Chapter 741: Former Wang Concubine
Miss Wang, formerly known as Wang Yuxin, is the second daughter of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Shao Wanru didn't actually know her. When Shao Yanru was talking to this young lady, she only saw her briefly. Shao Yanru happened to be standing in front of Miss Wang Yuxin, and Shao Wanru didn't even see Miss Wang's face clearly. .
Originally, she did not expect that Miss Wang was Wang Yuxin, but the topic that Shao Yanru was covering up just now seemed not to be focused on it, and in the end, she just mentioned it as if she had just thought of this person.
Accompanying her to see Master Pushan was absolutely impossible. Not to mention that Shao Wanru had no relationship with Master Pushan in the first place, but she was on bad terms with two of Master Pushan's disciples. Let's just talk about her relationship with Shao Yanru. , and she couldn't possibly accompany Shao Yanru to meet Master Pushan in a place like this.
In the palace, if you say the wrong word or take the wrong step, you may be doomed. It is impossible for other sisters to agree to go. Shao Yanru's request is the same as never being made.
As for helping to explain later, it is a trivial matter. Compared with the previous matter, Shao Wanru will definitely agree to such an insignificant matter.
It seems that this is the key to Shao Yanru coming to talk this time, but in fact it is the last one that he almost forgot.
Wang Yuxin-Miss Wang-Wang Concubine-Wang Concubine who has a bad temper and is particularly jealous
Speaking of which, the concubine Wang was indeed Shao Yanru's friend in her last life. The relationship between the two has always been very good. When Shao Yanru was working for Shao Zhaoyi, the concubine Wang had always been attached to her, making sarcastic comments and helping Shao Yanru with all her troubles. She, sometimes when Shao Yanru put on a dignified and gentle image, this one would be a vicious helper by the side.
But later the princess died, even inexplicably. She jumped into the lake in the middle of winter and drowned.
At that time, Shao Wanru saw this scene with her own eyes, so she remembered it very clearly.
The lake that Wang Concubine jumped into was not far from Chuxiu Palace. Standing at the back window of the attic that Chu Liuchen had prepared for her before, she could see it from a distance.
It was a coincidence that day. She happened to be standing at the back window when she saw Wang Concubine running over, and then jumped directly into the water. In the winter water, the palace maids and eunuchs who chased her did not dare to go down the mountain casually. Only a few loyal ones jumped down, and by the time the emperor got the letter, the concubine Wang was already dead.
Shao Wanru remembered that she was very happy when she saw it, as if she had been secretly pricked with a needle by Wang Concubine the day before, and her wrist was so swollen that she could not even hold a paintbrush.
"Is there a problem with Miss Wang?" Yu Jie said worriedly, "Since there is a problem, why should the young lady agree to the eldest lady? She can just reject it!"
"No need to refuse, this time I want to see what trouble Miss Wang and Shao Yanru want to cause!" Shao Wanru said with a low smile, his eyes were cold.
She is not the helpless painter she was in her previous life, and the two of them are not the emperor's concubines yet.
In terms of status, her current status is still higher than that of Miss Wang Yuxin. She is not afraid of meeting Miss Wang again.
When Miss Wang Yuxin came over, Shao Wanru was talking in Shao Caihuan's room. He heard Shao Yanru knocking on the door. After Shao Caihuan asked the maid to go over and take a look, he brought Wang Yuxin over.
Wang Yuxin, who is wearing a goose-yellow palace dress, is also very beautiful. In terms of appearance, she even looks very kind and sweet, but she doesn't look like the mean and vicious person she used to be Shao Yanru's thug in her previous life.
"Miss Shao San, Miss Shao Wu!" After bowing to the two sisters Yingying, he stood up with a smile and told himself his name and origin.
"Miss Wang, please take a seat!" Shao Caihuan is the host here, smiling and politely inviting her to take a seat.
Shao Wanru smiled slightly and did not answer. He just looked at Miss Wang up and down, as if it was the first time he saw her. In fact, it was really the first time she saw her. She had already seen her when she saw her in her previous life. Three years later, when Wang Yuxin, who was now a palace concubine, faced her, she became more arrogant and forceful.
But now this Miss Wang cannot be arrogant.
The three of them talked and laughed, and seemed to be harmonious. Although Wang Yuxin and Shao Caihuan were mostly talking, Shao Wanru looked at them with a smile, and drank tea from time to time because he couldn't avoid answering.
"Miss Shao Wu, are you willing to stay or leave?" Suddenly Wang Yuxin smiled and brought the topic to Shao Wanru, looking at Shao Wanru with a kind face.
"This... it's not something we can decide!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly and said leisurely. She was sitting at the back and didn't seem to talk much. It would have made people feel indifferent, but it was just like this Her appearance is taboo no matter where she is placed.
Thinking of what Shao Yanru said to her before, Wang Yuxin's eyes jumped hard. Originally, the person she was most taboo on was Shao Yanru. Before entering the palace, she knew that Shao Yanru was the most beautiful woman. Such a reputation must be hers. The most powerful opponent, she didn't expect that she not only saw Shao Yanru, but also the even more outstanding Shao Wanru.
Compared to Shao Yanru, who seemed gentle and generous, the Shao Wanru in front of her was her ultimate opponent.
"I heard that Fifth Miss knows King Yue?" Wang Yuxin said pretending not to care. Even Shao Caihuan looked at Shao Wanru after saying this. She really didn't know about this.
"King Yue?" Shao Wanru frowned and shook his head, "I only met him once from a distance."
"Have we only met once? I heard that His Highness Prince Xin and Prince Yue met you together, and that His Highness Prince Xin even chased you to Duke Xingguo's Mansion to see you?" Wang Yuxin said with a surprised look on her face.
Shao Caihuan looked at Shao Wanru with a bit of doubt. She really seemed to have heard someone in the house say this, but she didn't know if it was true or not. Could it be true now?
Shao Wanru's face sank, his eyes raised, and his cold eyes fell on Wang Yuxin: "What does Miss Wang mean? Do you know that the most forbidden thing in this palace is the use of words, if Miss Wang wants to If you know whether what I said is true, then let’s go and see the Queen now and ask her to invite King Xin and King Yue to come and ask her clearly in person, which is better than the suspicion of a bad person’s reputation in private!”
Shao Wanru said and stood up, looking like he was going to confront him immediately.
Wang Yuxin was stunned at first, and her face turned red, but her hands and feet couldn't help but tremble. She didn't expect that it was just a simple probing sentence, but it elicited such words from Shao Wanru, but if it really happened in front of the Queen, she would definitely hate it. It didn't work out. I was angry and resentful for a while, and regretted that I had spoken too quickly.
When Shao Yanru told him, he repeatedly said that he couldn't talk about such things, but just now he saw her sitting next to her looking very kind, so she couldn't help but asked.
"Fifth Miss, these are just some rumors I heard. They cannot be taken seriously. Why bother the Queen?" Although Wang Yuxin was very angry, she had to admit her mistake.
When he first came to the palace for the draft, he had a quarrel of words, and it was indeed what he heard. If the queen knew about it, she would send him back immediately. She is not too young, and she has not yet gotten married. Just for this draft, she couldn't go back.
"It's best for Miss Wang to think so. I don't have anything to worry about. I'm just afraid that His Highness King Xin and His Highness King Yue will investigate. Although this place is called Chuxiu Palace and is a bit remote, it must be in the palace after all. If it's because of the two Your Highness will pursue the case, and if Miss Wang is not mentioned, even Miss Wang’s father will probably be unable to bear the burden and walk away!”
Shao Wanru said calmly, turned to Shao Caihuan and said: "Third sister, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't accompany third sister!"
"Since you feel uncomfortable, go back!" Shao Caihuan nodded.
Seeing Shao Wanru leaving, Wang Yu felt ashamed and annoyed, and almost crushed the handkerchief in his hand. He didn't expect that Shao Wanru, who seemed to be easy to bully, would be so difficult to deal with. He had been confused by her before. Well, I accidentally said what was in my heart.
"Miss Third, I'm leaving too. I've been out for so long, it's time to go back!" Wang Yuxin stood up with a dry smile.
Shao Caihuan also stood up: "Then I'll send Miss Wang off!"
"Third Miss, you're too polite. I won't disturb Third Miss!" Wang Yuxin was really not in the mood, so she tugged on her handkerchief and refused.
She was so angry now that she had no mood to deal with Shao Caihuan. After saying this, she turned around and walked out without waiting for Shao Caihuan to say anything else.
When I saw Shao Wanru's back outside the house, I stared at him bitterly for a few times before leaving, feeling angry in my heart.
Originally, she came to see Shao Wanru first. After all, Shao Wanru's appearance gave her a great sense of crisis. But now it seems that it is true. Shao Wanru really has a complicated relationship with King Yue, otherwise she would not dare to say anything. If the Empress of Renzong invites King Yue to confront her, are she sure that King Yue will prove her words?
His Royal Highness King Yue actually knew Shao Wanru very early. She was very likely to choose Shao Wanru as his concubine this time. She couldn't calm down the anger in her heart. She and King Yue had also known each other early, and King Yue had always been very fond of her. I have a good impression, and my previous words with my father also included the intention to wait for the draft.
But with her status, she would be a side concubine at most, but if the main concubine was Shao Wanru, she really wouldn't be willing to do so.
After going out, she turned in another direction and went straight to the palace gate. Where King Yue might be at this time, King Yue hinted to her before entering the palace last time.
"Miss, where is your fragrance?" the maid walking behind her reminded her.
After Wang Yuxin stood still, he took out a small piece of incense from his sleeve and threw it away.
"Miss, don't throw it away yet. It would be bad if you throw it here and let people see it!" The maid pointed at the gate of Chuxiu Palace. A palace maid at the gate was looking at them in surprise.
"Let's go, we'll talk later!" Wang Yuxin put the incense back into her sleeves and said coldly. This incense was originally going to be placed in the incense burner in Shao Wanru's room. Unexpectedly, Shao Wanru was not in his room. But in Shao Caihuan’s room!
