The scheming empress starts by conquering men

He frowned in embarrassment and hesitated for a while.

She seemed to be considering whether to tell him.

Until Shao Jincong became impatient; "What truth, what do you want to say, if you don't tell me, I'll leave."

He then sighed and warned him.

"Brother, be careful of the person beside you. I sneaked into the palace that day and found a painting. The person in the painting was the man that the prince loved. He looked about 70% similar to you, but the man was not you, brother. There were even two lines of poetry written on the painting."

Shao Jincong's heart skipped a beat. His intuition told him not to believe it, but a voice in his heart told him that he wanted to hear it.

I thought so in my heart, but I said, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I can feel whether Your Highness is sincere to me or not."

He pushed Shao Yujie away and headed towards his own courtyard.

Shao Yujie staggered after being pushed, but he was not angry and spoke to him from behind.

"This feeling can be recalled, but it was gone at that time." He looked at Shao Jincong's stopped steps and said, "This is what the Sixth Prince said to that man, and that man was not you."

"You're just a stand-in. The person she likes is not you at all."

He watched Shao Jincong's body tremble, his steps become disorderly, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face. He no longer paid attention to Shao Jincong and left in the opposite direction.

Shao Jincong's ears were buzzing, his face turned pale, and he shook his head secretly.

It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Your Highness would never treat him like this.

He kept telling himself not to believe it, but he knew that no matter how talented Shao Yujie was, he could not write such a meaningful poem.

He must have peeked at it, so he peeked at it from His Highness.

Shao Jincong's grip on the lunch box became tighter and tighter, and veins appeared all over the back of his bony hands.

He turned and walked towards the villa, wanting to see the painting that Shao Yujie mentioned, to see if it was true as he said, that he was being treated as a substitute.

However, when Shao Jincong arrived at the gate of the villa, thinking about everything that had happened before, he shook his head again.

"No, I shouldn't doubt Your Highness."

"Maybe Shao Yujie was wrong!"

He took the food box and turned around and left the villa again.

But Shao Jincong always felt uncomfortable. On the one hand, he really wanted to know whether the person in the painting was himself, or whether he looked like the person in the painting. On the other hand, he did not want to doubt His Highness.

The secret guard who followed Shao Jincong secretly saw everything.

He turned and went into the villa, and told Shaodian Sishui everything that had happened outside.

Before this, Shaodian Sishui finally got rid of Shao Jincong and asked him to go back and rest quickly.

At this moment, while practicing calligraphy by lamplight, he carefully looked at the route back to Beijing given by the empress, and thought to himself that it was exactly the same as described in the book.

The wedding party cannot go back the same way they came, because there is no turning back once you get married.

When we came here, we started from Bian Jing, went all the way west through the Shiwanda Mountains and Loulan, and arrived at Ruizhou, then walked northwest, which was equivalent to turning half a circle from bottom to left.

Now, to return to Da Zhou from the north, we have to turn right from the top and return to Bian Jing.

Only after passing through Guifang, Yuyi, Guzhu, Laiyi and Huaiyi could they reach Bianjing, and the wedding could be considered a complete success.

Therefore, they had to first pass through Guifang to reach the Yuyi Mountains, and then pass through Yuyi City, which was the place guarded by the seventh imperial sister Shaodian Ziqing.

At this time in Yuyi City, Shaodian Haolan was getting married to Yun Chemu, so they were bound to meet if they passed by there.

Zhong Aoyi was rushing to copy the jade pendant. According to the time, even if the wedding party arrived at Yuyi City and met the heroine, they might not be able to get the fake jade pendant.

Shaodian Sishui rubbed the road lightly with her fingertips, thinking carefully in secret while writing and drawing on the route.

I want to plan my route and time while practicing Shaodian Haolan's handwriting as soon as possible in case of emergency in the future.

"Your Highness, I have something important to report."

"Come in." Shaodian Sishui asked calmly without even raising his head, "What's the matter?"

The guard told Shaodian Sishui everything that happened outside.

After hearing what the guard had told her, she continued practicing calligraphy without raising her eyebrows, but a hint of impatience flashed across her eyes.

"so troublesome."

She said she didn't want to marry Shao Jincong, but Shao Chaogan insisted that her son marry her.

The night before, she had discussed with Shao Chaogan and suggested letting Shao Jincong marry the second princess, but Shao Chaogan disagreed.

They said that they were in love and should be together.

God knows that her affection was just an act. If she had known that Shao Chaogan was so easy to win over, why would she have seduced Shao Jincong?

Anyway, Shao Chaogan has already joined her, so whether Shao Jincong wants him or not is no longer of any concern to her.

There is no such thing as this bullshit love story full of misunderstandings.

Could you please stop bothering her? Her life is in danger now, so how can she have the time to play that emotional misunderstanding game with them?

The heroine has all kinds of misunderstandings because of the needs of the plot, but she is not the heroine and does not need these messy plots.

Without even raising her head, she casually took out the painting from the painting basket next to her, threw it to the guard, and continued practicing calligraphy.

"Give this painting to Shao Jincong and say it is a token of our love. I will give him a better one when we return to Bianjing."

So as not to bother her every day.

"Well, I'll go right away."

"Wait a minute."

Shaodian Sishui thought of something and tilted his head to stare at the guard.

"Go to the post station and call the palace servants to teach Shao Jincong the proper etiquette for a man in the boudoir of Bianjing."

"Remember, teach your slave to follow the rules. You don't have to be too strict. He is used to freedom. He can learn if he wants to, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to."

It's just for show for the Empress.

"Yes, I will go and invite the servants, and give the scroll to Master Shao."

The guards took the order and left.

I thought that His Highness really doted on Master Shao. I had never seen anyone else receive such honor and favor from His Highness.

Shaodian Sishui sighed and looked away.

This painting was a backup plan she had left in order to let Shao Jincong discover her love for her.

I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so smoothly that there was no need to use any back-up plan.

Now this backup plan is being used to clear up the misunderstanding, so it's worth her previous efforts and wasted so many brain cells.

As for the servant, he was not there to teach Shao Jincong anything, but was a servant sent by the empress. He should have been sent to Shao Jincong long ago, but she thought too much about it in the past few days and was afraid that the servant would teach Shao Jincong too strictly and thus hinder her plan.

For now, she doesn't want Shao Jincong to disturb her, and she doesn't have to worry about teaching too formally, so she can be casual. As for whether Shao Jincong learns or not, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, her image to the outside world is not that of a well-behaved princess.

In Shao Jincong's courtyard, he didn't say a word after he came back and looked depressed.

The servant beside him was very worried and followed him.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to His Highness?"

Shao Jincong shook his head; "It's not that His Highness is in trouble. Maybe I am really wrong this time."

"Ah?" The servant was confused. "Sir, what are you talking about?"

Shao Jincong shook his head, feeling a little annoyed.

There were some things he couldn't complain to others.

"Nothing, Xiaochun, change your clothes, I want to rest."
