The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

In the palace.

"My son, are you really planning to let the tiger go back to the mountains?" The Queen Mother's voice came with a hint of displeasure.

Since he was a child, his mother had been accustomed to calling him here and sending him away at will. Even after many years when he had become an emperor, she did not show any sign of restraint... The emperor raised his eyes and looked at her with a complicated gaze. He was extremely impatient in his heart, but he had to pretend to be respectful on the surface. When would this kind of life end!

He said in a deep voice, "Mother, the best opportunity has been missed. We can only make long-term plans."

The Queen Mother suddenly raised her voice, "Plan long and hard, plan long and hard! You have been planning for twelve years, planning until he got married, planning until he inherited the throne of Prince Zhuo. How on earth did you manage to be the emperor? You couldn't accomplish anything in twelve years. If it weren't for... Humph!"

The Queen Mother slammed the tea bowl in her hand onto the table, as if she was venting her inner dissatisfaction in this way.

The emperor was already used to her attitude. He was indifferent and kept it to himself when he was not satisfied with him. Who told her that she had no choice? Did she really think that she would be satisfied just because her brother was the emperor? Ha!

"Mother, haven't we tried to take action many times over the years? Didn't Nanny Fang fail when she personally delivered the poisoned wine?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she became angry and wanted to refute.

He continued, "I believe that your mother knows the battle record of this new Princess Zhuo better than I do... I have agreed to posthumously confer the title of Super-Rank Prince's Consort on Madam Shen, and the decree will be announced today. Let them be happy for a few more days... Since your mother is not feeling well, I will take my leave first." After saying this, he turned and left as fast as if he was avoiding something.

The empress dowager was slightly startled, looking at the bright yellow figure disappearing into the distance with an obscure expression. There was reluctance and anger at the lack of resistance, but there was no guilt at all.

The drama in front of the Shen Mansion is still going on. Shangshu Shen, who has been pretending to be an invisible man, finally raises his eyes to look at his daughter who is beyond his control... She was well-behaved and sensible when she was young, but she didn't expect that after hiding in the temple for six years, she would ruin his plans as soon as she came back.

Shen Nian narrowed her eyes slightly, pondering her motive for coming back today.

Madam Shen suppressed her uneasiness and stepped forward to say respectfully, "Princess... How could such an important matter as the dowry be missed? It must be that the servants around you are young and inexperienced. How about I send a few capable maids to help you take care of it?"

Shen Yu ignored her completely and raised his hand slightly. Zhan Chun behind him understood and silently opened a huge dowry list.

He took two steps forward and began to sing and read: "My lord, the red gold willow-patterned hairpins bestowed on Madam Su by the emperor are indeed not found in the princess's dowry, but the others are all there, such as a pair of agarwood jade ruyi inlaid with jade, a pair of glazed blood jade bracelets with carved patterns, a Chaoyang eight-treasure jade hairpin, a white jade ruyi hairpin inlaid with gems, a red gold hairpin inlaid with emerald, a pair of gold bead purple ying eight-treasure earrings, a pair of jade-carved gold ears inlaid with gems, a golden crabapple jade hairpin, a red coral glazed Su hairpin, a pair of jasper carved hollow jade pendants, a pair of peacock jadeite cloud-patterned jade pendants, a set of red sandalwood glazed multicolored screens, a set of mahogany screens inlaid with gold beads and jade, a pair of holly glazed double-eared vases, a pair of white jade vases with relief carvings of auspicious beasts..."

"Wow!!!" The people became more and more excited as they listened. "How much silver does this cost? Just by hearing the name, we know that they must be all rare treasures!"

"If I could just touch it... not just take a look at it, my life would be worth it."

"Mr. Shen's family is so low-key on weekdays. The background of the Shangshu Mansion is really incomparable to that of ordinary families.

"Master Shen is such a good father!"

Listening to the endless praises around him, Shen Nian frowned. It was said in the mansion that due to her unlucky fate, both the servants and the masters had fallen ill. Even he himself had fallen down several times in the mansion for no reason. His back ached whenever he thought about it.

And those servants who were sick suddenly recovered on the day of her wedding? Of course, he didn't believe in the four-kill fate, but he didn't believe it was a coincidence...

"Your mother personally prepared the dowry, how could yours be missing? Nonsense!"

Lord Shen said in a helpless tone, "Although today is not the day to return home, it is not in accordance with the rules for you to come back... but since this is the case, come in first and talk about it." After saying that, he walked into the mansion first.

Shen Yu had achieved his first goal, so he didn't care about his words that he didn't know the rules.

Satisfied, she led a group of palace guards and marched into the Shen Residence in a mighty procession. When the servants saw her like this, they all avoided her, looking as if they had seen a ghost!

The eldest lady just left yesterday, and today she can't wait to come back and mess with them? Oh my God!!

The centuries-old heritage of the Shen Mansion and the Zhuo Prince Mansion cannot be compared. The courtyard is not exquisite enough, and there are very few vegetation. The only unknown tree in the front yard grows alone.

But after entering the main hall, she saw that all the furnishings were of top quality. Coincidentally, many of the furnishings were familiar to her memory, and they came from her maternal grandfather's Su Mansion...

Shen Yu looked ahead and gave an intriguing smile to the Shen family members who were accustomed to these decorations.

She inherited the memory of her original body, so of course she knew that Shen Nian was just a poor scholar before he became the Shangshu. No, it should be said that before he became the Phoenix Man, he had nothing except his youth and good looks.

Unfortunately, the original body's biological mother was the peacock girl who gave birth to him.

Indeed, in terms of appearance alone, Lord Shen, who is already in his thirties, is still a refined middle-aged handsome man, gentle to others and with elegant manners. However, compared with a handsome man like Lu Yingxing, who is a nobleman, there is still some gap.

Therefore, Shen Yu couldn't understand why her mother, who had grown up watching all kinds of handsome men in Luocheng, would fall for Shen Nian? So, she went to ask Aunt Ye.

So, I learned a story about a farmer and a snake. Tsk! There were two snakes...

In the main hall, all the masters of the Shen Mansion were waiting here, including Shen Yue and the always low-key concubine Xu. In addition, there were three concubines: Huang, Zhang, and Liu.

During Shen Nian's marriage to his mother, they were indeed a couple for life, but ever since he remarried his aunt, he was suddenly suppressed and resorted to revenge consumption, with concubines being brought into the house one after another. This was also what his aunt cared about the most.

Oh! It's okay to mind!

The note had no signature or origin, but if someone had the ability to deliver it to Prince Zhuo's mansion... at least it wouldn't be someone who had no roots in the mansion who could do it.

It's impossible that Shen Yue and her daughter planned everything against her.

His eyes swept over the beautiful lady with calm eyes. This was Aunt Xu who had suddenly risen in the past month... She had been keeping a low profile in the Shen Mansion for several years. Why did she suddenly become Shen Nian's new favorite? Was it a coincidence?

Shen Yu is now the princess, so it is natural for her to sit in the main seat.

She played with her nails leisurely without saying a word. Everyone waited for a long time until Lord Shen finally spoke, "Mei Niang mentioned that some of the dowry left by Su had been in disrepair for a long time and had been damaged. In order to save your face, you have been replaced with new items of equal value. I guess the hairpin given by the late emperor is among them."

Shen Yu raised his head, deliberately looking confused, "Mei Niang? Is she the new concubine in the mansion? This name sounds quite worldly..."

Mrs. Shen, who was usually dignified and self-possessed, had a frown on her face for a moment after hearing her words, and she almost lost her composure.
