420 Lure the enemy
Chen said: "What trouble is the goose girl in trouble? ”
Mrs. Hua also frowned: "But the King of Chu is making things difficult for you?" ”
Shen Yan knew that the Chen family was also out of concern, but after looking at the ladies walking around, she swallowed her words back in the end, and only said: "Concubine Shu was familiar with me in the palace, and when she saw that I was going to see the Queen Mother alone, she passed me to drink a cup of tea, and then because she was busy with the things ahead, she only said a few words and came out." I walked around the garden for half a lap before I came back. ”
I can't hear anything wrong, but Concubine Shu's mother and son are now fighting for the throne with the queen, and Shen Mi is favored in front of the emperor, so she treats Shen Yan so well, and I am afraid that she will be taken advantage of. Chen nodded and said, "There are big rules in the palace, your little girl's family, don't walk alone after a while." ”
Mrs. Hua also said: "The banquet is about to start, after the banquet, we will accompany the Queen Mother to watch two plays, and then we will go home." ”
Shen Yan naturally didn't want to make any more troubles, and there was no reason not to obey.
The palace has its own pear orchard team, according to the emperor's wishes, the son's birthday is the mother's Good Friday, so it is the queen mother rather than the emperor himself who should accept the congratulations on this day. Therefore, according to the queen mother's preferences, a big stage has been set up in the West Garden, and all the wives need to accompany the queen mother to watch the play before leaving.
Since it is a will, it is natural that it will not dare to disobey.
However, Shen Yan was a little unimpressed with the emperor's form, if the emperor was really as filial as he said, the queen mother would not have stopped it when she saw Concubine Shu beating her as a courtier, and Concubine Shu didn't dare to be as frivolous as Shen Yan in front of everyone, if the emperor was filial. Don't say that Concubine Shu didn't dare, even the queen didn't dare in front of the Queen Mother.
Therefore, she is very disgusted with this kind of fame-and-fame behavior.
But it doesn't matter, whether he is filial or not has nothing to do with her, in court affairs, she is more concerned about who will fall into the hands of the crown prince this time, and Han Ji believes that he is the son of King Chen, I am afraid that even if he embraces the throne of King Chu, it is not so easy for him to be so comfortable as a prince.
No matter what, speeding up the speed of the establishment of the reserve would be beneficial to her and Shen Mi. The purpose of the king of Chu pestering her was only to win the support of the Shen family. If he becomes the crown prince, he will naturally not pester her anymore. And when he became the crown prince, Han Ji secretly restrained him, and things were not so bad that people were worried.
The luncheon was held in the Zhaohua Hall. It's just a banquet. There is nothing to say.
After the feast, they rested for a while. When the palace people came to report that the actors in the West Garden were ready to take the stage, and the Queen Mother had already taken the ride, everyone went to the garden in twos and threes.
The stage is set in Muxiangzhai. Surrounded by flowers and trees, it is about to be used for enjoying the scenery on weekdays, there are many flower shelves on both sides of the porch, the various orchids on the top are elegant and colorful, lined with several flowers and vines outside the eaves, it is really a good place to relax.
There are also many long windows on the four walls, and the courtyard is full of tables and chairs after entering the door, and the stage on the south side has doubled in size, and the attic has been heard by people.
The queen mother, the queen and the concubine, are all upstairs, and at the same time, there are also the wives and family members of the second grade or above on the side.
Shen Yan Chen was originally qualified to go up, because Shen Guanyu was a powerful minister, and she entered the palace by the will of the Queen Mother, but she was more willing to sit downstairs away from the queen and concubines with Mrs. Hua and others. Duchess Rongguo and Duchess Huguo saw the thoughts of Concubine Shu's mother and son about her, and secretly cared for her, and Mrs. Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law helped her, and after she went up to greet the Queen Mother, she got out of her way.
Chen was also impatient to go up and sit down, she had the responsibility of taking care of Shen Yan, and it was convenient to go in and out of the downstairs together, but she was comfortable.
Shen Yan has the habit of taking a nap, and she is a little powerless when she sits down and looks at the halfway out, Mrs. Hua saw that her head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and she couldn't bear it, but there was really no place for her to rest on these four sides, so she said: "I'll go out for a walk with you, wake up and doze off." ”
Where did Shen Yan dare, he hurriedly pressed her: "We are here to accompany the Queen Mother to watch the play, if you let people know that your aunt is leaving, I am afraid it will be disrespectful." I just took a sip of tea and woke up. "The Hua family was careful everywhere, and there was no reason for them to wet their shoes for this matter.
Tea was served here, and the moment she raised her eyes, she was facing a burning gaze in front of her left, Song Ping sat next to Mrs. Song, and she didn't know when she looked straight over, and when she met her gaze, she immediately pursed her lips and turned back.
After suffering a loss, you still stare at her like this, is this still not convinced?
Shen Yan thought of Hua Zhengqing's two marriages that were destroyed one after another, pondered for a moment, and then said to Mrs. Hua: "It's better for me to go out for a walk by myself, I'm still a child anyway, and I won't bother when I leave the table." "Besides, isn't there the Duchess Rongguo, who are covering for her?
Mrs. Hua said, "You are not allowed to go out of the garden." "It's annoying to bump into King Chu again.
Chen also pointed to Chunhui beside him: "Follow the second girl, take care of it carefully." ”
Chunhui was reused by Chen's side when Mama Lin was still there, and after Mama Lin's death, she took charge of Chen's affairs instead. Chen was able to point Chunhui to Shen Yan, and it could be seen that he was interested.
Shen Yan didn't refuse, and got up and went out with Chunhui and Rouge Qingdai.
Song Ping saw her get up here, so she didn't move. And Xiuqin, who had been staring at them upstairs, saw this, and whispered a few words to E's and went downstairs.
Most of them were in the theater, and there was no one else under the corridor except for the palace people guarding the door. The slanting sun casts through the branches and leaves on the wall and the ground, and when the sun shines, it is golden, and the covered area is full of mottles. Shen Yan looked left and right, and chose a place connected by a curved corridor on the right side to walk, where the trees were lush and there were pavilions and pavilions, which was very Jiangnan.
Song Ping followed her for a while, guessed that she was out for a walk, stopped under the bamboo forest at the corner, saw that she was still moving forward after Qingyun Pavilion, suddenly remembered that there was a peony planted by the queen there, pondered for a moment, then raised the maid behind her, and whispered a few words in her ear. After hearing this, the maid hesitated, but still raised her feet and walked forward.
The West Garden is the place where the concubines go, and the flowers and trees here are either taken care of by the Queen Mother or taken care of by the Queen Lady.
In fact, she didn't dare to make Shen Yan worse, even if she didn't resentful of the Shen family, but now it is the Shen family who is favored, this is a fact, Song Huan still has a Shen Mi staring at her head, if she really makes Shen Yan big, she is afraid that Shen Mi will catch some tricks to deal with Song Huan. But she is unwilling to do anything at all, since she has suffered a loss, she should always be allowed to taste some hardships to be balanced.
The peony was planted by the queen, I heard that An Ninghou died at the hands of Shen Guanyu at the beginning, if she knew that it was the peony field destroyed by Shen Yan, could the queen hate her Shen family even more? Even if they don't move because of the matter of the reserve now, they will inevitably fight back in the future.
She glared at Shen Yan's back fiercely, and retreated to stand under the ginkgo tree.
Shen Yan walked for a while, smelling the fresh smell of flowers and trees, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Song Ping really followed, so he silently walked to the corner of the open room, made a look and rouge and said, "You continue to move forward, wait for me in the pavilion in front." ”
Chunhui hesitated, fearing that she would be charged with being inconsiderate. Rouge didn't know what Shen Yan was doing, so she didn't need to say anything, so she pulled Chunhui's sleeve and walked forward.
Shen Yan watched them go down the corridor, then he raised his feet and went up the stairs, and found a palace maid standing under the open hall to greet him: "What's your name?" The flowers embroidered on this garment are so beautiful. As he spoke, he stepped into the open space behind him with his feet.
Shielded by the curtains, the outside can't see the inside of the house at all, but the open Xuan is transparent on all sides, and the position is quite high, so you can vaguely see Song Ping pretending to walk under the ginkgo tree, and on this side, under the shade of the trees, the figure of the rouge has passed by a bunch of peonies and has entered the pavilion.
There were only two palace maids and two eunuchs standing under the corridor, it should be to prevent a lady from wandering around here waiting for the errand, knowing that she was the second lady of the Shen family, so the palace maid hurriedly came in to pour tea, and stood under the curtain with her hands together and replied: "Back to the girl's words, the slave maid is cheaply named Sunset, this flower is embroidered by herself, so that the girl laughs." ”
Xiuqin followed behind and saw Song Ping send the maid away, knowing that something was wrong, so she followed behind the maid without alarming anyone.
I saw that the maid followed Shen Yan and the pedestrians to a tuft of peonies on the side of the road, and when they entered the octagonal pavilion with windows, the maid took advantage of the fact that no one jumped into the flower furrow, destroying most of the precious peonies!
This is a peony planted by the queen herself, Song Ping wants to frame Shen Yan, so that she offends Concubine Shu and then offends the queen? Xiuqin hid behind a tree, her brows furrowed.
This peony was planted by the queen herself, and if it was artificially destroyed, the queen would inevitably be very angry, even if Shen Yan relied on the status of Shen Guanyu's father and son to prevent the queen from pinching her on the spot, but she would definitely hold a grudge afterwards. What's more, today is the emperor's longevity, and the emperor will be happy to have such a disaster on such a day?
In this way, Song Ping not only provoked and deepened the contradiction between the queen and the Shen family, but also made the Shen family add a shadow in the emperor's heart.
In this way, it not only achieved the purpose of making Shen Yan suffer, but also gave the Shen family's father and son small shoes to wear, and Song Ping's small strategy made it impossible to think about it.
But this strategy is good, but it is not helpful to her, and the result of this will not affect the marriage between Han Ji and Shen Yan at all. So what should she do now?
She looked at the figures who had entered the pavilion under the shade of the trees, thought for a moment, pursed her lips and retreated.
Shen Yan could see clearly how the maid destroyed the peony field here, but the embroidery qin in the potential distance had no time to pay attention, and the flying curtain blocked everyone in the open sky, and Song Ping didn't see them. (To be continued......)
PS: I've been so busy lately......
There are still a lot of people and things affected by the palace banquet, both in the back house and in the court, everyone will chase if they are patient, and if they are impatient, they will wait for this wave and then watch it in one breath~
