Chapter 72: Return to the Palace
There were swarms of bees and butterflies in the back garden, Wan Qi Yifan sat on the stone bench, and Qing'er stood behind him obediently, looking cramped and uneasy.
"Qing'er. Wan Qi Yifan called.
"The slave is here. Qing'er hurriedly responded.
Wan Qi Yifan smiled and said, "You don't have to be so restrained, you sit down." β
Qing'er hurriedly shook her head: "The mother asked the slave maid to serve the son, but the slave maid didn't dare to sit." β
"Sit down!" Wan Qi Yifan said in a commanding tone.
Qing'er was slightly stunned, then bit her lip and sat aggrievedly in the farthest position from him.
Wan Qi Yifan smiled: "Really, I won't eat you again." Look at the scared look you look. β
Qing'er hung her head, her cheeks flushed.
"Look at your appearance, you should be the same age as my little sister, but after all, you are the one who wants to marry me, so call me Yifan in the future. Wan Qi Yifan said seriously, "You try?"
Qing'er looked at Wan Yifan hesitantly, biting her lip and shaking her head again and again.
Wan Qi Yifan said: "I know that it is indeed unfair to you to ask you to help me with a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, and I will try my best to satisfy you what you want in the future." If you still don't want to, I'll go and make it clear to the concubine, and I will never force you. β
Qing'er hurriedly got up and buried her head and said: "Childe thinks too much, the slave and maid help Childe in the final analysis, it is still for the sake of Niangniang, and he is willing......"
Wan Qi Yifan nodded: "Then you sit down, let's talk well, and when the two of us get along alone in the future, we will put aside each other's identities." After all, this is a matter of deception, if you don't behave well, the concubine can also be involved. β
Qing'er was taken aback, but she ignored the importance of this matter, this is a matter of bullying the king, if it is really noticed, there will be many people involved, thinking of this, Qing'er is very scared.
"What's wrong, are you scared?" Wan Qi Yifan saw Qing'er's thoughts.
Qing'er bit her lip, shook her head and said, "No." β
"Come, sit down. Wan Qi Yifan took Qing'er's hand and let Qing'er sit beside him.
"How long have you been with the concubine?" Wan Qi Yifan asked.
Qing'er thought for a while, and then said, "Slave ......"
"Stop! Forget what I just said?" Wan Qi Yifan raised his eyebrows and looked at Qing'er.
But Qing'er looked at him with an ignorant face, and her eyes seemed to ask, what did you just say?
Wan Qi Yifan smiled helplessly and said, "When the two of us are alone, put aside each other's identities, you are really stupid." β
Qing'er lowered her eyes and chuckled, and said in a low voice, "Okay." "As far as Yu Qing'er is concerned, she only knows that Wan Qi Yifan is a person with an amazing identity, but she still can't understand what kind of person Wan Qi Yifan is.
"What about your question?" Wan Qi Yifan asked again.
"Oh!" Qing'er came back to her senses, "slave...... I, Niangniang's dowry maid, have been by Niangniang's side since Niangniang entered the palace, and it has been 4 years. β
"It's only been four years?"
"Yes, Niangniang brought me back to the house a year before I entered the palace. β
"Why didn't the people who served her before enter the palace with her?" Wan Yifan felt a little strange.
When she asked this, Qing'er also felt strange: "It's the same...... After I arrived at the house, I was the only one who served Niangniang, and I never heard anyone mention that anyone had served Niangniang before......"
Wan Qi Yifan thought for a while, secretly wrote down this doubt, and then asked: "Tell me what happened to your mother in the palace." β
Qing'er was simple-minded and didn't think much about it, as soon as she mentioned what happened in the palace, the words were like surging water, endless.
Su Wanxi went from entering the palace to winning the emperor's favor and then to the cold palace, hunting in distress, investigating cases with the prince, and building the palace as long as Qing'er knew everything she told Wan Qian Yifan.
However, Su Wanxi also has her own sense of proportion, what should be known to the subordinates and what should not be known to the subordinates, so what Qing'er knows is also known to everyone in the palace.
After listening to Qing'er talk about what happened to Su Wanxi in the past few years, Wan Qi Yifan just sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "It seems that the palace is not a very good place." β
Qing'er pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "If I had to choose, I would rather be in the house." β
"Well, why did she go to the palace in the first place, the concubine?"
Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because of the holy decree, I don't know much about this." β
Wan Qi Yifan saw that it was not early, got up and said, "I'll send you back, and we'll talk again tomorrow." β
"Hmm. β
After Qing'er went back, Su Wanxi was reading a book in the room, and when she saw Qing'er coming back with a happy face, she asked her a few words.
"How's it going?"
Qing'er smiled and lowered her head: "Back to Niangniang, it's okay today." β
Su Wanxi smiled slightly, the appearance of this first love was very similar to herself......
"What have you done with him today?"
Qing'er replied truthfully: "Today, I have been chatting with Yifan Gongzi in the garden. β
"Oh, what did you say? I said it for a day. Su Wanxi asked curiously.
"Childe asked me a lot about Niangniang, so I told him something that everyone in the palace knows, and ...... other things" Qing'er remembered what Wan Qi Yifan told him that the two of them didn't have to care about their identities when they were together, and her heart was like honey, and she couldn't help but smile sweetly.
Su Wanxi frowned slightly, Wan Qi Yifan asked Qing'er about herself, was he curious about me, or was he doubting himself...... But in the final analysis, two people who have known each other for a short time have to do things that deceive the king together, and of course they have to see if the other party is reliable. Su Wanxi didn't care if Wan Qi Yifan was reliable, all she wanted was the power of the Wan Qi family.
"Qing'er. Su Wanxi called.
Qing'er hurriedly suppressed her smile: "Niang Niang commanded." β
"Letting you marry Wan Qi Yifan is just the first step, if you really have your heart for him, then you will have to use some heart when you arrive at Biluo Villa. However, Qing'er, I trust you very much, let you stay by Wan Qi Yifan's side, if there is any movement in Wan Qi's family, remember to find an opportunity to come into the palace and tell me, don't arouse Wan Qi Yifan's suspicion. Su Wanxi said earnestly.
Although Qing'er was naΓ―ve, she still understood many things, and secretly remembered them in her heart: "The slave understands." β
"Well, okay, you go and rest. β
"Wow. β
After Qing'er retreated, Qiulai asked suspiciously: "Qing'er is still young, if she really has a heart for Wan Qi Gongzi, I'm afraid she will ...... your words."
Su Wanxi smiled and shook her head: "No, she is so simple, she doesn't know what she shouldn't know, if Wan Qi Yifan thinks that he can say something from Qing'er's mouth, then he is also delusional, as long as Qing'er goes to his side, we will be able to know the movements of Wan Qi's family more or less." β
Qiulai nodded: "It's still thoughtful." β
In the next few days, Wan Qi Yifan would keep Qing'er by his side every day, and then send Qing'er back when the sun set.
Three days later, the palace sent someone to invite Su Wanxi back, and this time Su Wanxi did not refuse, but took the carriage back to the palace. What should come is always coming......
Qing'er also said goodbye to Wan Qi Yifan, waiting for the next meeting again.
Returning to the palace again, Su Wanxi had a sense that things were wrong.
The Fuyuan House was vacant for two months, and the Ciyuan Palace also moved into a new owner, the queen was no longer the queen, the concubine was no longer the concubine, and the prince was no longer the prince. Su Ziyou was also added to the rank of knight, and many courtiers in the court were also deposed because of Shen Mingxu's affairs......
Su Wanxi was dressed in white and haired, and after returning to the palace, she went to Funing Hall to meet Shen Wen, and when she stepped into Funing Palace, Shen Wen and Wangwu were both there.
"The concubines see the emperor and the queen. Su Wanxi bowed.
Shen Wen's physical condition is getting worse and worse than before, when Shen Mingxu was calculated, Su Wanxi and Shen Wen just discussed and asked Shen Wen to pretend to be seriously ill to show Shen Mingxu, but now Shen Wen's body is really real on the outside and void on the inside, and he is about to fall down at any time.
"Come to me, O concubine. Shen Wen called Su Wanxi.
"Your Majesty. Su Wanxi smiled slightly and walked to Shen Wen's side.
Shen Wen took Su Wanxi's hand lovingly: "I'm a lot haggard...... I miss you very much if I don't see you every other day. β
Su Wanxi smiled lightly: "The concubine also misses the emperor very much, and she misses it to the bone, so she has to return." β
Shen Wen was very happy when he heard Su Wanxi say this.
Su Wanxi knew Shen Wen's situation now, and there were no people around him who he could trust, so he would cherish the people who were good to him.
"Concubine Su, this palace misses you too!" said jokingly next to him.
Su Wanxi looked at her worries, after giving birth to a child, she was a little more bloated than before, but she was still beautiful and charming.
"What about the little prince?" asked Su Wanxi suspiciously.
"In Ciyuan Palace, the nurse will take it, will you go over with me to have a look?"
"That's naturally going to see the little prince. β
Shen Wen looked at Su Wanxi and Wangwu with relief, and sighed: "It would be great if the entire harem could be like you and sisters......
Forget the worry and take the words: "The emperor can rest assured, the concubine is now in charge of the harem, and the emperor's ideals will be realized." β
The emperor nodded: "Come, Concubine Ai, sit down and talk to me well." β
Su Wanxi sat next to Shen Wen, raised her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to tell you." β
Shen Wen looked at Su Wanxi suspiciously: "But it's okay to talk about it." β
On the side, Forget Worry also looked at Su Wanxi with curiosity, not knowing how she would take the next step when she came back this time.
Su Wanxi's face was solemn: "Concubine...... The concubine met Wan Qi Yifan who worshiped the Buddha in Baolun Temple. β
Shen Wen is no stranger to this name: "Wan Qi Dongfang's son of that old fox...... Shen Wen muttered, and asked Su Wanxi again, "What's wrong?"
Su Wanxi hurriedly got up and knelt down, and Shen Wen and Forget Worry were taken aback.
"Concubine Ai has something to say. Shen Wen hurriedly helped Su Wanxi up distressedly.
