After visiting the temple, Shen Yu was accompanied by Xu Yan into the palace, and first went to Concubine Cui's Yongfu Palace to meet her.

This is the second time that Shen Yu has stepped into Yongfu Palace, and the last time her grandmother accompanied her in, she thought at first that Concubine Cui was really interested in the overprinted book, but later realized that Concubine Cui just wanted to take the opportunity to take a look.

I still remember Concubine Cui's eyes and attitude that day, and Shen Yan was not very comfortable. However, she is Xu Yan's biological mother and the master of this harem, no matter what her selfishness is, she always has to play a respectful attitude.

The queen mother has long passed away, and the concubine is the emperor's adoptive mother, so the etiquette when visiting is naturally grand. Shen Yu became the royal daughter-in-law, and after three buckles and nine bows, Concubine Cui asked her to get up, and the smile on her face was a little reluctant, "From Luling to the capital, you can get used to it." ”

"Thanks to the care of the concubine, I am used to it." Shen Yan frowned respectfully.

"Lao Wu is busy with affairs on weekdays, and the affairs in the palace can't be taken care of, since you have married in, you should help him share his worries." Concubine Cui sat on the customary beauty couch, raised her hand and raised her glass, her eyes drifted past Shen Yan and fell on Xu Yan, "He is not young, he has been delayed for so many years to marry, I don't look forward to anything else here, I just look forward to the heir." ”

She said it bluntly, Shen Yu couldn't help blushing slightly, lowered her head and didn't speak.

The phoenix tail tassel swayed in her ears, and the gorgeous crown dress was on her body, which couldn't help but remind Concubine Cui of Lu Roujia. After all, it is a girl who has been selected with great painstaking efforts, and Concubine Cui feels somewhat regretful - if this princess's outfit is worn on that girl's body, I am afraid that it will also be bright and shiny, right?

In fact, even if she is not a concubine, the side concubine of the palace is not like the concubine room of ordinary people, she also has a grade, and when the time comes, let Rou Jia be the side concubine, in fact, it is the same. Although the names of the side rooms are different, the family background is there, with Lu Roujia's life experience, as long as he has the opportunity to have more contact with Xu Yan, can't he catch his heart?

Concubine Cui comforted herself like this, and she felt a lot more relieved.

"Look at your thin body, go back and ask the doctor to take a look and take care of your body." Concubine Cui still had such a faint smile on her face, no closeness, and no alienation, "The princess is different from ordinary people, she has to learn the proportions of her actions, the tone of her speech, and the etiquette of dealing with people. ”

Although the words were gentle, they were harsh to hear, and Xu Yan couldn't help frowning.

Let Mama call her etiquette, does it mean that Shen Yu doesn't understand the rules and can't speak?

He married her as a princess, not to let her learn those etiquette, but to bind her.

"The concubine is too worried." Xu Yan turned sideways, subconsciously protecting Shen Yan's posture, "My son has always been dislike restraint, and Grandma is also very sensible, so it's good to have Mama Kang next to her." ”

Concubine Cui was not very happy, "I used to you before, but I can't be casual anymore after getting married!" The rules that should be there still have to be established, otherwise what will it become! ”

In fact, there was nothing wrong with what she said, and Shen Yan hurriedly responded: "The concubine taught, the sons remembered it, and it is always beneficial to ask Mama Kang for advice in the future." ”

Concubine Cui loved to listen to this, and when she saw her son defending her daughter-in-law like that, she knew that he was not close to her, and she was a little depressed in her heart, so she asked them to go to the emperor.

Emperor Huiping and Empress Huiping were in the Zhaoren Palace. Because of the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Wei in the morning, Emperor Huiping's face was not very good-looking, but fortunately, Empress Huo did not add fuel to the fire and never mentioned Jiang Xun's matter, but took out a famous painting that Huo Taifu had recently found, and the husband and wife appreciated it.

When Xu Yan and Shen Yan entered, the emperor and queen were standing side by side, looking at the harmonious appearance of the back.

However, when he saw Shen Yu, Emperor Huiping involuntarily moved to the side, as if he was subconsciously keeping a distance from the queen. He sat down, greeted him, and then asked for a seat.

No one else paid attention to this action, but Queen Huo really felt it. There was a sneer in her eyes, but there was a joke in her mouth, "I still don't marry a wife in my life, I want to fight a bachelor, it turns out that fate has arrived, and I still can't stop it." ”

"The mother laughed." Xu Yan's face was serious.

Empress Huo set her eyes on Shen Yu, "Princess Duan looks young, but this palace heard that you have come up with a method of overprinting, it must be a family history?" ”

"The mother is overrated." Shen Yan smiled, "It's just a mistake, and it's a false praise." ”

"That's not a compliment." Emperor Huiping said next to him, "I have also tried this method in prison before, but I have not been able to do it well, but you printed it there, and you have a clear and unique mind, which shows that it is still different from ordinary people." ”

Shen Yu was very ashamed, she didn't come up with this set of printing methods by herself, and now she is really ashamed to take all the credit.

However, the queen above spoke again, "I heard that Princess Duan's maternal ancestor is Meng Ge Lao of the previous dynasty, and she must be knowledgeable, no wonder Princess Duan's behavior is not so restrained, unlike other small jasper from poor rural areas." ”

No matter how respectful Shen Yu was, she was a little displeased when she heard the words, but she didn't expect the queen of the world to be so magnanimous.

The queen was happy to say that she could make Meng Shu's daughter deflated, and she was willing to say anything ugly.

So she pursed her lips and smiled, the meaning of the smile was inexplicable, "I heard that Ling Tangyuan married someone else, and I thought that she didn't like the prosperity of the capital and was willing to hide in the market, but now it seems that I was wrong." After all, it's not the daughter of the old pavilion in the past, the years are gone, things are warm and cold, this is unparalleled wealth, who can not be tempted by it. ”

"People have their own aspirations, and their pursuits are different." Xu Yan said coldly.

He and Queen Huo didn't deal with each other in the first place, but Queen Huo didn't even want to be perfunctory, and directly targeted Shen Yan's family background, so he was not willing to bear it.

Emperor Huiping knew that he was tired, and he was also a little embarrassed. But he was sitting here, but Queen Huo didn't even care about his face, which was really excessive, so he glanced at Queen Huo, and her eyes were very unhappy.

Queen Huo didn't seem to be aware, she just lowered her head and drank tea.

Emperor Huiping then stood up, "I heard that Princess Duan likes to collect books, but there are a lot of them hidden in the Wende Palace, and the fifth brother may not like the things I rewarded, so it is better for you to pick some of them and make them a wedding gift." ”

"There are treasures in the Wende Palace, and the royal brother is not afraid of being robbed of love?"

Emperor Huiping smiled generously, "It's rare that you marry the princess seriously, and I have to endure the pain of cutting my love once." ”

Xu Yan knew that this was Emperor Huiping supporting Shen Fei, and he was very grateful, so he took Shen Fei to bid farewell to Empress Huo, and he was going to go out with Emperor Huiping.

Empress Huo still had a calm look on her face, and when she raised her eyes, her face was still charming, and she said slowly: "Fifth brother stays." On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the concubine wanted to set up a vegetarian banquet in the palace to bathe the Buddha, and many people would be summoned. Saying that, she deliberately looked at Shen Yan, "Princess Duan is not familiar with the people in the palace, so she must come." ”

"Thanks to the mother's love," Shen Yu did not avoid her gaze, "The concubine obeys." ”

So he said goodbye and left the Zhaoren Palace, and went to the Wende Hall to choose books together. Of course, it was full of treasures, Shen Yan didn't dare to move, so she just picked two books, but Xu Yan took the opportunity to open his mouth and chose seven or eight books that had been coveted before, which made Emperor Huiping very helpless.

When the husband and wife left the palace, Shen Yan fell on Xu Yan's body, only feeling a sore neck.

"It's so tiring to hold your neck, why is Your Highness still in good spirits?"

"I'm used to it. After enduring this period of time, if you can push the matter of entering the palace in the future, you can print the book according to the book list in my house, and I will find a way to take you to Mobei for a trip, and I will not be afraid of these false courtesies. ”

"Don't be so blunt." Shen Yan grinned and buried her head in his shoulder socket.

I have been in contact with Xu Yan a lot, and I know that he doesn't like these false courtesies, and he doesn't want her to be bound. But Xu Yan is considerate, but she can't follow the willfulness-

Before marrying into the Duanwang Mansion, she had already thought about the problems she might face, the treacherous court, the cumbersome etiquette, and the unpredictable people's hearts...... Everything she doesn't like, but now that she's made up her mind, how can she escape now?

She has a limited family background and can't help Xu Yan much, but she can't hold him back and cause trouble for him in these matters.

"Actually, there is no need to shirk, I am not a delicate flower who can't withstand the wind and rain, just practice a few more times." Shen Yan noticed that Xu Yan's hand began to move restlessly on her, and hurriedly grabbed it in her hand and pressed it, "Your Highness is in the royal family, and you can't avoid it." ”

"I'm just afraid that you will be wronged." Xu Yan picked her up and let her sit on his lap, "Mr. Shen and Shen Ming both love you so much, they are reluctant to say a word, they are here to come, although outsiders are not enough to worry about, the concubine and the imperial sister-in-law can't be too wanton." He pecked her on the lips, "I promised Mr. Shen to take good care of you and never be wronged, so why don't you find an excuse to run away that day?" ”

"Is this okay?" Shen Yu was surprised.

"Not once or twice." Xu Yanhun didn't care, "I'm acting uninhibited, my princess should naturally be the same, who dares to say that we?" ”

Shen Yu imagined that she followed Xu Yan to escape from the table and run to the wild to be at ease, and couldn't help but laugh and tremble in his arms. But this is the right matter, she doesn't want to back down, "This is the first time, how can I refute the face of the concubine and the queen." Hmm, Your Highness isn't worried about me getting into trouble, is he? ”

"What can you cause trouble?" Xu Yan bit her lip lightly, "As long as you don't really conflict with the concubine, the rest, whoever you provoke." ”

"What about the Queen?" Because of Huo Zongyuan's matter, Shen Yu could roughly guess that there might be a discord between Xu Yan and Empress Huo, but today, Empress Huo spoke like that, which was completely unexpected by Shen Fei-

Doesn't it mean that these people like to beat around the bush when they speak, stabbing people without seeing blood? Why didn't Queen Huo hide it at all? At that time, Emperor Huiping's displeased gaze even saw it.

Xu Yan's movements were stunned, "The queen, I won't care about it before, but today's ......" He looked down at Shen Yan, "My mother-in-law didn't have a grudge with the queen before she went to Wuchuan, right?" ”

"There shouldn't be, otherwise my mother would definitely tell me." Shen Yu was suspicious.

That's strange, Xu Yan twisted his eyebrows. In the past, although he didn't deal with Queen Huo, Queen Huo blew the pillow wind behind her back at most, and she still talked with a gentle smile in person, showing the demeanor of the mother of the country. But when she talks like that today, it really doesn't fit the style of her daily life.
