Chapter 191: Excuses
Shen Yan, who was hiding behind the screen, didn't notice anything else, only knew that Lan'er had successfully deceived her father.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and in order to prepare for the night banquet, the people in the entire palace are busy.
Because the carriage was broken, Liu Yun and Mama Gao could only walk back to King Wu's mansion.
This town is too big, I almost got lost after several laps, and there were many pedestrians coming and going on the road, and after walking for a long time, I finally found Wu Wangfu.
Looking at the splendid mansion in front of her, Liu Yun finally smiled, Mama Gao on the side was already tired and half dead, and her legs were weak, looking at the palace in front of her as if she had found a savior, she said excitedly:
"Little county lord, you see the palace in front of you."
Mama Gao pointed to the Wu Wangfu in front of her, elated, after all, her little county lord was so eager to come back, and now she is finally back.
Liu Yun nodded, and now she wants to show her most perfect self in front of her cousin.
Nodding slightly, it seemed that the figure of a man appeared in his mind again, and that face haunted him for countless nights for countless years, and he never forgot it.
However, it was not long before I was able to see him with my own eyes, not in the portrait of my own room, but in real life.
"See the county lord."
The two guards at the door hurriedly saluted when they saw Liu Yun, after all, she had been away from the palace for half a year, and if she neglected it, King Wu would definitely blame.
Hearing this familiar name, the corners of Liu Yun's mouth showed an arc.
As natural as returning to her own home, Liu Yun tidied up her posture and entered the palace with Mama Gao's hand.
In fact, King Wu knew that the county lord had already made a point up and down when he came back, and instructed everyone to treat the county lord like his own sister, and not to be the slightest slack.
Hearing everything that King Wu said, the guards were also looking forward to it, waiting for the arrival of this little county lord.
"County Lord, welcome you back, the villain has been waiting for a long time, the room has been cleaned for you, knowing that you are tired from the journey, and the water for bathing is also ready for you."
The housekeeper naturally heard the news that Liu Yun had returned to the palace, and hurried over.
"Thank you, butler, don't bother, where is my cousin, I want to go and meet him first."
Liu Yun smiled, and his eyes did not fall on the housekeeper in front of him, but saw the courtyard through him, and seemed to be looking for a familiar figure everywhere, but he didn't find his cousin Ye Tingchen after looking for a long time.
Liu Yun thanked the housekeeper, but what she wanted to see most now was her cousin, she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she wanted to know if he missed herself.
"This ...... The prince has been busy with affairs recently, and he has not returned to the palace yet, so the county lord will go back to rest first. β
The housekeeper knew that the prince had been busy until late at night for the New Year's Day banquet recently, and now the emperor often summoned the prince, so Liu Yun wanted to see the housekeeper of King Wu, so he naturally felt a little extravagant.
Seeing what Liu Yun wanted to say, Mama Gao quietly pulled her from behind and signaled her not to be too active.
Mama Gao gave Liu Yun in front of her a look, and Liu Yun also nodded knowingly, knowing that she was too anxious, so it was inevitable that it would not be good.
Liu Yun nodded, and then took Mama Gao back to the yard where she used to live.
"Little county lord, I know you miss Lord Wu, but don't be in a hurry, we live under the same roof, and we'll meet sooner or later."
Mama Gao lives for a long time, and naturally understands the truth of things, so it is reasonable for her to persuade her little county lord at this time.
At the moment, how could she not know that the little county lord misses King Wu's heart?
It's just that the little county lord will inevitably make people look a little weird and lose his tongue, if some people add fuel and vinegar to the outside, it will always ruin the good things of the little county lord.
Therefore, Mama Gao has already thought through all the things of the county lord.
After listening to Mama Gao's words, Liu Yun smiled slightly, but secretly thought in her heart that her cousin should have come to the palace to greet her, but today he did not appear, and he was naturally extremely disappointed in his heart, but he didn't know what to do.
"My cousin knew that I was going back to the palace today, but he didn't see me."
Liu Yun looked disappointed, the moment she was looking forward to was gone, how to make herself stable.
"Little county lord, you can relax, we have lived in the palace for so many years, the prince must have feelings for you, so there is no need to rush for a while."
The whole world knows that King Wu has a cold temper, especially this kind of emotional matter, if he accidentally angers King Wu, he will give up all his efforts.
The furnishings in the house are all there, and they haven't changed at all, but Liu Yun's heart is empty, leaving this trip, I feel that I have lost a lot, and Liu Yun, who is under pressure from this crisis, can't breathe.
New Year's Day has come, the whole capital is lit up, New Year's Day in Shuxia is an important day, whether it is the common people or the royal nobles, they are very fond of it.
There had already been a poetry meeting before, but it didn't take long for it to be New Year's Day, and these two festivals were the grandest days in Shuxia Kingdom.
And when ordinary people celebrated the advent of New Year's Day, a New Year's Eve banquet was also held in King Wu's mansion.
This New Year's Eve banquet is different from the poetry ceremony, and the people who can be invited to participate must be royal nobles and businessmen.
Even strictly speaking, this New Year's Eve banquet is probably higher than the pattern of the poetry meeting, and it is no longer something that ordinary people can participate in.
In the courtyard of the Shen Mansion, the Yuan family took Shen Yan to start dressing up early in the morning.
"Mother, look!"
Shen Yan wiped his face with a soaked towel, and those scars fell off one by one.
Looking at the face in the mirror again, the white and tender skin is revealed.
Shen Yan got up early in the morning and changed into a red suit, and put on a golden robe outside, which was extremely gorgeous.
After the face was cleaned, all the scars on the face were washed away, and the skin looked whiter and more tender than before.
Yuan listened to his daughter's words, and hurriedly came over to see, those tan scars rubbed once, and the skin returned to its original state.
I didn't expect that this woman Shen Mo was so skilled in medicine, and she really healed her daughter's face.
The Yuan clan was also extremely satisfied at the moment, and secretly thought in his heart that this New Year's Eve banquet might be foolproof.
Yuan Shi gently took a golden hairpin from the dresser and took the comb, smoothly combed Shen Yan's hair into a crown, and the golden hairpin was inserted upward, making it even more gorgeous.
"Okay Yan'er, you don't have to worry about it now, your beauty is back, this New Year's Eve banquet, you must fight for our mother and sister, and shine for the Shen family."
Shen Yan looked at himself in the mirror, his smile was full of flattery, the corners of his eyes turned into a faint cigarette makeup, his eyebrows were lightly raised, Gu Panshen was as beautiful as a fairy, and his every move looked otherworldly and did not eat the fireworks of the world, I have to admit that Shen Yan is also very beautiful today.
Yuan looked at his daughter, now she is in the prime of her beauty, if she can seize the opportunity to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, she can also follow the glory and wealth.
"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely behave well at this New Year's Eve banquet, I have made a plan."
Shen Yan ignored Yuan's words, gently took off a piece of red paper from the dresser in front of him, put it on his red lips, and dotted the lip flap to make it even more ruddy and shiny.
The corners of Shen Yan's eyes were lightly hooked, revealing a touch of gloom and faintly said to himself in the mirror: "The shame suffered by the poetry club last time, today I Shen Yan will completely get it back." β
Shen Yan had already planned in her heart, this time she not only wanted to let King Wu take a fancy to her, but also beat Shen Mo's down.
The corners of her mouth showed a hint of viciousness, although Shen Mo helped her heal her face, but who knew if her face was caused by her, not only let herself drink coptis water but also let herself learn goupa, she must avenge this revenge.
At first, Shen Yan didn't have anything to do with Shen Mo, but the more he thought about it later, the more strange he felt, and he always felt that someone must be doing something behind his back.
And who dares to go against him in the entire Shen Mansion, but it is the silence of Jin Yuting, his half-sister!
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Yan also clenched his fists firmly, clenched his teeth, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.
I just woke up after the silence in the Golden Jade Pavilion, and I woke up first as usual, and then practiced controlling the spiritual power, and then I was ready to get up.
There were only puppies and rings in the outhouse, and the puppies were taking care of their clothes one by one, waiting for silence to choose.
And Xiaohuan sat in front of the dresser and cleaned up the rouge, all kinds of hairpin jewelry, just waiting for Shen Mo to get up to help her dress up, both of them knew that today was the New Year's Eve banquet was an extremely important day.
"Miss, you can count it, the second lady is busy over there, we can't lose in Jinyuting, let Xiaohuan dress you up well, you must be the most beautiful at the banquet tonight."
Xiaohuan looked excited, looked at the young lady who had just pushed the door out with a worried face, and hurriedly pulled her into the house to wash and dress up.
"Don't bother, I'm just going to do my routine, I don't want to be in the limelight anymore."
Silently rubbed his sleepy eyes and was still a little dazed, hearing Xiaohuan say this, he really cheered up, and he also showed a smile on his face and excused himself.
Shen Mo remembered that he was framed by Shen Yan at the last poetry ceremony, was coaxed to the stage, and was also laughed at by Ye Tingchen.
"I said, Miss, why don't you worry about it, there are a lot of famous and noble people at this New Year's Eve banquet, Miss can definitely find Ruyi Langjun if you dress up well."
Shen Mo was really stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that he had never thought about anything like a wishful marriage, but Xiaohuan, a little child, thought so far-reachingly.
Shen Mo shook his head helplessly at the moment, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
But Xiaohuan is different, Xiaohuan thought deeply about Shen Mo wholeheartedly at the beginning.
If Xiaohuan can see that her young lady has a good home and is not oppressed by others in the Shen Mansion, then she will have completed her mission when she dies in the future and sees her wife.
"Do you see that your young lady is pleasing other people's lives, if they are destined to be together, there is no need to be so forceful."
The corners of Shen Mo's mouth pulled up a bitter smile, thinking of the fate of his previous life, he was arranged by the Yuan family to marry into the Wu Palace, and was framed by Shen Yan.
Shen Mo gently walked to the little dog, touched his head with a smile, and looked at the clothes in front of him and took off one at random, each one was extremely gorgeous, and the clothes used were naturally made of the fabric sent by Zhuntuer last time.
Shen Mo looked at the clothes in front of him a little distracted, the corners of his mouth would hook, but there was a chill on his face.
Now that she wants to live for herself, now that she already has spiritual power, she doesn't need to go to great lengths to marry Ye Tingchen.
Listening to her words, Xiaohuan was slightly stunned, the people who could be invited to the New Year's Eve banquet were all people with heads and faces, according to the rules of the Wu Palace, if they were not dressed without being gorgeous, they would be disrespectful to the King of Wu.
"But Miss, after all, this is a New Year's Eve banquet held by King Wu, if you don't embellish it, it will be disrespectful to King Wu in the eyes of outsiders, if there is any gossip, we will be punished again."
Xiaohuan really doesn't want to implicate her own miss, she is punished just to be beaten and scolded, and Miss is different, and if Miss is punished, it may ruin her future future.
I couldn't bear to see Xiaohuan so lost, and I didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, so I had to give up and let her groom herself.
Shen Mo rubbed his eyes again helplessly, and sat down in front of the dresser in a daze.
When Shen Mo passed by Xiaohuan's side, a fragrant wind reached the tip of Xiaohuan's nose, and he sniffed lightly, and his cheeks were slightly red.
Xiaohuan asked slightly, "Miss, are you smeared with something?" Why do I feel so fragrant every time you pass by me? β
The little dog on the side also hurriedly raised his head and nodded and echoed: "That's right, there is always a fragrance on Miss's body, but seeing that Miss usually doesn't use rouge or gouache, why does it smell so good when she is on her body?" β
After listening to their words, Shen Mo's face turned slightly red, but he didn't know why he was born with a fragrance.
Shen Mo didn't know how to explain it at the moment, but he lightly whitened Xiaohuan and said lightly: "Little girl, don't make fun of me, hurry up and give me makeup." β
With the consent of her own lady, Xiaohuan smiled happily and happily went to get rouge gouache and hairpins.
The old ghost in the Changshan Reincarnation Hall was lying drunk in front of the door, holding a wine gourd in his mouth, and constantly pouring it into his mouth.
Chen Xiling was sitting in the cold palace, the table was full of bamboo slips and various official documents, and he was holding a pen to process them one by one.
After a long time, Chen Xiling also put down the pen and said to the old ghost in front of him: "Okay, everything has been done, we should also go!" β
The old ghost nodded, and said lightly: "Okay, good apprentice, you have been busy for most of the night, I am a little bored waiting"
"Good apprentice, have you taken all the things?"
The old ghost wants to check everything, and this New Year's Eve banquet should not be careless, a small omission may cause a big disaster.
Chen Xiling glanced at the disciples behind him, and the Changshan disciples who were busy behind him also made a gesture to him that they were ready to finish, Chen Xiling smiled:
"It's all done."
Chen Xiling waved his hand, and the disciples behind him walked up to the old ghost head with a wooden box.
When the box seemed to sink to the ground, he faintly felt that the whole palace shook, and the old ghost also felt a little strange and asked, "What is so heavy?" β
Chen Xiling said lightly with an expressionless face: "One hundred thousand taels of silver!" β
When the box was opened, the silver glittering inside suddenly shook its eyes, and the old ghost gently touched the silver and nodded frequently.
The corners of Chen Xiling's mouth snorted lightly, slowly walked out of the palace, and said lightly to the old ghost behind him: "Changshan is now open, it is necessary to show the outside world the strong heritage of Changshan, don't let them think that we are soft persimmons that anyone can pinch!" β
How could the old ghost not understand Chen Xiling's thoughts, Chen Xiling wanted to use his strong foundation to suppress the Quartet at the New Year's Eve banquet.
The old ghost looked at Chen Yanxi in front of him and also showed a relieved smile, and faintly thought in his heart that there was such a son, and Changshan could be prosperous!
"Since our Changshan Sect has opened the mountain, this silver naturally needs to be sent to the Wu Wangfu, and the Wu prince of the province thinks that we don't understand the rules."
And in addition to deterring the forces of the Quartet, you can also make a good deal with the court.
The old ghost has lived for more than a hundred years, and he has also been in Changshan for decades, and the grievances and grievances between Changshan and the palace are well understood, so these things on the faΓ§ade cannot be missing, at least these things are sent out, the palace is happy, and the Changshan faction can also develop better.
Chen Xiling nodded, he still believed in the old ghost's words.
Now that they are ready, they plan to go down the mountain and go in advance to understand the situation, and they are not prepared for any emergencies in the province.
The old ghost also glanced at Chen Lingxi intentionally at the moment, and poured a pot of wine into his mouth fiercely, which pot was not opened, and he wanted to stimulate the disciple in front of him at the moment, and said with a smile:
