Chapter 322 Happy Little Carriage
The next day, when Chen Heng just came out of her jewelry shop, she saw carriages heading towards the palace.
Many people came to watch the fun.
"These are beauties selected by noble families from all over the country for the emperor. Some of them are even legitimate daughters of noble families." The people began to discuss.
"Don't the noble families in our imperial city also send their daughters to the palace?"
For a while, there was a lot of discussion.
Chen Heng smiled as she watched the carriages gradually disappear from her sight. She couldn't help but sigh that her era was coming to an end. Did she ever have her own era?
Heading towards the era of white, rich and beautiful women?
Come to think of it, it seems like I have spent more than ten years in an ordinary way. It is obvious to the naked eye that the future will remain just as ordinary and extraordinary.
Among these beauties who have entered the palace, there may be one who will become a favorite concubine in the future, and have a wonderful life.
But it has nothing to do with her anymore.
I heard the people beside me say: "The emperor already has a concubine named Yun, who is said to be from Yuezhou. So the next concubine will definitely be a beauty from our imperial capital."
"Why?"
"Needless to say, the Emperor must live in harmony with the noble families here."
Chen Heng nodded after hearing this. It made sense. The harem was also a small court. For the sake of the Heng family, the emperor had to nourish his kidneys more every day.
What Chen Heng didn't expect was that she ran into Chen Yuan as soon as she entered the mansion. He must have been waiting for her for a while, so his carriage stopped by the side and he got off when he saw her.
The gentle and refreshing young man has become mature and steady. He is still thin, but there is a bit more worldly precipitation in his black eyes. His every move and gesture shows that he is an official.
"Second sister."
"Chen Yuan?" Seeing a friend and brother she hadn't seen in years, Chen Heng was delighted. "When did you come? Why didn't you come into the mansion?"
"The guard at the gate said you're out, so it's no different if I wait outside." The excitement of reunion in his second sister's eyes warmed Chen Yuan's heart. Over the years, he had cut off all his relatives, except for his second sister, with whom he occasionally exchanged letters, and she was even closer to his second brother-in-law.
"Come in quickly."
Shen Heng brought Shen Yuan into the mansion and asked the servants to bring up the best tea and snacks. Then she asked, "Why are you alone? Where is your wife? Where are the children?" She knew that Shen Yuan had two daughters.
"They're still in Yuezhou and won't be coming to Beijing until next month." Chen Yuan smiled, a rare moment. "I wanted to come see my second sister earlier, but I was too busy and got delayed."
"It's okay. Official business is more important." If it was two days later, I might never see him again in this life.
"Second sister, I heard from my mother's side that my father is seriously ill."
Chen Heng looked at him for a moment, then said softly, "Do you want to see him?"
"He is my father after all. What about you, second sister?"
Shen Heng thought about it. She had no feelings for the Shen family. Call her heartless or selfish. If she continued to visit Shen's father, it would only make her situation more difficult. "Since I have severed my relationship with the Shen family, everything is no longer relevant to me."
