Reading with the Palace (1)

Chapter 309: Entering the Palace to Read Together (1)

At the end of July, the royal driver returned to Beijing, and at the same time, the Ministry of Rites also reviewed Shen Wan's qualifications to enter the palace to accompany the study, and Shen Wan entered the palace in August as the eighth princess's companion.

Shen Wan entered the palace to accompany her, so she naturally had to go to thank the queen first, and when she came to the middle palace, a woman saw Shen Wan coming, and said with a smile: "This is the young lady of the Shen family, right?" The mother is waiting in the palace, please come with the slave maid. ”

In the past, Shen Wan was in front of Concubine Rou when she entered the palace, and rarely went elsewhere, let alone to the middle palace. Therefore, this time it was the first time to come back, and I couldn't help but want to take a good look at the palace, but the woman in front of me walked very fast, and she didn't have time to observe it at all, so she could only follow the woman with her head down and come to the palace.

"Please wait here, the slave and maid will go in first and report it." Saying that, the woman went in to pass the word, and Shen Wan stood there alone, so she looked around boldly and with confidence.

The hall is empty, and eight golden jade pillars stand on both sides, and the jade pillars are carved with the king of birds, the phoenix. At the end of the column is the Queen's Throne, which rises high above and is followed by six steps. The golden floor tiles are polished and shiny, and the figure can be illuminated.

A nameless impulse suddenly surged in Shen Wan's heart, but she quickly realized her gaffe and immediately lowered her head and sighed.

At that time, how could she know that she would become the hostess of this place in the near future?

At this time, a woman in a colorful palace dress walked up to her and said with a smile: "Slave maid Azhu, please come with the slave maid, the queen is in the Jiaofang Palace." ”

Shen Wan then followed the palace maid named Ah Zhu and turned a few corridors before arriving at the door of the Jiaofang Palace. Then a higher-ranking palace maid came to hold her and brought her to the palace.

As soon as she entered the hall, Shen Wan smelled a fresh fragrance, and she only felt that her groggy head was finally sober. I don't know why, when she arrives here, she only dares to look at the red felt carpet on the ground, and only walks outside a string of colorful bead curtains before she stops and kneels down to salute.

A few steps behind the beaded curtain was the Queen's bed, on which she was reclining, as if fiddling with something. Shen Wan heard the sound of metal clashing, which was particularly harsh in the entire quiet hall.

"Oh, you're here, don't be polite, come in and sit." The queen said gently and amiably.

Then a palace maid came forward to help Shen Wan into the curtain and pointed her to sit on the queen's first stool. Shen Wan held her breath and bowed slightly, so as to listen carefully to the queen's instructions.

The queen looked extremely gentle, and said to the girl who was about ten years old next to her: "Dechang, this is the second lady of the Shen family, and she will be your companion in the future." ”

Shen Wan raised her head slightly and saw the appearance of Princess Dechang, this Princess Dechang was two years older than Shen Wan, ranked eighth, and her biological mother died early, so she was raised by the queen's mother. She was wearing a yellow satin skirt embroidered with large crimson flowers, and a pair of big black eyes were looking at Shen Wan curiously.

As soon as she saw Shen Wan's appearance, she was taken aback and exclaimed: "It seems that some rumors are indeed true, they are really overwhelming!" ”

Shen Wan lowered her head embarrassedly, and the queen smiled: "Look at your surprise, I'm just afraid that when you are in one place in the future, others will look at her a few more times and treat her as a serious princess." ”

Shen Wan's heart jumped, and she didn't understand what the queen's intentions were, but she vaguely guessed the hostility in this sentence, and said busily and humbly: "How can the posture of the people's daughter Pu Liu be compared with the princess's golden body, the mother praised it falsely." ”

Dechang was a straightforward person, and he didn't hear the queen's words, so he stepped forward to take Shen Wan's hand and said with a smile: "Where, the queen mother is telling the truth, you are really much more beautiful than me." ”

Shen Wan raised her head and smiled at her, Dechang liked it more and more, and turned back to the queen and said, "Queen Mother, can I take Shen Wan out for a walk?" ”

The queen smiled gently: "Okay, you guys go, be careful not to fall." ”

So Dechang happily took Shen Wan's hand and walked out, Shen Wan still didn't forget to think of the queen Shi Li and said: "The people's daughter retires." ”

When he got outside, Dechang immediately said happily to Shen Wan: "It's good this time, I was thinking that you could come to the palace, there are too few daughters in the palace, and after two years when the sixth sister leaves the pavilion, I will have less fun." Now that you are in the palace to accompany me, it is very good. ”

Shen Wan hurriedly said: "The princess cherishes it, Shen Wan really doesn't dare to be, she must accompany the princess to study." ”

Dechang sighed, shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you study or not, anyway, the queen mother also said that my daughter's family will be a little popular, but I am a princess, and I still have to learn etiquette." ”

When Shen Wan heard this, she thought that these eight princesses didn't like to read, and she was in her arms, and then a smile appeared on her face.

I didn't notice that Dechang kept staring at her, and when he saw her smile, he couldn't help but shout: "Shen Wan, you laugh, it's even more beautiful." ”

Shen Wan was really embarrassed by her, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only smile shyly.

I heard someone over there shouting in a near collapse: "Oh my God! Shen Wan, is this still you? How can you laugh like that? Will be shy! ”

Princess Dechang turned her head and saw the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Twelfth Prince, walking towards this side together, and it was the Ten Princes who shouted just now. He smiled and asked them, "Are you free today?" ”

The tenth prince said: "No class, I heard that Shen Wan entered the palace today, so I came to take a look." ”

Shen Wan glared at the twelve princes while people were not paying attention, and then asked Lao Shi with a smile: "What are you yelling about?" Why am I not me? Can't I be shy yet? After saying that, he deliberately wrinkled his little nose.

The Ten Princes laughed and said, "It's you, and it's you now." ”

The Twelve Princes were glared at by her just now, and the good impression that he had when he saw her smile suddenly disappeared again, and he didn't want to pay attention to her, and simply crossed his arms and looked elsewhere.

The Eighth Prince asked with the most concern: "What's the matter, cousin?" What did the queen say? ”

"Naturally, I was asked to accompany Her Royal Highness the princess."

Dechang also said: "If nothing else, let us get along well, hehe, I have heard that you get along very well on weekdays, and I am relieved to see you so casual." He said to Shen Wan again: "In the future, we will all be in one place, I will talk to the queen mother and let you enter the palace to live." ”

Shen Wan hurriedly said: "This is absolutely impossible. ”

Dechang smiled and asked: "Could it be that there is a tiger in the palace, and you are afraid that you will be eaten?" ”

Shen Wan glanced at Twelve and said, "There is no tiger, but there is one monkey." ”

Everyone was surprised, and Twelve said coldly: "I didn't mess with you today!" ”

"Humph!" Shen Wan ignored him, her heart was so relieved, and she finally avenged him that night when he said that he was a wild cat!

The Ten Princes covered their ears and said, "I'm most afraid of hearing you quarrel, as if you can't live in peace if you don't quarrel for a day!" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes sighed faintly and said, "It seems that in the future, we will have to prepare more cotton for ear plugging in class." ”

Princess Dechang asked curiously, "Why?" ”

The Nine Emperor Prince said: "If you want to stop the old master's chatter, and you don't want to listen to his two noisy quarrels, wouldn't you have to prepare a few?" ”

Everyone except Shen Wan and Twelve laughed, but Shen Wan said: "You only have two ears, what's the use of preparing more?" Could it be that you and the monkey are in the same family, a six-eared macaque? ”

Several people laughed more and more this time, and the Nine Emperors blushed and muttered: "Isn't it your own brother!" ”
