Gao Dezhong stared at the sky above the head of the Yongshou Palace, the ink clouds were surging and the rain was not stopping, today was really an unlucky and bad day, and now, at this moment, the new Concubine Shen was about to enter the palace.

I don't know what kind of bloody storm will be set off in the harem.

In the second year of Yongyuan, June 15, the historian of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs added a note to the bamboo tube policy: Shen's daughter, Erba, the niece of the Queen Mother, entered the palace as a concubine, and lived in the main position of Weiyang Palace. However, that night, the name of the new concubine did not appear on the same day in the record of the maid recorded by the female official of the same house. Fifteen nights, blank, a palace is not chosen.

For the first night of the empty room, everyone in Weiyang Palace was silent, and the girl dressed in Fengxia sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, she did not look disappointed, she was extremely quiet, as if she was immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't care about the emperor's coldness.

"Niangniang," the vigil near the screen door couldn't look past her after all, and persuaded her: "It's very late at night, Niangniang still don't wait." ”

Shen Shuzhao is waiting for this sentence, she has actually been thinking about her mother, is it goodbye from today onwards? She was still reluctant. But in front of everyone, she lowered her eyelashes as she pretended to be disappointed, "Hmm. ”

Two palace maids walked in from outside and were about to undress her, Shen Shuzhao opened her wide sleeves, and the palace maid's fingertips only touched her embroidered placket, and a reprimand immediately sounded at the door: "What are you doing!" ”

Several palace maids were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, Shen Shuzhao looked at a woman who walked in with an unusually luxurious palace dress of nearly forty years old, she was aggressive, and she was very annoyed by the mistakes made by these young people, "The emperor hasn't come yet, how can he rest alone!" ”

"Female Imperial Chief, the slaves and maids know that they are wrong, and they will not dare next time." The palace maid apologized in a low voice.

"When you first assigned to serve in the concubine's palace, you are so careless, didn't the Internal Affairs Office explain the etiquette to you clearly? From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to stay in Weiyang Palace. ”

Seeing that the woman who was called the female imperial chief spoke harshly, which made her palace maids tremble and be afraid, Shen Shuzhao had to come forward to solve the siege: "Female imperial chief, this matter has nothing to do with them, it is because the palace is a little lacking, and they are concerned about the palace before they came over to ask if they want to have a wide coat." ”

When facing Shen Shuzhao, the female imperial chief turned her face and became gentle, "The emperor will come, and the mother will wait with peace of mind." If the mother feels sleepy, is it good for the slave to make some refreshing tea for the mother? ”

Outside the window, when ugly. The night was so late that everyone was dreaming, Shen Shuzhao sat hopelessly in the bedroom and waited, the cool breeze was blowing, and she was so tired that she was still about to close her eyes.

"Mother."

The female imperial chief urged her to wake up.

"Female Imperial Chief, Your Majesty...... I'm afraid it won't come. "The grandmother at the door is kind and persuasive.

"He'll come." The female imperial chief glared angrily, how firm did he come, even Shen Shuzhao didn't understand, Mama wilted, and no one dared to persuade her.

So because of her words, Shen Shuzhao didn't change her clothes all night, and honestly sat on the edge of the bed waiting for someone who wouldn't come at all. At dawn, Mama pushed the door in from outside to call the new concubine to Changle Palace to ask for peace, and as soon as she came in, she saw Shen Shuzhao sleeping heavily on the bedpost, very unsteady. Mama's heart is sour, poor child, the queen mother is too strong, first forced the emperor to accept a concubine, and then forced the new concubine to keep the empty room, and she was not allowed to sleep, alas, in the end, she was a concubine with no feelings.

"Niangniang, get up, it's time to go to the Yongshou Palace to say goodbye."

There was a hazy call from the depths of the dream, Shen Shuzhao woke up, the dazzling morning sun rose in the center of the window, the orange egg yolk, and the gloom of yesterday was too contrasting, she couldn't help but start to wonder, couldn't it be that the day she entered the palace was really cursed?

After finishing her makeup, six palace people led her over.

Yongshou Hall is the middle palace of Changle Palace, compared with the extravagance and preciousness of the appearance of other sleeping palaces, Yongshou Hall instead looks like a Buddhist pavilion with a pure heart and few desires, dark wood and ebony lacquer, solemn and solemn, Shen Shuzhao feels that there is a solemn sense of official court.

"Although the Queen Mother treats people strictly, as long as she knows how to speak, she will not embarrass her mother." The palace man Xilu began to tell her to pay attention to small things, "The queen mother doesn't like to be clumsy, so the mother must be alert." By the way, the Queen Mother also likes Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Kunyi, that is, the eldest princess of the dynasty, and the mother uses her to flatter the Queen Mother a few more words, maybe she will make the old man happy. ”

"Eldest Princess...... The main palace is a little heard of in the capital. ”

The words "But the slave maid privately said to the mother, the eldest princess Kunyi is the most beautiful woman born, and the slave maid has seen so many concubines in Changle Palace, and it is very strange that the slave maid has seen so many concubines in the Changle Palace, and she has not even compared to her." But her temperament is the coldest, except for the queen, so far no concubine in the six palaces has chatted with her, and the mother still doesn't touch it, so as not to touch the ashes. ”

"What you said puzzled the palace, the eldest princess is a symbol of the queen mother's power and royal family, she treats other concubines so indifferently, won't the Son of Heaven and the queen mother feel inappropriate?"

"Niangniang doesn't know, the eldest princess Kunyi has a close relationship with the queen mother, so no one is responsible for this."

After listening to what Xi Lu said, the image of an eldest princess who was good friends with different six palaces, had a cold temperament, and didn't say a word sprouted in Shen Shuzhao's heart, she felt that this princess must be extraordinary, otherwise how could she have the confidence to disdain the family's favorite concubine? Xi Lu is just a palace person, she doesn't understand that in fact, the eldest princesses in the deep palace are not far away from the nobles, on the contrary, because the royal family of the Wei Dynasty and the famous families show favor to each other, so any royal family has its own connections in the nobility, just like the Shen Mansion and the kings, the eldest princess of heaven and the eldest princess of the Son of Heaven maintain good relations, the eldest princess is so arrogant, she will definitely be opposed by the queen mother. And if they don't, it can be shown that this eldest princess is either talented or a powerful role in the government and military.

In this way, it makes sense to be too lazy to pay attention to the harem connections.

"The eldest princess Kunyi is so favored, presumably the concubine is also one in a million." Shen Shuzhao tested the power of the Queen Mother. Those who can be worthy of the eldest princess can only be married to the closest alliance.

"The eldest princess hasn't married yet, and I heard from the sisters in the Yongshou Palace that the queen mother thinks that the eldest princess's marriage is determined by herself, and everything depends on her. Niangniang, you say, aren't you very spoiled? ”

Xi Lu's words gave Shen Shuzhao a great point, and it was unusual to be favored as such an eldest princess. If she was replaced by the eldest sister, she would never contact the eldest princess again after she was arrogant and arrogant, but Shen Shuzhao understood the unusual things that the eldest princess hid, and she thought that if she could cooperate with her, she would be much more comfortable in the palace in the future. The Queen Mother is her aunt, and no matter what she says, the other party will give face to her family.

Careful and confident, they walked up to the main corridor to the Yongshou Hall, which led directly to its connecting white steps, and the main road was narrow enough to accommodate eight people standing in a line. The side branch wooden corridor extends in all directions, there is the road from the flower garden, there is the road from the Qinglian Pavilion, there is the road from the north and south palaces, and finally all gather on the main road, you can go to the Yongshou Hall or leave, it is very convenient. Shen Shuzhao and the others walked in the main road, and Xi Lu suddenly saw something from a distance and was shocked, "Ouch! Disastrous! Her voice trembled, "That'...... Is that! ”

Following her words, Shen Shuzhao saw a group of mighty people coming from the direction of the branch corridor from the flower garden, and they were not palace maids, they were all royal guards. In this formation, she thought that the emperor was coming. Could it be the prince?

"Niangniang, kneel down, in front of you is the eldest princess who is very indifferent and difficult to approach."

The voice of Xi Green came from the side of their feet, and it turned out that they had already bent down and did not look up. Shen Shuzhao thought to herself that she really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, but she didn't follow them for a long time, because she had to make this eldest princess impress her, if she had already retreated to the side and bowed her head to salute, where would the eldest princess remember herself?

On the opposite side, there was a rush into the main corridor, and in front of more than ten guards walked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the momentum was not small.

Shen Shuzhao waited for her to walk near her, and then she made a move.

Raising her hands to her chest, bowing slightly, the wide robe and skirt of the eldest princess were already reflected in front of her eyes, moonlight white, smoke and rain, looming legs, slender and straight. They were close at hand.

Her heart was beating faster, and Shen Shuzhao tried her best to make a good impression in front of the eldest daughter favored by the Queen Mother, so when the eldest princess passed by, she was humble and decent, and said softly: "Concubine Shen see the eldest princess Kunyi." ”

Silence.

Voiceless.

There was no response, not even a "hmm" fell, and the eldest princess walked in front of her coldly, without stopping for a moment.

I didn't even look at her.

It's a bit embarrassing.

Shen Shuzhao thought.

In the line of sight of the salute and bowing her head, she saw the eldest princess's skirt disappearing, very ruthless. The guards quickly passed through the gap between her and the palace maid, in order to catch up with the eldest princess in front of them. In the shuttle of people, Shen Shuzhao realized for the first time what it means to be really cold, what is unattainable, what is a hot face sticking to a cold buttocks, and what is a smile to meet the ultimate snow-capped mountain. It turns out that what Xi Lu said is all the truth.

"Mother, let's go. The eldest princess of Kunyi is like this, she is alone, and her mother is used to it. ”

Shen Shuzhao smiled.

"How can this palace care. Walk. ”

She wasn't angry.

She can't be angry.

The eldest princess looks like she is uneducated and looks down on people coldly, she is not the only one who is frustrated, she can't be angry.

If you want to smile, you have to go to the Yongshou Palace to see the Queen Mother.

Unconsciously, Shen Shuzhao's evaluation of the eldest princess changed from being high and independent to not understanding etiquette, and she really changed her mind too quickly.

After they were getting farther and farther away from the eldest princess's team, Mo Forget, the maid who followed the eldest princess, asked uncertainly: "Your Highness, the one who just passed over seems to be the new concubine Shen who entered the palace yesterday. ”

At the mention of this word, the eldest princess's expression changed slightly.

Don't forget to look back a few more times, Shen Shuzhao in the same place has already stepped on the meteor and left fiercely, after confirming her identity, she turned around and continued: "Although Concubine Shen is a concubine, she has entered the palace as a common cousin of His Royal Highness, and she will often see each other in the Yongshou Palace in the future, and Her Royal Highness still has to treat her better." ”

"Since she is the Shen family, she will take refuge in her mother no matter what, why should she be flattering to her?"

Knowing that the master grew up in the harem where the concubines fought each other since he was a child, he was not interested in socializing with the concubines of the six palaces, so he could only shake his head helplessly and not answer.

The eldest princess frowned as she walked, slightly dissatisfied, "Every morning province has tried its best to stagger their time, aren't they all scattered this morning, how can there be one?" ”

"Your Royal Highness is confused, the concubine who just went to bed doesn't have to ask the queen for peace overnight, so she didn't come with the queen, she came from the palace by herself, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will meet her on the road."

"Okay." The eldest princess said coldly.

Surrounded by guards, the eldest princess went against the newcomer Concubine Shen and drifted away.
