Bonita instantly regretted it and tugged Ryan’s sleeve. “Then, then I’ll wait for you here.”

Elizabeth’s phoenix eyes were languid as she swept her gaze over Bonita. Without saying a word, she stood up and went to look for Shi Xi.

Bonita looked nervously at Ryan, then at the Queen’s back.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” Ryan comforted in a low voice.

“Then, then I…” Bonita hesitated.

She didn’t want to follow the Queen, but she was afraid that if she didn’t, the Queen would hate her.

“Let’s go, we’ll go together,” Ryan said.

“Yes.” Bonita was half a step behind Ryan, feeling a little more at ease.

The group of people walked toward Shi Xi’s room in a grandiose manner.

When she reached Shi Xi’s room, she happened to hear the conversation inside.

“The Queen likes girls who like to smile,” the maid advised. “Princess Consort, please smile more.”

The future Princess Consort’s tone was frivolous and casual. “I also quite like girls who like to smile. Why don’t you ask the Queen to smile at me more?”

For a moment, the atmosphere became stiff.

Everyone looked at the Queen and lowered their heads respectfully, afraid of offending her.

Bonita, who was walking at the back, was so shocked by Shi Xi’s words that she did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Elizabeth chuckled and walked in. “Do you like it when I smile more?”

Shi Xi: ?!

Hearing an unfamiliar voice, Shi Xi looked in the direction of the source of the voice.

Although she had never seen the Queen before, Elizabeth was dressed luxuriously and wore a crown on her head. She could tell at a glance that she was not an ordinary person.

Even Ryan followed behind her.

“Y-y-you’re the Queen?” Shi Xi stammered.

Elizabeth smiled elegantly and nodded slightly.

“Erm, w-why are you here?” Shi Xi asked awkwardly.

“Of course we’re here to see why my good Princess Consort hasn’t come out after so many calls.” Ryan stepped forward and pushed Sena’s who was holding the wheelchair in place. He said gently, “The flowers in the garden are blooming. Don’t you want to go out and take a look?”

“Yes, I do.” Shi Xi’s eyes curved into crescents. She was already sick of looking at those crappy flowers.

“I thought you didn’t want to see me, that’s why you didn’t come.” Elizabeth laughed.

The pressure of being in a position of power for a long time made Shi Xi feel pressure for a long time.

“I just woke up late.” Shi Xi said with a shallow smile.

Seeing that Shi Xi and the Queen were conversing freely, Bonita, who was behind them, revealed an envious gaze.

She wanted to be as brave and generous as Shi Xi.

Even if she said something disrespectful behind her back, she would not be lectured by the Queen.

“Ryan said that you saved his life once.” Elizabeth looked down at Shi Xi.

“It’s nothing. The First Prince saved me too.” Shi Xi was conflicted.

She had once saved Ryan’s life, and Ryan had dug her out of the snow.

The two canceled each other out.

“This is fate. Even God brought you together.”

“Are you still religious?” Shi Xi asked.

Ryan:”…”

Elizabeth then asked Shi Xi about her education, job, and family background.

She had all the information in her hands, but she still asked Shi Xi about it.

“If you become a Princess Consort, you won’t be able to act anymore. Is this acceptable?” Elizabeth asked.

Shi Xi was about to refuse when Ryan answered for her.

“After we get married, the Princess Consort will properly raise our children in the palace. You don’t have to worry about that,” Ryan said with a smile.

“Miss Shi is so beautiful. Your future child will definitely be very beautiful.” Elizabeth smiled faintly, but there was no joy in her eyes.

Elizabeth walked in front, Ryan pushed Shi Xi, and Bonita fell behind..
