Chapter 44: The Imperial Rite (3)

"Please ask the emperor to take back his fate!" :

Xichen looked at her fixedly and waved his hand: "You all go down!" The eunuchs quietly retreated, and only the two of them were left in the palace.

"Get up and speak."

Shen Wan didn't move, still holding the holy decree high.

Xichen sighed, took the holy decree, looked at it again, and asked, "Is it because the grade is not high?" ”

Shen Wan's body shook, and she sighed again: "Okay, you are still young when you entered the palace, and according to your age, the position of Shangyi in front of the emperor is indeed not suitable for you." It's just that this position can always be by my side, and I can take care of you......"

Shen Wan had no time to listen to the latter words, so she raised her head and asked, "Is it Yuqian Shangyi?" ”

Xichen was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "You haven't read this holy decree?" What about pebbles? How did he preach? ”

Xiao Shizi heard the emperor's question outside, hurriedly ran in and knelt down, and kept kowtowing: "Slaves are guilty, slaves are guilty......"

Xichen looked at him, then at Shen Wan, and then remembered her anxious appearance just now, and suddenly understood, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Shen Wan's face was flushed to the base of her neck.

Xichen laughed heartily, held Shen Wan's shoulders and said, "You! Or as reckless as when I was a child! How, do you want to take back your destiny now? ”

Shen Wanfu knelt down again and said, "Slave and maid, thank the emperor for Longen." ”

Shangyi in front of the emperor, is the fourth product, the emperor's personal female official, and goes to court with the emperor.

This position is the same as the position of the chief eunuch, which is not to be underestimated by others, and they dare not be offended.

Because they are the emperor's cronies, although they are also a "slave", they are more expensive than the ordinary "masters".

However, the candidates for the imperial front Shangyi have always been those who have been in the palace for more than ten years and are about twenty-five years old. Because the palace unanimously believes that the young emperor keeps the young woman by his side, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and cause trouble among the harem concubines.

Twenty-five years old, he is already "old" in the palace.

"You are now a female official, and you can't live in your old residence, so I have helped you choose a new place to live, which is closer to me. There are also two little palace maids who are waiting, and if there is anything in the future, just tell them. As he spoke, he asked Pebble to bring something.

Shen Wan saw that it was her own golden crossbow, and said dumbly: "The Queen Mother's side ......"

Xichen said: "I have explained to the queen mother that this golden crossbow is my reward for you, and you will follow me in the future, and you will also be a guard on an errand." ”

Shen Wan lowered her head and took it, rubbed it and put it beside her.

"Let's have a meal together, and then you go back and clean up." Shen Wan was about to refuse, but Xichen said, "Your interruption, I have been interrupted by you, if you don't accompany you, I will have to order someone to withdraw the meal." ”

Looking at the delicacies on the table, Shen Wan sighed, only saying that it was a waste in her heart, and she still sat on the added seat and served half a bowl of rice.

During the banquet, Xichen seemed to say unintentionally: "Concubine Pei has been demoted to Zhaoyi and grounded for a month. After all...... She is the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son, and she still has to rely on her father on the western side. The last two sentences, the voice was extremely soft, and I don't know if Shen Wan heard it clearly.

Xiyuan ...... Shen Wan's heart tightened again, and the second brother didn't know what to do there.

After lunch, Shen Wan went back to pack her things, and Xiaoshizi followed behind her.

When she arrived at her original residence, she found that Xiangming had helped her pack all her clothes and put her bags aside. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute. When she got up, Shen Wan paid close attention, and sure enough, she and Xiaoshizi each looked at each other.

Pebble...... Shen Wan suddenly remembered!

There was no one around, and Shen Wan looked at the pebble with a smile.

Xiao Shizi bowed down and smiled, "What do you command, Lord Shangyi?" ”

He was so transparent that he was transformed so quickly.

Shen Wan smiled and asked, "Are you the apprentice of Mr. An?" ”

Xiao Shizi still smiled humbly and said, "Miss has good eyesight." ”

Shen Wan smiled, he didn't call himself Lord Shangyi but changed to Miss, she already understood what was going on.

Nodding secretly, Shen Wan took the burden brought by Xiangming and said, "I have time to go to Cao Ronghua for me and ask her how her condition is, as well as Concubine Li's voice." ”

Xiangming responded: "Miss don't worry. ”

Shen Wan is indeed relieved, by her side, in addition to herself, there is also Xiangming is an old friend. Now, there is another pebble.

My sister is such a woman with a blue heart, and she knows better than anyone else about her ambitions, so she also had the intention of entering the middle palace, so she took precautions before entering the palace. It's a pity that she never saw her husband clearly, and even if she became the queen, she lost her life in vain. Fortunately, everything that I did before was useful, and it paved the way for Shen Wan now, my sister is in the spirit of heaven, you must bless her!

The new residence is an independent courtyard, and two towering ginkgo trees are planted in the courtyard, and out of the courtyard through a few corridors to the dormitory and warm pavilion of the dust, it is indeed close.

Xiao Shizi brought her in, put her things away, and brought two little palace maids to her, and said with a smile: "These two are the palace maids for Lord Shangyi, you still don't want to see Lord Shangyi." ”

The two little palace maids hurriedly knelt down and asked for peace: "The slave maid Chun'er (Yan'er) has seen Lord Shangyi. ”

One is called Chun'er, the other is called Yan'er, judging from the name, they are indeed relatively low-level palace maids. However, as Shang Yi, it is already a grace to have two palace maids to serve.

These two people are both fourteen or fifteen years old, and they look honest, so they must have been specially picked out by Xiaoshizi. Shen Wan nodded at Xiao Shizi, and Xiao Shizi smiled all over his face.

"It's nothing, you guys go down first." Shen Wan spoke, and both of them retreated.

Xiao Shizi said: "The slave still has to serve Long Live Long Live, so he won't bother Shangyi." ”

Shen Wan thought for a while and asked, "How is your master?" ”

Xiao Shizi sighed: "Alas, the master is really an old man, the emperor asked him to receive the punishment, he really ran to get thirty boards, but now it's good, he can't get out of bed, and the emperor can't wait for him, so he recommended the slave to come over." ”

Shen Wan smiled slightly and said, "Since your master takes a fancy to you, you should behave well, but don't let your master down." Your master is now old, so he naturally points to you. ”

Xiao Shizi is a smart person, how could he not understand Shen Wan's words, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what Lord Shangyi said is that the little one must serve the master well." ”

Shen Wan smiled again, Xiaoshizi Shili walked away, and Shen Wan tidied up her things to prepare for tomorrow's things.

The sky was just dawning, Shen Wan got up to wash, put on Shangyi's new palace clothes, and she came to Shangyang Palace, ready to go to court with Xichen.

Xichen looked at her outfit, nodded slightly, and went to the Nine Dragons Palace, Shen Wan followed the small stones left and right, and there were more than 20 palace maids and eunuchs behind her.
