Chapter 121: Dismount (1)
"Hmm. He's a rarity. β
Shen Yan nodded, and said with a light smile.
Born in such a family with high power and talent, Xu Jin's entry into the court seems reasonable. But compared to his two brothers, he was more calm.
"I heard that Xu Jin still has a concubine."
Shen Yan rolled up his sleeves to drink tea, as if he had no intention of asking, and the teacup was placed on the table with a bang, as if a drum was beating in everyone's hearts, and he was stunned for a moment.
When Hongxiu heard this, her brain immediately became shocked.
Since ancient times, the relationship between this wife and concubine has been incompatible. Especially the new wife of the city lord is still the eldest princess of the heavenly family.
She was afraid that she was going to set rules for Mrs. An.
Hongxiu has an excellent impression of An Niang, so she naturally refuses to betray her.
"The city lord accepted two ladies last year, and the most favored banquet lady is a Hu man who has disappeared. The rest of us, we call her Mrs. Ann. β
The yellow-haired Hu Ren Yan Niang was naturally Shen Yan who was staying in the City Lord's Mansion at that time.
Shen Yan's face did not change at all when she heard her, she turned the teacup in her hand, and with her other hand, she knocked on the fold of the clothes in front of her knee, and said with a light smile: "It turned out to be An's." β
Ann and Mrs. Ann, these are two different concepts.
Aside from the honorific title of Mrs., An is much more casual, and it seems undignified, as if he is casually sending people.
Hongxiu thought that the eldest princess was a good-natured person just now, but she didn't expect that now she was going to give Mrs. An a horse.
She said with a smile: "Mrs. An only entered the mansion last year, and she is a weak character. β
The subtext is that Mrs. An is high and will not compete with Shen Yan for favor.
Hongxiu said this, naturally wanting to prevent An Niang from a catastrophe. But these words didn't work at all for Shen Yan, who had a grudge.
"Since you said so, Lone is very curious."
Shen Yan pretended not to know and said with a light smile. Her eyes were calm and indifferent, as if she didn't take the matter to heart, just said it casually.
Hongxiu didn't know how to take her words, just smirked.
Everyone says that the eldest princess in Daming Palace is smart, and she can be regarded as a teacher today, and the twists and turns of this speech are really powerful. She felt like she was going to be buried in a pit dug by calculations.
Seeing her nervous appearance, Shen Yan was not interested in teasing any more, so he just said, "I'm a little tired, I need to rest first." As for the An, she will come to pay homage to me in a while, so let's wait outside first. β
This is finalized, An Niang must see her, and she has to wait outside.
This is the naked dismount.
Hongxiu's favor for Shen Yan immediately fell to the freezing point, and she only felt that this was an arrogant and domineering master, so she retreated after saluting.
The door closed, and only the three masters and servants were left in the silent room.
"What do you want to say?"
Shen Yan saw Xiao Xing's solemn face, so he asked.
Xiao Xing sighed, raised his eyes and said to Shen Yan: "The people of the Xu Mansion deliberately arranged for these young and beautiful maids to be in His Highness's mansion, obviously to block you. They have just entered the palace, and they dare to do this! β
"It's okay, I still want to stuff Xu Jin with a few more concubines. If he comes to the Smoke Courtyard one day and sees someone, he doesn't need to say it, I'll pack them up and send them over first. β
Shen Yan comforted Xiao Xing, who knew that when he heard her words, Xiao Xing stared at her eyes and puffed up, looking sad.
"So, what about the Ahns?"
Feng Xuan said weakly on one side, and looked at Shen Yan with wet eyes.
She just saw clearly that His Royal Highness disliked this Mrs. An very much, and he was quite contemptuous in his words, and even wanted to give Mrs. An a horse.
Xiaoxing immediately forgot about the beautiful maid, and said with the words: "Since His Royal Highness still wants to give the concubine to the concubine, why do you still want to make Mrs. An ugly today?" β
"Because I'm glad to."
Shen Yan blinked, got up and went into the inner room to lie on the soft bed, closed his eyes and prepared to rest, obviously not wanting to say more.
Xiaoxing and Feng Xuan glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. He stepped forward and put down the golden hook, hanging down the layers of soft smoke, covering Shen Yan's figure in the curtain.
The scent of goose pear wafts faintly in the house, calming the nerves and helping them sleep.
Shen Yan is a calculating person. She easily remembers the good of people and the bad of people.
When she was in Jiangcheng, she sincerely treated An Niang, but she was knocked unconscious and robbed by her. Because of this, there will be all kinds of entanglements in Chang'an in the future. This revenge is not big, and she doesn't want to ask for any vigorous price.
But she didn't plan to let An Niang go easily.
Shen Yan's little sympathy has long been erased by trivial things.
β¦β¦
An Niang stood in the courtyard of the Fufeng Courtyard for an hour. The maids who passed by looked at her secretly, and then quickly left.
She only wore two simple plain clothes today, and her waist was full of hands, like a weak willow supporting the wind, standing in the courtyard blowing a cold wind, her little face was white, and she was the same as plain clothes.
An Niang smiled lightly, endured the pain under her feet and the cold air on her body, and raised her eyes to look at the plaque in the Fufeng Courtyard, her eyes were unclear.
The day has finally come.
Shen Yan took a nap and got up, only to feel that his head was much clearer, and the fatigue on his body was also reduced. She really didn't sleep well last night.
As soon as she sat up, she heard Xiaoxing raise the curtain and say beside her, "An has been waiting outside for an hour. β
Shen Yan slept soundly and satisfactorily this afternoon, but unfortunately the cold wind outside blew people, and the time was not so easy to survive.
"What do you think of her?"
Shen Yan got up and sorted out the clothes on his body, and asked lightly.
Xiao Xing sank his face and said quite seriously: "I don't think the An family is a good match, today His Royal Highness clearly wants to give her a horse, and he said early in the morning that she should wait in the courtyard." As a result, she wore thin clothes to get cold. Yesterday's wedding, today I wear plain clothes to find bad luck. Everywhere is carefully designed, and if His Highness is not careful, he will have a bad reputation. β
"Oh? Sure enough, it was the person he fancied. β
Shen Yan chuckled twice when he heard this, and put down the silk scarf in his hand.
She thought of Wang Huanzhi's evaluation of An Niang, and she thought exquisitely. also said that he was compared with An Niang, with a simple mind and naΓ―ve means, and he was easily calculated.
can be selected by Wang Huanzhi and placed in Jiangcheng, An Niang's means and thoughts do not need to be questioned. is Xiaoxing, who looks simple, but his mind is transparent, and he can see through An Niang's tricks at a glance.
"So what do we do?"
Xiaoxing asked worriedly.
In Daming Palace, you can still rely on Concubine Chen, but now you can only rely on yourself when you leave the palace. The fight between the women of the backhouse is not a little weaker than that of the harem.
It's only the first day, and it's been staged.
"Please come in. I brought this trouble upon myself today. But here's the trouble, I look for her, she looks for me, and the result is the same. β
Shen Yan got up and sat on top of the seat, drank the tea in his cup, and cleared his throat.
Today's Ma Wei was given by her on her own initiative, and the trouble was also caused by herself. Now, An Niang can only see the moves, but she hasn't seen her for a long time, and she is still so clever.
