Such a guess made Mrs. Meng couldn't help but be shocked, so she asked carefully, "Has His Royal Highness King Duan gone to Luling and dealt with Concubine?" ”

"His Royal Highness is in charge of the collection of books, and Ah Yu is helping in the academy, so I just met." Mrs. Shen decided to confess, "Xu is two people who fell in love, and His Royal Highness appreciates Auntie and has also helped us a lot." We originally wanted to recruit a son-in-law for Auntie, but who knew that His Royal Highness King Duan got in out of thin air and said it was ...... I want to marry a concubine. ”

"He wants to marry Grandma!" The speculation was confirmed, and Mrs. Meng was very surprised.

It doesn't matter if her daughter was taken by Emperor Huiping, after all, the two of them were in the capital, and they met when they were young, so it was not abrupt. But his granddaughter is far away in Luling, Xu Yan has been going back and forth between the capital and Mobei for many years, and this time he happened to go to Luling, and he was ......

is really worthy of a brother raised by a mother.

Mrs. Meng slowed down for a long time before accepting the news. She knows the temperament of Meng Shu and Shen Ping, and knows that they have a baby Cheng for Shen Yu, but now seeing Meng Shu like this, I am afraid that the couple has already responded to this matter.

Of course, Mrs. Meng has heard of Xu Yan's reputation, the fierce and vicious, cold and murderous god of war, that is the most common rumor in the market. Even if the fierce gods are biased, but being able to lead thousands of troops and horses to kill the enemy army in Mobei is cold, how can it be an idle role?

Old Madam Meng couldn't help but look at Shen Yu again, her delicate face, delicate posture, and her black and white eyes were pure and clean, but when she smiled, she was full of water, seductive and deep. She inherited Meng Shu's beauty, but she added a little more delicate spirit, and she had a more sassy temperament than her daughter who was pampered in a deep boudoir golden silk cage.

"Well, tomorrow I will take Grandma into the palace, as for what will happen later, it's all up to you."

Mrs. Shen said "um", "Grandma's opportunities are different from mine, and it still depends on her own creation." ”

The two of them, you and I said a word, and Shen Yu was confused when she heard it.

But I can probably figure out a clue - Mrs. Shen is obviously intact, but she refuses to enter the palace because she is sick, there must be someone in the palace who doesn't want to see her, or can't see it. Is it because of that person that my mother has refused to return to Beijing all these years? At that time, Xu Yan visited the Shen family for the first time, and her mother told her not to get close to Xu Yan, is this also the reason?

Could it be that the mother has some entanglement with the concubine?

But it's not right to think about it, I heard that the concubine is Xu Yan, who is nearly forty years old, and she must be the same age as her grandmother, and when her mother was born, I am afraid that she has already entered the palace, what can she be entangled with? But if it's not a concubine, who will it be?

Full of doubts hidden in her heart, Shen Yan couldn't hold it back, and asked cautiously: "Mother, why don't you enter the palace?" “

Mrs. Shen smiled, stroked her bun, and did not answer.

It's just an old thing, she is avoiding taboos here, maybe others have forgotten it? She refused to enter the palace, she just wanted them to forget more cleanly and completely.

It's best that everyone can forget about jì and be safe from now on-

Approaching the wax moon, the weather is getting colder, and after these snowfalls, it is even more cold.

The snow on the palace road has long been swept away, and the red wall glazed tiles stand quietly under the sun, with a pale and silent situation. Emperor Huiping went to the Lama Hall after retiring from the court today, and hastily turned a few pages of the book, but he was restless, so he walked around the imperial garden, estimated that the hour was almost up, and slowly paced towards the Yongfu Palace.

His steps were slow, as if hesitating, as if hesitating.

The corridors of the palace are crisscrossed and crisscrossed, and the entrance of Yongfu Palace can be seen through several small doors covered with bright yellow glazed tiles.

Looking up at the sky, the pale sun was close overhead, shrinking the shadow of the person to a very short time, as if the shadow had also become timid, and only dared to shrink into a ball. Emperor Huiping is wearing a bright yellow robe, and the big coat is also embroidered with a dragon in bright yellow, which makes people more and more precious and majestic.

At the corner outside the Yongfu Palace, there was a shadow of the inner supervisor bowing down to lead the way, two inner prisoners walked by, behind her was an old lady in full costume, and next to her was a slender girl, the smoky and water-colored cloak swung with the waist, and there was a moving taste at a young age.

Emperor Huiping's gaze did not linger long, still looking around the corner.

Two attendant maids followed respectfully, and then there was an inner supervisor.

When the group arrived at the gate of Yongfu Palace, they entered smoothly, and the front of the palace gate was clean and empty again, and there was not even a shadow of a bird.

The heart that was originally full of anticipation suddenly cooled down, and Emperor Huiping looked at it blankly, his legs and feet heavy.

Didn't the concubine summon Meng Shu into the palace, why didn't she come?

The inner supervisor who called Yongfu Palace asked him, Xu is face was too ugly, and the inner supervisor replied tremblingly, "The concubine originally summoned Miss Meng San into the palace, but she failed to comply with the edict because of the death of Mrs. Meng, and her worries were too heavy and lingering. ”

Emperor Huiping didn't react when he heard this, he stood there and thought for a long time, and left with a sigh.

In the Yongfu Palace, Shen Yu followed Mrs. Meng to finish the bowing ceremony, and Concubine Cui said "no courtesy" and ordered someone to give a seat.

Concubine Cui and Mrs. Meng are of similar age, one was a concubine of the Hou Mansion and the other was the daughter of the Bofu, and they were both in the circle of nobles in the capital, so they naturally had dealings. It's just that one entered the deep palace later, and the other married a courtier, and the already deep friendship is gradually eroded, and now when they meet, they are only left with etiquette.

The palace maid moved the begonia-shaped stool with the red sandalwood girdle over, and Mrs. Meng confessed her guilt and sat down.

Shen Yu is a young girl's family, and when she talks with the two old ladies, she doesn't dare to sit deeply, she just sits in a posture, and she is tired and panicked when she is respectful.

Concubine Cui had a kind smile on her face, took a book from the palace maid's hand and put it on the table, "Is this set of printed books from you?" ”

"The folk girl's carving insect skills make the concubine laugh." Shen Yu smiled shyly.

The concubine said with approval, "It's not easy to have such a dexterous mind at a young age. I've always asked about it, but no one can make it look so neat and clean, how do you do that? ”

Here's how to overprint the book.

Shen Yan used to dare to play some tricks in front of Xu Yan, but now in the face of this concubine who has become an old goblin in the deep palace, she naturally didn't dare to think carefully, so she said it truthfully, and the ready-made overprinted book at hand was detailed.

Concubine Cui responded a few times from time to time, but her mind didn't fall on Shen Yan's words.

The concubine's gaze wandered over Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was covered with a smoky and water-colored cloak, and although the hair on the collar was not the best, it was fine and soft, which perfectly matched the skin tone. Her delicate face is embedded in the fluffy white fox fur, which is more and more soft and white, like fine porcelain, smooth and soft, and introverted, worthy of the good skin raised by the soft water of Luling Wenshan.

Because she was still in her grandfather's filial piety, she didn't wear any golden hairpins, but only took hostas to pull her hair and decorate two plain Dujuan palace flowers.

The body is wearing a jade-white collared brocade robe, embroidered with ivory and tea and white silk threads with fine and complex begonia patterns, at first glance it is not eye-catching, look carefully, only to feel that the embroidery is exquisite. A butterfly on her chest is made of colored silk threads, and her posture is lifelike.

Looking down, Luo's skirt fell to the ground, hiding her feet.

There is no dazzling thing all over the body, but at a glance, there is still a beautiful aura flowing, as if innate, which is completely different from the dignified and courteous ladies in the capital.

Her voice is sweet and has a soft tail note, which is pleasing to the ear.

is indeed a rare beauty, no wonder she can make Xu Yan so infatuated and leave behind such stubborn and ruthless words.

Concubine Cui sighed slightly in her heart, and couldn't help but think of Lu Roujia.

When it comes to appearance, Shen Yu and Lu Roujia have their own merits, their facial features are delicate and beautiful, the more they look at it, the more they like it, but after all, Shen Yu grows in a place where the mountains are warm and the water is soft, although Lu Roujia has a good fat powder to raise, in the end it is not as moist and white as Shen Yu.

However, when it comes to qi rhyme, it is completely different, one is the peony in the world, and the other is the begonia in the heavenly palace.

Some people like the magnificence of peony, but some people like the beauty of begonias, and unfortunately, Xu Yan likes the latter.

was already clear in her heart, and Concubine Cui couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Roujia.

She knows her son's temperament best, and her embarrassing status is even clearer than Concubine Cui, and now that she has seen Shen Fei's appearance, Concubine Cui has understood that if she wants to dispel her son's idea of marrying Shen Concubine as a concubine, it is really difficult to climb to the sky.

She couldn't intervene in this matter, so she could only take a step back to see if she could find a position for Lu Roujia as a side concubine, which fulfilled her wish-

Although being a side concubine has wronged Lu Roujia, who was born as the daughter of the Houmen, no matter how strong the feelings are, there are days when they fade, and now Xu Yan is obsessed with light side dishes outside the palace, and when he gets tired of eating in a few years, he can still taste the benefits of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Lu Roujia has only survived for a few years, and when she has a child in the future, she will get along for a long time, with her family background, won't she get a good result?

With such a plan, Empress Dowager Cui felt a lot more relieved.

After Shen Yu finished speaking, Concubine Cui also finished looking at it. , although she doesn't look down on Shen Fei's background, she is not a person who has been looking down on the people for a long time by virtue of her identity, and when she heard Shen Yu talk about printing books, she couldn't help but praise a few words, rewarded a few things lightly, and then asked someone to send them out.

From entering Yongfu Palace to stepping out of the palace gate of Yongfu Palace, it was not a stick of incense before and after.

Shen Yu was a little depressed.

She followed behind Old Madam Meng and walked along the corridor without saying a word.

The heavy door is hidden, the red wall is winding, and the two sides are neat palace halls, the same warped cornices, painted gold ornaments, there is not much difference after seeing for a long time. Only occasionally a branch or two sticks protruded from between some of the chambers, and the outer part was also trimmed, losing its natural curved posture.

In winter, everything is sluggish, and although there are occasional flowers and trees on both sides of the palace corridor, they are completely colorless.

The whole palace was gray, and there was nothing but grandeur.

I wonder if when the flowers are in full bloom in spring, will it still be such a tasteless scenery? Shen Yu thought wildly, and suddenly saw that Old Madam Meng in front of her slowed down, and she also hurriedly stopped.

Raising his eyelids slightly, he saw a bright yellow robe embroidered with a dragon.

Shen Yu didn't expect her to meet the emperor. Although it is not uncommon to meet the emperor in the palace, it is really unfortunate that she can meet the emperor in such a short period of time before and after entering the palace.

The eunuch palace who led the way had already knelt down, and Shen Yu followed Mrs. Meng to bow down and shout "Long live".
