Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

"Brother, there are so many flowers blooming here!" Shen Ruyin, being led by Shen Ye's hand, didn't want to walk any further when they reached a wisteria trellis.

The wisteria grows in clusters, and when the wind blows, the flower clusters sway, making it very beautiful.

Shen Ye looked at the flowers, then at his younger sister, and a thought struck him. He asked the palace maid beside him, "Can we pick these flower clusters?"

The palace maid replied, "Does Your Highness wish to admire them? Which string of flowers would you like to pick? I will go and cut it off right away."

Shen Ye looked up for a long time before picking out two skewers.

The palace servants cut them off to make sure there were nothing inappropriate before presenting them to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye waved to his younger sister, "Yinyin, come here quickly, I'll redo your hair."

Shen Ruyin could tell at a glance that her brother wanted to dress her up, so she didn't refuse. She ran a few steps and then stood with her back to Shen Ye: "The flowers that brother picked are really beautiful."

“That’s right,” Shen Ye said without the help of the palace servants. He took a small part of the hair ribbon off Shen Ruyin’s head, tied the flower string on it, and carefully adjusted its position.

The palace servants were prepared to step in if Shen Ye didn't do a good job, but they didn't expect Shen Ye to be so skillful.

"Your Excellency has excellent taste; these two bouquets of flowers suit the County Princess very well."

Shen Ye said with some pride, "My sister is cuter; this flower can't compare to her."

Shen Ruyin reached out and touched the flower in her hair, accepting her brother's praise without hesitation.

"Who are you? Who gave you permission to pick flowers here?" A chubby child stood on a nearby artificial hill, looking down at the children.

The palace servants beside him quickly bowed and greeted him: "Your Highness, Ninth Prince."

Ninth Prince?

Shen Ruyin thought for a moment, and realized that it seemed to be the Empress's youngest son, but he died rather young.

By the way, how did he die again?

"Get up, both of you," the Ninth Prince waved his hand and gestured with his chin toward Shen Ruyin and her brother, "I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the palace servants beside the two of them: "I remember you are palace servants of Consort Shen?"

A small, inconspicuous pebble rolled to one side at the Ninth Prince's feet, but the palace servants, who had their heads bowed, did not notice it.

Shen Ruyin quickly tugged at Shen Ye's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, he's standing so high. What if he falls and blames us?"

Shen Ye also snapped out of his slightly angry state, noticed the Ninth Prince's danger, gently patted Shen Ruyin, and took a few steps in that direction without leaving a trace.

The palace servants were introducing Shen Ruyin and the other woman to the Ninth Prince, but this unexpectedly drew a soft snort from him.

"The detestable Consort Shen can have nieces and nephews?"

Shen Ye and Shen Ruyin frowned in unison, about to say something, when they heard a gasp from not far away.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, this servant has finally found you! Why are you standing so high up!"

"You chatterbox!" The Ninth Prince ignored the Shen siblings and immediately turned to leave, but he didn't notice that the ground was different from before. He slipped and fell.

Shen Ruyin quickly called out, "Brother!"

Shen Ye reacted quickly and stepped forward to catch it, only to be thrown into the arms of the chubby boy and fall to the ground together.

"Ouch!"

"elder brother!"

"Your Highness!"

The area around the artificial hill immediately became noisy.

Shen Ruyin was small but quick-witted, and she reached her brother's side before the other palace servants.

She did a quick check and found that Shen Ye was not seriously injured. He probably just underestimated the weight of the Ninth Prince, was a little dazed from being hit, and was in a bit of pain from the fall. Tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

Shen Ye quickly got up, pushed the chubby Ninth Prince, who was frightened but was fine after he caught him, to the side, and then comforted his sister: "Yinyin, don't cry, brother is fine."

The Ninth Prince was startled awake by his voice, glanced at the scratches on his hands, and burst into tears.

To be honest, it's a bit harsh.

Shen Ruyin shrank into her brother's arms, looking at the Ninth Prince with a hint of fear in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she reached out and covered her brother's ears.

The eunuchs who were taking care of the Ninth Prince were terrified. Knowing they couldn't take the responsibility themselves, they simply pushed it all onto Shen Ruyin and her brother.

"Whose children are you, daring to lure His Highness Ninth Prince up to the artificial hill? If something happens to His Highness Ninth Prince, can you bear the responsibility?!"

“Nonsense!” A palace maid standing beside Consort Shen quickly stepped forward. “It was clearly Marquis Xin who saved His Highness the Ninth Prince. You are slandering him!”

More than three years have passed, and the once famous name of Marquis Xin is no longer something that people can easily recall.

The Ninth Prince's eunuch said without hesitation, "What slander? What I saw is the truth. Her Majesty the Empress will not believe you. Just you wait!"

"Your Highness," a voice called from afar, clearly also looking for someone.

The Ninth Prince's eunuch immediately shouted, "Auntie, Auntie, I've found His Highness the Ninth Prince! He was tricked into falling off the artificial hill!"

Shen Ruyin and Shen Ye exchanged a glance, neither of them taking the initiative to defend themselves.

Not to mention that the palace servants given by Consort Shen saw everything, this is the royal palace garden, how could there be no eyes watching?

If, under such circumstances, the Empress can also turn black into white, then the Shen family, including Consort Shen, will likely face difficulties in the future.

But if the Empress can distinguish right from wrong, then she can take the matter up to the master in charge, and this irresponsible eunuch who dared to slander them should pay the price.

When the palace servants from the Empress's palace arrived and saw the Ninth Prince crying, although they hesitated, they still decisively chose to believe the young eunuch's words: "Whose young master or young lady is this? Since you dare to hurt His Highness the Ninth Prince, you will have to come with us."

As they spoke, these people moved to grab the person.

Upon seeing this scene, the Ninth Prince was about to speak when a young eunuch rushed to his side and whispered something in his ear. The Ninth Prince paused and then remained silent.

Before he could speak, the palace servants in the Empress's palace abandoned their previous hesitation and looked at Shen Ruyin and her brother as if they were prisoners.

The people in Consort Shen's palace and Granny Lin tried their best to protect the two of them: "How dare you! These are Marquis Xin and Princess Fuchang! You dare to touch them in the slightest!"

"Marquis Xin is long gone, so where did this Marquis Xin come from? Not to mention Princess Fuchang. We serve in the Empress's palace and have never heard of such a princess."

After these words were spoken, some people remembered that Consort Shen was the sister of Marquis Xin, and Marquis Xin's son should indeed be entering the palace today. However, they had gone out to look for the Ninth Prince and had not seen any members of the Shen family paying respects to the Empress.

“Aunt,” the man stopped the person in charge, “Princess Jinyang is bringing her children to the palace today.”

The aunt in charge, reminded of this, quickly called for a halt, but the two sides had a long-standing grudge, and things had escalated to this point, so it couldn't be stopped in a short while.

Besides, the head maid didn't really care about the people in Consort Shen's palace.

As long as they are in the right, everything they say is acceptable.

Of course, this is assuming they are actually in the right.

Protected by Shen Ye, Shen Ruyin caught a glimpse of the magnificent procession approaching from afar. She tugged at her brother and, imitating the Ninth Prince, burst into tears.

She is young and usually doesn't speak much, but she can cry very loudly when she wants to.

"Mother, brother, let's go home! I want to go home! I don't want to stay in the capital!"
