Chapter 109: Joining Hands to Set Up a Situation (5)
Xiao Xing shook his head, his eyes were worried, and comforted: "I just want Your Highness to remember that there are still many people behind you who care about you, be careful in everything, and don't be in a hurry." β
Shen Yan looked at her slightly worried eyes, and only felt that Xiaoxing had grown up, and she was no longer a little girl who could jump around for a long time just for a squirrel house.
"Hmm."
She looked at Xiaoxing and replied firmly.
The words are simple and deep, and both of them understand.
Concubine Chen saw this scene of deep affection between master and servant, sighed in her heart, put down the teacup, smiled at Shen Yan and said, "Okay, I've played chess and drunk tea, it's time to get down to business." I have come today, but I have good things to tell you. It's kind of reassuring. β
After that, her eyes were tactful, like a hook, putting people's curiosity on the surface.
Shen Yan looked at her helplessly.
Concubine Chen is definitely a first-class master as a favorite concubine, and the indescribable charm in her eyes alone is something that others can't learn.
"Your Highness and Niangniang are talking about business, and I will go out first."
Xiaoxing heard that the two were going to talk about business, so he asked to leave, and went out and took the temple door with him.
"Xiaoxing, this girl is smart and clever, knows how to advance and retreat, keeps measure, and does not have a curiosity that kills people. If she hadn't been loyal to you, I'd have wanted to pry it away. β
Concubine Chen heard the sound of the door closing, leaned lazily to the side, and said with a smile.
She said this casually, but Shen Yan could hear that she was sincere.
Shen Yan was playing with black chess pieces in his hand, and when he heard her words, he sneered and said, "Xiaoxing is a person, she has her own thoughts and thoughts, even if you pry people away, can you still pry away your heart?" β
"I'm so sad about what you said."
Concubine Chen narrowed her eyes and said fiercely.
She was like a meek fox in disguise, licking her gorgeous fur and squinting as if planning her next dinner party.
Shen Yan dropped the chess pieces in his hand, raised his eyes and said calmly, "What good news do you have to tell me?" β
The appearance of this big horn is really a little underbeaten.
Concubine Chen couldn't help but roll her eyes, hooked her fingers to lure Shen Yan over, and the two of them held their heads on the chessboard and whispered: "I have already given Qi Shanggong a hint, she must be trying to make a wedding dress now." β
"That's as it should be."
Shen Yan bowed his head and agreed.
"But Lu Ying is in prison! There aren't many people in the palace who have the ability to draw new paper patterns. Concubine Chen pulled away the black-and-white battle on the chessboard with one hand and said in a low voice.
Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at the chaotic chess game at the moment, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile.
"Lin Wanrong is one of them, right? The Shanggong Bureau wants to save itself, and if Lu Sizhi wants to live, then my big wedding can't be delayed. The only way is to get the wedding dress out on time. β
Concubine Chen nodded, indicating that she was right.
Now that the only way has been laid out, it depends on whether the people of the Shanggong Bureau can seize the opportunity.
"In a few days, I'll go to the prison and knock on the side. Lu Ying is a smart person, if she stays for a few more days, it will be your wedding date, and if she misses the wedding, she will be a capital crime. When the time comes, I will pretend to mention that Lin Wanrong betrayed her......"
Concubine Chen smiled, her eyes were full of blue waves, but her mouth was talking about scheming.
Shen Yan reviewed her plan in her heart, felt that it was feasible, and said: "Lu Siji, you go and beat the clichΓ©, and Lin Wanrong will hand it over to me." β
"Now I hope that Lin Wanrong can gamble a little bit, and the monk palace bureau will work together to make this wedding dress, otherwise something will really happen."
When Concubine Chen heard Shen Yan talk about Lin Wanrong, she frowned and sighed, and said.
If you don't even have a wedding dress, how can it be carried out?
Isn't it a joke!
Thinking of this, Concubine Chen's free and easy-going temperament couldn't help but sink and panic. It's just that Shen Yan, the party who can sit still, is the best.
Shen Yan was a little sneering, coughed lightly, and said, "Lin Wanrong is in a panic in the Monk Palace, and the right to give you and me a breath." As for the wedding dress, isn't there still Xu Jin? Now that the outstanding embroiderers in Chang'an are in his house, it's not difficult for him to hurry up and make me a wedding dress, right? β
Concubine Chen sat up straight, squinted her eyes, and looked Shen Yan up and down.
Ghosts.
The smile on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth was too abnormal.
She seemed to think of something, her eyes widened, her jade hand slapped the table, and asked sharply: "Xu Jin's three hundred embroidery girls should be for your wedding dress?" β
"Hmm."
Shen Yan nodded in agreement.
Concubine Chen froze directly in place, stunned for a long time and didn't know what to say, her hand just slapped on the table and shook off a few chess pieces from the whole mess, just like her mood.
In the end, Concubine Chen lowered her gaze and said coldly: "You are hiding it tightly." Concealing the wind is nothing more than distrusting her, and concealing it from me is not trusting me. In vain, I'm worried that you'll get married without a wedding dress! β
The more she spoke, the more angry she became, her voice like that of an ice cellar, and her eyes fierce.
Shen Yan knew that he had provoked her, and said with a shy smile: "This matter has not been decided yet, and you also know that there has never been a precedent for the emperor's wedding dress to be made by a foreign family. I didn't tell you in advance, I was worried that the matter was not done, Bai Huanxi, don't be angry. β
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and tugged at the corner of Concubine Chen's clothes, her mouth was deflated, and she was very aggrieved.
Concubine Chen looked at her appearance, and only felt like a puppy being bullied on the side of the road.
As soon as this ridiculous thought flashed, he was strangled to death by Concubine Chen.
"Okay, since Xu Jin has Xu Jin to cover the matter of the wedding dress, then this time you should play with Lu Ying and let her know the consequences of one servant and two masters."
Concubine Chen put away her temper and said calmly.
"Hmm."
Shen Yan smiled and nodded.
For her, this bureau is not for Lu Ying, but for Lin Wanrong.
She needs to know the past of Lin Wanrong and Kang He, and she also needs to find out where the mysterious power that has been pulling her in the deep palace comes from.
This mystery, the thread is Lin Wanrong!
The chessboard was a mess, with black and white scattered around, just like it is today. But as long as the chessboard remains, anything is possible.
β¦β¦
Things went according to their plan.
The Shang Palace Bureau was in dire straits, except for the female histories needed for daily palace affairs, nearly half of the female histories were allocated to the division room, and they followed Fu Sishan to make wedding dresses.
The paper pattern of the wedding dress has been conveyed to the hands of the women.
The whole set of wedding dresses is red as the base, gold and silver threads are intertwined, colorful xia chasing clouds and embroidery patterns, treasures are embellished with xia drape, and colorful flowers and grasses are accompanied by dark patterns of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
Although this paper pattern is not as good as the previous alternative, it is still eye-catching.
The new set of paper patterns that Fu Sishan took out was luxurious and exquisite, and it was also in line with the identity and etiquette of the eldest princess. Qi Shanggong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least for now, things are slowly getting better.
Everyone was full of enthusiasm and began to work day and night, and the candles of the Shanggong Bureau were not extinguished day and night, except for the time for eating and sleeping, all of them were in the Shanggong Bureau.
Five days passed quietly, and it was less than ten days before the wedding.
