After the dismissal of the concubines, the harem suddenly became much empty.

Lack of snow and drunken bamboo also voluntarily left the palace, they are old, if they don't go out of the palace, they will stay in the palace to be the aunt or even grandma.

In the siege of the imperial city, the lack of snow and drunken bamboo protected the queen with their bodies, making her retreat, which was naturally a meritorious service. This time out of the palace, Song Mier discussed with Shen Zhan, and each rewarded them with a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing and a hundred taels of silver, and they also fulfilled the love of master and servant.

Lack of snow's family has long passed away, and she has no intention of starting a family for the time being, she has a firm heart, she has been around Song Mier for many years, and she has also set a lot of long-term sights.

Zuizhu still has parents and brothers in his family, and he is fortunate to be a kind family. Hearing that the queen mother rewarded the drunken bamboo Zhuangzi and silver coins, the elder brother and sister-in-law supported the elderly father and mother, so they trembled slightly outside the imperial city and kowtowed several times. When Zuizhu left the palace and Zhuangzi came down, the brother and sister-in-law were also afraid of taking the name of their sister Zhuangzi, so they avoided suspicion and did not want to live with their sister, and thought that their old parents must be willing to be close to their little daughter for a long time, so they secretly sold the land in their hometown. The peasant families couldn't pay attention to the ancestral house and ancestral field, and they paid for it themselves, and bought a few acres of thin fields on the edge of the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and built a small courtyard, which lived next to the sister's Zhuangzi, which was also convenient to take care of.

Still drunk bamboo changed tricks to persuade him, and his brother and sister-in-law moved into Zhuangzi together, honest and sincere, still going out early and returning late every day to cultivate those few acres of thin fields, and asked, saving a dowry for his sister-in-law.

Zuizhu was originally engaged to get married in his hometown, but when there was a flood in his hometown, Zuizhu's family had no other way, so Zuizhu was sent to the palace. The engaged family, when they heard that if they were drunk and went out of the palace, they would have to wait until they were twenty-two years old, and they didn't know if they could get out of the palace, so they would even get out of the marriage. Now I heard that there is a Zhuangzi in Beijing, and I regret not being at the beginning, but now where is the drunken bamboo that ordinary people can afford.

Like the lack of snow, Zuizhu is now well-known in the middle and upper circles of central Beijing. was able to leave the palace in advance, intact, followed the queen, and received a special reward from the queen, and was once too thick and a powerful person around His Majesty. These labels, any one of them is taken out, and the powerful people are rushing to be nurturing grandmothers. What's more, Drunken Bamboo and Lack of Snow are not too old, there are solid people who want to climb the line in the palace, or those who have the heart to continue the strings, or they are not considered nobles of the clan, and those who have emerged by their own hard work have also shown favor to Drunken Bamboo and Lack of Snow. This marriage event is not to worry.

After sending drunken bamboo and lack of snow, Song Mier's side was empty in an instant. The emperor's eldest son is only a little more than a year old, and there are indispensable people in Xuande Palace, but Song Mier has the heart to release the remaining Yulan, Zhu Lu and Qinghe from the palace.

Yu Lan She is not worried, Bo Yin beside Shen Zhan has already come to ask for it many times, if it weren't for Yu Lan's determination to stay and take care of the emperor's eldest son, Song Mier would have "sent" her out of the palace a long time ago. Shen Zhan arranged for Bo Yin to change from darkness to light, from a secret guard leader to a royal front walking with a knife.

There are not many secret guards who can get married, and when they become secret guards, most of them have no relatives, no reason, no desires, and no desires, and life and death are in the dark. can come out with a fresh Boyin, and no one in the dark guard is not happy.

Walking with a knife in front of the emperor, it sounds like he is unknown, but he can still carry a knife in front of the emperor, and it is not a small role. can get the trust of His Majesty, he is a small role without official and no position, and he is also the object of everyone's stuttering. What's more, this royal front with a knife walking, or the four products of the Eight Classics, although there is no real power, but it is different from the official positions such as Honglu Temple, not to mention the glory of always accompanying His Majesty and protecting the safety of the emperor and queen, if His Majesty is personally recruiting, the most common thing to walk with a knife in front of the emperor is also a general who leads the troops, so why talk about him?

Yu Lan is inside, and she is not panicked, but Bo Yin is determined to identify her. Most of the secret guards admit death, just like following their masters, and it is a matter of a lifetime. What's more, there is His Majesty setting an example above his head, and the Queen Mother is smiling and watching from the side.

However, Zhu Lu and Qinghe made Song Mier worried.

didn't wait for Song Mier to break his head, he came up with a few talents among the side branches of the Song family or among the young generals in Beijing to be a matchmaker for Zhu Lu and Qinghe, but the matchmaker came to the door in person.

It was none other than Shen Cang, the British king who had a close relationship with Shen Zhan and Song Mier.

He protected the media for himself, but what he sought was Zhu Lu.

Speaking of this Shen Cang, it is also a wonderful flower among the children of the clan.

I don't know if I have been with Shen Zhan for a long time, and I am also like-minded, but the clans next to me have no chickens and dogs, and they have never been to the Qinglou of the wine shop. At the age of twenty-three or four, there is not even a connecting room in the house, and there is a secret discussion in the capital, it is not that this king is a broken sleeve.

It's just that he is clean and self-conscious, and he is not willing to give in.

That time, at that foreign pilgrimage, when the palace banquet was opened. Zhu Lu responded to the provocation of the princess of Zhongshan Kingdom, frank and generous, frank and pure, so that Shen Cang was mistaken for life when he saw it.

At that time, the injury on Zhu Lu's face was not healed, but Shen Cang didn't mind. What he likes is Zhu Lu.

can be Zhu Lu's identity, even if the queen and His Majesty promote her again, it is impossible to marry into the British palace as a princess. If he wanted to marry Zhu Lu, Shen Cang would first marry the main concubine, and ask Zhu Lu to be carried into the mansion as a side concubine, which could be regarded as a promotion of Zhu Lu.

Where is Shen Cang?

Don't say that Shen Cang refuses, even if Zhu Lu knows, she won't agree.

The British duke and lady are still alive, and Shen Cang is their only child, isn't it a big joke to marry a palace maid as a concubine?

But Shen Cang was iron-hearted, and he fought with the British couple like this for more than a year, and the British couple relented.

What else should I do? Watching your child become a monk?

The British duchess couldn't eat or sleep at home, and everyone was haggard.

After the family settled down, Shen Cang came to ask for it with confidence.

thought it was a sure thing, but Zhu Lu's sentence "I don't know, I don't want to marry" made Shen Cang like a bolt from the blue.

was so shocked that the British duchess couldn't help but hand over the sign to the palace, to see who this "demon" little palace maid was.

His son is the King of England, the emperor's younger brother, and he is the princess of England when he marries in. Do you want to get away with it or do you want to be pretentious?

When Song Mier learned that the British duchess was coming, he didn't break it, nor did he inform Zhu Lu, but only came as he did on weekdays.

But I don't want to, about the same heart of mother and son, this British duchess looked at Zhu Lu, and looked at it and looked at it.

The British duchess is a young and famous beauty in the capital, and her aesthetic vision is naturally high, and she also loves beauty very much. This is also a big reason why Shen Cang's many ladies are waiting to be married, and they are not sought: British duchesses feel that their looks are not very beautiful and they can't look at them.

According to the British Duchess, each other is born from the heart, and the face of this good-hearted person is also pleasing to the eye and close to the heart.

When she looked at Zhu Lu for the first time, she felt that she was very colorful, even if she was standing beside the queen, she was not completely covered up.

I also saw that her demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, and she was quite heroic in her actions, calm and moderate, and she thought that this was the person her son liked, and she was even more happy. The British Duke has also been a horse for half her life, she is also a cheerful person, if it is the delicate and weak little daughter, she may not like it.

I asked around again about Zhu Luqi's people. When he learned that she had been disfigured by protecting the palace concubine during the southern tour, she did not feel inferior because of this; and shined at the palace banquet and was quick-witted, so that his son could never forget.

People say that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and becomes more and more happy, and the mother-in-law looks at her daughter-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.

She compares horizontally and vertically, thinking about it, this girl in Beijing who is suitable for her son, there is no one who makes her feel closer to her own mind.

But people don't agree at all. Originally, I thought that I was deliberately taking Qiao, but now I feel that he is a caring person who does not squint for wealth and glory. The English duchess liked it even more.

She didn't twist, but helped her son pursue Zhu Lu.

When Zhu Lu was married, Mrs. Song made the decision and came forward to recognize Zhu Lu as a righteous daughter, not to make a face for the British Duke and the British King, but not to be looked down upon by Zhu Lu when he got along with the wife of the family in the future. The identity of the righteous daughter of the Song Kingdom and the queen's sister, coupled with the queen's unique status in His Majesty's heart, is envious, and others dare not say anything more in person.

Inevitably favoring one over the other, Mrs. Song simply thought about asking Yu Lan and Qinghe to recognize the righteous daughter together, but Yu Lan didn't care, and said that things are scarce and expensive, so she politely refused the kindness. Qinghe didn't even have any plans to leave the palace.

Zhu Lu Yulan got married on the same day, and on the second day, Qinghe secretly combed himself, and he actually wanted to be by Song Mier's side for the rest of his life.

Song Mier was willing, originally thought that Qinghe was afraid that there would be no one around her to take care of her, so if she was worried, she might as well take the little palace maid out of the palace for a few years. If Song Mier is unwilling to ask her to serve, she will invite herself to the outer hall, even if it is Lai, she will also rely on Song Mier's side.

Where did Song Mier know Qinghe's thoughts?

And some of the things in my heart, I am afraid that they will be swallowed silently for the rest of their lives, and they will be silent.

After Zhu Lu Yulan got married, the Xuande Palace was even quieter. Qinghe seems to have returned to the big palace maid who was most trusted and close to Song Mier in the past, advancing and retreating in moderation, words and deeds appropriately, and becoming a model for the palace people.

After Qinghe combed himself, he never married, served the queen and became the queen mother, took care of the emperor's eldest son and became the emperor, and was the savior twice in times of crisis, and was a legendary figure who was revered and admired by the palace people.

Everyone said that she kept her heart, and some said that she had the ability and ambition to become an indispensable person around the queen and even the queen mother.

What exactly she was guarding was, perhaps, in the dead of night, known only to herself.

If you ask her if she regrets it.

Perhaps, I saw her smile slightly.
