Chapter 44

Shen Shuning was completely annoyed: "Then don't go!" Die alone, you! ”

After speaking, she no longer cared about Shen Xiao, who was standing still, and strode towards Xunfang Pavilion.

Jiang Qingyue listened to their conversation with relish, and when Shen Shuning went upstairs, she was looking left and right.

Shen Shuning saw her looking around, and asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Find Meng Zhen."

Meng Zhen must be around here, Jiang Qingyue had already heard someone secretly talk about it, Shen Xiao liked Meng Zhen, the eldest lady of the Meng Da Sima family.

Sure enough, after a while, Meng Zhen and Shen Xiao went up from the left and right wooden ladders of the restaurant, and Jiang Qingyue and Shen Shuning watched them come from side to side.

Shen Xiao held the peach blossom tightly in his hand and stopped in front of them, looking like he had done something wrong, not daring to raise his eyes or open his mouth.

Meng Zhen greeted them, deliberately not looking at Shen Xiao, but her face turned red.

Jiang Qingyue moved quickly and snatched the peach branch in Shen Xiao's hand.

Shen Xiao let go of his hand, and looked up at her in surprise and joy, only to see that she had stuffed the peach branch into Meng Zhen's hand.

Then, she took Shen Shuning's hand and ran fast, for fear of disturbing others.

Running downstairs, Shen Shuning asked with a sad face: "Qingyue, is my brother not good?" ”

"That's good!"

It's just too honest and shy, and boys should take the initiative to be bold.

"Then why don't you like my brother?"

Shen Shuning mistook her for the meaning of transferring Peach Blossom for a refusal. It doesn't matter if you don't like it, you can ask him to change it.

Jiang Qingyue found a place downstairs to observe the situation upstairs, and said without thinking: "He has Meng Zhen, why do I like him?" ”

"No, no, no!"

Shen Shuning eagerly held her hand, "He doesn't have Meng Zhen!" ”

Jiang Qingyue looked like she knew it well, and peeked at the two people upstairs looking at each other meaningfully.

"I know that success or failure is a matter of today."

-

It's almost dawn when I wake up.

Huaixi picked up the begonia flowers on the case, didn't think much about it, took a porcelain bottle and inserted it, put it in a conspicuous place, and could see it as soon as he entered the door, muttering in his mouth: "No one has ever taken care of our lake and light pavilion before, and there are more people who have talked to me in the past two days, and everyone wants to talk to you." ”

Thanks to Shen Xiao's blessing, her new favorite is a certainty, and even the maid has to be looked at everywhere she goes.

The breakfast is also different from yesterday, from red bean porridge to osmanthus jasper milk stewed bird's nest.

Xin Wei didn't like it too sweet, so she ate half a bowl hard, and there was a crisp and pleasant laugh outside the door.

"Sister Xin, this place is not ordinary, the flowers and plants in the yard are much better than ours!"

Cao Zhaoyi swayed into the door, sat down beside Xin Wei, and said, "After all, you should thank me too, right?" Everyone else is saying that thanks to me letting you have the pipa as a companion, you have entered the emperor's eyes. ”

Xin Wei got up and bowed, and said humbly: "Sister Zhaoyi is right, if it weren't for Sister Zhaoyi's promotion, my sister would never have this blessing." ”

Cao Zhaoyi helped her weakly, looked at the begonia flower at the door, and moved away quietly.

"Isn't my sister going to the paddock today?"

"I didn't hunt anything yesterday, so I picked some wild fruits, and I didn't go to the paddock to offer ugliness." Xin Wei sat down, smiled, and said matter-of-factly, "Sister Zhaoyi's dancing is really amazing, the emperor praises Sister Zhaoyi, you dance very well, and you look forward to it." ”

"Really?" Cao Zhaoyi questioned on her lips, but she was already smiling brightly, "Your pipa is also very good." ”

After speaking, she lowered her voice, and her words changed sharply: "Did the emperor say that the queen should deal with it?" ”

If you want the queen the most in the harem, Cao Zhaoyi is one of them. Now that the queen has been escorted back to Jinling City, but the emperor has not yet issued an edict to abolish the queen, this makes Cao Zhaoyi unable to sleep at night, unable to sleep and eat, and desperately wants to know the fate of the queen.

So much so that I came to her to inquire.

Xin Wei shook her head: "It's about the queen, my sister doesn't dare to ask." ”

She is just Jieyu, a low-level concubine, and she shouldn't have known such important things anyway.

Even if you know, you shouldn't know.

Huaixi carefully brought the tea and handed it to Cao Zhaoyi, Cao Zhaoyi's hand was loose, and her dress was wet.

"Damn it! Slaves and maids should be damned! ”

Huaixi hurriedly knelt down, picking up the celadon teacup on the ground, and apologized repeatedly.

Cao Zhaoyi picked up Huaixi with her own hands and said gently: "It's not in the way, you can go down." ”

Xin Weiyue's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

This is obviously Cao Zhaoyi's intention, but the purpose is not to find trouble, why is that?

After Huaixi withdrew, Cao Zhaoyi said generously: "Sister, it's inevitable that the little girl will be reckless, don't blame her." ”

Xin Wei naturally didn't blame Huaixi, but said: "This girl really can't see the world, let my sister laugh, I'll compensate my sister." ”

Cao Zhaoyi had a pleasant face: "That's not necessary, you go and get some clothes for me to change." ”

Xin Wei took a piece of honey-colored cloud brocade that she hadn't wore, and Cao Zhaoyi didn't pick it, put on a few words of greeting and left.

The person disappeared, and Huaixi dared to tiptoe out, looked around for a while, and came to Xin Wei's side.

"Cao Zhaoyi, what's wrong...... When did you become so close to the little master? ”

It was rare for Cao Zhaoyi to speak well before, but today she has such a good temperament that even Huaixi feels abnormal.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Xin Wei looked at the lamp-hung chair where Cao Zhaoyi had just sat on, and her eyes moved slightly: "Let her go." ”

-

At dinner, Shen Xiao sat on the dragon chair, and the queen's throne beside him had been removed.

Delicacies came out one after another, most of which were prey caught by King Xuan and other princes.

King Xuan raised his glass to the emperor and said loudly: "The emperor has been diligent for three years without touching horses, bows and arrows, and there are naturally not many prey, so the ministers will toast the emperor for the people of the world!" ”

Xin Wei glanced at King Xuan from afar.

King Xuan Shen is the twelfth prince of the first emperor, two years younger than Shen Xiao, since he was a child, he has been sophisticated and sleek, left and right, he is a very pleasing character, but he is dedicated to playing the world, lingering in fireworks and willow alleys and gambling houses, and does not do business all day long.

The first emperor passed him over to a certain prince in a fit of anger, and he became a prince from a prince, and he didn't care, and he still swaggered through the streets of Jinling City every day.

Therefore, they are old acquaintances with Jiang Qingyue in the past.

Today, he is still high-spirited and uninhibited.

Shen Xiao replied to him: "I didn't know that the twelfth brother was able to ride and shoot, and he was really clumsy in the past." ”

"I really won't, but I've only learned it when I'm interested recently."

"In this way, the twelfth brother is very talented."

"Where is the emperor worth one ten-thousandth of it! The emperor's homework and younger brothers have been out of reach since childhood! ”

They boasted to each other and toasted each other a few more times.

The atmosphere was harmonious, Ying Ying walked out of the concubine banquet, Cao Zhaoyi was wearing a colorful embroidered woven begonia skirt, kneeling in front of people, the long beads hanging from the auspicious cloud hairpin in her hair shook gently, making a crisp sound.

Everyone stopped drinking and eating and looked at Cao Zhaoyi curiously.

Shen Xiao asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cao Zhaoyi bowed her head three times, and said angrily: "The concubine found that there were palace concubines who were filthy and chaotic in the palace, and she didn't want the emperor to be deceived by this, so she came to denounce it!" ”

When this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

The queen has just had an accident, do other palace concubines dare to do this?

Who exactly?

Shen Xiao's face was gloomy, and his tone was cold: "Go on." ”

Cao Zhaoyi deliberately dressed up today, full of bright and bright things, knelt in the eyes of everyone at this moment, and said loudly: "Last night, the concubine went to the lotus pond to admire the moon, and saw Xin Jieyu and a man on the other side of the lotus pond hugging each other intimately under the begonia tree!" ”

The pheasant meat in Xin Wei's mouth almost squirted out.

Under the begonia tree by the lotus pond, isn't that her and Shen Xiao.

did not hug each other intimately as Cao Zhaoyi said, but separated after a shallow hug.

Cao Zhaoyi is also very bold, if she has to expose this matter in front of everyone and King Xuan, she is not afraid of a mistake?

At the same time, everyone's surprised and stunned eyes were cast at Xin Wei.

Countless eyes were full of inquiry, trying to see the debunked panic on her face to get a glimpse of the truth.
