Chapter 096: Homecoming
When she saw Yan Huai for the first time in her life, she also felt afraid.
But this Yan Huai is only a little older than her, with a childish face, and he can't see the ruthlessness of his previous life at all. Although she was afraid, it quickly disappeared. But at this moment, facing Wang Ren, who was two heads taller than herself, the fear she was pressing in her heart was only getting older and stronger.
Knowing that she is just a small revisionist daughter, although the Xie family has a good future in recent years, it is at best a second-class family in Beijing. How can such an identity be worth Wang Ren's attention?
When her mind was racing, she only thought of the Chengguo Mansion.
The most worthy thing about her is that she only has the family affair of Yan Lin, the second son of Chengguo Gong?
Thinking like this, Xie Shuning pursed her lips, smiled at Wang Ren reluctantly, and said, "Father-in-law, don't blame, it's Shuning who is rude." ”
As she spoke, the expression on her face was like that of a little girl who was ashamed and worried about doing something bad.
Wang Ren looked at it, and the weirdness in his heart was even worse.
Who is he, and how can he look away?
Naturally, it won't!
Therefore, he was sure that the look he had seen in Xie Shuning's eyes before was by no means wrong, but just for a while, the person in front of him seemed to have changed his appearance. If it's an adult, it's just that, and the most important thing in the world is people with deep scheming. But the one in front of me, no matter how you look at it, is a delicate little girl.
How deep can such a person be?
If she is really a scheming person, then why is she so angry?
After thinking about it, Wang Ren felt that he was confused.
But just now Xie Shuning said that he was presumptuous. I'm not wrong. He's just a eunuch, a minion. When he knelt in front of his master, he was not even qualified to lower his eyelids. How could he touch the official lady. Even if he is in a high position now, he is just a dog minion.
Wang Ren smiled bitterly, restrained his chaotic thoughts, and bowed: "Please forgive Miss Eight, the slave just saw that Miss Eight had petals on her hair, so she lost her sense of proportion for a while." As he spoke, he spread out his palms in front of Xie Shuning's eyes.
The jade-like palm has clear lines, and the oblique one cuts the palm in half.
He is a man with severed hands.
And the hand that showed the severed palm was covered with white petals.
I don't know when this petal fell into his hand, and Xie Shuning doesn't know if he really has such a petal on his hair. The only thing she was sure of was that as long as she didn't continue to dig into it, she would be able to get to the bottom of it.
Why not?
She immediately held her breath, adjusted her breath to the most suitable gentle appearance, and smiled and thanked her.
However, after thanking him, without waiting for Wang Ren's reaction, she immediately strode past him and walked out.
Before she crossed the threshold, she heard Wang Ren behind her say remotely: "The ground is slippery on a rainy day. Miss Eight, be careful. ”
Xie Shuning listened, hesitated, and quietly put down the step again, and his steps became slower.
Two palace maids guarding outside. Seeing her come out, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her with an umbrella and asked, "Miss Eight will go back to Yong'an Palace?" ”
Originally, it was supposed to be here for Ji Tong Sakura to come back. But Xie Shuning could not wait, so he said, "Let's go back." I'm a little tired and sleepy. He finished with a pretended smile and a groan. She instructed the older palace maid again, "Sister Lao will go to the princess, and there will be no need for the princess to go one more time later." ”
This arrangement was the most appropriate, and several people went their separate ways.
Xie Shuning was carried by a little palace maid with an umbrella, all the way out of the palace gate, and the heavy rain also stopped suddenly, leaving only a little rain silk.
Walking into the long road to the west of Chuxi Palace, a soft sedan chair was carried in front of you. Xie Shuning looked over from afar, and saw two rows of gorgeously dressed palace maids behind the soft sedan chair, dressed strangely, not the same as the appearance she was used to seeing in the past few days, and even far more luxurious than the few palace maids around the imperial concubine. Along the way, the ring is tinkling, and the powder is fragrant.
Obviously, the people in the sedan chair are not of low grade.
Xie Shuning and the little palace maid retreated to the wall.
Immediately, the sedan chair came to the side, and a refreshing aroma came to the face with a sense of indulgence.
Because of the third old lady, Xie Shuning didn't like the fragrance, and couldn't help frowning when she smelled the smell.
At this moment, a gust of wind passed, and the curtain hanging in front of the soft sedan rose melodiously.
The plain long skirt with lake blue cotton silk trim was exposed, and the palace bun was hidden for a moment. As if sensing the person outside, she looked sideways slightly, and the long tassel under her hair shook gently, reflecting a hibiscus face that became more and more intoxicating.
Xie Shuning bit her lip and held her breath, she knew this face.
The little palace maid with an umbrella beside her lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "It's Concubine Shu." ”
Xie Shuning nodded slightly.
Concubine Shu, a few months ago, she was the most favored little concubine in the palace. Only a few short months later, the palace has been turned upside down, completely different. Concubine Xiao Shu failed to give birth to the fifteenth prince in the end......
After all, she is only in her early twenties now, which is the same age as flowers.
But she is now a concubine.
Xie Shuning thought about the family banquet in the past, and the fourth aunt in the second room, Rong, talked about it in front of everyone, threatening that the master of Puji Temple had calculated that the life of the little concubine was unspeakable. Now that I think about it, I don't know whether this is accurate or not.
She loosened the teeth on her lower lip, her lips spurted, and she sighed softly in the voice of the little palace maid beside her, who could hear it: "The concubine is so young." ”
The little palace maid shook the rain that had gathered on the surface of the umbrella, and explained with a smile: "Concubine Shu is only twenty years old this year, so she is naturally young. "The latter words are not easy to say, among the concubines of Emperor Qinglong, there are actually not many young ones. Among the favored concubines, there is only a little concubine who is younger, and the rest of the concubines are already old.
"The spirit of the concubine is good." Xie Shuning also looked at her and smiled, looking innocent and lovely.
The two walked forward slowly, and the little palace maid looked around, lowered her voice and said, "Among the concubines of the first emperor, Concubine Shu dares to walk outside." ”
Xie Shuning narrowed her eyes when she heard this.
This sounds simple, but if you dig deeper. There's so much to it inside.
There are no people and things in the palace that are not complicated. That's why. Xie Shuning didn't like the palace so much. If it wasn't necessary, she felt. I don't want to step into the imperial city in my life.
After that, she coaxed and persuaded Ji Tongying to stay in Yong'an Palace and not go anywhere.
She didn't want to meet Wang Ren again.
After three more days, the weather finally cleared up, and the sky was clear. She packed her bags, took a bunch of things from the imperial concubine, and led Yuebai back to Xie's house.
Who knows, before leaving. ran into Wang Ren again.
She didn't have time to hide her emotions when she heard the movement, and she staggered to her feet in a panic, and almost fell to the ground.
Wang Ren quickly supported her, looking as warm as jade: "Miss Eight, be careful." ”
Xie Shuning forced himself to calm down, so he didn't immediately pull his hand out of his slightly cool palm.
Although she didn't know what it was for, she would have dared to assert that she had been targeted by Wang Ren, and no matter what it was, there must be something Wang Ren wanted.
This time. She fled the Imperial City almost in a hurry.
It wasn't until the carriage entered the Shijing Hutong in Beicheng that the heart she had been carrying was slightly relaxed. Yuebai, who was traveling with her, saw her solemn expression all the way, and couldn't help but wonder, and asked tentatively, "Miss." But tired? ”
Xie Shuning shook his head, "No." I haven't seen my mother for a few days, and I don't know if my mother misses me. ”
That's true.
Yuebai knew that she was getting older. But he still likes to stick to the Song family, so he smiled and said, "Miss should be out of the cabinet in a few years." Do you have to think like this about Mrs. when the time comes? ”
Xie Shuning glared at her when she heard this, and said angrily: "I'm still young." It's you, it's time to get married. When I entered the door, I went to find Mama Jiang and said, let her find someone for you to go out! ”
"Good young lady, the slave doesn't want to marry!" Yuebai was busy begging for mercy.
However, after getting out of the carriage and entering the door, Xie Shuning did not let go of this matter.
Yuebai's family affairs, she can't help but care.
In her previous life, Yuebai had been by her side and had all the Fantasia years gone, could it be like this this time? Even if Yuebai is willing, she is still reluctant! If there is no suitable family, it will be forgotten, and if there is, she should be allowed to marry from her side in style.
After passing the weeping flower gate, Xie Shuning saw Xie Shumin jumping around in the corridor at a glance, swinging two short little fat legs, without stopping for a moment, babbling and not knowing what he was humming.
The nurse beside her saw Xie Shuning, hurriedly saluted, stepped forward to hug her, and urged her to shout: "Miss Nine, Miss Eight is back." ”
Xie Shumin pinched a cyan bud in her hand, rolled her eyes at the nurse and hid behind her, muttering, "I don't know her!" ”
The nurse was anxious, "Miss Nine, don't talk nonsense!" After speaking, she hurriedly turned her head and smiled at Xie Shuning, "Eighth Miss is not strange, Miss Nine is a small and forgetful person, and she can't remember people if she doesn't see her for a few days." ”
"Why are you making a fuss with her here?" Xie Shuning didn't answer her words, stared at Xie Shumin and asked.
The nurse said abruptly: "Miss Nine likes to play here. ”
The spring sun fell on Xie Shumin's small and short body, as if bathed in a layer of golden light, making her look a little more intelligent. Xie Shuning laughed, "Take the person back to the Begonia Courtyard." But there was no emotion in his voice.
The nurse was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't dare to speak, so she hurriedly picked up the struggling Xie Shumin and left.
Xie Shumin lay on the nurse's shoulder, threw the green shoots in her hand towards Xie Shuning, and shouted: "You are a bad person!" Villain! ”
"Miss Nine, be good, don't talk!" The nurse hurriedly went to cover her mouth.
Xie Shuning listened, raised her head to look at the red sun hanging high outside, greeted the drunken spring wind, collected a smile on her face, and strode towards the Jade Tea Courtyard. (To be continued......)
