Shen Shuzhao glanced at the clothes, and then looked at the beauty in front of her who had slipped off her shirt, her head was blank, and she couldn't think of anything.

Could it be that Wei Yang wants to let himself change into this clothes in front of her?

Wei Yang on the other side saw that she was still indifferent, frowned slightly, and said, "Cousin, why are you so slow?" ”

Shen Shuzhao suddenly felt helpless, so she said, "Princess...... It turns out that you brought your courtiers here just to change your clothes. ”

Hearing her say this, Wei Yang replied: "Zuo is just to save some time, if you are in Qinglian Pavilion, you still have to be sent over by the palace people, after a delay, how do you know that the Zhen family is still in his mansion?" ”

Shen Shuzhao thought about it, Wei Yang was indeed right, she had to pick up her clothes with a red face, and tried her best not to look at the person opposite. Wei Yang's dress fell off to the ground, revealing the white jade arms and slender legs, she couldn't help but look at it, but the jade muscles as white as snow always went against her, causing her to frequently lose her attention, and Wei Yangming's dangling long legs were always walking back and forth in front of her.

The barefoot Wei Yang was dressed in an orderly manner, but Shen Shuzhao's side had just begun, if the relationship between the women was intimate, there was nothing wrong with undressing in person, but Shen Shuzhao turned her back and didn't look at it anymore, because she knew that if she looked at it more, she would not be able to take her eyes off.

Wrapped around the white silk wrapped in her chest, she didn't dare to turn around until she was changed, but she didn't know that Wei Yang had already changed it and was waiting for her quietly.

She saw Wei Yang in front of her in a white shirt, covered with a blue blue shirt, with a slender figure, quite an elegant gentleman's attitude, but still scattered with green silk, the woman's lazy posture was fully displayed, if this was a woman's blue and white clothes, it must be more beautiful on her.

Wei Yang looked at her, snorted, and said, "You don't lose the demeanor of an ordinary noble disciple when you wear this body." ”

was praised by Wei Yang's first student, Shen Shuzhao smiled and replied: "The princess praised it falsely, the princess's dress is enough to make everyone's ladies fall in love with it, and the courtiers are ashamed of themselves." ”

The man just smiled faintly and said, "So is there a cousin among them?" ”

Shen Shuzhao was shy after hearing this, and then replied: "The princess should not joke with the courtiers anymore, otherwise the courtiers will not dare to praise the princess in the future." ”

Wei Yang didn't answer, but smiled faintly, she was playing with the jasper bamboo hairpin in her left hand, at this time the palace maids appeared outside the door to report, Wei Yang let them in, and these palace maids all rushed in, and then immediately began to comb the man's ordinary hairstyle for Shen Shuzhao and Wei Yang.

After dressing up like this, Wei Yang and Shen Shuzhao walked out together, Gao Dezhong had been waiting outside for a long time, got into Wei Yang's car, and they walked towards the outside of the palace.

Because the level of the palace was obvious, the eldest princess's eight phoenix chariots were particularly conspicuous compared to the chariots of ordinary concubines, so the guards directly let Shen Shuzhao and them over, and they also went straight to Zhen Fushang's mansion.

After arriving at the place, Gao De advised her that her full name was Zhen Shangze, and then the group walked up the long steps, Shen Shuzhao knew that although there were only four women in the palace who were now counted in Weiyang, but the secret guards who followed them not far away were probably no less than hundreds.

After the doorman answered the door, Shen Shuzhao handed the child a name sticker and said, "I am Shen Gongzi and I want to meet your master." ”

The child asked them to wait outside, and went into the house with the name sticker, and after a while, when he returned, there was a new man beside him, who looked about the same age as Gao Dezhong, and looked as old as him between his eyebrows and eyes.

The man opened the door and said, "My master is waiting for you in the house, please come in." ”

This Zhen Shangze agreed unexpectedly and boldly, which made Shen Shuzhao think that he would have to spend a lot more words to meet this big businessman who had close contacts with upper-class officials.

Walking inside, surrounded by green bamboo, flocks of birds, and the bamboo leaves on the water surface flowing in the clear stream, this place is really a good place to relax. Wei Yang walked beside Shen Shuzhao, bypassing the long corridor surrounded by green bamboos on both sides, and finally came to the main entrance. The man lifted the curtain of precious jewels and let them pass respectfully.

Looking at this qiē, Shen Shuzhao couldn't help but think to herself, even the palace has not yet achieved such extravagance, it seems that this Zhen businessman is indeed extremely rich.

She finally saw this Zhen Shangze in the house, this man who was only in his early thirties, most of his hair was gray, and his figure was a little bloated and rich, and it was not difficult for him to be the richest man in Luoyang City.

And behind a row of embroidered bamboo verdant screens on his right, there was a graceful and moving sound of the piano, just a trill and a tail note, the aftermath was lingering, and it refused to disperse for a long time, Shen Shuzhao had seen so many banquets in her previous life, and she knew that behind this screen must be a person who was not inferior to the first musician of the palace.

The person who led them over said, "Master, Shen Gongzi, Li Gongzi and Gao Gongzi have arrived. ”

Zhen Shangze was playing with white pebbles in his hand before, listening to the music quietly with his eyes closed, when he heard this, he opened his eyes, looked at the three strange men in front of him, and said: "In Xia Zhen, I couldn't meet you in person because I was recuperating at home, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Shen Shuzhao said: "Your Excellency is the rumored Mr. Zhen, who has admired his name for a long time, and took the liberty to disturb him today, only to find out that Mr. Zhen was recuperating from his illness, and I hope Mr. Zhen will not blame him." ”

Zhen Shangze said: "Since they are all here, let's listen to this song together." ”

After speaking, a few subordinates stepped forward to put on the rosewood carved chairs and stools for them, Wei Yang sat without saying a word, Gao Dezhong did not speak, Shen Shuzhao knew that Gao Dezhong was giving himself a chance to express himself.

The three of them accompanied Zhen Shangze to listen to the song, and the song was like a complaint, like a complaining woman in the deep palace for a while, and like a depressed genius for a while, pouring out his dissatisfaction with officialdom in the choppy sea. In a reel plucked by the strings, a few tactful and sad stories have been told, which is endlessly evocative and thoughtful.

Shen Shuzhao felt that the person who played the piano was really good, and he still had uneasy feelings, all of them were calmed by the sound of the piano, and they were dyed with a bit of sadness. Wei Yang listened indifferently, but no longer just looked at Zhen Shangze at the top, but slightly looked sideways at the black figure inside the screen.

At the end of the song, Zhen Shangze's sad expression slowly unfolded.

"What does Miss Shen think of this song?"

He asked.

Shen Shuzhao hurriedly bowed his hand and said politely: "Mr. Zhen has good eyesight, and the people have the place to deceive, please forgive me." ”

Zhen Shangze shook his head, "Second Miss Shen can come out of the palace to visit the humble house below, which makes Zhen feel extremely honored. ”

Gao Dezhong's expression became subtle, it seems that this Zhen Shangze is indeed a person with ambitions in the political field, and he has a proper grasp of the tense in the palace. On the other side, Shen Shuzhao recalled that this Zhen Shangze had only gradually gained the right to speak in officialdom two years after she entered the palace in her previous life, and now he is just a rich businessman.

But there are really some means to understand the things in the palace.

So she asked, "How does Mr. know that the girl must be the second lady?" ”

He smiled and said, "Second Miss Shen is now a celebrity next to the Queen Mother, and she has a very good relationship with some concubines. Zhen was fortunate enough to hear it in the storytelling building, and he has always remembered it. ”

is a good Zhen Shangze, even if his tone is flat and his words are tactful, Shen Shuzhao already knows that he is showing favor to himself.

Storytelling? She didn't think that people outside the palace still had such interests. Thinking that it took her six years to make herself filial to the capital, and she had only been in the palace for half a month, she had already been mentioned by the literati, and she had to sigh that the closer she was to the center of power, the more attention she received, and she couldn't make a mistake.

"Mr. Zhen has an overreputation," she said, "and the people's daughter is just doing her best for the Queen Mother, so that useful people can really choose good trees to live in." ”

Zhen Shangze smiled but said nothing, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He was silent, but looked at Shen Shuzhao, which reminded her of one thing that the Queen Mother had taught her when she was by the Queen Mother's side in her previous life.

These are some of the experiences that the Queen Mother realized in the harem and the former court, and she always deliberately told her a few days after she entered the palace.

Shen Shuzhao then smiled and said: "Your Excellency has made such a huge fortune in the capital in the year of your arrival, the Queen Mother has long been quite concerned in the palace, I heard that Your Excellency has always wanted to enter the officialdom, and the people also think that Your Excellency is talented, intelligent, and has the world in mind, the Queen Mother is willing to give Your Excellency a chance, I wonder if you are willing to push the boat?" ”

Zhen Shangze replied: "Zhen is natural about entering the court as an official, if the Son of Heaven favors me, then naturally there will be a day, Zhen now only wants to rely on his own strength to walk in front of the saint." ”

After hearing this, Shen Shuzhao only had no choice but to think that this Zhen Shangze was also very confident in his skills, but whether he looked up to him or was like this, he still needed to wait for time to speak.

Shen Shuzhao said: "Although Your Excellency's ideas are good, the folk girl still has to say a few points for the sake of people who like to enjoy piano music with Your Excellency. ”

"Second Miss Shen, please speak."

"Your Excellency and Li Si are walking so closely, do you know what happened this afternoon?"

Zhen Shangze frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

She knew that Li Sizhi would not tell him such a big thing, so she said: "There are assassins secretly following him today, and we happened to have a conflict with them. ”

She saw Zhen Shangze faintly raise his eyebrows, secretly speculating on his every move, and she noticed that he seemed to have anticipated this qiē.

"Something like this happened, Zhen is very worried about his friend, I don't know if he is injured?"

"No, your Excellency's friend escaped first. In the past few days before he left, he often met with Your Excellency in the teahouse, and Your Excellency was the only person he had ever seen, which shows that Mr. Zhen is indeed an important person for the former Sizhi. ”

"Li Sizhi has a good temperament, and Zhen is willing to have more contact with him."

"Your Excellency, when you learned of this, you only knew that you were concerned about whether he was injured or not, and even if you answered the other questions of the people's maiden truthfully, then you didn't think about who sent him to assassinate him? Or is it ...... Did you already know that assassination was inevitable? ”

Shen Shuzhao said this, she looked at Zhen Shangze and stopped moving the white pebbles in her hand.

After a while, he continued to play with it, but said, "Second Miss Shen is sensitive and eloquent, no wonder the Queen Mother cultivates you so much." It's a pity that Zhen really has nothing to do with this matter, and if the second lady continues to ask, she can't find out what is wrong with Zhen. ”

Shen Shuzhao said: "Your Excellency, don't be angry, the people don't think you may have nothing to do with this matter." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhen Shangze said coldly.

Shen Shuzhao continued: "Regardless of whether Your Excellency has long been in mind, but just because Li Sizhi was followed, and Your Excellency recently said that he was sick and avoided others, I know that Your Excellency has a little understanding of the whole thing. Your Excellency has come into contact with the most important person in this matter, so the women of the people come to visit you, and the other party must also know about your affairs, and after entering the court to become an official, you must either be attached to one of them, or be suppressed by the two parties. After all, Your Excellency is a person who has access to all kinds of contacts and has some contact with this matter. As for the Queen Mother, she doesn't want to see your friend's life worry, but for the other side, it's completely different, they hope that Li Sizhi will have an accident, which is beneficial to them. If you just want to rely on your own talent for the next two years, you will not be favored by them, and may even harm you. Today's behavior is related to the fate of the next year or two, should you really be so rash? ”

Zhen Shangze said contemptuously: "What Miss Shen said Zhen has already considered, thank you Second Miss for your concern, Zhen is still recuperating, why don't you go back." ”

Shen Shuzhao hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, listen to the last heartfelt words of the people's daughter, if your Excellency has already chosen the other party's ship, then you will naturally disdain the words of the people's daughter; If Your Excellency is still waiting to see whose ship is bigger, then there is no doubt that the Son of Heaven's mother is naturally a good ship forever. Li Sizhi resigned and returned to his hometown, the Queen Mother was one less leader, and the high position was empty but there was no master to sit, the Queen Mother is now favored by Your Excellency, you must know that there is only one prime minister on the head of Si Zhi. At most, the most you have taken refuge in is a high-ranking official who has been promoted by the prime minister to the second grade, and relies on the queen mother...... The folk girl only has one sentence about this, don't you want to be the prime minister of a country? ”

Seeing Zhen Shangze groaning slightly, she said: "If Your Excellency relies on officials, you may only be under that person for the rest of your life; If you rely on the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is only the first person in the harem, and she has no restrictions on your official position, and even the higher you climb, the more beneficial it will be for her. You can think about it, and the words of the folk girl will end here. ”

After being silent for a moment, Zhen Shangze laughed, and he didn't know whether it was a sneer or self-deprecation: "Second Miss Shen is so smart, she must be the best choice for the imperial concubine." ”

After hearing this, Shen Shuzhao just smiled politely: "The matter of the concubine is decided by the Son of Heaven, how can the people's daughter make claims without permission?" ”

"Not necessarily, the second lady's scheming mind, the Son of Heaven must appreciate it very much." Zhen Shangze seemed to be smiling.

After Wei Yang heard this, his hand suddenly clutched his robe tightly. Shen Shuzhao felt that he only regarded himself as a woman who was dedicated to power, striving to be the minion of the emperor and the queen mother, so he replied lightly: "Marriage is in the sky, things are man-made, and everything is determined by fate." ”

Zhen Shangze smiled: "Okay, every qiē is determined by the mandate of heaven." Zhen told Miss Shen Er about something, and Miss Lao told the Queen Mother that Li Sizhi was dead - but it was troublesome. ”

One sentence made Shen Shuzhao's heart coldly startled, she looked at the man in front of her, the intention in her ink pupils was as unfathomable as deep water, such heroic eyes, if you go back to more than ten years ago, it should be a man with outstanding talent and appearance. She knew that her appearance had changed a key point, and that this man would appear in history more often than before.

And Wei Yang looked at Shen Shuzhao who was distracted, and her eyes gradually became stained with a trace of pity.

The clenched hand gradually loosened, Wei Yang lowered his head, and thought gloomily, just wait a little longer, just wait a little longer...... And she succeeded.
