Naturally, what the Queen Mother said was not wrong, Shen Shuzhao smiled bitterly, but she didn't say anything.

After only one day, the excerpt of the investigation of Master Li Sizhi was reported to the Queen Mother, and I have to say that Gao Dezhong is fast. In the main hall that day, the Queen Mother took it over to inspect with satisfaction, and after reading it, she pondered deeply, while Shen Shuzhao stood aside to observe the Queen Mother's reaction.

Putting down the fold, the Queen Mother said calmly: "You take it and take a look." ”

With permission, Shen Shuzhao took it, she took it and looked at it, Gao Dezhong's subordinates were to the effect that this Lord Li often went in and out of the teahouse on Shengping Street, and had close contact with Luoyang Shangfu, and the rest of the time was in the mansion, and there was nothing unusual yet.

The name of the wealthy merchant in Luoyang is very familiar, as if he had heard his subordinate officials mention it in his previous life, and he was a person who repeatedly wanted to squeeze from the status of a businessman into the petty official class.

The official once said: "This person is not simple. "Now it seems that the ambition to start meeting frequently with a senior official who is about to resign so early seems to have come from a long time ago.

Her fingertips slid over the name, thought for a while, and said to the Queen Mother: "The courtiers have something to ask for, I wonder if the Queen Mother is willing to listen to it?" ”

"You just have to say it."

"This person is a businessman, and the courtiers think that in addition to secretly investigating him, they should also have some direct contact with this person, and at the same time, they must not startle the snake."

"Who do you think it's going to do?"

"Back to the Queen Mother," Shen Shuzhao stepped forward to look her in the eyes and said, "The courtiers are willing to go out of the palace to work for their mother." ”

She couldn't let go of this opportunity, and the time to gain the trust of the Queen Mother came.

The Queen Mother didn't think much about it, she nodded, and said, "Gu understands that you are clever, so you can go out with Gao Dezhong in the afternoon." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

After Shen Shuzhao finished speaking, she chatted with her for a few more words, and was sent back by the Queen Mother on the grounds of not delaying the matter.

She returned to Qinglian Pavilion and saw that the eldest princess Wei Yang was accompanying the eldest sister and the third sister, they were cousins, and they were more intimate than herself, Shen Zhuangzhao sat beside her very generously, and his eyes were full of smiles between words and smiles.

Wei Yang held the white jade teacup calmly, although he didn't talk much with Shen Zhuangzhao and Shen Xiaozhao, but there was also a light smile in his dimples.

Shen Shuzhao stood far away like this, quietly watching the three of them sitting in the pavilion.

Dressed in white dresses, with delicate jade faces and green silk hanging waists, the three women each held a tea cup and chatted among the gardenias to pass the time.

For some reason, she always felt that Wei Yang laughed more when she was with others than when she was with herself.

When she was with Shen Zhuangzhao and them, Wei Yang looked relaxed, but when she was with herself, she was a little cold, and even a little dignified.

Seeing the eldest princess showing a look that she knew little about in front of others, Shen Shuzhao felt a little complicated in her heart.

It's okay not to bother yourself. She turned around and planned to leave, and it was very quick to return to the West Wing, but as soon as Huizhuang Lurong saw her, she stepped forward and said, "Second Miss, why didn't you go over?" Just opposite, the eldest lady and the third lady are accompanying Her Royal Highness the eldest princess at this time. ”

Shen Shuzhao said: "I saw it, it's inconvenient to disturb them." ”

Lu Rong was surprised when she heard this: "How come?" The eldest princess personally invited you to sit in the pavilion, but because you had not arrived before, she went there first. ”

Hearing her say this, Shen Shuzhao thought to herself, was Wei Yang the first to bring it up?

"Second Miss, go quickly, the princess has already ordered the slaves and maids, and if you come back, I will sue you."

Seeing that the palace maids all said this, Shen Shuzhao didn't say much, cut the beads on the sideburns and the cuffs of the clothes, and followed Huizhuang and the others over.

After coming out, looking at the pavilion from afar, there was a beautiful woman beside Wei Yang who whispered something in her ear, she looked at herself sideways, the smile disappeared from her face, and she relaxed and retreated, they looked at each other, and Shen Shuzhao didn't know what she was thinking.

Shen Zhuangzhao, who was sitting next to Wei Yang, looked at the two of them for a long time, she looked at them back and forth, and then after thinking about it, she decided to break the silence, she got up and smiled at Shen Shuzhao: "Second sister, come here." ”

Shen Shuzhao saluted after approaching, and then sat near the third sister, Wei Yang put away the unconsciously leisurely, took a cup of tea with his hand, and said no more, but the actions of these two fell in Shen Zhuangzhao's eyes.

She shook the soft Luo smoke fan and said, "Princess, every time the courtiers go to visit you, they learn that you are often not in Changle Palace, it is rare for the princess to invite you today, and I hope the princess will stay longer." ”

Wei Yang replied: "Gu has rarely stayed in the palace recently, and he should have invited you to travel a long time ago, but who knew that the birthday banquet would be empty, cousins, don't mind." ”

"How dare the courtiers? The princess is already a noble person, so it's good that the courtiers don't bother you. Shen Zhuangzhao said softly, and the pause in her speech was appropriate, just like her usual faint style of ladies and gentlemen.

Shen Shuzhao listened to their conversation, she secretly wondered to herself, why Wei Yang always didn't stay in the palace, Mo said that it was always difficult to see her every time, even when she wanted to see her...... can only wait for Wei Yang to find himself first.

After chatting for a while, the third sister asked out loud: "Princess, it has been half a month since the courtiers entered the palace, but it is really boring to stay in Qinglian Pavilion, I don't know where else to go in Changle Palace?" ”

Wei Yang said: "There are naturally other good places in the palace, if my cousin wants to go, I can take you there next time." ”

Hearing this, Shen Xiaozhao's eyes lit up, "Her Royal Highness the princess treats the courtiers so well, Xiaozhao will thank you in advance, as long as the princess is free, the courtiers can do it at any time." She deliberately flattered.

Shen Zhuangzhao's expression was also a little happy, after all, it was very beneficial for them to get close to the emperor's only eldest sister.

Wei Yang smiled lightly and said: "When there is no one in private, you can just call me cousin, a princess and His Royal Highness, calling strange and strange." ”

The two people in front of her hung their heads at the same time, with a half-shyness on their faces, and they both said timidly: "Yes...... Cousin. ”

Shen Shuzhao saw it in her eyes, she was silent, and suddenly she didn't want to say anything more in her heart, she picked up the pastel Baihua teacup and took a sip, huh? How can it be so bitter...... She squinted at Wei Yang habitually, and Wei Yang's lazy eyes glanced at her as if they were nothing, only to see her eyebrows slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth were curled.

She was laughing.

Shen Shuzhao's face turned red, and he hurriedly put down the teacup, since Wei Yang said so, wouldn't he have to change his words from the eldest princess to his cousin?

Before he could finish thinking about it, Shen Zhuangzhao mentioned that he wanted to go to another place, and when Shen Shuzhao saw this, how could this be done - she was a person who had something to do! So she got up and decided to leave.

At this time, Wei Yang asked with a little doubt: "Cousin, what are you busy with today?" ”

"It's not that I'm too busy, it's just that the courtiers are going to the medical hall to choose medicine for the queen mother at this moment, I'm afraid I can't stay for a long time, I can only look at the princess...... Cousin, cough, forgiveness. ”

Hearing her say this, Wei Yang had no choice but to hum, looked at Shen Shuzhao's eyes deeply, and replied softly: "Then you go." ”

After Shen Shuzhao said goodbye, he turned around and left.

Left behind the third sister who immediately took the initiative to talk to Wei Yang, and the eldest sister who was close to Wei Yang's side, she didn't look back and knew that they were chatting very happily, which was not between her and Wei Yang.

Looking at Shen Shuzhao's back as he walked away, Wei Yang looked down at the cup of tea in his hand calmly, and suddenly felt that the taste was even lighter......

Shen Shuzhao returned to the west wing, and within two hours, Gao Dezhong soon brought two small eunuchs over in the afternoon, and by the way, he also sent a low-level eunuch's clothes, which was also for the sake of the safety of Miss Shen Er's exit from the palace. After Shen Shuzhao changed in the house, he secretly walked out of the side door of Qinglian Pavilion when there were few people.

"Second Miss, please." Gao Dezhong stood at the door and said politely, and then stretched out his hand to signal her to go up.

Shen Shuzhao entered and sat down excitedly, this men's dress was the first time she wore it, her soft black hair was pulled back of her head, and she also wore a black Qiaoshi crown on her head, her slender body was covered in a loose eunuch uniform, and her chest features were tightly wrapped in a white cloth.

Buyu slowly set off towards the palace gate, Shen Shuzhao had not recovered from the novelty, and arrived at the gate of the imperial city in a blink of an eye, she came down with Gao Dezhong, Gao Dezhong took out the ivory card from his arms and showed it to the person guarding the door, the guard saw that it was the red man next to the queen mother, even if there was an eye-catching eunuch behind him, he didn't ask more, and let them pass with a few words of flattery.

As soon as the main gate opened, a tall man wearing a crown and looking unrecognizable walked in.

She mentioned in her heart that it was Mrs. Chen! The last time they met in front of the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace, he came with Empress Xiao's father, and I don't know if he would recognize him.

Shen Shuzhao lowered his head and hurriedly walked over, but Taiwei Chen stood in place and looked at them all the time, then thought about something, and then walked towards her.

How could it be such a coincidence?

As soon as she saw him coming towards her, she quickly moved behind the others.

As soon as Taiwei Chen came over, he said loudly to the person opposite: "Long time no see!" ”

Gao Dezhong bowed down and said humbly: "I happened to meet the captain here, and the slave and maid are really lucky." ”

"The nobles are polite," Taiwei Chen looked at him with his hands behind his back, his eyes swirling over the few young eunuchs behind him, "You were ordered to go out on errands again?" ”

"That's not the case, the queen mother's birthday banquet is coming in a few days, and the slaves and maids are free today, so I took a few newcomers out of the palace to buy the things needed for the banquet, and by the way, I told them to learn to take care of these trivial matters." Gao Dezhong returned.

After hearing this, Taiwei Chen bowed his head: "The nobles are hard, and it is not easy for these young people to bring them up." ”

"Since the captain has something to do with entering the palace, then the slave and maid will not miss something, and I would like to send the captain off."

He bowed his head and made a gesture of invitation, and the three Shen Shuzhao behind him also bowed down together, Taiwei Chen didn't say anything, his eyes swept from top to bottom with a smile, and then turned his back and walked in front of them.

Shen Shuzhao hurriedly walked out with Gao Dezhong and the others, what she didn't know was that not far behind her, there was a Buyu who had just come out of Changle Palace and was looking at her silently, until Shen Shuzhao and Gao Dezhong completely disappeared outside the palace gate.

In this crimson tent, the eyes that looked at her were still the same.
