Chapter 168: Entering the Palace (2)
"You don't have to pity me. Speaking of which, His Royal Highness helped me change from a contouring to a concubine's kindness, and I have already repaid it. ”
Cui Ying smiled faintly and said.
Shen Yan always felt that something was wrong with her, and there was always some indifference and ridicule in this smile.
In the past, she was so beautiful that she was like a vigorous sun, but now her smile is endlessly cold.
It's like the winter sun, which looks dazzling, but in fact there is no trace of temperature.
"What did you say?"
Shen Yan pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice.
Today, since she first entered the palace, she felt that something was not right, if Cui Ying had done something secretly, it would be explained clearly.
"It's not me, but when His Royal Highness asked for the position of Concubine Li for me, many maids and ministers heard it. This kind of news has been fermenting in the palace for a few days, and yesterday I said something intentionally or unintentionally, making others think that we are best friends. Because of your matchmaking, I am where I am today. ”
Cui Ying spoke slowly. However, in just a few days, she no longer has the heartiness she had when she first met the banquet building.
Such unfinished words are learned so quickly.
"No wonder. You can get the holy grace when you enter the palace for the first time, which means that I, who has helped you, can be regarded as a person with a heart. ”
Shen Yan knew why the group of maids at that time looked at him so much. I thought that her eldest princess's hand was stretched long enough.
"That's right."
Cui Ying said with a smile.
Shen Yan suddenly admired himself. When I was in this deep palace, I was just like her, smiling all the time, as if I was wearing a mask.
Looking at Cui Ying now, she seems to see herself at that time. It's also confusing, from an outsider being involved.
"I don't dare to claim this kind of credit alone, if you talk about it, Concubine Xian is the one who asks you to enter the palace. I'm just pushing the boat. ”
Shen Yan looked at Cui Ying, who was full of vermilion, and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will remember your kindness clearly."
Hearing Cui Ying's words, Shen Yan knew that something was wrong. Although he interceded with Cui Ying at that time, but he didn't succeed, he could only do the opposite and help her get a good grade.
All this, she had already said clearly in Cui Mansion that day, but why is Cui Ying still yin and yang?
"You're hating me?"
Shen Yan couldn't stand this anger, and he didn't need to be angry, so he asked directly.
Cui Ying didn't expect Shen Yan to ask directly, he was stunned, smiled lightly, and said, "Your Highness is a cheerful person, and it is comfortable to talk to you." ”
"I can have my current status, it is indeed thanks to you, I don't hate you, I just feel that I am really useless, my life is all at the mercy of others, and I live like a joke."
Cui Ying's words are not very logical. I'm afraid that after entering the palace, I encountered some problems.
"Niangniang, you still have a long way to go in the future, you have to learn to see it. I still have something to do today, so I will take my leave. ”
After Shen Yan said goodbye, he turned around and left.
She pitied Cui Ying, but she was also afraid of Cui Ying.
Shen Yan thought a lot, and walked around to Lin Wanrong's Jiayu Palace.
Since the last time Lin Wanrong destroyed her wedding dress in public and almost ruined her wedding, Lin Wanrong was ordered by the emperor to be confined in Jiayu Hall and was not allowed to go out unless she was called.
"See the eldest princess."
The guards guarding outside the Jiayu Hall recognized Shen Yan and saluted when they saw her coming.
Seeing that Shen Yan was about to enter the Jiayu Palace, the two hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has a decree to encircle Lin Wanrong." ”
"Your Majesty's will is to encircle Lin Wanrong, not to block the Jiayu Palace, and go in alone to take a look, can't you?"
Hearing Shen Yan's low voice, the two guards glanced at each other, a little uncertain.
She's right, but what if it's a punishment from above? Emperor Ji is the daughter of the heavenly family, so naturally there is nothing to do, they are just ordinary guards, I am afraid that they will not be beaten.
Xiao Xing followed behind Shen Yan, and when he saw the current situation, he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness just went in to catch up with Lin Wanrong, if you don't say that I won't say it, who can know?" Even if there is really something, for the sake of the eldest princess's face, the forbidden army will not embarrass you. ”
What Xiao Xing said happened to be said in the guard's heart, the two glanced at each other, and arched their hands: "Please hurry up, Your Highness." ”
"Let's go."
Shen Yan gave Feng Fang a look, and then raised his feet and went in.
Feng Fang smiled and took out a small bag of broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the two guards, saying, "This is the eldest princess who asked you to drink tea." ”
"Thank you, eldest princess."
The two of them smashed the silver and respectfully accepted it.
At the other end, Shen Yan entered the Jiayu Palace, the green bamboo outside was slim, and there was still morning dew on the leaves that had not dispersed.
The lively Jiayu Hall in the past was extremely silent at this time.
Shen Yan came a few times, so he walked to the main hall with a familiar car, pushed the door in, and saw Lin Wanrong embroidering a landscape map.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Wanrong noticed the footsteps of someone outside the hall early in the morning, but she didn't expect it to be Shen Yan, so she was surprised.
She had now washed off the lead, and her plain face was lightly powdered, and the green silk was tied up with a cloth belt and put behind her, which looked more pleasing to the eye than before.
"I entered the palace today, thinking that you are still in captivity, so I came to see you."
Shen Yan said with a smile and picked a place to sit down.
Although Lin Wanrong hurt Shen Yan, from her point of view, Shen Yan is Kanghe, the one who killed her child.
There's nothing wrong with her.
"Yesterday the palace was lively, there must be a happy event, could it be that Xu Yu became the queen?"
Lin Wanrong stayed in Jiayu Hall for so long, her heart calmed down, she forgot a lot of hatred, and simply embroidered the landscape map in front of her.
Hearing her words, Shen Yan had to admire her Lin Wanrong's thinking, and he could even think of Xu Yu defeating the queen.
"Yesterday, there was a new concubine in the palace. She is the concubine of the Cui family and the sister of Concubine Xian. ”
Shen Yan explained.
Lin Wanrong looked up at her in some surprise at this time, and said, "Your Majesty, concubine, Xu Yu and the queen are also willing?" Concubine Xian is extremely proud, even if the sisters of her clan enter the palace, they will never be equal to her. ”
I have to say that Lin Wanrong is the first woman by the emperor's side, and she has long seen the thoughts of these women in the palace.
After saying this, although he was in Jiayu Palace, his heart could indeed see clearly.
"Concubine Xian began to ask for a place for her contouring."
Shen Yan opened his mouth to explain.
"Let me guess, did you go to Your Majesty and carry her into the palace?"
At this moment, Shen Yan was stunned.
How does she know?
"Shen Nian, put away your eyes. Your temperament is the most perverse, and you won't fail to do things that can block everyone in the harem and balance the forces of all parties. Speaking of which, although Your Majesty is sometimes indifferent, he is not as ruthless as you. ”
Lin Wanrong looked at her and sneered coldly.
Shen Yan originally came to Lin Wanrong for the matter of Kanghe, but she leaked a trace of news at this time, which made Shen Yan immediately alert.
This is an opportunity.
