After dinner, Zhao Shijiao and his master Pei Yanjie had something to discuss, so they went to the study to meet guests.

Shen Wanzhen didn't sleep much at night, and she was tired again at noon, so she put down her chopsticks, and she was angry, and she went to Xinuan Pavilion to pour down on the kang, and she slept darkly.

When Zhao Shijiao came back, it was quiet in the dormitory, and a maid was sitting idle in the main hall, hearing footsteps, but her body didn't move, "Where is the princess?" ”

The maid listened to the man's voice, so she stood up in a panic, glanced at him, a little shy, pointed to Xinuan Pavilion, and even forgot to open the curtain, Zhao Shijiao lifted the curtain and went in.

I saw that on the couch of the Xinuan Pavilion, the shark yarn tent was half-covered, probably the dragon heat in the warm pavilion, a white slender leg stretched out from the gauze tent and put it on the side of the kang, Zhao Shijiao walked over with a smile.

She hugged the quilt, the rose red gauze was scattered, the jade body was half covered and half hidden, because of the heat, her face was crimson, her face was a layer of water, and the skin that was usually slightly lighter in blood only added a little color.

As soon as he saw her sleeping position, he smiled, he gently put her ** on it, but at this time, she turned over, face up, and muttered in her mouth, "water"

He walked to the table, lifted the teapot, poured a glass of water, touched it with his hand, warmed, and brought it to the side of the kang, she lay face up, he was afraid that she would choke on the edge of the kang while lying down, he sat on the edge of the kang, hugged her and half sat up, put the cup to her lips, she instinctively opened her mouth, the water slowly flowed into her mouth, she muttered with satisfaction, and leaned her head softly on his chest.

He put the water cup on the edge of the kang, hugged her, reluctant to put it down, looked down, the corners of her lips were a little upturned in her sleep, probably dreaming of something happy, he lowered his head and kissed her little thin lips, she fell asleep and was unconscious.

The neckline of her gauze was scattered, revealing a small piece of snow-white slender neck, and he buried his head in her collarbone, kissing lightly, probably itching, she seemed uncomfortable, and her delicate body writhed.

He was afraid of waking her up, so he left his lips, raised his head, looked at it with bare eyes, and couldn't eat it all the time, and he was a little angry in his heart.

At this time, her eyes narrowed and she muttered, "When did you come back?" ”

He hugged her tightly and whispered in his ear, "Does it still hurt there?" ”

She was a little confused, didn't hear clearly, and muttered a repeat, "What hurts?" After repeating this sentence, his eyes suddenly opened, he broke free from his arms in a panic, sat up straight, pulled his middle coat up, and glared at him vigilantly, "Lord Wang, the blue sky and the white sun ......"

He sighed heavily, complaining, "Wait until it gets dark, there are still many hours." ”

She pulled his sleeve and softened her breath and coaxed: "The prince didn't sleep well last night, squint first, and it will be dark when you wake up." ”

He understands that it is easy to act when it is dark.

He had no choice but to get on the kang and lay down next to her, and she moved in, separated from him by a wide gap, for fear that he would miss him.

He lay on his side and stared at her without sleeping, she met his dark eyes, which were full of things, she knew at a glance, she knew what he was going to do next, and before she could get up, he pounced on her and pressed her down on the kang, he reached out and pulled her skirt, she was like a freshly peeled and hard-boiled egg, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed his saliva.

The afternoon sun was shining into the gauze tent, she was shy, struggled a few times, her hands were restrained by him, she couldn't move, she stopped, closed her eyes, he smiled proudly, and the whole person pressed up.

Xiuju entered the main hall from outside the house, and saw the new big girl standing next to the west door, listening to the movement in the middle, Xiuju walked over, the girl was conscious, embarrassed, and withdrew her eyes to peep in.

Xiuju walked to the door, the sound seemed to come from the warm pavilion in the west, far away, very subtle, but the sound was dark, Xiuju understood, the face of the sneer turned red, and he was busy ordering people to boil water.

He climbed down as much as he could, her limbs were weak, and she seemed to make a sound that made her blush in the middle of a trance, she held her face, it was hot, he scratched her flushed cheeks with his fingers, and smiled, she hurriedly pulled the sheet over to cover her body.

He stretched out his arm and put his arm around her, and he was really a little tired, and after not much effort, he fell asleep.

There seems to be a slight sound of broken footsteps in the outer blue gauze cupboard, which is the maid's walking footsteps lightly, afraid of noisy masters.

Shen Xuanzhen saw that he was asleep, gently moved his arm down, got up and put on a cotton silk, and went out of the blue yarn cupboard, Xiuju and Qiaoshan had just mixed the water, saw her come out, and said softly: "The water is just right, the master washes it!" ”。

Shen Wanzhen was lying on her back in the water, her head resting on the side of the wooden barrel, thinking back to the situation in the room, snickering, suddenly, she found that a red line appeared in the clear water, spreading, she was stunned, and her heart said that it was not good, the menstrual affair was coming.

closed his eyes, secretly glad that he had just let him get his wish, otherwise in six or seven days, he wouldn't have held back the fire.

Xiuju and Qiaoshan served her to get dressed, she listened to the slight snoring in the west room, and knew that he was sleeping soundly, afraid of disturbing him, she opened the door and went out to the bright room.

As soon as I went out, I saw the big girl who was newly sold by my grandmother for her marriage, sitting on the stool in front of the window in a daze, she came out, and the girl was so absorbed that she didn't feel it.

Xiuju just came out with water, looking at this scene, and wanted to call her, Shen Wanzhen waved her hand and walked to sit on the arhat with a dragon pattern carved in rosewood.

At this time, the newly bought little maid came out of the east room, saw the princess sitting on the couch at a glance, and hurriedly went to the table by the window to get the teapot and pour tea for the princess, alarming the new big girl, turned around, and saw Shen Wanzhen staring at her, she was really frightened, she was at a loss, and hurriedly stood up.

"What's your name?" Shen Wanzhen didn't bother to ask her name.

"Yue Shumei" her expression became light, and her head was raised a little higher.

"This name is a bit tongue-twisting, and it will be called Hanxiang in the future, and it is convenient to call it" Dafan sold himself as a slave and became a maid of Mrs. and Miss, and the name was taken by the master, not the original boudoir name.

"The name was given by ...... parents" Yue Shumei didn't seem to be very happy, probably thinking that this name was a bit vulgar, and there was a slight look of disdain on her face.

Shen Wanzhen doesn't like it, this girl always has a high and arrogant attitude, people are self-aware, to what point she says something, this is in front of her, if she had changed to another master, she would have been allowed to do it a long time ago, these days, Shen Wanzhen looked at her as if she had nothing to do, always in a daze, embroidering chrysanthemums and other busy work, not calling her, she turned a blind eye, it was Mama Yan who instructed her, she was too lazy to move.

"Don't thank the master for his grace, don't say a name, you are all the master, and this little life is in the hands of the master." Mama Yan had already come in and heard it, seeing that there was no one from the palace in front of her, she was taught a few words, if the people from the palace saw it and learned, there were no rules, how could the master be powerful.

"If you feel that I have wronged you here, I will not force you to keep you." Shen Wanzhen didn't want to waste her tongue with this kind of person who didn't know the times, she was new to the city, and she couldn't be at the mercy of her own people, how to manage the huge palace.

"The master is kind-hearted, this is a good place to go, and if you leave here, you will suffer." Mrs. Yan saw that she was confused, so she had to persuade her.

Yue Shumei was frightened, and knelt down aggrievedly, "Thank you for your grace." ”

The fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and this thing must have capital to become a thing.

"You don't have to come up and wait in the future, it's enough to have two waiters in this room, Xiuju and Qiaoshan."

"Yes, master" Yue Shumei kowtowed, got up, and said something in a sneer.

"The heart is higher than the sky, and life is thinner than paper." Shen Wanzhen sighed.

The new little girl just poured tea for the master, saw that the master didn't drink it, and put it on the table next to her, at this moment, seeing the master stretching out his hand again, the little girl hurriedly picked up the teacup and presented it to the master.

Shen Wanzhen picked up the teacup, picked up the teacup lid with her fingers, the chrysanthemums floating on the water, and rushed to the side with the teacup lid, remembered, looked up and asked the little girl, "What's your name?" ”

"The slave maid is poor, there are many sisters, and there is no name in the next life, the second among the girls, it is called Erya, the master is well-educated, give the slave and maid a name!"

Shen Wanzhen looked at her and smiled, this little girl is clever, she glanced at the chrysanthemums floating on the water, and said, "Your name is Mohe!" ”

The little girl called Erya hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for your grace." ”

"You will wait in this house in the future, and you will not learn anything from Sister Xiuju and Sister Qiaoshan." Shen Wanzhen thought that there were a little few big girls in the house, and this little girl knew the height of her eyebrows, so she might as well stay in the house and take a closer look.

This became the princess's personal big girl, and Mo He knelt down and kowtowed for the second time, "Thank you for raising your master." He got up and was busy carrying water with Xiuju and Qiaoshan.

This princess's personal big maid is much higher than other maids, this is a rare good errand, just serve tea and water, the work is also light, and the treatment is good, of course Mohe is happy, although she has only been here for a few days, she found that the princess is kind, and she does not beat or scold her subordinates, and makes up her mind to follow the princess well.

Shen Wanzhen watched as several maids were busy preparing hot water for the prince, waiting for the prince to get up.

At this time, I heard a shout from the house, and the voice of "princess" was very loud.

Shen Wanzhen hurriedly went in, Zhao Shijiao opened his eyes and lay on the kang, watching her come in, "You washed?" ”

"After washing, the fragrant soup is ready, the prince will wash it."

Zhao Shijiao had already sat up, looked at her, and said, "This king wants the princess to serve herself." ”

Shen Wanzhen bit her lower lip white with a row of snow-white teeth, and after a long time, she whispered: "I'm here."

"What's coming?" Zhao Shijiao repeated, suddenly understood, but his face was not in disbelief, he leaned forward sharply and grabbed her hand, "Come up, this king will check it, is it true?" ”

Shen Wanzhen was pulled by him, almost fell on the kang, struggled twice, saw him lift his skirt, and hurriedly held it down, "Really"

Zhao Shijiao saw that her face turned red in a hurry, and let go of his hand, "Don't lie to me." ”

Shen Wanzhen shook her head, "I don't lie to you"

Zhao Shijiao sighed helplessly, let go of her, and wanted to go to the ground, Shen Wanzhen hurriedly squatted to help him put on his shoes.

Shen Wanzhen lowered her head, squatted next to the pedal to put on boots for him, Zhao Shijiao rubbed the top of her head, "This hangs the appetite of this king, and when it's over, this king has to take advantage of it." ”

Shen Wanzhen lowered her head, embarrassed to raise her eyes to look at him.

After Xiuju and Qiaoshan finished putting out the water, they walked out of Lu to call the two eunuchs who were waiting in front of the prince, one was called Jixiang and the other was Fusheng, who came in to wait.

Shen Wanzhen had nothing to do, so he took advantage of his bathing and walked out of the house, Xiuju hurriedly chased out, holding a big red feather satin cloak with gray squirrel hair in his hand, and hurriedly put it on his master, Shen Wanzhen said; "Last night, the palace didn't take a closer look, so I'll take a walk around today."

It happened that Mama Yan went up the steps and answered: "The master is crooked after eating, watch stop eating, it's good to go out for a walk, dinner time is almost here." ”

She ate a lot at noon, and she had to have dinner again, and her appetite was full, and she thought to herself, it seemed that the amount of exercise just now was not enough.

As soon as she was discharged from the hospital and walked out not far away, Mrs. Yan came up from behind, holding a lid carved with a clear water and plum hollow charcoal stove in her arms, and stuffed it in her arms, "The master holds this, and his hands are not cold in winter." ”

The three of them walked nearby, and Shen Wanzhen didn't dare to go too far, for fear that Zhao Shijiao would call her after washing and wouldn't find her, so she shouted with her neck straight.

The palace is very large, it takes half a day to walk seriously, the snow on the road is swept clean, the soles of the feet are not slippery, it is almost dinner time, there are few people on the road, occasionally meet a few people in the palace, they all know that she is the princess, the eyes of the people are poisonous, waiting for the master monkey spirit, from the outfit can also see that she is the new master of the palace, the princess newly married by the prince, walk by, they all stop to salute, humbly retreat aside.

Shen Wanzhen walked for a while, estimated that the time was almost the same, and Zhao Shijiao should finish washing, so he walked back with Xiuju and Yan Pozi, passed the hanging flower gate at the end of the road, and arrived at the main courtyard after turning two corners, and suddenly, two people appeared in front of him.

Although her body was tightly covered in winter, Shen Wanzhen could see that it was her sister Shen Wanzhu, after all, her sister had lived together for more than ten years, and she could recognize it just by looking at her back.

Shen Wanzhu was able to bump into her unexpectedly, she was slightly stunned, and wanted to hide, but there was no fork in this straight long road, and she couldn't avoid it, and she wanted to turn around and go, but it seemed that she was afraid of her, so she had to stop and wait for Shen Wanzhen to approach.

Shen Wanzhen walked over slowly, but Shen Wanzhu didn't move, and she didn't salute, but when Shen Wanzhen passed by her, she turned sideways slightly, and whispered: "Sister" Shen Wanzhen listened to her sister call very reluctantly, she was unwilling and unwilling.

Shen Wanzhen didn't look at her, she slowly walked past her, walked a few steps, stopped, and turned around, "Mrs. Shen, should you change your name?" ”

Shen Wanzhu was stunned for a moment, bit her lip stubbornly, and did not answer.

Shen Wanzhen turned around, walked forward, and threw down a sentence, "Call the princess." ”

Shen Wanzhu bit her lip, didn't say a word, bit her lip white, stood in place, and waited for Shen Wanzhen to walk away, she stared hatefully at the direction where her figure disappeared, and spat at the ground.

Frightened, her little girl Yan'er hurriedly looked at whether there was anyone left and right, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, now the third girl is already the princess, and the master has to recognize it if she doesn't recognize it, in public and private, the third girl is the princess, it is better than outsiders, the third girl and the master are from the Shen Mansion, so they should be closer than others." ”

"Hmph, I should have ...... when I saw that she had this in mind," Yan'er exclaimed in fright; Master," Shen Wanzhu swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

"Master, the fifth girl seems to be very unconvinced that the master is the concubine, the old slave is afraid that when she visits the master, she is not big or small in front of the house, she is the master's sister, and the master is not good at what she does, if the master disposes of her, the people in the house will gossip, and they will say that the master is not affectionate, and even his own sister can't tolerate it."

Mama Yan was very worried, the master met the ladies in the palace, and then the people in the palace should wait to meet the princess, others are okay to say, even if they are not convinced, they are not on the surface, only the five girls have this temperament, maybe they dare to get along with the master in person.

"I just wanted to give her a warning, let her know her identity, I am not the sister she looks down on in the palace, I am the princess, the princess who is marrying the Ming media."

Shen Wanzhen looked at the haze in the sky, and gradually cracked a gap, flashing a bright white, the snow was clear, and it seemed that Ming'er was a good day.

As soon as Shen Wanzhen returned to the house, she found that Zhao Shijiao had finished washing, and was leaning on the kang and waiting for her boredly, seeing her come in, she pretended to bluff and said, "Where did you go?" The husband is not waiting? ”

Shen Wanzhen walked to the edge of the kang and sat down, "Stay bored, go for a walk." ”

He grabbed her hand, put it in his palm, and held it, "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will take you to see the lanterns." ”

That night, the two were lying on the kang chatting, and Shen Wanzhen said: "Today, the concubine goes to Kunning Palace, and the queen tests the meaning of the concubine as the prince, which is what the queen mother said, and the prince contributes to the court." ”

In the dark, Zhao Shijiao's face was grim, "How do you answer?" ”

"The concubine said that the prince had never talked to the concubine, and the concubine didn't understand the things in the court."

Zhao Shijiao nodded with satisfaction, "Good answer." ”

Zhao Shijiao lowered his voice, and only the two people in the room could hear it, "Now that the surface of the court is calm, in fact, the inside is turbulent, I don't want to wade into this troubled water, the emperor is the target of everyone, and you should be careful in extraordinary times." ”

"The queen mother asked the concubine to persuade the prince today, with the temperament of the queen mother, if the prince wants to be an idle person, the queen mother may not be willing to agree."

"I don't want to twist the queen mother too much and disappoint her old man, so I discussed it with my master today, and I should participate in some irrelevant things in the imperial court."

"If the prince can think like this, the concubine will be relieved."

Shen Wanzhen wanted to say that Concubine Min Gui and Concubine Xie, with her keen intuition, always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what it was, and her intuition was not necessarily right, especially the complex palace fight, sometimes it is not superficial to judge a person's good or bad, think about it, and swallow back what she wants to say.

"I ordered the people of the Mansion to wait, Ming'er came to see you, you are tired today, have a good night's rest."

Zhao Shijiao was afraid that she would have pressure in her heart, and said: "With me, you don't need to worry about everything." ”

Shen Wanzhen leaned closer to him and whispered, "For you, I'm willing to do my best." ”

Zhao Shijiao hugged her and said firmly; "I believe I can't be mistaken, you will be a good wife, a good princess, and a good daughter-in-law."
