Chapter 497
Qi Wangshu had met Concubine Shen before. The Shen Shu in front of him was only about five or six years older than him. She was still a woman in her early twenties. I heard that she was still in perfect shape...
Qi Wangshu also knew that Concubine Shen was originally the princess of Danhong. She came to heaven to marry the emperor because of Danhong. When the emperor was alive, she was always Concubine Shen.
Most of the concubines in the palace reached the concubine position because of the emperor's favor. For example, Yan Concubine and Jia Concubine had titles before their positions, but Shen Shu had her concubine title since she entered the palace. Without the imperial title, she was always called Concubine Shen.
Nowadays, after the death of the late emperor, there are many women in their twenties in the palace. Most of the concubines and concubines in the Longevity Palace are women in their thirties and forties. After staying in the palace for so long, now the emperor is here Even if he collapses, he still has to live in the palace day after day, year after year. It feels pitiful just thinking about it.
When the oil runs out, life has lost all meaning, and the only option is to end one's life behind the high palace wall.
Most of the women in the palace are like this.
Although Qi Wangshu pitied such a woman, he was also curious about why Shen Shu came to Qianning Palace.
According to Shen Shu's character of not fighting or grabbing in the past, although her status is not too low, she has always stayed in her own Qionghua Palace, peacefully, without competing with any concubines for favor or sleeping with her. There is not even a single good friend in the palace.
Although Qi Wangshu was not familiar with Shen Shu, based on his understanding of her, how could Shen Shu come to Qianning Palace at this time?
Doesn't she know that Concubine Shu of Ganquan Palace is the most popular person in the palace at this time?
If you want to make good friends with others, then Concubine Shu is the best person to get along with, and she is also the person who will benefit you without any harm, right?
No, the way Qi Wangshu looked at Shen Shu, he couldn't imagine that Shen Shu was the kind of person who needed to please others.
Shen Shu's family was rich and powerful, including the entire Danlong royal family. At this time, the Celestial Empire was relying on the Danlong people to defend itself against the military countries in the north that were eyeing them.
Shen Shu is Princess Danlong. The emperor needs Danlong right now. How could he possibly do anything to Concubine Shen?
Besides, she is now the concubine in the palace. Although she does not have any real power in her hands, even the emperor needs to use honorifics when he sees her. From this point of view, it does not look like Shen Shu is here to win over her. Someone else’s?
Qi Wangshu stood on the main seat and watched Concubine Shen walk in. Her appearance was not much different from his own. She probably didn't worry too much about other things. When the late emperor was here, he always respected her. Although the concubines in the palace didn't think highly of her, they treated her a little more favorably because she was the princess of Danhong.
Qi Wangshu looked at Shen Shu and felt that her appearance was even more beautiful. Compared with when he saw her before, her appearance was not as dull as before.
Today, Shen Shu's light ink-colored Liuxian skirt is embroidered with many small light blue flowers. Her long ink-colored hair is gently pulled up with a lotus root-colored ribbon, and a wooden crape myrtle flower hairpin is inserted diagonally on her head. She looks like a baby. The pure eyes were full of pure indifference, but the smile on the corner of the mouth was extremely charming.
It is covered with a mottled light green gauze robe, with a silver ribbon tied around the waist. A jade pendant hanging from the ribbon is swaying. Her bare hands are slender, holding a light green mandarin handkerchief, which is in line with the clothes on her body. The light green robes complement each other, which is really beautiful.
The long ink-like hair was untied and hanging casually on the chest, with a blue ribbon wrapped around the hair. The black hair was like clouds, with the green ribbon interspersed in it, giving it a special flavor. Her face
I put on some rouge and applied a thin layer of vermilion on my lips, which added a bit of enchantment. Half of my forehead was crow yellow, my waist was like a willow branch, and my temple hair was like clouds. I slowly pulled my hair back and put on a bright yellow star-studded bead ornament;
She pursed her lips gently and pressed a piece of cinnabar that was as light as cherry blossoms; she turned around slightly, and the purple skirt drew an elegant arc in the air.
The light ink fairy skirt is trimmed with silver silk, and the water-colored gauze belt graces the waist. She wears a long skirt with violet colored hibiscus trailing to the floor, the waist is tucked in, and the sleeves are turned around twice, and the skirt gently swirls.
A beautiful circle with a slight smile, a pair of youthful and ignorant spiritual pearls, as smooth as pearls, eyes as clear as streams under the ice, not stained by a trace of worldly dirt, eyelashes as long and thick as cattail fans
Slightly tilted, she stretched out her hand to tap her small nose. She had a pair of long, slender and fair skin. The elegant orchid embroidered on the cuffs made her fingers look like peeled onions. Her pink lips were glowing with a crystal color, making her look beautiful.
The curvature of the jade-like earlobes is covered with light blue tassels. The tassels are light and can dance slowly even in almost no wind. There is an jade pendant tied around the waist, which adds an elegant air. On the hand is a
A milky-white jade bracelet, and surprisingly long black hair tied into a slightly complicated hairstyle with purple and white hairbands. Her lips were smiling, her brows and eyes were full of warmth, and her pupils were broken and flowing, with ink wash.
The clothes are printed with hairpin flowers in small regular script.
Her skin color is like snow, her figure is graceful, she is like a fairy, and her appearance is world-famous. She is as beautiful as an orchid in an empty valley, as clear as a narcissus on the waves, with a faint charm of water mist. There is one part majesty, one part heroism, and four parts in her beauty.
She is very cute, and when you look at it from a distance, there is a charm that comes out of your bones, which is beyond compare. She has a Qinghua demeanor and a charming style that makes people dare not look at her. Looking up at the green mountains, looking back at the dusk clouds, her behavior is elegant and extraordinary, and she is astonished.
Like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world. She wears a light-black fairy skirt that gives people a sense of clarity and transparency. There is a slender light purple gauze belt gently wrapped around her arms. The wind blows, and the dust is flowing and elegant. On a windless day, the gauze
The ribbons of her clothes cling to her body, embodying her exquisite and delicate body shape vividly, like the snow-white orchids at the bottom of a deep valley, exuding alienation and loneliness from her bones. Just standing so quietly in front of her eyes can make people ache.
The fluttering dress, the pure and refined look, the unearthly eyes, the expression is so clear and translucent, but the light ink fairy skirt is so dignified and elegant.
In such a short period of time, Qi Wangshu couldn't help but think, if Shen Shu dressed up like this in front of his father, coupled with her favorable age, his father would also be fascinated by her, right? By that time, there will be
What happened to Lu Huiling?
Shen Shu watched Qi Wangshu come in style, followed by Jingyin. Although she was in her twenties, she was dressed like an old lady in the palace, and she looked a little more charming.
When Shen Shu came to Qi Wangshu, she said solemnly: "Greetings to Mrs. Shen."
Shen Shu stretched out her hand to support Qi Wangshu, and said with a smile: "We are about the same age, so the princess doesn't need to salute in private."
Qi Wangshu didn't know what Shen Shu was going to do, and he didn't know her that well before she came here. She suddenly said such words, which really surprised Qi Wangshu.
"There should still be rules." Qi Wangshu laughed dryly, and could only agree like this.
Shen Shu smiled and sat on the main seat. She had the most noble status here. Even Qi Wangshu could be considered her junior. She naturally sat down first before the others could sit down.
Qi Wangshu sat down on her right side. He didn't know what Shen Shu wanted to do here. He had been waiting for the Queen to wake up for half an hour, but she still didn't wake up.
Everyone in the palace looked at Shen Shu who was sitting down. Mrs. Qin and Qin Ruilan stood beside Princess Wangshu with their heads lowered, pretending to be palace maids. This was not only to avoid causing trouble to Princess Wangshu, but also to avoid causing trouble to themselves. Cause trouble.
But Shen Shu obviously already knew. She nodded and signaled Jingyin to wait outside the door. After Jingyin went out, she obediently closed the door.
At this time, Shen Shu said to Mrs. Qin and Qin Ruilan: "Mrs. Qin and Miss Qin, please sit down too."
Since Shen Shu came in, she has always had a faint smile on her face, looking very amiable, as if she knew that they were not familiar with her, and wanted to tell them that she had no ill intentions.
It has been five years since Shen Shu came to Shangjing City. This is the first time that she has taken the initiative to communicate with some people like this. She seems a little nervous and unnatural. She wants to try her best to create an amiable appearance for others, but she also seems a little nervous. Use force.
Hearing what Concubine Shen said, both Mrs. Qin, Qin Ruilan, and Qi Wangshu looked at each other in shock. Finally, they all looked at Shen Shu, and Mrs. Qin asked: "Concubine Shen has long recognized Is the wife of a minister born?"
Shen Shu looked at Mrs. Qin. The atmosphere was indeed a little awkward now. She didn't know whether she should admit it, but in the end she nodded: "I've seen her before at the banquet, and I've always been there. I heard that Mrs. Qin and Miss Qin have a good relationship with the Queen, don’t worry, the Ai family will not tell anyone, and they are here to visit the Queen..."
Seeing the way Qi Wangshu, Mrs. Qin, and Qin Ruilan looked at each other, Shen Shu felt a little uncomfortable. Then she stood up and said to them: "I came uninvited today. I'm being presumptuous. If it's inconvenient for Madam and Miss, Aijia can come back another day."
Come on, Shen Shu fled and seemed to want to leave.
"Empress Shen!" Qi Wangshu quickly stood up and called to Shen Shu, "Empress Shen, don't leave!"
Shen Shu stopped and turned around to look at them. Although she was dressed as a concubine and looked solemn, she was really like a child at this moment. She didn't know how to get along with some new friends. That kind of feeling overwhelmed.
When Shen Shu first came from Danlong, she went straight to the Qionghua Palace. Although the emperor did not favor her, he respected her. Shen Shu also knew that this was because of King Danlong's relationship.
At that time, Shen Shu thought that she was here for the people of Danhong. Everyone got what they needed, and no one needed to waste ridiculous feelings.
Shen Shu thought about it at that time. In this palace, she only needs to be alone. In short, it is other people's territory, and she has no interest in it. She just thinks of becoming a monk in a slightly more luxurious place. She has friends and other things. No need, as long as Kagamine is by his side.
But over time, Shen Shu herself repeated the first day every day, and lived like this for five years. During these five years, Shen Shu's life had no surprises or surprises. She lived carefree every day, but she lived carefree. When I worry, I also have no desires and desires, and my heart is empty.
On the day of the funeral of the late emperor, everyone in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was crying. The concubines in the harem were crying, the princes and princesses were crying, the eunuchs and maids were crying, and the civil and military officials in the court were also crying. When the whole city was in mourning, everyone was paying homage. The deceased monarch.
Shen Shu also cried. She took advantage of the grand funeral of the emperor's death and the "rare" beauty in the city to kneel in the crowd and secretly pay homage to herself who had died five years ago.
That is to say, recently, after hearing about some things in the palace, Shen Shu found it interesting. She was probably able to stay out of it and watch the show, so she went out for a walk from time to time.
When I meet women of similar age, I want to try my best to make friends with them, but now it seems that I have lost the ability to communicate with others. I want to get along well with others, but I lack some courage.
I just came here to take a look at Liang Huanqing. It was a surprise to meet them, but I couldn't help but want to get closer. I always thought that I had seen through everything, so I just wanted to tell them. I really don't know what to do.
Hearing Qi Wangshu's call, Shen Shu stopped and turned around to look at them.
Qi Wangshu stepped forward, took Shen Shu's hand, and said: "The Queen has been ill these days, the emperor's brother has not come, everyone in the palace has stayed away from Qianning Palace, and it is too late to curry favor with Ganquan Palace. I'm a villain. Now I only see Empress Shen here. This friendship is really precious. Now that I don't see the Queen, I would like to stay with Empress Shen and talk for a while."
Qi Wangshu could tell that Shen Shu had no ill intentions, and even if she did, it shouldn't be towards them. Shen Shu had no one to rely on in going to Beijing, but she had family background to rely on. She was not the kind of person who would They don't need to be so suspicious of Shen Shu when they are being manipulated by others.
Shen Shu looked at Mrs. Qin and Qin Ruilan, who responded with a friendly smile. Shen Shu felt relieved and followed them to their seats.
"A lot of things have happened in the palace recently. The Ai family also heard about it in Wanshou Palace. Today I met Concubine Shu in the Imperial Garden. There have been a lot of rumors about her in the palace recently, and then it was about the queen. Then I thought of it. Look at the queen, I don't want to meet you." After Shen Shu sat down, she first expressed her intention to them.
Shen Shu herself knew that she was not familiar with them at ordinary times, but now that she suddenly came to Qianning Palace, it was indeed a surprise.
Qi Wangshu and Mrs. Qin Qin Ruilan looked at each other. They didn't think too much, but they were surprised by Concubine Shen's sincere attitude.
"Today I also brought Mrs. Qin and Miss Qin to Qianning Palace to see the Queen. The post regarding their entry into the palace has not been approved, and I don't know how the Ministry of Internal Affairs handled it... I feel wronged to you two. ." Qi Wangshu also said gloomily: "Su Shangqing is really comfortable. At this time, she has the nerve to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden."
