At the gate of the palace, the two people separated, Xie Fanyan and his party changed into another sedan chair, did not have any extra eye contact with Chen Jinyu, held flowers, and staggered into the palace.

After passing another door, the sedan chair swayed, Xie Fanyan couldn't help but lift the curtain, just in time to see a carriage galloping by.

According to the rules, like Xie Fanyan's grade, the carriage can only be parked at the gate of the palace, and the four-carrying sedan chair in the palace must be carried to the palace.

"Who's in this carriage?" Xie Fanyan couldn't help but ask about the inner room outside.

The two attendants in the Shufei Fanghua Palace looked at the carriage that had left in the dust, and also shook their heads in confusion.

It's just a casual question, Xie Fanyan quickly put this matter aside, because the emperor's Zhengde Hall has arrived.

She was ordered to stay for a long time, and she had to come to see the emperor before she could be taken to Concubine Shu's Fanghua Palace.

At the door, he just waited silently, and someone around him spoke for him, and then a waiter at the door went in to report.

After a while, the in-house attendant who reported came out again and said to Xie Fanyan: "The emperor is summoning Dali Siqing, it is inconvenient to see Mrs. Xie, the emperor's meaning, Concubine Shu Niangniang is very affectionate, Mrs. Xie will go to Fanghua Palace to reunite with Concubine Shu Niangniang, and it will not be too late to see the emperor in a few days." ”

Xie Fanyan lowered his head: "The courtiers have the order." ”

The group left the Zhengde Hall again, and Xie Fanyan got on the sedan chair again, this time in the direction of Fanghua Palace.

Fanghua Palace is not far from Zhengde Palace, and it will be there in a shaky way.

Concubine Shu heard the report and greeted her in person. Seeing Xie Fanyan calling cordially, "Ayu, you are here." ”

Xie Fanyan squinted slightly. After a quick glance, I haven't seen it for a few days, Concubine Shu's body is slightly blessed, her body is slightly bloated, but she looks even more rich and blessed, just a glance, and she lowered her eyes. "Courtiers see Concubine Niangniang."

"My own sister, Ayu don't be polite to me, otherwise how can I settle down with this heart." said. Concubine Shu took Xie Fanyan's hand, "Ayu is blaming the eldest sister in her heart?" Ayu is pregnant, but let you run. It's just that I'm really thinking about it, thinking about it. Isn't the most important thing in the palace now the child you are pregnant with? It's also fate with me, come into the palace and raise it together, Ayu, don't blame the eldest sister. ”

"How come, Niangniang's kindness, if the courtiers blame Niangniang, wouldn't they not know what to do?"

"Don't call me like that anymore, you and Jinyu are the same, just call me eldest sister."

"Yes. Eldest sister. ”

Concubine Shu finally smiled with satisfaction and looked at the flower in Xie Fanyan's hand. Curiously, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it, "How can Ayu hold this flower by herself, and I don't know if I will hand it over to my subordinates to do, what kind of flower is this, you are so precious." ”

Xie Fanyan subconsciously put the flower into his arms, avoiding Concubine Shu's hand, "A seed given to me by a master who travels the world says that if you cultivate it carefully, it can produce very beautiful flowers." ”

Concubine Shu put her hand down, not impressed, but more curious, "Oh? What kind of flower, so mysterious, how beautiful will it be? I have heard that peony flowers bloom all over the world, and the epiphany is amazing, is this pot of flowers more beautiful than those famous flowers? ”

"I don't know about this, but since Mrs. Shi said that it is very beautiful and extremely precious seed, there must be something unique about it."

"In this way, I'm curious, I don't know how unique it will be, by the way, Ayu, what kind of flower is this?"

This flower is called Lou porcelain, but Xie Fanyan doesn't want to say this name.

"This flower is called Soul Summoning, and I haven't heard of this kind of flower, maybe it's the name given by Mrs. Shi herself."

"Reincarnation? Haha, the flowers sent by this teacher are really strange, you take care of them, I want to take a good look at them, what a strange kind of flower it is. ”

Xie Fanyan nodded silently, silently, and looked at the pitch-black soil, which looked like there was nothing in it, it was dark and heavy, like buried soil.

Concubine Shu asked Wei Hongyu to take Xie Fanyan to a side hall not far from the main hall, it can be seen that it has just been cleaned up, it is very clean, although it is not big, but Xie Fanyan is still relieved, Concubine Shu left a relatively independent space for each other, otherwise it is really inseparable day and night, Xie Fanyan is still very resistant in his heart.

Concubine Shu specially dialed the maid to serve Xie Fanyan, but Xie Fanyan politely refused, leaving only the rough use of cleaning the side hall, after all, there is fat for the three of them, and there is no need for more people to serve, Concubine Shu was not reluctant, just let Xie Fanyan feel at ease.

Aunt Wei took the fat and the jade to familiarize themselves with the basic situation of Fanghua Palace, and after mastering the basic living conditions, they left Xie Fanyan and went to the main hall of Concubine Shu, Xie Fanyan's master and servant were less restrained, and they liked Concubine Shu a little bit in their hearts, they were all people who were not familiar with each other, there was no hypocritical politeness, and it was comfortable to leave a comfortable world.

The dinner was used in the main hall of the concubine, only the concubine and Xie Fanyan had a simple conversation at the table, and the rest of the people stood behind them with bated breath. It's not like Xueru, it's always a little cringe-inducing and timid, it's not like it's fat, it's a little bigger and loses its beauty, it's not like it's a fat jade, it's less flexible.

Speaking of which, the three of them are already quite decent maids, and they are also generally knowledgeable, but when they enter the palace, they are still compared, but looking left and right, Xie Fanyan still feels that her girl is comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

"Ayu, are you using these unpleasantly, I usually hate eating these." Concubine Shu said, frowning slightly, the long silver-inlaid porcelain spoon in her hand stirred gently in the walnut paste in front of her, obviously with a slight boredom, but she was still slowly forced to drink, and she saw that she was very reluctant.

"Actually, it's fine." Xie Fanyan also felt that it was okay to be light, but he didn't particularly care about it, just a good stomach, after all, the palace, how could they follow their own preferences.

"Well, you just have to pick what you like to eat, and if you don't eat well, let your maid go to the small kitchen to get some for yourself, don't hold yourself back." Concubine Shu smiled at Xie Fanyan.

Concubine Shu is really a very easy person to get along with. Trying to create an atmosphere of freedom, he was not willing to interfere with Xie Fanyan within the scope of his ability, Xie Fanyan nodded. I got it.

Suddenly felt that in fact, the two people who were sitting relatively were richly dressed and noble, but everyone had their own sufferings, and then let themselves be casual, after all, they were detained in this palace and forced to advance and retreat with her, but what about herself. For the sake of the child in the belly, I can endure to eat all the things I don't like, but I can't decide whether I can be the mother of the child as I wish.

No, this path was chosen by her. Xie Fanyan originally blamed her for being ruthless, but now she suddenly had pity, and making such a choice must have gone against her original intention. Original intention......

Freedom, freedom, this little bit of randomness and space can make Xie Fanyan feel good and grateful to Concubine Shu, it can be seen that Xie Fanyan's heart is also tightly detained, and the so-called freedom, who can really get it?

Firewood, rice, oil and salt, food and clothing, running every day. The body dwells between heaven and earth, and who can break free from these fetters.

If you come here, you will be safe. Xie Fanyan smiled self-deprecatingly, and put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, "These are really not used to eating, I'll let Xueru go to the small kitchen to get some for me later." ”

Xue Ru behind Xie Fanyan nodded immediately, although Xie Fanyan couldn't see it.

"Oh?" Concubine Shu became interested again, and also put down the spoon in her hand, and looked at Xueru, who nodded just now, "This girl is very old-eyed, I haven't seen it, do you like the things you do?" ”

"Well, this is from the back. You haven't seen it, mother. Xie Fanyan said a word, and said: "If you have time, you can try Xueru's craftsmanship, this girl doesn't care about anything else, she is very obsessed with cooking, and now she is making it alone in the small kitchen of Tiyuan." ”

"Well, next time Xue Ru goes to point out, I always feel that the chef in my Fanghua Palace is not very careful, and the things he makes are very average." Concubine Shu nodded.

At this time, a palace maid came in from outside and saluted the concubine: "Niangniang, the two beauties from the carved fence palace are here, can you see the maid?" ”

Concubine Shu's originally stretched brows furrowed again, "Didn't they just come in the morning, what are they doing so diligently?" As he spoke, he scraped the last bit of walnut paste with a spoon, sipped it with his mouth, took the handkerchief handed by the maidservant behind him, and said while wiping his mouth: "Let them come in, now wait outside." ”

"Yes." The maid of the palace received the order and left quickly.

Concubine Shu's palace maids looked very smart, cleaned up, and took the lipstick for Concubine Shu, the lips that had been wiped clean and restored to plain color were red again, and then they looked in the mirror, and then got up, "If Ayu is annoying, just sit in my room, and if you feel bored, go out with me to talk." ”

Xie Fanyan didn't like both choices, he didn't know each other well with Concubine Shu, how could he stay alone in her bedroom, and if he went out and went back to the side hall, he would have to have a tongue to introduce, although he didn't have to speak, but he was tired of listening.

That's it, after all, I was a guest in the palace, how could I not see anyone, go out to say hello, and when they talked, I would find a chance to go out, thinking about it, I said: "I have eaten too, there is nothing to sit in the house, it is better to go out and listen to what you have to say." ”

"Well, that's natural, Ayu, you can leave at any time when you're tired."

I have to say that Concubine Shu is still very considerate of people's thoughts.

Xie Fanyan smiled, and also packed up and went out with Concubine Shu.

As soon as I got out of the room and bypassed the screen, I saw two women standing in the main hall, one in a bean-green shirt, and the other in Zhao Fan.

"The concubine has seen the lady concubine."

The voice is as pleasant as a yellow bird, the emperor's woman, Xie Fanyan couldn't help but pay attention to it, it is indeed a posture, one gaze is affectionate, and the other is smart and energetic, all of which are not ordinary.

"This palace said, there is no need to be formal when sisters meet in private, so get up quickly. Water Pavilion, give the two mothers a seat. Concubine Shu had already swept away the impatience and disgust when she first heard the names of the two, but instead smiled kindly, pulled Xie Fanyan to sit down first, and then asked the two beauties to get up and sit down.

The palace maid who had just served Concubine Shu with lipstick hurriedly responded, and then made the appearance of moving the stool, and the two beauties had already found a place to sit down by themselves in fear, and said to Concubine Shu with a little anxiety: "Where do you need Aunt Shuixie's help." ”

"Yes, the concubines have been tormented."

"It's okay, they should." Concubine Shu smiled. "What's the matter today, the two younger sisters only came to the Fanghua Palace in the main palace in the morning, why did they come again at dusk."

"No, the concubines heard that someone came to accompany Niangniang in Niangniang's house, Tete rushed over to say hello, the emperor also really loves Niangniang, and he is really thoughtful for Niangniang, Niangniang must be happy."

"Yes, I heard about it with Sister Yin Qiu, and I came here to get a touch of the joy of my mother, my mother is really blessed, and this time I will definitely be able to give birth to a white and fat prince, and the emperor will definitely cherish my mother even more."

Concubine Shu smiled a little excitedly, her ten fingers stroked her belly, and there was a slight gentle look on her face, "The princes and princesses are all the same, I believe that the emperor does not account for it, and the palace does not account for it, but I still borrow the good words of my sisters." ”

The two beauties laughed again when they heard this, "This is natural, Niangniang is still young, and the blessings are endless, and it is good to bloom first and then bear fruit." ”

"But a few days ago, didn't there be news from Concubine De Niangniang, saying that most of the people she was pregnant with were princes?" The woman in the pea-green shirt hesitated and said.

The smile on Concubine Shu's face thinned a little, and her hand continued to stroke her belly one by one, but she did not speak.

"Niangniang, what Sister Yin Qiu said is that Concubine De is now pampered and arrogant, everyone in the harem dares to be angry and dare not speak, Niangniang is gentle and kind, and the concubines only dare to tell Niangniang, if only one of the two Niangniang can give birth to a prince, then the concubines must hope that it is Shufei Niangniang." The beauty in pink also said in a sincere tone.

"I don't like to hear what my sisters say, they are all sisters, why worry a lot on weekdays, not to mention that I and Sister Concubine De are both dragon heirs, whether it is a man or a woman is the will of heaven, how can you guess the will of heaven?"

"That's what the mother said." The bean-green beauty named Yin Qiu raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Shu, seeing that she was not really angry, and said: "But although they are both sisters and serve the emperor together, there is a difference in the emperor's heart, and there is also a difference between sisters. ”

Concubine Shu stopped talking, and the woman in pink clothes and smart eyes looked at Xie Fanyan and said: "Is this the young lady of Changkang Palace, I have heard the name of Shuangshu in the capital for a long time, speaking of which, I also went to Qiao Girl's Day that year, but it was not as good as Mrs. Xie's performance at that time." Said, there was a strong sense of envy in his tone, but his eyes were not disapproving, he knew that he would be selected into the harem on the eve of the Qiao Girl's Day that year, so he deliberately concealed his talent, which woman in this palace did not have the ability to do it?

On the Qiao Women's Day that year, Xie Fanyan's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and he and his sister were indeed out of the limelight, and therefore met Fu Qingtong, who thought he would be the lover of his life. (To be continued.) )
