Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 101 Untie Mother's Heart Knot

"I'm sorry to keep your eunuch waiting for a long time. Last night I was greedy for cold, and I woke up with a headache in the morning."

Shen Wanyu stood outside the door for a while, listening to what San Yiniang said.She raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, hoping that your father-in-law would dislike her.To slander herself in front of the empress dowager, it's a pity that she made a wrong calculation.

"Where's the word, the miscellaneous family came here this time specially by the Queen Mother's order to convey her old man's wishes."

Your father-in-law quickly opened his mouth with a smile, and took the orange Yizhi in his hand from the little eunuch beside him.

The protagonist had already arrived, and everyone immediately lined up and knelt on the ground, waiting for the noble mother to read out the edict.Your father-in-law opened the orange Yizhi and read it out in his sharp voice.

"According to the order of the Empress Dowager, there is a girl Wanyu in Beining Hou's Mansion. She is intelligent and pleasant, and her gentleness and grandeur have won the hearts of my palace. Today, I am specially summoned to the palace to accompany me for a few days. From the day of receiving the order, I will enter the palace immediately."

Shen Wanyu frowned slightly after hearing your eunuch's edict.Some don't understand what the empress dowager is thinking. Last time they wanted to make her and the crown prince a pair, she had already tactfully refused.According to the cleverness of the queen mother and queen, they must understand what she meant.So what is the reason for today's move?

Shen Wanyu was a little absorbed in her thoughts, she knelt on the spot for a while and didn't get up to receive the order.The old lady who was kneeling beside her stretched out her hand and pushed her.Only then did she regain her senses, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank her for accepting the order.

"Wan Yu thanked the Empress Dowager for her kindness, and the Empress Dowager has lived for a thousand years."

After thanking Shen Wanyu for her kindness, she slowly stood up and took the edict from your father-in-law with both hands.

"The miscellaneous family has finished reading the queen mother's edict, Miss Shen, pack up and go to the palace with the miscellaneous family." Your father-in-law hurriedly said with a smile, this time is an important period for the crown prince to choose a concubine.As the confidant of the Empress Dowager, he naturally guessed a bit of what the Empress Dowager meant.For this young lady of the Shen family who might ascend to the throne of the crown princess, she could not be neglected.Besides, even if the crown princess is not selected, then according to the love of the empress dowager and empress for Miss Shen's family, she will at least be a princess in the future.

There was a hint of hesitation on Shen Wanyu's face, this decree came too suddenly.If she enters the palace, she may not know when she will be able to come back, and she has to explain what happened during this period.

"Miss Shen, what do you want to say to the miscellaneous family?" Your father-in-law is the person who is most able to read words and expressions, and when he saw her expression changed, he immediately stepped forward and asked.

Seeing that your father-in-law asked himself, Shen Wanyu didn't hesitate to say what she wanted to say: "It's like this, the empress dowager's order came too suddenly. Wanyu still wants to prepare something for the empress dowager, I wonder if it can be done tomorrow morning Re-enter the palace?"

Your father-in-law was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to agree on his behalf.After all, the Empress Dowager's order is for Miss Shen to enter the palace immediately, and if she enters the palace again tomorrow, I don't know if the Empress Dowager will blame her.

"Your eunuch, you can just pass Wanyu's original words to the empress dowager, and I will personally apologize to the empress dowager when I enter the palace tomorrow." Shen Wanyu took a delicate purse from Nanny Yu and stuffed it into your eunuch's hands .There was always a gentle smile on her face, and her eyes were cool and bright.

Your father-in-law put down the purse and nodded.Since Miss Shen's family has already said so, it's hard for him to refuse.

"The miscellaneous family knows, and will convey Miss Shen's original words to the empress dowager. In this case, the miscellaneous family will take people back to return to the empress dowager. 0"

After speaking, he turned around and left with the man, and Lord Hou personally sent the man out of the gate of the Hou Mansion.Being able to be accompanied by the Queen Mother in the palace for a few days is to give Hou Mansion and Shen Wanyu face as well.

This is to tell all the nobles in the entire capital that Miss Shen's family is deeply favored by the Tian family and cannot be offended.

Sensing a somewhat vicious gaze, Shen Wanyu turned her head to look.Meeting Shen Wanqing's vicious eyes, the jealousy and gloom in her eyes wrapped around your neck like a poisonous snake, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Grandmother, Wanyu is going to enter the palace for a while. Please help me pay more attention to my mother's body, and don't let someone who wants to tamper with her medicine. Wanyu can't stay with you, you have to take good care of yourself When you have a headache, let Mother Shen give you a massage as I said, it will relieve the pain. "

Shen Wanyu withdrew her gaze and smiled slightly.He stepped forward and supported the old lady's arm and walked towards the backyard, completely ignoring the few people standing aside with ugly faces.

Her voice is not loud, but it can be clearly conveyed to everyone's ears.It didn't take long for the entire Hou Mansion to know about Yun Manrou being poisoned.

It wasn't until the figures of several people disappeared in the hall of the front yard that Shen Yuning said with a face full of jealousy: "Look, the one who made her proud was the one who was announced into the palace to accompany the queen mother? Huh, according to her temperament, she is in the palace." You may not know which nobleman you bumped into and will be punished."

Shen Yurou glanced at Shen Yuning mockingly, it seems that San Yiniang's temperament can only raise such a stupid daughter.

"Cough cough. Yurou helped mother go back." Fourth Aunt coughed weakly suddenly, her face turned pale.

"Are you feeling unwell again?" Shen Yurou hurriedly stepped forward to support her mother, her face was worried but her eyes were clear.

"It's an old problem, just go back and rest for a while." Fourth Aunt shook her head and comforted her.

"Fourth sister, your body is too weak. It's better not to come out and make a fuss. If something happens, what will you ask Fourth Miss to do?" Third Aunt stepped forward and asked concerned, but the words she said were a bit harsh.

The fourth aunt glanced at the third aunt lightly, and said in an unhurried tone: "I made my sister worry."

After speaking, Shen Yurou supported her to leave the hall, San Yiniang was already full of anger.Now being given such a sentence by Fourth Aunt who is usually timid and silent, how can I bear it.

"It's just a medicine jar, what are you pretending to be noble?" She said in a strange voice, the volume of her voice just reached the ears of Fourth Aunt who walked out of the hall.Seeing that Fourth Aunt stopped in her footsteps for a moment, she then continued to walk forward.

The second aunt looked at the third aunt who would choke on anyone caught today, a look of disgust and contempt flashed in her eyes.She turned around and took her daughter's cold hand, and walked past Third Concubine to leave.

The third aunt looked at the second aunt who ignored her and left, and stamped her foot.Today she was completely ignored by others, and the anger in her heart made her uncomfortable.She turned her head and glanced at her daughter.

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you go back with me?"

My stomach is really disappointing, why did I give birth to such a money-losing product.They are all aunts, look at that second aunt who gave birth to a daughter but is in charge of the middle class in the back house of the Hou Mansion.This person is really infuriating compared to others.

Shen Yuning looked at her mother aggrievedly, why did she vent her anger on her.But she didn't dare to say it out, so she could only leave behind her mother in aggrieved manner.

Shen Wanyu returned to Yuyuan with Mammy Yu and the others, and shunned the little maid who was serving her.Only Nanny Yu and Qiuzhu were left behind.

"I will only bring Qiuzhu and Nanny Yu with me when I enter the palace this time, and the others will stay in the Hou's mansion. During this period of time, I will leave the safety of my garden to Yushui. As for Chunlan, you guys should pay more attention to those few. The movement in the yard. During my absence, don't let anyone take advantage of it. "

"The servant knows."

Chunlan and the others nodded quickly, not angry because she didn't bring her into the palace.In their hearts, as long as the lady's order exists, it will exist like an imperial decree.

"Nurse Yu, you are now the old grandmother by my grandmother's side. I heard from my grandmother that you had stayed in the palace for a long time, and you knew the rules of the palace very well. Don't mention anything wrong with Wanyu."

Shen Wanyu pulled over the nanny, with a gentle smile on her face.There was even a hint of admiration in her expression, which was also her attitude towards Mammy.Since Nanny Yu came to her yard, it was obvious that the little maids outside the house had become much more peaceful.Although she has not seen this method with her own eyes, it cannot be said that it is not powerful.

"Don't dare to say something, the lady is the master. The nanny is the servant, and the servant can only be better when the master is good. The servant will tell the lady everything he knows."

Satisfaction flashed across Nanny Yu's eyes, but she dared not admit it.She is the son of the Hou family, and the education she has received since she was a child is the division of master and servant.Even though the master treats her like a family member, the slaves are still slaves.

"Nurse Yu, go and help me deliver this to my grandmother and my mother." Shen Wanyu took out two large bottles of jade-colored oval boxes from the purple carved box on the dressing table. red flower.

"Okay, servant girl will send it over here." Nanny Yu took the box Shen Wanyu handed over, turned and left the inner room.

As soon as Nanny Yu left, only Qiuzhu and the others were left in the inner room.It's not that she wants to deliberately hide it from Mammy Yu, it's just that the less people know about some things, the better.

"Chunlan, while I'm away, find a time to go out of the house and give this to Aunt Lan. The people in the house in the south of the city should also train them. You can teach Aunt Lan what I taught you. "

Shen Wanyu took out a thick letter from the bottom of the purple carved box, and she handed it to Chunlan who was standing aside, not forgetting to tell her: "Don't let anyone find out, the outside of our yard is not very peaceful these days. How many pairs of eyes are watching, you must not let them find out."

Shen Wanyu raised the corners of her mouth, gloomy and indifferent.She couldn't put eyeliner in her yard, so she put her eyes outside her yard.I really don't give up.

"Your servant understands." Chunlan put the letter in her arms and put it away, her eyes were firm that she would definitely complete the task assigned by the lady.

Thinking that the young lady will enter the palace tomorrow, I won't see my young lady for a while.His eyes turned red, and he said with some reluctance: "Miss, you don't know when you will come back after entering the palace this time, the servants will miss you."

Shen Wanyu looked helplessly at the little maidservants with red eyes, and sighed: "Look at you, it's like parting from life to death. It's not like I won't be coming back. The School of Business is about to start, and the Queen Mother will definitely let me go before that." back."

Hearing Shen Wanyu's words, Chunlan and the others thought about this for a while.Only then did he smile through his tears, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Shen Wanyu looked at the sky, it was still early and she still had time to do something.She stood up and looked at Qiuzhu: "Qiuzhu, pick some leaves from those mint plants and send them to the pharmacy."

Qiu Zhu nodded, they knew that their young lady would probably spend the rest of the day in the pharmacy.

Shen Wanyu naturally has her own calculations, she wants to extract the mint essence and add it to her newly developed soap oil.She had thought for a long time before developing the soap used for bathing in her previous life. She thought about adding peppermint essence to the soap fat to cool her body after bathing, so she was afraid of the hot summer.

Shen Wanyu took out some beautiful and exquisite models that Qiu Zhu had asked a blacksmith to make some time ago, and introduced the boiled fat into the models.Put it in a box with ice cubes on the side, and wait for it to solidify on its own.

Seeing the gradually solidified soap fat, she raised a satisfied smile at the corner of her mouth.Clapping her hands and stretching her waist, she looked at the gradually darkening sky outside.

The sky was dyed a majestic bright red by the red clouds in the evening, and the sun radiated orange-red light, which echoed the red clouds, creating a picture of a beautiful sunset in the evening.

She withdrew her gaze and pushed open the door of the alchemy room.Qiuzhu and the others were all guarding outside, and when they saw her coming out, they immediately became busy.The little thing even jumped out of Chunlan's arms immediately, and threw herself into her arms, acting like a spoiled child.

Shen Wanyu hugged the little thing, her eyes were downcast and soft.Reaching out to shuffle its smooth fur, this action immediately aroused the little creature's dissatisfaction.The big wet eyes accused her of evil deeds, but she ignored its accusation and became more and more presumptuous. She didn't take back her hand until the little thing exploded.

"Miss, supper is ready. Would you like to have it in the yard, or in the inner room?"

Chunlan and Xia Ju came out of the small kitchen, holding plates of food in their hands.As soon as the little thing who was frying hair smelled the aroma, his eyes lit up and he salivated at the food plate in Chunlan's hand.

Shen Wanyu was speechless about this snack, she reached out to pick it up and put it on her shoulder.Sitting on the stone bench in the yard: "Let's eat here again."

Chun Lan and Xia Ju quickly filled the stone table with dishes, all of which were the favorite things of their young lady.Shen Wanyu looked at the dishes on the table, feeling a warm current in her heart.

The dinner was very warm, and several people talked and laughed.The yard was full of laughter and laughter.After dinner, Shen Wanyu took Qiuzhu to Yun Manrou's yard.

"My sister hasn't given up on making Yu'er the crown princess, but I don't want my daughter to be dragged into the competition for that position." Yun Manrou gently stroked the green jade pendant around her waist , with a blooming flower carved on it, but the flower is only half.The other half is in the hands of the current empress. This is the twin flower jade pendant specially made for the two sisters by their mother when they were in the Zhen Guogong Mansion. There is only such a pair in this world.

"Oh, ma'am, I think the empress also wants the young lady to be the most honorable person in Dakun. She is also doing it for the sake of the young lady." Although Madam Jin said comforting words, there was bitterness in her voice that couldn't be concealed.

"Is it the most honorable position? The heights are extremely cold, and my sister's life is very good. After all, she and the emperor are young couples, and the relationship between the two is much deeper than others, and the queen mother and aunt support her. But Yu'er is different, although My sister and aunt can protect her, but His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like her. If she really becomes the Crown Princess, her temperament may cause some trouble."

Yun Manrou's expression was a little lonely, she bit her lips: "With the power of our Hou family, it is not difficult for Yu'er to marry a good family. I only hope that the happiness she can live will not be like me. Those aunts in the house"

"Ma'am, for so many years, because of your own health, you have not allowed Master Hou to stay here overnight and pushed her into the rooms of those aunts. You must feel uncomfortable, but Master Hou is not feeling well. All these years, Master Hou has never You have never been to other aunts' rooms, and you stay in your own Jingfang Courtyard every night. Now that you are in good health, why do you still want to drive Master Hou out?"

Nanny Jin looked at Lord Hou and his wife who clearly loved each other deeply, but their relationship has become like this.
"Speaking of Wanyu's matter, why did it involve me. No, I won't let her marry the crown prince. Nurse Jin quickly get me a pen and paper. I want to write a letter to my sister."

Yun Manrou changed the topic, it's not that she doesn't want to have sex with Wen Yan.It's just that after so many years, she is still a little afraid of her body.

"Ma'am, don't worry. The Empress loves Miss so much, if Miss doesn't want to, she won't force her." Nurse Jin hurriedly tried to dissuade her, the eldest lady is no longer the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.The current eldest lady is first of all the daughter-in-law of the royal family, the queen who is the mother of the world, and then the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

"Oh, I was too anxious. I hope my sister can figure it out so that Yu'er will not be involved in that cannibal harem." Yun Manrou sighed and leaned back on the soft pillow.

Shen Wanyu was standing behind the curtain in the inner room, she had come when the two were talking.It's just that I didn't make a sound and didn't let the maids in the yard inform me, so I knew what my mother had in mind and the purpose of entering the palace this time.It turned out that the queen and the queen mother still didn't give up on letting themselves marry the prince, and she had to find a way to solve this matter when she entered the palace this time.

She adjusted her facial expression and a broad smile appeared on her face.Stretching out his hand, he lifted the curtain of the inner room and walked in with Qiu Zhu.

"Mother, what are you whispering to Nanny Jin. I heard your sigh before I came in."

Yun Manrou was startled by the sudden clear and sweet voice, looked up and saw her daughter walking over with a smile on her face.

"Come here quickly, why is this time coming? You will enter the palace tomorrow, so have a good rest tonight." Yun Manrou took Shen Wanyu's hand and let her sit beside her.

"My daughter is going to enter the palace tomorrow. I'm here today to give my mother acupuncture. I can't do acupuncture for you during this time. You have to take these medicines on time." Shen Wanyu took out the Bingpo silver needle from her bosom, and told Nanny Jin and Qiuzhu Help take off Yun Manrou's clothes.

"I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow, so tonight's acupuncture can be skipped." Yun Manrou wanted to get up, but was stopped by Shen Wanyu.She smiled slightly, and said softly while doing acupuncture: "Mother, I still expect you to fill me with a cute little brother next year. Your body has recovered a lot, and the poison in your body has been cleaned before I take it for you." The medicine for warming and nourishing the body is definitely no problem."

Yun Manrou's face turned red, and she glared at her daughter coquettishly: "You girl, are you ashamed, no girl would say such a thing."

"I'm right, mother, the eldest son and grandson of the Hou Mansion must come out of your stomach."

This time with acupuncture, Yun Manrou did not fall asleep like before, but she felt much more refreshed.When Shen Wanyu put away the silver needle, she put on the clothes and pulled them over her.

"Mother knows that you are doing it for mother's good, but I'm afraid of disappointing mother and husband."

Shen Wanyu smiled mysteriously, and leaned close to her mother's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mother, don't worry. With a daughter here, you will definitely give birth to a fat boy."

Yun Manrou's face quickly turned red, even the roots of her ears were red.Nanny Jin and Qiuzhu looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.I don't know what the eldest lady said to the madam to make the madam so shy but the brilliance in her eyes cannot be concealed.For so many years, Madam has not shown such a dazzling brilliance for a long time.At this moment, she seemed to see her former wife again.

"Mother, once you miss some things, you will never get them back. Don't let yourself regret it in the future." Shen Wanyu stood up and looked at her mother tenderly: "Since the scruples in my heart are gone, why not let it go and take a gamble." What about it? Grandma once told me that this life is like a big gamble. It depends on whether you have the courage and courage."

After finishing speaking, Shen Wanyu took Qiu Zhu to prepare to leave, but she stopped when she passed by Nanny Jin.

"Grandma Jin, the medicine in this green porcelain bottle is given to mother three times a day in the morning, noon and evening. Everything else is fine as usual."

"Understood, miss." Nanny Jin nodded, holding a green porcelain bottle tightly in her hand.She is also considered a good person, and she more or less guessed some of the meaning of the words between the two of them.

Shen Wanyu turned her head to look at the mother who was sitting on the bed, urging her eyes to meditate: "Mother, think about it carefully."

Shen Wanyu took Qiuzhu and left, only Yunman, Ruan, and Nurse Jin were left in the inner room.Nanny Jin looked at the pensive wife, and didn't make a sound to disturb her, but just stood quietly and waited.There are some things that Madam needs to figure out by herself.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and it took an unknown amount of time before Yun Manrou slowly raised her head.Those eyes that were as gentle as water were full of firmness, as if he had already made a decision.

"To prepare for bathing, go and invite Lord Hou."

When Nanny Jin heard Yun Manrou's words, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a joyful expression: "Okay, I'm going to prepare now."

The madam finally figured it out, and thanks to the young lady, she untied the knot in the madam's heart.At this moment, Shen Wenyan, who was standing in the courtyard of Jingfang Courtyard, looked in the direction of Yun Manrou's courtyard, his eyes dimmed a bit.
