My Lady is well

Shen Yueyao suddenly lost her balance and staggered forward two steps before she could stand firm.

She covered her chest and thought to herself, what a close call, I almost hit someone.

Her eyes moved as she looked around to see the strange looks coming from all directions.

Aunt Shang said expressionlessly.

"Ms. Shen, you will be punished to kneel for one hour."

Shen Yueyao composed herself, walked forward and looked at her calmly.

"Aunt Shang, your way of dealing with things is unfair. It was clearly the concubine behind me who bumped into me, causing the bowl to fall to the ground. Why do you punish me but not her?"

Aunt Shang's face darkened, and she looked at Wei Cainv behind her with solemnity and majesty.

"Wei Cainv, did you push Shen Cainv just now?"

Wei Cainv lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, and she nodded timidly, not daring to answer.

Shen Yueyao felt that this Cainu looked familiar, and in the blink of an eye she remembered that she was the Wei Cainu who was bullied by Wan Cainu yesterday.

Wei Cainv twitched her lips frequently and said timidly.

"I...I didn't."

Shen Yueyao snorted in her heart, this Wei Cainv looked like an innocent little white rabbit, very lovable, but she didn't expect that she was actually a black lotus.

"There are so many people here, and your position is not very secret, so someone will see you."

Shen Yueyao glanced at the people present, and saw the Cainu behind Wan Cainv looked at her, seemed to want to say something but stopped, and then lowered her head.

It seems that she wants to protect herself and is unwilling to come forward to testify.

Xu Niannian stood up, walked to her side and said to Wei Cainv.

"I believe Sister Shen, it must be you who pushed her."

However, Sun Cainv thought that Shen Yueyao was bullying Wei Cainv and wanted to drag her into the water, so she stood in front of Wei Cainv and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Shen Cainu herself has a bad appearance, but she wants to drag others into it. What's the logic behind this?"

Even Wan Cainü, who usually doesn't get along with her, is now in cahoots with her.

"That's right. Shen Cainu is the daughter of a merchant. It would be better if she didn't bring the outside world's vulgarity into the palace."

Xu Niannian said angrily: "You guys!"

"Ah?! Shen Cainu is the daughter of a merchant?! How did she enter the palace?"

"This... is a bit too unpresentable."

"..."

Shen Yueyao listened quietly to the discussions around her. From their tone, she could tell that they had completely convicted her just because she was the daughter of a merchant. She couldn't help but laugh.

Aunt Shang slammed the ruler in her hand heavily on the edge of the mahogany table beside her, signaling everyone to be quiet.

She thought about it for a moment and looked at Shen Yueyao and said.

"Shen Cainu should be more self-aware and not make herself look too ugly."

Shen Yueyao was about to speak when she suddenly heard a eunuch behind her speak loudly.

"Is Shen Cainu here?"

Aunt Shang recognized the visitor as Eunuch Ma from the Empress Dowager's palace and went to greet him immediately.

"Eunuch Ma, what brings you here?"

Eunuch Ma was a favorite of the Queen Mother and never took other palace servants seriously. He glanced at her impatiently.

"Didn't I just say it? Look for Shen Cainv."

Aunt Shang frowned slightly and looked at Shen Yueyao behind her, secretly guessing her background.

Shen Yueyao walked forward and asked slowly and calmly.

"What does father-in-law want from me?"

Eunuch Ma immediately smiled and said, bending over.

"The Empress Dowager feels sorry for you and is worried that you are being wronged in Yingxiu Palace, so she asked me to bring you some things. Come on, bring them in."

A group of eunuchs held some brocade, hairpins, jade bracelets, hairpins, as well as soft pillows, embroidered quilts and other valuables.

The concubines behind were all shocked and whispered to each other.

"The Queen Mother? ... What is her origin?"

"Looking at this situation, how could she be just a small merchant girl?"

"I...I seem to have seen her in the East Palace."

"Eastern Palace? Could she be..."

"..."

The woman behind Wan Cainv saw that Shen Yueyao had an extraordinary background, and stood up in panic.

"What I just saw was indeed Wei Cainv pushing Shen Cainv..."

Sun Cainü thought that she was thinking that Shen Yueyao had someone backing her up, and that she was wrongly framing Wei Cainü in order to curry favor with her, and she said contemptuously.

"Flattery."

"it is true."

"Then why didn't you say it just now?"

"I'm afraid..."

Shen Yueyao sneered in her heart. When Eunuch Ma came, justice came with him.

Eunuch Ma ignored them and just looked at Shen Yueyao. Seeing that she was dressed too plainly, he said softly with a smile.

"Shen Cainu, would you like to get ready? We have to go to Shou'an Palace to express our gratitude in a while."

Shen Yueyao glanced at Aunt Shang beside her, frowned, and said helplessly.

"Please go back to Shou'an Palace first, Eunuch Ma. Please wait for an hour, Queen Mother. I will come over after I have been punished."

Eunuch Ma was startled. What was that? He laughed.

"Shen Cainu is joking. How can we let the Queen Mother wait?"

He glanced at Aunt Shang, who was lowering her head and looking submissive, and cursed.

"How can Shen Cainu be punished for being such a fool? Can you make the Queen Mother wait?"

Aunt Shang glanced at Shen Yueyao, then lowered her head and said in fear.

"Since Luo Cainv said that it was Wei Cainv who pushed Shen Cainv, Shen Cainv is naturally innocent and does not need to be punished."

Shen Yueyao glanced at her coldly. Seeing her dignified appearance, she originally thought that she was just a little pedantic, but she never thought that she was also a sycophant.

Well, it saves me a lot of trouble.

Shen Yueyao returned to Luhua Pavilion and washed up briefly, then changed into a dress of soft green gauze, a winding moon-white skirt made of orchids, and a piece of soft gauze that showed off her slender waist.

The jade hairpin is lightly held, and a long chain as thin as raindrops hangs from the tip of the embellished hairpin. It sways gently, and is as ethereal as the rain.

Even though Eunuch Ma had been used to seeing beauties in the palace for many years, he couldn't help but praise her.

"Oh, Shen Cainv is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the fairy in the painting."

Shen Yueyao heard the flattery and smiled gently.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Now the Empress Dowager is willing to reward her, probably because Jing Ruzhang did not tell the Empress Dowager about her escape.

Walking on the long palace road, Shen Yueyao's thoughts drifted away.

Suddenly I remembered that day when Jing Ruzhang said, "Don't let me see you again." In fact, the imperial palace is so big that as long as you don't want to see him, you will not be able to see him.

It's good like this, being a minor supporting role that no one cares about, repeating the same thing in Yingxiu Palace every day, and no longer having any intersection with him.

Time is quiet and the years are peaceful.

Shen Yueyao lowered her head and forced a faint smile.

Eunuch Ma had sharp eyes and saw the emperor's carriage from afar and spoke hurriedly.

"Ms. Shen, the emperor is in front of us. You need to bow and give way."

Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said in a low voice.

"understood."

Jing Ruzhang leaned against the spacious imperial carriage, with the bright yellow tent embroidered with golden dragons tied together by golden hooks.

His slender fingers were touching his forehead, there seemed to be fatigue between his cold brows, and his eyes were half-closed.

His eyes swept over the pretty figure kneeling by the roadside and saw that she lowered her brows and head, turning her head slightly away.

My heart suddenly tightened and my brows were furrowed.
