Chapter 156: A Chance Encounter?
Xueru said casually, but Xie Fanyan listened carefully and wrote them down one by one, with thought in his eyes.
Early in the morning of the second day, Concubine Shu took Xie Fanyan to the Queen Xiao to say goodbye, and only sat down slightly, talking, and when she came back, she was on the shoulder, and she happened to see two brightly dressed palace maids walking out of a small road, and laughter came from afar, "This flower is really beautiful, and when you put it in the palace, the mother must be happy." ”
"Isn't it, I must like it when I look at Princess Ruizhu, children like bright colors, and they will look good after looking at these."
"Does it still work? The more you look at the flower man, the more beautiful it becomes? ”
"Yes, this is a rumor in our hometown, children look at flowers more, and they will look good in the future."
The two of them were holding flowers, but they didn't see the shoulders of Concubine Shu and Xie Fanyan behind them, Concubine Shu's shoulders walked behind the two, and the attendants in the palace of Concubine Shu shouted with a sharp voice, "Where did you come from, I don't know how important the dead girl is!" The lady's shoulder is also something you can collide with! ”
The two of them hurriedly turned around, and when they saw Concubine Shu, the flowers in their hands were almost shocked, and they knelt on the ground and said: "The maid should die, the maid should die, I didn't see the concubine, and the lady spared her life." ”
Concubine Shu stared at the flowers in the hands of the two people, thoughtfully, and said: "It's from the palace of Concubine Xian, this palace has an impression, it doesn't matter, get up, it's not a big deal." ”
The two palace maids stood up with cringe, hung their heads, and did not dare to speak.
"It's blooming so well." Concubine Shu said softly, and then waved her hand, "That's it, you guys go down." Looking at you like this, this palace feels annoyed. ”
When the two palace maids heard this, they were as if they had been pardoned. He walked backwards.
"Ayu, they are from the Imperial Garden, in previous years, the Imperial Garden is indeed blooming just right, why don't we go and see it too?" Concubine Shu called her shoulder to stop for the time being, leaned sideways, and asked Xie Fanyan behind her.
The sun is shining, but not violent. The weather was just right, and Xie Fanyan was in a good mood, "Niangniang must have heard that seeing more flowers can make children grow beautiful." I was in a hurry to see it. ”
Concubine Shu smiled when she heard this, lowered her head and stroked her stomach, her smile was very soft.
"To be honest, what those two girls said really touched my heart. Both men and women. If the child grows like a flower, it is naturally likable everywhere, but this rumor is naturally nonsense, I will go to see if it can make the mood better, and it is naturally good for the baby. ”
Xie Fanyan looked at Concubine Shu, an unusual aura shrouded this dignified and elegant palace concubine, who was unusually beautiful at this moment.
The hand involuntarily stroked his also bulging belly, and he felt a little melancholy.
Pity. It's fake.
There are many things that you can't pretend to be like yourself, and those who have a heart will see the difference between themselves and Concubine Shu at a glance.
Fortunately. Fortunately, there are not many people with such intentions after all.
"Then the lady will take Ayu to see it, the little guy is in the stomach, and when he sees the flowers, he may be happier."
Concubine Shu's gaze quickly swept over the stomach that Xie Fanyan was holding in both hands, a few inexplicable emotions flashed in her eyes, and she also showed a satisfied look, nodded lightly, and sat shoulders with Xie Fanyan.
Wei Hongyu hurriedly stepped forward to support, cautiously, and complained in her mouth, "This path is not easy to walk, Niangniang must be careful under her feet, that is, now Shang Ke is so willful and willful, if it grows for a few more months, don't dare, I think it's best not to even go out of the door of Fanghua Palace." ”
Xie Fanyan smiled when he heard this, "I never found that Mama Wei was still such a chattering person before. ”
Concubine Shu hurriedly said: "Ayu finally found out, this Hongyu is in charge of me every day, and she is more powerful than my parents and grandmothers when I was at home." After speaking, he said, "Speaking of which, Hongyu should also change her name, and avoid it with Ayu." ”
Xie Fanyan shook his head again and again, "Why bother, I am not from the palace at all, but Mama Wei wants to stay in the palace with you for a long time." Changing the name hastily is always inconvenient. ”
Concubine Shu listened and nodded, "What I said is that the name Hongyu was also taken by her family, and it hasn't changed for so many years, so the last time I thought about it, I never mentioned it, but fortunately, Ayu, you are generous, but you have spared me this matter." ”
A few people said, walked through the path, and arrived at the imperial garden, sure enough, it was a hundred flowers blooming, and the concubine looked very happy, and her mouth kept talking to Xie Fanyan, and her hands went to play with the flower branches, but she no longer looked like a tall concubine, and the little girl was full of emotion.
"Concubine Niangniang came out to enjoy the flowers today?" Two people were watching the flowers, but a few people walked out from behind a flower, led by a royal blue costume and a royal blue head, looking dignified and rich.
"Concubine Xian." Concubine Shu stared at the visitor and laughed, "I saw the maid in the Niangniang Palace holding flowers back just now, why is Niangniang also here." ”
Concubine Xian calmly: "Today's day is good, the palace will take the people in the palace out to enjoy the flowers, just now I did order the two girls to pick more flowers to go back, decorate the hall well, I don't want to be touched by the concubine, I didn't bump into the concubine." ”
"Not really." Concubine Shu said as she bowed her head, took Xie Fanyan's hand and planned to go around from one side.
"This is the young lady of Changkang Palace." Concubine Hu did not mean to let Concubine Shu go away, but took a few steps towards Concubine Shu, "The emperor really feels sorry for Concubine Shu, and specially arranged for people from Concubine Shu's mother's family to accompany her. ”
Speaking of these for no reason, Concubine Shu was a little vigilant, Wei Hongyu turned sideways in front of Concubine Shu, and said to Concubine Xian, "I've seen Concubine Xian, our mother just came from the Yang Palace, she was a little tired, and she enjoyed the flowers, but now her physical strength is a little weak, it's time to go back to Fanghua Palace." ”
"You are Wei Hongyu, this palace has long heard that Mama Wei beside Concubine Shu is loyal to the lord, but everything is too much, today this palace looks at Mama Wei is a little fuss, and this palace is not a tiger, will you still eat Concubine Shu?" After speaking, Concubine Xian took a few steps closer, "What's more, the tiger in the palace does not spit out bones when eating people, if you encounter such a tiger, Mama Wei, you will do everything possible to maintain it, but I am afraid that it will not be able to return to the sky." ”
Xie Fanyan frowned slightly, and his intuition was that meeting this virtuous concubine this time was not as simple as a chance encounter, and what this virtuous concubine said was not like it was said casually by chance.
But now if you want to retreat, the traces will be more obvious, and it will make Concubine Shu dislike, so she can only continue to stand by Concubine Shu's side.
"What does Sister Xian mean, this palace is not open-minded, it is really unpredictable, you talk to Hongyu, Hongyu is afraid that she is also confused, but it is in vain for my sister's exquisite and clear thoughts."
Concubine Shu pushed aside Wei Hongyu in front of her, walked in front of Concubine Xian, and slowly continued: "Sister Concubine Xian is virtuous, how can she be a man-eating tiger, but this palace says that this palace is tired, that is, tired, Sister Xian Concubine can't believe it?" ”
Concubine Xian smiled more casually, "This palace is the old man next to the emperor, and it is also the old man in this palace, the older he is now, the simpler his mind is, he just wants to do his duty and serve the queen mother, as for the emperor, he naturally can't compete with you, so I don't have much to do with Concubine Shu on weekdays, and now I look at it, sisters should still walk more between them, and the concubine of the province has such a big wariness of this palace." ”
"Sister Xian Fei is talking about where to say, this palace just said that the palace is tired, and she wants to go back to the palace, Sister Xian Fei is an old man in the palace, this palace has always been respected, how to be unfamiliar and wary, Sister Xian Fei thinks too much, if there is nothing to do, this palace will go back to the palace first to rest, this imperial garden flowers are blooming just right, Sister Xian Fei might as well take it to Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother must be happy." Concubine Shu said, bowed her head, and wanted to leave with Xie Fanyan.
Xie Fanyan prayed in his heart, let her go back smoothly, Concubine Xian can say whatever she wants to with Concubine Shu in the future, don't let her hear it and let her know!
It's a pity that the words of prayer in my heart were dispelled by Concubine Xian's words.
"Since you're here, why is Concubine Shu in such a hurry to go back and come to enjoy the flowers with the palace, isn't it good to talk? Speaking of which, the palace often hears some rumors about the young lady of the Changkang Palace, it is said that the talent and appearance are all first-class, and she has long had the heart to make friends, Mrs. Xie should not think that the palace is vulgar. ”
A dignified and virtuous concubine, Wei Hongyu said that this is the most important concubine of the Queen Mother, how dare she dislike it? It's not long, it's about the same.
"The virtuous concubine is too famous, and the courtiers can't stand such a lift." Xie Fanyan retreated behind Concubine Shu and said.
This is already an obvious refusal, whether it is Concubine Shu or Xie Fanyan, if Concubine Hu is interested, she should disperse and return to the palace in two polite sentences, but unfortunately, it is obvious that Concubine Xian has no meaning of interest.
"I heard that the flower room over there is a few pots of rare flowers newly transported into the palace, what is it called, I forgot it, I have never loved these flowers and plants, if the concubine likes it, the palace is willing to accompany the concubine to see."
"This palace has always disliked flowers and plants, but it disappoints the mother's kindness." The more Concubine Shu saw Concubine Xian's hospitality, the more suspicious she was in her heart, and she subconsciously refused coldly.
"It seems that Concubine Shu is really tired, then go back to the palace, the emperor once said to the palace that the golden silk ham in Fanghua Palace tastes very good, and today I will go to Fanghua Palace with Concubine Shu, I hope there will be this oral administration."
Golden silk ham?
Hearing this, Rao is concubine couldn't help but want to laugh out loud no matter how calm she was, as we all know, this is the favorite food of this virtuous concubine, not that everyone deliberately pays attention to it, but every year the queen mother has to give this dish to the virtuous concubine, when will someone in their Fanghua Palace make this? Concubine Hu temporarily made excuses and didn't think about it carefully.
But in the end, it was the senior concubine in the palace and the queen mother's cronies, so Concubine Shu couldn't say no more, so she could only nod her head, and went out of the imperial garden with Concubine Xian to Fanghua Palace.
Xie Fanyan stopped at the door of the side hall and wanted to go back to the side hall, God knows what happened to Concubine Xian looking for Concubine Shu, but don't drag yourself in.
But Concubine Shu didn't follow, just held Xie Fanyan's hand and went all the way to the main hall.
Concubine Xian stopped when she arrived at the door and smiled, "Concubine Shu should know that this palace is specially looking for Concubine Shu to discuss important matters today, and it will be inconvenient for Mrs. Xie to go in together." ”
"There's nothing inconvenient, if something happens, Ayu can also be a witness for the palace." After speaking, Concubine Shu pursed her lips, took Xie Fanyan's hand, and entered the hall. (To be continued.) )
