"Mother, don't laugh at your daughter." Speaking of her own sewing, sometimes Shen Jingshu really felt a little embarrassed.
Since her rebirth, she has worked hard every day to calculate the happiness and safety of her family. In fact, she didn't spend much time on being a female celebrity. Maybe she subconsciously felt that it was useless for her to learn these things? So she would rather spend more time on the things she is interested in. Anyway, she knows that she doesn't have many opportunities to use her needlework, and the few maids around her are very good at needlework. That's it.
"I'm not laughing at you, but don't you look at how much effort you have spent on sewing over the years? You don't listen to what you say. It's all right now. You're going to get married soon. Your wedding dress is made by others. You are kind too." Although there are many people serving them around them, and there are many who know how to sew, sometimes they do it themselves, which means something different.
When Shen Jingshu was young, Shan Banyan also urged Shen Jingshu to learn needlework, but for some reason, Shen Jingshu's needlework was not very good, and later Shen Jingshu also neglected, Shan Banyan couldn't bear her daughter working too hard, and also Not forced. It's just that Shan Banyan is really worried about her daughter's needlework now that she is going to marry to Duanwang's mansion, and she regrets her indulgence to Shen Jingshu.
"Mother, my needlework is actually passable, but I will only wear this wedding dress once in my life, so I won't join in the fun. Then I'll just embroider flowers or something on it, it doesn't matter." Shen Jingshu said I just thought about it, her horizontally embroidered wedding dress is really unsightly. So she simply waited for others to finish it, and she would add a few touches when the time came. Anyway, the wedding dress was good-looking and comfortable. As for whether she made it herself, it didn't matter too much.
Who cares
"You child!" Shaking her head, her daughter has been sensible since she was a child, and she has basically never bothered her. This female celebrity can only be regarded as reluctantly, and Shan Banyan doesn't care.
"Okay, mother, don't talk about my needlework, don't they all have Chunmei and the others? Don't worry!"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, I will enter the palace in three days, the queen's Qianqiu, what are you going to do?"
"The Queen doesn't lack anything. Although the things we give can't be too much, they can't be too bad."
"You're right, it's not easy for the empress, after all..." Shan Banyan didn't say anything else, this empress is the biological mother of the third prince, who was punished because of the incident in the south of the Yangtze River , I heard that they are not trusted by the emperor until now, and naturally the queen will not treat them very well, maybe asking Shen Jingshu to go over at this time may make things difficult.
"Mother, don't worry, I will be cautious when I enter the palace, and I will never let others find opportunities." Since coming to the capital, Shen Jingshu has met the queen several times, and the other party has always been indifferent to her, but After several encounters in the palace, Shen Jingshu had to doubt the queen's intentions.
In the previous life, the second uncle's family had defected to the party of the third prince. Dad didn't like the fights between princes, so he never joined any party. What happened in the end was inseparable from the third prince!
In this life, they and the third prince have been in a hostile position since seven years ago. When they came back this time, although the other party hadn't moved yet, Shen Jingshu knew that those people would not let her go! She has to be careful!
"Remember to be careful in everything, there are many rules in the palace, when you go, don't wander around, you know?" Every time she enters the palace, Shan Banyan has to worry about it, for fear that something will happen to Shen Jingshu. Sometimes she also blamed herself a little, for not being able to be by Shen Jingshu's side every time, as a mother, she blamed herself very much.
"Mother, just rest at home, I will be careful!" Knowing Shan Banyan's worry, why did Shen Jingshu want to enter the palace? Every time she enters the palace, there will be no good things. If she can, she really doesn't want to enter the palace, but what can she do
"You can't be sloppy about the queen's future. You have to think about this gift carefully, so that no one can correct you. You have to prepare carefully for your clothes and jewelry."
"Understood, mother!"
…
In fact, speaking of Shen Jingshu's status as a woman to be married, she will be married soon, so she doesn't have to participate in the Queen's Qianqiu. But when they asked her to go, she couldn't refuse. After discussing with her family, the time was relatively short, so Shen Jingshu decided to just give a pair of jade ruyis. The gift is neither novelty nor extraordinarily expensive. Excellent, the family thought it was suitable, so they all agreed.
After choosing the presents and finishing the clothes and jewelry, Shen Jingshu went to the palace three days later. Because it is the empress's Qianqiu, this time the empress did not invite the foreign ministers, but only the courtiers' family members. When Shen Jingshu first arrived at the gate of the palace, she met Princess Duan, "Miss Shen, what a coincidence." , Before such a big incident happened to the Shen family, Princess Duan also came over to inquire in person, and said that she would provide help, and sent a lot of things, which seemed to be helping them, but wasn't this slapping them in the face
Seeing Princess Duan's hypocritical smile at this moment, Shen Jingshu naturally returned a smile to the other party, "Princess." After saluting, Princess Duan saw Shen Jingshu and hurriedly pulled Shen Jingshu up, "Okay, We will be a family soon, and you are still so polite! Since we met, let's go together!" After speaking, he pulled Shen Jingshu intimately, and there was no chance for Shen Jingshu to refuse at all.
"Okay, Wangfei!" She smiled, although she really didn't want to be with Duan Wangfei, a duplicity person, but the other party was like this, and she couldn't refuse.
"Qian'er, why don't you come and meet Miss Shen?" Although Shen Jingshu saw that Princess Duan was smiling at the moment, she felt a flash of coldness in that smile.
"Miss Shen!" Yuwen Qian'er was wearing a red skirt today, she looked fresh and attractive, she was younger than Shen Jingshu, this time the queen invited all the female relatives, and asked everyone to bring their daughters. Yuwen Qian'er's mother is a high-ranking concubine Hua. Although she didn't come, Yuwen Qian'er has enough status to come.
"Miss Yuwen, hello!" After returning the gift, Shen Jingshu was also very polite to Yuwen Qian'er. Seeing Yuwen Qian'er respectfully walking beside Princess Duan, and Princess Duan's smiling face, Shen Jingshu felt that it was very special. of hypocrisy.
"You two are about the same age and have met before, so I won't say much. Anyway, there will be more chances to get to know each other in the future. Let's go!"
"Okay, concubine (mother concubine)." Shen Jingshu looked at Yuwen Qian'er's kind smile to her, and replied lightly, and Yuwen Qian'er walked beside Princess Duan on the left and right. It looks very harmonious.
"Qian'er's mother has been in poor health for the past few days, and I was the only one who brought her here. Concubine Hua's body has been like this all these years, and she has suffered for Qian'er." Princess Duan didn't know what she was trying to explain to Hua. The reason why the side concubine didn't come was because she wanted to reveal something to Shen Jingshu.
Is Concubine Hua not in good health? She seems to have heard before that this side concubine Hua has always lived in seclusion and rarely attends outside banquets. Is it really that she is not in good health, or is she hiding herself? From Yuwen Qian'er, Shen Jingshu is more willing to believe that it is the latter.
It seems that this concubine Hua is not simple!
"My mother has been coughing for the past few days, and it doesn't seem to get better after taking the medicine. I'm really worried." Yuwen Qian'er was also very worried when she heard about her mother's condition.
"Don't worry, it will get better soon." Holding Yuwen Qian'er, in front of outsiders, Princess Duan has always been a good concubine, and she has always displayed an elegant and generous image.
"Hopefully!"
…
A few people entered the palace, and someone took them to meet the queen. Today's queen wore a golden phoenix robe and a hairpin of a phoenix on her head. She looked graceful and luxurious, and Shen Jingshu even The shadow of the third prince can be vaguely seen, and he has always had some grudges against the queen.
"Princess Duan, are you here?" To Princess Duan, the queen's attitude was very enthusiastic, "This is Miss Yuwen, right? I haven't seen you for a few days, but now she is more beautiful and charming."
"The empress is absurd!"
"This palace is telling the truth. Is this Miss Shen?" Looking at Shen Jingshu, although the queen was smiling, Shen Jingshu sensed a coldness for no reason.
"Isn't it the daughter-in-law who has never been married?" Smiling and pulling Shen Jingshu, Duan Wangfei looked very satisfied with Shen Jingshu. When the queen saw it, she didn't know what flashed in her eyes, and finally smiled, "Sure enough She is beautiful in the sky, beautiful in appearance and wise in appearance, the princess is so lucky!"
"It's also a good fortune for the son!" Concubine Duan was not very polite about the queen's praise, which shows how "satisfied" she is with Shen Jingshu, the daughter-in-law.
"Indeed!" Nodding, the queen seemed quite satisfied with Shen Jingshu and Yuwen Qian'er, she asked some questions with a smile, both Shen Jingshu and Yuwen Qian'er answered them politely, the queen always had a smile on her face . It's just that Shen Jingshu felt a lot of envious and jealous eyes, and knew that the Queen's special treatment of her had already made some people jealous, especially her wife, who had never been married to the prince's son, was the focus of many people's attention. Naturally, many people are staring at it now!
Shen Jingshu never felt how enthusiastic the queen was towards her. When she saw the queen in the past, although she was smiling, she was never so patient with herself. Shen Jingshu had made preparations before, the queen would definitely not let the Shen family rely on the upper palace, but the queen hadn't moved for so long, so she forgot. She even admired the Queen's patience a little bit, and it didn't flare up until now.
I just don't know, what is the queen going to do? How would you stop this marriage
Knowing today's Hongmen Banquet, Shen Jingshu still came, this is a day specially chosen by the queen, how could she miss the appointment
Responding to the queen with a smile, Shen Jingshu was neither humble nor overbearing, which made the queen more surprised and cautious.
This Shen Jingshu is interesting, it seems that she is right to hold back these days, but no matter how smart the other party is, since she came today, she will not be able to escape.
…
The queen finally let Shen Jingshu go. After all, there are so many people here today, it is impossible for her to really let others go and just talk to Shen Jingshu. The desired effect, as it is now, is the best.
Shen Jingshu was also very happy to be free. She walked away now and wanted to relax, but she didn't expect that someone would not give her a chance, "Miss Shen, I didn't expect us to meet again? Miss Shen is waiting to be married. I'm waiting to get married at home, and I'm really happy to come to this palace!" Shen Jingshu, who came here, felt a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, and the other person's expression was also very familiar, with a haughty look. What Shen Jingshu didn't like.
"The Empress's Qianqiu is a happy event, can't I come to enjoy the joy? What's more, the Empress's imperial edict, I naturally want to come. Is it possible that Miss Cui still wants me to resist the edict?" At first, I couldn't remember the other party. Whose it was, Shen Jingshu remembered just looking at the other party with such an upturned look.
Isn't this person Cui Liu'er, the eldest daughter of the Pingyang Hou family? If Shen Jingshu remembers correctly, Cui Liuer and Zheng Yanxue are virtuous, they are both very arrogant and look down on others, and most importantly, these two are very good friends. Now that Zheng Yanxue's reputation has been ruined, she has been sent to her family temple to accompany the ancient Qingdeng Buddha, this Cui Liuer...
If she remembered correctly, Cui Liu'er and Zheng Yanxue had the same nose at the beginning. Now that Zheng Yanxue has received the punishment she deserved, it was her own fault. Could it be that Cui Liu'er also dislikes her with her attitude
But where did she offend this man
For people like Cui Liu'er, Shen Jingshu has always respected him at a respectful distance. If she respects him a foot, she will pay him back. But if the other party is rude, Shen Jingshu will naturally not suffer!
Anyway, she is also the future Princess Duan, and she cannot lose if she loses, how can this Cui Liu'er be so arrogant all the time!
"You!" Cui Liu'er didn't expect that Shen Jingshu became more and more eloquent when she didn't see her for a few days. Seeing Shen Jingshu's arrogance now, she was very angry, "Don't think that if the emperor bestows a marriage, you will be so happy that you can't find Bei Now, who do you think you are? Why are you worthy of being Prince Duan's son?"
"What does Miss Cui mean by this? Could it be that you have some thoughts about the emperor's imperial edict in your heart? If so, Miss Cui can clearly say that the emperor is a wise king, and the emperor will naturally listen to good suggestions!" Where is the room for others to say anything wrong? Even if the emperor's golden words are wrong, no one dares to bring them up! Shen Jingshu blocked Cui Liuer directly like this, Cui Liuer's face turned red immediately, "You, don't talk nonsense!"
"Why am I talking nonsense? Could it be that what Miss Cui said just now? Could it be that I misunderstood it?"
"No, I didn't mean that!"
"Then Miss Cui didn't mean that, why did she say that? It made me think that Miss Cui was dissatisfied with the emperor's imperial decree!"
"You wronged me!" When did this Shen Jingshu have such sharp teeth? Could it be that because of the imperial decree to grant the marriage, she became more and more arrogant
"Hehe, how dare I? I just understand what Miss Cui said. Or did I get it wrong just now? Miss Cui actually doesn't think I'm not worthy of the crown prince?"
"It was originally..." The last word "yes", Cui Liu'er saw that many people were looking at her because of the voice here, so she could only swallow it angrily, but she looked at Shen Jingshu as if she wanted to kill her, Let Shen Jingshu put on a scared look, "Miss Cui, I know that you look down on me, think that I am not worthy of a son, and even feel that this imperial edict is not suitable for me. I understand! It's just that the imperial edict has already been issued. , Miss Cui, don't be sad, I understand your infatuation for the son, but the matter is a foregone conclusion, don't be like this."
"You, you shut up, I didn't!" Hastily denied it, everyone was watching, if everyone knew that she had a crush on Prince Duan, would she have any face
Although she was also tempted by a handsome man like Prince Duan, but now that he has a marriage contract, she doesn't want others to know that it will ruin her reputation!
"Isn't it? But you have been blaming me just now, saying that I am not worthy of the son, if it is not your favorite son? Could it be that you are really dissatisfied with the imperial decree?" No matter which one you choose is wrong, Cui Liuer suddenly feels that she is in a dilemma. If you fall into the trap set by Shen Jingshu, if you are not careful, you will be lost forever!
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense? Did I hear you just now? I remember you did say those things just now, didn't you?"
"Of course not!" Now she can only deny it, otherwise she is dissatisfied with the imperial decree, or she likes Prince Duan, no matter what it is, it is enough for her to drink a pot!
"Oh, so I misheard, so Miss Cui came to congratulate me just now?"
"Hmph!" Cui Liu'er would not admit it even if she was in a disadvantaged position, so she would never admit it. She would bless Shen Jingshu and congratulate Shen Jingshu!
"What does Miss Cui mean by this? I'm not familiar with Miss Cui, and I don't think I've ever offended Miss Cui. Why does Miss Cui keep targeting me?" Poor, Shen Jingshu wiped herself with a handkerchief. The corners of the eyes looked as if they were crying. Seeing Shen Jingshu like this, Cui Liuer remembered that her poor friend said that Shen Jingshu was cunning and despicable, and now she felt angry, "Don't pretend, let me tell you, even if you are the son of Prince Duan in the future Concubine, you can't please yourself with your status! Do you think it's so easy to climb high? Then the higher you climb, the harder you fall, I want to see how long you can be proud!" After finishing speaking, he left Cui Liuer found that she couldn't speak to Shen Jingshu. She originally wanted to trouble Shen Jingshu, but she never wanted to be turned against by Shen Jingshu. Opportunities are plentiful, she just looks for it!
Turning around and leaving, Cui Liuer and Shen Jingshu left an impression that they were not on good terms, some were watching jokes, some were whispering, but it was Yuwen Qian'er who found out the situation here, and was a little worried, Walked over, "Miss Shen, don't worry about it, Miss Cui has always been like this, she can't be unreasonable."
"I think she is unreasonable and unforgiving!" Compared with Zheng Yanxue's haughty look, she is only high but not low. Sometimes she really doesn't understand, this one or two , she didn't offend her, so why do you always like to fight against her
"Just don't worry about it, she has this temperament." Although I don't know what kind of feud between Cui Liuer and Shen Jingshu, but Cui Liuer is the only prostitute of Pingyanghou, and her status is precious. It's not right now, it's better not to run into Cui Liu'er, so as to avoid trouble.
"Don't worry, I don't care." As long as the other party doesn't provoke her, she won't cause trouble. Of course, if the other party wants to provoke her, she has nothing to do.
"Well, everything in the palace needs to be cautious. Today is the Queen's Qianqiu, so naturally you have to be very cautious. If something goes wrong, it's not good." Yuwen Qian'er didn't know if she knew about the festival between the Shen family and the Queen. When Er suddenly mentioned this, Shen Jingshu heard it, and immediately smiled, "Well, I know." No matter what Yuwen Qian'er meant, Shen Jingshu would not turn a blind eye to her several times now.
She doesn't understand the situation of Prince Duan's Mansion at all. If the other party is really a good ally, she doesn't mind cooperating with each other.
Now it seems that Yuwen Qian'er's attitude is very clear, but I don't know if that concubine Hua is qualified to let her form an alliance
"Okay, let's go, let me introduce my friend to you!"
"Hmm!" Shen Jingshu knew some of Yuwen Qian'er's friends, but most of them didn't. Shen Jingshu greeted them one by one, and she didn't mean to be close friends. But those people were enthusiastic about Shen Jingshu, they pulled Shen Jingshu to talk, and asked Shen Jingshu to go to the house to play when she was free, it seemed that they really wanted to be friends with Shen Jingshu. Shen Jingshu knows this very well, she is the future imperial concubine, and it makes sense for these people to win her over, not to mention these people are Yuwen Qian'er's friends, aren't they
Smiling and saying something, Shen Jingshu found an excuse to rest aside, but unfortunately, she happened to meet Cui Liuer who was coming towards her, and before she could react, she didn't know when she appeared beside her A court lady came over with some snacks, she didn't know if she was hit by Shen Jingshu, those snacks immediately splashed on Cui Liu'er, when Cui Liuer saw her dirty clothes and looked at Shen Jingshu, she became furious, Without even thinking about it, she just threw her hand away, "Shen Jingshu, did you do it on purpose?" She is used to being arrogant at home, and she will slap anyone who offends her, and this time is no exception, Cui Liuer She has wanted to punish Shen Jingshu for a long time, and now it is a subconscious action, but she did not expect that she was covered in embarrassing stains, and she wanted to hit Shen Jingshu, but was stopped by Shen Jingshu.
Seeing her hand being tightly held by Shen Jingshu, Cui Liuer couldn't help feeling anxious, "Shen Jingshu, what do you mean?"
