As soon as she saw the emperor, she knelt down, held his clothes and cried sadly, saying that she was wrong.
The emperor was stunned for a moment. His previous reprimand to Concubine Shu was just a random excuse. He couldn't remember what he said to Concubine Shu, so he asked: "What mistake did you make?"
Concubine Shu almost blurted out that I shouldn't have set eyes on the East Palace, but luckily I stopped it in time, and wiped my tears and said, "I shouldn't have only cared about myself and not taken good care of Wei'er."
Oh, so that’s what happened!
The emperor remained silent: "It's good that you know."
Concubine Shu looked at his face and felt that the emperor was in a good mood. This matter should be over, so she wiped her tears and hugged him: "Your Majesty! I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you so much!"
After all, after having doted on her for many years, the emperor liked her very much and nodded: "Then my dear, stay here and have a meal together!"
Concubine Shu was overjoyed: "Yes."
In the past few years, the number of escorts has decreased a lot. Today was a rare opportunity. Concubine Shu was very attentive and tried her best to make the emperor happy.
Seeing the joyful look on the emperor's face, Concubine Shu saw the right opportunity and made a request: "Your Majesty, speaking of which, I haven't gone to Daguangming Temple to offer incense for a long time. Spring has been blooming recently. Can I go there once?"
Daguangming Temple is a royal temple. Going there to offer incense is a rare opportunity for the concubines to leave the palace and relax.
The emperor said casually: "Okay, you can go if you want!"
Concubine Shu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then she mentioned it casually, "Speaking of which, Women's Day is coming soon. Do you want to ask Chang Ning and the others to go together?"
The emperor continued to nod: "Let's go together if you want to."
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for them."
The emperor waved his hand and didn't pay attention at all.
…
Princess Changning was extremely happy when she got the news.
"It's been a long time since I left the palace. I didn't expect Concubine Shu to be so considerate one day!"
Dan Mo was tidying up his pen and ink while joking: "Princess, you just left the palace half a month ago! You also became a chivalrous woman who sacrificed yourself for others. Your heroic deeds of saving people are still circulated among the people."
When this was mentioned, Princess Changning became very excited.
"Was I particularly cool that day? I just jumped out of the second floor window, saving one person with one hand, and the other with the other..."
Jin Shu said angrily: "Princess! You must not do what you did last time again. How dangerous it was! That's the second floor. What should I do if I fall?"
Princess Changning didn't care: "Didn't you fall? I am a martial arts practitioner."
"But you are also a noble person!" Jin Shu said, "Last time I went out in a hurry and didn't bring my bodyguard with me. Next time something like this happens, just call the bodyguard."
After saying that, she glared at Danmo again: "You, don't always fan the flames of trouble. With such status as a princess, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in court, let alone commit a personal risk?"
Dan Mo stuck out his tongue and listened obediently.
In any case, going out is a happy thing. When we went to school the next day, Princess Jinghua said: "Concubine Shu also sent someone to invite us, and my mother-in-law agreed."
Princess Jiayi also nodded.
Princess Changning was very happy and took Xu Yin's hand: "Ayin, can you go too? You are away from home and have no family here. I invite you to celebrate the festival with me, okay?"
The princess personally invited her, how could she refuse? Xu Yin smiled and nodded.
So at first, Concubine Shu just said that she was going out to relax, and more and more people were invited. In the end, it turned into a grand event. Every family was proud to be invited to the meeting, and most of the dignitaries in the capital were included.
On the way back, Xiaoman said: "Miss, the fashion in this capital is very different from that in Nanyuan, and the clothes and accessories are also different. This Women's Day is so grand, it can be said that it is the first time you have officially appeared in the capital.
In the circle of powerful people, should we make some new clothes?"
Xu Yin looked at her in surprise.
Xiao Man touched his face in confusion: "What's wrong? Miss, is there something on my face?"
Xu Yin shook his head and smiled: "No, I just didn't expect that Xiaoman would be so thoughtful."
Xiaoman was very happy: "That's right! Before I came here, I asked sister Xia Zhi to help with some special training. Even without her, I can still be a good lady's confidant maid!"
Seeing her proud look, Xu Yin laughed: "Okay! I'll listen to you, let's go to the embroidery workshop."
Xiaoman immediately shouted to the driver: "Uncle Zhang, go to Jinyifang!"
Xu Yin objected: "No, go to Mingyue Embroidery Workshop."
"Huh?" Xiao Man was stunned for a moment, "Miss, where is Mingyue Embroidery Studio? Is it very famous?"
"Yes!" Xu Yin smiled meaningfully, "The embroiderers there are very good!"
…
The spring light was bright outside, Xue Ru opened the window and watched the crowds of people on the street.
It's been more than half a month, and she hasn't even dared to take a step out. She's just so bored every day, and she doesn't know when the day will end.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and a sharp voice sounded immediately: "Why did you open the window? What should I do if someone sees me? Close it quickly!"
The woman who spoke put the food box away, walked over quickly, looked around cautiously, and closed the window with a snap.
Xue Ru's girl was so angry that her face turned green, and she said angrily: "Just open the window so much, there must be some ventilation, right? Otherwise, she will get sick from the boredom."
"It's better to be sick than to be taken away! Miss Xue is not afraid, but don't bring trouble to our embroidery workshop." The mother-in-law said these words and left.
The girl stamped her feet: "Girl, look at her! It's true that a tiger has been bullied by a dog, and such a rough woman dares to look down on us!"
Xue Ru looked calm: "It's not the first day, why can't you calm down?"
After saying this, the girl couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Yes, since the girl came back from Nanyuan last year, she has been feeling this kind of anger for more than half a year. Finally, the master summoned her a while ago, thinking that she could turn over, but it turned out...
"Let's eat first!" Xue Ru opened the food box.
Fortunately, these people are not stingy enough, and their meals are normal.
The girl hurried over to prepare the dishes, still complaining: "It's that Miss Xu San who has harmed the girl again and again. She has been hiding for half a year before, and I don't know how long she will have to hide this time."
Xue Ru buried her head in eating and said nothing. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would not be able to hold back her anger. This time things were not going well and the master was really angry, so she could only endure it.
After the master and servant finished eating, the girl packed up the food box and sent it downstairs.
As I was passing by, I heard a sound coming from the shop in front.
"I wonder what I call this young lady?"
"Our lady's surname is Xu, and she is the third in the family."
"It turns out to be Miss Xu San..."
The girl was startled at first, and then laughed. There are so many people named Xu in the capital, how could it be such a coincidence that it was Miss Xu San?
She was about to go upstairs when she heard another voice coming from the front: "Our lady has just arrived in the capital not long ago, and she wants to make some popular styles in Beijing."
"Oh? No wonder Miss Xu San's dress looks a bit special, but she doesn't know where your hometown is?"
"Nanyuan, shopkeeper, have you heard of it?"
The girl's expression changed, she turned around and rushed upstairs.
