Chapter 123

The master and servant were talking in the house, there was a 'click' outside, Mrs. Yan hurriedly went out to look, the window of the outer hall was blown open by the wind, Mrs. Yan covered the window, and walked back, seeing the master contemplating and thinking, she knew that the master had an idea, "Master, have you thought about it?" โ€

Shen Wanzhen went through a few concubines in her mind, "The two side concubines can't move, and if they move, someone will stand up and speak, and the two side concubines will also ask for an explanation, and then they will alarm the emperor, sell a concubine, no one takes it seriously, I am newly married to the prince, and I can't get used to that little concubine, it is also reasonable, as for who to sell..."

Shen Wanzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Shen Wanzhu is not worried, Mrs. Xiao's scheming is deeper than anyone else, and staying will be a trouble, but she is usually respectful to me, and she is considered to be in a group, and she can't be sent away, outsiders see it, this matter is not enough to win the trust of people, and the rest is Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Xiao Han, Mrs. Xiao Han, the prince doesn't mean much, Mrs. Yan is affectionate and sexual, and she is very affectionate to the prince, I have made up my mind to send Mrs. Yan away." โ€

"What the master said makes sense, the old slave also thinks so, but Mrs. Yan stopped playing the piano since she beat the prince's life, and she stopped, her house is very quiet now, there is no sound at all, sell her, and find another reason to do it."

"I have a point"

Mama Yan is an old-fashioned person, thinks deeply about everything, weighs it repeatedly, and is a little worried, "Since you want to send it away, you must send it as soon as possible, but if the Xu sisters sell it with Mrs. Yan, the house will definitely set off a lot of waves, and if you do it too quickly, it is easy to expose flaws, and three concubines will be sent out at one time, and the prince will pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he will not make a sound, which is a little unreasonable." โ€

"Mother's concerns are reasonable, although the matter is urgent and not empty, but also try to be as mellow as possible, Sister Xu and Mrs. Yan will deal with it separately, and the prince will also have to make a show, as if he was pinched by me, in order to please me, he didn't dare to say anything, and let me mess around."

"This is seamless, but does the master want to attack Sister Xu first, or Mrs. Yan first?"

"Naturally, Mrs. Yan Xian, if she goes directly to Sister Xu, it is too direct, her intentions are obvious, and she disposes of Mrs. Yan, and the people in the house are prepared, and if they turn around and deal with Sister Xu, it will not cause too much shock and suspicion, so that it can hide people's eyes and ears, and it is not easy for people to suspect the real motive."

Shen Xuanzhen took a breath and paused slightly, "I have to consider the specific implementation details, the details determine success or failure, and it is also an important part, which cannot be ignored, think about it, I will discuss it with my mother." โ€

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps in the outer hall, and Shen Wanzhen knew that Zhao Shijiao was back, so she didn't say anything to Mrs. Yan.

It was late, and the husband and wife lay down and talked, "The bureau has been arranged, so let's do it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the other side will strike first, if we let that side take the lead, our good strategy will be in vain." Zhao Shijiao said decisively.

"I'll start implementing the plan tomorrow, but there are some things that the prince needs to cooperate?"

"How to cooperate? The king listened to the command of the princess, what the princess wanted the king to do, and the king fully cooperated to ensure that the play was performed well and the princess was satisfied. โ€

"As long as the prince has this sentence, the matter is half the success." In the dark, Shen Wanzhen's tone was relaxed, and it was obvious that all the action steps had been well thought out.

Zhao Shijiao secretly grabbed her hand, held it, and said apologetically: "You and me, wronged you, I want to give you a stable life, but it backfired, and let you marry into the palace, but it will bring you more trouble." โ€

"I'm not afraid, since I have identified you, I plan to face all the difficulties with you, I am willing to do anything for you, as long as you are good, as long as you are safe."

The moonlight sprinkled into the account, Shen Wanzhen's expression was determined, Zhao Shijiao was inexplicably moved, and suddenly said, "Why are you so good to me?" โ€

"Because you're good to me? You are the closest person in my world. Shen Wanzhen said softly.

Zhao Shijiao sighed with emotion, "I grew up in the deep palace since I was a child, and I have seen the hot and cold state of the world, brothers turning against each other, father and son cannibalizing, husband and wife calculating, indifferent and without true feelings, how lucky I am, God loves me so much, let me meet you." โ€

"Me too." Shen Wanzhen's voice was crisp and firm.

Their hands rested on the quilt, tightly intertwined.

The next day, a ray of morning light entered the yarn tent, Shen Wanzhen closed her eyes, touched it with her hand, the couch next to her was empty, Zhao Shijiao had already left, Zhao Shijiao was a rare good husband, he went to court before dawn, never alarmed her, and the bits and pieces of the husband and wife got along with each other, all moved her.

"The master is awake" Qiao Shan's voice outside, she was on duty last night, and her subordinates have become deaf and clear-sighted, and the master can know the slightest movement.

The door opened, and Xiuju, Qiaoshan, and Moheyu came in and served her to freshen up.

When she washed her face, Mrs. Yan also came up, the master and servant did not communicate verbally, their eyes met, and the show began today.

The little maids calculated the master's meal time, and it happened that the master washed his face, and as soon as he came out, the breakfast was just on the table, the table was set early, the meal was cold, and it was late, so the master came out and waited, delaying the work, the master was not happy, not early or late, it was just right.

Shen Wanzhen walked out of the west door, walked straight to the table, and said casually, "Let the side concubines come in!" Shen Wanzhen set the rules, and only allowed them to come in and wait when they were eating, but the master didn't get up early, so he waited outside first, and was not allowed to make a noise and disturb the princess.

As soon as Shen Wanzhen sat down, several concubines lined up to come in, stood together, and saluted, "The concubine asks the princess for peace." โ€

Shen Wanzhen's eyelids raised slightly, and she glanced at it, okay, it was neat, and there was no one who took leave, Shen Wanzhen just thought, if Mrs. Yan took leave, it would be just right, there was no need to think about it at all, but she just came up in a good way.

A few side concubines and ladies also symbolically waited, and the princess had a subordinate person, so it was their turn to do it.

Several side concubines and ladies came on an empty stomach in the morning, and the breakfast in the palace could not be opened first because they were finished, if they waited until they finished their breakfast, they would be late, so they got up early in the morning, and some people ate a piece of dim sum at the bottom.

Shen Wanzhen is the princess, and the division is much higher than that of the side concubine, and the porridge on a table can't move a few bites, and you can eat it in one meal.

As soon as the master took the spoon, the subordinates knew that the master had run out of breakfast, so he went down to pick up the table, and the rest of the meal was rewarded to the subordinates to eat.

Shen Wanzhen took the green salt water handed over by Mo He and rinsed her mouth, usually at this time, Shen Wanzhen let Mrs. Concubine Side disperse.

Shen Wanzhen took the hot tea handed by Qiao Shan, put it in her hand, and looked at Mrs. Yan who was standing on the side, "I've been bored these days, the prince is busy with business, Mrs. Yan will stay for a while, I want to listen to Mrs. play a song, and Mrs. Young's song and dance, I also love it very much, one is to enjoy it, and the other is to pass the time,"

Shen Wanzhen's tone was light, it was undoubtedly an insult to Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan was reprimanded by the prince for playing the piano, and she had already spread all over the house, she had become everyone's laughing stock, Shen Wanzhen mentioned it again today, it was nothing more than wanting to deliberately humiliate her.

There were a few concubines holding handkerchiefs in their hands, covering their mouths, snickering, Mrs. Yan blushed, held back her anger, lowered her eyes and said softly: "The prince has ordered that day not to let the concubine play the piano, and the princess's words, the concubine dare not disobey." โ€

Shen Wanzhen sneered in her heart, and said slowly: "I have already told the prince about this, and the prince said that since I love to listen to it, and he is not at home, let you play and sing, it should be regarded as a relief for me." โ€

Shen Xuanzhen's words were mean and a little vicious, which clearly said that Mrs. Yan was in the heart of the prince, and she was a first-class dancer, for the master to be happy and relieve her boredom, and she couldn't hear any respect.

Mrs. Yan heard a soft sneer in her ear, which was from Concubine Xue beside her, and she was embarrassed for a while, and said indifferently: "The concubine is not feeling well today, and the concubine can't obey her fate." โ€

"Bold, Madame even dares to disobey the prince's life." Mrs. Yan scolded.

Mrs. Yan was ashamed of herself, and was reprimanded by a subordinate mother-in-law, and replied, "What are you?" also dare to count the concubines of the prince. โ€

"She's my person, teach you a lesson for me, what's wrong?"

"My sister is so confused, the third-rate maids in the princess's house are also more noble than me." Mrs. Xiao said on the side.

"Come on, go to Mrs. Yan's house to get the piano, today the princess wants to see you singing and dancing, playing the piano, if you want to or not, I can't help you."

A little maid hurriedly ran out of the house to get the piano in Mrs. Yan's house.

Shen Wanzhen lightly buttoned the lid of the teacup, and her face was gloomy, "If you don't have me as a princess in your eyes, don't blame me for being ruthless, the palace temple is small, and it can't accommodate your golden Buddha, you choose another high branch, with your talent and ability, you may climb to the powerful, and it is not impossible for me to be a main room." โ€

Mrs. Yan bit her lip, tears in her eyes, did not say a word, and stood still.

"Since you don't want to leave the palace, just listen to me obediently."

Mrs. Yan held back her tears, lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "The concubine is willing to smile at Princess Bo." โ€

"That's good," Shen Wanzhen glanced at a few gloating concubines, "You guys retreat!" โ€

"Yes, princess" The concubines bowed and retreated, and glanced at Mrs. Yan when they left.

'Bang Bang' two crisp sounds, Shen Wanzhen slapped her slap twice, and two female disciples of the pear garden walked out behind the curtain, one holding the pipa and the other holding the qin.

The two came in and saluted, "See the princess." โ€

"Give the seat" Shen Wanzhen lightly opened her lips.

The maid put two embroidered piers on the side of the hall, and the two of them took their seats.

The music sounded slowly, and it was the song that Mrs. Yan danced with.

Mrs. Yan was ashamed and humiliated, took off her outer coat, only wore the inner gauze, and with great reluctance, walked to the middle of the hall, flicked her cloud sleeves, and danced.

Shen Wanzhen sat on the bamboo couch of the Xiangfei concubine, next to the begonia lacquer and painted gold small kang table, the maid put a plate of snacks on the table, Shen Wanzhen and his party drank tea, and the group swallowed melon seeds in their mouths, leisurely watching the song and dance in front of them.

The ancient song and dance is good-looking, the dancing girl is thinly dressed, very elegant, the same dance, it looks wonderful, and Mrs. Yan is skilled in dancing. It just didn't really impress her.

At the end of the song, Mrs. Yan held back her grievances, squatted down, and stepped aside.

Shen Wanzhen stood up, walked slowly to her side, stared at her with a smile, Mrs. Yan's eyes drooped slightly, Shen Wanzhen showed ten fingers from her sleeve, raised her jade arm, hooked her jaw with two fingers, and looked at her pretty face, "I don't understand, but I can see that Mrs. doesn't have that day's heart, I understand, it's the prince's absence, Mrs. is not interested, and she has no heart." โ€

Mrs. Yan's eyes were aggrieved, there were hidden tears, her lips were pursed, and she didn't answer.

Shen Wanzhen put down her arm, took out the handkerchief under her armpit, wiped her hand, and threw the handkerchief on the ground casually.

"I just didn't taste the taste, maybe it's because I don't have a good understanding of singing and dancing, I always feel that Mrs. lacks a little spirituality in this dance, too dull, as if she coped with things, this can't be done, even if the prince is not there, Mrs. should be like the prince is here, thinking that this princess is so easy to fool? Madame danced again. โ€

Mrs. Yan wrenched her clothes in her hands, how could she have suffered this kind of grievance and humiliation.

Shen Wanzhen slapped her palm, and the sound of the song sounded, and the two female disciples of Liyuan still played the tune.

Mrs. Yan stood still, and Shen Wanzhen sneered, "Mrs. Yan, it seems that this princess is going to make you not move, so who can make you willing?" It seems that there is only one person, hey! It's a pity that that person just doesn't understand your mind. โ€

"Madame is just a dancing girl, since she is lowly, you don't have to pretend to be noble, the princess loves to watch you dance, she is to promote you, to be cheap, if the princess dislikes you and is not satisfied with your dancing skills, it is nothing for the prince to spend a lot of money to buy a few dancing girls." Mama Yan's words completely hit Mrs. Yan's self-esteem, and it was clear that this kind of kung fu could be bought with money.

Mrs. Yan knew in her heart that the princess spoke in front of the princess, the princess wanted to watch singing and dancing, not to mention that the princess spent money to buy a few dancing girls, even if the popular dancing girls in the entire capital were all covered, it was not impossible to do it, if that was the case, it would not be uncommon for her to have this ability.

"The song has never been," Shen Wanzhen ordered.

Mrs. Yan had no choice but to move the lotus step lightly, stand in the center of the hall, and dance to the sound of the song.

As soon as she was halfway through a tune, Shen Wanzhen suddenly shouted, "Enough, can you deal with me?" Jumping weakly, as if you can't live with death, I'm too lazy to look at your delicate state of a disease-free โ–กโ–ก, are you also dancing like this in front of the prince? Without the eyes of the prince, you can't dance well? โ€

The maid who followed Mrs. Yan on the side hurriedly said: "The princess forgives the sin, my master is uncomfortable getting up this morning, and he insisted on saying goodbye to the princess." โ€

The little maid stabbed her with her hand, meaning to make her soft, Mrs. Yan lowered her head and reluctantly said, "The concubine is not happy, and the princess will take care of it." โ€

"Nine out of ten days are uncomfortable, is it because I can't see the prince, don't think I don't know your mind, a dancing girl, dare to be delusional."

"Master, Mrs. Yan's piano has been fetched." The little maid came in with the piano in her arms.

Shen Wanzhen motioned to put it on, and the embroidered chrysanthemum was placed on the long table.

"Madame, please"

Mrs. Yan walked over and sat down, and for a moment, her index finger was lightly raised, and a string of smooth tunes flowed out of her fingers.

Shen Wanzhen really felt good when she listened to it, the song was like a clear stream flowing slowly, like a breeze, comfortable and comfortable, the soft light sprinkled on her hair, shoulders, pale green gauze, and Mrs. Yan's silhouette was extremely beautiful.

At the end of the song, Shen Wanzhen was still unsatisfied, "Play another tune, this song is good." โ€

Mrs. Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up from the piano bench, "The concubine is uncomfortable, so I will play it for the princess another day." โ€

Shen Wanzhen leaned on the bamboo collapse, holding her head in her hands, tilting her head to look at her, a hint of mockery on the corner of her lips, "If I remember correctly, Madame is a cold day, and it takes a few hours to play, I just listened to a song, and Madam became impatient." โ€

Shen Xuanzhen's expression was contemptuous, Mrs. Yan felt deeply humiliated, and her attitude couldn't help but be cold, "The concubine is really powerless, so I beg the princess to raise her noble hand and let the concubine go." โ€

Shen Wanzhen straightened her waist, stood up lazily, walked up to her, and whispered in her ear: "I know that you love the prince, but unfortunately the prince doesn't love you, and his heart is high, so he takes his own humiliation." โ€

Shen Wanzhen could see clearly from a close distance, Mrs. Yan trembled all over, her lips trembled, and even her thin clothes trembled, and she didn't avoid it, but met her gaze, and said excitedly: "What if you are the princess?" But for your good life, I am a dancing girl, and my status is low, so I shouldn't be insulted like you. โ€

Shen Wanzhen's face was cold, and she said sharply: "Bold, dare to commit a crime, the family rules are not allowed, and someone comes." โ€

A few maids and servants were eager to try and were about to step forward, but Shen Wanzhen changed her words, "Find a tooth woman." โ€

Everyone was stunned, and Shen Wanzhen said loudly: "I didn't hear clearly, find a tooth woman, the palace can't tolerate such a fox, the dignified palace is not a hook fence, and the princess can't get used to her." โ€

When Mrs. Yan heard the princess say that she was betrayed, she was stunned at first, and then she was angry, but she was not panicked and afraid, she looked at her coldly, and said arrogantly: "The concubine is not sold when the princess says she will sell, the concubine does not talk to the princess, only to the prince." โ€

Shen Wanzhen sneered, "Okay, then let's see if I can sell you today, but I still can't sell you." โ€

Shen Wanzhen's eyebrows were raised, and her eyes were fierce, "Find a tooth woman immediately, don't ask for much money, and take people away." โ€

"Take it down, I can't see her arrogance."

The maids and servants stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan has done so far, regardless of etiquette, she is humble and humble, and shouted sharply: "You seduce the prince, favor you, Zhenri dominates the prince alone, and no one else is allowed to get involved, what's wrong with me like the prince?" I am also his concubine, and like you, I have the right to like the prince. โ€

Shen Wanzhen smiled, "It's just a joke, he is my husband, we are the head husband and wife, husband and wife are in love, how can we seduce?" You are different from me, he is my husband, but he is your master, this is the most essential difference between the two of us. โ€

A maid and servant woman didn't allow her to say more, and pushed her down to the palace, "You snake and scorpion heart, persecuting concubines, the prince knows that the road will not surround you." Madame Yan shouted hoarsely.

The shouting gradually faded away, and disappeared outside the door after the most reluctance, Shen Wanzhen gave Yan Pozi a look, and Yan Pozi went out of the house, waiting for the Ya Po to come and lead the people.

Shen Wanzhen said in her heart, this is done, and let's see the highlight tomorrow.

After coming over for a while, Mrs. Yan came in, "Mrs. Yan is working to the death, clamoring to see the prince, saying that if she can't see the prince, she won't go there even if she dies." โ€

"I'll go see her, and Mom will lead the way."

Mrs. Yan was in the west wing, and a few servants at the door watched, and as soon as Shen Wanzhen and Mrs. Yan turned around the main room along the corridor, they heard the sound of the second room in the west wing pounding on the door from the inside, combined with Mrs. Yan's sad and heartfelt cries.

Seeing the master coming, the daughter-in-law who was guarding the door hurriedly retreated, "Back to the master, Mrs. Yan yelled, and the slaves and maids didn't listen to the persuasion, so they had to clamor to see the prince." โ€

"Open the door." The daughter-in-law took out the key and unlocked it, Mrs. Yan heard the movement at the door, so she didn't make a fuss, as soon as the door opened, she saw that it was Shen Wanzhen, and she stalked her neck, "I want to see the prince, if I can't see the prince, I won't leave the palace even if I die." โ€

Shen Wanzhen entered the house, leaving only Mrs. Yan in front of her, and the other subordinates all let them wait outside.

Shen Wanzhen sat down on a chair, looked at her contemptuously, and smiled lightly at the corner of her lips, "At this time, you are still thinking about the prince, and you still think that the prince can come to protect you?" Who do you think you are? โ€

"No matter what you say, I just want to see the prince, and if I don't see the prince, I will die here." Mrs. Yan's weak body seemed to have a kind of strength to support her, and she was not afraid.

"You are so confident, the prince will help you, to be honest, if I don't have the prince's consent, do I dare to call the shots? The prince has already promised me to send away the unruly concubines in the palace, you are the first one I want to send away, you should feel honored, I value you so much, and there will be people like you in the future. โ€

Mrs. Yan was taken aback, and a little unconvinced, "The prince won't, the prince won't be so ruthless." โ€

Shen Wanzhen chuckled a few times, "Ruthless, has the prince ever had affection for you?" Since there is no affection, there is no despair. โ€

Mrs. Yan blushed a little, "The prince is not a ruthless person, it is you who deal with the concubines of the palace, it is not the prince's original intention, the prince is charmed by you." โ€

Shen Wanzhen shook her head and said, "You are really infatuated, but unfortunately you used it in the wrong place, the prince won't see you, and I won't let you see the prince, he belongs to me alone, do you hear clearly?" I'm not going to give up at all. โ€

Let's say it, Shen Wanzhen got up, walked out slowly, passed by Mrs. Yan, and whispered: "If you want to die, out of the gate of the palace, even if you die, no one will stop you." โ€

She stepped out of the door with her front foot and commanded, "Look, don't let her die here, stain the ground, bad luck." โ€
