happy match

Shen Qiuyu finally couldn't laugh anymore.

There are definitely not a few people who know about the past between her and Gu Xinian.However, due to her current status as a prince and side concubine, no one would mention this in front of her without knowing the taste.Unexpectedly, Ye Qinglan pierced this layer so boldly...

Shen Qiuyu's expression was stiff and ugly, but Ye Qinglan smiled to be calm.

In this contest, who is superior and who is inferior can be seen at a glance!

Just when the atmosphere was stiff and awkward, the lady-in-law came in with a smile, and behind her were several court ladies, each holding delicate dishes in their hands, and put them on the table one by one.

Officer Yue didn't seem to notice the difference in the atmosphere, she smiled apologetically and said: "The empress only ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a table of dishes, these are the rules of the imperial dining room, today I have wronged Concubine Shen and Miss Ye Shi."

Shen Qiuyu took a deep breath, and forced out a gentle smile: "Miss Laoyue, don't worry about it. These dishes are already very good, cousin Lan, don't you think so?"

Is this secretly ridiculing her for her low birth and ignorance?Ye Qinglan smiled calmly and said, "What Concubine Shen said is true."

With the presence of Yue Nuguan and a group of court ladies, the conversation between the two came to an end.Next, the two ate their lunch quietly.As a real noble lady, table manners have been strictly trained and educated.What is important is that the posture is elegant and the meal is silent, and even the amount of food is strictly controlled, and it is only seventy percent full at most.

Shen Qiuyu deliberately wanted to overpower Ye Qinglan, deliberately showing her reserved and elegant side.Even the posture of holding chopsticks is very graceful.In her opinion, Ye Qinglan is just a concubine.How good is table manners?In front of the perfect self, there must be only inferiority complex.

Ye Qinglan knew that Shen Qiuyu was putting on a show, but she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.This Shen Qiuyu is really good at disguising.Even if he knew that she had a cruel heart and a double heart, he still couldn't help being confused by her elegant and relaxed appearance.No wonder he has been able to monopolize the prince's favor for several years.

That boring question came to mind again.Can Gu Xinian really completely forget Shen Qiuyu?

……

Well, this question is really boring!Ye Qinglan quickly diverted her thoughts away, and began to think about the most practical issues at the moment.

Empress Gu summoned herself to the palace for an audience.From now on, Mrs. Xue will not dare to think of her again!However, a cross-examination is certainly inevitable.The matter between her and Gu Xinian probably won't be kept secret for long...

The result of inattentiveness is.Accidentally ate an extra bowl...

When Ye Qinglan came back to her senses, she realized that Shen Qiuyu had already stopped her chopsticks and was looking at her with a slight smile.There was clearly some contempt in that seemingly friendly smile: "Cousin Lan, why don't you eat more? The dishes in the palace are carefully prepared by the imperial chefs, and you don't have the chance to eat them on weekdays."

Ye Qinglan sneered inwardly.But there was a grateful smile on his face: "Yes, the imperial food in the palace is really delicious. If it's not that I can't eat any more, I really want to eat some more." After speaking, he asked with concern: "Shen side concubine only eats I put the chopsticks away after half a bowl, are you not used to eating imperial meals? This is the imperial meal that the Empress personally rewarded, Shen Fangfei will not be dissatisfied!"

Shen Qiuyu smiled slightly.Immediately he said nonchalantly: "Of course not, but. I don't eat much, so I only eat half a bowl to be full." After a pause, he pretended to be kind and easy-going: "How old is my cousin Xu Changlan? I just have the audacity to teach Cousin Lan a few words. In the future, you have to restrain yourself in front of others. If you only care about eating, you will be laughed at."

Ye Qinglan blinked, with an innocent expression on her face: "Really? But, if you only care about other people's eyes, you won't be full. How hypocritical."

...Shen Qiuyu suddenly realized that the self-control she was so proud of was crumbling!

She is too careless to underestimate the enemy!How could an ordinary girl catch Gu Xinian's eyes.Facts have proved that this seemingly gentle and quiet girl is actually a cunning and insidious little fox, with a sharp tongue that makes people want to vomit blood for three liters!

Yue Nvguan stood aside, looking at her nose, nose, nose, and heart, as if she didn't hear the two of them talking.

She is the confidant of Empress Gu, and she is basically present when the concubines come to pay their respects.She was used to this kind of verbal confrontation.However, the strange thing is, why did Concubine Shen compete with Miss Ye Shi?

Thinking of the rumors about Concubine Shen that I had heard before, Officer Yue suddenly realized something...

With Shen Qiuyu's cautious temperament, she shouldn't be so impulsive.But the fact that Gu Xinian had empathized with someone else deeply stimulated the most fragile and soft part of her heart, causing her to behave abnormally.

However, after a brief gaffe, Shen Qiuyu quickly regained consciousness and regained her original elegance and calmness.He smiled and said: "Since we are full, how about we go to the garden outside Fengyi Hall?"

Ye Qinglan replied with a more gentle and cordial smile: "Since Concubine Shen has such a passion, I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Obviously, going to the garden is an excuse, and the real thing is to find a secluded place to continue competing with her. of.Since Shen Qiuyu couldn't wait to humiliate herself, of course she couldn't be disappointed.

The two looked at each other, each sneered in their hearts, then got up and walked out.Officer Yue didn't dare to neglect, she hurriedly followed, and with a few maids in the palace, the momentum was not small.

Shen Qiuyu walked unhurriedly in front, and Ye Qinglan followed unhurriedly.

The scenery in the garden is naturally excellent. There are three steps, one pavilion, five steps and one rockery, and there are all kinds of colorful flowers and plants, which make people feel relaxed and happy.It's a pity that neither Shen Qiuyu nor Ye Qinglan was in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

After walking slowly for a while, Shen Qiuyu suddenly turned her head and said with a smile: "Cousin Lan, there are a few begonias blooming right there, why don't we go and admire them?"

Ye Qinglan readily agreed.

Officer Yue was just about to follow up dutifully, when she saw Shen Qiuyu's wonderful eyes looking over, she smiled sweetly and said, "Officer Yue must be tired too, why don't you take them to the pavilion over there to have a rest for a while."

The implication is very obvious, and Yue Nvguan naturally understands it immediately.After a little hesitation, he responded with a smile.Fortunately, the pavilion was not far from the crabapple tree, and both of them were within sight.There must be nothing wrong!

After dismissing Mrs. Yue and all the court ladies, Shen Qiuyu and Ye Qinglan walked under the crabapple tree one after the other.

These crabapple trees are growing very well, with luxuriant branches and leaves and gorgeous flowers, and the breeze is blowing, bursts of fragrance rush to the face, refreshing.The sun shines on the ground through the gaps, and the light spots are spotty.

Shen Qiuyu stood under the tree, suddenly in a trance for a moment.The memories hidden deep in my heart came overwhelmingly.

Back then, she and Gu Xinian were childhood sweethearts who were in love with each other.She loves crabapple flowers the most, and often plays the piano under the tree.And that gentle and handsome young man stood not far away with a smile on his face, holding a paintbrush to draw her into the painting...

During this trance, a slender figure walked in front of her and smiled slightly: "Does Concubine Shen like crabapple flowers very much?"

Shen Qiuyu calmed down, and said with a faint smile: "Yes, I have always liked crabapple." After a moment's pause, she sighed with nostalgia: "There are many crabapple planted in Duke Dingguo's mansion, and I like the one under the crabapple tree the most. Playing the piano. Cousin Xi Nian is good at Danqing, and he even painted for me..."

Speaking of this, as if aware of a slip of the tongue, she smiled apologetically: "Look at me, how can I talk about this. Cousin Lan, the relationship between Cousin Xi Nian and I is a thing of the past. Ever since I married After arriving at the Prince's Mansion, my cousin Xi Nian and I have lost contact. Cousin Xi Nian has not been married for a long time, and it is probably not because of me. Don't worry too much."

Sure enough, he is a provocative master. Just a few words can make people panic.

Ye Qinglan smiled calmly and said: "Concubine Shen is serious. In fact, I have heard about the matter between you and Cousin Gu. As you said, that is all in the past. You are the prince now The side concubine, of course, won't think about Cousin Gu anymore. As for Cousin Gu's refusal to get married, I also asked him the reason, and he said..."

Speaking of this, he deliberately pretended to be shy and lowered his head.

Shen Qiuyu was really hooked and asked, "What did he say?"

People probably have such bad roots.Obviously he abandoned it on his own initiative, but when the other party really has a new love, he feels angry and unwilling to be robbed of his own things.The current Shen Qiuyu is in this kind of subtle and complicated emotions.So far from the usual calm.

Ye Qinglan waited for her to ask this question, smiling shyly and sweetly: "Cousin Gu said that he has not been married for a long time because he has not found someone he really likes. This must be God's arrangement, so he has been waiting I."

Ye Qinglan opened his mouth to say something like this, without any psychological burden.The effect was also very obvious, and Shen Qiuyu's face changed slightly, and her voice trembled a little: "He... really said that?"

How could it be possible, he obviously refused to marry another woman because he always had her in his heart...

Ye Qinglan smiled sweetly: "Yes, that's what he really said." After a pause, she said considerately: "Isn't it true that Concubine Shen is still brooding over the past and feels that she has something wrong with Cousin Gu?" Feel guilty! In fact, you really don’t have to. Cousin Gu has forgotten all about the past. So, you don’t have to feel sorry for Cousin Gu, and you don’t need to explain anything to me. I believe he is now I'm the only one in my heart."

Shen Qiuyu's pretty face was faintly pale, and she bit her lip hard, forcing herself to calm down.Taking a deep breath, he asked, "Did he really say that? Could it be you who lied to me casually?"

Ye Qinglan opened her eyes pretending to be surprised: "I don't understand what you said, why should I lie to you?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
