Chapter 381: Show off
After speaking, the bell girl hardened her heart, pulled out her wrist from Meng Lansheng's hand, and then strode away without looking back.
Meng Lansheng squatted on the ground like a child and cried loudly the moment the bell girl stepped out of the door.
When the bell girl heard his cry, her steps suddenly stopped, but only for a moment, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then continued to stride forward without any reluctance.
How Meng Lansheng returned to the capital, he himself didn't know, after begging the bell girl to stay and being refused, he was confused, looking like a walking corpse, so he asked Chu Xi for a few days of sick leave for the first time.
When Shen Xianhe learned the final result, although he was distressed in his heart, he finally accepted this fact, and even secretly came to Meng Lansheng's house to visit him accompanied by Su Nianjun.
"Don't be sad, Bell Girl, she just doesn't want you to regret it."
Looking at Meng Lansheng, who was lying on the bed without saying a word, Shen Xianhe comforted him distressedly.
Meng Lansheng looked at a certain place expressionlessly, and his voice was very hoarse.
"I know why she is reluctant to come back with me, and I respect her choice, from the beginning, I was sorry for her, when she was the most difficult, helpless, and most in need of care, I was not there, I did not accompany her to bear it, and now, her wounds have healed and I am no longer needed, so she fulfills me and fulfills herself, but she does not want to fulfill our ...... together."
After speaking, a line of tears slowly flowed from the corners of Meng Lansheng's eyes.
Those pale and powerless words of comfort, Shen Xianhe could no longer speak, and could only remain silent.
Almost half a month after the bell girl left, Meng Lansheng's serious illness slowly recovered, and everything seemed to return to the previous appearance, as if the bell girl did not exist, Meng Lansheng returned to the vigorous and resolute style of the past.
It's just that no one dares to mention the name Bell Girl in front of him anymore.
As the days passed, the season entered the twilight of autumn.
Daqing Dynasty is safe and sound, the people are also well-fed and clothed, all the performance is vibrant, and it is the autumn harvest season, everyone's face is smiling, of course, except for the dark tide at the bottom, everything looks so peaceful.
After the last time Shen Xianhe was assassinated, Chu Xi pretended to be very angry and ordered a thorough investigation, of course, nothing was found, and a few days after Shen Xianhe was assassinated on the street, Mrs. Huai'an Hou received a pile of decomposed corpses, with heads, legs, and hands.
Frightened, Mrs. Huai'an Hou fell ill directly in bed, of course, she concealed these very well, and did not show the slightest rumor to go out, but she was sick, but she had been sick for a long time, and she was so sick that she couldn't participate in the annual Quyu Flowing Water Meeting, but Gu Rongrong went.
This is a banquet held by the royal family and various families, called liaison feelings, in fact, it is a gladiatorial arena for each family to compare their strength, of course, it is also a banquet for major single men and women and young people to go on a blind date, and it is also a finch bridge banquet for the ladies of each family to see their daughters-in-law and sons-in-law.
Shen Xianhe is now Su Nianjun's princess and a distinguished guest of the Daqing Dynasty, how could he not receive an invitation? Therefore, she and Su Nianjun went hand in hand and officially appeared in front of the circle of noblewomen in the capital.
In the past, when the eldest princess was still there, she was still the county lord who was loved by thousands of people, so she was the focus of such a gathering, and she also attracted much attention, but after many years, her life experience was full of twists and turns, from the proud daughter of the sky to the flat-headed people who could be bullied by anyone.
Everyone didn't expect that after she fell off the altar, she would be able to come back with infinite scenery, even more eye-catching than before.
On such an occasion, Chu Xi, who is the emperor, of course, also has to show up, so Su Nianjun accompanied Shen Xianhe to the place where the woman was, and told his subordinates to take good care of Shen Xianhe quite uneasily, and then left with the father-in-law sent by Chu Xi to invite him.
At today's banquet, except for the sick Mrs. Huai'an Houfu, the ladies and ladies with heads and faces in the capital all came, so Shen Xianhe walked in with the support of the maidservant.
Separated by a wall, divided into two, the men are on the left, the women are on the right, the royal west courtyard is famous for its beautiful scenery, peach blossoms and flowing water, and people forget to return.
This place, Shen Xianhe is not unfamiliar, when she was still the county lord in the past, she often followed the Empress Dowager to come here, not once a year to follow everyone in the autumn harvest season, but in the summer with infinite scenery, come here to escape the heat.
Seeing these familiar places, it is easy to see things and think about people, so Shen Xianhe's eyes darkened, hiding his nostalgia for the past.
Walking in all the way, along the way and the lady who didn't know him politely greeted, Shen Xianhe always maintained a decent smile, alienated and did not reject people thousands of miles away, along the way, she even met a close friend when she was the county lord, but after so many years, the former girls have married other wives, and the once intimate is now only estranged.
Although Chu Xi does not have a prince yet, he also has a queen, this queen is the first time Shen Xianhe has seen it, with a small face, and a small pear vortex on the side of his mouth, it looks very cute, the first time he met, Shen Xianhe did not reject this queen, although he was from the Empress Dowager Sun's mother's side.
"The princess is here, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Shen Xianhe, under the guidance of the palace maid, came to the lower right of the queen and sat down.
"The princess doesn't have to be polite, I was fortunate to see the princess in the palace of the Queen Mother before, and I thought the princess was very good-looking, but I didn't expect that after so many years, I saw the princess again, and I still looked as good as I did back then, without the slightest change."
Looking at the clear eyes of the queen in front of him, Shen Xianhe believed that she was telling the truth, not sarcastic.
"The queen mother praised it falsely, everyone is mortal, how can it be that there has been no change for so many years, I think the queen mother is wrong, but I am a little curious, the queen mother looks not very old, why did she marry the emperor?"
Although Shen Xianhe knew that Chu Xi married the girl from his mother's maiden family as the queen, he didn't know that it was a little girl, looking at the little girl in front of him, Shen Xianhe was very worried about whether she could shock the three thousand beauties in the harem.
Hearing this, the queen's face turned slightly rosy, and she explained with the shyness of a girl.
"Don't hide it from the princess, when I was young, when I was young, I fell in love with the emperor at first sight when I entered the palace with my mother, and I silently thought about marrying Your Majesty at that time, and later, I married Your Majesty like this."
Shen Xianhe nodded and stopped talking.
At this time, a palace maid walked up to her side, whispered something in her ear, she waved her hand, and then got up and said sorry to the queen.
"Queen Mother, I'm sorry, I'm going to see a friend, so I won't accompany you."
The queen waved her hand generously.
"Go princess, it's okay here in the palace."
Shen Xianhe was not polite, and after smiling back, he turned around with the palace maid and came to the guest room where the maid was ready to rest, and the palace maid brought it vigilantly to check whether there was anything abnormal around, and left two to guard the door, and then closed the door from the inside.
"Madam, there is a word from Lord Chu's side that everything is ready, just waiting to attract people into the urn."
A smile appeared at the corner of Shen Xianhe's mouth, and his eyes were extremely sharp.
"Okay, you go and tell Chen Han, let him come to see me secretly, say that I am ready to deal with the Huai'an Hou Mansion, and let him come over to help me."
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
After speaking, the palace maid who had been going back and forth to Shen Xianhe before turned around and left.
Shen Xianhe, under the service of the other palace maids, changed a new set of clothes, and walked slowly towards the place where he met Chen Han.
It's just that as soon as he went out, he greeted Gu Rongrong, who also came to change clothes, and the person he had to deal with today was Chen Han, Shen Xianhe didn't want to waste time entangled with her, so he ignored her and prepared to bypass her and leave.
However, there is a kind of person who is the kind of person who ignores her and wants to come over to provoke, Gu Rongrong is such a person, although Mrs. Huai'an Hou concealed what she received from the outside world, but she did not hide it from her most intimate daughter.
So Gu Rongrong learned that her mother sent someone to assassinate Shen Xianhe on the street, and then was rescued by Huo Biao who was passing by, and then Shen Xianhe found out that the person behind the scenes was her mother, so she retaliated and sent those assassins to her mother in eight parts, and scared her mother so sick that she couldn't even participate in today's banquet.
Gu Rongrong already looked at Shen Xianhe unpleasantly, even if she died before, but now she came back from the dead and reappeared in front of her, how could she not hate, plus Shen Xianhe was still her half-sister, and she wanted to fight with their brothers and sisters for family property, how could she turn a blind eye to her.
Shen Xianhe passed by Gu Rongrong's side and was about to bypass her, but she blocked his way.
Seeing Gu Rongrong who let go of his way, Shen Xianhe's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes were full of impatience, and he looked at Gu Rongrong sarcastically.
"Good dogs don't get in the way, don't you know this sentence?"
"You...... Hmph, Shen Xianhe, what are you proud of, aren't you just marrying the prince of the Northern Qiang Kingdom? What's the big deal, let me tell you, I'm going to marry General Huo soon, do you know Huo Biao? is the Huo Biao who didn't like you the most before, you married Beiqiang, and you will be Beiqiang's person in the future, Daqing and Beiqiang may start a war when, you say, when the time comes, you and that Su Nianjun become prisoners of Daqing, what kind of scene will it be? ”
