After half a month of conditioning, Shen Yimeng's face was much better, he took off the bandages on his face, and looked in the mirror, although the color was still a little dark, but with more powder, he basically couldn't see it.

Shen Yimeng on her face, caressing here, touching there, the smooth and delicate touch made her very satisfied: her face is still very angry with herself, she was splashed with hot soup, and she can recover as before, Shen Qingwan must be angry......

"Three girls, three girls......" Chun Xing shouted, rushing all the way into the Lotus Pavilion.

The good mood of admiring his beauty was interrupted, Shen Yimeng frowned tightly, and scolded angrily: "What are you yelling about? ”

"Third girl, the carriage of the Chu Wangfu has come, and the sixth lady is about to enter the palace......" Chun Xing stopped and panted: "Hey, third girl, why did you take off the bandage, the house doctor said that you should wear it for at least twenty days......"

"My face has been restored to its original state, what are I doing wearing these annoying things, waiting to be laughed at." Shen Yimeng glared at Chun Xing fiercely, not to mention, he was going to enter the palace today to enjoy the lanterns, wearing a bandage and exposing one eye, and he must not be laughed at to death.

"What are you doing in a daze, quickly take my Yunjin cloak, if you delay the time, let Shen Qingwan take the car and leave first, be careful that I pick your skin ......"

Chun Xing quickly opened the cabinet, took out the Yunjin cloak, carefully draped it on Shen Yimeng, and helped Shen Yimeng to walk towards the door quickly.

Out of the house, a cold wind blew, Shen Yimeng only felt a sharp pain on his injured face, and quickly put on his cloak and hat, the injury could not see the wind, it didn't matter, he wore his hat.

Hurrying forward, living up to expectations, when Shen Yimeng came to the door, Shen Qingwan had just arrived at the door and was about to get into the carriage: "Sister! With a cordial greeting, Shen Yimeng walked over quickly: "I'm so bored at home, take me into the palace with you." ”

"Three girls, six young ladies!" Lei Shi also rushed back with Wu Chenglang, and his face with strong makeup was covered with beads of sweat: "You guys are going to enter the palace." ”

"Nonsense, take the carriage of the Chu Palace, what are you doing if you don't enter the palace, go to the barren mountains and mountains." Shen Yimeng replied angrily: For Lord Wu's family, she doesn't like it no matter how she looks at it, especially Wu Chenglang, who is really ordinary in appearance and temperament, and when he throws it into the crowd, he can't find it at all, and he actually pretends to be a guest to live in the Xiangfu, which really ruins the reputation of the Xiangfu.

Lei smiled gently: "When I first came to the capital, I haven't seen much of the world, and I haven't made a few friends, can you take him into the palace with you, see the world, and meet a few more friends......

"Mrs. Wu, the palace is the residence of the emperor, the mother, and the princes, noble, sacred, you must have an identity, a status of people can come and go freely, if any toad can jump in, then what is the difference between the palace and the vegetable market where people come and go?" Shen Yimeng had already looked at the Lei family, and Wu Chenglang was not pleasing to the eye, and now that he found an opportunity to mock the two, he would not let it go easily.

I thought that for the sake of Aunt Wu's affection, coupled with her own three-inch incorruptible tongue, Shen Qingwan and Shen Yimeng would give some face and take Wu Chenglang into the palace to enjoy the lanterns, who would have thought that Shen Yimeng would refuse to say it sternly without thinking about it, and the words were very difficult to hear, Lei Shi was very displeased: "Third girl, Miss Six is still here, it's not your turn to call the shots!" "It's just a concubine who can't be on the stage, but she dares to be so arrogant and lawless in front of herself.

"...... you" Shen Yimeng pointed at Lei's family, speechless angrily, just a pug who survived in the Xiangfu, he actually dared to speak disrespectfully to herself, daring to feel that she lived in the Xiangfu, she was the master, and she didn't teach her a good lesson, she didn't know what her surname was......

Shen Qingwan smiled lightly: "Mrs. Wu, in fact, what the third sister said is right, the palace is the emperor's residence, it is heavily guarded, and the investigation is even more strict, not who wants to enter, can enter, not to mention, it is now in an extraordinary period, if you enter the palace without permission, find out, but the capital crime of killing the head ......" The Lei family wants to make Wu Chenglang go crazy, and dare to do such a thing as entering the palace without permission.

"Then how can I enter the palace?" The palace banquet is full of powerful people, if you can get acquainted with them and get promoted, you will be glorious and rich, and you will enjoy endless benefits.

"If you get this post, you can enter the palace!" Shen Qingwan shook the invitation note that Duan Yuyuan gave her: "Lord Wu is already an official from the fifth grade, Mrs. can ask him if he has received this invitation post, if there is, Ma Gongzi can take it into the palace!" ”

"Then the second girl, wait a minute, I'll ask Lord Wu if you have a post." The father-in-law is already so old, he can't be an official for a few years, he has to tell the old man to return to his hometown, he took the post into the palace, it is a waste at all, it is better to give the post to the waves, the waves are young, there is a lot of potential for development, and it is a great thing for the Wu family to get to know all kinds of high-ranking officials and nobles......

Lord Wu has just arrived in the capital, and the mansion has not yet been built, let alone the luxury carriage, so the Lei family is ready to let Wu Chenglang take Shen Qingwan's carriage to the banquet, Shen Qingwan is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her status is noble, Wu Chenglang and her entering the palace together will definitely arouse people's curiosity, and when the time comes, maybe you don't have to ride the waves to get to know others, others will take the initiative to get to know him...

"Mrs. Wu, men and women are not in the same car, even if Lord Wu has a poster, it is impossible for me to enter the palace in the same car with Ma Gongzi, not to mention, this is the carriage of the Chu Palace, wait for no one, it's not up to me."

Shen Cheng, as a loyal and brave marquis, did not receive the post, and it is even more impossible for Lord Wu, who is a fifth-grade official, to have a post, Shen Qingwan said this because he wanted the Lei family and Wu Chenglang to retreat from the difficulty, who would have thought that the Lei family's face was thicker than the city wall, no matter what she said, people insisted that she take Wu Chenglang into the palace.

Lei Shi stopped, turned around, looked at the unique royal markings embroidered on the carriage, and then looked at the mighty coachmen and guards standing next to the carriage, and was secretly surprised: he was only interested in persuading Shen Qing to take Chenglang into the palace just now, but he didn't notice that the carriage belonged to the Chu Palace......

"County Lord, it's not too early, the lantern feast will start in half an hour!" The guard stepped forward and reminded in a deep voice that before coming, the prince repeatedly told him that he must be polite and polite to Shen Qingwan, so as time passed minute by minute, he couldn't bear to come forward to remind him, but now, the time is really not early, and if he doesn't leave, he won't be able to catch up with the banquet.

Shen Qingwan didn't say anything more, walked a few steps, and prepared to get into the carriage: "Sister, take me with you!" Shen Yimeng stepped forward and coquettishly said to Shen Qingwan unrelentingly: "We are all my father's daughters, and the invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion is enough for the two of us to enter the palace......" Daddy is really eccentric, and he actually gave the invitation to Shen Qingwan and didn't give it to him, hmph, when he comes back from the banquet, he will definitely be killed.

Shen Qingwan avoided Shen Yimeng's outstretched arm, and smiled lightly: "This invitation note was given to me by the King of Chu, not by my father, if my sister wants to enter the palace, I can ask my father for a sticker, and then take the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion to ......" Shen Yimeng's chest was burning with anger, if it wasn't for the first day of the new year, something happened to him, Duan Yuyuan's invitation would never have fallen into Shen Qingwan's hands: "The invitation sticker of the palace is more deterrent than that of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is nothing wrong with the two of us sisters using one......

"When the prince sent me a post, he said, a please post, only one person can enter!" Shen Qingwan smiled slightly, and put away the post: "Sister, let's go to my father and ask for a sticker, otherwise, I won't be able to enjoy the lantern banquet!" ”

The curtain opened, Shen Qing got into the carriage at night, Shen Yimeng wanted to follow, but the guard swept over with a cold eye, her heart beat wildly in fright, and she lifted her steps and put it down again, Lei didn't dare to say the words of persuasion on the side of her mouth, the guard's momentum and bearing were all cold, and at a glance, she knew that she was not a person to be messed with, and Lei didn't dare to offend.

The coachman raised the reins, the carriage was gone, and soon disappeared at the corner of the street, Shen Yimeng forcibly suppressed the anger that kept churning in his chest, turned around, and strode towards the mansion: go to my father first, and then take the invitation into the palace......

Lei Shi also pulled Wu Chenglang, who did not retract his gaze, and hurriedly walked towards the mansion, with only one thought in his heart: take the invitation sticker and enter the palace for the banquet.

Coincidentally, when the three of them rushed to the mansion, Murong Xiu and Master Wu walked out side by side, chatting and chatting happily as they walked.

Shen Yimeng's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly greeted them: "Dad, what about your entry into the palace?" ”

"Father-in-law, you are already a fifth-grade official, you should have a post...... "The future of riding the waves depends on this post." What please post? Shen Cheng and Lord Wu were both full of doubts.

"It's a post for entering the palace to enjoy the lanterns." Shen Yimeng was very anxious: the lantern feast was about to start, and if he didn't go, it would be too late.

Shen Cheng instantly understood: "Except for the prince of the royal family and the king of the county, that post was only sent to officials above the third grade, young sons around twenty years old, I am nearly forty years old, where will there be!" "Is Shen Cheng old, Lord Wu is not only old, but also not enough.

Lei's angry teeth itch, the crown prince, the prince, the prince, the prince of the county, the young son of the official family above the third rank, just walk out of one, they are all powerful people, if they can enter the palace by riding the waves, they will definitely have a bright future.

Riding the waves is a grateful person, he is flying day by day, and he will not forget the kindness of the Prime Minister, it is just a matter of effort, why did Shen Qing delay and refuse to help......

Shen Yimeng also gritted his teeth with hatred, Shen Qingwan actually snatched the opportunity to show off his style and make a stunning appearance, it was really hateful, hateful......

"Uncle!" A nice male voice sounded, Gu Xianli walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly, his handsome face was filled with a warm smile, ignoring the others present, and his slender figure went straight to Shen Cheng.

"It's a courtesy, but there's something wrong with finding my uncle?" Gu Xianli is the future master of Xie Mansion, he has a temperament and is very good at dealing with people, Shen Cheng admires him very much.

The Lei family was completely speechless, and sighed secretly: The son of this family in the capital is so outstanding in appearance and temperament, compared to this, the child who rides the waves is indeed a little worse......

As usual, Wu Chenglang lowered his head, ashamed of himself, and didn't dare to look at Gu Xianli squarely. "Is it late?" In his hand hidden in his sleeve, he holds a sticker.

"I entered the palace to enjoy the lanterns in the evening, do you have something to do with her?" Shen Cheng smiled kindly, calm.

A hint of loss flashed faintly in Gu Xianli's eyes, and he returned to normal in an instant: "It's not a big deal, since she's not here, then I'll go back first!" ”

Gu Xianli turned around and wanted to leave, Shen Yimeng's eyes turned, he walked a few steps quickly, and blocked in front of Gu Xianli, at the bottom of his eyes, there were hidden tears turning, and his appearance was pitiful: "Cousin, you have a post to enter the palace, right?" "What I like is the prince, but the prince's post was snatched away by Shen Qingwan, and it is the same for me to take Gu Xianli's entry into the palace, as long as I can see the prince and defeat Shen Qingwan, it doesn't matter who gave the post.

There is no step-room in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and although Gu Yangxi is dead, she is still the nominal housemother, so Shen Yimeng also followed Shen Qingwan and called Gu Xianli his cousin.

The title of cousin was shouted from Wan'er's mouth, with affection and dependence, it could be called out from Shen Yimeng's mouth, how awkward it sounded, especially Shen Yimeng's tearful appearance, seeing that Gu Xianli's eyes were not pitiful, but pretentious, which made him have an indescribable disgust: "I do have to enter the palace to ask for a sticker, but I have already given it away......"

Looking at Shen Yimeng's weird and shining gaze, Gu Xianli knew that she didn't have a good heart, and she couldn't give it to anyone, not to mention, this invitation post had a special meaning, how could she act hastily and give it away easily: "I still have something to do, go first!" Passing the sad and disappointed Shen Yimeng, Gu Xianli strode out.

"This son is handsome and chic, with a good temperament, he must be a famous son." People from noble and prestigious families are arrogant and will not casually talk to people with lower status than themselves, so the Lei family did not step forward to introduce himself, but looked at Gu Xianli's distant figure, praised without hesitation, and knocked on the side.

Shen Cheng smiled politely: "The eldest son of the Great General's Mansion, how can he be ordinary!" I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart.

The Lei clan was suddenly shocked, the eldest son of the Great General's Mansion, why didn't Shen Cheng say it earlier, he could let Chenglang climb the relationship with him, and make friends, such a good opportunity, he actually missed it......

"Master, General Gu is here."

"Come in, please." Shen Cheng said with a smile.

A few people from the Lei family stood aside, and they saw a handsome boy walk in, and first saluted Shen Cheng, "Uncle." ”

The Lei clan frowned, if I remember correctly, the grandson of the Great General's Mansion just now also called Shen Cheng like this, so who is this person?

"Is it a small resignation? What's the matter? ”

"Is it late?" Gu Ci asked with a smile.

Shen Cheng frowned, as if he had thought of something, "The evening girl just left, if you are here to deliver the post, it will be a step too late." ”

"I see, then uncle, I'll go back first." Gu Ci sighed, he was still a step too late after all.

When Gu Ci walked away, looking at the puzzled expressions of several people in the room, Shen Cheng opened his mouth to explain, "This is also the son of the Great General's Mansion, but he is just a concubine, but he entered the court with his military merits, and he is already a general of the third grade." ”

Wu Chenglang was even more depressed when he heard the whole person, how could these sons of high-ranking nobles be so good, could it be said that they really had no hope?

"Lord Wu, this matter is a bit complicated, let's go to the study and talk about it, please!"

"Xiangye, please!"

Sending Gu Xianli away, Shen Cheng and Lord Wu politely went to the study to discuss things, Shen Yimeng and Lei's family, Wu Chenglang walked back dejectedly, without a poster, you can't enter the palace to participate in the banquet, if you don't go back to the room, what else can you do.

The pace of moving forward was very light, the three of them were silent, Wu Chenglang was better, holding the book and walking straight forward, Shen Yimeng and Lei Shi had a tacit understanding, they glanced at each other, and both of them saw a strong resentment in each other's eyes: If she is kind, she (Chenglang) can enter the palace for a banquet, and when she comes back, she will definitely make her look good......

The carriage of the Chu Palace's palace stopped at the gate of the palace, Shen Qingwan walked into the palace, and the eunuch who was in charge of receiving the post at the door took the invitation card handed by Shen Qingwan, opened it and looked at it, and looked up at her, his eyes flashed with indescribable and inexplicable emotions.

"County Lord, the prince is next to the rockery where the lanterns are appreciating, please come with your humble position!" The guards who escorted Shen Qing to the royal family did not leave, made a gesture of invitation to her, and led her to the side of the rockery pool.

During the Lantern Festival, a large number of various lanterns were strung up in the palace, and along the way, they competed for beauty, and pairs of talented and beautiful women walked by from time to time, and Shen Qingwan wondered: Is this a lantern feast? How does it look like Qixi Festival, those women, obviously they are not married, and they are not engaged, but they are blatantly walking with men, talking and laughing, how strange is this banquet......

The rockery was close at hand, Shen Qingwan walked slowly, escorted the guards who came to her, walked a few steps quickly, and came to Duan Yuyuan to report: "Lord Wang, my subordinates escort the county lord to the palace safely!" ”

Not far away, Gu Xianli walked over, stood with a group of famous sons, and joked with each other: "Xianli, who did you post it for?" ”

"That's it, let's talk about it, which daughter do you like?"

Gu Xianli sighed helplessly: "I didn't meet the girl I liked, so I wasted a post." Lest they not believe it, Gu Xianli took out the tightly clenched post in his hand: "Look, the evidence is here!" ”

The famous sons sighed in disappointment: "Xianli, won't you just find a beautiful daughter to give away, the post is wasted, what a pity......"

"Even if you can feast our eyes......"

"Don't talk about me yet, what about you, have you sent out all the posts?" Gu Xianli feigned anger.

"That...... That ......" The famous son's eyes turned sharply, thinking of the right words.

"What this and that, either refer to someone to me, or take a post out!" Gu Xianli pressed step by step, the famous sons were helpless, a few people pointed to the woman they liked, and a few people took out the post that was not sent, Gu Xianli laughed: "It seems that I am not the only one who did not send the post......" Duan Yuyuan and Duan Yongxi were talking about things, the topic was interrupted, Duan Yuyuan was not the slightest displeased, looked up in the direction of Shen Qingwan, and the corners of his mouth raised a shallow smile.

Duan Yongxi glanced at Shen Qingwan and teased: "Duan Yuyuan, the woman you invited tonight won't be Shen Qingwan, right?" ”

"Why not?" Duan Yuyuan did not answer the rhetorical question.

She ...... Only thirteen years old...... You're eighteen years old...... In terms of age, it's not quite compatible......" Duan Yongxi euphemistically said the reason.

Duan Yongxi didn't say anything against again, and chuckled: "If you like it, it's the best, it doesn't matter how much age difference you have......" The tone was slightly heavy, meaning something, and his eyes were faintly dim.

"That's right, what you like is the best." Duan Yuyuan called Shen Qingwan's name and slowly greeted him: "Have you seen your favorite lantern?" ”

Shen Qingwan smiled lightly: "The lanterns in the palace are very beautiful. "Next to the rockery, lanterns of various patterns are strung around the pond, and all kinds of lights reflect the sparkling water, which is very dreamy and charming......

"Late!" Jiang Yining ate a big apple, walked out of the crowd, his eyes turned on Duan Yuyuan and Shen Qingwan, and smiled weirdly: "Wan'er is the palace that you will take the palace of the Chu Palace." ”

"How do you know?" Shen Qingwan was slightly surprised.

"Guess." Jiang Yining was proud, and looked sideways at Duan Yongxi standing not far away: "Lord Wang, the lantern banquet has not started yet, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, I will take care of the evening ......"

"Yi Ning, whose post did you use to enter the palace?" Duan Yuyuan and Duan Yongxi walked aside to talk about things, and Shen Qingwan felt that something was very strange, so he asked Jiang Yining on the side.

"Do I still need to get a post when I enter the palace?" Jiang Yining took a bite of the apple fiercely: "My identity is there, just stand lightly, those people at the palace gate, who dares to stop me, unless they are impatient......"

Shen Qingwan smiled secretly in her heart, Jiang Yining was indeed a strong existence......
