The imperial concubine bows down to me

For example, when she comes back from the East Palace, Xue Ruoyu will pour a pot of hot tea with her when she sees her, and ask her to take a good rest; I usually do a lot of work, and I have to mend my body, otherwise she will be exhausted and no one will let her bully me anymore; and last night when she had her period, Xue Ruoyu threatened her by exposing her and making her go to bed, And Xue Ruoyu, who was held in the palm of Xue Jiang's hand since she was a child, unexpectedly packed some inconvenient things for her clumsily and carefully.

In Xue Ruoyu's words, she is a person who knows how to "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade".Although she said it just as a joke, Du Qinning could feel that she would really do it when she said it.

But now, after Du Qinning finished talking for a long time, she didn't respond, but she cried even harder than before.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Du Qinning looked towards the direction of the kitchen. Seeing that the fire was almost extinguished, she was relieved and didn't rush to go there, and instead planned to comfort Xue Ruoyu.

She asked: "Miss Xue, why did the fire break out over there just now, and why are you so sad? If Miss Xue doesn't mind, you can tell me about it, just confide in your heart, I won't tell others .”

It's fine if Du Qinning didn't say he was sad, but Xue Ruoyu felt that he was extremely wronged today.

Although it was her fault that she caused such a catastrophe, wasn't she also doing something delicious for Liu Shuyan to please her?How could she blame her without asking indiscriminately, and embarrass her in front of so many unfamiliar people?

The more she thought about it, the more Xue Ruoyu felt extremely uncomfortable.What he yelled at Du Qinning just now was originally a moment of anger, but remembering that she had always cared about Shen Zhi, she didn't ask her about Shen Zhi's situation, but asked her why she was sad, Xue Ruoyu couldn't hold back for a while, straight He threw himself into Du Qinning's arms.

Anyway, Du Qinning is also a woman, and the palace people went to put out the fire but no one could see her, so she thought that she might as well let herself be self-willed and seek comfort from Du Qinning.

Now it was Du Qinning's turn to be stunned, and she didn't expect that Xue Ruoyu, who was so angry just now, suddenly jumped over and hugged her so tightly as if he had changed into a different person?Still in her arms... rubbing back and forth.

But seeing Xue Ruoyu so sad, Du Qinning couldn't care less about anything else.Although she felt awkward, she reached out and patted Xue Ruoyu's back as a comfort: "Okay, don't cry, such a big girl, crying like this, if your sister Wen Shi saw it, she I should think you are naive again."

Originally, Du Qinning thought that Xue Ruoyu should restrain himself when Liu Shuyan was mentioned.But as soon as she finished speaking, Xue Ruoyu not only didn't stop her, but cried even harder, and stretched out a pair of small hands to beat Du Qinning's heart with all her strength: "Don't tell me about her! Don't tell me she……"

Seeing that Xue Ruoyu reacted so strongly, Du Qinning realized that she and Liu Shuyan had another conflict.But it's good, if she can learn some lessons every time, and she can give up her thoughts about Liu Shuyan as soon as possible, it would be great at that time.

Du Qinning thought so, so during Xue Ruoyu's "buying" of Liu Shuyan's anger for a quarter of an hour, she always maintained a neutral attitude or sometimes echoed when it was appropriate.Even if Xue Ruoyu called Liu Shuyan by name, Du Qinning didn't blame her.

But later, the more Xue Ruoyu thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she even talked with Shen Zhi.

Although Du Qinning knew that Xue Ruoyu was just talking in a fit of anger, she still couldn't help but refute her: "Since entering the palace, His Highness has treated Miss Xue well, and His Highness is also kind about the kitchen matter this time. Why did Miss Xue treat Miss Xue so well?" Your Highness is dissatisfied?"

About two hours later, the atmosphere in the East Palace gradually eased, but the consort's mansion outside the palace was already panicked.

Since more than an hour ago, after Xue Jiang returned to the mansion from nowhere, she has been furious, seeing everything being thrown, and he almost threw away all the worthless utensils in the house.

When the butler came back from the outside, he saw the utensils in the courtyard were broken, so he quickly put down the things in his hands, and went to stop Xue Jiang's hand that was about to fall: "Oh son-in-law, who is making you so angry?"

But with Xue Jiang's skills, if he wants to fall, who can stop him?

"Go away!" He roared, and continued to shake his hands. Not only did the vase in his hand shatter, but he also flew out with the housekeeper.

However, after dropping the last thing, coupled with the persevering persuasion of the housekeeper after he got up from the ground, his anger seemed to be much less than before.But he really couldn't calm down. After taking a few breaths, he said again: "Change the clothes and prepare the horse for me. I'm going to pay a visit to His Royal Highness King Jin!"

As for why Xue Jiang was so angry, it was because he wanted to go into the palace to see how Xue Ruoyu was doing, but he didn't expect to be stopped by people from the East Palace when he reached the door.Those people told him that Guang Luqing was not allowed to enter the East Palace without the order of the crown prince.

That was exactly what aroused his suspicions.He wondered if Xue Ruoyu was doing well or was safe and sound, why didn't Shen Zhi let him meet Xue Ruoyu?Or...has something happened to Xue Ruoyu in the East Palace?

After returning to the mansion and thinking about it, Xue Jiang immediately changed into concealed clothes, and went to the East Palace with a faint uneasiness in her heart.But this time he didn't go through the main entrance, but found a place with few people and climbed over the palace wall, bypassing the patrolling guards, and started searching around.

Coincidentally, as soon as he passed by, he happened to encounter a fire in the kitchen.The palace people even took part of the guards to fight the fire, and even the guards who didn't go were all focused on that side.In this case, relying on his martial arts, it is basically impossible for others to discover him.

He avoided the crowded places near the kitchen, and searched elsewhere for a long time, but he couldn't find Xue Ruoyu.It wasn't until Xue Ruoyu started to say that Liu Shuyan and Shen Zhi were not good, that the figures of Xue Ruoyu and Du Qinning came into his eyes at once.

Xue Ruoyu spoke loudly, Xue Jiang hid where she was, and could hear every word she said.In the end, when Du Qinning started to speak for Shen Zhi, Xue Ruoyu cried even more, which made Xue Jiang really feel distressed.

But just these, he can still accept.What made him unbearable the most was that he witnessed Du Qinning taking Xue Ruoyu into his arms when he was "unwilling".In his opinion, this is no different from the younger sister he held in his hand being treated lightly.

After arriving at Prince Jin's mansion, Xue Jiang told Shen Tai about these things angrily.Same as when he came last time, he wanted to force Shen Tai into the palace.

But Shen Tai also did not agree to his request like last time, instead he persuaded him in a sensible way.

Xue Jiang also knew that what Shen Tai said was reasonable. Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things are informal and good at patience, which is almost an indispensable quality for adults.But for him, other things are easy to talk about, even letting him go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire, but once his sister Xue Ruoyu is involved, he can't persuade himself to calm down and restrain himself.

Seeing that Shen Tai didn't want to help him anymore, he responded to Shen Tai's kind words on the surface, but secretly he came up with the idea that he would do everything he could, and if he didn't succeed, he would be benevolent.

"What your highness said is that I was indeed impulsive just now. Since my sister is safe and sound, I should relax and concentrate on the matter at hand." After finishing speaking, Xue Jiang got up and saluted very formally.He pursed his lips tightly, as if he still had something to say, but the last thing he uttered was only the three helpless words "resignation".

But at this time, in the East Palace, because of the accident just now, after Shen Zhi and Wei Feng had dinner together, they sat down face to face again in the Lizheng Hall, shunned the palace people, and prepared to talk about something serious .

After chatting for a while, Wei Feng stated the reason and purpose of the trip straightforwardly: "Zhier, I don't have to go around with you anymore. Uncle came to Beijing this time because he was entrusted by the prime minister. I came to assist you. After I received the secret letter, I handed over the things in my hand to Deputy Sima, bid farewell to the governor, and rushed over quickly."

Wei Feng was a minor official in Jingzhou before, and was later transferred by Shen Tianhe to Songzhou as the chief historian.Chang Shi was originally an idle job, but the governor of Songzhou appreciated his talents, so he gave him some real power and let him be around, so that his talents would not be useless.

When Shen Zhi heard this, he was overjoyed.Some time ago, when she was considering candidates for the Grand Master, she liked Wei Feng very much, but because of Liu Shuyan at that time, she didn't have time to say it out loud.Now that the matter is over, but Wei Feng can still come here on his own initiative, she must be overjoyed.

But if you are happy, you are happy, Shen Zhi is still a little puzzled about this matter.

She thought, she had never seen any friendship between Wei Feng and Liu Xiuyun before, so why did Liu Xiuyun suddenly remember to invite Wei Feng to Beijing?Reminiscent of what Liu Shuyan said to her earlier, Shen Zhi suddenly felt that it was more likely that Liu Shuyan borrowed Liu Xiuyun's name so that Wei Feng would change his name and come to Beijing to help her.

Just now when Liu Shuyan asked Shen Zhi to follow her, Shen Zhi thought she would give her a little reminder about burning the kitchen.But when they got to the bridge where no one was around, Liu Shuyan didn't say a word about it. Instead, he reminded Shen Zhi not to sleep in the Lizheng Hall for the next few days and nights, and asked her to go to the back of the hall first, and then avoid the palace guards to go to Du Qinning There to rest.

Shen Zhi was puzzled, but when she asked Liu Shuyan, she just said that in a few days, Shen Zhi would naturally know the reason.With Liu Shuyan's answer like this, although Shen Zhi still had doubts in his heart, he could only nod his head in response, and didn't ask any more questions.

In addition to what Wei Feng said now, Shen Zhi always had a vague feeling that something big should happen in the East Palace in a few days, and it was probably related to Xue Jiang or Shen Tai.

Since Liu Shuyan couldn't find out why, Shen Zhi thought, why not ask Wei Feng, maybe he will tell.She nodded, picked up the teapot and teacup next to it and poured a cup of tea for Wei Feng, and then asked, "Then, does the prime minister have any special instructions for uncle's visit to Beijing this time? Or... did the prime minister inform you?" Uncle, what do you want to help Yu Gu with?"

Shen Zhi asked tactfully, but she thought that Wei Feng must be able to hear the implication in her words.

But Wei Feng took the teacup, thanked Shen, took another sip, and answered Shen Zhi's words thoughtfully, but the answer was not what Shen Zhi wanted to hear.

He replied: "The prime minister asked me to return to Beijing temporarily in the name of visiting relatives, and stay in the inn outside the palace for a few days. I will make plans for the rest later." That is to say, within a few days, Wei Feng will be He won't stay here to advise Shen Zhi at any time.

"Outside the palace? Uncle came here this time... isn't it better to live in the East Palace like in the past?" Why would you waste all your time and stay in an inn outside when you can stay in the East Palace?

Hearing this, Wei Feng put down the teacup and shook his head: "Don't bother Zhi'er to arrange a room. Since I was entrusted by the prime minister to come here this time, I should still visit him from time to time. I live in the East Palace. inconvenient."

Although Wei Feng's reasons were not that convincing to Shen Zhi, she thought, since they made such a decision, there must be their reasons, and she didn't intend to break the casserole and ask the end.What's more, they don't want to tell her now, even if she asks, she probably won't get an answer, so why bother?

"Since my uncle has plans, I don't force you to stay. But if my uncle needs to do something alone, you can come to the East Palace anytime to find an orphan."

"Yes." Wei Feng agreed, the two chatted for a few more words, and then he asked to leave, "It's getting late now, I have to go to the prime minister's mansion tomorrow morning, so I will leave first."

After finishing speaking, Wei Feng got up to salute, and Shen Zhi also got up to see him off.When he came to the door, Wei Feng stopped suddenly, turned around, frowned slightly, and told Shen Zhi worriedly: "Zhier, be careful about everything these days."

When Liu Shuyan said this, and Wei Feng also said this, the uneasiness in Shen Zhi's heart became more and more intense.

Not long after Wei Feng left the East Palace, the setting sun gradually went down, and the palace gradually became quiet.At this time, in the main hall of Penglai, rows of candles were still flickering, and Liu Shuyan was sitting at the desk looking at the military book in his hand.

After reading one, suddenly a strong wind blew outside, causing the already closed palace door to creak and creak, causing Liu Shuyan to frown slightly.

At this time, there was another sound of hurried footsteps outside, Liu Shuyan closed the book, and called out: "Shuangyu."

"Niang Niang." Shuangyu's voice and Liu Shuyan's voice sounded from outside the door.

"Come in," Liu Shuyan asked again after Shuangyu pushed the door open and closed it, and walked forward respectfully, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shuangyu leaned over to Liu Shuyan, and presented a slightly curled envelope in her hand to the desk in front of Liu Shuyan, and then replied: "Mother, this is a letter from Master Duan Feige."

Liu Shuyan took the letter and nodded: "Got it, you go to the East Palace first, and invite Xue Bandu to Penglai Palace."

But as soon as the words fell, she didn't wait for Shuangyu to answer, she seemed to have remembered something, and quickly stopped Shuangyu: "Wait." As she said, she opened the envelope and unfolded the thin inside. One layer of letter paper.

Shuangyu was about to salute and retreat, but when she heard Liu Shuyan's words, she also stopped her movements quickly, and stood in the distance with her head down, waiting for Liu Shuyan's instructions.

And Liu Shuyan took a closer look, and the look in his eyes immediately became more complicated.The letter reads:

[Jiang Wu was more angry than the mansion and then went to Jin Wang's mansion

In addition, when he was not in the mansion, he was lucky enough to catch the rain, and a flying pigeon wrote a letter about the evil words of the prince and the noble concubine, intending to make Jiang Jiezhi go out of the palace and return to the mansion]

Xue Ruoyu often went out, Xue Jiang was worried, so she specially domesticated a carrier pigeon and presented it to her. It was called by a special whistle and could be summoned at any time.

Liu Shuyan once met Xue Ruoyu outside the palace, so he knew it.She had planned to use this method to make Xue Jiang angry, but she didn't expect that before she started to act, Xue Jiang was already burning with anger.

Thinking about it, she put the letter paper in her hand on the candle beside it and burned it up. Then she found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the words "Don't stop me". She folded the paper and stuffed it inside the envelope just now. middle.

After doing this, she stood up, handed it to Shuangyu, and ordered: "You can send this to him, and you don't have to go to the East Palace anymore."

After Shuangyu left, Liu Shuyan let out a long breath, sat down in the same place again, stretched out his hands and rubbed his temples seemingly in distress.

She thought that this matter could be delayed for a few more days, but she didn't expect that she didn't know the reason, but she made it ahead of time by mistake.Fortunately, Wei Feng came in time today, so she wouldn't lose her position unprepared, on the contrary, it seemed to save a lot of trouble.

On the second day, as he and Shen Zhi said, Wei Feng went to the prime minister's mansion early in the morning to meet Liu Xiuyun.After coming out from there, he went back to the inn directly, and didn't come out again until he received Liu Xiuyun's secret letter at night.

As for the East Palace, compared with the past, there are many differences today.One is that Liu Shuyan asked Shuangyu to bring a message today, canceling the morning lecture; the other is that Xue Ruoyu, who has always been lively, even locked herself in the room for almost half a day, and it was Du Qinning's persuasive persuasion later posted on the door After that, she opened the door and asked Du Qinning to bring in the food, and took a few mouthfuls indiscriminately.

As for Shen Zhi, for some reason, after waking up early in the morning, he began to feel very uncomfortable.She read the book in the Lizheng Hall all morning, and after going to the Prince's School in the afternoon and returning to the palace, she locked herself back in the Lizheng Hall.

I don't know if it was the reason for the fire in the kitchen last night, or Shen Zhi was thinking too much in her heart. In short, in her opinion, the entire East Palace looks very depressed today.

After eating the astern food sent by the palace man, and sending something to fill the stomach of the man locked in the dark room, Shen Zhi lay down on the bed, and began to recall the things that happened in recent days one by one. up.

The imperial concubine said before that she has her own way to deal with Xue Jiang, what is the way?And could it have something to do with the vigilance that she and my uncle mentioned to me in the near future?Could it be that my uncle wants to stay in the capital to assist me is a later story, and it is the most important thing for him to rush over to deal with Xue Jiang?

But who was the girl in red who fainted in the cauliflower field a few days ago?What was it that stimulated her, that after several days, she still refused to say a word?Or is it because she has something to hide when she doesn't speak?Then, do she and what she encountered before have anything to do with Xue Jiang?

And that Jin Wang brother, my father regarded him as his own, and enjoyed the treatment of a prince since he was a child, why on earth did he treat my father and me like this?Obviously if she doesn't fight for it, the throne should be his from now on... Alas, it's a pity that he was too anxious.

Inexplicable questions and guesses circled in Shen Zhi's mind, but she had no way to deal with it, and felt very helpless in her heart.

In fact, she didn't like this feeling very much.Although she is very grateful to Liu Shuyan for trusting and helping her almost with all her strength and unreservedly, what she hopes more is that she can stand side by side with Liu Shuyan and fight side by side instead of being protected by her all the time, like a A cowardly person who has no responsibility and only shrinks back.So when Liu Shuyan didn't tell her certain things, although she knew and believed that Liu Shuyan's intention was definitely for her own good, she couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed and unhappy in her heart.

Furthermore, she felt that although she had acquainted with Liu Shuyan when she was a child, and she also had the same relationship with Shen Tianhe and Wei Qian'er, she had nothing to be kind to Liu Shuyan at present, and Liu Shuyan treated her like this She, she can't help but feel a little anxious about "receiving rewards for nothing".

Thinking about it, I don't know if the experience of the past few days made her a little tired, but she gradually fell asleep unconsciously.

In her dream, she went back to the day when Liu Shuyan entered the palace to look for Wei Qian'er in Qingning Palace when she was a child.

At that time, Wei Qian'er was holding her in the palace, teaching her some principles of life.But as soon as Liu Shuyan came, Wei Qian'er let her down, and gave her a paper kite she made by herself, and asked the nurse beside her to take her to the imperial garden to fly the kite.

She hopped and followed the nanny to the imperial garden. Originally, the master and the servant were having fun, but when she was running against the wind, the scene changed suddenly and she returned to Qingning Hall.

Wei Qian'er was still the same Wei Qian'er when she left, but Liu Shuyan had changed from the little girl just now to a slim girl who looked more like today.

Shen Zhi couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.She saw Liu Shuyan slam into Wei Qian'er's arms like a child, hugging her tightly with both hands, and kept murmuring: "Qian'er...Qian'er..."

The author has something to say: Your Highness is about to start dreaming...
