Chapter 544
Even though she said that, she still had to go to the appointment on time for the invitation from the Empress and Princess Wangshu. Shen Shu had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, but she didn't have the same energy as before. Only then did Jingyin realize that the original relationship was like this. How can someone who makes fun of people have such a big impact on them?
At first, I thought that only the servants who were slaves would have endless troubles, because they had endless things to do and were not as free as the masters. But now I suddenly felt that the masters who had nothing to do, If you think too much, troubles will naturally follow.
Shen Shu lowered her head and looked at her armor. It turned out that she was not used to wearing nails when she was on the grassland, but later, Aunt Shang Gong, who taught her the rules, said that all the ladies in the palace had to wear nails. Luxurious armor can make you appear noble.
Twenty-year-old Shen Shu put on armor for the first time, and she was extremely unaccustomed to it. In addition to not being used to it, she also disliked it. She didn't like having such carved and sharp things on her fingers, and she didn't like that she was white. Jie's fingers were bound by this thing.
But slowly, she got used to this status symbol. She was always reminding herself that Shen Shu was now the empress of the Celestial Dynasty and would live in this splendid palace forever and would never be able to leave.
But the canary hanging in the cage on the corridor outside the window is very popular among the ladies in this palace. It is served by dedicated people and its eating habits are almost better than those of the people below. Isn't life in the golden cage more comfortable than outside? ? At least you don’t have to worry about what you’re going to eat next.
But Canary is still struggling to escape. Why is this?
Nothing is more important than freedom.
Do the eunuchs who serve the canary in the palace understand what the canary wants? They all say that they will not be able to be the master in the next life. It is not bad to be the canary that the master loves. At least there is someone to take care of her and she does not have to suffer. So much suffering.
But Canary hopes to live freely outside...
Just like Shen Shu was originally an eagle soaring on the grassland, but was mistaken for a canary and caught in a golden cage. Now she doesn't want to stay here anymore, she wants to get out.
But how easy is it?
Then Shen Shu raised her head, sat up, and said, "Let's go."
Go face those fates that are difficult for you to face.

At this time, Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu saw that Shen Shu had not come yet, and were about to send someone to find her again: "Did something happen?"
Liang Huanqing also looked at the door with a worried look: "Not only did Concubine Shen not come, but even Fuyan didn't come back either."
Fuyan is a palace servant in Qianning Palace. He is always by his side. He seems to be a reliable person and nothing will happen to him.
When Qin Ruilan saw it, she said, "Could it be that Concubine Shen doesn't want to come? After all, you and I wouldn't dare to face such a thing."
While waiting just now, Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu also talked about what happened recently. Qin Ruilan now roughly knows what happened in the palace recently.
Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu looked at each other. Qin Ruilan was right. There was a high probability that such a situation would not be possible. Who would be willing to face it?
For Shen Shu, Ji Ziqi is the redemption she has been waiting for for a long time...
"Sister is right, but it is really not something difficult to face right now. According to what Wang Shu said just now, Ji Ziqi likes Concubine Shen. Since they are in love, the matter is actually half done. Yes." Liang Huanqing said.
Qi Wangshu and Qin Ruilan nodded, but then said, "But now that we know that they are in love but can't be together, wouldn't it be even more sad?"
"There will always be a way..." Liang Huanqing said helplessly.
At this time, Shen Shu also arrived at Qianning Palace.
"Empress Dowager Shen has arrived——"
Fukuhiko shouted loudly outside the door.
Shen Shu is the concubine, and they are all their elders. This is the etiquette in the palace, and it is also a gap that cannot be crossed.
The three of them all got up and walked out, and saw Shen Shu who was walking in with the support of Jingyin. They looked at each other and it was obvious that Shen Shu was in a bad mood.
Her eyes are like water, with a bone-chilling coldness, and she seems to be able to see through everything. Her fingers are slender, and her skin is like gelatin. They are white and pink, and they seem to be able to squeeze out water. Her red lips are smiling like a beauty, and every move is like dancing. Her soft black hair hangs straight down. Ankles, the fragrance emitted when dancing with the wind can attract butterflies. The waist is slender, the limbs are slender, and it has a fairy-like refined temperament. Dressed in white clothes, dark patterns of purple and blue butterflies can be seen. A head of black hair is draped down smoothly, with only a few picks. A few strands are lightly tied with butterfly tassels. A butterfly carved from a night pearl hangs on the forehead, emitting a full of light. There is no powder on the face, but it still cannot conceal the stunning appearance. A crystal necklace around the neck makes it even more beautiful. Her collarbones were clear and crisp. The dark jade bracelets on her wrists highlighted her skin like snow. On her feet were a pair of gilt shoes decorated with fluorescent gemstones. Her beautiful eyes were flowing as she gently stepped into the threshold, her skirts flying, as if she had lost her breath in the darkness. A pale butterfly with an indifferent expression, like a fairy who cannot eat fireworks from the world, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as ethereal and gorgeous as fireworks.
Wearing a slightly simple plain shirt, it is elegant, refined and naturally beautiful. The dark blue silk thread is embroidered with blooming flowers of the other side on the material, extending from the skirt to the waist, but it does not look charming, but makes it look more charming. A somewhat cold temperament. A dark purple wide belt gently girds the waist, showing off the slender figure, but also giving people a sense of elegance and luxury. The light blue open gauze dress is draped loosely on the shoulders. On the top, the cuffs and neckline are embellished with tiny pearls. The hollow butterfly pattern is right in front of the flower on the top. It sways gently as people move around, just like a real butterfly is dancing. Every move attracts attention. The clothes have a sense of flowing waves. Half of the blue silk is tied into a silk bun, and the other half is densely braided into long slender braids. It is only decorated with a moon-white jade hairpin, embodying a kind of femininity and charm. Use charcoal black to draw the willow eyebrows, which is more The skin is fair and delicate, and the lips are lightly smeared with light red lipstick, which is pretty and charming. The afternoon breeze caresses the face and wakes up, the water-red skirt is embroidered with double butterflies, the beaded green silk willow moon bun, and a little bright red eyebrows. Makeup Right, lift up the hem of the skirt, the lotus and jade stand upright, just in response to the sentence of "coming out of the mud but not stained, washing the clear lotus without being evil", the big and bright eyes are as black as freshly soaked ink crystals, and they are scattered all over the floor. Starlight. This sweet girl seems to be a fairy who accidentally fell into the mortal world and was stained by the slightest trace of earthly connections. Just one look at her makes people suddenly lose their soul.
The impeccably regular facial features are carefully arranged with beautiful outlines. Under the light shadow of the eyes, there is a natural noble and melancholy temperament, like the snow orchids at the bottom of the deep valley, exuding alienation and loneliness from the bones. Piao.
Liao's skirt and coat are tightly wrapped in silk and satin, showing her exquisite and alluring figure. The blue butterfly coat covers her fair skin. There are blue stripes around her, but if you look closely, you will see a dark blue light. The crystal clear inverted earrings hang down and sway. They are scattered around the shoulders.
The black hair is pulled up with a blood-red platycodon flower hairpin, and inserted diagonally into the flowing black hair. A thin layer of powder is applied, the eyebrows are as curved as willows, and the forehead is lightly dotted with vermilion, but it seems charming. The red piece is sucked into the red lips with delicate hands, like blood.
. His laziness is undisguised. His demeanor is blue.
The coat is made of thin and pure white gauze, which vividly reveals the graceful figure. The waist-length hair is blown all over the sky by the wind, and a few strands of hair fly playfully in front of the face, making it even more elegant and natural.
There is no decoration, just a light blue ribbon, gently tying a strand of hair. With a slight smile, the pear vortex appears, the hands are like catkins, the skin is like gelatin, the collar is like a cricket grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, and the head is like a rhinoceros.
She has beautiful eyebrows, a charming smile, and beautiful eyes. Her eyebrows are like green feathers, her teeth are like shells, and her waist is like a plain waist. A blue chain is lying casually on her wrist, which makes her skin white, tender and shiny. Her eyes are as pure as water,
Occasionally there is some melancholy, giving people a feeling of elusiveness.
After seeing Concubine Shen, everyone saluted: "Greetings to Concubine Shen, Concubine Shen may live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
Shen Shu quickly asked them to get down, then looked at Qin Ruilan and said with a smile: "Miss Qin is here too."
Qin Ruilan nodded and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do, so I came to the palace with the princess. How is the princess doing recently?"
Shen Shu nodded, stepped forward, took her hand, and said, "The Ai family is doing well recently, but when you ask this, it seems like you are calling me old."
Everyone laughed.
No one mentioned anything about Shen Shu and Ji Ziqi, presumably they didn't know how to speak.
However, Shen Shu was also very nervous. She knew that when they asked her to come, they must have something to say, but the delay in saying anything for so long made her feel anxious. She would always think, worry, and be afraid about what they were going to do.
What will you say?
Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu looked at each other, and then they knew very well that Shen Shu was running away from something.
The four people have different thoughts. Shen Shu doesn't know how to face all this. She is worried that they will tell her directly, but she also wants to know what they want to tell her.
Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu knew what Shen Shu was thinking, so they didn't know how to speak, so they followed them silently.
Qin Ruilan also knew roughly what happened to them, and Shen Shu was probably afraid of facing it, so she walked with her, fearing that if she said a few words to them, the cause of the matter would be revealed.
But why didn't Qin Ruilan know?
"The High Concubine is young and beautiful. It's not what I said." Qin Ruilan smiled at the Concubine Shen.
Shen Shu held Qin Ruilan's hand tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw in the water, wanting to hold on tightly for fear of losing it.
"Why did you come to the palace today?" Shen Shu asked with a smile.
Qin Ruilan replied: "I haven't seen the Queen for a long time. I heard... I heard that the Queen is in better health, so I came to take a look."
The Queen is back in favor. This word "back in favor" cannot be mentioned clearly in the palace. How can there be any talk about falling out of favor and returning to favor? It is obviously a matter of the emperor's attitude.
Shen Shu smiled. There was a crabapple tree in front of the main hall of Qianning Palace. Under the tree was a pavilion with seats for sitting. Liang Huanqing often placed a royal couch under the tree and often rested on it.
At this time, Shen Shu was unwilling to enter the main hall to discuss matters. At that time, she would inevitably have to communicate with Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu, so Shen Shu tried her best to divert their attention, or in other words, to escape. Issues.
Shen Shu pulled Qin Ruilan to sit down in the pavilion and said, "Miss Qin and the Queen have a really good relationship. If you don't know, you really think they are biological sisters."
Qin Ruilan nodded and smiled and said, "My daughter and the Queen are indeed sisters."
Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu looked at each other, followed helplessly, and sat down in the pavilion.
Qin Ruilan glanced at them, but Shen Shu's eyes were on Qin Ruilan from beginning to end, unwilling to look at them.
Shen Shu looked at Qin Ruilan and looked up and down. She had a goose-yellow cloud-smoked sweater embroidered with elegant orchids, a meandering floor-length skirt with ancient patterns of double butterflies and clouds in the shape of a thousand waterways, and her arms were holding blue clouds and peony mist gauze. She had a bun with clouds, A hollowed-out gold walking rocker is inserted sideways, with a face as charming as the moon and eyes that are full of hope and sultry.
The shoulders are shaved, the waist is as plain, the eyebrows are like green feathers, and the muscles are as white as snow. The black hair is wrapped around the waist with a light blue ribbon, and it sways slightly when walking, showing the delicate feeling. Dressed in plain brocade. The clothes are covered with aqua-blue gauze. The breeze blows and the gauze flutters. The whole person exudes a faint aura. The skin is like gelatin, which can be broken by blowing. The lips are cherry red, no need to blush, and the slender willow eyebrows are lightly raised, so there is no need to smudge. , a smile outlined on her cherry lips, but there was a faint chill. Dressed in a plain shirt, the sky blue dark patterns of the other shore flower flickered in and out as she walked. Her waist was lightly tied with a lake blue brocade ribbon, and she wore a simple high bun and The messy bangs swaying in the breeze on his forehead showed a casual look, and a pure white gemstone hairpin emitted brilliant spots of light. The corners of his mouth were darkly curled, and his eyes as cold as frozen lake water looked particularly clear.
Her face is as creamy as the spring water in her sleep, she wears soft white peony smoke gauze, a meandering white floor-length smoke cage plum blossom skirt, and her body is tied with soft smoke, and it really has a pinky, crispy and delicate flavor. Her petite face is as big as a palm, She has skin that can be broken, delicate facial features, the clearest deep blue eyes, and the most beautiful rose-colored flowing hair that makes people jealous. Because she has taken the Ningxin Pill prepared by her mother since she was a child, her body radiates She has a light floral fragrance. She wears an ivory white floor-length dress, covered with a floor-length gauze inlaid with silver threads and embroidered with colorful cherry blossoms. Her hair is rolled up like half a chrysanthemum, and a peach blossom patch is carefully pasted on her forehead, which makes her complexion look spring-like and her lips are cherry. Big eyes and cloud-like hair on the temples.
Wearing a light-colored pleated skirt with several butterflies embroidered on the hem, a dazzling orchid tattooed between her eyebrows, and a purple tassel inserted sideways, her big watery eyes seemed to be able to compose everything, and her lips were not reddish, but slightly red. Applying rouge, her long hair flutters in the wind, accompanied by the sound of hanging, which is confusing and makes people feel affection.
Seeing this, Shen Shu seemed to be deliberately looking for a topic, and said: "Miss Qin is so charming. I think many young talents will fall in love with her when she comes to Beijing."
Shen Shu had only met Qin Ruilan a few times and didn't know anything about her and General Wei Shen, so she just started talking like this.
