Chapter 28: The Little Banquet
The night breeze is bleak, slightly cool. Two shadows slowly moved forward in the faint light.
"You're really good at planning." Concubine Chen chuckled and said, judging from her who was flying and domineering on weekdays.
Su Wanxi pretended to be ignorant and said, "I don't know why my sister said this?" ”
Concubine Chen smiled lowly, looked sideways at Wanxi and said, "Do you think I really can't see these tricks?" The 'Peony Fairy' will visualize the little sister who was with you in the garden that day. If I hadn't deliberately failed to stop the emperor, would your plan have succeeded? ”
Su Wanxi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Then thank you sister for that." "It seems that this Concubine Chen is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, she remembers her after only seeing Ruyue, and can quickly sort out the ins and outs of the whole thing. Su Wanxi secretly thought about how to treat Concubine Chen in the future, and the best way to deal with such a person who is a great threat to herself is to deal with it quickly.
"No thanks, they're all my own sisters." Concubine Chen said lightly, her tone was cold, but she said, "But if you touch my bottom line, don't say that your own sisters are sisters, and I will not let go!" ”
Su Wanxi's eyes sank, chuckled, and said, "Sister is so poisonous. ”
Concubine Chen smiled lightly: "I'm afraid of each other." ”
While speaking, the two had already arrived at the Jujing Garden, and not far away, the queen and the rest of the people had already gathered in the Moon Viewing Pavilion. Concubine Chen and Su Wanxi arrived together, and everyone present was puzzled, this pair of enemies was actually together?
"What about the emperor?" The queen looked at Concubine Chen questioningly.
Concubine Chen pretended to be innocent and said: "The emperor has something to do temporarily, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to Jujingyuan today." ”
Hearing this, sighs came and went, and the concubines dressed up carefully in order to win the emperor's eye, but now they heard that the emperor would not come, and they were very disappointed. Originally, many people retired after hearing the news, and the last ones who came to admire the moon were only those who came to admire the moon.
"Let's take a seat." The queen said, looking at the pavilion again, there are only ten people left.
"Wanxi, why did you come here with Concubine Chen?" Qiu Zi was also in the crowd, and when she saw Su Wanxi, she greeted her.
"Just drop by." Su Wanxi looked at Qiu Zi and couldn't help but think of Ruyue, hoping that the plan would go smoothly.
Concubine Chen looked at Qiu Zi, with a little more doubt on her face, this Qiu Shunrong's reputation is already much higher than other newcomers, and it seems that the emperor is still quite popular on the day of the palace election, but why has it been so long and he hasn't gotten a bed once? Concubine Chen thought secretly, walked past the two of them, and made a calculation in her heart.
"Hey, I can't see the emperor again." Qiu Zi had beautiful makeup, but she looked frustrated and disappointed.
"It's okay, there's always a chance." Su Wanxi comforted her.
"Wanxi, you must say more good things to me in front of the emperor!" Qiu Zi coquettishly held Su Wanxi's hand.
"Well, naturally." Su Wanxi thought that if she hadn't secretly stopped Shen Wen, I am afraid that Qiu Zi would have been fortunate now.
Qiu Zi sighed and said, "Then I'll go back to the palace first, the emperor is not here, I am a concubine who is not favored, and I don't have the face to stay any longer." ”
Su Wanxi frowned slightly, she wanted to keep her, but after thinking about it, it would be better for Qiu Zi to leave this kind of place of right and wrong, so she nodded slightly and said, "I'll come to see you another day." ”
"Well......" Qiu Zi responded and left lonely.
The flowers and greens retreated, and Su Wanxi saw Shen Jingyuan and the woman beside him. The woman was dressed in a long green spinning skirt, dressed luxuriously, with a pair of red phoenix eyes, with a small nose and a cherry-like mouth, she looked very delicate.
"Concubine Su, come here, you just entered the palace, and the palace will introduce you." The queen took Su Wanxi's hand very happily, then looked at Shen Jingyuan and said, "This is the only son of this palace, and he is also the crown prince, Shen Jingyuan." ”
Su Wanxi looked at Shen Jingyuan and smiled slightly, and said, "The concubine knows the prince." ”
Shen Jingyuan bowed slightly to Wanxi according to etiquette: "I've seen Concubine Su." ”
"Next to him is Concubine Lu Chu, and today the crown princess is ill and can't come." The queen went on to introduce that from her smile, it could be seen that she was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
"Lu Chu has seen Su Guifei." Zhao Luchu saluted Wanxi, thinking that he had heard about Su Guifei a few days ago, and when he saw it today, it was no wonder that she was so favored, and there were few people in the world who could compare with her beauty.
"It's all a family, you're welcome." Su Wanxi also politely returned the salute to Zhao Luchu, but Shen Jingyuan did not bring Bai Chengcheng to such a family banquet, it can be seen that her once most beloved sister tried her best to sit on the position of the crown princess, but her life was not very good. It seems that in Shen Jingyuan's heart, does he really still love Zhao Luchu, who looks soft and weak in front of him? I don't know if Zhao Luchu's indifferent and vicious face when he faced his dying self, if Shen Jingyuan had seen it with his own eyes, if he had really seen it, would he still love her so much?
The queen pulled Su Wanxi into the seat and said: "The prince lives in the East Palace, and he has to come together to enjoy the moon today, and the rest of the princes have already sealed their territories and left, and the prince and princess who are still in the palace are still young, and the palace will introduce you one by one when the New Year comes." ”
"My sister bothered, my sister works hard for the harem every day, and she cares about her sister so much, Wanxi is really grateful."
The rest of the people present were nothing more than some concubines who were old and yellow, or some concubines who came with the little prince and the little princess.
Everyone greeted each other, and the night gradually deepened, the sky became darker, and the stars became brighter. In the deep night sky, the stars are already hanging high.
While everyone was chatting, the queen thought of something serious again, looked in the direction of Shen Jingyuan and Zhao Luchu and asked, "You two, when will you give birth to a little emperor's grandson in this palace?" ”
Shen Jingyuan and Zhao Luchu have been married for five years, and then they also accepted two concubines and married Bai Tingcheng, although the two concubines were pregnant, they were accidentally miscarried, but Bai Tingcheng and the side concubine Zhao Luchu had nothing, and she felt uncomfortable every time she mentioned this matter.
Su Wanxi's eyes fell on Shen Jingyuan impartially when he heard this, his face was kind, and he was not necessarily anxious and helpless.
"The queen mother, the sons just want to go with the flow." Shen Jingyuan said respectfully, got up and said, "It's not early, Erchen has returned to the palace with Lu Chu first." ”
When Zhao Lu first heard this, he smiled lightly and got up to bow down to the people present, and left with Shen Jingyuan.
Su Wanxi watched coldly as the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the night, and couldn't help biting her thin lip slightly, thinking a little distracted. mentioned the most embarrassing thing about Zhao Luchu, and he hurriedly said that he wanted to leave, which is probably too good for her, right? Shen Jingyuan is also a romantic person, but he is amorous, but his family is not full of wives and concubines, which is different from Shen Wen. Su Wanxi can see that outside, he regards women as playthings, and the ones he will bring home are the people he really loves and decides to live for the rest of his life.
Oh, maybe he was the plaything he had to take home.
After Shen Jingyuan left, all kinds of concubines gradually left, and in the end, only Su Wanxi and Concubine Chen were left, Su Wanxi had not yet spoken, but Concubine Chen said first: "Renming Hall and Fu Hui Ju are also on the way, let's go together?" ”
Su Wanxi smiled indifferently: "Since my sister said it, I don't dare to shirk it." ”
The two walked together, but they didn't talk anymore along the way, just quietly walked to the fork in the road and left.
Su Wanxi walked straight towards Fuyuanju, stopped and turned around to look at the road where Concubine Chen had gone.
Concubine Chen's person concealed it very deeply, but she always felt that she was a woman with a story. Oh, if it weren't for the meeting in this deep palace, maybe she would be a good friend.
Su Wanxi thought alone, but hooked her lips and smiled, Concubine Chen, Concubine Chen, I want to see what skills you have.
