Chapter 157: Stain
"The little prince is growing too fast, Sister Xian'er is as big as him, and she doesn't have ten catties yet." When Hu Yuchun came to visit, he hugged Brother Zhan and called this sturdy child too heavy.
Shen Tingnian took it back and turned it upside down, smiling helplessly: "It's so good to eat, and the nurse also said that it is much stronger than ordinary children...... It's fourteen pounds now. ”
Brother Zhan, who is more than four months old and less than five months old, is full of flesh, but fortunately, in addition to gaining weight, he also grows taller, and even the emperor smacks his tongue when he weighs him, and when he was born, he was only seven catties, which doubled in a blink of an eye.
Hu Yuchun knew something about raising children because of her experience with Sister Xian, and Shen Tingnian was reminded by her that she felt that Brother Zhan had to control his appetite.
"But the little prince is strong or maybe he was born with the emperor, and the concubine looks at the nurse's plump body, enough milk to manage it, and eats well, so she will naturally be fatter."
"It looks alike, and now the eyebrows, eyes and facial features are more and more similar." Shen Tingnian looked at Brother Zhan every day, and even his smirking demeanor was like the emperor, "Didn't they all say that their son Xiao's mother, how could he not work." ”
"It's up to you." Hu Yuchun said this very definitely, "How many times have the concubines come, don't hug them, you have to hum if you touch them forcibly...... But when I met the emperor, it was different. ”
There have been a few times when she was still there, the emperor came, no matter who happened to be holding Brother Zhan, as soon as he heard the emperor's voice, he turned his head to look for it, and when he saw it, he waved two small fists and called each other.
Not to mention how cute it is.
Shen Tingnian was a little embarrassed by her, there were a few unfortunate times this summer, Hu Yuchun came, waited for a long time and didn't see her come out to entertain guests, and then quietly asked only to know that the emperor was also in the house, she thought about waiting for another half an hour, it should be about the same, but this wait, from the afternoon to the dark, Shen Tingnian also failed to come out.
Hu Yuchun, who has been going back and forth twice, understands that although having a child will bring some problems to each other, these two people are obviously still young and wanton, where do they care about what others think.
"He just likes everyone to pay attention, and if no one pays attention when he is awake, he will make a temperament." And once the emperor holds him, it is equivalent to becoming the focus of attention together, and no one in the entire palace is not revolving around him, that is, Shen Tingnian is occasionally annoyed with him, but he can't tell anyone like this, even if it is Hu Yuchun in front of him.
Thinking about the women in the palace who are thinking about Jun En every day, they responded to the sentence 'It is really a flood and does not know the drought of drought'.
"I always cry less now."
Hu Yuchun didn't follow her words back, but there were many rights and wrongs outside, and women love to gossip and gossip when they get together, but it's different in Yan Xitang, Shen Tingnian has a lot of things, life has a center of gravity, and there is not enough time, where will there be leisure to talk about other people's things, Hu Yuchun said a few times about those newcomers who made trouble, because it didn't hinder Yan Xitang, it didn't mean anything, even if you heard it.
Gradually, I won't talk about it.
"Speaking of which, there is a matter now," Hu Yuchun finished gossiping and began to get down to business, "Do you know a person named Mama Qian?" ”
Shen Tingnian shook his head without thinking about it, "I don't remember." ”
"Sure enough, I can't remember you."
Hu Yuchun didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said things directly, "This time, Wu Jieyu, the new concubine with the best family background, I don't know where to know the news, saying that Niangniang used to have a teacher Xi Mama, surnamed Qian, and now she is working as a bustard mother in a fireworks building called 'Begonia House' in the capital, and she is mixed up in the name of Niangniang......
Although she is already in a high position, Shen Tingnian can't really let others do anything wrong in her name, her own reputation in the harem is worse, and it is okay to receive the title of 'favorite concubine' from the hundred officials, but the reputation of the common people still has to be managed, even if it is not for himself, he must think about the little prince, he can't delay his future because of his biological mother.
"When?" Shen Tingnian frowned, obviously extremely displeased.
After all, she is young, and after a few months of nourishment, her whole person is more charming, and her face is ruddy and delicate, this sudden frown, the hearts of those who look at it are in turmoil, Hu Yuchun secretly compares, even if those newcomers are still shy, but mature women are obviously more attractive.
"It has only been in the past few months that someone has spread it to the harem, and the concubine has asked people to inquire, and it is true."
There are indeed people, Shen Tingnian just forgot that no one will forget this teacher Qian Mama who left a huge shadow on her.
In a few months, it has been passed to her, and the Shen family has not even taken care of it.
Shen Tingnian suppressed his anger and didn't ask anything more, only instructed: "This palace knows about this, you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's not Shen ......" Hu Yuchun hesitated, and almost blurted out Shen He's name, she also had some contact with Shen He because of Shen Tingnian's relationship, "The concubine doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
"When did you vomit?" Shen Tingnian held Brother Zhan'er's feet and let him lie on his shoulder, this guy likes to kick his legs recently, and he will be unhappy if he doesn't do this.
"The concubine said bluntly, Niangniang's situation in Yanxi Hall may not be difficult, as long as you don't go out, no one can help it, but the court is different, those officials sent their daughters into the palace but couldn't wait for the emperor's favor, naturally they were full of resentment, they didn't dare to rush to the emperor, naturally they all fell into the Shen family......"
At present, the strongest momentum of the Shen family is Shen He, especially when he wholeheartedly supports the emperor to carry out the new policy, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of many noble and old forces, and now the new upstarts are also targeting him, which is equivalent to one person worth a hundred.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he added so many of his own people in various places, and a group of new concubines in Nacai was also a normal means of enveloping and consolidating these upstart forces, according to the original development, he should better deal with these concubines, at least he couldn't make them all empty decorations, even if it was a favored person, it was a set goal he chosen, and the commoner was born and beautiful, and then those newcomers who were not favored would naturally be jealous and transfer all their grievances to her......
Now the situation is the most difficult, like a play, the key roles are in place, the plot is also there, and the singers can't come out.
"There is news that for more than ten consecutive days, someone has beaten the 'people's sound drum' in Kyoto Prefecture every day to sue Lord Shen, which is all a fictitious matter, but there are also some trivial matters that do involve other people in the Shen family, and this Mama Qian is also one of them."
According to the normal process, Shen Tingnian will definitely be implicated in a thorough investigation, but the emperor will definitely not let her come into contact with such news during the confinement, so she pressed it down and did not deal with it, and pressed it again and again, until recently, he called General Bai to investigate.
No one is perfect, who can withstand such a group attack, Shen He has been resting for a long time recently, and he has handed over important things to the emperor, and people will not appear in the court, and he plans to avoid it for a short time.
The emperor naturally took pity on the storm of power he suffered, and approved the fake.
Shen Tingnian listened to all the details with a calm face, and waited for Hu Yuchun to leave before calling Suoqiao in.
"You go to Chen Luo, ask the emperor when he will return to the palace, if it is going to be evening, let him send someone to pass my order, and summon the former general Sibai to come to Yanxi Hall."
###
Before Shen Tingnian saw Bai Feiran, it happened to be after a nap, and she had a dream.
Actually, it's not a dream, at least the first half is a real past.
In the dream, it was the first twilight, and in the window lattice, half of the gorgeous glow was still being revealed.
Shen Tingnian was stunned for a while, until a faint singing voice floated in.
"In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling...... My heart is sad, I don't know how I mourn! ”
The man sang over and over again: "My heart is sad, I don't know how to mourn!" ”
My heart is sad, and I don't know how to mourn.
Shen Tingnian was stunned, the man was still singing, desolate and hoarse, indulgent and self-suffering.
A wave of sadness is gathering momentum, and the song is full of words, and there is no going back.
When the singing stopped, someone approached and asked softly at the door, "Miss Shen?" ”
From that humble and docile tone, Shen Tingnian remembered that she was the maid of the top brand of 'Begonia House', "The slave maid went in, and the maid asked the slave maid to wait for Miss Shen to bathe and change clothes." ”
After speaking, the door opened, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, holding a pure white skirt, walked in with her head down, followed by two mothers-in-law, carrying a large bath bucket of hot water.
"No need, I'll just change my clothes myself." Shen Tingnian put down the black box on his back, and on the other hand, he was drenched by a scoop of water on the second floor as soon as he entered the Begonia Residence, "Please tell your girl, the time limit for me to go out is two hours, and the more detailed the portrait, the longer the time will be delayed." ”
The little maid was a little embarrassed when she heard this, "Just now a distinguished guest took my girl's brand, it's really hard to shirk, I'm afraid I want Miss Shen to wait a little longer......"
"Then let's cancel this painting." Although Shen Tingnian felt that it was a pity, the top girl in Haitang Ju should not be stingy when she made a move, but what she was more precious was time.
"That's not going to work!" The little maid seemed to be afraid that she was really leaving, so she hurriedly bypassed the screen, and was so surprised that Shen Tingnian quickly tied her skirt.
"Miss Shen, do you think this will work, the slave will take you to Yaju, you paint for the girl in the compartment, and she entertains guests outside......"
Shen Tingnian stroked his half-wet hair at the end of his hair, and refused without thinking, "You have to be quiet when you paint, besides, I can't see your girl in the middle, how can I make a good portrait?" ”
"Miss Shen, after you listen to the slave maid, Yaju has a pair of bronze mirrors, which can shine on people who go out of the world, and will not delay the girl's painting," the little maid grabbed Shen Tingnian's arm and took her out, "Since time is tight, let's go over and prepare now, as long as the painting is good, the price is negotiable." ”
Shen Tingnian couldn't refuse such an opportunity to rip off customers.
The light in Yajuli was so bright that Shen Tingnian was almost blinded by the bronze mirror with a small half of the wall as soon as he entered.
The ingenuity of the design of this place really opened her eyes, she could see everything in the outside through the bronze mirror in the inside, the table and stool incense burner, the double mirror carved makeup table, the flower and wood screen, the four treasures of the desk and the study, and a beauty couch not far away, with flower potted plants placed next to it.
Just when Shen Tingnian opened the black box and took out the scroll and brush, she heard the sound of the door opening outside, she first concentrated on mixing the paint, and waited for a short moment before looking up.
