538 Face Smacking!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes.

Was this a show of authority as soon as they entered?

Just as she was about to speak up for Shen Qianhui, Jing Zhen said, “She will stay with me.”

His tone was commanding.

Yan Rushuang was slightly stunned, but she didn’t get angry. Instead, she lowered her head and gently said, “Yes, I’ll take Sister Shen to your palace right away.”

Only then was Jing Zhen satisfied. He couldn’t stay in the harem for too long, so he looked at Shen Qianhui. “You go first, I’ll be there shortly. If you need anything, just order them directly.”

As soon as he spoke, the expressions of the women present changed slightly.

Jing Zhen used the word ‘order.’

This implied that Shen Qianhui’s status was higher than the other three!

Yan Rushuang’s face quickly returned to normal, and she smiled. “Yes, we will take good care of Sister Shen!”

After Jing Zhen left, the Queen Dowager looked at the four leading ladies at the scene and smiled. “Rushuang, take Miss Shen to her residence. As for the rest of you, go do what you need to do.”

The always inconspicuous Ji Nina immediately bowed slightly and left with her servants.

But the young Luo Sha came over with a smile. “Que...no, I mean, Queen Dowager, I also want to bring Sister Shen to her residence.”

The Queen Dowager ignored her and left with her people.

Yan Rushuang said to Shen Qianhui, “Follow me.”

Shen Ruojing then supported Shen Qianhui’s arm and followed Yan Rushuang.

The huge palace was built in Gothic style, full of exotic charm. However, Shen Ruojing didn’t get to appreciate the modern palace style because Luo Sha kept chattering beside her,

“Sister Shen, has His Majesty the King been in China all these years? I saw his news reports, saying he likes acting in films? Does His Majesty have any other hobbies? Does he prefer spicy or sweet food?”

“Does His Majesty have any habits? This is my first time seeing him. I saw China’s news reports and thought His Majesty looked great on camera, but I didn’t expect him to be even more handsome in person...”

As a twenty-five years old woman, Luo Sha was originally very unwilling to be married to a nearly fifty-year-old man.

But today, when she saw Jing Zhen, her heart bloomed. She hadn’t expected the king to be so handsome! Also, he didn’t look old at all; saying that he was only thirty wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

As she spoke, Luo Sha walked over to Shen Ruojing and ordered directly, “Let me help Sister Shen, you step aside.”

Shen Ruojing glanced at her and scoffed, “No need.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Luo Sha’s servant immediately became angry. ‘Hey, our princess is talking to you! What’s with your attitude?”

Shen Ruojing furrowed her brows. “What’s wrong with my attitude?”

Luo Sha sneered. “Are you Sister Shen’s servant in China? Since you’ve come to our Country A, you must obey our palace rules. In the palace, apart from the king, queen, and princess, the status of a consort is the most respected. I am a consort, and Sister Shen’s status is not yet clear. So when you speak to me, you should show respect. Do you understand? Otherwise, I can have you executed by firing squad!”

Luo Sha was very arrogant and had an outgoing personality. She seemed like the kind of person who would charge headfirst into battle without thinking.

Shen Ruojing glanced at Yan Rushuang.

As expected, Yan Rushuang sighed softly. “Luo Sha, what are you doing? When Sister Shen was in China, she and His Majesty the King were a lifelong couple. China’s tradition is monogamy, and their relationship is very good. Although Sister Shen’s status is not yet determined, it’s different from ours. You should show her more respect.”

These words seemed to defend Shen Qianhui on the surface, but they were actually a veiled attack.

Luo Sha became even angrier and sneered. “The position of the queen is not yet settled. Who is more respected is uncertain!”

Yan Rushuang continued, “Speaking of which, none of us has given birth to a child for His Majesty. However, Sister Shen not only gave birth to his only daughter, but I also heard that she is now pregnant...”

Upon hearing this, Luo Sha immediately looked maliciously at Shen Qianhui’s abdomen.

Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes.

Although many people in China knew about Shen Qianhui’s pregnancy, the fact that Yan Rushuang heard about it so quickly indicated that she had a wide network of connections.

Yan Rushuang was the Queen Dowager’s niece and shared the same surname. The Queen Dowager must have brought her into the palace to continue the family’s glory and have her become the next queen...

As Shen Ruojing pondered, she heard Luo Sha mockingly laugh. “What does having only one daughter count for? His Majesty is already in his forties, and there is still no son to inherit the throne. What’s the big deal?”

Yan Rushuang still maintained her generous and decent demeanor. ‘Enough, let’s take Sister Shen to her residence first. She must be tired after more than five hours on the plane.”

Luo Sha changed her tactics and came to Shen Ruojing’s side again, trying to push her aside. “Sister Shen’s status is undetermined, and whether she is more or less respected than me is uncertain. But at least I can manage this servant, right? Sister Shen is pregnant, so let me help her. You should step aside!”

Shen Ruojing remained unmoved.

Luo Sha pushed her but couldn’t move her. She then tried to help Shen Qianhui, but before her hand could touch her, Shen Ruojing pushed her away.

Luo Sha seemed as clumsy as a pig. Although she wouldn’t do anything to hurt Shen Qianhui in public, Shen Ruojing didn’t understand her thought process and decided not to let her touch Shen Qianhui.

Luo Sha staggered back a few steps and finally steadied herself.

Seeing Shen Ruojing’s attitude, she became furious and shouted, “Rebellious! How dare a servant like you lay a hand on me?! Guards, take this servant away!”

Upon seeing this, Shen Qianhui immediately said, ‘No!”

Luo Sha coldly smiled. “Sister Shen, I can respect you, but it’s outrageous that a servant by your side dares to lay a hand on me!”

Shen Qianhui angrily retorted, “Who said she is a servant?!”
