After Shen Jin embroidered the last stitch, she carefully cut off the embroidery thread, and after careful inspection, a little smile appeared on her face.
The maid who had been standing by the side smiled and said, "The girl embroiders really well, the princess will definitely like it."
Shen Jin pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't take the girl's words seriously. If she is good like this, then what is embroidered by the embroiderer in the palace
Concubine Chen, on the other hand, heard the maid's voice and opened the curtain to come in, and said, "The embroidery is finished, let me have a look."
"Mother." Shen Jin stepped aside after hearing the words, and asked a little uneasily, "I don't know if my concubine will like it."
"Silly girl." Concubine Chen glanced at the room, and told all the waiters to go down, leaving Li Ma who was close to her, and then took her daughter's hand and said, "The princess was born in the Zhao family, and she married Lord Rui. What kind of good things have you never seen before? No matter how delicate your embroidery is, so what."
Shen Jin bit her lower lip, and she immediately understood what her mother meant. Sending the princess was just a gift. Concubine Chen sighed, "It's all my mother's failure to live up to expectations. If... you don't have to learn this at a young age." .”
"Mother." Shen Jin snuggled into Concubine Chen's arms and said tenderly, "My daughter is not young anymore."
Concubine Chen nodded Shen Jin's head with a smile, "Okay, let's go outside and look at the flowers and plants. The princess sent two pots of peonies today, the color is very beautiful."
"Okay." Shen Jin was young, just when he loved to play, and when he heard this, he smiled and got up from Concubine Chen's arms and said, "Then can I go to the garden later?"
"Go." Concubine Chen herself didn't like to leave the courtyard, but she didn't care about her daughter.
Only then did Shen Jin ask the maid to go outside to look at the flowers. When Shen Jin left, the smile on Concubine Chen's face disappeared. She looked at the handkerchief embroidered by her daughter and sighed slowly. Finished what she had just said, "It's all my fault that I can't live up to the prince's liking, so Jinniang has to find ways to please others at a young age, Xu...forget it."
King Rui is the only younger brother of the current Holy Majesty. The palace is not only very large but also very beautiful. What Shen Jin likes most is the small gazebo built in the middle of the lake. Especially in June, when the lotus in the pond is just blooming, it is very beautiful. cute.
But today was a bit unfortunate, there was already someone in the pavilion, it was the concubine's eldest sister Shen Qi. Shen Jin goes in.
"Why don't you come here?" Shen Qi waved when she saw Shen Jin, told her to sit beside her, took a piece of yam red bean cake and put it in Shen Jin's hand before asking.
Shen Jin peeled off the outer layer of glutinous rice paper, and said with a smile, "Because I don't know what Eldest Sister is doing, I'm afraid to disturb Eldest Sister's interest."
Shen Qi smiled when she heard the words, she is the eldest in the family, there are four younger sisters, and the third younger sister is the most gentle and cautious, just like the little white rabbit she raised before, not only limp but also very timid, But it's no wonder she, whoever made Concubine Chen in the mansion act like a transparent person, easily leaving the yard.
The cakes made in Wangfei's small kitchen are delicious. The yam and red bean cakes still have a bit of milk flavor but they are not greasy at all. Shen Jin eats happily, and after taking small bites, her eyes become crooked. Shen Qi thinks that Those worries were gone, and after Shen Jin finished eating, he gave her another piece.
In exchange, Shen Jin smiled sweetly, "Thank you, big sister."
Shen Qi pinched Shen Jin's face, it was really limp, "Eat it."
"It turns out that the elder sister and the third younger sister are hiding here and whispering." Shen Zi saw Shen Qi and Shen Jin from a long distance away, and immediately brought her younger sister, Shen Jing, over. The hairpin is inlaid with dazzling rubies. It is obviously a gorgeous dress but it does not look vulgar. On the contrary, it adds a bit of dazzling beauty to Shen Zi. It is not difficult to imagine how old Shen Zi will be when she is a few years older. Overwhelm the country and the city.
And Shen Jing, who was walking behind Shen Zi on the right, was wearing a blue long dress and a pearl bu yao on her head. Although she was not as dazzling as Shen Zi, she was a little more charming.
Seeing the two, Shen Jin hurriedly put down the half-eaten pastry and stood up, calling first, "Second sister, fourth sister."
Compared with Shen Zi and Shen Jing, Shen Jin's delicate appearance is not enough. It's just that she followed her biological mother, her skin is fair, tender and smooth, and she has a pair of round almond eyes. It is very rare, especially her eyes are moist and clear, as if she wants to soften people's hearts. At first glance, she is not as good as her sisters, but it is very painful, and after a long time, she looks more and more pleasing to the eye.
Several people greeted each other before sitting down, and Shen Qi ordered the maid to bring tea to the two of them before saying, "There are some new snacks made in the kitchen, you should try them too." Jin took it with his own hands and gave it to them to eat.
"Thank you big sister." Shen Jing took a piece of flower-shaped pastry first, and said with a smile, "It's still the concubine's skillful hand. This pastry is so beautiful that people are reluctant to eat it."
Shen Jin pretended not to have heard the meaning of Shen Jing's words, took the half-eaten pastries and continued to sit on the side and slowly gnawed, and occasionally squeezed some crumbs to feed the fish in the lake, looking at a group of beautifully colored fish The scramble is especially fun, just like these sisters and sisters in the family.
Shen Zi took a sip of tea, and suddenly saw the coral string on Shen Qi's wrist, and looked up at Shen Qi's ear, it really was the matching coral earrings, when she heard that the palace gave a set of red coral jewelry, She acted like a baby and wanted to take care of King Rui, but King Rui didn't agree with her, but she didn't want to see it on Shen Qi today, and she was still wearing it so casually.
Shen Zi's eyes were too revealing, let alone Shen Jin who had been carefully paying attention to the surroundings, even Shen Qi, who didn't care much about these two concubine sisters, noticed it. I couldn't help sneering in my heart, put down the round fan in my hand, took off the string directly, took Shen Jin's soft hand, and wrapped it around for her, "I see that the color on your body is getting darker, so I will give you this string." Let's play."
Shen Jin couldn't help groaning inwardly, she hid aside to feed the fish, how could she be involved, but at this moment it was hard to say anything, she just raised her wrist and shook it, the red coral bead was on her hand Not to mention how beautiful she is, she said cheerfully, "Thank you big sister, I liked it very much the moment I saw it." Anyway, this string belongs to her, and she has already offended Shen Zi, so it's hard to offend Shen Qi again.
"The third younger sister really knows the goods. These things are rare treasures in the palace." Shen Zi tightly squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, obviously anxious, but with a smile on her face, "You have to put it away carefully, Mo Lose it, I'm afraid the side concubine has never seen such a good look."
The words were so sour that Shen Jin felt a toothache, but the second sister really liked red things, so she almost dressed herself as a lantern.
Shen Qi smiled and said, "For people like us, if we don't have anything, the color of this thing is not bad. When I lose it, I will find a better one for my third sister." shallow.
Shen Zi's complexion changed, and she suddenly smiled, "The elder sister taught me a lesson, but I heard that the concubine mother is talking about the marriage with the elder sister. Could it be that the concubine mother specially prepared this thing for..."
Shen Jin's eyes widened, why didn't she know about this, it turned out that the elder sister was going to talk about marriage, and so on, it's not right, this is not something that their girls can talk about, if the princess finds out, she will be punished severely.
Sure enough, Shen Qi frowned, and Shen Jing also realized that it was not good, so she quickly tugged on Shen Zi's sleeve, but Shen Zi didn't care, and then said, "Let my sister be happy?"
"Come here." Shen Qi didn't get angry at all, and said calmly, "Tie up all the women and maids around my second sister." After speaking, she stood up, Shen Jin only felt that today was a bad day, and nothing happened What to do this trip, I am afraid that I will cause trouble for my mother again, Shen Qi is naturally not afraid of Shen Zi and the others, but Shen Jin is, and the princess will definitely not let this opportunity go, not only the mother-in-law next to the second sister Maid, even Concubine Xu will be punished.
"Sister, what are you going to do?" Shen Zi stood up angrily, and said anxiously and angrily, if Shen Qi tied up the people around her today, she might become a joke in the house tomorrow.
Shen Jing hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, second sister is just joking, let second sister match you up, let's forget about it."
Shen Zi didn't even look at them, and walked out holding the maid's hand, "Second sister, let me go to my mother's place." Then she glanced at Shen Jin, and saw that Shen Jin's eyes were round, as if she was being tortured. Seeing the frightened little animal, I couldn't help softening my heart, and said in a soft voice, "The third and fourth sisters should go back first."
Shen Jin immediately said, "Yes." Turning around, she was about to go out, maybe because she felt bad, she quickly stopped, and said, "The eldest sister, second sister, and fourth sister, I'll go first." After finishing speaking, wait for Shen Qi to nod , and left with the maid.
Shen Jing thought for a while, and decided to go back to find her mother to save the situation, secretly gave Shen Zi a wink, and then left.
In fact, Shen Jin was so regretful that she went straight to the main room to find Concubine Chen. Without caring about the maids in the room, she got into her mother's arms, hugged her waist tightly, and sniffed her body with her little nose. The faint scent made me breathe a sigh of relief. I still need to remind my mother of this matter. Concubine Chen got into her arms as soon as she saw her daughter came back, so she reached out and gently stroked her back, and ordered Said, "Mama Li, go and mix a cup of honey water."
"Mother, I was just now..." Shen Jin said the matter in a low voice, then took off the skewer from his hand and put it into Concubine Chen's hand, asking, "What should I do?"
Concubine Chen also hated in her heart, the elder girl and the second girl were fighting each other, no matter what they did, they wanted to involve her daughter, I am afraid that when she went to the study room tomorrow, her daughter would be wronged again, and the second girl did not have a long memory, Xu Choufei No matter how favored she is, the princess is also the master of the backyard.
But at this time, it is not easy to say that again, so as not to scare my daughter, I just said, "Don't be afraid, today's matter has nothing to do with you. Since this bead string is a gift from the eldest girl, you can wear it. I haven't seen it yet." The coral skewers with such a beautiful color, just match the light yellow dress you just made."
Shen Jin came out of her mother's arms and drank half a cup of honey water, "I think it's very beautiful too. By the way, that yam and red bean cake is delicious."
"Silly girl, if you like it, let the kitchen make some and send it over today." Concubine Chen pinched her daughter's earlobe and said with a smile.
Just as Shen Jin was about to say a few more words, she saw Li Ma coming in from the outside, with a bit of worry in her eyes, "Ma'am, the princess sent someone to invite the third girl over, saying that she wanted to ask a few words."
"Mother?" Shen Jin bit her pink lips.
Concubine Chen patted her hand, "Don't panic, just tell the truth about what the princess asked." After thinking about it for a while, she still felt uneasy, so she stood up and took her daughter's hand, "I'll go with you."
