Chapter 40 The road is narrow
The undercurrent of Jingyang Hall ended, and the palace that was still lively just now returned to silence, leaving only light smoke curling in the smoker. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu Yingying looked around, only to see the drapery ghosting, the tables and chairs heavy. Jingyang Palace is always so deserted most of the time, the emperor does not come often, and the concubines come to intrigue. She felt like a weed in her heart, desolate before it bloomed.
There is a short distance from Jingyang Palace back to Dexi Palace, and the master and servant walk on weekdays. Su Yue looked at Shen Wanyi's little face and didn't say a word, knowing that she was still angry about the incident of Fang Cai's shirt. Su Yue was taught in the master's mother's room since she was a child, and grew up with Shen Wanyi, she knew the master's heart best, and she had to step forward and take the initiative to admit her mistakes to Shen Wanyi.
"It's all the slave's fault, and the slave and maid are negligent, so that the master will be squeezed by others."
Seeing that she was so loyal, Shen Wanyi felt that it was difficult to talk about her, and helped her up softly and comforted: "Actually, it's none of your business, Concubine Rong doesn't like me, no matter what I do, she can find the fault." ”
Su Yue said at the right time: "Master, don't be frustrated, the reason why Concubine Rong doesn't like you is nothing more than jealousy that you have won the emperor's favor." At the moment, her position is higher than yours, and we can't help him, but if you are pregnant with the emperor's dragon heir, let her ten honorary concubines, and never want to shake you in the future. ”
Shen Wanyi frowned and was silent, and Su Yue continued: "The slave knows that the master is depressed in your heart, but are you worthy of this, master? Don't say that the man has turned around and married another, even if it is waiting for you, do you still have a chance to go out in this life? The days in the palace are long, and you should also plan for your future. What's more, according to the slave maid, the emperor is the king of the world, heroic and extraordinary, and he really likes you, you should seize the opportunity. ”
The words that made Shen Wanyi even more melancholy and thoughtful. Su Yue saw that it was almost over, so she didn't say much, coaxing her not to go back to Dexi Palace first, and go to the imperial garden to relax.
The emperor's imperial garden is magnificent and spacious, gathering the world's strange flowers and plants, strange stones and rare trees. At this time of year, the grass is lush and the flowers are blooming, which is the most suitable for a stroll in the garden. Before Shen Wanyi entered the palace, she loved to play very much, and she was most afraid of being bored in the room, but since she entered the palace, her heart was difficult to solve, and she never paid good attention to the scenery outside, and she rarely set foot in the imperial garden. Today, under the guidance of Su Yue, I walked at will, and I felt that there were scenes everywhere, stepping into the painting, and I forgot to return for a while, and I didn't feel tired. And Su Yue was also very proud to see that her master had a rare opening of her heart and restored her daughter's liveliness and brightness.
The two walked around, crossed the mountain and crossed the bridge, and did not know where they came, only to see a rockery in front of them, the mountain was planted with Chaoyan vine, the leaves were large and lush, the flowers were bright and beautiful, there were more than a dozen kinds of counting, and the climbing was entangled and covered with most of the mountain. Shen Wanyi said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's morning, if it's afternoon, where can I see such colorful colors." ”
Su Yue was also amazed: "It's the first time for a slave to see so many colors of morning glory, oh my God, the palace is so good, since the slave and maid followed the master into the palace, it was an eye-opener." ”
"Morning glory? We all call it Chaoyanhua. ”
"Chaoyan Chaoyan, Chaokai noon, or the name taken by the scholar is good, the slave is a countryman, we in the countryside call it morning glory, there are many in the mountains, and it is all over the ground in summer, but it is not as beautiful as in the palace." Su Yue seemed to open the conversation, and her eyes lit up with excitement. In fact, she was sold into the Shen Mansion at a very young age, and there are not many memories of her childhood, so every bit feels particularly beautiful and precious.
"Yo, is there no one in the Marquis Mansion of Ningguo? The dignified Shen Wanyi, the one brought into the palace to serve is actually such a country girl, who has never seen the world as a slave, no wonder the master will only follow suit. Zhao Deyi walked out from the other side of the rockery and sneered as he walked.
"It doesn't matter if I'm good or not, but Zhao Deyi's ability to listen quietly across the wall is extremely good!" Shen Wanyi fought back without showing weakness.
"Are you saying that Hongu is eavesdropping too?" Concubine Rong slowly appeared from behind the rockery, accompanied by Concubine Xiu and several palace maids.
It's really a narrow road, Shen Wanyi didn't expect Concubine Rong to be there, and the good mood that was not easy to find back was destroyed as soon as she saw her. Shen Wanyi bowed her head and bent over, and saluted Concubine Rong and Concubine Xiu helplessly: "Concubine Rong has seen Concubine Rong and Concubine Xiu. ”
Concubine Rong didn't plan to let her go, Zhao Deyi continued to fan the flames: "It's okay for Shen Wanyi to slander the concubine, but Concubine Rong and Concubine Xiu are here, is it possible that where you Shen Wanyi comes, no one else can come, otherwise it's eavesdropping and peeking?" ”
Shen Wanyi replied coldly: "Deyi can't misinterpret the meaning of concubines. Since Niangniang is here to enjoy the flowers, the concubines will not bother, Su Yue, let's go. ”
"Stop." Concubine Rong drank her unhappily: "Shen Wanyi is really getting bigger and bigger, it seems that if this palace wants to talk to Shen Wanyi in the future, it depends on Shen Wanyi's mood." ”
Shen Wanyi turned around helplessly and said to Concubine Rong: "Niangniang's words are serious, and the concubine doesn't dare." ”
"What would she not dare? Niangniang, the concubine heard that Shen Wanyi was going to be promoted to the concubine position soon, no wonder, even dressing up was going to look like Niangniang, it seems that she can't wait to be on an equal footing with Niangniang. Zhao Deyi is yin and yang, every word reveals sarcasm and jealousy of Shen Wanyi, she thinks that her figure and appearance are not inferior to others, but she has been in the palace for 4 years, but she is still not embarrassed or embarrassed, the world is really unfair, why can she Shen Rushuang be promoted from Wanyi to concubine after entering the palace for less than a year?
Concubine Rong's eyes were like knives, and she fell coldly on Shen Wanyi's face, wanting to be on an equal footing with herself, is she worthy? Shen Wanyi stood in place, watching Concubine Rong pacing in circles around her, as if she was looking at an object she didn't like, with a look of disgust, as if she could be pushed down and smashed anytime and anywhere.
"Rong Concubine Niangniang Mingjian, the master's dress is responsible for the slave and maid on weekdays, and it is the slave and maid who are negligent, so that the master will wear clothes of the same color as the mother, please don't blame my master, please punish the slave and the slave." Su Yue couldn't help it, and knelt forward to speak for Shen Wanyi.
"Shut up, Niangniang and Shen Wanyi are talking, when will it be your turn to be a slave to interject!" Xia Chun, who was beside Concubine Rong, scolded loudly, raised her hand and slapped Su Yue twice, she started quickly and ruthlessly, and 5 finger prints immediately appeared on Su Yue's fair face, red and swollen, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth.
Shen Wanyi was so angry that she trembled all over, she couldn't hold it anymore, and scolded Xia Chun angrily: "Su Yue is the concubine's slave, even if she is at fault, it is me, the master, who will punish her, why are you beating her?" ”
"When the dignity of the slave and maid is unknown, it is the master's discipline that has no way, and Aunt Xia Chun of this palace teaches her a lesson for Shen Wanyi, so as not to make you ascend to the throne in the future and be ridiculed for not knowing the rules in the emperor's harem. What's the matter, Shen Wanyi has an opinion? Concubine Rong's gaze is aggressive, her father's official residence is a good grade, and the power of her mother's family is only higher than that of the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion, she Yang Jinrong has been arrogant since she was a child, and her father will try to help her get it no matter what she wants. She always thought that the emperor doted on her and loved her, as long as she gave birth to the prince in time, even the most honorable position was not so far away from her, but the appearance of Shen Rushuang easily took away the emperor's favor for her, and she actually wanted to make her a concubine, how could she not hate it to the bone? !
