Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 103 What is three obediences and four gains
A burst of strong fragrance blew into the gazebo with the wind, Shen Wanyu frowned slightly.Looking up at the glamorous woman who was slowly approaching surrounded by a group of palace people, her plump and enchanting figure was set off even more captivatingly by the light green palace dress with silk and double nests of clouds and geese.A head of jet-black hair is tied into a Lingyun bun, and between the buns are embellished with deformed silk-wrapped red gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with beads and a silk-wrapped dotted emerald gold step.

With the movement of her footsteps, the tassels under the emerald golden step shaker with silk swaying gently reflected the shimmering luster.The eyebrows are like a crescent moon, the eyes contain autumn water, the lips are white, and the eyebrows are emerald.The icy skin is clear, plump and graceful, and there is a charming and soft charm.She is obviously a woman in her 30s, but her posture is more than that of a girl.

"I heard that Wanyu was recruited by the Empress Dowager to accompany her in the palace, so I wanted to go and have a look. I didn't expect to meet here." Concubine Shu was supported by her confidant Xinyao and walked into the pavilion. She looked at Shen Wanyu with three-point enchanting beautiful eyes.

"My daughter Wanyu greets Concubine Shu, my lady, all blessings." When Shen Wanyu saw the visitor, she stood up calmly and performed a standard blessing salute.

Concubine Shu shifted her gaze to Princess Huimin, took her hand with love in her eyes and said, "Huimin hasn't come to my place for a while, I miss you girl very much."

A look of disgust flashed in Huimin's eyes, but there was a playful smile on his face: "Didn't I hear that the empress was found to be a month old in the imperial hospital a few days ago, and I was afraid that I would disturb your pregnancy."

"It's just because you have to raise your baby in the Yonghe Palace, and you don't have anyone to talk to yourself with. You are bored to death. From now on, you and I will often go to accompany this palace, understand?" Concubine Shu said with a spring breeze on her face. A general smile, the brow is the joy of being a mother.

Huimin nodded with a smile in response to Concubine Shu's words, and she shifted her gaze to Shen Wanyu who still maintained the Wanfu ceremony.

"Concubine Shu, Wanyu is still here."

"Oh, look at Bengong's memory. I was so busy talking to Huimin that I forgot about Wanyu. Get up quickly and sit down next to Bengong. Last time, the Queen Mother's birthday was too hasty and she didn't take a good look at you. .”

Concubine Shu seemed to have just remembered that there was Shen Wanyu, and suddenly realized that she patted her forehead.Quickly asked her to get up, pulled her to sit beside him, and looked her up and down.

Shen Wanyu didn't speak, just smiled gently and sat beside Concubine Shu, allowing her to look at herself.It was only the first day she had entered the palace, so someone came and couldn't wait to show her off.It's just that this one is a little too impatient, she doesn't seem to have too much involvement in being the concubine Shu.

"Wan Yu congratulates Concubine Shu for her new dragon seed. She will definitely add another cute and healthy little prince to the emperor in the future." Shen Wan Yu smiled like a little girl.

Concubine Shu stretched out her hand to flick the tangled silk in her hair and tapped the emerald gold step, her soft and charming eyes gave Shen Wanyu a coquettish look.There was a little more softness in the voice: "You girl is really spoiled by the queen mother and empress dowager, even I dare to make fun of you. That's all, I'm a little tired. I won't spare you two A little girl chatted."

Xinyao, who was standing by the side, immediately stepped forward to help Concubine Shu up cleverly, and stood up slowly, she was just pregnant.But that posture had already been put on, Concubine Shu lazily glanced back at the palace servants around her.

"Back to Yonghe Palace!"

A group of people returned along the original road in a mighty manner, watching the group of people gradually walk away.Shen Wanyu took out a brocade handkerchief from her bosom, and waved it in the air.

"I really don't know how much incense this concubine Shu has put on her body. It's really fragrant. I'm afraid that if she sits for a while longer, I will be fainted."

Princess Huimin, who was in a bad mood because of Concubine Shu's arrival, burst out laughing when she heard her words.She reached out and tapped her forehead, coquettishly.

"You are the only one who dares to say this in the palace. Concubine Shu has been walking sideways in the palace recently because of her pregnancy. You also know how much father and emperor value children, and you have favored Concubine Shu in the first place. As soon as you entered the palace, she immediately came over to show you off. In the future, if you see her, you will take a detour. If you really can't spare it, then be more cautious."

Shen Wanyu shrugged nonchalantly, and raised her chin slightly: "You say how long a person's life is, and if they do anything, they are timid. What is the meaning of this life? I have my own principles. As long as people don't offend me, I won't Prisoner, if someone offends me, I will pay you back a hundredfold. Besides, can I keep a low profile now?"

Princess Huimin opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.How could she not understand the meaning of Shen Wanyu's words, her grandmother and queen mother had already pushed her to the forefront of this storm, and it would be an extravagant hope to keep a low profile.

"Cousin Huimin, you don't have to worry about me. Since I can't live a low-key life, let's live a high-key life. Don't you think so?"

Hui Min was slightly taken aback, this was the first time she called her cousin.She was a little excited, for this smiling cousin who was deeply loved by her grandmother and queen mother.In the past, she knew that she would not easily put others in her heart, but now she clearly felt that she had been recognized by her.

"Cousin, you have to remember that in the future you will have your grandmother, mother and queen, and my cousin."

Shen Wanyu nodded, she took Huimin's hand and said, "Cousin is Dakun's eldest princess, and this status is so honorable. But I also understand that my cousin must also yearn for the lifelong couple that I said, we Dakun All princesses are delicate. Of course a concubine cannot take concubines, but I also hope that my cousin can choose a husband who really likes you instead of the benefits of your noble status."

Huimin was touched in her heart, she nodded: "As a princess of the royal family, my marriage is not up to me. But the queen mother and the emperor love me, so..." Huimin's face was slightly red, a little shy Said: "So the father and the mother promised me to let me choose a consort who suits my heart. But you can't tell others about this."

"I understand. After all, the princess of the royal family still has the second princess and the others. If they know, something might happen." Shen Wanyu understands that the affairs of the royal family are higher than their struggles in the deep house. I don't know how many grades.

"It's good that you understand, but I always feel that you have changed a lot compared to before, as if you were a different person." Huimin held her chin with one hand, and looked at her with a pair of bright almond eyes, "Did you meet someone?" What happened?"

Shen Wanyu shook her head, then set her gaze on the calm lake outside the pavilion.Under the sunlight, the lake is covered with dazzling waves.In the crystal clear lake, you can see groups of fish playing.

"I've been through the gates of hell once, and I can't understand anything else. In the past, Wanyu was too ignorant and was blinded by lard. She listened to the villain's instigation and hurt her grandmother and mother." Dear, I am sad. Now that I understand everything, I will naturally not be the same as before. I am not afraid of my cousin's jokes, I am very vengeful. Those who owe me, I will get back a hundred times one day. "

Hui Min put her arms around Shen Wanyu's shoulders, feeling sorry for this cousin.She didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only comfort her silently.

"It's all over, Wanyu understood early. It didn't cause an irreparable situation. This is already God's love for Wanyu. Let's not talk about these unhappy things, let's talk about the husband candidate in my cousin's heart of?"

Shen Wanyu raised her eyebrows, and looked at the pink-faced Huimin with a playful look in her eyes.

"You girl is really shameless, how could someone ask so bluntly." Hui Min reached out and knocked her head, but Dao also lowered his head and thought for a moment: "As you said, you need someone who loves me wholeheartedly." I don’t ask how good his family background is, as long as he has a good character.”

Shen Wanyu tilted her head and thought for a while, then said playfully, "That's not okay, I have to match my beautiful cousin. At least the appearance has to be handsome and unrestrained, and the temperament has to be outstanding."

"Okay, I don't care about these at all. Let me tell you, what is the ideal husband in your heart?" Min Hui rolled her eyes at Shen Wanyu, and she couldn't help but wonder what the husband in her little cousin's heart was like.

"My future husband, naturally he must have a handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament. He can go to the hall and go to the kitchen, and abide by the three obediences and four rules. The most important thing is that I am the only one in my heart. I don't take concubines, and I will be a couple for life." Shen Wanyu smiled. Speaking of the conditions of her future husband, anyway, she felt that such a man could not be found in this era.

But for some reason, a monstrous persimmon appeared in his mind.The gentle look in those long and narrow single phoenix eyes made people throb uncontrollably.The heart skipped a beat involuntarily, and her cheeks felt a little hot.

"Three obediences and four virtues? Aren't women supposed to abide by the three obediences and four virtues when they get married?" Huimin tilted her head and looked at her little cousin doubtfully. thing.

"The three obediences and the four virtues are not the three obediences and the four virtues." Shen Wanyu smiled mysteriously and winked at Princess Huimin.

Huimin's eyes lit up, and her curiosity was aroused: "Tell me, what's the difference?"

"The three obediences that I say a husband should obey are: a wife must follow when she goes out, she must obey what she says, and a lady must follow blindly even if she makes a mistake; a lady must wait to dress up, remember her birthday, and be willing to spend money. Beating and scolding must be tolerated. And we girls must follow the three obediences and four principles, never gentle, never considerate, never reasonable. Never speak, never beat, never scold, never provoke..."

Huimin listened to Shen Wanyu's words, and looked at her dumbfounded.This is really the most incredible three obediences and four gains she has ever heard. It turns out that the three obediences and four gains can be understood in this way.

"I really don't know what strange things are installed in your head. There is no man in this world who can obey these three obediences and four gains."

"Ning Que Wu Lan, if there is no big deal, I won't marry in this life. And the world is so big, who would know that there is no such person? If anyone can do this, I will definitely marry him without hesitation."

Shen Wanyu pursed her lips and smiled slightly, her eyes glowing brightly.The already gorgeous little face is even more eye-catching at this moment.The two cousins ​​continued to speak their own words, completely unaware that what they said just now fell into their hearts.

Behind the rockery not far from the Linxi Pavilion, she is wearing a moon-white robe with dark patterns and tufted flowers, with a vermilion three-inlaid white jade belt around her waist. The gold and blue patterns on the robe are hand-embroidered, very delicate and gorgeous.Her jet-black hair was tied with a jade crown.His face was as perfect as a monster, and this person was Chu Mohan who was about to enter the palace to pay his respects to the emperor.

Chu Mohan looked through the gap in the rockery, looking at the smiling little girl.What she just said was still lingering in her ears, her pretty eyebrows raised.The thin lips parted slightly, as if muttering to himself.

"Do you get three from four? Interesting."

Ying, who had been standing silently behind him all this time, withdrew his expressionless face.He knew his master too well, and he remembered Miss Shen's words in his heart.

It was really hard for him to imagine that his tall and stalwart was like a god-like master in their hearts washing his hands and making soup.Thinking about his body, he couldn't help shivering, it was too scary.

"Master, the emperor should already be waiting for you in the imperial study." Ying stepped forward boldly, reminding with a stiff voice.

Chu Mohan glanced at the figure behind him lightly, and then glanced at the people in the pavilion with special meaning.Only then did he turn around and leave with some reluctance, but the ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth never faded away.

Passing through the imperial garden, Chu Mohan kept thinking about Shen Wanyu's words.The steps under his feet became slower and slower, and Ying followed behind with his head down, keeping silent.

"Ying, invite the cook from the palace to the study tomorrow. I want to see him."

Ying's body froze, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.He opened his mouth and asked cautiously: "Master, don't you really want to learn how to cook?"

"Do you have any objections?" Chu Mohan turned around, raised his eyebrows and looked at Ying with a strange face with a half-smile.

"No, as long as the master likes it." Ying lowered her head and quickly replied.The master makes the decision, and those of them who are subordinates can only obey orders.

Chu Mohan nodded in satisfaction, and walked towards the imperial study in a happy mood.The steps under his feet are also much lighter, and it can be seen how good his mood is at the moment.

When Shen Wanyu returned to the Empress Dowager's Shou'an Palace, Nanny Yu had already had her bathing things prepared.After she went to take a bath, she changed into a set of clothes and went to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother just woke up from her afternoon nap, when she opened her eyes leisurely, she saw Shen Wanyu sitting obediently by the bed.He reached out to rub her legs gently, with a very focused expression on his face.

"came back?"

Shen Wanyu raised her head, and returned the queen mother with a gentle smile: "Well, Cousin Huimin let me come back first if you have something to do. I'm fine, so I came to see you. Seeing that you were frowning when you were sleeping, I pretended to be happy." I proposed to massage your body. I just didn't expect to wake you up."

"Well, this man's body is not as good as it used to be when he is old. Ai's family fell into the water when he was a concubine. Since then, the root cause of the disease has been branded. The older he is, the more he will flare up from time to time."

The Empress Dowager sighed, and stretched out her hand to be supported by Nanny Gui beside her, leaning against the big ginger pillow embroidered with light and green twigs and flowers.

Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Shen Wanyu felt sorry for the old man.Wanting to come to this queen mother's road, how difficult it is for her to walk.She stretched out her hand to hold the Empress Dowager's wrist and checked her pulse.

"I heard from your mother that you have learned medical skills, and it doesn't seem to be bad. Your mother's poison was not even noticed by the Taiyuan Hospital, but you helped her detoxify her. Manrou is as cute and sensible as you are." A capable daughter is her blessing." The queen mother stretched out her hand to rub Shen Wanyu's hair, and sighed, "It's just that I know my body, although I have been taking care of it all these years. After all, it is mentally and physically exhausted. That's why the empress and I wanted to choose the crown princess so early on, and give the Shen family a shelter when I can still hold on."

Shen Wanyu withdrew her hand and bit her lip.Her complexion gradually became solemn, and she looked at the Queen Mother seriously: "My Lady Queen Mother, do you trust Wanyu?"

The queen mother frowned slightly when she saw Shen Wanyu's solemn expression.Feeling vaguely angry and uneasy, she winked at Nanny Gui beside her.

Nanny Gui immediately understood that she pushed back the little maid who was waiting on her side.In the inner room, only Nanny Gui and two confidant palace maids were left.

"Of course Aijia believes in you. There are not many people in this world who Aijia can trust. Here are all Aijia's confidantes. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Shen Wanyu nodded, the Queen Mother was so kind to her.She couldn't just watch her being poisoned: "The Queen Mother's body should have almost recovered under the care of the imperial doctor, but why is her body getting worse every day? Didn't the Queen Mother ever think that the medicine was tampered with? "

When Nanny Gui, who was waiting on the sidelines, couldn't help but change her expression, "Miss Shen, you mean that someone tampered with the Queen Mother's medicine?"

Shen Wanyu nodded, Nanny Gui shook her head after thinking for a while and said, "Impossible, the Queen Mother's confidantes Qiuyu and Nanyu took the medicine and boiled it personally, and no one else did it during this period."

The Empress Dowager's expression was a little dignified. She would never have thought that someone would have the guts to reach out to her.Over the years, she has not cared much about the affairs of the harem in the harem, but she has seen a lot about the affairs of the underworld in the harem.

"Wanyu means that the Ai family has been poisoned, but the poison is not necessarily caused by medicine. The Ai family has been in the harem for so many years, and the methods of harming people are very tricky."

Shen Wanyu glanced around the room, and finally landed on the queen mother: "Wanyu just diagnosed that the queen mother was poisoned, but I'm not sure if she tampered with the medicine."

"Miss Shen, do you know what kind of poison the Empress Dowager has suffered? Do you have a way to detoxify?" Nanny Gui has been with the Empress Dowager for so many years, and she has always been sincere.

"I don't know what kind of poison it is, but judging from the veins. The poison was applied in a very small amount, but it has been applied for many years like my mother's. It is hard to get rid of." Shen Wanyu shook her head , She has never seen this kind of poison.But it aroused her desire to challenge, she must get rid of the poison on the Queen Mother.This is not only for herself, but also because the old man really loves her.

Whoever made this Queen Mother was someone she recognized, her whole body was to protect her weaknesses.The person she wants to protect, even the King of Hades, I don't want to rob her.

"Nurse Gui, you don't have to worry about the Ai family. Maybe it's fate, but the most important thing now is to find the person who poisoned him. Such a vicious person cannot be kept in the harem. good but"

The Empress Dowager's gaze darkened, revealing her aloof dignity.It makes people feel that they dare not look directly at them. This is the aura of the superior.

The queen mother didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant in the following words.Shen Wanyu suddenly stood up and knelt down on the ground.

"Empress Dowager, Wanyu will do my best to cure the poison on your body. If I can't, I will personally invite my master ghost doctor to come. Wanyu, I will definitely not let the queen mother have trouble."

Shen Wanyu's eye sockets turned slightly red, she is still not very specialized in the poison here.It seems that it is necessary for her to arrest her irresponsible and cheap master, and do her duty as a master.

The queen mother looked at Shen Wanyu who was kneeling on the ground with some surprise. She did not expect that this little girl would fall into the eyes of that mysterious ghost doctor with weird temperament.If the ghost doctor can really be invited to help, there may still be hope for the poison on her body.

As long as this person has hope of living, who would want to die?

"Then Aijia's body will be handed over to you, Aijia trusts you." The queen mother asked Nanny Gui to help Shen Wanyu up, let her sit beside her and patted her hand.

"Queen Mother, what you have to do now is to relax. If this person's mentality recovers, he will be fine from any illness." Shen Wanyu sat beside the Queen Mother, looking at her with a smile.

"You girl, you just have the ability to make the Ai family happy. It's not in vain that the Ai family spoils you."

The Empress Dowager's mood also improved. She has lived in this harem all her life and has already taken care of everything.

"The Empress Dowager."

Eunuch Qian's high-pitched voice came from inside and outside, with cautious inquiries in his voice.

Nanny Gui hurried out of the inner room, and came in hastily after a while.With a happy smile on his face, he walked quickly to the queen mother's side.

"Empress Dowager, it's Prince Han who came to visit you. Right now, you are waiting outside the hall."

Shen Wanyu could clearly feel the change in the Empress Dowager's expression, the joy from the bottom of her heart made her a little puzzled.Even if the crown prince came, the queen mother was never so happy.This monstrous persimmon is really unpopular, but why did he come into the palace today?

Thinking of seeing him later, she actually had a faint expectation in her heart.

"Hurry up, how can I let Han'er wait outside. Please invite someone in quickly."
