This is a distant and strange country from their time, not in the real world where everyone is equal, there is too much helplessness, too much compulsion, and insincerity.

Especially in the palace where she lives, it is even more terrifying.

He knows all this, whether in the real society or here, so he can't let Shen Mei worry about them, and he can't let her worry about them.

When Jiang Ying heard this, she sobbed and wiped the corners of her eyes, she didn't know the outside world when she had been at home for a long time, and she mistakenly thought that he didn't care about her daughter because of Shen Huainan's words, so she cried and turned her head to complain, "Yes, it wasn't born by you, of course you don't have to worry about it." The rouge on her face was washed away by tears, and her small and delicate face looked pale, and she felt aggrieved and angry for a while, and felt distressed for her daughter.

She was puzzled, and finally found her daughter, but he cried without pain.

Seeing this, Shen Mei hurriedly played a round, "Mom, I don't have much, don't cry when we finally meet." ”

Jiang Ying held Shen Mei's hand, a handkerchief was wet with tears, her stomach still felt aggrieved, and she wanted to say a few words, but there was a crisp knock on the door.

"Sister, the slave is Liu Rou, and my sister is not here." Along with the knock on the door came a soft voice, flowing through the door into the room illuminated by the early morning sun, breaking Jiang Ying's words that she wanted to speak.

"There." Shen Mei responded, quickly wiped the tears on her cheeks, and held the head of the bed with one hand to get out of bed and open the door.

Jiang Ying was also busy wiping away her tears, patted the back of her hand holding on the head of the bed with one hand, and got up to go to the door.

She straightened her face, and when she opened the door, her gloomy face was already clear, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly in the next moment, like a beautiful crescent moon.

Liu Rou outside the door saw her unfamiliar appearance, and looked at Shen Mei lying on the bed suspiciously, "Sister, what is this?" ”

"I heard that Shen Mei is sick, and her father just came from the capital." Without waiting for Shen Mei to speak, Jiang Ying said with a smile, and there was an indescribable softness in her tone.

At that moment, Liu Rou looked at the woman in front of her who was dressed elegantly and smiled softly, and she seemed to see her mother through her kind eyes.

She was born in Jiangnan, her clear eyes are graceful willow eyebrows, her eyes are crooked when she smiles at herself, and the tenderness that overflows is enough to wrap herself, but she is just a concubine, what's the use of loving herself, no pet or love, she can only live in the most inconspicuous corner, and let the cold ridicule drown herself.

I haven't seen it for a long time, I don't know what happened to the woman who was used to cynicism, I remember that when I was just about to enter the palace, she took her hand, and fiercely, the green nail cover could sink into her own flesh with a little force, she said: "Mother can only count on you in this life." She had great hope for herself, and her eyes were full of tears, and she didn't know whether she was sad because she was leaving or happy because she was going to enter the palace.

"Girl." Jiang Ying recalled her thoughts, hoping that she was a little more confused.

Liu Rou smiled apologetically for her distraction, and then looked at the corner of Jiang Ying's mouth with a smile, "It turned out to be Jintang, and when I saw you, I knew that my sister was beautiful." ”

Jiang Ying was amused by her words, and laughed at her while inviting her in, saying that she had a sweet mouth.

Liu Rou put the basket she brought on the table, the table was a fine warm jade, the whole body was pure white, and there was warmth in the palm of her hand when she touched it, she looked at the jade splendors all over the house, and couldn't help envy Shen Mei.

She looked at the beauty of the room, and then remembered that she finally arrived at the Three Princes' Mansion, and she still said Shen Mei's name and the Three Princes let her in, which was enough to show how good he was to Shen Mei.

Liu Rou pinched the hem of her clothes and held a fold in her palm, "Sister, the third prince is really good to you, you live in such a good place, and you can still invite Lingzun Lingtang here." She whispered, hiding the envy in her tone.

"It's okay." Shen Mei glanced around, "Why did my sister come, my leg was on the board and I was lying on the bed for a long time." Shen Mei saw her bow her head, talked about the topic, and said with a complaining smile.

Liu Rou listened, went to take out the delicate rice cakes in the small and delicate basket, and handed them one by one, "My sister has nothing for my sister, only the rice cakes in my hometown can be made by myself." ”

Father Shen took the delicate rice cake and put it in his mouth, and praised it again and again, "It's done well, unlike Mei'er who can't do anything." ”

Jiang Ying tasted it, it melted in her mouth, sweet but not greasy, she felt that the girl was ingenious, and the food she bought in the supermarket outside was not so delicious, but Shen Huainan said that her daughter was too much, she glanced at Shen's father, who was eating well, and said, "My Shen Mei really can't do it, and it doesn't mean that nothing else will." ”

"Indeed, my sister is much better than my sister in other things." Liu Rou lowered her head and whispered.

Shen Mei shook her head, and here she is again, she took Liu Rou's hand and introduced them to them.

"It's too far from Jiangnan." When Jiang Ying heard that Liu Rou came to the capital from Jiangnan, she not only took her hand with pity, but she didn't have any biological children around her so far from Jiangnan to the capital, and her daughter was still spoiled by herself from childhood.

When Father Shen heard this, he also felt that Liu Rou was not easy, and he also said that Shen Mei should learn more from others.

"Why didn't your parents come to see you?" Jiang Ying took her hand, took pity on her, and blurted out without thinking too much.

Liu Rou didn't know what to say, but Father Shen scolded her fiercely, and Shen Mei didn't know what to say all of a sudden.

Her parents were able to come to see her, but it was because of Mu Jinyu, and her mother didn't know that there were many things and rules in the palace, so she naturally thought that her relatives could come in casually.

Looking at her mother facing her father's blame, what could she say, and looking at Liu Rou's somewhat red and swollen eyes, should she say let Mu Jinyu also invite her parents.

It was a topic that she and Liu Rou were careful not to touch, and the mother brought it up without a head, like a needle popping a balloon, exploding between them, and then, the whole room fell silent.

Shen Mei closed her eyes helplessly, the air in the room froze, and the sound of falling leaves could be heard silently, and the wetness at the corner of Liu Rou's mouth was so obvious when she opened her eyes.

Jiang Ying didn't know what to say for a while, she felt very aggrieved, and wanted to say something, but Shen's father took her hand and motioned her out.

She was full of unhappiness, she had just seen her daughter, she pulled down the wrist that Shen's father was holding, her eyebrows furrowed, Shen Mei saw this, and said tiredly, "Mother, I'm tired and want to rest for a while." ”

"Okay." She was like a deflated ball, lowering her head and saying yes again and again, except for this word, she didn't know what to say, so she just let Shen's father pull her out of the door, she didn't understand what her words brought, and she didn't know that this was an untouchable pain in Liu Rou's heart.

The moment the door was closed, the sun was cold, shining in every corner of the room one by one, Liu Rou looked at the person in front of her, and said to her with a crying voice: "Sister rest, the slave will go back first." ”
