Chapter 15: Demonstrations
"Sister? How old are you and you still call me sister, I just speak up in the morning, and you don't have to take it to heart.
The queen is strict with the crown prince, and there are few women around her, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the East Palace, it is best to plan for yourself as soon as possible, and don't waste time on me. ”
Shen Ruowen was scorched by her sister's thunder, seeing that she was so embarrassed in the morning, and now she appeared in front of her so quickly, and her intuition was not a good person.
Sure enough, the respect just now was just for show, hearing Shen Ruowen say this, Cai Ruoyun smiled lightly.
He also raised his hand to support the golden hairpin on his head, and his contemptuous gaze fell on Shen Ruowen, "I called you sister just to look at the prince's palace, and now I am already the Baolin canonized by the East Palace, but I entered the mansion before you, Miss Shen, now the person standing in front of you is already the imperial concubine of the Heavenly Family." ”
"Why are you so shameless! If it weren't for the young lady to intercede for you, you would have been beaten to death by Cai Junshou, and now you dare to show off your power in front of my young lady, the young lady is a dignified general's concubine, the country is beautiful, and you don't look in the mirror to see what you are, you dare to play tricks here! ”
Before Shen Ruowen could say anything, Qingzhu next to her had already jumped out and sneered, saying this made Shen Ruowen's face burn, the country is beautiful and fragrant, do you have it?
Cai Ruoyun was not angry when she was ridiculed by Qingzhu, but took two steps closer, leaned into Shen Ruoyun's ear and gently spit out a sentence: "Your Highness called your name all night last night." ”
Then he twisted his thin waist and returned the same way.
Qingzhu saw that Shen Ruowen was stunned on the spot, and thought that her young lady was so angry that she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Miss, you will be the crown princess in the future, she is just a concubine, and there will be ways to clean her up in the future." ”
But seeing the distracted Shen Ruowen, she took a few breaths, and then pinched her nose with a look of disgust: "Damn, she ate leek zygotes!" ”
On the last day of the Lingxian tax governor, Cai Junshou arranged a banquet to entertain the prince and Shen Ruowen, but there was one more Cai Baolin sitting next to him.
In the past two days, she was able to enter the barracks to see the old department of the Shen family, and Shen Ruowen was still very satisfied with going out this time, and now she was in a good mood to eat and drink, which surprised many people who were waiting to see her embarrassed.
They all sighed that this Shen Ruowen was really hidden deep enough, and this kind of scene could be calm.
“...... Your Royal Highness, come and try this black chicken with winter bamboo shoots, this is made by the concubine herself. ”
Cai Ruoyun next to the whole banquet was the busiest, asking the prince to taste that for a while, and asking the prince to taste this for a while, but as long as there were eyes present, they saw it, and the prince's eyes never left Shen Ruowen.
"Sister-in-law, come."
In the interval between Cai Ruoyun's diligent dishes, Fu Yuming personally sandwiched a piece of meat and wanted to put it in Shen Ruoyun's bowl, but she avoided it unceremoniously, smashing it with a disgusted face, "Don't pick up the vegetables, there is your saliva on it, dirty." ”
The prince Fu Yuming was petrified, and everyone was petrified.
Shen Ruowen didn't care about his embarrassment at all, wiped her hands and stood up, looking around, "I've eaten it, you can use it slowly." ”
He had already swaggered towards his residence, but the county guard Cai Mao followed behind, caught up with Shen Ruowen and said with a smile: "It's rare that His Royal Highness and Miss Shen can come to the Mansion together this time, and the lower officials have specially prepared a thin gift for Miss Shen, and I hope to accept it with a smile." ”
"And gifts?"
Shen Ruowen stopped, and her smiling gaze fell on his face with a smile on the folds, before she took the wooden box that the maidservant girl held over and opened it, which almost didn't dazzle her eyes.
This small wooden box was full of gold, silver and jewelry, even finger-sized pearls were covered with the bottom of the box, not to mention those emeralds, cat's eyes and the like, many of which Shen Ruowen had never seen at all.
Good stuff!
Shen Ruowen looked around, no one noticed this at all, rubbed her hands and hesitated, "This is not good, just this Dongzhu can be a family without food and clothing for a year, this is too precious." ”
Cai Mao had already seen her small movements in his eyes, and he was disdainful in his heart, but he resolutely pushed her into his arms, "Hey, what's wrong, eldest lady, you will be the one who will be the concubine in the future, and you are afraid that you will not be able to take this little thing, so you can accept it." ”
Shen Ruowen seemed to think about it carefully, and finally held the box and didn't let go, and nodded with a smile, "Then, it's better to be respectful than to obey." ”
Cai Mao tacitly watched Shen Ruowen leave with the box of jewels in her hands, and after the others disappeared around the corner, the smile on her face was replaced by a sneer.
On the way back, Shen Ruowen still insisted on riding a horse, wearing a gold thread embroidered riding costume shining in the sun, but she couldn't hide the woman's delicate face, her demeanor and movements were as proud as a peacock, and she had a small golden crown on her head, and the gold leaves swayed in the wind, adding a bit of liveliness and cuteness.
As for whether it is appropriate or not to show up, from the eyes of the crown prince Fu Yuming, the entourage knows how much their Royal Highness eats this set.
The prince and his party have not yet returned to the capital, and the rumors have started again, but this time most of them are laughing at Shen Ruowen.
"The prince took Miss Shen to supervise taxes, but he pampered the adopted daughter of Cai Jun's housekeeper, two people went out, and brought back three people, this loud slap hit the girl in the face, it really makes me feel happy when I think about it!"
"But it's not, the queen wanted to give Shen Ruowen a little color, not only did she not blame the prince, but she also quickly sealed the concubine Baolin to live in the East Palace, which is obviously deliberately embarrassing her, an orphan girl, she dared to refuse marriage, she really thought she was the best choice for the princess, what a joke......"
There was a lot of laughter in the Magnolia Palace, and even the birds on the branches were so frightened that they flapped their wings and fled.
"Do you really think that the queen's move is just to embarrass Shen Ruowen?"
A lazy voice came from behind the bead curtain, and the person on the couch shook the feather fan and said casually.
The concubines looked at each other, not knowing what this noble concubine had to say.
Guifei Wang Yan, the biological mother of the second prince, is standing behind her is the Wang family, the largest family in the Xuan Dynasty, and her opinions have never been on the same level as these deep palace women.
"It's true that the Shen family is the only orphan girl left, but don't forget that the Northwest Army of the General's Mansion only recognizes people and does not recognize people, just like this, Miss Shen can have no fear, not to mention that she will not take these backyard intrigues in her eyes at all, even the position of the crown princess, she may not be able to look down on it."
Some people are puzzled, "Will the queen make her more resistant by doing this, and with this girl's perverse character, she will not be willing to hand over the Northwest Army." ”
Wang Guifei covered her lips and smiled, and continued: "The queen can't be coaxed to come hard, you all don't forget that the Cai family is covering the sky in Lingxian County now, and the old department of the Shen family is now trapped there, as long as Cai Mao comes with some means, it is enough to make the general's mansion uncomfortable." ”
The concubines suddenly realized that Empress Jiang was planning to unite with the Cai family, the landlord of Ling County, to suppress the old department of the General's Mansion, and this sending women was just a means of alliance.
"It's really getting more and more interesting, when I have time, this palace also wants to invite Miss Shen to come to Yulan Palace to sit."
