The bangzi of the child has just been knocked, and the screaming has not stopped, and it is approaching the height of summer, the weather is gradually drying out, and people are not sleeping well, it is almost the middle of the night, and the old lady Shen is still looking at the scriptures.

Ye Lingwu boiled pear soup to moisten his lungs, and when he arrived at the main house, he happened to see Mama Xuan lighting two more candles, and the house was instantly brightly lit.

There is not a trace of darkness to be seen.

The old lady Shen was draped in a silk cloud and thin satin, sitting cross-legged on the soft couch and slowly twisting the Buddha beads. Jiang Lanshu stood silently on the side and gently fanned the wind with a large leaf fan to relieve the heat, looking at the preoccupied.

Ye Lingwu didn't care, brought the jade cup to the table, put a bowl of pear soup in front of Mrs. Shen, and said, "Old lady, it's a hot day, you can drink some pear soup that moistens your lungs to sleep." ”

“…… I have a heart. Old Mrs. Shen slowed down for a moment before taking the pear soup, and when she finished drinking, a hand with a white cloth stretched out.

Old Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, raised her head slightly, and saw Ye Lingwu's pair of apricot eyes and said with a smile: "Old lady, let's read this scripture tomorrow, it's too late." ”

"I can't read the scriptures tomorrow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send an invitation this morning, and the East Palace set up a banquet, and invited many ministers and female dependents of the court, and even specially instructed the family of the Marquis of Ningbei to go to the banquet."

Ye Lingwu heard about this last time in the school, but he was not surprised, and handed over a bowl of pear soup: "I can't see tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the days are long, the old lady doesn't have to rush tonight." ”

Old Mrs. Shen took the pear soup and didn't speak, but Mama Xuan said: "This afternoon, the old lady said to the old slave, let Lan Shu and Miss Lingwu enter the palace with you, this East Palace banquet is set at the time, you two girls can dress more properly tomorrow, act steadily, and the etiquette must not be forgotten." ”

Hearing this, Ye Lingwu and Jiang Lanshu were united in their hearts.

But the reasons for the surprise were different.

Jiang Lanshu was strange that in the past, Old Lady Shen was accompanied by Mama Xuan when she entered the palace, but how could this have changed. And Ye Lingwu's face was lonely, since she knew that Old Lady Shen had misunderstood her, everything that didn't make sense made sense, the better Old Lady Shen treated her, the more panicked Ye Lingwu became.

The only thing that can be at ease is to carefully please Mrs. Shen and pray that one day in the future, the lie will be exposed, and she will be able to save her life.

At this moment, I saw Tanchun walking in in a hurry.

"Old lady, the Hou Ye sent a little maid to see that the lights in Jinghe Hall have not been turned off yet, so I thought I would come to see you later!"

Old Lady Shen frowned, put down the pear soup and said, "Didn't he enter the palace, when did he return to the house?" ”

Tanchun said: "The slave maid doesn't know, Master Hou has already gone back to the South Courtyard to change his clothes, and this will also send a small servant to inform him in advance." ”

Mrs. Shen hesitated, and ordered Jiang Lanshu to make tea, and asked Ye Lingwu to go to the kitchen to make two plates of tea and fruits to prepare.

Coming back from the kitchen, Ye Lingwu and Rongxiu turned around the corridor with tea and fruits, and suddenly heard a heavy footstep in the courtyard outside the house, followed by a man's deep voice: "Grandmother, I heard that you have been unwell recently, but you are getting better......"

I listened to the sound when I entered the main house, and I couldn't hear the words clearly.

Ye Lingwu quickened his pace and came to the main house, and the female envoy at the door slowly pushed the door open.

Stepping into the house, I saw Shen Zhan sitting on the side of Mrs. Shen, with one hand on his knees, the bright yellow candlelight was sprinkled, and he felt that the Ling people on his body were a lot softer, like a hot spring.

Ye Lingwu led Rong Xiu to bow to Shen Zhan, who was sitting on the side of the couch, and then put the tea fruit in his hand on the table between the two, and then left the house to wait.

On the desk, the tea was still steaming with a white mist.

Shen Zhan said: "Grandmother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down to invite, tomorrow at noon in the East Palace will hold a banquet, presumably Your Majesty and the Queen will arrive, will you also enter the palace with me tomorrow?" ”

Old Lady Shen replied: "I just said this just now, tomorrow Ah Ling Yatou and Lan Shu will accompany me into the palace." ”

Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and only replied after a long time: "Grandmother seems to like this girl from Yuzhou, and you used to let Mama Xuan follow you when the palace held banquets." ”

"I like it very much, when I look at her, I always think of more than ten years ago," Mrs. Shen slowly lowered her eyes, as if she saw a certain woman again, she picked up the pear soup and sighed, "Thinking about it for so many years, I feel that it is just a blink of an eye." ”

Shen Zhan's brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were gloomy.

The atmosphere was depressed, and the old lady Shen seemed to be careless and diverted the topic: "Chao Fenglang Wang's family was dismissed, and the family affairs I gave Lan Shu to the girl were fruitless, watching Lan Shu's age gradually go up," she sighed, "The Jiang family can be called a lot of hard work when the moon is in turmoil, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mostly praised, and he chooses a good family business for Lan Shu, one is to comfort the Jiang family, and the other is to come but the wife and son I have one wish." ”

Shen Zhan said: "Grandmother told my mother that my mother would post it, and all families in the capital would go to the banquet. ”

Mrs. Shen said: "It's boring to eat and feast, it's better to hold a polo match, seeing that the weather is getting hot, you won't be able to go out if you wait." ”

Shen Zhan's hand holding the tea paused, as if he thought of something, and gently put down the bowl and said: "It's rare for grandmother to want to hold a polo match, then I'll do it, I remember that Yue Yang has a pasture on the outskirts of the city, and then a few good horses will be transferred from the military camp, it will be lively." ”

At this moment, Yue Yang, who is training soldiers and horses in the military camp: Ah Qiu~

The full moon hung on the treetops outside the house, and the soulless Ye Lingwu and the absent-minded Jiang Lanshu sat under the porch on the left and right, their faces expressionless, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves were trembling slightly.

I don't know how long it took to sit there, but I heard Tanchun in the courtyard suddenly scold the little girl for being careless, and the two came back to their senses and accidentally met their eyes.

Jiang Lanshu coughed lightly twice, turned her head to look at the courtyard, and saw Tanchun holding a posture, pointing at the little female envoy, she frowned, and got up: "Tanchun, this little girl just came on an errand yesterday, and she is not familiar with the courtyard, so you don't have to be harsh on her." ”

Tanchun turned around, and said in a strange manner: "Miss Lan Shu remembers, this little girl came to Jinghetang on an errand three days ago, I don't know how many tea bowls have been broken in the past few days, and the third-class female envoy only has a few silver coins a month, and if you fall like this, it will not be enough to sell you to people!" ”

Jiang Lanshu was speechless for a while.

Ye Lingwu on the side looked at her sideways, thinking that Jiang Lanshu had not only been secretly competing with herself these days, but she really didn't know where to use her thoughts, no matter what she did, she was a little bit of a heart.

At this moment, there was movement in the house.

I saw Shen Zhan push open the door and crush the moonlight and walk out.

All the women in the courtyard bowed their heads together.

Ye Lingwu saluted without exception, and then raised his head, and hurriedly stepped forward to offer courtesy: "I'll send the Hou Ye out of the courtyard." ”

Shen Zhan looked at her sideways, his face sank, and his eyes were gloomy.

Ye Lingwu's smile froze, she regretted it a little, she couldn't help but take a step back, her brain was spinning quickly, when did she offend this master, why did she feel like she was going to eat her?

Happy New Year, ladies and gentlemen~
