Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 50
As soon as the Queen's words came out, everyone could see her preference.Shen Linghan is talented but also has auspiciousness, that is to say, Shen Ninghua has no other advantages besides being good-looking, and a woman's good looks are not a good reputation.

Bailiqing glanced indifferently, but didn't speak.The queen smiled slightly: "Linghan, come to this palace to take a look."

The excitement in Shen Linghan's eyes could not be suppressed, she took two deep breaths before getting up, walked lightly to the center of the hall, and bowed gracefully: "My daughter Shen Linghan has seen the emperor and the empress."

"What a lovely person that makes people feel distressed. I heard that your brother is back?"

Shen Xuanye stood up and stood side by side with Shen Linghan after saluting.

Seeing the two people nodding with smiles on their faces, the queen turned to Baili Qingcang and said, "Your Majesty, look at the two people who look very similar. Mrs. Zhao is really blessed."

Bailiqing said faintly: "Not bad."

"Isn't that right? These twins are rare, let alone dragon and phoenix twins. As soon as I saw Linghan, I felt very close to him. Shen Xuanye is a man, and it's not convenient for me to reward him. I can only give something to Shen Linghan." Mei Xue, send this pair of bracelets to Shen Linghan."

Shen Linghan hurriedly knelt down to thank her, she couldn't stop being excited, with the queen's closeness, and the emperor's words are good, who can beat her in the limelight?Shen Dong will definitely release her and her mother from the ancestral hall, and after that, she will have the capital to suppress Shen Ninghua!

"Thank you Queen Empress."

"En." The queen responded, and turned her eyes slightly to the emperor who was beside her.

Baili Qingcang waved his hand to let the servant on the side come over and say a few words.

"Shen Xuanye, the eldest son of the Shen family, is very talented. I am very relieved. I specially reward the four treasures of the study and a hundred taels of gold as a token of appreciation. I hope that everyone will use this as an example to serve the country."

Shen Dong stood up with an excited expression: "My humble minister thanked the emperor on behalf of the dog."

However, Shen Ninghua knew that Zhao and Shen Linghan would never be imprisoned in the ancestral hall if the empress praised the Shen family in this way.

"En." Baili Qingcang seemed not very interested, and looked at the people below casually.

The courtiers below couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, so they could only continue drinking in anxiety, but the queen who had achieved her goal was very satisfied, and communicated with a few close wives.

Naturally, this kind of banquet cannot do without some outstanding disciples who came forward to perform. The third prince and the fourth prince came forward together and presented a sword dance, which won the praise of the surrounding people.Baili Qingcang also rewarded two sabers, and the two immediately beamed with joy.

At this time, who knows who gave a sigh of admiration: "The sword dance presented by the eldest son of the Shen family at Mrs. Xiao's birthday banquet is also wonderful."

The third prince was a little displeased: "Shen Xuanye, are you also good at sword dancing? Just now, my father praised you for being brilliant, but I didn't expect you to be both civil and military. If so, why don't you show it to your father?"

Shen Xuanye's brows twitched: "Reporting to the third prince, I am not good at martial arts, so I dare not show my ugliness."

Chu Junyi raised his head and looked at him: "Mr. Shen is too modest. The third prince has never heard of it. On the day of the birthday banquet, Mr. Shen danced with a sword, and someone threw flying flowers towards him. The sword light overflowed and flew all over the sky, and finally the petals fell to the ground It also formed a longevity character, which is simply amazing, and many people who went to the banquet at that time were stunned."

The third prince's complexion became more and more unconvinced, and he was quite dissatisfied: "Why doesn't Mr. Shen put on a show?"

Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi looked at each other, a slight smile flashed in their eyes, the third prince was the most impulsive and competitive.Because his mother and concubine are in the position of noble concubine, he has a high status in the palace because his mother is more expensive than his mother.No matter whether Shen Xuanye would step forward to dance the sword or not, this episode must have offended the Third Prince.

Shen Xuanye also thought of this, and immediately stood up and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, slave..."

Baili Qingcang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you are proficient in martial arts or not. The princes learn martial arts to hone their will. As long as they have the people, family and country in their hearts, I will use them even if they have no strength to restrain a chicken."

"The emperor is wise." Everyone praised in unison.

"I'm tired, so I'll go back to rest first, the queen will come with me, and the prince will entertain all the ministers on my behalf."

Baili Jinyi, who was dressed as a prince, quickly agreed: "Yes, father."

The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there are many female family members at the banquet. The season is just right now. Not far from Wan'an Pavilion is the Imperial Garden, so there is no need to be restrained. How about letting the ladies of each family play by themselves? The palace has not been like this for a long time. It's been fun."

"Yes, Not Bad."

"The emperor, the empress, drive!"

As soon as the two left, everyone's emotions relaxed.Shen Xuanye sat back in his seat with a normal expression, but Shen Ninghua was keenly aware of his resentment.He got up just now to show off his talents in front of the emperor, but it's a pity that Baili Qingcang didn't give him this opportunity at all, not only that, judging from what he said just now, it seemed a bit dismissive of Shen Xuanye.Thinking of this, Shen Ninghua almost laughed out loud.

Relying on his status as Master Chen's disciple, Shen Xuanye walked who knows how many steps faster than others, but today he miscalculated.

The queen let go, and many ladies got up and walked towards the imperial garden.Shen Linghan held Shen Ninghua's hand, and said softly: "Eldest sister, the view of the imperial garden should be very beautiful, let's go and see it too, it's rare to have the opportunity to enter the palace."

Shen Ninghua swept across the wrist she was holding, and said with a smile: "Okay, then go and have a look."

Zhao Ruyun walked over with a frown, and pulled Shen Linghan behind her: "Linghan, you are still so soft-hearted, you want to be a good sister, but unfortunately others may not be a good sister, you should pay attention to it, so as not to be caught People figured it out."

"Cousin, Eldest Sister is very kind to me." Shen Linghan showed a slightly pale smile, her brows were slightly frowned, but there was a look of worry, no matter how you looked at it, she looked like she was being bullied and dared not speak out.

"Hmph, the emperor just praised you personally, and the empress also rewarded you, who knows if someone will do something out of jealousy, let's go, I'll take you for a stroll." Zhao Ruyun gave Shen Ninghua a gouged look. , pulled Shen Linghan and walked out.

Chu Junyi came over, looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and said with a sigh: "If something happens to these two people, I'm afraid Miss Shen will be in trouble."

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Walking on flat ground will inevitably fall down and break your teeth. It is strange that everything goes smoothly in life. If something happens, it can only prove that I am not careful enough. This is the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. I am afraid that I will make a wrong step. I can't even speak." Don’t dare to say a word, how can I do anything.”

"That's reasonable. The scenery outside is just right. How about inviting Ms. Shen to have a look?"

"it is good."

Baili Jinchuan turned his head and asked Shen Xuanhua behind him: "Is your elder sister on good terms with Mr. Chu?"

Shen Xuanhua looked at the figures of the two people leaving at the entrance of the main hall, feeling a little strange: "Eldest sister values ​​rules, and usually stays at her own house in Shen's house and can't come out." How could she have a good relationship with a foreigner?
Baili Jinchuan paused with his fingers, and involuntarily raised the corners of his lips. Shen Ninghua values ​​rules the most?She defrauded herself of 5000 taels of gold, which would cost 9 to [-] taels of silver.This is something a well-behaved person can do.

Shen Xuanhua couldn't help frowning, and saluted the second prince: "Your Highness, I'll go and see my elder sister, she is the kindest, she might be bullied at some point."

Baili Jinchuan was choked: "...you... go." Shen Xuanhua walked out of the palace quickly, and he also stood up. It's meaningless to have this banquet over and over again, he might as well go and see how Shen Ninghua was "bullied" Woolen cloth.

Just now when I walked to the Imperial Garden, I didn't see Shen Xuanhua who was chasing after me, but I saw Shen Ninghua sitting by the railing beside the waterside pavilion. She was resting one hand on her face, revealing a wrist as white as snow, as if blown by the breeze. Feeling comfortable, those bright black eyes are narrowing slightly, like a cat curled up comfortably in the sun, making people feel itchy, and can't help but step forward to provoke her to see her revealing The tip of the claw is fine.

There was a little more love in his heart, Baili Jinchuan stepped forward, but Shen Linghan came to Shen Ninghua first.

Baili Jinchuan couldn't help but feel lost when he saw her suddenly retracting her expression and turning back into that gentle and smiling girl again.

"Sister, why are you sitting here? We just saw that a pavilion was built on the rockery over there, and we were thinking of going up to sit together. You can go with us too. My cousin said that you can sit on the pavilion." I saw most of the palace."

Shen Ninghua looked up at her, the relaxation just now made her not want to get entangled with Shen Linghan now, and said impatiently: "Sister, have you forgotten what grandma said? Don't run around in the palace."

"Sister, I know, it's just that many people have gone, don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Okay, then go and have a look." Shen Ninghua glanced at her, nodded and agreed, since she was so persistent, then she would have a look at what kind of medicine was sold in Shen Linghan's gourd.

Shen Linghan immediately went to talk to Zhao Rujun happily, and they walked towards the rockery supporting each other.

Baili Jinchuan looked around but didn't see Chu Junyi, he was a little puzzled: "Miss Shen, why are you here alone?"

Shen Ninghua smiled: "I have seen the county prince."

Baili Jinchuan smiled: "I would also like to thank Ms. Shen, and I will have a banquet for Ms. Shen some other day."

"If you thank me, it would be better to give me some money." Shen Ninghua said as he walked up the rockery.

Baili Jinchuan followed her footsteps: "I thought that Miss Shen didn't like those vulgar things."

"Hehe, you're wrong. I'm an ordinary person, so naturally I like ordinary things the most. If you give me a few 10 taels, I will send it to you if I think of a good way in the future."

"What's so difficult about this? If the eldest lady has the heart, let alone a few 10 taels, even the prince's mansion can easily get it." Baili Jinchuan looked at her with a smile, his eyes slightly focused.

Shen Ninghua's heart skipped a beat: "The second prince was joking, I don't have such big ambitions, I would like to get some money and choose a place with beautiful scenery to live peacefully."

Baili Jinchuan smiled and said nothing, as if it was just an unintentional remark.

However, Shen Ninghua was not at peace, and gradually thought a little more.

The pavilion on the top of the mountain was extraordinarily wide. Shen Ninghua took a slight breath and looked into the distance. He could see half of the imperial palace in his eyes, which really made one's heart open.

Shen Linghan seemed a little excited when she saw something, she turned around and pulled Shen Ninghua forward: "Eldest sister, come and have a look, over there, over there."

Shen Ninghua was unprepared, she was pulled to the edge of the pavilion to stand, wanted to turn around and retreat, but found that Zhao Rujun was already standing on her other side: "What's so interesting here?"

Shen Linghan approached her suddenly, with hatred in her deep voice: "This is where you are buried, so you don't want to take a good look."

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes abruptly, a stern look flashed in her eyes, before she could make any movement, she felt the ground under her feet shake, and when she came back to her senses, her feet were already empty.A burst of thrust came from behind, and she fell towards the mountain without waiting for her to shout.

Shen Linghan screamed: "Sister!"
