Chapter 83 He Cairen
On the other side, Shen Fu had already escaped.
Chen Fu waited until dark before sneaking back to Hehuan Palace. There was no one along the way, and she only felt relieved when she entered the house.
Today was finally a false alarm.
"Why do you have to be so afraid of her, girl?" Zi Su had been waiting beside him for the entire afternoon and was already feeling hot and thirsty.
After entering the room, he quickly dismissed the people around him, poured a cup of tea for Chen Fu, and then quickly poured a cup for himself.
"Even if Concubine Xiang knows, she can't do anything to you, young lady." Zi Su has followed Chen Fu for many years, and sometimes when she is anxious, she forgets to call her "young lady" and only remembers to call her "young lady".
"Remember, the people you must not offend the most in the harem are villains." Chen Fu raised her head and drank a full cup of cold tea, and then she felt that the heat in her body had subsided a lot.
She raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and found it funny when she thought about Xiang Guipin's appearance today.
With Concubine Xiang's temper, she would take revenge immediately. If she knew that the person in the dragon chariot was herself, combined with what happened before, she would definitely regard her as a thorn in her side.
The reason she hid in the imperial garden for so long was not because she was afraid of offending her.
But if you can hide, hide, not to mention... Chen Fu's hand fell on the teacup and tapped it lightly.
"Who will Xiang Guipin get angry at if she can't find the person in the dragon chariot?"
Zi Su was eating pastries. When she heard this, she stopped eating and her eyes widened: "Shen Qingru?"
"You guessed right." Shen Fu put down the teacup in her hand, turned her head and smiled gently at Zi Su: "Xiang Guipin has the worst temper. As long as I don't reveal the truth, she will definitely find Shen Qingru to vent her anger."
As a result of what happened today, Concubine Xiang not only lost face in front of His Majesty, but was also punished.
I'm afraid Shen Qingru suffered a lot.
******
Chen Fu's guess was correct. The next morning, everyone knew that Changqiu Palace had been looking for a royal physician overnight.
"I heard that Chen Ronghua fell off the bed overnight and broke his arm." Zi Su was thinking about it all night last night, and as soon as she opened her eyes this morning, she hurried to inquire.
Now when talking about Changqiu Palace, he can talk about it in great detail.
"Fall off the bed?" Shen Fu raised her eyebrows, obviously unconvinced.
"How could I break my wrist when I fell off the bed?" Only Xiang Guipin could come up with such a poor excuse.
Or rather, she didn't want to even think about it. Shen Qingru has fallen out of favor now, so she made up an excuse and tried to get away with it.
"Then I don't know." Zi Su now knew all the twists and turns that Shen Qingru had done before. Although she never said it, she hated Shen Qingru to the core for what she had done to the young lady.
"I heard that the injury was very serious. The bones in the wrist were broken. It was tragic." Zi Su looked gloating.
Shen Fu turned her head and glanced at her, and she spit it out, sticking out her tongue and not daring to say anything.
Trouble comes from the mouth. Shen Fu locked Zi Su in the room for an entire afternoon to practice calligraphy.
Among the four arts of calligraphy, painting, chess, and music, Chen Fu is the best at painting besides playing the zither, but her calligraphy is average.
She specially had someone move a desk next to the window for her to practice calligraphy, also to temper Shisu's temper.
The two of them wrote for the entire afternoon and it was almost dark.
People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came three or four times.
Chen Fu is a new concubine entering the palace. His Majesty did not come to the Hehuan Palace yesterday, so according to the rules, he must come today.
Since it was the “first time” that he served the emperor in bed, the people from the Imperial Household Department were busy running up and down many times.
Shen Fu thought of the look on His Majesty's face before he left yesterday, and felt that His Majesty would not come tonight.
But seeing everyone busying around, it was really hard to start talking.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps at the door. The palace maid knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "My lady, what talent is here to see you?"
"Who is this person?" Chen Fu frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who this person was.
"Who is He Cairen?" It's almost dark outside. Why is he coming to pay his respects at this time?
"It's He Cairen who lives in the Hehuan Palace. Seeing that you are free today, I came here to pay my respects to you."
Chen Fu is a beautiful woman, of the fourth rank.
Although he is not the main position of a palace, his status is indeed not low. Since he is only a talented person of the sixth rank, naturally he has to come and pay his respects.
"Didn't Eunuch Kang say that our young lady was the only one in the Hehuan Palace?" Before Chen Fu could speak, Zi Su looked over.
"Why is there another talented person?"
Living in this Hehuan Palace alone is very different from living in it with two people. Where did this talented person He come from now?
Besides, greetings are usually made in the morning. Who would come to pay respects in the evening?
Shen Fu looked at the palace maid thoughtfully: "He Cairen lives here?"
As soon as her voice came out, it immediately sounded gentle and sweet.
The little palace maid knelt on the ground but didn't dare to look up at all.
My little mistress is so beautiful. Even if I just take a quick glance at her from a distance, I will be stunned for a long time.
She raised her eyes and glanced at him gently, then lowered her head again: "He lived here before. He Cairen had been ill for a long time and had been staying in the Hehuan Palace. Because this place is remote and no one has come here for many years, he thought there was no one here."
After the little palace maid said this, she was afraid that Shen Fu would be angry, so she was too ashamed to look up.
Shen Fu's eyes flickered, and she turned to meet Zi Su's gaze.
This Mr. He is quite interesting.
He Cairen had been ill for a long time and had not left her house. She was so low-key that even the Imperial Household Department had forgotten about her. Now that she has just moved here, He Cairen is doing well.
Do you have the energy to come and pay your respects?
Shen Fu placed her palm on the armrest and tapped it twice: “Let her in.”
She had just moved into the Hehuan Palace two days ago. If she was refused, it would probably cause another problem.
"Yes." The little palace maid kowtowed and left immediately after saying this.
After a while, he walked in with a woman. Chen Fu was sitting on a carved mahogany beauty couch. From a distance, one could see that the woman had a slender figure and graceful movements.
When she walks, she is like a willow swaying in the wind, and her every move is as gentle as water.
She is really a sick beauty.
Shen Fu raised her eyebrows, and at this time He Cairen had already walked forward. Her hands are very small, and her face is really as big as a palm.
She glanced at Chen Fu with her watery eyes, and finally bent down and said softly, "I pay my respects to Chen Ronghua."
Chen Fu originally thought that her voice was gentle enough, but when He Cairen's voice came out, she knew what drizzle meant.
This talented man He has a good voice.
"Get up." Chen Fu raised her eyes calmly: "I have never heard of anyone living in Hehuan Palace before, I am sorry for wronging you."
"Thank you, Shen Ronghua. I am not wronged." He Cairen held the hand of the palace maid beside her. After hearing the voice, her body trembled slightly, and then she stood up shakily.
She was wearing a half-worn floral dress with twined flowers, which made her look particularly graceful and charming. At this moment, her movements were gentle and lovely, which was really lovable.
"Ronghua has a high position. Even if I am not feeling well, I have to come and pay my respects to you, sister." He Cairen covered her mouth and coughed twice while speaking.
Seeing this, Shen Fu said, "Help He Cairen to sit down."
Zi Su was smart and immediately stepped forward to serve He Cairen a bowl of Xiu Dun'er.
He Cairen held the hand of the palace maid and sat down, and took the opportunity to look at Chen Fu.
She was selected into the palace two years ago, and her appearance and talent are both top-notch. She had been favored before, and the Emperor loved her very much for a period of time.
Unfortunately, due to his carelessness, he was plotted against and injured within a few days of being favored. Since then, he has been recuperating and has never had the chance to go out again.
There is even no chance to meet His Majesty.
It was not until the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been busy for more than half a month a while ago that she heard that a new master was going to enter the palace.
How many women in the harem are prettier than her?
He Cairen thought she was good-looking. She knew that the Emperor did not come yesterday, so tonight...
If she could see His Majesty.
While thinking about this, He Cairen secretly went to see Chen Fu.
But the moment his eyes met Shen Fu's face, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.
