Chapter 039: Auntie
These days, the eunuchs and maids in the palace have nothing to say: This Shen Mei is so bold! Isn't it that the third prince likes her? I forgot who I was, and I would offend the emperor for a little palace maid, and see who can keep this cheap hoof now.
As he was talking, news suddenly came.
said that it was Shen Mei's mother, and when her father learned that Shen Mei offended Tianwei because she was defending an irrelevant maid, Shen Mei's mother, Jiang Ying, fainted directly.
It's probably spread too much, and Shen Mei, who has been under house arrest in the palace, can occasionally hear the palace maids pacing outside the carved wooden door whispering softly, and the words always reveal the reproach to Shen Mei.
Shen Mei also became more and more worried about her mother and father, who was anxious but unable to do anything in the palace, so Shen Mei often cried alone.
blames herself for being really impulsive, always forgetting that this is not a modern time, it is an ancient time when the imperial power is greater than the sky, and it is still a trivial matter for her to be punished, but the recent news always makes her uneasy.
Shen Mei was thinking about her parents by the oil lamp, and suddenly the guard outside the door snorted, and then heard a "poof", as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. Shen Mei stood up, strengthened her courage, and wanted to quietly open the door to find out, but the door opened by itself with a "squeak", I don't know if it was the cold air outside that poured into the room, or the breath emitted by the people who came, Shen Mei's whole body trembled at that moment.
Outside the door stood the figure of a man - tall, thin, handsome, dressed in white, with black satin trimmed cuffs, and a black hat that covered half of his face. Even so, Shen Mei could still see at a glance that the person who came was Mu Qingfeng.
He was the only one who dared to stun the guards and came to visit him. Shen Mei didn't know whether she was laughing, annoyed, or moved a little more at this time, so she was stunned and didn't speak.
Shen Mei ...... You're alright! But it doesn't matter, I'll take you away now, let's elope, I'm tired of the intrigue in the palace, let's go! To live a free life, and then I have children with you, is it better than flying with wings? Mu Qingfeng said as he spoke, and he was so excited that he grabbed Shen Mei's hand tightly, as if what he said was true.
Shen Mei was shocked, this kid dared to elope with him! He Mu Qingfeng is so bold, and sure enough, the queen's son is different. But Shen Mei can't be like this, the monk can't run the temple.
She Shen Mei fled, so what about her elderly parents? When the time comes, it will be the truth, and it will affect his parents! So Shen Mei pushed away Mu Qingfeng's hand on her arm, "Mu Qingfeng, are you sensible?" You are the son of the queen, you are gone, no one dares to blame the queen for blaming you, but if I leave, what will happen to my parents? If you don't get caught by then, you will be protected by the queen, and you will be punished at most, but I will be different, don't forget that I, Shen Mei, am just a palace maid. ”
Mu Qingfeng gradually calmed down when he heard this, like a frosted eggplant, turned around and muttered in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear it: "I'm sorry, Shen Mei." It was I who was too impulsive to think about the consequences, and I left. ”
"Hmm. Let's go, don't worry about me. Shen Mei also said complicatedly.
Thinking back to Mu Qingfeng's words, Shen Mei tossed and turned, sleepless all night......
When she woke up the next day, Shen Mei was in a very bad spirit, with two dark circles under her eyes, and her hair was messy, like a chicken nest. Here, Shen Mei spends all day doing nothing and spending her time in a daze, so she doesn't pay much attention to her own phenomenon.
The palace is a boring place, and as long as a little strange thing can spread all over the palace in an hour.
No, Shen Mei heard another thing about herself, and even Shen Mei herself felt incredible, that is, Bai Ying wrote to the emperor and asked the emperor to let her go. Shen Mei was speechless: Bai Ying actually pleaded with the emperor for herself!
And the emperor actually agreed, but Shen Mei was even more uneasy, what kind of person is Bai Ying, she forced her father to marry her, how could such a woman really want to save herself!?
Without waiting for Shen Mei to figure out the reason, a few eunuchs had already pushed open the door and rushed in, and made a gesture of invitation to Shen Mei, who was meditating, but there was no movement for a long time, the eunuch pretended to cough his throat, yin and yang weird, and hung the male duck's voice: "Miss Shen Mei, please go with the miscellaneous family, the emperor has already dissipated his anger, Miss Shen Mei can go." ”
The eunuch was a little displeased, but he still waved the dust whisk in his hand, "The emperor's edict has been brought, let's go!" ”
Only then did Shen Mei come back to her senses, "Huh? Oh...... Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
walked out of this place of house arrest all the way dejectedly, and walked quickly to the place where he lived, with wishful thinking in his heart: Well, I have to go back to see my father and mother, and report that I am safe, otherwise I will really make my parents anxious.
Suddenly seeing Bai Ying walking towards her, she couldn't turn a blind eye to her feelings and reason, she sighed in her heart, and Shen Meifu asked for peace: "Shen Mei sees Lord Bai, thank you Lord Bai for your help." ”
Bai Ying smiled: "Girl, this official will be your aunt in the future, what is the politeness of the family?" It should be, it should be. ”
Bai Ying's "girl" made Shen Mei feel shocked, she must have bad intentions when she called so affectionately for no reason. Moreover, when did I have such an aunt?!
Looking at Shen Mei's puzzled look, Bai Ying said: "In a few days, I will be your father's concubine, and I will naturally become your aunt." ”
Shen Mei was shocked, and Huo Ran remembered that "aunt" was the name of the children of the descendants of their father's concubines in ancient times!
Seeing that Shen Mei was stunned, Bai Ying didn't say anything more, her goal had been achieved, and Shen Mei was her man's daughter-in-law, so she naturally wouldn't embarrass the other party, so she smiled and left.
When she returned home in despair, and saw everything that had been dressed up, Shen Mei's heart instantly hurt beyond measure.
trotted to the mother's room, the mother and daughter looked at each other and saw the sadness and helplessness in the mother's eyes. Thinking that her parents are still modern, Shen Mei is even more heartbroken.
"Mother......
Jiang Ying looked at her daughter with teary eyes and nodded, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
Seeing Jiang Ying's appearance, Shen Mei was ashamed, it was because of her impulsiveness that Bai Ying took advantage of the situation, but she, the culprit, had no other way to do this.
Shen Mei rushed over and hugged her mother, crying bitterly......
Shen Huainan outside the door, his eyes were also gloomy at this time, but in the end he could only walk away helplessly.
