After Shen Xiao left the palace, he rode back to the general's palace alone.

The entire General's Mansion is far more majestic than King Jia's Mansion.Although the door studs of King Jia's Mansion are nine vertical and seven horizontal, the General's Mansion is only seven vertical and seven horizontal, but once you enter the gate, the General's Mansion is as spacious and exquisite as Da Nei.

"Miss, the master is in the main hall." A half-grown girl stepped forward to take the rein from Shen Xiao's hand, and skillfully led the horse, which was much taller than her, to the stable.

Holding her skirt, Shen Xiao strode towards the main hall, rushed in without stopping at the door, and almost bumped into Shen Shimao, the old father who was pacing back and forth in a hurry.

Shen Shimao was nearly fifty years old, and he had his first and only child, Shen Xiao, in his mid-thirties.The general had been seriously injured on the battlefield and his heirs were seriously injured. After many years of treatment, it was hard to have such a child. Although it was a girl's family, General Shen did not take it lightly.On the contrary, what made him a little proud was that in just a few years, his girl had become one of the few female generals in the dynasty with one sword at a time.

"Slow down." Shen Shimao evaded, pulled the chair and placed it on the spot where Shen Xiao was about to fall, and Shen Xiao, who was stunned by the corner of the skirt, just fell into the seat.

"Thank you dad." Shen Xiao sat in the chair and raised his head to smile at his father.That's why she doesn't like women's clothes on weekdays. Although beautiful, it's too restrictive.

Only now did Shen Shimao notice that his daughter was wearing a skirt, not the armor she wore when she went to King Jia's Mansion. "Why did you change your clothes? Did you take a bath at the prince's mansion again?" No matter how brave and skilful you are, it is your daughter's house after all, so there is no reason to go to other people's house to take a bath all day long.

"If you like the layout of the clean room in the prince's house, dad will build one for you. If you like the servant girl in the prince's house, dad will have the cheek to ask you to come back. Can you stop running to Prince Jia's house all day long?" Shen The General's words were not a joke, it was a trivial matter for his daughter to take a bath, the recent moves of the court were not good for King Jia, although General Shen had a good relationship with King Jia, he had to put aside the relationship to protect his own family in the face of the Holy Will.

"Father, what are you talking about? That's why you called people back in a hurry?"

Shen Shimao sat on the chair next to his daughter, the servants in the hall had already been sent away, his daughter and him were both in the court, and the father and daughter had always discussed important matters in the court.

"Let me make it clear that the Holy Majesty is going to attack the Jiawang Mansion. You and the Jinyang County Master are the best, but remember to keep your contact with each other less in the future." Shen Shimao returned to the court today, and the Emperor hinted at him at the imperial banquet.

Shen Xiao was very puzzled, "What's wrong with Prince Jia's Mansion? I don't see any relatives who are more low-key than Prince Jia. Is there something wrong?"

"What happened between Prince Jia and His Majesty's mother is the biggest mistake."

Shen Xiao asked rhetorically, "Your Majesty will not let go of your own younger brother, Daddy, you have made great achievements, don't you worry that our Shen family will be after King Jia?"

"This is the second thing I want to tell you." Shen Shimao hesitated to speak.

It was the first time for Shen Xiao to see such a hesitant look on his father, who had always been determined to kill and attack.

"Tell me, I raised your girl in a sea of ​​swords and blood, what else would I be afraid of?" Shen Xiao said so, still worried about the previous thing his father said.The Holy Majesty wants to deal with the Jia Palace?Isn't Jinyang in danger?

"Xiao'er, daddy is just asking you, if you don't want to pretend that daddy didn't mention it."

"You're extra wordy today." Shen Xiao was disturbed by the previous incident, and lost patience seeing his father hesitating.

"If you enter the palace as a concubine, would you like to..." Shen Shimao looked at his stunned daughter, and quickly explained: "You are right, King Jia's low-key behavior is not enough to protect himself, and the Holy Majesty will feel that the Shen family is an eyesore sooner or later. matter. But if you can..."

Shen Xiao curled his lips as if nothing had happened: "Want to be the head of the country? You adopt a girl in the clan and send it in? Let me serve the emperor? Thank you for thinking it out. Besides, even if I enter the palace, with my violence If you have a bad temper, you will have to enter the cold palace within three days, and within ten days you will be killed for offending too many concubines. Even if I survive, all the women in the harem will be buried with the emperor when the old man dies. Do you think I can become a queen? Empress?"

Shen Shimao also secretly scolded himself for being confused, isn't it his precious daughter who he tried his best to preserve? "Once Prince Jia's Mansion falls, it will be our turn soon. I will die if I hand over the military power, and I will die if I don't. Sigh—let it go!"

Shen Xiao suddenly looked up at his father: "If so, what about King Fujia?"

Shen Shimao was not surprised by his daughter's bold idea. He is an old minister of the former emperor. To him, whoever is the emperor, the emperor or the king of Jia, is still the Qin family's world. "Same. Even a gentleman is suspicious. The friendship between King Jia and your father cannot stand any test."

Shen Xiao said in his heart: Indeed.As soon as he heard that he might be implicated by Prince Jia, the old man wished he could cut off his robes and judge his righteousness, it was too disrespectful.It's just that people who have fought on the battlefield for a long time are very cautious about life and death. I think Dad would rather lose his integrity because of her!

"Unless..." Shen Shimao's eyes lit up as if seeing a way out: "Xiao'er, the son of Prince Jia's family has always been interested in you. If the two of you get married, father is not afraid to assist Prince Jia."

Shen Xiao had a chill.I just want to ask my father: It's impossible for the son to be born, can the princess do it?

***

As soon as Lianyue entered the room, she knelt down obediently.

"Do you want to serve in Shiziyuan?" Jin Yang was expressionless when he asked.Lianhua at the side secretly sweated for Lianyue, it would be a disaster for Lianyue to really express her little thoughts.

Jin Yang said again: "If you want to go, just tell this princess, I see that my brother likes you very much, and it's okay if I have one more you or one less in my courtyard. It's better to fulfill your wish." Jin Yang's childlike picture There was a smile on his face, looking innocent, "This is your only chance, do you want to go?"

Of course Lian Yue wants to go.The eldest son has a good personality, which is rare among noble children, and is a nephew who is on a pilgrimage, so his status is extremely noble.It just so happened that the maids serving in the Shizi's courtyard were all ordinary-looking, if she went, she would surely win the Shizi's heart after getting along for a long time.

"The slave only wants to serve the princess." Lian Yue knocked her head heavily on the ground and did not lift it up for a long time.

"What a loyal girl. Since she is so loyal, she will serve in the bedroom from now on." Jin Yang played with the beads.

Lian Yue raised her head in confusion, "Princess, the slave has been waiting in the room all the time!"

"My princess means that you are not allowed to leave the bedroom half a step in the future. Lianhua, take a chain and tie her to the corner of the bed." Jinyang is a cautious person, especially seeing the key to ending the career of the emperor in the palace. During the period, it would be better for the people around her to cause her less trouble. If she is really restless, killing someone is not a big deal to her.

But when she looked at the face of the man kneeling on the ground, the pitiful eyebrows, her heart softened unconsciously.Before Xiao'er picks up Lianyue, let's keep it to comfort Acacia!

***

"Practice like this for half an hour first." Mrs. Song held a bamboo whip in her hand and beat Wu Lianyue: "Raise your arms higher and keep your back straight. Your legs are bent too much, how can you have a good posture? Don't be stiff neck. Now, who are you saluting, and looking fiercely at someone?"

When Song walked behind Lianyue, she couldn't help smiling.Since Mrs. Meng sent her daughter here, she took care to settle all the accounts that had been threatened by Mrs. Meng over the years.

Wu Lianyue's legs began to tremble uncontrollably, and she was already sweating profusely from the half-kneeling position.Song slapped Wu Lianyue's leg with a bamboo whip: "You have to endure the pain, how can you learn the rules without suffering?"

It took two hours to practice just one salute posture.

Mrs. Song is a lazy person, tossing Wu Lianyue's heart didn't get excited for a long time before getting tired.

"Hong'er and Lu'er, bring Miss Yue back to Yuyuan. Since you can't stand up anymore, let's practice kneeling! Your mother is not in good health, and she will still have to kneel when she mourns before the funeral!" Song smiled. order to go down.

Wu Lianyue no longer had the strength to reply.Her legs and waist hurt so badly that people couldn't feel her existence. Hong'er and Lu'er stepped forward to support her, and said gloatingly: "Miss Yue, let's go back to the courtyard to practice. Madam doesn't have time to spend all the time with you."

The location of Guiyu Courtyard was very remote, and Hong'er and Lu'er didn't care that her shoes had fallen off, and just dragged her forward. Her socks were worn out by the rough stone road, and her toes were also covered in blood.

Although Wu Lianyue and her mother lived in poverty, they had never experienced such hardship.Faintly felt that the limit of his tolerance was about to be reached.

After finally enduring the pain and arriving at Guiyu Courtyard, Hong'er held the bamboo whip that Mrs. Song had given her in her hand, pointed at the gray ground and said, "Miss Yue, Madam ordered you to practice kneeling ceremony for another two hours. That's it. let's start!"

Lu'er, who had gone out in a hurry, came back at this time, holding a small fruit plate in her hand. "Hong'er, I asked my sister in the Third Girl's Courtyard to ask for some melon seeds, come over and try them, this time they are very good."

The two girls sat on the chairs, knocking on the melon seeds, and threw the melon seeds all over the floor.

Wu Lianyue knelt on the slate floor without even a mat, tortured both mentally and physically, and gradually became a little confused.But as long as she was distracted for a moment, Hong'er would stand up and whip her with a bamboo whip, waking her up painfully.

I don't know how long I've been kneeling, but Hong'er and Lu'er suddenly stood up and secretly hid the melon seeds behind her: "Sister Qiaoer."

The eldest girl in Song's room came suddenly.

Wu Lianyue was disheartened.I don't know what new tricks I came up with when I came here specially.

"Don't hide it, it's nothing to eat snacks, just remember to clean up the floor." Qiao Er came in with a smile, and said to the red and green two: "It seems that it's dinner time. I'm afraid you two won't leave without your wife's order." For dinner, I'll come and replace you two for a while."

"Sister Qiaoer has eaten?" Hong'er asked attentively.

"It's been used. You two go too!"

Hong'er and Lu'er went happily, Qiaoer immediately stepped forward to help Wu Lianyue: "Miss Yue, don't kneel down."

After helping Wu Lianyue sit down on the chair, Qiaoer took out a few pieces of snacks from her arms: "Girl, just eat some with tea, or you won't be able to bear it."

"This snack..." Wu Lianyue said weakly, "It must be poisonous!" How could the girl in Song's room be nice to her, she must have ulterior motives.

"I'll tell you the truth, my mother used to serve in Madam Meng's room. Madam is kind. My family would not be able to live without Madam in the worst years." Knowing that Wu Lianyue was worried, Qiao Er took a sip He ate the snacks by himself, and drank the tea on the table: "Don't worry, it will be too late when those two little girls come back."

Wu Lianyue was tired and hungry, seeing that Qiaoer was fine after eating, she asked again: "Have you...have you taken the antidote?"

Joel was dying of anxiety.Why is it so hard to kindly persuade this young lady to eat something? "Could it be that you won't eat any food in the house in the future? Wouldn't that make you a god? You listen to the advice, at least eat something to fill your belly, Madam won't give up easily. Now that Madam Meng is gone, you will be in the house in the future , I will try my best to take care of you."

Wu Lianyue stood up unsteadily while leaning on the armrest of the chair: "What do you mean my mother is gone?"

"If the girl sent by the master just ran back and forth, Mrs. Meng will go soon after you leave."
