Shen Niannian got up and saluted, and said with a light smile, "The maiden's surname is indeed Shen, please say hello to Concubine Qin." ”

Her face was gloomy, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, her voice was like a clear spring hitting a stone, and there was nothing wrong with her behavior, and people couldn't find any stubble, but Concubine Qin looked at her and felt uncomfortable.

married into the palace for three years, but the prince has never regarded her as an ornament.

Not to mention deliberately letting the guards protect her, even if she sent someone over to ask for a word or two, it has never been before.

But this woman named Shen Niannian, how can she be able to be accompanied by the prince on this way?

"Miss Shen doesn't have to be polite, since you are the prince's guest, you are also the concubine's guest, the environment of this courtyard is elegant and quiet, and the concubine often walks around here, if you need something, send someone to tell the concubine, don't ......be polite."

Although she said this in her mouth, there was no welcome on Concubine Qin's face.

"The side concubine is polite, the folk girl doesn't dare to trouble you......"

Shen Niannian smiled faintly, and was also extremely polite.

Concubine Qin didn't know where she was, this person didn't welcome her, but as long as she thought that the prince would come here when he came back from the palace later, she was reluctant to leave, although she didn't like Shen Niannian from the bottom of her heart, but she still didn't see the appearance of the two maids behind her who obviously wanted her to go quickly, but smiled lightly, "This concubine has come all the way, and she is also a little thirsty, I wonder if Miss Shen can invite this concubine in for a cup of tea, and by the way, tell this concubine about you and the prince in the border city, okay?" ”

Although it was an inquiry, she was not half polite and walked directly towards Shen Niannian's house.

This house was cleaned up by Yi Qinglan and the servants before they arrived in Kyoto. Shen Niannian happened to be able to live when she came over, knowing that she was quiet, and the house was also very exquisitely set up, and the furnishings were all furnished according to Shen Niannian's preferences, although Concubine Qin didn't know what Shen Niannian liked, but as soon as she entered the house, she saw the round table of golden silk nanmu placed in the house, as well as the eight-sided gold-threaded Meilan screen across the inner and outer rooms, and she could see that Yi Qinglan attached great importance to her.

Looking at the eight-sided gold-threaded Meilan screen, Concubine Qin secretly gritted her teeth.

This screen is a royal thing. It is said to be a precious screen placed in the palace of the queen of the past dynasties. Only the most favored women of the emperors of the past can get the precious things, but they are actually placed in an ordinary woman's room!

If Concubine Qin still had a glimmer of hope at the beginning, hope is really as those guards said, the prince just took Shen Niannian into Beijing to see the world. Everything is just because of Lord Shen's face and Shen Qianqiu's face. But when she saw that this room was full of treasures that she had wanted but couldn't get, it was completely clear. I'm afraid that Yi Qinglan is really moved by this Miss Shen, how does this make her feel better?

Concubine Qin's thoughts, Shen Niannian didn't see it. In fact, it's not that she doesn't know the goods, but because most of the things in this house are royal tributes, even if she was the daughter of the Hou Mansion, she may not be able to recognize them all, so she didn't think about how many priceless treasures were placed in the room where she lived temporarily.

"The side concubine is casual, and the folk girl is also a newcomer, if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, I will look at Haihan." Shen Niannian poured a cup of hot tea and nudged it in front of Concubine Qin.

"Miss Shen is polite, it should be this concubine who bothered you." Although Concubine Qin felt uncomfortable in her heart, she still had a smile on her face.

Both of them seem to have forgotten the arrogance of Concubine Qin when she came before, and they wanted to bite her to death, you come and go, false and wronged, both of them are strict about their own affairs, even if Concubine Qin knocks on the side of the news about Yi Qinglan, Shen Niannian is also silent, and the angry Concubine Qin secretly gritted her teeth, if it weren't for the two maids, with her temper, she would have called the personal girl to teach this village woman who didn't know what to do.

Before they knew it, the two were chatting, and the sun was gradually setting.

As the sun set, the afterglow put a layer of pale veil on the scenery outside the house, Concubine Qin couldn't help but sigh when she saw this, "The prince is really good to Miss Shen, this courtyard is the best place in the entire courtyard, every time you can see the most beautiful sunset in Kyoto City, in the past, this concubine wanted to live in it many times, but the prince didn't allow it at all, in the end, it was Miss Shen, you have the ability......"

"The side concubine said with a smile, the prince also looks at the face of the father to take more care of the people's daughters, no matter what, the people's daughters are guests after all......" Shen Niannian couldn't hear the meaning of the Qin side concubine, the daughter who was not out of the pavilion cared about her own reputation the most, although now the Shen family has left the aristocratic circle of Kyoto, but now she is not famous and has no point with Yi Qinglan, if someone wants to make a fuss about this matter, the words of the Qin side concubine will undoubtedly give some people with a heart confidence.

After all, one of her daughters' family followed Yi Qinglan around, if she hadn't experienced life and death, her father would not have responded to Yi Qinglan so easily.

Concubine Qin smiled faintly, "What Miss Shen said is also true, after all, you are the prince's guest, and this concubine naturally has to treat you well...... If Miss Shen is willing to appreciate her face, why don't you have dinner with Concubine Ben later? ”

With a faintly suppressed tone, it is obviously impossible to refuse.

Shen Niannian smiled, "It is a blessing for the people to be able to dine with the side concubines. ”

A trace of coldness flashed in Concubine Qin's eyes, she spent an afternoon working here with this Shen Niannian, but she couldn't find out any useful news, she really didn't see it, she was obviously a girl who grew up in the countryside, and she looked innocent on her face, but she actually had this kind of means, no wonder she would fascinate the prince.

"Where, as long as Miss Shen doesn't dislike the concubine's cook, it's fine......"

After that, Concubine Qin asked the arrogant little maid before to prepare the meal, but she didn't have the slightest intention of leaving.

Shen Niannian saw her act like this, the corners of her mouth were only slightly hooked, and she didn't understand what she meant.

It sounds good, she wants to dine with her as a guest, but I'm afraid I just want to see if I can meet Yi Qinglan here, right?

Shen Niannian didn't poke it, and asked Vanilla to find a few ancient books that he hadn't finished reading on the way when he came. Passing the time while sipping tea.

When chatting before, Xiangyue went out to inquire about the news of this side concubine.

It is said that three years ago, this Qin concubine was rewarded to Queen Ling by the emperor's decree, and on the day of the wedding, King Ling's face was not revealed, so he returned to the border city directly.

And this Concubine Qin is also equivalent to a hostess in King Ling's Mansion, there is no filial piety of her in-laws, and there is no wife on her head, except that she has not seen Yi Qinglan for three years. It's been a very leisurely day. In addition, there is a queen mother who supports her, even if she is secretly laughed at, but her temperament is still arrogant and domineering, but she has offended many noble ladies in Kyoto.

And this side concubine is also because of King Ling's name. But I did a lot of immoral things. It is common to beat and scold the subordinates in the house. even connived at his mother's younger brother to bully men and women in Kyoto, doing all kinds of evil, but Yi Qinglan also carried a lot of black pots.

Shen Niannian learned about these things later. I don't know whether to say that this Concubine Qin is sad or hateful.

didn't wait for Concubine Qin's maid over there to pass the meal, but she really looked forward to Yi Qinglan's return.

Although Concubine Qin has been married to him for three years, the two have never met once, so when she saw a person dressed in a dark python robe coming from outside, with a handsome face, although childish, but there was a murderous aura that ordinary Kyoto nobles did not have, Concubine Qin's eyes lit up, even if she didn't need to be told by others, she could guess the identity of this person, so she hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to greet her, and said: "Concubine Qin, please be safe for the prince...... Rajah... The concubine is ......"

Yi Qinglan passed by her, and didn't give her half a look at her, and as soon as she entered the room, her eyes fell on Shen Niannian, who was standing up with the book closed.

"Ah...... Lord, you're back. ”

Shen Niannian was naturally happy to see Yi Qinglan come back.

After all, she hadn't set foot in this place in Kyoto for more than half a year, and this was the place where she was buried, and the memories she left behind were really not pleasant, even if she stayed in the house and didn't go out, she felt a little uneasy, and it wasn't until Yi Qinglan came back that she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you used to living here today?" Yi Qinglan's expressionless face only unconsciously dyed a smile when he saw Shen Niannian.

Shen Niannian bowed his head, "The environment here is quiet, I like it very much." ”

Yi Qinglan smiled, looking at her with deep friendship in her eyes, "It's good if you like it." ”

Concubine Qin's whole body froze in place, she never thought that King Ling would still ignore her so much! even smiled so gently at another woman in front of her.

An emotion called jealousy lingered in her chest, Concubine Qin gritted her teeth, walked over directly, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yi Qinglan, and said softly, "Lord Wang, the concubine is ......."

"This is not the place where you should come, you go back, in the future, without the permission of this king, you are not allowed to come to see Niannian privately."

Yi Qinglan waved her hand, directly interrupted Concubine Qin's words, and spoke coldly.

Concubine Qin was stunned, her eyes immediately turned red, and crystal clear tears crossed her cheeks, "Lord Wang...... What did the concubine do wrong? Anyway, I'm also your side concubine, you ignored it, and left the concubine in Kyoto for three whole years, so how many jokes did others see the concubine? The concubine never dared to complain about the prince...... But...... The concubine is also a daughter, why can't you pity the concubine more? ”

Concubine Qin wiped her tears with a handkerchief, not like an ordinary daughter's family crying, but crying silently, looking pitiful, even if Shen Niannian saw it, she couldn't bear it.

It's just that Yi Qinglan was always indifferent, frowned and looked at Concubine Qin, and said coldly, "Qin, this king has left a little face for both of you and me, I advise you, if people don't know unless they do it, don't think that this king is not in Kyoto, so you don't know about your ugly things, if you are interested, you shouldn't go to this king!" ”

The expression on Concubine Qin's face froze, her pupils constricted, and she looked at him in disbelief.

When I looked at those cold eyes, I felt as if I had seen through my whole person, and I was shocked into a cold sweat.

Seeing that Shen Niannian was blinking and staring at her, as if she was curious about what the ugly thing was, a trace of annoyance flashed in Concubine Qin's eyes, but she didn't worry about Yi Qinglan's seizure, she just smiled dryly, her face was full of discomfort, "Lord Wang...... What you said is not very understandable......"

Yi Qinglan chuckled, with a sense of sarcasm, this look, Concubine Qin's heart was cold, and she was even more secretly frightened, could it be that what she did, this person should really be clear?

Seeing this, Concubine Qin also lost her original desire to compete for favor, and left in a hurry under the pretext of being unwell.

In Shen Niannian's opinion, there is a bit of a posture of running away.

"What did this Concubine Qin do? Why are you so panicked? ”

I spent an afternoon with her here, and I finally looked forward to Yi Qinglan's return, but because of those two or three sentences, she left in a hurry, this Concubine Qin is really a strange woman.

When he came to the courtyard before, he looked like he was settling accounts, but in the afternoon, she looked like a quiet woman, with a changeable personality, which was unpredictable.

Shen Niannian was thinking about it, when she suddenly felt a pain on her face, and when she came back to her senses, she found that her cheeks were actually grabbed by Yi Qinglan, although she didn't use any force, but the temperature in this person's hand seemed to burn her, and she blushed instantly, pushed the person away, rubbed her own cheeks, and complained, "You always like to pinch my face so lately?" What if outsiders look at me? ”

Yi Qinglan knew that she still remembered that the two of them were in an unspeakable relationship now, and if such an intimate behavior was seen by others, it would definitely have an impact on the reputation of the two, and it was precisely because of this concern that even if the two had determined each other's intentions, they would not act too intimately.

Thinking of this, Yi Qinglan was anxious, and directly hugged the person, held him in his arms, and sighed silently, "I really can't wait to marry you immediately." ”

Shen Niannian's face was as red as a glow, after getting along for so long, she could not rule out the arms of men, and said with a smile, "I'm also waiting......"

Yi Qinglan chuckled lowly, but she was surprised that Shen Niannian suddenly became so generous, and she was ashamed to avoid talking about it every time before.

Thinking of the Qin clan just now, his eyes darkened, could it be that this was ...... Jealous?

Suddenly understanding this, Yi Qinglan suddenly laughed, even if he had forced the emperor to issue an edict today, he had never made him so happy.

Shen Niannian didn't know what he was laughing at, glared at him with disgust, and said angrily, "You try to laugh again?" (To be continued.) )
