168, another fine work lurking in the harem

Shen Ci was angry with him for half an hour, and when he put himself in his shoes and figured out his thoughts, his anger disappeared by himself.

It's like she will go out of her way to resist the hidden arrow for Li Mobai.

Her intention of not wanting Li Mobai to be hurt was the same as him.

What's more, he is still such an 'arrogant' emperor, and seeing his beloved hurt for himself may be a hundred times more sad than his own injury.

This is the case for every two-way relationship, and the most remembered thing in each other's hearts is always each other.

Shen Ciwu promised Li Mobai on the surface that he would never do dangerous things again, but he said it lightly, how easy is it to really care about it?

After all, she spent the first half of her life familiarizing herself with the history of the Qi Dynasty, and exhausted all her youth just to study Li Mobai, a mysterious man.

She knew too well how tragic his death was, and she couldn't bear to see history really happen in front of her eyes.

It doesn't matter without Su Detian, as long as the people behind the scenes want to contact her, there is naturally a way.

All she had to do was do nothing and wait quietly for the fish to take the bait.

This year, the spring has warmed up quickly, and it seems that I have just taken off my thick coat and have to change into a summer tulle shirt.

Around the end of February, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom.

After being silent for a few days, Concubine Xi also reappeared in front of everyone along with the blooming flowers.

When I saw her again, she no longer used those 'props' to highlight her figure, but put a lot of effort into her hair bun and makeup.

It's just that most of her dresses today were learned from Shen Ciwei.

Lightly apply powder, with highlights and shadows to outline the bone phase, promote the strengths and avoid the weaknesses.

When everyone was combing their gorgeous buns, she simplified the complexity, only loosely pulled up the green silk, and dropped two handfuls of broken hair in front of her forehead, which flowed and perfectly covered her slightly bulging cheekbones.

Between the clusters, there is quite a bit of the style of Sister Ju in ancient times.

I'm used to seeing her heavy makeup, but now I can't recognize her in a trance.

Even Concubine Hui, who has always been cheap, couldn't help but praise: "The concubine Niangniang is dressed up plainly, but it has a different flavor, and she looks more watery." ”

Concubine Xi smiled and ignored her.

After the concubines were seated, the queen mentioned something, "The queen mother is worried about it, and the matter of the draft at the beginning of next month should also be opened." It's just that the emperor is unwilling to expand the harem, which inevitably makes the queen mother feel a headache. ”

She looked at Shen Ciwu intentionally or unintentionally, "Actually, I don't blame the Queen Mother for worrying, after all, the royal family values the imperial heir." Some people have been favored for a long time, but their stomachs have not moved, and they have wasted a lot of rain and dew on the emperor. The palace also feels that the harem has not chosen a new person for a long time, and it is time to add some new faces. ”

Concubine Chen echoed: "What the queen said is very true, there are more people, and the sisters are more lively when they gather on weekdays. ”

Concubine Hui's eyebrows flew, and she pouted: "Isn't it enough?" Yang pointed to the group of people standing outside the courtyard who promised to be there, "The main palace outside that has promised to be there has not yet been recognized, so this is going to be a newcomer to enter the palace?" I don't see favor in the first place, and if a newcomer enters the palace, life should be even worse! ”

The queen reminded her and said: "Whether there is favor or not has nothing to do with how many people in the harem are, this matter depends on your own ability and the emperor's intentions." If you are a treasure, there is no reason why the emperor cannot see you. He asked Concubine Xi again, "What does my sister think?" ”

"This kind of thing has always been decided by the queen mother and the queen mother, and now that Rong Guiren is in charge of the six palaces, the mother should ask her what she means first."

Shen Ci was worried about eating melons silently and was suddenly cue, and replied casually: "Whatever, it's for the emperor to choose a concubine and not for us, what's the use of us agreeing or disagreeing?" Don't you have to nod your head to agree to this? ”

"If you have that, it's done." The queen suddenly sat upright on the wind seat, and said in a calm voice: "Yesterday, the palace has discussed with the queen mother, and now the emperor listens to you the most, so it is up to you to persuade the emperor to accept this draft." This is what the Queen Mother meant, if you do a good job, the Queen Mother will naturally be impressed by you. If you don't do well, the Queen Mother will blame you, and the palace won't be able to help you. ”

Good fellow, I fell into the pit again without paying attention.

Of course, the queen and the concubine Xi hope to have a new person enter the palace.

Although they are not favored, they are always unwilling to see Shen Ci worry continue to flourish for a long time.

Unless a newcomer enters the palace to check and balance her, they can provoke new incidents.

The queen directly took the queen mother's will and threw the pot on Shen Ci's worried face, making her in a dilemma.

She didn't give her a chance to refuse, and after speaking, she raised her hand and ordered: "Come on, let's disperse today." ”

Please disperse early in the morning, and go back to the palace to do nothing by yourself, so Shen Ci wants to go to the imperial garden for a turn.

She and Pei Erqi'er were admiring the flowers, and they saw Honeysuckle, the maid who was serving Concubine Duan, with several palace maids looking for something with their heads down.

When a few people walked to Shen Ci's side, Honeysuckle bowed to Shen Ci and asked, "Have you seen a sachet of gold thread tassels?" ”

Shen Ci shook his head worriedly and said I don't know, but Honeysuckle's expression became more and more anxious, "It was given by Niangniang's mother, and I have been wearing it since I entered the palace." In addition to saying goodbye to the queen today, the mother only got off the sedan chair near here, and it should be lost here. Look carefully, but don't leave anything behind! ”

Seeing this, Shen Ci told Pei'er and Qi'er: "Since it is something that Concubine Duan's mother values, you should also follow Honeysuckle to find it near here." ”

Only when Honeysuckle took them farther away, Concubine Duan was late.

Shen Ciwu gave her a blessing salute, and seeing that her expression was not panicked at all, he said, "Niangniang is here to find a sachet?" ”

Concubine Duan smiled gently, shook her head and said, "This palace is here to look for you." ”

"Me? What is the matter with the mother looking for a concubine? ”

For a long time, Concubine Duan has been a little transparent among the concubines in the harem.

She is not as sleek as Concubine Chen, not as unbridled as Concubine Hui, not as beautiful as Concubine Ning, and not as born as Concubine Xi.

Therefore, when she asks for peace on weekdays, she mostly doesn't say a word, and she looks like a promise.

She smiled lightly, took out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Ciwei, "The things that this palace is looking for have always been on my body, and today I met a noble person in the Imperial Garden, and I felt that I fell in love with you, so I thought of giving this thing to you." ”

Honeysuckle said that the sachet was given by Concubine Duan's mother, and she cherished it very much.

In that case, she shouldn't have given it to someone else so easily.

For a moment, she seemed to understand something from Concubine Duan's smile.

So he said tentatively: "Have you heard of Concubine Duan?" Su Detian, who made the office, died. ”

Concubine Duan bowed her head, smiled smartly, and replied softly: "Yes." That's why Hongu came. ”

The birds in the Imperial Garden, wrapped in the gentle spring breeze and the rustle of new leaves, drowned the laughter of the two into it.
