Chapter 65: Past and Present Lives
"If it weren't for the emperor's threat to me with his life, do you think I would be willing to marry you for this shame?"
In her previous life, the pain of losing her child hit her again with the torrent of memories.
Xie Shiyun leaned on the carriage weakly, her eyes were empty and completely lost the arrogance she had just now towards Gu Mianmian, "Are you lying, Shen Sijun, how could a person like Xie Yuan be willing to threaten Gu Mianmian's life, what do you think, you can even tell this kind of lie." ”
"I'm so unbearable, so unbearable for you."
After a long time, the palace arrived, and Shen Wenwen walked to her carriage and called her softly, but found that there was no response in the carriage. He frowned, walked up and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and found Xie Shiyun asleep in the carriage.
"Whew, I thought something was wrong."
Shen Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was extremely gentle, he leaned over and picked up Xie Shiyun, and slowly walked off the carriage. Xie Shiyun muttered a few times in his arms, turned sideways and suddenly opened his eyes.
"I—you?"
Seeing that she was awake, Shen Wenwen lowered his head and said with a smile, "You are awake, I thought I needed to carry you back to Changle Palace." ”
Xie Shiyun struggled to get Shen Wenwen to let her down, but fortunately, there was no one in front of the palace gate, otherwise it would be easy to be gossiped about. Shen Wenwen was a little reluctant to put her down, still reminiscing about the nephrite jade in his arms.
Xie Shiyun walked to the palace gate, showed his waist card, and said goodbye to Shen Wenwen, "Thank you Shen Dudu for taking me on a tour today." ”
"Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't need to be polite." Shen Wenwen took out a large bag of things wrapped in oiled paper from the carriage and handed it to Xie Shiyun, "Her Royal Highness the princess's snacks have been forgotten in the car." ”
"Shen Dudu didn't remind me that I had forgotten, so Shen Dudu walked slowly."
"Slightly Shen watched Her Royal Highness enter the palace and leave."
Shen Wenwen stood beside the carriage with a smile, Xie Shiyun walked into the palace gate, the old palace gate slowly closed, and in the gradually shrinking gap, Xie Shiyun's back became farther and farther away.
"Bang."
The palace gate was completely closed, and the light in Shen Wenwen's eyes dimmed at that moment, and he turned around and got into the carriage.
"Go home."
When I returned to Changle Palace, it was already afternoon, and the humidity brought by the summer rain seemed to have never come, and the clouds in the sky had also taken off their dusty robes and became white and flawless. In the bright light, everything in the palace seemed to be shining.
"Sixi, divide these snacks, remember that Mama Wu also sent one there, she likes sweets the most."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xie Shiyun specially bought a lot of them, just to come back and share food with the palace maids. There was a paper bag that caught her attention, it was given to her by the shopkeeper before leaving, and when she opened it, she found that it was a sugar gourd that had been skewed, and one by one it was full of syrup.
Take out one and look at it in the sun, it is bright red and translucent, so that people can feel its sweetness and sourness before they eat it in their mouths. She didn't eat the one that Shen Sijun gave her before, but this time she took one and put it in her mouth.
"It's the original taste."
Without the bitterness of the decoction in the previous life, the acidity of the hawthorn and the sweetness of the rock sugar are even worse than before. However, Xie Shiyun did not touch it again, but asked people to send it to Qingrong Pavilion.
"Feiyu, how are you feeling?"
Xie Shiyun pushed open Fei Yu's door, Fei Yu was still lying on the bed, and he didn't know if he was asleep. Fei Yu heard the movement, sat up and looked at her, "Your Highness is back, I'm already well, it's not a big problem." ”
Xie Shiyun sat on the edge of the bed, touched Feiyu's forehead with her hand, and was relieved to find that it was indeed not as hot as before. She happily told Fei Yu where she had been and what interesting things she had found.
Fei Yu sat on the bed and listened, this princess had really been in the palace for too many years, but the lives of these ordinary people made her so happy and novel.
"When I've settled everything, I'll travel around, go north and south, take in all the beautiful scenery, and live a free life."
Xie Shiyun imagined what the future would look like, which made Fei Yu smile. She is also looking forward to the day when Xie Shiyun can get out of the whirlpool of power in the palace and live her own life.
In the evening, the glow of the sun in the west accompanied the sunset to bloom the last glory of the day, Xie Shiyun watched Xiaolan and Rong Yue in the courtyard sweeping the floor with laughter and laughter, and Seventeen was watering the flowers one by one. Just when Xie Shiyun was standing in the corridor blowing the evening breeze, a palace maid came over and bowed in front of her, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the queen is invited." ”
Xie Shiyun was stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to have been to Fengyi Palace for a long time, nodded and called Sixi to follow the palace maid out of Changle Palace. Xie Shiyun reduced the number of times she went to see her because she was still suspicious of the queen, and always refused to go to dinner on the grounds that she was learning female red piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the palace.
"Queen Mother, Princess Anchen has arrived."
The queen walked out of the inner room, and for some reason she felt that the queen's complexion was a little better than before. Thinking of what Fei Yu's friend said about the Gu in the medicine, Xie Shiyun remembered a kind of Gu that he had seen in medical books and was used as a method of treatment-Xiangsheng Gu. In fact, there is no way to cure the disease at all, it is just to share the lifespan of two people. Most of the time, one party is approaching due to illness, and the other party is planted with this Gu, so that the seriously ill can continue to live.
The healthy party will also be in much worse physical condition, and when one party dies, the other party will also follow.
"Yun'er, Xiaowen will come over in a while, you haven't had dinner with this palace for a long time."
Xie Shiying bowed slightly and said apologetically, "It's the son's negligence, the son's son is not matching the queen mother, don't blame the queen mother." ”
Xie Shiying asked Sixi to step forward and handed a box to the queen, the box was opened, and inside was a large Ganoderma lucidum.
"This is the congratulatory gift that Erchen received when he was saluting before, and Erchen took it to borrow flowers and offer Buddha."
The queen nodded and asked Pei Han to take down the Lingzhi, took Xie Shiying's hand, and sat down at the table. The queen has recently recovered her body, and her mood has become a lot more cheerful, and Xie Shiying can't feel the original feeling of grief.
"I heard that you went out of the palace with Shen Wenwen, the newly appointed governor of Dali Temple of the Shen family, today?"
Xie Shiying's eyes darkened after hearing this, how could the queen know her movements, she didn't even tell Sixi. Could it be that she still has the queen's eyeliner by her side?
"Yes, but where did the Queen Mother find out?" Instead of panicking, she asked the queen with a smile.
"It was the prince who told the palace."
The queen recalled that this afternoon she was walking in the imperial garden, and when she was about to return to Fengyi Palace, she met Xie Yuan, who had just come out of Concubine Shu's Yongning Palace.
"Erchen has seen the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is blessed with Jin'an."
"It turned out to be the crown prince, I haven't seen you for a long time, and now I am more and more talented."
