It was drizzling, and Shen Qing, who had left the car, held a pink and white oil paper umbrella with ink paintings on it, and slowly followed Li Yue to the Imperial Garden where she and the Great Zhou Shang met yesterday.
The female official who greeted her said that the princess wanted to talk to her about the Winter Solstice celebration, but why did she go to the cold, silent and deserted imperial garden instead of Xue Yixuan's palace? Shen Qing became confused. This Xue Yixuan What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Liyue stopped in front, turned around and said expressionlessly, "Madam, please wait here for now, the princess will be here in a moment." After saying this, she coldly withdrew without waiting for Shen Qing to stop her and ask questions. .
There was gloomy cold air all around, and light rain was falling lightly. Shen Qing stood there gloomily. What the hell was Xue Yixuan doing? He asked her to come but asked her to wait! Just as he was depressed, he heard a slight whisper from behind him. The sound of footsteps. Because of the rain, this place was too noisy and too quiet. It was easy to spot the appearance of another person. Shen Qing turned around and saw Xue Yixuan walking over slowly holding an umbrella.
"What did the princess come to me to say?" Shen Qing was too lazy to say polite words. Xue Yixuan had never been polite to her when he harmed her before.
Xue Yixuan walked over without stopping, "Of course it's because of the Winter Solstice celebration. Otherwise, I, the princess, have so many things to do, how would I have time to meet you."
Shen Qing's heart was full of disdain. What's the matter? She's busy with work? She doesn't have time either!
Xue Yixuan looked at the vast lake in the imperial garden from a distance and said loudly: "The Winter Solstice celebration has been held in the East Palace every year. Various singing, dancing and vaudeville performances have been seen many times by the Holy Emperor and the Queen, so I want you to think of a new one this year. Tricks.”
Shen Qing and Zou Mei, didn’t she already know this? Didn’t she come to her specifically just to talk nonsense?
"At the time of the winter solstice, the Empress Dowager has also returned from practicing Buddhism in Xian Mountain. At the beginning of this year, the Empress Dowager, the abbot of the Buddhist temple, said that this year we need to be closer to places with water in order to maintain peace and prosperity in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, The Queen has ordered you to prepare for this year’s Winter Solstice celebration on the inner lake of the Imperial Garden.”
Shen Qing, who was standing silently, was instantly stunned. She was asked to hold a winter solstice celebration on the lake! What kind of bullshit abbot of the Buddhist temple, somewhere near water, could it be that he asked her to train a synchronized swimming team? ?
Seeing her surprised look, Xue Yixuan sneered, "Don't worry, the royal family's celebration is a big event, and I, the princess, will not make it difficult for you."
Xue Yixuan patted his palms lightly as he spoke. Shen Qing felt that the ground of the Imperial Garden suddenly shook slightly. The lake water was murmuring rapidly. The lake water slowly dropped a little. In the center of the inner lake, a piece of land ten meters higher than the lake surface suddenly appeared. Centimeter bluestone disc, and after closer inspection, there is a road not far away from the lake that leads directly to the bluestone disc.
"My princess has kindly given you some advice. The program can be prepared directly there."
Shen Qing turned to look at Xue Yixuan. First, he praised her desperately in front of the Holy Emperor, and now he asked her to prepare for the celebration on the inner lake. All her behaviors were very strange and abnormal. She would rather this woman had blatantly evil intentions than hear these kind intentions. If you would like to mention something.
"I already know about the celebration. If the princess has nothing else to do, I will leave." Shen Qing didn't want to stay with Xue Yixuan any longer, and was going to go to the palace where the emperor sent her to organize the celebration first.
As soon as I turned around, I heard the person behind me say coldly, "Stop!"
Shen Qing turned back indifferently, "Princess, is there anything else you want to say?"
Looking at Shen Qingluo who was cold and disdainful towards her, Xue Yixuan snorted and said, "It's really ridiculous. You are so arrogant just because you are so important to me!"
Shen Qing raised her eyes fearlessly and looked at her, "Princess Xue, you don't need me to list all the things you did to me in the past. You know it in your heart. I don't know the meaning of your every move. I don't know.
I don’t have time to be arrogant with you.”
"You don't know? Your ability to seduce men is beyond the reach of all women in the world." Xue Yixuan said loudly.
Shen Qing was tepid, "I know what you want to say. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you like the Sixth Prince very much, but I can tell you frankly that not all women want to be the emperor's concubine, at least I
Not interested."
Xue Yixuan laughed instantly, but his smile was extremely cold, "The high-sounding words are really nice to hear. Do you think I, the princess, will believe it if you say it so clearly?"
"Since you don't believe it, then we have nothing to talk about. I haven't done anything. It's useless no matter how hard you try to make things difficult for me. Whether it's true or not, you will naturally know after time." Shen Qing didn't want to get entangled with her like this.
It's a useless question, and I'm already starting to want to get out as soon as possible.
Xue Yixuan took two steps forward aggressively, "If you hadn't seduced the Sixth Master, how could he care so much about you? Shen Qingluo, there is no one else here, don't shamelessly pretend to be pure in front of this princess!"
"When did he care about me?" Shen Qing was confused. What did Xue Yixuan misunderstand? She and Fu Yanche were just ordinary friends at best!
"Why do you think Ji Liansi got the favor of the Sixth Prince? She is just your substitute. If it weren't for you, how could the Sixth Master bring her back?"
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, Lian Si... was her substitute?
"Ji Liansi tried to climb the dragon and the phoenix. She knew everything, so she used you to get close to the sixth prince and climbed onto his bed to gain his favor. Shen Qingluo, how does it feel to be taken advantage of?" Xue Yixuan's eyes were cold, and there was no sympathy.
Sisters, in her opinion, you are just a pair of shameless and charming bitches. She wants to see for herself how deeply in love these so-called sisters really are!
When the drizzle stopped, Shen Qing walked unconsciously to the place where she rested in the palace. She didn't know whether Xue Yixuan's words were true or false, but if they were all true, when did Fu Yanche start caring about her? He wasn't even sincere.
People who don’t understand? How can you start to really care about someone?
And Lian Si... Shen Qing vaguely remembered what Lian Si had said to her that day in the tent. It didn't matter whether he liked me or not.
At that time, she felt that Lian Si really liked the sixth prince, so she rushed to devote herself to him like a moth to the flame. Now she was a little confused again. She was not the Shen Qingluo she used to be. Her friendship with Ji Liansi was not that deep, but she really
Could it be this kind of person?
Shen Qing was walking slowly, and suddenly a familiar voice came from in front of her, "Qingluo."
Shen Qing looked up and saw Ji Liansi at the door of the palace courtyard where she rested, holding a closed umbrella in her hand. It seemed that she had been waiting for a long time. When she saw her coming, she ran over with a gentle smile and a small step.
"I knew you would come over today, so I came here specifically to meet you. I waited and waited and you didn't show up. I almost wanted to go back just now."
Ji Liansi seemed very happy to see her, and kept talking to her. Shen Qing had not yet recovered from what he was thinking, and responded with a smile, "I was delayed by something on the way. I will come to the palace these days. If you
If you want to see me, just ask Eunuch Legend to tell me. Why are you standing in the rain waiting for me in such a cold weather?"
"Actually," Ji Liansi lowered his head slightly and hesitantly said the main purpose of looking for her, "Qingluo, do you remember that that day you said that if I was in danger, I could come to you for discussion? I came... I hope you can help me.
