Chapter 185: Chapter 151: Two Big Slaps

Now, the dangerous person has become herself, she must avoid this flag!

The Empress saw Shen Jingxian’s serious face, and although she couldn’t quite understand why Shen Jingxian said so, she instinctively chose to believe her daughter.

“Alright, then mother will change it for you.”

The Empress spoke with great confidence, but being born in a wealthy family, she never did those complex hairstyles herself, and the only one she could do was taught by her own mother.

Thus, after fiddling for a while, the Empress realized she did not have the talent for creating hairstyles and chose to give up on the spot.

“No worries, my Er Ya looks good even like this, go play!”

The Empress patted Shen Jingxian’s shoulder with a confident face.

Shen Jingxian: …

Then I’m off.

Shen Jingxian obediently waved to the Empress, and with the 108 hidden guards from the shadows, she left the palace.

There are many gates to leave the Imperial Palace, but fortunately, each gate had different names. For example, Fu Xuan was at the West Gate, so Shen Jingxian wouldn’t go to the wrong gate and not find him.

Fu Xuan had arrived early, ever since leaving that day, his multiple requests to enter the palace were rejected. He thought he didn’t do well that day and was thus abandoned by the Empress, but surprisingly, fortune didn’t completely forsake him, for today he could actually go out and play with the princess sister!

Hearing such news, how could he sleep peacefully? From last night, he was too excited, wishing he could immediately rush to the palace to gently wake the princess sister, then assist her in washing and getting up.

The thought of the princess sister opening her confused eyes, and calling him Fu Xuan with a still groggy voice…

“Fu Xuan?” Shen Jingxian approached Fu Xuan, only to find him with an alluring face, thinking about who knows what, with hair tucked behind his ear, a diamond earring glistening seductively.

Clearly, he looked like a charmingly roguish young man, but unfortunately, he seemed to be frozen, not responding no matter how she called.

This child, could he have been waiting so long that he’s gone silly?

Fu Xuan broke out of his imagination, and Shen Jingxian’s stunning visage entered his eyes.

Shen Jingxian’s hair was unbound, left to its wildness, her eyes like pools of dark jade under a shroud of chilly mist, carrying a faint air of bewilderment.

Seeing that Fu Xuan seemed to have come to, she called again, “Fu Xuan, are you okay?”

The weather shouldn’t be hot enough to cause heatstroke.

Fu Xuan blinked, suddenly hooked his lips into a smile, leaned towards Shen Jingxian, and locked eyes with her, “Is sister concerned about me?”

His voice was husky, carrying an inexplicable allure, his warm breath seemed to be scraping over every inch of skin, “Sister made Fu Xuan wait well.”

He looked at Shen Jingxian fixedly, trying to discern shyness from her face, but instead of finding shyness, he felt overwhelmed by how her skin was fairer than snow, her eyes like limpid spring water, her beauty complete with a soft glow like a luminous pearl or a finely polished jade.

Staring at the princess’s face, Fu Xuan felt a rising bashfulness in himself.

Initially wanting to conquer the princess with macho bravado, he unconsciously retreated a step, his sharp gaze softened, and he looked at Shen Jingxian with an aggrieved expression, as if wronged.

Double reversal.

Shen Jingxian: ?

She was slightly stunned by Fu Xuan’s aggrieved look, could he be this upset? Perhaps, maybe, potentially, indeed, she and the Empress had spent too much time because of the hairstyle.

So Shen Jingxian politely apologized, “Sorry.”

Fu Xuan never expected the princess to respond like this, the words he prepared were left hanging as the apology rendered them unnecessary, so he had to leave it at that.

He adjusted his expression and said to Shen Jingxian, “Your Highness doesn’t need to apologize to anyone.”

Shen Jingxian nodded in agreement, “You’re right.”

Fu Xuan: …

Fu Xuan felt he might have rushed things today, which annoyed the princess, making her dismissive towards him.

He was about to say something to salvage the situation when he noticed Shen Jingxian’s forehead and face were a bit red.

Having mingled in social circles for years, though he stayed true to himself, he had seen plenty. This looked as if someone…

Who could it be?

Could it be Wen Ranchen?

Have Wen Ranchen and sister already expressed their feelings? Was it voluntary on the sister’s part or was Wen Ranchen forceful?

Where were Yi Fen Palace’s guards? The hidden guards? How could they watch Wen Ranchen be rude to sister?

Or was this implicitly allowed, after all, sister said Wen Ranchen and she were engaged.

Then what am I?

What was the Empress’s intention in summoning him today?

The more Fu Xuan thought, the more his heart chilled.

Perhaps noticing his unusual expression, Shen Jingxian asked again, “Fu Xuan, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Fu Xuan barely managed to control the violent storm within, forcing a smile, “Fu Xuan is not unwell. Actually, sister, you must have been busy today.”

Dealing with Wen Ranchen and him, no wonder she didn’t even have time to do her hair, though even with her hair down, sister looked beautiful.

Shen Jingxian detected something strange in Fu Xuan’s tone, but she’s not a mind reader and couldn’t guess the twists in his thoughts, so she just sighed and answered honestly, “Hmm, not too bad, just got up too early. Mother insisted I go out to play. When I refused, she hit me.”

Fu Xuan’s attention instantly shifted, the Empress… how could the Empress hit the princess!! The Empress loved the princess so dearly…

“Sister, how are you feeling, are you uncomfortable?” Fu Xuan asked anxiously, if he could he would have carried the princess for a hundred miles sprint to get her to the Divine Doctor immediately.

But Shen Jingxian, completely unbothered, rubbed her forehead and said nonchalantly, “I’m fine, just my forehead’s a bit red, looks a bit odd.”

Hearing this, Fu Xuan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, “No, sister looks good no matter what.”

“True, Mother says so too.”
