A Lady’s Tranquility

Chapter 60: cat

Views:

Chen Shuyi has never been so stimulated since she was a child, and because she had a disagreement with Jiang Xuening, she couldn't bear it no matter what.

Even if Shen Zhiyi didn't appear, this slap might not really fall.

After all, everyone is reading with the eldest princess, and a few quarrels can still be said to be a quarrel. Whoever starts first will be the one who will be in the wrong. She doesn't need to have such a toss with Jiang Xuening.

It was not too soon or too late for Princess Keleyang to appear at this juncture.

So embarrassing.

It's simply indescribable!

Chen Shuyi seemed to have been splashed with cold water from head to toe, her whole body was freezing, she hurriedly bowed to Shen Zhiyi and said, "His Royal Highness Princess Long Chen, it was the court lady and the second girl Jiang who disagreed and quarreled, Miss Jiang Er is articulate, but the servant girl couldn't talk about her, she lost her head for a while, it was the servant girl's fault, I hope Her Royal Highness Princess Chang will be generous and forgive the servant girl for this rudeness."

His voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously afraid.

Without the anger just now, she calmed down easily. She knew how serious the incident was now, and she knew that Shen Zhiyi wanted to be partial to Jiang Xuening. At this moment, she could not argue, it was better to clarify. At the same time, I bowed my head to admit my mistake, endured this time, and looked for an opportunity in the future to take care of it slowly.

Jiang Xuening sneered in her heart, secretly thinking that she was very quick to follow the flames, and the arrogance that no one saw in her eyes before came to the face of someone more honorable than her, how much is left

Originally, everything was fine, Chen Shuyi first flirted first!

Anyway, Liang Zi has made a fortune, and she doesn't want the other party to simply perfunctory it.

So, with a miserable appearance, Jiang Xuening raised her hazy tearful eyes and looked at Chen Shuyi, her body trembled slightly, as if she couldn't believe that she said such a black-and-white thing: "Sister Chen's I mean, I actually bullied you, didn't I? I, I... "

Halfway through, I couldn't speak anymore.

She bit her lip and opened her eyes wide, as if she had met Chen Shuyi for the first time, and she also showed some realistic resentment and sadness.

The entire Fengchen Hall was so quiet that no sound could be heard.

Zhou Baoying was stunned, the paper bag containing the candied fruit slipped from her hand and fell to the ground;

You Yue felt a chill on the back of her head. She was thankful that she had not followed Chen Shuyi to ridicule Jiang Xuening, or else now...

Fang Miao also looked sluggish, thinking that this second girl Jiang was powerful, but she did not expect to be so "powerful";

Even Xiao Shu looked at Jiang Xuening with a shocked look, as if she had never really known her, and when she recalled the situation when she couldn't help but press You Yue into the fish tank that day, it felt like a dream.

That cold and cold posture...

Is it the same person as this weak, pitiful and charming person

However, Shen Zhiyi stepped up to Jiang Xuening's side, hesitated for a while, and then gently stretched out her hand and put it on Jiang Xuening's shoulder.

Jiang Xuening felt it, so he had to turn around and continue to sell miserably.

However, the moment she turned her eyes, she met a pair of unusual eyes: Shen Zhiyi's eyes looking at her were no longer the sweetness that was always full of longing, but there was some sadness and remorse inside, Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking.

At the end, he gave her a reassuring smile.

At this moment, Jiang Xuening thought of the look in Yan Lin's eyes when she looked at her yesterday, and there was forbearance hidden in the torment, so her heart twitched fiercely—

Shen Zhiyi came back from the Cining Palace, and the Cining Palace is investigating the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Is the case of Yu Ruyi going to involve the Marquis of Yongyi

If it weren't for this, Shen Zhiyi wouldn't look at her like that.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the little bit of emotional struggle with Chen Shuyi suddenly became unimportant.

But Shen Zhiyi wasn't ready to just give up.

After all, she remembered that Jiang Xuening didn't plan to enter the palace at first, it was Yan Lin who came to look for her, and she also wanted her to enter the palace, so she went back and forth and forced her to stay.

Think what is so difficult for her in this palace

On the one hand, Yan Lin is protecting him, and on the other hand, she has her backing. Even if there are some filthy things, they will not hurt her head.

But today, the faint smell of blood and blood in the Cining Palace let her know that she was wrong, and it also made her suddenly understand why Yanlin wanted to clear his relationship with Ningning in public yesterday.

If it was her, it would be the same.

But when I didn't know, I was upset or even angry for Ning Ning, but after I knew it, I complained about myself and felt sorry for Ning Ning.

Maybe in the future, if there is no Yan Lin to protect her, then there will be only himself.

No matter how naive and pampered, Shen Zhiyi was also a child who grew up in the palace.

She couldn't see that Ning Ning's expression was a bit joking and contrived. She must have been acting like Chen Shuyi on purpose, but she just saw Chen Shuyi's presumptuousness but not falsification, not to mention that she knew that she was definitely not someone who would take the initiative to frame others. the person—

Jiang Xuening, who was able to put a pen on the old scar at the corner of her eye, covered her with pink petals, and said those words, was by no means a bad person.

Shen Zhiyi raised her eyelashes slightly and stared at Chen Shuyi. She didn't look angry, but calmness was more chilling than anger. My courtier, I was selected to be my companion in the palace, and you and I have an old friendship. I don’t want to humiliate Chen Da Shi’s face, let you enter the palace and then be expelled. It’s just you, and You must know that Jiang Xuening, the second girl of the Jiang family, was ordered by Ben Gong to come to the palace. In the future, being rude to her will be equivalent to being rude to Ben Gong. You didn’t know it before, but Ben Gong I said it today, whoever wants to do it again, don’t blame this palace for not caring about his feelings.”

Everyone did not expect that Shen Zhiyi would say such heavy words!

All were silent for a while.

Jiang Xuening seemed to have confirmed something from Shen Zhiyi's words, and became a little dazed.

Chen Shuyi also didn't understand why Shen Zhiyi's attitude was suddenly so serious. Although the words were extremely ugly, she slapped her face with one slap, but she really didn't dare to refute anything, and she was afraid of hurting herself. He could only bury his head and answer tremblingly, "Yes."

Shen Zhiyi said again: "Since you already know that you are rude, and you are so easily dizzy, you copied the Book of Rites and Prajna Heart Sutra ten times each, one to improve your memory, and the other to calm your mind. , don't go to a place like Fengchen Hall to study and always think about other messy things."

Chen Shuyi felt resentment in her heart, and her face turned blue.

She took a deep breath and bowed again: "Her Royal Highness Princess Xie is magnanimous, Shuyi will be cautious in her words and deeds from now on, and will not dare to do it again."

Shen Zhiyi then turned her eyes and ignored her. Instead, she went to Jiang Xuening's desk, half squatted, her palms overlapped on the desk, and her pointed lower jaw rested on her palm, only revealing A good-looking head wearing a beaded green step shook and blinked at her: "Ningning is not angry now, right?"

Jiang Xuening originally pretended to be more.

You have suffered more anger in your previous life, how can you not bear this

Just seeing how Shen Zhiyi was treating her with such care, she felt happy and sad at the same time, she forced an ugly smile, stepped forward and pulled her up: "Your Highness Princess Tang, what does this look like?"

Shen Zhiyi didn't dare to tell her what was going on in the Cining Palace, she just wanted to coax her to be happy: "Isn't this teasing you? I'm afraid you won't be happy."

Jiang Xuening could vaguely guess her purpose, and she smiled through tears.

She mumbled: "Being so concerned and favored by His Royal Highness, even if all the suffering has melted away, how can you be unhappy?"

Only then did Shen Zhiyi follow her and laugh.

The scene in the hall was momentarily warm and harmonious.

But this and the music belonged to them, and the others couldn't get in at all while watching.

Chen Shuyi's expression changed.

Xiao Shu's eyes swept across all the faces in the hall, and she only thought inexplicably: Chen Shuyi is usually a cautious person who speaks less and makes fewer mistakes. But once in such a restrained place in the palace and encountering conflicts, it is inevitable that they will lose their normality and break out. After this second girl Jiang entered the palace, she seemed to be domineering and confused, but there was no real fainting. He didn't show any discomfort or fear about the life in the palace. What he was like when he entered the palace, and it still seems to be the same now, makes people dare not underestimate it.

Thankfully this scene didn't last long.

Chen Zheng's second quarter, Zhang Zhong, the chief editor of the National History Museum, who taught the "Book of Rites", walked in from the outside with a cold face and several thin books under his arms.

Everyone, including Shen Zhiyi, returned to their positions.

"The students have met Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Chongguo's face has thick eyebrows, but one pair of eyes is thin, and when he frowns, it will naturally give people a sense of being mean and difficult to get along with.

At this moment, he glanced at everyone, and his face was not good.

He raised his hand and handed the books he brought to the little eunuch next to him, saying, "I came here to teach rites, not an important study purpose. I have read history for many years, but I only know that there are no rules in this world. If there is no square circle, the collapse of ritual and music in the Zhou Dynasty will lead to the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period. At the beginning, some gentlemen such as me said that they were teaching princesses and young ladies of high-ranking officials and noble families. All of you reading companions are knowledgeable and reasonable. Those who should learn have already learned it earlier, so you don’t need to do anything unnecessary. You might as well teach the righteousness of the family and the country. Therefore, the book was changed to the Book of Rites. However, based on what the old man heard in the Hanlin Academy recently, this Although Fengchen Hall is a place to study, there are some people who don't know the superiority and inferiority, and even the gentle and virtuous women can't be shown in front of others. Dear students, please tell me about the "Nv's Commandments", and after the "Nv's Commandments" are finished, I will tell you about the "Book of Rites" in detail."

The little eunuch presented the books to the crowd one by one.

Jiang Xuening looked down, and there were two striking characters written on the cover—

Female commandment.

For a while, I couldn't say why, but I was so frustrated that I didn't feel so disgusting even after a fight with Chen Shuyi just now.

Even Xiao Shu, who was on the side, saw this book, and couldn't help but change slightly.

The others stared at each other.

Only Chen Shuyi finally showed an expression of stretched brows, and even nodded slowly, seemingly agreeing with Zhang Zhong's remarks.

Zhang Zhong is a person with very strict rules. Once he has made a decision, he doesn't care about the expressions of the people below, including the eldest princess. After all, the eldest princess will marry in the future, so it's always right to hear it.

He turned the page on his own, and told everyone to read the first chapter "Weakness" first.

He only said: "In ancient times, after a baby girl was born for a few months, she could not sleep on the bed, but made it lie under the bed, play with a spindle, give bricks and tiles, and fasten to her ancestors. This is to show her humble origin, The low status. The spindle bricks and tiles are intended to make them understand that they should work hard, engage in farming and weaving, and help their husbands prepare food and wine for sacrifices. Therefore, as women, you should be diligent and respectful, endure humiliation, and always be afraid…”

The whole hall was quiet.

Shen Zhiyi's complexion was also somewhat uncertain.

Jiang Xuening was sitting in the back corner, and when she heard these words, she couldn't help but remember the memorials of the previous dynasty when she fought fiercely with the Xiao family, and those snowflakes seemed to come to persuade the emperor to abolish the queen. She had secretly read it out in Shen Jie's illness, and every word on the top, every word and every word, were all about women's virtues and women's calamities, which coincided with the meaning of Zhang Zhong's words at the moment.

The baby girl was born not even fit for a bed!

Where does the bullshit come from!

Zhang Zhong also spoke with a straight face.

Jiang Xuening suddenly stood up and pushed the bookcase in front of him directly!

"Squeak, clang!"

The four feet of the book table rubbed heavily from the smooth ground of the main hall, making a harsh sound. The books and ink on the book table all collapsed and rolled down, making a chaotic sound, making everyone look back at her in shock.

Zhang Zhong frowned immediately and looked at her: "What's going on?"

Jiang Xuening said, "Sir, I'm disgusting."

Zhang Zhong also knew that this was a thorn in the head, and his face changed when he heard this: "Who are you scolding!"

Jiang Xuening looked blank: "It's really strange, I said I was disgusting, how can you say I'm scolding people? Maybe I didn't pay attention to eating and broke my stomach yesterday, or maybe I smelled something unclean and stinky today. If something vomits out of this hall again, I'm afraid it will disturb Mr.'s lecture. So today, please forgive Xuening for being rude and leave first."

She spoke politely, but the smile on her lips was mocking no matter how she looked at it. She didn't look polite at all. When she turned around and walked out of the hall, she didn't even pay a courtesy.

Everyone was stunned.

I've seen people who truant from school escape so righteously and recklessly, but I've really seen this one!

Zhang Zhong did not expect that Jiang Xuening not only refused to accept the discipline, but even opened his mouth and lied and walked away from his class in front of him. His dark face suddenly turned into a pig's liver, and he raised his hand and pointed at her back. Trembling, he just said sharply: "Okay, okay, what a girl who doesn't obey discipline! If such a stubborn and willful person deserves to stay in the Fengchen Palace, I, Zhang Zhong, don't even need to teach this lesson, and then I will call you. People come and see, whether you are powerful or I am powerful!"

Jiang Xuening's footsteps are long gone.

Hearing him clamoring behind his back, he didn't even bother to turn his head.

She had never attended this old man's class in her previous life, but I didn't know he was so angry, but she was expected to be someone who couldn't make a fuss: after all, she never took a class from the very beginning in her last life, nor did she see this old man. Son has the ability to treat her ah.

Thinking about it, she sneered.

It's just that when it's not over yet, I want to take a walk in this palace. I'm afraid that the palace is secretly surging because of the Yu Ruyi case;

Jiang Xuening pondered, and simply turned around and went to the side hall.

Xie Wei asked her to learn the piano in the afternoon after school yesterday. Anyway, now that she is free, it is better to see if Xie Wei is there. If he is, he will learn today's share early, and he will also save the afternoon to be sparred.

The side hall of Fengchen Hall is next to the main hall, just turn the corner.

When she saw it, there was no one outside.

The little eunuch who came to guard outside last time was not there, and the two doors were also pulled and closed tightly, and there was no sound coming from inside. Thinking that Xie Wei was not there at this time, the little eunuch seemed to be serving him, so naturally he wasn't there either.

Jiang Xuening pouted, sighed and prepared to leave.

Just when he was about to lift his footsteps and step down the steps, a "meow" suddenly came from the side of the flowerpot under the corridor.

She stopped suddenly.

The cry sounded familiar.

Jiang Xuening followed the sound to the corner of the flower pot and saw that there was a small white cat the size of a slap in the narrow gap, and its two soft fleshy claws were pressing on a piece of fish meat that came from nowhere, and stretched out. The pink tender tongue licked it, and then swallowed it into his mouth.

"It's you!"

She immediately recognized that it was the cat who was squatting on the edge of Xie Wei's window and was carried away by the little eunuch, and was pleasantly surprised.

I haven't held a cat for a long time, and my hands are a little itchy.

Jiang Xuening squatted down and looked at it for a while, and the more she looked at it, the more cute it became. Finally, she couldn't hold back, she gently stretched out her hand, hugged the little dumpling, put it on her lap, and sat down on the steps of the side hall. .

The kitten was not afraid of life.

The fish had already been eaten, it licked the soft white hair on its paws slightly, Jiang Xuening's slender fingers gently supported its small head, so it narrowed its eyes very usefully, a look of carelessness. Lazy posture nestled in her sleeves.

Jiang Xuening only felt that all the troubles were gone.

There was no one in the side hall, and the sky was shining down on the steps. The girl in a snow-green dress sat lazily on the steps, stroking a little white cat who was also lazy.

The voice of Zhang Zhong lecturing could be heard faintly from the main hall.

Jiang Xuening didn't even hear it.

After just sitting on the steps and licking the cat for a while, she suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps from the other side of the palace wall, and the lowered voice of a eunuch: "The slave will come back later to invite the young master..."

Thank you!

Jiang Xuening was stunned, the footsteps had reached the gate of the palace.

Subconsciously, she quickly put the kitten on her lap and hid it in her wide sleeves with both hands.

Xie Wei really appeared there.

He obviously did not expect that there would be someone in front of the side hall. When he looked up and saw Jiang Xuening, the frost-like coldness on his face had not yet been put away, and Shang Xian's eyes fell on her.

Jiang Xuening was startled, the hairs on his back almost stood up.

It's just that he restrained himself in the next moment, letting this terrifying moment disappear quickly, like a momentary illusion, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It was the flawless Xie Wei who reappeared in front of Jiang Xuening.

He glanced at Jiang Xuening, who was still sitting on the steps, and then looked in the direction of the main hall. His two long eyebrows could not help frowning, he stepped forward and stopped, and asked, "I asked you to come this afternoon, Mr. Zhang is still lecturing at this hour, so what's the point of sitting here if you don't listen to the class?"

Jiang Xuening held the cat in his sleeve and did not dare to move.

Just seeing Xie Wei, if he didn't stand up and salute would inevitably make him suspicious, so he acted very carefully, stood up slowly, still covered his hands with his wide sleeves, and bowed: "I have seen Mr. Xie, I don’t want to listen to Mr. Zhang’s class, and I thought that if I could come here to take Mr. Xie’s class first, and if Mr. Xie happened to be here, I would just learn the piano in the afternoon, and I would save myself another trip.”

She scolded herself for being obsessed, the best choice just now was to throw the cat out, and she should have nothing to do with herself.

But it's too late to regret now.

So while talking, I still pray in my heart: Kitten and kitten are obedient, the big devil is right in front of you, but don't call at this time, or he will immediately change his face and cook and eat you!

When Xie Wei heard her remarks, not only did his brows not loosen, but he wrinkled even more deeply, and only said, "Mr. Zhang hasn't finished school yet, you must leave school early or truant when you appear here; instead of attending Mr. Zhang's class, you come to my Lecture, if you let Mr. Zhang listen to it, what should you guess? I met Yan Lin yesterday and told him that you are sensible and obedient, don't worry, I didn't expect you to be stubborn and unrepentant!"

Jiang Xuening choked.

Although Xie Wei and Xie Wei were also very unhappy in the last life, she hated and feared this person, but she subconsciously thought that he was different from other gentlemen, and she was not the same as other gentlemen to these female students. Despised, but now he is stern and indiscriminate, scolds him, and also carries Yan Lin out.

This is her soft sore spot.

Not to mention that today, I sensed some ominous clues from Shen Zhiyi's unusual attitude!

She looked straight at him at once.

The eyes were red, but it was not tears, but a kind of injustice and anger that had never been seen before. During the ups and downs of his chest, he felt a surge of energy, which could not be suppressed no matter what.

So much so that at the moment when Xie Wei walked by with a cold face, she became wicked and courageous!

The cat that was originally hidden in her sleeve was directly carried out by her, with a condensed face, and handed it to Xie Wei!

"Meow!"

The kitten was languid and drowsy in her sleeve, but when she lifted it up, the hair on her spine stood up in fright, and she screamed in panic at the right time!

Xie Wei only got the secret report from the Cining Palace. When he came back and saw Jiang Xuening truancy from school, he naturally couldn't put on a good face.

How did he expect Jiang Xuening to hide the universe in his sleeves!

When the group of kittens approached him, his pupils shrank violently, the bottom of his eyes was as dark as a tide, his complexion was ashen, and a bunch of goose bumps appeared on the back of his hands, he immediately took a step back, raised his sleeves and placed Jiang Xuening's face. Hand away!

Jiang Xuening was afraid of hurting the kitten, which was easy to hold. After being brushed away, the kitten was frightened, and broke free from her hands, jumped to the ground, and slid down the palace wall as if she saw the king of hell. run away.

Only Jiang Xuening and Xie Wei were left standing face to face.

Jiang Xuening had no expression on his face, and Xie Wei had no expression on his face.
