Chapter 435 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (3)

"Xiaofu, go tidy up the storeroom first and take out some of the clothes and daily necessities.

Also, I'll pick out some of the accessories and fabrics that my third sister sent me to make some clothes, and keep them to wear together."

Shen Yao returned to the room and immediately arranged for Xiaofu to do something.

There was basically nothing to do in the concubine's courtyard, and even the decorations were very ordinary.

Today, Shen Rong was also generous enough to give Shen Yao valuable jewelry and fabrics for free, otherwise Shen Yao would not have good clothes to wear.

Xiaofu nodded in response, turned around and took the things he brought back to the warehouse.

There were several maids in the courtyard who were responsible for cleaning, but none of them could serve personally. Xiaofu asked them to come over to help, and it went surprisingly smoothly.

Shen Yao just sat in the room with a cup of cold warm tea at hand.

"Host, can we enter the palace smoothly? It seems that Madam Shen is having some difficulties."

After eavesdropping on the gossip, the system came back and quietly reminded the host not to be so leisurely and to be a little nervous.

Shen Yao rolled her eyes at the empty room and said, "Please remove the word 'bar'."

Madam Shen is not a problem. If Shen Chunbai agrees and Shen Changyu supports me, I can enter the palace smoothly through the selection.'

After all, these two are the ones who make the decisions in the Shen family. The opinions of others are useful but not significant.

Looking up and touching her messy hair, Shen Yao casually said that the background of this mission was more exciting and challenging than before.

"This country is going downhill, and it may disappear in a few years. My presence is to extend the existence of the dynasty that is about to die. There will definitely be a rich reward for completing this mission."

system:……

Why is the host so confident? It seems that he has been a little excited since coming to this world.

"Because I like this world very much," Shen Yao said with a smile on her face.

After being calm for so long, Shen Yao almost forgot the excitement of fighting with others. Even though there would be a risk of dying early, as long as he thought about becoming the ultimate winner, Shen Yao couldn't help but want to fight and try.

The imperial palace is a place that is both familiar and strange.

…………

Shen Yao stayed in the courtyard for two days. During this time, except for Shen Changyu and Shen Rong who sent people to deliver some things, no one else, including Shen Chunbai and Mrs. Shen, expressed any opinion.

Shen Yao could still sit still, but Xiaofu, who was serving her, was a little nervous. She often went out to do things for the young lady, and there were a lot of rumors in the mansion.

"It's okay. After Dad and Mom give us some words in a couple of days, we'll be able to relax a little."

Shen Yao spoke in a flat tone, as if she was talking about today's weather.

Xiaofu was comforted by his young lady's words and turned around to cheer himself up.

Another day passed, and the old housekeeper came to the courtyard to ask for someone, saying that the master was looking for someone.

Shen Yao changed into a light green long dress embroidered with a few flowers and plants, and her hair was lightly tied up with a few tassel hairpins.

"Helpful housekeeper"

"Miss Four is polite"

The old butler led the way with a smile, and on the way he gave a vague explanation that the master had been very busy these days, running between the court and the study, and occasionally had to patrol the barracks in the suburbs, so he really had no free time.

Now, he can finally take a break and arrange for himself to come and invite the Fourth Miss over. This shows how much the master values ​​the Fourth Miss.

bala bala bala

For the first time, Shen Yao discovered that the old butler was really good at speaking, and every word he said was to the point.

This is a euphemism to whitewash Shen Chunbai.

In this case, as long as Shen Chunbai can remain firm in his determination to send her into the palace, she will not pursue his indecision.

"Father"

A few days later, the father and daughter met again in the study.

Without Shen Changyu's three siblings as witnesses, Shen Chunbai spoke to Shen Yao in a kinder tone.

After repeatedly asking Shen Yao if he really wanted to enter the palace, Shen Chunbai stroked his beautiful beard and said, "Yao'er, I don't know why you insist on entering the palace, but you must know that the Shen family will not be able to provide you with any help after you enter the palace. Even so, do you have no regrets?"

Shen Yao looked up at Shen Chunbai not far away and realized that the other party was testing her.

How can you send a woman into the palace without providing some help? If she really relies on herself to live in the palace, something bad will happen sooner or later.

Lowering her eyes to hide her emotions, Shen Yao hesitated for a while before mustering up the courage to say, "Father, I have no regrets. I only ask that you have pity on me and fulfill my wish to enter the palace."

Shen Chunbai: …

Shen Chunbai found that he was a little confused about his daughter who always kept a low profile.

She is clearly a timid and cautious person, so how could she suddenly change so much and insist on entering the palace?

As for what Shen Yao said about being in love with the current emperor, just listen to it. As a military officer who has been attending court as a mascot for many years, Shen Chunbai knows best what kind of person the emperor is. Even his appearance cannot be said to be good, but even with this, a young girl can still fall in love with him at first sight. He is fooling ghosts.

"Since you have made up your mind, your father will naturally be satisfied," Shen Chunbai has been thinking about changing people these days. In addition, his eldest son Changyu also supports Shen Yao to enter the palace. Compared with Shen Rong, who has nothing to show for it, it is normal for Shen Chunbai to change his mind.

Shen Yao got the correct answer and was delighted. "Thank you, father, for your help."

Shen Chunbai waved his hand and said, "Well, go back and prepare carefully. The audition is scheduled for mid-March." It is not even the end of the first month of the year yet, and there are only about two months left. Shen Yao has a lot to learn.

Shen Yao left the study and was stopped by a maid from the main courtyard on her way back, who said that Madam Shen wanted to see her.

Shen Yao: ...This couple, don’t they discuss anything before doing anything?

It's better to get them all together, so Shen Yao doesn't have to go through the trouble twice.

"Trouble"

"Miss Four is polite"

The maid from the main courtyard brought Shen Yao over, but before she even entered the door, she was given a warning by Madam Shen.

Shen Yao:……?

He stood at the door stupidly for a quarter of an hour, and then reported that Mrs. Shen was resting and asked Shen Yao to wait. He was really not considerate at all. Shen Yao smiled faintly, turned around, closed her eyes, and fainted on the ground.

"Don't you see the current situation? Madam Shen has simply had such a good life these years that she has forgotten how she survived the hard times in the past."

Shen Yao's sudden fainting caught Mrs. Shen off guard.

Let alone the matter of bullying a concubine's daughter, not to mention the dissatisfaction of Shen Chunbai and Shen Changyu. Shen Rong alone is enough to blame Madam Shen to death.

"Mother! What are you thinking? Targeting our fourth sister will not benefit us in any way. Do you really want to force me into the palace and separate me from my cousin?"

Shen Rong was almost terrified by her own mother's action. She prayed in her heart that her fourth sister would be in better health. If she fell ill and retired, she would have to enter the palace to seek wealth and fame.

Mrs. Shen was already feeling guilty and nervous, and when she heard her own daughter complaining about her, she immediately refuted it by saying that even if she didn't have this illegitimate sister, she still had her biological cousin, and they were the same.

Shen Rong: ...

How could it be the same? Was she serious? Was she joking?

"Not only is my cousin's surname Yuan, but she is also a concubine's daughter, with an older brother and a younger brother. Do you expect my cousin to succeed and help the poor relatives of the Shen family?"

Shen Rong felt that she was a little stupid, but she didn't expect her mother to be more naive than her. How could she trust the Yuan family, which was shabby and complicated inside? "Fourth sister is my biological sister, what is a cousin?"

Mrs. Shen:……? !!!

After being criticized by her eldest son and then by her daughter, Mrs. Shen was really about to lose her defense.

It turned out that her mother's family, which she valued so much, was so disgraceful in the eyes of her children. What about her own mother... Mrs. Shen covered her chest with her hands, not daring to think about it.

Shen Rong didn't have time to talk about these things with Mrs. Shen. She reminded her mother not to make trouble for her fourth sister, not only for the Shen family, but also for her!

Madam Shen: ...I have committed a sin, and this is my retribution! This is my retribution!

The "fainted" Shen Yao had no idea that Mrs. Shen had collapsed again because of her.

At this time, Shen Yao was lying in the room resting. The doctor diagnosed that she needed rest. Shen Chunbai directly arranged the best care for her. Shen Changyu even personally sent someone to inquire about the daily situation of the courtyard and directly raised Shen Yao's treatment to that of a legitimate daughter.

Shen Yao: ...Look, some things are just that simple to accomplish. Just pick the right time and have everyone around you to help.

Shen Yao fell asleep peacefully and spent the following days recuperating.

After all, the doctor who came to diagnose the disease also said that Shen Yao had some health problems and that proper rest was essential.

As for Mrs. Shen, who caused all this trouble, she is still living peacefully in the main courtyard. She has not been openly punished or reprimanded. However, judging from the number of times Shen Chunbai, Shen Changyu and others have gone to the main courtyard, it can be inferred that she is also living in dire straits.

After all, the younger generation of the Yuan family haven't visited for some time.

You should know that in the past period of time, the Yuan family loved to come to the Shen family to ask for money.

"So whether it's the original owner or Shen Rong, why do they have to marry into the Yuan family?"

Marrying into a family whose ending is so obvious at a glance is pure torture.

Shen Yao didn't understand. From the comments of Shen Changyu and others, she knew that they didn't like the Yuan family as their in-laws. But Shen Rong wanted to marry Yuan's cousin. Could it be possible that she could separate and live alone after marrying into the family?

The internal affairs of the noble families in ancient times were complicated. Did you think that the Shen family was in a bad situation? On the contrary, the Shen family was already a model of a simple population and good relationships, surpassing 80% of the official families in the Yu State.

"Perhaps you want to strengthen your relationship with your relatives? Military generals are not as good as civil officials, and there are many restrictions on marriage."

Shen Rong wanted her life to be better after marriage, so there would be no problem in marrying back into the Yuan family.

The only point worth discussing is that the Yuan family is in a hopeless situation and cannot be saved by my cousin alone.

Shen Yao turned over in bed, "It's better to rely on yourself than on others."

Shen Rong wanted to have an easier life after marriage, so she decided to marry her cousin. If she regretted it later, would she blame herself for the choice she had made? Would she beautify the road she had not taken?

Shen Yao suddenly smiled, as if she had no right to laugh at others. Would she be able to go smoothly if she chose to enter the palace? There is an old saying that plans cannot keep pace with changes.

After all, it was my own choice, so I can't blame others even if the outcome is failure.

With firm belief and closing her eyes, Shen Yao stopped talking and fell asleep.

The long night will eventually pass, and when the dazzling sunlight shines on the ground, a new day will quietly arrive.
