Shen Wanzhen and Zhao Shijiao boarded the pavilion of the apse of Qingfeng Temple, facing the fire of the Baoyue Nunnery, Shen Wanzhen was very emotional, and suddenly remembered to ask: "When I lived in the Baoyue Nunnery, there was a group of thugs who made trouble, and then the prince ran away?" I leaned on the backyard wall to see that there was no one, and the prince was gone? ”

"Who said I'm gone, if I'm gone, you can sleep so still, do you think those gangsters are willing to give up?"

"The prince is saying, how many nights do you want to stay outside the nunnery?"

"I'm afraid that you will suffer a few women, and then the queen mother sent someone to find me back, I had to leave, who knows, as soon as I left, there was a fire in the nunnery, and I hated myself for leaving during that time, not guarding you, I thought you were buried in the fire, and I would never see you again, and now I think about it like a nightmare."

Shen Wanzhen's eyes were filled with mist, "Before leaving Beijing that day, the ghost sent me here again, if I don't come, from now on, it will be difficult to see each other again, I now think about it, is it the guidance of the gods in the underworld, or my life." ”

Zhao Shijiao said in a complaining tone: "You know that I can't let you go, and you still want to leave quietly." ”

Shen Wanzhen shook his arm and coaxed: "It's all in the past, and I didn't plan to marry you at that time." ”

Zhao Shijiao hated; "This king said that you are a torturous little goblin."

At dusk, the royal palace and his party returned home.

Shen Wanzhen was really a little tired, since she crossed over, it was the first time she had walked such a long mountain road, she leaned on Zhao Shijiao's shoulder and fell asleep, maybe she slept too deeply, her head slowly slipped to Zhao Shijiao's chest, Zhao Shijiao was afraid that she would wake up, so he hurriedly supported her head, supported her body, and let her sleep comfortably.

It wasn't until the car entered the gate of the palace and stopped suddenly that Shen Wanzhen woke up, the car was a little dark, Zhao Shijiao was afraid that the light would stimulate her, and she couldn't sleep well, so she didn't dare to hold the light in the dark, and her arm had been supporting her for a long time, and she was slightly sore, Zhao Shijiao moved her arm, he supported her with both hands, and she didn't move all the time, afraid that she would wake up if she moved.

Shen Wanzhen stuck it up, took the initiative to kiss his cheek, and whispered; "No one has ever been so nice to me,

What she said was from her heart, in her previous life, her parents divorced, each started a family, she became redundant, her grandparents raised her as an adult, she needed her to take care of her when she was old, and she lived a new life, her father Shen was indistinguishable, her mother was plotting, her half-sister was not close, and she was still lonely.

Falling off the sedan chair, Shen Wanzhen was sleepy and tired, lazy and unwilling to move, Zhao Shizhen saw this, leaned into her waist with one hand, and held up her legs with the other hand, Shen Wanzhen's body suddenly fluttered in the air, and Zhao Shizhen walked out of the sedan chair with her.

Several concubines rested in the sedan chair, did not dare to slack off, although the body was as sore as falling apart, but still held back, stepped forward quickly, stood under the prince's sedan chair, and glimpsed that the prince actually held the princess out of the sedan chair, and they were very surprised.

The princess seemed to be very useful, and she didn't refuse, so she let the prince carry her and go to the room.

Shen Xuanzhen let Zhao Shijiao carry it on the mountain, there were fewer mental obstacles, and he also wanted the princess to see, you are not secretly making it bad, small skills, it doesn't work, the prince still holds himself in the palm of his hand.

Xue Jin and Shen Wanzhu were bored today, and walked to their room, Shen Wanzhu complained: "Sister Xue, I just said that this trick doesn't work, you look at the prince and my sister, it's even more crooked, it makes people look disgusting." ”

Xue Jin was disappointed, things were not as he expected, not only did the prince not get tired of the princess, but he was even more pampered, dark, and had to appease Shen Wanzhu, "Sister don't worry, your sister is a fox trick to deceive the prince temporarily, this time I didn't think about it, I didn't expect her to tell the prince." ”

Three or five days later

Xiuju saw the princess come back from Xishan, and began to paint again, and after painting for two days, she was satisfied with the last painting and smiled with satisfaction.

Shen Xuanzhen said to Xiuju: "Bring the piece of Hetian seed jade that the Queen Mother rewarded." ”

Xiuju didn't know what to do, so he went to the inner room to open the cage, took out a red inlaid gemstone entwined lotus box, took it on the table, opened, inside is a piece of Hetian jade seeds, white as clotted fat in the sun, delicate and soft, moist.

Qiao Shan suddenly understood that the princess had painted these days with her heart, and it turned out to be for .......

Shen Xuanzhen personally took this piece of jade to the best workshop in the capital, Yaxuan Zhai, Yaxuan Zhai's guys looked up at her in surprise when they saw the jade material, and said, "Madame, wait a minute, the little one called our shopkeeper to come out." ”

It didn't take much effort, as soon as the bead curtain sounded, a middle-aged man walked out, bowed his head towards Shen Wanzhen, and glanced at the Tianyu seed jade in the box.

Then he respectfully said: "Madam, please inside." ”

Let Shen Wanzhen sit in the room, and instructed the guy to pour tea, Shen Wanzhen took out the pattern of the painted Lu from her arms and gently put it on the table, "Shopkeeper, carve according to this picture, can you get it in half a month?"

The shopkeeper picked up the picture on the table and looked at her in surprise, his shop is to undertake jade carving work, open the shop for some years, he started as an apprentice, has been doing this industry, has handled countless carvings, carving all kinds of patterns, the pattern is novel and strange, he is not surprised, after all, the customers are wealthy dignitaries, people pay money, want to carve what it is, what it is, he just needs to follow the picture, not out of shape, as far as possible.

But now this lady is going to carve a pair of men and women, at a glance it looks like a pair of lovers, although this is a sketch, the lines are simple and smooth, but to show self-evident, is this pair of men and women in love lingering feelings, sighing that the world is not ancient in this year, this painting of men and women like the body and soul convergence, into one, the jade carving pattern has always been mostly Fu Lu Xishou, this lady has a novel idea, the man in this picture is not a layman, the shopkeeper's secret thought, it seems that this work should be very careful.

So the way; "Madame is in a hurry, if you can give a few days, you should not be satisfied with Madame, if Madame is convenient to say what the person is used for, maybe the artistic conception can not be understood thoroughly."

Shen Wanzhen smiled and said: "It's okay to say this, it's a birthday gift for my husband, the price is not a problem, so try to be the best." ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I understand, do your best." ”

The shopkeeper kept sending Shen Wanzhen out of the door, watching her get on the sedan chair, and he suddenly understood that this sedan chair turned out to be from King An's mansion, and the woman's attitude must be Princess An, this job must not be sloppy.

Just about to turn around, from the other direction, came another sedan chair in the palace, the shopkeeper saw it, and breathed a sigh of relief, it was the sedan chair of the Ping Palace.

The shopkeeper stood respectfully at the head of the door, and waited for King Ping to get off the sedan chair.

King Ping got off the sedan chair, stopped for a moment, looked at the sedan chair of King An's Mansion in the distance, and thought thoughtfully.

The shopkeeper respectfully let him go to the back hall and said with a smile: "What the prince wants, the small one is ready." ”

Immediately ordered to take it out, it was a small jade Buddha statue.

King Ping looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, asked the attendant to put it away, and asked again: "The people from King An's Mansion came just now?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I just came, and the small guess is that Princess An is carving a thing." ”

"Something, take it out and I'll take a look." King Ping is interested in authenticity.

"This ......," the shopkeeper hesitated.

"Huh? The words of this king, it's not good, don't forget that I and King An are brothers, what are you afraid of as a family? ”

When the shopkeeper saw that the prince's face changed, he hurriedly went to the inner room in person, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and came out with the box.

Put it on the table in front of King Ping and open it, King Ping glanced at the jade, didn't have much interest, picked up the picture, looked at it carefully, his lips were raised, and he sneered, "What a husband and wife." ”

The shopkeeper listened to a sour taste, and he didn't understand the mind of the prince.

Shen Wanzhen went by the way to buy the pastries of Qingfeng Hall that Zhao Shijiao loved to eat, and then went back to the palace, and the sedan chair fell from the hanging flower door, and there were third-class little maids waiting in the upper room on the middle door, and the princess got off the sedan chair and replied: "Xue commanded Mrs. Xue to come to the palace to visit Concubine Xue, greet the princess, and wait for tea in the upper room." ”

The people in the princess's room all knew that aside from Concubine Xue, the princess's maiden family and the Xue family were relatives, and outsiders asked to meet in the flower hall to entertain, and Mrs. Xue took them directly to the upper room to wait.

Shen Wanzhen was a little surprised, Mrs. Xue seemed to come to find her on purpose, otherwise she would have to wait for her to come back when she went out, I don't know if this is another play?

Xue Jin's mother-in-law Wu is really annoyed these days, after her husband left that day, she went to Yan's house, Yan deliberately provoked him with words, Xue Yanling is a military general, short-tempered, can't eat, and went to the wife to go to the room the next day, the old words were repeated, and incidentally proposed that part of the family property be transferred to the name of Yan's mother and son, to ensure that if he died, Yan's mother and son would not suffer.

Mrs. Xue listened to it angrily, suppressed her anger, and said coldly: "The master has planned everything for the future, is it that the Yan family wants to wait for the master to die, and then split up and live another life, is this a curse that the old man does not live long, or has other intentions, since ancient times, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, the master is gone, the sister-in-law is the head of the house, and there is also my mother-in-law, she has no one in her eyes, or she doesn't want the concubine to treat me as a mother and honor me at all, and she only knows how to honor his aunt in her heart." ”

General Xue saw that his wife was usually obedient, but he didn't expect that the words on the festival were not leaky, and he bit the reason, he was provoked by the concubine for a few words, and he recklessly came to the room to find trouble, wanting to show the prestige of the head of the family, and to harass the lady's temperament.

Mrs. Xue saw that he was annoyed and angry, and hurriedly pulled the words back, and said angrily: "The old man actually said some sad words, the old man was prosperous in the spring and autumn, and he couldn't divide the family when he was alive. ”

Xue Yanling was asked by his wife without words, and he also felt that this matter was a little anxious, no matter what, he still appeased his wife and sister-in-law first, and discussed this matter slowly, so he said: "I arranged it in advance, be prepared, in case something happens suddenly and is caught off guard, how can her mother settle down?" ”

Mrs. Xue didn't feel cold when she heard this, she got married, he was worried about the life of the concubine behind him, why didn't he think about himself at all? smiled bitterly, "Don't say that, master, life and death are fate, maybe I die in front of the master, at that time, it is the fate of the master's sister-in-law who is worried, and there is no one to support him." ”

Xue Yanling listened to her words full of complaints, and also had a trace of shame, "Madame, why do you want to die?" ”

"It's not me who said it, it was the master who mentioned it, and the concubine felt it." Let's say, Mrs. Xue pulled the handkerchief and wiped her tears, she looked very sad, and Xue Yanling was embarrassed to mention to Aunt Yan about part of the family property.

Xue Yanling went out with his front foot, Mrs. Xue shook off the handkerchief and spat on the ground, "Fight for family property, daydream about her, even if I die, I won't be cheap that slut." ”

Feng Baosheng's family said: "The lord asked the lady to block back a few words, Aunt Yan will not be willing to give up if she does not achieve her goal, and she may not have any moths, and the lord will come to the wife to make trouble, this will go on for a long time, the feelings of the husband and wife will be hurt, and the more troublesome they will be, the more they will be divided. ”

Mrs. Xue said angrily: "If you give birth, you will give birth, what if you don't give birth?" You didn't listen to him before he said, thinking about the slut mother and son, I didn't have any thoughts on me, and I was a husband and wife in vain. ”

Feng Baosheng's family thought about it carefully, and suddenly came up with an idea, and said: "Madame, why don't you go to Princess An, this matter is designated as the eldest girl's idea, the princess is Madame's niece in her name, Madame walks around the palace, and relatives come and go with each other, and in common sense, no one gossips." ”

Mrs. Xue thought about it and said: "This is a method, if the princess comes out and doesn't let that person get involved in her mother's affairs, Aunt Yan will lose her arm and support her." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xue came to the palace, she went to Xue Jin first, shh

Fortunately, after waiting for the tea, I heard the voice of the maid outside that the princess was back, so I stood up and saw Shen Wanzhen come in.

Shen Wanzhen asked, "Hello General Xue!" ”

As soon as Shen Wanzhen asked, Mrs. Xue said a complaining word, saying that when their girl returned to her parents' house, how to stir up trouble, instigate her aunt, and let her father make trouble with her.

Shen Wanzhen listened quietly, and did not interject, until Mrs. Xue finished speaking, seeing that Shen Wanzhen did not say anything, Mrs. Xue raised her teary eyes and made a pitiful appearance, "Being persecuted by the eldest girl and her aunt, I can't do anything about it." ”

Shen Wanzhen smiled indifferently at this time, "Concubine Xue is the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother pointed out to the prince, it's not my turn to teach a lesson, if you want to say a lesson, it is also a lesson for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, Xue Concubine is the Queen Mother's person, and she has what the Queen Mother said, how can I say it?" ”

Mrs. Xue's heart moved, Xue Jin was the queen mother's mother to be the princess's side concubine, so Xue Jin was arrogant, if the queen mother didn't like it, and the prince and the princess didn't want to see her, see what regulations she had, and she couldn't manage her own affairs, so there was still a spirit to take care of her mother's affairs?

Mrs. Xue somewhat realized the doorway in Shen Wanzhen's words.

Shen Wanzhen said casually: "The commander of Jingwei makes Lord Zhao's wife very concerned about the Queen Mother, and often summons him into the palace to accompany the Queen Mother to relieve boredom, Mrs. Zhao wants to say that her personality is straightforward, and she is warm-hearted, Lord Zhao is the top boss of her uncle, and her aunt has just arrived in the capital, and other ladies are not familiar with it. ”

Mrs. Xue looked at Shen Wanzhen with good eyes, and said in her heart, she said that the third girl had a good life and became a princess, and the third girl's mind was not simple.

There is no need to go on with this topic, both sides know it, sometimes talking too much, but bad things, always separated by a layer of window paper, both sides are decent.

The two talked about family life, and Mrs. Xue's farewell left.

Shen Xuanzhen ordered someone to send Mrs. Xue out of the house, Mrs. Xue walked to the middle door, and saw Xue Jin's personal maid coming, it was on the master's order, seeing if Mrs. Xue went back, Mrs. Xue avoided the subordinates and whispered, "If your girl has any trouble, tell me the letter quickly." ”

The maid was clever at a glance and whispered, "Madame, don't worry." ”

Mrs. Xue went out of the middle door, got into the sedan chair, and said secretly in her heart: "It seems that the Zhao Mansion should move around often." ”
