Chapter 332 Everyone's Concerns
In a flash, it was already bright outside. Chu Qiu and two maids walked in briskly, carrying a wooden basin and toiletries.
Several people first bowed respectfully to Shen Li and greeted him. When they looked up and saw Xuanfeng Sanren appearing in Shen Li's room so early, they also bowed their heads and said, "Greetings to the old immortal!"
(Little Koi) Xuanfeng Sanren stroked his beard, acting like a master, and waved his hand at the few people, saying, "No need to be so polite."
The fact is that the little koi suddenly heard the noise and quickly transformed into Xuanfeng Sanren. After staying in the space for twenty years, it can now change freely and can turn into anyone to come and go freely.
Then Chu Qiu walked forward, her eyes fell on the clothes spread out on the bed, and she asked softly, "Miss, are you planning to wear this county lady's uniform into the palace today?"
Shen Li smiled, nodded slightly, and said softly: "As people from Beichen, we are now entering the palace of another country, so we should naturally follow the proper etiquette. This dress, thankfully you have been carrying it with you, I just happened to find it from the package."
The few people believed Shen Li's words without a doubt and hurried forward to help her wash and dress. Their movements were gentle and skillful, and every step was meticulous and attentive.
Chu Qiu and the two maids exchanged glances, each one puzzled. Did she really bring the county lady's uniform with her before leaving? It seemed she did. Hmm, it must have been accidentally put in the young lady's bag. Otherwise, how could it have appeared here for no apparent reason?
In fact, they didn't know that Shen Li had worn this dress several times before, and then threw it into the storage bag. This time she just took it out.
After a while, Shen Li finished dressing.
She sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, her eyes fixed on her reflection in the mirror.
The county lady's uniform was well-cut and made of high-quality fabric. The delicate embroidery gleamed in the morning light, highlighting her tall and straight figure and elegant temperament.
Her makeup was fresh and elegant, which perfectly highlighted her already bright and attractive facial features. Her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, her lips were like cherry blossoms, and her black hair was neatly combed into a dignified and generous bun, with a few simple yet luxurious hairpins inserted in it. They swayed gently with her movements, adding a bit of lively beauty.
Shen Li leaned slightly to the side, carefully examining her own demeanor, secretly pondering the various possibilities of her trip to the palace today. Her eyes revealed a hint of firmness and determination, as if she was ready to face all unknown challenges.
After a while, several people served Shen Li some porridge and side dishes.
After the meal, Shen Li walked out of the room and went straight to find her father Shen Shaodong, her brothers Shen Xuan and Shen Yu, as well as Su Ran, Zhao Lin, Luo Feng and other people she trusted, and explained her thoughts carefully again.
Her expression was as calm as water. She slowly glanced around, then said firmly, "I plan to take Master, Chu Qiu, and Master Su to the Xiqi Palace. You will all stay here and wait for my return. Do not act rashly until you have confirmed the news. You must believe that I have enough ability to protect myself and will return safely!"
Shen Shaodong looked at his daughter with a face full of worry, his brows furrowed. After a moment's silence, he said, "What you said does make sense. However, you have resolutely taken on this heavy responsibility of maintaining the stability of the four kingdoms. This may cause a lot of criticism along the way, and may even cause the Beichen royal family to be wary of you when you return. Although the current emperor may understand your painstaking efforts, if you are maliciously instigated by others, I am afraid you..."
Shen Li raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of determination and courage. She gently interrupted her father and said, "Father, I understand your concerns, but this matter concerns the safety of the four countries, and I cannot stay out of it.
"I will proceed with caution and try to avoid unnecessary trouble. Besides, I'm not going alone, so Master and Master Su are there to look after me. As for what happens next, I'll make plans after I return."
Xuanfeng Sanren (Little Koi) nodded and agreed, "You really don't need to worry so much. With me here, the Emperor of Xiqi wouldn't dare to act rashly."
Shen Xuan and Shen Yu also came forward, their eyes full of concern and reluctance.
Shen Xuan held Shen Li's hand tightly and said, "Sister, you must return safely. If you encounter any danger in the Xiqi Palace, you must find a way to send a message back. We will do everything we can to save you."
Shen Yu nodded heavily and agreed, "Yes, Li'er, you must not get into any trouble. We'll be waiting for you here, so you must be careful."
Su Ran stepped forward and said with a firm look, "Don't worry, Uncle Shen. I will do my best to protect the young lady. Although there are many unknowns on this journey to the Xiqi Palace, I believe that as long as we are careful, we will be able to overcome the danger."
Zhao Lin and Luo Feng also expressed that they would guard everyone at the post station and wait for news of Shen Li's safe return.
Shen Li felt a warm feeling in her heart as she looked at these relatives and friends who cared about her. She secretly vowed that she must achieve her goal on this trip to Xiqi, contribute her own strength to the peace and stability of the four countries, and return to them safely.
