Queen's scheming

Chapter 112 Revenge ([-])

"The concubine pays her respects to the empress, and the empress is blessed and safe!" Shen Qingwan entered the palace door, bowed politely, and said softly.

Shen Qingyi was having tea with An Qingyao, when she heard that Concubine Wan was begging to see her, she thought she was coming to Ningsu Palace to show off again, but unexpectedly, she just greeted her politely when they met, which made Shen Qingyi very uncomfortable.

Shen Qingyi looked at her carefully, and saw that Shen Qingwan was wearing a light pearl-pink Shu brocade outer dress twisted with gold and silver threads, and a light goose yellow high-waisted pleated moon skirt, embroidered with jasmine flowers inside and out pattern.Shen Qingyi couldn't help sighing in her heart, Shen Qingwan's heart was so entangled, she obviously liked bright colors, but because of her dull complexion, she often used light colors to set off her complexion, she thought that such soft colors could set off her complexion. She is so weak and cute, but she doesn't know that she is dressed like this, she used to be able to see it too much, but now she is pregnant, her belly is slightly bulging, and her complexion is getting darker. The contrast between the person and the clothes is obvious, and it is a little unattractive Eyes.

Since An Qingyao entered the palace with Shen Qingwan, she got up and stood by Shen Qingyi's side. At this time, she saluted Shen Qingwan and said softly, "My daughter-in-law greets Concubine Wan and Empress Wan, she is auspicious and peaceful."

Shen Qingwan immediately stepped forward to help An Qingyao, and said with a smile: "Oh, my concubine dare not accept your gift. I heard that the Queen Mother's acceptance of you as a righteous daughter is already a certainty. The canonization ceremony is all prepared. Come on!"

An Qingyao didn't care about Shen Qingwan, and performed the full ceremony according to the rules, and then replied respectfully: "If the canonization ceremony has not been performed for a day, the minister's daughter-in-law should abide by her duty."

After Shen Qingwan heard this, her molars were about to be gritted. An Qingyao was clearly mocking her original publicity. The empress dowager revoked her honor as imperial concubine after only sitting for a day.

Shen Qingwan took a deep breath, concealed her resentment, raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll take it easy and call you Sister An. I don't know what title the Ministry of Internal Affairs has given to you." You, let this concubine also be happy."

Shen Qingyi sat up at the head, smiled slightly, and said, "If you have anything to say, sit down before it's too late!" Shen Qingwan kept holding An Qingyao and never let her go, even if Shen Qingyi didn't want to give her a seat, she couldn't let An Qingyao sit down. Qing Yao stood still.

Only then did Shen Qingwan let go of An Qingyao's hand, stroked the jasmine-patterned snow-forged handkerchief in her hand, and said softly: "In the past, when I met Sister An, I was in a hurry, and I never looked at it carefully. After catching the real master, this is really a lovely person when you look at it carefully."

Shen Qingwan looked An Qingyao up and down. The soft lilac purple plain water cloud pattern outer dress was rolled with moon white wide piping, and the inside was covered with a hibiscus red six-panel pomegranate skirt without pleats. The skirt was embroidered with The falling pear petals are light and shallow, like mist, delicate and pleasant.It's a pity to lose such a good appearance!
An Qingyao replied in a lukewarm manner: "Miss Concubine Wan is absurdly praised! The minister-in-law just talked about the title with the empress empress, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs chose Ningxuan and Yueyi, and the minister-in-law felt that Yueyi The word Ningxuan is very good, but the Empress Dowager and Empress both think that the word Ningxuan is better!"

Shen Qingwan gritted her teeth, and repeated: "Princess Ningxuan? Concubine Jing enjoys the honor of a two-word title, and there will be no one else around her." The little flames in Shen Qingwan's heart were swishing, and now even a lady from the Luoyang Marquis Mansion would pass her by.

Shen Qingyi didn't have time to pay attention to Shen Qingwan, took a sip of pear mountain tea, and said: "Qingyao, don't hide it from me, don't you, the empress dowager, and me don't know your little thoughts? Do you really think 'Yue Yi' Are these two words better than the word "Ningxuan"? I see, not necessarily. You originally clashed with me because of your boudoir name, so you were careful, but this time you are because of the word "Ning" , collided with the condensin palace?"

An Qingyao lowered her eyebrows and said with a slight smile: "The empress misunderstood, the minister's daughter-in-law really likes the word 'Yueyi', 'Yue' means happy mood, 'Yi' means refreshing, it's really great!"

Shen Qingyi saw that she couldn't speak against her, so she could only pretend to be angry and said: "This word 'Yi' conflicts with the word 'Yi' in this palace, I don't like it!"

Seeing that Shen Qingyi was angry, An Qingyao tilted her head and thought for a while, "It's not easy to call the Ministry of Internal Affairs to change it now, why not call it the word 'Yuexuan', so that there will be no conflict, anyway, it's just a It’s just a title, why should the Empress value it so much?”

Shen Qingyi sighed, squinted at her and said, "I didn't say that I was afraid of offending my palace, so let's tell the truth now! Let Yuexuan be Yuexuan, it sounds better than Yueyi, and it's easy to call young people old gone."

Shen Qingwan couldn't get in the way for a long time, so she hurriedly said at this moment: "That's right, Sister An, this title is not easy. As long as it's decided, it will be with you for the rest of my life, but you have to choose it!"

Shen Qingyi glanced at Shen Qingwan indifferently, and said indifferently: "Concubine Wan has just returned to the palace from Duke Feng's Mansion, right? Is there something to do in Ningsu Palace?"

Shen Qingwan smiled gently, but her eyes were shining brightly, like a hungry wolf seeing prey, and said: "It's not a big deal. The concubine returned to the mansion, and it happened that the big kitchen made sour plum and sunflower seed juice, for the Duke's concern." Seeing that the empress loves to eat, so I asked my concubine to bring some back for her to taste. The concubine said that there is nothing we can do in the imperial dining room in the palace, but Duke Feng insisted that he must have a taste. The Duke said that Mu Hao passed away at a young age, and I didn't care much about him, so now I can only do my best for the empress."

Shen Qingyi just looked at Shen Qingwan so calmly and didn't speak. It was a big joke that Feng Guogong cared about her, and he even brought out Mu Hao to talk about it. Could it be that he wanted to poison her to death with a cup of sour plum and sunflower seed juice?The words are so beautiful!

As Shen Qingwan spoke, she ordered someone to bring up a food box. Just as she was about to do it, she went to fill it herself, when she saw Yu Lian rushing forward, quickly took the food box, smiled gently, and said politely: "Here is the food box." How can such rough work be done by the concubine Wan herself, and the servants will do it!"

Shen Qingwan had long expected that Shen Qingyi would not use the soup cup she personally brought, so she didn't insist, she just smiled and said, "That's really troublesome Miss Yulian!"

"Concubine Wan, you are being polite, this is what a servant girl should do!" Yu Lian smiled more beautifully than the hibiscus flowers outside the door, but when her hands touched the soup bowl, she said in surprise: "Oh, this soup bowl It's not hot, the imperial doctor ordered that the empress's stomach is cold, so she can't eat food with a little cold star, how about this, the servants go to the small kitchen to warm it up, and then serve it." After Yu Lian finished speaking, she didn't care whether Shen Qingwan should respond or not. Yes, carrying the food box and went down.

Shen Qingwan's complexion changed a few times, even a little court lady dared to act presumptuously in front of her, she clenched the rouyi under the pale pink and pearl colored wide sleeves a few times, and said with a forced smile: "The maid in front of the empress is really caring. , Seeing that the heart hurts the empress, he doesn't even ask the concubines."

Shen Qingyi heard Shen Qingwan's tone of reproach, and smiled slightly: "This palace can't say it, let alone Concubine Wan, even if the emperor came up that day, these two girls would dare to shake face, but anyone who treats this palace If there is anything wrong with it, the two of them will not let it go."

After hearing this, Shen Qingwan naturally couldn't say more, no matter how noble she was, she couldn't be more noble than the emperor, what could she say?She could only swallow her resentment into her stomach, thinking that sooner or later, she would get back all the humiliation she had suffered, and today she only charged a little interest.
