In the courtyard of the Shen Mansion, which was second only to the old lady's courtyard, the eldest lady led everyone to the stone steps in front of the inner room, and suddenly she turned her head sideways and scolded Shen Xiaozhao with a stern face: "I don't need to say more, it's time to kneel two pillars of incense outside!" ”

Shen Xiaozhao looked scared, but still knelt down slowly.

She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the eyes of the eldest lady, this matter was all her fault, those subordinates were found by herself, and they were all lying in the name of the eldest lady.

Shen Xiaozhao thought that this matter would be foolproof, and the reason why she asked Bi'er to do this was precisely to prevent Shen Shuzhao from being suspicious of the personal maid next to her, otherwise all the people arranged by the eldest lady would be in danger, so she deliberately let Bi'er be seen by Shen Shuzhao walking around the courtyard alone at night.

It's good now, originally she allowed Bi'er to do something, and let her quietly dismiss her in the name of the eldest lady, but Bi'er was taken away by Shen Taisheng, and the two first-class maids that the eldest lady had worked hard to install before also compensated for it, Shen Xiaozhao was suddenly full of sadness, this time the eldest lady's trust in herself is definitely gone.

The eldest lady's eyes were like cold blades at this time, staring gloomily at Shen Xiaozhao's humble expression, then she shook her head and led Shen Zhuang Zhao and a handmaid into the inner room.

When the eldest lady entered the inner room, Shen Xiaozhao raised his lowered eyes to look at the eldest sister Shen Zhuangzhao in front, and after the two looked at each other, Shen Zhuangzhao turned around and quickly followed the pace of the eldest lady, leaving Shen Xiaozhao to kneel on the cold ground, looking thoughtfully at the darkness inside the door.

In the room, the eldest lady reclined on her wooden chair and let several maidservants press her temples to relieve her tension and frustration at the height of the day.

The room was filled with the soothing smell of agarwood incense, and the eldest lady fell into a calm, she slowly picked up the small target mirror on the table, and carefully examined her own appearance in the mirror, but even if the original beauty was properly maintained, she could still see the subtle wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

The eldest lady took a deep breath, she is old, she is really old, and for more than 20 years, she has never missed a hand in asking herself.

This Shen Mansion is not big, there is always a young and beautiful Yingying Yanyan around her husband Shen Taisheng, there have been a group of concubines in and a group of concubines, after all, only himself is the last laugh in this mansion, but today ...... But she lost, and her plan was beaten up before she even started.

Obviously, yesterday's words of affection and reason for her husband have moved him, and when he enters the palace, he will only let Zhuang Zhao and Xiaozhao go, who would have thought that Xiaozhao, a girl, would be afraid that Shuzhao would snatch her position after entering the palace, and design to frame the second girl!

What a mess!

Could it be that Xiao Zhao thought that he had fallen behind the old lady in front of Shuzhao, so there was no way to prevent a person from being born as a concubine from entering the palace? What's more, it is understandable that the identity of the concubine does not enter the palace, and Shen Taisheng has already agreed......

The eldest lady sighed, beckoned Shen Zhuang Zhaodu to come over, and then gently held one of her daughter's hands, and said to her kindly: "Tomorrow when you enter the palace, be more restrained, don't do nonsense like your third sister like today, no matter how the queen mother chooses a palace concubine for the emperor, she will not let the two of you under my name choose not to choose, to choose the daughter of a concubine." You have seen her interests today, and you should be more wary of her in the future. ”

Shen Zhuangzhao nodded, her eyes flashed with faint tears, she held her mother's hand and said sincerely: "My daughter will not forget her mother's sustenance." ”

"Grandma still has to teach you a little more," the eldest lady said slowly, "Don't be suspicious of people, the second girl can be calculated by me, that's because she is too suspicious of people, she is good to people on the surface but never asks, I just use the hook to lightly catch the people around her and all the people around her will be hooked." So after you enter the palace, remember not to forget to win people's hearts. ”

"My daughter knows."

After hearing this, the eldest lady nodded with great satisfaction: "You can enter the palace to serve the queen mother with peace of mind, as for the affairs in this house, the second girl is not in this courtyard, what can my mother do...... That's a lot. ”

For a while, the sorrow of miscalculation turned into a cloud of smoke, and the joy of the victorious people was only fleeting, after all, for the people of the Shen Mansion, entering the palace to see the Queen Mother tomorrow was the top priority, and the days of wind and waves they really wanted to live were still to come.

In the middle of the night, a gust of cold wind blew through the sky, rolling up the fallen leaves in the courtyard of the Shen Mansion and escaping from the four corners of the world, sending them to the boundless distance.

In the distance, in a deep mountain, a large army was hurrying on horseback on one avenue, while on the other was a small group of soldiers escorting a small group of soldiers, galloping along the different branches.

Everyone in the team, dressed in heavy golden armor and masks, covered their figures, and ran deep into the forest, and a huge temple loomed in the woods high up on the opposite side of the road.

Heavy open flames, wide open temple gates, flickering light and darkness, all the monks at the door to greet the procession that came at night.

A nun, who looked highly respected, took the lead in bowing and said to the strongest man in front of her, "The poor nun is here to welcome the eldest princess Kunyi. ”

The person on the opposite side took off his helmet, raised his head sideways, and the slightly fluffy green silk instantly poured into his waist, only to see that her eyebrows were like a new sword, her eyes were calm, and her expression was so indifferent that she seemed to be a person who hurried through the clouds of smoke from someone's past, and there was a mole near the dimple on the left side of her face, but it added a ruffian to her cold eyes.

She rolled off her horse, and the followers behind her dismounted.

The eldest princess Wei Yang came to the elderly nun and said, "There is Master Lao Qingxin. ”

"Amitabha, everything has been taken care of, and the princess doesn't need to worry about it."

The nuns on the side quickly stepped forward to pull these war horses into the stables in the distance, the breeze was blowing, the bamboo leaves were crumbling, Wei Yang was dressed in gold armor and combat boots, holding a gold-plated heavy helmet, although he still seemed to have energy, but still revealed a trace of fatigue from the journey.

The group of soldiers behind her began to remove their helmets one by one, revealing their long flowing hair, an army of women.

Mrs. Qingxin looked at the women's army in front of her, and bowed her head without changing her face and said, "Please follow the poor nuns into the temple." ”

This group of high-spirited female soldiers entered the temple with the monks, and the candlelight in the courtyard was only enough to slightly illuminate the road in front of them, and it was also because they did not want to be noticed by people outside the temple as much as possible.

In the long night, in the bright inner room, Master Qingxin and other old nuns led Wei Yang to the bathing room, and the bright candle flame was refracted on Wei Yang's armor, which was a little dazzling for a while, and several little nuns subconsciously blinked a few times.

After that, all the old nuns respectfully withdrew, leaving only some new sisters-in-law to serve the eldest princess to bathe.

It wasn't until she took off her robes that Wei Yang finally revealed the womanly body inside her armor, but the white cloth wrapped tightly around the princess's chest still wore off most of her feminine features.

A nun of about seventeen wanted to untie it, Wei Yang suddenly pressed her wrist that was stopped in mid-air, and at this time, the black and soft green silk gently slid to her chest, Wei Yang looked at the other party's eyes, and said in a kind tone: "No need, all retreat." ”

At this time, the soft ends of her hair swept on the back of the little nun's hand, making it a little itchy, and the little nun quickly withdrew the hand that was holding her wrist, and honestly lowered her head and withdrew with the others.

In the room, the moment the door was closed, only the princess was left combing long green silk in front of the small mirror on the ground.

And the little nun outside the door could only keep her head down for a long time, and when she took some time to calm her heartbeat, she followed the others to the corridor.

At this time, a very young nun suddenly spoke: "It's really beautiful! ”

Everyone else nodded, no more than that.

"Our temple is now a great nobleman, how to say that it is also expensive, I heard that there are forbidden troops secretly protecting it around these days."

A nun who looked to be around twenty-five whispered to her surroundings, and then she turned her head to look at the seventeen-year-old new nun next to her, and asked suspiciously, "By the way, why is your face so red?" ”

The little nun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly returned: "It's a little stuffy inside, just come out." ”

"Then you have to pay more attention to rest."

"You've just come to the temple, and there's still a lot to do at first, but ......"

A few nuns chatted like this while walking on the way to meet the teacher.

Outside the temple, in the moonlit forest, under the cover of darkness, the black-clothed men hidden in the trees stood motionless on the branches, closely watching every move in the temple in the distance.

A few hours later, the candlelight in the temple gradually faded, and when it was time to fall asleep, Wei Yang pushed open the paper window, and the sparse moonlight suddenly fell on her white clothes, as if embroidered with silver jasmine, clear and beautiful.

She glanced up at the full moon above, then cast her gaze into the forest in the distance, where a small carrier pigeon grazed her chest and flew into the quiet woods in the distance.

The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and rushed freely, then slowly slowed down and stopped on the shoulders of one of the black-clad men in the trees, who had long hair tied up in a ponytail, revealing only a pair of piercing and beautiful eyes, and a tear mole under his left eye.

The woman in black took down the letter tied to the pigeon's feet, read it, with a smile in her eyes, and then quickly asked the nearest person next to her to write four pieces of paper, tied them to the four larger carrier pigeons, and with a wave of her hand, the four carrier pigeons flew towards the place in Kyoto until they disappeared into the sky.
