In this palace, there are still many people and things that Shen Yan needs to understand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info She knows very well that knowing herself and knowing her opponent is invincible. The more she knows anyone around her who might be an enemy, the less likely she is to be in a passive position.

The eunuch in charge of the West Palace was about forty years old, with this double-layered chin and slightly fat. His name is Su You, and he claims that when Empress Duanjing, the biological mother of the second prince of the previous dynasty, was alive, he was the steward eunuch in her palace. He told Shen Yan that all the minions and palace maids in the West Palace, including him, were personally selected by Li Chengqi, and they were all loyal and diligent, so that Shen Yan could rest assured that he would call messengers.

"Father-in-law Su," Shen Yan said to him, and then asked: "Why did the emperor's attendants in the Hou Mansion enter the palace earlier, but the people who served the palace earlier did not see a single one in the palace?" Where have they gone? ”

"Back to my mother, this old slave doesn't know." Su You replied without hesitation, and even mentioned Shen Yan and said: "Niangniang can ask the emperor, the personnel of the West Palace are all told by the emperor himself." ”

In this way, such an arrangement was deliberately made by Li Chengqi.

surrounded by Li Chengqi's eyes, and without a cronie of his own, Shen Yan was a little uncomfortable. She thought that it would take a little effort to choose a few people from among these people who were completely loyal to her. However, she didn't show anything in front of Su You, and only asked him: "When did the emperor arrange for you to be on an errand in the West Palace?" ”

"Last month ago, the emperor learned of Niangniang's news and sent Prince Ying to greet him, so he asked the servants to wait for him to come to the West Palace." Su You smiled respectfully, and continued: "The emperor values Niangniang, so he ordered the servants to clean the West Palace at least twice a day, and also asked the servants to plant a lot of flowers and plants in the garden of the West Palace. The emperor said. Niangniang loves flowers the most, even in winter. It is also necessary to let the courtyards of the West Palace bloom like flowers. ”

Li Chengqi is a heart, Shen Yan understands. But she also expected that sooner or later, if he was good to herself, he would be met with many jealous eyes.

"I heard that after the emperor ascended the throne, many ministers sent their daughters and nieces to the palace. The harem is full now? Shen Yan asked again, "Who are the noble daughters of their families?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, in the harem, including you, there are a total of eight people who can be ranked at the top, and the rest of the beauties have not yet been sealed. There are seventeen people, and last month a new batch of show girls was selected, there are thirty-two. As for their names and origins, the old slave went down to find out one by one later, and then wrote it to the mother? ”

"Hmm."

"Niangniang," Su You still didn't forget, "Although there are hundreds of flowers competing in the harem, they can't compare to the weight of Niangniang in the emperor's heart." During the year that you were not in the palace, the emperor would go to Empress Dong and Concubine Jiao. is to go to the spiritual beauty, other concubines and beauties, rarely see the emperor. ”

"Lingmei?" It is not surprising that Li Chengqi went to spend the night with Wei Min and Jiao Huaiyu. But who is this spiritual beauty? Li Chengqi likes her, but he failed to give her a serious position, which shows that her identity is humble. There is no merit and no excellence, and you can't get to a high position. So how did she get Li Chengqi's favor? Shen Yan was a little curious.

And she asked. Su You didn't have a clear answer. He only said: "This spiritual beauty was sent in from outside the palace soon after the emperor ascended the throne." As for where she came from, the old slave really didn't know, the old slave only knew that the emperor would often call her Ling'er......" He paused, and asked Shen Yan tentatively, "I don't know anything about this Lingmei?" He thought that Shen Yan knew about the existence of this Ling'er.

Shen Yan suddenly felt funny, Li Chengqi thought about the people who took the palace soon after he ascended the throne, and he must have known him before he ascended the throne. She didn't know that he had already had a favorite woman outside. If this is the case, why do so many things for her and say so many beautiful things to her?

For a while, she had a lot of hatred for Li Chengqi. She thought that now that she was the emperor, she could have many women around her, but if she was in love with two women at the same time, she really looked down on him. Even if the person she loves deeply is just that Ling'er, it is better than him doing two things.

"Niangniang, it's just because of that beautiful and weird elf that she has made the emperor happy. The emperor is the most nervous, or you. Su You has been in the deep palace for many years, so he naturally knows how to observe words and feelings, and seeing that Shen Yan's expression has changed because of the spiritual beauty, he began to say words of consolation, "Niangniang has just come back, but don't be angry with the emperor because of this spiritual beauty." ”

Shen Yan was shocked to realize that the second half of his sentence was to the point. Yes, she almost hated Li Chengqi because of this spiritual beauty - how could the hatred in her heart be written on her face? She wants to be like no one, accept his kindness to herself, and welcome his so-called "only her in my heart".

He is the emperor, even if there are no spiritual beauties today, there will be more beauties in the future, even concubines. What she has to do is to keep her position and her child's honor in this place full of hypocrisy.

"Father-in-law Su," because of Su You's kind reminder, Shen Yan had a good impression of him, so he gently instructed, "You will call all the palace people who are on errands in the West Palace to the outside of the palace, and this palace wants to recognize a familiar face." ”

"Yes." Su You retreated, only to feel that Shen Yan's actions were different from the other masters in the harem now. He had never heard of the master of the palace who would care about what kind of palace people were in his palace when he first arrived. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Queen Xi was in the Hou Mansion in the end, and this person who was a family knew more about the importance of observing people.

Shen Yan recognized the palace people in the West Palace, and had breakfast again, and Li Chengqi also came over in the morning. Hearing that he was coming, Shen Yan still couldn't bear a sense of disgust in her heart, but she still smiled and greeted him very gently.

Li Chengqi told her that today in the court, all the ministers heard the news that she had miraculously survived the cliff, and they all congratulated her, and the Ministry of Rites also advised her to make up a grand canonization ceremony.

Hearing these words, Shen Yan couldn't help but think of Li Chengmao. When he returned to the palace and lied that she was dead, but now that she has returned, wouldn't he have become a virtuous king who can lie in the hearts of his ministers? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask Li Chengqi: "Your Majesty, I came back suddenly, will it bring trouble to King Xian?" ”

Li Chengqi looked slightly stunned, and was silent for a moment before saying: "He deceived me like Huo Huwei, and he is guilty." I have asked him to give me a reasonable explanation within three days. If there is no reasonable explanation, I will punish him and Huo Weiwei. ”

Shen Yan was frightened and said hurriedly: "They all responded to my request......

"No one should fool me." Li Chengqi looked at Shen Yan closely, and his eyes were full of meaningful warnings. He asked her to remember that Li Chengmao and Huo Qing were punished because of her. In the future, whatever she does, she shouldn't wantonly unite with anyone to deceive him.

With his appearance, Shen Yan unconsciously took a step back. She sneered and said an incomplete sentence: "You are the emperor now." The meaning can be extended and far-reaching.

Seeing her reaction, the color on Li Chengqi's face suddenly softened. He stepped forward in distress, took Shen Yan's hand, and said gently: "Yan'er, no matter what kind of identity I am, I am your husband." ”

Shen Yan was unmoved, quietly withdrew her hand, turned sideways and said with a cold face: "If the emperor really wants to cure their crimes, then he will also cure mine." ”

She just returned to the palace, and Li Chengqi didn't want to be unhappy with her because of this past. He frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "That's it." And the past is gone. However," seeing that Shen Yan's cold face had a beautiful color, he took the opportunity to say, "It's okay to forgive them for their innocence, but Yan'er, you have to promise me one thing." ”

"What?" Shen Yan raised her eyes to look at him, and her voice was really gentle.

Li Chengqi stepped forward, held her hands, and looked at her seriously, "I want you to agree, and forget An Yangping forever." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yan smiled reluctantly after being stunned for a short time, and tapped her chin. Then, she asked with some doubts: "How does the emperor know that I am with An Yangping?" ”

Li Chengqi smiled proudly, but he didn't answer, only pinched her cheek and said, "I'm the emperor, what do I want to know, isn't it easy?" ”

He prevaricated with such big words, and Shen Yan would not ask more. Shen Yan thought that it was more important to explain why she decided to stay by An Yangping's side. She said: "Actually, I stayed by Anyang's side for another reason. ”

The main reason why she chose to stay by An Yangping's side was that Sima Wenyong was forced to exchange hearts with An Yangping. True or false, in the end, it made Li Chengqi feel a lot better.

After hearing her explanation, he hugged her even more happily, "Yan'er, you didn't betray me. His joy made him excited, and he simply picked her up horizontally, and strode straight in the direction of the dormitory.

"Your Majesty ......" Shen Yan was anxious, but she also knew that this moment would come sooner or later. Therefore, after a few words, she let him go. Blushing and hugging his neck, it was a kind of obedience that even she herself could not imagine.

Li Chengqi carefully put her down on the bed, and seeing her embarrassed appearance, the desire in her whole body suddenly became enthusiastic and swollen violently. He looked at her carefully, as if he were looking at one of his most precious things, and while reaching out, he gently stroked her cheek, and then wrapped the hair on her forehead, and finally called "Yan'er" softly.

"Huh?" The air was full of ambiguity, and for a while, Shen Yan forgot her disdain for him. At this moment, she only sees him as a man, a man who can make a woman comfortable. She told herself that what he meant in her heart in the future was like that and nothing else.

With such a decision, no matter how delicately his kiss fell on her lips, it couldn't make her heart move. She caters to nothing more than a man. She has no feelings for him, no love. It's just that when his warm breath rushed to her neck and chest, her body still reacted uncontrollably and happily. (To be continued.) )
