120: Resolved
Yi Qinglan's mood seems to be very good today, even if there is such a small episode as Concubine Qin, it can't stop the smile on his face, but it makes Shen Niannian quite surprised.
She had heard Lan Yuwen say that Yi Qinglan hated entering the palace the most.
But after returning from the palace today, he is in a good mood, is there something good that can't be done?
It's just that although Shen Niannian was puzzled, he didn't ask these questions.
Although she has also had some feelings with Yi Qinglan these days, she still can't get used to it if she really relies on this man who is more than a year younger than herself.
Even though she knew that Yi Qinglan was too obsessed with herself and would not hurt herself, Shen Niannian still had a hint of uneasiness in her heart, and even she didn't notice this panic and uneasiness herself.
Therefore, even if they are close, there is always a faint layer of separation between the two.
Yi Qinglan accompanied her to dinner, and it didn't take long for Shen Niannian to wash up and sleep.
All the way, although it was a carriage, but still felt tired, after Shen Niannian woke up, it was the morning of the second day, and the sun was hanging high.
The two girls of Vanilla Xiangyue were also familiar with the other courtyard during this period of time, and went to inquire about the news by the way.
Although this is only a courtyard under the name of King Ling, not King Ling's Mansion, but because it is located in a prosperous place in Kyoto, it has always been equal to the second King Ling's Mansion, otherwise Concubine Qin would not have lived in a distant distance without the news of King Ling's return to Beijing.
Shen Niannian still lives in the east courtyard, while Concubine Qin lives in a small courtyard on the west side.
Kazuki mouth Balisso. She is smart and generous, and she is the best person to inquire about the news, so after Shen Niannian completely sobered up, this girl immediately talked about the news of her own inquiry.
During the more than half a year when Shen Niannian was not in Kyoto, the overseas alien races were very rampant because of the emperor's connivance, and even many officials in Beijing did not dare to provoke these people, so those alien races could be said to have made Kyoto a miasma, and the people were also miserable.
And in the final analysis, all this is because Concubine Zi and her brother who can refine the elixir are very favored in front of the emperor and the queen mother, for the elixir refined by the alien race. He was also extremely conniving at what he did. But I didn't expect that this comfortable day hadn't been a few years old, and after meeting King Ling back to Beijing yesterday, even his old nest was copied. Therefore, let the people of the East Yi Dynasty in Kyoto be happy!
Xiangyue's tone was a proud and smug one. It's like she's doing it herself. I was overjoyed.
In just one day, many people are talking about King Ling, and even King Ling's prestige in Kyoto has increased a lot. It has been praised by many people.
Xiangyue Vanilla grew up in the border city since childhood, and is naturally very curious about the most prosperous place in Kyoto, so she went out early in the morning for a walk, and came back and told Shen Niannian a lot of interesting things, seeing the two little girls startled, her face was full of excitement, but Shen Niannian's eyes were dyed with a touch of sadness.
Zhuyue, who grew up with her since childhood, also thought that Xiangyue was as lively and active as them, and the two were both master servants and sisters......
If it weren't for her, Zhuyue wouldn't have died early at that age......
The two girls who were originally saying that they were happy, saw that she suddenly looked a little sad, and gradually silenced.
"Don't worry, you two go on, I'll listen."
Shen Niannian came back to her senses, looked at the two girls looking at herself timidly, and suddenly felt a little guilty, and hurriedly smiled and spoke.
"Girl, are you thinking about Sister Zhuyue again?"
Xiangyue bit her lip and asked softly.
The corners of Shen Niannian's lips were slightly hooked, and he didn't deny it, "Yes...... Seeing the two of you, you really look like Taketsuki before, if she is still alive, you will definitely be able to become very good friends. ”
"Even now Sister Zhuyue has ...... The slave maid still regards her as a friend, although Sister Zhuyue can no longer accompany you, but in the future, the slave and vanilla will be by your side together with Sister Zhuyue's share. ”
Xiangyue smiled faintly, they didn't know too much about Zhuyue's affairs, but they also heard Shen Niannian occasionally mention it, so they were also a little envious of that woman.
They are slaves who are sold into slavery, and if they are not lucky enough to meet the girl, I am afraid that the two of them will have to do rough work in the border city and county government.
As slaves, they also know in their hearts how much suffering they have suffered, and even understand that in the eyes of their masters, the lives of their subordinates who have sold themselves into slavery are worthless.
If you want to fight, you can scold, even if you die, the master is only afraid that after a period of time, she will no longer remember the names of their minions, so although the bamboo moon is dead, they still envy her good luck.
At least after she died, Miss Shen still missed her like that.
Shen Niannian laughed, "Okay, let's not talk about these things early this morning, you two went out for a walk early in the morning, what do you think of Kyoto?" ”
"It's really big, and it's really lively!" As soon as she mentioned this, Xiangyue became excited again, "The things in Kyoto are also very delicious, no wonder it is the capital of our Eastern Yi Dynasty, which is more lively than our border city, and there are things everywhere here!" ”
"This is the national capital, naturally it is much more prosperous than the border city, but because of this, the people here are far more cunning than the border city, don't be stupid, be careful of others talking."
Looking at the excited appearance of the two little girls, Shen Niannian had a smile on his face, but he didn't forget to remind him.
Although Xiangyue is smart and clever, she is still a little girl in the end, how can she compare her means with those guys in Kyoto?
In this huge city, even if it is just a subordinate in the five-rank official's mansion, it is not an ordinary role, and now that she is back in this quagmire, she naturally has to let these people who follow her be a little vigilant.
"Girl, don't worry, the slave won't be so stupid!" Xiangyue said with a smile, and Vanilla also nodded vigorously beside her.
The three of them were chatting. Suddenly, I heard a guard knocking on the door.
"Miss Shen, a lady from the Bournehou Mansion is visiting, do you want to see her?"
Bernhou's House?
Shen Niannian's pupils shrank slightly, isn't that the Yun family?
"Tell the lady to wait in the hall for a while, and I'll go over and trouble you."
The guard smiled and said, "Miss Shen is polite, then the subordinate will take that lady to the hall to wait." ”
After the guards said goodbye, the smile on Shen Niannian's face retracted.
How could someone from the Bernehou Mansion come to her at this time? Could it be because of Yun Shangnan?
remembered that when he saw Yun Shangnan yesterday, when that person saw her appearance, it was like seeing a ghost. She just sneered.
Whatever the purpose of the lady of the Bernese Mansion was here. It's not a good idea after all!
Let Xiangyue and Vanilla wait, Shen Niannian drew a light makeup, chose a plain dress, and took the two girls to the hall. All the way, I was wondering which lady of the Yun family would be. I just entered the hall. When I looked at the woman sitting at the table, drinking tea and combing her bun. Her whole body froze in place, and then the hatred poured into her chest!
In any case, she never thought that this so-called lady of the Bernehou Mansion would be Liu Mei!
The woman who put her to death!
Liu Mei looks delicate and soft, and his voice is sweet and soft, at this time he is wearing a lilac dress, and he is also wearing a complete set of gems and jade on his head, his face is only slightly powdered, and a pair of smart eyes are as transparent as the most beautiful gems in the world.
And she was one of those who was blinded by these eyes that seemed to be forever full of sincerity.
The hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched into fists, and the long nails were deeply embedded in the palms, revealing a little scarlet.
It's just that Shen Niannian didn't seem to be aware, just stood by the door with a sinking face, a pair of dark eyes staring at Liu Mei with hatred.
And Liu Mei also seemed to be aware, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door.
Shen Niannian pursed her lips, quickly retracted her hateful gaze, and took Xiangyue and Vanilla into the house with an expressionless face.
"Girl, you really look exactly the same as the frost, yesterday after the husband went back to mention you, I still don't believe it, today I came to visit, only to see that Miss Shen is really as beautiful as the frost......"
There was a smile at the corner of the willow eyebrows, and the tone was very sincere, as if he was really complimenting, but there was a bit of nostalgia in the tone, and there was a touch of sadness in the eyes.
"I have heard that Miss Shen, you and Ning Shuang are twin sisters, if Ning Shuang is still alive, I will definitely be very happy to have such a sister as you."
"Madame, ...... you?"
Shen Niannian listened to her false words, and had the urge to vomit, but she never forgot that she was Shen Niannian now, so even if she wanted to beat the slut in front of her to death immediately, she remained calm and indifferent on her face.
"Hehe, looking at the girl's appearance, I forgot to introduce it first, I am the wife of the second son of the Hou Mansion of Bourne, and the people in the house call me the second young lady, the husband's surname is Yun, and Miss Shen can directly call me Mei'er." Liu Mei opened his mouth with a smile, and his tone was full of intimacy, "In the past, Ning Shuang and I were also very good friends, and we have been playing together since we were children." ”
"Since it's my twin sister's friend, how can I remember that Ning Shuang is the wife of the second son of the Marquis of Bourne?" Shen Niannian sneered in his heart, didn't give any face, and directly raised questions.
Sure enough, the smile on Liu Mei's face froze, but he soon smiled and said, "Sister, I'm afraid that there is some misunderstanding, after Ningshuang left unexpectedly because of the fire, my husband often misses her, so he married me, Ningshuang's best friend, to fill the house, in fact, ...... I'm just a substitute for frost......"
Liu Mei said, with a wrenching tone in her tone, it seemed that being Yun Shangnan's wife was not her will, but because she missed Shen Ningshuang too much.
If it weren't for Shen Niannian knowing her true face, she might have been fooled by her!
I really can't see that this willow eyebrow is even better than the acting skills of the actors in the theater!
"I see, I thought you deliberately snatched Ningshuang's husband." Shen Niannian smiled indifferently and seemed to say it casually.
Liu Mei pursed her lips, her face was not embarrassed, she was still so beautiful and moving, "Miss Shen said and laughed, Ning Shuang is my best friend, how can I rob her of her husband?" ”
"Really? I see......"
Shen Niannian laughed twice without the slightest emotion, anyone in this room could hear that she didn't believe Liu Mei's words at all.
Liu Mei clenched her fists, a little anxious.
Today, she will come to the door on purpose, in addition to coming to see if this Shen Niannian is really carved out of the same mold as Shen Ningshuang's slut, and there is also a desire to please her and gain her trust.
Yesterday, Yun Shangnan was punished by King Ling to kneel in the original Shen family's mansion, and he was not allowed to get up without an order.
Yun Shangnan knelt down in the middle of the night from the afternoon, and finally couldn't hold on, the old lady of the Yun family went to the palace to intercede in person, and was able to ask for help only with the consent of the queen mother, but despite this, they also knew that they were afraid that this crazy prince would not have a good impression of the Bournehou Mansion, otherwise how could he take Yun Shangnan as soon as he came back?
Yun Shangnan thought about the woman who had the same face as Shen Ningshuang, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, just like finding that his wife was snatched away by other men, he always felt depressed, but for the sake of the future, he didn't dare to provoke King Ling, so he asked Liu Mei to come to find out the news.
If you can make friends with Shen Niannian, then it will definitely be of great benefit to the Bernehou Mansion!
Liu Mei also thought that she would take out Shen Ningshuang as an excuse, why would this Shen girl be interested in a thing or two, but she never thought that this Shen girl was such a cold temperament, and she was not afraid of offending people when she spoke.
"Then the second young lady Yun came to visit today, what is the matter? It can't just be to talk to me about my poor dead sister, is it? Shen Niannian poured a cup of tea, played with the lid of the cup, and didn't seem to care about the willow eyebrows at all, but Xiangyue on the side saw it clearly, the coldness and killing intent in her eyes were actually chilling, like a demon in hell.
Even after serving Shen Niannian for so long, Xiangyue was shocked by her eyes full of anger.
Fortunately, Liu Mei and Shen Niannian didn't care about her at this time, and they didn't find anything strange about her.
"Why is Miss Shen so polite, in the past, Ning Shuang used to call me Mei'er, so you can call me Mei'er too." Liu Mei still wants to have a relationship with her, but it's a pity that Shen Niannian won't kill her at this time, let alone talk well.
Therefore, he spoke with a bit of sarcasm, "Second Young Lady Yun said that I am not familiar with you, and I have goosebumps when I scream." Let's be polite, you can say anything directly, I don't like to beat around the bush, if you're just here to hang out, then I'll have to call the maid to see off the guests......"
