Chapter 15 Private Meeting
Shen Chunlan walked out of Shen Miaolan's house, obviously in a good mood. The personal maid Ziying was a little worried, "Girl, you won't be bought by the fifth girl with one meal, right?"
Shen Chunlan shouted as if someone had snooped on some secret, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is rare about her food?"
Ziying was still a little uneasy, and looked at Shen Chunlan's awkward expression carefully, "However, the slave didn't seem to think so in her heart when she looked at the girl." ”
"What do I think in my heart, why should I tell you?" Shen Chunlan glared at Ziying, and took out the head of the concubine faction and reprimanded.
Ziying shrunk her neck and complained, "The slaves and maids are all for the good of the girl, has the girl forgotten the two cheap maids in the courtyard of the fifth girl, Xia Feng and Dong Yang?"
Shen Chunlan has suffered many losses in the summer breeze and winter sun. When I thought about it, I was resentful, and said angrily, "You still mean to say that I raised a room full of waste, but I can't beat the two girls in Miaolan's house!"
Ziying felt that the situation was really getting worse and worse. Does the girl know that Shen Miaolan is the biggest obstacle for her to sit on the throne of the crown princess! Ziying felt that she had to report the treacherous and cunning Shen Miaolan's bribery of Shen Chunlan to the second lady. Let the second lady rectify her well!
After Shen Miaolan was full of wine and food, she felt a little sleepy. simply got up and prepared to invite Shen Yilan to sit with the third lady.
The lark stopped, "Madame is at the old lady's place now, and the girl is afraid that she will be in the air if she goes." It's freezing on this day, and I'm about to hold the lamp, so it's better not to go. ”
Miao Lan sat on the soft couch of Hibiscus and tilted her head, "Mother has been with the old lady all day." ”
At this time, Mother Yun, the nurse, happened to enter the door, with a happy face, "The girl doesn't know yet, we have a happy event in the third room today." ”
"What's the happy event?" Miao Lan was interested, sat up straight and looked at Mother Yun.
"The lord has a letter, and he will enter the palace in the morning, and he should be about to return home. Mother Yun was elated, "The master went directly to the palace without returning to Beijing this time, which shows the grace of the saint." ”
Grace?Shen Miaolan twitched the corner of her mouth. After fighting outside for several years, it was easy to go home and not let you in, and you had to report to the governor, which was really hard to bear.
In fact, it is normal for this border to return to Beijing to face the saint first, and then the saint will stay in the palace for a meal, give some gold, beauty, and silk satin, and then put people home early. But Master Shen San arrived in the morning, and he hadn't come back when it was dark, so something didn't seem quite right.
Shen Miaolan silently felt a little worried. It's just that she doesn't understand the rules under the current social system, so it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse for the third master to stay in the palace for so long. In short, this incident is definitely something that has a long-term impact on the Shen family.
Shen Miaolan was worried about her father for short-term meal tickets, and threw the prince who might become a long-term meal ticket out of the clouds.
At this time, it was the middle of winter, and the prince, who was waiting in the cold wind, had already begun to shiver. A certain young man who drank alcohol and did not dare to go home slapped the prince who was standing in the cold wind with his elbow. "Wusheng, don't wait, go back. ”
The prince lowered his eyes, obviously not in a good mood, and did not want to answer Xiu Ming's words.
Xiu Mingliang stomped his feet and rubbed his frozen red hands to cover his ears, "If she wants to see you, she will meet you in Pinxian Building." ”
"There was an accident on the way to Pinxian Building...... the prince looked up at the white moon in the sky, and seemed to be a little unconfident. At this time, he was also a little unsure, during the day, whether Shen Miaolan was really followed by the people in the second room of the house, or if she didn't want to meet him at all, so she found a reason at random.
"Let's go back to the palace. Xiu Ming wanted to say something more, but seeing the prince's depressed expression, he couldn't bear to speak again.
The prince waved his hand, "You go back first, I'll go in and take a look." ”
"What are you doing?" Xiu Ming grabbed the prince's sleeve, "Originally, it was already a desperate step to wait for her here, if you entered the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, would you still go to her boudoir?"
The prince stared at Xiu Ming and grabbed his hand, pursed his lips and did not reply.
Xiu Ming frowned, "First I planted a private meeting with my lover, and then the prince sneaked into the boudoir for a secret meeting." Are you going to kill Miss Shen Wu?"
The prince was overwhelmed by emotion, and he didn't even think about it for a while. Thinking that Miaolan touched the pillar in order to prove her innocence, and fell into the ice water to soak, the prince felt that his whole heart was pinched.
Seeing that he had regained his senses, Xiu Ming slowly let go of his hand, "When you go back to the palace today, although it is possible that you will never be able to be with Shen Wu, with her background and character, she can marry a family with the right family, and she will have a dull life." You too can sit on the throne. But if you step through this corner door and come to her. If you are willing to give up the throne and wander the world with her, then she will become a demon girl of the country from now on. It's up to you to decide what you choose. ”
With these words, he turned and walked away. Leaving the prince alone, standing in a daze under the cold moonlight.
Someone was tormented for her outside, but Shen Miaolan was lying on the bed at this time, comfortably listening to Mother Yun's interesting stories about her youth in the princess's mansion.
The master and servant were huddled together, and when they were laughing happily, they heard a report outside, saying that the third master was coming.
Shen Miaolan hurriedly got up from the bed and prepared to go out to greet her.
"Miao'er, come here, see what good things Dad has brought you!" There is a bit of hoarseness in his deep voice, but his tone is extremely brisk.
Shen Miaolan took three steps and made two steps to greet her. I saw a tall middle-aged man in a military uniform standing at the door. I probably haven't taken care of my beard for a long time, and the beard on my face is messy and looks very sloppy, but my eyes are big and bright.
Shen Miaolan looked at her father's funny appearance, and she couldn't call out her father for a while. In a blink of an eye, he saw a thin little child standing beside Master Shen San. At first glance, he looked like he was about eleven or twelve years old, because he was wearing a coarse cotton coat, and his hair was only tied up at random, and he couldn't see his gender.
Seeing Shen Miaolan looking at herself, the kid frowned as if he was quite dissatisfied, glared at Shen Miaolan, and then looked away. What does the disgusted look on this child's face mean?
Shen Miaolan glared at him dissatisfied.
Seeing that his daughter was interested in the children around him, Master Shen San waved his hand, called Shen Miaolan to his side, pulled the child and said, "How about seeing the gift that Dad gave you?"
Shen Miaolan looked at Master Shen San dumbfounded!
I've heard of colleagues sending beautiful women to each other, but I've never heard of my father sending his daughter to a dirty child. Shen Miaolan looked the child up and down, although her little face was a little dirty, she was also beautiful. As if his brain was cramping, he asked, "This is the beauty that someone else gave to Dad?!"
