It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

The voices in front of him finally stopped, and there was an unbelievable silence all around.

Shen Jinghe knelt in the front hall with his upper body upright, his eyes widened in surprise, his heart was full of astonishment, he could hardly believe what he heard.

After Dequan finished reading the decree, he rolled up the decree with a smile, and said with a deep meaning, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness, this is a great joy, why don't you accept the decree to thank you?"

Shen Jinghe took a deep look at the imperial decree that was destined to cause turmoil in the front and rear palaces, held the decree in both hands respectfully, and thanked him in his mouth, "The emperor accepts the decree, thank you for your father's long grace, long live your father, long live your father!" !"

The emerald beads adorned on the ritual robes on his body were shining brightly under the sunlight, and the green smoke from the incense table in the hall still lingered. Shen Jinghe couldn't come to his senses for a long time while holding the imperial decree that seemed to weigh a thousand catties .

This is what the Queen meant before?

He ascended to the sky in one step and became the prince under the empress's palace. If he were to be placed on someone else, he might faint with joy immediately.However, while Shen Jinghe was astonished and shocked, he raised 12 points of caution in his heart.His identity is already sensitive, and now he has a relationship with the empress on the surface, I am afraid that the temptations and targets he will endure in the future will be more sharp and varied.

There was a ripple in his eyes, but soon, the ripples returned to a deep calm.

In the turbulent times of his previous life, he was still able to blaze a trail step by step.Now that there are so many gifts from God, he has no reason not to do his best, just to live up to this precious second life.

Handing the reward money to Dequan himself, Shen Jinghe took a step forward and lowered his voice, "On the other side of the empress...do you have any instructions?"

Dequan looked left and right, bowed slightly respectfully, "there is nothing else. It's just that Changle Palace has been quiet and silent for the past six months, and the empress only hopes that His Highness will come to accompany you as soon as possible, so as to add some popularity to the palace. "

There was a flash of clarity in Shen Jinghe's eyes, he thought for a moment, and then replied: "I also ask the father-in-law to pass a message to the empress for me, only that the emperor will go to Changle Palace to show his filial piety in front of the empress after finishing the chores in hand." .”

Dequan naturally responded kindly.After sending Dequan away, Shen Jinghe recruited all the palace people in the side hall who had been shocked since just now to the main hall, and spoke leisurely with his hands behind his back.

"Before I leave, I have something to clarify with you."

……

The sixth prince, who was living among the people, became the adoptive son of the empress shortly after returning to the palace. This incident swept away the entire palace and court like a storm.Horrified discussions and doubts filled every corner inside and outside the palace, and even the folk neighbors have been spreading word of mouth about this royal novelty recently.

There may not be any big movements on the side of the third prince, but the courtiers of the first prince's faction jumped out to oppose it first.Memorials criticizing the lack of etiquette were presented in front of the imperial case like snowflakes, and from time to time, some people in the court tried their best to remonstrate with their necks.Surprisingly, the emperor's attitude this time was unprecedentedly tough, directly and rarely suppressing all opposing voices with an iron fist.

The decree has been delivered, and the ancestor worship is over, no matter how much others sigh and jump, they can't change the fact that it is a foregone conclusion.

In recent days, the court seems to be surrounded by dark clouds and wind and rain, and the two factions that have been deadlocked for a long time seem to have undergone subtle and unspeakable changes in the dark.Among the ministers, the one who had been vacillating and never stood in line completely put out his thoughts of belonging to a certain faction early on, and just restrained his movements and quietly watched the subsequent situation.

In the dusk, a large piece of sunlight is laid out among the flowing clouds, and the deep and light rouge and smoky purple colors are casually splashed on the gradually dimming sky.

Shen Jinghe sat in the main hall with the scroll in his hands, but his mind was not on the scroll in his hand, he just looked out of the Linghua window thoughtfully.

Today is the last day he stays in Qingyun Palace, and tomorrow morning, he will take the belongings he has selected and his only attendant, Cheng Mo, and leave this side hall that witnessed his life in the palace for the first few months .

——Yes, among the dozens of people in the side hall, he only decided to take Cheng Mo away in the end.

The memory of a few days ago is still clear. In the main hall, how the group of trembling but secretly full of expectations hoped to follow him to the sky, and how dejected and disheartened they were when they heard him announce his decision, I can still vividly remember.

He looked at their disappointment beyond words, but he just didn't change his face.

He naturally knew that in the past few months, the palace people in the palace had been busy secretly spying on and conveying their own situation as the eyeliner of many people, but they were just too lazy to bother to care about these low-level methods.Now he just doesn't use his wrists to punish them, and if he wants to bring this group of maidservants who have not sincerely submitted to him from the beginning to Changle Palace, he really thinks his life is too long.

Shen Jinghe turned the scroll to the next page, glanced at it casually, looked sideways at the light smoke rising from the Pixiu small stove, tapped his fingers and waited.

Today is the last night, the guest who I have been waiting for for a long time, I am afraid it is time to visit the door.

Through the half-opened diamond window, Shen Jinghe glimpsed from the corner of his eye a face-faced palace lady who was clearly dressed much more elegantly than ordinary palace people, walking into the gate of the courtyard, and the corner of her mouth twitched inexplicably.

There is no need to bother him to continue to wait.Well, the person who should come has come to your door.

After passing the transmission, Jin Xin raised the blue satin curtain and stepped into the main hall, but met Shen Jinghe who had been sitting on the main seat with his hands down earlier, and had a face-to-face meeting.She couldn't help being stunned, apparently she didn't expect that the sixth prince, who was extremely good-looking and demeanor, seemed to know about it a long time ago, and was sitting firmly with a scroll in his hand, looking straight at her calmly.

However, after all, Jin Xin has been serving Concubine Xu for many years, so it can be said that she is used to the storm, but within a few breaths, she has adjusted her expression and posture.She bowed politely, but the faint trace of consideration that was originally revealed in the corner of her eyes has been carefully and carefully put away by her.

"I've seen His Highness Six. The maidservant is Jin Xin who is served by the imperial concubine. The empress knows that His Highness will move to Changle Palace tomorrow. She is worried that there will be some discomfort in changing the dormitory for the first time. She specially sent a servant to invite His Highness to go to the main hall to give some advice. .”

Shen Jinghe's smile deepened, and a surprised and slightly bewildered expression naturally appeared on his face.

"I have long heard that the imperial concubine is always sympathetic to everyone, but now I know that this is [-]% true. Earlier, I sent a lot of food and household items to my side hall, and now I have specially sent someone to take care of them. It is true. flatter me."

Hearing Shen Jinghe's words, Jinxin didn't even mention the difficulties they made for him when he first entered the palace, and he couldn't help being secretly startled at the moment.

Shen Jinghe didn't seem to notice the slight change in her expression, but just nodded at her, with a bright smile and a youthful air of ignorance of the world.

"Then Lao will lead the way."

Walking all the way into the main hall with a faint sweet fragrance, Shen Jinghe lowered his eyes to suppress the sarcasm that appeared in his upper eyes for a moment.He has been staying in Qingyun Palace for more than a month and he has not been able to step into the gate of this palace, but he was lucky enough to see the beauty of the noble concubine the day before he left.

After Jin Xin led him into the main hall, she consciously retreated to Xu Guifei's side and bowed her head to wait respectfully.Shen Jinghe glanced curiously at the carved beams and painted buildings on both sides, and the lord of the hall cast his eyes on himself, sizing him up vaguely, but he didn't seem to notice it.

When he finally came back to his senses and turned his gaze to the center, the scrutinizing gaze disappeared in a flash.With a clear smile, he took a step forward and cupped his hands.

"I have seen the imperial concubine, the empress has a phoenix body and is safe."

With a loving smile in Concubine Xu's eyes, she beckoned Shen Jinghe to her side.She carefully looked at Shen Jinghe's face, looking at the face that was almost the same as that of the emperor when he was young, there was an imperceptible darkness in her eyes.

"Jin Xin, come quickly and help Bengong take a look. Why does Bengong seem to be stupefied when he was taking a nap just now, and in a blink of an eye, he saw His Majesty standing in front of him!"

Concubine Xu Gui covered her lips with her sleeve and whispered coquettishly.

Jin Xin hurriedly came up from the side with a smile, and joked.

"Don't say it's your majesty, even the servants have just seen it, and they feel that they have seen His Majesty when he was young."

After saying that, he turned around and saluted Shen Jinghe.

"Our lady has been thinking about you ever since she heard the news that His Highness the Sixth Highness is going to enter the palace. It's a pity that the phoenix has been in a state of illness for the past few days, so it's too late to talk to His Highness. Now that I've finally recovered, His Highness We are about to move out of our Qingyun Palace. Your Majesty has not been able to sleep well for the past few days, and she only thinks that she must meet His Highness, and a big stone in her heart will fall heavily. It can be seen that our Majesty loves Your Highness. It's heavy."

Concubine Xu Gui listened to Jin Xin's words with a smile, and then gave her a sideways glance reproachfully.The beautiful eyes flowed, and then turned back.

"Don't listen to this girl's mouth, I'm too used to her on weekdays. You and the other princes are generally His Majesty's dragon heirs, so I naturally need to take care of you." Concubine Xu Gui stretched out her arms Rubbing her temple hair, inadvertently, she changed the topic lightly, "Have you packed up all the things you want to take away? Changle Palace has also been quiet for half a year, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of people in the palace. When you leave, I will take care of you." Pick a few smart palace servants to serve you."

Shen Jinghe lowered his hands, leisurely listening to the master and servant coming and going, singing and singing together, he only felt that the acting skills of the two were better than the actors in the Liyuan Theater in the previous life, it was amazing.Now hearing that Concubine Xu Guichang changed the subject and turned the topic to herself, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, knowing that the main event was about to begin.

He raised his spirits, rarely felt a bit of interest, and decided to dutifully accompany them to perform this play well.

"The emperor understands the painstaking efforts of the empress, and he is very grateful. It's just..." He frowned, showing a bit of embarrassment on his face.

Concubine Xu Gui heard that he had a hint of refusal, her heart tightened, she grasped the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and frowned suspiciously, "Just what?"

Shen Jinghe took a deep breath, and waited until the unnaturalness on his face subsided by two points, then turned his head to look at Concubine Xu Gui earnestly, and cupped his hands.

"The emperor dare not hide it from the empress, and I only hope that after the empress hears it, don't make fun of the emperor." Shen Jinghe pursed his lips, and said hesitantly, "The emperor grew up among the people since he was a child. I'm used to living a hard life, but...but I'm not used to having so many people around me."

He lowered his head apprehensively again, suppressing a trace of shame on his face, "Perhaps the emperor was not born with such a rich life..."

Hearing his words, Concubine Xu Gui held the handkerchief in her hand and was stunned for a while, then forced a smile and said a few words of comfort.She was terrified in her heart, for a moment she didn't know whether the sixth prince was really so worthless, or he was using these words to block her.

In any case, it is not good for her to continue to use this as an excuse to forcibly insert eyeliner into Changle Palace.She asked Shen Jinghe a few more words, but he didn't seem to understand the meaning of her temptation at all, he straightened his head and said some meaningless polite words, which made Xu Guifei almost lose his temper fall on one's back.

After talking for a while, Shen Jinghe felt that the host and guest had a good time, his mother was kind and his son was filial, but Concubine Xu was irritated by his half-truth and half-pretend to be crazy and foolish.

It was getting late, and guessing that there was no meaningful information to be obtained from interrogation, Concubine Xu had no choice but to grit her teeth and waved helplessly.

Shen Jinghe couldn't help nodding his head respectfully, saying goodbye again and again.Before leaving, he hesitated, stopped and turned his head, "By the way, empress, the emperor still has a merciless request..."

Concubine Xu Gui looked at his back and was already a little hopeless. Hearing this, she cheered up and asked with a sly smile, "What's the matter? Just say it's okay."

"This... the emperor is a little embarrassed." Shen Jinghe lowered his head shyly, quietly raised his eyelids, and looked at Xu Guifei with hope.

Concubine Xu Gui now became more and more sure that she finally had a handle on Shen Jinghe, she smiled even more, sighed again and again, and said distressedly, "Look at you, why are you being polite with me. Why, someone made things difficult Are you still worried that you will not get used to it after going to Changle Palace?"

Shen Jinghe blinked, with a grateful smile on his face, "I shouldn't have bothered the empress with such trivial matters, but I just heard what the empress said, and knew that the empress is always a bodhisattva, so the emperor dared to speak up." Speak boldly."

Under the expectant eyes of Concubine Xu Gui, he finally spoke slowly, "It's not a big deal...it's just that when the emperor first entered the palace, the empress ordered Miss Jinxin to stuff it into the hands of the emperor's attendants." A box of snacks, Huang'er still feels the fragrance on his lips and teeth when he thinks back to this day, and he can't stop thinking about it."

He smiled shyly again, "I see that the emperor will leave tomorrow, but I don't know if the emperor has such a good food, and before I leave, I will ask for a box from the empress palace to taste it?"

"You, you..." The corners of Concubine Xu Gui's eyes twitched, she almost couldn't catch her breath, she clutched her chest and was about to fall backwards.Jin Xin hastily walked forward anxiously, taking care of her, and looked at Shen Jinghe with more and more complicated eyes.

Shen Jinghe, who was sitting down, was at a loss and could only look at her with concern.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty? Are you... still in good shape?"

He consciously muttered in a low voice again, but he didn't know that the voice was heard by the two people in the seat.

"At first, I thought it was an excuse that the imperial concubine was ill and couldn't see me, but now it seems that I really misunderstood the intention of the empress..."

Concubine Xu Gui only felt dizzy, with chest tightness and shortness of breath, and secretly hated the Sixth Prince who looked at Mu Mu blankly, but with just one mouthful, he was able to drive people to death.She managed to let out a breath, her chest kept rising and falling, and she repeatedly waved at the palace people on both sides. The voice that was so gentle just now was a little sharp for no reason, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and give the sixth prince a piece of cake?" How many boxes of snacks are there?"

The resentful voice squeezed out from between the lips and teeth made the maidservants shiver slightly, but Shen Jinghe still didn't seem to hear half of it, and continued to thank him cheerfully.

He turned around and stepped out of the palace door with the snacks in his hand, a playful smile could not help but curl up on the corner of his mouth.After walking a few steps away from the palace gate, the sharp crackling sound of porcelain crackling could be heard from a distance in the hall, which was a lively and jubilant scene.

……

In Changle Palace.

Wei Yuyun beckoned for His Royal Highness's servant girl, and asked carefully, and after confirming that there were no omissions in the side hall prepared for Shen Jinghe, she was relieved to let him retreat.

On the side, Dequan took this scene into his eyes, couldn't help smiling, and bowed his head respectfully, "It can be said that it is the blessing of His Highness the Sixth Highness to receive such care from the empress."

Wei Yuyun sighed lightly, "It's really uncertain whose blessing it is. He's used to suffering, and I'm in love with this child, even if I take care of him a little more, I can only take care of him." Zuo can become this mother-child relationship."

"Your Majesty..." Dequan looked at the queen with some concern.The evening wind in late autumn passed through the hall, and she couldn't stand the cold, so she coughed intermittently while covering her mouth.

Wei Yuyun picked up a bowl of steaming brown medicinal soup from the table table and drank it down in one gulp. The bitter taste of the medicine saturate the tip of her tongue, but she didn't even frown as if she was used to it.

"I'm afraid it's almost time for Zichen Palace to exchange value?" Wei Yuyun swallowed the last sip of the concoction, and glanced sideways at Dequan, "Be careful when you go back, remember to pick the path with few people."

Dequan hurriedly bowed and saluted, "The servant knows. Your Majesty, take good care of your phoenix body, and when His Highness the Sixth Prince comes to live in, the Changle Palace will be more lively if you want to come."

Watching Dequan bow to leave, Wei Yuyun withdrew his gaze, stood up slowly while supporting the exquisitely carved makeup mirror, walked to the window and stood under a newly transplanted early plum.

She looked up at Kazuki's beautiful plum blossoms, and unexpectedly remembered the conversation with Shen Jinghe in the Huaxie.

The fragrance is not in the pistil, the fragrance is not in the calyx, is the fragrance penetrating in the bones?

A faint fragrance came over her face, she stroked the slanted plum branches, and closed her eyes that were gradually rippling from the memories of the past.

The past came whistling, she failed to keep the Wei family, failed to keep Xi'er, and failed to keep her crippled and sick body.

...Only this time, can she manage to keep this young man who is full of tenacity and arrogance from the bottom of his bones?
