NOVEL NEXT Chapter 102 The concubine has been selected
Xiao Jinyan comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here, and my mother won't make things difficult for you."
Shen Chuwei wanted to say something, but Xiao Jinyan said first, "Get ready, I still have things to deal with."
Okay!
Shen Chuwei sent Xiao Jinyan away, and then lay on the rattan chair like a salted fish. Seeing the five books on the low table, she simply turned sideways, out of sight and out of mind.
Chang Liangdi has not been idle these days. Since it was rumored that the Queen wanted to make her a concubine to manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace, sisters would come to Xinlan Palace every day to visit and curry favor with them.
In order to win people's hearts, Chang Liangdi naturally had to build a good relationship with them, so she specially prepared a tea party to keep in touch.
Chunxi received the invitation and came to tell Shen Chuwei.
"My lady, Chang Liangdi invites you to a tea party."
Shen Chuwei asked in confusion: "What is a tea party? Do I have to speak? If so, I won't go."
"No, it's just the sisters in the East Palace drinking tea together, chatting, and eating some fruit snacks."
As soon as Chunxi finished speaking, Shen Chuwei's eyes lit up, "Go, why not go if there's food?"
The fruit snacks in Chang Liangdi's palace are pretty good.
Chunxi looked worried, "Aren't you afraid of the Hongmen Banquet?"
Shen Chuwei said: "What are you afraid of? Can she eat me?"
Chunxi shook his head: "That's not afraid, I'm just afraid that they will trip me up secretly."
Shen Chuwei said indifferently: "It's okay, they can't trip me up."
Chunxi sighed, and when his lady heard that there was food, her eyes lit up and she was not afraid of anything.
In the evening, Shen Chuwei ate her meal and went to bed early.
On the day of the tea party, Shen Chuwei was pulled to the dressing table by Chunxi to dress up, so as not to be outdone by Chang Liangdi.
A few days ago, His Highness sent a piece of very rare material, the color was lotus pink, which was particularly suitable for Shen Chuwei's fair skin.
She sent it to the clothing bureau early and made a very beautiful dress, which happened to be delivered by the clothing bureau yesterday.
At this time, the lotus pink dress Shen Chuwei was wearing was newly made, and it was more suitable than expected.
Chunxi took out the set of peach blossom hairpins sent by Tao Chenghui, and then put them on Shen Chuwei one by one, which matched the lotus pink dress very well.
Shen Chuwei's face was originally small and delicate, and with the pink dress and hairpin, she looked like a lovely girl carved out of jade, which was particularly likable.
Then, Chunxi drew a peach blossom-shaped flower between her eyebrows, as if she was a peach blossom fairy from the peach blossom forest.
Shen Chuwei stared at the mirror and had to admire Chunxi's ingenuity. Her hair was beautifully tied, and the peach blossom hairpin was not as heavy as the golden hairpin, so she felt good.
"Let's go." Shen Chuwei went to Xinlan Palace with great interest.
This was her second time here, and she was quite familiar with the place.
Xinlan was already laughing. After entering, she saw that they had all arrived and were already chatting.
Chunxi pouted, thinking that Chang Liangdi had deliberately written the time late on the post, causing the young lady to be late alone.
Li Liangdi saw Shen Chuwei coming and teased, "Why did Shen Liangdi come only now? The sisters had arrived a long time ago."
Xu Chenghui covered his mouth and laughed secretly, "Maybe she overslept."
Shen Chuwei and Chang Liangdi and Li Liangdi were of equal rank. If they didn't stand up, she wouldn't have to return the gift.
"It's okay, you guys continue chatting." After saying that, she lifted her skirt and sat down next to Tao Chenghui, rolled up her sleeves and picked up the cakes in front of her to eat.
Chang Liangdi saw Shen Chuwei's actions and chuckled: "Your Highness didn't stay in Xiyun Pavilion last night, how could Shen Liangdi oversleep?"
Shen Chuwei ignored Chang Liangdi's words directly. She didn't come to chat, but to eat. Talking would affect her speed of eating.
Chang Liangdi's face looked a little bad, but she didn't show it because someone would ask.
Xu Chenghui turned his head and asked curiously: "Shen Liangdi, what did you do last night?"
Shen Chuwei took a bite of the cake and said: "Sleep, I don't have to get up early."
Xu Liangyuan raised her handkerchief and smiled secretly: "Xu Chenghui, how is the nectar you collected? There is heavy frost these days, so be careful."
When it comes to this, Xu Chenghui's face looks a little bad. For more than a month, she got up before dawn every day, and even had dark circles under her eyes.
"I'm sorry to have made Sister Xu worried."
Xu Liangyuan adjusted her hairpin and said arrogantly, "You're kidding. I was worried that you hadn't collected the nectar when His Highness needed it."
Due to his low rank, Xu Chenghui could only agree reluctantly, "I'll try my best."
Xu Liangyuan took a sip of the teacup and ignored Xu Chenghui. She looked as if she didn't take Xu Chenghui seriously at all.
Shen Mingzhu saw that Shen Chuwei was only focused on eating. After a while, the side was filled with orange peels and grape peels...
"I heard that the Queen and His Highness wanted to choose one between Chang Liangdi and Shen Liangdi as a concubine. I don't know who will win in the end? Sister, don't just focus on eating, tell me what you think?"
Shen Chuwei said with her cheeks in her eyes: "What's the point of asking me? Why don't you ask Chang Liangdi?"
Shen Mingzhu couldn't help rolling her eyes, but still had a kind smile on the surface: "I'm worried about you. You were raised in the countryside since you were a child and were brought back last year. Many of your country habits can't be changed. I'm afraid you can't cope with it."
Shen Mingzhu deliberately exposed Shen Chuwei's past and made her embarrassed in public.
"No need, thank you." Shen Chuwei lowered her head and continued to eat grapes, not listening to Shen Mingzhu's words at all.
Xu Liangyuan had long been fed up with Shen Mingzhu. She tutted her tongue twice, "Shen Liangyuan keeps calling me country girl, as if she's afraid that others don't know. If they know, they think you care about your sister, but if they don't, they think you dislike her."
Shen Mingzhu's face turned pale, "What do you mean by that?"
Xu Liangyuan calmly took a sip of tea, "Shen Liangyuan is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, how come she can't understand vernacular?"
Shen Mingzhu's face was extremely ugly. Since she was demoted to the same rank as Xu Liangyuan, Xu Liangyuan began to make all kinds of sarcastic remarks.
"Xu Liangyuan, this is Xinlan Palace, you should be more careful when you speak."
Xu Liangyuan didn't seem to be afraid at all, "I'm talking to you, why are you talking about Chang Liangdi?"
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she simply stopped talking, picked up the teacup, and took a few sips of tea to ease the embarrassment.
Shen Chuwei ate grapes while listening to Xu Liangyuan scolding Shen Mingzhu. She was so good at scolding people that she secretly gave Xu Liangyuan a nickname, Xu Duidui.
Chang Liangdi acted as a good person, "Today is a happy day, sisters, please don't hurt the harmony."
Xu Liangyuan nodded in agreement: "Today is indeed a festive day."
Chang Liangdi glanced at Xu Liangyuan coldly, ignored her, picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of tea.
Xu Liangyuan adjusted her hair, still with an arrogant look on her face, "Do you know? The concubine has been selected."
Good night, my dears!
