Chapter Twenty-Eight: Entering the Palace

Two days passed quickly.

In spring, the morning light shines through the window, and the moist air slowly turns into water vapor and dissipates. The warmth of the sun and the scent of apricot blossoms filled the house.

In front of the dressing table in the room, there were two young women, and between the two sat an even younger girl.

The two were pulling up the girl's hair and applying makeup.

The moist eyes and slender willow eyebrows add a bit of maturity to her little face.

With a beautifully carved magnolia on his head, he made the jet-black vertical hair more flowing.

There are fine tassels on the forehead, which just cover the tail of the eyebrows, making the willow eyebrows looming, and it is more delicate.

The gorgeous satin skirt is wrapped just right in the body that has just developed for a long time, like a slightly green fruit, which makes people want to wear it, but they can't bear to pick it.

"Miss." Ali smoothed out the last strand of her hair and rested the comb on the dresser, as if inadvertently asking, "Who did you let into the palace with you today?" ”

"Still undecided, do you have any proposals?" Shen Yafei looked at her makeup with satisfaction and replied casually.

"The slave maid first recommends herself to the young lady, and let the slave and the maid go with the young lady."

"Don't you have to take care of Ah Xiu?" Shen Yafei paused.

Ah Xiu was picked up by Ah Li the night before yesterday, and since she came back from Ah Xiu, except for asking for peace yesterday morning, Ah Li has never been in front of her again, and she has taken care of Ah Xiu every step of the way. If it weren't for Zhiyu's hairstyle, she wouldn't have asked Ali to come out.

Ali's eyes flashed, and she said, "The slave's job is to take care of Miss, not to take care of Ah Xiu, so naturally it is more important to take care of Miss." ”

Shen Yafei glanced at her with a sneer.

Ali was full of excitement, looked up at Shen Yafei's eyes in the mirror, and said: "Ah Xiu didn't serve Miss Hao the day before yesterday, and the slave maid made amends to Miss for her, and the slave maid must have served Miss this time and atonement for Ah Xiu." There is also the fact that there is no suitable maid in the Summer Palace who can accompany the young lady into the palace. Although the slave maid has never entered the palace, the slave and maid have learned the etiquette in the palace from the mother. It will be more convenient for the young lady to accompany the young lady into the palace by the slave maid. ”

Shen Yafei agreed with Ali's remarks, and nodded in agreement.

Ali didn't think that Shen Yafei would agree so easily.

However, it's good to agree, as long as she enters the palace, she can contact the princess, and she will persuade the princess to make some plans in advance!

The Shen family entered the palace this time and was equipped with a troika. Mrs. Shen and General Shen have one, Shen Yaru and Lin Wanxin have one, and one is Shen Yafei's own, and it is obvious that the people of the Shen family are not willing to share the same car with her. The two sons of the Shen family went on horseback.

Although it was Ali who Shen Yafei promised to bring into the palace, she also brought Zhiyu with her, and let Zhiyu wait outside the palace gate when the time came, in case anything happened.

She just returned to Beijing, although she knew who the person who had always wanted to harm her was, but she was not familiar with that person at all, and she didn't understand that person's plan to deal with her.

After entering the palace, the men of the Shen family separated from the female dependents and directly visited the emperor.

Mrs. Shen took her female relatives to Fukang Palace to meet the Queen Mother.

When the queen mother is actually the emperor's adoptive mother, the queen mother's surname is Yuan, is the original match of the first emperor, because there is nothing around, so the first emperor put the current emperor next to the queen mother, the queen mother was a painstaking emperor, as her own, everything is personal. Therefore, the emperor respects her very much, and even the prince of Daili respects her very much.

Today, the queen and the queen mother are aunts and nephews, and Yuan Xinyi and the emperor are cousins of childhood sweethearts. She is the biological mother of Hua Chunyuan, the fourth prince.

And the first queen is the only daughter of the prime minister Yan Molian, Yan Molian and the queen are sisters who have a very good relationship, but they are also the queens who were set by the emperor since childhood.

Of course, the emperor and the current queen are in love, but they had no choice but to marry Yan Molian as the queen.

After Yuan Xinyi went to Yan Molian in the emperor, she hid her from each other, but she never got married.

Later, because after Queen Yan gave birth to the prince, her health became worse and worse. Yuan Xinyi took care of her wholeheartedly regardless of her previous suspicions, and later the queen proposed to the emperor to accept Yuan Xinyi as a concubine.

After Yuan Xinyi entered the palace, she still respected the queen very much, and even the son of Queen Yan was very good, and she did not compete for favor with the emperor, and even her own son respected the queen as her own mother. Therefore, Empress Yan also trusted her, and entrusted the crown prince and King Ning to her before Empress Yan died, and also made the emperor promise to make her queen after her death.

The current crown prince and King Ning also respect her very much, and they have a very good relationship with King Yuan.

Shen Yafei and a few people came to Fukang Palace under the leadership of the palace maid.

"See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Shen Yafei followed the few people around him to kneel down and bow their heads.

"Get up." A vicissitudes of life and a loving voice came from above.

Shen Yafei and the others stood up with the maid's wrist, looked up in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a woman in her fifties and sixties with a wrinkled face but a very good face on the main seat, looking at them kindly.

"This is the second girl of the Shen family." Just when Shen Yafei could see God, the loving voice sounded again.

"Come, come to the front, and show the mourners." The Queen Mother kindly stretched out her right hand towards Shen Yafei.

Shen Yafei glanced at Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen nodded at her.

Shen Yafei slowly walked in front of the Queen Mother.

"Come here, sit." The Queen Mother patted the position next to her.

Shen Yafei sat down respectfully, and the Queen Mother took her hand, patted it lightly and said, "Okay, good!" This little girl is so handsome. As he spoke, he turned his head to Mrs. Shen, "It really looks like you and the Shen family, they are both good looks, I am afraid that the threshold of your family will be broken again, how many men will squeeze their heads for your girl!" Hehehe······"

Mrs. Shen's face was a little embarrassed, and she smiled stubbornly: "The Queen Mother has won the award, how can she be as good as you say." ”

"You girl is too modest, which child you hand over is not one in ten thousand. The daughter is talented and virtuous, and the boy is capable and responsible! They are all good examples for young girls and teenagers in the capital! The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"The mourning family still remembers that you were clever when you were young, so let's be so tall!" The Queen Mother and Shen Yafei bent down and gestured with their hands, "You will be begged for things by others, and Mo Lian's girl likes you the most." As she spoke, the Queen Mother had tears in her eyes.

The ladies and ladies present also bowed their heads in mourning.

Shen Yafei sat on the side in an orderly manner and listened to her quietly.

"Good boy, good boy!" The Queen Mother came back to her senses from her memories and said repeatedly, "It's the first time you have seen the mourning family when you return to Beijing, and the mourning family has not prepared any gifts for you." Then, he said to a grandmother beside him, "Mama Hui, go and bring the jewelry box I asked you to organize today!" ”

"Yes!" Mama Hui turned and went into the inner room, and when she came out, she had a box carved with delicate and beautiful azaleas.

walked up to the Queen Mother and opened the box: "Queen Mother, is this the box?" ”

"Ah, yes, yes, that's it." The Queen Mother was full of admiration for Mama Hui, waved her hand in the direction of Shen Yafei, motioned for her to bring it to Shen Yafei, and said to Shen Yafei gently: "Knowing that you are going to enter the palace today, the mourning family let them pick these out, and the mourning family only remembers that you liked these round things the most in the past, and I don't know if you still like them now?" ”

In the lilac sandalwood box, a bunch of beads glow in the daytime, the most eye-catching is the night pearl as white as milk, and the others are beads of various colors that are much smaller in size, including jadeite, agate, jade, the luster texture is high-quality, and the price is expensive.

The eyes of everyone in the room were wide open, and all of them were bright.

The Queen Mother is also too good to this second lady of the Shen family, how could she send such a valuable thing to her, these people re-examined Shen Yafei in their hearts. If the Queen Mother likes her, then no matter what her character is, as long as she can befriend her, she can be the Queen Mother. The ladies gave a glance to the young ladies beside them, and some of them nodded knowingly, and some of them put their whole hearts on the jewelry box, without blinking their eyes.

Seeing these things, Shen Yafei couldn't hide her excitement, nodded and said, "I like it, I like it!" ”

These things are what she has been away for many years, and they are rare, and it is fake to say that she is not impressed. However, the mood of seeing these things now is not the same as when I was a child, when I was a child, I just thought these things were beautiful, and now when I see them, I feel like seeing white flowers and silver!

Swallowing hard, a little hard to believe, he stammered: "This, all of this, are they all given, for me?" ”

The Queen Mother saw that she still had no resistance to these things as when she was a child, and laughed directly: "Yes, it's all for you, do you like it?" ”

"I like it!" Shen Yafei nodded again and again, reaching out to take the box.

Mrs. Shen felt that these things were too valuable and a little inappropriate, so she hurriedly stopped them: "Queen Mother, this is not appropriate!" ”

The Queen Mother didn't like her restraint very much, and pretended to be warm and angry: "What's inappropriate, the mourning family wants to send it, and the little girl likes it, that's appropriate." You're just too restrained. You don't have to think so much about it here in the mourning family, the mourning family likes to see the juniors happy the most, so the mourning family will be happy. ”

"Thank you Empress Dowager, I wish the Empress Dowager a blessing to the sky, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" Shen Yafei got up and knelt down.

"Okay, okay, your mouth is so sweet, hurry up." The Queen Mother laughed.

Shen Yafei got up, happily took the jewelry box from Mama Hui's hand, and hugged it directly in her arms.

As if she was afraid that someone else would rob her, the Queen Mother laughed even more when she saw it.

Shen Yaru was also a little surprised by the gift given by the Queen Mother, but when she remembered how much the Queen Mother favored her when Shen Yafei was a child, she didn't feel anything.

Lin Wanxin's heart is not as comfortable as Shen Yaru, although the Queen Mother has also given her a lot of gifts in recent years, but the sum up is not as valuable as the one given to Shen Yafei today. Moreover, although the Queen Mother usually treats her very kindly, she is not close to Shen Yafei's enthusiasm. What does this queen mother mean, is she going to slap her in the face in public? She felt that everyone present was looking at her with gloating eyes, those eyes seemed to say that you are just the adopted daughter of the Shen family, Shen Yafei is the serious young lady of the Shen family, and you are still not Shen Yafei.

Lin Wanxin clutched the handkerchief in her hand so hard that even her toes straightened, trying to keep herself calm and not show her anger on her face.

"Hahaha······" At this time, a bright laughter came from outside the hall, and a middle-aged man wearing a yellow dragon robe walked in from outside. She was followed by a bright woman of about thirty years old who was also dressed in yellow clothes and looked very well-maintained, and the front of her clothes was embroidered with a colorful phoenix bird with wings soaring into the clouds, showing her noble status.

The middle-aged man waved his hand to stop the ladies who were about to salute.

walked over and pulled the woman to sit down in the seat where Shen Yafei was sitting just now.

Looking at the Queen Mother, she smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is in good spirits today. Just now we heard the queen mother laughing outside, and the queen mother said to her son, what is so happy that let her son be happy? ”

The Queen Mother smiled at him, her eyes aimed at Shen Yafei on the side, and asked mysteriously, "Who do you guess this little girl is?" ”

The emperor looked at Shen Yafei, who was standing aside with the box in his arms, in fact, he noticed her as soon as he entered the door, and when he heard the Queen Mother ask, he knew her identity, but in order to please the Queen Mother, he still pretended not to know anything, and asked curiously: "Which mansion's daughter, why is it a little faceless?" ”

Shen Yafei didn't like others to look at her with this kind of scrutiny, and under the emperor's scrutiny, she had to pretend to bow her head weakly.

"Hahaha, the emperor, you don't know, she is the second girl of the Shen family, the little daughter-in-law of A-Ning when she was a child!" The Queen Mother happily explained to him.

"Oh!" The emperor's face was realized, "The difficulty feels a little familiar, it turns out to be General Shen's daughter!" This is still somewhat similar to General Shen. ”

"But no, I just told Mrs. Shen that this girl will be president, and she has picked the advantages of their husband and wife. Look at this little appearance, it will be even more beautiful when it is finished. At that time, the emperor, you will have some work! The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"What does this have to do with Erchen?" The emperor asked puzzled.

"When the time comes, you will not be allowed to give them a marriage!" The Queen Mother said.

"The queen mother is right, hahaha." The emperor pretended to have a headache.

"This is a gift from the queen mother?" The emperor noticed that the jewelry box in Shen Yafei's arms was somewhat familiar.

"Yes, this little girl, when she was little, she liked these round things. I asked people to clean up some of them, and I thought it would be different when I grew up, but I didn't expect ······." The Queen Mother covered her mouth and snickered, and looked at Shen Yafei narrowly, "She is still the same as when she was a child, she is excited when she sees these things." Hehehe"

"yes, I remember that too. When she was a child, she loved to go to the Lian'er Palace to collect these beads. A-Ning will also secretly help her hide some, and when she leaves the palace, she will secretly take them out and give them to her. That's why she told us at that time that she would marry us Aning when she grew up. The emperor said with a smile.

"Hahaha, yes!" The Queen Mother laughed.

Shen Yafei was told by the two of them about her childhood in public, and she felt that she was thick-skinned when she heard it. Although those memories are already from the previous life, I will still be a little embarrassed in my heart, my face is blushing, and I bow my head shyly.

"Yes, the concubine also remembers." The queen also recalled the scene many years ago, and her eyes were full of nostalgia, "Sister Lian's favorite is this little girl, and she also promised to marry her and A-Ning when the girl grows up." The queen's eyes turned red as she spoke, "But, who knows, she has a beautiful opportunity to see the Shen family girl grow up." ”

As soon as the words fell, the queen's tears poured out like a flood without an embankment.

After listening to the queen's words, the emperor's face was also full of nostalgia, and he held the queen's hand distressedly, "After so many years, she thinks she doesn't want to see us shed tears for her." ”

"yes." The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sniffed her nose and said, "Fortunately, the crown prince and A-Ning have also grown up healthy." That's right. The queen then turned to Shen Yafei, "This palace heard that you came back today, and I have prepared a gift for you, and I will have someone send it directly to your house tomorrow." ”

Shen Yafei immediately knelt down and thanked him. Seeing that the harvest of the attack is really not small, as long as she kneels, she will have something to take, so she doesn't mind if they always talk about her previous troubles. In this way, she will be more at ease when she puts away the gifts, reminisce, remember a little more, and the emperor will have to express it a little!

Shen Yafei was happy, but Lin Wanxin felt uncomfortable. Hearing Shen Yafei on their left and King Ning on their right, they didn't take her, King Ning's current crush, in their eyes at all.

Lin Wanxin tried her best to maintain the composure on her face, and the jealousy and hatred in her heart were already churning like a huge wave.

The queen asked Shen Yafei to get up, smiled and said, "By the way, A-Ning is also here today, you shouldn't have seen it, right?" When you left the capital, A-Ning was not in Beijing, and when you returned to Beijing, you found that you were gone, as if you were crazy, crying and crying to find you. As he spoke, he turned his head to look in the direction of the temple gate and beckoned, "A-Ning, come here, come and meet your sister Fei'er!" ”

Only then did Shen Yafei find that there were several noble sons standing next to the palace gate, the crown prince, King Ning, King Yuan, King Lang, and Prince Xu. The royal man is outstanding, handsome, outstanding and majestic posture, noble temperament, and the royal disciples who have been specially dressed up today make the women present unable to take their eyes off.

King Ning was wearing a dark long robe, and there was a silver wolf embroidered on his chest, which made him a little more arrogant and arrogant, and it looked like a general who was swinging a knife in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the battlefield, which made people feel awe!

Today is King Ning's celebration banquet, and this kind of costume is very suitable for the atmosphere!

As soon as King Ning entered the door, he noticed the strange atmosphere in the hall, and also saw the patience on Lin Wanxin's face. Although the Queen Mother and the Emperor and Queen Mother thought of their mother after seeing Shen Yafei, they sighed, but he didn't want to see Xin'er wronged.

King Ning suddenly felt extremely bored with Shen Yafei who caused today's incident, although he liked her very much when he was a child, but that was more than ten years ago, and now he also has someone he cares about, and he doesn't want to have any unclear relationship with her anymore. It's because of her appearance that everyone ties the two of them together every time, making Xin'er suffer a lot of grievances, and he is very disgusted with her now!

Walking from the front hall of the Ning Dynasty, he didn't give Shen Yafei a trace of eyes, and knelt down directly in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor and Empress. Then, he got up and walked back, skipped Shen Yafei directly, stopped in front of Lin Wanxin, gently took her hand, pulled her to the three of them, and knelt down with her again.

"Grandmother, Father, Mother!" The face is extremely serious.

The three of them didn't understand for a while, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

King Ning turned his head at this time, looked at Lin Wanxin tenderly, his cold face also softened, his eyes were indelible tenderness and comfort, and he said gently: "Erchen has already had a person who belongs to his heart, and this person is Lin Wanxin beside me!" The sons are devoted to her, and there will be no change in the future. Please ask the emperor's grandmother, father, and mother to testify for their sons here, and there will only be Lin Wanxin as a woman from now on. Looking at the emperor firmly, "The son also wants to ask the father and the emperor to marry the son!" ”

Lin Wanxin was very moved when she heard her sweetheart's straightforward confession in front of everyone, and looked at him excitedly, while King Ning gave her a comforting look and squeezed her hand soothingly. If it weren't for the presence of so many people, Lin Wanxin would have wanted to jump directly into her sweetheart's arms and hug him tightly!

The emperor was dissatisfied with King Ning's ignorance, he had promised to marry the two of them a long time ago, but that was conditional, and now the conditions have not been met. But what does it mean that he is begging again in front of the people now? Didn't they just joke a few times about him and Shen Yafei when they were children, so they couldn't see her being wronged? This is not married, but it has been protected, and it is directly choked with them!

The emperor narrowed his eyes and directly refused, "I, I have long said that I will give you a marriage, but now is not the time!" ”

The queen put her hand on the back of the emperor's hand and comforted him. She didn't expect this King Ning to react like this, just ignoring what she had just said. It seems that this Lin Wanxin's position in his mind is too important, and he can't even stand the slightest grievance from her.

For King Ning's cold and cruel treatment, Shen Yafei trembled, and her nails sank deep into the palm of her hand. This person is the person she has been obsessed with all her life and can't get, she has a gentle and affectionate side, but she has never been to her, and it is the same now, she is still so cruel to her like in her previous life, and he doesn't show her mercy at all.

Although she has never thought about him since she woke up in this life, she was so crazy and persistent with him in her previous life, even if he did all the cruel things in the world to her, she still has the most beautiful fantasies about him, and how can the person who was not stripped from her brain until she died so easily forget it! Sadness surged into her heart, and a sad wry smile bloomed at the corner of Shen Yafei's mouth.

She herself didn't understand why she was so obsessed with him in her previous life, she had to be, maybe it was because the people around her kept instilling his information in her ears; Maybe he was the only good memory she had before she left Beijing in her previous life, and the only hope she wanted to grasp after she left Beijing!

However, none of this matters, no matter what happened in the previous life, it was all in the past. Love, she doesn't want to touch it again, and family affection won't look forward to it. This will make it a lot less painful. Besides, now that she has important people around her, people who have always been good to her and will be good to her in life, they have spent many, many years of good things between them, and she will no longer be obsessed with her previous emotions. Besides, those are already memories of her previous life, and it has been too long, so she didn't remember it when she was in Huancheng.

In this life, she will no longer be instigated and used in vain like in her previous life, and finally end up with a tragic death and no one to collect the body. Although this life is not easy, she has already prepared for these things, and with countermeasures, no matter what happens in the future, she will protect herself. In her previous life, she didn't enjoy the fun of being a human being when she came to this world, and she wouldn't live in vain once in this life.

This time, her life and life are in her own hands, and no one can take them away! So, those demons, monsters, snakes, insects, rats and ants, just come! I'm not afraid!
