Su Shangqing never asked about the family background of Dong'er and the servants around him, and he didn't know that he needed to ask about such things.

When he moved to Ganquan Palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought many people and stood there one by one. How could Su Shangqing know clearly who was good and bad?

But at that time, Yu Zhang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs once said: "Empress Shu, these people are all people with innocent family backgrounds."

Su Shangqing was alone in the palace. She was not as powerful as the Queen. She had no one behind her to rely on. The only thing she could rely on was the child in her belly. She also thought that because a mother is more valuable than a child, she could borrow this belly. The children here should firmly take the position of concubine Shu.

Therefore, the people serving around you must be people with a clean family background and absolutely no duplicity.

I thought that Dong'er was at least a trustworthy person. After spending more than ten days together, Su Shangqing naturally knew that it was impossible for him to fully understand a person, but at least he could conclude that Dong'er actually had no second thoughts.

In fact, theft is a trivial matter, and it is common for people in the palace to take out the valuable things in the palace and sell them, as long as the master does not find out, it will be fine.

Back then, Dong'er saw that there were some novel and rare treasures around Empress Shen Shu. Moreover, Qionghua Palace was not favored by the emperor. Others might not know it, but Dong'er, as the tea girl in the inner palace, was also beside Shen Shu. People who often show their faces know that since Shen Shu was married to the Celestial Dynasty as a little princess in Danhong, the emperor did not treat the princess Danhong very well. He only treated her with respect as a guest, without any intention of admiration.

If Dong'er remembered correctly at that time, Concubine Shen had never received any favors since she entered the palace. In this case, even if she stole some things and sold them in the palace, nothing would happen. A concubine who favors a concubine whose sense of presence is extremely low will usually put things to rest.

After being discovered by Jing Yin who was beside Shen Shu at that time, Shen Shu did not do anything to Dong'er and did not intend to send her to the Criminal Punishment Department. When she discovered that Dong'er was stealing something, it was the person from Minghua Hall who When Concubine Ming was in office, Shen Shu was unwilling to have anything about herself spread in the palace at this time.

Although Shen Shu hated being cheated and deceived by others, Lu Huiling was very arrogant and domineering at that time, and no one wanted to be targeted by Lu Huiling at any time.

Although Shen Shu is not afraid of Lu Huiling, no one is willing to put himself and his people in trouble. Even if Dan Xi behind Shen Shu is of great use to the Celestial Empire, who is willing to put himself and his people in trouble? What about among them?

Shen Shu did not spread the word about Dong'er, presumably to give her a chance. Now that she saw Dong'er next to Su Shangqing, she couldn't help but feel a little awkward, just because she wanted to talk about it to disgust Su Shangqing.

Thinking about it, Su Shangqing must have been very concerned about the fetus in her belly at this time, but Shen Shu just wanted to disgust her at this time.

As expected, after Su Shangqing found out that Dong'er's hands and feet were dirty, he looked at her in disbelief: "Dong'er, you..."

It was rare for Dong'er to follow a master with a bright future. Even if he didn't steal or rob, just receiving rewards from Concubine Shu's side was enough to satisfy his greed. The reward Concubine Shu received from the emperor was A little bit of it from between your fingers is enough for your own use.

Besides, since being caught by Concubine Shen, Dong'er himself has not dared to do it again. Now that the old matter is brought up again, Dong'er looked up at Concubine Shu in a panic and cried: "Concubine Shu. Madam, I have not done this. I have never done this kind of thing in Ganquan Palace. Do you believe me? I have changed my mind and will not do it again..."

"Is it because I didn't do it again or because I didn't have time to do it?" Shen Shu said with a smile, "It's just like Concubine Shu said, you have an heir in your belly and you can't afford any delay. If you have such a person by your side, then The Ai family is unwilling."

Dong'er watched Concubine Shen speak one sentence after another, tears already bursting out of her eyes. She pulled the hem of Su Shangqing's skirt and cried: "Concubine Shu, I really don't have any slaves, I really don't have any servants. I won’t do anything bad to you, I’m wrong, I don’t dare!”

"People's hearts are separated from each other. It's better for Concubine Shu to be careful. It is said that children steal needles when they are young and steal gold when they grow up. Who knows if Dong'er's appetite will be bigger after a year or two? If he just steals something, it will be worse. Fortunately, if the seller is seeking glory... then it's not worth it." Shen Shu sat in the pavilion, eating the fruits on the table, watching the farce they started with her own hands.

Su Shangqing was really moved. She looked at Dong'er, who was pulling at the hem of her skirt and pleading. She thought about what Concubine Shen said, hesitated for a while and finally said: "What Concubine Shen taught us is that in Ganquan Palace, There is no room for such people!"

Then he turned to Dong'er and said, "Don't follow me anymore. Go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask the manager to find a place for you!"

"Ms. Concubine Shu - if you don't want to be a slave, I will have no place to go. Please keep me by your side! Even if you don't serve in front of the palace, you can just clean the backyard. Concubine Shu..." Dong The child suddenly became desperate. If she was kicked out of Ganquan Palace, who would want her?

Su Shangqing looked at Dong'er in embarrassment, thinking that she was the first person he got to know in the palace, and felt reluctant to let go. However, Concubine Shen was right, if Dong'er was instigated by others in the future, she would be in her own hands What should I do if someone is doing something wrong around me?

It's still more than half a year before the child in her belly is born safely, but nothing happens. Although Su Shangqing doesn't want to believe that Dong'er is such a person, for the sake of the child in her belly, she will stay with her in the palace in the future. On a peaceful and smooth day, Su Shangqing had to drive Dong'er away cruelly: "Stop talking, Ganquan Palace won't let you stay."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Concubine Shen: "Concubine Shen, you are laughing at me. I am not feeling well, so I have to leave first."

Shen Shu held snacks in her hand and said to Su Shangqing with a smile: "Go and rest more. When you are free, Aijia will go to Ganquan Palace to see you in person."

"Thank you, Concubine Chen. I will take my leave." Su Shangqing glanced at Dong'er with complicated eyes, then turned and left.

After Su Shangqing left, Shen Shu looked at Dong'er who was kneeling on the ground, and then asked Jingyin to arrange for someone to take her away so that she would not appear in front of her.

Jingyin asked: "Concubine Shu is now the favorite of the harem, why should the concubine have trouble with such a person? If something really happens, we can't afford it."

Shen Shu smiled and said, "What can be the problem? The Ai family just said a few words, but she is so rich and valuable? What can she say after just a few words? Then the queen will not live if such a thing happens."

Jingyin could see clearly what Concubine Shen was thinking, and said with a smile: "It seems that Concubine Shen still likes the Empress more."

"Who wouldn't like such a responsible woman?" Shen Shu suppressed her smile, stood up, and said, "Let's go, the queen has been ill for such a long time, and as the elder of the Ai family, it's time to go and see her. I have nothing to do today. If you have nothing to do, I will go to Qianning Palace for a walk."

"Yes." Jingyin followed Concubine Shen.

…

"Empress Dowager Shen has arrived——"

Before Shen Shu could get off the sedan, the eunuch announced that she was singing loudly.

In the main hall, Qi Wangshu, Mrs. Qin and Qin Ruilan panicked and looked at each other in confusion. Why is the Dowager Empress also here today? Could it be that she heard something?

But she couldn't care less. Accompanied by Jingyin, Shen Shu was walking to the main hall. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the main hall, she saw someone inside. She didn't expect that by such a coincidence, someone would come to see the queen today.

After seeing Concubine Shen come in, the three of them stood up and saluted.

Mrs. Qin was dressed in a pink-blue palace dress, covered with a layer of plain gauze, which looked elegant but luxurious. Her strands of hair showed her dancing posture in the breeze, and there was a jade pendant hanging from her slender waist, which was very conspicuous. The black hair is tied with magnolia hairpins, and there are traces of time between the eyebrows, but it looks more elegant.

When Mrs. Qin heard that the visitor was Princess Shen, they all looked over. She felt that the Princess in front of her was too young and did not look like the Princess in her mind.

However, I can feel relieved in my heart. After all, most of the late emperor's concubines entered the palace later. There are many concubines in their forties and fifties in Wanshou Palace, and there are also many concubines in their twenties and thirties. In front of me is Concubine Shen. Even if she is a concubine for the current emperor, it is not strange.

But this is why Mrs. Qin thought about it, how could a female servant serve two husbands? When she saw Concubine Shen coming in, she stood up and saluted: "My slave, please pay your respects to Concubine Shen."

Qin Ruilan, on the other hand, is dressed in a light pink palace dress, with a plain ribbon tied around her waist, which highlights her graceful figure. Her hair is tied up in a bun with flying stars and the moon, no powder is applied, her eyebrows are furrowed, her eyes are delicate, her face is thin, and her waist is slim. , Niao Tingting, charming and boneless. The crystal clear almond eyes look into the distance, generous and shy, the cherry-like mouth is slightly opened, and she seems to be smiling but not smiling. She is naturally kind, and she also follows. His mother saluted Concubine Shen together: "My slave, please pay your respects to Concubine Shen."

She had never heard of Concubine Shen before, but the first time she met her was when she secretly entered the palace. Qin Ruilan felt a little guilty.

But Shen Shu could recognize them. Shen Shu recognized them at first sight as the wife and young lady of Prime Minister Qin's Mansion. She had seen them before at the family banquet. Shen Shu was not eye-catching among the three thousand beauties in the late emperor's harem. But as the prime minister's wife and young lady, they are very eye-catching.

Although Shen Shu knew about it, she didn't expose it. She had long heard that the Qin family had a good relationship with the Liang family. Mrs. Qin treated Liang Huanqing as her own child. Now that something big happened to Liang Huanqing in the palace, if she didn't come to visit , that’s what’s weird.

Shen Shu glanced at them, and then focused on Qi Wangshu——

Qi Wangshu is dressed in a White House dress of su brocade and silver inlaid with flowing clouds and pink pear blossoms. The waist is crocheted with pale goose yellow and concentric knotted with silk fringes. The waist is slender and too full to hold.

The amethyst moon-shaped magnolia hairpin is inserted in the light and slowly curled cloud temples, and an exquisite and exquisite necklace hangs around the neck. Chuan, wearing a lavender double-breasted dress embroidered with beaded flowers and brocade patterns, covered with a jade-colored smoked silver gauze shirt, lined with a moon-white and slightly pink water lily short waistband, and a piece of light blue soft gauze around the waist. She held her hand gently. Her voice was sweet but not greasy, refreshing, and her body exuded the elegant fragrance of lavender, making people unable to help but want to get closer to her.

Wearing a light pink gauze dress, the cuffs are decorated with white lace, and there are two layers of milky white gauze collar in front of the neck, which is complicated and exquisite. The shoulders are only surrounded by light gauze, and the white and jade-like shoulders are looming. A few colorful clouds are hooked on the chest,

The hem of the skirt is covered with a mist-like gauze cover, the chest is wrapped in moon white, and the waist is tied with pure white silk satin, which has a soft and pure flavor. The skin is like cream, and the air is like an orchid. On Hao's wrist is a white Hetian jade bracelet.

The middle part is emerald, and one can tell at a glance that it is of great value. There is a pair of amber earrings hanging next to the ears, which are crystal clear. They are covered with light pink tassels that trail to the ground, and the green silk is braided into many slender braids, and a few are picked up and wound into the top.

In the shape of a circle, use a silver butterfly hairpin to make a delicate willow leaf hairpin, and then pin a lily with morning dew on it, making it look fresh and pretty.

The shoulders are shaved, the waist is as plain, the eyebrows are like green feathers, and the muscles are as white as snow. The black hair is wrapped around the waist with a light blue ribbon, and it sways slightly when walking, showing the delicate feeling. Dressed in plain brocade.

The clothes are covered with aqua-blue gauze. The breeze blows and the gauze flutters. The whole person exudes a faint aura. The skin is like gelatin, which can be broken by blowing. The lips are cherry red, no need to blush, and the slender willow eyebrows are lightly raised, so there is no need to smudge.

, a smile was outlined on her cherry lips, but there was a faint chill. Dressed in a plain shirt, the dark patterns of the sky blue Higan flower flickered in and out as she walked.

The waist is gently tied with a lake blue brocade silk ribbon. The simple high bun and the messy bangs on the forehead are swinging in the breeze, showing a casual look. A pure white sapphire hairpin emits brilliant spots. The corner of the mouth is secretly curled.

, eyes as cold as frozen lake water are particularly clear. A petite face as big as a palm, skin that can be broken by blows, exquisite facial features, the clearest dark blue eyes, and the most beautiful rose-colored flowing long hair that makes people jealous.

Fa. Because she had taken the Ningxin Pill prepared by her mother since she was a child, her body exuded a light floral fragrance. She wore an ivory white floor-length dress, covered with a floor-length palace gauze inlaid with silver threads and embroidered with colorful cherry blossoms, and her hair was pulled up like half

A chrysanthemum, with peach blossoms carefully pasted on the forehead, making the complexion appear spring-like, with cherry lips and big eyes, and hair on the temples like clouds. There are two gold-wired hollow peacock hairpins on each side, and each peacock holds a bunch under its mouth.

Black pearls are both noble and unassuming.
