Shen Huan raised her head and met Xi Chao's worried eyes. Every time she saw these eyes, her heart would quickly calm down and she would smile and say, "I'm fine."
Xichao nodded and asked: "Brother Ten is getting married, can you prepare gifts?"
Shen Huan said with a bitter face: "He is a prince, and he has everything he can ask for. What else can I give him?"
Xi Chao said: "It doesn't matter what, as long as it's your wish."
Shen Huanmin thought hard for a while, but still had a bitter look on her face, and said: "You know that there is nothing you can do about me, so why don't you dance for him like you did on his birthday in the past? "
Suddenly she felt her hands tighten, Xichao's expression darkened, and she said coldly: "You don't remember what I said. Didn't I tell you not to dance in front of others?"
Shen Wen looked at him in surprise, and he quickly changed his expression, which meant: "Don't ask me again when I said this!" Not only did he laugh, but he said: "I know, that time ...Aren’t you here?”
She also knew that she was a bit unreasonable, but that time was Lao Shi's birthday... This time she couldn't help it, it was her wedding after all!
But she quickly said with a smile: "Don't Yanji have a sister who is still in Fumanlou? Why don't I ask Boss Hu to get it and give it to Lao Shi? It's better to be a concubine in the palace than to be a performer outside. !”
Xichao looked at her in surprise and said, "Where did you learn this problem? You actually learned how to give concubines to others. In the past, Brother Ten was not married, but now he is getting married. As a wedding gift, he gave concubines to others. What’s the point?”
Shen Wen chuckled and said, "You can't even make a joke!"
Xi Chao breathed a sigh of relief. According to Shen Huan's unruly behavior, if she really sent a concubine there, it would really not be impossible. He stroked her hair lovingly and said with a smile: "How about I give you a gift in the name of both of us?"
Shen Huan didn't understand at first and asked: "Why do you want to give a gift in the name of both of us?" Then he understood, his face turned red again, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Xichao loved her shy and timid appearance. Her thick forehead covered her plump forehead, and her slender nose was slightly tilted. Looking down from below, following the curvature of her jaw, she was so beautiful that it fit her hands perfectly. He held his hands in front of his chest, and gently twisted his fingers because of shyness. He smiled, put his hand on hers, pulled her into his arms, and held it gently like this.
The two of them stood quietly under the red wall. A group of palace people came from a distance. Xichao had to let go of her hand. Shen Huan raised her head and smiled at him, saying: "You go back, I will get to the imperial court later." Go ahead, pay more attention to preparing the gift from Lao Shi."
Xichao nodded and said: "Don't worry!" What he said was very serious, as if it was not only the gift, but also other things. In short, as long as he was there, she could rest assured about everything else.
Shen Huan turned around and was about to leave when Xi Chao suddenly asked with a smile: "What would you say if someone randomly gave me a concubine when we got married?"
Shen Huan was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand generously and said: "In that case, I will accept it for you, and let you enjoy the blessings of everyone!"
Xichao's expression changed, as if he was very unhappy. Shen Huan deliberately looked triumphant, but Xichao smiled and whispered: "Brother Ten is right, you are enough for me to bear it. I don’t dare to ask for a few more.”
Shen Wen waved her hand as if to hit him, but he turned around and ran away.
The group of palace people approached and saluted her. She put on her usual indifferent look and nodded arrogantly. When the palace people walked by, she looked at Xi Chao who had gone away, and the warm smile she had not seen for a long time appeared on her face. meaning
Xichao, do you know that I have a secret wish in my heart, which is the reason why I have not taken Chu Xichen’s life so far. But once that wish comes true, can you and I really grow old together?
With a smile from the bottom of her heart, Shen Huan returned to Shangyang Palace, not caring that the smile spread from the bottom of her heart to her face. So, when Chu Xichen stared at her with strange eyes, she suddenly felt her facial muscles twitching.
She forgot how charming her smile was
But he knew that her smile would only be reserved for that person
My heart, which should have been filled with joy when I saw her smile, suddenly started to feel a dull pain.
He could only pretend to be unhappy and ask with a straight face: "Where are you going?"
Shen Huan said calmly: "I just met Lao Shi. Congratulations on his wedding."
She was hiding something, and he knew it, but he didn't expose it and just nodded slightly and said: "The bride is a young lady from the Dong family. It was Princess Hui who begged me back in the year, so she was not allowed to participate in the selection of the old ten. , it’s pretty good, what do you think?”
Shen Huan laughed: "I've never seen her, how do I know? I can't climb the wall and peek in like Lao Shi..." After saying this, she suddenly felt speechless, covered her mouth, and laughed twice. However, at the same time, she I thought in my heart, if in the past, I knew which girl Lao Shi had chosen, she would have been like him. Even if she couldn't climb the wall to get in, she would have found a chance to meet her anyway.
Xichen said solemnly: "Did Lao Shi climb the wall? He is about to get married, why is he still not in shape!"
Shen Huan said hurriedly: "I also mentioned him, but he has been like this since he was a child. You watched him grow up, how could you not know?"
Xichen glanced at her and no longer struggled with this issue, but asked: "You have been friends since childhood, have you ever thought about what gift to give?"
Shen Wen was surprised why he was asked this question today, and just said: "No, we will talk about it then!"
Xichen frowned and said: "What good things can I give you at that time? The Ministry of Internal Affairs has just sent a gift list, and I saw a set of antique vases with gilt cloisonné enamel and entwined lotus patterns in it. I will give it in your name! The emperor is dignified. "Shangyi, the gift given to the prince cannot be too shabby."
Shen Wen opened her mouth and was stunned for a long time but still didn't say anything. She probably wouldn't think that even if she sent it to him, Lao Shi wouldn't think it was from her, the imperial minister. However, she still muttered: "Just go and go..."
Xichen smiled mockingly: "Isn't it true that I can't say it?"
Shen Huan said anxiously: "Isn't it because I was angry with you that day? How could I not go?"
Xichen's smile appeared in his eyes, and he said as if he was joking: "Oh? So you are angry with me." When he said this, his tone was low, with a little smile, and it always sounded ambiguous.
Shen Huan hesitated and was about to retreat, but he waved to her, handed her a piece of white paper on the jade case, and said: "This is the order for leaving the palace on the 20th, which has been stamped on Shangyang Palace." The time for returning to the palace is Youshi. If it passes Youshi, you will not be able to come in."
It turns out that he had already prepared it! He took the slip, took a look at it and put it in his arms
There are strict rules for the entrance and exit of palace people, which are controlled by the emperor and empress. The seal of Shangyang Palace or Fengchen Palace is stamped, and the time of leaving the palace and the time of returning to the palace are written. After that point, you either don’t come back. If When you come back, you will definitely have to suffer a lot of physical pain.
(ps: These chapters seem to be nothing at first, but there is a fierce fight below, and the moment to decide Shen Huan's fate has come!)
