The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Shen Qionghua knew that Xie Qian'an would not give up so easily. He was in urgent need of money for disaster relief and wanted to show his ability in front of the emperor. He would not give up easily until he achieved his goal.

Sure enough, early in the morning of the third day, when Shen Qionghua was having breakfast, Gancao came in hurriedly.

"Miss, something bad has happened. Several eunuchs have come from the palace and want to see you. I have placed them in the front hall."

Someone from the palace?

Shen Qionghua frowned slightly and asked, "Did he say anything?"

Licorice shook her head and said, "I have tried to test him, but he refused to speak. He just insisted on seeing the young lady."

Shaoyao was a little worried, "Miss, is there something wrong?"

Shen Qionghua shook her head. She didn't know either, but the person coming to the palace at this critical juncture was most likely related to Xie Qian'an.

Shen Qionghua put down her chopsticks and stood up. Shaoyao quickly brought her a cloak and put it on her. Then they walked towards the front hall.

As soon as I stepped into the front hall, I saw a pale and thin figure dressed as a eunuch lying on the armchair. He held a cup of tea in his hand and looked around with an arrogant look.

There were two short men standing beside him, both with fair complexions, and they were very respectful to him.

Hearing the noise, the man's eyes instantly looked over. When their eyes met, Shen Qionghua instantly recognized who the man was and immediately cried out in his heart that something was wrong.

Shen Qionghua had seen him before. The last time she entered the palace, he was standing behind Concubine Zhou. He was the eunuch in charge of the Yanx Palace.

"Miss Shen is really arrogant. We have been waiting for you here for a long time." Wu Yingjin said with a forced smile.

Shen Qionghua's eyes darkened, and his face was full of doubts.

"Excuse me, sir, may I ask who you are...?"

Wu Yingjin's face was filled with shock. "How could you not recognize me? I'm the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Concubine! The last time you entered the palace, I was standing next to her!"

The unfriendly tone was as if Shen Qionghua was disrespectful to him by not knowing him.

Shen Qionghua seemed to have suddenly realized something.

"Ah, I'm so sorry. I was so focused on seeing the Imperial Concubine that I didn't pay attention to the others. I wonder why the eunuch came to the Shen Mansion today?"

Wu Yingjin's face was filled with displeasure. When he heard the last sentence, a cold laugh escaped his nose. He stood up, brushed off his sleeves, and said, "The Imperial Concubine wants to see you, Miss Shen. Please come in."

The imperial concubine wants her to enter the palace?

Shen Qionghua's pupils shrank slightly. She didn't think that the imperial concubine would summon her into the palace for no reason. She was afraid that it was probably related to what she had said to Xie Qian'an the day before.

Now that she has entered the palace, it would be easy for the imperial concubine to do anything she wants to her.

Shen Qionghua asked, "Eunuch, I wonder what happened that the Imperial Concubine suddenly summoned me to the palace?"

Wu Yingjin glanced at Shen Qionghua and said, "How could we possibly know what the Imperial Concubine is thinking? It's just a good thing. With the Shen family's status, Miss Shen should feel honored to be able to enter the palace."

After hearing what Wu Yingjin said, Shen Qionghua became more and more certain that Concubine Zhou had no good intentions this time, and it might be because of the disaster relief money.

Shen Qionghua rolled her eyes and said, "Then please wait a moment, eunuch. I'll go change my clothes so as not to be disrespectful in front of the Empress."

As Shen Qionghua was speaking, she walked out. Wu Yingjin glanced at her, and the two young eunuchs beside him immediately stepped forward to block Shen Qionghua's way.

Wu Yingjin spoke lightly,

"I'm in a hurry to go back and report to the Imperial Concubine. Miss Shen, please don't make things difficult for me. It's getting late now. Miss Shen, do you want the Imperial Concubine to wait for you?"

He didn't even give me time to change clothes.

Shen Qionghua knew that this was because they were afraid that she would tip off others.

It seems that we have to enter this palace.

"You are joking, eunuch. The imperial concubine is a daughter of gold. Even if I have ten times the courage, I dare not let her wait for me. I will follow you now." Shen Qionghua said with a cold smile.

Then he suddenly grabbed Shaoyao's hand that was supporting her, lowered his head and quickly said a few words in Shaoyao's ear, and then let go and walked forward while Shaoyao was stunned.

After taking two steps, she turned to Wu Yingjin and said, "Eunuch? Let's go quickly. Don't keep the Imperial Concubine waiting for too long."

Wu Yingjin looked at Shaoyao suspiciously, and seeing that Shaoyao looked timid, he followed Shen Qionghua's footsteps.

As soon as the people in the palace left, Shaoyao was instantly horrified and shouted, "An Yi!"

Shen Qionghua got on the carriage heading to the palace.

This time entering the palace is different from the last time. Last time, even if the Yongning Marquis Mansion and the Imperial Concubine had bad intentions, they still put on a good show. This time, he has already torn his face with Prince An, and the Imperial Concubine's attitude will definitely change greatly.

Shen Qionghua was a little uneasy, but she still looked calm on the surface. She had made up her mind in her heart that she must be very careful in the Yanx Palace and must not let Concubine Zhou catch her mistakes and make trouble for her.

After driving all the way, the carriage soon arrived at Xuanwu Gate.

Shen Qionghua got out of the car. Wu Yingjin glanced at her and said meaningfully, "Ms. Shen, please."

As he said this, he took the two young eunuchs and walked towards the palace gate as if he was familiar with the route.

Shen Qionghua pursed her red lips and followed.

Yanxi Palace.

Concubine Zhou was leaning on the couch, holding a cup of tea in her left hand and drinking it leisurely.

As soon as Shen Qionghua entered the hall, he knelt down and saluted.

"I, Shen Qionghua, greet the Imperial Concubine. May your Majesty be well and at peace."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell into silence. Shen Qionghua looked straight ahead and maintained a saluting posture.

Concubine Zhou glanced at the woman in front of her indifferently, half-crouched, faced forward, but her eyes were fixed on the ground, and the hairpins inserted in her bun were still.

The standard of her saluting posture was so high that even the concubines who had been taught by the maids could not match her. There was nothing wrong with her every move.

Concubine Zhou raised her eyebrows and said after a long while,

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Qionghua said softly, then stood up straight.

"The last time Miss Shen came to the palace, I didn't take a close look at her. I didn't know that Miss Shen's etiquette was so good. Even I couldn't compare to her when I was young." Concubine Zhou said softly.

Shen Qionghua's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Concubine Zhou couldn't deny it, her gentle voice was filled with a hint of majesty.

"Miss Shen, do you know why I summoned you to the palace?"

"How can I guess what your Majesty is thinking?" Shen Qionghua said softly.

Concubine Zhou sneered at this and said, "Miss Shen is always alert and attentive. Is there anything in this world that she doesn't know?"

Shen Qionghua pondered Concubine Zhou's words and smiled.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. The Shen family is just a merchant family, and I am just an ordinary girl. How can I have the ability to see and hear everything?"

"It's just that my father died young, leaving only my mother and I, an orphan, as well as a widow. With a large estate to manage, I'm a bit more wary than others."

"If they don't even have this kind of precaution, I'm afraid there would have been shameless and rude people who wanted to get something for nothing and defraud the Shen family of their wealth."

"People's hearts are unpredictable, so we have to be on guard, my lady."

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Zhou's originally lazy eyes suddenly became sharp, like a sharp arrow shooting towards Shen Qionghua.
