The day after Zhong Ruman was pampered, he was named a concubine and given the name "Ruo".

Xiangming helped Shen Wan comb her hair, and told her: "This little master's father is just a small leader of the political secretary, his official position is not high, and he has no silver reward when he enters the palace, so he has not been on the list of attendants, who knew that there was such a coincidence, and the little master of the same period with her did not have a concubine, she is the most outstanding one in this issue!" ”

Shen Wan said lightly: "That's also her fate with the emperor!" As he spoke, he picked out a snow-white mutton fat hosta from the jewelry box, which was shaped like a small lotus and handed it to Xiang Ming.

Xiangming looked at the hairpin and asked, "Niangniang, isn't it too plain!" ”

Shen Wan said: "It's better to be plain, I always wear gold and silver, I'm so tired and panicked, you look at it, I guess I'm also tired and panicked!" ”

Xiang Ming took the white hosta, put it on the bun for the time being, the back of the bun was all decorated with pearls, and the forehead was decorated with a silver thread as thin as silk thread, simple rather than noble and generous.

"Just wear that white gauze dress!" Shen Wan pointed to the white gauze skirt that had not been used for a long time, the skirt was well-cut and lightweight, and it was the most suitable to wear in the hot summer.

It was too plain, and Xiang Ming replaced the white belt with a golden one.

Shen Wan asked, "Where is the residence of Ruo Concubine?" ”

Xiangming glanced at her and said, "Shen Mengxuan, is it...... It was arranged by the emperor himself! ”

The hairpin's hand trembled, Shen Wan knew that Shen Mengxuan was a delicate small house behind the Qiangong, but she didn't expect that Xichen would love this concubine so much, did she want to see her all the time? A wry smile crossed his lips.

Dressed properly, Cui Shanggong took the gift given to Ruo Concubine today, Shen Wan looked at it, but a pair of gold bracelets, a jade Ruyi, and two tribute satins, Shen Wan shook her hand and said, "It's too light, this gift is too light!" ”

Cui Shanggong said: "Niangniang, this is given to the new favorite master according to the usual practice!" ”

Shen Wan smiled slightly: "This little master is different from the little master in the past, add another set of good gold heads, add a pair of jade bracelets, and Ruyi will also make a pair, four tribute satins!" ”

Cui Shanggong couldn't help but be speechless: "Such a reward is too heavy!" ”

Shen Wan didn't explain, but said: "Just do what this palace wants!" ”

Cui Shanggong was helpless, so he had to say: "Yes!" "I can't help but wonder in my heart, it's just a concubine, why should the queen value it so much?

The queen's reward went, and the courtesy of the palace also followed, and everyone had inquired in advance, and found that the queen's reward was so much, and they were stunned or added weight to their own gifts, and when they were secretly slandering, the emperor's reward also passed, and it was unprecedentedly rich, and everyone was amazed and envious, and had to admire the queen's vision.

This young and beautiful concubine is afraid that he will become the most powerful new favorite.

Sure enough, for five days in a row, the emperor was all recruiting concubines to sleep, five days! Except for the Queen, there is no one with such an honor.

Moreover, every time it is a pity to recruit the concubines to the Qiangong, instead of going to Shen Mengxuan, the treatment of sleeping in the Qiangong is for the queen, not for ordinary concubines, the dragon bed in the emperor's bedroom can only be for the emperor and the queen to sleep in since ancient times.

For this reason, the imperial history began to be written, and even Liu Zhao, who had always been unable to get along with Shen Wan, also stood on the ancestral system at this time, and advised the emperor not to be too favored, but to contain rain and dew.

Under the bombardment of the imperial history for five consecutive days, Xichen finally compromised, and did not recall the concubine again, but he did not recall anyone again.

Chengong became more deserted, Shen Wan became more and more idle, and the idle didn't even want to dress up.

In the evening, she did not apply powder, wearing a white gauze skirt that was encouraged by the wind to dance, and slowly walked under the rows of locust trees in the Meixia Garden, the evening breeze raised the soft petals, the petals fell among the confused green silk, fell under the footsteps of the beauty, stepping on the white petals one by one, as if stepping heavily on people's hearts.

"Ahh A familiar hoarse voice with a thick, nasal voice came from behind him.

Shen Wan turned her head and saw Xi Chao, Xi Chao looked at her in surprise and said, "Ah Wan, why are you crying!" ”

Shen Wan raised her hand and touched it, her cheeks were wet, and she really cried.

He smiled reluctantly, wiped away the tears on his face, and asked, "Why did you enter the palace, are the injuries on your body healed?" ”

Xi Chao nodded and said, "It's been healed a long time ago, it's not a very serious injury!" ”

Shen Wan's heart ached, she remembered the words of the imperial doctor that day, the situation was very dangerous, he said this today, because he didn't want to feel too guilty, but the more he was like this, the more uneasy he felt in his heart!

Xi Chao came closer, helped her wipe away the tears that had not been wiped off, and said softly: "I have also heard about the things in the palace, don't worry too much, the fourth brother is just a freshness, after a while, he will still think of your good come, and he loves you the most!" ”

Yes, Shen Wan smiled faintly, cherish the dynasty, and comfort herself at this time.

Xi Chao saw the locust flower she was holding in her hand, and asked with a smile, "Do you like acacia flowers?" I never knew! ”

Shen Wan shook her head and said, "I don't like acacia flowers, never will!" She didn't know when there was an extra flower in her hand, looking at the flower in her hand, she suddenly remembered the way Xichen put the acacia hairpin on Ruo Concubine's sideburns that day, she suddenly clenched her hands, and the flowers in her hands were immediately pinched, and the transparent juice dripped down Shen Wan's fingers into the soft soil.

Xi Chao was stunned, took out a handkerchief from his arms, grabbed Shen Wan's hand, and gently wiped her, with a gentle movement as if she was wiping a piece of high-grade jade, Shen Wan couldn't help but have a sour nose.

That handkerchief was used by her when she was a palace maid in the old years, and he actually ...... It has been preserved.

"Nika is gone!" Xi Chao lowered his head and said suddenly.

"What?" Shen Wan's hand shook and asked uncertainly.

Xi Chao raised his head to look at her and said, "Nika is gone, just one day after my injuries healed, I sent someone out to look for her, but I couldn't find her!" ”

Shen Wan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Why, did something happen between you?" ”

Xichao shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, between us, there is nothing wrong, it's just that she figured it out, she left me a letter!" Xi Chao didn't say the content of the letter, because he didn't want Shen Wan to know.

Nika said that she had always naively thought that as long as she stayed by his side, she would take the place in his heart, but when Xichao stepped forward and received those two arrows, she finally understood that no matter what she did, right or wrong, gentle or stubborn, as he said, his heart had been filled with one person, and no one would enter the station.

It's just that she didn't understand and didn't believe it before, but now, she finally understands that even if she is by his side for a lifetime, she will not take that person's place, no matter whether that person is alive or dead, whether it is close at hand or far away,
