Chapter Twenty-Eight: Shen Fang
Xiaodong actually wanted to go out, the weather was warm, and she had been covering the house for a winter, and she was afraid that small mushrooms would grow on the top of her head.
She pulled Hu Shi, but this time Hu Shi didn't follow her.
"Not yet." Hu said: "It's still early, and the peach blossoms haven't even bloomed." ”
Yao Jinfeng muttered in a low voice: "In our place, the peach blossoms will be thanked at this time......"
Yes, she's from the South.
Shen Qiang, who is quite lively, compares with Yao Jinfeng, cough, it is like a well-behaved chicken raised in the house and a wild free-range chicken...... Phew, what an analogy. Okay, but the meaning is right.
Shen Qiang and Xiaodong learned calligraphy together, and then-the spring was long, both of them were sleepy, and they took a nap together. Shen Qiang yawned and said, "I heard that this sister Yao's mother is not Han......
Hu Shi sat aside and took the words: "Miss Yao grew up in a place like Suizhou, and she may have never been restrained by a deep mansion like ours, so she is not used to it for a while, but it will be good after a long time." ”
Xiao Dong was drowsy, Hu came over to tuck the quilt for her, and whispered to Hong Aya: "Prepare the things that will enter the palace tomorrow." ”
Not? Is it the ninth day again?
Since the Queen Mother fell ill years ago, Xiaodong has not been to ask for peace. Although she went into the palace with the crowd during the New Year, the black pressure was full of people, and the Queen Mother sat on it and received a salute, and said a few words, Xiao Dong didn't see her clearly.
On the morning of the ninth day of the first month, Xiaodong entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother.
This is the first time she has seen the Empress Dowager Shengde in these months, and she almost dare not recognize it.
The Empress Dowager Shengde was like two people compared to a few months ago, so thin that her clothes couldn't hold up, and the whole person was about to be overwhelmed by the brocade clothes she was wearing, the two pieces of flesh on her cheeks hung weakly, the corners of her mouth and eyes were full of wrinkles, and she seemed to have aged for twenty years all at once.
What kind of disease is this?
She squinted slightly, and the person on the side reminded her, and the hand she put on her lap raised slightly, signaling Xiao Dong to get up, and did not speak.
The queen, Ming Guifei, Zhang Jieyu, these few people Xiaodong recognized, and there were more ** concubines and clan wives who didn't know to serve in front of the queen mother, and the three princesses were also there.
The Empress Dowager was not there.
Xiao Dong remembers her very much, I heard that she is not a small illness, I don't know if she has not recovered, and she did not show up today.
Xiao Dong saw Shen Fang standing behind the fourth princess at a glance, she was wearing bamboo blue clothes, pale and inconspicuous in the splendid Qiluo full of rooms.
No one noticed, and Xiao Dong walked towards her.
"Sister Fang."
"County Lord."
Be polite like a stranger.
Maybe she has her own discomfort.
Shen Fang lost weight, her chin was pointy, and the apricot-like flush on her face before was no longer visible, her face was powdered, but she could vaguely see the green circles under her eyes.
It's not easy to live in the palace.
Xiao Dong sympathized in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.
The whole hall was buzzing like the ebb and flow of the tide, and many people were speaking, some clear and some vague, and sometimes suddenly a word popped into the ears, without a beginning or an end. "It can be seen that this outsider just can't believe it...... or "Ah, this embroidery is really good, and I can't find a second ...... in the capital" and so on, Xiao Dong suddenly felt dazed and frightened in such a crowd. Red Aya was left outside the door, and it was only her who was here.
Perhaps, Shen Fang was also the same fear and dazed in his heart.
Xiao Dong took Shen Fang's hand: "Sister Fang, where do you live?" I'd like to take a look. ”
Shen Fang was stunned and turned her head to look at the fourth princess first.
The fourth princess nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then you accompany Sister Xiaodong to take a look, be careful, don't let her stumble." The tone was exactly like instructing the palace maid.
Xiao Dong said sweetly: "Thank you, Fourth Sister." ”
Shen Fang took her hand and walked out of the palace gate, and Hong Aya and Hu immediately followed, greeting Shen Fang first: "Hello cousin." ”
They also saw that Shen Fang had lost a lot of weight, but the words "how did you clear the weight" couldn't be asked casually in the palace.
Shen Fang nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing in the palace?" ”
"It's all good."
Shen Fang and Xiao Dong walked forward, Xiao Dong wanted to talk, but he didn't know what to say.
Ask her how she is doing? She must have said yes.
If you want to say that you are doing well, there is another cousin at home - Shen Fang doesn't like to listen to it.
Fortunately, she finally remembered what she could talk about.
"Sister Qiang wants me to bring you snacks, but I can't bring these into the palace. She said hello, she was fine, and asked you not to worry about her. Xiao Dong thought hard about what Shen Qiang said at that time: "She said that when I enter school, we can still see each other every day." ”
Shen Fang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she was busy stroking her hair to cover it up.
"Well, you talk to her, and I miss her too. Tell her not to be naughty, next time I see how I have to test her handwriting, if it's better than before, I'm going to hit her palm. Let her not be playful, and don't go crazy and talk nonsense......"
Xiao Dong poured his ears and hurriedly said, "Slow down, I can't even remember." ”
Hong Aya added with a smile in the back: "Don't worry, the county lord, Mother Hu and I will help you remember it, you can't miss it." ”
Hu Shi also smiled, and Xiao Dong touched his head.
Shen Fang's eyes finally had a real smile.
In this palace, not only can you not speak casually, but you don't even have your own joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
God bless the fourth princess to recruit a colt quickly, as soon as she gets married, Shen Fang will be free.
But...... But Xiao Dong was optimistic for less than a moment, and then thought of another possibility.
What if the Queen Mother also pointed out a family affair to Shen Fang?
It's not impossible, according to the news Xiaodong heard, to sum up, the queen mother still likes to be a matchmaker. If you are really pointed at, what if the other party is not satisfied?
Or, let Shen Fang get sick? If you are sick, you can't study with you, and you can go home-
But how can illness be so good?
The house where Shen Fang lives is not facing the sun, it is a large room, the middle is separated from the inside and outside, and the outside is simply furnished, Xiao Dong looked at the inner room, the window is very small, and the room looks very dark. Just a bed, a desk, a suitcase – nothing else.
This residence can only be said to be better than the palace maid, but ......
Xiao Dong didn't look at it anymore, Shen Fang went to bring the pot and poured tea for her, and Hong Aya hurriedly took over: "I'll come, I'll come." ”
This tea doesn't taste like tea at all.
Xiao Dong knew that when Shen Fang entered the palace, King An prepared a reward for her or something, I'm afraid that even this tea with no tea taste will cost money, right?
Shen Fang is a relative of King An's Mansion, but Princess Shen has died long ago after all, and the Shen family in Hedong is known to be famous, but it has no power in the court.
"I'm not in the house during the day, so I don't light a charcoal pot." Shen Fang explained: "I don't lack anything, and the fourth princess is also kind to others. ”
No one can say that the princess treats people unkindly.
Being a companion reader, in fact, is the same as half a subordinate.
Although Shen Fang is not a pampered girl, it must be the first time she has suffered like this.
Xiao Dong pitied her in his heart, but he was a little vaguely happy.
If she's not the county lord......
Xiao Dong took two sips of tea and untied his small purse for Shen Fang.
It was she who pinched a bead chain and put the bead in. The purse was the size of her palm, and it was stuffed with several large pearls.
"Ah, this can't be ......" Shen Fang refused.
Xiao Dong didn't say a word to her, and she didn't know what to say, so she simply held back a sentence: "The poor family is rich, you take it." ”
Hong Aya also felt sad, but when she heard this, she laughed: "County Lord, that's not how you use this, right?" ”
They wanted to leave, but Shen Fang was reluctant.
Xiao Dong said: "I'm going to see the Empress Dowager Shengci, will you go too?" ”
Shen Fang hesitated: "I'...... Go back to the fourth princess. ”
Xiao Dong watched her walk slowly along the palace road alone, her back was slender, as if a strong wind could blow her away.
She turned around and said, "Let's go too." "I was very worried when I didn't see Shen Fang, but I wasn't happy at all after seeing it.
