The imperial concubine bows down to me

Shen Zhi really wanted to blurt out that she didn't want to, but she didn't know what reason to keep Liu Shuyan, she could have the life she wanted.Furthermore, according to what Liu Shuyan said at the beginning, Shen Zhi felt that as long as she spoke, Liu Shuyan would probably choose to stay even for Wei Qianer's sake. If she really did, would she choose to stay? So selfish.

Without thinking about the answer, Shen Zhi could only change the topic, and confided all the words that he had prepared to say to Liu Shuyan in the prime minister's mansion in the afternoon: "During the time before the expedition, I alienated the imperial concubine because my father came back. That night, I went to the Penglai Hall and overheard your conversation. I... privately thought that the concubine's kindness to me was all because of my mother, and felt that the concubine had lied to me, so..."

Originally, Shen Zhi said these words very sincerely, but upon hearing this, Liu Shuyan suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Even if I treat Your Highness well because of the Empress, how can Your Highness say that I lied to you? "

"I..." It was originally a tense atmosphere, but suddenly relaxed by Liu Shuyan's smile, Shen Zhi couldn't argue, and didn't know how to answer the question.

At this moment, there was an untimely knock on the door, and then Cao Min's voice came into it: "His Royal Highness, the food and bathing water are ready. Do you want to take a bath first, or have a meal first?"

"Bring in the food, I'll go take a bath after eating alone." Said Yang Sheng, Shen Zhi took his eyes away from Liu Shuyan, and looked into the distance.It wasn't until Cao Min brought all the food over and backed away again that she said again, "Grand Concubine, I didn't think about that, it was my fault, and I won't do it in the future."

In the future... While talking, Shen Zhi didn't know if there was really a future...

Liu Shuyan did not directly accept Shen Zhi's words, but arranged the meals for her, and after watching her eat a little bit, he reminded: "Now I have been demoted to a commoner, and I am no longer a noble concubine. Mrs. Liu is not used to it, so you can call others. Also, what I told His Highness today, except you, me, the emperor and the prime minister, no one else in this world knows about it. Your Highness should not tell others casually. The minister has already expressed his condolences today. Your Majesty, he will wake up tomorrow, and then His Highness will seal the coffin when there is no one in the hall, and send the Emperor to leave. Your Highness will act in front of the ministers later, and you must act like one, and you must not reveal your secrets."

"Everyone knows..." While Liu Shuyan was speaking, Shen Zhi had already swallowed several mouthfuls of porridge. She put down the bowl, looked at Liu Shuyan tentatively, and replied, "Thank you...A Yan for reminding me."

She thought that Shen Tianhe's name was Liu Shuyan. Although he was close, it didn't seem to be a big deal.When there was no one around, Liu Shuyan didn't seem to mind Shen Zhi calling her that, so when she called her like that, it meant that March had passed.

In these three months, Shen Zhi successfully ascended the throne, sat on the throne, and handled some trivial matters left by Shen Tianhe properly.

During this period, Liu Shuyan still stayed with her in the palace, giving her some advice on some matters from time to time, and no longer took over everything like before.After that day in the palace, none of them mentioned anything before the expedition. After getting along for a period of time, the estrangement between the two gradually dissipated.As for whether Liu Shuyan was going to leave the palace or not, after getting along for a long time, even if Liu Shuyan didn't say anything, Shen Zhi knew the answer in his heart, but they both knew it.

For Shen Zhi's behavior of keeping Liu Shuyan in the palace, all the officials and palace people saw it, but no one dared to mention it publicly.First of all, Shen knew that doing this was her own private matter, and it didn't have any bad influence on anyone or anything, but it would help some court affairs, so they had no reason to object; It's the younger sister of Prime Minister Liu Xiuyun, one emperor and one prime minister, no matter how they meddle in their own business, they don't dare to care about being related to these two big men.Not to mention the common people, the right and wrong of the court have nothing to do with them, no matter what the emperor's personal affairs are, as long as she can make the common people have enough food, clothing and warmth to live and work in peace and contentment, the common people will love and love her, so Shen Zhi is here In the eyes of everyone, he was considered a competent and good emperor for the time being, so no one often mentioned Liu Shuyan to interfere with her two.

As soon as the filial piety period passed in March, Shen Zhi immediately recalled the former Jiangzhou Situ who had been relegated under the name of Shen Tianhe back to Beijing by virtue of the shortage of talented people in the imperial court and the official appointment of people. He also thinks that he will think about the official's sophistication, and he will be promoted when he can make a difference in the future.

After the affairs of the court were over, Shen Zhi planned to pay a private visit to Liuzhou in a micro-service.Firstly, she wanted to go over there to see how the situation there was after the last rectification; secondly, Shen Zhi felt that although the "robber" he met in the mountains last time was a boss, Shen Zhi felt that although he had done a shady job, But he is still an honest and usable talent. She wants to try to see if he can be recruited. If possible, it would be a good thing to let him go to Liuzhou as an official and reverse the case for his father; thirdly, when she wants to go back to Beijing Then I went to Xie's mansion by the way, paid back the silver taels owed last time, and sent some things over there, which can be regarded as repayment.

For this trip, Shen Zhi only brought two hidden guards and Liu Shuyan, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to go out and have fun with Liu Shuyan, after all, if she hadn't stayed in the palace for Shen Zhi, she could have stayed like this forever Carefree.

The two observed the people's sentiments while playing, and uncovered some corrupt officials who were rampant in the local area along the way, which can be regarded as solving many problems for the people.

After going from the capital to Liuzhou and making another detour, Shen Zhi arrived in front of the Xie Mansion again.This time, no one took the initiative to open the door, but Shen Zhi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It was a servant who came to open the door. Shen Zhi originally planned to leave after delivering the things, but she was a little worried, and finally explained why she wanted to find Miss Xie Yun, and asked the servant to report.

The servant saw that Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan didn't look like bad guys, so he invited them in and asked them to bring the tea money, and then went to invite them.Originally, Mr. Xie liked to make friends with people, and he would be happy to have a visitor, but because he happened to be away today, the servant had no choice but to invite Xie Yun.

After a while, Xie Yun rushed over, walking in a hurry, with some unconcealable joy in his expression.But after seeing Liu Shuyan next to Shen Zhi, the smile on her face faded, but out of self-cultivation, she still received them politely.

Shen Zhi handed her a box of gold leaves and some fine jade and silk as thanks, but Xie Yun refused to accept it.The two parties declined for a while, but in the end she only took one piece of jade pendant, and returned the rest to Shen Zhi.

When it was time to come, Xie Yun did not forget to warmly invite: "Mr. Shen also knows that my father always likes to make friends with talented people. He happened to be traveling today and will not be back until tomorrow. It is a pity that he could not meet Mr. Shen. The sky is getting darker now. Tonight, why don't you two stay overnight at the mansion, and wait until you see my father tomorrow?"

Shen Zhi knew that even if he met Mr. Xie tomorrow, after this time, maybe the two would never see each other again, so there was no need to see each other again.So when faced with Xie Yun's invitation, she still declined like the last time she came here: "We both have to hurry, so I won't be at the house more than bothering you. Miss Xie will meet later."

But Xie Yun didn't say "I will see you later" like she did back then, but suppressed the disappointment in her eyes, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, it's inconvenient for that little girl to stay...Mr. Good match, a man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance, I wish the two of you will grow up together and grow old together."

"Next..." Shen Zhi wanted to explain, but he thought that Xie Yun didn't know the real identities of the two of them anyway, and they probably wouldn't see each other again in the future, so there was no need to waste any further explanations.She glanced at Liu Shuyan, then changed the topic, with some selfishness, she replied softly, "Thank you."

Liu Shuyan didn't explain, looking at Xie Yun, she also smiled, and left Xie's mansion with Shen Zhi.

Walking on the road, the two of them were talking about the next thing well, but Liu Shuyan suddenly asked: "What do Zhi'er think of Miss Xie's family?"

"Huh?" Shen Zhi didn't understand what she meant by her words, thinking that she was jealous when she saw that she was getting close to Xie Yun, and secretly pleased a little.Unexpectedly, Liu Shuyan's next words made her unable to laugh.

"If Zhi'er likes it, you can take her back to the capital and canonize her as a concubine. When the time is right in the future, you can make her a queen." Liu Shuyan analyzed it righteously, "Her father likes to make friends Xiancai, I think he is also a person with lofty ideals. With his help, Zhi'er's road will become smoother in the future. Miss Xie also likes Zhi'er, and I am afraid that she has been looking forward to Zhi'er since Zhi'er left here. Now that you're back, I think you shouldn't mind your identity, wouldn't it be just right for His Highness?"

Seeing Liu Shuyan's expression, it didn't look like he was joking at all. After thinking about it, Shen Zhi asked: "Ah Yan, so I'm so relieved that I will tell others my identity casually? I don't know the bottom line. In case her father has any evil intentions, Then I'll be in big trouble."

"But Zhi'er's lifelong affairs must be resolved. It is impossible for the ministers of the court to agree that you will not accept concubines and have no children." Liu Shuyan was still serious.

"Then even if I become a concubine, I won't have any heirs. They will embarrass me after all. Since I will always be embarrassed by them, why bother to find someone to pretend to hide for me? , and ruin other people's lives." Shen Zhi is now a little taller than Liu Shuyan, she stood beside her and said aggrievedly, it really made people feel that she was pitiful and cute.

Liu Shuyan sighed, and seeing no one around, he talked to her about the business: "Hasn't Zhi'er thought about the future? When you go back this time, you're going to be overwhelmed by these things."

After being stunned for a while, Shen Zhi also corrected his expression, and seriously answered Liu Shuyan's question: "Think about it. When I was in the palace after I ascended the throne, I often went to the harem to chat with my aunt. Zhe's situation. Although my aunt and Xue Jiang had a bad relationship at the beginning, their love for Zhenzhe has never been lacking. Even after being with Concubine Shu, my aunt has never neglected her care for Zhenzhe. Now Zhenzhe treats others with modesty and courtesy, and has begun to master the etiquette of poetry and writing. If he cultivates it carefully, he will surely become a wise king in the future." After all, although Shen Zhenzhe is the daughter of a princess, she is also the only royal family in Shen Zhi's generation besides her. blood.Shen Zhi became the emperor, so he didn't plan to restore his daughter's body. Now that Shen Zhenzhe is also given the Shen family name, it is reasonable for Shen Zhi to ascend the throne without heirs in the future.

"As for the concubine's matter..." At this point, Shen Zhi suddenly stopped, turned to look at Liu Shuyan, and asked very sincerely, "Before answering this question, I would like to ask Ah Yan, what is your first question?" The second time you choose to stay in the palace instead of living freely, is it also...for the mother and the father?"

There was a faint expectation in Shen Zhi's eyes, and Liu Shuyan saw it.She smiled: "It was the first time, because at that time I was only young, even if I stayed in the palace for a few years, these few years were not important to me for the rest of my life. But the second time No, at that time you had ascended the throne, although the foundation was not very stable, but the trend of the times, there will be no accidents; I was 22 years old at that time, if it was only for my brother and sister-in-law, I would not stay in the palace again " Liu Shuyan didn't want to call Shen Tianhe and the first emperor, because she knew that Shen Tianhe was still there, so that would be somewhat unlucky.

"Then..." Hearing these words, Shen Zhi's eyes shone brightly, and his expectation was even higher.

"In the beginning, I also wanted to wait for you to ascend the throne and then leave. I don't know when it started, but I wanted to make a prison with myself and stay in this palace all the time. Xu Yes, from the day Xue Jiang forced the palace It started; or maybe it started with that cat. It was only until the time before you left Beijing that you started to notice..."

Is it because of... the alienation that I found out...

When he returned to the palace again, Shen Zhi transferred Du Qinning to the position of an idle official.It's not that she thinks that Du Qinning is no longer suitable to be a servant, it's just that Du Qinning and Xue Ruoyu are together, Shen Zhi still hopes that Du Qinning can spend more time with Xue Ruoyu, and her legs... Take good care of it, and it is not advisable to run around and get tired for a long time.

Originally, Du Qinning was an official only for Shen Zhi, but now that she has more talented people around her, even if she doesn't serve as an official, she is willing to discuss with Shen Zhi occasionally about various affairs in the court.After all, if she has time, she would rather spend time with Xue Ruoyu, a soft, cute and clingy little girl like a kitten, and accompany her to read scripts, listen to operas, and even take a walk on the street together. From Qin Ning's point of view, it also made people feel comfortable and comfortable.

After one month passed, Shen Zhi fulfilled his promise at that time and personally decreed that the two of them should get married.Shen Zhi also went to ask for a few glasses of wedding wine. After her invitation, Shen Handong and Yan Zhaoqi brought Shen Zhenzhe to go too. Everyone at the banquet was in harmony, not at all serious because of Shen Zhi's status as the emperor.

Shen Zhi hadn't been as happy as today for a long time, so unintentionally, he drank some more wine.

She went back to the palace with Liu Shuyan, Liu Shuyan sent her back to the palace and saw that she was drunk, so he was worried about handing her over to Cao Min, so he stayed.She wanted to bathe and wash Shen Zhi's body, but Shen Zhi didn't want to, and she didn't force it.After the two bathed separately, they lay down on the huge dragon bed together.

Although the two fell asleep together from time to time during the private visits, but today, Shen Zhi always felt that it was different from the past.

That day, after Liu Shuyan half-expressed his heart to Shen Zhi, the relationship between the two was still the same as before, without any substantial progress.Even, after that day, Liu Shuyan seemed to have forgotten what she said, and the two of them tacitly maintained this relationship.

With the spirit of wine on his head, Shen Zhi turned his body sideways, wrapped his hands around Liu Shuyan's waist, and did not speak.After pretending to be stupid for a long time, seeing that Liu Shuyan didn't respond, she said dully: "Ayan... I like you." Her voice was like mosquitoes and ants, and her ears were as good as Liu Shuyan, so she almost couldn't hear clearly.

"What did the emperor say?" Liu Shuyan asked.

Xu felt that what he said just now was too embarrassing, Shen Zhi "hummed" twice, but mustered up his courage again, and said to Liu Shuyan in another way: "After leaving the Xie Mansion that day, I haven't told Ah Yan that I want How to deal with the concubine's affairs..."

"If you insist on solving this problem, then Ah Yan...would you like to be Zhi'er's queen?"

The little emperor, who was usually majestic in front of outsiders, buried his head in Liu Shuyan's clothes in shame after saying a word, and Liu Shuyan couldn't help laughing at her: "If the ministers know what the emperor looks like at night, I'm afraid I would rather not allow the emperor to accept a concubine, it would damage Longyan..."

Shen Zhi was talking to Liu Shuyan very seriously, but he didn't expect her jokes instead of her affectionate response, Shen Zhi was a little annoyed.She passed Liu Shuyan's body and turned to the other side, and looked at her in the faint moonlight. Even though her cheeks were already flushed, she still calmly continued to add: "I am the emperor, whoever I want to be the queen is up to me." Forget it... even if there are thousands of difficulties, I will overcome them for Ah Yan. So... will Ah Yan agree to me?"

Knowing that Shen Zhi, who was always well-behaved in front of her on weekdays, said such words because of drinking, Liu Shuyan didn't agree, but said softly: "Your Majesty, you are drunk, go to sleep, we will talk about this later."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi felt a little lost, and finally mustered up the courage to express his feelings once, but this was the result.She narrowed her eyes, pursed her mouth, shrank her body under the quilt, curled her legs up, and looked as if she had been greatly wronged.

The two remained silent for a while like this, and finally Liu Shuyan couldn't see Shen Zhi's grievance, lifted the quilt a little, and took the initiative to stick her lips that were still stained with alcohol, paused for a moment, then stepped back a little, and said softly Said: "Okay, I will accompany you."

Liu Shuyan said and did the three words I will accompany you.

A year later, the emperor and empress got married. On the day of the wedding, Shen Zhi took off the mask, shocking everyone, and never put it on again.However, although her face is very delicate, resembling the former empress, but now that she has reached this point, no one doubts her identity. It is only because she felt that the face of the prince of a country is so detrimental to the majesty. Because of the injury, he has been covering it with a mask and refuses to show his face.

The emperor had no children for three years after marriage, so Shen Zhi adopted Shen Zhenzhe under Liu Shuyan's name.

Although the courtiers found this absurd, fortunately, the rumors about the two had spread since Shen Zhi was still a useless prince.When they got to this point, everyone was mentally prepared. In addition, the emperor is the emperor after all. With the imperial decree and the full support of the prime minister and the Taiwei, the courtiers had to hold back even if they disagreed.

Time flies, and now, Shen Zhenzhe is also weak.

As expected, he lived up to the expectations of Shen Zhi, Liu Shuyan, Shen Handong and Yan Zhaoqi, inherited his father's talents, and became a benevolent and benevolent prince.

More than ten years later, Shen Zhi worked diligently to govern the country, the whole Guo State became more stable and united, neighboring countries no longer dared to violate the border, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was another prosperous age.

After Shen Zhenzhe lost his crown, Shen Zhi began to think about getting a Zen seat.Although all the officials tried their best to dissuade her, even Liu Xiuyun and Wei Feng no longer stood by her this time, but in the end she insisted on telling the world and gave up the throne to Shen Zhenzhe.As for herself, while she still had energy, she took Liu Shuyan to visit the mountains and rivers again.Shen Zhiben also wanted to call Shen Handong and Yan Zhaoqi together, but they said they preferred to stay in the palace and guard Shen Zhenzhe, everyone has their own ambitions, and she didn't force her anymore.

Ten years later, Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan ran into Shen Tianhe by accident when they were listening to an opera in a theater.

Shen Tianhe said that he took the token of love that Wei Qian'er once gave him and traveled all over the country, every place they had said they would visit together.Now he's settled down here, has made friends, and is ready to spend his retirement years in peace.Hearing this, after discussing it, Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan also decided to settle in that place for a period of time, and wait for Shen Tianhe a hundred years later, if there is an opportunity, the two will start their journey again.

But who would have thought that Shen Tianhe would not agree to their plan when they heard the two of them, and he didn't want to disturb each other's comfortable and comfortable life, so Shen Zhi couldn't force it.

After bidding farewell to Shen Tianhe, the two returned to the capital. The child adopted by Du Qinning and Xue Ruoyu also grew up, and they fell in love with Liu Xiuyun's youngest son.The children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the elders are happy to hear it, so even if they pick a good day to make a marriage for them.

Hearing that the eldest son of Shen Tai and Li Mulan was a very talented, benevolent and virtuous county king, and later Shen Tai died, he inherited the throne of Shu King and managed Shu very well, Shen Zhi was also very pleased.It's just that due to the past, she has no way to give him more benefits, so she can only let him stay in Shu, so as not to trigger a new round of struggle.

After that, Shen Zhi Liu Shuyan and Du Qinning Xue Ruoyu often walked together, thinking that if something happened, they would take care of each other.It's just because they had more worries, the frequency of their return to Beijing gradually increased, until they were tired from walking, the four of them returned to the capital to live, and they still walked around or chatted every day. Chatting and playing chess, life is also comfortable.

Xue Ruoyu said that when she was young, she had read so many story books, and once fantasized about an earth-shattering love affair, but she didn't expect that in the end, she would fall into the mediocrity by mistake.But if two people really love each other, it's worth it to think about it so plainly, and a lifetime will pass.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan looked at each other and smiled, but did not comment.

No matter if it's earth-shattering or mediocre, in fact, as long as that person is her, it's fine...

The author has something to say: I am in a good mood tonight, after finishing writing it, this is really the longest article I have written, before it didn’t exceed 20, what a shame.Although I have been thinking about ending it before, but I really finished writing it, and I am a little bit reluctant...

Although the ending came a bit abruptly, but in fact, the plot is almost over, and there is nothing to write about after that. Just write about their lives in the next few decades, and everyone's ending is not bad. ……simple is the best.

In the end, I am very grateful to the little cuties here. I feel that the emotional line of my article is not obvious, and I often feel that I am writing without cp, and it is a bit boring. I know this problem, the next part I will get rid of this problem in the article. I hope that each article can allow me to accumulate a little experience. In the future, I can write better and better. We are destined to see you~
