Shen Yanping chased Shen Cang with a stick for a long time, but finally couldn't chase anymore, so he panted and walked away with a stick, and before leaving, he scolded "rebel" and "expelled from the house".

The second lady hurriedly followed Shen Yanping and appeased Shen Yanping in anger.

The courtyard was a little quieter.

Seeing that Shen Yanping and the second lady had finally left, Shen Cang breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Second brother. Shen Fengxu called softly.

Shen Cang turned his head and saw that it was Shen Fengxu, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Sixth sister......! It's Min and Junjun. ”

As he spoke, he was about to salute, but Shen Fengxu only waved his hand and said, "No need, there are no outsiders here, and the second brother doesn't need to be polite." ”

"The sixth sister is not only the righteous daughter of Princess Ning now, but also the ...... of Chaomin and Junjun" Shen Cang somehow suddenly sighed and said with envy, "It would be good if anyone could give me an official position." ”

Shen Fengxu laughed for a moment, and then asked, "Second brother, did you really join the Qinglinwei?"

Speaking of Qing Linwei, Shen Cang suddenly became interested, and he said excitedly: "Of course, I think I have been studying hard and practicing hard these days in order to become Qing Linwei, but I don't know how much hardship I have suffered, my father will only say that I don't know how to learn, but I have never neglected training one day, fortunately, the emperor lives up to his wishes, just three days ago, I was in ......"

Shen Cang gushed endlessly, not caring at all about whether the audience around him listened to the words or not.

Shen Fengxu: "......"

She stood still for a long time, and had the heart to speak, but Shen Cang was so excited to talk about Qing Linwei that she didn't even have a word, and Shen Fengxu couldn't even find a place to interject.

Shen Fengxu blinked, and said, "Second Uncle is here!"

Shen Cang suddenly had a spirit, a swift and fast flying body, and jumped to the tree on the side, but after looking closely, he didn't see Shen Yanping's figure, and immediately complained: "Sixth sister, how can you lie to me like this!"

Shen Fengxu smiled slightly: "It's just a moment of dazzle, how could I have thought that the second brother's reaction would be so big." ”

"That's it. Shen Cang rolled his eyes, jumped down from the tree, looked around, and asked, "Sixth sister, where is the maid next to you, I want to compete with her once!"

Shen Cang is talking about Yun Bang.

"Oh, the second brother really wants to compete with her?" Shen Fengxu chuckled, "I'm afraid that ten second brothers are not her opponents." ”

Shen Cang was suddenly dissatisfied, and said: "I was indeed not her opponent before, but I am much more powerful than before now, and now if you let me meet her again, I will definitely beat her to her knees and beg for mercy!"

He shouted.

But as soon as the words fell, suddenly something cold stuck to the neck, and suddenly a piercing chill came from the neck to the heart, and a woman's thin voice came.

"Really, you're going to make me kneel and beg for mercy?"

Shen Cang's body stiffened: "Let's have an open competition, what kind of ability are you sneaking up on me from behind?"

Yun Wanyan smiled: "Why should I compete with you openly?"

"You ——!" Shen Cang gritted his teeth.

Unreasonable.

However, in an instant, Yun Wan took away the thing attached to Shen Cang's neck, but it was not a long sword, but a rod needle used by the maid in the courtyard for weaving.

Shen Cang touched his neck with fear, but found that what Yun Wan was holding before was such a thing, and his face turned dark: "You just compare this with me?"

Yun Wan smiled lightly, weighed the rod needle in his hand, and said, "It's enough to deal with you." ”

Shen Fengxu stepped back a little and looked at the two of them standing in the middle of the courtyard.

On the side, Qingya asked curiously, "Who do you think will win?"

Dansha said as a matter of course: "Miss Yun's martial arts are strong, and it will definitely be easy to deal with the second son, and it will be effortless." ”

"But the second son is now Qinglinwei. Hua Qing blinked, "I heard that Qing Linwei's requirements are very strict, and if the second son can become Qing Linwei, his martial arts will definitely not be bad." ”

Qing Linwei is very demanding, and it is not accessible to ordinary people who embroider their legs.

During the time when a few people were chatting, Yun Wan and Shen Cang had already started fighting.

But before I had time to take a closer look, it ended in the middle of the rabbit's ups and downs.

A crowd of onlookers: "......"

Just now, Yun Wan dodged, and the needle in his hand was against Shen Cang's throat, and the whole process was over without even a blink of an eye.

Shen Cang's face suddenly turned red: "No, I'm not ready, this doesn't count!"

It was really embarrassing to lose to Yun Wan's girl's family in front of so many people! Not only was it a shame, but Shen Cang felt that his self-confidence had been hit.

Yun Wan threw the needle in his hand and said, "It's good that you know it in your own heart." ”

After that, he turned around and left, very chic.

Shen Cang was about to chase Yun Bang, but was stopped by Shen Fengxu: "Second brother, let's practice more, you will become a Qinglinwei in the future, and you will inevitably encounter danger." ”

Shen Cang became depressed: "I've been practicing for so long, but I can't even beat a girl's house?"

Shen Fengxu smiled soothingly: "The second brother can become one of the best Qinglinwei in a hundred, naturally it is not bad, if he can make contributions in the future, presumably the second uncle will not be so opposed." ”

Shen Cang blinked.

Shen Yanping has also been against this matter.

But he insisted on going his own way, not only Shen Yanping's opposition, but almost all the people around him opposed him becoming Qing Linwei, even if he was a former classmate and friend, they were all sighing and speechless in the face of this matter.

But this matter had taken root in his heart for a long time.

He can also study and learn calligraphy in the academy like Shen Qing, and follow his father in the officialdom in the future to mix with official positions, and it is not impossible to eat and wait for death for the rest of his life, but he doesn't want this, he doesn't want his life to be bound by others.

He thought that even if everyone was against it, he would do what he wanted to do.

He settled down and said, "I know, Sixth Sister, when I am promoted and rich in the future, I will definitely not forget you!"

Shen Fengxu smiled slightly: "That's naturally good." ”

......

Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.

This is the first time Shen Fengxu has entered the palace, so before entering the palace, Princess Ning specially sent her maidservant to Dongning Bo's Mansion, brought a decent dress to Shen Fengxu, and taught Shen Fengxu about matters in the palace.

On the day he entered the palace, he personally picked up Shen Fengxu and sat in the carriage of King Ning's mansion and went to the palace together.

The eldest lady stood in front of the door of Dongningbo's mansion, almost gritting her teeth.

She deliberately designed to make things difficult for Shen Fengxu, but she didn't want Shen Fengxu to go to the palace with her at all, but to join the palace with Princess Ning.

The maid Hongqu hurriedly reassured: "Madame, don't be angry, it's the fault of the six girls that they don't know how to be filial to their daughters, but we can't delay going to the palace because of this." ”

The eldest lady snorted coldly and got into the carriage as well.

And in the carriage of King Ning's mansion, Princess Ning was talking to Shen Fengxu about the various forces in the harem.

"Prince Mingcheng, the third prince Mingyuan and the ninth princess Mingsi are all from the queen, the emperor and his wife are affectionate, the emperor almost stays in the queen's palace for more than ten days a month, the queen not only has heirs, but also from the Hu family, so if you enter the palace, you must remember not to offend the queen. ”

Shen Fengxu nodded: "Fengxu knows." ”

It's just that......

Although Ming Cheng and Ming Yuan are both from the queen, the queen is lukewarm to Ming Cheng as the crown prince, and even on the day when Ming Cheng married the concubine, he only sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, and did not attend in person, but he was very fond of the three princes, and asked for warmth.

Everyone knows that from the moment Ming Cheng was born, he was not loved by the queen, he was the son of the emperor, and the first child of the new emperor after he ascended the throne, he should have been loved by thousands of people, but this was not the case.

The queen was extremely cold to him, and even not only cold, but hateful, I heard that Ming Cheng cried endlessly when he was a child, and when the queen couldn't sleep steadily, the queen even ordered the palace maid to feed Ming Cheng sleeping pills, but Ming Cheng was still a young child at that time, where could he withstand the toss of drugs, so it also led to a later frail and sick, although it looked no different from ordinary people, but it ended up with many diseases.

In addition, he completely disregarded Ming Cheng's mood in many things.

But Ming Jin loved Ming Cheng very much, and when Ming Cheng was four years old, it was also the day when the third prince Ming Yuan was born, and Ming Cheng was officially named the crown prince.

And the queen to the third prince Mingyuan, as if she had changed a person, both gentle and considerate, undressed, guarded in front of the third prince Mingyuan, if Mingyuan was half unwell, the queen immediately called the imperial doctors.

And then the same is true of the nine princesses.

In addition to the prince's acceptance, the queen is gentle and meticulous to each of her children.

"Concubine Xian has been in the palace for many years, but she has not come out so far, but Concubine Xian has her back to the Marquis of Pingyuan's mansion, although she does not have any heirs, she can stand on her feet, and she is not something that can be easily provoked. ”

Concubine Xian was born in the Marquis Mansion of Pingyuan, and Zhao Jinyu and Zhao Wanqiu, whom Shen Fengxu knew before, were both nieces of Concubine Xian.

"Concubine Rou came from a mediocre background, I heard that her personality is soft and sweet, she may have stood tall in the palace for decades, and it is certainly not the gentle and graceful as rumored, the fourth prince Ming Yan is from Concubine Rou, before Ming Yan seems to be quite difficult for you, you also need to be cautious when facing Concubine Rou. ”

Shen Fengxu knows this.

Shen Yulou didn't know when he began to attach to Ming Yan, and Concubine Rou, as the biological mother of the four princes, was naturally united with the four princes, so it was inevitable that she would stand on the opposite side of Shen Fengxu.

But Shen Fengxu asked, "Does the princess know about Jiang Xiaoyi?"

She asked Jiang Xiyue.

Princess Ning smiled, sighed, and said: "Although Jiang Xiaoyi is the eldest daughter of Yi'an Bofu, she did not enter the palace as a show girl, so she naturally attracted much attention. ”

It's dangerous.

Shen Fengxu's heart sank, so he asked, "If Fengxu wants to see Jiang Xiaoyi, I don't know if there is a chance?"

Princess Ning lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the sky outside the window, and said: "If it is still early today, there is still a while before the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, I will go to see the Queen Mother after entering the palace, you can walk around the palace casually, you are Min and the county monarch, it doesn't hurt to walk around the palace, just don't bump into others." ”

The implication is that you can go to see Jiang Xiyue.

"Thank you, Princess, for making it happen. ”

Shen Fengxu's heart settled down a little.

......

In the Moon Picking Palace, there was silence.

Jiang Xiyue sat in front of the table, it seemed that her mind was drifting away, she looked at the snow-white scenery outside the window, her expression couldn't see joy or anger, she just kept looking ahead, as if there was something very important there.

There was a palace maid by her side and called, "Xiaoyi." ”

Jiang Xuanyue didn't seem to hear it.

The palace maid called again: "Jiang Xiaoyi." ”

Jiang Xuanyue came back to her senses and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"Minhe Junjun is now outside the Moon Picking Palace, and he wants to see Xiaoyi. ”

The expression on Jiang Xuanyue's face froze for a moment: "What did you say?" Shen Feng-Min and Junjun are here?"

Although she was in the palace, she also heard that Shen Fengxu was named the prince of Minhe and became the righteous daughter of Princess Ning, she thought that she would never have the opportunity to see her parents and family in this life, and she would not want to see her former friends, but now Shen Fengxu is outside the palace.

Her position is just Xiaoyi.

Only concubines and above can go to the palace banquet, and only concubines and above can have the opportunity for parents and family to visit, she thought that she would have no chance in her life.

Like a bird trapped in a cage, it can only glimpse the sky outside the palace wall, but it can never see the scenery outside the palace wall with your own eyes.

"Quick, come and ask Min and Junjun to come in. Jiang Xuyue hurriedly stood up, with an irrepressible look of joy on her face.

The palace maid frowned slightly, shook her head slightly, and said, "Please also ask Xiaoyi to tidy up her appearance first, if you go to see Min and Junjun like this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Somehow, it was like a bucket of cold water poured down from her head, which made Jiang Xuyue's mood fall to the bottom in an instant, but she didn't say anything, she just nodded, her tone was a little difficult, and said, "Okay." ”

The palace maid nodded: "Xiaoyi sit down first, and the maid will make up for you." ”

In front of the palace maid in front of her, Jiang Xiyue couldn't stand up to her master's posture at all, but seemed to be restrained everywhere.

Looking at her pale face reflected in the mirror, Jiang Xiyue's heart sank a little.

While grooming Jiang Xuanyue, the palace maid said softly: "Xiaoyi's appearance is excellent, if she takes care of it carefully, she will naturally not lose to others, but Xiaoyi's face is sad every day, and the emperor doesn't like to come to the Moon Picking Palace." ”

Jiang Xuanyue turned her head away and gritted her teeth gently: "I'd rather not have such an honor than be trapped here and slaughtered." ”

The palace maid's voice suddenly turned cold: "Xiaoyi, please pay attention to your words." ”

Jiang Xiyue's eyes sank: "It's me who lost my words." ”
