The imperial concubine bows down to me

"I haven't thought about going out of the palace yet." Liu Shuyan shook his head firmly without thinking about it, "Actually, apart from what His Highness knows, the concubine entered the palace back then with a selfish intention that no one else knew about. Although in the past, wanting to fulfill that wish was not the main reason for the concubine to enter the palace, but now that she has been staying for six years, the concubine also plans to make plans for leaving the palace after completing this matter. Not too late."

Wish fulfilled?Could it be...it has something to do with me?

Shen Zhi didn't know if she was thinking too much, her heart was pounding, and seeing that Liu Shuyan didn't intend to explain herself, she asked with some hesitation: "Can the noble concubine tell Gu... what is your wish?"

Originally, Shen Zhi didn't like to take the initiative to ask others about so many personal matters, but she kept it in her heart, and couldn't help but break the rules she set for herself.But she was afraid that her question would offend Liu Shuyan, and when she finished speaking, she quickly added: "Gu means... If there is anything in the concubine's wish that Gu can help, the concubine can tell you Yu Gu, as long as Gu can do it, he will do his best to help the imperial concubine."

Hearing this, Liu Shuyan asked with a joking smile instead of answering: "Your Highness wants to help my concubine realize her wish so much, do you think that my concubine staying in the palace is getting in the way of your highness, and you want to get rid of my concubine as soon as possible?" Is it possible to leave the palace?" While speaking, she bent her eyebrows and eyes, and it was Shen Zhi's rare "smile like a flower" that she saw in the palace.

"Grand Concubine, you know that Gu Ming doesn't mean that..." I don't know why, in recent days, Liu Shuyan seems to really like to tease her more and more.

"Okay, this concubine knows that His Highness doesn't mean that..." Liu Shuyan suppressed her smile and was about to get the topic back on track, but as soon as she said this, the two of them felt the sedan chair under their feet stop, and she also Therefore, he swallowed back all the words he was about to say.

After shaking twice, the sedan chair stopped firmly on the ground.Immediately, a man's voice came from outside, slightly vicissitudes, but very respectful: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty, we have arrived."

I didn't expect the sedan chair to be so fast. It seems that these things can't be discussed with the imperial concubine now, so let's ask the imperial concubine later when there is a suitable opportunity.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan looked at each other, then opened the curtain first and got out.Before Liu Shuyan came out behind her, she just took this opportunity to say to the man who spoke just now: "After you return to the East Palace today, you can go to the kitchen to help. The work over there should be easier. I will be busy. How about this, if you want to work a little harder every month, I will give you an extra one or two in salary, so you can buy some good things to give back to your wife and children.”

That person seemed to be almost at the age of knowing his destiny, and he was still working in the East Palace at this age, obviously the family should also have some difficulties.Although Shen Zhi didn't often go out in a sedan chair, it was hard for him to come out occasionally to do such strenuous work.Anyway, an extra tael of silver per month is nothing to Shen Zhi, she thought that since she can help, she can also relieve them of some burden.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Long En, your great kindness and virtue, I will never forget it..." Hearing Shen Zhi's words, the man was so grateful that tears were about to pop out, and he was about to kneel while speaking. Come down and give thanks.

Seeing this, Shen Zhi quickly grabbed his arm, and after stabilizing his body, he waved at him again: "Now you are outside the palace, remember to keep a low profile and don't make too much publicity. Go back first, I will Mr. and I need to deal with some things here, and we will go back by ourselves after we finish."

"Yes." After the man agreed with the other three, the four of them briefly rested for a while, and then went back carrying the sedan chair.

Liu Shuyan and Shen Zhi stood together, watching the backs of the four of them leaving, and when they were far away, she suddenly asked, "My lord, do you know why the person who talked to you just now came out to earn money at such an age?" ?”

Originally, Shen Zhicai did it casually and didn't take it too seriously, but now that Liu Shuyan asked her that, she became curious about the identity of that person.

"I don't know. Do you know him, sir?" Shen Zhi answered truthfully, and asked again.

"Since something bad happened before and I changed the employer, I naturally have to learn from that incident, so that everyone in the house will understand clearly." Today's lantern festival, surrounded by crowds, Liu Shuyan couldn't say it directly , can only use the palace as a residence instead, and try to be as cryptic as possible.

Shen Zhi could also understand what Liu Shuyan was saying, she nodded, looked at Liu Shuyan, and waited for her explanation.

"Young master was kind enough to raise his salary and ask him to go back and buy some good things for his wife and children. But you don't know, he has no heirs and no wife." Liu Shuyan said unhurriedly, with a slight expression on his face. The smiling expression didn't change at all, and she didn't know what she meant by these words.

But for Shen Zhi, she felt that the man was very pitiful. After hearing Liu Shuyan's words, she felt that what she did today was correct.But before she had time to sigh, Liu Shuyan's next turning point made her swallow back all the words she was about to say.

"However, when he was young, Ben and his wife had a daughter. The family's assets were fair, and their lives were considered happy. Later, because he got into the bad habit of gambling, he lost all the money in the family, and owed a lot of money to others. The debt collector came to the door with a knife. He had no choice but to sell off the house deed and all valuables. He even sold his beautiful daughter who was born after he did not know how many blessings he had cultivated. Brothel. His wife couldn't stand his disappointment and cruelty, and quietly left while he was not paying attention. His daughter also shed tears all day in the brothel when she heard the news, and soon died of depression, which attracted many men in the capital to sigh .”

So he is still alone at such an old age, with no one to rely on, and can only earn money to make ends meet and pay off his debts... This is really true, poor people may have something to hate.

After hearing this, Shen Zhi didn't know what to say for a moment.After a pause, she seemed a little melancholy and said: "I think he is pitiful, but I didn't expect him to be such a person back then."

"However, after all, it has been so long. No matter how much we feel now, his wife and daughter will never come back. Now that he has reformed himself, if he can work in the East Palace for a few more years and save some money, maybe It's a blessing to be able to get a happy ending." As he spoke, Liu Shuyan looked at Shen Zhi, suppressed the smile in his eyes a little, and then continued, "Actually, I said so much, I just want to talk about it again. Use a real example once to tell the son that not all people in the world are as beautiful as you think. Not everyone deserves to be treated with a sincere heart by the son. Kindness should be given to those who have the same thoughts as the son. So that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, so that the world will be peaceful for a long time."

Shen Zhi nodded, but she didn't fully agree with Liu Shuyan's words.She said: "But father...Father and mother always taught me that I should always have a heart of benevolence. And the gentleman said just now that the man has changed his ways now, which shows that wicked people are not born like this. As long as you give more guidance, It is not difficult to make it right."

"If the son always repays evil with virtue, how can he repay virtue? If the rewards of doing good and evil are the same, how many people are willing to persist in doing good? Repaying blame with honesty and rewarding virtue with virtue is what the master wants to tell us reason."

After saying this, seeing Shen Zhi's face showing embarrassment, she was afraid that she would be entangled in this issue for a long time, Liu Shuyan had already said everything she wanted to say, and Shen Zhi had to comprehend the rest, so she tried to change the subject again: " It's rare to go out today, so we naturally want to relax, let's not talk about it. If there is anything you don't understand, how about we discuss it in the school another day?

Shen Zhi definitely had no objection to this, and after nodding in response, she quickly turned her attention to today's lantern festival.

It was still early at this time, and the sky hadn't completely darkened yet, but the streets were already crowded with people.The place where Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan were standing happened to be at the entrance of a very high-end restaurant next to the entrance of the Lantern Festival. It was relatively spacious, and the two of them were not too crowded.

But since he was going to watch the Lantern Festival, Shen Zhizi followed Liu Shuyan and squeezed into the crowd.Although Liu Shuyan subconsciously half-guarded in front of Shen Zhi to "open the way" for her, but after all, they are in a busy city now, surrounded by people coming and going, it is inevitable for Shen Zhi to be brushed and squeezed by from time to time.Shen Zhi, who had rarely seen this scene, suddenly seemed to be much more cheerful, and began to look around with a look of novelty on her face, and she would stop and talk to the vendors when she came across things she had never seen in the palace. The stallholders chatted a few words.

After leaving the rather oppressive palace, Shen Zhi looked more like what a person of this age should look like.Liu Shuyan walked and stopped with her all the way, she didn't say much, but every time Shen Zhi came across something good she thought, he would pick it up and turn around to ask Liu Shuyan if he wanted it, so she could buy it and give it to her.

Liu Shuyan should be happy for Shen Zhi to have such an idea, but when she saw what Shen Zhi chose, she couldn't laugh or cry for a while.Rattle drums, cloth tigers, and mud squawks are all things that children like, but in the end Liu Shuyan bought them all and gave them to Shen Zhi.

The two walked together for about half of the distance. After Shen Zhi had a little fun, he realized that he was too busy looking at new things and neglected Liu Shuyan.Looking at the gadgets in Liu Shuyan's hand, she scratched her head, insisted on taking them from Liu Shuyan's hand, and then she was very embarrassed and said: "I wanted to buy something for my husband as a souvenir, but I didn't." Thinking of coming all the way, it will cost you money."

Saying that, Shen Zhi secretly decided, no matter what, she must choose something to give to Liu Shuyan today.It doesn't matter if you have more money or less money, anyway, Liu Shuyan is never short of money, the important thing is that she must choose something meaningful.

Just as Shen Zhi was thinking, before Liu Shuyan responded to her words, the owner of the silver building at the side moved towards the two proactively and enthusiastically.
