Chapter 68: Enter the Palace
Gong Ling took in everything, and when he saw Qin Xiyan alone, he stepped forward and sneered: "Our prince of the world, now that Shen Qingru is fascinated by that fox spirit, there is no one else in his eyes." ”
After speaking, I remembered that I was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. His face froze slightly, and then returned to normal.
Qin Xiyan just didn't hear the language in her words. lowered his eyebrows and said: "The relationship between the prince and the princess is good, and I am happy for them." ”
Gong Ling sneered, twisted his waist and left.
When she was in the palace before, she still regarded Qin Xiyan as an opponent. Looking at it now, it's useless.
The next day, Ji Lingyuan really went to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion to propose marriage.
I don't know how Shen Wanru and Shen Ningru said to the Fang family yesterday, although Fang's face was not good, they finally agreed.
Don't say that the Fang family is not happy, the Duchess of Ming Guo is not happy.
It's really unlucky, it's easy to persuade Ji Lingyuan not to worry about Shen Ningru, and this time I'm going to marry Shen Wanru again.
It's just that Ji Lingyuan said this time that Shen Wanru didn't marry, and after a night of trouble, the Duchess of Mingguo was such a precious son, and finally agreed.
The affairs of the two are not glorious, and the Duchess of Mingguo is not very happy, and the marriage of the two is very urgent, April 12, which can be worth a month.
Although because of the Fang family, Shen Kuo was neglected for a period of time with his two daughters, but in the end, he was raised from childhood to adulthood. Just marrying into someone else's family in such a hurry, Shen Kuo didn't feel good in his heart.
specially asked Shen Wanru if she wanted to postpone the marriage, but Shen Wanru agreed to it. Shen Kuo was disappointed, so he stopped caring about this matter.
In addition, Shen Qingru won the matter of the lord of Ruochan, and for a while, everyone in the capital was talking about the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.
Who let the parties involved in the two things come from the Hou Mansion.
Shen Kuo was also brought out and ridiculed.
It is said that Ning Yuanhou has done nothing all his life, and when he is middle-aged, he has been stained with the light of several daughters.
It's no wonder that people say sour things. The Shen family's family is in Kyoto, which is full of powerful people, and it is not high. And since Mrs. Shen, it has gone downhill.
Shen Mingru married the Ningguo Mansion, and Shen Wanru married the Mingguo Mansion. One is the Queen Mother's mother's family, and the other is Princess Kang's mother's family. It's enviable.
Shen Qingru also married into Prince Xiao's mansion and became Xiao Yuan's concubine. Up and down the capital, who doesn't want to be Xiao Yuan's father-in-law, Shen Kuo is cheaper, which really makes many people jealous.
The three daughters of the Shen family are each married, and there is still one Shen Ningru left. made everyone joke that if there is no national public status or above, they dare not go to the Shen family to propose marriage.
The person who said this meant to be ridiculous. Passed into the ears of the Duchess of Mingguo, the Duchess of Mingguo sneered, but people didn't even look down on the Duchess of the Kingdom. If you don't have a throne, don't go and shame yourself.
Shen Qingru is here, and the lord of Ruochan County gave her a post the next day, saying that she was not happy with yesterday's competition, and she hopes to compete again.
Shen Qingru ignored it directly, because there was something more important waiting for her.
The palace concubine sent someone to the palace and invited Concubine Xiao Shifei into the palace for a while.
This one is also a bad comer.
Shen Qingru has something to talk about with her, I'm afraid she doesn't want to find a place for Gong Ling!
When the little eunuch came with a message, Xiao Yuan hadn't left yet. Hearing that it was the palace concubine who invited her, Xiao Yuan opened her mouth: "Don't go." ”
The little eunuch who came to deliver the message had a bitter face, he specially calculated the time, at this hour, it was time for the prince to go to the barracks, why was he still in the house?
Actually, it's all because of the small buns.
Last night, Xiao Baozi wetted the bed in the middle of the night, and refused to sleep again after waking up, and was hugged by Xiao Yuan. Xiao Baozi dragged Shen Qingru's hand and didn't let go, and Shen Qingru had no choice but to go to Xiao Yuan's bed.
For the first time, a family of three shared a bed.
Later, Shen Qingru and Xiao Baozi fell asleep one after another. Xiao Yuan waved his hand, scooped the small bun into the bed, slept between the two of them, hugged one in one hand, and stayed all night until dawn.
Xiao Yuan woke up early in the morning, but he didn't dare to move because he saw the sweet sleeping faces of the two of them, and he didn't dare to move for fear of waking them up. When Shen Qingru woke up, the sky was already bright, and Xiao Yuan got up to freshen up.
So, I ran into the eunuch who came to deliver the message.
The little eunuch didn't dare to offend, so he had to look at Shen Qingru for help.
Shen Qingru smiled gently and said to Xiao Yuan: "I want to go and see." ”
The last time Lu Ying came to the palace, the reaction of the prince and the princess made Shen Qingru feel that the estrangement between the two was probably related to this palace concubine.
Shen Qingru's relationship with the princess is getting closer and closer, and she can't bear to be like a stranger to the princess, guarding Zizhuyuan alone to spend her life.
Shen Qingru felt that the princess still had feelings for the princess.
For this palace concubine, Shen Qingru had already thought about it for a while.
Unexpectedly, people were more anxious than her.
Although Xiao Yuan didn't understand what Shen Qingru was thinking, he respected Shen Qingru's decision.
When he waited at the gate of the Guogong Mansion yesterday, he knew that his princess was not bullied by others.
It's just that the palace is not as good as the outside, Shen Qingru went alone, Xiao Yuan was not at ease in the end, and after Shen Qingru left, he also turned over and got on the horse.
The direction of going is not the barracks, but the Ji Shang Mansion.
After passing through the palace, Shen Qingru arrived at the Wanfu Palace where the palace concubine lived.
This is the first time Shen Qingru has seen Gong Jin, the palace concubine who favors the crown of the six palaces.
With a snow-white goose egg face, the phoenix eyes are not angry and arrogant, but with a hint of coquettishness. The hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, wearing a silver thread embroidered plum blossom pink palace dress, tied with a white brocade belt, which looks even more graceful and luxurious.
It has more mature charm than Gong Ling, and three points more solemn than Gong Lan.
There was also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing beside Gong Jin, dressed in a green Hangzhou silk moon dress, also with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a gorgeous appearance.
There was a bit of unruliness in his expression.
Shen Qingru thought, this is probably the daughter of the palace concubine, the third princess Qianxue.
Sure enough, I only heard the girl say: "Concubine Xiao Shi doesn't know the rules too much, and when she saw her mother and the palace, she didn't bow yet." ”
The conscience of heaven and earth, Shen Qingru had just entered the hall, and before she had time to take a breath, this sister came to find fault.
Gong Jin didn't say anything, observing Shen Qingru's reaction.
Shen Qingru seemed to be frightened and stayed there for a while.
Gong Jin said: "Xue'er must not be rude. ”
Only then did Shen Qingru say slowly: "I've seen the palace concubine and the third princess." ”
The tone was neither humble nor arrogant, without a trace of panic.
Gong Jin's eyes darkened, she was really not a good stubble, no wonder Gong Ling and Gong Lan both suffered losses at her hands.
Gong Jin was tempted, so he didn't let Shen Qingru get up.
Shen Qingru waited for a few seconds, and when she saw that no one paid attention to her, she straightened up and found a chair to sit down.
She didn't come here to find hardship.
Before going out, Xiao Yuan said that there is no need to force himself, everything has him.
Shen Qingru will not embarrass himself even more.
In the main hall, in addition to Gong Jin's mother and daughter, there are also two palace women.
A tall, round-faced, handsome man, dressed in a magnolia-colored gauze satin palace dress, about twenty years old.
A smaller, lovely, beautiful and elegant, wearing a cherry purple neon palace dress, looks smaller, sixteen or seventeen years old.
Shen Qingru didn't know either of them. She knew that Concubine Dong, the biological mother of the eldest prince, had a good relationship with the palace concubine. Concubine Dong is in her fifties this year, so she is naturally not among them.
Seeing Shen Qingru sit down, the tall woman raised her voice and said, "Sister Guifei hasn't let her get up or given to sit yet, why did the princess sit down?" ”
Gong Jin picked up the tea, took a sip, and didn't speak.
Shen Qingru exclaimed: "I just heard the concubine say to get up, ah, it may be that Ji Er was noisy last night and slept late, and today I was in a trance, and I heard it wrong." If Fang just did something that made the concubine dissatisfied, I would just get up and stand again. ”
As he spoke, Shen Qingru's body did not move, looking at Gong Jin innocently.
The tall woman choked. Shen Qingru came in for only a moment, naturally she didn't do anything wrong, if Gong Jin let her stand again, it would be a little deliberately difficult.
Gong Jin glanced at Shen Qingru deeply, "Concubine Xiao Shifei is really sharp-tongued, and Ding Zhaoyi is speechless. ”
Shen Qingru said embarrassedly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
Xiao Qianxue glanced at Shen Qingru, she was really shameless, was the mother concubine praising her?
Shen Qingru smiled unabated, pretending to be confused.
In fact, she was very curious about what Gong Jin was looking for her.
With Prince Xiao's Mansion as the backing, Gong Jin will not blatantly do anything to her. If it's just to make things difficult, scold a few words, and vent your anger for the palace spirit, then this palace concubine is too scheming.
A person who has no scheming can win the emperor's favor alone for more than ten years, and he doesn't believe that he killed Shen Qingru.
It's a pity that Gong Jin seems to really just come to her to talk to her, pulling her to say some irrelevant words, and she didn't even mention half a word about Gong Ling.
A few donkeys chatted with the horse's mouth.
Ding Zhaoyi said: "It's boring to sit for a long time, why don't we go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers." Princess Xiao hasn't been to the Imperial Garden yet, has she? Just go check it out. ”
Between the words, he seemed to be very cordial with Shen Qingru, and he forgot all about the previous scene.
At this time, Shen Qingru already knew the identities of the two.
The emperor is four out of fifty this year, and he is not a womanizer. There are not many concubines in the harem. There are even fewer concubines with ranks.
Ding Zhaoyi, Ding Wanjun, whose father is the governor of Xiling, is in charge of the military power of the thirteen northwestern states.
Xu Guiren, Xu Shanshan, was born in the Yasukuni Mansion, and Xiao Yuan's grandmother and old princess were from the Yasukuni Mansion. Xu Shanshan's father is a concubine, who is not favored in the Guogong Mansion and cannot speak.
Both of them are attached to Gong Jin in the palace.
Aunt Hua often talked to Shen Qingru about the movements in Beijing, including various gossips in the backyard and the previous dynasty. Among them, Ding Zhaoyi's younger brother seems to want to marry Princess Qianxue as his wife.
For this reason, Ding Zhaoyi stammered Gong Jin even harder.
Shen Qingru felt that this Ding Zhaoyi and her younger brother were too self-conscious.
Although the Ding family is in real power, almost all of Da Xiao's army is in the hands of Prince Xiao's mansion, and the remaining local army is very small. And most of them are responsible for some logistics matters.
With Princess Qianxue's background and degree of favor, how can she marry a prince and nobleman, a prime minister or something.
