Zhao Shu'er was just a country girl, but she married into Duke Shen's palace and became a high-ranking official by virtue of her reputation as the eldest princess's palace.
As a high-ranking official in the Duke's palace, the person he wants to marry is naturally not Zhao Shu'er, who is glamorous and low-status.
The Shen family was so arrogant that even the people around her husband only vaguely called her "Mrs. Qing."
At first, Shen Yan saw that every time his wife was called "Mrs. Qing," a slight smile would appear on her lips.
At that time, Shen Yan was extremely disdainful.
He thought she was a vain woman, coveting the name Mrs. Shen's family that would bring her glory.
Until an oracle spread throughout the capital, his wife became another person and wore a gorgeous phoenix hairpin...
Only then did he realize that that extremely beautiful face, every time he smiled, was mocking his ignorance.

The new emperor ascended the throne and there was a banquet in the palace.
Mrs. Zhao of the Shen family came to the palace to pay homage.
On behalf of the declining descendant Shen family, she presented the congratulatory gift with her own hands. She bent her neck weakly and knelt down at the foot of the steps with a graceful figure.
The crown is swaying, and Pei Yuanyao is sitting high in the bright hall.
The emperor didn't say a word, and the woman below the steps could only hold on, her raised hands trembling. She was about to fall before someone from the palace accepted her gift.
Pei Yuanyao stared at Mrs. Shen's family coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
The Shen family prides themselves on being smart. Do they think they can sit back and relax by sending a woman to show weakness to him?
…
That day, it rained heavily.
Zhao Shuer had no way to seek help, so she broke into the Queen Mother's palace alone at night and knelt down in front of the palace.
"I am willing to pay any price, just to ask for the medicine from the Queen Mother."
The door of the Zhuhong Palace opened wide, and a man came out.
Zhao Shuer remembered that he was Pei Yuanyao, the king of the entire Ying Dynasty.
"Go back, the Queen Mother is not in the palace."
He kindly gave her an umbrella to cover the rain above her head, but turned around and left again.
Zhao Shuer tremblingly grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, stay."
"What's the matter?"
The man turned around and looked back, looking wildly.
It's like a net has fallen from the sky, ready to catch prey at any time.
Zhao Shuer threw away the umbrella in her hand and let the rain soak all over her body: "I am willing to pay any price to ask your Majesty to give you medicine."
The beauty sheds tears in the rain, she is so weak that she cannot be broken, which makes people pity her.
Pei Yuanyao grabbed her limp wrist, squatted down and soaked in the rain with her, staring at her white lips.
"I want to be sincere, madam, will you give it to me?"
