Shen Shu looked at Ji Ziqi in trance. She had not met any man since she came to Shangjing City. Although she was the late emperor's concubine, she had not even seen the late emperor a few times, so she had no intention of doing so.

At that time, before Danhong got married and went to Beijing, the queen mother had warned herself to keep her peace and not to cause trouble to Danhong. They knew that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was already over fifty years old, and Shen Shu was only about 20 years old at the time. The little princess is also the only princess.

In order to ask the heaven to help Danhong, the king of Danhong reluctantly married off his daughter. The tribesmen also knew that the little princess had made a huge sacrifice, and they always remembered her in their hearts.

After Shen Shu came to the Shangjing Palace, she has been living in Qionghua Palace. Generally speaking, she can't see any men at all. Men like Ji Ziqi are even rarer. She has such a bookish temperament, but also has a slight... His masculinity may not even be comparable to that of Si Nanping, who is beside the emperor.

For some reason, Shen Shu's face turned red when she saw the man in front of her, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Ji Ziqi originally had a chaotic and noisy climbing scene, but recently promised the emperor to come up with a way to deal with the enemy's invasion as soon as possible, so Ji Ziqi's mind was filled with court affairs and state affairs, and he had no time or mind to deal with those frivolous and cowardly social activities. .

But I never thought that even if I walked alone in the sweet-scented osmanthus forest and sought some solace in the forest filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, I would still meet Empress Dowager Shen.

Ji Ziqi bowed towards Concubine Shen. He lowered his head and waited for a response, but Concubine Shen didn't make a sound. This made Ji Ziqi suspect that Concubine Shen had left, so he slowly raised his head. Who knew? Concubine Shen didn't even move, she just stood there and looked at herself.

"Mother Concubine Shen?" Ji Ziqi asked softly, clasping her hands and bending slightly to look at Shen Shu.

"Ah?" Shen Shu quickly came back to her senses, looked at Ji Ziqi's appearance, then looked away, and first asked: "You, who are you?"

Ji Ziqi smiled, then stood up straight and said: "The minister is Ji Ziqi, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Ji Ziqi of the Ji family in Taiyuan... this year, the number one scholar in the imperial examination."

Ji Ziqi originally didn't want to say the last sentence. There is always a sense of showing off when saying it, but for some reason, when he introduced himself, Ji Ziqi was willing to say this sentence, as if he wanted to say it. Let Empress Dowager Shen know herself well. After all, a woman like her who is a concubine at such a young age must be a little princess married from another country. After the emperor is over fifty, he will no longer be drafted. ,,Ji Ziqi has heard about this.

But later on, there were quite a few little princesses and princesses who came over for marriage. After all, if the Celestial Kingdom is a big country, if you want to seek help, you must be restrained by the Celestial Empire. And when a princess or princess married into the palace and became a concubine, it seemed like a marriage. Seeking peace, but the princess who is married is equivalent to a proton.

But now the identity of Concubine Shen seems to have been reversed. The Celestial Empire seeks help from Danxiang, and Concubine Shen is the most noble person in the palace.

People in Danxi have always been good at fighting, and they probably have a bad temperament. Qi Jingqin thought that Shen Shu would negotiate with them when the time came, so he would give Shen Shu face at every turn. Just at the banquet, Shen Shu didn't give Qi Jingqin the same treatment. Regarding face, even though she was a concubine and the late emperor's concubine, the emperor was not born to her after all. If she lost the emperor's face in front of everyone, it would inevitably make the emperor unhappy.

However, Qi Wangshu quickly rescued the siege, and Qi Jingqin continued the banquet as if this incident had never happened. Presumably it was because Shen Shu was the princess of Danlong, and during the New Year, Danlong would send envoys. After entering the palace, we still have to discuss the affairs of the northern territory carefully, and Shen Shu will inevitably have to deal with it.

However, why did Shen Shu dare to deny the emperor face in public? It must have been for this reason. In addition, Qi Jingqin's words were indeed too irritating. How could someone like Su Shangqing replace Liang Huanqing?

Nowadays, the Liang family still has loyal ministers and good generals serving the country, but the emperor still makes things difficult for Liang Ji and Liang Huanqing in the palace. Such a king is really unkind and unjust.

Shen Shu also felt sorry for Liang Huanqing and couldn't stand such a scene, so she braved the situation and confronted Qi Jingqin. However, she didn't expect Qi Jingqin's attitude to be so tough, which really made her unhappy.

Hearing that the man in front of her was a minister of Qi Jingqin, Shen Shu glanced at him angrily, and then muttered: "Such a ruthless and unjust emperor is worthy of you working for him like this!"

This is the Ouchi Palace, not anywhere else. Shen Shu has been in the palace for three to five years, and this is the first time she has said such treasonous words. I don’t know why, but the man in front of me, although he is a minister of the emperor, is also the minister of the Ministry of War. Although she held such a high official position, she was not worried that he would leak this matter. She didn't know why. She knew at the first sight that he was not such a person.

Although she said this, Shen Shu's voice was still very low, as if she just wanted to complain in front of Ji Ziqi and did not want to make this matter a big deal.

Shen Shu also knew that if such words were heard by others in the palace, even if she was the concubine, she would be blamed. Shen Shu did not want to cause trouble. This was what her mother had repeatedly told her when she got married.

It is said that the imperial palace in Shangjing is not as simple as Danxi. Every flower or tree in it can harm someone, so you must be extremely careful.

The world longs for the prosperity and nobility of the Shangjing Imperial Palace, but they demonize the Shangjing Imperial Palace simply because its mystery really scares everyone away.

Ji Ziqi looked at Shen Shu pouting and complaining, and found it really funny. He still stood where he was, maintaining a relatively safe distance. He knew in his heart that Concubine Shen was the late emperor's concubine, and now she is The most popular figures in the palace, and for a woman, innocence is the most important thing. Even if they can explain why they appear in the sweet-scented osmanthus forest, being alone and alone will always arouse some criticism. My own man is nothing, come to think of it. He will return to Taiyuan County soon, but the Concubine Shen in front of him is still very young. In the palace, the most important thing is to be alone. He does not want to cause others to be in rumors because of himself.

"The late emperor was also ruthless and unjust, but the concubine is still the widow of the late emperor, isn't she?" Ji Ziqi asked with a smile.
