The first day of the second year of Yonglong is more lively than the first year. novel

In the first year, although the new emperor changed the yuan and ascended the throne, he was worried about the first emperor in the end, and he was depressed and unwilling to publicize it. The courtiers realized that although the affairs were not frugal, they were not extravagant and ostentatious, but this year was different -- the great victory in Liaodong and the chaos in Liangzhou were happy events worthy of great celebration. The emperor and queen want to sweep away the shadow caused by the rebellion of Cangwu County, and is determined to do a big deal, how can everyone be unreasonable?

Men pay attention to the New Year's celebration, and women's hearts are even more hot.

There has been no queen mother and queen in this dynasty for more than ten years, and although the concubines take care of the harem together, no one dares to pose on such an occasion. Internal and external women, as long as they complete the process, they can go home, but now it is different. Whether it is a concubine, a princess or a high-ranking wife, all of them should flatter the queen for a day. They could not go back until the queen spoke and told them to go home.

In this way, the tiredness is definitely more tired than before, but it is already a rare honor to be able to talk to the queen, and even have a place to stay in the Qingning Palace. Who would push this decency out because they are tired? Besides, even if you don't accompany the queen, do you think you can go back? The Qingning Hall is still warm as spring, if you stand outside the hall and blow a cold wind all night, who will feel better?

The first emperor has only been more than a year, and the concubine is not good to attend this kind of occasion. Now there is no third lady in the harem, and Concubine Li Hui, the only one who occupies the position of the fourth concubine, is not good at words, and the nine concubines are young and inexperienced, so they are a little timid in the face of such a big scene. It's the princesses, the princesses of this dynasty are noble and decent, especially when the eldest princess of Dangli and the eldest princess of Xincai; The former has always been the favorite daughter of the first emperor, and after the emperor succeeded to the throne, he also showed favor to the eldest sister and made her the eldest princess; The latter got close to Princess Jiangdu, and when the king of Cangwu rebelled, she didn't want to, the first to arrive with the armor soldiers of the princess's mansion, and the emperor accepted her love, and also took advantage of the New Year to add a level to her, above the rest of the sisters.

Although Shen Man's body has slowly recovered, it has improved a lot, but it is not as good as when he was young. Ordinary Su Youke, when he arrived at such a big scene, he was a little tired, but his only daughter helped the emperor preside over the grand party and feasted the ministers in the previous dynasty. There is neither a daughter-in-law Chenghuan nor a daughter-in-law who is not close to her, and her granddaughter is too young, so she is frightened on such occasions and will not bring her. No matter how many people change their ways to flatter, Shen Man feels empty in his heart.

If you are a bystander, you may say that you are tired and end it early, but Shen Man is. She has a stubborn temperament, and she doesn't want people to speculate, and while she speaks, she doesn't forget to observe her surroundings, and her eyes naturally fall on Lu Zhaoyuan.

This look made her more displeased.

Lu Zhaoyuan seems to have settled down a lot, and people are more kind, and she can endure such an occasion. But Shen Man didn't pay attention to her person, but what was in front of her.

Shen Man knew how many pairs of eyes were staring at him, and he didn't treat anyone well, and he did everything according to the rules. The portions of the nine concubines are all the same, a few plates of preserved fruits, a few pastries, and the portion is not much, but everyone is not here to eat. Therefore, Shen Man saw very clearly, it was also a pastry that had not been touched, Lu Zhaoyuan's one, and the frosting was sprinkled a little more-everyone else was a thin layer, but her plate, the frosting covered the pastry.

On such a big occasion, Shen Man sent someone to keep an eye on it early, and he didn't allow the slightest mistake. The palace people were already frightened by the bloody purge of the previous days, and they couldn't wait to cut out their hearts to show their loyalty, and they also stared at each other, hoping that someone would really have bad intentions, so that they could denounce each other and atone for their sins. In such a situation, it is impossible for anyone to do anything, so the only explanation is that the people below know that Lu Zhaoyuan likes to eat sweets and has a heart.

This is the difference between having a pet and not being favored, a concubine without a favor, even if the example is placed there, although it will not be deducted and exploited, it is all picked by others. Those who serve may not be dedicated, but they all want to climb the high branches. It's different if you are petted, even if you don't win people's hearts, the people below will change their ways to please you.

Shen Man knew very well that the palace was different from other places, and in the palace, if he wanted to climb up, he could only step on others. The so-called tranquility, that is to have a certain status to rely on, no status but want to seek peace, will have to endure a hard life, once you encounter something, others want to push you out to take the blame, you have no way at all.

In terms of scheming, Shen Man may not be as strong as these people, after all, if she does something wrong, the consequences are generally not too strict, but these people are not, if she is not careful, she may lose her life, so she naturally has to be more cautious. Shen Man has long understood this, what she relies on is the advantage of her superiors, to put it simply, she is pinching the lives of these people. So she doesn't need to be smart by the people who take refuge in her, she just needs absolute loyalty.

This is also the point that Shen Man looks down on Lu Zhaoyuan.

Lu Zhaoyuan is a little clever, so she thinks that no one in the world can beat herself, and she likes Shi Xiaoen Xiaohui to win over others, if she really wants to post it upside down, she will think that you are very suspicious and will not use you. When the people found out about this, they would not post it at the beginning, but would find a way to make her notice of her existence, and in gratitude for her favor, they would naturally throw it at her wings. It's ridiculous that Lu Zhaoyuan still thinks she has clever means, but she doesn't know that what really makes her hot is not her so-called clever scheming methods, it's just that she gave birth to a good son.

The subordinates have the treatment of heart, and Shen Man also enjoys it, but these people may not have the heart of Lu Zhaoyuan. for they were in awe of her, and did not seek merit, but no fault; has a heart to please Lu Zhaoyuan, and he has done everything he can to do so. This made Shen Man extremely dissatisfied, and even more displeased Lu Zhaoyuan - this kind of behavior seemed to remind her that even if she became the queen mother in the future, Lu Zhaoyuan was just a concubine, and the subordinates treated her as the queen mother, and they might not treat the concubine who was the emperor's biological mother with all their hearts.

Even, if she dies early, this woman who is not as good as herself at all can still be named the queen mother, keep pace with herself, enjoy all the glory when she is alive, and even when she dies, she can be on an equal footing with her, sleeping next to Qin Ke together. And her beloved daughter, Qin Wan, who is also the only surviving child, has obviously done so much, but she is far less honorable than this woman's son, so she has to kneel at his feet and let him control her fate.

Just thinking of this, Shen Man felt an indescribable killing intent in his heart, and he was immediately suppressed by her. Because she knew that it was destined, even if there was no Lu Zhaoyuan, there would be Zheng Chongrong, or other women. As long as she Shen Man does not have her biological son on the throne, she cannot change this fact.

Although he understood this truth, Shen Man's heart was like being burned, and he slept unsteadily all night, staring at his husband's sleeping face, tossing and turning until dawn.

It was easy to get through the busiest few days, and the mother and daughter had a chance to whisper, and Shen Man said, "Bao'er, did you say that this winter is too cold?" ”

Qin Wan has always been attentive to his mother, and listening to Shen Man's tone, he knew that Shen Man was in a very bad mood, and he even had a little murderous intent in his anxiety.

Thinking of Shen Man's lack of appetite in the past few days, although Zhengdan is not good at making a clear attack, but there are already seventeen or eighteen main meals in the Shang Food Bureau that have been secretly replaced, and even Feng Yu, Zhichang and others in the Shang Food Bureau have been counted down by the emperor for a disheartened matter, and then think about when this situation started, Qin Wan has almost guessed the matter to seven or eight points, and said unhurriedly: "This year is indeed colder, and it snows more than in previous years." Bao'er is ready, and Boqing also sent Jin Wuwei to pay attention to the surroundings of Chang'an, and no one will have anything happen on the streets. It is said that Ruixue is a good year, and it is also a happy event to have a good harvest in the coming year. ”

Shen Man saw that his daughter did not agree, but persuaded her to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, thinking of his two sons who died young, especially the eldest son, his heart was as generous as Qin Wan, and he was sad and comforted: "You are very thoughtful in preparing for a rainy day, but you are still young, and some things may not be as you think." ”

What does his mother mean, Qin Wan has completely understood - Shen Man wants to use this winter to make Lu Zhaoyuan "fall ill", and then linger on the sickbed for a few years, and die logically. In this way, even if Qin Zheng wants to get close to his biological mother, he can only rely on his mother-in-law. What's more, after a few years, Qin Zheng can also accept the fact that his mother died of illness, even if he wants to find out the truth, Shen Man has a reasonable explanation. After all, there was a precedent for Concubine Xuanxian to go to Huangquan with a smile for the future of King Qi, and if she wanted to die, she couldn't blame others.

If you deal with others, with Shen Man's means, you can naturally do not know the gods and ghosts. But Lu Zhaoyuan is different, so many people regard her as the biological mother of the future emperor, if Shen Man really does such a thing, the future will ...... Which one to please the emperor or the queen mother, and the mother and son are not biological, I am afraid that nine out of nine people will choose the former, especially when they still hold such a big secret in their hands.

Qin Wan was angry at the fact that everyone didn't treat her as a human being, but in the end, she accepted it calmly.

What others think, it has nothing to do with her, she just needs to go her own way.

The hidden wish in her heart may not be acceptable to Shen Man now, so Qin Wan smiled slightly, and only said: "Although I am young now, how can I not mature in ten or twenty years?" "Qin Zheng has an age gap of sixteen years with her, let alone sixteen years, as long as she is given ten years, she can replace the four realms with her own people, and firmly control the most elite troops in the north and south provinces. Qin Zheng only relied on the identity of a prince, why should he fight with her?

Not to mention the prince, are there still fewer emperors in this world who have died in vain? What's more, Qin Wan would never give Qin Zheng any chance.

This is my country, with all my efforts and efforts to maintain, why did you take it away? Just because you're a man and I'm a woman? Don't forget, under the premise of "men and women", we are all human beings!
