The harem has always been the place where news spreads the fastest. The news that Concubine Shen Shu was still in Tai Chi Hall and she was taken out of the cold palace by Xia Huanyu spread throughout the harem.
When Concubine Shen Shu returned to Shuya Palace, the concubines who came to visit came one after another.
Concubine Shen Shu did not reject anyone who came, and saw them one by one. When Shuya Palace became quiet a little, it was already dark. Concubine Shen Shu had time to take a look at the appearance of her palace.
There is still no change in Shuya Palace. Someone should be cleaning it every day. Because Concubine Shu entered the cold palace, most of the maids who used to serve her have disappeared, and only a few old people are left.
She was originally serving Concubine Shen Shu, but because she had no place to stay, she stayed in Shuya Palace to do some cleaning chores.
The master and the servants had been busy all day, and now they had the opportunity to hold hands and look into each other's tearful eyes, feeling deeply.
"The empress is finally back. These days when the empress is no longer around, the Shuya Palace is really deserted. Although in the past, when the empress was here, due to her health, His Majesty rarely came to stay in the Shuya Palace. But after all, the empress has
Your Highness, King Qi, many of the concubines will still give the Empress some face and often move around. The Empress is not in Shuya Palace, so she can really be said to be in the dark." A nun sighed softly, her face full of joy.
. She had almost given up hope before. Very few people could come out after entering the cold palace.
After Concubine Shen Shu heard this, she smiled, raised her eyes to look at the four or five people kneeling in the hall, and said with a smile: "You still persisted in me when I was at my lowest, and you will definitely have a good life in the future."
Concubine Shen Shu raised her eyes lightly, she was finally back.
"Concubine Xie Shu." Xie En's voice was very loud, with a faint smile in Concubine Shen Shu's eyes. This harem is her battlefield. She has the strongest support, and she firmly believes that she can survive in this battle.
, won very beautifully.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" came the chorus of the servants singing from outside. Everyone in the palace was in a happy mood. It was a great blessing that their master could sleep with him just after he came out of the cold palace.
Concubine Shen Shu stood up slowly, with a smile on her face, walked quickly to the door of the main hall, and greeted her.
On this night, some families were happy and some were sad.
"Are you saying that Your Majesty spent the night in Shuya Palace last night?" When she got up in the morning, the Queen was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, dressing up. In the bronze mirror, the delicate-faced woman still had a bit of weariness between her eyebrows.
, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was suppressing something.
The hunched-over chamberlain at the side responded softly: "Queen Qi, this is the case."
The queen nodded slightly, and finally suppressed the hatred in her heart, and said calmly: "Concubine Shu, have you come to pay your respects?"
"Not yet." The waiter responded quickly.
The Queen sneered, "Oh, it's even more grandiose than I am." After saying that, she frowned and took a breath of air, "I don't know how to use gentler hands and feet. I pulled my hair."
The palace maid behind her quickly knelt down on the ground and apologized again and again: "I know my mistake, I know my mistake, please forgive me, Queen."
"Okay, why spare your life? I haven't asked anyone to chop off your head yet?" The queen frowned, her eyes full of disgust, "Why don't you get up quickly and fix your bun for me? You are so clumsy.
"
When the palace maid heard this, she quickly stood up, quickly pulled up her hair into a high bun, took the nine-tailed phoenix crown and inserted it into the queen's hair bun.
The queen's eyes fell on the nine-tailed phoenix crown. After looking at it for a long time, she said calmly: "What does this palace have to care about? No matter how proud she is, she will never become a queen or wear this phoenix crown."
After saying that, she stood up, and the palace maid put on a dark red robe for her. The phoenix on the robe was about to fly.
After everything was dressed properly, the queen was helped out of the inner hall door by her maid. In the main hall, the concubines who came to say good morning were already waiting in the hall. As soon as the queen walked out, she heard the slight movement of her clothes.
The sound was followed by the uniform greetings of the concubines: "The Queen is a thousand years old."
The queen walked to the back seat and sat down. She scanned the people in the palace lightly, but did not find Concubine Shen Shu. She smiled coldly in her heart and said calmly: "Get down."
As soon as everyone sat down, they heard a soft voice from outside: "I'm really sorry, I'm late." As soon as the voice fell, a peach-pink palace dress appeared at the door, and Concubine Shen Shu appeared in front of her.
Wearing peach blossom makeup, a concentric bun, and a butterfly bow, she walked in from the outside.
"The Queen is a thousand years old." Concubine Shen Shu smiled lightly and saluted the Queen.
The queen's eyes fell lightly on Concubine Shen Shu, and the corners of her mouth were raised with a smile: "It doesn't matter, sister Shu Concubine has stayed in Wuyan Palace for a long time, I'm afraid she won't remember the time to say hello, so I won't give it to Concubine Shen.
The concubine is looking at the seats. But I was so confused that I forgot to order someone to add an extra seat."
The palace maid quickly placed a wooden stool in front of her, but Concubine Shen Shu didn't care at all. She responded with a smile: "I never dare to forget the rules of saying good morning in the palace. It's just that today, Your Majesty, I will never forget the rules of saying good morning."
When Ya Gongzhong left, he told the palace attendants not to wake up my concubine, but I didn't pay attention for a moment and overslept."
The concubines in the palace looked at Concubine Shen Shu in a subtle way. The queen was stunned and then laughed: "That's true. I heard that your majesty went to Shuya Palace yesterday, so she should have been exempted from the greetings."
After the queen finished speaking, she raised her head with a smile and said with a smile: "By the way, Sister Shu Fei, while you were away, there were many new people in the palace. You must have not seen them yet, right?"
Concubine Shu gently nodded and said with a smile: "I've never seen it before."
The queen pointed at Lin Youran, smiled and said to Concubine Shen Shu: "Among the beautiful ladies of this generation, the most favored one is Hui Zhaoyi. Moreover, Hui Zhaoyi is now pregnant with a dragon heir. Your Majesty always talks with me."
The palace said that Hui Zhaoyi was his lucky star. After Hui Zhaoyi entered the palace, happy events continued in the palace. Now Concubine Xiang and Hui Zhaoyi are pregnant with dragon heirs. There have been no princesses or princes in the palace for a long time. After a while,
The palace became lively."
The Queen paused for a moment before continuing: "Speaking of which, Sister Shu Fei should have heard of Hui Zhaoyi. Not long ago, Mrs. Xian was thrown into the cold palace because she wanted to murder Hui Zhaoyi.
The fetus was thrown into the cold palace by His Majesty's order. Has Concubine Shu ever heard Mrs. Xian talk about this matter?"
Everyone looked at Concubine Shen Shu with a certain look in their eyes. Concubine Shen Shu didn't care at all and responded with a smile: "I did mention it once."
The queen smiled and nodded, "Mrs. Xian is really a heinous person. Murdering Long Si is a serious crime, but it's hard to be as lucky as Concubine Shu."
All the concubines in the palace looked at the Queen and Concubine Shen Shu cautiously, and their hearts were clear. There was a lot of smoke between the Queen and Concubine Shen Shu.
The Queen kept stimulating Concubine Shen Shu, but Concubine Shen Shu was as gentle and submissive as a ball of cotton, which made the Queen seem a little unbearable.
The queen looked for trouble for a while, but when she saw that Concubine Shen Shu ignored her completely, her heart grew colder. She stood up and said, "There is nothing to do today. Let's all leave. Go and do whatever you need to do."
After everyone heard this, they all secretly sighed and saluted the queen. After the queen left the main hall, they waited for Concubine Shen Shu to take the lead to leave Weiyang Palace before filing out.
Ning Qian and Lin Youran watched Concubine Shen Shu ascending the steps together, looked at each other, and then headed towards the Xiang Bamboo Hall together.
"It is said that the Queen and Concubine Shen Shu have always been incompatible, but it seems to be true." Lin Youran's expression was a bit thoughtful.
Ning smiled lightly and was silent for a long time before saying: "These two people are not easy to get along with. Let's avoid them if we can. If the Queen wants to deal with Concubine Shen Shu, it is very likely that she will choose to follow you and me.
Choose one of them to do it. After all, as the queen said, both of you and I are pregnant with the emperor's heir, and murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime that can never be reversed like Mrs. Xian's."
Lin Youran was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently, "Yes, I will be careful."
Ning Qian raised her hand to caress her undulating belly, and a deep look flashed in her eyes.
The story of the stone tablet was also spread vigorously in Jincheng. Some people took out the stone tablet and joined forces with Emperor Yuan of the Xia Kingdom. When it came to the mouth of the storyteller in the teahouse, it became:
Rumors about what happened on the stone tablet in Jin'an Town spread quickly like a hustle and bustle, and gradually reached the ears of many caring people in Jincheng.
In the afternoon, the stone tablet brought by the county magistrate of Jin'an County and escorted by the government officials entered Jincheng. Along the way, many people rushed to watch. The birth date engraved on the stone tablet was remembered by many people.
It’s the twelfth day of the eighth month of the eighth month of the Ming Dynasty.
When the news reached the harem, the queen was taking a nap, and the chamberlain who reported the news was waiting outside the door.
After the queen woke up, he was introduced into the inner hall. The chamberlain hurriedly reported the matter to the queen. The queen nodded lightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Go, put King Qi in Qizhou
The news of raising many war horses has been released, and I hope that the topic in the teahouse tomorrow will be about the King of Qi raising war horses privately, with the intention of treason."
The chamberlain nodded lightly and quickly withdrew.
The Queen raised her hand to rub the corners of her painful eyes, and asked the nanny beside her softly: "Does Your Majesty know about this?"
The nanny pondered for a moment and then said softly: "I'm afraid I don't know, but I'm afraid the court has already gone down."
The Queen nodded lightly, "Then I will order people to enter the palace quickly and report this matter to Your Majesty one by one."
The nanny was a little hesitant, "Mother, there are not many of us in the court, and I am afraid..."
"Afraid? What is there to be afraid of? Just follow my instructions. This time, I will make sure that Concubine Shen Shu and her son will never be able to turn around again." (To be continued)
