He comforted Ye Canghao a few more words and sent someone to urge him. Then Ye Canghao reluctantly left.
Shen Huan only felt bitter in her heart. Originally, she was just using Ye Canghao, and he obviously knew it. Why bother? Why bother to feel sorry for herself? If the Queen Mother and the Emperor hope so much that she will take the position of Princess Qi. Disappear, then, okay! Just...don't hurt her child!
"Qingyue, let's go out for a walk. I'm feeling so depressed," Shen Huan said.
Qingyue hurriedly came over to help her and said: "It's okay for you to go out for a walk, the weather is good today and the sun is very bright. I have visited most of the interesting and exquisite places in the palace these days. How about letting me take you out for a walk?" "
Shen Huan said optionally: "Whatever"
So, Qingyue took Shen Wen to the Imperial Garden, which was not far from Nuanyu Pavilion. Although it was winter now, the Imperial Garden was similar to the Four Seasons Garden of the Northern Palace. It was also divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter. Therefore, Yimei here The plum blossoms in the garden are blooming beautifully!
Shen Huan looked at the clusters of red plums and suddenly remembered the red maple forest in the Jingqiu Garden in the North. It was just like here, with endless flaming red trees as far as the eye could see.
A nameless sadness welled up in my heart, thinking about the North Country, Xichen, and Canghao. Thinking about it again, I felt very helpless, like a dead tree drifting in the sea, floating aimlessly. , I don’t know when I can dock
Xichen, I haven’t heard from him for so long. He must have gone back to the North Country?
Ye Canghao, judging from his appearance, slowly accepting Qianye Xue is not a problem
What about you? Should you continue to be the titular Princess Qi, or should you simply comply with the wishes of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, give up the position of Princess Qi, and fly away with your children?
But, will they let him take him away? Even if they think this child belongs to Cang Hao, can they tolerate him? Can they really tolerate him?
Thinking like this, Shen Huan felt a chill on her back and a shuddering feeling.
"Princess, there is a slope there, and there is a pavilion on the slope. Let's go in and sit down. We can see the entire Yimei Garden!" Qingyue said, interrupting Shen Huan's thoughts.
Shen Huan took a look, and sure enough he saw a pavilion on the slope, so he followed Qingyue and went in to sit there.
Entering the pavilion, you can indeed take in the entire scenery of Yimei Garden. Shen Han couldn't help but admire it secretly.
Qingyue said proudly: "How beautiful it is, what do you think, Princess?"
Shen Huan nodded: "It is very beautiful."
In the fiery red plum forest, a figure even more gorgeous than the red plum suddenly appeared. Shen Huan looked over. Although the woman's face could not be seen clearly, she was wearing a fiery red narrow-waisted dress in such a cold weather. , looks slender and slim, must have good appearance
The woman was coming this way. Shen Huan thought for a while and said to Qingyue: "Let's go."
Qingyue didn't know why. She followed Shen Huan's gaze and saw that the woman in red had already approached. Qingyue called out in a low voice: "Concubine?"
Shen Huan frowned, Qingyue explained: "She is the emperor's newly concubine. It is said that she is very favored. The emperor has never canonized concubines. This time he made an exception. It shows that this concubine is very capable!"
Shen Huan didn't care about this and just said: "So it's better for us to leave so as not to disturb this queen's enjoyment."
The Western Kingdom is different from the Northern Kingdom. The concubines have a very high status. Above the concubines are the concubines. Ye Cangqiong has no concubines, so this concubine is considered to be the woman with the highest status in the harem.
Qingyue nodded. She heard that her new favorite didn't seem to have a good temper, and she didn't want to face him, so she supported Shen Huan and wanted to walk out.
"Hey, those in front of you, stop!" Unexpectedly, things didn't go as planned. The concubines saw them and asked them to stop.
Shen Huan sighed secretly and had no choice but to stop and wait for this aunt to see what she could do.
Panting, Xi Bin climbed up the slope, walked into the pavilion, and stood in front of Shen Han. Shen Han took a brief look at Xi Bin's face, and was stunned. This person's face seemed familiar.
Concubine Xi was also a little surprised when she saw her. She looked at her belly again and said with a smile: "Oh, who am I talking about? It turns out to be Princess Qi! If you don't rest in Nuanyu Pavilion, why are you running around? If there is a collision, My fetus has moved, what should I do?"
This person's tone is very unfriendly, especially when he talks about Nuanyu Pavilion, he seems to be angry about something.
Qingyue quietly whispered in Shen Huan's ear: "Concubine Xi has begged the emperor for a long time to live in Nuanyu Pavilion, but was rejected. The emperor turned around and gave Nuanyu Pavilion to you, Princess."
So that's it. Shen Huan smiled apologetically at Concubine Xi and said, "I have nothing to do. The weather is just right, so it's almost time to go out for a walk. I was just about to go back. I don't want to disturb Concubine Xi as she enjoys the plum blossoms."
Concubine Xi raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you know I'm here to appreciate the plum blossoms?"
Shen Huan was stunned. There was no other scenery here except plum blossoms. If not to appreciate the plum blossoms, what else would she be enjoying? But of course she would not say that. She just smiled and said: "That is my concubine's misunderstanding of your Majesty's meaning. "
Xi Bin snorted softly, looked Shen Huan up and down a few more times, and then asked: "How many months have it been?"
Shen Huan was stunned for a moment and replied: "Eight months" is actually nine months. Thinking of this, Shen Huan got a headache. When the time comes, the baby will be born at full term. How can others think that it was premature? Woolen cloth?
Concubine Xi said nothing more, waved her hand and said: "Okay, you go back! Are you comfortable living in Nuanyu Pavilion?"
Shen Huan was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Nuanyu Pavilion was originally the residence of the concubine, and he had no intention of quarreling with her. He really didn't know what to say.
Concubine Xi frowned and said: "It's not fun at all for you to look like this, stupid and stupid! I don't know why the emperor loves you so much! Maybe it's because you are Princess Qi? Ha, then I'm overthinking it!"
Shen Huan watched her talking to herself and didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, Xibi suddenly smiled to herself and said, "Okay, you can enjoy the plum blossoms, I'm going back."
She came and left just as quickly. Shen Huan and Qingyue could only stand there dumbfounded.
"Qingyue, I'm a little tired from standing. It's cold on this stone bench. You go back and bring the two cushions. I'll sit down for a while and then go back."
"No, I forgot it when I came out just now. I will go back to get it right now. You must be careful while leaning against the pillar here."
"Yes." Shen Huan nodded, leaning against the pillar, Qing Yue trotted away, and soon she was gone. Shen Huan was thinking about the strange words Xi Bin said just now, her appearance, and the fact that she was so close to him. At that time, Shen Huan could not smell a trace of smell. It was not that Shen Huan's nose had deteriorated, but that there was no smell of rouge and gouache on this concubine.
No wonder she is so favored, her face is extremely clean without powder, and she can still have such a gorgeous appearance without any powder. Xibi indeed has the capital to be favored so quickly.
It's just that her appearance does look a bit like... Shen Huan couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.
