C755 Rising Prices
There was indeed one person in the harem who merged the memories of this body with Shen Muqing's. It was equivalent to two people merging into one. However, Shen Muqing had no impression of Shen Qingmei, so … So I didn't really want to get in touch.2
As time passed, the estrangement between him and his memory gradually disappeared. However, he still did not find an opportunity to meet Shen Qingmei. Shen Qingmei did not take the initiative to contact him for some unknown reason, causing him to heave a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Shen Muqing felt a little guilty. With that in mind, he quickly arrived at the main palace of the Queen. In the middle of the red decorations, 20 books of Ethical Code of Women were laid out in front of him.
Shen Muqing smiled and stood in front of Ethical Code of Women for a while. Then, a girl walked out and knelt down: "This servant Qing Luan is the maid of the empress. I pay my respects to Prince of Yan! Your Highness is resting right now. May I know what matter Prince of Yan has brought me here? "
Shen Muqing said, "Then I won't disturb you any further. There's nothing important about my visit this time. I was ordered by my royal father to come and fetch some Ethical Code of Women."
After saying that, she casually picked up one of the books. The palace maid was overjoyed as she happily said, "Thank you, Prince of Yan. This is Your Highness's sore spot!"
Shen Muqing said in a matter-of-fact manner, "What are you thanking me for? This is what I should do."
Following that, he took another four books and under Qing Luan's earnest gaze, he directly left. Leaving? The palace maid was dumbfounded. She saw that Shen Muqing had walked a long distance away, so she quickly chased after him: "Prince of Yan, there's more over there!"
Shen Muqing said, "Let's just take five books this time. As for the rest, leave them to me. I'll come back later if it's useful."
Qing Luan was on the verge of tears. With a helpless look on her face, she grabbed onto Shen Muqing's sleeve. "Prince, you can't do this! You, you just left like that. I, how am I supposed to be good at this? "
Shen Muqing said, "Rest assured, the Queen must have her own wisdom. She will not blame you for knowing why This King did it." When Qing Luan saw this, she could only watch Shen Muqing leave, feeling uneasy as she went back.
However, no one noticed that in an inconspicuous corner, there was a woman with a beautiful face and gentle temperament. She used her white fingers to grip onto a tree on the side and looked at Shen Muqing's back with eyes full of joy, cowardice, love, and other feelings.
On the other side, Qing Luan returned to the main hall. She knelt down in front of the silhouette behind the bead curtain and said, "Your Highness, Prince of Yan has left."
The silhouette behind the pearl curtain was of course the empress. The empress was graceful, but her tone was cold as she asked, "What did he come for?"
Qing Luan replied, "Reporting to the Empress, Your Highness, Prince of Yan said he came here on His Majesty's orders to fetch some Ethical Code of Women."
The empress's eyes lit up as she excitedly asked, "Did Prince of Yan take away all of the Lili?"
Qing Luan hesitated for a moment before she whispered, "He only took five books. He said he will take the rest later."
Anger welled up in the empress's heart. "What's going on? If he took five books, what difference would there be between him taking the remaining fifteen books and not taking them? Is he humiliating me? "
Qing Luan kneeled on the ground, "This servant asked Prince of Yan too, but Prince of Yan definitely won't take the remaining fifteen books. Also say, still say."
The empress asked, "What else did you say?"
Qing Luan said, "He also said that the empress is extremely intelligent and will definitely be able to guess why he did what he did. He will not punish her."
The Queen's face turned green and said hatefully: "This Prince of Yan! It's obvious that they think I'm giving him too little of a reward, that's why they're raising the price so brazenly! "
