Chapter 663: The Look of Disappointment

Chapter 663: The Look of Disappointment

Shen Xia had never been to an occasion like a palace banquet before, so it was naturally difficult for her to predict the various unexpected events that might occur.

Noticing the concern in Song Jin's eyes, she quickly comforted him, "Brother, don't worry! I am your Majesty's biological cousin, and I don't think anything will go wrong."

Shen Xia wasn't actually sure about this sort of thing, but in order not to make everyone worry, she could only say this.

Song Jin felt a little relieved and replied softly, "Yeah."

At this time, Song's mother also looked worried. She grew up in the countryside and knew little about the famous families in the capital. Many related matters were heard from Nanny Mo.

Whenever she recalled the tragic experiences that Nanny Mo's family had gone through, Mother Song couldn't help but feel a little worried about the royal family.

Shen Xia noticed the worry on Song's mother's face, and couldn't help but turn around and complain to Song Jin: "Look at you, you made mother worried too. In fact, you don't have to be like this. I'm not stupid. After entering the palace, I will be cautious and low-key. It's better to listen less, talk less, and do less. Just do your duty and you'll be safe."

The two then remembered Shen Xia's intelligence and thought that everything should be fine.

After dinner, Song Jin and Shen Xia returned to their room.

Shen took out several clock cores of different sizes.

Place it on the table.

No batteries were installed.

He knew this time.

It was the first time that Song Jin had seen such a big core, because Shen Xia always put a very small one next to her bed.

Even the one placed in the main hall of the old house was not as big as this one. It was just placed on top of the cabinet.

Shen Xia thought that this was to be placed on the ground, so he took a larger core.

I also found a lot of pictures and drew many styles, which can be placed on the ground or hung on the wall.

Because it was going to be shown to the carpenter, Shen Xia did not use the original picture directly, but re-drew it himself.

Song Jin looked at the drawings and said, "Xia Xia is really good at everything!"

"Where? This was a piece of cake in our time."

Song Jin looked at the drawings one by one. Some were placed on the ground, some were hung on the wall, and some were placed beside the bed.

No matter where you put it, there are many styles.

Song Jin curled the corners of his mouth. This was a constant source of money!

"I have started looking for a carpenter with good skills. There is a yard behind the shop that can be used as a workshop." Song Jin talked about the situation of the shop.

"Well, yes, we can pay the workers a higher salary."

Song Jin nodded: "I know, you said that good treatment will only make them work harder, because they are worried that once they lose such good treatment, they will never find it again."

"Well, this can be paid by piecework."

"Okay, I'll figure out the price then."

Shen Xia nodded: "No problem."

"By the way, are you free tomorrow? Do you want to go and take a look? Do you have any suggestions on the decoration?"

Shen Xia shook his head: "I don't have any objection. Third brother, you are very capable now, so you can arrange this little thing very well."

"Then I won't let you worry about it."

The two of them took a nap together at noon.

In the afternoon, Song Jin went to find someone to arrange the decoration.

Since Song Yun is in office, Yan Yi has less things to do.

Yan Yi came from the old house, so after Song Jin returned to Beijing, Yan Yi followed Song Jin.

Shen Xia cleaned herself up.

Let Jixiang put on a light makeup like a lotus emerging from the water.

After all, it's a palace banquet, so it can't be too plain.

Just when Shen Xia finished painting.

Just then I heard Gu Ziyan's voice at the gate of the yard.

Shen Xia glanced at Ruyi, and Ruyi hurried out to invite him in.

Gu Ziyan saw Shen Xia also putting on makeup.

"Wow, my sister is already very beautiful without makeup. I didn't expect that she would be so eye-catching with just a little bit of makeup."

Shen Xia looked at Gu Ziyan's face and also put on some light makeup: "Sister, are you talking about yourself?"

Gu Ziyan touched her face gently.

"Earlier in the store, I said I would attend a palace banquet in the afternoon, and Su Yao drew it for me. It's okay! Is it too exaggerated?"

Shen Xia shook her head: "It looks good and suits you very well. A woman should dress herself up beautifully to let those bastard men know that she can live well even without him."

Gu Ziyan couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard Shen Xia's words "dog man": "Yes, sister is right."

Shen Xia cleaned it up in two moves.

Gu Ziyan asked, "Is the Princess going?"

Shen Xia shook her head: "Madame Gui came over and said that mother is not going."

"Ah!" Gu Ziyan was a little worried, because Xia Xia had beaten Mrs. Qin that day!

That's the imperial concubine's biological mother, so Gu Ziyan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Of course Shen Xia could see Gu Ziyan's worry: "Don't worry, sister, I'm fine."

In fact, Shen Xia knew what was going on. If she hadn't had to get the results for Gu Yichen today, she really didn't want to enter the palace.

She didn't believe that Mrs. Qin would just let it go like this.

The two of them packed up.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon.

The two of them went out together.

You can't go too early, otherwise the chats in the harem will take a long time, and when all the women get together it will be a big Shura scene!

As a result, just as Shen Xia and Gu Ziyan walked to the door, they saw the servant of the Gu Mansion coming over: "Miss, the princess and the prince's wife are waiting for you at the door."

Gu Ziyan glanced at Shen Xia.

Shen Xia nodded: "It's okay, I can do it alone, you and Princess Rui can go together!"

Gu Ziyan nodded: "Okay."

The two of them went out together. Although their houses were next to each other, they still had to walk some distance to get to the front door.

Shen Xia let Gu Ziyan ride in her carriage so that she could walk less.

When they arrived at the gate of Gu Mansion, Gu Ziyan went downstairs with her maid.

Shen Xia only brought Jixiang out and left Ruyi in the yard.

If it weren't for Princess Rui, she could actually be with the Crown Prince's Consort, Sister Gu.

But because of Princess Rui, the two of them didn't get along at all, so she didn't go looking for the one who made her unhappy.

It’s better to be alone!

So as not to affect your mood!

As soon as Gu Ziyan got on the carriage, she saw that only her second brother's wife and her mother were in the carriage.

Gu Ziyan first greeted her mother: "Hello, mother."

Princess Rui nodded: "Yes! Come up!"

After Gu Ziyan got on the carriage, she sat down.

The carriage began to move.

Princess Rui saw that Gu Ziyan seemed to be full of energy and spirit.

"You promised!"

Fang Huayi next to her didn't know what her mother-in-law meant.

But Gu Ziyan understood.

These past few days, Zheng Jinshu came to the mansion as usual and brought a lot of interesting things to Mo Yan.

He didn't ask himself again.

So she is still hesitating.

He replied: "No."

Princess Rui frowned when she heard the word "no" and said, "Such a good marriage, but you haven't agreed yet. Are you not in your right mind after the divorce?"

Princess Rui looked at Gu Ziyan with a look of disappointment on her face.
