Chapter 230 Test
Chapter 230 Test
The term "concubine" sounds nice, but in fact she is just a concubine. As the Crown Prince's wife, Shen Tang is not required to serve tea to her. However, Concubine Jiang is the prince's cousin and Xie Guimo's aunt, so she is an elder, so it is a different matter.
When the old lady passed away, the prince was still young. When the old prince went to the border to fight, he entrusted the prince to the Jiang family for care. Later, when the prince grew up, the old prince took him with him when he went to the border. The Jiang family was grateful for taking care of the prince. In addition, the prince believed that the incident that year was caused by his drunkenness, and he felt guilty towards Concubine Jiang, so he turned a blind eye to Concubine Jiang's inappropriate behavior.
But even if the prince indulges him, Xie Guimo will not.
It is precisely because of the prince's indulgence of Concubine Jiang that the relationship between Xie Guimo and the prince is not so good.
When Xie Guimo is around, Concubine Jiang has to be much more low-key.
Shen Tang offered tea to Concubine Jiang. Concubine Jiang had a calm expression and gave her a jade pendant as a greeting gift. After offering tea to Concubine Jiang, he then offered tea to the Second Master and the Second Mistress, then the Third Master and the Third Mistress, and finally the Fourth Master and the Fourth Mistress.
They all gave gifts when they met.
After meeting the elders, the peers came over and said hello.
Shen Tang responded one by one.
The prince still had some matters to attend to in the army, so he said, "Now that we have served tea, let's all go."
The second and third masters left with the prince.
Xie Guimo said, "Nothing, I'll take Tang'er back."
Shen Tangfu took his leave and left Wutong Courtyard with Xie Guimo.
Xie Guimo kept holding Shen Tang's hand. Shen Tang asked, "Isn't it hot?"
Her hands were sweating from shaking.
Xie Guimo said, "You'll get used to it."
As they walked forward, Xie Guimo asked, "It's not that hot yet. Do you want me to walk around with you?"
Shen Tang shook his head decisively.
She had stayed in the Jingyang Palace for four years and was familiar with every corner. She didn't need Xie Guimo to accompany her to familiarize herself with it. It would be fine if she just wanted to take a walk, but she had her period on, so it was not very convenient.
Shen Tang said, "Let's go back."
Xie Guimo agreed to her request.
The two of them walked towards Chenxiangxuan, talking and laughing.
The princess behind him saw this scene, but her brows were furrowed.
Nanny Yun also looked worried.
The way the Crown Princess walks doesn't look like she's consummated her marriage at all. Could it be that the Crown Prince really...
The princess raised her hand to her forehead and said, "I feel very dizzy. Please ask the imperial physician to come to the palace to take my pulse."
Nanny Yun immediately understood and said, "Doctor Du from the Imperial Hospital is said to be good at that. Why don't we invite him into the mansion?"
"Please ask Doctor Du."
Nanny Yun asked the maid to pass on the message, and she accompanied the princess back to the courtyard.
Xie Guimo and Shen Tang strolled back to Chenxiangxuan. However, when Xie Guimo and Shen Tang returned, they wanted to go into the house, but Shen Tang stopped them and said, "Go to the study and read."
Xie Guimo said, "No, we're newlyweds, and the books are not as good as you."
This bastard, he couldn't utter a single corny word in three years of his previous life, but in this life he just opens his mouth and says it.
Shen Tang couldn't resist it, so she said, "Then come back later..."
Xie Guimo looked at Shen Tang in confusion, "Why don't you let me in?"
Of course it’s because it’s inconvenient.
Shen Tang blushed and said, "I want to change clothes."
Xie Guimo thought it was something else, he leaned over to Shen Tang's ear and said, "It's just right for your husband to help your wife change her clothes."
A warm breath touched her neck. Shen Tang was really afraid that he would do it for real, so she quickly went into the house and closed the door.
Xie Guimo, "..."
The maid in the yard, "..."
The Crown Prince and his wife just came back from serving tea, and they were still very affectionate with each other, but now they have fallen out just as we were about to take a step forward?
The Crown Prince's wife has such a bad temper. She just got married and she dared to lock the Crown Prince outside the door. Isn't she afraid that the Crown Prince will be angry?
Xie Guimo pushed the door and found it was locked. As for changing clothes, she still avoided him. This gentleman had nowhere to go, so he could only go to the study.
Shen Tang changed into a dress before Ginkgo went to open the door. Shen Tang drank a cup of tea. Xie Guimo had not come back yet. Shen Tang had nothing to do, so she went to the study to find him.
Seeing Xie Guimo reading, Shen Tang didn't want to disturb him, so he didn't go forward and turned to leave. As a result, when he turned around, Xie Guimo's voice came, "Come here."
Shen Tang turned around and looked at him, "You read, I won't disturb you."
Xie Guimo said helplessly, "If the emperor knew that I finally married you, and that on the second day after the wedding, after serving tea, you plunged into the study and read so much that you forgot to eat and sleep, you must make me the top scholar."
Shen Tang, "..."
Shen Tang walked over, and Xie Guimo stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Tang in his arms. Fortunately, Ginkgo Qiutong was smart and had already gone out when Xie Guimo called Shen Tang, and even closed the door considerately.
Shen Tang struggled, and Xie Guimo said, "Just read with me."
Shen Tang asked, "Are you sure you can see through it like this?"
Xie Guimo said, "This is a test that your husband gives himself."
...nothing to say.
Shen Tang also wanted to know if he could withstand the test.
After just half a cup of tea, the guy's breathing became tight. He coughed dryly and said, "Tea."
Shen Tang saw through it but didn't say anything. While serving him tea, he quickly moved away.
Shen Tang was about to return to his room. Just as he opened the door, a maid came over and said, "Master and Consort, the princess suddenly felt dizzy. I don't know what happened. I sent someone to call the imperial physician..."
Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat. She looked back and saw Xie Guimo approaching. Shen Tang said, "When serving tea, I noticed that Mother was a little absent-minded. Could it be that she was feeling unwell at that time?"
Xie Guimo said, "Mother has always been in good health, why did she suddenly feel dizzy? Let's go and take a look."
The two left the study and went to the Peony Courtyard where the princess lived.
From a distance, I saw the steward leading the imperial physician into the yard. When they entered, the imperial physician was taking the princess's pulse.
To avoid disturbing the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis, neither Shen Tang nor Xie Guimo spoke. After the imperial physician withdrew, Xie Guimo asked, "What happened to my mother?"
Doctor Du said, "The princess has been tired these days. She will be fine after taking some medicine and resting for a few days."
Nanny Yun asked Doctor Du to come over and write a prescription.
Xie Guimo said, "I'm sorry to have troubled Mother."
The princess shook her head. "I'm so happy to see you marry the Crown Prince's wife soon. It was hot yesterday and I was out in the sun all day. I don't know if you got a heat stroke. Imperial Physician Du is here, so I asked him to check your and the Crown Prince's wife's pulses."
Xie Guimo said, "My son is not that fragile, there is no need to check his pulse."
"It's better to take a look," the princess' voice was filled with anxiety.
Xie Guimo frowned again and again.
It was a bit hot yesterday, but he is a martial artist, and if he couldn't stand being in the sun for a while longer, he would be too weak.
Why does his mother insist that he see the imperial physician?
Not only did she want him to look at it, Nanny Yun also waved her hand and sent all the maids and old women away.
Shen Tang also sensed something was wrong. She looked at Xie Guimo, then at the princess. Doctor Du came over and said, "The prince is still young. Don't be afraid to seek medical treatment."
Xie Guimo, “…???”
Shen Tang, “…???”
The princess said, "Doctor Du is a highly skilled doctor. Even if there's a problem, he can cure it."
Xie Guimo said with a dark face, "I'm not sick, and I'm not afraid to see a doctor. Why does mother insist that I see the imperial physician?"
The princess opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't utter a single word.
Finally, it was Nanny Yun who said with an embarrassed face, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess consummated their marriage last night, but the maid on night watch didn't hear anything..."
Xie Guimo frowned at first, but when he realized that the words behind it were doubts about his ability, his face turned green.
Shen Tang wanted to pretend to be dead.
The princess said, "Doctor Du is good at..."
Xie Guimo was furious, "There's no movement because we didn't consummate our marriage last night!"
