But he actually took the initiative to visit himself today, Shen Youxia couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunyan, she was quite certain that her relationship with Xu Huimin was not yet at this level. Wondering if Zhu Yunyan had already taken Xu Huimin under his wing, and Xu Huimin's visit was entirely due to Rui Wang's face, or perhaps he wanted to leave a good impression on Zhu Yunyan through such behavior.

  Chu Jinpeng remained seated in his position, and although he was not enthusiastic about Xu Huamin's arrival, he did not show much annoyance either.

  Minister Xu of the Ministry of Rites was already a household name before he even returned to Xiyang City.

  The darling of the imperial court, deeply favored by the current emperor, is an object of contention among many princes who want to win him over.

  Chu Jinpeng naturally also knew the wise king in front of him, who was also one of many princes.

  He just didn't know about Shen Youxia and Xu Huaimin's past, so Chu Jinping thought the same as Shen Youxia, that Xu Huaimin came to visit Shen Youxia in order to curry favor with Zhu Yunyan.

  It's indeed the Minister of Rites, even though he was worried about Shen Youxia in his heart and urgently wanted to know how Shen Youxia's body was doing, Xu Huamin still followed the etiquette and paid respects to Zhu Yunyan, An Yihuan, and Chu Jinqing before speaking.

  "Your Highness, are you well?"

  Even with Xu Huamin's tone full of concern and gentleness, it makes one unable to say anything bad.

  Nothing could be more normal than these five words, nothing could be more normal than this greeting, yet they contained Xu Huamin's anxiety and unease of the past few days.

  "No serious problem, sorry to trouble Lord Xu with worries."

  Young Shen Youxia didn't like learning those etiquette, later because of lacking courtesy, Shen Youxia had suffered a lot, especially the current Xu Huaimin, who had impeached herself countless times for lacking the dignity that a princess should have.

  Later, Shen Youxia paid an even greater effort and a greater price to keep her every word and deed in the posture that a noblewoman should have. However, even if her etiquette became the model for Chuqin women, Shen Youxia still couldn't go back to the past, couldn't get Zhu Yunyan's heart, and ultimately lost everything as the legitimate daughter of Dingguo Houfu and the wise king's consort.

  Originally thought that she didn't want to fight for anything anymore, these empty things would never be useful again. But today, seeing Xu Huaimin's flawless etiquette, Shen Yuxia wanted to prove herself in front of him, telling her past self that she could do it, and she could make Xu Huaimin unable to find any fault with her again.

  Shen Youxia's slight bow was a standard, impeccable courtesy that couldn't be faulted in any way.

  This made Xu Huaimin astonished, An Yihang shocked, and Zhu Yunyan grasped the thread of doubt that had been in her heart all along.

  The Shenyu Xia in front of me seems to be no longer the original Shen Yu Xia who set up a trap for herself, tried every means to marry herself, and surrounded herself with herself at all times. Or it can be said that the shell is still Shen Yu Xia's shell, but the core inside has changed.

  Zhu Yunyan didn't know when he started having this suspicion, but just now seeing Shen Youxia's return gift made him grasp the problem that had been lingering in his heart for a long time, yet was always ignored by himself.

  Looking at Shen Youxia in front of her, Zhu Yunyan began to recall the details of her interactions with Shen Youxia and found that since Shen Youxia was hit by Xu Huamin's carriage, she had changed completely and was no longer the same as before.

  It was also from then on that Shen Youxia began to rebel and leave, starting to do many things she wouldn't have looked at before.
