Chapter 44: The King Hides Deeper
Today, in addition to the left governor Yushi Yungui is at home, the left governor of the imperial history, the right governor of the imperial history, the left deputy governor of the imperial history, the right deputy governor of the imperial history, the right deputy governor of the imperial history, the right of the imperial history of the imperial governor of the five inspectors are all here without exception, and there are a few thirteen supervising imperial histories also came to five, those people lined up, at first they still straightened their waists, but after a while, they all tightened their necks, they are all elderly people, where can they resist such a cold wind, as soon as half an hour passes, some people begin to sneeze unbearably.
The imperial historians are not happy with the emperor and the emperor does not dare to give them face, they are all leaders in the literary world, the emperor's respect for them is respect for the world's scholars, although some imperial histories have not been less to find fault with the emperor, but the emperor has always been polite, where did they think that this time they came with so many people, the emperor actually let them be treated the same as Shen Ke.
They are all pit stones, rather than give in, now that they have been treated like this by the emperor, their hearts are even more determined, and they are all gritting their teeth and enduring, but they are even more ashamed of it, they were not repelled by the emperor's cold face, but were crushed by their own bodies, after someone began to sneeze for the first time, it was like a piece of music without a tune sounded outside the Ning Yuan Palace, and there was a poor body of the imperial history who couldn't stand the wind and cold, and fell to the ground.
has been watching the book like a sea of sharp eyes, and immediately entered the dormitory to report to the emperor.
After getting a word from the emperor, he left Ningyuan Palace and instructed the chamberlain of Ningyuan Palace to carry the fainted imperial history to the imperial doctor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor has already said that this matter is the family affairs of His Royal Highness King Rui, and he can't move the people so much, this is that he has already made a holy decision, even if you stand until tomorrow, it is impossible to change the holy will, please go back, as for these folds, our family will help you to present them!" Shu Ruhai said as he asked an attendant to put away the folds in the hands of several imperial historians.
Although the imperial historians were unwilling, they stood desperately for so long and only got this sentence, the emperor's determination can be seen, although face is important, but old life is more important, thinking about it, it is also a decadent palace.
The emperor's holy decree let Du Yiyi enter the palace tomorrow, and she can only return to the Shen Mansion from now to the day before the wedding, which can alleviate some of the rumors outside now, and can also avoid those ladies and ladies who come to visit for Du Yiyi, Mother Xu is the person who was ordered to enter the palace to take care of Du Yiyi, after leaving from the book like a sea, she began to pack things for Du Yiyi, Du Yiyi must have to deal with those ladies when she enters the palace, but her jewelry has been sold, Lu Xiangxue said last time that she would take her to the Splendid Garden to get the wedding dress Cause and effect did not go, Now at this time, she immediately proposed to take Du Yiyi to Linlang Shop to buy two sets of jewelry!
The emperor had already cheered her up in front of her, and now it was time for their sister-in-law to go out for a walk to show off her sister-in-law's friendship, Du Yiyi didn't think about it, so she changed her clothes neatly and went out with Lu Xiangxue.
Linlang shop is the largest jewelry shop in the capital, which has everything from gold and silver to jasper jade to cloisonné glass and other rare jewelry, and it is also the favorite place for the ladies and ladies of those big families in the capital to go.
Long Street, is really a long street, this street is the most lively and prosperous area in the capital, originally two streets, and later merged into one street, from the street to look past, can only see a little bit of the general street end.
Lu Xiangxue and Du Yiyi sat in a sedan chair all the way to the front foot of Linlang Shop, and walked into Linlang Shop under the warm greeting of the guys. A woman came up to her and greeted her.
This woman was wearing a long skirt with lake blue pinched golden catkins and flowers, wearing a half-arm white fluffy shoulder, a hairpin with a little emerald inlaid red agate crested on her head, her face was full of fat and powder, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was warm and close, but those eyes were a little shrewd. Although Du Yiyi didn't recognize it, she still smiled and nodded to her.
"How come Mrs. Shen is free to come here today? This is ............ Yes! The woman was shocked and said, "Looking at this noble body, I think it must be Miss Du, the sister of General Shen!" ”
"Shopkeeper Liu, I'm here to pick out some suitable jewelry with Yiyi, do you have a new good product? To a new style, no need to be extravagant, more elegant. Lu Xiangxue didn't seem to see Shopkeeper Liu's surprised look, pulled Du Yiyi forward and stepped forward to stand side by side with her, and said with a smile to Shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu's shrewd eyes swept over Du Yiyi and Lu Xiangxue's faces, and the corners of his mouth with a smile suddenly grinned: "Mrs. Shen came just right, yesterday we came from Shuzhou a batch of goods, from the West, the style is novel and chic, the materials are also rare, the ladies and ladies all like it, and they are sold out on the shelf, fortunately, I still keep some!" Shopkeeper Liu said as he stayed, Lu Xiangxue walked to the inner room and opened a box on the top of the cabinet. Mrs. Shen looks at this chain, green spars and silver are interspersed, and it looks fair-skinned when you bring it, this chain is not only beautiful, but also has a feature, that is, these green spars will fluoresce at night, and many ladies and ladies can like it! ”
Lu Xiangxue took the chain in the hands of Shopkeeper Liu, put it on Du Yiyi's neck, shook her head and said, "It does look fair-skinned, but this dark green spar is too old-fashioned, not good." ”
The smile on the corner of Shopkeeper Liu's mouth froze, she lowered her head and paused, and she opened another box.
"Mrs. Shen, how do you look at this cloisonne inlaid with red coral Ruyi golden hairpin? Cloisonné is the most popular jewelry material among young ladies nowadays, it looks dignified and elegant, isn't Miss Du about to get married? This red coral is full of joy and wishful thinking, and the meaning is even better. Shopkeeper Liu enthusiastically handed the hairpin in his hand to Lu Xiangxue.
Lu Xiangxue looked at it and explained it in general: "There are a lot of jewelry at home, but she doesn't like it, it's not that she is going to get married, the emperor decreed that she should enter the palace to learn etiquette, although there are rewards in the palace, but now she is wearing a little unruly, so I want to take her to buy some, my sister-in-law, I like some elegant jewelry, shopkeeper Liu, you can introduce a few step shakes!" ”
Although Shopkeeper Liu is alas, but his eyes are still on Lu Xiangxue and Du Yiyi's faces, she has been in business for more than ten years, and she naturally looks at people with a very accurate eye, she has not heard of the rumors of those things in the Shen Mansion, and Du Yiyi, who has never shown up in the capital, she also saw it today, looking at a demure girl, between Lu Xiangxue and her, there seems to be no gap between the relationship, is it really just some people who look at the red eyes chewing their tongues? That's right, the emperor has issued an order to summon Du Yiyi into the palace, if it is true, then the emperor would have punished the crime a long time ago, where will there be such grace. Thinking about it, the smile on her face grew even bigger. "Yes, yes, you see this burnt blue hollow crested step, meaning Luan Feng and Ming, which is the most suitable for the lady to be married! There is also this five-petal plum blossom silver step shake, elegant and pure, Miss Du will definitely like it! ”
"No, she is going to enter the palace to see the queen's mother, this crested head is shaking, something is wrong, this silver hairpin, it is exquisite, wrap it for me!"
"Howler!" Shopkeeper Liu smiled and took the two step shakes, and asked the guy to take the plum blossom silver step shake to wrap it.
"Yiyi, take a look, do you have a favorite?" Lu Xiangxue saw Du Yiyi walk to the open boxes by herself, and walked to her side with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, this silver hairpin with magnolia flower head is suitable for you, you have been busy for me inside and out during this time, this magnolia hairpin is regarded as my thank you." Du Yiyi picked up a white magnolia seedling silver hairpin in a box.
"This hairpin is really exquisite, between our sister-in-law, how can there be any thanks, say it and let others laugh, since you have this intention, sister-in-law will accept it!" Lu Xiangxue pushed Du Yiyi, and her face was full of happiness.
"Mrs. Shen and Miss Du are in harmony, I really envy others!" Shopkeeper Liu took the hairpin with a smile and asked the guy to wrap it.
"Husband and wife are the blessings of a hundred generations, and my sister-in-law is also a hundred years old, I originally wanted to have a sister, and Yiyi fell in love with me, of course, as a sister!"
Lu Xiangxue turned her head with a smile, but pulled Du Yiyi in front of the cabinet with her right hand.
All this Liu shopkeeper naturally saw in his eyes, flattered a few words, she followed the two of them and enthusiastically introduced, this through, Du Yiyi selected a magnolia hairpin for Du Yiyi, Du Yiyi selected three sets of headdresses, necklaces, bracelets and earrings for Du Yiyi, and before she chose an oval Hetian jade pendant pinned to her waist, and waited for the people of the Shen Mansion to hold large and small boxes with the two sisters-in-law who were affectionately holding hands out of the door of Linlang Shop. The rapprochement between Lu Xiangxue and Du Yiyi has spread in Linlang Shop, and in addition to the discussions, more people have another understanding of the rumors.
Leaving Linlang Shop, the two went to Jinxiu Garden again, and the general situation was just like being in Linlang Shop, and all the ladies and ladies were impressed by the intimacy between the two.
Du Yiyi has those unfavorable rumors in her body, and she will inevitably attract some anger when she enters the palace, especially in front of those queens, Lu Xiangxue chooses as much jewelry and clothes as elegant as possible, so as not to provoke other people's gossip when she is too ostentatious.
I stayed on the long street for half an hour, and when I returned to the Shen Mansion, the two subordinates who were holding those large and small boxes were sweating, and Lu Xiangxue compassionate each rewarded one or two pieces of silver, and asked the subordinates to move these things to Du Yiyi's house and let the subordinates retreat.
Today's scene can be said to be a seamless cooperation between the two, as long as it is after tonight, the harmony of the Shen Mansion should be known, and those rumors should be self-defeating at that time.
*********
In Chengyou's mansion, Ning Chengyou's hand holding the letter that was as thin as a cicada's wings gradually trembled, and his already solemn expression was even more silent and white at this time.
In front of him, Shu Ruhai stood respectfully hunched.
"Third Highness, the slave has retired first."
"Wait! Father-in-law, although I will enter the palace with you. Ning Chengyou quickly folded the letter and put it into his arms.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor said that he doesn't want to see you!" Shu Ruhai squeezed out a few words in embarrassment, and glanced at Ning Chengyou with one eye.
