158 Grudges
She accepted the card and said to Hongyi: "You go and watch again, if there is any movement, come back to me immediately." β
In fact, she still tends that Shen Simin will not hook up with Shen Ying, because there is too much difference in the number of segments between the two, and Shen Simin will not put down her body and collude with people like Shen Ying. However, Shen Simin was arrogant, and it was difficult to say that he was frustrated by Shen Mi. If they really have any bad ideas, there will naturally be abnormal movements, and if they keep an eye on them for the time being, they will not be chaotic at that time.
The next day, when it was dawning, Hua asked people to urge Shen Yan to enter the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, and then he was ready to enter the palace to kowtow.
Women with more than five grades have to put on makeup to enter the palace today, of course, people like Mrs. Shen who have difficulty moving are not among them.
Fahrenheit is very glamorous under makeup, and she also knows how to dress up, because Shen Yan was specially summoned by the Queen Mother's decree, so she was afraid that Shen Yan, who usually rubbed rouge on her face, would wear the wrong clothes at the moment, and hurriedly went to Bishui Courtyard after packing up.
Who knew that Shen Yan, who was walking towards him, picked up a rose purple and dark flower Shu brocade dress to wear on his body, covered with a silver rat gray mink coat, and combed a pair of delicate double hanging buns on his head, hairpins with bead flowers, ears decorated with small southern pearls as big as simple soybeans, and the collar and eight-treasure gold lock on his neck, which looked elegant and luxurious, and couldn't help but praise secretly.
Shen Mi saw the mother and daughter at the gate of the main courtyard, and couldn't help nodding.
went to the second gate for a while, and went out of the mansion with Shen Guanyu.
The people from the Rongguo Mansion also happened to go out, Gu Song rode his little red rabbit, stood in the dark sky and stretched his neck to look at the Shen family, and when he saw a carriage coming out, he couldn't help but stare at it, but unfortunately the curtain was tightly sealed, and he couldn't tell if Shen Yan was sitting inside......
He was riding his horse absentmindedly here, but Shen Yan saw him through the crack in the window. If he had greeted him in the past, but today was unusual, so many high-ranking officials and nobles who entered the palace together along the way, it was very bad for people to see that the female dependents of the Shen family were so undignified.
Seeing her thoughtful, Fahrenheit couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "Are you nervous?" β
Shen Yan shook his head. She's not nervous. She is different from Shen Mi, Shen Mi's generation has experienced troubled times, and has also experienced the ups and downs of the family, so she has some instinctive awe of fate. And when she was born, the Shen family had begun to revivenation, and in the noble Shen family, the princes of the clan were frequent visitors.
Their generation has not experienced those years full of anxiety and worry, she has seen everything from the emperor to the soldiers in the two lives, in her eyes these people are just people with slightly different identities, maybe the ignorant are fearless, so in the past and present life, she is not afraid at all in the face of these so-called heavenly families who control her life and death destiny.
But the first time she entered the palace, she said that she was not nervous at all and a little unreasonable, she thought about it, and nodded at Fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit smiled: "Don't be afraid, the Queen Mother is very kind." β
After saying a few words, the carriage stopped, probably queuing up to enter the palace.
Along the way, it was no different from Shen Yan's process from the palace to the palace, the courtiers all went to the Taihe Palace to see the emperor, and the women went to the Yongfu Palace to kowtow to the queen mother first, and then went to the queen. After that, it depends on the meaning of the queen mother and the queen, and if there is something pleasing to the eye, stay in front of you to talk, and the rest will wait in the designated palace, and return home with your husband after the dispersal of the dynasty.
Compared with meeting the Queen Mother, Shen Yan was more curious about whether the worship in Yongfu Palace today was presided over by the queen or the concubine.
She entered the palace today with rouge and Qingdai, Fu Niang is too young, I am afraid that she will panic when she sees few scenes. The two of them followed her into the Yongfu Palace, and saw that there was a faint sound of bell chime in the palace, and there were many eunuchs and palace maids standing under the door.
Fahrenheit took her to stand under the palace gate, and soon a eunuch came out to lead them in.
Shen Yan has a general impression of Yongfu Palace, so it is very regular not to squint, Hua's secret look at the heart of the big decision, the heart of the girl on weekdays, the ghost horse spear, the critical moment did not drop the chain, more and more proud, when he arrived at the Royal Highness, seeing the Queen Mother surrounded by a group of nobles surrounded by beads, he couldn't help but feel calm, showing the confidence of the fall and generosity.
As soon as Shen Yan entered the door, he was attracted by the middle-aged beautiful women standing on the left and right sides of the Queen Mother.
These two are dressed in Da Zhou dresses, the left is a big red bottom with big sleeves and a phoenix robe, the front sleeves and hem are embroidered with Zhai patterns, and there is a big phoenix crown with countless pearls and gems on the head, the appearance is mediocre, dignified and calm, it is Queen Liu. The one on the right is almost similar to makeup, but there are two less big dong beads on the phoenix crown, and the Zhai pattern on the body has also changed slightly, and it is delicate and moving, it is Yang Shufei.
She thought that Yongfu Palace was either the queen or the concubine, but she didn't expect the queen mother to pretend to be deaf and stupid like this, and recruited both of them, so that the courtiers and the emperor had nothing to say.
She looked at it secretly, but she hadn't forgotten the etiquette of the line.
After the mountain shouted and bowed, the Queen Mother smiled and evoked.
Shen Yan sat down on the last seat on the left with Hua's family, and the Queen Mother said, "This is Shen Mi's daughter, you come closer." β
Hua pulled Shen Yan to stand up, and Shen Yan said yes, lifted her skirt and walked over.
The Queen Mother motioned for her to sit down, she looked at the left and then the right, and then looked at the Queen Mother in the middle, and said: "Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother, but there are the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Queen Concubine here, and there is no place for Shen Yan to sit." As she spoke, she deeply bowed to Empress Liu and Concubine Yang Shu. The big gift has already been seen, and this time it will be done.
It's not that she deliberately behaves, it's that she represents the reputation of Miss Shen, and she can't help but be clever at this time.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she laughed, "What a clever girl!" β
The women sitting with him below also laughed.
Empress Liu looked at Shen Yan deeply, and said with a smile: "The Shen family has strict etiquette, and the children of the Shen family see more on weekdays, but the young lady sees less. Although Miss Yan is only ten years old, she is neither humble nor arrogant, nor in a hurry, which shows the origin of family education and is a real lady. β
As she spoke, she beckoned back, and a palace maid came up with a box in her hand. Queen Liu took a look, picked out a pair of white night pearls the size of pigeon eggs from the box, took an inch square of sandalwood with yellow silk at the bottom, and handed it to Shen Yan with a smile: "You have a smart temperament, and the palace wants to come and go, but this night pearl is very suitable for you." β
Shen Yan looked at her hands, although her skin was fair and delicate, her knuckles were slightly protruding, and her palms were a little too big, not quite like the hands of a noble lady from a noble background that she was used to. However, it corresponds to the history of her farming when she was a child, which is also reasonable.
She knelt down and took it: "Shen Yan thanked the queen mother, and may the mother stay forever." β
Since the queen praised her so much, of course she had to express it.
When it comes to the pain she suffered in her previous life, how could the queen not have a little responsibility? Although she didn't hate her to the point where the emperor and Mrs. Shen were like Cheng DΓΉ, if she hadn't wanted him to leave the Hua family in order for Shen Guanyu to be used by her for a longer time, how could Hua have died? Therefore, she didn't want her life to go too smoothly, first of all, she wanted King Zheng to be the crown prince, and she didn't want her to succeed.
But how to take this step and how to handle the proportions, she has not yet thought about it.
Empress Liu has rewarded such a heavy gift here, of course Concubine Yang Shu can't help but express it. And she is the hot favorite concubine by the emperor's side, how can she be compared to the queen?
Shen Yan stood up, and Yu Guang could see her unconvincing from behind her smile. She paused, simply stopped her steps to leave, and said to the queen with that innocent-looking face: "It's the first time Shen Yan has seen such a big night pearl. The mother gives love, and Shen Yan must be cherished. β
When Empress Liu heard this, she smiled dignified and said, "No need to be polite. β
Before she got up, Concubine Yang Shu spoke with a smile in the same friendly tone: "Legend has it that the Hua family has one-fourth of the wealth, and the antiques and treasures at home are piled up, Miss Shen has lived in Jinling for many years, and she has never seen any rare treasures, and the night pearl is bigger than this, I am afraid that it has already been there." β
A quarter of the wealth! The reason why the Hua family is remembered by the emperor is the result of you people who have bewitched the public from the side, right?
Even she has inquired about living in Jinling for many years, how much effort has this been spent on the Shen family?
Shen Yan hurriedly said: "Concubine Niangniang has been raised." It's just that one-half of the family in this big quarter can not afford the Hua family, the whole world is not the king's land, every grass and tree in the world belongs to the Son of Heaven, and the Hua family even has a net worth and a life of the country and the society, how dare they claim to have the wealth of the Great Zhou? The Hua family is just a servant of the emperor, and they are satisfied if they can do errands for the emperor and the queen mother. β
Yang Shufei heard this, although the smile was still on her face, her eyes had become deeper.
Everyone in the audience seemed to feel this strangeness, and they all held their breath and cohesively. Even the Queen Mother picked up the ginseng tea, as if she couldn't see it.
Shen Yan stood calmly holding the pair of night pearls, as if he didn't realize that it was a trap just now.
This concubine is not a good thing, she dares to apportion the Hua family in front of so many people, isn't she eager to push the Hua family into the fire pit immediately? is such a person, if the king of Chu defeats the queen King Zheng in the future, becomes the emperor, and the concubine becomes the queen mother, there will be no peace in the palace for the time being, and she will inevitably intervene in the court to prove that there is a sense of zΓ i.
How many court turmoil in history have arisen because of a woman like her.
But if even she is pulled out, the king of Chu will inevitably become the emperor, and who will sit on this country at that time?
Shen Yan never thought that one day he would have to worry about such a fatal thing. R1152
