"What's the matter?" Si Haochen drank all the tea in the cup and began to wash the cups, one after another, including all the unused ones.
"The emperor's men have arrived in Xuanzhou. They are waiting for nothing." Bai Shen was also confused. When ordinary people see a gold mine, shouldn't they take it for themselves immediately?
"Haha, do you think you don't need people, money or materials to open mountains and mines?" Si Haochen felt that Dan Xu had really grown up and could calm down, using the "mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind".
"Should we inform Qin Mo to take action first?" Bai Shen was really afraid that the cooked duck would fly away.
"No need, the third child of his family has been running around for so many years, so he is not considered a straw bag." Si Haochen pressed his fingers on the table, "After Shen Bichi sends those things back, you can quietly move them to my private treasury. go. "
"Ah? The princess's dowry?" Bai Shen plucked his ears, feeling that he must have heard wrongly.
In the morning, the prince also said that as soon as the things were returned, he would deliver them to the princess. It sounded like he felt that he was too slow to do things, which was not good for him. It was only noon, weren't you in a hurry? The princess's dowry was also moved to the prince's private room. He went to the treasury and saw that the dowry list was indeed rich, but there were no rare treasures. Bai Shen felt that the prince still looked down on those things and shouldn't have the intention of keeping them for himself.
"Ah what..." Since she was so concerned about the dowry and it was left in the palace, she probably wouldn't leave the palace easily. "Isn't there still some left in the palace? Let's move it now."
"Oh." The prince is trying to seize the princess's dowry. Bai Shen feels that the tall and majestic image of the prince has collapsed instantly. He suddenly feels that the princess is so pitiful. What should he do...
Shen Bichi felt that everything had gone wrong for Princess Qinghuang since she entered the palace.
She finally got some medicinal wine from Doctor Xue, which cured her ankle that had been in pain for many days. The steward of the warehouse came every day to urge her to return the princess's dowry that she had "taken by mistake".
The things he sent home had just arrived at Shen's house not long ago and he only needed some money. My father had already replenished them and packed them up for transportation back. But what should I do with the things I gave to my aunt?
At that time, her cousin passed away, and there was no hope of joining the palace as a concubine. Her father was working as an official, so she had to rely on her aunt if she wanted to marry into a high family in the imperial capital.
So I selected the three best things in Princess Qinghuang's dowry and sent them to the palace - a half-human-high blood coral, a golden pearl curtain and an emerald Guanyin statue.
Shen Bichi thought about it, but she didn't dare to ask her aunt to get these things back, so she begged her father to go to the gold and jade shop to buy them. Not to mention that the largest coral ornament in the shop was only one or two feet high, and golden pearls were even rarer. , it is simply not enough to make up a bead curtain. Even the emerald Guanyin statue costs tens of thousands of silver...
When Concubine Shen married into the royal family, in order to look good, she emptied half of Shen's mansion as part of her dowry.
Now it is absolutely impossible for the Shen family to pay for her daughter-in-law.
Shen Bichi looked at the sky outside and gritted her teeth: "Shuanghuan is changing, I want to enter the palace."
"Miss, it's getting late. Let's go into the palace now. It won't be long before the key to the palace door is locked." Shuanghuan continued to persuade, "I'd like to pay my respects to the concubine. It's better to go there early tomorrow morning."
"Where does all this nonsense come from? Just do whatever I ask you to do." It is best to go at this time. If you want to get your things back, you have to confess to your aunt.
My aunt cherishes face the most in her life. She knows the whole story, but I don't know how to punish her. Anyway, she will definitely leave the palace before the key is locked, so that she can be punished for a while.
Shen Bichi knew very well that when she went to ask for punishment, she should dress up like a poor boy. But she didn't dare to go into the palace.
Dressing too shabbily will disgrace her aunt, who will be even more angry when she sees her.
In order to show weakness, I specially wore a plain hibiscus skirt and chose a low-key white jade headband for jewelry.
Shuanghuan and Cuihuan helped Shen Bichi, who was wearing a jingling ring, get into the carriage. They happened to meet Xue Wanwan who was out buying dowry and carrying large and small bags back.
Except for the princes and princesses who entered and exited through the main entrance, everyone else could only use the side entrance. Therefore, one of the two carriages had to go out and the other had to enter the alley near the side entrance.
Normally at times like this, those with lower status should just step back and get out of the way.
But these two, one is a cousin who lives in the palace, and the other is a concubine who has not yet married. If you look carefully, they are not serious masters of the palace, and it is impossible to say who is better than the other.
The two of them didn't like each other, so they just stood there and refused to give in.
"Sure enough, people in the mountains have no rules. They move into the mansion before they even get married. A decent girl just wants to be a concubine and has to wait for her husband's family to carry her in a sedan. I've never seen this kind of person sneak into the mansion by herself. ." Shen Bichi's voice was not loud, but Xue Wanwan, who had just got off the carriage, heard it clearly.
Xue Wanwan was originally dissatisfied with the status of the concubine, but when Shen Bichi said that she was worse than a concubine, she suddenly became angry.
Looking at Shen Bichi's gorgeous clothes and accessories, which are even more noble than the Princess Yunqin I saw that day, I suddenly felt that all the jewelry and clothing materials I bought didn't smell good anymore.
"I stayed in the palace to treat the prince's heart disease, but you came to the palace to accompany the concubine, but the concubine is not in the palace. What are you thinking, do you think others don't know?" Xue Wanwan turned over. He rolled his eyes and said, "I want 'cousin and cousin to be a perfect match', but it's a pity that even if the prince likes me, a woman from the world, he can't like you!"
"You..." Shen Bichi was so angry that her head was buzzing, "You still put money on your face and said you were treating your cousin's illness. Have you touched a piece of my cousin's clothes after you have been in the house for so many days? ?”
"..." Xue Wanwan was choked and couldn't speak. She really wanted to stay with her father to treat him and have more contact with Prince Yun, but she was stopped outside Meiyuan every time, let alone Prince Yun's clothes. Corner, she didn't even see his back.
Shen Bichi took out the badge given by Concubine Shen and waved it to Xue Wanwan's coachman. The driver was from the palace, so naturally he recognized the badge and immediately got out of the way. Shen Bichi snorted and got into the car. , the carriage clattered away.
Xue Wanwan was so angry that a Buddha was born, and the Buddha ascended to heaven. He glared at the coachman fiercely, making the tall man tremble. Xue Wanwan secretly made up his mind to make Prince Yun treat her wholeheartedly and pamper her to heaven, and then You can trample under your feet those who look down on you.
Shen Bichi walked into the Changchun Palace under the sunset. The palace attendants were surprised when they saw her: "Why did Miss Shen enter the palace at this hour?"
