Chapter 100: The Eldest Princess (2)
When they returned to the Qingsi Palace, everyone was already waiting outside the palace gate, and when they saw Shen Yan, they greeted them with a smile, and congratulated them in unison: "The slave maid participates in Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I wish Her Royal Highness good health and joy." ”
"There is a reward today, everyone is happy."
It's a good thing to have a reward, who doesn't love money, hearing Shen Yan's words, everyone had a smile on their faces that couldn't be hidden.
The sealing ceremony lasted for most of the day, from early morning to afternoon, a whole circle of etiquette walked down, and Shen Yan only felt a sore shoulder.
She thought that she had excellent physical fitness, but she still bowed down to this mundane etiquette.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has just given me a double-eared jade pot, South China Sea colored beads, eight screens carved and lacquered, and gold, silver and jade silks, all of which are now placed in the apse. The gifts of the queen and the ladies of the palace were also put away. Would you like to take a look? ”
Shen Yan was about to return to the hall, but Feng Yan quickly followed behind her, and said with a soft smile.
Now she was transferred by Shen Yan to serve in the inner hall and serve with Xiaoxing. Although Feng Xuan looks shy and cute, he is a good hand at handling affairs.
She entered the palace when she was a child, and she was a rare transparent person in the deep palace.
lives transparently, but can still have a soft heart.
When Xiao Xing heard this, he echoed and said: "The carved lacquer hollow eight screens given by His Majesty seem to be a treasure offered by the place some time ago, and it is said that the jade carving is lifelike, if you change steps, it will be different." Why doesn't Your Highness open our eyes? ”
It was rare for her to have such a playful heart, and Shen Yan readily agreed.
When the three of them arrived at the apse, the attendants of the outer wards stood aside after saluting.
Eighteen mahogany shelves are arranged on both sides, with various treasures, and there are large heavy chests on the ground. And the screen given by the emperor was put aside.
"It's beautiful."
Xiaoxing couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes widened, and he sighed.
Feng Xuan had already seen the gift he received in the Qingsi Palace, and he still couldn't help but secretly marvel.
She stepped forward and explained to Shen Yan, who was looking at the screens: "These eight screens are based on mahogany lacquer, jade inlaid and carved portraits, and then accompanied by carved lacquer paintings, which are natural. The best thing is the inlaid jade carving, you walk from one side of the screen to the other, it is different. ”
Shen Yan was a little surprised, so he walked from one side to the other according to what Feng Xuan said, and the villain on the jade carving pitched up, and it seemed to be moving between changes.
This is carved according to the different angles of the viewer, and the same jade carving should take into account the view of so many faces, and the action should be coherent, which is really rare.
"It's really a craftsman, you look at this villain, it seems to be moving."
Shen Yan pointed to the villain on the jade carving and said to Xiaoxing.
Xiaoxing looked in the direction of her finger and walked back and forth a few times, becoming more and more surprised.
It was the first time she had seen such a treasure.
Feng Xuan said with a smile: "I heard that this screen is a treasure carefully made by a craftsman for many years, and today His Majesty gave it to His Highness, which shows that His Highness is deeply gracious." ”
Shen Yan saw it, and after the rarity was over, he lost his superfluous interest. She now has a sore back and legs, and she just wants to go back to the temple to take off this outfit and relax her scalp.
Just as she turned to leave, her eyes inadvertently fell on the desk next to her.
"What is this?"
"This is the embroidery sent by Lin Wanrong, and it has not been registered in the warehouse."
On the desk is a boxy shell box, in which is placed a thin silk embroidered Bafang fan, Shen Yan picked it up, only to feel that it is warm to start.
The handle of the fan is made of the best Hetian jade.
She flipped it slightly, and her eyes fell on the double-sided bamboo embroidery on the fan.
The silk thread is embroidered, the stitches are fine, and the green bamboo is full of vitality, which is obviously embroidered by Lin Wanrong herself.
"Your Highness wants to take out the fan?"
Feng Xuan saw Shen Yan playing with the fan, thinking that she liked it, so he said tentatively.
Shen Yan shook his head, put the fan back in the box and closed it, and said lightly: "Charcoal fire in summer and cool fan in winter, if you miss the time, no matter how good it is, it is useless." ”
……
"Your Highness, I have already checked the relationship between Lu Si and Lin Wanrong."
There were only two people left in the hall, and Xiaoxing helped her take off the crown and whispered in Shen Yan's ear.
"I used His Highness's selection of embroidery samples as an excuse to check the archives of the division's room. When Lin Wanrong first entered the palace, she was the only beauty, and the service and etiquette were all gorgeous, which was obviously out of order. But after she became Wanrong, it was much more reasonable. ”
Shen Yan took off the earrings and said lightly: "After all, she was the only concubine of His Majesty at that time, and her status was different, even if she was more than right, no one would say it." ”
After the emperor succeeded to the throne, the harem was ownerless, and Lin Meiren at that time could be described as a standout.
"Your Highness! I asked King Qin's secret guard in the palace to check on Lu Si and Lin Wanrong's hometown, and found out something. ”
Xiao Xing smiled but looked at Shen Yan tentatively.
With the help of investigating this matter, she did not tell Shen Yan in advance.
"What did you find?"
A white cat and a black cat are good cats if they catch mice. It's good to be able to find out the involvement behind the incident, and his efforts are also for Kanghe, and Wang Huanzhi's contribution is nothing.
Shen Yan didn't mean to blame Xiaoxing, so she put her mind at ease.
"Lu Sizhi and Lin Wanrong's female celebrities are both excellent, because they have a teacher!"
Xiaoxing said seriously.
"One teacher. Are you saying that the two knew each other before they entered the palace? ”
If it was an old acquaintance, then why didn't Lu Ying stay by Lin Wanrong's side? Instead, he stayed by Zhong Cui's side and made a palm that had nothing to do with the female celebrity.
Shen Yan combed his hair and continued to listen to Xiaoxing's words.
"yes. When Lin Wanrong married His Majesty, His Majesty was still the crown prince. This is all twenty years ago, and most of the memories are blurred. If it weren't for the fact that the city lord of Xu hired three hundred embroiderers this time, the momentum was huge, and the swallows would not have found out about it. ”
King Qin's secret guard Yanzi went to Lin Wanrong's hometown to investigate, and on the way, he heard people from the same village chatting, saying that he was envious of Chen Xiuniang, who had entered the palace to serve Niangniang, and now he could earn ten taels of gold a month.
followed this line to find the important person Chen Xiuniang.
"Did she find anything?"
"Chen Xiuniang's embroidery is ranked first in Chang'an, there are not one thousand but eight hundred women she has taught for decades, we didn't find any valuable clues from her, we only know that Lu Si and Lin Wanrong have a very good relationship."
Xiaoxing said with some deflatedness.
The person who was finally tracked down was of little use, and she was a little depressed.
"Also, it was decades ago, and it's not easy for her to remember these two people."
Shen Yan secretly said in his heart, Lin Wanrong and Concubine Chen were hostile, but Lu Sizhi was secretly standing in the two camps, which could not be said to be unsmart.
Who is she, I'm afraid that only Lu Sizhi knows it in his heart.
"That's right. Originally, Chen Xiuniang didn't remember Lu Si's system, but she remembered Lin Wanrong. said yes, Lin Wanrong was extremely beautiful and free-flowing, she was an eye-catching girl in the embroidery workshop at that time, and later flew on the branches to become a phoenix and married the prince of the dynasty. ”
Chen Xiuniang said that because of her temperament at that time, most people in the embroidery workshop did not like Lin Wanrong, and only Lu Ying, that is, Lu Si, had been around her. The female celebrities of the two are outstanding, so I remembered. ”
