Chapter 044: Long Chong
——
Because Wen Yuezhen happened, the old lady has been worried recently. She has a bad appetite every day and looks much thinner.
The old lady has always had a deep sisterly relationship with the old girl in Lingzhou. She knows that her sister loves the most is the granddaughter Zhen Jie'er. Now that she has let down her sister's instructions, she not only did not find a good marriage for Zhen Jie'er, but also felt wronged that she would be a concubine for Prince Zhou.
How could she not know what kind of reputation Prince Zhou has?
Chen Wu knew that the old lady was in a bad mood, so she went to talk to the old lady every day. Chen Wu also knew that Wen Yuezhen must have been in her heart that she was unwilling to be Prince Zhou’s concubines, so what if she was a noble concubine? After all, she still had to serve her mistress. But she thought: If it weren’t for Fu Zhan, then the person who was shamed at this moment would be herself.
So Chen Wu felt that Wen Yuezhen was taking it upon herself and could not blame others.
Last time, listening to Princess Zhou's meaning, it was probably to let Wen Yuezhen enter the house earlier. However, the old lady felt that even the concubine could not be too wronged by Sister Zhen, so she decided to wait until the spring next year before let Wen Yuezhen leave the house with a decent look.
Next year, the spring of Shen Wu will be fourteen.
The girl from Daqi is a big girl at the age of fourteen, so she can say she has kissed her. But if she has made a marriage earlier, she can get married. Chen Wu always felt that she was just a bride and was still far from getting married. But after Fu Zhan’s appearance, she would be divided into the line where she would get married immediately after the hairpin.
After all, although she is young, Fu Zhan is not young anymore.
Moreover, if Fu Zhan had not been confined, he would have been busy with the marriage between Chen Miao and her after the Spring Festival. But now that such a thing happened to the Qi Palace, the marriage would probably be delayed again, and it would be until the second half of next year as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, there are pros and cons.
She didn't want to marry Fu Zhan at first, so she could only delay for a few days. And these days she listened to her mother and no longer had any contact with Shen Qian and the others. But after all, she lived together, and she would still often encounter him. Sometimes when Chen Wu went to Cun Shanju to pay tribute to the old lady, she would see Wen Yuezhen staying by the old lady as usual, with her beautiful cheeks smiling, and she didn't seem to be depressed because of Prince Zhou's affairs.
She knew that the old lady felt guilty towards Wen Yuezhen, and Wen Yuezhen's actions made the old lady feel even more distressed.
At that time, the slightest sympathy for Wen Yuezhen disappeared now. Because Chen Wu knew that - she, the extremely intelligent cousin Zhen, had already made up her wishful thinking. Even if Wen Yuezhen entered the Zhou Palace, she would not be a slap. Besides, Prince Zhou has not married the prince's concubine yet, so her noble concubine's servants dare not neglect anything.
And these days, Han also firmly controls his daughter, for fear that his daughter will do something stupid.
Chen Wu listened to Han muttering Chen Qian, and she was a fool, which made her laugh and cry. However, Chen Qian was indeed stupid. She came up with such a despicable way to treat her. If she really hurt her reputation, Chen Qian would not look good as a girl from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion.
Chen Wu looked at the days passing by, and suddenly remembered what Fu Zhan said to her at that time. He said he would come to see her on her birthday. Now, it was obviously a big talk. Emperor Jiayuan clearly had no intention of lifting his confinement, but completely forgot about this son who had always valued.
In recent days, Emperor Jiayuan has neglected Concubine Wan for a long time. Since he confined Fu Zhan, it is said that he has never stepped into Concubine Wan's Yihua Palace again.
The favor of these twenty years seems to be gone if there is no.
Chen Wu sat on the embroidery pedestal in front of the makeup box, thinking about these troublesome things. When she lowered her head, she saw the red gold pomegranate bracelet given to her last time.
I don’t know how Fu Zhan has been recently.

Yihua Palace
Pinxiang, wearing a blue palace maid suit, stood respectfully beside Concubine Wan, and said to Concubine Wan, who was holding a jade comb and combing her hair: "Don't worry, Empress, the prince has been doing pretty well in the mansion these days."
Emperor Jiayuan has not stayed at Yihua Palace these days, so Concubine Wan did not dress up deliberately today, and took off all the burdens, but instead felt comfortable physically and mentally. She looked at her plain face in the mirror and suddenly felt a little strange. She thought about being so-called "porn" by that man over the past twenty years, and couldn't help but curl her lips.
If it were in the past, she would not be able to tolerate her arrogant personality, but when she became a mother, she could do anything for her children.
Outsiders all think that this noble Lord of the Nine Five has a special liking for her and is very favored, but only she understands that the emperor is indeed a man of infatuation, but that infatuation does not belong to her. It is probably because she has been in the palace for a long time and has seen too many short-lived scenes, so she knows that the emperor is just using her as a guise, but as long as she looks glorious and favored, it is enough.
She is not a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, so why do she really love her? He asked herself to play with him and protect what he wanted, and what he wanted was a shame.
She was also hypocritical, and after all, she had nothing to complain about in this deal.
"I know." Concubine Wan said lightly. What she knew was that her smart son could not not know. Now it was just a confinement, so naturally her son would not be vulnerable to this level.
Seeing Concubine Wan saying this, Pinxiang thought about it and said, "A few days ago, Miss Shen Liu went to see the prince."
Concubine Wan paused her hand, and she was a little surprised to hear Pinxiang's words. She turned her head and looked at Pinxiang beside her and asked, "What's going on?"
Pinxiang said: "The prince had a bad appetite at that time, and it was thanks to Miss Shen Liu who brought the food to see the prince. It is said that the two of them ate some pastries in the yard, and then the prince's appetite gradually improved. Recently, they still liked to eat sweets."
Hearing this, Concubine Wan couldn't help but smile.
From childhood to adulthood, her son didn't like to eat sweet and greasy things the most, so she naturally knew. Miss Shen Liu is very capable now. But this girl Shen Liu was indeed beyond her expectations. Last time in Huaze Mountain, she said that she was "uneducated" in front of so many people. Logically speaking, this girl Shen Liu must have remembered it in her heart, but now she goes to see her son regardless of her reputation.
It is false to say that he is not moved. At this critical moment, he went to the Qi Palace. Why not a fool? Concubine Wan thought: After all, the person his son likes will not be much worse. At that time, she felt a little uncomfortable because she saw that her son was so concerned about this Miss Shen Liu, so she hated Miss Shen Liu with preconceived ideas.
As he was talking, he heard a voice outside saying "The Emperor is here."
Concubine Wan was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect the emperor to come at this time.
But at this moment she had no time to dress up, so she got up from the embroidered dormitory to pick up the car. Concubine Wan saw Emperor Jiayuan wearing a bright yellow dragon robe walking in and immediately bent down: "I welcome the emperor."
Emperor Jiayuan looked at Concubine Wan who was in front of him, and was a little dazed for a moment.
Over the years, he had long forgotten her elegant appearance. Every time he came to the palace, she would dress up carefully. I have to say that Concubine Wan was indeed a beautiful beauty. After dressing up, she became more and more dazzling and could not take her eyes off her eyes. But at this moment, she was wearing a light apricot-colored outer shirt embroidered with bamboo leaves, and a magnolia hairpin was inserted on her black bun. Her face was clean and she had no makeup on at all, which was completely different from her usual beauty.
...This is what she really looks like.
Emperor Jiayuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly helped Concubine Wan up, and said in a dark voice: "Don't be too polite to be a concubine, get up."
Concubine Wan lowered her head quietly, looking shy and pretty. When Emperor Jiayuan approached, her body couldn't help but tremble. She didn't like the touch of this man at all, but when she thought of her son, Concubine Wan held back the disgust in her heart.
Yes, disgusting.
She has loved to make incense since she was a child, so she is particularly sensitive to various auras. The man in front of her is now whispering a concubine, but there is a faint fragrance of plum blossoms on her body.
