Why start?

After hearing this, Shen Shuzhao was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay...... Since the princess thinks so, what else can the courtier say? ”

She gathered the emanation left by the cloud temples in her ears, smiled lightly and took a few steps back, kept a distance from Wei Yang, and said, "The princess should please go back, the courtiers still have to practice the piano." ”

Wei Yang stepped forward and frowned: "You don't treat you coldly." ”

Shen Shuzhao took another step back and didn't look over.

"Lone just doesn't want to hurt you." Wei Yang looked at her and said gloomily.

"Hurt me?" Shen Shuzhao wondered.

The person on the other side looked at her helplessly, and then slowly approached her, shortening the gap between the two step by step, Shen Shuzhao stared at her beautiful face without powder and the color was like the morning glow reflecting the snow, and suddenly couldn't bear to be so angry just now, was he too eager? Her heart was shaking repeatedly. Wei Yang raised his cold hand at this time, and gently stroked his index finger along the side of her face from top to bottom, and said in a solemn tone: "Shen Shuzhao, you still have a long way to go, even if Lone is the eldest princess who can be glorified for a lifetime, I can't give you any name, you and Lone are together, you will have nothing." ”

Fingers slid to Shen Shuzhao's lips, and Wei Yang's fingertips lingered on her ruddy fragrance for a long time, and finally he was reluctant to put down his hand and said, "Shuzhao, I can't hurt you." ”

Every word Wei Yang said was very light, but Shen Shuzhao felt extremely heavy. Now at this moment, she is no longer a noble eldest princess, and she is no longer a humble concubine, they are not an ordinary pair of cousins, just a pair of women who want to get close but dare not get close. In this world, the two of them only have each other in front of each other, so Wei Yang thinks about the long future, so slowly and cautiously.

Shen Shuzhao smiled at her calmly and said: "The courtiers have never cared about any ethical and moral matters, this world is dirty, there are so many black and white things, why are two women not allowed to be together?" For the courtiers, whether they stay in the harem or return to the Shen Mansion, they are all the same boring and uncomfortable life, why doesn't Her Royal Highness the eldest princess let the courtiers choose what they really want to stay? ”

Wei Yang in front of him was silent for a while.

"When the courtiers were with you, they were never afraid of anything, and they didn't care what the world thought! Your Highness, just tell your heart to the courtiers," Shen Shuzhao greeted her, the expectation in her eyes was like a silver moonlight, and she whispered, "Say those words...... The courtiers belong to you. ”

Wei Yang sighed: "You have to think about it, this is a very important decision." ”

Shen Shuzhao was a little sad that she didn't reply, but still said: "The courtier has never regretted it. ”

"Alas, Lone gives you time to think clearly," Wei Yang said, "and you must remember to think clearly." ”

Shen Shuzhao nodded, and then Wei Yang sat in the room for a while, they sat on the edge of the bed next to each other, and in the cold and heavy rain atmosphere, the two gradually began to tell each other's affairs. Not only for Shen Shuzhao, but also for Wei Yang, there are too many things they still need to do in the harem.

The intrigues here are really physically and mentally exhausting.

She is the niece of the Queen Mother, she is the eldest princess with countless secrets, in this harem, their identities make them have to fall into the pursuit of power, and the status of cousins also brings them closer to each other.

Saying that she was tired, Wei Yang occasionally leaned on her shoulder, and Shen Shuzhao listened to the sound of rain outside the window, and suddenly had the illusion that she was not trapped in the best years and buried her life in this previous life.

"Shuzhao, I'm so tired of being alone."

"So are the courtiers."

She whispered back as she put her hand on the back of Wei Yang's hand to soothe her.

Wei Yang leaned on her body for a while, and only after the rain gradually subsided did he get up carefully. She said tiredly that she still had something to do, and Shen Shuzhao sent her to the door of Qinglian Pavilion without asking too much. The rain is no longer falling, and the scenery outside in the dim light has a special tenderness.

Before leaving, Wei Yang turned his head and suddenly said, "I remember that you always said that you didn't want to be a palace concubine. ”

This is exactly the same tone as when Shen Shuzhao asked about Wei Yang.

Shen Shuzhao was stunned: "Yes." ”

"Okay." Wei Yang didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Shen Shuzhao returned to the house, she looked at the desolate piano she had just played, the heavy rain had passed, and she regretted that she would not stay for a long time, and it was the most important thing to live in the moment after the sadness of the situation, so she said to the palace maid outside the door: "Take the piano." ”

Watching the palace maid take the piano and walk out of the door, she looked at a certain room in the east wing opposite, bit her lower lip thoughtfully, and finally made up her mind in some kind of determination.

Shen Zhuangzhao must be a concubine.

She can't enter the palace to be the second Li Chong!

Shen Shuzhao immediately walked out of the door and said to the palace people: "Huizhuang, where is Wang Xian?" You call him. ”

"Second Miss Hui, he was called by the nobles, and he hasn't come back yet."

As soon as she heard this, she understood a little in her heart. Wang Xian is going to be like her, and he has begun to rise step by step.

She said, "When you come back, you ask him to come to me." ”

Lu Rong hurriedly said: "The slave obeys." It's just that what's the matter with the second lady now? Slaves can also help. ”

She looked at Shen Zhuangzhao's door quietly and said, "No need. ”

Then Shen Shuzhao returned to the room and waited for half an hour, only outside the door did there be the sound of footsteps hurriedly stepping on the bluestone water, Shen Shuzhao calmly took a sip of tea, and then Wang Xian's figure bypassed the jade curtain and soon came to Shen Shuzhao.

"Wang Xian is late, I hope that the second lady will forgive her sins!" He knelt down.

is so sincerely afraid, but because he already knows that Shen Shuzhao is a powerful person valued by the Queen Mother, presumably Gao Dezhong intentionally or unintentionally revealed a lot of things she did for the Queen Mother, Shen Shuzhao glanced at him lightly: "Get up." ”

After the king had risen, she said, "Congratulations on your appreciation." ”

After hearing this, Wang Xian's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Where can the slave maid enter the high eyes of the nobles, the second lady is really too elevated to the slave maid." ”

"You don't have to be so modest," Shen Shuzhao said, "Zhonggui is an old man in the palace who has been with the Queen Mother for decades, and you can learn a lot from being promoted by him." ”

Wang Xian did not answer. Shen Shuzhao looked at him, thinking that Gao Dezhong was worthy of being the head of the eunuchs, and when he saw who had potential, he began to want to cultivate, Wang Xian was a young eunuch, even if he was her person now, but what Gao Dezhong said he wanted to do, he would still listen to him first.

However, Shen Shuzhao couldn't make wedding dresses for others, she said: "I still have some things to tell you to do here, it turns out that all of these can be handed over to the nobles to arrange people to do, but I think you have done a good job in Moxuan Pavilion, so I plan to hand it over to you." ”

Wang Xian's face was delighted: "Second Miss, although she orders." "He needs a lot of things to prove his ability at this time.

Shen Shuzhao looked at the pen and ink on the table, and was silent for a while: "How much silver did you give to Yan Hanshan last time?" ”

Thinking of the lion of the cold mountain, Wang Xian timidly replied: "Three boxes of silver and two boxes of gold." ”

"Not enough." Shen Shuzhao shook his head, "The next time you visit, you will give this great poet some more silver." ”

Wang Xian's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Second Miss, isn't this enough?" ”

She smiled and said, "But this time...... It's going to be given to him after he is penniless. ”

Wang Xian thought about Shen Shuzhao's words, and when he thought of the corner of the screen behind Yan Hanshan, he suddenly realized that the second lady was going to ......

Shen Shuzhao picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and said, "I will write a letter of worship, you give it to Gao Dezhong, and ask him to send it to Zhen Shangze's mansion tomorrow." ”

This time it was not for her when she met the Queen Mother in person, but for Wang Xian to go, just to let Wang Xian know clearly that she was his master now, and Gao Dezhong would also know the weight of this person's work on his side.

After she finished writing, Wang Xian bent down to accept it, he took the letter and read it carefully, and then asked, "Zhen Shangze?" There are very few big people surnamed Zhen in the capital, could this be the famous shopkeeper Zhen Fushang? ”

Shen Shuzhao said: "It's this person." Moreover, in a short period of time, he has already expanded his business from a silver building that only sells jade, and has a time-honored tea house and rouge shop, and he has also bought the largest gambling Changhuanfang in the capital, and he is a person with a lot of money that cannot be underestimated. ”

Hearing the name of Changhuanfang, Wang Xian's heart jumped: "Second Miss, so do you want him to go there?" ”

"Suddenly there is such a windfall of good fortune that a person who is addicted to gambling will not want to try his luck there. As for success or failure, sometimes it is not just a person's luck, but also a lot. Then Shen Shuzhao turned her pen, and a few lines of words were completed, and she continued: "The money given to Yan Hanshan should be given to Zhen Fushang as the queen mother." ”

Wang Xian didn't dare to say more after hearing this, and after holding the letter in his arms, he honestly withdrew. Shen Shuzhao put down the pen and called to the palace maid outside the door: "Huizhuang, dress up for me again, I want to see the Queen Mother." ”

Only the Queen Mother knows that she can make the most thoughtful plan for her plan.

She looked at herself in the mirror in the boudoir, her moon eyebrows and starry eyes, her expression was radiant, and she swept away the deep sorrow and decadence before.

The power struggle in the harem, since she can't escape, it is better to fight for it, she prefers to use it to firmly tie the red line between her and Wei Yang.

These dirty things, she hopes Wei Yang never has to know.

At this time, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the dark clouds were cleared.

On the other side, in the Xuande Pavilion in the Long Live Palace, at the end of the elm carved wall, two little eunuchs waited at the door with their heads down, not daring to take a breath. Behind the screen in their distant room was the place where the emperor made a recital, and at this time, the emperor was receiving Chen Shi, the central general who had just returned to the capital, and was discussing secret matters with him.

A middle-aged man with high cheekbones and a mean face, dressed in a eunuch uniform, stood proudly in front of the two little eunuchs with his head held high.

"You two, you two," he stretched out his finger and pointed, "Pay attention next time, General Chen still dares to stop when he comes, what if you offend the general?" ”

One of the little eunuchs said aggrievedly: "But His Majesty ordered that every Qiē audience should be postponed for an hour, and it should not be disturbed." ”

The man sneered: "Confused things! His Majesty didn't say this kind of thing to dismiss ordinary concubines and officials, who was General Chen? That's the great hero of the Wei Dynasty stationed on the frontier! You are so unreasonable, you have forgotten how I teach you on a daily basis? ”

The two men were disciplined to speak out, and the man looked at them condescendingly with his hands behind his back, and then raised his chin again with contempt. Just because he is the emperor's close attendant Xiao Huangmen, who is in charge of harem affairs, except for the personal eunuchs of the emperor and the queen mother, this is his biggest.

And I heard that he is also a distant relative of Concubine Xi.

"General Chen and General Xiao are amazing now, and the addition of officials to the knighthood is just around the corner, you can take care of the emperor!" He whispered.

At this time, there was a sound of gentle footsteps from the lobby, the jade hairpin collided, and the tail skirt dragged to the ground, which was obviously the voice of the harem woman. Zhang Wei was only a concubine who wanted to invite pets, he turned around and was about to say that when the emperor was not allowed to see General Chen, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw the eldest princess Wei Yang staring at him indifferently.

"Meet the eldest princess Kunyi." The three of them knelt down in unison.

Wei Yang said: "Get up and report to His Majesty." ”

Zhang Wei got up and arched his hand and said, "Back to the eldest princess, Your Majesty is discussing important matters with General Chen in the cabinet at this time, I'm afraid the princess will have to wait for a while." ”

Wei Yang sighed and said, "It's already here, it seems that it's too late, you go and report it." ”

After she said this, Zhang Wei felt extremely embarrassed, how could this princess who had just returned from the National Temple be so unreasonable? The emperor and General Chen are talking about national affairs, why do they want to break in?

He smiled and said, "Princess, look at this...... His Majesty was listening to the general playing the affairs of the Northern Frontier, and they ......"

Wei Yang narrowed his eyes slightly: "You stop me?" ”

Zhang Wei was trembling and said, "Princess, the old slave has no such intention, it's just that the emperor previously instructed to postpone the meeting, and the old slave just acted according to the rules." ”

"Zhongguiren," Wei Yang said, "You have only just become the Yellow Gate in the past two years, and you don't know many things, the emperor can receive this princess whenever he wants." ”

"Ah......" He was dumbfounded, in fact, he really didn't know that he had just passed through the throne of Concubine Guòxi.

"Lone is here to return things for the emperor." Wei Yang put one hand behind his back, but took out two tokens with the other, both of which were in the shape of a golden tiger, shining brightly, and it was vaguely visible that there were sons and mothers who could be combined.

When Zhang Wei saw this token, he was so stunned that he couldn't say anything.

Wei Yang said expressionlessly: "Return the tiger talisman." ”

The door of the house was quickly opened, and the emperor was talking to General Chen, when he heard a rush of footsteps, and Zhang Wei, the eunuch of the Yellow Gate, crawled in with a belt, and then respectfully buried his head deep and said: "Your Majesty, General, the eldest princess asks to see." ”
