Chapter 277 Arrangement
Last time, I ate something wrong and broke out in a rash. Not only did it scare Chen Ji and Yun, but Chen Wan herself was also frightened.
It's okay under normal circumstances, but when you are pregnant, you should be cautious.
If Yun hadn't told her, she wouldn't have entered the palace, and Xie Jingyu and the prince and princess would most likely not have let her go either.
Shen Wan agreed readily, but there is a saying that one cannot help oneself, and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is not something she can refuse to attend if she wants to.
No, the next day, the Queen Mother rewarded Song Nanyan, and the person who came passed on a message to Shen Wan -
The Queen Mother asked Shen Wan to come to the palace to celebrate her birthday tomorrow and wear the crown given by the Emperor. It took a skilled craftsman a year to make it. The Queen Mother wanted to see how stunning it was.
Chen Wan had Princess Shouzhen carried back to the palace and snatched the crown that Princess Shouzhen liked. The palace was Queen Song's territory. Chen Wan was worried that she would be plotted against if she entered the palace, so she couldn't afford to offend her and tried to hide as much as possible.
The crown was so stunning that Chen Wan was afraid of attracting envy and jealousy, so she didn't plan to wear it outside.
As a result, the Empress Dowager not only asked her to come to the palace to celebrate her birthday, but also arranged for her what jewelry to wear.
When the maid delivered the message, Shen Wan was admiring the flowers in the garden. Yin Chuan asked, "Can the Crown Prince's Consort not enter the palace?"
Chen Wan glanced at Yin Chuan and asked, "What do you think?"
Yinchuan looked like a slave and didn't ask any questions.
At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, even the Emperor didn't dare to offend the Empress Dowager, let alone the Crown Prince's Consort.
Chen Wan lost interest in admiring the flowers and returned to Zhaolanxuan. However, just as she reached the gate of the courtyard, a maid came over and said, "Princess, the old lady wants you to go to her place."
Shen Wan was really a little afraid that the old lady would look for her, because nothing good ever happened when she looked for her, and she had to go.
Chen Wan took Yinchuan to Wing Chun Temple again.
Before entering the house, I heard laughter coming from inside.
After Shen Wan came in, the laughter stopped abruptly, as if she had come here specifically to ruin the atmosphere. Why bother looking for her?
Shen Wanfu bowed to the old lady, and the old lady asked, "Can you go to the palace tomorrow to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday?"
She asked this question deliberately even though she knew the Queen Mother wanted her to enter the palace.
Shen Wan said lightly, “The Queen Mother asked me to enter the palace…”
Song Nanyan said, "Sister-in-law is pregnant. If you really don't want to enter the palace, I can talk to the Queen Mother for you."
Song Nanyan actually helped her...
I didn't notice it when I came here just now, but the sun might be rising from the west today.
Chen Wan was afraid of being tricked, so she said cautiously, "How could I not want to go to the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday?"
The old lady picked up the teacup and said, "It's better not to go to the palace if you can, so as to save everyone from worrying, and even Duke Dingguo and his wife from worrying too."
Shen Wan said, “But the Queen Mother wants to see me…”
Xie Zhihuan rolled her eyes inwardly, "Sister-in-law, stop flattering me. The Queen Mother just wants to see the crown the Emperor gave you."
The old lady said, "If you don't come to the palace, it will be the same if Nanyan wears the crown for the Queen Mother to examine."
It turned out that he was waiting for her here.
In the previous life, those people fought fiercely for the crown. In this life, the emperor has already given it to her, but none of them are willing to give up.
She has never worn the crown given to her by the emperor, so what does it mean to let Song Nanyue wear it?
If Song Nanyue accidentally bumped into it while wearing it and it got damaged, she would have nowhere to cry.
Those people would rather die than live in disgrace, and would destroy themselves if they can't get what they want.
Chen Wan said, "One should not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Last time I ate the wrong thing in the palace, it was an accident. I followed my husband, father, mother and concubine to the palace to celebrate the birthday. There is nothing to worry about."
The Second Madam said, "Madam, this is for your own good. Don't act on impulse. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it."
He keeps saying good things about her, but he's trying to disgust her.
Shen Wan looked at the Second Madam, "What could happen if I go to the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday?"
The Second Madam smiled, "It's better to be safe than sorry. If it weren't for this worry, the wife of Duke Dingguo wouldn't have refused to let you enter the palace."
"Forget it. If you insist on entering the palace, I can't stop you."
The old lady put down the teacup in her hand, and Chen Wan left without saying a word.
The feeling of being attacked from both sides is really uncomfortable.
If she doesn't enter the palace, the crown will be given to Song Nanyue, Xie Zhihuan and others to wear. If she really agrees, the crown will be destroyed.
But if she were to enter the palace herself, there was no guarantee that Queen Song and her daughter would not plot against her.
On the way back to Zhaolanxuan, Chen Wan couldn't think of a way to have the best of both worlds, so he could only go to find Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu already knew that the Queen Mother asked Shen Wan to wear the crown to the palace to celebrate her birthday. Shen Wan said depressedly, "The old lady asked me to let the second young lady wear the crown to the palace for the Queen Mother to review, so I don't have to go."
Xie Jingyu held Shen Wan in his arms and said, "It's just a small matter, why are you so angry?"
This is no small matter.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, "What do you think I should do?"
Xie Jingyu said, "If you want to enter the palace, I will protect you."
"If you don't want to enter the palace, I'll send the tiara to the Queen Mother for a look and bring it back to you in perfect condition."
Shen Wan became even more depressed.
Why was the thing that worried her so much a headache just a trivial matter in Xie Jingyu's eyes?
"I will go to the palace with you."
Chen Wan's eyes were firm. She didn't believe that those people would dare to cause trouble at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. If they really dared, they would ruin the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
Since she had decided to go to the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, Shen Wan went back to her room to get busy. The crown was too stunning, and she had to match it with the right skirt, otherwise people would laugh at her for being top-heavy and not knowing how to dress.
When he came out of the study, he saw Shanhu coming over with Qiu'er's support. When Shen Wan saw him, he said, "Your injury hasn't fully healed yet, why don't you stay in the house to recuperate?"
Shanhu said, "I am almost well now. I am worried that Qiu'er will not support me."
After lying in bed for so many days, Shanhu felt like she was about to fall apart. Chen Wan knew it was better for her to walk more, so she didn't let her go back.
After returning to the house, Yinchuan brought out seven or eight dresses for Chen Wan to choose from. She did nothing else the entire afternoon but pick out clothes.
After much difficulty, they finally chose a set, and then Yinchuan said a word, and Chen Wan was busy again for a long time.
Yin Chuan asked, "What kind of brocade robe is the prince wearing?"
When the Crown Prince's wife sits with the Crown Prince, she must not overshadow the Crown Prince.
Chen Wan felt that Yinchuan's worries were unnecessary. With Xie Jingyu's face, no one could overshadow him even if he wore rags.
However, since Yinchuan mentioned it, Chen Wan couldn't help but pay attention. She spent half an hour picking out a brocade robe for Xie Jingyu.
How beautifully the two of them dressed up. The next day, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu went to the front yard. On the way, the maid was holding a fruit plate. She was so busy looking at them that she forgot to pay attention to her feet and bumped into the pillar.
The prince and princess were in the front yard. When they saw them, the prince frowned.
The princess praised it highly, "This outfit is really nice."
The prince said, "It's too late. If you don't know, you might think today is their birthday."
Shen Wan, “…”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
They went to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday, not to steal her limelight.
The prince said, "Go change it."
Xie Jingyu said, "It can't be changed. The Queen Mother wants Wan'er to wear the phoenix crown given by the Emperor to the palace to celebrate her birthday. To match the phoenix crown, Wan'er spent the whole afternoon yesterday choosing a dress."
The princess smiled and said, "I think it's very good, and the Queen Mother will also find it pleasing to the eyes."
I hope the Queen Mother will be happy.
