"Are you the Shen family's medicine jar?"

A not-so-pleasant voice came from afar.

I didn't know when, but several men of different ages in princely attire were standing not far away, looking at Shen Qiaochen with different expressions.

Obviously, these are the sons of Emperor Chongming.

Looking down at the Sixth Princess who was still hanging on his body, Shen Qiao was worried about how to get up and salute.

The girl's deliberately soft voice came to my ears,

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh by me by now."

His tone was full of disgust, then he curled his lips, stood up from Shen Qiaochen, straightened his clothes, and then sat upright, looking like a little adult.

Shen Qiao felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar, when she heard the sound sounded again, this time it seemed to be a little closer.

"This prince is asking you, you are the one with the disease in General Shen's Mansion..."

When I said this, I was suddenly pulled by the sleeves of the person standing next to me, and then changed my words;

"That medicine jar..."

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Shen Qiaochen already understood that what he didn't say was not a good thing.

But she didn't care. The combined experiences of her past and present lives, these people in front of her could no longer have any influence on her.

On the contrary, I know a thing or two about the final outcome of everyone present in the previous life.

For example, the one in front of me, who was impatiently waiting for his reply, was Empress Li's only son and the only legitimate son today.

——The third prince Xiao Che.

A major event happened not long ago in his previous life. Emperor Chongming fell seriously ill for unknown reasons, and his health became worse than before.

Soon the palace issued an order to make the third prince Xiao Che the crown prince. Concubine Shen behaved inappropriately and was demoted from imperial concubine to concubine Chen. Together with her three children, she could no longer be favored.

Even the Empress Dowager Lin, the biological mother of Emperor Chongming, shunned the Cining Palace and rarely came out.

Queen Li was in charge of the harem, and Li's father, the Right Chancellor, was in power in the previous dynasty. For a time, the Li family, a relative, was really prosperous.

But gradually, rumors spread that Emperor Dao Chongming was not seriously ill but poisoned, and the poison was caused by the prince and the queen.

The two refused to admit it and ordered a thorough investigation of the rumors.

It was at this time that Xiao Li appeared in front of people. He produced various evidences to prove the crimes of the Crown Prince and Queen Li.

He also sternly condemned the prince's disloyalty and unfilial piety as a son-in-law. As a result, the prince and Queen Li were deposed, and the Li family completely lost power.

Later, Xiao Liming stayed in front of Emperor Chongming's bedside every day, playing the role of a good son with both loyalty and filial piety, and a virtuous prince with great glory.

Secretly, he took over most of the power of the Li family, and Shen Qiaochen was so passionate about him that he was willing to drag the Shen family behind him into the fire pit of this conspiracy.

But obviously at the beginning, Xiao Li was just an unloved prince with a humble mother's family. He could only follow the prince every day, just like a dog kept by his side. He usually amused Menzi for fun, but in the end he was very cruel. He bit his owner back and dismantled him into his belly.

Shen Qiao Shen had already sat down with Mrs. Shen. When she heard the summons, she immediately stood up and walked to the center of the hall.

"Shen Qiaochen, the daughter of General Jianwei, pays homage to His Majesty."

Then I heard Emperor Chongming continue:

"Shen Qiaochen... I remember you. You are Zicheng's little daughter. I haven't seen you for many years, but you have grown so big."

After saying that, he waved to Shen Qiaochen to stand closer again, looked at him for a moment, seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"I still remember that when you entered the palace on Wanshou Day that year, you were still a shy little girl, but now you are also a big girl."

After a pause, he finally added: "She is somewhat similar to your aunt."

Hearing this, Shen Qiaochen's heart skipped a beat, but her face didn't change at all.

He blinked and replied softly: "The imperial concubine is so beautiful and graceful, how can my daughter be as good as my aunt?"

Shen Qiaochen's eyes were pure, her tone was soft but sincere, and her determination made Emperor Chongming find it very interesting, so he laughed out loud, turned to Concubine Shen and said:

"You, my precious niece, are nothing like her father who is a soldier and a ruffian."

Concubine Shen glanced sideways at Emperor Chongming and said with a half-smile:

"If I hear His Majesty say that, I don't know how long I will be angry. If I don't come back by the end of the year, there will be no one to drink with Your Majesty. Your Majesty has secretly hidden the pear blossom white, and I don't know who will get an advantage in the end."

As he spoke, he turned his head and curled his lips slyly at Shen Qiao.

"You woman, I and Zicheng are like brothers. How could he be so stingy? In last month's good news, he even brought a letter saying that he would return to Beijing later and would definitely bring several carts of good wine from South Vietnam."

The Shen family has been responsible for guarding the southern border for generations, and South Vietnamese wine is famous all over the world. Shen Congyan and his son have been at war with the South Vietnamese for several years, so they are naturally very clear about it.

When I return to Beijing every year to report on my work, among the trophies I bring back, there will definitely be good wine from South Vietnam.

They saw the emperor and the concubine bickering like an ordinary couple. Even if others couldn't hear the specific content of the conversation, they could tell that Emperor Chongming was very affectionate towards Concubine Shen.

As a result, the people present had a deeper understanding of the honor and favor of the Shen family.

In an instant, the gazes cast on the three Shen brothers and sisters became even more intense.

The most eye-catching one is Shen Qiaochen, who was just given by the emperor to sit next to Concubine Shen.

Because of this palace banquet, it was stipulated that only officials of third rank or above were allowed to attend with their legitimate children.

Therefore, there were not many people in the hall, and most of them were seated in families.

Mrs. Shen took two brothers, Shen Qiaoqi and Shen Qiaoran, to sit near the front of the hall.

There were no other concubines present today, so Shen Qiaochen sat under Concubine Shen, that is, sitting with the princesses of Emperor Chongming.

As soon as Shen Qiaochen sat down, a figure came close to her.

Turning around, I saw that it was Xiao Mingwei, the sixth princess born to Concubine Shen.

Emperor Chongming attached great importance to the education of his children and did not pay too much attention to the princes. He was also very concerned about the talents, learning and conduct of the princesses.

Even if there is a palace banquet today, these young princes and princesses still have to go to school.

So this is the first time for the Sixth Princess to see her cousin who is often spoken of by her mother and concubine.

Her Royal Highness, who is only ten years old, is very curious about her cousin who is said to be like a jar of traditional Chinese medicine.

Looking at the little man in front of him who was almost clinging to him, Shen Qiaochen felt very helpless.

In her previous life, she had almost no experience in dealing with children.

She is the youngest child in the family and the only girl. She has always been the most favored one.

Because of her frail body and introverted and withdrawn personality, children almost never come close to her.

Shen Qiaochen's forehead twitched, then he broke into a gentle smile and tried to separate the young pendant from his body.

But no matter how hard she tried, the sixth princess still held onto Shen Qiaochen's sleeve tightly and looked at her with her big round eyes.

In public, the other party was a princess. In the end, Shen Qiaochen had no choice but to stare at the little cousin who was hanging on her.

This scene made the princesses sitting around burst into laughter.

"Are you the Shen family's medicine jar?"
