I didn't become a princess today

Chapter 217
Shen Yuan has not entered the palace for a long time, Wei Li has already stepped into the court, and she does not want to involve Shen Yuan in many things, now Shen Yuan only needs to help Wei Li keep an eye on the movements outside the palace.

The maid took Shen Yuan all the way to Weiyang Palace, which was the bedroom of Queen Qin.

Shen Yuan didn't have a deep impression of Queen Qin, and she didn't meet her many times.

Empress Qin is the daughter of Grand Master Qin. When Emperor Yun Jing was young, everyone thought he would make Concubine Mi as his queen, but in the end he chose the daughter of the Qin family.Empress Qin is Wei Sheng's biological mother and Qin Ningxiang's aunt.

Shen Yuan thought about it in her heart, and followed the maid into the hall.

Empress Qin was dressed in a red gold phoenix robe, nearly forty years old but well maintained, still beautiful and noble.With a pair of beautiful eyes, she looked like a mother in the world, she looked at Shen Yuan who walked into the hall.

With this appearance, it's no wonder that A Yan is so devoted to her.Even Empress Qin, who had seen countless beauties in the palace, had to admit that Shen Yuan was indeed stunning, her facial features were delicate and beautiful, and her gestures were full of dignity, which would not make people think that she was too arrogant, but also made people feel uncomfortable. ignore.

The last time I saw Shen Yuan was when I was welcoming the envoys from Southern Xinjiang. At that time, Shen Yuan followed Xiao Nanshan like a budding flower.And the current Shen Yuan is a peony in full bloom, which makes people fall in love with each other.

"My daughter, Shen Yuan, has met the empress." Shen Yuan knelt down and saluted, not wanting to let Empress Qin take advantage of the small trick to embarrass herself.

"Raise your head and let me take a look."

Shen Yuan smiled and looked at Queen Qin, like a young girl who didn't know much about the world.

Empress Qin examined her for a while, remembering that Wei Sheng told her to be careful about Shen Yuan, she couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.On the surface, except for a good skin, there is nothing special about Shen Yuan.

"Get up." Queen Qin said.

"Thank you, Empress."

Empress Qin said again: "Is the wedding date set for you and A Yan?"

"If you go back to the Empress, it has already been set on the third day of next month." Now that everyone knows that she and Wei Yan are going to get married, Shen Yuan is not surprised that Queen Qin will ask about it.

Empress Qin was a little surprised, "Could it be too rushed?"

"The son is currently serving as the governor of the military command, and he will rush to the post next month, so he wants to get married before leaving Chang'an."

Empress Qin became more and more dissatisfied with Wei Yan. She had never seen him be so active when she got engaged to Ningxiang.

Empress Qin restrained her emotions, and said: "If you marry A Yan, you will be the first concubine of King Qin who has entered the royal family, and every move you make represents the Tian family."

"The courtier knows."

"Prince Murong passed away early, and Ayan was always raised under my knees. I have always regarded him as my own. Now that you want to marry him, you can be considered my daughter-in-law. There is still one month before you get married. During this month, you will come into the palace every day, and I will teach you the rules." What Queen Qin said was righteous, but Shen Yuan was very clear about what was going on in her heart.

Shen Yuan took a deep breath, and replied: "Yes, my servant thanked the empress for teaching."

Empress Qin was very satisfied with Shen Yuan's obedience, and said: "Then let's go to the Imperial Garden to learn today."

"Yes."

Empress Qin's guard of honor came to the Imperial Garden in a mighty manner. Qin Ningxiang had been waiting in the Imperial Garden for a long time. When she saw Empress Qin, she quickly saluted and said, "Ningxiang has met the Queen's aunt."

"There's no need to be too polite." Empress Qin helped Qin Ningxiang up and said with a smile.

Ever since Qin Ningxiang and Wei Xun got engaged, the Taishi Mansion has regarded Qin Ningxiang as an abandoned son, and what the Taishi Mansion has always wanted is Wei Yan, not Wei Xun.

But Wei Sheng didn't plan to give up on Qin Ningxiang, but buried her in Prince Qin's mansion as his eyeliner.

Wei Sheng's attitude represented the attitude of Empress Qin, which was also the reason why Empress Qin was still willing to spend time on Qin Ningxiang.

Qin Ningxiang seemed to have just seen Shen Yuan, and said: "So Princess Zhaohe is also there."

Empress Qin said: "I just asked her to come to the palace every day to learn the rules."

Qin Ningxiang covered her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It is rumored that Princess Zhaohe grew up in the countryside when she was a child, and she doesn't know too much about the rules. I'm afraid it will make my aunt worry too much."

Empress Qin didn't know much about Shen Yuan. When she heard that Shen Yuan grew up in the countryside, she frowned and said, "How did you grow up in the countryside?"

Shen Yuan glanced at Qin Ningxiang from the corner of her eye, cold waves and smoke in her eyes.Except for the few people close to her who knew that she was accepted as a disciple by Xiao Nanshan since she was a child, everyone else mistakenly thought that Xiao Nanshan only accepted her as a disciple three years ago.

So when Queen Qin asked this question, she dared not say that she traveled abroad with Xiao Nanshan for seven years when she was a child.

"The minister's daughter was not in good health, so my sister sent the minister's daughter to the Zhuangzi outside to recuperate. Although she was in the countryside, the minister's daughter had already learned what she should learn." Shen Yuan replied.

Empress Qin looked down on Shen Yuan even more in her heart, and she said to the two court ladies beside her: "Since Princess Zhaohe doesn't know the rules, she has to work hard to learn from the beginning, and I have plenty of time."

Shen Yuan had heard about those tricks in the palace, but she didn't expect that one day it would fall on her.

The maid next to Empress Qin walked up to Shen Yuan with a bowl of water, and said to Shen Yuan: "It is said that standing has a standing appearance, and sitting has a sitting appearance. The servant girl will first teach the princess what a standing appearance is."

As he said that, he put the bowl of water on top of Shen Yuan's head, and said with a pleasant face: "Your Majesty, please stand here for half an hour. If you splash a drop of water, you will have to stand for another incense stick. "

Qin Ningxiang gloated and looked at Shen Yuan who was standing under the stone steps. She had learned these rules a long time ago. It took her ten full days of practice to practice standing with a water bowl in front of her to ensure that she would not splash water.

Shen Yuan stood up straight, and didn't know that these people were unintentionally sincere, but let her stand on this cobblestone, the embroidered shoes under her feet were thin, standing for so long, her feet would hurt to death sooner or later.

The water bowl above her head was not light, Shen Yuan stood for a while and then said: "Empress Empress, it's too simple to practice standing with the water bowl on top of your head, why don't you see how I can do this?"

As she said that, Shen Yuan walked back and forth a few steps with the water bowl on her head, but not even a drop of water in the bowl was spilled, and Shen Yuan seemed very relaxed.

These small rules did not bother her, since the year she recognized Wei Yan, she has not fallen behind in the things that noble girls in Chang'an City should learn, and even asked herself to do better than anyone else.

Shen Yuan walked back and forth three or five times without spilling a single drop of water, then stood in front of Queen Qin and said, "Do you want to continue?"

Empress Qin was angry, and originally wanted to use this to give Shen Yuan a bad start, but these things did not bother Shen Yuan.

"Then practice the next one."

Shen Yuan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, carefully took off the water bowl on her head, facing Qin Ningxiang's angry gaze, Shen Yuan's eyes were full of mockery.
