In the Changle Palace, there was the eldest princess Wei Yang along the way, although Shen Shuzhao and the others would not have anything to do, they almost felt twice as much pressure as the usual road.

They were followed by the black-clad and masked Praetorian Guards, and in front of them were the eldest princess with a long sword at her waist, but wherever they went, they would be seen by everyone on their knees.

So it's not so much an escort, it's more eye-catching than usual, and later Wei Yang also realized this, so he familiarly chose a shortcut in the palace to copy it, and the people on the road gradually became few, and they won't meet any more concubines.

Finally came to Qinglian Pavilion, the eldest sister Shen Zhuangzhao breathed a sigh of relief, turned to a smile, and said to Wei Yang Fushen: "Thank you for speaking for Zhuang Zhao today, Zhuang Zhao is grateful." ”

Wei Yang looked at her and replied, "It's okay, next time you must be careful of people like Concubine Ling." ”

Shen Zhuangzhao nodded yes, she has a very good impression of the eldest princess now, the queen mother indicated that night she would choose herself as the imperial concubine, according to this, she was relieved by her future husband's sister, and she is such a good-looking person, at this time, I can't wait to leave her to gossip immediately.

And this time she was much more sincere than Concubine Ling.

"Your Highness, are you here to visit the Queen Mother when you go back to Changle Palace?" Shen Zhuangzhao asked.

Wei Yang said lightly: "No, I just came out of the emperor, just by the way." ”

When the emperor's name was mentioned, Shen Zhuang Zhao and Shen Xiaozhao's eyes obviously fluctuated, and their concerned expressions were slightly revealed on their faces.

So Shen Zhuangzhao continued: "If the eldest princess is free, it is better to stay and accompany the women to enjoy the flowers for a while." ”

Facing the look of anticipation in Shen Zhuangzhao's eyes, Wei Yang thought for a while, and finally had to agree, even if this place had been visited by her countless times, and even her words were still hanging in the bath pavilion.

Seeing that Shen Zhuangzhao and Shen Xiaozhao happily invited Wei Yang to go elsewhere, Shen Shuzhao on the other side planned to excuse himself by claiming that he was unwell.

Although the eldest princess is close to the Queen Mother, since she got married in her previous life, she miraculously disappeared into the royal strife, and no one knows the reason.

At that time, she had been with the Queen Mother for more than a year, and she had never seen the eldest princess appear in any dispute.

So she pretended to be weak and whispered: "Your Highness, and the eldest sister, Shuzhao felt a little unwell, I was afraid that she had some heat stroke before, so she had to go back to the house to rest first." ”

For this, Shen Zhuangzhao naturally agreed, but Wei Yang said leisurely on the side: "I met you in Nanyuan before, and you looked good, why did you suffer from heat stroke?" ”

Shen Shuzhao was slightly stunned, she wanted to cry without tears, why didn't she mention Nanyuan?

"Your Highness, even if you meet Concubine Ling and then walk to the gate of Changle Palace, you have to have a long way."

That's all she could go back to.

However, looking at Wei Yang's appearance of practicing martial arts, especially the fact that she was carrying a sword with her, she also knew where she was uncomfortable, how could she not see it.

Wei Yang continued: "Actually, the lotus flowers near Qinglian Pavilion are the most in the Six Palaces, and Second Miss Shen doesn't have to serve by the Queen Mother's side every day, so it's not bad to come out and enjoy some scenery." ”

Then she smiled faintly, and her lips hooked up with a sense of remoteness, and asked, "So let's go?" ”

The eldest princess had already said so, and Shen Shuzhao naturally had no reason to refuse, but somehow, she felt that she had no reason to refuse.

She approached and followed them, who were a little far away.

After Wei Yang asked those Praetorian Guards to retreat and stay at the main gate of Qinglian Pavilion, he and Shen Shuzhao and his party slowly walked to the corridor. The white lotus outside the corridor was full of scorching pools, she stopped, and Shen Shuzhao and the others behind her also stopped.

Wei Yang stretched out his hand and carefully stroked the plain lotus railing, sighed imperceptibly, and was silent for a moment, but still spoke: "Miss Shen, you shouldn't talk to Concubine Ling." ”

Shen Zhuangzhao was surprised, she didn't understand why Wei Yang suddenly said this, wasn't this matter already in the past?

Wei Yang retracted his gaze that fell on the handrail, and re-landed on the beautiful but still young girl in front of him, with a little regret: "The Queen Mother has protected you very well since you entered the palace, and sent the most powerful palace people, but this does not mean that no one in the harem wants to take the opportunity to pay attention to you, your words and deeds are with the palace people around you, if you make a mistake, they will not escape their responsibility." ”

Shen Shuzhao listened to these words silently in her heart, and she seemed to understand something. She looked at Wei Yang's side face, and suddenly felt that she could understand her feelings.

"I'm sorry." Facing Wei Yang's silence, Shen Zhuangzhao lowered his head, and suddenly felt that he had made a very wrong move, although he and Shen Shuzhao both pushed away Ling Concubine's original mention of yì, but what happened later? Wasn't it put at the gate of the palace by someone else?

Looking at Shen Zhuangzhao, who was frowning, Wei Yang softened his tone: "Don't blame yourself too much...... Although Miss Shen Er also helped you save some of the situation, Concubine Ling is always from the palace, and the Queen Mother will not blame you much. ”

After listening, Shen Zhuangzhao turned his head to look at Shen Shuzhao, only to see that the other party was still looking at Wei Yang expressionlessly, indeed, today Shen Shuzhao has spoken out for himself several times, and she was the one who was pushed to the forefront, but the first to solve the siege was her sister-in-law who had always been at odds with her, Shen Zhuangzhao suddenly fell into contemplation about what Shen Shuzhao did.

However, Shen Shuzhao was not as complicated as she thought, and Shen Shuzhao had only one thought - never for the palace concubine.

As long as she is not a concubine, what about the eldest sister who has a bad relationship with her? She can also be like the Queen Mother, protect Shen Zhuangzhao and get that position safe and sound, whether it is compatible or not, this issue has nothing to do in the face of interests.

Wei Yang turned his head and looked at Qinglian in front of him indifferently, and his tone was intriguing: "Miss Shen, if the queen mother comes to you to ask about this, you must know that your words and deeds are very important...... If you want to be an imperial concubine. ”

Shen Zhuang Zhaoru was poured with cold water from his head, straightforward, too straightforward, this sentence was like pulling a fig leaf, although everyone hid it and didn't say it thoroughly, but everyone knew it, but suddenly it was mentioned in front of her face for the first time, all her careful thoughts were exposed, and there was nowhere to hide in front of this outsider.

If she didn't want to be friends with the emperor's concubines, why would she talk to Concubine Ling for so long? If she didn't want to know about the emperor, why would she let the eldest princess stay?

Shen Zhuangzhao did a qiē for the position of the imperial concubine, but she almost messed up this qiē at the beginning, Concubine Xi and Concubine Xian were already wary of her, would the Queen Mother still think she was suitable for entering the palace?

She clenched the Juanpa in her hand and remained silent.

"Miss Shen."

From the end of the corridor came the voice of a middle-aged woman, and everyone looked at it, it turned out to be the female imperial chief, and I don't know how long she had been standing there.

The female imperial chief walked over and saluted the central bank respectfully: "Your Highness, I never thought that you were also here. ”

After speaking, she looked at Shen Zhuangzhao, and said in a flat tone as always: "Miss, the Queen Mother hopes that you can go to the Yongshou Palace." ”

It seems that the Queen Mother already knows.

Shen Shuzhao knew it in her heart, and after watching Shen Zhuangzhao calmly finish speaking, she was ready to lead her palace people to follow the female imperial chief away.

"Wait—" The female imperial chief said, her eyes swept around the palace maids behind Shen Zhuangzhao, and said, "The queen mother has an order, and all the palace maids here must go with the high eunuchs." ”

All the palace maids looked at each other, their bodies trembled, and they didn't need to speak, what they were most worried about had arrived, Shen Shuzhao took a deep breath, and sure enough, it was still here.

Wei Yang put his hand on the carved lotus, and asked in a flat tone: "Female Imperial Chief, this princess will stay in Qinglian Pavilion for a long time, do you want to let there be no palace maids here?" ”

The female imperial chief bowed her head: "The slave maid doesn't dare, it's just the order of the queen mother, and the slave and maid can only do it." ”

"This princess understands," Wei Yang said, "you can take Miss Shen over first, and it won't be too late for me to leave before taking it away." ”

The female imperial chief on the opposite side showed a difficult look, but the eldest princess really couldn't just take the role that the queen mother's order could suppress, the trust and military power she gained from the emperor, the female imperial chief was a close confidant of the queen mother, but she was clear about the side plug.

So she had no choice but to give up and said: "I know, the eunuch will order someone to wait at the gate of Qinglian Pavilion, if the princess comes out, every palace person must go with the eunuch, this is the queen mother's will, and the slave and maid will retire." ”

After speaking, Shen Shuzhao watched Shen Zhuangzhao gradually calm down, and then turned back to her palace people and said You stay here first, and leave with the female imperial chief alone.

It seems that Shen Zhuangzhao also understands the purpose of Wei Yang's words before.

At this time, the palace maids left behind were all panicked, but they didn't dare to say a word, Wei Yang turned his head to look at them, and said calmly: "Let's all retreat, just don't walk out of Qinglian Pavilion." ”

The palace maids all thanked her and said yes, especially those who served by Shen Zhuangzhao's side, and soon they all retreated.

In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left here, but since the eldest sister had left, Shen Xiaozhao didn't want to stay any longer now. What is this? Since the Queen Mother has already decided that it is Shen Zhuangzhao, why bother to summon them over as a foil.

Although Shen Xiaozhao is the youngest, when she is still a princess, she knows clearly in her heart which one is closest to the center of power.

Shen Xiaozhao casually excused himself, then turned around and left, leaving only Shen Shuzhao and the eldest princess Wei Yang here.

Silent......

Or is it silent......

The embarrassment when they met for the first time, Shen Shuzhao actually had some lingering palpitations, but Wei Yang did these kind actions again and again, and she suddenly found that the person who raised his sword against her for the first time was not so cold.

She secretly raised her eyes and looked at the side face of the eldest princess beside her, it was really beautiful, if she was an ordinary man, I am afraid that she would have fallen in love with this princess at first sight. After watching it for a long time, Shen Shuzhao found that Wei Yang looked at the scenery in front of him and still kept his expression unchanged, as if no matter what happened, her heart was not shocked.

Before, because Shen Zhuangzhao had been standing beside Wei Yang and talking to her, the position she was standing in now was really a little far, and she looked very embarrassed, and after hesitating, she still decided to break the silence.

So she took the initiative to step forward to Wei Yang's side, and when she got closer, a faint fragrance emanated from the body of the person next to her, which was both elegant and alienated for a long time, this was the first time she had close contact with the eldest princess, and she faintly felt good in her heart.

At this time, the eldest princess, who had always been silent, suddenly asked, "Why are you speaking for Shen Zhuangzhao?" ”
