Chapter 5: First Encounter with the Emperor
Concubine Wan had a faint smile on her lips and said, "If you want to curry favor with me, you have to see if you are worthy of me."
The words are sharp, merciless and to the point.
Lady Shen's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and she looked up at Concubine Wan uncontrollably, but soon lowered her head again.
"I...I don't have..."
Concubine Wan waved her hand impatiently.
The palace maid beside him raised her hand in understanding: "Lift the sedan chair and return to the palace."
The smile on Lady Shen's face disappeared, and her hands clenched in her sleeves.
After all, she was the Shangshu's legitimate daughter and a princess personally conferred by the late emperor. When had she ever been insulted like this?
Wen Wanyu just smiled after hearing it.
This can only be said that Concubine Shen is too stupid. She thinks that by insulting Concubine Yang, she can naturally enter the Wan Concubine camp. Concubine Wan and Concubine Yang are sisters, and their relationship is not good.
But it can also be considered as sharing honor and disgrace!
Passing by Lady Shen, Wen Wanyu, who was a talented woman, needed to greet her and bow slightly.
Cheng Shuyi is a concubine, and Lady Shen needs to pay her respects to Cheng Shuyi. Lady Shen bows slightly to Cheng Shuyi.
Wen Wanyu got up and left.
When he thought about the embarrassing scene just now, it was very likely that she had seen it and was watched by a talented person.
Lady Shen's brows furrowed in anger. She stopped her and said harshly, "Wen Cairen hasn't left yet? Did she stay there on purpose?"
The implication was: I stayed there on purpose to laugh at her.
Wen Wanyu just felt a headache. She couldn't leave even if she wanted to. Concubine Wan was still in front of her. Could she just leave?
There were many people watching him curry favor with Concubine Wan in public.
It's funny, she's not the only one here.
Cheng Shuyi spoke first: "Miss Shen is worrying too much. Miss Wen was talking to me just now and didn't notice what just happened."
Since Cheng Shuyi had already explained, Lady Shen could no longer pursue the matter further.
She only said, "Yes. I was worrying too much."
Lady Shen watched the two of them leave.
I thought: How can they be so close? She has only been in the palace for less than five days.
A talented person has already found an "ally", and she cannot be left behind.
Dongmei, the maid beside her, spoke up for her and brought Lady Shen back to her senses.
"Concubine Wan is too arrogant. When has my beauty ever suffered such an injustice? It's hard for my beauty to vent her anger on her behalf."
Lady Shen gritted her teeth, her expression full of disdain that could not be concealed.
It was still uncertain who would win or lose. Anyway, she must not lose.
"Concubine Zhengui is in Fuyao Palace? I heard the Second Prince is ill?"
"Yes, my lord."
"First go back and get the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, then go to Fuyao Palace to visit the Second Prince."
…………
The pear blossom season has long passed, so almost no one enters the pear orchard at this time.
Cheng Shuyi and Wen Wanyu both like quietness and don't feel the desolation of the Pear Garden at this time.
Feel more at ease.
The two chatted for a while.
Talking about what happened just now, Wen Wanyu paused and said: "Miss Shen is quite interesting."
High EQ: This person is quite interesting. Low EQ: This person is really stupid.
Cheng Shuyi couldn't help but burst out laughing, then she covered her mouth belatedly. Seeing that the palace maids were all three meters away, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her personality in the palace is that of a gentle and generous little beauty.
The smile just now almost destroyed her personality.
Cheng Shuyi propped up his head and said, "Actually, after being in the palace for a long time, you will find that the IQ of the people in the palace is really..."
Wen Wanyu took over and complained mercilessly: "Polarization."
“And it’s very polarized.”
Cheng Shuyi smiled and said, "That's what I said, but you're too straightforward."
"Do you think you are smart or stupid?"
"Is that so?"
The breeze lifted the strands of hair by her ear, and Wen Wanyu tucked them behind her ear and said shyly: "I think I'm quite smart. Don't you think so?"
Hearing this answer, the man standing on the pavilion chuckled, his gaze fixed on Wen Wanyu without moving.
She has extremely beautiful eyes, her eyes are clear and sparkling with light with just a blink.
Cheng Shuyi uttered an "eh," with a look of disdain in her eyes. "You're quite clever. When you were thirteen, you ate frozen watermelon and had diarrhea. Just as you were feeling better, you ate frozen pears the next day. Everyone thought you'd learned your lesson. But on the third day, you ate frozen grapes again. Even the doctor was speechless."
The man laughed muffledly.
Wen Wanyu coughed awkwardly: "What do you know? I just want my body to know who its master is."
Cheng Shuyi: “…”
Wen Wanyu turned sideways, and the man could see her appearance clearly.
Her pupils were round and bright, with the corners of her eyes slightly raised. Her eyes looked like glass immersed in ice and snow, clear and cool.
Her hair is like clouds, her skin is white and her lips are red.
She was wearing pink gauze, and from his angle, he could see her slender and fair neck, and her skin that looked vaguely like jade.
The red lips are so tempting, is she applying lipstick?
But not like that.
A pair of innocent and clear eyes that make people feel pity.
Wen Wanyu raised her eyes slightly and met his gaze. She raised her eyebrows as if to ask who he was.
Xie Junyao turned around, leaving her with his back.
Wen Wanyu also withdrew his gaze.
Her heart was filled with peace as she met His Majesty the Emperor.
He wears a yellow dragon robe, has a cold expression, loves to pretend, and can wander around the palace. You don't have to guess that he is the emperor.
Seeing her staring blankly at one spot, Cheng Shuyi also realized that there were still people who didn't want to work in the opera house, and mouthed to her: "What are you looking at?"
Wen Wanyu also mouthed to her: "Your Majesty, it's upstairs in the pavilion."
Cheng Shuyi was stunned, took her hand and left.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
For some reason, Cheng Shuyi felt a little blocked in his heart.
——Want to hide her.
Xie Junyao turned around again, holding a teacup in his hand, and stared at the two people who fled with interest.
He took a sip of tea and said, "That's Concubine Cheng. Who's next to Concubine Cheng?"
"Your Majesty, the person next to Concubine Cheng is Concubine Wen, who has just entered the palace."
"Wen Wanyu?"
Li Dexian was surprised: "Yes, Your Majesty, do you remember?"
Xie Junyao smiled but said nothing. During the audition, he saw that she was good-looking and from the Wen family, so he casually asked: What are the two characters in your name?
I thought it was Wanyu, Wanyu, or Wanyu.
But I didn’t expect it to be Wan Yu.
So I asked her what her name meant.
She replied: "Don't say it's too late, the sky is still full of rosy clouds."
Xie Junyao remembered it.
Seeing her today, I found her to be interesting, straightforward, and cheerful. She is also a truly beautiful woman.
When the pear blossoms are in full bloom, the pear garden is so lively.
He chose to come during the withering season for some quiet time, but he didn't expect to have an "unexpected gain".
Xie Junyao turned around and said, "Let her sleep with me tonight."
"yes."
He added, "Concubine Cheng and Concubine Wen have a good relationship."
Li Dexian guessed: "Maybe they knew each other before entering the palace."
"...You have to tell me."
This is not something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
