The imperial concubine bows down to me

As Shen Zhi thought, what she asked was not an embarrassing question.Hearing this, Liu Shuyan didn't show embarrassment on his face, on the contrary, he bent his eyebrows and showed a smile that could be regarded as extremely gentle.

Seeing this, Shen Zhi thought that Liu Shuyan would respond directly to her words, but when Liu Shuyan opened his mouth, there were very few words related to it.She said: "His Royal Highness knows that the emperor is the senior brother of my concubine, and my concubine told His Highness that day."

"En." Shen Zhi didn't know what she meant, but he nodded in cooperation, nodded in response, and even took Liu Shuyan's hand, unconsciously tightening it.

"The concubines grew up in the division's gate since they were young, and they seldom go home. Although the emperor often fought with the former emperor when the concubines were young, he spent more time in the division's gate. Therefore, the concubines And elder brother Xiu Yun, is better than being acquainted with the emperor's senior brother. But at that time, the concubine's impression of the queen was all learned from the emperor's mouth. Later, the emperor died of illness and the emperor ascended the throne. He was busy with political affairs every day and had no time to go out of the palace , It was also a time when the concubine came to the palace with the master to visit the emperor, and this is the first time I saw the queen with my own eyes." As he spoke, Liu Shuyan looked forward with divergent eyes, as if he began to recall the past worth recalling bits and pieces Di, "That year, the concubine had just turned six years old. When the concubine and the master arrived in the capital, the queen was giving birth, and the emperor stayed by her side all the time, and some government affairs gradually fell behind. In order to help the emperor share some things, the master I brought my concubine with me and stayed in the palace for a few more days, probably more than two months. But later, because some matters in the master's sect still needed to be handled by others, after the queen's health improved day by day, the concubine set off with the master to return home. The teacher has gone."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi looked up at Liu Shuyan, and found that her expression was already a little moved, and her eyes began to flicker at night.

Seeing Liu Shuyan paused at this point, Shen Zhi was also silent for a while, and then said in a tentative tone: "Then, has the imperial concubine been to the palace again since then?"

The first time she came here coincided with Shen Zhi's birth, if she came back in the future, it stands to reason that Shen Zhi would also remember her.But in fact, Shen Zhi had no impression of Liu Shuyan. Could it be that she only entered the palace once before she entered the palace as a concubine?

"I also came here about 11 years ago. At that time, the master was practicing in seclusion for half a year, and the concubines took advantage of that time to return to the capital to live in the capital for three months. Every now and then, they would go to the palace to look for the emperor and queen. After the master left the seclusion, Came to the capital again to visit the emperor, and when he left, the concubines followed the old man

Traveled to the mountains and rivers. "

Now it was Shen Zhi's turn to be puzzled.If it was 11 years ago, when she was four or five years old, Liu Shuyan lived in the palace for three months, why would she have no impression of Liu Shuyan at all?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Recalling those days, a thought popped up in her mind: Could it be that the noble concubine is...

"Your Highness, do you still remember that girl who came from nowhere, who often gave you small things and then disappeared?" What Liu Shuyan said coincided with Shen Zhi's thoughts.

This result surprised Shen Zhi.She never thought that the elder sister that she occasionally misses in her heart was always close in front of her eyes, but not only did she not recognize her, but she had always regarded her as the enemy who killed her mother and hated her tightly.

Recalling the night half a month ago, she had told Liu Shuyan about this while lying on the bed, and Shen Zhi had a deep understanding of how things in this world happen without coincidence.

But it was embarrassing to say, Liu Shuyan knew she was a daughter at the time, and asked her if she liked herself.At the beginning, he didn't know that the girl was Liu Shuyan, and he didn't realize it when he thought Liu Shuyan was a villain. Now, it seems that Shen Zhi really wanted to go back to that night and cover his mouth so that he wouldn't mention it.

But no matter what, now that the person has found it, apart from feeling a little ashamed, Shen Zhi immediately beamed with joy: "It turns out that the noble concubine is that elder sister—" But the joy was not long, when it came to this point, Shen Zhi had already stopped.

Although she always regarded that girl as her elder sister in her heart, no matter how she looked at it now, Liu Shuyan should be regarded as her elder.It was impolite for her to call her sister that.

Shen Zhi quickly suppressed his smile, and coughed slightly in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, noble concubine, I didn't do it on purpose. It was just because a certain concern in my heart suddenly fell into place, and I was a little excited, so I made a slip of the tongue, please Concubine, don't take offense." While speaking, she deliberately slowed down her pace so that she would land a short distance behind Liu Shuyan's right.

She thought that she was too excited just now and didn't pay too much attention, so it's only natural to express her apology now.

Shen Zhi's sudden change made Liu Shuyan stunned, but soon, Liu Shuyan also realized what Shen Zhi said.

"Actually, the concubine doesn't have to be much older than your highness. It's okay to call you sister when there is no one else, as long as your highness is happy." Liu Shuyan actually didn't want Shen Zhi to have so many scruples in front of her, so after speaking, he saw Shen Zhi's expression Not much relief, she then exerted more force on the hand holding Shen Zhi, and pulled Shen Zhi forward a little, before jokingly said, "Or is it that Your Highness thinks that the concubine is old and cannot be His Highness at this age?" Sister?"

Although he knew that Liu Shuyan was joking with him, Shen Zhi still shook his head quickly and denied it: "No concubine, that's not what I mean, I just think it's disrespectful to concubine like that just now."

"No problem, courtiers and concubines have never been the kind of people who care about secular etiquette. The living Buddha is also a person who has eaten wine and meat, and kept it in the Buddha's heart. As long as he has respect in his heart, he doesn't have to care about it everywhere. Besides, when it comes to etiquette, doesn't His Highness think so?" Is it the most disrespectful thing for the emperor in the whole world for the prince and concubine to walk in the fields hand in hand?" When Liu Shuyan said this, Shen Zhicai finally let go of the guilt in his heart, subconsciously shrugged his shoulders, and walked side by side with Liu Shuyan again stand up.

However, it is not easy to understand the truth, Shen Zhi sighed silently.

She clearly wanted to ask Liu Shuyan why he was so similar to Wei Qian'er, why did he go so far without knowing it?

Apart from feeling fortunate and emotional, Shen Zhi, who remembered his original intention, did not intend to give up.She thought about it for a while, and finally decided to follow the current topic: "According to what the concubine said, in fact, the concubine and the empress did not get along for a long time. But the concubine and the empress are really destined, as long as I know it, the concubine will There are many hobbies similar to my mother's. Like peach blossom and okra, my mother used to like it quite a lot."

Shen Zhi didn't directly point out that she thought Liu Shuyan was too similar to Wei Qian'er, but she was as smart as Liu Shuyan, so she could hear her undertones.

However, Liu Shuyan did not directly respond to Shen Zhi's intentions. Instead, he diverted the conversation aside: "Your Highness is right. But although the concubine has not had much contact with the queen, since the first meeting, the queen's every frown and smile , every word and deed, deeply attracted the concubine."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi couldn't help holding his breath.Although she didn't want to think about that, the many things she experienced recently forced her to think in a bad direction.

First, Du Qinning and Liu Shuyan are not disgusted with women's liking for women, and then Xue Ruoyu, who is pleased with Liu Shuyan's bold heart, and Liu Shuyan just said that she has never been that kind of person who cares about worldly etiquette...

Shen Zhi didn't know if she was thinking too much, but judging from the current situation, the idea in her mind should be possible.It's just that she couldn't ask Liu Shuyan directly, nor could she ask Liu Shuyan like this.

She could only look at Liu Shuyan in a little surprise, silently waiting for her next words.

"Your Highness, do you know that there is a kind of person? You are obviously far away from her, and you can't even get close to her in your whole life, but she is like a white moon, and she keeps casting her faintly visible light in front of your eyes. , attracting you to walk slowly towards her step by step."

Liu Shuyan turned his head to look at Shen Zhi: "Chenqie's mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to Chenqie. Chenqie only had the care of her master and senior brothers since she was a child, but she never felt the real delicate love. Until she met Empress, she cared for my concubine in every detail, and finally let my concubine know how a sister-in-law feels like a mother, and how perfect a woman can be."

"Your Highness should also know that the queen's beauty is not to mention, she is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even her gentleness, virtuousness and virtue are a model for the whole country. Taking the words of the emperor, it is no exaggeration. Almost everything in the queen Everything is worth learning from the world. Of course, it is also worth learning from concubines."

Concubine Gui means... because of her mother's care for her, and her mother's excellence, she was the one she admired since childhood.The reason why she is so similar to her mother is because she intends to learn from her mother?

Realizing that he was thinking too much, Shen Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even his shoulders, which had been slightly timid because of nervousness, finally relaxed.

But it's strange to say that Wei Qian'er is Shen Tianhe's married couple, and the love between the two is obvious to all; while Liu Shuyan is Shen Tianhe's junior sister who grew up with him, and the two love each other Friendship is also immeasurable.There is a difference of more than ten years between the two, even if they look a little closer, there is nothing wrong with it.Even though she encountered some things that shocked Shen Zhi recently, logically speaking, she shouldn't think about the two of them in that way.

After thinking about it, Shen Zhi can only blame himself.But she secretly decided that anyway, Liu Shuyan didn't have that kind of thought about Xue Ruoyu, and she would send Xue Ruoyu out of the palace to settle down after Xue Jiang's matter was over.Otherwise, if she still stays with her day in and day out, her mind will become unrighteous in the long run.

After Liu Shuyan spoke for a long time, Shen Zhi didn't respond, so she asked again: "Is the doubt in your Highness's heart resolved?"

Doubts solved?

But just now, except for a few yes or no questions, she didn't directly express her doubts to Liu Shuyan.She said that, but she had guessed what Shen Zhi was thinking from the very beginning?

Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from the imperial concubine's eyes.

Shen Zhi was about to respond, but suddenly felt his right hand tighten.She subconsciously looked in the direction of the line, only to realize that it was because of the conversation just now. The wind stopped for a while, and the kite swayed and slid slowly down.

But this happens to be a good time to take a breather.

"Go and pick it up alone." As he spoke, Shen Zhi smiled and nodded to Liu Shuyan.Liu Shuyan also nodded at her, and slowly loosened the strength on her hands, and she withdrew her sweaty hands, and ran towards the place where the kite fell.

But it's a trot, but compared to Shen Zhi's usual pace, this speed is still a lot slower.It took a lot of time to come and go.

Xu felt that the chat just now wasn't easy enough, and when Shen Zhi returned to Liu Shuyan's side again, she heard her ask: "Is Your Highness feeling hungry? It's almost time now, why don't we go back to Dongshi to eat something first?" After a while, when the sky gets darker, we can go to the night market. If His Highness thinks that flying a kite today is not enough..."

Before Liu Shuyan finished speaking, she and Shen Zhi heard the eager sound of horseshoes in the distance at the same time.The two immediately collected their expressions and leaned to the side.

Sure enough, within a few breaths, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer.Then, a healthy horse and a woman in red on it came into the eyes of the two of them.

The author has something to say: Your Highness will fail halfway through his official trip.
