Chapter 862: Dust Falls to the Ground, Urgently Summoned Into the Palace
Shao Wanru raised his eyes and signaled to Qu Le. Qu Le hurriedly walked out and saw Zhao Xiran standing there with a smile on his face and the maid. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Grandma!"
"Is your lady here?" Zhao Xiran asked softly.
"Our young lady is inside. Someone from Prince Chen's Palace just gave our young lady a gift before she left!" Qu Le stepped aside and said with a smile.
Zhao Xiran nodded and walked in with a smile. Yu Jie had already raised the curtain.
"Sister-in-law!" Shao Wanru stood up in the main room to greet her.
"Fifth sister, you're welcome. I just came to see if you need anything here." Zhao Xiran said politely, his eyes falling on the jewelry box in front of Shao Wanru. One look at this jewelry box revealed that it was not an ordinary product. It was just a jewelry box. The lid is closed, and I don’t know what’s inside. Is this what His Highness King Chen sent here specially?
"Excuse me, sister-in-law!" After the two of them sat down, Shao Wanru said calmly, with no hint of intimacy between his expressions.
"Actually, I shouldn't be the one to do this kind of thing, but now I can only aggrieve the fifth sister. When I first arrived in the house, I may not understand some of the rules in the house. If I don't do it well, I will be in trouble. Fifth sister points it out and I will correct it!" Zhao Xiran said humbly.
She was a newlywed, and she had to deal with the internal affairs of the Xingguo Marquis Mansion on the first day. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to have lunch. It really made people feel unworthy of her, but she herself didn't complain at all. Just on this point, it makes people feel good.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work!" Shao Wanru's expression was still very calm.
"His Royal Highness, King Chen, did you tell me how the palace will deal with this matter? Just now my father sent someone over to ask me to ask the fifth sister!" Zhao Xiran sighed and said softly.
What she said was very honest. It was not a coincidence that she appeared in Piaoyun Courtyard at this time, and she did not hide it at all.
If it were any other person, even if she had some doubts about Zhao Xiran before, she would now feel that she is a sincere person. She even said such things behind her back, and she is also an honest person.
"Just now the eunuch beside His Highness King Chen came over. He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask anything. If my sister-in-law had come a few steps earlier, I could have asked directly!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly and said elegantly and calmly.
It was difficult to answer these words. Zhao Xiran choked for a moment before smiling again: "Since His Highness King Chen didn't say anything, it's best. Such a big thing happened in the mansion. Grandma and third aunt fell ill. If next If people continue to make such nonsense, our entire government will never end up like this!"
Zhao Xiran's smile was very forced. It was really an unreasonable disaster to talk about it. She threw a banquet and caused so many things. As a newlywed, she fell out of favor with her husband's family and now has to take care of the housework. , no matter how you look at it, Zhao Xiran is at a loss.
The room fell silent for a moment, as if they didn't know what to say.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Xiran stood up: "Since there is nothing to do here, Fifth Sister, I will go back first. If Fifth Sister has any news, please send it over first. We descended from the Duke's Mansion to the Marquis' Mansion and became the whole The jokes in the capital should be shared by the same enemy now, and we must not let other people see more jokes!"
This means binding the entire Xingguo Hou Mansion together and working together as one!
The corners of Shao Wanru's lips curled up silently, and then she nodded, "Sister-in-law said yes, and that's the way it should be!"
Seeing that Shao Wanru had no intention of opposing her, Zhao Xiran breathed a sigh of relief. Now that she was married into the Xingguo Hou Mansion, she certainly didn't want anything to happen to the Xingguo Hou Mansion now.
After sending Zhao Xiran to the door, Shao Wanru returned, sat in front of the chair, opened the jewelry box, and took out the exquisite Huasheng inside. It always looked familiar.
But after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember it. He twisted his fingers gently, and golden light flashed under the sun, illuminating the sight of everyone in the room.
"Miss, can I wear this Huasheng now?" Yujie asked.
"No!" Shao Wanru shook her head. Even if she is a princess, she cannot wear such an exquisite Huasheng. There are nine hairpins on the phoenix above. It is not custom-made for the princess to wear. Then It is customized by the Queen.
"Why did he send it here if it wasn't His Highness Chen Wang?" Yu Jie was startled. She had only asked this question when she saw Phoenix.
"This is not a new one!" Shao Wanru lowered his head and looked carefully at the Huasheng in front of him, and said, there are traces of wear on the lines, and you can tell at a glance that it has been aged for some time.
"Then...could that belong to His Highness King Chen's mother?" Qu Le thought of another answer and said in surprise.
Although Chu Liuchen is only King Chen, his mother is the queen of the late emperor. If it is her relic, then it is understandable to have such Huasheng.
"It should be!" Shao Wanru also guessed the same. He turned the Huasheng in his hand again, but still couldn't remember whether he had seen it before.
I always felt that I should have seen it before, but my mind went blank and I couldn't remember if I had really seen it before.
"Since it belongs to the late Queen, why did His Highness Chen Wang give it to you at this time?" Yu Jie still didn't understand. This thing is considered a relic. It is understandable that His Highness Chen Wang wanted to give it to his own lady, but now he is giving it to you. , and you can’t wear it, so why are you here? Shouldn't it be given to the young lady after she marries into Prince Chen's palace?
Shao Wanru turned Huasheng in his hand again, and then frowned slightly in Huasheng's twinkling reflection. What was the purpose of Huasheng? It was absolutely impossible for Chu Liuchen to give this thing away for no reason, so who was it for?
As his eyes flashed, his eyes became darker and darker.
"Put it away first!" Unable to figure it out for a moment, Shao Wanru put it away
Hua Sheng carefully placed it in the jewelry box and asked Yu Jie to pack it away.
Aunt Yu hurried in at this time. After entering the door, she bowed to Shao Wanru and said, "Miss, there is news from the palace!"
"What news?" Shao Wanru was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was talking about the servants sent to the palace by the Xingguo Hou Mansion. Didn't Xiao Xuanzi just say that it was no big deal!
"It's just about the draft. It's being spread outside now." Aunt Yu just came back from outside and came to report it after hearing some rumors on the street.
"How do you say it?" Shao Wanru asked with interest.
"Miss Qi has become the concubine of His Royal Highness King Zhou, and another lady has become the concubine of King Yue. Neither the main concubine of King Zhou nor the main concubine of King Yue appeared in this draft, but there are several new concubines in the palace. The eldest lady is also on the list of these concubines!" said Aunt Yu.
"You haven't booked Princess Zhou and Princess Yue yet?" Shao Wanru said in surprise.
"It's not that we haven't booked it yet. It's because we haven't booked it yet. Princess Yuan'an is Princess Zhou, Miss Zhang is Princess Yue, and Prince Xin is too young. It's because she hasn't booked it yet. Originally, the Prince of Qing County also had no reservations. I sent one over, but it was said that Prince Qing already had a marriage contract and the concubine already had one, so I didn’t give him another one!”
Aunt Yu said.
Shao Wanru couldn't remember who Princess Yue was in her previous life, but Shao Wanru really knew who Princess Zhou was in her previous life. She was indeed Princess Yuan'an. When Princess Yuanan came to the Xingguo Hou Mansion earlier, Shao Wanru was still I met her once, but I didn't expect that after going around and around, it was still her.
His eyes couldn't help but condense a little. He didn't participate in the draft and still became Princess Zhou. It can be seen that this was booked early, but he had not heard anything about it before. The queen's news was blocked very well.
As for Princess Yue, she was Zhang Qilan, but she didn't expect that Zhang Qilan left the palace early. The so-called draft was just a formality. She didn't expect that she could still be selected. It really makes people feel speechless, but thinking about her Behind it is Zhang Xiang, and some things feel like they can be explained again.
"Both King Yue and King Zhou each married a main concubine and a side concubine. Prince Qing had a main concubine. Miss Qi is now the side concubine of His Highness King Zhou. The palace's decree has now been released. This The time should have been notified, and the beautiful ladies who were not left behind have left the palace one after another."
Having been with Shao Wanru for a while, Aunt Yu is now doing things that make Shao Wanru more and more relieved. She is no longer reckless in doing things, and she can also do things concisely and clearly. She is completely different from when she was in Jiangzhou in the past. It's like a different person, of course there is the help of Aunt Zheng.
"Just wait and see what happens!" Shao Wanru said extremely calmly. She originally thought that this matter was far away from her, but after all, the marriage between her and Chu Liuchen had been arranged long ago.
But she didn't expect that things would contact her so quickly. The next morning, a decree came from the palace to let her enter the palace.
Mrs. Tai specially called her over and repeatedly told her to be careful in her words and deeds in the palace. She also warned her repeatedly about the current trend of the Xingguo Marquis Mansion and that there should be no more accidents. She also hinted that if something happened to Shao Wanru, Her position as the future Princess Chen may not be preserved.
Shao Wanru stood in front of Mrs. Tai with lowered eyebrows.
Seeing Shao Wanru's relatively supple appearance, the wife was quite satisfied. She stretched out her hand to touch her aching head, waved her hand and said: "I have said everything I want to say, and then it's up to you. , Grandma can only help you so far!”
It was as if the lady was worried about Shao Wanru wholeheartedly.
Shao Wanru raised his eyes and glanced at the Madam, then smiled softly at the Madam's instructions, and then left with the others.
The palace carriage was already ready at the gate of the palace. Yu Jie accompanied Shao Wanru on the carriage and walked all the way to the palace. When they arrived at the palace gate, the carriage stopped. Yu Jie jumped off the carriage first, and then helped Shao Wanru out of the carriage. Shao Wanru.
The palace sedan was already waiting at the second gate. Shao Wanru got on the palace sedan, and Yujie was waiting beside it and walked all the way to the palace!
In the palace sedan, Shao Wanru's eyebrows were lightly frowning. She didn't think she should come into the palace at this time, so why was the palace so anxious to let her in?
He tugged hard on the handkerchief, his eyes darkened...
