(one hundred and eighteen) would
Just now, those concubines' high opinion of Mei Yurong turned into schadenfreude. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
His Majesty took the hand of the Queen Mother, and finally raised his glass to announce the end of the banquet, and then took the hand of the Queen Mother and took the lead and walked out.
His Majesty's intention to go all the way with the Queen Mother tonight could not be more obvious.
However, it was originally the queen's birthday banquet, and His Majesty would stay in Xuande Palace, which was a matter of course.
However, for Mei Yurong, she always felt that the eyes of everyone around her were ridiculing and ridiculing her.
She clenched her clenched fists and glanced at Liu Guifei, who was walking last, and their eyes intertwined, and Liu Guifei quickly staggered her eyes.
Everyone thought that Shen Zhan and Song Mier, who would linger when they returned to the dormitory, separated halfway.
After the banquet ended, Shen Zhan stayed as a matter of course, and the group also walked from the Liangyi Hall to the direction of the Qianchu Palace.
"Brother Zhan seems to have something on his mind?"
Along the way, although Shen Zhan was holding Song Mier's hand, he had been concentrating and did not speak, it was already dark, and the sound of insects and insects was already whispering among the surrounding shadows and shadows in the woods and grasses, and the palace people who followed behind him couldn't help but relax their steps more in this environment, but they made the surroundings even quieter.
At this time, if the hero and heroine don't speak, it is particularly prominent.
What's more, Shen Zhan looked like he was preoccupied.
"Could it be that Brother Zhan is still remembering Mei Yurong just now?"
Song Mier smiled and winked at Shen Zhan with a "I understand you" expression.
"What do you say?" Shen Zhan couldn't laugh or cry, this girl, what kind of expression is that!
Shen Zhan is really helpless to take Song Mier sometimes, in this harem, who is as big or small as her, clever and eccentric? Even the emperor himself dared to joke.
However・・・・・・
"Ahem, Mi'er, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to the imperial study to deal with some things, Mi'er go back first, I'll come when I go."
Shen Zhan froze, turned around and faced Song Mier, holding Song Mier with one hand and Song Mier's shoulder with the other, his tone was full of apologies, his voice was gentle and full, and the palace maids around him couldn't help but bow their heads and quietly took a small step back: We are all diehards of the queen's mother, we must not be confused by His Majesty's tone... It's terrible, sisters, hurry back...
There was still a hint of apology in Shen Zhan's gentle tone, although it was not obvious, but Song Mier quickly caught it.
"It doesn't matter, Brother Zhan, go and get busy with yourself. I'm tired of a day, I'm afraid I didn't eat anything at the dinner, I'll cook two small dishes later, Brother Zhan will come over when he's done, I'll warm the dishes for you."
Shen Zhan didn't say what it was, and Song Mier didn't ask, only said that he would personally cook one or two side dishes, which made Shen Zhan's guilt even heavier, but this still couldn't stop Shen Zhan from leaving, however, he took Song Mier's hand, lowered his head and kissed him, "Don't hurt yourself, I promise not to let others see it." ”
These two sentences were thoughtless, but Song Mier understood, the former was saying that he should be careful when cooking, and the latter was saying that Shen Zhan would go out later, and he would pick a remote path or even a secret path to walk, so that no one would see that the emperor left hand in hand with the queen mother one moment ago, and then raised his feet and walked out of Xuande Palace. If you know that you went to the imperial study, I am afraid that you will have to guess for no reason whether there was any movement in the previous dynasty, or whether the queen mother angered Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is going to the imperial study to write a holy decree or something?
The harem girl has nothing to do, and she will think about it all day long, and if there is no trouble, she will create some trouble.
"Go ahead," Song Mi'er also gently straightened Shen Zhan's clothes with his other hand. A sweet smile was revealed.
Shen Zhan walked out of Xuande Palace from the side door, but on the way to the imperial study, he waved off the palace people who followed, leaving An Jin alone to follow.
An Jin was surprised, but he didn't show any emotion on his face, he only lowered his head and followed Shen Zhan quietly, and he didn't know how His Majesty the master walked, and he came to the front of a dilapidated palace.
This place, An Jin has never been here.
Who is the Great Eunuch of An Jin? The big red man around His Majesty, as a big red man's basic duty, is to be familiar with the size of the map in this palace, so as to facilitate the delivery of His Majesty: which road does not meet sticky concubines, which road has the best scenery, which road has the favorite things of each palace and which favored master, An Jin is also like a number of treasures, eight or nine out of ten places in this palace, An Jin is clear. But now, His Majesty has taken himself on a road that he has never walked before, to a place that he has never been to. The road was desolate and deserted, and there was not even a single hair.
An Jin knew in his heart that His Majesty was afraid that His Majesty would take him to deal with some private matters. An Jin was both happy and afraid. The joy is that this proves that His Majesty trusts him, and what he is afraid of is that if he breaks something unknown, today next year, he can dream of asking his little apprentice Gao Xiaoping to remove the grass on the grave.
Thinking like this, An Jin buried his head lower, his ears and eyes did not look, and he tried to forget the road he had just walked.
"You're here?"
An Jin was burying his head, and suddenly a female voice sounded, and in the middle of the night, with the desolation around him, how to infiltrate people.
An Jin subconsciously shrunk his neck and touched his goosebumps on his shoulder, and was stunned again, why is this voice so familiar?!!
The eunuch of An Jin was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he suddenly realized who he was following and where.
I didn't hear who that female voice was just now, I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it・・・・・・
An Jin thought silently in his heart, taking advantage of the fact that the owner of the voice had not yet appeared in front of his eyes, and regardless of whether Shen Zhan could see it or not, he bowed down and made a salute, his eyes did not dare to raise his eyes, and he retreated and retreated without making a sound until he could no longer see or hear, squatting on the edge of the grass that could not only prevent people from passing by and be reminded, but also could not hear and could not see the master talking to people, and squatted down honestly.
Shen Zhan saw An Jin's movements, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the woman in front of him, his voice a little cold: "When did I propose time, I didn't go to the appointment on time?" ”
"Heh, too." The female voice was clearly a little self-deprecating.
As she moved, the person who made the female voice gradually revealed from the shadows.
Probably because it was a private meeting, the man was dressed very low-key, with crow-colored narrow sleeves and a dark red full-breasted skirt, if it weren't for the light in the bright place, her clothes would almost blend in with the night. But when her face appeared in the bright light, it was like a faint starlight with the light of the moon. No matter how simple and simple this person is, as soon as this face comes out, he will immediately make the clothes gorgeous, and at this time, the bleak night will be charming and dazzling.
This person is Liu Shuxing.
Rao is Shen Zhan was angry again, and when he saw Liu Shuxing's face, his anger disappeared a little.
However, Shen Zhan is familiar with Liu Shuxing's temperament and knows her usual arrogance, if she softens her tone, Liu Shuxing may immediately get up and speak.
Besides, he is not a person who is stunned, and he will not let his guard down with just one face.
So he still kept his face calm: "You tell me, what do you mean today?" ”
Shen Zhan asked about Liu Shuxing's dedication to the moon.
If Liu Shuxing wants to consolidate the emperor's favor, or in order to expand and consolidate her own power, she can push out the moon on weekdays, and Shen Zhan is not a person who will live up to the hearts of beauties, even if he relies on their alliance, he will laugh at this moon - who is not many in the harem? Who is it and what does it make difference?
Yes, Shen Zhan has an alliance with Liu Shuxing.
Otherwise, why is Liu Shuxing arrogant in the palace?
But right now, Liu Shuxing, who is always flying, is a little sluggish.
It's not that she doesn't know that she can do a lot of things and solve a lot of things by relying on her alliance and trust with Shen Zhan, so she dares to push out Langyue so boldly, and use this dazzling way to let Langyue ascend to the big platform of the harem.
But now, she regretted it a little.
The one who has never mentioned it to Lang Yue, and Lang Yue looks like an old man of Shen Zhan. She also wondered why Rongyue was so confident, and felt that as long as she appeared, she would definitely be able to attract Shen Zhan's attention, it turned out that it was because of this.
She regretted it.
Liu Shuxing is not stupid, on the contrary, she is a delicate person, and the last time she was more and more irritable in the face of Song Mier, Liu Shuxing realized that she had feelings for Shen Zhan.
This is not surprising, an emperor, powerful and wise, ambitious and scheming, he weaves a gentle net, anyone will gradually indulge in it, right?
But she was already riding a tiger.
As early as when she became an alliance with Shen Zhan, in order to increase her bargaining chips, under the influence of her family, she also agreed to that ally's request. But at that time, she didn't foresee that she would have feelings for Shen Zhan, and she had begun to gradually lose her ability to bear the company and covetousness of other women for Shen Zhan.
However, at that time, she had already agreed to that person's request and brought Lang Yue into the palace.
She regretted it even more.
If he wants to enter the palace, he originally had a plan, and he has used many methods to collect Shen Zhan's information, but he doesn't know what else Shen Zhan has who looks similar to Lang Yue! When she brought it in, she was still thinking about why she would find someone who had no characteristics in appearance, and could only be regarded as beautiful. The old man is called... Moon Shadow?
What she regretted was that she couldn't even find out what she was planning about, how could the one who was already the enemy of Shen Zhan know so easily and be so confident? Looking at the appearance of the moon, I am afraid that it was raised several years ago, so in this way, is the old man also in the hands of that person?
Liu Shuxing's back was a little cold: that person has such a powerful method, if he deviates to Shen Zhan's ship early, will he have a chance of winning against that person?
Liu Shuxing's face turned pale when he thought about it, but in Shen Zhan's eyes, it was like Liu Shuxing, who had always raised his head proudly, but he was flustered because he had promoted a palace maid.
Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Your face is so pale, are you worried?" ”
Liu Shuxing's body trembled, and he was about to open his mouth, but his heart moved, but he changed his words: "No, I, the concubine has no ・・・・・・"
She changed her usual domineering appearance, her eyes were red, she couldn't speak clearly, and she looked like she had done something stupid and was flustered.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have ・・・・・・"
Liu Shuxing wanted to speak and stopped, and his expression was a little painful.
She raised her head and looked at Shen Zhan stupidly, then quickly lowered her head, and a tear fell from her eyelid.
Shen Zhan was a little surprised, it was the first time he had seen Liu Shuxing look so soft.
"If you are willing to give in in front of your aunt, you may not be angry today."
Shen Zhan's tone was quite funny, and his tone sounded relaxed and happy, but on this occasion, it was a little playful.
Liu Shuxing's heart was cold, he was still too reckless, he shouldn't underestimate Shen Zhan, in order not to offend that side, he agreed to let Langyue perform, and they also swore that Shen Zhan would definitely be in chaos when he saw Langyue.
But now, isn't it just that the palace maid has become a jade face, if Shen Zhan puts the moon there and doesn't move, there is no way to make the moon. But if the moon doesn't get the favor, will that person come up with new trouble?
Shen Zhan is also too shrewd!
What to do?!
If you don't give an explanation now, maybe you won't be able to catch Shen Zhan's line again.
But if he denies it now, wouldn't that all that work have been wasted? If so, will that person turn his face and deny people?
Liu Shuxing has always been proud that he can occupy a favorable situation in the two camps without a trace, and before the winner is decided, he will choose the strong one to live in.
But she overestimated her heart for Shen Zhan.
also underestimated Shen Zhan's ability.
Liu Shuxing had a headache for the first time, why did he have to sway on both sides, should he make up his mind to really choose a side to come out of the team?
Let her think again・・・・・・
But now, what should be done?
Liu Shuxing took a deep breath, she wiped her tears, and looked like she didn't care, "Why do you have to be soft?" My aunt is like this, and so is my father! How about the concubine's suit? It's not like it's going to end up like today! ”
Liu Shuxing's words seemed to be vague, but in fact she was very skillful, and she deliberately led the conversation to the Liu family.
Liu Shuxing and the Liu family have disagreements for more than a day or two, if you take this opportunity to suppress the Liu family's thoughts that should not be there, with her aunt or Your Majesty's queen mother, her father is Your Majesty's own uncle, and Your Majesty will not make plans to kill your relatives in righteousness. It's a big deal, the Liu family has been silent for a few years, and when the time comes, let the eldest brother who tends to agree with his own ideas sit in the position of the head of the family, and the Liu family will not rise again. But if he misses the trap today, not only will he not be able to save himself, but the Liu family will inevitably fall into a quagmire. Liu Shuxing's heart was horizontal, and he made a decision in a moment.
"What do you mean," Shen Zhan clasped his arms together, "This moon was presented to me by the Liu family?" ”
Liu Shuxing lowered his head, neither admitting nor denying it.
"Why, I think you are not favored enough, you don't even care about your own daughter, and you have to push someone to share the favor?"
"No, it's just...
"What a foil! I'd like to see how she can help you! ”
Shen Zhan's tone was a little cold, and Liu Shuxing could hear that he was angry.
"Your Majesty," Liu Shuxing raised his hand and grabbed Shen Zhan's arm, his tone softened, "Your Majesty, they, they're just too worried・・・・・・"
What to worry about, Liu Shuxing didn't explain, but the two people who talked didn't know, "I picked up Langyue in the snow when she was young, and since then she has followed the concubine, Xu is like this, so I called Langyue ・・・・・・" Liu Shuxing's tone was quiet.
"You mean, Lane Yue followed you when you were young, is that true?" Shen Zhan asked in a condensed voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Lang Yue was only ten years old when she followed her concubine, but nine years have passed in the blink of an eye・・・・・・" Liu Shuxing put the hand holding Shen Zhan's arm, turned to look into the distance, and looked a little lonely.
There was silence behind him for a while, and it took a long time before Shen Zhan stepped forward and hugged Liu Shuxing slightly, "Don't worry." ”
After that, Shen Zhan didn't say anything else, turned around and left, and his expression was a little bit less.
But seeing Shen Zhan go away, Liu Shuxing breathed a sigh of relief.
Her pounding heartbeat gradually subsided. His Majesty said that there was no need to worry, that is, His Majesty promised himself. So... Is this a pass?
Liu Shuxing's nails picked at the trunk of the tree, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
・・・・・・
After Shen Zhan left, Liu Shuxing did not leave immediately. She leaned against the trunk of the tree for a moment, then lifted the hem of her skirt again, but walked not outward, but toward the deeper and darker chambers of the path.
"You're finally here."
Liu Shuxing had just approached a dark and almost deserted flowerbed when a voice sounded behind the flowerbed.
Liu Shuxing also changed the fragile beauty that was rarely revealed in front of Shen Zhan, and his expression was arrogant, and he was a little cold.
She didn't speak, but stood expressionlessly in front of the flowerbed where the talker was hiding, looking into the darkness for a moment.
"The master said, how to take the next step, the concubine can cooperate a lot!"
The man in the shadows, whose voice was as cold as a silver spring, became a little ugly and distorted because he had not concealed his pride. It was as if a crack had opened in the delicate porcelain plate, and a patch of dirty grass had been found beneath the clear ice. Seeing that Liu Shuxing didn't talk, the voice in the dark let out a coquettish laugh again: "Why, I can't discuss in your palace today, isn't Niangniang used to it?" ”
It turned out to be the person who was talking to Liu Shuxing in the dark in the palace!
"Huh! What a pity! Liu Shuxing didn't answer the man's words, but made a mockery.
"What are you sorry for?!"
The man was still a little nervous.
"It's a pity for you." Liu Shuxing's expression was proud, and the corners of her eyes that had cried just now were still slightly red, but under today's situation and expression, she put on some domineering flattery.
"Today was supposed to be a great day for you, and I should have congratulated you, but I see that you are still here to talk to this palace. I don't know if I should congratulate you again. ”
"You!"
The man in the shadows was very excited, and strode out from behind the flowerbed. Her expression was atmospheric and eager, her originally delicate face was even more ugly, and her cold and heroic temperament in the main hall before had also disappeared because of her facial expression, which was extremely ugly.
This person is Lang Yue, who has just been named Mei Yurong!
A slave is a slave, and she really can't get on the stage!
When Liu Shuxing saw the appearance of Lang Yue, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and his already wavering heart couldn't help but shake again.
She really didn't show it on her face, this Langyue just sealed a jade tail and cocked up, thinking about her arrogant temptations in the past, she must not be a peaceful master, if she doesn't suppress her arrogance today, I'm afraid that what I found is not a helper, but a stupid opponent!
Liu Shuxing thought like this, but there was a sincere expression on his face, "Speaking of which, this palace should really congratulate you", Liu Shuxing was very serious: "Congratulations on you for planning for so long, and you are finally able to stand in the light and talk to this palace." Your master must be very relieved to know about it. ”
"You!" Lang Yue's eyes widened, the arrogance just now disappeared in an instant, and she played another person for ten years, and finally showed up more generously, but she still wanted to call the person in front of her! Salute her!
However, he just showed up and got a jade appearance, and he was favored a few times, what concubine position is not always hand-to-hand? When the time comes, are you afraid that the master will feel that he is inferior to this woman, and he will tell her to suppress herself everywhere? !
When Liu Shuxing saw the change in Langyue's expression, he guessed what she was thinking, smiled coldly, as if inadvertently: "I have just seen Your Majesty in this palace." ”
What the?!
Didn't Your Majesty stay in Xuande Palace?!
Lang Yue claimed to know Liu Shuxing, and she would not suspect that she would lie about this kind of thing, but she suddenly felt for the first time that she couldn't seem to hear any news if she left Liu Shuxing after sealing the concubine. Your Majesty meets her! What a chance! If he was still in front of Liu Shuxing, would he have a chance...... Lang Yue stopped her thoughts, but her attitude was two points more respectful than just now: "Niangniang, Your Majesty, did he say anything?" ”
Since Liu Shuxing mentioned His Majesty in front of him, he must have discussed something about himself.
Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness poured out from Lang Yue: she was already a concubine, but why did she have to go with Liu Shuxing?
She suppressed the emotions in her heart and looked at Liu Shuxing expectantly.
"Don't use that expression, it's not like it at all, who are you playing, um, Moon Shadow?" Liu Shuxing frowned, and "taught" with a smile.
Ling Yue was startled, a layer of cold sweat appeared on her back, how could she forget this stubble!
He never told Liu Shuxing who he was pretending to be to approach His Majesty.
In the final analysis, Liu Shuxing is cooperating with his own master, and he is just a chess piece, and he does not have the confidence to fight hard with Liu Shuxing. I'm just... I just want to breathe. Liu Shuxing really wants to chase after him, for the sake of the master's face, he will not die, and he is afraid that he will also shed his skin!
The master will not be angry with himself! Weigh it up to know who is more appeased! The master will only blame himself for not dealing with the truth between confession and truth!
A thin layer of sweat oozed from the corners and sideburns of Lang Yue's forehead, and she involuntarily bent over, bowed, and lowered her tone: "Niangniang, you also know that the slave is just an errand runner, and she can't be the master of anything." Whatever the master tells the slave to do, the slave and the maid must do. I'm a shallow person, and I don't have any brains, so I can figure out all those twists and turns! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to slap herself in the mouth, how could she not change the face of a slave! Could it be that Liu Shuxing and these people are born masters? Why do you involuntarily want to grovel?
"Really?" Liu Shuxing didn't demolish her, but only changed his words again, "Your Majesty asked the palace, what is your relationship with the palace." It seems that His Majesty cares a lot about this. Saying that, Liu Shuxing sneered, but with a little joy and pride, "I don't know what's wrong with Your Majesty, it seems that you are my Liu family forced me to send out a solid favor, it seems that if the relationship between this palace and you is not good, Your Majesty's attitude will be different." ”
Lang Yue was stunned for a moment, and then straightened up slightly, but her tone had a hint of pleading, "Then, Niangniang, you... What do you say? ”
"What does Hongu say?" Liu Shuxing covered his lips with a handkerchief and rolled his eyes, "This palace said that you are a personal palace person in this palace, and you will serve this palace very well, and this palace will not be able to leave you for a day." Now that you have become His Majesty's person, this palace is both reluctant and happy for you. I hope you can follow this palace and serve Your Majesty well. ”
"Oh, that's right", Liu Shuxing nodded his chin, "Let Bengong think about it, what did your master say to Bengong before, on the premise of not destroying his plan, everything is in charge of Bengong?" Alas, I wonder if there will be a second, third, or fourth person in this world who looks like Moon Shadow? ”
Lang Yue was startled, took a step back, the look in her eyes changed, and finally gave up struggling, and when she raised her eyes, she was already grateful, she slowly knelt down and gave Liu Shuxing a big gift: "In the future, please also ask Sister Guifei to take her sister, my sister must do her best and die." ”
