After a few days in the suburbs, the empress and her entourage returned to the palace. Shangguan Wan went to the empress to serve, and she was just doing some ordinary work, no closer to the empress than Changchun, Qi Xin and Qi Qing.

Back in the palace, Shangguan Wan used the excuse of going back to the court to pack her things, and then returned to the court. Mama Chang has been waiting for a long time.

Shangguan Wan came to the house, and Mama Chang hurriedly took her hand and asked, "But did you do it?" ”

Shangguan Wan patted Mama Chang's hand in turn: "Well, it's done, now Her Majesty the Empress has ordered me to serve by her side, and I took the opportunity to come here to pack up my things so that I can be free." ”

Mama Chang had tears in her eyes: "The young pavilion master is very smart, I knew that you would succeed, there is Ji Xin to take care of it over there in Weiyang Palace, and I am also relieved, but if you get rid of this court, you don't have to come back often, so as not to be caught." ”

Shangguan Wan grew up in this court since she was a child, and she has long regarded Mama Chang as a family, and when she saw tears in the corners of Mama's eyes, she was also uncomfortable. After a pause, he said: "Mama doesn't have to be uncomfortable, I will definitely find a way to get you out of the palace."

A few days later, Lin Jiaotou met with the empress and was promoted to the commander of the forbidden army, but found that the forbidden army had great hidden dangers in both city defense and daily patrols. Lin Jiaotou entered the palace this time not as unrestrained as he was in the school field last time, and his dense beard was shaved off, but he looked much younger. Met Shen Changchun and Shangguan Wan outside the hall, Lin Jiaotou scratched his head embarrassedly and walked towards the two.

said to Shen Changchun: "Changchun, I entered the palace this time to meet His Majesty and say something about the forbidden army. ”

Shen Changchun just nodded slightly: "You don't have to report to me, the head of the sect has been promoted to the commander of the forbidden army, and Changchun is here to congratulate you, but Wan'er and I still have to go and pick some fresh flower tea for Your Majesty, so we won't gossip with Commander Lin here."

The head of the Lin sect seemed to have made a lot of determination, coughed and stammered: "Changchun, my family sent someone to your house to propose marriage, and your brother and sister-in-law agreed, and I will meet Your Majesty this time... Say about it too."

Changchun was a little angry and said: "How can the two of them decide my affairs, if you go to tell the empress about this matter today, I, Shen Changchun, will be cut off with you Lin Xu in this life." ”

Sect Leader Lin was helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "Then I won't say it in front of the saint this time, but you can't always stay in the palace for the rest of your life and not marry."

Shen Changchun said angrily: "Even if I don't marry someone for the rest of my life, I won't marry you."

With that, he pulled Wan'er and left quickly. Shangguan Wan saw that she was annoyed, so she opened her mouth to persuade: "If Sister Changchun doesn't want to marry, tell Your Majesty that Your Majesty loves you so much, how can you not listen to you." ”

Shen Changchun said: "It's not that I don't want to get married, I'm just me..."

Shangguan Wan quipped: "It turns out that Sister Changchun doesn't want to marry, that is, that's because she's shy" After speaking, Shangguan Wan ran away. Shen Changchun reacted: "You bad girl, you dare to tease me, see if I catch you and don't tickle you." ”

Shangguan Wan, who was running in front, was just thinking about it.

After coming back from picking tea, Shangguan Wan waited for Lin Jiaotou to come out at the gate of the palace.

Shangguan Wan saw Lin Jiaotou coming out, so she greeted him: "Lin Jiaotou, oh no, it should be called Lin Commander." ”

Lin Xu looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else next to Shangguan Wan, and he was a little lost, Shangguan Wan quipped: "Commander Lin is looking for Sister Changchun?" ”

Lin Xu scratched his head embarrassedly: "I really didn't reveal anything about the marriage proposal to the empress when I entered the palace, if the Shangguan female envoy saw Changchun, I would definitely tell her." ”

Shangguan Wan covered her mouth and snickered: "I will definitely help the commander pass on this, but if the commander wants to marry Sister Changchun, such a hard-hitting way will naturally disgust Sister Changchun." ”

Lin Xu smiled embarrassedly: "Our family has been in the army for generations, we are all big and coarse, where do we know what to spend before the moon, Changchun and I were originally childhood sweethearts, just because I didn't help her a few years ago, she entered the palace by chance and served by His Majesty's side, and I also joined the army, so there are not many opportunities to meet." I thought I could protect her for the rest of my life,"

Shangguan Wan said: "I look at the leader, he is loyal and honest, I just joked about my sister, and my sister is not unwilling to marry, I am afraid that there are still some knots in my heart that have not yet been unraveled." If the Commander wishes, I can help. ”

Lin Xu just bowed his hand: "If the official girl is willing to help, Lin Xu is grateful." ”

Shangguan Wan smiled: "Now that Commander Lin is the commander of the forbidden army, it is not difficult to come to this Weiyang Palace a few times under the pretext of coming to this Weiyang Palace a few times."

After speaking, he went to the teahouse in the palace. Lin Xu still scratched his head, but thinking that he had a chance to reconcile with Changchun, he smirked for a while, until the deputy general next to him reminded him, and then he came back to his senses.

The Weiyang Palace is much larger than the Imperial Court, and because it is the residence of the empress, it is full of splendor. There are all kinds of rare and famous teas in the tea room, and the water in the tea room is the dew collected by the palace people in the lotus pond of the Imperial Garden every day.

Changchun was sitting there, and Shangguan Wan walked over quietly, which startled Changchun.

"Sister, why are you in a daze by this window, I just talked to Commander Lin for a while," Shangguan Wan deliberately hung Changchun's appetite and said.

Shen Changchun's eyes widened and he was embarrassed to say directly: "Oh, just say it."

"Doesn't my sister want to know what was said? Do you really not want to? I'll leave if you don't want to."

Only then did Shen Changchun shout: "You quirky little girl, tell me quickly"

Shangguan Wan covered her mouth and smiled for a long time before saying: "Commander Lin said that my sister and he are childhood sweethearts, because he didn't help you a few years ago, and you entered the palace because of fate, he joined the army, so there are many fewer opportunities to meet." He also asked me to transfer you, and he didn't mention the matter of proposing marriage in front of His Majesty when he entered the palace this time. ”

Shen Changchun asked without thinking, "Why didn't he mention it to the empress?" ”

Shangguan Wan sat down and joked with a smile: "Didn't my sister not let Commander Lin tell the empress, how could I listen to my sister's meaning, but I thought I would let Commander Lin say it." ”

Shen Changchun bowed his head and was silent.

After a long time, he put down the tea in his hand, stood up and said: "Wan'er, I see that you and I am very close to each other, but it is like my little sister next door, I used to have a sister, I was as eccentric as you when I was a child, my sister guarded me and protected me, my aunt died of weakness after giving birth to me, if it wasn't for my sister to protect me, I am afraid I have been trampled to death by the concubines in my father's backyard." ”

Shangguan Wan naturally knew about Shen Changchun's sister, but now she had to pretend: "Then Sister Changchun's sister should have promised someone a long time ago."

Shen Changchun smiled: "My sister has passed away, otherwise I wouldn't have entered the palace." In the past few months since you came to Weiyang Palace, we have met every day, but we have also fallen in love with you, not to mention that the matter has long been understood, and it will not set off any waves. Sister, I was defiled by Wu Hang when I was drunk, how could our Shen family afford to provoke him, not to mention my daughter's innocent reputation, if she sued the official, the reputation of my Shen family would be damaged. I wanted to kill Wu Hangrang with my own hands, at that time I was a childhood sweetheart with Lin Xu, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so I begged him to go with me to assassinate that Wu Hangrang. At that time, I was too naïve, bent on revenge, and regardless of the consequences, he stopped me. Later, because of fate, I was brought into the palace to serve by the queen at that time, that is, the current majesty, because of the good performance of a song at the banquet. Lin Xu and I never saw each other again. ”

Shangguan Wan stood up and took Shen Changchun's hand: "Sister Changchun, tell me this, I will not leak half a point, but Commander Lin is also for your safety, as well as the safety of the Shen family and the Lin family, so he can't help you." Now this Wu Hang Rang is dead. The past is long gone."

Changchun turned around and rubbed Shangguan Wan's head: "I have been arrogant since I was a child, so naturally I won't bow my head for half a minute, what about me, as soon as he comes, I promised him that I have to dry him for a while, and he knows that women are precious, and I can't despise me for half a point in the future." ”

In the past few days, Commander Lin has come to see His Majesty every day, and His Majesty has seen something. Shangguan Wan and Shen Changchun were both on duty that day. After Lin Xu finished talking about the forbidden army.

The empress smiled and said, "Commander Lin, didn't you fall in love with the female envoy beside me?" Why have you come to see me every day these days, I'm afraid it's not for the sake of the forbidden army."

Commander Lin stammered, just staring at Shen Changchun speechless.

The empress looked at Commander Lin's eyes and laughed a few times: "Did Commander Lin take a fancy to Changchun, last time I played a juju competition, I think you seem to have something to say."

Commander Lin's face turned red and he was a little embarrassed: "Minister, minister..."

Shangguan Wan secretly spoke.

Commander Lin stumbled and said: "The minister grew up with Changchun since he was a child, and he went to the Shen family a few days ago to propose marriage, and her brother and sister-in-law have agreed, and the minister just wants to ask His Majesty for a will these days, but the minister is a little nervous, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

The empress looked at Changchun beside her and asked, "Oh? You and Commander Lin are childhood sweethearts? ”

When Shen Changchun saw the empress asking, he had no choice but to admit: "Yes, the slave maid and Commander Lin grew up together since childhood."

The empress smiled lovingly: "When I was still the queen, Changchun entered the palace to serve me, and now a few years have passed, if I get a good family, I will not let people go, so in this case, I will allow you two to marry." ”

Commander Lin and Shen Changchun should both be thanked.

Back in the room, Shen Changchun was sulking, Shangguan Wan went up and coaxed: "My good sister, this Commander Lin comes to Weiyang Palace every day to ask His Majesty for peace, even others can see that Commander Lin is probably interested in which female envoy, not to mention that Your Majesty is so smart, how could he not think of it." ”

Shen Changchun just said: "Then he will succeed too easily."

Shangguan Wan looked at Changchun in front of her, and felt in her heart that although everyone said that Shen Changchun was deeply liked by the empress, she cooked many people for the empress. But now she's still a little girl.

That night, when the official was on duty, she groomed the empress and said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have something to ask for, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins."

The empress closed her eyes and Shangguan Wan behind her was rubbing her forehead for her.

She said slowly, "Just say it."

Shangguan Wan knelt down and replied: "Sister Changchun and I hit it off at first sight, now she is going to get married, as a palace maid and slave, there is nothing to get her hands on, only a little brain is still bright, can Your Majesty allow me to create a surprise for my sister with Commander Lin in the Imperial Garden, so that my sister can marry happily, even if it is a congratulatory gift from my sister."

The empress opened her eyes and smiled: "Changchun has been by my side for many years, you are very clever, I will allow you, just let Cao Huanzhi bring some eunuchs and palace maids to you to call." I look at Commander Lin, but he is also a person who has been entrusted with his life. ”

Shangguan Wan, who got the holy decree, was also busy, Shen Changchun couldn't see Shangguan Wan all day, and he didn't know who to confide in the emotions of the boudoir who was originally to be married.

On that day, Shangguan Wan asked Qi Xin to find Shen Changchun, and went into the garden to cover Shen Changchun's eyes with a silk handkerchief, the pavilion had already been arranged with a soft and delicate veil, and the flowers were paved with the path that Shen Changchun walked.

Invited people from the music workshop from the palace, the song sounded loudly, Shen Changchun opened the silk handkerchief, and the palace maids around him were scattering flowers, and the petals floated all over the sky and fell on Shen Changchun's shoulders.

Lin Xu walked out of the pavilion, holding the bracelet his mother had given him.

Walked up to her: "This is the token we have always passed on to the head of the house, my mother brought it to me and asked me to give it to you, are you willing?" ”

Shen Changchun saw him go to such great lengths, and his face turned red: "You idiot, now that the empress has given you a marriage, why do you bother to ask me?"

Lin Xu scratched his head embarrassedly: "I am a soldier, I only know how to lead soldiers, I naturally don't understand those winds and snows, but I swear that I will be good to you, and I will not let you take risks alone like before."

Shen Changchun nodded and stretched out his hand. Lin Xu put the bracelet on for her.

Even Qi Xin said: "This is the most beautiful time that Sister Changchun laughs." ”

Lin Xu took Shen Changchun and went to Shangguan Wan: "Thank you to the female envoy of Shangguan for asking for the will, otherwise I would not have thought of such a troubled thing." ”

Shen Changchun looked at the surrounding decorations very beautifully, and the petals on the ground were also flying in the wind, and said with a smile: "I said that I haven't seen your shadow recently, it turns out that I am helping the nerd to work."

Shangguan Wan took Shen Changchun's hand and said: "Sister Changchun and I hit it off at first sight, I am a slave, and I don't have any congratulatory gifts to give, just like Your Majesty has asked for a will, so it should be regarded as a congratulatory gift from me to the two of you."

Changchun's eyes were red, and Shangguan Wan patted her hands. Although she strategizes by herself, Changchun treats her very well, but fortunately, Commander Lin can let her entrust her for life, if she wants to get everything she wants, she must sit in the position of the most personal female official beside His Majesty.

In the distance, the second prince and the third prince saw the current scene, and the second prince asked: "This little palace maid is eccentric, and this Changchun sister can rarely be moved once, that is Shangguan Wan, who was pardoned by the queen mother in the last Keju competition?" ”

The eunuch next to him replied, "Exactly"

The second prince said: "It's also interesting. ”

After a month, Shen Changchun went home to get married, and the empress personally ordered Shangguan Wan to go to the ceremony to express her congratulations, and by the way, Shangguan Wan was named a female official of Weiyang Palace. became the second female official after Shen Changchun. And Shangguan Wan begged for a decree to let him take care of his young grandmother in the court and leave the palace to retire, and the empress readily agreed.

Outside the palace, Mama Chang got into the carriage, and Shangguan Wan said: "Mama, and live in Beijing with peace of mind, if you want to go back to Yangzhou, people from Yuyaofang or Chengyixuan can send you." Wan'er has done it now, don't worry, Mama. The days are still long. ”

Mama Chang's eyes were red: "I hope that the young pavilion master will take care of his body, my wife will go to live in Chengyixuan, and I will need a place for our wife in the future, just pass on the message." ”

The carriage walked away, Shangguan Wan'er returned to the palace, the moon was bright, she looked up at the sky, the stars were twinkling. Exhale.

Becoming a personal officer is only the first step.
