Chapter 16: Standing and Talking Coolly
The nobles were led into the Changli Palace of the West Sixth Palace by the Great Inner Supervisor.
The surrounding area is extremely gorgeous, and the garden is full of lush vegetation, especially the peach blossoms, which are in full bloom during this season.
The courtyard is huge, and even if it accommodates so many noble ladies, it doesn't feel crowded.
Instead, groups of people looked for handkerchiefs and whispered, and the ladies always had to make the finale.
This is not the first time Shen Junru has entered the palace, and she has no interest in this deep palace with high walls, and in the final analysis, it is just a gorgeous cage.
Shen Junru didn't like a lot of people, so she found a remote pavilion alone and rested, and she didn't care about Shen Xiangning and Shen Yitian.
Although Shen Xiangning's identity is embarrassing, she is a habitual person, and she quickly integrated into the circle of nobles.
"Miss, the tea here is all boiled with peach blossom bubbles."
Shen Junru tasted it slightly, the faint peach fragrance entered her nose, and she suddenly became slightly distracted, she remembered that in her previous life, a peach tree was also planted in the small courtyard, and when it bore fruit, Qiu Ju would put the washed fruit in her hand, or pickle it in a honey pot, or make peach blossom wine.
The hand holding the plum blossom porcelain cup twisted slightly, and suddenly came back to his senses, but a fierce color flashed in his eyes.
She has to find Qiu Ju as soon as possible! She can't be made to suffer from her previous life!
When I came back to my senses, I saw a few gorgeously dressed noblewomen coming over, and the last one was Shi Xiangyu, even if she wiped the rouge, she couldn't resist the paleness of her face, frowning slightly, and her hand was on her lower abdomen.
Shen Junru could see at a glance that she was uncomfortable in her stomach.
"Yo, isn't this the eldest lady of the Shen family? Look at the flamboyant clothes of your two younger sisters, why are you dressed so shabby? ”
The woman who was the leader said coquettishly, holding her arms, and looking at Shen Junru condescendingly, obviously deliberately finding fault.
There is no way, who called her father Shen Shangshuling, and further, she is the first assistant of the cabinet, and she is the daughter of the Shen family, and her maternal ancestor is also a scholarly family, her background is too good, second only to the princess and county lord. Therefore, she is also expected to be the best candidate for the crown princess.
Even if she didn't want to, others wouldn't think so.
In the eyes of others, that piece of meat is fragrant, even if you don't want it, others will think that you want to grab it.
Shen Junru raised her eyes and saw that she was also an acquaintance in her previous life, Fang Shilang's daughter, Fang Yao, who wanted to marry the prince, and later even made a joke that she would rather be a concubine for the prince, but unfortunately the prince didn't take a fancy to her at all, and because of this matter, she was hurriedly promised by Fang Shilang and left Kyoto far away.
In this way, Shen Junru doesn't really want to deal with her, anyway, the years will clean up her current stupidity.
"It turned out to be Miss Fang."
A slight nod can be regarded as a response, after all, she had no enmity with this young lady in her previous life, and she didn't want to waste time on this person, but Shi Xiangyu, who walked to her side with a move behind her.
The accounts between them have not yet been settled.
"I heard that Mrs. Shen unfortunately went, but Sister Shen, you couldn't even send it on the last trip, as a child to do this, tsk, it's really unfilial!"
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the fact that Shen Junru didn't have time to rush back to send Mrs. Shen on her last trip had already spread in the capital, and even several versions were circulated.
It's really a pot that can't be opened!
It's nothing more than poking Shen Junru's sore feet and provoking her to satisfy her bad taste!
Shen Junru was indeed enraged, but she was no longer the kind of temper that caught fire at a moment!
Those more than 1,000 difficult days and nights were not in vain!
Putting the cup heavily on the round stone table, Shen Junru didn't laugh angrily, and met Fang Yao's eyes, but he didn't flinch in the slightest, but Fang Yao looked at it with a little weakness, and then heard her say coldly.
"I'm afraid that Miss Fang hasn't experienced the pain of losing her mother, and when I heard that the first emperor was born, the saint was also far away in Jiangdu and failed to fulfill his filial piety, which is also the pain in the heart of the saint for many years, what? What does Miss Fang mean that His Majesty is also unfilial? ”
Before the words fell, Shen Junru seemed to be frightened, covering her lips and looking at Miss Fang.
"I, I didn't say that..."
"If you say such a big rebellion, Miss Fang, you really have the guts."
That Fang Yao was so screamed by Shen Junru that she panicked, if these words reached the ears of the saint, how could they go around her?
Ten heads are not enough to cut off!
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say anything like that, I'm talking about you!"
"Since Miss Fang knows that my situation is similar to that of the Holy One, do you still want to say such things?"
Her eyebrows narrowed slightly, and she was a little not angry and arrogant, Fang Yao, who was shocked, couldn't speak, and the handkerchief on her side tugged at her, signaling her to stop talking, this is in the palace, and the province's unprovoked cause trouble.
However, Shi Xiangyu, who had been silent next to him, glanced at Shen Junru with a strange expression, the last time I saw it, I felt different, and this time the feeling was even stronger.
was puzzled, but Shen Junru suddenly turned her eyes and smiled lightly at her.
It was still the same as before, it hadn't changed, and she shook her head, it seemed that she was thinking too much.
"Sister Shen, don't talk to her too much, I see that you just have nothing to do, knowing that Sister Shen lost her mother, and still saying such words, it will reach the ears of the mothers, and you will have a reputation for being jealous, see how you end!"
When the voice came, a little girl wearing a long skirt of dark blue brocade, embroidered with white plum blossoms on the skirt, black hair curled into a wishful bun, round eyes and round face, walked in, with her waist inserted, looking delicate.
"I've seen the Lord of Mingzhu."
A few noble girls saluted slightly when they saw someone coming, although they are all noble girls, but they are different, like the princess and the county lord, don't say that the identity is noble than them, and they were born with titles, and although they are noble girls, they are born rich and noble, but they are just civilians in their identities.
Shen Junru's thin lips pursed slightly, she had a few encounters with this little county lord, and she was not familiar with it, but she never thought that the little county lord would come forward to speak for her.
Past... It doesn't seem to have happened.
"Hmph, I remember you, you are not right-minded, and your mouth is also vicious, I will tell my prince brother when I turn around."
When Fang Yao and the others heard this, they panicked, wasn't the purpose of their coming this time just the prince, so they waved their hands again and again, and said busily.
"We were just joking with Miss Shen, little county lord, don't take it seriously, don't tell the prince."
"Humph!"
The lord of Mingzhu clasped his hands to his chest. Before, he snorted heavily, measured his body, looked up at his proud little face, and said.
"Sister Shen is right, I see that you just haven't experienced the pain of losing your mother, so you will stand there and say cool things!"
Oh... Shen Junru's eyebrows lit up, but she remembered that this pearl county lord was the same as her, and he was also a poor person without a mother.
