Everyone was talking lively, and an old princess of the palace who had a lot of status in the royal family suddenly asked: "The royal family incense should be prosperous, but now there is only one queen in the harem, and the queen is so young, I wonder if the concubine has the intention to arrange a general election for the emperor, so that the royal family can spread out?" ”

Jingshu glanced at her coldly, anyway, these princesses and ladies all know what her background Song Jingshu is, no one really looks up to her, she doesn't really have to become a respected harem elder, as long as the emperor says that she is a concubine, it is enough, so if the royal family is scattered, she doesn't have to worry about it.

But she met a few sisters who were still in the palace music workshop yesterday, all of them were as young and beautiful as her, although Jingshu and Xiangxiang were the best among the sisters, but the class master chose someone to send to the palace, and it would not be bad.

Her original intention was to hope that the emperor would not always use her to vent his anger, but the old princess suddenly mentioned the heir, she realized that these women can give birth to children to the emperor, if one of the sisters gave birth to a boy and half a girl, and they and Xiangxiang also have old friends, and have never had a bad relationship, will the emperor no longer need her, once she has no use value, what will be the end?

"Concubine Niang?" Someone urged Jingshu to be in a daze, she trembled, and shook the tea in her hand and shook her skirt.

The palace maids stepped forward to clean up for the concubine, she was at the mercy of nothing, without the temperament and demeanor that the imperial concubine should have, many people in the banquet covered their mouths and snickered, the little queen looked at the concubine coldly, she knew best what the concubine was, at this moment Shi Shiran said: "The matter of the general election, and after the funeral of the first emperor, the palace and the concubine are free to arrange." ”

Speaking of which, the emperor passed away for a few days, but the palace was not busy with the funeral of the first emperor, the coffin of the old emperor was still stopped in the imperial city and did not mourn, there was no crying spirit and no memorial, it is said that the emperor said to the minister that the first emperor had a will, and the gold and silver of the funeral were saved for people's livelihood, and the funeral was simple. There is no way to verify whether this is true or false, only what the new monarch says, it is.

Now that the emperor has ascended the throne for a big wedding and a banquet, some people have almost forgotten that there is also a funeral for the first emperor, but some people have been thinking about it, such as the old marquis of Jianfu, who is angry about it.

When the banquet was held in the palace, Shen Yan had already come to the palace, and Juan Er was still by her side, and when she first saw Xiangxiang, she saluted respectfully, and then gradually became warm again, and said to Xiangxiang: "The slave maid has long felt that Madame is different, and we are not all the way. ”

Shen Yan was disgusted: "The past is over, don't go around talking to people." ”

Xiangxiang didn't care, and took Shen Yan to walk up and down the palace, tidy up the courtyard that Qi Hui had seen before, and then asked Mr. to live and use it as a classroom for her to study, and told her that there were many institutions in this house.

Shen Yan's master and servant saw that the ladder in the attic would be lowered by itself, they were greatly surprised, she had only seen the legend of the machine in the books, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of Confucianism, the former glorious Mo family was silent for a while, and the earth-shattering machine art recorded in the text was very exaggerated in Shen Yan's opinion. Hearing Xiangxiang say that the ladders and crossbow carts used by the imperial army are all from the Mu family, I know that the legend is true.

Xiangxiang frightened Juan Juan'er and said: "Don't mess around, maybe you will touch some mechanism, and you will be locked in the cellar, and when the time comes, you should not call the earth and the earth not to work, we don't even know where you are, how can we save you?" ”

Juan Er was honest, she was really frightened, and pulled Shen Yan and said, "Miss, the slave has to follow you every day." ”

After the joke, Shen Yan asked Juan Er to put out all the books and pen and ink she brought, she knew that Xiangxiang was going to concentrate on learning, and she was more prepared than she had for Miss Pang at the beginning. And the most books in Jian's Mansion are books, this time two boxes were moved, Shen Yan picked out a copy of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" to Xiangxiang and said: "Ghost myths all originate from this, poems and songs are too boring, I will teach you to read more interesting books, it is not uncommon to be able to recite poems, and it is the ability to run through the past and the present." ”

Xiangxiang can't put it down. Shen Yan even said that although she taught Xiangxiang to be silent when she didn't know how to deal with a big occasion, silence was a good cover-up, but this trick couldn't be used often. Once or twice others think that you are noble and elegant, after a long time, you should understand that you have a few pounds and a few taels, in the final analysis, you can be strong yourself, in order to be truly fearless and smile at the wind and clouds.

In this way, Concubine Xian also taught Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang held the book given to her by her husband, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart, but Shen Yan knocked lightly on her forehead and said with a smile: "The master is going to test you, have you forgotten what you learned before?" She looked around and joked, "Everything is good here, but a ring ruler is missing." ”

Juan Er hurriedly stopped: "Miss, now she is a princess, she can't be beaten." ”

The three of them were laughing, and Xiangxiang's maid came running inexplicably, saying that the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was here. The people in front of the door asked her to wait for a while, but the eldest lady insisted on rushing in, most of the people here were arranged by Pang Jun earlier, and the other part was also sent by Shifeng, it can be said that he was originally from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful to the eldest lady. It's just the same as when Xiangxiang first came, the road here seems simple but not easy to find, Pang Qianyou hasn't broken into here yet, and the maids got the news first.

Xiangxiang wondered: "Isn't she sick, how can she have the strength to come here?" Mrs. Pang, how could they let her out? ”

Shen Yan said: "Today, the queen held a banquet in the middle palace, and the royal family and the ministers were all invited to go, and the aunt was unhappy and did not go, maybe Mrs. Pang and the young lady went." ”

Xiangxiang raised her hand and gently held her hair bun, and smoothed her clothes, Fang Cai and Mr. The smiling and coquettish look had dissipated from her face, and she said calmly to the maid: "Let's go out, this is the study, it is the residence of Mr., and it is not appropriate for outsiders to disturb it." ”

Here, Juan gently pulled the sleeve of the young lady's shirt and asked, "Are we going?" ”

Shen Yan shook her head and said: "This is Prince Shuo's Mansion, we are guests, if Madame wants us to go, it will not be too late to go." ”

After Xiangxiang instructed his subordinates, he said to Shen Yan: "Sir, wait a while, I'll come when I go." After thinking about it, he said, "Sir, don't worry, I won't hurt Miss Pang, now I have a family and a husband, everything is fine, she is the poor one, except for the husband who can't let me, I can endure other things." ”

Shen Yan has nothing to worry about, her fate with Qianyou is over, even her uncle said that meeting Xiangxiang can make her truly experience how to be a teacher, so she calmed down and cleaned up the house with Juan'er, compared to vacating a room in the boudoir of Pangfu, the entire courtyard here is used as her residence, and sure enough, Qi Hui and Xiangxiang are more sincere.

At this time, Xiangxiang had already walked away, and calmly walked out along the corridor with the maid, and saw a person sitting on the railing in front of him from a distance, and several servants of the palace were waiting on the side. When Xiangxiang approached, he only saw a weak person leaning against the beam, her face was gray and her lips were bloodless, obviously very sick, Xiangxiang couldn't care so much, and ordered his subordinates: "Send the young lady to the guest room first, and ask the doctor to come." ”

Pang Qianyou rushed over with enthusiasm, first lost his temper with the people in front of the palace, broke in and walked around a few times but couldn't find anyone, and spent all his strength, at this time, she had the heart to refuse, and she was powerless to resist, when she woke up in a groggy state, more than an hour had passed.

There was a faint aroma in the unfamiliar room, her eyes flashed, and her beautiful cheeks flickered in front of her, it was Xiangxiang who asked her: "Miss, are you awake?" ”

"Where am I?" Asa struggled to sit up.

"In Prince Shuo's Mansion." Xiangxiang took a hand, "You have a fever, it's best not to run around anymore, the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion are already waiting outside, and I can take you home now." ”

Qianyou stared at Xiangxiang and looked her up and down, Xiangxiang did not wear gorgeous clothes, I don't know if it was for the emperor's funeral, or for the filial piety of the virtuous concubine, she was wearing a plain white robe. But now it is different from the past, even if the clothes are plain, it is also a luxurious silk brocade, the gold and silver threads are decorated with pearls, and more importantly, the green silk coiled hair, she is married to a wife.

"When did you marry her, when you were in our house, you were already married to her?" There were tears in her eyes, and the scene of her and Xiangxiang laughing seemed to be just yesterday, and Xiangxiang was beaten for her, but such a person turned out to be the wife of her sweetheart for a long time.

"At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and I had to take refuge in the Prime Minister's Mansion, these things are a long story, and I think the third prince can explain it more clearly than me." Xiangxiang said gently and calmly, "I'm really sorry to deceive the eldest lady." But Mr. Shen was asked by Master Jane halfway before agreeing to help with this, it doesn't matter if Miss doesn't forgive us, please don't misunderstand Mr. Shen. ”

"Misunderstanding is not misunderstanding, can it change anything?" Qianyou didn't want to show weakness in front of Xiangxiang, but she couldn't stop her tears, what did she do, why did she break here, just to let people deal with herself with the posture of a housewife? She is at home, she can make trouble up and down, she comes to someone else's house, what qualifications does she have?

Xiangxiang couldn't help but feel pity when she saw that she wasn't noisy or noisy, but just shed tears, and Qianyou finally held back a sentence and said: "I have liked him for more than ten years, and the first time I saw him, I decided to be his wife, why not me?" ”

Xiangxiang doesn't understand what kind of emotions childhood sweethearts have, when she was a child, she spent time in beatings and exercises, but she guessed that her childhood sweetheart's emotions must be very beautiful, she still doesn't think that Miss Pang is wrong to fall in love with Qi Hui, it's just that her father-in-law, her man, no one will let her.

Xiangxiang didn't answer, and ordered his subordinates: "Let someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion pick up the eldest lady." ”

Qianyou didn't have to resist, she wouldn't be ashamed to make a fuss in someone else's house, it was already very embarrassing to break in inexplicably, she understood that what was waiting for her back home would be her mother's anger, but when she was carried out, she seemed to stare at Xiangxiang with hatred, and said: "You must be good to him." ”

Xiangxiang was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know how to respond, so he silently followed the person out until he sent the eldest lady away. When she returned to the study, Mr. and Juan Er had already made the place neat, Shen Yan came up and asked her how she was, but Xiangxiang asked, "Sir, do you know what a childhood sweetheart is like?" ”
