If you are a concubine (2)
Chapter 275: Concubine (2)
Shen Wan also saw Ruo Concubine from far and near, and turned around to leave, but then thought that as a queen, there was no need for her to hide from a small palace concubine! simply stood there with Concubine Duan and waited for Concubine Ruo to come over.
Ruo Concubine saw Shen Wan and Duan Concubine standing together, and walked over in a hurry, and Shen Wan saw the pink pearl necklace around her neck at a glance. Pink pearls are extremely rare, and Xiao Wumian seemed to mention in his letter to himself a few days ago that he had two strings of colored pearls.
Ruo Concubine came over with a smile and said, "Sister Duan, are you here too?" Hey? I haven't seen this sister before, I don't know which palace sister it is? ”
Shen Wan and Duan Concubine were stunned for a moment, and Duan Concubine asked, "Sister Ruo really doesn't know this ...... This sister? ”
Ruo Concubine shook her head, looked at Shen Wan carefully, and said, "It seems that there is some familiarity, it's just ...... is dressed so elegantly for my sister, I really haven't seen it! ”
Shen Wan smiled clearly, she understood that Ruo Concubine had just had a relationship with her during the draft, but the distance was not close at that time, and she was dressed up to attend, wearing a golden court dress and a heavy phoenix crown. And now she is wearing a white gauze dress, without powder, it is indeed difficult for people to connect the two looks.
Duan Concubine looked at Shen Wan embarrassedly, but Shen Wan smiled and said: "It's possible that I haven't seen it, we are in the deep palace together, but Sister Ruo has always been very favored, and I have long been forgotten by the emperor." There was a faint sadness in her tone, which made people can't help but feel a trace of sadness.
Ruo Concubine didn't have the slightest sense of taste, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be too sad, you are so beautiful, the emperor will always think of you one day." You don't know how good the emperor is, he is handsome, gentle, and very careful! ”
Shen Wan didn't feel the corners of her mouth twitch, handsome is true, but gentle? Observant? It seems unlikely that he is a person, right?
"Your necklace is beautiful." Shen Wan said lightly.
Ruo Concubine picked up the pearl necklace on her chest like a baby, her eyes were slowly happy, and she sighed: "This is a reward from the emperor, he brought two boxes last night, one is pink and the other is purple, alas, they are so beautiful!" He asked me to choose one, but I came and went, and I didn't know which one to choose. She sighed softly, "Those two necklaces are so beautiful, I really don't know how to choose." However, it is the emperor who cherishes me the most! He saw that I was so hesitant, so he simply gave me both. She raised her head and looked at Shen Wan, her eyes sparkling, "Look at my pink dress, it just matches this necklace!" ”
Shen Wan nodded lightly and smiled: "It's beautiful, it's indeed a good match." ”
Ruo Concubine laughed happily and said strangely: "But, sister, why are you dressed so plainly?" ”
Shen Wan didn't speak, Ruo Concubine suddenly looked at Shen Wan behind her and jumped up with joy, and ran over without caring about her appearance. Shen Wan and Duan Concubine turned their heads and saw Xichen slowly walking towards this side.
Xichen's eyes were firmly tied to Ruo Concubine, and when he saw Ruo Concubine running towards him, he showed a simple and tolerant smile, and when Ruo Concubine walked to him, he gently raised his hand to help her brush her messy hair.
Shen Wan's heart was hit hard, and that kind of smile would only be given to herself in the past......
There was no need to stay here anymore, she didn't go over to say goodbye, but turned around and walked in the direction of Chengong. Duan Concubine is not like her, so she can only go over and ask for peace. Ruo Concubine smiled embarrassedly and said, "I am so happy to see the emperor, so ...... Hey, what's wrong with that sister? ”
Duan Concubine smiled: "Xu has something to do......"
Xichen followed Ruo Concubine's gaze, only saw a light veiled figure, a little loss crossed her heart, and asked casually, "Have you seen the queen?" ”
Duan Concubine looked at Ruo Concubine and nodded, and Ruo Concubine said in surprise: "Ah! That was the queen just now? I...... I thought she was just an ordinary concubine! Your Majesty, I didn't mean to! ”
Xichen patted her hand and said, "It's okay, the queen won't blame you." As he spoke, he kept looking at his back in the distance and frowned slightly.
Shen Wan returned to the Chen Palace, called for fragrant tea, and said, "Put away all the pink clothes and jewelry in my palace, this palace doesn't want to see it again!" ”
Xiangming looked surprised, opened her mouth, and said, "Yes, Niangniang." ”
Chun'er asked curiously, "Doesn't Niangniang like pink the most?" Why put it all away? ”
Shen Wan slowly took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Because there is no need for it anymore." "Yes, there is no need, there is already a younger, more innocent woman suitable for such a color. And I, who have already been stained with different colors in this secluded deep palace, is no longer the girl who picked locust flowers back then.
When it was close to lunch, Chun'er suddenly ran in in a hurry, with a smile on her face, took Shen Wan's hand and said, "The emperor ...... The emperor is here, the emperor is here! ”
Shen Wan was stunned, and while she was still stunned, Xichen had already strode in. Shen Wan glanced at him, lowered her head again, stood up and went over to say goodbye. Xichen stopped her and said, "The queen doesn't have to be polite, I haven't been here for a long time, and the queen knows the etiquette more than before." ”
faint mockery, because in private, Shen Wan would not be so formal.
Shen Wan didn't care about the ridicule in his tone, and said expressionlessly: "People will change, become more knowledgeable, shouldn't the emperor be more satisfied?" ”
Xichen's throat moved, and he didn't dwell on this issue, but said, "Did Ruo Concubine bump into you in the morning?" If she is young and ignorant, can the queen spare her this time? ”
Shen Wan suddenly burst out: "It turns out that in the eyes of the emperor, are the concubines the kind of people who must be narrow-minded and narrow-minded?" She smiled bitterly, "Yes, maybe in the eyes of the emperor, the concubine is really such a person." She felt bitter in her heart, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, she turned her back, swallowed the bitter water into it, and said bitterly: "If she didn't rush me, she doesn't know my identity, so I won't blame her." If she is innocent, the emperor should love her well. ”
After a long time, he said, "I will." ”
Until she heard the sound of Xiangming and Chun'er sending Xichen away, Shen Wan didn't look back, as if her spiritual pillar had completely collapsed, she suddenly collapsed to the ground, supporting herself on the ground with only one hand.
Xiangming and Chun'er hurriedly came over to support her, Shen Wan couldn't bear the pain in her heart, clenched her palms tightly, tears couldn't help rolling down anymore, crying and said, "What should I do, my heart hurts, it hurts...... My heart really hurts......"
