is not only the emperor's edict, but also the queen's summons, Shen Lingxi can't be pushed off no matter what.

She had planned to enter the palace to explore the truth and reality, but she also pushed the boat down the river and responded.

It's just that there are too many pregnant concubines in this palace now, and if you are not careful, it is not worth it to be charged with murdering the emperor's heir.

Shen Lingxi brought Xiaodouzi for the first time, and Chu Yan also asked Ning Fu to accompany her.

The sun is scorching outside, but the main hall of Kunning Palace is very cool.

Shen Lingxi followed behind Aunt Liu, walked into the hall, and glanced at the ice basin in the corner of the hall.

Every other hour, each palace is filled with ice.

It was not yet the end of the day, and the ice in the ice basin had only melted a little.

It can be seen how cool it is in this main hall.

Aunt Liu invited Shen Lingxi to sit down, let the palace people serve tea, and said with a smile: "Niangniang is changing clothes in the inner hall, and I also ask the princess to stay in the palace for a while." ”

After saying that, he glanced at Ning Fu and Xiaodouzi beside Shen Lingxi, and then bowed down and walked into the inner hall.

In the huge main hall, there is not even a palace maid to serve, only the three masters and servants of Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes to the tip of his nose and sniffed, the corners of his lips hooked up a faint smile of unknown meaning, and put the teacup back on the table untouched.

There was a sound of skirt rubbing behind the screen, Shen Lingxi raised his eyes and saw Shen Yuyao, who he hadn't seen for a long time, wearing a loose plain white full-breasted skirt with a cardigan of the same color.

Her appearance is already petite and lovely, and she is plain, which makes her even more beautiful, and I feel sorry for her.

Whether it is Zhao Guifei, Li Yuejiao or the current Shen Yuyao, all women who are favored by the emperor have this hexagram in temperament and appearance.

It's just that, compared with Zhao Guifei and Li Yuejiao, Shen Yuyao's expression is a little more poignant.

Seeing Shen Lingxi, she stepped forward to salute, and said to Shen Lingxi in an intimate tone, "I haven't seen you for a long time, fifth sister, are you doing well?" ”

"Okay." Shen Lingxi politely reminded, "Now that you have entered the palace, you should abide by the palace rules, and when you see the palace, you should call the princess of the palace." Although the palace doesn't care about these things with you, it's just that you live in Kunning Palace now, if the queen mother knows, she will think that the Xuanping Marquis has no way to teach her daughter, and she doesn't even understand these rules. ”

A few words fluttered lightly, making Shen Yuyao have a somewhat smug smile on her face, staring at the corners of her lips.

She picked up her pretentious demeanor, tightened the handkerchief in her hand, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Shen Lingxi, "Do you know that although you are now the crown princess, I am no longer the concubine who was trampled under your feet." ”

Shen Lingxi smiled.

"Everyone in the capital knows that Shen Hou loves Shen Siniang the most, and there has never been a day when he treats you as a concubine, and he will never allow others to treat you slowly......"

"Although I don't know much about writing, I was taught that 'those who are self-respecting are then heavy, and those who are light are self-light.'" , I have never stepped on anyone, nor have I ever judged people as concubines, and the four ladies don't have to be so arrogant. ”

Shen Lingxi's tone of talking about things did not mean to mock him at all. Those clear and clear apricot eyes were as pure and innocent as when Shen Yuyao first saw her.

Teach Shen Yuyao to be a little ashamed of herself from the bottom of her heart.

She turned her face sideways, avoiding Shen Lingxi's gaze, and said in an almost arrogant tone: "You don't have to preach like this in front of me, I call you a fifth sister, I am thinking of our sister's affection, kindly reminding you, and accepting your nosy nature." The palace is no better than other places, don't take care of the nosy things that shouldn't be taken care of, so as not to get into trouble, I'm afraid that even the prince won't be able to protect you when the time comes! ”

This is the first time that Shen Yuyao has spoken to Shen Lingxi in this tone.

A few hints of surprise flashed in Shen Ling's eyes, and he looked at her side face for a long time, and asked meaningfully, "Then you should tell me, what is there that I shouldn't care about?" ”

Shen Yuyao twisted the handkerchief in her hand tighter, she moved her lips, and was about to speak-

Suddenly, as if she heard the sound of tinkling footsteps from the inner hall, her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly took out a big red purse embroidered with gold and tillian from her sleeve and stuffed it into Shen Lingxi's hand.

"This is what you gave me when I married Erlang." Shen Yuyao looked at her with raised her eyebrows, raised her voice a little, and said angrily: "I thought you were a kind blessing, but now that Erlang and I are separated from yin and yang, it can't be that you have done something unsightly on this purse, so I ended up like this." I'm not going to be rare anymore, I'll give it back to you. ”

As soon as the purse entered Shen Lingxi's hand, it was heavy, and it was obvious that there was something stuffed inside.

She looked inquiring, but Shen Yuyao had already turned around in a hurry, greeted the comer, and respectfully blessed herself, "Queen Mother." ”

Shen Lingxi knew something was wrong, and only groaned for a moment, then quietly put the purse into his sleeve.

The queen was supported by Aunt Liu and walked out of the inner hall.

Shen Lingxi hadn't seen her for many days, and when he saw her, her complexion was indeed much better than before.

It's just that there is no fat powder on the face, and the half-worn homely dress on the body is also very plain, but it lacks the gentle and graceful temperament before.

Shen Yuyao stepped forward and diligently supported the queen's arm, looking obedient and cautious, without the arrogance of Fang Cai in front of Shen Lingxi, "Niangniang be careful of the steps." ”

When the queen sat down on the top, Shen Yuyao was familiar with Aunt Liu, standing on both sides of the queen with her sleeves.

Shen Lingxi saw her reaction in her eyes and stepped forward to salute.

The queen asked her to sit down, and as usual, she politely exchanged a few words with her, and said with embarrassment: "Calling you into the palace today is not the meaning of this palace, but the emperor wants you to do something in this palace." ”

Shen Lingxi's eyes drooped slightly.

When the emperor asked her to do things, he not only wanted to announce her into the palace in the name of the queen, but also told her through the mouth of the queen.

It's really interesting.

She pretended to be puzzled and asked with a smile: "The Son of Heaven has an order, and the courtiers and daughters-in-law should obey it, and the emperor sent Gonggong Cao to pass on an edict." I don't know what is important, but I took such a lot of trouble to make my mother tell my daughter-in-law in person? ”

The queen waved her hand at Aunt Liu, "I'll say something considerate to the crown princess, you take Yao Niang to the inner hall first." ”

Aunt Liu took the order and led Shen Yuyao to the inner hall.

Before turning the screen, Shen Yuyao reluctantly turned around and glanced at Shen Lingxi, before her figure disappeared behind the screen.

After the two of them left, the queen sighed and seemed to have made up her mind, "This palace has always regarded Liulang as its own, when I was in Yunjiang, Huai'an also worked hard for you to take care of it, with the relationship between our aunt and nephew, this palace will not hide it from you." ”

She looked solemn and said: "Since the emperor returned to Beijing from the imperial mausoleum last time, for some reason, his temperament has suddenly changed a lot, especially after nightfall, he is always impulsive and irritable, and he is still in bed, especially ...... If you don't know moderation, it's like changing a person's ......" (end of chapter)
