Chapter Forty-Nine: Saving the Scene
"My sister spoke, Feng Jiao naturally wanted to satisfy my sister, but today my sister can't take the lead, so it's better to invite my sister to play the piano. My piano skills are naturally unbearable compared to my sister-in-law. Shen Fengjiao was shy.
But the afterglow from the corner of her eyes fell straight on Shen Xinyue's face.
Shen Xinyue has not studied music and female popularity well since she was a child, so Shen Xinyue was ridiculed for this incident in Jiangnan.
Shen Xinyue's face sank, she is a miracle doctor in modern times, a pair of skillful hands can only do surgery and pulse, she has not dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she can only be regarded as a beginner.
In this ancient period, rich women, everyone was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and female red, which was a compulsory course for them.
When Shen Fengjiao said this, it was obvious that she wanted to make Shen Xinyue, who was not familiar with the rhythm, make a fool of herself in front of the public!
"It seems that you have heard of my reputation in Jiangnan, so you should know that Shen Fengjiao is a famous talented woman in Jiangnan. I'm an older sister, so naturally I'll give my sister more opportunities. ”
Shen Xinyue narrowed her eyes and said loudly.
Shen Fengjiao didn't think so, all the young ladies and concubines here wanted to come to see the joke, so she was bound to make Shen Xinyue make a fool of herself in public today! Only in this way can she bring out her Shen Fengjiao's excellence!
Lan Qingruo saw the person in the distance, her eyes were shocked, and then she quickly lowered her head, she originally wanted to speak, but at this time she closed her mouth tightly, not daring to say a word.
"Sister, where can my sister steal the limelight from my sister? In such a scene, only my sister can play the qin, my sister's status is low, and I am afraid that the fuqin will not be able to enter your ears. Sister, don't hide it, I know, my sister caress the piano best. ”
Shen Fengjiao refused to let Shen Xinyue hide easily.
Suddenly, a hearty male voice appeared.
"This royal garden is so lively!"
The person who came was dressed in a bright yellow robe, with a nine-clawed golden dragon on it, and the workmanship was exquisite.
This person is the current saint, Emperor Huo Tianyi.
Following Huo Tianyi, it was the regent Huo Weilou! The two stood together, and in appearance, there were five or six points of similarity.
"I've seen the emperor, long live the queen, long live long live! Regent Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
"Queen, I passed by the Imperial Garden, why did I hear that someone was disrespectful to the Princess Regent? Tell me, why is that? Huo Tianyi asked.
The queen's face changed slightly, while the faces of the others changed greatly.
Why did Huo Tianyi come? On weekdays, the queen will hold a palace banquet when she has nothing to do, bringing the concubines in the palace together.
And Huo Tianyi never asked, nor did he come.
But when the queen saw Huo Weilou, she faintly had some guesses in her heart.
Huo Weilou couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard that these people dared to embarrass Shen Xinyue.
Huo Tianyi will come today because Huo Weilou visited him in the afternoon.
Before, the study.
"Wei Lou, your work has been handled well these days, I am very satisfied, by the way, you married a wife some time ago, I haven't seen it yet."
"Your Majesty, the princess will also attend the palace banquet held by the queen today, why don't your majesty go with the ministers to see the excitement?" Huo Weilou replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Huo Tianyi's emotions were all hidden in his eyes, but there was a slight smile on his face: "Of course you can, I'll leave now." ”
The dark light in Huo Tianyi's eyes flickered faintly, he knew Shen Xinyue's origin and past very well, so he understood that Huo Weilou was just worried that Shen Xinyue would be bullied when he saw him this time, he wanted to go, but there was no suitable reason. But there is no need for a reason to go with the emperor, he can go and protect his own princess.
Therefore, Huo Tianyi took advantage of the situation to sell Huo Weilou's favor.
Imperial.
The queen told Huo Tianyi about the conversation between the few people just now.
Huo Tianyi frowned, Shen Fengjiao lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, but her body couldn't help but tremble.
"I didn't expect that there would be people who would be disrespectful to the princess regent! As a sister-in-law, she even wanted to embarrass her eldest daughter! I don't know how to be humble! Huo Tianyi angrily reprimanded Shen Fengjiao.
Everyone was silent, and no one stood up to speak for Shen Fengjiao.
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the people...... The folk girl knew that she was wrong......" Shen Fengjiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Shen Fengjiao's pleading eyes looked at the few people who instigated her to provoke Shen Xinyue, but those young ladies looked at the flowers and the ground, and no one cared about her life or death.
Shen Fengjiao experienced what it meant to be isolated at this time.
At the same time, she also knows what despair is.
If no one had helped her, perhaps she would have died in the palace today.
Shen Fengjiao's tears suddenly flowed, she was scared, she was really scared.
Shen Xinyue looked at Shen Fengjiao's embarrassment at this time for a long time, and finally, she spoke.
"Your Majesty, Feng Jiao is my sister-in-law, she is used to being very arrogant on weekdays, and today she is a little unscrupulous in the palace, which makes Your Majesty unhappy, Xinyue is here to make amends for Your Majesty for Feng Jiao, and please forgive Your Majesty for your sister's unreasonableness."
Shen Feng raised her head fiercely and looked at Shen Xinyue.
She never thought that at such a time, it would be Shen Xinyue who spoke for herself!
Huo Tianyi didn't expect it to be like this. I thought that I would be more strict and stand up for Shen Xinyue, so that I could exchange Huo Weilou's favor. But I didn't expect Shen Xinyue to plan revenge?
But it's okay, his goal of wanting Huo Weilou's favor has been achieved.
"What do you think?" Huo Tianyi threw the decision to Huo Weilou.
"Just listen to the princess. Since the princess does not pursue her disrespect, give her a chance over there, and next time, the king will be severely punished. Huo Weilou said indifferently.
Huo Tian nodded, and acted as if this had not happened.
But Shen Fengjiao and those ladies of the family were trembling, this palace banquet was not as lively as before, everyone saw that the atmosphere was heavy, although they intended to mediate, but the effect was not great.
Therefore, after the sky was dark, the palace banquet ended.
Shen Fengjiao followed the old princess back to the palace, and she was still trembling, for fear that her head would not be guaranteed.
Several people got out of the carriage together, Shen Fengjiao held Shen Xinyue's hand tightly, she was still afraid.
In desperation, Shen Xinyue could only let Huo Weilou go back by herself, and she sent Shen Fengjiao back to the courtyard where she lived temporarily.
When they arrived in the room, only Shen Xinyue and Shen Fengjiao were left.
The maids of the two were guarding the yard and not letting others approach.
Shen Fengjiao bumped into Shen Xinyue's eyes, and sensed from her eyes that Shen Xinyue's mood was not very good.
Shen Fengjiao thought that Shen Xinyue wanted to educate her, but when was she educated by Shen Xinyue?
In the Shen Mansion before, it was she Shen Fengjiao who came to educate Shen Xinyue! This time, she must not let Shen Xinyue educate her!
For this reason, Shen Fengjiao took the initiative and asked sneeringly: "Shen Xinyue, you really have the ability, and you can ask the emperor to help you!" Why, it's not enough to hook up with a regent, but also with the emperor? You also deliberately acted in this play today, right? deliberately embarrassed me, so that I couldn't get off the stage among the young ladies and concubines! ”
"Shen Fengjiao, use your pig brain, if it weren't for me, it would be a question of whether you could return to the palace alive today." Shen Xinyue looked at her condescendingly and mockingly.
Shen Fengjiao hated Shen Xinyue's eyes the most, and even exploded: "Shen Xinyue, what do you mean?" Do you think I'm going to be grateful to you for what you said? If you hadn't seduced them, they would have helped you like this? Shen Xinyue, you are not much better than me! Princess Regent's position, you can sit, so can I! Sooner or later this position will be mine! ”
Shen Xinyue wanted to talk to Shen Fengjiao in a normal tone, but Shen Fengjiao didn't give her a chance at all. It seems that she has to let Shen Fengjiao calm down.
Shen Xinyue slapped Shen Fengjiao's face directly, and a crisp slap sounded, and then, a bright red slap mark appeared on Shen Fengjiao's face, and one side of her cheek instantly swollen.
The two maids in the courtyard heard the movement and broke in directly.
Si Qi was worried that Shen Xinyue would be beaten by Shen Fengjiao, so he hurriedly came in to protect the master.
And Shen Fengjiao's maid was also worried that she would come slowly, making Shen Fengjiao and others unhappy, afraid that she would be beaten, so she also rushed in.
The two maids didn't expect that the person who was beaten turned out to be Shen Fengjiao.
"Miss, are you alright?"
"Princess, are you alright?"
The two maids spoke in unison.
It's just that he is concerned about Shi Fengjiao's face, and Si Qi is worried that Shen Xinyue will hurt his hand when he beats someone.
"Si Qi, take her to the courtyard and wait for me, and no one will be allowed to come in until I leave." Shen Xinyue waved her hand.
"Yes, Princess." Si Qi's orders to Shen Xinyue have always been one and the same, and they were carried out immediately.
Although Shen Fengjiao's maid had the heart to help Shen Fengjiao, she was soft-spoken and did not dare to disobey the princess's order, so she could only follow Si Qi out with a worried face.
When there were only two people left in the room again, Shen Xinyue said unceremoniously: "Shen Fengjiao, you are really stupid enough." ”
"You!" Shen Fengjiao subconsciously spoke, but because of the hot pain on her face at this time, she stopped talking again.
"Those young ladies and the county lord of Anning in the palace banquet are just using you. Not only did you not find out, but you rushed to be their dog! ”
"They use you as a gunman, and not only do you not hide, but you are also stupid! Shen Fengjiao, do you really have a brain? ”
Shen Fengjiao thought that when the emperor came just now, no one spoke for her, but Shen Xinyue interceded for her, which exempted her from punishment.
Thinking of this, Shen Fengjiao lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.
"Shen Fengjiao, if you don't have a brain like this, you will not only kill yourself, but the entire Shen family! If you offend the young lady of the family and the county lord of Anning, how will the Shen family's business be affected, you don't need me to tell you again, right? ”
"If you are allowed to collide with the emperor today, the Shen family's business will not be affected, and the Shen family may be wiped out." The latter passage was deliberately said by Shen Xinyue to scare Shen Fengjiao.
Shen Fengjiao woke up from a big dream, and she only then realized what kind of stupid thing she had done! She even had to rely on Shen Xinyue to remind her!
Shen Fengjiao's body trembled suddenly, and she only felt a burst of fear in her heart. What she did today...... Have you already offended them?
Seeing Shen Fengjiao being woken up by herself, Shen Xinyue stopped interfering too much with Shen Fengjiao and the Shen family. If it weren't for Song Ruyu in the Shen family, no matter how Shen Fengjiao died, she wouldn't care whether she lived or died, and even if she died and threw her in front of her, she wouldn't frown.
"Shen Fengjiao, the choice is in your hands, whether you want to continue to be stupid or not, you can decide for yourself when you are a gun and a scapegoat in the hands of others."
After Shen Xinyue finished speaking, she pushed open the door, called Si Qi, and went back to her courtyard with her.
Shen Fengjiao sat at the table and seriously thought about what Shen Xinyue said.
The maid brought the ointment and gently applied the medicine to Shen Fengjiao.
If it was put together, if the maid was a little stronger, Shen Fengjiao would punish her, but today, Shen Fengjiao didn't say a word as if she didn't feel pain.
"What's wrong with Sister Shen's face? Could it be that he was bullied? ”
