in the sound of swallows

Chapter 130 It's Colorful
Gu Chaobei looked at her with chopsticks, dumbfounded.

Confused?He just ate a few mouthfuls of shrimp, so it's so mushy?
Shen Guiyan sat down very calmly, holding up her chopsticks to eat quietly.Emperor Liu stood beside him with a look of being struck by lightning, unable to recover for a long time.

After eating without words, Gu Chaobei carried Shen Guiyan into the courtyard of Xiuzhuang Palace, raised his finger to the sky and said, "Yan'er, is the moon round in the sky?"

"Yuan." Shen Guiyan didn't lift her head.

"Are the stars in the distance bright?"

"Bright"

What you say is what you say, Shen Guiyan stared at the corner of her skirt in a daze, and opened her mouth to deal with it.

"You're mad at me, aren't you?"

"Yes."

The mouth should be fast, there is a trap ahead, and Shen Guiyan fell into it with a slap.

Gu Chaobei looked stunned, hugged her and said with a smile: "You are unhappy, why don't you tell me?"

I, the one and only person in the world, is high above the sky, with the world in mind.Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth.In the past, there might have been people talking about it in Gu's mansion, but now in this inner courtyard of the deep palace, what else is there to say?

Can she tell this person directly that she doesn't like her name being listed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and needs to see his mood before seeing him?Or can she tell him that she doesn't want to see so many people around him, eating with her like a wolf that divides meat, or the kind that might stain the meat with a mouth full of saliva?

If she was more self-willed, she could speak out directly.Maybe Gu Chaobei would be happy, thinking that she cared about him.

But after that?He is the emperor, it is impossible that there is only one person left in the Sixth Court of Sangong.Then she will always mention it again in the future, and when he mentions it again, he will not feel happy and will hate her.

At the thought of being loathed by Gu Chaobei, Shen Guiyan's heart shrank in pain, she pursed her lips tightly, and her face turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chaobei frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Well, I have a headache." Shen Guiyan said: "I want to go back and rest, the wind here is a bit cold."

Gu Chaobei slapped himself, forgetting that Yan'er was still pregnant, he actually took her out to have a shower.

Hurrying to take the person back, the doubts in my heart were swallowed in my stomach.

I remember that a long time ago, Gu Chaobei was angry because of Shen Guiyan's indifference, and felt that she didn't have much affection for him.But later Gu Chaobei understood that Yan'er just took a more open view, she was a virtuous and good wife.

So he didn't expect Shen Guiyan to be angry because of that list.

Getting off the bed and going to sleep, Shen Guiyan didn't say anything to Gu Chaobei.Just snuggled up to him gently.Gu Chaobei put his hands on her stomach and touched her stomach curiously for a long time, and felt it for a long time before gradually falling asleep.

The imperial decree to seal the concubine came down the next day. Xiuzhuang Palace was once stained with blood, and Gu Chaobei bestowed Shen Guiyan on Yonghe Palace.

The Yonghe Palace is not far from the emperor's bedroom, and the palace is magnificent, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is also a good place to raise a baby.Shen Guiyan won the title of noble concubine, and for a while, people in the palace looked sideways.Before the palace was tidied up, a large group of people came.

Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi didn't mind, when Concubine Shen came, Shen Guiyan took a double look at her.

Shen Hanlu seemed to have really been completely reborn, with a submissive face, seeing her, her eyes no longer had the stern look before, but were as soft as moonlight: "The concubine pays homage to the concubine."

"Get up." Shen Guiyan looked around, and she followed seven or eight concubines at least.

With some headaches, she asked the precious fan to give her a seat, Shen Guiyan looked at them and said, "You don't need to come here so early, the things in this palace haven't been packed yet."

"The manpower in the empress palace has not been allocated yet, the concubine and the concubine Hua are here to help." Concubine Xi said with a smile: "They are not too expensive people, it is okay to help the empress clean up."

After saying that, he stood up, grabbed his sleeves and planned to do it.

Concubine Xi has such a straightforward and impulsive personality, born in a drunken woman, and has no dignity in her heart.The newly promoted concubine next to her was dissatisfied, and even looked at her with contempt.

They are all concubines, who wants to be a court lady?Isn't it embarrassing?
"Concubines are clumsy, don't touch things in the imperial concubine's palace." An embarrassing palace concubine next to her said: "The concubine Xi has good intentions, but let the palace servants come?"

Concubine Xi gave her a displeased look: "Who are you?"

Fu Youyi's face blushed when she was asked this question. She hadn't shown her face much, so it's normal that people don't know her.But this Concubine Xi really has no rules, and she doesn't save anyone any face, so she just asked in court.

"Concubine Fu Youyi, the granddaughter of the Fu family, is a noble person in Hehuan Palace."

Shen Guiyan was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to look at her.Fu family, Fu Xueshi's family?
Concubine Xi said flatly: "Didn't everyone say that the rules in the palace are strict, the people above talk and those below are not allowed to interrupt?"

"Concubine Xi." Concubine Hua frowned at the side, and looked at her hand.

"What's the matter? Isn't that right?" Concubine Xi turned to look at Concubine Hua: "Isn't the only concubine in this palace who is older than us?"

With no restraint in her mouth and no city in her heart, Shen Guiyan sighed. If the concubine Xi wants to survive in this palace, she needs to help a little more.

"Okay, stop arguing." Shen Guiyan said: "Didn't you all bring your palace attendants? Just lend your attendants to the palace. There are seven or eight palace maids here, too busy. .”

Let the palace maids help, everyone naturally has no objections.Shen Hanlu turned her head and told Xiuping behind her: "Be careful, don't be a disservice."

"Yes." Xiuping agreed, and together with the maids of other palaces, went to the treasure fan to help.

A group of luxuriously dressed women chatted in the lobby.

"Today is the first time to greet everyone, and there are many new faces in the palace, so it's good to get to know each other." Shen Guiyan looked to the side and said, "Come here."

A few new concubines stepped forward, and Fu Youyi was the first one, saluting very politely: "Concubine Hehuan Palace Fu."

The woman next to her followed and said, "Concubine Feiyan Gong Ye."

Shen Guiyan looked at them one by one, and nodded accordingly.These two are more eye-catching than the others, and she has no impression of the rest of them.

until the last one.

"Concubine, Gao family of Yeting Palace."

Shen Guiyan was startled, looked at her for a while, and called out uncertainly: "Jinxiu?"

Gao Shi raised her head, her face was round and gentle, she could not be Gao Jinxiu, the prostitute daughter of Gao Shilang's family.

Shen Guiyan was in a very complicated mood. When she was young, she and Gao Jinxiu exchanged handkerchiefs. Later, Wu Shi also helped her with the dowry and treated her very well.

Unexpectedly, she also entered the palace.

Gao Jinxiu glanced at the people on both sides in a panic, then lowered her head.Shen Guiyan came back to her senses, only to realize that she had been staring at her for too long, she quickly smiled and said: "I never thought we would meet again now, go back and sit down first, we can chat when you are free."

"Yes." Gao Jinxiu obediently retreated to the side, and the two talents next to her hurriedly pulled her and whispered, "You actually know the imperial concubine? But you are well-developed!"

Gao Jinxiu shook her head and sighed, she knew that Yan'er had entered the palace, so she didn't want to compete with her this time.But... alas.

Shen Guiyan settled down, and was about to say a few words in the scene, but there was an "ah" from behind.

It sounds like an embroidery screen.

Concubine Shen became nervous, she stood up and looked behind her: "Xiu Ping, did you cause trouble?"

Baoshan stood up with an apologetic face and said: "I didn't know there was tea in the teapot just now, but I accidentally spilled it into the sleeve of Xiuping. Please forgive me for disturbing all the masters."

Shen Guiyan glanced at Shen Hanlu, and said, "It's okay, you can continue to tidy up, Concubine Shen doesn't have to be too nervous."

Shen Hanlu sat down uneasy, glanced pitifully at Shen Guiyan several times, pursed her lips and said, "In the past, my concubines and concubines often had feuds, but now my concubines just want to live in the harem with peace of mind, and don't want to cause trouble anymore , so I'm afraid that the empress will misunderstand..."

Care for the aged?Shen Guiyan smiled, she believed that she was stupid, she had seen all of Shen Hanlu's tricks, if she hadn't just come out of the cold palace, and had always been obedient, without revealing her secrets, Shen Guiyan would have wanted to report it a long time ago The emperor sent her out of the palace.

This appearance is really pitiful. Looking carefully, there seems to be a wound on the corner of the mouth that has just healed.Shen Hanlu didn't know what she was doing in the cold palace, and Shen Guiyan was suddenly curious.

In front of so many people, the two of them naturally couldn't say much.After all the palace people inside had packed up and came out, Shen Guiyan said: "Let's all go back today, I'm tired of cleaning up, and later all the attendants will go to the treasure fan to collect the reward money."

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine." The concubines all got up and saluted, and each took their own people back.When Gao Jinxiu was leaving, Baoshan moved to her ear cleverly: "Your Excellency, I'll come back in the afternoon."

Bao Shan knew that his master had a good relationship with Miss Gao, and it was expected that after meeting today, if the master had something to say, he would pass on the message first.

Gao Shi nodded in response, and walked away lightly.

There was only one Shen Hanlu left in the lobby.

As expected, Shen Guiyan had already brought the melon seeds over, ready to listen to her.

"Imperial concubine." Shen Hanlu lowered her eyes and said, "In the past, the concubines were all young and ignorant. Can the empress give the concubines another chance?"

I threw your mother into the winter pond and picked it up again, then robbed your newlywed husband, and slapped your current husband-in-law with shame, can you give me another chance?

Shen Guiyan sneered in her heart and remained silent.

Shen Hanlu gritted her teeth, knelt down in front of her, and rolled up her sleeves: "Your Majesty, thinks that the punishment I received on this concubine is not enough? If it is not enough, this concubine is willing to take it again."

That hand was full of bruises, marks of whipping, and scars, densely packed, which frightened Shen Guiyan.

"Where did this come from?"

Shen Hanlu smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of place Lenggong is. The concubines go in intact, and they are beaten and bullied almost every day. There are a lot of crazy women in it, and there are also slaves who look down on others. That's not the world, it's hell .”
