Three days later, Liang Ci came to visit and saw that Lu Xingyue was not here, so he did not stay long. After Shen Lansui finished treating him, he immediately said goodbye.
Shen Lansui walked him to the entrance of the main hall and said: "The general's old illness is almost healed. If you exercise more regularly and keep warm in the future, there will be no big problem. You can rest assured."
Liang Ci bowed deeply and said sincerely: "I have been troubled by my old illness for many years. Fortunately, my wife helped me. I am very grateful. If I can be of any use in the future, please let me know. I will definitely help if I can."
Shen Lansui was not polite to him either. Yangdu was a place that relied on favors. It was easy to do things with many friends, and they might be used one day.
She smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll take note of this. General, walk slowly."
Liang Ci turned around to leave, then thought of something and turned around and whispered: "I forgot to remind Lu Xingyue before, but now that he is not at home, I would like to ask, Madam, are you going to the East Palace for a banquet?"
"The general also received the invitation?" Shen Lansui asked.
Liang Ci nodded, "The prince has invited many people, and I am one of them."
Shen Lansui understood this, so she said that it was impossible for the prince to associate with the powerful general so blatantly. If many people were invited, all of them were from the younger generation, it could be said that the young people had good relations.
"What does the general want to remind my husband?" Shen Lan smiled and said, "Just tell me and I will tell him."
Liang Ci looked at her deeply, "No, in fact, the main thing is to remind Madam - be careful of His Highness the Fifth."
Shen Lansui was stunned for a moment, and her mind was spinning, what does Liang Ci mean? What did he know? He shouldn't know about the Gu insect. Did Princess Rong Zhao tell him?
Liang Ci didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her confused and a little shocked, Liang Ci patiently explained: "His Fifth Highness has an impure mind. You must be careful when you see him in the future."
Wait—not pure of heart?
Shen Lansui was keenly aware of something unusual.
After Liang Ci finished speaking, he turned around and left without saying another word.
Shen Lansui stood in the corridor and looked at his back, thoughtfully.
However, it wasn't until she went to the East Palace for a banquet and met the fifth prince that she truly understood the meaning of Liang Ci's words.
*
When a prince of a country takes a concubine, he still needs to have the due respect.
On the day Shen Hanfang came over, it cleared up early in the morning and the sun was shining brightly, making people feel comfortable just looking at it.
Shen Hanfang sat in front of the dressing table in the boudoir, looking at herself in the mirror with a hairpin and a crown, and couldn't help but smile.
The maid said: "Miss, she is so beautiful today, she looks like a fairy walking out of a painting."
Shen Hanfang plucked the tassel hanging down by her ears, her expression could not hide her pride, "After today, I will be from the East Palace."
The maid echoed: "My lady's good days are yet to come, and the days ahead are extremely precious."
After hearing this, Shen Hanfang raised her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror, and whispered: "I heard that the Crown Princess is mediocre in appearance and has never been liked by the Crown Prince. The two of them treat each other with respect. If she hadn't given birth to a good child, she wouldn't have been able to suppress me. One end? "
"Fourth sister should be careful what she says. Once these words reach the ears of the Crown Princess, she will only have to raise her hand to dispose of a concubine." Shen Xiyun came in from the door and glanced at her coldly.
Shen Hanfang was startled and stood up quickly, "Second sister? Why did you come in?"
"I was afraid that you were not clear-headed, so I told my parents that I would come and take you out in person."
Shen Xiyun looked her up and down, looking at her pink wedding dress with mockery in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her eyes to cover it up, so Shen Hanfang didn't notice.
"Second sister, what are you talking about? Why am I not thinking clearly?" Shen Hanfang felt that she was immediately from the East Palace, and she was not as respectful and flattering to Shen Xiyun as before.
Shen Xiyun noticed it and cursed the idiot in his heart.
She gave the maid a look, and the maid immediately withdrew, leaving only the two sisters in the boudoir.
Shen Xiyun came closer, stroked the embroidered pattern on her shoulder, and whispered: "You are going to be a concubine, so you have to have some awareness of being a concubine. If you disrespect your mistress or provoke the Crown Princess, even the Crown Prince will not be able to protect you." , after all, the Crown Princess’s family background is there. Offending her is tantamount to offending her mother clan and offending the queen. You also know the tricks in the back house. The most terrifying thing is not death, but the fact that people are still alive. Be silent."
Shen Hanfang looked into her dark eyes, couldn't help but shuddered, and took a step back, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing interesting. I just remind you to be careful in your words and deeds. You can't write two characters in one sentence. If you cause any trouble in the East Palace and implicate us, I won't let you go." Shen Xiyun said with a smile. .
Shen Hanfang: "..."
Her face turned slightly pale, but she was still afraid of this sister.
"But you don't have to be too afraid. As long as you stay on your own terms, give the prince a son and a half, and your position is stable, there won't be any big problems. After you go, open your eyes a little brighter, talk less, see more, and listen more. If you get No, just ask Daukou next to you, she was trained by my mother and will never harm you, do you understand?"
Shen Xiyun suddenly held Shen Hanfang's hand.
Shen Hanfang said humbly: "I know."
"Be good." Shen Xiyun smiled, took off a jade bracelet from his wrist and put it on her, "Let's go."
When she was in the uncle's house, Shen Hanfang didn't feel like a concubine. It was only after she left the house that she realized the difference between superiority and inferiority.
The first wife is married by a bright matchmaker. She carries a sedan chair for eight years and wears a red dress for ten miles.
When she arrived, the dowry had shrunk by more than half, the wedding sedan was also a lot smaller, and the color was no longer bright red.
When we arrived at the East Palace, we couldn't even go through the main entrance. We had to humbly enter through the side door and be carried directly to her courtyard.
After entering the new house and sitting on the bed, Shen Hanfang realized that she felt a little aggrieved.
The two maids she brought with her, Daukou and Chudan, stood aside awkwardly, watching the nuns from the East Palace leave before they dared to talk to Shen Hanfang.
"How is it, miss?"
Shen Hanfang asked in a low voice: "Is Your Highness here?"
Daukou shook his head, "I heard that we are entertaining guests in the front yard. The Crown Princess and the female guests will come over soon."
"Female guest?" Shen Hanfang lowered her eyes in disappointment. She didn't know many noble ladies, and she knew that the ones who came were all high-status people. She would be terribly embarrassed by then?
At this time, she missed Shen Xiyun a little bit.
*
Shen Xiyun was sitting in the front hall at this time, listening to the Crown Princess speak with a smile.
The Crown Princess is the daughter of the elders of two dynasties, and her ancestors also gave birth to princes and nobles. She is a truly noble lady from a high family, with a transcendent status.
Even though her appearance is not outstanding, her temperament is the best.
As soon as you sit there, the aura of nobility rushes towards your face.
The people sitting below were all the married women who had good friends with her in the past. At this time, you and I were chatting about family affairs, but no one mentioned Shen Hanfang.
Shen Xiyun couldn't interrupt, so she listened quietly.
While everyone was chatting, a maid in pink clothes came in, leaned forward and said, "My dear, Madam Mingyinghou is here."
