Shen Xizhen, who had finished his lectures, was eating lunch in the rest room, when a father-in-law with a solemn and kind face walked in from outside.

Liu Qingniang saw him and hurriedly saluted: "Father-in-law Liu is good!" ”

Shen Xizhen also hurriedly got up and saluted.

She heard that Gonggong Liu was the most trustworthy person of Emperor Guangzhao, so she didn't dare to be the slightest slack.

"The saint wants to invite Miss Shen to come over." Gonggong Liu said to Shen Xizhen.

Hearing this, Liu Qingniang's face was panicked, she hurriedly looked at Shen Xizhen, but found that the latter was calm as usual, and her heart suddenly settled down a lot.

"Did the Holy Ones say anything about me?" Xizhen knew that there was no need to ask, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"I look at the look of the saint, it should be a good thing." Gonggong Liu had a restrained smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll go." Shen Xizhen then followed him to the Zichen Palace.

In the afternoon, the Zichen Hall was bright and clean, and Emperor Guangzhao, who had just had lunch, was sitting on a chair drinking tea slowly, and after listening to Gonggong Liu's report, Emperor Guangzhao said loudly: "Let her in." ”

Immediately, Gonggong Liu led Xizhen into the Zichen Palace.

After some etiquette, Emperor Guangzhao asked Xizhen to sit down, and asked Gonggong Liu to retreat.

"Miss Shen, I heard that you also have credit for the strategy of the envoy to the Three Kingdoms, but is it true?" Emperor Guangzhao looked at her and asked.

"Back to the emperor, it was just because the courtiers happened to meet Master Li one day and learned that he was an envoy of the Xi Kingdom, so they told him what they thought in their hearts, and they didn't dare to ask for credit."

"No, your credit is great, now, the Gong Kingdom, the Qiu Kingdom and the Zhang Si Kingdom are willing to trade with us, soon, our Xi Kingdom's handicraft industry and manufacturing industry will prosper, and the relationship with these three countries will also be closer, you have saved a whole country." Say, what kind of reward do you want? ”

Xi Zhen smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "If the emperor is willing, can you keep this reward first, and wait for the courtiers to make a few more meritorious contributions before giving a bigger one?" ”

Emperor Guangzhao smiled when he heard this, knowing that she would have a plan for her next, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Xizhen hurriedly got up and saluted to thank him.

"By the way, I like to hear you play the piano very much, how about you come to Zichen Hall every day in the future to play a song for me?"

"Thanks to the emperor's love, the courtiers will be respectful and obedient!"

"It's also because of your talent, and you don't have to be polite. Stand down and see you tomorrow afternoon. Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, see you tomorrow afternoon! Oh, by the way, does the emperor have a specific track? ”

"You don't have to specify, just give you a list of the tracks you're good at."

"Okay."

Xi Zhen then saluted him and retreated.

On this day, the crown prince Chu Zican went to the queen's palace to ask for peace and chatted with her by the way.

"Queen Mother, did you ask her son?" Chu Zican asked Empress Wenci.

"I've asked, but there is no marriage contract yet." Empress Wenci picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before slowly replying.

Chu Zican smiled.

"This matter is not easy to handle, prince, the marriage between Yue Yu and you is a matter known to all civil and military officials, and you have already recognized her, and now this Shen girl is more talented than Yue Yu, I am afraid she will not be willing to be your concubine." Empress Wenci saw the prince's happy expression and hurriedly reminded him.

"Miss Yue's side Erchen is determined to marry her and give her the title of princess, Miss Shen's side, since she is only fifteen years old, and there are still three years before she reaches the age of marriage, so Erchen now just wants to contact her first and see what she thinks before making the next step."

"Is such a passive thing what you, a dignified prince, should do?" Hearing that the crown prince was going to slowly cultivate a relationship with Miss Shen, Empress Wenci's originally calm expression immediately swelled up with a trace of anger, which frightened Chu Zican and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, please listen to Erchen's thoughts with you." ”

Seeing that her son cared so much about her opinion, she was very happy, so she smiled and said, "Okay, then what are you going to do after you sue your mother?" ”

"The queen mother also knows that Miss Shen is resourceful and resourceful, and she is a rare talent for governing the country, if her sons can help her, the country of Xi will not be prosperous, so even if she is given the title of princess, her sons are willing. Now that Erchen and Yueyu have a marriage contract in advance, Erchen certainly doesn't want to lose Yueyu's affection, so at the beginning, I'm afraid that I can only give Miss Shen the identity of a prince's concubine. ”

"But here's the problem, one, this matter has to be agreed by the emperor. Second, I have already said that with that Miss Shen's talent, she may not be willing to be the prince's side concubine. Three, even if she is willing, but as the saying goes: one mountain can't hide two tigers, and the moon ballad and her may be difficult to deal with in the future, you know. Can palace discord shake the country? ”

"Queen Mother, why are you suddenly confused? As long as the first of these three problems is solved, the other two problems are not a problem. Chu Zican couldn't cry or laugh.

"So, do you think the emperor has a good chance of agreeing?" Empress Wenci leaned over to her son and asked in a low voice.

The emperor's mind is unfathomable, and she can't guarantee that this matter can be discussed smoothly.

I think that at the beginning, the emperor had fought with Daddy Huaxian of the Moon Ballad and had a deep brotherhood with each other, so he decided on this family affair for the prince and Hua Yueyu early.

Naturally, the emperor is absolutely protective of the marriage between the prince and Hua Yueyu, so even if the emperor agrees to him marrying Miss Shen, he can only give Miss Shen the title of a side concubine, with her preliminary understanding of Miss Shen, she doesn't think that this Miss Shen can agree lightly, even if it comes from the emperor's order.

After all, this Shen girl is too witty, and the emperor may not be able to convince her.

Besides, this Shen girl knows how to do mystics. As soon as she thought of this, Empress Wenci felt goosebumps all over her body.

If a woman who is good at occult and scheming gains power and has bad intentions in the future, won't it pose a threat to the safety of the prince and even the country?

Moreover, with the gentle temperament of the prince, can he really bring down Miss Shen?

Therefore, in the opinion of Empress Wenci, this kind of woman who can call the wind and rain is actually more suitable to be an accomplice than a family.

But she couldn't bear to let down the prince's wishes, so she asked him: "Can'er, do you really like her?" Or do you just think she can help you make the world? ”

"Honestly, it's both. Mother, do you remember? The incident about the fate of the second prince. ”

Empress Wenci's face turned dark, and she hurriedly asked, "Who sued you?" How can that be believed? ”

"Haven't you been worrying about this matter all the time?"

"Nonsense, I don't take it seriously at all as your mother, don't be bothered by this kind of thing, remember, you are the crown prince and the future monarch of Xi Kingdom, this will not change."

"Queen Mother, even if this is the case, it's good to have a guard, just think about it, if Erchen marries Miss Shen, won't her mystics just help Erchen?"

Of course, Empress Wenci didn't know this, but there were two sides to everything, and she was still more worried that Xizhen's mystic arts would pose a threat to the crown prince, so she said lightly: "Then how do you want the queen mother to help you?" ”

"The child wants to invite the queen mother to talk to his father and see his father's opinion."

Empress Wenci's eyes suddenly became fierce. The prince was immediately silenced.

"Well, the Queen Mother will help you ask tomorrow." She replied after a deep sigh.

"Thanks to the queen mother, the child took his leave first. Oh, by the way, Queen Mother, tomorrow is your birthday, the child has arranged a play for you, please move to the Liuli Palace tomorrow night to watch. ”

"Okay, if you still have this heart, it's not in vain that I hurt you." Empress Wenci suddenly smiled and said happily.

Chu Zican also smiled and retreated.

"Tomorrow is the queen's birthday, take advantage of this day to invite her to tell the emperor, things will go a lot better." On the way back, Father-in-law Zhang comforted the prince with a dignified face.

"I hope so." Chu Zican smiled faintly and walked slowly towards the East Palace.
