109. Chapter 107
"If you say this, the concubine will be at ease. The queen is the mother of a country, and the health of the phoenix is the top priority, so this service must not be sloppy. β
"Concubine Yuan, rest assured, the queen has Jiaofang His Royal Highness waiting for her, and she won't make a mistake."
Shen Shuzhao listened like a pins and needles, the change of the eldest sister was too different from her old temperament, and the opposite side was the camp of the Xiao Mansion that had been with the Shen Mansion for a long time - in normal terms, because the eldest sister was the daughter of the Shen family, she would naturally be confronted by them, and the eldest sister would return it without falling behind-so now such a scene is really rare.
When the Queen Mother was helped out from behind the curtain, everyone stopped gossiping and got up to salute her. In the following hours, the eldest sister was left and right, showing the style of the concubine of the family, and her freshness and beauty overshadowed most of the concubines who followed the rules, and in the eyes of the queen mother, even the queen's henchmen were forced by her momentum to say nothing else, so she began to look at this delicate niece again.
Shen Zhuangzhao learned that the Queen Mother was watching in secret, so he chatted closely with the palace concubines. Yesterday, she reached an agreement with the queen that they would never have any confrontation head-on until Shen Shuzhao fell, and the environment left for her to have a respite from supporting her own forces. All those who belong to the Queen Mother - she has to pull back from Shen Shuzhao's side!
For the thoughts in her heart, why didn't Shen Shuzhao notice it? She silently picked up a fruit and swallowed it, she wanted to see how Shen Zhuang Zhao could change.
"Hey, good concubine," Shen Zhuangzhao, who was wearing gorgeous makeup, suddenly mentioned the name of this little concubine, this seemed to be the first time she mentioned her, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Yuan mentioned the past, they wouldn't have looked at the concubine at all, Shen Zhuangzhao's eyes went back and forth between her sideburns and Zhuyu, "Your clothes today...... It makes you whiter. β
"Where, where, Concubine Yuan is too elevated as a concubine." There was still a touch of red in the rouge on the scarlet face of the good concubine.
Shen Zhuangzhao approached and took her hand, "What this palace said is the truth. Sisters, look at the good concubine's appearance today, is it more beautiful than in the sun? β
The people around him attached their heads one after another, and the good concubine was embarrassed to retreat again and again, "With the mother in front, how dare the concubine be praised for her appearance?" β
Shen Zhuang Zhao saw that she was sensible, so he said: "This is all a trivial matter, you are very suitable for this kind of dress, there are a lot of pearl and jade jewelry similar to this in this palace, I can't use it up alone, it's a pity to keep it and waste it, why don't my sister come to sit in the Chengqian Palace in a few days, so that the palace can dress up for you once?" β
The good concubine looked happy, "The concubine thanked the mother." β
Shen Shuzhao's heart is very uncomfortable, anyone can be borrowed by her, but the concubine cannot, she is so simple, Shen Zhuangzhao can be coaxed away if he shows favor a few times, although he used to be very uncomfortable with the good concubine sticking to himself, but this woman is innocent and cute, and time is running out, if she follows the eldest sister in the future, will she still have to watch her fall from the back of her youth with a cold eye?
With the good concubine winning this honor, the other queen mother's henchmen and concubines all sighed in their hearts: Concubine Yuan is no longer as unattainable as in the past, it turns out that she also has such a kind time.
"But...... Will the concubine disturb the mother's rest? β
"The good concubine is so beautiful, it's too late for the palace to pity, how can she be disturbed?" Shen Shuzhao said. After finishing speaking, she glanced at Shen Shuzhao deeply, as if declaring war. As we all know, Concubine Liang is the concubine who seems to be closest to her, although the real situation is that Concubine Liang has a strong dependence on Shen Shuzhao inexplicably, so she often follows her. Under the provocation of the eldest sister's gaze, Shen Shuzhao couldn't bear it anymore, and said directly: "Sister Liang, the concubine remembers that the flowers planted in the east of Bailu Palace are going to bloom for the last time, just this time, don't miss it." β
"Flowers bloom, old don't go, new doesn't come." Shen Zhuang Zhao said, "So, good concubine, you should go with the palace." β
"A good concubine is naturally beautiful, she is beautiful enough without powder, no matter how new and beautiful the clothes are, she still has to be good-looking, and the mother just said that she is more beautiful than usual, is it saying that these are just relying on the merits of Zhuyu?"
Shen Shuzhao and Shen Zhuangzhao were completely on the bar, and the good concubine was caught in the middle, she was puzzled, what kind of situation was this? At this time, the queen and the concubines of Concubine Xi's forces hid their faces and chuckled, and everyone knew that the Shen sisters' disagreement was well known, and everyone was happy to see it whenever they clashed.
"Sister, when will those flowers in your palace bloom?" The concubine timidly began to change the subject.
"In a few days."
"Won't it take a long time?" Shen Zhuangzhao answered, "Good concubines can come to the palace at any time, so let's go to the palace first." β
Shen Shuzhao helplessly looked at the good concubine and nodded with a smile, no matter how much she stopped it, she couldn't let the good concubine who wanted to go to the eldest sister's palace not go, she didn't say much, and silently watched the good concubine follow Shen Zhuangzhao away. When the morning province dispersed, in front of the Yongshou Palace, Shen Zhuang Zhao generously left with his concubine. This back was extremely dazzling in Shen Shuzhao's eyes.
"What do you look back at?" Shen Zhuangzhao asked casually from his seat.
Concubine Liang replied softly and honestly: "The concubine is afraid that Concubine Shen will be ......lonely if she goes back alone."
"It's not that there are no palace people with you." Shen Zhuangzhao was dissatisfied.
The good concubine saw her displeasure and quickly apologized: "Concubine Yuan forgives the concubine, and the concubine has no other meaning." β
"Okay, don't talk about that. Think more about what colors you like, there are so many things in the library of this palace that you will only be dazzled by the picking. Although Shen Zhuangzhao didn't like the little jasper breath on the concubine, in order to deliberately anger Shen Shuzhao, she still greeted her with a smile. The good concubine nodded in fear and said no more.
After saying this, Shen Zhuangzhao lost the interest in chatting with her, she lined her cheeks boringly, and no longer looked at the boring little woman around her, to be honest, she would rather be with someone like the queen who is always fresh than stay with this person who is honest in the rules. Wait a minute...... Can she think of an example, why is it the queen? Shen Zhuangzhao was panicked by his subconscious thoughts, no, he had to get rid of these thoughts. She clenched her sleeves.
The car drove towards the Chengqian Palace.
Came to the dormitory, the good concubine was shocked by Shen Zhuangzhao's atmosphere, and with a wave of her hand, the pearl jade that her eyes stayed for three seconds was given to herself. The good concubine picked it up and looked left and right, her face full of surprise. Shen Zhuangzhao looked at her like this, and felt disdainful, but he thought that she was the first person to take refuge in the past after Shen Shuzhao entered the palace, and the relationship must be deeper than that of other concubines, so she still got along hypocritically.
The two spent an afternoon together, Shen Zhuangzhao not only dressed up the concubine, but also pulled her hair as close as a friend.
At night, the concubine's foot only left the Chengqian Palace, and it seemed that nothing major had happened during this period.
After walking a long way, when he was about to reach his palace, the maidservant of the good concubine outside the country said: "Concubine Yuan is really generous......
Hearing this, the concubine was silent.
The maid said again: "This box full of pearls and jade hairpins is really heavy, after you go back, you have to find a good place to lock it up, Niangniang, where do you say the slave and maid are good?" β
"Dark room."
"Whatβthe darkroom?" The maid's eyes widened, and she said unconvinced, "But ...... It's a place to store things that aren't used in the library!"
A strange chill flashed in the eyes of the concubine in the thick curtain, "Well, just put it there." β
The maidservant couldn't see the appearance of the master inside clearly, so she had to ask puzzledly, "Why did the mother do this?" β
"Those pearls and jades are just the charity of the great family's "not eating minced meat". For the declining harem concubines, giving power is the most direct way, just like what Concubine Shen did at the beginning. Concubine Yuan...... Sure enough, she is still a woman who has just stepped into the harem. The good concubine half-closed her eyes and said meaningfully. On her sideburns, there were many precious hairpins given to her by Shen Zhuangzhao, all of which were shining in the dark. The concubine stretched out her hand, and her slender fingers took it off one by one. "This palace is a palace concubine, not a beggar......"
Her tone was so cold that it was like two people as usual, and the maid outside the step was startled, and the master was angry?
But after that, a gentle voice like water came from the step behind the deep curtain, which quickly diluted her doubts - "Yu'er, this palace suddenly doesn't want to go back to the palace." β
"What's wrong with the mother?"
"This palace wants to go to Bailu Palace to see Concubine Shen, this palace is dressed up so beautifully today, I want her to see it."
"Okay, turn around and go to the White Dew Palace-!" The eunuch quickly turned around and turned around, and after the maid finished shouting, she turned her head to the concubine and smiled: "Niangniang really still likes Concubine Shen a little." β
"Don't you ......" Concubine Liang played with the beautiful and sharp hosta in the dark, "Bengong likes her the most." β
