Chapter 332 That’s a Great Gift
"So? You want to say that the Queen kicked you out and asked me to take you in?"
Shen Zhishu frowned.
There were thousands of women bullied by the Queen, Yunmeng in front and her in the back.
But Yunmeng and her are completely different.
"I only ask that you give me a chance to live."
She took two steps back and kowtowed solemnly.
"I have never blocked your path, so how can I give you a way to live?"
She said this as if Shen Zhishu was not letting her have an easy life.
"My lady..."
"I think you should think about where to live after leaving Jiaomu Palace. The emperor is not a heartless person. If you take the initiative to ask for this little thing, the emperor will not refuse."
So she didn't want to have anything to do with her.
Wanpin looked lost.
"Thank you for your advice, Madam. If you want to learn the pipa, I will teach you everything I know."
Although her hand was injured, she still had a mouth.
Shen Zhishu was already proficient in music, so it was not difficult to teach him.
And so the whole afternoon passed.
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty is so talented. I believe that she will achieve great success in the near future."
When leaving, Wanpin spoke very seriously.
It seemed like he was truly amazed and not just pretending to flatter.
"That requires a good teacher, right? Bi Tao, go get the things I have prepared."
She stood up and stretched out a little.
I've been sitting for a whole afternoon and I feel a little tired.
Immediately afterwards, Bitao brought out a string of crystal clear, round and plump pink pearls.
Each drop is a uniform pink color, as if it were completely soaked in blood.
"This is a thank you gift. Wanpin has fair skin, and pink suits you best."
When she saw Zhenzhu, Concubine Wan was stunned for a moment.
Pink pearls are the rarest, with just one being worth a hundred taels of silver, and here there is a whole string of thirty of them.
When she was at home before, she happened to see the lady of the Shangshu Mansion wearing a pearl hairpin inlaid with pink pearls, which was very exquisite and beautiful.
A string of pearls costs three thousand taels, how can she afford it?
Now, she actually has a whole bunch of them?
"My lady, this gift is too expensive. I cannot afford it."
Even if all her current possessions were added together, they would not be as valuable as this string of pink pearls.
"As the saying goes, a thousand gold cannot buy what one loves. I love the songs you play very much. When your hands get better, play a few more for me."
Shen Zhishu, without saying anything, pulled up her injured hand, put it into his hand, and circled it three times.
The pink pearls on her fair wrists were really beautiful and glowing.
Wanpin was shocked by her generosity.
It was clear that she refused when I asked her for protection just now, so why is she so generous now?
The family background of Concubine Xian isn’t that good, right?
Although the emperor gave her many gifts, she would never give herself the gifts given by the emperor...
I didn't even realize how Concubine Wan left.
When he returned to Jiaomu Palace, he faced the Queen.
She subconsciously hid the pink pearl in her sleeve, fearing that it would be discovered and difficult to explain.
"It seems that you and Concubine Xian are getting along quite well."
"My lady, I cried to Consort Xian according to what you told me, but she had no intention of taking me in. I'm afraid she won't keep me by her side."
"Why are you in such a hurry? There is still a long way to go. She refuses you now because she doesn't trust you enough. When she finds out that I have really broken up with you, she will definitely ask for your help. Concubine Xian is a hypocrite and she loves to steal my things."
Su Rong didn't care.
His eyes also glanced across her sleeves.
It takes real talent to lie without blushing, without getting nervous or out of breath.
"I am really useless. The Queen has clearly explained everything, but I still cannot gain the trust of the Concubine."
There were tears in Wanpin's eyes, and she looked like she wanted to cry but didn't dare to.
"Did she tell you anything?"
It seems that she is not ready to confess.
She had the idea of betrayal so quickly. The women here really have no affection at all. It was a pity that she had saved him from danger before.
Wanpin didn't hide anything and told Concubine Xian in detail what she had said to reject her.
Except for giving the pearls at the end, everything she said was true.
But it’s not the case with Su Rong.
"So where does she think you should live?"
"She didn't say anything, she just reminded me to find a way out myself. In your opinion, what should I do?"
"Since I was the one who kicked you out, how can I give you advice? You should think for yourself and do it yourself."
Su Rong said lightly.
She didn't believe that even after reminding her to this point, Shen Zhishu still didn't give her a way out.
She wanted to see who Concubine Wan was going to look for.
"Okay, prepare yourself. I'll catch you when we find a place to go."
If someone has two minds, then he won’t be that useful anymore.
Concubine Wan returned to her side hall, took out the priceless string of pink pearls, and looked at it with fascination.
"I have been with the Empress for so long, and I have tried my best to win the Emperor's favor, but she only praised me verbally and never gave me any real help. The Concubine Xian is really generous. She only gave me pearls as a gift after I learned pipa for one day."
She couldn't help muttering to herself.
"If I had met a confidant like the Concubine Xian earlier, maybe I wouldn't have to enter the palace. With my talent and knowledge, I could have achieved something."
"It's too late. It's too late..."
She shook her head and sighed.
"You should think about your current situation, and why Concubine Xian sent such a valuable gift..."
Seeing that she was never going to stop, the maid Xiao Cui couldn't help but remind her.
"Why? Are you willing to use such a generous gift to frame others? The queen must want to win me over, but now is not a good time."
She spoke to herself with a faint smile on her face, seeming very happy.
Then take out the scissors and cut the thread.
Place the pink pearls in a box.
She pinched one out and played with it in her hand for a long time before handing it to Xiao Cui.
"Whether we can live a good life in the future depends on you, Xiao Cui. Take these two beads and leave the palace. We must get back what we suffered in the Lan Mansion."
She once vowed that as long as she had the ability, she would immediately seek redress for all the grievances she had suffered in the past.
Xiao Cui put away hers.
"Okay, I won't let you down, Master."
One pink pearl is worth one hundred taels of silver. This is the first time she has received such a huge reward, so she will definitely do her best to do things for her.
She took the two pink pearls in one hand and quietly left the palace.
I’m afraid even Su Rong didn’t notice.
Not only does Concubine Wan look like Shen Zhishu, even her maid is somewhat similar to Xiaodie.
In Kunning Palace.
Bi Tao, who was in charge of keeping her master's private property, was unhappy.
Thousands of taels were gone in an instant. Even mountains of gold and silver would not be enough to cover such waste.
Especially the money given to the queen's lackeys, it's not worth it.
"I think you still have to give me an explanation."
After thinking for a long time, Bitao couldn't help but run to Shen Zhishu and asked with a wronged look on her face.
It seemed that she was the one who lost thousands of taels of silver.
