Small hall Qinglian Pavilion, rockery, ginseng tree, around the lake around. Heavy flowers block the dark smoke miasma of the side palace, after the long winding path passes, if there is a cave, Shen Shuzhao's west wing room is on the other side of the lotus pond, the palace people do not know that there is a long concubine sedan chair in the flower garden in front of the courtyard passing through the pavilion corridor, and they are careless and idle, only the second lady is left in the Qinglian Pavilion, and things are much better.

A sedan chair stopped, announced loudly, the concubine Niangniang's jade feet landed, and the palace people here also woke up and quickly gathered at the door to greet the concubine's arrival. Shen Zhuangzhao looked around here, in less than a month, she became a concubine who laughed at the fall of favor in the capital from the beautiful eldest daughter who had just entered the mansion, and the humble and lowly person continued to be comfortable inside, becoming more and more powerful, not suffering from hardships, and even wanted to replace the third sister to marry Jiangfu, and was favored by the emperor, her heart immediately ignited a nameless anger, flicked her sleeves and led the crowd to visit, letting the palace people in the wing room nervous.

The third sister sat inside.

fragile, with a delicate and sick face, and her makeup is much lighter, which makes Shen Shuzhao extremely elegant and mature, and the immature girl feels that she has receded from her appearance, revealing the calm and composure in her bones, and her eyebrows are a little shrewd, perhaps, this is the image of a peerless good person who she has been disguising in the Shen Mansion, and the real appearance that emerges is introverted and has a story.

Anger swept a frown at the brow for a moment.

Shen Zhuang Zhao saw that she was motionless, and refused to get up to greet her, and she couldn't restrain herself for a while, so she angrily waved everyone away, and she coldly said sarcastically to the person who was facing her: "This palace is here to congratulate my sister - I have won a good son-in-law again." ”

Shen Shuzhao didn't react to her provocation, like a stone thrown into deep water, slowly swallowed into the stomach by ice water, silent.

This can't help but make her feel a great humiliation, because she used to be a famous lady in the capital of Yanguan, everyone thinks that in fate she should marry a good son-in-law, and then it is ordinary to carry a white head with him, and this qiē was shattered by the sudden change of face, she felt flustered and confused, she hated Shen Shuzhao's light breeze, and even began to suspect that the previous claim that not entering the palace was just an excuse for the cunning of this double-faced beauty, and it was the most despicable liar, her second sister, was eyeing the tiger, I want to take away my own qiē - starting with my husband, starting with my status, and finally ending with my own never being able to turn over!

"Shen Shuzhao, you face this palace!"

"Bang dang!"

Shen Zhuangzhao rushed up and pressed her shoulder, causing her to turn around, and at the same time kicked down the small sandalwood chair beside Shen Shuzhao, causing it to fall to the ground with a heavy sound.

"This palace is ordering you to reply."

"There's a lot of good back, you know, it's true."

"You ......" Shen Zhuangzhao's beautiful and arrogant face was a little depressed, like a defeated peacock, "You mean...... Does the emperor really like you? ”

"Hmm."

"How could he, no, you obviously haven't met a few times, could it be that when you were next to the Queen Mother for the first time, he fell in love with you? This, how is this ......"

"It doesn't matter, eldest sister, you are just an abandoned chess, the Shen family needs a newcomer like me to replace it, otherwise the next generation of the emperor's bloodline will lose the shadow of our Shen family's bloodline, you still admit it."

"You are really confident, this palace also wants to tell you something, do you think that the queen mother has not made a statement, is it really for the sake of paving the way for you to enter the palace?"

Shen Shuzhao smiled, "What the Queen Mother thinks, it's all her business." I, a weak woman, only obey the will of my elders and the Son of Heaven, how dare I complain about them? Then, she looked at Shen Zhuangzhao with an insightful gaze, "And if you come here, sooner or later someone will report it to the Queen Mother, why don't we go out in a place where there are no 'mosquitoes' and talk more about this matter?" ”

Her eyes hinted that there would be some cautious things, Shen Zhuangzhao hesitated for a while, and finally replied: "Okay, this palace will give you less than half a pillar of incense." ”

Shen Shuzhao looked at the young girl who had lost her mind to her in her previous life and now for a long time, and a subtle smile appeared. "Okay."

They went out and left Qinglian Pavilion, and Shen Shuzhao slowly walked around the ground, until she finally couldn't meet anyone on the way back from Changle Palace, she said: "When we came out, we were always followed by palace people who carried water or swept the floor. ”

"What do you mean by that? Even if you are audited, what is the matter between you and me has long been known to everyone in the palace, and they will listen to it. ”

"The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Concubine Yuan, this is a harem after all, not the Shen Mansion, do you want me to tell you what the Queen Mother will not say in your ears and eyes?"

Shen Zhuang Zhao said straightly: "Don't make a fuss, you have something to say." ”

"Niangniang should go with the little girl."

In the confusion, Shen Zhuangzhao followed her and pretended to take a walk to a flower garden, which was the place where Concubine Xi Xian wanted to invite them to go in the first place. When he reached the secluded depths, Shen Shuzhao turned around and replied: "Eldest sister, my sister will spread out the words today, and my sister feels that the Shen family is in danger now." ”

"Dangerous?" Shen Zhuangzhao asked. Although she knew what Shen Shuzhao meant, the long-term dignity of the family made her not believe that the emperor dared to really do anything to the four surnames.

"You should also understand in your heart that the Queen Mother is good at playing with power, and the new emperor has long been wary of this, you were just a concubine when you first became a concubine, but the Queen Mother wanted to please the emperor with your beauty and eliminate the estrangement, but the emperor not only did not appreciate it, but used you as a chess game to embarrass the Queen Mother and regress, from this point it can be seen that the emperor is very dissatisfied with the Shen family, if I don't come forward to make a plan to win the king's heart, wouldn't the Shen family be in danger?"

"How do you know that the emperor will obey you?" Shen Zhuangzhao thought it was ridiculous.

"If my sister doesn't believe it, you can wait for the emperor to tell the queen mother in person that he will marry me into the palace. My sister is planning for the long-term of the Shen family, with all due respect to my sister's blunt words, my sister has no use value, and will only be in this harem, slowly breaking off before the old grace is broken, and then the old man is just yellow. ”

"You let this palace come here just to hide people's eyes and ears and say such despicable words?" Shen Zhuangzhao raised the corners of his eyebrows contemptuously, and it was really a concubine who was difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

"My sister is from the Shen family, becoming the imperial concubine will only make the Shen family glorious, and the concubine should be a person like my sister, look at it, the emperor will come to marry in the bright light in two days, because, this is my sister - the letter told him that he couldn't bear to destroy the affection of the eldest sister, so he decided to leave the palace and return to the house, and marry again."

"Shen Shuzhao, you are really shameless! Before you leave the cabinet but you can't get involved with the emperor, aren't you afraid that everyone in the Shen family will despise you in their hearts if they don't say it! Shen Zhuangzhao scolded angrily, she didn't expect that she would show off the details to herself, this time she came here with the intention that she might be blamed by the Queen Mother for provoking trouble first, who expected Shen Shuzhao to do this, did she think that if she didn't get rid of her eyeliner in Qinglian Pavilion, what she said wouldn't be the Queen Mother? Such a big disrespectful word, I must let the Queen Mother hear it, and then recognize the true face of this hypocritical and weak girl!

"This palace doesn't want to talk more about a foxy woman like you, it really makes this palace disgusting to look at it more - the concubine is from a cheap concubine, and probably only knows how to live by sexualizing others." She sneered, then turned around and left, she would go to tell the Empress Dowager how sinister this seemingly weak concubine was.

Shen Shuzhao watched her leave, and a light smile appeared, in fact, what she said was deliberate. Qinglian Pavilion has not had ears and eyes at all times since she has received more and more favor from the Queen Mother, and she has also attracted a group of palace people, whether she has found out the eyeliner, she knows very well.

Give Shen Zhuangzhao the illusion that she dares to spit out the truth only after getting rid of the arranged eyeliner, so she will definitely relay her disrespectful words to the Queen Mother as they are, and she is no longer afraid that the Queen Mother will blame her for suddenly visiting Qinglian Pavilion to embarrass herself, how powerful is it?

The Queen Mother's ambiguous attitude was just that she was afraid that she would really like the emperor and eventually abandon the Shen family for love, and the Queen Mother at that time became a person who made wedding dresses for others. She has to be a pure villain, only by using and pursuing fame and fortune can she never be blinded by love and turn against her.

Just go for it.

Shen Shuzhao said lightly in his heart.

Just when Shen Zhuangzhao disappeared from the corner of the flower garden, the tall and moving back suddenly stopped, she became unnatural, looking a little restrained, Shen Shuzhao cast a questioning look from behind, and then a figure slowly walked out of the corner, forcing her to take a few steps back, a person a few inches taller than her slowly walked out at the same time, Shen Zhuangzhao bowed very cautiously and saluted: "I've seen ...... The eldest princess. ”

Shen Shuzhao's heart hung suddenly, could she listen to these words?

That's not what she meant.

Worriedly, Wei Yang's face fell with gentle and plain tolerance, and then, another crisp footstep sounded, and Shen Zhuangzhao, who was closest to them, first noticed the person who came, and when she raised her low eyelashes, her heart suddenly tightened, Queen? How could she be here...... The eldest princess, and the queen?

The queen looked at her expressionlessly, she was standing behind Wei Yang, no wonder Shen Zhuangzhao didn't see her.

"The concubine meets the queen mother and the eldest princess."

She hurriedly corrected her.

"No courtesy." The queen squinted at her, then looked at Shen Zhuangzhao carefully, and asked, "Concubine Yuan, why are you here?" ”

"The concubine and the second sister are enjoying the flowers and taking a walk in this garden, but they are a little homely."

"Huh? How can this be done, your sister is about to enter the palace, you should let her stay in the palace as much as possible and learn the rules of the palace. The queen sensed the atmosphere between them, raised her eyebrows, and said hypocritically.

Shen Zhuangzhao showed a forbearance of embarrassment, "The concubine knows." After a while, she looked at Wei Yang and the queen, and said with a pinch: "Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, although the flowers in this flower garden are much more thankful than before, there are still many flowers blooming one after another, and the scenery is elegant and beautiful. ”

Wei Yang said: "Lone and the queen only met halfway. ”

The queen paced to Wei Yang's side, and the two stood together with each other's aura, "Since we met, why don't you go for a walk with Concubine Yuan and Miss Shen with the palace and the eldest princess?" ”

Shen Zhuangzhao retreated a little, "How dare the concubine and her sister disturb the leisure and elegance of the queen's mother." ”

"With you, this palace has its own leisure and elegance."

"This ......" She felt that the queen was setting up a trap for her, but after glancing at the calm Wei Yang, she reluctantly agreed to this matter.

"Come here." The queen said to Shen Shuzhao behind her.

Shen Shuzhao lowered her head and tried to avoid her gaze, she stepped forward and saluted again, the queen deliberately wanted to intensify the conflict between her and her eldest sister, she had to be extremely careful.

"You, look up." The queen lightly lifted her lips, and then turned to face her half-sideways, her skirt exuding the shape of red peony petals on the ground, and she showed her style with her gestures.

Seeing that she was obedient, the queen smiled, stepped forward and stretched out her index finger to raise Shen Shuzhao's side face, "Such a beautiful and simple face is diametrically opposed to the gorgeous beauty of the concubines in the harem, no wonder the emperor will feel a fresh infatuation with you." ”

That sounds harsh.

Shen Shuzhao replied without humility: "The courtiers are mud in the dust, and they can't be compared with the queen mother at all." ”

The queen wanted to answer, but a hand suddenly stopped in front of her, she turned around, and there was the eldest princess Wei Yang standing beside her unconsciously, and her face was very indifferent, she saw that Wei Yang's deep pupils were condensed with indescribable love, and her cold facial features were even more cold at this time, "Queen Mother, now is not the time to say these words, the flowers in front are late, and the hour is over." ”

The queen pondered her words carefully, and for the sake of Wei Yang's domineering, she withdrew her hand that was holding Shen Shuzhao, leaving a deep nail red mark on Shen Shuzhao's chin.

"The eldest princess is right, let's go." The queen ordered.

Shen Shuzhao stood quietly beside Wei Yang, she didn't know what the queen would do to them when she met them. Her eldest sister always stood at the end, a most indifferent position, as she had followed Concubine Mei and the emperor before, and perhaps from the bottom of her heart she did not want to be close to them.

Shen Shuzhao knew that now was not a good time to ask, so the four of them walked forward together.

On the way, she secretly glanced at Wei Yang, intending to ask, "What's going on?" ”

Wei Yang gave her a reassuring look, as if to tell her that she could rest assured.

The queen glanced at the interaction between them, silently looked away, and then seemed to continue to say something about the interruption with Wei Yang: "Eldest princess, do you remember the encounter you had with the palace in the imperial garden after returning to the palace for the first time this year?" ”

"Huh?" Wei Yang let out a thoughtful moan.

The queen lowered her head, "Every word that the eldest princess said to the palace that day, the palace remembers it very clearly. ”

"Yes."

"It seems that since that time, the palace has rarely seen the eldest princess out of Changle Palace."

"After returning from the National Temple, there are a lot of things left in the palace waiting to be done."

"You're still as used to being alone as you were two years ago." The queen said lightly in a tone that she had known for many years.

"The queen is as moving as ever."

Wei Yang replied in her tone of indifference or detachment.

But it seems that the queen is happy enough to hear this, "No matter how much the palace retains its face, it can't compare to those new beauties who enter the palace every year." ”

"The queen is too humble."

The chatter along the way has become the reminiscence of the queen and the eldest princess, Shen Shuzhao accompanied Wei Yang, silently listening to the queen's chat with her, as if she wanted to know something about Wei Yang. She envied anyone who had known Wei Yang for many years, whether they were friends or foes. There were long years in between, and she couldn't fill them.

So at this moment, she took off her guard and quietly listened to what Wei Yang was telling from others.

Halfway through, the person in front suddenly stopped, and the queen said: "This is the place where Li Rou Concubine surprised the Six Palaces with a lotus picking dance. ”

Wei Yang listened to the faint movement behind him, "Hmm." ”

"I didn't expect it to be so long...... the queen said with amusement.

Li Rou Concubine?

Shen Zhuangzhao quickly remembered this name in his heart, wasn't this the suicide concubine that the third sister wanted to deliberately provoke her to mention? And Shen Shuzhao beside her also showed a deep expression after hearing this, it was her.

This emperor's heart is forever white rose.

He was favored in the limelight back then--none of the concubines in the Six Palaces could match.

And everyone attributed it to Li Roufei's special background, so she could get this honor that ordinary concubines couldn't get......

But people have been in the ground for many years, and it's no different to mention the old things.
