Chapter 37: The Sandpiper and the Clam Fight (2)
"During the days when you lived in the Chengqian Palace, Niangniang first dialed two palace maids to come over to serve, the scenery, the wind, and came to see the emperor."
As soon as Fengxue's words fell, two maids came in and saluted Shen Yan.
"The slave has seen the emperor, and the emperor is blessed."
After the two of them got up, Shen Yan took a cursory look, and the two maids in front of him had a little powder on their faces, and the youthful vitality on their faces was like green shoots in spring, clean and energetic.
The scenery is slightly taller, the body is long, and there is already some feminine charm. Feng Xuan still looks like a girl, her cheeks are fleshy, and she is a ball of harmony.
Seeing the two people in front of him, Shen Yan suddenly remembered the little girl in Jiangcheng, made Su cheese for her, and helped her raise her hair. She is also this size, and she is a lovely and pure little girl......
Xiao Xing saw that Shen Yan was a little distracted, and secretly tugged at her sleeve.
"Thank you for the kindness of the queen."
Shen Yan shook his senses, saw the style of the palace in front of him, and realized that he had been in the palace for some time.
She was no longer Shen Yan who had to be attached to Xu Jin's side at the beginning.
"The minister retired." Although the scenery was doubtful, he bowed indifferently and left the side hall.
If the maid in the palace sits in the seat of a female official, she can call herself a minister, while a maid without rank can only call herself a slave, and the status will be very different.
It's like the female official of the Shanggong Bureau was disrespectful to her in every way, and now if she wants to deal with it, she has to carefully investigate it before she can be punished. There is always something special about a female officer who has set a rank.
The scenery and wind were originally by the queen's side, and they have long been well versed in the laws of survival in the palace. For the slave maid, the master is the sky, so he stood still obediently and waited for Shen Yan to speak.
"There's nothing to do here, you two go out and serve, something will call you."
The maid who came over by force, Shen Yan was always a little wary in his heart.
After the two retreated, Xiao Xing blinked his eyes and said mysteriously: "I found that these people are now stammering with the emperor." ”
"They are not talking to me, they are talking to Your Majesty."
Shen Yan was not yet well-fed, and now his body was a little weak, and there were only two people left in the room, she and Xiaoxing were left, so she collapsed on the couch without any scruples, and replied with a smile.
Although it is a partial hall here, it is cleverly arranged, the sunlight under the Sujuan screen window is soft, lying on the top of the mat does not feel cold, and there is a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves on the tip of the nose.
"I'm going to ask the queen tomorrow to set your rank and be my personal officer. In addition to having more money, others don't dare to touch you easily. ”
Xiaoxing nodded happily and began to fantasize about the days to come.
"If I become the female official of the emperor, then I must have a lot of silver. Then I can buy a lot of hairpins, beautiful clothes, and delicious pastries? ”
Xiao Xing counted the good days in the future with his fingers, and his eyes were crooked with joy, seeing her like this, Shen Yan couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, and added: "There will be everything, but I am behind you." ”
"Thank you, Diji!"
After talking and laughing, Shen Yan had time to start analyzing the current situation.
The king of Qin declared that he was critically ill and secretly pulled out the minions that the enemy had planted in the army and the palace. The emperor used the name of Kang and Emperor Ji to disrupt the power of the harem again, making the confrontation between the empress and Xu Zhaoyi more obvious.
Although she is an outsider, it is a wonderful thing that she is cleverly located in the center of the changes inside and outside the palace.
On the second day, Xu Zhaoyi sent someone to invite Shen Yan to drink tea in the Feiling Palace.
The newcomer's landscape dressing skills are excellent, she recommended herself to help Shen Yan comb Pingyan's high bun, and put on a pearl and jade crown given by the queen yesterday.
The corolla is embellished with velvet flowers, pearl flowers, jade flowers, at a glance, it is very dazzling.
But Shen Yan looked at himself in the bronze mirror and only felt that it was a walking vase......
"Xu Zhaoyi just invited me to tea, this is too grand, just help me comb my hair in a simple bun."
Shen Yan saw that she decisively pressed the gorgeous flower crown on her head, her scalp tightened, and she hurriedly opened her mouth to command.
Xiaoxing was watching from the sidelines, but as soon as she spoke, she took the flower crown from the scenery.
"The minister came to dress up for the emperor."
Her serious appearance was very coaxing, and Shen Yan nodded with a smile.
The scenery waited for Shen Yan for the first time, his face was a little unbearable, seeing the two of them like this, he knew that he couldn't speak, so he took the flower crown from Xiaoxing's hand and went out.
"Just keep it simple."
Shen Yan looked at Xiao Xing, who was holding a comb in the bronze mirror, and instructed. Xiaoxing helped her split and develop her bun, the green silk was scattered, it was already up to her waist, and her tail was still curly.
"This curly hair is also strange, why can't it be straightened all the time?" Xiaoxing combed his hair and muttered.
She had seen Hu people, Westerners, and those people's curly hair was from the root to the end. In Xiaoxing's cognition, Di Ji is a Han Chinese, and this hair should naturally be straight.
Shen Yan didn't care, and explained, "This curly hair is curled with an iron rod, so it can't be straightened." ”
The principle of the curling iron is protein styling, which is much the same, and a rough explanation is good.
However, it is better to cut off the curls after a while......
When the scenery helped her comb her hair just now, she obviously noticed the curls at the end of her hair, but she didn't say a word, but she was a girl who could hide things.
After the dressing was over, Shen Yan casually wore a bright yellow round-necked shirt, a long, intercolored pleated skirt and soft-bottomed cloud shoes, and went out.
The queen's Chengqian Hall and Xu Zhaoyi's Feiling Hall are on the left and right sides of the harem of Daming Palace, and the distance is really a little far. Because of this, as well as the discord between the two masters, the people of the Chengqian Hall and the Feiling Hall rarely interacted in private.
When Shen Yan arrived, his forehead was already a little sweaty.
Xu Zhaoyi's personal female official Xin'er had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and when she saw Shen Yan and Xiaoxing, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile.
"Emperor Ji Wanfu, Zhaoyi has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xin'er had a hearty temperament, grinned, and brought the two in.
Although the Feiling Hall is Xu Zhaoyi's palace, the layout is extremely gorgeous, carved lacquer, painted with gold and jade, even the Chengqian Hall can not be compared.
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the fragrance of the three immortals in the bamboo forest, and you can see all the rare treasures, and there is a phoenix screen on one side of the hall, marigold Ruyi and so on.
The phoenix screen and marigold are exclusive to the queen, and Xu Zhaoyi is just a second-grade Zhaoyi, but they are used.
Speaking of which, there are two phoenix screens in the Chengqian Palace.
Shen Yan narrowed her eyes, she had heard Xu Zhaoyi's name outside the palace. The mothers of the concubines in the palace are all powerful parties, but Xu Zhaoyi, who was born in a commoner, sat in the position of the second grade, and was deeply favored by the emperor, often exceeding his duties, but he was never punished.
The woman who jumped into the lake in Taiye Pool that day was depressed, and she did not have Xu Zhaoyi's arrogant and domineering appearance at all. If she hadn't remembered the face, she wouldn't have been able to connect the two.
