Chapter 16: Breaking the Game
Zhao, who got the notification, also hurried over from the backyard, stretched out his hand and took Shen Ruojiao into his arms, and after stroking it for a while, he held Shen Ruojiao's face and said abruptly: "Chun'er has lost weight." ”
"Auntie. Shen Ruojiao sprinkled delicately, "It's better to look thinner." ”
Zhao Shi said angrily: "Nonsense, no matter how thin you are, you will become a bamboo pole." ”
Zhao put a delicate hand stove into Shen Ruojiao's hand and pulled her towards the house.
"Your father is still in the palace, and if he knows that you are back, he will be very happy. ”
"Yesterday, my father was still thinking about Chun'er. Shen Ruhao also smiled.
Shen Ruojiao couldn't help but think of Bai Zhen who was discussing in Chongming Palace, was his father also in Chongming Palace?
She thought again, what would Bai Zhen say? After the palace maid case, he also felt humiliated to some extent.
She didn't regret exposing Liu Guifei's viciousness, but now she was a little afraid, if this case made Bai Zhen even more jealous of the minister, so as to speed up his actions, wouldn't it be in danger for the Shen family.
In the end, it's still too hasty.
"Chun'er?" Zhao called out worriedly.
Shen Ruojiao came back to her senses and coughed lightly with an unnatural expression.
"Isn't Chun'er suffering from a cold?" Zhao saw that her expression was wrong, and panicked to call a doctor.
Shen Ruojiao hurriedly stopped: "My daughter is fine, it's just that the carriage and horses are bumpy, and she is a little tired." ”
Zhao said distressedly: "Then go back to the room to rest for a while, and when your father comes back, I will send someone to call you." ”
He instructed the moon again: "Take care of the lady carefully." ”
Ji Yue answered yes, and helped Shen Ruojiao to the backyard.
Her boudoir has not changed in the slightest, and the furniture is of the highest quality, and it is spotless that it is constantly cleaned.
Shen Ruojiao was lying on the bed of the carved gold carved nanmu shelf, looking at the curtain in a daze, and the small and blurred figures kept flashing in front of her eyes, one moment it was the palace maid of the Shangyuan Festival, one moment it was the jealous Queen Chen, and the other time it was the ambitious Liu Guifei.
She easily pulled out the ghostly Concubine Liu from the harem concubines, but this is not enough, she wants to expose the hypocrisy of Concubine Liu, she can see that Bai Zhen is also ready to move, but the Queen Mother and the hundred officials who seek stability are probably not happy.
How can she break the game?
Originally, the contradictions she wanted to solve only existed within the palace walls, but the situation in front of her showed that the contradictions within the palace walls coincided with the contradictions in the court.
At such an instant, she suddenly felt that Bai Zhen must be very tired.
That's why he's so moody, and if his mind is easily speculated by people with intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.
As soon as she entered the game, she wanted to break the game, and she only took twenty years, compared with Bai Zhen's seven years of dormancy, it was only a moment.
Can't Bai Zhen see Concubine Liu's ambition to take the back seat?
It was her negligence, and she thought that she would be in the harem after the harem, and from the beginning, the way she entered the game was wrong.
Now that I'm in the game, it's too late to regret it.
Concubine Liu now regards her as a thorn in her side, but she just doesn't dare to move.
Therefore, the first emperor was really wise, and Shen Xiang, who was supported by himself, is now the best weapon that Bai Zhen used to fight against Liu Jian.
Thinking about it like this, Shen Ruojiao already had a plan.
Bai Zhen is not a thing in the pool, although Bai Zhen is still bound by all forces, but three years later, Bai Zhen will be killed by thunder, and all the henchmen of the princes and factions will be purged, and the world will still be in Bai Zhen's hands after all.
Although Shen Xiang has been a princely faction from the very beginning and stands on Bai Zhen's side, this is far from enough......
After Shen Ruojiao suddenly opened up, the tense nerves relaxed, and the room was lit with a soothing agarwood incense, the fragrance was soaring, and it was full of mist and dizziness, and after a while, Shen Ruojiao really fell asleep.
When the moon came to call her, the sky was already dark, and the foggy sky was dyed with a layer of dark color.
"Lady, Zhao Xiaolang is here, Xiangye called you to the front yard. ”
Shen Ruojiao sat on the bed in a daze, her sleepy eyes also had a different style, and it took a while before she regained her clarity.
When she didn't enter the palace, Zhao Chong often passed the house, just then she actually gave birth to a dreamy sense of a different world, as if everything was back before leaving the cabinet, she was the only daughter of the prime minister's mansion, Shen Ruojiao, the stars grew up with the moon, and her life was smooth, and she didn't have to face the sudden murder.
Shen Ruojiao sighed faintly and said, "Why have I slept for so long, and you don't call me a word." ”
Ji Yue's eyes widened, and she said innocently: "It's Madame, let's not disturb the lady's rest." ”
Shen Ruojiao was dumbfounded, this result is reasonable, A-Niang has always loved her daughter.
After changing into light regular clothes, Shen Ruojiao asked again, "When did Cousin Zifu come?"
Ji Yue replied: "I came back with Xiangye." ”
Shen Ruojiao knew that Zhao Zhong was also among them when the Chongming Palace was deliberating.
Zhao Chong is the prince's companion from the background, and he has a deep friendship with Bai Zhen since he was a child, and now he worships the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and is in charge of the palace guards and attendants.
Through the weeping flower gate, I saw that the front yard was brightly lit, Shen Xiangzheng was drinking and laughing with the two juniors, and the voice full of energy came from afar.
After the delicate figure appeared from the porch, several men stopped laughing, put down their cups one after another, and their eyes softened.
Even if it is a plain and regular clothes, worn on her, it is like a fairy dress, Zhao Chong was stunned, he almost forgot the etiquette, he got up in a hurry and made a gesture: "Guifei Niangniang." ”
Shen Ruojiao smiled and said, "Cousin Zifu doesn't have to be formal, you and my brother and sister can get along as usual." ”
This voice was soft but cool, and Zhao Chong only felt relaxed.
He hurriedly picked up the wine cup and drank it urgently to hide his gaffe, and Shen Ke, who could only hear the head, asked, "How does the emperor treat you?"
He put down the cup again and waited for Shen Ruojiao's reply.
Compared with Zhao Chong's excitement, Shen Ke was more profound.
When his daughter returned to the province, Shen Ke's joy was no less than anyone else's, but in addition to the joy, he was more worried about the reason why Shen Ruojiao returned home.
Outside the Chongming Hall today, Shen Ke was stopped by Liu Jian, and Liu Jian said angrily: "Shen Xiang really taught a good daughter." ”
Shen Ke didn't know anything about the harem, and asked blankly, "Why did Brother Bo Yan say this?"
Liu Jian looked at Shen Ke suspiciously, and was sure that the old fox was acting again, and said mockingly: "What a pretentious in the same vein." ”
After speaking, he threw away his sleeves and left, leaving Shen Ke in confusion.
Shen Ke didn't know what his daughter had done, which made Liu Jian so angry, as soon as he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and learned that his daughter had returned to the mansion, as soon as these two things were contacted, Shen Ke noticed that something was wrong, but he was afraid that his daughter would cause something wrong in the palace.
Being asked by Shen Ke like this, Shen Ruojiao was stunned, and replied thoughtfully: "The emperor is kind-hearted, so he naturally treats me very well." ”
Although Shen Ke had doubts, but his daughter said so, it was inconvenient for him to ask any more, in short, it was good that Chun'er was not harmed, as for that Liu Jian, it was better to think that he was inexplicably talking crazy. He had no intention of making enemies in the court, but Liu Jian blew his beard and glared at him every day, as if he owed money and didn't pay it back.
After chatting with Shen Ruojiao about some trivial matters, Shen Ke continued to talk with Zhao Chong and Shen Ruhao.
The Shen Mansion is different from other families in the Qi Dynasty, Shen Xiang was born in a poor family, and he had to be appreciated by the first emperor to rise all the way, so there were not so many rules.
Moreover, the Zhao family is thick and pure, and Shen Ruoyao is smart since Xiaoice Xue, so when Shen Ke talks about political affairs, he never shy away from the mother and daughter, and even sometimes asks Shen Ruoyao's opinion.
"Liu Jian really suffered a dumb loss this time, then Chen Duhu just gave a New Year's gift, who knew that the East Window incident implicated him and cut his military power in vain. Shen Ke said it was a pity, but his expression was gloating.
Shen Ruhao said with a smile: "The king's heart is unpredictable, Zifu grew up with the emperor, and he will be fined for half a year because he said something wrong." ”
"You're making fun of me again. Zhao Zhong was helpless.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Shen Ruojiao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly chuckled.
Dead trees are entrenched, not easy to shake, but unfortunately no matter how tough they are, they are only wood, and they can't compete with long-tempered blades.
In this game, she hasn't lost yet.
