Reduced to a palace maid (2)
Just after the fourth watch on the second day, he got up and went to court, and the palace maid came forward to put on a dragon robe for him. Xichen frowned: "I don't want you." He pointed at Shen Wan and said, "You come." ”
Shen Wan was stunned, she was just a maid in the tea palace, and she hadn't learned to serve tea yet, let alone help men dress.
It's just that Xichen stared at her with burning eyes, and Father-in-law An whispered on the side, don't miss the early dynasty.
Shen Wan couldn't, so she had to hang her head and stepped forward to get clothes for him to wear.
He leveled his hands left and right, looked down at her nervous appearance, and a slight smile on his lips, combined with her clumsiness, made her more and more flustered.
The wound on his shoulder was still painful, and it was even harder to hold his hands, she saw his slightly trembling left arm, and she should be happy to see him in pain! But he frowned, wanting to get it done quickly.
The more anxious it is, the more likely it is to make mistakes, he laughs: "The button is wrong." ”
Shen Wan paused her hand and said to the dressing palace next to her: "It's better for you to come!" ”
Xichen saw her annoyed look, couldn't bear to tease anymore, and stood up straight to let the dressing palace people move quickly, and the palace people caught a glimpse of the bandages on the emperor's shoulders and couldn't help it, "Ah! "Yes. After three or two strokes, he put on his clothes and stood aside in fear.
Xichen put on the crown, kissed Shen Wan lightly on the forehead, and said softly: "Wait for me to come back." After that, Gonggong An said loudly in front of him: "The Holy Lord is coming to the court!" ”
As soon as the holy driver left, Shen Wan changed into an indifferent face, from today onwards, she is no longer the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor is she no longer a prisoner under the stairs, but a little tea palace maid in Shangyang Palace.
When the emperor went to court, Shangyang Palace was the most slack, and when he had nothing to do, Shen Wan asked another tea palace maid for palace rules and etiquette. There are two maids in the Fengcha Palace, and they are all under the jurisdiction of the head of An.
The palace maid's name is Xiangming, and when she heard Shen Wan's word "ask for advice", she suddenly said: "I really don't dare to be, the slave maid has only been in the palace for three years, and the young lady has been in and out of the palace for more than ten years. ”
Shen Wan said lightly: "You don't have to be a young lady, I am no longer the Miss Xiangfu of the past, I am the same as you, I am a palace maid." ”
Xiang Ming still looked sincerely scared, and the dressing palace maid next to her smiled and said: "Ha, it's good that you know it yourself, Xiang Ming, why do you have to talk nonsense with her, she is now the daughter of a criminal minister, if it weren't for the emperor's mercy, she would have been used as an official maid a long time ago, how can she be allowed to ...... here"
Xiang Ming couldn't stop her, seeing that Shen Wan didn't speak, she only looked at her with cold eyes, she suddenly closed her mouth, and Xiang Ming hurriedly said: "If Miss wants to learn the knowledge in this tea, please let the slave and maid speak slowly, don't be like others." ”
The palace maid was frightened by the light of her eyes, and only kept her mouth shut for a while, but now she began to make noise again, and she did not leave the "daughter of a criminal minister" and "official maid". Xiangming looked at Shen Wan nervously, but Shen Wan looked indifferent, and finally the palace maid was bored and left in a huff.
Xiang Ming said with a smile: "Miss, don't take it to heart." ”
Shen Wan said indifferently: "If a person is about to die, I naturally won't take it to heart. ”
Xiangming was startled, and secretly glanced at Shen Wan, only to see her bow her head to make tea, her slender fingers twisting a few wisps of tea leaves, and slowly putting them into the bowl, her movements were gentle, as if she was not making tea, but like a dance of her fingertips, especially the gentleness of the bowed head, smooth sideburns, meticulous hair, fluttering long eyelashes, accompanied by a pink neck hanging down, for no reason it made people feel distressed.
How could such a wonderful person say such a terrible thing?
The dying man? How?
The dressing palace maid didn't see it for a while, and then she heard the sound of the queen mother driving, and Xiang Ming was startled and hurriedly went out to see the driver. I can't help but wonder in my heart, in the past, the Queen Mother never came here at this time, it was the time of the last dynasty, and it was the time for the concubines to say goodbye!
Kneeling on the ground and bowing, she saw the Queen Mother's brown skirt mixed with two rose red and rose purple skirts, swaying in, she immediately understood: The Queen Mother must have gotten the news and led a group of concubines to come, just for Shen Wan. At the moment, she was faintly worried about Shen Wan.
"Queen Mother, it's cold in the hall, let's wait in the warm pavilion!" This is Concubine Qing's voice, her voice is shrill and sharp, with a sharpness that pierces the sky, only in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, her voice is soft enough.
Today she is wearing a rose-red palace dress, the palace dress is blooming with a large group of bewitching roses, the gold thread is lace, the green silk is the leaf vein, the flowers are luxuriant, the care is shining, and the action is different.
She is extremely beautiful, her family is illustrious, and her father is the new secretary of the ministry, which is beneficial to the imperial power, so she is named Concubine Qing.
Another woman in purple palace dress is on par with her, her appearance is even better, and her voice is tactful, and the listeners all feel crisp and like. It's just that her position is not as good as Concubine Qing, just Zhaoyi, but her brother is a general in Yulin who grew up with the emperor, so she is also quite favored in the harem.
The two of them hugged the Queen Mother left and right into the warm pavilion, and Concubine Qing rushed outside and said, "Serve tea!" ”
Xiangming was just about to go in, but was stopped by Shen Wan, it turned out that she had made tea early, just waiting to meet the Queen Mother.
Concubine Qing saw someone bringing tea, smiled imperceptibly, and greeted her without waiting for her to get close, holding the tea bowl, and suddenly with an ouch, she tilted the tea bowl with her hand, and the hot tea immediately splashed on Shen Wan's hand.
Shen Wan's hand shook, but there was no squeak.
Concubine Qing turned back to the Queen Mother and smiled: "Queen Mother, look at this scares me, come and see, who does this palace maid look like?" ”
