Chapter 1468: Acting Truly

Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Marquis of Northern Zhen’s Estate, Princess Hui An and Su Xuan spent an indescribable wedding night and slept until late in the morning. She was going to be late to the palace to greet the two empress dowagers.

Princess Hui An panicked. “Oh no! I have to enter the palace to pay my respects to the two mothers! It’s all my fault. I overslept! If I had known… If I had known, I would have…”

The words that came out of her mouth stopped.

Shameful images involuntarily flashed across her mind, and her face turned red.

Su Xuan’s slender fingers gently caressed her red lips. “What would you have done?”

Princess Hui An lowered her eyes shyly, not daring to meet his gaze. His burning gaze would melt her.

“Ah Xuan, you’ve become bad.”

She whispered.

Su Xuan’s lips curled up. “Princess, are you afraid of Ah Xuan when I’m like this?”

Princess Hui An shook her head.

Su Xuan pressed forward step by step. “Ah Xuan wants to hear it from Princess Hui An.”

Princess Hui An knew that he was teasing her, but she still could not resist his bewitchment.

Her face was so red that it was about to bleed. She bit her lip and said, “I like anything about Ah Xuan.”

Su Xuan’s eyes darkened. “Princess, you’ll spoil Ah Xuan like this.”

Princess Hui An asked, “What will happen if you’re spoiled?”

Su Xuan said, “I will do many things that the princess doesn’t want to do.”

Princess Hui An said in a daze, “What is it?”

Su Xuan said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Like last night.”

Princess Hui An blushed again and said in a low voice, “About that… I wanted to…”

“Yes?”

Su Xuan pretended not to hear her.

Princess Hui An took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “I… want to be with Ah Xuan. I want to be a real husband and wife with Ah Xuan. I want to be with Ah Xuan… Oh—”

Su Xuan kissed her lips and pressed her against him, bringing her to a new round of oblivion.

–

At the Imperial Palace, Saint Empress Dowager had sent someone to invite Empress Dowager Jing early in the morning.

Empress Dowager Jing yawned and entered the Kangshou Palace listlessly.

“Greetings to the Empress.”

She curtsied perfunctorily.

The palace servants were shocked.

The Saint Empress Dowager sighed and said seriously, “I’m already the Empress Dowager like you.”

Empress Dowager Jing woke up from a dream.

She was in a daze and had forgotten that the late emperor had already pa.s.sed away. She still thought that she was Consort Xian.

Then she wouldn’t have to bow to the empress anymore.

Hehe.

Wait, she was already the Empress Dowager. Why couldn’t she sleep in?

She looked at the Saint Empress Dowager in extreme shock. “Have I been deposed?”

The Saint Empress Dowager were speechless.

The Saint Empress Dowager said, “You’re the emperor’s biological mother. No one can depose you.”

Empress Dowager Jing thought for a moment and became even more frustrated. “Then my son has been deposed?”

The Saint Empress Dowager simply ignored her.

How did Consort Xian fight her way out of the palace battle back then?

It was really a blessing to have a wise son like the emperor.

Forget it. Hui An had taken after her.

Empress Dowager Jing had not been stupid since she was young. She had methods.

However, after fighting for so many years, it was not easy for her to become the Empress Dowager. She no longer had to live on tenterhooks. Who wouldn’t be willing to lie flat?

The Saint Empress Dowager said, “Jingning and Hui An are getting married. Today, we have to bring the Prince Consorts into the palace to pay their respects.”

So that was it.

Empress Dowager Jing relaxed and walked to the side of the Saint Empress Dowager to sit down. “They can just greet Sister. Why did you call me?”

The Saint Empress Dowager said seriously, “You’re also the Empress Dowager. You can’t abandon your courtesy.”

Empress Dowager Jing was extremely resentful. “If I had known that it was so troublesome to be an empress dowager, I wouldn’t have become one!”

The palace servants covered their mouths and snickered.

Back then, when His Majesty conferred the t.i.tles of two empress dowagers at the same time, the palace servants were secretly waiting for the two of them to fight to the death. Unexpectedly, the two empress dowagers were each more zen than the other.

Not to mention a palace battle, even the two of them could not even work up a quibble.

Empress Dowager Jing fell asleep on the chaise longue.

The Saint Empress Dowager sighed helplessly and asked the palace servant to bring a thin blanket to cover her.

At seven o’clock, the sky was bright.

A carriage from the Princess’s Manor drove into the palace.

Xiao Zhonghua thoughtfully arranged a palanquin for his two sisters to avoid the pain of walking.

The palanquin stopped outside the Kangshou Palace. The palace servant reported, “Princess Jingning and Scholar Shen request an audience—”

“Jingning and the Prince Consort are here.”

The Saint Empress Dowager Jing woke up.

Empress Dowager Jing reluctantly started today’s business.

It was completely within the expectations of the two empress dowagers that Princess Jingning and Shen Chuan would come first.

The newlyweds kowtowed to the two empress dowagers and followed the marriage customs of the Great Zhou to serve tea to them.

Empress Dowager Jing was overjoyed and rewarded the two of them with a lot of things. “Jingning, you’re already so big in the blink of an eye. You’re already Prince Consort Shang. Shen Chuan, you have to treat Jingning well. You’re not allowed to bully her and don’t fool around outside, understand?”

Shen Chuan cupped his hands. “I will remember the Empress Dowager’s teachings.”

Empress Dowager Jing said, “You still call me Empress Dowager? Call me Mother!”

Shen Chuan looked flattered. “Yes, Mother.”

Princess Jingning glanced at Shen Chuan.

He was really good at pretending and looked refined. Who would have thought that there was actually a bear’s heart and leopard’s guts hidden inside?

Last night… he actually dared to offend her like that last night…

“Jingning, what are you thinking about?”

The Saint Empress Dowager asked.

She was her biological daughter after all. She could tell at first glance that her daughter was different from before.

When Empress Dowager Jing heard this, she looked at Jingning again.

It was fine if she didn’t look, but when she saw it, she burst out laughing. “Jingning, your face is red. Are you thinking about the Consort?”

Shen Chuan was embarra.s.sed.

Princess Jingning’s long eyelashes trembled as she said calmly, “I’m thinking about Hui An. Isn’t she here yet?”

She cleverly turned the blame away.

Empress Dowager Jing waved her hand lazily. “There’s no need to wait. She hasn’t even come at this hour. She probably won’t be able to come today. I know my daughter best. With a husband, how can she still have me in her heart?”

“Ahem.”

The Saint Empress Dowager cleared their throat. “She’s your daughter after all. Save some face for your biological daughter.”

“Does she have this thing?”

Empress Dowager Jing knew her limits. Her daughter had exchanged her beauty with her brain. Ever since she was young, she had never won a battle with Jingning.

She had long lost all her face.

It didn’t matter.

Her son became emperor.

So be it. In the future, she would worry about the Consort, not her.

Princess Jingning stood up and said seriously, “Mothers, it’s getting late. Jingning and the Prince Consort won’t disturb your peace. We’ll enter the palace another day to greet you.”

The Saint Empress Dowager’s eyes moved. “Got it. Go back.”

Princess Jingning bowed. “I’ll take my leave.”

Seeing her firm att.i.tude, Shen Chuan could only cup his hands and leave.

Even after the two of them left the bedroom, the Saint Empress Dowager did not retract their gaze from the door.

Empress Dowager Jing sighed. “If you want to keep your daughter, just say so. Why do you have to keep holding back?”

The Saint Empress Dowager were sometimes envious of Empress Dowager Jing. She had been a loved concubine for her entire life and did whatever she wanted. She never placed anything in her heart.

As for her, ever since she sat in the empress’s chair, she had been shackled by her status as the empress for her entire life.

Seeing that she was deep in thought, Empress Dowager Jing comforted her. “Alright, don’t worry. With my many years of experience fighting for favor in the harem, the two of them are in it for the real.”

After Consort Xian became the empress dowager, she was too lazy to fight in the palace. It was not like she did not know how to fight in the palace. Her many years of achievements could be checked, and her ability to read someone from their body language was definitely top-notch.

Princess Jingning had been controlled by Empress Dowager Jing her entire life. She was unwilling to let the marriage be controlled by her biological mother. She chose Shen Chuan as her husband in a fit of pique.

However, she did not expect Shen Chuan to be so bold that he even dared to touch Jingning.

You can’t judge a book by its cover!

The Saint Empress Dowager closed his eyes. “She used the rest of her life to be angry with me. I only hope that she won’t regret it in the future.”

After the two of them got into the carriage, Princess Jingning stopped pretending to be calm and asked with a dark expression, “How dare you last night… How dare you…”

Shen Chuan looked innocent. “Princess Jingning said that I can stay on the 1st and 15th.”

Princess Jingning gritted her teeth. “I only asked you to stay for dinner!”

Shen Chuan said, “The princess is delicious.”

Princess Jingning was speechless.

On the way back, the two of them met Su Xuan and Princess Hui An, who had entered the palace to pay their respects.

Princess Hui An’s face was filled with shyness. Su Xuan looked jubilant. He was a newlywed, making others envious.

Princess Hui An leaned against the window and asked Princess Jingning, who was in the carriage opposite, “Jingning, did you…”

Princess Jingning said, “Shut up!”

Princess Hui An raised her eyebrows meaningfully. “Oh ~”

She turned around and threw herself into Su Xuan’s arms. “Ah Xuan, she was fierce to me!”

Princess Jingning couldn’t bear to look at this useless sister!

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw a slender hand on her shoulder.

“What are you doing?”

She asked solemnly.

Shen Chuan said righteously, “What others have, my wife has too. There’s no need to be envious.”

Princess Jingning was speechless.
