"You still have knowledge in the past two days, so prepare well." Shen Yafei said to them solemnly.

"Yes!" Zhiyu and Dabao straightened up and replied.

The grief-stricken Lin Wanxin was escorted by King Ning and returned to the Garden.

"Miss!" Green opinion Lin Wanxin's expression was worse than when she first went out, and she couldn't help but worry.

"Greenery." Lin Wanxin threw herself into her maid's arms and cried bitterly, and all the emotions she had endured were released at once. The hand was still firmly grasping Green's arm, and her pain was clearly passed to Green. Lu Yi exclaimed in pain and hugged Lin Wanxin's trembling body.

"Xin'er." King Ning was also very sad to see Lin Wanxin's sad appearance, he knew that Lin Wanxin's unwillingness and strong patience, compared to the fact that she was just a girl's family, she must have been very uncomfortable when she witnessed the death of her cronies around her, but the culprit was still at large. She is very sensible and does not make a big noise, and would rather bear it by herself than let her parents embarrass him. Seeing Lin Wanxin like this, King Ning cherished this good girl even more. I couldn't help but resentful of Shen Yafei in my heart.

"You still have something, you go. I'm fine. Lin Wanxin twisted her head to the side to avoid King Ning's hand that was about to touch her head first, trying to keep her voice calm.

"Xin'er~" King Ning knew that Lin Wanxin was somewhat resentful of him at the moment, and screamed anxiously.

Lin Wanxin still didn't look back at him, because she really didn't want to see him at this time.

"Then I'll go back first, you have a good rest, don't think too much. I'll take care of today's matter, and I'll definitely get justice for you. King Ning reluctantly retreated.

After King Ning left, Lin Wanxin retreated from Luyi's arms, with tears still on her face.

"Miss, how is the second miss?" Green asked curiously.

"She." Lin Wanxin said hatefully, "She is very good, she will enter the palace in two days to accompany the queen mother." ”

"Why?" Green screamed dissatisfied, "Doesn't this matter have anything to do with her?" ”

"Who said it has nothing to do with it, the evidence is conclusive, she just doesn't admit it." Lin Wanxin's eyes overflowed with tears again, "Daddy originally wanted to lock her up in the firewood room, but I didn't expect that before Daddy gave the order, the princess in the Queen Mother's palace came in, and it was rumored that the Queen Mother would invite her to enter the palace in two days." In this case, it is not easy for her father to punish her, if she makes something wrong before entering the palace, her father has no way to explain to the queen mother. So let her escape like that. ”

"Hongyan and Huangli are dead, doesn't she have to pay the price?" Green said resentfully.

"yes." Lin Wanxin's voice was hoarse, "The Queen Mother also recruited her into the palace, I don't understand what is good about her." Ruthless, immoral and incompetent, she can't even write a word, why do so many people like her. As soon as she returned to Beijing, the queen mother and the queen rewarded her, and the emperor was also kind to her. also said that she was virtuous, dignified and generous, and loved her parents, so she was invited to the palace to accompany the queen mother. Is this something else that can't be made? ”

The more Lin Wanxin talked, the more unwilling she became, she knew that the emperor and the queen mother had liked Shen Yafei since she was a child, but she didn't expect her to be away from Beijing for so long, and they were still so good to Shen Yafei after she came back. She doesn't understand why? She knows that the emperor and the queen mother don't hate her, but they are never close to her. Their dislike should be because of King Ning's relationship, otherwise how could the emperor refuse when King Ning was asking to marry her. In the end, King Ning himself proposed to pacify the southern border in exchange, and the emperor reluctantly agreed. Could it be that now the emperor still wants to fulfill Queen Yan's promise and give Shen Yafei a marriage to King Ning?

Luyi's heart was just as resentful as Lin Wanxin.

In the next two days before entering the palace, Zhiyu ran out all day, and Ali was nowhere to be seen. The Summer Palace was unusually quiet and peaceful, as if there were only two people left, Shen Yafei and Dabao, and Shen Yafei knew that this was the prelude to a storm. Every time, after Shen Yafei finished Mama Wei's class, she sat under the ginkgo tree, and the summer sun hit her face warmly. Shen Yafei closed her eyes and took a deep breath, these two days were probably her last time in the Summer Palace.

This is the place she has been staying for the longest in so many years, and it is also the home she once had in her heart. It's really reluctant to leave. After leaving, she should never set foot again in her life, I wonder what will become of this place in the future? Shen Mansion is so big that it will definitely not be inhabited anymore, maybe it will be abandoned like her, right?

The time to enter the palace came in a blink of an eye, and Shen Yafei changed into the palace and sent palace clothes. Every cut of the palace costume is very end-to-end, and after Shen Yafei wears it, the whole person is a little more solemn and mature. Before Shen Yafei finished breakfast, the steward Ma asked someone to spread the news, saying that the carriage from the palace was already waiting outside the door.

Before Shen Yafei went out, Zhiyu held her hand tightly and didn't speak, while Dabao stood silently behind Zhiyu and looked at Shen Yafei with blank eyes, the worry on the faces of the two was obvious, "Miss? Zhiyu's voice trembled a little.

Shen Yafei smiled softly at them, her mouth moved, and she said silently: "Don't worry! "Put your hand on the sleeve where the pills were stored.

Zhiyu and Dabao squeezed out an ugly smile to Shen Yafei, they naturally wouldn't worry about Miss's body, but what she was worried about was Ali's conspiracy. There is only one young lady in the palace, and there is no one in them, so they can't help if something happens, and the young lady has to deal with everything alone. Although they knew that Miss Yi's intelligence would definitely be able to deal with it, there were many imperial nobles in the palace, and it might not be human intelligence to deal with it at that time. It's just a lonely battle, and there is a white-eyed wolf by his side, and it's false to say that he is not worried. However, they all knew what Miss meant, and Miss said that this time when she entered the palace, she would definitely be more auspicious, and Miss would not have the extra ability to keep the people around her, so it was not easy for them to force Miss to enter the palace. They also knew that the young lady would escape this time, and there was no danger to her life, but they were afraid that they would have to get out of danger after shedding their skin.

"Remember what I said, don't stay here that day, you must find a way to get out, even if you go out one night earlier." Shen Yafei whispered in their ears.

"Hmm!" Both of them nodded solemnly at once.

Shen Yafei took Ali out of the door, and waiting in front of the carriage at the door was Mama Hui, who had been in contact with Shen Yafei several times before entering the palace, and was also the most trusted mama of the Queen Mother. This queen mother really gave her a lot of face.

There are still two people standing next to Mama Hui, it is really Shen Yafei's parents, General Shen and Mrs. Shen, it seems that when I heard that Mama Hui was here, I came out to greet her.

"Mama Hui, father, mother. Good morning! Shen Yafei bowed generously to the three of them.

Seeing her elegant and decent manners, Mama Hui nodded with satisfaction, "Second Miss Shen, morning!" The old slave is waiting for Miss Shen Er in the car! General Shen and Mrs. Shen retired from the service. ”

After Mama Hui finished speaking, she turned around and got into the carriage, leaving the space to the people of the Shen family. She knew that General Shen and Mrs. Shen must have something to tell Shen Yafei, so she left with interest.

"Fei'er, pay attention when entering the palace, restrain your temperament, don't rely on your own temperament for everything." Mrs. Shen told Shen Yafei that it was really inappropriate to enter the palace with her temperament, and it could cause a catastrophe at any time. However, seeing that the maids she brought with her were not the two she brought back from Huancheng, Mrs. Shen's heart was half relieved.

"Don't get into trouble again." General Shen looked at Shen Yafei warily. Lin Wanxin's matter, he hasn't settled accounts with her yet, don't get into trouble again. It is not small to cause trouble in the palace, and it will cause trouble to Shen Fude at any time.

"Yes." Shen Yafei replied with low eyebrows.

When General Shen and Mrs. Shen saw her tepid appearance, they didn't know if she really listened. They wanted to say more, but when they saw her like this, they didn't want to say any more. Wave at her and signal for her to go.

Shen Yafei bowed deeply to the two, and said softly when she got up again, "Goodbye!" ”

The voice was like the summer wind, so light that people could hardly notice it, and General Shen suddenly looked up, and when he saw her face as usual, he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Shen Yafei entered the carriage, and Mama Hui smiled and nodded when she saw her, and then closed her eyes and leaned on the carriage. Shen Yafei sat down on her lower right, closed her eyes like Mama Hui, and leaned on the carriage. At the moment, her heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, because she didn't know what kind of trap Ali had prepared for her, and whether she could get out of this pile of calculations smoothly. I don't know if she can continue to live in the capital after leaving the Shen Mansion. Because she will not be able to leave the capital in the near future, because her enemy is still alive and well.

"Miss has arrived." Shen Yafei fell asleep thinking about it, and Ali's voice came from her ears, waking her up. Turning his head, Mama Hui was no longer in the car, and it seemed that she got out of the car first.

Shen Yafei also got out of the car with Ali's support. In front of them was the familiar palace gate of Fukang Palace, and Mama Hui was waiting for her with a smile while standing on the side, "Miss Shen Er, please!" ”

As he spoke, he led Shen Yafei in front.

The road is still the same road that Shen Yafei entered the palace last time, but the delicacy on the road has taken on a new look. Yes, spring has passed, and now it's summer.

Mama Hui led Shen Yafei into the front hall, and when she entered the door, she saw the Queen Mother sitting on the couch eating breakfast.

"Queen Mother, Second Miss Shen has arrived." Mama Hui walked over, bent down and whispered in the Queen Mother's ear.

The Queen Mother raised her head when she heard this, Shen Yafei untied the cloak on her body and handed it to Ali, walked to the middle and knelt down, "The courtiers knock on the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

"Hehehe. Get up. The Queen Mother smiled at Shen Yafei and asked, "Fei'er girl, have you had breakfast?" ”

"Empress Dowager Xie, the courtiers have used it." Shen Yafei stood up with Ali's wrist and stood aside respectfully.

When the Queen Mother saw her standing aside, she beckoned to her lovingly: "Come, come here." ”

Shen Yafei walked over as she said, and the Queen Mother pointed to the position opposite her and said, "Sit there!" Although the face is still peaceful and gentle, the tone is fierce and strong, and it cannot be refused.

Shen Yafei glanced at Mama Hui, who nodded to him, and Shen Yafei sat down, her head lowered, her hands hanging stiffly on her thighs, and her face was uneasy.

The Queen Mother saw Shen Yafei's hands crossed nervously and trembling slightly, and the corners of her mouth showed a satisfied smile without leaving a trace.

"Fei'er girl, the mourning family didn't ask your opinion, so they recruited you into the palace to accompany the mourning family, you won't be unhappy, right?" After the Queen Mother drank the last mouthful of bird's nest porridge, Mama Hui came over and took the empty bowl, and the Queen Mother pinched the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said slowly.

"No, it won't." Shen Yafei was shocked and speechless, looked at the Queen Mother in panic, lowered her head again, and explained anxiously, "No, that, it is an honor for a courtier to be able to enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, thank you for the Queen Mother's love." ”

The Queen Mother saw that Shen Yafei was like a frightened bird, her eyes were full of a thick smile, and she seemed to be very satisfied with Shen Yafei's answer, "You don't have to be so nervous, you just call Grandma Mourning like when you were a child." ”

Shen Yafei smiled embarrassedly and didn't respond. When I was a child, I didn't know how to dare to overstep the rules, but now that I'm older, how can Shen Yafei still have the courage to call the queen mother like this, she is very sorry for her life.

"Ugh." The Queen Mother sighed, Shen Yafei raised her heart and listened carefully, and the Queen Mother sighed, "The Mourning family is old, and those sons and grandchildren have all gone out of the palace to live." On weekdays, they are busy going in and out, and they don't have time to accompany the old man of the mourning family, and they don't know that the mourning family will miss them. I'm afraid that I dislike the mourning family as an old thing, and I don't want to come to accompany the mourning family. Fei'er girl, don't you say? ”

Shen Yafei lowered her head and didn't know how to answer, you said your own, what are you doing with me, Shen Yafei was speechless, moved her mouth, and closed it again, because she knew that no matter what she said, it was not appropriate. It's safer to stay stupid.

When the Queen Mother saw that Shen Yafei was silent, she knew that she didn't dare to answer, and the smile in her eyes deepened, "The mourning family knows that you like King Ning." ”

Shen Yafei's cheeks were slightly red after hearing this, and her fingers picked at her skirt uneasily.

"However, you know that the person in King Ning's heart now is your family's Lin Wanxin girl. You, alas, are a pity. I used to think that you would be together in the future, but I didn't expect ······" The Queen Mother sighed, stopped her desire to talk and stopped, and persuaded Shen Yafei, "Actually, there are still many good men in the capital. You pick whatever you like, which one you like, and the mourning family will help you ask. ”

The attitude of the face is the love of an old grandmother for her granddaughter, Shen Yafei is terrified, "I, there is no ······"

The Queen Mother thought she was embarrassed, and continued: "You just returned to Beijing, you should be unfamiliar with the capital. The mourning family will introduce to you what good sons and daughters can choose from in this capital. Then, Chao Hui said, "Go, bring me the portrait that the mourning family asked you to prepare a few days ago." ”

Shen Yafei was surprised, this queen mother is going to give her a kiss! What kind of wind is it smoking? Why are so many people interested in her family affairs recently, so they can't see her in the Shen Mansion?

Mama Hui put the portrait on the coffee table between the two, Shen Yafei blushed, raised her eyes and looked over, the first one on it was Xu Shizi, and said, "Queen Mother, this ······"

What exactly does this Queen Mother mean? The Queen Mother knew that she was a talented and virtuous woman, and she heard that Xu Shizi was her favorite grandson, so why did the Queen Mother choose the portrait of Xu Shizi for her? She just gave her the laughing stock of the capital to her favorite grandson as her daughter-in-law?

"How? Axu looks good, right? The Queen Mother saw Shen Yafei's suddenly red cheeks and asked with a smile.

Shen Yafei nodded, it was indeed good. Xu Shizi himself inherited the good appearance of the Hua family, if he wasn't too careless and angry, so that everyone ignored his appearance, otherwise he would be a good son sought after by many girls in Beijing.

The portrait of Xu Shizi, wearing a long white dress, is tall and handsome, with clear contours, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, holding an ink pen, his demeanor is extremely serious, his face is full of righteousness, and he has no cynical appearance in the past. This is completely different from the Xu Shizi that people usually see, if they are seen by the ladies in Beijing, I am afraid that many people's hearts will fall.

But if you look closely, you can see that although his eyes are very upright, they have no aura. Shen Yafei frowned slightly, this painting was obviously made by the painter himself with his imagination, and now she somewhat understood what the Queen Mother meant.

Seeing Shen Yafei staring at the portrait and not speaking, the Queen Mother thought that she was stunned, nodded silently, and said to Shen Yafei with a smile: "Don't look at Ah Xu's usual unkemptness, in fact, he is serious about doing things." This is how he usually does things seriously, which is completely different from what he usually does outside. Don't listen to the rumors outside, Axu is not what they say he is. Have you heard of Xian Xiang Lou? It was the best restaurant in the capital, and in fact, the restaurant was opened by Ah Xu and his friends. Isn't it reliable, you say? ”

"Hmm." Shen Yafei said calmly, "Xu Shizi is naturally excellent. It's just that the courtiers are not worthy of him. ”

"Nonsense, why don't you deserve it? Your father is General Shen, and he is also the person who will inherit the title of the Shen family in the future, you are your father's daughter-in-law, a serious daughter of the Houmen, and her identity is also extremely noble. It's a good match for Axu. The Queen Mother said.

"However, my reputation is not good." Shen Yafei said.

"Fame or something, the mourning family has never believed in it. The mourning family believes what they see, and the mourning family believes that you are a good child. Don't listen to the rumors outside, those people just love to chew their tongues. The Queen Mother held Shen Yafei's hand and said sincerely.

"You can't look down on Axu, do you?" The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and asked again.

"No, no." Shen Yafei waved her hand again and again.

"Flutter" The Queen Mother covered her mouth and snickered, "The mourning family just asked you to see their portraits, and they didn't want you to get married, what are you doing in such a panic." Don't worry, if you don't want to, the mourning family will not force you. ”

Facing the gloomy uncertainty of the Queen Mother, Shen Yafei's forehead broke out in cold sweat.

"This is the son-in-law of He Shengren He Shangshu, this is the son of General Yang Zifeng Yang, and this is ······" The Queen Mother enthusiastically introduced the men in the portrait to Shen Yafei one by one. Each of them is either rich or expensive, but her reputation in the capital is notorious, and she has a complete fight. Looking at the meaning of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's favorite is still Xu Shizi, because every time the Queen Mother introduces a man, she has to talk about the advantages of Xu Shizi again, which is much more than introducing those men.

Shen Yafei is strange, although Xu Shizi has a bad reputation, he is the nephew of the current emperor, and he is the only son of the prince of Li, coupled with the favor of the queen mother, many famous nobles in the capital want to marry their daughters to Xu Shizi in order to climb the emperor and the queen mother, and even give it to him for nothing. What kind of good girl does Xu Shizi want to choose, why bother looking for a woman with a bad reputation? Is the Queen Mother going to block Xu Shizi, or is she trying to find a strong backing for him?
