Chapter 127 You are my princess!
"Your Majesty! Are we going to the palace to serve tea today?"
Shen Tangan suddenly came back to his senses. Normally, he should go to the palace to serve tea on the second day after the wedding.
But looking at the time, aren't they going to be late?
"It's okay, no need to worry."
Mu Chenye supported her, his eyes gentle.
"It's just serving tea, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later, don't get excited."
After hearing what Mu Chenye said, Shen Tangan felt a little relieved, but he was still a little worried.
"But it's always bad if you're late."
Mu Chenye smiled gently and took her into his arms.
"Don't worry, I'm here. No one will blame you even if you're late."
Shen Tangan leaned in his arms, feeling his warmth and peace of mind. Gradually, her nervousness dissipated a lot.
After they tidied themselves up a bit, they got on the carriage and drove towards the palace.
Inside the carriage, Mu Chenye held Shen Tangan's hand tightly, as if giving her endless strength.
"We'll enter the palace later, you just need to follow me, don't be nervous." Mu Chenye said gently.
Shen Tangan nodded. Although she was nervous, she felt a little more courageous with Mu Chenye by her side.
Finally, the carriage arrived at the palace.
They slowly got off the carriage and walked towards the palace under the guidance of the palace servants.
Along the way, Shen Tangan felt a lot of emotions in her heart. Her identity was different when she entered the palace again.
The two went to the Empress Dowager's palace first. After all, Mu Chenye was of noble status and was the emperor's brother in terms of seniority, so he only needed to take her to meet the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager's Cining Palace was solemn and dignified. It was not the first time Shen Tangan came here, but it was the first time she set foot here as the Princess of Chen.
The Queen Mother sat at the head of the table, her face kind yet dignified.
Mu Chenye and Shen Tangan bowed respectfully.
"Your son and the princess come to see the queen mother."
"Get up, today you are getting married, and I am happy to see you getting married."
The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly, motioning for them to stand up.
She didn't ask why they were late, but glanced at the maid who was serving tea.
The maid immediately came forward, and Mu Chenye and Shen Tangan took the tea and served it together.
"Please have some tea, mother."
The Queen Mother took the teacup, took a sip, and a look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
"Yes, that's right. In the future, you two should support each other and expand the royal family."
Shen Tangan blushed and replied, "I will follow my mother's instructions."
Mu Chenye also nodded slightly, "I will definitely work hand in hand with the princess and live up to the expectations of my mother."
The Queen Mother looked at them with a relieved smile on her face.
"I believe in you. Now that you are married, you still have a long time to live together. You must learn to cherish each other."
They chatted with the Queen Mother for a while, and she asked about their arrangements for life after marriage and their plans for the future.
Mu Chenye responded calmly, while Shen Tangan listened quietly on the side, occasionally interjecting a few words, showing his gentleness and intelligence.
After serving tea, the Queen Mother rewarded them with some precious jewelry and silks.
After expressing their gratitude, Mu Chenye and Shen Tangan were about to leave.
The Queen Mother suddenly said, "You are now husband and wife. You must always remember your identities and responsibilities. The glory of the royal family needs you to protect together."
Mu Chenye and Shen Tangan bowed respectfully again.
"My sons, please remember your mother's teachings."
Then they slowly left the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.
After walking out of the palace, Shen Tangan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was really nervous just now."
Mu Chenye looked at her with a smile.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here."
"Can we go home now?"
Shen Tangan looked up and smiled at him. Although she had only paid a visit to the Queen Mother, she already felt a little tired.
"I also need to go and pay my respects to my brother the Emperor."
Mu Chenye frowned slightly, feeling a little sorry for Shen Tangan's fatigue, but he also knew that it was necessary to pay respect to the emperor when entering the palace. He said softly, "Tangan, hold on a little longer, it will be fine soon."
Shen Tangan nodded obediently and tried to cheer himself up.
Led by the palace servants, they walked towards the palace where the emperor was.
Along the way, Shen Tangan endured the discomfort of his body, but secretly lamented the numerous rules of the royal family.
Coming to the emperor's palace, the atmosphere here is even more magnificent and majestic.
Shen Tangan couldn't help but get nervous again, Mu Chenye held her hand tightly, giving her strength. They saluted respectfully to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I and the princess are here to see you."
The emperor raised his hand slightly, motioning them to stand up.
"No need to be polite. Today is your wedding day, and I am happy for you."
The emperor's gaze fell on Shen Tangan, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Shen Tangan quickly lowered his head, feeling uneasy.
Mu Chenye said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's teachings will be remembered by me and the princess, and we will do our best for the royal family."
The emperor nodded slightly, said a few words of congratulations, and gave many rewards.
Mu Chenye responded calmly, and Shen Tangan echoed him at the right time, showing his dignity and propriety.
After the audience, they left the emperor's palace.
Shen Tangan finally breathed a sigh of relief, a look of fatigue appearing on his face.
Mu Chenye felt so distressed that he quickly took her to the carriage and prepared to return home.
In the carriage, Shen Tangan leaned in Mu Chenye's arms and slowly closed his eyes.
Mu Chenye stroked her hair gently, his eyes full of doting and tenderness.
"Could it be that you felt tired just now because you were pregnant?"
"Maybe, but it's much better now. I don't have morning sickness like I did at the beginning."
Shen Tangan leaned in his arms, his eyes slightly closed.
Suddenly I thought of something important and opened my eyes to look at him.
"My Lord, besides offering tea, aren't we also required to present a red handkerchief when entering the palace?"
She is already three months pregnant, how could she have a miscarriage?
"I have already ordered someone to hand it over."
Mu Chenye lowered his eyes and smiled, then tucked the loose hair behind her ears.
"Don't worry about such trivial matters. I will take care of everything."
Shen Tangan was naturally very moved after hearing Mu Chenye's words, and felt like someone was supporting her.
She snuggled tightly in Mu Chenye's arms, feeling his warmth and care.
The carriage was moving slowly on the way back to the palace, and there was silence inside.
Shen Tangan's thoughts gradually drifted away. Recalling every detail of his acquaintance and friendship with Mu Chenye, his heart was filled with happiness and sweetness.
"My Lord, it's great to have you here."
Shen Tangan said softly.
Mu Chenye looked down at her, his eyes full of love.
"You are my princess, I will protect you."
After returning to the palace, Shen Tangan felt tired.
Mu Chenye carefully helped her back to the room and let her lie on the bed to rest.
"Have a good sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be fine."
Mu Chenye said gently and covered her with a blanket.
Shen Tangan nodded, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Mu Chenye sat beside the bed, quietly looking at Shen Tangan's sleeping face, his heart filled with tenderness.
He secretly vowed to let Shen Tangan live a happy life and to protect her with all his strength.
