Chapter 12: Entering the Palace
On the day of the Shangsi Festival.
As soon as the sky was bright, the subordinates of the Shen Mansion got up.
Everyone performs their duties, and it is also a vivid scene.
There was still silence in the Yilan courtyard, only the little maid who was in charge of sprinkling and cleaning the outside was busy lightly.
Under the layers of curtains in the room, the petite figure on the couch was wrapped in a soft brocade quilt and fell asleep.
It wasn't until after the end of the day that the big girl Orange Bai came in with the mermaid, dug Shen Qiaoshen, who was still asleep, out of the bed and dressed him up.
By the time Shen Qiaoshen reacted, he had already been cleaned up and sat in the carriage peacefully.
Shen Qiao lazily leaned on the cushion, holding a warm hand stove in his hand.
The temperature spreads from the palm of the hand to the whole body, and the warmth is very appropriate.
In the slight shaking of the carriage, Shen Qiaoshen felt sleepy again.
I suddenly heard Zifu's mysterious voice sounding in my ears: "I heard that early this morning, there was a commotion over there in Bishui Pavilion." ”
Zifu is still young, but her temperament is very quick-witted.
Bai Xiaonian, who pretends to be pretending all day long, is very disdainful of the past, and now her own girl seems to have seen the true face of her cousin, so as the most clever maid around the girl, Zifu has always been very concerned about the Bishui Pavilion where Bai Xiaonian is located.
Now Shen Qiaoshen was a little more indulgent to the four maids, and there was no one else at this time, so he didn't interrupt.
Seeing that her girl didn't mean to dislike, Yun Ling on the other side said, "Oh? Could it be because of what happened a few days ago? ”
Zifu continued with great interest: "Otherwise, what else could it be? Early this morning, the Li family took Lixia to kneel outside the Bishui Pavilion and pleaded guilty, saying that he would not get up at all. ”
The Li family in Zifu's mouth is Lixia's mother.
Originally, he also served by the old lady's side, and later the old lady was assigned to Lixia's father, and now he is still working in the house.
She was a pungent character when she was young, and she is not a good person to get along with now.
Yun Ling said: "What if you kneel to the old age of the wasteland, the fault is Lixia herself, and she can still retract her confession." ”
"That's right, she made such a big mistake with Ying'er, and she was able to pick up a life, which was already for the sake of her father and master. After all, Ying'er is ......"
Speaking of this, Zifu suddenly stopped.
As if thinking of something, even Yunling quieted down.
……
After a while, I only heard Yun Ling's voice say softly but firmly:
"Ying'er betrayed the master, she deserved it."
……
Hearing this, Shen Qiaoshen opened his eyes, looked at the two of them, and slowly hooked the corners of his mouth.
In her previous life, Yun Ling also had such a clear distinction between love and hate, but in the end she ended up with such a miserable result......
Shen Qiao closed his eyes, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and said softly:
"Look, there's still a lot of trouble."
The coda spreads out like a sigh.
……
While the three of them were in the middle of their hearts, the carriage had unconsciously turned the last corner, and its speed gradually slowed down, and through the corner of the curtain blown by the wind, the palace gate was visible in the distance.
Just over halfway through, there was a long queue at the gate of the palace.
The palace banquet is set in the evening, and most of the people who enter the palace at this time are the female dependents who go to the harem.
Except for princesses and princesses and other clan daughters, most of them took this opportunity to visit the girls who were palace concubines in their families.
Of course, there is a difference.
For example, at this time, as soon as the Shen family's carriage approached, a well-dressed female official came forward with someone.
"Cai Wu has seen two sons."
I saw that this female official named Caiwu was dressed in a blue palace dress, and her expression was steady and polite.
At a glance, you can see that it is used by the master's side.
Shen Qiaoqi nodded, and then the two brothers turned over and dismounted, and walked to the two carriages respectively.
General Shen and his wife and Young Master Shen are out on the battlefield and are not in Beijing all the year round.
Therefore, today's palace banquet, the Shen family was brought by Mrs. Shen and Shen Qiao's brothers and sisters to the banquet.
"Little Joe, we're here."
Shen Qiaoran's voice came from outside the carriage, Yun Ling and Zifu got out of the carriage first, and then wanted to turn around and help Shen Qiao Shen.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qiaoran, who was on the side, suddenly squeezed the two of them away and went to help his sister get out of the car in person.
Since ancient times, men and women have not sat at the same table at the age of seven, but the third young master and the fourth girl of the Shen family are dragon and phoenix twins, and the relationship has been closer than that of the other two brothers since childhood.
So looking at the bright brother who was smiling at him, Shen Qiaoshen was only stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
The young men and girls who were still good looked at each other and smiled, and their similar faces were all excellent.
For a while, many of the people present looked straight.
Shen Qiao was born to be favored, but she was sick and weak since she was a child and rarely went out, so most of the outside world treated her as 'only her name, but not her person'. ’
In addition, in the past year, Bai Xiaonian has been going to banquets outside, and in his words, he always reveals his fear of this cousin from time to time, which also causes everyone to secretly feel that the daughter of the Shen Mansion is very powerful, treats her cousin harshly, has a perverse personality, and cannot be befriended.
But at this time, the girl in front of her, thirteen or fourteen years old, with an extremely white complexion, was wearing a jade-colored embroidered folded branch pile skirt, and a bean-green feather veil was thin.
Xu is recovering from a serious illness, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance all over his body, bowing his head slightly, among the brightly dressed ladies and ladies, he is like the most delicate water hibiscus, pure and ignorant.
Zifu stood with her hands down, originally secretly nervous, and Zifu herself had heard the evaluation of her own girl outside, although she was always angry, but she was helpless.
But now looking at the amazement of their own girl in everyone's eyes, I can't help but remember what the girl once said:
"Rumors are like knives, they can pierce people's hearts."
"But people tend to choose to believe what they see."
"Seeing is believing, and hearing is false."
