Pour the glass

"Captain Qi!"

Ziyuan rode her horse to the palace gate, jumped off quickly, and the guard on duty came up to lead the horse.

"Please untie the sword."

Ziyuan hastily untied the sword from her waist and handed it to the palace guard, "Thank you!"

"Lieutenant Qi, stay here. Before going to court, please move to Jinlan Palace." The palace guard suddenly stopped Ziyuan, who was about to run to the main hall, and bowed respectfully.

"Jinlan Palace?" Ziyuan was slightly startled, this Jinlan Palace is Concubine Shen's bedroom, how could she announce her audience at this time?

The palace guard said again: "The imperial concubine never likes to wait for others, Captain Qi, don't delay the time."

After all, Concubine Shen is No.1 in the Inner Palace, so she can't afford to offend her, and besides, she has no contact with Concubine Shen on weekdays, so if she invites you suddenly today, there will definitely be no good things.

Jinlan Palace is located in the eastern part of the imperial city, next to the Queen's Jiaofang Palace, but its regulations have greatly surpassed that of Jiaofang Palace, which shows the prosperity of Concubine Shen's favor.

With a favorite concubine inside and heavy soldiers outside, the Shen family is so powerful, how can Princess Chushan shake this line of powerful officials?

When Ziyuan came outside Jinlan Palace, she couldn't help worrying about Ye Lingxi.

"Qi Duwei, please."

The maid bowed to Ziyuan, indicating that Ziyuan could come in and have an audience.

Ziyuan nodded slightly, stepped into Jinlan Palace, the first thing she saw was not Concubine Shen, but Princess Jingrou playing in the palace courtyard.

"My minister pays homage to Her Highness the Princess." Zi Yuan saluted.

Princess Jingrou looked Ziyuan up and down, and said proudly: "Excuse me, Mr. Shouduwei."

"Thin?" Zi Yuan lowered her head and glanced at herself.

Princess Jingrou sneered and said: "This is the first time I have seen a captain of the imperial guard who is as thin as your lord. Your lord should eat more meat and grow more meat, otherwise..."

"Your Highness, you need to eat less meat and grow less meat, so that you can always have such a graceful figure as Your Highness!" Ziyuan finished with a smile, and glanced up and down at Princess Jingrou, her eyes were not startled. But deliberately with a touch of pity.

This remark can be praised or derogatory, thinking carefully is definitely not a good word, but Princess Jing Rou heard it extremely harshly, she saw her cross her waist and glared at Zi Yuan angrily, "You are so bold!"

"If you don't have much courage, how can you be qualified for the position of captain?" Zi Yuan smiled, but asked Jing Rou instead.

"You...you..." Princess Jingrou seemed to be extremely angry, stomped her feet, and shouted, "Come here, get my horsewhip, I want to deal with him myself!"

Zi Yuan hurriedly bowed to Jing Rou, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, please calm down, I will make up for Your Highness."

"late!"

The palace maid handed over the whip, and saw Jingrou flick the whip violently, and rushed towards Ziyuan——

"Huh?" Ziyuan hurriedly dodged to avoid it, "Her Royal Highness, calm down, calm down."

"You, don't get out of the way!" Princess Jingrou missed Zhong Ziyuan several times in a row, and was even more furious, stomping her feet three times, "Catch him for Ben Gong!"

"promise!"

Ziyuan watched the maidservants around her, knowing that a joke would cause a catastrophe, and just wanted to quickly end the sudden dispute, so she stretched out her hand and grabbed Yang who was flying in the air. The horsewhip was pulled violently and wouldn't let go.

"Hurry up and support Her Highness the Princess." Ziyuan said hastily.

"Let go of Bengong's whip, let go!" Princess Jingrou yelled loudly, pulling the whip vigorously, "Skinny boy, let go, if you don't let go, Bengong will behead you!"

Ziyuan let go of her hands quickly, clasped her fists and said solemnly: "Princess, calm down!"

Where did Princess Jingrou think that Ziyuan would really dare to let go, and she fell backwards with all her strength. A group of palace maids who surrounded Princess Jingrou quickly hugged Princess Jingrou's fallen body, seeing that the princess was unharmed, finally Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Jingrou struggled to stand up, her eyes widened angrily, her cheeks were flushed, she pointed at Ziyuan and shouted: "You...you dare to be so disrespectful to me, I want to tell concubine mother that she Your head was taken off!"

Ziyuan shook her head and smiled softly: "The imperial concubine has always been virtuous, how could she do such a thing of overstepping her authority and picking off the heads of court officials? Your Royal Highness, Lin'an City has been bewitched today, and everyone is in danger. Your Majesty relieved his worries," glanced at the palace courtyard, no trace of Concubine Shen, "Please tell Her Royal Highness to tell the concubine empress that I have already been here, and because of the urgent state affairs, I will leave first."

"You...stop!" Princess Jingrou was extremely wronged, tears flickered in her eyes, there was no one in or outside the palace who could bully her and then walk away!

Ziyuan turned a deaf ear, ignoring the obstruction of the left and right maidservants, and strode towards the direction of the court hall.

"Woooo..." Princess Jingrou couldn't help crying.

"Yinger."

The palace door suddenly opened, Shen Guifei, who had been watching for an unknown amount of time, called out softly, motioning for Princess Jingrou to come over.

Princess Jingrou was extremely wronged, when she heard her concubine call, she threw herself into Concubine Shen's arms, "Concubine mother, you have to be the master of my son!"

Concubine Shen lovingly rubbed Princess Jingrou's black hair, and said with a smile: "This time, Concubine Mother, I really want to make decisions for you."

"I want that skinny boy's head!" Princess Jingrou raised her tearful eyes and said firmly.

Concubine Shen shook her head lightly, looking at Ziyuan's back thoughtfully, "You see, sometimes people are not as good as Chu Shan. If this person has a heart, he is a hard-to-find good boy in the world."

Looking at the current Dayun court, which court official dares to contradict Princess Jingrou like this, and which court official dares to be so presumptuous in Jinlan Palace?

"Mother Concubine?" Princess Jingrou didn't understand what Concubine Shen meant.

"There is a saying that he is right, if you are not courageous, how can you become the captain of the Dayun Imperial Guard?" Concubine Shen's smile was full of complex brilliance, she supported Jing Rou's shoulders, and stared intently Looking at her, "Ying'er, concubine mother will not let you become the second me, concubine mother will definitely choose a good son-in-law for you, who can protect you forever."

"Mother and concubine, the third sister didn't summon a concubine, so why did you say that the minister was on me?" Princess Jingrou lowered her head in shock, and Shen Zhihuai's heroic figure appeared in her heart, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

Concubine Shen raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Princess Jingrou's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "In this world, there are too few days when one can do whatever one wants. There is something my mother and concubine failed to do, and I hope you can do it."

"Mother..."

"Go down to take a bath and rest. Lin'an is very chaotic these few days, so you should stay in the palace and don't wander around."

"it is good."

"Go back."

"No, concubine mother."

Concubine Shen watched Princess Jingrou retreat to the bedroom in the palace courtyard, and sighed faintly.

She raised her face and looked at the sky full of stars. In her mind, she still vaguely remembered that the night sky 16 years ago was as vast as it is now.

"Yingmeng, after I complete the general's account, I will propose marriage to the general!" The young deputy general in silver armor and red robe, the enthusiasm in his eyes was enough to make her melt.

"Take me away today, okay?" She asked the young lieutenant almost beggingly.

The young lieutenant general was stunned, "What happened?"

"I don't want to enter the palace, I don't want to be a noble concubine, I just want you to take me, no matter where I go, even if it's a simple meal, I will..."

"Enter... enter the palace?"

"Didn't you say that you can do anything for me? Then take me away, get out of here!"

"You...I...all over the world...could it be the king's land...we are...we can't escape..."

"you……"

She seemed to hear the voice full of cracks after her heart froze instantly, "Please... take me..."

"Miss, the general can't do it..." The young lieutenant suddenly knelt on the ground, his face covered with tears, "I can't beat the emperor, and I don't want to... I don't want to be a prisoner of the imperial court, and live my whole life in fear..."

"I... I misread you..."

"At least it's not too late, sister." The young Zhen Guo general Shen You led his troops to surround them, and saw him walking up with his sword in hand, looking at the young lieutenant coolly, "You are still a person who knows the times, I will spare your life, retreat quickly."

"Thank you...thank you, General, for not killing me!" The young lieutenant almost scrambled and ran away without a trace.

She sat down on the ground in despair, looking at the staggering back of the young lieutenant general, a wry smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I thought with all my heart...that the general who killed countless enemies...should have the courage to protect me for the rest of my life... In the end... I'm just a coward... I'm blind... I'm blind..."

The heart ached to the extreme, but the tears could only swirl in the eye sockets, but they couldn't fall.

"Sister." Shen You walked up to her, held her trembling with one hand, and motioned for the soldiers and horses he had brought to retreat, only to hear him say in a deep voice, "Brother knows that I have wronged you by asking you to marry the emperor, but all the people in the world have wronged you." Next, who else can be greater than the emperor? Moreover, for the sake of the young master's plan, your sacrifice is the only way to go..."

"Brother, kill him..." She suddenly said hoarsely, "This kind of coward...doesn't deserve to live..."

"Brother depends on you!"

After that night, the young lieutenant completely disappeared between heaven and earth.

Dahong was dressed in joy, and when she put on the phoenix crown, she knew that the boy in this world who would tenderly call her "Yingmeng" had died in the wilderness, and the other boy who would call her "Love Concubine" The man will hug a jade-cold imperial concubine and make an appointment together.

If Emperor Yunhui hadn't taken a fancy to her, how could she have seen the boy's true face clearly, and how could she have woken up from this dream so quickly?

This deep hatred has penetrated into the bottom of her heart, and it can't overwhelm the country, how can it be relieved?

If it wasn't for her brother's so-called big plan, how could she be sent to the palace to be with someone she doesn't love day and night?

This bone-piercing despair never ceased for a moment, and one day, she would want her brother to experience what she suffered today.

Shen Yingmeng lived in such a contradictory way until Jingrou's birth, Jingrou's growth, and Jingrou's childhood...

"Mother... Concubine Mother..."

I still remember that the first time she called her with a smile was enough to melt all the hatred and pain in Shen Yingmeng, so from that day on, Shen Yingmeng decided to let Jingrou get out of this cage and find her a real lover , a beloved man who was so bold that he dared to challenge the imperial power.

So this time, Concubine Shen Gui just took a gamble, is Qi Ziyuan brave enough?
