Chapter Twenty-Three: Coming from the East

Shen Yunzhen stared at Qingluo for a while and did not speak.

"What's wrong? Am I not right? Qingluo asked.

"Concubine Jiang Xian has a close relationship with Su Zhaoyi, and the emperor has always favored Su Zhaoyi today. Then why did Concubine Jiang Xian openly show favor to Concubine Shu in front of Su Zhaoyi? Shen Yun really didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"This ......" Qingluo couldn't answer.

"You mean, Concubine Jiang Xian is acting at all?" Tian Meiren said tentatively.

"That's right, she didn't speak for Concubine Shu at all." Shen Yunzhen said categorically.

"I don't understand." Qing Luo's eyes widened.

"She's pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." Shen Yunzhen smiled: "This virtuous concubine seems to know the temper of the concubine well. Just now, she was ostensibly helping Concubine Shu to embarrass me, but she was actually fanning the flames. Don't you see that the more Concubine Xian speaks, the more angry Concubine Shu becomes. ”

Tian Meiren nodded: "Yes, the emperor made Concubine Shu lose a lot of face today, if Concubine Shu is really smart, she shouldn't lose her temper in front of the emperor." Although she is angry at Ah Zhen, in the eyes of the emperor, it may not be like this. ”

"So, Concubine Jiang Xian is helping us?" Qingluo covered his mouth.

Shen Yunzhen didn't answer, it doesn't matter if Concubine Jiang Xian is an enemy or a friend, the important thing is that she is such a scheming woman.

"From today onwards, beauties should be more careful, and now, the eyes of the palace are staring at the beauties." Shen Yunzhen said.

……

Concubine Shu rode through the imperial garden in a sedan chair, looking at the plum blossoms on the side of the road, and her heart was panicked. Red Plum Banquet, Red Plum Banquet, it is clearly the Hongmen Banquet!

"Lady Niangniang, please stay!"

Hearing the voice of Donglai from afar, Concubine Shu also pretended not to hear it, the sedan chair staggered in front, and Donglai dragged his fat legs to chase behind. Until he caught up in front of him, Donglai was already sweating profusely.

Concubine Shu hooked the corners of her mouth, and looked at him pretending to be a stranger: "What's wrong with Donglai father-in-law?" Running in such a hurry? But what's the matter? ”

Donglai also knew that Concubine Shu was deliberately tossing him, but he didn't dare to attack on his face, so he just said gently: "Back to Niangniang, the emperor asked the slave to send a reward to Niangniang." A pair of plum blossom pillows with a green jade core. ”

What's this called? I lost face at the red plum banquet, and now I will reward a pair of Kodama pillows. Could it be that you think of yourself as a kitten or a puppy? When you're happy, touch it twice, and if you're not happy, kick it away, and give a piece of dried meat to coax it back?

Concubine Shu's face was faint: "There is Father-in-law Lao, this palace will go to thank the emperor another day." ”

"Niangniang, this green jade ......"

Concubine Shu didn't even look at Donglai, she just said go, and the sedan chair staggered in front of Donglai.

Donglai stood in the cold wind, and he still had half a sentence in his mouth. He straightened his back, took the handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

A little eunuch behind him muttered: "This lady is too arrogant, the chief manager is a celebrity around the emperor, and she has to eat her so coldly." ”

"Even the jade pillow that the emperor personally appreciated didn't take to heart, not to mention that we are slaves."

Donglai frowned, turned around and kicked at the two eunuchs, and his voice was an octave higher: "Who taught you to talk about the master behind your back?" Something that doesn't know the rules! The master is the master, you two nasty things, you will never be on the stage! ”

Yun Xi snorted, looked up at Concubine Shu and said, "Niangniang, the little eunuch is scolding the idle street behind his back!" Shall the slave and maid teach them a lesson? ”

Concubine Shu half-closed her eyes and said lazily: "Something without roots is just a little plaything at the emperor's feet, and I really think of myself as a celebrity." Seeing that the emperor snubbed the palace, they also fell into the well. If you take care of these dogs and people, this palace will let them know sooner or later. ”

Yun Xi held the green jade pillow and thought of tricks to make Concubine Shu happy: "Niangniang, look, the emperor is still thinking about Niangniang in his heart." In addition to the emperor, who has such a pair of treasures in the palace? Take green jade as a pillow ......"

"Don't talk about it." Concubine Shu scolded in annoyance.

Yunxi bit her lip: "Niangniang......"

"Don't you be ashamed to talk too much about this?" Concubine Shu glanced sideways.

Hongmei Yan said that she was invited alone, but in fact, she called the palace to come up and down to see her, and stepped on one in front of everyone, obviously deliberately embarrassing her. What else did the imperial dining room give a banquet to the Xiao family, presumably the Su family was indispensable.

Concubine Shu bit her lip and rubbed the handkerchief in her hand. Thinking of Su Zhaoyi's face, she got angry, and the villain got the ambition once, and almost pouted his tail to the sky!

Yun Xi held the box, carefully observed Concubine Shu's face, and said: "The emperor was just confused by the fox, and when the emperor came back to his senses, he remembered the mother." Their Su family is a small family, and our Xiao family doesn't take it at all. Besides, how can she be favored by Su Zhaoyi, can she surpass our Baohua Palace? She is just a Zhaoyi, and Niangniang is the head of the four concubines! ”

Concubine Shu was silent, and raised her chin arrogantly.

Yun Xi saw that Concubine Shu's anger seemed to have subsided a little, and said, "Niangniang didn't see it today? Concubine Jiang Xian was courting her mother, and helped her mother speak several times. Even Concubine Jiang Xian, who was good friends with Su Zhaoyi on weekdays, turned to her mother, which shows that the people in the palace are still bright-eyed, and they can see who is the star in the sky and who is the light of the candle, Su Zhaoyi's flower will not bloom for long. ”

Concubine Shu's smile gradually spread to the corner of her lips: "If the people in this palace are as sensible as Concubine Jiang Xian, this palace will not be so hard to manage the six palaces." ”

The sedan chair was driven out of the Imperial Garden, leaving only a series of chaotic and rugged footprints on the snow.

Shen Yunzhen hadn't added ginger juice to Li Qiusheng's medicine for more than a month, and his injuries healed exceptionally quickly this month. Because it's winter, the wound doesn't like to be inflamed.

After the Red Plum Banquet, Li Qiusheng's injuries were basically neat, but he was a little disabled and walked lame. On weekdays, he walked in front, and there was a doctor behind him who had the courage to learn from his lameness, Li Qiusheng turned his head and scolded, and everyone laughed and dispersed.

This beating simply knocked Li Qiusheng back to his original form, without the trust of Concubine Shu, without the prestige of the past, and even became a cripple. From time to time, he heard a doctor girl whispering a few words, and Li Qiusheng also felt that they were slandering themselves, and it was only finished after three or five lion roars and retreated.

Shen Yunzhen was dangling in front of Li Qiusheng's eyes every day, slippery like a fish that couldn't be caught. Although Li Qiusheng always believed that it was Shen Yun who really caused him to suffer these boards, he couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy she used.

wanted to find some mistakes in medical skills to punish Shen Yunzhen, but he didn't have a chance, and Tian Meiren blindly protected him, so much hatred made Li Qiusheng grit his teeth.

Li Qiusheng dangled in the hospital for a long time, and his eyes fell on Dongxiang's body.
