Chapter 4 Guining's Gift
In today's Shenfu Hall, Xiao Yuanqi and Shen Sirong are sitting at the top. Before the marriage, it was a father-daughter son-in-law relationship, but since she left this door, she became a king and minister.
Shen Sirong listened to the dialogue between Shen Shiyan and Xiao Yuanqi in his ear, but his eyes wandered on Wang Shi and Shen Siyi.
I don't know how long it took, but the housekeeper came to report that lunch had been arranged.
"Okay, why don't you go down? The theater class in the afternoon is correct?"
Without waiting for the housekeeper to reply, Xiao Yuanqi smiled softly. Shen Sirong felt that the smile came suddenly and turned his head to Xiao Yuanqi's dark pupils. After being stunned, Shen Sirong understood that Xiao Yuanqi was going to give a "gift"...
"Your father-in-law has bothered me, but Sirong and I have to go to a place after dinner. I won't stay to watch the play." Xiao Yuanqi called "mother-in-law" and gave Shen Shiyan enough face. When he heard the words, he continued to ask, "I don't know where Your Highness and the Empress are going?"
If Shen Shiyan doesn't ask, this "gift" can't be sent out. Xiao Yuanqi waited for him to finish asking, lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Wang indifferently.
"Today is the day when I miss you to return to peace. In addition to Shen's mansion, you naturally have to go to Anguo Temple to see her mother, the prince's mother-in-law."
As soon as he said this, Shen Shiyan immediately silenced, and an unnatural emotion flashed on his face, but Wang was uncontrollable. Xiao Yuanqi's words were from the perspective of Shen Sirong, which showed that he did not recognize Wang's mother-in-law.
At the same time, this situation made Wang's heart tremble. The hands blocked under the sleeves were numb, and a drop of sweat fell on the tip of his nose.
Mr. Wang smiled unnaturally, and his embarrassment was full of embarrasment, but he was thinking that the prince is now such an attitude. In case one day he remembers to investigate what happened for Shen Sirong in those years, then...
"Your Highness, it's a long way to go to Anguo Temple. Why don't you and your mother go another day?" It was Shen Siyi who spoke. She didn't know much about the enmity of the previous generation. Her purpose was very simple, leaving the prince.
Xiao Yuanqi smiled playfully at the corners of his mouth, and it was not easy to see this Shen family. He looked at Shen Sirong and saw that her face was calm. It seemed that she had a hard time before.
Somehow, Xiao Yuanqi's heart softened for a moment.
Shaking his head, Xiao Yuanqi deliberately paused his eyes on Shen Siyi, seemed to look up and down, and said at the same time, "No, after today, the meaning will be very different."
Seeing a little impatience in Xiao Yuanqi's tone, Shen Shiyan hurriedly stopped what Shen Siyi was going to say: "Yi'er, it's almost time to call someone to serve food."
The hard opportunity has been ruined, so isn't there no way to do it? Shen Siyi was angry but had to retreat.
Since Xiao Yuanqi said he would go to Anguo Temple, the hearts of the Shen family have been raised in mid-air, and they can't go down, and the dinner table is very silent. After lunch, Xiao Yuanqi took Shen Sirong away and ordered the driver to drive the car to Anguoshan in front of the Shen family.
The horse raises its hoofs and flies with fine dust and fog. Shen Sirong saw Wang and Shen Shiyan standing at the door of the house whispering from the back window, and his heart was lightened. It seems that they are also more careful. If the carriage is going directly to the palace now, then today's move will be meaningless. On the contrary, they will feel much more at ease.
"How about this gift?"
Xiao Yuanqi saw Shen Sirong smiling at the corners of his mouth. This smile was not like her usual smile, but a smile from the bottom of her heart, which had the power to infect people's hearts.
Withdraw his smile, Shen Sirong half bowed: "Thank you in advance. Your Highness, please rest assured that my loyalty is naturally Your Highness's. After saying that, Shen Sirong looked at the road outside and told the driver, "Go around the intersection in front of you and go back to the palace."
"Oh? Why?" Xiao Yuanqi raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Your Highness, today's gift is enough. We came out of the palace. If we really went to Anguo Temple today, I don't know how much gossip will come out, and it will be useless to Your Highness.
Shen Sirong is talking about her thoughts, but she still has one thing to worry about - Longfeng Heming.
How could Xiao Yuanqi not know what she said? Xiao Yuanqi didn't plan to go to Anguo Temple at all. He just played tricks. At this moment, seeing Shen Sirong's plan for him, he took the opportunity to arrange: "Listen to the princess and go back to the palace."
That night, Shen Sirong turned off the light early and only said that he was not feeling well. In fact, I don't want to have a dispute with the prince anymore, so I made a bad idea.
When the prince didn't reach the Moon Hall, Shen Sirong felt relaxed, but the trouble was overwhelming rumors. She has learned how powerful the rumors in the palace are. Xiao Yuanqi did not send anyone to stop him. On the contrary, he just wanted to see how she could live without his support in the East Palace.
After waiting for several days, there was no news from the Lanyue Hall, so Fengyin Pavilion and Qiu Juyuan naturally couldn't sit still. Wu Wanqing is still smart, thinking that she has to pull more people. So early that morning, she went to Qiu Juyuan to discuss with Liu Ran.
"What's the happy thing about my sister's appearance?" Liu Ran entered her room and got up to meet her. Although he called his sister, he lost in his posture and did softly joke.
As soon as Wu Wanqing sat down and ignored her jokes, she closed the door and mysteriously came to Liu Ran's ear and said, "The crown princess has fallen out of favor."
As soon as he said this, Liu Ran hurriedly looked out of the house, and it was clear that there were only the two close maids outside the house. Seeing Liu Ran's cautious look, Wu Wanqing said impatiently, "Don't look, there is no outsider. Besides, even if someone hears it, I'm not afraid.
Liu Ran stepped forward and raised his hand to block Wu Wanqing's mouth: "Don't say that, sister. After all, she is the crown princess. Besides, this is unfounded. It's not good to let His Royal Highness know it at that time.
"Your Highness? Humph, Your Highness has spent the night at my place for two days in a row. I really feel strange. At least she is also a beauty. Why did Your Highness get tired of it after only one night? Wu Wanqing looked at Liu Ran like that, and her eyes unconsciously revealed contempt. She has always disliked this timid Liu Ran, but it's okay to have fewer opponents.
"It's just that I haven't been there for a few days. It doesn't mean anything." Liu Ran's language seemed to be very reasonable, but in fact, it improved Wu Wanqing's temperament a little.
Wu Wanqing patted the table heavily: "This princess is not so easy to be. Without the prince's favor, everything is empty.
Liu Ran just looked at her and smiled. Wu Wanqing looked at her with regret and scolded in her heart: You are useless.
"Let's go and go to the Moon Hall with me. I'd like to see her tragedy..."
After saying that, he couldn't help pulling Liu Ran out.
When she arrived at the Moon Hall, Shen Sirong was taking a nap, and the nurse had to come out to stop people after listening to the report of the internal supervisor. She looked at the two people with unknown intentions and said coldly, "What's wrong with you two? The Empress just fell asleep.
Liu Ran timidly pulled Wu Wanqing's clothes and said with a smile, "Since the Empress is asleep, let's come another day." As he spoke, he nodded to the wet nurse.
Wu Wanqing stared at Liu Ran. Liu Ran immediately lowered her head, and the cold fragrance beside her saw everything clearly. She looked straight at Wu Wanqing: "I don't know what Mrs. Wu wants to do?"
Originally, there was nothing wrong with Han Xiang's words, but the "Madam" stung Wu Wanqing's ear, as if to remind her that she was not even the prince's side concubine.
"How dare you be so arrogant? Come on, pull down the 20 boards for me."
Wu Wanqing was originally a Gentile and has always been arrogant and indulged. Later, she was adopted by her aunt and uncle and has always been spoiled. Even when she came to the palace later, the prince was extremely generous to her. At this moment, she was angry and didn't remember any rules.
The internal supervisors are used to looking at each other. At this moment, neither side dares to offend, so they have to look at each other. Liu Ran stood in front of Wu Wanqing when he saw this: "Sister, let's go back. I'm afraid that the crown princess will be blamed in the end."
"Yes, I also advise you to go back to extinguish the fire." Shen Sirong's voice came from the door, and everyone was stunned. With a "squeak", the door was opened, and Shen Sirong's eyebrows were full of seriousness.
"Mother." The nurse and Hanxiang took the lead in salute, and everyone knelt down.
"The humble concubine has met the crown princess." Wu Wanqing saw Shen Simong coming out, so she had to salute unwillingly.
In fact, Shen Sirong has woken up a long time ago, but he has been listening to the movement outside. Who would have thought that Wu Wanqing is really timid. The people who also touched her in her temple.
"Do you want to be touching me?" Shen Sirong knew that if she could no longer stand in the East Palace today, anyone could bully her in the future.
She will let everyone know today that no matter what the prince's attitude towards her is, she can't bully her at will. This is no better than Shenfu. There is no room for you to take a step back.
When Wu Wanqing saw that Shen Sirong's attitude became tough, she couldn't help but feel a little weak: "It was she who spoke rude first." Wu Wanqing thought that Shen Sirong didn't hear their conversation, but she was just a maid of honor.
"Do you speak rudely? Shouldn't she call you 'Madam'? Or, do you want to be a mother?" Shen Sirong's eyes were sharp, not only Wu Wanqing, but also Liu Ran beside him.
How could Wu Wanqing guess Shen Sirong's eyes in disbelief?
"Well, didn't you have something to do with me? I'm out now. Just say what you have to say."
Wu Wanqing subconsciously looked at Liu Ran's direction, but saw Liu Ran lowering her head. She frowned and didn't know how to say it to herself.
Seeing her embarrassed, Shen Sirong sneered and said faintly, "Since it's just a routine, let's go down. You're late today. Remember to come early tomorrow."
After saying that, the two retreated by the steps.
"Mother, just let her go like this?" The wet nurse naturally refers to the Wu family.
Shen Sirong didn't say anything. She wanted to stand up and could not force them to die, otherwise it would be no good, as long as they understood that the Moon Hall was not so easy to provoke. Only then did Shen Sirong think of Hanxiang. She looked at Hanxiang through the nurse and asked, "Hanxiang, are you all right?"
Suddenly asked by Shen Sirong, Han Xiang was a little stunned. Shen Sirong saw her slightly dull appearance, smiled and walked back to the inner hall.
