Chapter 180 Playing a trick on others
Chapter 180 Playing a trick on others
Can a weak woman manipulate everyone?
Shen Yan found it ridiculous when he thought about it, but soon, Shen Yan's face changed instantly, and he looked ahead in disbelief. Even Shen Yan and Concubine Liu's faces changed.
A carriage had stopped at the gate of the Shen family, and I didn't even know how long I had been watching the excitement.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the phoenix on the carriage is the carriage of the Empress Dowager. After all, the Empress has been gone for many years and the Emperor has never had another empress, so the only one who can use the phoenix is the Empress Dowager.
He Qicheng, who was standing next to the carriage, was the eunuch beside the Empress Dowager and the person she trusted the most.
At this moment, Shen Yan seemed even more passive. Shen Changsheng had already taken the initiative to look at He Qicheng: "Eunuch He, what brings you to the capital?"
Shen Changsheng was calm, but the panic in his eyes was obvious.
Only Shen Muyin stood there quietly. All this was within his expectations.
She naturally knew that He Qicheng was coming to pick her up. She had won the first prize in Marseille. Most importantly, the ambiguity between herself and the Eastern Palace naturally alarmed the current Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother wanted to summon me into the palace and ask me questions in person.
Although the Queen Mother no longer interferes in anything, she is still concerned about the prince's marriage.
But over the years, the Eastern Palace has really not given the Queen Mother any chance to care about her. Now that clues have appeared, how could the Queen Mother not pay attention?
So Shen Muyin knew very well that the Queen Mother would definitely summon him into the palace, and would not wait too long.
She had very good hearing and could hear the sound of horse hooves coming in this direction from far away, which was why she allowed Shen Yan to act so unruly in front of her.
This is nothing more than telling the people around the Queen Mother what her position is in the Shen family. If something happens in the future, these people will be her witnesses, proving the Shen family's injustice and exclusion towards her.
Then many things seemed to be natural.
Shen Muyin thought about it, standing there calmly and quietly, as if he had no objection at all, looking well-behaved and obedient.
Anyone who saw this felt that Shen Muyin had been wronged, and Eunuch He was no exception.
Before he came, he had heard that the Shen family favored the second Miss Shen and treated Shen Muyin indifferently. In addition, Shen Muyin was not the child of the second wife, so the difference was naturally obvious.
Under such circumstances, Eunuch He saw Shen Yan scolding Shen Muyin from a distance.
Oh, this is too much. They are so disrespectful to the future Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. One can imagine how reckless the people of the Shen family would be if Shen Muyin really became the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace.
Eunuch He is also an old man in the palace. He has served the Empress Dowager all his life and is very familiar with all the monsters in the palace.
Not all people who appear to be honest and clean are really that clean. Can the Shen family escape this?
However, Eunuch He remained calm on the surface, smiling as he said, "Sir Shen, I am here on the orders of the Empress Dowager to summon Miss Shen to the palace."
These words made Shen Changsheng's face change, but on the surface he remained calm: "Eunuch He, I am deeply terrified that this servant could be summoned into the palace by the Empress Dowager."
"Her Majesty always summons the girl who wins the first prize in horse racing to the palace, so Lord Shen doesn't have to worry." Eunuch He finished his words with a smile.
Shen Changsheng nodded, but he had no other options for the current situation. The Queen Mother's order could not be disobeyed, but he thought that the Queen Mother would not allow Shen Muyin to enter the palace for too long, just a few days, which would not delay anything.
That person wanted to take action after the Ghost Festival.
But what Shen Changsheng was afraid of was that Shen Zhenzhen was still in the Heavenly Prison. If Shen Muyin went in, would there be any problems again?
"Indeed, it is an honor for the Shen family that the Queen likes Mu Yin." Shen Changsheng also seemed very hypocritical.
Eunuch He just stood there, not saying anything more. Then he looked at Shen Muyin and said, "Miss Shen, please get ready. I will wait for you here and take you to the palace."
"But..." Shen Muyin just looked at Eunuch He quietly.
"If you have something to say, just tell me directly." Eunuch He was very polite to Shen Muyin.
Seeing this, Shen Changsheng immediately said, "It is your blessing that the Queen Mother summoned you to the palace. What else can you do? If it gets out, people will say that it is the Shen family that did not allow you to enter the palace."
Although Shen Changsheng was reluctant, he could only do his superficial work.
What Shen Muyin wanted was Shen Changsheng's attitude. After all, she knew very well that she would not be so honest after entering the palace.
If something happened to Shen Zhenzhen, the Shen family would not be able to blame Shen Muyin, after all, Shen Changsheng agreed to it.
If Concubine Liu makes a fuss at that time, I will have no choice but to swallow my anger and have nowhere to vent it.
"Okay." Shen Muyin nodded. "I'm just worried. Zhenzhen is still in the prison, but I'm summoned to the palace. If it gets out, there will always be gossip."
Shen Muyin said this very clearly, and the expressions of Concubine Liu and Shen Yan changed accordingly.
"Since my father said so, then I don't need to worry." Shen Muyin ignored the two of them and finished speaking.
Then Shen Muyin looked at Eunuch He and said, "Thank you, Eunuch He, for leading the way."
"Please come in, Miss Shen." Eunuch He was polite to Shen Muyin.
However, Shen Muyin's simple words made Eunuch He look at her with new eyes. This girl was very smart and knew how to completely distance herself from the matter.
Whether in front of others or behind their backs.
A girl like this is beneficial to the Eastern Palace, so it's no wonder that the Eastern Palace likes her.
After all, the Eastern Palace has always been a place of trouble. If the Crown Princess is not smart, it will only bring more trouble to the Eastern Palace.
The Eastern Palace has to face countless things, so the Crown Princess must be able to handle it on her own and not make a fool of herself.
After a moment of silence, Eunuch He did not say anything, hiding his thoughts very well. He would report to the Empress Dowager later.
He walked quietly in front and took Shen Muyin into the carriage. Shen Muyin nodded slightly, stepped on the pedal and got into the carriage calmly.
Before hanging the curtain, Shen Muyin looked at Eunuch He: "Eunuch He, I have something to ask you."
"You say." Eunuch He was very polite.
Shen Muyin nodded: "I can bring my personal maid with me into the palace. It will be more convenient to take care of her, so as to avoid wasting time when the Queen Mother summons me and making her unhappy."
Shen Muyin said this very decently.
But Eunuch He immediately understood the meaning between the lines.
This servant belongs to Shen Muyin. Shen Muyin was afraid that if Shen Muyin was not around, the Shen family would cause trouble for this servant, so Shen Muyin wanted to keep him with her.
However, there was nothing against the rules. In the past, young ladies who entered the palace would bring their own personal servants with them. After all, it would be more convenient to have one's own people with you.
