Chapter 656 I heard it, I heard it again!
Early the next morning, the Xingguo Duke's Mansion became lively. Five ladies from the mansion entered the palace together. What a glorious thing.
Even the third bedroom, who has always been incompatible with the second bedroom, got up early, and everyone around each lady carefully dressed up for her own lady.
The carriage had already been parked outside the mansion and prepared two large carriages.
It was neither early nor late when Shao Wanru came. At that time, Shao Yanru and Shao Jie'er had already arrived. Shao Yanru got on the carriage in front. Shao Jie'er wanted to follow him, but was pulled down by an old lady and asked the carriage behind her. When Shao Wanru came, she was invited to the carriage in front.
Yujie helped her into the carriage. Shao Yanruji sat there in the carriage, her dress was elegant and gorgeous. The eight-shot Hunan skirt was floating and beautiful, and she saw Shao Wanru's light dress with almost one color, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
She thought she was so beautiful and charming. In the past three years, she had been secretly rumored that she was the number one beauty in the capital, and such honor made her very happy.
But Shao Wanru, who was just plain and simple, was dressed in a very simple dress. A few pairs of them were slightly colored, but the inexpensive ornaments were no worse than him. Could it be that his title of No. 1 Beauty was really about to fall on Shao Wanru!
I felt extremely jealous when I remembered my mother's previous instructions and instructions.
"Fifth sister, sit down quickly, and let's leave when the third sister and fourth sister arrive!" I thought so, but my face was not visible, and I waved to Shao Wanru with a smile.
Shao Wanru nodded and sat in the carriage. Yujie followed and jumped onto the carriage.
Not long after they waited, Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing came out and got on the carriage behind. Since the five ladies had all arrived, the carriage slowly turned around, drove out of the gate of Xingguo Mansion, turned to the street, and then turned to the intersection. It was the largest official road in the capital. From there, you can go west and go straight to the palace gate.
In the carriage, Shuqi skillfully took out the tea set from the chariot hidden beside him, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then respectfully pushed it to the two ladies: "Miss, please use tea for the fifth ladies!"
Because we were going to enter the palace, we used some breakfast. Although there were pastries on the table, it was inconvenient to use it at this time, so as not to dye the lips. Only tea can be used slightly.
Shao Wanru did not apply lip color, but her cherry lips were never painted and red. Her lips were bright and bright. It was different from ordinary rouge and powder, and she looked even more charming. Especially when this charming lip color was the only most beautiful color on her body, it made people feel more amazing like the red plum in the snow.
The lips are bright and bright, the skin is as frosty as snow, and it is long like butterflies and has a bit of curly eyelashes. All of them show that Shao Wanru's appearance is extraordinary, with charm in her purity. Shao Yanru is not jealous after seeing it.
Gritting your teeth, biting jealousy into your lips, and then raising your eyes, you have a smile, a hypocritical and dignified and beautiful face, as easy as the wife of the Duke of Xingguo.
"Fifth sister, take a sip. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink tea for a while when I enter the palace!" Shao Yanru smiled, reached out to pick up the teacup in front of her, blocked her long sleeves, took a few sips, then put it down, picked up the handkerchief, carefully pressed it on her lips, and gently pressed the water mark, but she did not press the lip color down.
"Fifth sister, please!" After taking the handkerchief, Shao Yanru gently pushed the teacup in front of Shao Wanru and looked at her with a smile.
Her gentle attitude is a bit of a kind, but it is not too much. It is just right and can't refuse her kindness.
Shao Wanru reached out to pick up the teacup, and was about to drink, but seemed to remember something again, putting down the teacup, "Big sister, grandmother's health is not good today, why didn't we let us go and pay our respects?"
When I went out in the morning, I originally wanted to pay my respects to Mrs. Tai first, but Mrs. Tai sent someone to say that I don’t have to go there today.
"Grandma's health is pretty good. Maybe she can't get up early in the morning, so we don't have to pay our respects!" Shao Yanru said vaguely.
The real situation was that the Madam didn't see anyone else, but she asked her to invite her to rest, and she also specifically told her to tell her how to act in the car and in the palace.
As for the others, the grandmother was worried that they would disturb her and teach Shao Yanru, so she sent someone to find out that they didn't have to come to pay their respects.
Shao Wanru fell silent, her long eyelashes fell down, with a little aggrieved, as if she was sad because the eldest lady refused to let her greet her, and she was speechless for a moment.
"Fifth sister, don't be wronged. Grandma's body is too big and can't stand the cumbersome. It's normal to see you this morning. Come and drink the tea!" Shao Yanru comforted her, and pushed the tea cup in front of her to Shao Wanru.
Shao Wanru was silent for a moment, picked up the teacup and delivered it to her mouth, but she didn't drink it, her eyes were floating, and she didn't know what she remembered, and her delicate facial features were slightly twisted.
"Fifth sister, do you still have any worries?" Shao Yanru asked.
"No!" Shao Wanru shook her head, waved her long sleeves, and like Shao Yanru, she blocked her face and drank a few sips, then put down her long sleeves and the teacup fell down.
Seeing the tea cup that had just flattened, Shao Yanru's smile became more and more intimate.
"Fifth sister, you have never been in the mansion. I'm afraid you don't know what's going on in the palace. I'll tell you about Concubine Shu. You should also pay more attention when entering the palace. Don't offend Concubine Shu."
"Please give me advice!" Shao Wanru said slowly, leaning against the wall of the car behind, and a veil that sucked water between her fingers slid down from her hanging sleeves.
Yujie picked it up quickly and wrapped it with her own veil.
"Although Empress Shufei has a high position in the palace, she has no offspring. In fact, Empress Shufei was pregnant and she was born. But I don't know what happened. The little prince couldn't do it a few days after he was born. It is said that this incident was very big in the palace at that time and involved many people. Don't mention other princes, don't make Empress Shufei unhappy!"
Shao Yanru seemed to be a sister who cared about her sister, and said in detail, and even expressed some suspicions that could not be said outside.
Shao Wanru took another handkerchief that Yujie had changed for herself, and covered it on her lips, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. The tea was obviously drugged. If she hadn't been proficient in pharmacology, she would have really been plotted by Shao Yanru.
This medicine actually doesn't seem anything when it is alone. It only has a faint smell when mixed in the tea. It's difficult to find anything for a while. It's a bit like the bitterness of tea that has been added too much. Today's tea is indeed put too much. There are still a lot of tea leaves in the cup to cover up the smell of medicine.
The hand slowly clasped in the sleeves, and then relaxed, but smiled like a flower again.
This medicine will not be done in ordinary situations, but if it is accompanied by wine, it will erode people's mind and even make people feel drowsy and don't know where they are.
It seems that when I entered the palace today, someone will give me some wine to drink!
"Thank you for your advice!" She listened carefully to Shao Yanru's words, and after she finished speaking, she said calmly, then turned her head and looked at the window with no concern, as if she was enjoying the scenery. She did not believe Shao Yanru's words, but she did not believe them all.
With Shao Yanru's character, it is impossible to say all of them are false. There must be true here. If it is false, then it is said that there is a legend. It is no wonder that Shao Yanru is wrong. After all, she is only heard of legends. This kind of thing is different, and wise people have their own opinions.
If you make a mistake, you will only blame yourself for being unlucky. You can’t blame others!
If Concubine Shu really annoyed herself and made things difficult for her, Shao Yanru was also extremely innocent. Isn’t this the highest level of calculating others?
In her previous life, Shao Yanru repeatedly struggled with herself and punished herself, but others still felt that she should punish herself. It turned out that she did not do well. No wonder she punished her, nor was she cruel, and she had to do it.
"Sister, where is there?" After looking for a while, Shao Wanru suddenly pointed at a place outside the window screen.
"Where is the place?" Shao Yanru couldn't see clearly, but when she heard the question, she came over again.
Shuqi was afraid that she would hit the teacup in front of the table, so she deliberately pulled the small table in front of them a little away. The teacup on the teacup sounded and moved a few times.
Yujie came over to help and helped her carefully move the table back. Although the carriage was moving very steadily and basically did not shake much, it was inconvenient to move it on the carriage.
After the two maids worked together to move the table a little bit, their attention was also attracted by the window building. It was a tower standing tall at the window. It was not very far away, but not very close, but it was extremely noticeable.
"This is a pagoda in the palace. I heard that it was built by the previous dynasty, and it is basically empty now. I heard that it is on the cold palace, and I don't know exactly where it is!" Shao Yanru saw Shao Wanru's doubts clearly at this time, and smiled casually, secretly despised her heart. She didn't even know this pagoda, and she really didn't have much knowledge.
This pagoda is also famous in the palace. Many people can see the pagoda when they look towards the palace. And they heard that the pagoda was also vacant early, and almost everyone in the capital knew about it.
Shao Wanru has been in Beijing for three years, and she doesn't even know about this. It can be seen that she is really far away from the aristocratic circle in Beijing.
"Fifth sister, I heard that the pagoda is still haunted, and I don't know if it is true or the boring people in the palace are talking nonsense." Shao Yanru gently covered her lips with a veil and smiled.
"The palace can also be haunted?" Shao Wanru looked surprised and covered the shock and panic in that moment in her eyes!
"Why can't you? But I'm just hearing about it, and it's been passed down by others, and I don't know whether it's true or not!" Shao Yanru said casually.
