The imperial concubine bows down to me

"But having said that, if Zhi'er is free on weekdays, he should take a rest, so don't fall down like last time. Although state affairs and family affairs are important, your own body is more precious."

A few people were talking about something, Xia Zi also came here under the leadership of the servant.She saluted everyone present, and then was called by Chang Sun Ying to sit down beside Shen Zhi.Sun Ying, who had nothing to say at first, saw Xia Zi, and suddenly thought of something, and began to tell her, probably some words to teach her how to get along with Shen Zhi and how to serve Shen Zhi well.

Chang Sunying spoke too thoughtfully, and told Xia Zi many things, taking some examples of Shen Tai and Li Mulan, as if it was really a mother telling her daughter who was about to get married.Although Xia Zi didn't know what they were going to do in this battle, when she thought about the relationship between Shen Tai and Shen Zhirong, she didn't dare to ask more questions, and she didn't dare to show too much surprise, but what Chang Sunying said, she Just one or two sentences should be reconciled.

Shen Tai and Li Mulan listened silently with smiles on the side, but Shen Zhi felt more and more weird when he heard Chang Sunying's words, and his face blushed unconsciously.After all, she and Xia Zi only met each other on a few occasions, and even if it was not true, she still had a slight resistance to accepting her as a concubine.It's just that when the person in the picture was replaced by Liu Shuyan, she felt that although the scene was shy, it could still make people happy.

It was getting late, and the things that should be explained were almost explained, and Chang Sun Ying's speaking speed gradually slowed down.Finding the right time, Shen Zhi inserted a few words, and after echoing a few more words, he followed the topic and proposed to several people to say goodbye.

She wanted to leave, and it was inconvenient for the group to stay longer, so they followed Shen Zhi and got up to send her and Xia Zi out of the palace.As the master, coupled with Shen Zhiqian's resignation, although Shen Tai didn't like this position where he couldn't see what was going on behind him, he still walked in the forefront and led the way.As soon as they left, Shen Zhi stretched out his hand from his cuff, and took the initiative to shake Xia Zi's hand.

Xia Zi also never expected that Shen Zhi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, would suddenly treat her like this. She was surprised for a moment, but then she felt that Shen Zhi was still holding something in his hand, and she seemed to understand something.She calmly took the thin, soft and silky handkerchief that Shen Zhi handed her, and then pretended to look at each other lovingly with Shen Zhi for several times. After a while, the two Only then did he let go of his hand.

Although Shen Zhi still couldn't control his habit of blushing at any time, but fortunately, it didn't have much impact after all under the mask.But apart from other things, I didn't realize before that when it comes to acting, Shen Zhi's level can be considered top-notch, but slightly worse than Xia Zi's.Along the way, the two "flickered, moved slightly, and smiled" at each other. If you say that the two are young lovers who are in a fiery relationship, people who don't know really can't tell that this is fake.

When he came to the gate of the palace, Shen Zhi winked at Xia Zi again, and then looked at Li Mulan.Xia Zi was slightly taken aback, but when she thought of what Shen Zhi had just given her, she came to her senses again.

Looking around, Shen Tai was walking in front, and there was no one staring at her, so Xia Zi quickened his pace, flicked his hand forward, and said respectfully: "Princess, your things are missing. It's gone." As she said, she leaned down and carefully picked up the Xiu handkerchief that had just fallen down, and suddenly saw the small characters on it that were not very obvious under the light, and quickly held it back, and handed it directly to Li Mulan. hand.

Li Mulan turned around and received the Xiupa handed over by Xia Zi. She raised her eyebrows and saw Xia Zifu stepping back. She didn't say anything, but tightened the strength in her hands, and said with a light smile, "Thank you." It's Miss Xia." When she said this, Shen Tai didn't doubt it, and after nodding to Shen Zhi, he led the group of people to continue walking forward.

It wasn't until getting into the sedan chair that Shen Zhi looked at Xia Zi with a colder look.She sat diagonally across from Xia Zi, and her tone was a little more distant than before: "Today, thank you Miss Xia."

Xia Zi also clearly felt the changes in Shen Zhi. She lowered her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and responded with a light smile: "It is the blessing of grassroots people to be able to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. Disgusting people."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he changed the topic directly and explained to her what happened just before she came: "Gu has told Brother Jin that Gu Xinyue Miss Xia, and there is a concubine to help her." , Only then can we bring you back from Prince Jin’s mansion. Therefore, if there are other people present, you and I must not be alienated before Gu and Brother Jin are torn apart, so we have to wrong Miss Xia first.”

"Of course, it's not necessary in front of the imperial concubine and Qin Ning." As soon as the words finished, Shen Zhi thought about it, and then immediately added.

A slight disappointment flashed in his eyes, Xia Zi hurriedly closed his eyes, clasped his hands together a little helplessly, and nodded tactfully: "The grass people know, it's all up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing her obsequious and somewhat fearful appearance, Shen Zhi felt a little distressed, but he didn't want to get too close to her, so he gave up the idea of ​​sitting closer to her, and just spoke to comfort her.

"Gu is not a bad person, and he doesn't have such a big air. Even if no outsiders are present, Miss Xia can be more casual in front of Gu. It's just... from now on, this grassroots can no longer be called. If there are people around, Miss Xia can just call herself a concubine. "But as soon as these words came out, Shen Zhi always felt that something was weird, but she couldn't say what was weird.After a pause, before Xia Zi could answer, she said again, "I have already sent someone to Xiliang to pick up your family members in the name of Brother Jin. The King of Xiliang will release them, and Miss Xia will also Don't worry. When they arrive in the capital, Gu will settle them down and send someone to protect their safety for the time being."

Xia Zi looked at Shen Zhi, and there was a little more emotion in her eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness."

It is said that the emperor's family is ruthless, no matter what they do, they always put their own best interests first, but it seems that this prince, she is not.

The days in early April are already a bit stuffy, and even at night, it still makes people feel a little bored to move.

It was night, and all the people in the palace had rested, everything was quiet and needles could be heard, only a woman in night clothes stepped lightly on the eaves and jumped out of the palace wall, leaving behind a little crackling sound. .

Li Mulan is a sensible person, since she accepted Fang Xiupa, she should come to the appointment tonight.It was quiet in the palace, but the bustling city outside the palace was still bustling. Liu Shuyan went to the restaurant where Yu Li Mulan was invited, ordered some food and wine, took off his mask, sat down and waited for her.Sure enough, as expected, Li Mulan arrived as scheduled before a stick of incense passed.

Seeing Li Mulan sitting down across from him, Liu Shuyan poured a glass of wine and drank it on his own.After taking a few sips, she then said: "It's getting late, Princess Jin didn't rest at the mansion, but came to this wine shop alone. If King Jin finds out and misunderstood, it would be bad."

"Prince Jin drank alcohol tonight and was already unconscious. Besides, even if he wakes up for the time being, he will not have the strength to look for me again. Concubine Liu Gui, on the other hand, did not rest in the palace in the middle of the night, but ran here Come to the night party with me, if His Royal Highness finds out, what should I do if I blame you?" Li Mulan was not angry at Liu Shuyan's words, she smiled, poured herself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with Liu Shuyan, and raised her eyebrows asked.

Nowadays, no one in the palace knows the rumors about Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan, and Liu Shuyan doesn't care about Li Mulan's slightly contemptuous words: "I'm not here to talk to you about my family's gossip tonight with the concubine."

Hearing this, Li Mulan drank the wine in the glass and was slapped on the table with a crisp sound.

"Okay, I also want to know, what is the concubine wanting to say when she invited me here tonight?"

"Presumably the concubine should also know that the Taiwei changed direction on the way to escort the grain and grass, and took refuge in Xiliang." Liu Shuyan didn't mince words with her, and said straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Li Mulan's eyes flashed, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she sneered: "Concubine Liu Gui, don't slander others at will, my father is dedicated to serving the country and the people, how could he do such a thing? Or, Xiliang is my vassal state, so it has always been better, maybe my father just encountered something and needed to go to ask for help, and someone with a heart would charge him with collaborating with the enemy and treason."

Liu Shuyan didn't explain much to her, but asked indifferently: "One heart for the country? Which country is it? What the princess said... I'm afraid it wasn't the previous dynasty?" The speaker seemed to have no intention, but Li Mulan who was listening stared The big eyes are incredible.

But then she realized her gaffe, and after adjusting her emotions, she picked up the wine glass with three fingers, and a slightly playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "The noble concubine is careful, if someone with evil intentions listens to it, if you are slandered like this I can't help you with the crime."

"It's clear that there are only two of us here, so how can there be someone who has an evil heart? Or...the princess brought other people here?" Liu Shuyan didn't panic at all, and replied, "Besides, what I said is true. Fake, shouldn't the princess be very clear in her heart? If I didn't have the evidence, would I be so sure?"

As he said that, seeing Li Mulan's expression change slightly, Liu Shuyan "take advantage of the victory" and said: "I came here today sincerely, not to fight to the death with the princess, but to win and win with you. You must know that Li Mulan Mi has already taken refuge in Xiliang, if His Highness the Crown Prince insists on pursuing it, as her daughter, even if you have Shen Tai covering you, you may not get much benefit; but your nominal grandmother is a former court If it weren't for the kindness of the emperor, for the sake of being childhood sweethearts with Mrs. Li Mi, I would have kept it a secret from you, and even entrusted Li Mi with important use. Do you think that you people in the Li family...can live to this day? Now Li Mi is not in the capital, if His Highness takes this opportunity to expose the past and make use of it, I think, even if you are punished by the Li family... there should not be any minister who will object to it."

"You!..." Hearing Liu Shuyan speak so bluntly, Li Mulan couldn't help but panic.She held the wine glass tightly in her hand, almost gritted her teeth and said, "What exactly do you want when you call me here tonight?" Now, she has no need to pretend anymore.
