Sheng Nanzhi naturally knew what Concubine Hua was talking about. She smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry about me. I don't feel any hardship."

"I can stay in Prince Yi's mansion for the rest of my life, living a life of luxury, worrying about nothing. I can't help but feel happy. How could I possibly feel bitter?"

Concubine Hua looked at Sheng Nanzhi with a softer look in her eyes: "Good child, I know you are a good child and I know you don't feel the pain."

She was heartbroken. Sheng Nanzhi had been affected by the prophecy of the calamity star since she was a child, and had spent more than ten years in that desolate and impoverished village, having endured all kinds of hardships. Although she later returned to the Sheng Mansion, the people there clearly treated her very badly.

That's why she felt that she was living a very good life in Prince Yi's Mansion.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that you will live in peace and comfort in Prince Yi's mansion. I will give you the best in food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Sheng Nanzhi didn't refuse, but smiled and took Concubine Hua's arm: "Thank you, mother."

so good.

In her previous life, how could Sheng Yunrou be willing to give up such a good life and such a good mother-in-law to seduce Wen Tingyun?

If Shi Huaizhi hadn't been awake, and if she hadn't been too lazy to deal with the mess in front of her, she would have really wanted to stay in Prince Yi's Mansion forever.

This was absolutely the day she had dreamed of.

Sheng Nanzhi sighed softly, what a pity.

Concubine Hua seemed determined to follow through on her previous promise and immediately said, "Some fine gifts have been sent to us recently. There are two rolls of exquisite gold-woven silk, the color of which is a very tender pink. At my age, I really can't handle such a color. You can use it to make some clothes."

"That gauze is light and thin, as thin as a cicada's wing, perfect for summer. You can take it back later."

"There are also some head ornaments and some pink velvet flower jewelry, which will match your embroidered veil. You can take them back."

"You are good-looking and well-dressed, so you must look good."

"Besides that, there are a few nice pieces of jade. You can take them back and have someone make you some bracelets or something."

Sheng Nanzhi knew that she wanted to compensate her for what happened in the past few days, and she almost never refused anything. She just smiled and responded: "Thank you, mother."

Concubine Hua became more and more happy. Although her daughter-in-law was burdened with the prophecy of disaster, she was really a well-behaved and sensible person. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. The more she got along with her, the more she liked her.

"That's great." Concubine Hua smiled and said, "It's great that Huaizhi can marry you."

Her eyes curved as she asked about the baby in her belly: "I heard everything about yesterday. Although you weren't hurt, you must have been frightened. Do you feel any discomfort in your stomach?"

"No, not at all."

Concubine Hua nodded: "That's a well-behaved child. The next child she'll have will definitely be well-behaved and sensible, which will save you a lot of worry."

Sheng Nanzhi responded with a smile, and had lunch with Concubine Hua in the palace before leaving Concubine Hua's palace and preparing to leave.

Just as he arrived at the Imperial Garden, he ran into the emperor who was standing there, obviously waiting for a long time.

Sheng Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a jolt in her heart. The last time the emperor stopped her, he was telling her that Wen Tingyun wanted to marry her.

This time...what's the reason?

Although the emperor had not spoken yet, Sheng Nanzhi always felt that nothing good was going to happen.

Sheng Nanzhi gritted her teeth and took two steps forward to salute: "Daughter-in-law, pay your respects to the emperor."

"Get up."

The emperor woke up Sheng Nanzhi and looked at her silently without saying a word.

Sheng Nanzhi was a little panicked. What exactly did the emperor want to do?

But she quickly calmed down and responded calmly to whatever he said.

In her previous life, she had dealt with the emperor many times and it was not difficult to deal with him.

Just as he was thinking about it, the emperor suddenly spoke: "When I saw Concubine Rou summon you to the palace and talk to you earlier, it seemed like you and Concubine Rou had a good relationship?"

Is it because of Sheng Yunrou?

Sheng Nanzhi frowned slightly. She had been busy dealing with Wen Tingyun in the past two days and had not paid much attention to Sheng Yunrou.

She thought she had already given Sheng Yunrou a heads-up.

It’s impossible that Sheng Yunrou has caused trouble again in the past two days, right?

It's not impossible. After all, Sheng Yunrou, who has completely changed her core, behaves in a way that is too bizarre.

Sheng Nanzhi gritted his teeth secretly and considered: "It's not good, nor is it bad."

"Last time, my daughter-in-law seemed to have mentioned it to my father."

"My daughter-in-law has lived in the farm for many years and only returned to the Sheng family half a year ago. She is actually quite unfamiliar with everything in the Sheng family."

"Before, Concubine Rou relied on her status as a legitimate daughter to bully her daughter-in-law."

"But I don't know why Concubine Rou suddenly changed her attitude towards her daughter-in-law. She was actually kind to her."

"After observing her for a while, the daughter-in-law felt that her kindness didn't seem fake, so her opinion of her changed slightly."

"But because she changed her personality and entered the palace soon after, and I got married, the time we actually reconciled wasn't very long."

That being said, it should be possible.

It not only expressed that she had no hostility towards Sheng Yunrou, but also showed that she was not very familiar with Sheng Yunrou.

No matter what Sheng Yunrou did or what trouble she got into, it should... have nothing to do with her.

Sheng Nanzhi's mind was working quickly, and he felt that there were no loopholes in his words.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the emperor speak again: "But Concubine Rou, it seems that she likes you very much."

"Last time you told me you missed your family, but I only summoned you to the palace."

"And it's not just Concubine Rou. Concubine Hua seems to like you very much as well. She has praised you in front of me more than once, saying that you are truly a very good person."

"Since Concubine Rou likes you and has a pretty good relationship with you, and Concubine Hua also likes you, then do you want to...come to the palace to accompany Concubine Rou and Concubine Hua?"

Sheng Nanzhi widened her eyes in shock. Even though she felt she had made sufficient preparations, when the emperor said this, she still felt that her preparations were not enough.

She frowned and subconsciously clenched her handkerchief.

The emperor let her into the palace?

"Your Majesty, when you say entering the palace to accompany Concubine Rou and Concubine Hua, you mean..."

The emperor observed Sheng Nanzhi's reaction and was silent for a moment. He had chosen his words carefully, but it seemed that he still scared her.

He was silent for a moment, and finally decided to suppress his true intentions so as not to scare people away.

"It doesn't mean anything, don't think too much about it."

"I just think that since you were almost assassinated in Prince Yi's mansion, it is enough to prove that the defenses in Prince Yi's mansion are not very strict. After all, you are pregnant with Prince Yi's child, and I don't want anything to happen to the child."

"It is best for you to come to the palace."

"The palace is extremely well guarded. At least, your safety is guaranteed."
