Chapter 7: Face Saint

A foggy early morning doesn't mean it's a hazy day. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the sky was bright, Shen Qiwu was called up to prepare some matters for entering the palace.

Shen Qiwu could only sit there and let Huan'er fiddle with her hair.

If you want to enter the palace, you must be cautious in everything you say and do, whether you dress or say or behave, you must conform to the rules of the palace, and you can't commit taboos.

Otherwise, it will provoke the saint to dislike it, and the Shen Mansion will be struggling in the future.

Huan'er didn't dare to relax in any way, and she would check it repeatedly after combing to make sure that Shen Qiwu's makeup and demeanor would not be rude.

Shen Qiwu looked at the bronze mirror and didn't dare to admit that he was the person in the mirror. Huan'er's makeup skills are very good, and if you put it in the 21st century, you can be a technician.

Today, because she is entering the palace to face the saint, Huan'er didn't dare to paint too much makeup, but only put on some light makeup.

If it was Shen Qiwu before, he would definitely be incompatible with this makeup. Today's Shen Qiwu is quite cold, and with this beautiful light makeup, it looks particularly compatible.

Shen Fuguo stopped at the gate of the mansion for a long time.

Shen Qiwu appeared slowly.

She was wearing a snow-white palace shirt, a thin gauze scarf, and a purple wood hairpin on her head, like a cold fairy in the Moon Palace.

Shen Fuguo nodded with satisfaction.

"Get in the car." Shen Fuguo was the first to get into the carriage.

This carriage is spacious and bright, with a built-in table collapsed, a silver silk jade quilt was placed on the collapse, and a teapot and teacup were placed on the table.

There were only Shen Fuguo and Shen Qiwu's father and daughter in the car.

Entering the palace to face the saint, Huan'er naturally couldn't accompany her, so in order to calm her mood, Shen Qiwu specially brought a book.

"After entering the palace, I can't remind you all the time, you can act at your own discretion." Shen Fuguo played with the teacup and mentioned his daughter loudly.

Shen Qiwu has been willful since she was a child, and although her temperament is a little quiet now, Shen Fuguo is still worried that she will be self-willed in front of the saint.

Shen Qiwu held the scroll in his hand and nodded silently.

The carriage was quiet again.

Shen Fuguo closed his eyes and recuperated.

Shen Qiwu lifted the curtain and looked outside.

The carriage crept forward, through the streets and alleys, getting deeper and deeper, and the guard gradually became tighter, and in a short time, it had reached the main gate of the palace.

The high walls of the city stood strong, the swords and guns of the Praetorian Guards were bright, and the precautions were very severe. Shen Qiwu held the scroll, his fingers getting harder and harder.

The contemplative chamber had reached the edge of the forbidden wall, the carriage stopped, and the father and daughter could only enter on foot. The two teams of neatly dressed officers and soldiers, with tiger eyes swept straight away, standing majestically on both sides, and their momentum was very majestic.

The father and daughter came to the guard, and the general in armor who took the lead hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Lord Shen." ”

Shen Fuguo waved his hand, "You have to work, I am ordered by the emperor to take the little girl into the palace to face the saint." ”

The guards did not dare to interrogate, and bowed down to send the two over. The father and daughter walked on foot, crossed the moat, passed through layers of guards, passed through the Duanmen and Noon Gate, crossed the Jinyu Bridge, and went straight to the Queen Mother's bedroom. The red wall and yellow tile on the side of the road, the carved beams of the painting, the golden splendor, the palace tower, the height is staggered, the magnificence is magnificent. The gold bricks on the ground are paved, the white jade carved walls on both sides, and the jade carved railings are gorgeous.

The Empress Dowager's Cining Palace is very simple, less splendid, and more peaceful and serene. After all, the Queen Mother has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and she will not care about those flashiness.

"Lord Shen, I'll go in first and pass it on." A white-faced and beardless chamberlain greeted him, his expression was humble, and he was very respectful to Shen Fuguo.

Shen Fuguo bowed slightly.

After the chamberlain went in and passed the news, a palace maid appeared and led Shen Fuguo and Shen Qiwu in.

Entering the Cining Palace, Shen Qiwu kept his head down and didn't dare to look.

"Weichen Shen Fuguo, see Your Majesty, see Queen Mother." Shen Fuguo knelt down and saluted loudly.

The heat in the stove was blowing, and Shen Qiwu was a little hot.

"Shen Qiwu, the daughter of the people, participate in Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother." Although Shen Qiwu was nervous, he did not forget to be polite, and knelt down with Shen Fuguo.

"Get up, give Shen Qing and the others a seat." The majestic voice sounded in Shen Qiwu's ears, Shen Qiwu held the scroll, and she didn't look up even if the emperor gave her a seat.

"Qiwu, your child hasn't come to the palace to say goodbye to the mourning family for many days, which really makes the mourning family think about you, this girl."

Shen Qiwu raised his head and smiled shyly.

The Queen Mother has a peaceful temperament, Shen Qiwu jumps out, and many people don't understand why Shen Qiwu can be favored in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother is a kind old man, wearing a simple robe, snow-white temples, and a little heavy forehead tattoos.

The Queen Mother leaned on the couch and looked at her with a smile, and there was a tall middle-aged man standing beside her, he was naturally the current emperor, Zhao Qi, the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty who was vast and rich all over the world.

He wears civilian clothes and is not angry and arrogant. Although the appearance is a little ordinary, the momentum is extraordinary, and although he stands there silently, he also has the majesty of the world.

Shen Qiwu didn't dare to look more, so he was busy lowering his head again.

The Queen Mother smiled and looked at her with interest, "You kid, where did you go to Pi Jin on weekdays?" ”

Shen Qiwu scolded for a while, on weekdays, it was in front of your old man, isn't this the Son of Heaven still standing here, how dare I be presumptuous?

Shen Fuguo sat aside.

His face was calm, like a pool of clear water.

Because he knew in his heart that no matter what happened, Shen Qiwu would become the crown princess.

Because His Majesty needs him, Da Zhou also needs the Shen family.

Today's Great Zhou seems to be prosperous and stable, but the national strength is not as good as before, and the continuous wars with foreign countries have consumed too much people's financial resources, and the treasury is empty and it is difficult to even collect the money for disaster relief.

On the border far from the capital, there were even rebellions from time to time. For this reason, the emperor is already busy, the Shen family is a wealthy family, and it has been in Guanzhong for a hundred years, and the background is extraordinary.

His Majesty is also an ambitious emperor, and he naturally will not choose the wrong person.

Zhao Qi's face was expressionless, and he looked at Shen Qiwu carefully. Although I also heard that the Queen Mother doted on this courtier very much, how could he be distracted by these trivial things when he was burdened with state affairs.

Now that the prince wants to marry this woman, Zhao Qi naturally has to take good care of his son. He saw Shen Qiwu holding a scroll in his hand, so he asked softly, "You, you seem to be very literate?" ”

When Shen Fuguo heard this, he moved the corners of his eyes slightly, and looked sideways at Shen Qiwu.

Shen Qiwu shook his head, and the hand holding the scroll loosened, "The folk girl doesn't have much literary talent, she just likes to read." ”

Zhao Qi smiled faintly when he heard this.

He probed slightly and whispered a few words in the Queen Mother's ear.

I don't know what Zhao Qi said, the Queen Mother's eyes became brighter and brighter, and her gaze at Shen Qiwu became extremely gratified.

Shen Qiwu was a little numb when he looked at it.

Shen Fuguo is still very calm.

The Queen Mother held the teacup and smiled.

Zhao Qi stroked his beard, and suddenly thought of a good idea, maybe this can also help the son who is not successful.

The prince is stubborn and dissolute. The entire Great Zhou knew that if Sheji was handed over to the prince like this, it would inevitably cause chaos.

However, if there is such a well-written woman by his side, it can also play a stimulating role and make the prince mature earlier.

"You have to be humble, the news of you in the drunken incense fairy last night has spread all over Kyoto. You have a good literary talent and love to read. I think it's good. ”

Shen Qiwu suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Shen Fuguo seemed to have guessed the emperor's thoughts, and his brows furrowed.

"Now Han Dong is teaching the prince to read in the palace, he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties and a literary master, you can go with him tomorrow." Zhao Qi's afterglow swept Shen Fuguo, and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he muttered a little in his heart.

Shen Qiwu never expected it.

Zhao Qi will have such an arrangement.

She suddenly regretted that she had been drunk last night.

Now she is actually the prince's classmate?
