"If you don't want to go, and you don't want Mrs. Shen to be uncomfortable, I can help you push this matter away." Pei Yuan had no intention of listening to the corner, but when he came over to look for Shen Jiahe, he happened to hear the conversation between the mother and daughter when he passed by the pavilion.

Then he waited in her room until she came back and couldn't wait to tell her that he could help her, and hoped that from now on, as long as she needed help, she would be able to think of herself and not others at the first time.

Shen Jiahe sat down opposite Pei Yuan and personally poured him a cup of tea, she thought about it for a long time before deciding to tell him what she thought in her heart.

"You helped me this time, what about next time? I can't hide in the prime minister's house for the rest of my life. I know you're all for my good, but what I need is to go out and trample all the people waiting to see my jokes under my feet, not under your protective wings. Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Yuan, she hoped that Pei Yuan could understand what she wanted.

And I already owe you too much, and I really don't want to be in debt more, this is what Shen Jiahe didn't say. She didn't know if she would be able to repay him one day, so she felt terrified as she received more and more help.

"So no matter what, you're going to go to this Mid-Autumn Festival, aren't you?" Pei Yuan also looked at her, he was actually a little frustrated, except for the first time she was 'threatened' by her and let her live in the Xianwang Mansion, and every time he took the initiative to help, but every time afterwards, he would feel that even if he didn't help, she would do it well.

Shen Jiahe was looking at him, but when he heard this, he lowered his head to look at the cup in his hand, and only looked at him again after a long time, and told him with a firm look: "Yes, no matter what, I will attend this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet." ”

It may not be easy for her to get out of the safe cave that her family has created for her to fight against the unknown wind and rain outside, but it will allow her to grow.

But obviously Pei Yuan didn't think so, Shen Jiahe's words fell, Pei Yuan didn't answer, the two silently drank a pot of tea, Pei Yuan only whispered 'be careful' and got up to leave.

Shen Jiahe looked at the empty yard, the branches of the blue snowflakes were swinging indiscriminately, and felt that his heart was also in a mess.

He didn't mention the sudden and hasty kiss in the restaurant, and he didn't even say the current relationship between the two of them, maybe he just hoped that he could grow like a silk flower that could cling to him, maybe Shen Jiahe was like this in the past, but now everything has changed.

She wanted to ask him what was going on in his heart, but she didn't dare to touch the subject, a wisp of soul that occupied someone else's body, and she hadn't figured out how to explain it to him.

Shen Jiahe slept very unsteadily this night, she dreamed that Pei Yuan was going the opposite way to her, and the two walked farther and farther, and finally disappeared in the thick fog.

She woke up gasping for breath, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she couldn't help but be stunned on the bed, when did Pei Yuan become such an important existence for her.

Bai Wei hurriedly ran in when she heard the movement, and after lighting the light, she first handed Shen Jiahe a handkerchief, and then found a coat to put on her.

"It's still cold, but don't freeze," Thinking that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet soon, Bai Wei naturally thought that Shen Jiahe was worried about problems at the banquet, "I don't know if the girl from the Yao family will go this time, if she goes, she can still be a companion with the young lady." ”

Shen Jiahe calmed down a little before returning the handkerchief in her hand to Bai Wei: "She has a big belly, it is estimated that she will be detained at home by Yao's mother." ”

As Shen Jiahe guessed, Yao's mother did not allow Yao Xinrou to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, which would make Yao Xinrou still pestering her to grind hard bubbles and wear out her mouth.

"You have a big belly, you have to think about the child, even if you don't go, the queen won't blame you for anything." Yao's mother took away her wrapped arm, and walked to the side to pick up the fan.

Yao Xinrou followed reluctantly, she didn't really want to go to the Laoshizi banquet, she just wanted to see her good friend Shen Jiahe, since she came out of King Kang's mansion, she hadn't seen her yet, she was going to go to Shen's house, but her mother kept her at home and didn't let her leave.

"I'm only five months old, and the imperial doctor also said that I want to go more, mother, you can promise your daughter, otherwise when this child is born, I'm afraid that all the ladies in the capital will forget what Mrs. Cheng looks like!" Yao Xinrou took the fan in Yao's mother's hand and fanned Yao's mother for a while.

Yao's mother thought about it, raised her eyes to look at Yao Xinrou's stomach again, and finally nodded: "Since you want to go so much, then go, but I can say it in front, don't think I don't know what the hell you wanted, you said so much and didn't want to meet Shen Jiahe, but I don't know what the situation will be that day, you are not allowed to mess with me." ”

Now that Yao's mother has relented, Yao Xinrou naturally agrees to everything obediently.

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the breakfast time had passed, so Shen's mother sent Shen Jiahe the maid who had just made the new clothes she had just made yesterday.

Shen Jiahe looked at the gorgeous long skirt and shook his head, turned his head to Bai Wei and ordered, "Change my moon-white cardigan dress with flowers to me." ”

Bai Wei looked at the red pomegranate dress sent by Shen's mother, frowned and asked, "Doesn't Miss wear this?" This one will definitely be able to overwhelm the crowd when worn out tonight. What's more, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and this one will not be too clean. ”

Shen Jiahe nodded affirmatively, and seeing Bai Wei's embarrassed face, he had to explain to her: "I'm not going to compete with those daughters in a beauty pageant, why bother dressing up so ostentatious, although I'm not afraid of those official ladies talking about me behind my back, but as a person who has been suspended, it's better to keep a low profile." ”

Shen's mother looked at Shen Jiahe, who was dressed up, and her eyes couldn't help but light up, although the color of this body was a little plain, but it seemed that her daughter was more fresh and refined, and there was a little bit of the smell of fireworks on her body.

The carriage of the Shen family can only send a few people to the gate of the palace, and all the carriages of the official family must be left outside the palace gate to wait before entering the palace, and their own palace maids stand in front of the door to lead the female dependents of each family into the palace one by one.

Shen Jiahe took Shen's mother and followed behind the female official in the palace and walked slowly towards the harem, she smiled, her eyes looked at Shen's mother firmly, but she was a lot more relieved.

Along the way, from time to time, I would meet other ladies who came to the banquet, but they all seemed to deliberately avoid Shen Jiahe, either they were in a hurry and quickly overtook her, or they were a lot behind.

But their whispers in twos and threes can still make Shen Jiahe hear clearly.

"That's the daughter of the Shen Xiang family? Divorced by King Kang? ”

"What was divorced, it was because people couldn't get used to King Kang's favored concubine and killed his wife, so he invited himself to go to court, if you want to say that it is also a glory for our women, I admire her a lot."

"Hey, it's not that I want to get married in the future, it's not normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that it's a prince, if he succeeds to the throne in the future, there are many three palaces and six courts, and I think she is also a person who has no vision and heart."

Shen Jiahe was unmoved by these words, seeing that Shen's mother couldn't hold her breath and wanted to say something, Shen Jiahe secretly shook her hand and persuaded her in a low voice to dissipate her anger.

When he walked to a Linglong Xuan in the harem, Shen Jiahe saw Yao Xinrou standing there looking around, hurriedly said to his mother, and walked over quickly.

"Xinrou." Shen Jiahe called her out loud as he got closer.

Yao Xinrou hurriedly waved her hand and walked a few steps to her side: "It's great to see you, I haven't been to see you during this time, don't blame me, in fact, I also want to see you, but my mother always doesn't allow me to go out." ”

"You slow down, slow down, be careful of your stomach," Shen Jiahe hurriedly took the other party's hand and said with a smile, "I'm about to become a mother, but my temperament hasn't changed at all." Aren't you looking good right now? Your task now is to take care of the baby, you don't have to worry about me,"

"Yo, isn't this the daughter of the Shen family who was divorced by King Kang? I still have the face to attend the queen's banquet, if I am absolutely embarrassed to go out. And Mrs. Yao actually dared to let Miss Yao play with such a person, so she was not afraid that her daughter would be taken badly? It was the county lord of Xiangyi who spoke, although he tilted his head as if he was talking to his maid, but his eyes were looking at Shen Jiahe, and he was gloating.

Shen Jiahe was going to pull Yao Xinrou to sit down on the stone bench on the side, but when she heard this, she looked over, Yao Xinrou secretly pulled the corner of her clothes, and whispered to her: "This is the county lord of Xiangyi, Jiahe, don't be like her." ”

The county lord of Xiangyi is arrogant by nature, and when she heard that the original owner married into King Kang's mansion for the first time, she said in front of a full house of guests that the daughter of the Shen family was not worthy of King Kang.

Shen Jiahe motioned to Yao Xinrou not to worry, and then raised his head and looked at the county lord of Xiangyi coldly, but his tone became more and more calm: "What did you say?" ”

The county lord of Xiangyi sneered: "Why are you not convinced? I have long said that pheasants can't be phoenixes, just a woman like you who grabs a lot of money, will King Kang be rare? Shame on yourself, isn't it less than a year before King Kang retired? ”

After she finished speaking, she laughed, and the smile was very exaggerated, and some of the nobles around her didn't know whether to agree or agree, and they also laughed together.

Shen Jiahe let go of Yao Xinrou's hand and walked two steps in the direction of the county lord of Xiangyi, before staring at her and saying word by word: "There is an active reconciliation between me and King Kang, if the county lord doesn't believe it, you can verify it in person when you meet King Kang later, so this kind of untrue remarks, I also hope that the county lord can be cautious." ”

Xiangyi was stunned, of course she knew that Shen Jiahe had invited herself to go to court, and no one knew this matter better than her, but she never thought that Shen Jiahe would talk back in public, even if she automatically proposed to leave, she was still an abandoned woman, right? Isn't she ashamed at all?

She was about to open her mouth to refute, but she heard the voice of Manager Xu beside the queen not far away: "The queen mother has arrived!" ”

Therefore, he could only glance at Shen Jiahe resentfully, and then bowed his head in the direction of the queen like everyone else.

"Get up, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you don't have to be formal." The queen walked up to everyone, raised her hand slightly, and then turned her head to look at the county lord Xiangyi, and her voice was a little colder: "Xiangyi, don't be rude to Miss Shen, come to the palace quickly." ”

She looked at Shen Jiahe with a smile again, and her voice was much softer: "Jiahe too, come and let this palace take a look, alas, Shu'er's child has been spoiled by this palace, you have always been a girl who knows the general situation, don't be like him." ”

Shen Jiahe blessed his body, only took two steps forward and stopped, and did not mean to get too close to the queen: "The fate of the courtiers and King Kang is over, since everything has become a thing of the past, the courtiers naturally don't care about anything." ”

Although there is no blame, it also means that there is no possibility between her and King Kang, everyone here is a human spirit, how can they not hear it.
