"Miss Shen, I am Wu Shangshu's eldest daughter, Wu Xue, it's a pleasure to meet Miss Shen today!"
"Miss Wu, hello."
"Miss Shen, it will be my birthday in a few days, I wonder if Miss Shen would like to play at my house?"
"Nature is willing."
"That's good, how about I post a post for you then?"
"OK."
"Miss Shen, why don't you come to my house some other day? Seeing Miss Shen today, I started to make friends. Miss Shen is willing?"
"I'll go there when I'm free."
"Well then, let's all go out and have fun together. It hasn't been this lively for a long time!"
"OK!"
…
Although some people want to make friends because of Shen Jingshu's rising status, some people are really happy to make friends with Shen Jingshu, such as Zhao Yue and Tian Xin, these two people have been friends since Shen Jingshu came to Beijing. Friends, although the two have different personalities, they gave Shen Jingshu a very friendly feeling. When Shen Jingshu was surrounded by everyone and finally had some free time, Tian Xin watched it, and it was a bit funny, "Now you are going up with the tide. , These people are not easy to make friends with in normal times, but in this short period of time, many people have invited you to your house as a guest, it seems that we have no chance."
"Tian Xin, what are you talking about? With our friendship, if you ask me out, will it be possible for me to go or not?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Now you are the future Princess Duan, and your status is not as good as before. Maybe!"
"You, is it interesting to play tricks on me? Who am I, if you want to come to know, am I the kind of person who will change because of my identity?"
"That's not true. It's just that you're so busy now that you don't have much time." Sighing, since Tian Xin and Shen Jingshu got in touch, she felt that Shen Jingshu was a good friend. These days, the two also exchanged letters. Friendship is also good. It's just that now that Shen Jingshu's wedding date has been set, it has to be a matter of getting married, and it can't always come out.
"Don't worry, I will definitely go if you invite me."
"That's right, Tian Xin, don't make it difficult for Jing Shu. Jing Shu has a different status now, and she has a lot of involuntary things, and she hasn't been in the capital for a long time, so it's good to make more friends. "This woman's friend before getting married will also have someone to help her in the future, which Zhao Yue can understand. After all, Shen Jingshu didn't grow up in Kyoto. She didn't know many people in Kyoto. It's great to know more people now. After all, Shen Jingshu will be Prince Duan's concubine in the future, and she will be Princess Duan in the future. Naturally, this relationship should not be too narrow.
"Okay, I get it, I'm just talking, do you need it?" Smiled, Tian Xin was just joking just now, she knew that Shen Jingshu was not someone with that kind of influence, and she wouldn't just because now is the future The imperial concubine looks down on anyone.
"You!" With a smile, Shen Jingshu knew Tian Xin's temperament, she was lively and cheerful on weekdays, and she was not the kind of person with deep thoughts. She liked Tian Xin quite a lot.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. It's about the marriage. I just heard about it a few days ago. I haven't had a chance to ask it. Do you know what's going on?" Shen Jingshu lives reclusively these days, Tian Xin It's not easy for them to come to ask. When they wrote to ask, they just gave a general idea. The people in the whole capital were very surprised by the marriage, let alone Tian Xin and Zhao Yue.
"I don't know either. The emperor gave the marriage suddenly, and the family members were very surprised at that time." She and Prince Duan had hit it off before, and Shen Jingshu would not tell others about this. A woman's reputation is the most important thing in the sky. Although she has a good relationship with Tian Xin and Zhao Yue, it is not a friendship from childhood to adulthood, and they have not reached the level of talking about everything.
"Let me just say, everyone is very surprised by the emperor's gift of marriage, I thought you knew something!" Smiling, Tian Xin is not gossip, just curious. After all, this Prince Duan is already a legendary figure in this capital, and he has already reached the age of marriage, but he has never been married in these years. Some people privately said that Prince Duan was a broken sleeve, but everyone dared not say so.
"Hehe, who can know the emperor's holy will?" Others don't know about this matter, but Shen Jingshu knows it very clearly. Prince Duan also told her that day, and wanted to settle the names of the two of them as soon as possible, so as to avoid further complications. Of course, Shen Jingshu was a little helpless, and in the end she could only let the other party go.
"That's right, but the emperor's gift of marriage really surprised many people. You don't know what everyone said secretly, saying..." Zhao Yue wanted to say something, but Zhao Yue pulled Tian Xin and gave Tian Xin gave Tian Xin a warning look, and Tian Xin also knew that he had something to say in front of Shen Jingshu, so he didn't say anything, "Hehe, but no matter what they say, they are also jealous of you. Just don't worry about it, But I heard that Prince Duan's son is extremely handsome, and he was named General Xiaoqi by the emperor at a young age. Even if he doesn't rely on Prince Duan's mansion in the future, he himself is capable and won't let you suffer. "
"Well, I know, what other people say is their business, and I don't care." If she cares so much about other people's eyes, then she is not living for herself, but for others.
"It's best if you think like this. I was worried before, but seeing you now, I feel at ease." Smiling, Tian Xin remembered the rumors about Duan Wang's son. Although he was a little worried, looking at Shen Jingshu Tian Xin didn't say anything about the appearance, anyway, now that things are settled, she doesn't want to make Shen Jingshu feel more troubled.
"Jingshu, I heard that the son has been to the Shen residence several times, but he treats you well?" Although Zhao Yue didn't say much, there was concern in his words, and Shen Jingshu was very moved, "The son treats us well?" Very courteous, never put on airs, very polite."
"That's good, that's good. I heard that the son has a cold temper, but he can be like this, which shows that he cares about you." Smiling, there are too many rumors about Duan Wang's son. Why don't you like women? Man, why is he so bad-tempered that he doesn't even want to get close to a woman? When a woman seduced the crown prince, she heard that the woman had her arms and legs broken and thrown out by the crown prince. When she heard that, she was frightened. caught.
Although these rumors may not be true, there must be a reason for the rumors to come out. Zhao Yue and Tian Xin have also heard of it, but it's hard to tell Shen Jingshu now, lest Shen Jingshu worry.
"Being cold-tempered also has its advantages. I heard that there are no women close to Shizi, which is great. You don't have to worry about these things in the future." Tian Xin also saw many wives and concubines fighting since childhood. Well, although her father is not romantic, he will not refuse to take a concubine. She occasionally sees those dirty things in the family. So sometimes she really envied Shen Jingshu and the peace of the Shen family, and secretly hoped that she could be like Shen Jingshu.
"You, what are you talking about? Be careful to let others listen to you and make fun of you!" Zhao Yue didn't expect Tian Xin to say this. After all, they are women who have not left the cabinet. Sometimes this face is a bit unjustifiable.
"I'll just tell Jingshu, it's nothing. Could it be that you don't think so? Who wouldn't this woman want to have a man who is devoted to her?"
"Okay, don't say any more, it's not good for people to hear." Zhao Yue actually thought the same way in her heart, but she was thin-skinned and embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it. You are virtuous, okay?"
"You, are you laughing at me?" Seeing Tian Xin like this, Zhao Yue felt a little helpless. She just thought in her heart, how dare she say it
"How dare I?" She smiled mischievously, and the girls got into a fight.
"Jingshu, look at her, why is she like this?"
"Okay, Tian Xin, Zhao Yue has a thin skin, so don't talk about it, and she should be embarrassed."
"Okay, I won't talk about it. Really, how much is this face worth? The most important thing for this woman is to live a happy life. If you pretend to be virtuous and generous for the sake of face, you will make yourself suffer , that's all right?" His eyes suddenly felt a little sad, Tian Xin's mother was like this, she was born in a scholarly family, and she cared most about these face-saving issues, and she wanted to be a virtuous wife. But this virtuous, watching her husband come to the door one after another, but not stopping her, and still has to take good care of the house, isn't this just her own fault
"Tian Xin..." Feeling the change in Tian Xin's eyes, Zhao Yue was a little worried at the moment.
She knows more or less about the affairs of the Tian family. Mrs. Tian is a virtuous person, and there are many concubines in the family. There are also concubine sons and daughters. Sometimes, it is inevitable that there will be some fights for favor. No wonder Tian Xin has such a thing. thought up.
"Hehe, I'm fine. I just have some feelings. I think women are sometimes too pitiful." Yes, women must be virtuous, otherwise they are jealous. But behind this virtuousness, how many tears and bitterness are there
"What you said is also very right." Zhao Yue didn't know if he thought of something, his eyes flashed a little sadly, Shen Jingshu saw it, and he understood what was going on in his heart, "Oh, don't be unhappy, in the future Things, who can say for sure? If you really don’t want to, just say no, in fact, these reputations of virtuousness are good-looking, but they are actually nothing. Do you think so? The key is to be happy.”
"Jingshu, you are still welcome, but what you said is also right, it's just that too many people can't break free from this bondage." Not many women are so generous, but they don't have any thoughts in their hearts to let their husbands take concubines. It's just that this era is destined to be like this, they can't resist, otherwise they will be jealous, they will be unvirtuous, and they will be despised by others.
"Let's not talk about these happy things, let's go, let's go to enjoy the flowers. Seeing that everyone is going to enjoy the flowers, we are not easy to take orders." Knowing that some women are helpless, they want to resist, but they can't. In fact, Shen Jingshu really felt that she was very happy. Her father had a deep affection for her mother and never left her. The years of staying together gave her hope.
Although she didn't know about Yu Wenjin, she believed that the other party thought the same as herself. That man gave her his whole heart, and she should also give him some trust.
"Let's go, it doesn't make sense for the three of us to be here, let's go and enjoy the flowers!" He went with a smile, and Tian Xin quickly recovered. Although she had some thoughts in her heart, she didn't know if she had the courage, and she didn't know if she was so lucky.
"The words of this palace are indeed extremely beautiful. I have never seen many of them. They all say that the palace of Prince Duan is rich and honored. It seems that this is not a lie."
"That's right, I've never seen these flowers when I went to the palace before. This king is also very capable!"
"Okay, don't talk about these things, let's just enjoy the flowers quietly." In fact, Shen Jingshu also discovered that the flowers in this palace are not found in many capitals. Now hearing what Tian Xin said, Shen Jingshu I'm a little surprised.
It seems that this King Duan is not what he appears on the surface, he is extremely ambitious!
It's just that I don't know if Yu Wenjin knows about this matter, and the emperor...
Frowning, Shen Jingshu saw that the two women were timid, and finally walked over boldly, "Miss Shen, hello!" The two women, Shen Jingshu, had actually been paying attention for a long time, and the two women occasionally She secretly looked at her, but she didn't come to say hello. Shen Jingshu looked at their attire, which was not bad, but she had never seen her before, and she had some guesses in her heart.
"Hi there."
"Hehe, Ms. Shen, I'm Yuwen Qian'er, and this is my sister Yuwen Qing'er. Just now, I saw that there are many people around Ms. Shen, so it's not easy for us to come here. I hope Ms. Shen will not see outsiders." Listening to these two The name of the person, and the series of actions just now, Shen Jingshu smiled at this moment, and the guess in her heart was confirmed, "It turns out to be Miss Yuwen." It seems that these two are the two concubines of King Duan. . Before she came here, she had also done some understanding of Prince Duan's Mansion. She knew that one of these two ladies was born to Concubine Hua, and the other was born to an aunt of King Duan. too much.
"It's us. I've heard about Ms. Shen before, and I've always wanted to see her. We are very happy to see you today!" Yuwen Qian'er is generous, she seems to be well-bred, and she seems to treat herself a little better. bona fide. On the contrary, that Yuwen Qing'er is a bit submissive, always following Yuwen Qian'er, with her head down, she looks a little cowardly, she just doesn't know what she's thinking.
"I'm also very happy. I've always heard that the son has two fairy-like younger sisters. Now that I see them, they really deserve their reputation." Duan Wang is handsome, and his heirs are not bad. It is very beautiful, even though Yuwen Qing'er lowered her head, she has a soft and beautiful temperament.
"Hehe, Ms. Shen can talk. We will be a family from now on. I have to call Ms. Shen a sister-in-law in the future. I will have to come and bother you often. Ms. Shen just don't mind." Most of the time it was Yu Wenqian Yu Wenqing'er was talking, but Yu Wenqing'er lowered her head, looking embarrassed, but it was true, who knows
"Of course I won't mind."
"Then Miss Shen is willing to enjoy the flowers with me right now?" Yuwen Qian'er seemed to actively want to make friends with Shen Jingshu. Although Shen Jingshu was a little puzzled, she also smiled, "Of course I am willing, people It's more lively, isn't it?"
"Sister, someone called me over there, so I'll go there first." Yuwen Qian'er was willing to make friends with Shen Jingshu, but Yuwen Qing'er found an excuse to leave now, Shen Jingshu saw her, After glancing at Yuwen Qinger, Yuwen Qinger quickly turned her eyes away, making her emotions invisible.
"Okay, go as long as you want, and don't regret it in the future." Yuwen Qian'er frowned, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Yuwen Qing'er's reaction, and Yuwen Qing'er's eyes turned red immediately, "Sister , I..." She also felt a little wronged in her heart, she is not Yuwen Qian'er, she has a capable mother, so she is not afraid of anything. She is just an aunt's daughter, and she is dispensable in this palace. How could she dare to approach Shen Jingshu so blatantly, and arouse the suspicion of the princess
"Miss Yuwen, since the second lady has something to do, let her go, she is so anxious." With a smile, Shen Jingshu quickly figured out what the two of them were thinking, this Yuwen Qian'er wanted to win her over She, I'm afraid it is also the meaning of the side concubine Hua, but this Yuwen Qing'er...
People are soft-spoken, and it seems that their temper is weak, so they dare not
"Miss Shen, thank you..." Unexpectedly, Shen Jingshu would speak for herself, Yuwen Qing'er quickly glanced at Shen Jingshu, and quickly retracted her gaze, "Sister..."
"Okay, you just go, can I still stop you?" Frowning, Yuwen Qianer dislikes Yuwen Qinger's submissive temperament the most. It's just that she doesn't think about it, her mother is the side concubine of Duan Wang, and she is favored, so where is Yuwen Qing'er's mother, she is just an unfavored aunt
"Okay, then I'll come as soon as I go." She left soon. Although Yuwen Qing'er said she would come as soon as she went, she never came back. I just dare not offend Yuwen Qian'er.
Yuwen Qian'er looked at Yuwen Qing'er's unpromising appearance, and she didn't like it either. She just wanted to give him a hand and win Shen Jingshu with her. In the future, when Shen Jingshu came in, they would have an extra hand, so they wouldn't be afraid of that. Concubine Duan was the only one, but she never thought that Yuwen Qing'er was a worthless person. As soon as Yuwen Qian'er watched her go, there was a disdainful expression on her face. Looking at Shen Jingshu, she felt a little apologetic, "Miss Shen , my younger sister is usually timid, she is always afraid in such occasions, don't mind."
"Miss Yuwen, don't worry, I don't mind."
"If you don't mind, let's go for a walk together!"
"Okay!" The other party took the initiative to come over to win her over, and Shen Jingshu would not refuse. She doesn't know much about the affairs of Duan Wangfu now, and if someone is willing to draw her to be an ally, more help is also good.
Everyone gets what they want anyway, doesn't it
