Chapter 31: bet
Chapter 31
Chen Shuxian and the others kept walking in front of them. Of course, the persimmon had to be picked up first, so they didn't dare to take Feng Yinshuang directly, but now Shen Ying was obviously a thorn in their side.
"Why, it seems that what Miss Ben said to you that day was not clear enough, so that you don't even know what propriety, righteousness and shame are, and it's fine if you don't reflect on the wall at home, and now you dare to come to the palace, just because of your identity. Does it fit too?"
Shen Ying just said lightly: "I didn't do anything wrong, so I don't need to reflect on it. If Miss Chen is so sensible, she might as well be alert to herself, how to win the favor of the second prince and become the second princess in the future. Woolen cloth?"
It is well known that Chen Shuxian likes the second prince Nan Yuchen, but the second prince only knows how to read books or talk to a group of literati about poetry and songs, or play the piano and paint, and is not obsessed with women's lust.
He is not too young, and the emperor hoped that he could marry as soon as possible, but he refused.
Chen Shuxian pursued the second prince wholeheartedly, but every time the second prince saw her, her attitude was very cold. On the surface, everyone didn't want to say anything because of Chen Guogong's face, but they didn't know how to talk about it behind the scenes. state, where is there a dignified and virtuous image.
Her name, Chen Shuxian, has also become a laughing stock for everyone after dinner.
"You..." Chen Shuxian's eyes widened in anger. She dared to use the second prince's affairs to block her. She was really bold.
Suddenly, she smiled coldly again: "I said how can you be so articulate now, it turns out that you have a new backer, and as expected, hugging the Feng family's thigh, the whole person immediately has confidence, the second prince will definitely see me in the future. His sincerity is you, his reputation has been ruined, his chastity has been lost, and even the beggars on the street will not even look at you in the future."
It's just too much for her to talk like that.
It's no wonder that Ying'er is so angry for Shen Ying, even Feng Yinshuang can't help trembling a little when she hears it.
"Ms. Chen's words are too early to say. The wrong marriage of the sedan chair was an accident. Miss Shen was not at fault. Besides, she has now cut off contact with the third prince and King Qingping. Everything stems from a mistake. To say that her reputation has been ruined? Miss Shen is knowledgeable and fair, and it is their loss for not marrying her. This shows that Miss Shen deserves better people to cherish her. The third prince and King Qingping are not her benefactors. "
Shen Ying was very moved by her words.
In her heart, Feng Yinshuang not only saved her life, but now she is helping her to save face and stand up for her. To know such a good sister, she really has no regrets in her death.
Chen Shuxian suddenly sneered: "What is it that is cheap and good-looking, I've seen it today, what you said is so high-sounding, but you gave your two men to your good sisters, if you really take sisterhood so seriously, you Why don't you help her out and find a husband to marry her off!"
Feng Yinshuang's face suddenly became slightly solemn, and her tone also contained a hint of coldness: "I said, she deserves better, let's wait and see."
"Don't talk so nicely, what if you can't find a better marriage for her and marry her off, why don't we make a bet?"
"Just bet!" Feng Yinshuang said this, Shen Ying pulled her sleeve a little worriedly, but Feng Yinshuang gave her a reassuring look.
At this time, there was a group of people around, and everyone had a heart for gossip. After hearing their topic, they were very interested, and wanted to see how they would end up like this and how it would end.
"Okay, then marry her out for a month. If you can't do it, you will be my maid, and you can do whatever I ask you to do."
"No problem, but if you lose..." Feng Yinshuang's tone became slightly gloomy, "I want your tongue so that I won't hear any nonsense from your mouth in the future."
what! Everyone was in an uproar, including Chen Shuxian, who turned pale with fright.
Feng Yinshuang, the eldest lady of the Feng family, is rumored to be loved by thousands of people. She has an unruly and willful personality. How can she be so cruel and **** now? Does she mean to cut off Chen Shuxian's tongue?
"Tell you, I won't lose, just wait and be a maid for me for a month." Chen Shuxian tried her best to hide her panic, and quickly led people out of here.
With Shen Ying's current reputation, no one would want her even if she married an ordinary commoner. No matter how powerful Feng Yinshuang was, she would never have this ability, not to mention that their gambling contract was to find a match for Shen Ying. A better marriage, better than the third prince and King Qingping? It's impossible to think about it, she has nothing to fear.
…
"Sister Yinshuang, in fact, you don't need to be angry with her for me, let alone make a bet with her, my reputation is ruined now, and it is destined that there will be no marriage in the future. Even if someone may want to marry me regardless of my reputation, But when you think that I am someone who was divorced by the Third Prince and King Qingping, you will be scared away, you will definitely lose this bet."
Shen Ying obviously didn't have any confidence in herself, and she felt that it would be over now.
If Feng Yinshuang really went to be Chen Shuxian's maid because of her, and was humiliated by her, then she would definitely have a bad conscience.
"How can you grow other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige, don't you believe me at all?" Feng Yinshuang said dissatisfied.
"No, of course I believe you, and I know that you are doing this because of me, but..." Shen Ying was still a little hesitant, not knowing what to say.
"No but, since you believe in me, you have to believe it to the end. Now you have been implicated by me, so you have become what you are now, so I will never sit idly by, don't worry, I will definitely find you one. A good family."
Su Manrou was silent on the side, but her tight silk spa leaked her thoughts.
She was going crazy with jealousy, because Feng Yinshuang had never been so kind to her.
Before, she gave her a lot of things, all kinds of jewelry, jewelry, beautiful cloth and gorgeous clothes, but in Su Manrou's view, these are all empty, and they will always run out. Shen Ying worked so **** things and promised to find a good marriage for her. Why didn't she think about being so good to her before?
Although Feng Yinshuang asked the third prince to admit her into the palace a few days ago, she was still a lady, but now seeing her attitude towards Shen Ying, she also said that she wanted to find a better marriage than Prince Qingping and the third prince. Doesn't it mean that that person is more honorable than them.
Could it be that Feng Yinshuang's purpose in letting Shen Ying enter the palace is to make her marry the emperor as a concubine?
God, what an unattainable existence the emperor is for a person of her status. If Shen Ying really becomes the emperor's concubine, then she will have to kneel and salute when she sees her.
She was originally very proud of being able to marry the third prince, but now she is suddenly not satisfied.
…
Before the palace banquet started, Feng Yinshuang first went to Concubine Xian's bedroom, Chaoxia Palace, to visit Concubine Xian.
Today is her birthday, and she is also the protagonist of today's palace banquet, so she naturally has to dress up more gorgeously.
Even with rouge gouache on her face, it is difficult to hide the morbid pallor on her face, and even so, it does not affect her beauty in the slightest.
"Shuang'er greets the concubine Xian." Feng Yinshuang went up first and gave a proper salute.
"Get up, get up." As soon as Concubine Xian saw her, a gratified smile appeared on her face, "Shuang'er, I was a little worried after hearing your second sister-in-law say that you are safe now, but now I see Now that you look so good, and you are more energetic than before, I will feel more at ease."
Feng Yinshuang immediately walked over and snuggled up on her shoulder as coquettishly as before.
"Sister, I'm sorry for making you worry about me. Fortunately, the emperor has a deep understanding of righteousness and justice for me, and nothing will happen now."
"It's fine."
Concubine Xian has a distinguished status, but she has never shown any air in front of Feng Yinshuang, like an approachable sister next door.
Shen Ying just nodded and stood on the side, but Su Manrou immediately leaned forward flatteringly.
"Happy birthday, Concubine Xian, and Rou'er wishes her good health and her holy favor."
"I have a heart." Concubine Xian just smiled lightly, and didn't pay too much attention to her.
Concubine Xian has been in the palace for many years, and she has never seen any kind of people. As for some flattering words, she is tired of hearing them.
But she was not unfamiliar with Su Manrou. She had always been by Feng Yinshuang's side before, and she brought it with her every time she entered the palace. Later, she learned some things about Su Manrou from her younger sister, Feng Yinshuang's second sister-in-law, and she obviously didn't have a good impression.
At this time, her beautiful eyes glanced lightly, and then fell on Shen Ying's body.
"What a dignified and beautiful woman, Shuang'er, is she also your friend? Why haven't you seen her before."
"Sister, I was just about to introduce you. She is Shen Ying, that is, the Miss Shen who got on the wrong sedan chair with me. We have never met before, but we met by chance, and I think it is fate. , I married Jin Lan and became a good sister, and it was my sister's birthday today, so I brought her into the palace to see my sister."
At this time, Shen Ying came forward and saluted: "Little daughter Shen Ying greets the concubine Xian."
This is the etiquette that everyone should have!
Unlike Su Manrou, whose eyes are too lustful and flattering, Shen Ying is completely different from her. It is precisely because of the comparison that she can show how good Shen Ying is.
Concubine Xian has always been very accurate in seeing people, so when she saw Shen Ying for the first time, she already had a certain impression of her in her heart.
"Since you have already married Shuang'er, you can also call Ben Gong's sister with Shuang'er. In the future, you can often accompany her into the palace to visit Ben Gong."
Shen Ying was naturally flattered, what a noble status of Concubine Xian, how could she be worthy of being her sister? But now she can only kneel down and kowtow to thank her, and she didn't get carried away and forgot her sense of proportion. Concubine Xian was naturally very satisfied when she saw that she was so knowledgeable and knew how to advance and retreat.
