Bright Spring

Gradually, she remembered the things she had met with Zhu Gaoxu many times.

Getting close to him for the first time was just a deception.Shen Xushi deliberately hung the earrings on her collar and asked Zhu Gaoxu to help her get them; many years have passed, and although she only wanted to use Zhu Gaoxu to deal with Mu Sheng's persecution, she still remembered that her heart beat faster at that time.

Shen Xu also remembered the special chair in the pear garden.The time she lost the bet, in broad daylight, her unacceptable posture.When Shen Xu thought of the scene at that time, his face suddenly became hot.It was obviously unbearable and felt very humiliating, but when she thought about it, she felt her chest throbbing.

Where can she rest, her mood has already become impetuous and turbulent.

Usually Shen Xu is very quiet, but when she thinks about meeting Zhu Gaoxu, she is very impetuous.For some reason, she was suddenly looking forward to meeting tomorrow in the palace; she couldn't lie to herself, she became a little impatient, as if she was looking forward to something happening.

In the quiet and comfortable days, maybe after a long time, people always want to have some different experiences?

But I made up my mind last time, that was the last skin-to-skin kiss; nothing can happen again!Otherwise, it would be easy to destroy the decision to let Shen Baoyan enter the palace.

Shen Xu sighed faintly, and entangled images like catkins appeared in his mind.

After a long time, the servant Yang returned to this room again.Yang walked to the edge, glanced at Shen Xu's open eyes, then bent down and said, "Ma'am, this servant has asked the young lady. The young lady said that the stepmother has nothing to do with her, and she is not willing to go."

Shen Xu frowned slightly, immediately lifted the blanket and sat up.She was a little unhappy and said: "She has grown up, so she doesn't want to be obedient anymore!"

Yang said: "Isn't it? If the girl's family doesn't get married earlier, it will be the most difficult to control. However, the servant feels that Xu Cailiu met the young lady a few days ago, and I'm afraid he said something that shouldn't be said."

"Oh?" Shen Xu looked up and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Yang said: "I didn't dare to talk too much before."

Shen Xu clasped her hands in front of her belly and walked slowly in the room for a while.

Yang asked: "Why don't Madam go and talk to Miss in person?"

"No need, if you force her at this time, it will be counterproductive." Shen Xu said, "My mother may not be able to control her, let alone me as a stepmother."

"Yes." Yang said, "Does the servant have to prepare for the itinerary for Madam to enter the palace tomorrow?"

Shen Xu didn't say a word, just walking back and forth in the room.She seemed a little restless, sometimes paced; sometimes she sat in front of the dressing table and looked at the bronze mirror, but she couldn't sit for a while, and soon stood up again.

Seeing this, Yang said, "Didn't the eunuch surnamed Wang say that in the morning? Your Majesty wants to discuss important matters with his wife. When he was a prince, didn't he often discuss matters with his wife? Now that he is an emperor, if he just wants to call Madam, I'm afraid it's not good to be disobeyed by you."

Shen Xu turned her head to look at Yang, and almost said what was in her heart: only talk about business, do you believe it?

Chapter 645 The Palace of Rouyi

The sun had not quite risen; a damp mist hung in the air, and dew hung on the leaves of the weeds along the road.At this time, Shen Xu's car had already arrived outside Dong'an Gate, and she saw the majestic imperial city and the high city wall ahead.

It was the first time in her life that she came to the palace, and Shen Xu felt inexplicably nervous and apprehensive.As a businessman, it is really rare for her to enter the palace.

The group stayed at Donganmen for a while, and soon arrived at Donghuamen.

Shen Xu got off the carriage, and the eunuchs around stopped.The eunuch Wang Gui next to him said: "You have to be searched when you enter the palace. This is the rule. Even princes and dukes are no exception when entering the palace. Don't blame Mrs. Shen. Madam first goes to the gatehouse, and when the maids have finished searching, someone will take you Go to Rouyi Hall. Our family has to go and ask first if the emperor has returned to the palace."

Shen Xu asked casually: "Your Majesty has gone out so early?"

Wang Guidao: "The emperor went to the Xuanwu Gate before dawn. I don't know if he has returned to the palace right now, we will ask first. If the emperor comes back, he should go to Fengtian Gate."

After he finished speaking, he cupped his fists and said goodbye, and Shen Xu also returned the salute.

At this time, several maids led Shen Xu into a room, they closed the door and drew the curtains.Shen Xushi stood there and sighed softly.

She didn't think the body search was inappropriate, it took a lot of time to dress up this morning, I'm afraid the clothes and hair would be messed up.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, rich and noble families became more and more complicated in their attire, but Mrs. Shen Xu preferred simplicity.

She combed her sideburns in a simple style, tied with a dark blue ribbon, and her headgear was only a hairpin inlaid with rubies in silver, so her hair was not messed up at all; with red embroidery on the hem.The color of the dress is only blue, purple, red, and white, but the material is very good, smooth and shiny.

Shen Xu's clothes are very suitable for wearing dark clothes; the blue-colored clothes set off her already white skin, which is as white as snow.The dark and shiny material complements her carefully groomed facial features and fingers, and the colors are bright and distinct.Her dress is unassuming, but she has a delicate and gorgeous look.

Seeing that she was well dressed, the maids searched her very carefully; the maids couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and one of the younger maids even exclaimed softly, "Madam is so beautiful".Shen Xu was too worried just now.

After a long time, Mrs. Shen Xu tidied up carefully and walked out of the room.At this time, the eunuch Wang Gui was already waiting outside the door, Wang Gui said: "The emperor hasn't returned to the palace yet, let's take Mrs. Shen to the Rouyi Hall to wait."

Shen Xu responded, and followed Wang Gui into the Donghua Gate.

"Where is Rouyi Palace?" Shen Xu asked as he walked.

Wang Guidao: "The place is to the north of the Hall of Martial Arts, and to the west is the Fengtian Hall and other three major halls of the outer court. The last time our emperor met with Jiaozhi Chen Jikuo, it was also there."

"Oh...that shouldn't be far away." Shen Xu responded casually.

It sounds like the Rouyi Palace is in the court area, and she saw that the palace was full of people, so she couldn't help but think: Gao Xu summoned her, isn't it really just to talk about business?

At this time, Shen Xu felt that her guess was not impossible.Gao Xu is already the son of heaven, with three thousand beauties in the harem; it was agreed at the beginning that the affair between the two is the last time, and he doesn't have to make things difficult for her anymore.

When Shen Xu thought of this, she felt a little lost.But this is also good, she can have less trouble.

After she and the eunuch Wang Gui walked into the main hall of Rouyi Hall, there was no one there.At this time, Wang Gui asked Shen Xu to wait a moment, and he also withdrew.

Standing alone in the huge palace, Shen Xu immediately noticed the big desk in the middle of the hall to the north.Because the desk was placed abruptly, it would not normally be placed in the middle of the room; this reminded Shen Xu of the study in the Hanwang Mansion in Yunnan, where the desk was also placed in the middle.Obviously it was arranged by Zhu Gaoxu himself.

Looking back to the left and right, she saw that the hall was antique, with some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls; there was a whole row of bookshelves behind the desk against the wall, and there were many books and files on it.

Mrs. Shen Xu paced slowly, walked to the front of the desk, and saw an imperial decree on it.She looked around curiously, it was the imperial decree to make her the wife of the third rank, written by Gao Xu himself.It was written earlier that the Shen Xu family valued righteousness over profit. During the "Battle of Crusades", they supported the crusade army for righteousness, and rewarded them for meritorious service.

After she finished reading the content, a teasing smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen Xu heard footsteps, and when she turned her head, she saw a burly young man walking into the gate of the palace.Shen Xu was stunned for a moment, because Zhu Gaoxu was wearing a military uniform, with a bun on his head, no hat, and sweat on his forehead; if Shen Xu didn't know him, it would be impossible for him to think that this person is actually the emperor!

With a smile on his face, Zhu Gaoxu looked at her and said, "Long time no see, Mrs. Shen is still so beautiful."

Only then did Shen Xu come back to his senses, and hurriedly walked around from the north side of the desk, knelt down on the ground and saluted: "My concubine bows to the Holy One."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't respond, he turned around and closed the palace door!

Shen Xu's face suddenly became hot.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly walked over, and bent down to help Shen Xu.Shen Xu smelled a special smell of sweat.

Then she heard Zhu Gaoxu's voice saying: "Madam has weak bones and strong muscles, and has a beautiful figure, and the posture of kneeling on the ground is even more beautiful and seductive."

There was a buzz in Shen Xushi's mind, and it went blank. She didn't quite remember how Zhu Gaoxu helped her up.She raised her head and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, at this moment her mouth seemed to be blocked by something, unable to speak.Zhu Gaoxu was staring at her neckline with very fiery eyes.

She thought that the meeting in this majestic imperial city and quaint and scholarly palace began with various etiquette and prudent words.However, everything was unexpected.

Shen Xu wanted to say that the last time was the last time.But she finally did not speak.

Zhu Gaoxu seemed to feel that she was a bit reluctant, so he tried to persuade him: "No one else knows here."

Shen Xu's mood was also very impetuous, she felt Zhu Gaoxu's warm|warm palm on her shoulder, and she had difficulty breathing.There was still some rationality in her heart that she thought "shouldn't be", but she quickly became very unsteady; perhaps because she had had skin-to-skin relationship with Gao Xu long ago, she couldn't find a reason to strongly refuse at this time .

She suddenly put her arms around Zhu Gaoxu's neck, and pressed her face against his skin.The hair and clothes that were not messed up in the Donghuamen search before were all messed up in an instant.
