Chapter 351: A Hand Remained
"Side concubine."
Seeing Feng Zi and a few people admitted to the hospital, Shen Bi immediately came back to her senses, and then slowly walked forward to greet Feng Zi, and when she stood in front of Feng Zi, she lowered her head and bowed to Feng Zi very respectfully and meekly, and said slowly: "The side concubine came early today." ”
I made an appointment with this Shen Bi today, because this Shen Bi knew that she would come today, or perhaps, today was indeed a little early, and she came after noon, and she was a little surprised to come to this Shen Bi.
"The prince suddenly wanted to let the concubine embroider the mandarin duck pillow, but the concubine's needlework was a little rusty, so that he was in a hurry to come over and ask Concubine Shen for advice." In just a moment, Feng Zi gathered her mind and spoke calmly, her expression moved slightly, her voice was slightly raised, and she continued: "Why is Concubine Shen standing under the tree in this courtyard, isn't it, who are you waiting for?" ”
She didn't have the slightest euphemism in this, and asked very bluntly.
Shen Bi was slightly stunned, her face was slightly nervous, her face drooped lower and lower, and she said slowly: "The concubine didn't wait for anyone, she just suddenly felt stuffy in the house, just to come out and breathe." As he spoke, he turned around and said busily: "The side concubine came all the way, thinking that she was tired of walking, so she went into the house first to rest." ”
"It's fine."
Feng Zi did not refuse, and said without waves.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Bi no longer delayed, and immediately led the way for Feng Zi meekly and politely. After Feng Zi stepped into the door, Shen Bi also closed the door smoothly, and after the wind outside the house was completely blocked by the carved wooden door, the atmosphere in the house suddenly sank, silent, revealing a bit of depression.
Feng Zi sat quietly and did not speak.
Shen Bi slowly made a cup of tea for Feng Zi, and then pushed it to Feng Zi on the low table in front of Feng Zi, and said with a little embarrassment: "The concubine has not received new tea from the palace in this small courtyard for many years, so she has to plant a few tea trees by herself, and then pick the tea leaves to dry, so as to drink." The tea made by this tea is naturally not as mellow and sweet as the tea that the concubine drinks every day, but it is slightly sweet, and the concubine should not be disgusted. ”
Is it?
The corners of Feng Zi's eyes twitched, only to say that Shen Bi's blurted out words were even more respectful and docile than yesterday.
"This concubine is also a maidservant, not all the delicacies of the mountains and seas are common, and the tea she drinks is not high-class and noble, so there is no need to be so restrained in front of Concubine Shen." It was only a moment before she replied attentively.
But as soon as these words came out, Shen Bi was slightly stunned, and after a while, his expression returned to normal, and he nodded respectfully towards Feng Zi.
Feng Zi stared at her a few times, was silent for a moment, and then asked calmly: "The prince suddenly invited Concubine Shen to get together yesterday, thinking about it, it is naturally to rekindle his love for Concubine Shen. She said this casually, and when the end of the note fell, she saw Shen Bi frowning, and her face became more and more nervous.
"Concubine Shen, what's wrong? Loved by the prince again, is Concubine Shen unhappy? Feng Zi stared at him quietly and asked again casually.
Shen Bi hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Shen Bi is used to such peaceful days, so he really doesn't dare to hope that his days will improve." Moreover, Shen Bi really didn't dare to be delusional about the favor and love of the prince, and Shen Bi just thought that being able to die in the mansion so calmly was the best ending for Shen Bi. ”
"Why did Concubine Shen say this, she was favored by the prince, and she should be happy." Feng Zi pondered for a moment, said calmly, said, patted the soft vacant seat beside her, and said slowly: "Concubine Shen, sit down." ”
Shen Bi was silent for a moment, and finally stepped forward slowly, sat down beside Feng Zi with a little restraint, then raised her eyes, glanced at Feng Zi's side face slightly, then lowered her head and said in a low voice: "The concubine's thoughts, the side concubine should understand." And the prince summoned the concubine yesterday, not because he liked the concubine again, but because he wanted to ask the concubine about the concubine yesterday. ”
When these words came into his ears, Feng Zi's complexion did not change, and there were no emotional ups and downs, even in the depths of his heart, he was also transparent and unsurprised. It's just that if you say that you are a little stunned, it is naturally this Shen Bi who will take the initiative to say this, she also thinks that this Shen Bi will have hope and yearning because of Jun Ruoxuan's sudden change in her attitude towards her, so that she will be comfortable in front of her Yun Fengzi.
"Oh? Last night, the prince even asked Concubine Shen about the concubine? Feng Zi was silent for a moment, then took a look at it, and asked in surprise.
Shen Bi still hung his head, nodded slowly, and then sighed, and only said, "Yes." The prince summoned the concubine over last night, indeed to ask what the concubine did here yesterday. The concubine only said, yesterday was just a chat with the side concubine in the house, and nothing else. ”
"Where's the prince? Concubine Shen said this, and the prince believed it? Or maybe you didn't ask anything more? Feng Zi's voice was still flat, and the tone of her blurt was still a little careless.
But as soon as these words came out, Concubine Shen shook her head and said slowly: "After the concubine's words are finished, the prince will not ask anything more, but only invite the concubine to dine in his main courtyard." The concubine was soft-spoken, coupled with the fear of the prince, so she naturally did not dare to refuse easily, so she agreed, and the prince also sent someone to invite the side concubine to come over for a meal, but unexpectedly, the side concubine refused to come. As he spoke, his expression moved slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Since the side concubine never came over last night, the concubine body is extremely worried that the side concubine will be angry with the concubine because of the fact that the prince summoned the concubine in the past. ”
Her words were extremely polite, but she was still a little restrained and nervous, as if she was really worried about Feng Zi's anger, and even her blurted out voice was mixed with a little timidity and fear.
Feng Zi did not delay, and said calmly: "Concubine Shen is also the prince's person, not to mention that Concubine Shen was summoned by the prince, even if Concubine Shen stayed with the prince to sleep, the concubine will not be angry." This concubine is different from the rest of the women in the palace, and she will not be jealous, so Concubine Shen can rest assured. ”
Shen Bi couldn't help but be stunned again, and her eyes subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Feng Zi.
Feng Zi raised her head, met her eyes directly, and continued: "Last night's incident, Concubine Shen doesn't need to mention it much, Concubine Shen didn't go to her heart, and Concubine Shen doesn't have to feel pressure. And the concubine came here this time to discuss embroidery with Concubine Shen, I wonder if Concubine Shen can prepare some needlework strips for the concubine? ”
Shen Bi hurriedly said: "It's okay, wait a minute." ”
As soon as these words fell, she did not delay, immediately got up in a hurry, and immediately brought over the thing containing the female red.
Feng Zi was not interested, took the needle and thread and began to embroider lazily, Shen Bi originally wanted to teach Feng Zi carefully, but after a few euphemistic words, seeing that Feng Zi did not really listen, but the needle and thread in her hand were still shuttling on the cloth at will, she finally came to her senses, and her heart was clear, so she also began to embroider by herself, and no longer bothered Feng Zi.
Feng Zi really didn't want to embroider, just because, she really didn't like to embroider mandarin ducks for that Jun Ruoxuan. It's not a mandarin duck, what do you do with embroidered mandarin ducks.
Therefore, most of them were resistant, and the stitching method did not follow the normal walk, but turned all the way, and after a long time, two ducks were embroidered on the strips of cloth.
Shen Bi couldn't help but look at the things embroidered by Feng Zi, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, but he wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't say anything after all, but at this moment, there was already an inquiry from the servant and the palace slave outside the door, "Side concubine, concubine, noon has come here, but you want to let the servants pass the food in?" ”
Feng Zi stopped the embroidery needle at this time, and swept her eyes towards Shen Bi casually, without saying a word. Seeing that Feng Zi had no sign of leaving, and had no intention of refusing, Shen Bi immediately said loudly: "Come in." ”
As soon as these words came out, it didn't take long for the servants to come in one after another. Shen Bi was surprised, but the meal brought into the house this time was undoubtedly more than three times her usual meal, and the plates of dishes were steaming, and the fragrance was also floating in the air, which was really not as light and dull as what she usually ate.
If it weren't for this concubine coming to her courtyard, how could the group of servants outside the door bring such a sumptuous lunch into the house. Speaking of which, since the new side concubine entered the Derui Palace, she has already heard the reputation of this new side concubine who favored the royal palace, and got along with the prince last night, and she also knew that her prince was very concerned about any deeds of the new side concubine, plus the lunch sent by the slave outside the door today, rich and diverse, and so on, all of which showed how favored the woman beside her was.
"Concubine Fang, lunch has been delivered, Concubine Fang will eat first." It was only a moment before she spoke to Feng Zi in her heart.
Feng Zi nodded slowly, without delay, and only said, "Concubine Shen will also eat with this concubine." ”
Shen Bi frowned slightly, her face became more and more restrained, she was about to refuse, but before she could say anything, she saw that Feng Zi had simply gotten up and walked slowly towards the round table not far away, her expression tightened, her eyes swept over Feng Zi's thin back, and then she subconsciously choked on the back words, and obediently got up and followed Feng Zi.
When the two of them sat down at the round table, the servants present all walked out of the room.
Shen Bi hurriedly stretched out his hand to prepare food for Feng Zi's bowl, Feng Zi turned her eyes and stared at her, was silent for a moment, and said again: "This concubine is indeed no close to anyone in this Rui Wang's mansion, so I don't know if Concubine Shen is really willing to be friendly with this concubine." Although Concubine Shen answered this last night, today, Concubine Shen wants to hear the truth in Concubine Shen's heart. ”
Shen Bi was caught off guard, but she didn't expect Feng Zi to say this.
It's just that his thoughts turned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he naturally knew what Feng Zi meant by what he said. She only sighed, and then said in a low voice: "Even if the side concubine has said this, the concubine naturally does not want to hide it from the side concubine." The concubine just wanted to live in the house safely, and didn't want to contaminate anyone, but yesterday the prince had paid attention to the concubine because of the side concubine, and the concubine was afraid and frightened, so I don't know if the concubine was really close to the side concubine, would it ...... Causing a killing disaster? ”
She asked these questions very bluntly, and she could be regarded as saying the hidden worries in her heart completely and simply.
Feng Zi's face remained unchanged, she just slowly moved her gaze away from her, her lips opened, and she was about to speak, but before she could speak, a respectful voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Meet the prince." ”
When these words came into her ears, Feng Zi subconsciously choked on the words, and felt sarcastic.
Sure enough, he left a hand in his heart, yes, An Fen stayed here, and he never knocked Shen Bi away in such a hurry as yesterday, no, he just stayed here in Shen Bi all morning, and it happened to be noon, that Jun Ruoxuan came just right. I don't know if that guy came so suddenly, whether he came to check the post on a special trip.
