Chapter 125: Matters in the Palace (1)
Shen Yan and Xu Jin each held three sticks of green wood incense, and after bowing, they were inserted in the incense burner, and the cigarette lingered in the hall, connecting all the worlds.
The three gods are high up, looking at everything in the world with their eyes open.
After arriving at the gods, Shen Yan said to Xuan Wei with a smile: "I haven't thanked the Taoist chief for praying for me to the gods on the day of the wedding." ”
"This is the duty of your majesty, and Your Highness doesn't need to be polite."
Xuanwei bowed his hands, his face was as indifferent as water, and he was full of great wisdom out of the dust.
He turned his face slightly, and then looked at Xu Jin.
Xu Jin This is the first time he has seen Xuanwei, he doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, even if he occasionally reads Taoist scriptures and Buddhism, it is to expand his horizons, but the calm aura on Xuanwei's body is different from the Taoist priest next to him, so he can't help but take a few more looks.
It is like a forest and a mountain that has been silent for a long time, quietly staying in one place for a hundred years and thousands of years, and the years are immersed in the surroundings, which is unusual.
This subtle feeling cannot be said, only understood.
After bidding farewell to Xuanwei, Shen Yan and Xu Jin left the Sanqing Palace.
The sunlight shone on Shen Yan's side face, which seemed to be different from the past, and the calmness in his eyes was two points less. Every time she explores something, she doesn't become sophisticated, but goes back more and more.
When he walked down the jade steps, there was an acquaintance at the end.
"Is there something wrong with Concubine Chen?"
Shen Yan asked lightly, Xin'er looked at the group and saluted and said with a smile: "Concubine Chen Niangniang invites His Royal Highness and the concubine to go to the Feiling Hall to sit. ”
Xu Jin looked at Shen Yan, she paused obviously, and said: "The harem has the rules of the harem, although I have married the concubine, he is a foreign man after all." Is it okay to go to the mother's dormitory? ”
The rules of the harem are particularly strict when it comes to men and women.
His Royal Highness laughed, the horse is the elder brother of the mother, and when his brother and sister meet and His Royal Highness is there, no one will say anything. Even if there is, it can't be worth the friendship between His Royal Highness and his brother. ”
Xin'er's words are complete, and Shen Yan has no room for refutation.
It just so happened that she also wanted to see Concubine Chen, so she whispered to Xu Jin: "Let's go to see Concubine Chen Niangniang together, and then go home at the end." ”
Xu is her appearance is obedient, or this is said comfortably, Xu Jin was in a good mood after hearing it, and she happily nodded in agreement.
The two walked side by side in the long palace road of the harem, feeling the wind blowing in their ears. Shen Yan has walked this road many times, and this time is the easiest one.
The Sanqing Hall was not far from the Feiling Palace, and the group soon arrived.
Xin'er led the way in front and entered the hall, with the unique cold plum fragrance in the palace, and two adjacent seats were placed on the side of the table, and Concubine Chen was sitting opposite.
In the past, when Shen Yan came, he always went into the inner hall with her to chat, but now he still has a Xu Jin, so he can only be in the outer hall.
After the three of them met the ceremony, Shen Yan and Xu Jin sat down.
Soon, a slipped melon and fruit tea was complete. And a plate of horseshoe crisp was placed directly in front of Shen Yan's eyes.
Concubine Chen looked at Shen Yan's calm appearance of combing the woman's hair, and said with a chuckle: "Your Highness's outfit today has stunned the palace, but in a few months, it is the appearance of a woman. ”
"I also feel this way, in a trance, the days of playing chess with my mother are still fresh in my memory, like yesterday. It's really unforgiving. ”
Shen Yan pursed his lips lightly and said with a deliberate sigh.
It was a miracle that she played chess with Concubine Chen. She obviously lost but her interest was very high, but it was Concubine Chen, who won every time, and was half killed by Shen Yan every time.
Helplessly, Shen Yan's chess game was really bad. And she doesn't have the slightest shame of being a bad chess player, she always likes to pull Concubine Chen to play chess, and it is two hours at a time.
Hearing Shen Yan's words, the smile on the corner of Concubine Chen's mouth crossed directly, and she said straight to Xu Jin: "You just let her mess around?" ”
"I prefer her to be casual and say whatever she wants."
Xu Jin said indifferently, his face was flat, and he didn't even raise his eyelids much, as if he said a casual remark about today's good weather.
When these words fell, everyone was shocked.
Xiao Xing and Feng Xuan stood behind them and looked at Shen Yan with a hint of ridicule and relief, feeling that they might soon have a little master.
Shen Yan was calm, picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.
He sings lonely in this one-man show, but Xu Jin sings occasionally It is still surprising. Such love words come casually, and they are unexpectedly appropriate.
Even a master of love like Concubine Chen widened his eyes.
Concubine Chen looked back and forth between the two, bent her eyes, and finally said lazily: "Okay, you husband and wife are one against the palace, and you can't win it." ”
"I conceded."
Shen Yan squinted his eyes and smiled.
Both smiled.
Xu Jin has seen the cautious Shen Yan, the Shen Yan who pretends to be deep and old-fashioned, the ruthless Shen Yan, and the refreshing Shen Yan, but he has never seen such a coquettish and careless person.
She is like an ordinary girl at this time, she can be coquettish, she can cheat, and she has a little temper, which is much more flexible than the emperor who is imprisoned under the title of eldest princess.
Concubine Chen sat opposite, not missing the deep helplessness in Xu Jin's eyes.
"This palace is looking for you today because I have something important to say."
Concubine Chen put away the smile on her face at this time and said to Shen Yan seriously.
Most of what the two of them can say between them has some harem secrets.
Shen Yan intuitively felt that this matter belonged to the secret matter of the harem, so he turned his face to look at Xu Jin, only to see that he leisurely drank the tea in his hand, looked at himself with a pair of deep eyes, and said, "I'll wait for you outside the palace." ”
With that, he got up with his sleeves folded and went out with steady steps.
When the door of the hall was closed, Shen Yan withdrew his gaze.
Concubine Chen said lazily: "Don't look so lingering and compassionate, it turned me into a stick that beats mandarin ducks." It's just a matter of keeping the two of you apart for a while, there's nothing missing. ”
"You have never been the one who beats the mandarin duck, you are the other one who takes apart the mandarin duck."
Shen Yan was unwilling to bow to the wind and spoke.
Concubine Chen is such a bright color, if you want to disassemble a pair of mandarin ducks, you don't need to do anything, as long as you stand there and throw two winks, most of the men have to bow down.
The two went through a few tricks and felt that the other party was the one who knew them best. is the sarcasm of this speech, only the other party can receive it so smoothly and so poorly.
"I already know about the day of your wedding, and I went to intercede with Your Majesty afterwards."
Concubine Chen refers to Lin Wanrong's big trouble in the Qingsi Palace and the destruction of the wedding dress with a murder weapon.
"I know. I haven't had time to thank you yet. The imperial brother said that Lin Wanrong had been confined in Jiayu Hall and was not allowed to go out unless called. Thanks to your intercession, it would be difficult for the queen to be preserved under her majesty. ”
Shen Yan said, but Concubine Chen sneered and shook her head.
At this moment, Shen Yan was confused.
Fortunately, Concubine Chen didn't plan to play dumb riddles today, so she looked down and said, "This is not something I got from pleading." When I went to the Zichen Palace, the queen had already added fuel and vinegar to say something. And Your Majesty directly issued a death order and banned Lin Wanrong. He also said that no one should say this matter again in the future, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! ”
The word 'chop' fell, and there was silence in the hall.
