The imperial concubine bows down to me

At this moment, Shen Handong was looking at Shen Zhi with a smile all over his face. After realizing it, Shen Zhi also smiled with her, and responded: "Auntie was joking, no matter what it is, the noble concubine is still my father. The emperor's concubine. Besides, the noble concubine is also the prince and grand teacher, so she has a lot to say about Gudu in many things. The two of us often get close because of business needs, and it is reasonable. Or, it's too late for the imperial concubine to be so grateful to Gu for such a great kindness, so how can she have unreasonable thoughts about her?"

Hearing this, although the smile on Shen Handong's face did not diminish by half, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Zhi, her eyes were full of doubts about Shen Zhi's words.However, she did not directly refute Shen Zhi's words, but said from the side: "What about the emperor's concubine? As long as Zhi'er likes it, go to the emperor to sincerely beg, and if a decree to abolish the concubine goes on, she will not be a noble concubine." Not to mention the prince, grand master and prince, these are all for others to listen to, whether it is public or private, I think Zhi'er should know better than anyone else. As for what Zhi'er said just now, how people in the world will view the royal family , in fact, people in the world really don’t think much of the royal family. People don’t care whether you are the prince who robbed the emperor’s concubine, or the emperor robbed the prince’s lover. These fall into their ears, and at most they are just chatting after dinner. What they really care about is whether they have enough to eat today, and whether they can wear warm clothes tomorrow. As long as the royal family can keep the country safe, the borders are peaceful, the folk customs are good, and the people live and work in peace, this will be a prosperous and prosperous age that will be sung through the ages. What my aunt said has been true in all dynasties, and Zhi'er should understand after reading so many history books."

"What else are the secular ethics? Those are written by the predecessors for future generations to read. Although the rules are dead, people are alive, so why should living people be bound by things on a piece of paper? Do you think so, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Yes, but my aunt is not familiar with the imperial concubine, and she has seldom cared about her personal affairs these years. Why did she suddenly talk to me so much about it today?Judging from my aunt's tone, it seems that I really hope that the matter between me and the imperial concubine is as rumored, and that there is indeed such a thing...

What Shen Handong said is indeed such a truth, Shen Zhi thought, and felt that if this continues, she will definitely be shaken by her words.If Shen Handong happens to be able to tell her what's on his mind in a while, she might really be impulsive and really can't help but tell those things before.

Thinking of this, and harboring some doubts about the purpose of Shen Handong's move, Shen Zhi made some calculations in his heart, and finally decided to change the topic of her and Liu Shuyan, and asked Shen Handong instead: "Auntie reminded me , I will think about these things carefully when I go back later, and Aunt Lao will worry about it."

After all, Shen Zhi pretended to be unintentional and suddenly remembered Shen Handong's words just now, and asked again and again: "Oh, right, didn't aunt just say that I have something to tell Gu? It shouldn't be... just want to ask Gu and the noble concubine something in between?"

"Although it's not, it has something to do with what I said just now." Shen Handong pursed his lips, his two eyeballs slanted towards Shen Zhi, then nodded, and then said again, "Zhier, if one day, Aunt has left, will you help Aunt take care of Zhe'er?"

Shen Zhi originally thought that Shen Handong would go around a few times before he would reveal the real purpose of today, but he didn't expect her to be so direct, and what she said surprised Shen Zhi.

"Leave? Auntie... But where are you going?" Hearing Shen Handong's question, Shen Zhi was also stunned for a while, and then he came back to his senses and asked back.

Hearing this, Shen Handong turned her head completely sideways to look at Shen Zhi, and seeing Shen Zhi's eyes full of doubts, she couldn't help but chuckled: "Zhi'er's temperament is really as pure and kind as the emperor's wife, and what's more... These eyes are exactly the same as the emperor's sister-in-law back then. Now besides the emperor's brother and Zhe'er, Zhi'er is my aunt's closest relative. My aunt knows that Zhi'er will never betray her, so my aunt does not hide it. you."

Speaking of this, Shen Handong, who was so direct, couldn't help but pause.

In fact, she said this, and thinking about what she said just now that she was going to leave, Shen Zhi also gradually realized that what she said probably meant that she wanted to keep Shen Zhenzhe in the palace, while she should be taking Concubine Shu out of the palace I have been to those days that may be plain but free and unrestrained.

"Actually, my aunt has always liked Concubine Shu Yan. She has liked it since the year she entered the palace. She has liked it for many years, but she has always refused to admit that she also likes me." Speaking of this Shen Handong caught a glimpse of Shen Zhi's expression did not change much, but became a little more serious and did not speak, so she continued, "My aunt should not have married Xue Jiang three years ago. It's just that At that time, I had a conflict with her, and the emperor tried to persuade her again and again, so I thought about agreeing first, taking the opportunity to scare her, let her face her heart, and then find a way to call off this marriage, or marry her. Xue Jiang reconciled. But I never expected that Xue Jiang and I would both..."

Shen Handong was talking about the critical moment, but at this time she saw Shen Zhi's face starting to flush slightly, and realized that she was only a 15-year-old child.Although there had been rumors in the palace that she was blessed with a Xiliang woman gifted to her by Shen Tai, but others didn't know. As the aunt who watched Shen Zhi grow up, she had a relatively clear understanding of Shen Zhi's temperament.Judging from her reaction when getting along with Liu Shuyan in the past few days, Shen Handong would not believe it anyway if she said that she could meet someone she had never met before who was so reserved and shy in front of Liu Shuyan.

Anyway, Shen Zhi should understand what she wanted to say. After covering the matter with a light cough, Shen Handong continued: "I explained it clearly to her a few days ago, and now... she also accepts me, and promises that after I I won’t run away anymore. I was sorry for her in everything before, because my impulsiveness caused both of us to endure the pain for these years. So I thought, after the affairs in the palace are settled, I will take her with her. Going out of the palace, away from the deep palace, a place of right and wrong, to live the life she wants to live, and not to let her have any regrets in the rest of her life, is my compensation to her."

"But in this palace, the only thing I am worried about is Zhe'er. He is a good boy. I am sorry for letting him be born in a family that should not have existed. He has experienced the pain of losing his father since he was a child." I am no longer a qualified mother, but I still want to be a qualified partner, so what I said just now... are not all jokes. "

After saying goodbye to Shen Handong's imperial garden, Shen Zhi kept thinking about what Shen Handong said to her on the whole way back to the East Palace.

are you willing?If it was just a joke like just now, Shen Zhi would definitely not want it; but if Shen Handong had already made up his mind to entrust her with sincerity, Shen Zhi would still be willing.

Shen Zhizi was also happy that he could help his aunt and save her from spending the rest of her life in regret.As for Shen Zhenzhe, in fact, Shen knew that she was still a child, and she didn't have the confidence to raise him well, but when she thought that there were Liu Shuyan and so many other talented people in this palace, what could give him growth and development here? Life and study conditions are better than leaving the palace with Shen Handong.If Shen Handong felt relieved to hand over Shen Zhenzhe to her, and felt that it was much better in this palace than outside, what reason would she have to refuse?

Now that she has agreed, she will definitely do her best to help Shen Handong and take good care of Shen Zhenzhe for her.It's just that Shen Handong has to take Shen Tianhe behind Shen Tianhe's back and everyone in the Chaozhong Palace to take Concubine Shu out of the palace, she has to think long-term and let her think carefully before making a decision.

This time Shen Zhi seemed to be much calmer than before when he heard about women liking women, even Shen Handong couldn't help but feel a little strange about her reaction.Maybe it's because she already knew about the relationship between the two of them, so she wasn't surprised, and it seemed that she was really used to such things, and gradually regarded them as normal things.

Before stepping into the gate of the East Palace, Shen Zhifu saw two palace people who happened to be coming out, and then remembered that he planned to go to Qingning Hall when he went out today.Although I met Shen Handong on the road and was delayed a lot of time because of her affairs, but it was still early in the day, and it was still a while before the time for lunch, thinking that there was still nothing to deal with when I went back anyway, Shen Zhi still had nothing to do. Decided to go to Qingning Hall again.

This time Shen Zhi stayed in the Qingning Palace for a long time, and talked to Wei Qian'er a lot of things that she had been holding back in her heart. When she returned to the East Palace from the Tai Chi Palace again, it was already more than three quarters of Shen Shi.However, after speaking out the words that have been accumulated in his heart for a long time, Shen Zhi's mood is obviously much better than when he just came back, and the time spent is still worthwhile.

But this good mood has not been maintained for a long time. As soon as Shen Zhi stepped into the Lizheng Hall, Cao Min's panicked voice came from behind her: "Your Highness, you are back. The slaves are looking for you everywhere. You But it will make it easier to find slaves for a while!"

Shen Zhi heard the sound and turned around, only to see Cao Min frowned and walked towards her quickly with his body bent slightly, his face full of anxiety.
