Chapter 60: Seeing the Chang'an Flowers in One Day (3)
Not far from the center of the lively banquet, in the corridor of some hidden gardens, stood a beautiful woman in red, and the woman watched from a distance as the crowd of people began the banquet noisily.
She naturally saw the dazzling Shen Weizhen at a glance, and the woman stood and watched for a while, the corners of her lips hooked up with a mocking arc, "Beauty is indeed beautiful, but it's a pity, it's the same as everyone else, it's really boring." β
The woman walked along the corridor gracefully, and her steps were full of charms that others could not learn.4
In the room of the Sheng Mansion lay a girl with red cheeks, her eyes closed, and a handkerchief on her forehead.
Aunt Cui Yu, who went out of the palace with Shen Weizhen to serve, stood in front of the basin and handed over the handkerchief, wrung it out to Shen Weizhen's side, and gently wiped her flushed face.
Shen Weizhen opened his eyes, his voice was a little hoarse, "What about Danko?" β
"She went to dinner, but she didn't expect the girl to leave the table so quickly, and she would come over after a while." Cui Yu lowered his voice.
Shen Weizhen let out an "um" and closed his eyes again.
Cui Yu saw that her cheeks were very red, and she was a little worried, "Is the girl unwell?" After a while, I brought the decanting soup and drank it. β
"It's okay, don't worry about it."
Shen Weizhen was poured a few glasses of peach blossom brew by a group of noble girls during the banquet, and the wine specially given to his daughter's family was not intoxicating, but Shen Weizhen's reaction was more obvious.
And she just looked badly drunk, but in fact she did feel okay, not drunk.
Cui Yu wiped it lightly, covered Shen Weizhen with a blanket, and went out to wait, not to disturb her to rest.
After a while, the little maid of Shengfu brought a bowl of decanting soup, and Cui Yu took it and entered the house. But when she saw Shen Weizhen sleeping, she didn't want to wake her up, so she just put the sobering soup in the food box and warmed it, and went out to wait.
In the Shengfu Garden, the banquet is still the same, the staggered plots, the flowers are beautiful, and it is not lively.
On the men's side, Su Poan was eating the delicacies casually, and a son at the same table as him was talking with great interest.
"After eating for a while, I will definitely arrange other entertainment, and then I can see all the young ladies. That day, I just watched the demeanor of Shen Wu from a distance, and this time I was finally able to see it closely......"
The crowd agreed.
When Su Bo'an heard everyone say this, he changed his indifference, frowned, and scolded: "No, what do you see?" Haven't you seen a beauty? β
At the banquet, he was still talking about how good-looking Shen Wu girl was, and Su Bo'an suddenly said coldly and scared everyone.
Shen Casian, who was next to Su Bo'an, also held chopsticks and looked at him in some surprise.
The boy who had just spoken came back to his senses and said with a smile: "An Shizi, you haven't seen the appearance of Shen Fifth Girl, you promise to be ...... after seeing it once."
He said as if he realized that An Shizi was also there at the banquet of the Queen Mother last time, so he looked at Su Bo'an with some doubts, why did An Shizi look a little bad?
Su Bo'an's voice was slightly cold: "It's not promising, look at you like that, can you look at other people's noble girls casually?" β
"You just can't just look at it, so isn't this a good opportunity?" The other party's tone was a little aggrieved, and he didn't know why Su Bo'an stopped them.
Shi Ziye's tone was not good: "Who dares to look at it?" β
"An Shizi, everyone has a love for beauty, let's go see what's wrong?"
The prince was stunned.
Shi Ziye's face was slightly gloomy, "Isn't it just a little girl?" What's there to see? She...... Is it good-looking? β
The atmosphere suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and Shen Casian, who was next to Su Bo'an, almost choked, hurriedly swallowed the wine he had just drunk in his mouth, and looked at Su Po'an with a ghostly expression.
The others, like others, looked at Su Poan as if they had seen a ghost.
The prince let them watch.
Everyone complained frantically in their hearts, what kind of wind did the prince smoke this time? His thoughts are strange! And doesn't he hate to be compared to a woman by others?
But looking at the face of the prince, everyone seemed to be unable to refute it.
Although Shi Ziye's face is a little bad, he has not yet reached the crown, his hair is scattered, and his indistinguishable face is indeed very good-looking.
Everyone exchanged glances, is the prince jealous that a little girl looks better than him?
Everyone feels as if they know the reason why Shizi Ye has always hated others comparing his face with women - jealous that others are better than him?
Shen Cianming said with a slight tremble: "Bo'an, did you take the wrong medicine today?" β
Su Bo'an's face sank even more, what did he say just now? How did the group react?
"Second child, do you want to die?"
Shen Cianming breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he would threaten him, he didn't take the wrong medicine. So what did he say there?
"Keep eating, keep eating, keep eating......"
Shen Cianming smiled awkwardly and played a round game.
Everyone was extremely cooperative, and there was no longer the topic just now.
Sheng Mansion Room.
The faint woody fragrance lingered, Shen Weizhen opened his eyes from a nap, and the red marks on his face receded.
After waking up, Shen Weizhen got up and leaned on the cushion and looked at the furnishings of the guest room.
She was the only one in the room, it was indeed quiet, but it was also quiet outside, Shen Weizhen was a little strange, "Aunt Cui? DancΓ΄me? β
No one answered, Shen Weizhen frowned, lifted the blanket and put on his shoes.
Regardless of the grooming, he opened the door, and the small courtyard was quiet, and there was no one.
What's going on?
She remembered that she came to the guest room drunk and Aunt Cui came with her, why is there no one now?
Shen Weizhen went back to the house and stood in front of the mirror to get his sideburns cut, but he wasn't in a hurry. She shouldn't have slept for long, Dankou is estimated to be still eating, and Aunt Cui may have seen her sleep to find something.
It shouldn't be that someone wants to be unfavorable to her, after all, she has just come out, she hasn't offended anyone except Shen San these days, and the Empress Dowager Shen is still obviously showing her love for her, no one will be stupid enough to do it to her under the noses of the Empress Dowager or even the Sheng family.
Thinking about it, she suddenly laughed, what was she thinking? When did you become so suspicious?
The girl rubbed her forehead, intending to breathe in the courtyard, just as they all thought she was drunk and avoided the crowd.
The garden of the Sheng Mansion is in the center of the house, and the guest room is in the northwest corner of the house, which is a relatively remote place, and there are so many guests here today, and the maids and women all go to the garden to serve.
The courtyard of the guest room is really small, and I can see it when I stand at the door, and there is really nothing to see.
At this moment, no one on the side was looking at her, and this side was so remote, no one was restraining her, Shen Weizhen wanted to open the door and walk around.
He hesitated a little when he put his hand on the courtyard door, but finally opened the door.
Anyway, it's just walking around the guest room, Aunt Cui and they must have seen it at a glance when they came back, it's nothing, right?
The road outside the room is quiet, and the trees planted on the road have begun to glow fresh green on a spring day in March.
The leaves of the trees are shining in the sun, and they are extremely vivid in color, just looking at it makes people's mood much better.
Looking into the distance, the sun is warm and the rockery is craggy. There is a conspicuous red under the rockery that is about two people high.
Well?
Shen Weizhen squinted, it was a woman standing under the rockery, because her back was facing her, so she couldn't see her face.
It should also be a guest, I thought about it in my heart, but I didn't see a woman wearing such a bright red today.
It's true, not even among Shen San's little sisters, who is she?
Shen Weizhen walked back, no matter who it was, she didn't plan to meet him.
After a few steps, he walked back to the courtyard gate, and Shen Weizhen looked in the direction of the woman in red before pushing the door.
The woman seemed to have a feeling, and just as Shen Weizhen was about to go in, she also turned her head, and the eyes of the two met at once.
Shen Weizhen was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to turn back, but with the attitude that more things are better than less, Shen Weizhen planned to pretend that he didn't see her and went straight to the house.
The other party seemed to be stunned for a moment, but the next second he smiled, and at the same time beckoned to Shen Weizhen and motioned for her to come over.
Shen Weizhen watched her movements, tilted his head to look at her, and weighed the pros and cons in his heart.
The other party saw her standing still and pulled out a mocking smile. This is the woman who watched the crowd in the cloister during the feast.
The woman withdrew her gaze, intending to ignore Shen Weizhen again.
