The princess was fed contraceptive soup on the day of the marriage exchange, and she went crazy

The other concubines were also willing to enter the palace, but the second concubine finally made up her mind: "I don't want to enter the palace."

Seeing Sheng Nanzhi looking at her in surprise, the second concubine's eyebrows curved.

"What I am best at is embroidery."

"What I want to do most is just embroidery."

"I came to the mansion before because a relative of mine passed away. I am still young and it is not safe for me to stay outside."

"But in the mansion, although I can embroider, the things I make can only be used by myself or given to the sisters in the mansion. I feel more and more that this is not the life I want to live."

"If you enter the palace, the walls are deep and there are many people and things going on. It would be even more difficult to embroider peacefully."

"My wish is to open an embroidery workshop of my own, find some sisters who share the same hobby, and embroider together. So that many people in the imperial city can wear the clothes I make."

Shi Huaizhi, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke: "Okay."

"I'll arrange for someone to find a good place for you and help you open your embroidery workshop."

Yin Qiu's eyes curved, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Sheng Nanzhi's eyebrows moved slightly, and when the concubines left to pack their things, she turned her head to look at Shi Huaizhi.

"Your Majesty...I feel that I am not suitable to enter the palace."

"I grew up in the mountains and am used to a free and unfettered life. I enjoy farming and reading fortunes."

"The palace walls are deep, the people are numerous and the affairs are complicated. I really feel that I am not qualified to be the queen and cannot handle it all."

"Or, I won't enter the palace either, right?"

Shi Huaizhi glared at him: "Oh? The Queen just said, what do you like?"

"Do you like digging the fields and farming? Do you like fortune-telling?"

Sheng Nanzhi nodded. Yin Qiu was the second concubine and an elder in the mansion, so Shi Huaizhi could let her go without hesitation.

She had known Shi Huaizhi for less than half a year, so Shi Huaizhi shouldn't have much feelings for her.

"Yuanbao!" he called out.

Yuanbao quickly poked his head in from outside the door.

Shi Huaizhi immediately gave the order: "Send a message to the palace and have them clean up the Imperial Garden. Remove all the flowers in the Imperial Garden and dig up the land. Leave it for the Empress to farm."

"Then take some soil and fill up the lake in the Imperial Garden, leaving some water for the Empress to farm."

Yuanbao didn't understand, but was greatly shocked, and only nodded hesitantly.

"No! No, no, no!"

Is Shi Huaizhi crazy?

Was the Imperial Garden dug up for farming? Was the lake filled in for farming?

She raised her hand and pressed her forehead. No, why?

Just now, the Second Concubine said she wanted to embroider. Why didn't he just order the trees in the palace to be cut down, raise silkworms for the Second Concubine, weave cloth with the silk, and then embroider for her?

Why did it change so suddenly when it came to her?

Sheng Nanzhi bit her lip. It couldn't be that she was so charming that Shi Huaizhi fell in love with her at first sight, right?

"Forget it. I don't really like farming."

"Farming in the palace is not decent."

Shi Huaizhi looked at Sheng Nanzhi for a long time, then curled his lips slightly: "Then Queen, please pack your things. I also have some things left in the palace. I will go and pack them together."

Shi Huaizhi said this and left with Yuanbao.

Only after walking down the stairs and a distance away did Shi Huaizhi stop and frown: "You are right, the Queen really has no one she likes, including me."

"Ah?" Yuanbao's heart suddenly rose. He had not forgotten that it was because of his casual remark that he was asked to count the lotus flowers for three days.

"Your Majesty, I was just speaking casually, just casually."

Shi Huaizhi's brows didn't relax, he just took a deep breath: "Tell me, why is she like this? I feel that my conditions in all aspects should be better than others, right? But why can't I still... impress her?"

Yuanbao looked up at the sky but didn't dare to speak.

Shi Huaizhi was furious: "I'm talking to you. Aren't you usually very talkative? What's wrong? Are you mute today?"

Yuan Bao complained: "Can I speak? If I say something wrong, will Your Majesty punish me?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Yuan Bao immediately became excited: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and your Majesty's words are unbreakable!"

He was a little confused: "Chi Xiao told me before that His Majesty likes the Empress. But I still don't know why His Majesty likes the Empress."

"Is it because of that accident?"

"Because Your Majesty had sex with the Empress, you fell in love with her?"

"Of course not." Shi Huaizhi frowned: "Am I such a superficial person?"

"No, no." Yuan Bao said no, but his expression was completely different: "Why is that? Although you and the Queen are married, you haven't been together for long. The Queen... I haven't noticed anything different about her than other women."

"Even more cunning."

Shi Huaizhi glanced at Yuanbao. Cunning?

But he promised Yuanbao that he would not punish him for what he said.

He was secretly making plans in his mind, but he remained calm on the surface: "She and I didn't meet because of that accident."

"She saved me."

"Four years ago, in Yinying Town, the little Taoist nun who saved me was her."

"Before Sheng Qingqian plotted, I actually had no intention of having anything happen between me and Sheng Nanzhi. Although I was drugged, I am not completely unable to control myself."

"But I recognized the person on the bed at a glance. It was her."

Yuan Bao couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "That little Taoist nun, is it her?"

He did remember that incident. Due to an accident, Shi Huaizhi was separated from them, and was chased and injured.

They searched for more than ten days before finally finding Shi Huaizhi.

At that time, Shi Huaizhi said that he was rescued by a little Taoist nun, and asked them to find the person by all means.

But they searched all the Taoist temples and couldn't find such a little Taoist nun.

But how did the little Taoist nun become the eldest daughter of the Sheng family?

If this is the case, then everything seems to make sense.

Why was Shi Huaizhi's attitude towards Sheng Nanzhi a little strange before?

Why did he fall in love with Sheng Nanzhi so quickly?

but……

Yuan Bao blinked his eyes and asked: "Your Majesty, have you told the Empress about this matter? Have you recognized her?"

Shi Huai was stunned and said nothing.

As soon as he saw Huaizhi's reaction, Yuanbao already knew the answer.

"Your Majesty, you haven't even told the Empress about your connection to her. How can she believe that you truly love her?"

"Is that so?" Shi Huaizhi frowned, feeling that something was still wrong.

Sheng Nanzhi still has secrets.

He was silent for a long time. He had indeed thought about it before, just let things take their course and wait.

Waiting for Sheng Nanzhi to tell him the secret.

But Sheng Nanzhi actually thought of leaving him.

Although it was said in a joking tone, he could still tell what was a joke and what was the truth.

He would never allow it.
