Qin Ruilan smiled and said nothing, but at this time Liang Huanqing said: "Mother Princess, how long are you going to hide from me?"?

At this time, Qi Wangshu also said bluntly: "Don't be anxious, we have to be anxious!"

Qin Ruilan glanced at them, and then looked at Shen Shu helplessly, as if waiting for her answer.

Shen Shu stared blankly in front of her, while Jingyin looked at her anxiously from behind. Seeing that she didn't speak, he urged softly: "His Majesty, you're already here, why don't you open up a little more?"

Shen Shu lowered her head. She didn't speak, but she kept fiddling with her fingernails.

Only then did everyone realize that Shen Shu had taken off her armor, and her long and slender nails were gone. Her fingers were bare, as if she had just cut them off.

After Liang Huanqing noticed it, he stretched out his hand to hold Shen Shu's hand and said, "Ms. Princess, have you already thought about cutting your nails?"

Qi Wangshu may not know it, but Liang Huanqing knows it deeply. When she entered the palace as the crown princess, even when the emperor was seriously ill, the nun who served her also put on armor for her. , there are four in total, and it is very inconvenient to wear them on the last two fingers. No matter what you do, you have to lift two fingers.

But at that time, the nun of the Fashion Palace said: The women in this palace, as long as they have some status and do not have to work to serve others, need to wear armor, be exquisite and beautiful, and the emperor will like it after seeing it.

The women in this palace are exquisite to the core.

Later, Liang Huanqing also discovered that all the masters wore armor on their hands. The nails on the ring finger and little finger were long and had to be trimmed and cared for every time, and wiped with sesame oil to make them smooth and translucent.

Yuebai and Tang Xue don't have to be like this. They are like this outside the palace and they are like this inside the palace.

When she was outside the palace, Liang Huanqing wanted to grow her nails long, so she grew them long and dyed them red. Not to mention how beautiful they looked.

But when I don't like it, I will cut off my nails and apply translucent sesame oil on them, which will make my delicate hands look more beautiful.

But now in the palace, there are so many restrictions, and now they can't even make their own decisions about their nails.

Shen Shu looked at her fingers. Since Liang Huanqing had asked this question, she naturally knew what she was thinking about, so she didn't try to escape by beating around the bush.

She said: "When I entered the palace five years ago, I never thought about how bad it would be to spend the rest of my life in the palace. I thought, since the late emperor is my husband, then I will respect him and love him, even if I only have one child left in the end. Even if I am alone, I will have a thought in my mind.

But at that time, I was only twenty years old. After meeting the emperor, I did not regard him as my husband. I was afraid of him and feared him. In my eyes, he was the emperor and the lord of the world. He only needed to give him some food. , cloth, those things that he may not care about at all, give them to Danlong, and someone will work for him.

Life in the palace is very good. I am the princess of Danxiang. I live in peace and quiet in the palace, and no one will deliberately harass me.

I thought life was going to go on like this... But after meeting Ji Ziqi, I hated myself more and more. I hated my identity, my age, and why I was who I am today..."

Qi Wangshu frowned and listened to all this, then squatted down and touched her hand, looked up at her and said: "But you don't know, Ji Ziqi also likes you. He told me yesterday that even if he abandons his high position and his salary, Even if I am demoted to a commoner, I still want to be with you. Shen Shu, you are not the only one who can't help himself. You are suffering in the palace, and he has you in his heart. How can it not be a kind of suffering outside the palace?"

Everyone looked at Qi Wangshu. She was the one who had spoken to Ji Ziqi personally, so she could naturally speak more clearly.

Shen Shu shed tears when she heard this. She asked, "Did the princess see Ji Ziqi yesterday?"

Qi Wangshu nodded: "I wanted General Liang Ji to talk to Ji Ziqi yesterday, but I met Ji Ziqi on the way to watch the fireworks party yesterday, and Jian Hening beside him, so I told him that tomorrow he will Ji Ziqi came to the palace with Liang Ji, and he told me personally that the girl, Jian Hening, was the sister he had only met once when he was a child. There was indeed an engagement between them, but Ji Ziqi was not willing to be with Jian Hening. , he also agreed to make it clear to his uncles after returning to Taiyuan County. He also told me that even if he abandons this high-ranking official and his salary, he still wants to be with you. Today I am looking for Sister Ruilan Come on, there are only a few people you can trust, let’s work together to figure out how to make lovers finally get married.”

Everyone looked at Shen Shu at this moment, wanting to know what she wanted to do. At this moment everyone knew in their hearts that it would be difficult for them to be together, but if they were all willing, it wouldn't be What a difficult thing.

"Now it depends on what Concubine Shen thinks." Qin Ruilan looked at Shen Shu and said.

Liang Huanqing also looked at Shen Shu with a serious face and said: "If you also want a happy ending, our only way is to ask the emperor. As long as he agrees, you can be together, because now..."

Liang Huanqing looked at Qi Wangshu beside him and said: "The late emperor has just passed away, and the Queen Mother has also left. Although things are much easier to handle, as long as the emperor agrees. But because of the recent incident with Danlong, the emperor may use This opportunity makes some demands on Danhong, and the people of Danhong may suffer some losses. As the princess of Danhong, Shen Shu must be subject to some restrictions..."

This is what Shen Shu has always been worried about. When she entered the border, she wanted to benefit the people of Danhong and maintain a strong relationship. However, she never expected that she would always be the one taking the initiative. , but now he is so passive that his people are forced to accept the arrangements of the Celestial Empire for their own reasons.

This was not what Shen Shu hoped for.

Qi Wangshu stepped forward to wipe Shen Shu's tears and said, "Ji Ziqi is ready to lose everything, but he is still worried that you will be restrained."

In fact, no one can understand why Ji Ziqi and Shen Shu could not forget each other so much after only meeting once, beautifying each other's image in their minds, and then became ready to stay together for a lifetime.

This seemed unbelievable to outsiders, but it actually happened in front of their eyes. Qi Wangshu, Liang Huanqing and Qin Ruilan also found it difficult to accept this matter, but when they saw that they had not seen each other, the thoughts in their minds They were all thinking about each other so much, and I didn’t know why but I was moved by their feelings.

It's like a tragic marriage in the previous life. After thousands of years, we finally met in the sweet-scented osmanthus forest. From now on, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus will always be in my dreams.

Shen Shu cried miserably. She knew that her identity and responsibility did not allow her to do this, but she couldn't help but think about whether she could decide on her own if she were a girl from an ordinary family. What about his fate? If he had met Ji Ziqi, whom he fell in love with at first sight, would they have been able to be together?

"Don't cry... We don't mean to blame you. We just want to explain everything clearly. Then there will be a solution, right?" Liang Huanqing said worriedly.

Shen Shu shook her head and cried: "I don't know what to do. I don't want to hurt my people, but I really want to be with Ji Ziqi. What should I do? What should I do?"

In this case, Liang Huanqing, Qi Wangshu and Qin Ruilan all looked at each other. What should they do?

Liang Huanqing looked at Shen Shu and then said: "Why don't you wait a little longer and find a way to send you out of the palace after Danxi's envoy leaves. Then Ji Ziqi also leaves, so that you can be unnoticed..."

"Empress, Shen Shu is a concubine. If she goes out, she will naturally be noticed by the two countries of China and Danxi. Unless there is a way to completely get rid of her identity, then she can stay with Ji Ziqi until she grows old. ..." Qin Ruilan said.

Liang Huanqing looked embarrassed. It's not like she could get rid of this identity. Unless she died, she would remain Concubine Shen for the rest of her life...

Dead?

Liang Huanqing was suddenly excited, and at this time, Qi Wangshu seemed to have thought of something, and looked at each other with Liang Huanqing. They looked at each other as if they could know what the other was thinking.

Shen Shu and Qin Ruilan were also looking at them, apparently thinking of something.

"What's wrong? Did you think of something?" Shen Shu and Qin Ruilan asked after seeing them like this.

Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu nodded to each other, and then said: "Unless she dies, Concubine Shen will always be Concubine Shen. After Danlong's envoy leaves, we will arrange a fake death, which will not only make the Shen Shu can get rid of this identity and leave safely."

They simply told Shen Shu and Qin Ruilan what they were thinking, but Qin Ruilan said: "But... can Concubine Shen let go? In that case, the former Shen Shu will disappear from the world forever. Concubine Shen dies. The news will definitely reach Danlong, and then Concubine Shen will not be able to return to Danlong to meet the king and queen of Danlong, and there will be no Shen Shu in the future..."

This is indeed a difficult problem that needs to be considered. If she really fakes her death and goes out of the palace, Shen Shu will have to give up her glory and wealth. She has lived in fine clothes since she was a child and faces an unknown future. What if Ji Ziqi loves her now, but in the future she will What should I do if she is not good?

When Shen Shu is "dead", no one will speak for her. If she wants to get rid of her current identity as Concubine Shen, she must let everyone in the world know that Shen Shu is dead.

But at that time, who could guarantee that Ji Ziqi would love her as before?

Qin Ruilan was right. What Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu said was a solution, but it was also a very risky matter. No one wanted to see a bad ending.

"Instead of thinking nonsense here, why don't you choose to believe Ji Ziqi? Besides, he will come tomorrow, and they will meet then. Let's talk about this matter. After all, even if we want to do this, we still have to wait until Dan Let's wait until the envoy leaves the Kingdom. No one has come yet, so talking about these things now is of no use." Seeing that everyone was worried about this matter, Liang Huanqing also spoke up.

"The Queen is right. You have only met once. Maybe even the appearance is just imagined in your mind. As long as you meet again and the two of you sit down and have a good chat, if you still want to be together by then, Then let's find a way." Qin Ruilan said.

Shen Shu nodded, then looked up at Qin Ruilan and said sheepishly: "Do you even know about this?"

Qin Ruilan looked at them from side to side, and then took Shen Shu's hand. They were the closest in age. Besides, Qin Ruilan was well-educated and had always been a very calm person. She naturally understood Shen Shu's current embarrassment.

Qin Ruilan said: "Ms. Concubine, I'm sorry. They told me about this because they are at the end of their rope. One more person and one more solution. Just worry about it. I won't tell anyone."

Shen Shu cried and shook her head and said: "I believe you won't tell it... I just feel the warmth that I haven't seen for a long time. Since I married from Danlong, no one has cared about me anymore. I have one person every day." It's really hard to be in the palace. I'm really, really happy to meet you. You are the most humane people I have ever seen in the palace..."

Listening to Shen Shu say this, everyone will inevitably feel a little sad for Shen Shu. Everyone knows the pain of Shen Shu marrying in a foreign country, but hearing her say it from her own mouth, it is inevitable that there will be some sadness in their hearts. They did not expect her. It is really heartbreaking to have such deep pain hidden in my heart.

Liang Huanqing, Qin Ruilan and Qi Wangshu looked at each other, then they both took Shen Shu's hand and said: "From now on, you can rest assured. Even if you really leave the palace in the end, when Ji Ziqi bullies you, you still have We will be by your side to the end of the world."

If in the end she tried her best to be with Ji Ziqi, but Ji Ziqi failed her, it would be heartbreaking. Marrying in a foreign country is a painful and difficult thing, not to mention such a political marriage. The foundation of the relationship comes from marrying so far away. As a princess, Qi Wangshu can empathize with her. She will never agree to marry in this life.

Liang Ji had said that as long as he could go to the battlefield, he would never allow Qi Wangshu to marry him.

Qi Wangshu also had great confidence in Liang Ji. Marriage was not the destiny of princesses in the past. Even if they were born in an imperial family, they were not necessarily born to be a tool for peace.

Qi Wangshu looked at Shen Shu in front of him, and Liang Ji's words secretly echoed in his heart. Now only Liang Ji could give her some sense of security and comfort.
