The imperial concubine bows down to me

That day, Shen Tai finally listened to Chang Sun Ying's persuasion, gave up resistance, and let Shen Zhi put him under house arrest in the palace.Now that Li Mi has left, Li Mulan originally wanted to confess to him that Li Mi had arranged for her to approach him in the first place, but seeing his distraught appearance all day long, she was really reluctant to make his mood worse.

After a few days of hesitation and a long talk with Liu Shuyan all night, Li Mulan finally decided to stay by Shen Tai's side and accompany him through the rest of his life.Firstly, Shen Tai really treated him wholeheartedly, secondly, she actually already had Shen Tai's child.When the child was born, she thought that Shen Tai might be able to get out of the shadows of the past, even if it was for the child, he would start a brand new life.

It was the first and last time for Shen Tai to stand in the imperial court. Shen Zhi took back the title of King of Jin and changed his title to King of Shu.As for the matter of treason, Shen Zhi covered it up for him, and the previously mentioned that the throne cannot be hereditary and cannot return to Beijing forever, Shen Zhi was soft-hearted, and he thought of the family relationship with Shen Tai for more than ten years and Shen Hongzhe's great contribution to the Shen family. Da En, he didn't mention it again, which can be regarded as preserving his previous wise image in the hearts of the people.

Li Mulan's younger brother is a malleable talent. As soon as Liu Shuyan told Shen Zhi, Shen Zhi spared him the crime of sitting together, and let him go to Shu with Shen Tai and Li Mulan to train him carefully, so that he can benefit the people there in the future .As for the other people in the Taiwei's mansion, although Liu Shuyan persuaded Shen Zhi not to be too merciful, but because several of Li Mi's sons had gone to Xiliang with him, Shen Zhi still released all the innocent people, and had nothing to do with him. Many people Li Mi implicated were all exiled, and he did not kill a single person.

Although Liu Shuyan didn't agree with it in his heart, but thinking that Shen Zhi's foundation was not too stable, if he started killing at this time, it would leave people with nothing to talk about, so he didn't persuade him much, so that's all.

As soon as Shen Tai left here, Shen Zhi cleared out some of his accomplices who were also plotting against him. As soon as the court situation stabilized, good news came from the front.The Guo State was victorious, Xianbei had surrendered, and promised to cede land and pay compensation to end the war.It is estimated that after one month, Shen Tianhe will lead some soldiers back to the court first, and the rest will be handed over to Shen Tianhe and the newly appointed garrison general.

The battle didn't last long, firstly because Guo's army was already well-trained, coupled with the emperor's personal conquest, the supply of food, grass and horses in the rear were in place in time, and the high morale was incomparable to Xianbei.Before a few big battles, Xianbei became discouraged, and it was considered half defeated without a fight.

The weather in April is just right, there are no major events in court for a while, compared to before, Shen Zhi is considered to be temporarily idle.Going to court every day, approving memorials, listening to brothers and sisters Liu Shuyan and Liu Xiuyun tell her about the way of being a king, the biggest thing left is to make preparations and wait for Shen Tianhe to return to Beijing.

On this day, Du Qinning also had time to play chess with Shen Zhi in the East Palace, and he was still in the gazebo in front of the Lizheng Hall.

Cao Min made a pot of good tea for the two of them, and sent someone to serve some snacks to set aside, then he retreated to a distance to watch, giving them enough space to talk.In fact, the people in the East Palace are all their own people now, and Shen Zhi is no longer cautious in speaking in the past. At least she dares to say some things when she is outside.

For example, as soon as the child fell, she smiled and chatted with Du Qinning: "Qinning, how are you and Miss Xue doing these days?"

Du Qinning actually heard what Shen Zhi was talking about, but after all, she liked Shen Zhi for so many years, and when Shen Zhi asked about this in person, she still felt that she didn't know how to say it.Dazed, she also chuckled, and changed the topic: "Why don't your highness tell me about the matter between your highness and Miss Xia?" The joking words, but for some reason, contained some indescribable astringency.

Sure enough, the change was not small, Du Qinning, who had never been serious in his speech, actually made a joke with Shen Zhi so casually.

"Whether Gu has anything to do with her? Others don't know, so Qin Ning doesn't know?" As he spoke, Shen Zhi also laughed, "A few days ago, Gu sent someone to buy a house in the capital, and the four girls have already moved secretly. It’s over, and it’s estimated that their families will arrive in a few days. At that time, I’ll give them some silver taels, and if they’re willing, they can live incognito in this capital, and I’ll guarantee their safety.”

Hearing this, Du Qinning didn't dwell on this topic, and asked again: "Then what about your highness and your husband? After such a long time, has your highness's feelings for your husband not changed a little bit?"

There should be a little... change, right?

Seeing that Shen Zhi was stunned for a while, Du Qinning said again: "Your Highness may not have too much emotion, but in fact, as an outsider, I may see more things. From the beginning of getting acquainted with Mr., Your Highness I can see every bit of change in my attitude towards my husband. I..."

Du Qinning was about to get to the point, but Cao Min interrupted her from a distance at this time, which was also a reminder: "Your Highness, servant, Miss Xue is here."

Hearing this, Du Qinning immediately stopped what he was about to say, and the two of them looked across the road together, and sure enough, they saw Xue Ruoyu walking towards this side.She was still holding a ball of white flowers in her hand, which was too far away, and she couldn't see what it was for a while.

"Your Highness, I'm going to have a look." Du Qinning nodded to Shen Zhi, and seeing Shen Zhi also nodded, she got up and walked towards Xue Ruoyu.

Seeing Du Qinning passing by, Xue Ruoyu also smiled.Sitting in the gazebo, Shen Zhi looked at the two of them, watching their much more intimate interaction than before, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.Ever since the incident with Xue Jiang, Shen Zhi has never seen Xue Ruoyu smile like before. Now it seems that Xue Ruoyu just... doesn't want to smile in front of her and Liu Shuyan.

In the end, she still blamed the two of them in her heart.

After Du Qinning and Xue Ruoyu said a few words, they walked towards the pavilion again.As the distance got closer, Shen Zhi fixed his eyes to see clearly, it turned out that Xue Ruoyu was holding a white cat in his arms, and its appearance was almost the same as the one she and Liu Shuyan had seen on the ring before.

Li Chengbi, who was so arrogant in the arena that day, was just a son of Li Mishu.When Li Mi left the capital, he did not take him away with him. If there is no accident, he has already suffered a lot on the road of exile, so he must restrain his temper.

"Caomin has seen His Highness the Crown Prince." Xue Ruoyu spoke in a strange tone.Even her smile just now has completely disappeared.

Shen knew he was helpless, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only say politely: "Miss Xue, you're welcome, sit down."

Hearing this, Xue Ruoyu nodded her head in response, and after Du Qinning returned to the seat she had just sat down, she sat next to Du Qinning.Xu Shi felt a little uneasy when she saw a stranger. The cute white cat in her arms started to move, and even let out a "meow meow" sound that made people feel itchy.

"Be good, don't be afraid." Xue Ruoyu patted the white cat's head, smoothed its fur, and comforted it.Such a gentle tone, if it was just before, Shen Zhi would not believe that it came from Xue Ruoyu's mouth.

Shen knew that he didn't understand these things, and when he saw the white cat wriggling in Xue Ruoyu's arms, he thought it was hungry, and asked kindly: "Could it be that it wants to eat? Or... let Cao Min get some Come eat?"

"Don't bother His Highness, Cao Min just fed it some sweet potatoes when he went out." Said, seeing that the white cat still couldn't calm down, Xue Ruoyu changed its position and hugged it on its back.

Looking up at Xue Ruoyu with all four feet up, the white cat didn't move at all, it just kept turning its bright eyes and lingering back and forth in different places on Xue Ruoyu's body.

Shen Zhi chuckled, unexpectedly, it turns out that Mao Mao is also a "lusty" master, and like a human being, he likes to look at beautiful women.

But since it wasn't hungry, Shen Zhi didn't have much to say.Seeing that Xue Ruoyu and Du Qinning had no intention of speaking again for a moment, she thought for a while and then asked again: "Miss Xue is entering the palace today, but what do you want to say about Xun Gu?" Otherwise, she was still angry Temperament, it should be impossible to run into the palace just to find Du Qinning - it was Li Zhengdian who came here, which easily brought back those memories that easily made her sad.

Xue Ruoyu nodded: "Yesterday, the grass people went to the market with nothing to do, and happened to see a merchant selling kittens. They looked good, so they brought back two. Thinking that His Royal Highness might like it, take advantage of Qin Ning He also entered the palace today, so Cao Min wanted to send one to His Highness, as an apology for what disturbed His Highness a while ago." As she spoke, she handed the white cat forward.

One mouthful of "Grassman" and "His Royal Highness", so familiar.But Shen Zhi had no other choice, he also leaned forward, and took the cat carefully: "It's really cute, Gu likes it very much, thank you Miss Xue, Gu will definitely take good care of it." Shen Zhi said so, and smoothed the cat's fur, but in fact, she was thinking that Liu Shuyan would also like this cat. It just so happened that she didn't have much time, so it would be great to let Liu Shuyan feed it.

Seeing that Shen Zhi agreed, Xue Ruoyu seemed unwilling to stay here any longer.After briefly talking to Shen Zhi about some things that need to be paid attention to, she asked Du Qinning to play chess with Shen Zhi, while she just found an excuse to go back home.

Shen Zhi only thought that she hadn't solved the knot in her heart, and she didn't want to see him more, and she didn't think about it too much.As soon as Xue Ruoyu left, she handed Maomao over to Cao Min for the time being, and then continued to play the chess game with Du Qinning that had just begun.

After a game of chess, Shen Zhi won.During this period of time, she occasionally played games with Liu Shuyan, although the number of times was not many, but every time Liu Shuyan made a point, her chess skills have improved a lot.Seeing that the time was almost up, she was about to stay with Du Qinning for an afternoon meal in the East Palace, and the two of them wanted to chat about the old days, but just as they were about to speak, someone from Du's residence said that she needed to go back to deal with something, and called her gone.

Since there is something to do, Shen Zhi doesn't need to stay longer.

After sending Du Qinning away, Shen Zhi simply ate something to fill his stomach, and asked Cao Min to feed Maomao some steamed carrots, and took it with him to go to Penglai Palace to look for Liu Shuyan.
