Mrs. Xiao's maid Yue'er probed her brain in the second door, Yue'er was waiting for the prince on the order of the master, but she didn't wait for Zhao Shijiao but waited for Shen Wanzhen to come back, she saw that the princess was riding a soft sedan chair, and the maid and servant went to the upper room, so frightened that she quickly hid behind the tree, and waited for Shen Wanzhen to come out before she dared to come out, and hurriedly walked back to the room, Mrs. Xiao was looking out of the window, and saw Yue'er coming back alone, slightly disappointed, and as soon as Yue'er entered the door, she asked: "Where is the prince?" ”

"The prince didn't come back, the princess returned home, and the slave and maid hurried back to report to the master"

"Idiot, what are you afraid of? If you are so afraid of something, what can you do, you go back immediately and wait for the prince, and you will do what I taught you. ”

Yue'er was blamed by the master, so she had to go to the middle door to guard again, and when the prince came back, she just waited for no tea, Zhao Shijiao's figure appeared outside the door, Yue'er was happy, hurriedly walked up to meet her, squatted forward, Liu Ye's eyebrows frowned slightly, and said anxiously: "Please go and see my wife, my wife is not good today, and she fainted twice." ”

Zhao Shijiao was annoyed because of Shen Wanzhen and King Ping's affairs, so he had no intention of paying attention to her, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "I didn't take medicine last night, why is it heavy today?" ”

Said to Chen Fu, who was following behind: "If it doesn't work, let's change a doctor to take a look" Say it, just go, Yue'er didn't give up, what else did she want to say, but Chen Fu stopped her with her eyes, she couldn't see the height of her eyebrows, and she didn't look at the prince's face, and leaned up.

Zhao Shijiao walked quickly to the upper room, stopped his steps, turned his head, and walked back, followed by Chen Fu, Jixiang and Fusheng, and had to follow him and go back, Zhao Shijiao walked out of the hanging flower door and went to the outer study.

Shen Wanzhen saw that King Ping was at ease since she met Lu, and the knot between the two princes was finally untied, and she could rest assured.

At this time, Qiao Shan pushed open the door of the outer hall and asked Xiuju, "Didn't the prince come back?" “

"I didn't see the prince come back, what's wrong?" The sound of embroidered chrysanthemums.

"I just went to the second gate to ask someone to bring something in, and I saw Mrs. Xiao's maid Yue'er, as if she was waiting for the prince, I just walked out not far away, and the prince came into the inner house, I kept an eye on it, and watched Yue'er from a distance to meet the past, I didn't know what to say, I hurried back to tell the master." Qiao Shan's mouth was fast, and she couldn't bear it for a while, so she quickly told Xiuju what she saw.

Xiuju whispered: "The prince must have gone to Mrs. Xiao's house." He also gestured to the house, meaning not to let the master know.

Shen Wanzhen was reading Ming'er's menu from the big kitchen in the house, and she heard it clearly, handed the menu to the woman, and said, "Mrs. Xiao is sick, just make some soft and send it." ”

The woman said: "Eat some rotten porridge to restrain yourself"

Shen Wanzhen shouted Xiuju again, Xiuju was talking to Qiao Shan, listened to the call of the master's house, stuck out her tongue, and went into the house.

"Find a good ginseng and send it to Mrs. Xiao, so that she can make up for her body"

This thing is done for outsiders to see.

"The master's dinner is here, is it time to set the meal?"

Xiuju reluctantly went to the east room to look for ginseng, rummaging for a long time, and found a few little fingers thick, couldn't take it, so I forgot to put it there, and heard that dinner was sent in the hall, so I hurriedly put things away, and went out of the hall to set the table.

Shen Wanzhen thought that Zhao Shijiao went to Mrs. Xiao's house, and she felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't say it, and it was not good to fight with Zhao Shijiao, and she was dumb and ate coptis.

Shen Wanzhen ate alone, sent someone to the concubine's house to call people, she couldn't do this, looking at the table full of dishes, she couldn't raise her appetite, she ate hastily, and she didn't move chopsticks much on the table of dishes, so she removed the table and rewarded the people to eat.

Xiuju took turns to eat, and a few rough girls took advantage of her to go to the front hall to eat, and wiped the floor of the dormitory with water, as soon as she entered the door, there was a coolness, Shen Wanzhen picked up the book that she hadn't finished reading last night, but her mind was not on the book.

She got up and said to the embroidered chrysanthemum beside her: "Take the clothes, I want to go out for a walk." ”

Xiuju hesitated, or said, "Master, it's cold outside at night in winter, if the master is afraid of stopping eating, let's walk around the house."

"Not so squeamish"

The master and servant walked aimlessly along the road, Shen Wanzhen was wearing a thick cotton robe, and she was holding a hand warmer in her hand, the warm and cold air on her body was blowing on her face, cool, and a little dry, the surroundings were very quiet, and occasionally one or two people passed by, and when they saw the princess, they all stopped, and hung their heads to stand aside.

Shen Wanzhen didn't expect that she would be jealous, is it because she cares too much about someone? The concubines in this palace are not as noble as her, but they have some rights like her.

"Ming'er's breakfast will be opened in advance, and I will enter the palace to greet the Queen Mother." Shen Xuanzhen remembered that since the last time she left Cining Palace, she has not entered the palace, she married into the palace, there is no mother-in-law to control her, and she does not have to accept her sister-in-law, nor does she have to wait for her husband, Zhao Shijiao got up early to go to the court, never alarmed her, the town calls slaves and maids, and has no worries about food and clothing, compared to the women of this dynasty, life is a little more free.

The two of them walked to the moon gate of the palace garden, and walked back, and after a short time, they saw the small beast on the high roof of the dormitory.

Entering the weeping flower door, along the west corridor through the end of a door, is the second courtyard, just Qiao Shan carried a pot of hot water from the stove room, saw the two people: "Master, this cold day out of the sun." ”

"Is the prince back?" Shen Wanzhen asked.

Qiao Shan shook her head, her voice lowered, "No"

"Close the courtyard door, cover it up, you don't need to latch the door, anyway, the latch can't stop the prince"

"Yes, Master"

Qiao Shan put a copper kettle of hot water in the hall, and went out of the courtyard to close the door.

After Shen Wanzhen finished washing, she sat on the embroidery pier to remove her makeup, embroidered chrysanthemums to make the bed, and complained: "The prince came back so late these two days, and it hurt the master and others." ”

"It is the prince's freedom to go to which side concubine's wife's house he likes, and when he mentions this in the future, people will hear it, but he will say that we are arrogant and intolerable."

Let's not talk about embroidered chrysanthemums.

Shen Wanzhen pulled out the last hairpin, and suddenly, the black oil hair flowed like a waterfall, hanging down to the waist, "The master has good hair" Qiao Shan said enviously.

At this time, hearing the slightly heavier footsteps of a man, Shen Wanzhen was instantly overjoyed, and her heart was relieved, Zhao Shijiao did not stay in Mrs. Xiao's house.

In fact, Zhao Shijiao has been in the outer study, and he ordered someone to eat in the study for dinner, and slowly lost most of his anger, auspicious to see the prince writing at the desk, and the outer heavenly road was late, afraid that it would be like last night to go in over the wall, so he relied on his courage and reminded: "Lord, in the evening, the middle door will be locked." ”

Zhao Shijiao looked up at the window, the hour was not early, so he hurriedly took Jixiang and Fusheng back to the back house, for fear that it would be too late, Shen Wanzhen shut him out again.

Shen Wanzhen stood up and greeted him, Zhao Shijiao saw Shen Wanzhen for a moment, and remembered that Shen Wanzhen was standing in the snow, and the two of them were Pingwang, smiling brightly and frowning slightly.

Shen Xuanzhen saw Zhao Shijiao frowning, his face darkened and he didn't speak, he walked straight inside, seeing that he was not happy in his heart, and he didn't say much.

Instructed the maid to fetch hot water, personally twisted a hot towel, wiped Zhao Shijiao's face, and the husband and wife went into the Xinuan Pavilion to settle down, Shen Wanzhen personally waited for Zhao Shijiao's wide clothes, usually she waited for him, he looked at her with a smile, moved his hands and feet, and pinched a handful on her waist.

Shen Wanzhen didn't know why he was angry, he didn't speak when he was angry, mistakenly thinking that Zhao Shijiao was worried about Mrs. Xiao's condition, if he didn't want to go back to the upper room, it wouldn't be interesting for her to stay, so he said: "If the prince is not willing to stay in my house, you can go to another room" Her words missed the harsh words of the concubine.

Zhao Shijiao saw her waiting diligently, and his anger almost disappeared, but when he heard her words, he was a little angry, and said with a heavy face: "What, you hate me and want to drive me away?" ”

Shen Wanzhen just took off his coat for him, and listened to what he said with a straight face, it didn't seem like a joke, he got angry, and blurted out: "It's you who want to leave, and I didn't stop you, so I can't show my face." ”

Let's say, I don't care about him when I'm angry, I climbed on the kang first, my face was inward, I wrapped myself in the quilt, and I didn't pay attention to him.

Zhao Shijiao blew out the lights, also went to the kang, and lay flat, listening to Shen Wanzhen's room and not moving, with his back to him, obviously angry.

After a while, Zhao Shijiao turned sideways, stretched out his hand, and wanted to hug her, seeing that Shen Wanzhen's quilt was wrapped tightly, his hand stretched out, and was about to touch her shoulder wrapped in the quilt, and took it back, so, twice, and withdrew his hand again.

Shen Xuanzhen was facing inward, and she didn't sleep, usually she had a little sex, and he took the initiative to coax her, but tonight he didn't even pay attention to her, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he didn't speak, Zhao Shijiao thought she was asleep.

Shen Wanzhen woke up at dawn, the bed next to her was empty, and Zhao Shijiao had left early.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, she saw several old doctors coming out of it, as if they were talking about something, Shen Wanzhen chuckled in her heart, and immediately thought that the Queen Mother was sick, so she hurriedly went in.

As soon as he went up the steps of the dormitory, Cui Changhai came out of the main hall, Cui Changhai hurriedly walked two steps and saluted, "Slave see the princess"

Shen Wanzhen nodded and asked, "I see that there are imperial doctors in and out of the palace, is the queen mother sick?" ”

Cui Changhai immediately had a sad face and coughed, "The queen mother caught a cold after winter, and the emperor ordered the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the queen mother. ”

Shen Wanzhen asked worriedly: "Isn't the Queen Mother's body and bones always tough, how can you say that she is sick when she is sick?" ”

Cui Changhai sighed heavily, "That's on the surface, the Queen Mother has a strong temperament, and with the Spring and Autumn Period, it is not easy to get better." ”

When Shen Wanzhen entered the Queen Mother's bedroom, she thought that the Queen Mother was asleep, and she didn't dare to make a sound, but as soon as she walked to the outer hall, the Queen Mother's weak voice came from inside, "Is it Princess An?" ”

Shen Wanzhen hurriedly agreed, walked two steps, the palace maid at the door opened the curtain, Shen Wanzhen entered the door to see that the queen mother had been supported by a palace maid with her head raised, and hurriedly walked over to help, so that the queen mother was more comfortable.

Empress Dowager Guo showed a smile, "Daughter-in-law, why are you here?"

Shen Wanzhen knelt on the ground and saluted at this moment, "The son of the queen mother asks for peace"

"Didn't the mourning family say that no outsider doesn't need to be polite."

"When the son came last time, the queen mother was fine, how can you say that she is sick?"

"It's not in the way, when you're older, headaches and brain fever are commonplace."

Shen Wanzhen took the palace maid with a bowl of porridge in her hand, sat on the edge of the kang, and fed the queen mother in small bites.
