After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 22
"Thinking about it, she is a very filial and affectionate person." Su Wunian raised her eyebrows slightly, "But since my cousin doesn't want to give up, I won't force her."

With that said, he turned and prepared to leave.

"Ah~" Shen Mengxi ran out of the eaves anxiously, even forgot to open her umbrella, and called Su Wunian kindly, "Cousin, don't be angry, she's just a lowly maid who made a mistake, what's wrong with my sister?"

"My younger sister is just worried that this lowly maid will be angry with my cousin in the future. If my cousin is interested, she can just take it away." Shen Mengxi said nicely, "My younger sister will find her deed of sale and send it to you later."

The corners of Su Wunian's lips twitched slightly.

Back at Lianyan Pavilion, while making the bed for Su Wunian, Biying said: "Miss, I just cleaned up the eyeliner of the second room, so I hurriedly stuffed another one in."

Bi Ying knew that the eldest lady had deliberately accepted this maid, so she must have a plan in the future, "What do you plan to do with her next?"

"So impatient to push people in, it must be because of recent actions, just watch Jiang Zhu carefully."

The maid's name is Jiang Zhu.

"I have some grudges, and it's time to take revenge." Su Wunian looked at the face in the bronze mirror, which looked like a ceramic doll, with murderous intent in his eyes.

The fifteenth day of the first month.

It has been four months since the Empress Dowager passed away, and besides the end of the new year, the Eldest Princess Xiao Yunji proposed to hold the Lantern Festival as in previous years.And this year, in order to commemorate the empress dowager, he specially participated in the blind shooting competition, gathering famous talents and beauties in the imperial capital to compete in blind shooting.

On the one hand, it can pay attention to useful talents for the court, and on the other hand, it can create opportunities for married men and women to get acquainted and get acquainted, and get married, which can be regarded as fulfilling the last wish of the Empress Dowager and changing the current situation of thin population in Qingyuan Kingdom.

The young emperor agreed.

The streets and alleys of the imperial capital are decorated with lights and festoons. Countless red lanterns seem to drive away the cold and sadness. People come and go, and there is joy.

A group of young men dressed in colorful brocade clothes danced dragons and lions. The children were full of smiles and ran after the long red dragon.In front of the lantern shop, there are all kinds of lanterns, such as orange lanterns, silk lanterns, jade rabbit lanterns, wishing lanterns... In order to attract people, lantern riddles are written on the lanterns. People who watched the excitement and guessed lantern riddles were crowded.

Jinxi Pavilion.

Compared with Lianyan Pavilion, it is much more frugal. Shen Pinglan's status in the court is not high, so Mrs. Shen does not pay special attention to the second bedroom, so naturally she is not as good as the first bedroom in all aspects of Shen's residence.

As a stepmother, Zhang Zhilan wants to take Shen Shengge as a face, so naturally she has never treated Shen Shengge badly in material terms.

Compared with the exquisite big bronze mirror in the Brilliant Pavilion, the small bronze mirror in front of Shen Mengxi looked too shabby, and there were a few jewelry on the dressing table, most of them were outdated styles.

Shen Mengxi opened the wooden box, and inside was the high-quality rouge in Xiaoxiang Pavilion that she had never been willing to use. It cost her a lot of money, and every time she used it, she felt very distressed.

The personal servant girl was dressing her up. She looked at herself in the mirror and asked shyly, "Mother, do you think I look beautiful today?"

Zhou put his hands on her thin shoulders, his eyes were full of admiration, "The beauty is so beautiful and empty, who is the fragrance for?"

"It's as beautiful as mother when she was young." Zhou stretched out her hand to caress Shen Mengxi's pretty oval face, and a look of disappointment flashed across her eyes, "It's a pity that mother married your useless father. .”

"Seeing your elder father and third uncle stepping up to the top and rising to the top, and the Zhang family and the Zhu family often showing off their power in front of me on weekdays, I can only grit my teeth and bear it. Who told me to marry a useless piece of trash."

"I am the daughter of the Marquis Mansion. The sisters I made friends with when I was a child were either rich or noble. I was the only one, and the days became more and more shabby. When I returned to my natal family, no one looked down on me. I often asked my natal family to help me. My mother has nothing to say about her suffering." .” Extremely wronged, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Mother..." Shen Mengxi called out distressedly, putting her hand on the back of Zhou's to comfort her, "When I successfully marry Brother Zhu, I will marry into the Hou's Mansion, which is considered a high marriage. From now on, no one will dare to look down on us again. "

"Yes, my Mengxi must shine brightly in the blind shooting competition tonight, attracting the attention of Master Zhu and making him fall in love with you."

"Daughter has this confidence. After he and Shen Shengge divorce, she will definitely marry me." She smiled like a flower, confident in her heart.

In the pavilion.

Standing in front of the exquisite bronze mirror, Zhang Zhilan personally supervised the candle scissors and wall shadows to dress Su Wunian.While scolding the candle scissors for being clumsy, she picked up the bright red rouge and was about to smear it on Su Wu's cheeks that were so pink.

"Such a small matter, why do you need to do it yourself? Candle scissors and wall shadows are enough." Su Wunian grabbed Zhang Zhilan's hand, but Zhang Zhilan immediately put down the rouge and took the opportunity to hold Su Wunian's hand, "Shengge, you Finally willing to take the initiative to shake mother's hand."

Eyes filled with excitement, "Mother knows that you have always had a grudge in your heart. Mother did not accompany you back to the house that night, so you were taken away by thieves. Since then, you have never touched my hand." , and even intentionally avoided..."

Su Wunian slowly pulled out her little hand, "You think too much, I just grew up after going through some things. In another year, I will be old enough."

Let Zhang Zhilan continue to give such guidance, she doesn't even want to go to the Lantern Festival tonight, after all, Su Wunian loves beauty all her life, and she can't stand Zhang Zhilan's aesthetics at all.If she is ugly, she will never go out.

However, Zhang Zhilan's own makeup has always been elegant and decent, but she deliberately cultivated Shen Shengge to be so vulgar.

"I don't like too gaudy makeup now, and I don't like too gaudy clothes." Su Wunian simply stopped pretending. After rebirth, she forced herself to wear only Shen Shengge's many clothes, the only two that could fit into her. The eye-catching skirt and jacket, she couldn't wear other clothes at all.

Still not giving up, Zhang Zhilan picked up an unbearably vulgar gold hairpin, "The makeup can be a little quieter, and the dress can be a little more elegant, but the jewelry on the body must not be shabby, after all, she is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, so she should have Style has to be there."

"Otherwise, it will be the face of our Shen residence."

"As long as our Shengge is beautiful, my mother will be happy. After all, I raised you. If you don't like the previous dress, mother will send someone to make it for you again. If you don't like rouge and gouache, mother will change it for you. Whoever tells me to spoil Shengge Well, you are my heart." The smile is gentle and kind, and the voice is as soft as a wind chime.

If it weren't for the soul of Su Wunian in Shen Shengge's body now, he might have been coaxed into forgetting the world.How can a 14-year-old girl withstand this kind of sugar-coated cannonball?

Why did Shen Shengge let Zhang Zhilan go?It's because of her coaxing mouth.But Su Wunian has long passed the age of knowing people's hearts with her ears. She has long been tired of hearing all the bragging and flattery of civil and military officials in the court.

"You will give me whatever I want?" Su Wunian asked, pretending to be spoiled and naive and romantic.

"That's natural." As he said that, he wanted to insert the tacky gold hairpin into Su Wunian's bun.

"From now on, I will choose my skirt, rouge powder, and gold and silver jewelry by myself, so you don't need to worry about it." Su Wunian snatched the golden hairpin from her hand, "I don't like this hairpin either."
