(One hundred and sixteen) but for the sake of the king

When Lang Yue came in, the hall had already changed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know if this is prepared by Liu Guifei for herself, or if it is really prepared for Langyue.

After Shen Zhan and Song Mier nodded in agreement, Liu Shuxing smiled gracefully, signaled behind him, and a few young attendants came out of retreat, holding various props in their hands, but in a short time, the joyful and bright hall became a misty water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Concubine Liu is so generous."

Song Mier held his cheeks and looked at the young attendants who met the number of concubines with great interest, moving the screen, moving the screen, and setting up the platform, and after a while, a small high platform appeared on the top of the hall.

The planks in the middle of the platform were lower than those on all sides, and the cloth was covered with a phosphorescent blue of the lake, and from a distance, the breeze blew like a sparkling lake. And around this "lake", there are some lotus leaves, these lotus leaves are not known to be taken out of the glass flower room, or Liu Guifei thought of some other way, obviously it is not the middle of summer, but the real lotus leaves and lotus flowers are used.

On the periphery of these lotus leaves and lotus flowers, there are screens that are slightly wide, and the powder-blue satin fabric is cut into countless palm-wide long curtains, which are softly placed on the screens, and when the wind blows, the satin curtains ripple out a gentle arc.

In addition, under the high platform, I don't know what method was used, there was a white mist slowly flowing out, slowly rising, permeating between the high platforms, and it seemed that the lake was swirling, and the lotus heart was sweet, but it was a good time in the south of the Yangtze River that was extraordinarily gentle and slow.

Rao is Shen Zhan looked unhappy, seeing the collocation of this scene, he was also a little interested, and no longer sat on the throne expressionlessly, but watched the fiddling of the young attendants around the high platform, and after a while, he turned his head and wanted to say something to Song Mier, opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak, so he had to be silent.

A good birthday banquet, how... How did it become like this?

It's obviously the queen's birthday, but these people, at least half of them, are coming for themselves.

Shen Zhan couldn't tell what it felt like in his heart, neither I was the Son of Heaven, the king of the world, I didn't dare to disobey the pride, and there were not too many people in the world who were complacent about me. He just suddenly had a hint of realization, are these people heading towards themselves, or their own position and identity? If it's just a position identity, why can't Song Mier, the same queen, get the same treatment? What is influencing this? They have something to do with me and nothing to the queen, but what is it that they want? And these concubines, who have been around them all their lives, are now going to use and differentiate, each of them is an important chess piece, but once these chess pieces are not important, or once I am not important to them, what will happen to them? What will I do?

Different from the emperors in the past, Shen Zhan has a very enlightened and generous mother, and a father who is very wise in political affairs but a little chaotic in the palace, and the asymmetry in the relationship between parents has led to Shen Zhan being a person who thinks more than others since he was a child, and is more resolute but sensitive. is even more different from other emperors who ascended the throne, either they were cultivated according to the path of the emperor since childhood, and then ascended to the throne; is safe and smooth, or he has been suppressed and bullied, forbearance, planned and moved, and finally fought a bloody way under heavy surroundment, brave and decisive; It is more different from the emperor who has no ambition or is dizzy or weak in his own strength, and has to submit to his mother's family or the regent, and is stupid or suspicious.

Shen Zhan's growth trajectory is different from the established growth trajectory of most emperors in the ancient Jin Dynasty.

His mother is the queen, although she is not the love of the first emperor, but her mother's generosity and kindness have been supported by most of the concubines except for the first emperor's concubine. It can be said that in the harem, except for the concubine who often made stumbling blocks, or blowing the wind on the pillow to let the first emperor make stumbling blocks, Shen Zhan and his queen mother are still doing well. Because the emperor doted on the concubine, the other concubines didn't see the princess every day, and they didn't necessarily love the fox of the concubine, and the queen mother, who was still the queen at the time, considered them everywhere and fought for their interests, the concubines' hearts had long been biased, and it happened that Shen Zhan was born, and the attention of many concubines was instantly transferred to Shen Zhan. It can be said that Shen Zhan not only grew up beside his mother, but also had many concubines who were good friends with his mother, and they all raised Shen Zhan consistently, and Shen Zhan was grateful that these concubines who were good friends with his mother did not let him grow up in the hands of women and have little ambition, but because they were all famous generals and loyal ministers, they had wise minds and soft hearts, and they met Shen Zhan's patience, self-confidence, perseverance and sensitivity.

Later, the concubine's child was also born, unlike Shen Zhan who grew up in the harem, the concubine's child was brought into the hands of the first emperor and raised with the concubine since birth, but it was probably because the concubine and the first emperor were too spoiled, and the child's character in the cultivation of the emperor's path was much more obvious than his benevolence and wisdom.

After the birth of the concubine's child Shen Cang, Shen Zhan's life with his mother suddenly became difficult, probably because the concubine felt that Shen Zhan had threatened her son's imperial road, so she naturally would not show mercy to their subordinates. After all, one is both a grandson and a child, and the other is just a child who spoils the concubine.

And the first emperor took the word for Shen Cang, and opened another stage of Shen Zhan's life.

At that time, Shen Zhan was already twelve years old, and if he followed the rhythm of the cultivation of the prince or even the prince, he would have to go to the imperial study to observe, and it was time for the emperor to teach. However, Shen Zhan had nothing. Even in class, they are crowded with the children of princes, princesses, and ministers, and there is no special imperial homework. Fortunately, after the queen was innocent, his queen mother, with the help of the queen's status and the reason why there were still people to support her, finally found three companions for him when he was ten years old.

The average prince is also two companions, but Shen Zhan is the son of the queen, but he only found three companions, but his eldest sister, because he was the first child born in the harem and a princess, the first emperor was quite favored, and the concubine also turned a blind eye and didn't see it, so there were four companions.

The youngest of them is Song Mier, who is only five years old.

And the Song family is the one who has been silently supporting the Queen Mother.

Song Mier's mother and the queen mother are handkerchiefs, and when she heard that the queen mother's daughter and son needed to accompany the study, she packed her most sensible daughter and sent it to the princess to accompany her.

And his eldest sister didn't see much, and she only had three companions, so she mixed the two companions. The other three escorts of the princess were all girls about the same age as the princess, so they should avoid suspicion, so Shen Zhan became closer to Song Mier.

At the beginning, Shen Zhan also felt that the Song family must not have any good intentions in sending Song Mier into the palace, Song Mier was only five years old, and when he still needed to be taken care of by others, he sent him in to accompany the princess, did he really not deliberately let himself and his eldest sister and queen mother block their hearts and deliberately make a fool of themselves?

But after a long time, I found out that Song Mier was serious... If it weren't for the occasional childish question, Shen Zhan would have thought that Song Mier must have practiced some evil skill to be five or six years younger than his real age. Song Mier's mind is still immature, but he doesn't need them to take care of him at all, and his mind is already equal to that of a seven or eight-year-old child.

And Song Mier followed the eldest princess and was close to him, which made many ministers and disciples of the Song family and Prime Minister Song fall to his side, and also gave him some confidence to compete for the position.

However, at that time, Shen Zhan did not have the idea of competing for the throne, and his queen mother also went with him, competing for the position, so he fought hard, and if he didn't fight, the concubine would not be able to live anyway.

The queen mother never forced herself.

And the competition for the throne came about because his father took the table name for his younger brother.

His imperial father only saw him two or three times a year, and he didn't even give him a watch. Fortunately, the first emperor was probably afraid that others would ridicule him for being wise and martial in the future, and he had an illiterate son, so he did not prevent Shen Zhan from going to the study to take out the book and read it, even if the concubine was coquettish, he did not agree. Shen Zhan also used these books, under the teaching of his mother and several high-ranking concubines, and stumbled to the age of twelve.

At this time, his father, for his seven-year-old son, took the table name.

Shengjing.

It was the seventh birthday of his youngest son, Shen Cang. The first emperor was shocked to find that his youngest sons had been in kindergarten for several years, and now it was the time for the emperor to teach, but there was no table word, and the first emperor immediately consulted the classics all night and selected the word Shengjing.

Sheng: Bright and prosperous.

Jing: Peace and stability.

How much did the first emperor have high hopes for his youngest son, so he used these two words.

Two words to connect with the country's society.

At that time, the image of his father in Shen Zhan's mind suddenly collapsed.

They are all princes, one has a table at the age of seven, and the other has no words at the age of twelve.

One grew up with his father, was enlightened at the age of three, went to kindergarten at the age of five, and the other did not begin his first formal class until he was ten years old.

One is pampered, held everywhere, lives unscrupulously, and one is cautious, cautious, and one step at a time.

Shen Zhan didn't even dare to go to his father and ask why.

So he took a different path.

Shen Zhan went to the Secret Guard when he was twelve years old.

Secret guards are not available to all princes in the calendar.

Only those who were cultivated as emperors would have access to them.

And the reason why Shen Zhan has a secret guard is because he is the son of the queen.

Even if the concubine is unwilling, the first emperor is unhappy, Shen Zhan is both a grandson and a long, and the ministers naturally think that the emperor's eldest son should have a secret guard.

The first emperor couldn't, so he had to arrange secret guards around Shen Zhan and Shen Cang.

Unlike Shen Cang, Shen Zhan regarded his secret guard as a brother.

At the age of twelve, after experiencing a series of blows, after becoming more and more aware of the concubine's intentions and her methods, after witnessing the state of the Secret Guard, Shen Zhan made a decision: to go to the Secret Guard to train.

Since the establishment of the secret guard, no emperor and prince will go to the secret guard to stay. Especially those children who are trained as secret guards, and the cultivation of secret guards experienced is an inhuman means.

The concubine wished that Shen Zhan would die inside. He even felt that this was just a clumsy trick by Shen Zhan to try to attract his father's attention, so what if he went to the Secret Guard? Mixed with minions all day long, and he didn't grow up to be a minion?

The first emperor was also noncommittal, he didn't care about this son in the first place, so he didn't care what he was going to do.

After that, Shen Zhan became what he is now.

There are the strategies taught to him by the queen mother, the calculations and secret calculations learned from the hostile concubines, the ruthless cruelty learned from the father, the indifferent killing learned from the secret guards, and the sensitivity and delicacy learned from the mothers who take care of them.

And all this that Shen Zhan has experienced, which is why Shen Zhan can not get along with Song Mier like a real emperor, and while calculating, he still indulges and spoils her, but Song Mier has accompanied him through his most difficult years, and this kind of affection will probably always exist in his heart.

However, the country and the emotions, the courtiers and the emperor. Some things are not so easy to tell.

Shen Zhan was still immersed in his thoughts, and the music in the main hall had already sounded, and the rhythm of the music was bright, forcing Shen Zhan to interrupt his train of thought.

This is a particularly bright Jiangnan minor tune "Lotus Picking Song".

"Lotus Picking Song" originated from the folk, I don't know who the author is, most of them are sung when the girls are picking lotus.

At first, everyone thought it was a simple song about the process and scenery of lotus picking.

But when this song is more widely circulated and there are more singers, more people will find out that this is a simple lotus picking tune, which is clearly written about men and women!

Fish play lotus leaves, constantly fiddling, this kind of words, even if it makes people blush and heartbeat when they think about it, but it has been sung as an innocent and lively song for a long time!

But there are people who don't believe it, and think that these people are impure and think too much.

But the popularity of "Lotus Picking Song" has also decreased a lot.

The naïve girls still sing this song when they are picking lotuses, maybe they all know what this song means, but what does it matter? If they like it, they are naturally willing to sing it to their lover.

And everyone's ladies are quite tacitly blushing and keeping silent about this song.

However, "Lotus Picking Song" is not a forbidden song, its style is bright and relaxed, the tune is generous and charming, even if the lyrics are bold, it is not a fireworks song that cannot be put on the stage, but because of its brightness and the deep meaning hidden in the lyrics, it forms a contradiction, and people can't help but want to listen to it.

And now, this "Lotus Picking Song" actually sounded in the hall, it is not inappropriate, the calendar is originally open to the people, and there are countless songs describing the love between men and women, this one is the brightest, thinking that the concubine originally wanted to dance to His Majesty, everyone suddenly realized.

But now the concubine can't jump, isn't this cheap for a palace maid? Can the concubine be willing?

Or does the concubine want to dedicate this palace maid to His Majesty?

His Majesty knows the concubine's intentions, will he agree?

Will the queen watch herself get slapped in the face?

Thinking about it, Langyue has already stepped on the drum.

The mist was shrouded, and I watched from a distance a woman in a pink dress coming from a distance, her steps were brisk, but her face was condensed, I saw her walk to the center of the stage, and she was blessed with the rhythm, and she didn't say much, and the heavy drum sounded, and she immediately began to dance.

The concubines below are all frowning, this palace maid is such a big shelf!

A little palace maid, who didn't say anything without a big salute, didn't even say a word of respect, what does this mean?

Song Mier also frowned, could it be that this was Concubine Liu's plan? first took out a box of jewelry, forcing people to take a step back and agree to her palace maid's request to perform, and then let this palace maid slap her face?

Would Liu Guifei be so stupid?!

But Shen Zhan's expression on the side changed completely.

From the moment that Langyue stepped on the stage, the moment Shen Zhan saw Langyue's appearance clearly, Shen Zhan's fists holding the armrests of the throne tightened, his pupils constricted, and he stared at Langyue's figure deadly.

This, this is...

Moon Shadow?!

The body shape, the appearance, and even the curvature of the corners of the mouth... Is this really Moon Shadow?!

Shen Zhan's heart set off a shocking wave.

Who is Moon Shadow?

Moon Shadow was the first Dark Guard to lend a helping hand to Shen Zhan when he entered the Dark Guard Gate when he was twelve years old.

No, at that time, Moon Shadow couldn't be called a Dark Guard, just a Secret Guard. Most of the prepared secret guards come from the good seedlings of the orphanage centers or secret guards everywhere that the chiefs of the secret guards have found everywhere, and a small part of them are those who were lucky enough to survive when protecting their masters, and they were pardoned by the emperor to marry wives and have children, and the wives happen to be secret guards, or women who can maintain their husband's honor and support their husbands' work, and the children born with excellent roots will also be sent to the secret guards.

Lunaris is the latter.

Her parents were the best of the previous generation of Dark Guards, and she was later sent on a mission, but unfortunately both died, leaving only the Moon Shadow orphan. Moon Shadow was raised by all the officers of the Dark Guard, and when it came time to prepare for the selection of the Dark Guard, Moon Shadow vowed to complete the unfinished task of her parents and swear to join the Dark Guard despite the opposition of her elders.

Although Shen Zhan has a mother, he has been similar to Moon Shadow since he was a child, and he was raised by his mother and concubines in the harem, but he had a father but was not close, which sounded a little worse than Moon Shadow, and Moon Shadow soon met him in training and became friends.

Shen Zhan went to the Dark Guard to train, and the prepared Secret Guards didn't know, but the leaders of the Secret Guard knew Shen Zhan's identity, and even the Moon Shadow naturally knew.

But Moon Shadow doesn't have the slightest idea that you are the prince, so I should let you come to your senses, you should be beaten, you should fall, you should starve and be punished together.

At that time, one was raised like a boy in the secret guard, never knew the love between men and women, and a big enmity was in front of him, determined to do penance, bought the hearts of the secret guards, and did not take the love of men and women to heart, and the two of them were like good brothers, born and died, and had a great friendship.

Later, when Shen Zhan was sixteen years old, because of the turmoil in the harem, he had to leave the Dark Guard, and at that time he already had his own Bo Yin and others who grew up in the Dark Guard with his brothers, while Moon Shadow stayed in the Dark Guard as a new coach.

The contact between the two gradually decreased, but they still cared about each other, and occasionally secretly got together, drinking and laughing with Bo Yin and others.

But Shen Zhan was getting busier and busier, and it wasn't that he hadn't been in contact with Moon Shadow for a few months, and he heard Lu Xun say that he was going to carry out a mission, but as soon as he went, Moon Shadow seemed to disappear and never appeared again.

Until now.

The Dark Guard is loyal, this is the result of brainwashing since childhood, and once betrayed, it will be chased and killed by the whole Dark Guard, and Moon Shadow's identity is special, and it is impossible to betray the Dark Guard. But the corpse is to be seen, and the area where Moon Shadow is on a mission and the neighboring states and counties do not have any clues about her, and until now, the people of the Dark Guard are still searching.

Until today.

Is it Moon Shadow?

Shen Zhan's eyes stared at Lang Yue's facial expression.

The appearance is almost the same, although I haven't seen it for several years, but if the moon shadow grows, it is almost like this.

What's more important is that this temperament is too similar, too similar.

Those who don't smile often outside, with a straight face, look cold.

But there is a free and easy, nonchalant moon shadow in his bones.

Is it her?

Lang Yue was on the stage, obviously a bright song, but she danced like a cold fairyland.

At the same time, Liu Shuxing opened his mouth, and he was actually singing for Lang Yue.

At this moment, no one can say that Liu Guifei deliberately did not act. Du Xuan condescended to sing to a palace maid, it was indeed unable to dance due to injury, and besides, singing is not also a kind of performance, but it is reasonable.

But this situation is similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival between Yue Shuyi and Sun Xuan. But that time it was Yue Shuyi who danced, this time... Is this a comparison of Yue Shuyi to a palace maid?

Someone in the audience turned their heads and ears, and Yue Shuyi's face became ugly.

And Shen Zhan, since Liu Shuxing's voice sounded, it was like a basin of cold water poured from head to foot.

Chill in the heart.

also came to his senses in an instant.

No, it won't be the Moonshadow.

Moon Shadow would never enter the palace and not come to him in the first place, and would not contact Bo Yin.

Even when Moon Shadow returns, the first thing to do is to go to the Dark Guard to hand in the mission. How did it appear in the palace?

So who is this person in front of you?

Why is it so similar to Moon Shadow?

Is it a coincidence or a conspiracy?

Who is it? Designed this bureau?

What do they want?

Where did they learn about Moon Shadow?

Is Moon Shadow in their hands now?

Did Liu Shuxing ever know the truth?

What is their reaction?

Who will they be?

Shen Zhan's eyes gradually cleared up, and sank even more.

But the curvature of the corners of the mouth is getting bigger and bigger, making a look of uncontrollable love.
