Chapter Seventy-Four: Help
It was already dark outside, and Chengle had already ordered someone to set up dinner, but Song Heng was not seen for a long time.
Before dinner, he ordered someone to spread the word that he would come to Fangxie Palace to accompany her for dinner, but now there is not even a figure.
Cheng Le secretly glanced at Shen Nanyan, who had already begun to move his chopsticks, and sighed in his heart. The emperor is still in the future, and the master in front of her doesn't send someone to ask, or it's good to send someone to send some food, she actually started to use chopsticks directly, not caring about the emperor at all.
Fortunately, the maid she brought from the house knew how to advance and retreat, and persuaded her, saying that she should wait for the emperor to come and eat.
"It has nothing to do with me whether he comes or not?" Just hear her say that.
She was chosen by Gonggong Zheng to come here to serve the master in front of her wholeheartedly, and nothing else should she get involved in.
Halfway through, Song Heng sent a message saying that there was something important to deal with and asked her to eat first.
Needless to say, she's already started, okay?
What else can Cheng Le do, he had to bite the bullet and answer: "My master has been waiting inside for a long time and has not seen the emperor come up, thanks to my father-in-law's hard work." ”
After returning to the house after answering, Shen Nanyan glanced at Cheng Le lightly: "To be honest, do you think he doesn't know?" ”
She hadn't thought about this question, she was stunned by what this Miss Shen family had done, okay? Usually, any concubine will start directly as soon as the dishes are ready, and she is not afraid that the emperor will come halfway.
Even in ordinary mansions, during the banquet, it is necessary to wait for the elders to sit and move the chopsticks, and the juniors will not start.
Cheng Le replied truthfully: "Fang Cai's mind is extremely chaotic, and she didn't think of this. ”
"It's okay, what if he knows?" Shen Nanyan said lightly.
…………
The days passed in and out, as plain as water. It seems that something big has happened in the court this month, and Song Heng has only come to see her a few times, and each time he has accompanied her to dinner or play chess.
At first, she could still patiently talk to him for a few words, but the more she got to the back, she felt a little forced to laugh. Now that she has been in the harem for nearly a month, she can't find out any news from the outside, and she doesn't know what happened to the Shen family, and whether there is any news from her father.
Song Heng promised her that she would not harm the Shen family, but now her father is still at the border, and on the one hand, he has to deal with the entry of the Northern Qi army into the palace, and on the other hand, he has to prevent people from being unfavorable to him.
At this time, if she tears her face with Song Heng, her Shen family will not only be difficult to protect, but she is afraid that her father will be far away at the border and it will be difficult to return to Beijing.
She has been waiting for an opportunity, and when her father is safe and sound at the border pass, and the news of the class teacher's return to Beijing comes, she can do her own thing with peace of mind.
Qingyin and about to go back to Da Zhou, when she first told her identity, she looked at them in disbelief, thinking that they were coaxing her, and seeing their serious tone, she knew that this was true.
Knowing that she is the princess of Da Zhou, the most important thing is that she still has her parents and relatives in the world, and the joy on her face can't be hidden no matter what. What she longs for most in this life is family affection, although she has forgotten all those tragic memories when she was a child, and ignores them, who knows that now someone tells her her true life experience, she should be glad that she was chic.
Today, I will leave Daliang and go to Dazhou. When she was immersed in the joy of returning to her hometown and seeing her relatives immediately, she suddenly became ashamed when she saw Shen Nanyan sitting on the couch.
She was so obsessed with wanting to go back to Da Zhou that she forgot her young lady's current predicament, she came to the palace with her to rescue Mu Gongzi, but now Mu Gongzi has not rescued her young lady and is still trapped in the palace, and she actually left at this moment.
Qingyin stepped forward to make a cup of tea for Shen Nanyan, and handed it to her personally: "Miss, let's have a cup of tea to moisten your throat." ”
Shen Nanyan stretched out his hand to take the tea, took a sip and put down the teacup, and said with a light expression: "You are going to leave for Da Zhou today, and after a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see each other in the future, so take care." ”
Thinking about comparing with the reluctant red cherry blossoms on the side, Shen Nanyan's expression was too calm, almost making people unable to see all her emotions, mistakenly thinking that she was such a cold-blooded person.
But Qingyin has been by Shen Nanyan's side for a few days, how can she not see her sincerity, she nodded, with some shame on her face: "Miss is in a predicament now, but the slave maid left Miss at this time, and the slave maid can't stand Miss." ”
Shen Nanyan said: "I'm fine now, you can leave with peace of mind, if you have a chance in the future, you can still come to Daliang to see us." ”
Hong Sakura echoed on the side: "Yes, Qingyin, we are safe in the palace now, you can just leave with confidence." ”
After saying goodbye, Cheng Le's voice sounded outside the hall: "Miss Shen, the emperor has sent someone to pick up the light yin girl." ”
Shen Nanyan said his final goodbye: "Go, take care of everything, you are very smart, and you have the protection of your brother, there will be no danger if you want to come." ”
Qingyin nodded, solemnly kowtowed to Shen Nanyan, and went out with a salute.
After taking Qingyin away, Hongying took out the handkerchief in her arms and wiped the corners of her eyes, looking at the back that had long disappeared, and looked in a trance: "Miss, do you say that we will see each other in the future with Qingyin?" ”
"Maybe it's a good thing not to see you." Qingyin, as the princess of the Great Zhou, if they meet in the future, either the Great Zhou sent the princess to make peace in order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, or one of the two sides of the Great Zhou and the Great Liang was defeated and lost the country.
The absence of the relationship means that the relationship between the two countries is as usual, and there will be neither excessive friendship nor hostility. It's not bad that they're in two countries, and they're at peace.
Red Sakura didn't think of so much, she just hoped that one day she could see Qingyin again and reunite with her.
"It's just a pity that Ah Ci hasn't said goodbye to Qingyin yet." Red Sakura has some regrets.
The three of them, as the people who served Shen Nanyan closely, had a better relationship than everyone else in the courtyard, and it was a pity that they couldn't say goodbye to her.
"Song Heng didn't imprison us on the surface, but secretly we didn't have any news with the outside, and I didn't know what happened to the Shen family?" The mention of Ah Ci naturally thought of Shen Jin and them, Shen Nanyan said.
In the past month, they have been staying in Fangxie Palace, except for meal time every day, Shen Nanyan is either reading books or writing poems, and Song Heng does not mention any news about the Shen family every time she comes to see her, only telling her that she will not hurt the Shen family.
Red Sakura spoke: "If you want to exchange news with the young master, in fact, it is not impossible. ”
"What's the solution?" Shen Nanyan looked at her and asked.
"Just a few days ago, a eunuch doing chores in the palace found the slave maid and told the slave maid that he was the person of the Jade Concubine Niangniang, and he also said that the Jade Concubine Niangniang could help us get in touch with the young master." A few days ago, they were inexplicably found by the little eunuch and said that they wanted to help them.
When encountering this kind of thing, the first thing she thought about was whether there would be fraud in this matter, the Jade Concubine Niangniang had no intersection with them, how could she help them for no reason, and besides, the Jade Concubine Niangniang, as the daughter of the prime minister, was the difference in power and favor?
Even if the emperor really likes her young lady, I'm afraid it won't pose any threat to Concubine Yu. Just when she was hesitant to tell her young lady about this, her young lady happened to mention it.
Shen Nanyan pondered for a moment: "What else did she say?" ”
Hong Ying repeated the words of the little eunuch: "The Jade Concubine said that Miss, you can choose not to believe it, but before refusing, let you think about Mu Gongzi." The safety of Mu Gongzi is now in the hands of Miss, whether he is dead or alive, it all depends on Miss's decision. Concubine Yu also said that Miss doesn't have to guess why she wants to help you, Miss will naturally understand. She was afraid that the young lady would not hesitate to agree when she heard about Mu Gongzi because the little eunuch mentioned Mu Gongzi.
"Go and tell him that I agreed." Shen Nanyan said.
"Miss! Do you want to think about it, if this is a trap set by others, Miss, your sacrifice will be in vain. Hong Ying persuaded that although she didn't know what her young lady thought, she knew that now she stayed in the palace and stayed by the emperor's side to sacrifice herself to save Mu Gongzi.
The corners of Shen Nanyan's mouth rarely raised a clear smile, and she looked at Hong Ying: "Do you think that I should come down so quickly when I heard about him?" ”
"Isn't Miss for Mu Gongzi?" Her young lady is such a calm person on weekdays, every time she encounters Mu Gongzi's affairs, she has no reason at all, and she doesn't think about herself at all.
"Silly girl." After sitting for too long, her legs were a little sore, Shen Nanyan stood up and moved her muscles and bones, and it was rare to show a smile these days: "Concubine Yu is willing to help us this time, she must have asked for something, I cooperate with her, but each takes what he needs, how can it be someone else's trap?" “
Originally, seeing that Shen Nanyan was in such a comfortable mood, she couldn't bear to say these bad things again, but Hong Ying was even more afraid that her young lady would be happy, and said: "Miss, the Jade Concubine may not harm us, but what if this is a trap set by the emperor or others?" ”
The hearts of the people in this harem are sinister, extremely complicated, and it is difficult to see through, not to mention that those ladies in the palace are intriguing with each other, that is, the palace maids may have to fight openly and secretly, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
"Rest assured, this decision was made after careful consideration." Shen Nanyan didn't explain, only reassuring Hongying.
The reason why she agreed so quickly after listening to Concubine Yu's words was actually not only the reason why she took what she needed, if she was still skeptical about this matter at the beginning, then after listening to the last sentence, she was almost 100% sure that this word was indeed sent to her by Concubine Yu herself.
This is an extremely private matter, and the blame is that Shen Jin's alcohol consumption is not good, knowing that something will happen when he drinks, but he will get drunk that day.
As soon as he drank, he had to find someone to drink with him, at that time, it was the end of the year, Shen Nanyan followed Shen's father and them back to Beijing on the second day, Shen Jin didn't dare to drink outside, and came to Nanyuan with a pot of wine.
