Chapter 308: Letters

Shi Qin's feet that had just stepped down the steps stagnated slightly, deepened his breathing slightly, and walked forward with a casual face.

When Zhou heard that Su Qianqiu was also coming, his face immediately turned cold.

The people standing at the bottom were even more curious, what kind of stunning beauty this Su Guiren was to make the emperor so favored.

I couldn't help but look back quietly.

Rong Shuo took Su Qianqiu's hand and walked into the main hall without any scruples.

Su Qianqiu wore a rose purple pressed red brocade robe and a thin winter coat, with his head bowed, led by the emperor, looking sick and weak.

Shi Qin glanced at Su Qianqiu, lowered his head and walked to the emperor, and saluted coldly: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty, long live!"

Rong Shuo raised his hand to signal her to get up.

After the queen got up, Su Qianqiu hurriedly stepped forward to salute the queen mother and the queen: "The concubine knocks on the queen mother Lafayette, the queen's mother."

As soon as her legs bent, there was a tingling pain in her lower body, and she fell into Rong Shuo's arms with a slump of her feet.

Rong Shuo smiled at her: "It's okay, do you want to let the imperial doctor take a look."

Su Qianqiu hurriedly stood up straight, and wanted to kneel on the ground to apologize and beg for mercy, but was pulled by Rong Shuo.

"Queen Mother, Qianqiu came in and felt unwell, so you can forgive her."

"Since you are unwell, you should rest in your own palace, why do you still run outside?" Zhou said coldly.

"I asked her to come, let her see if any of these people can get along with her." After Rong Shuo said this, he beckoned the eunuch standing beside him and said, "Go and move a chair for Su Guiren and let her sit and watch."

When Rong Shuo was talking about this evil, he kept holding Su Qianqiu's arm with his hand.

Su Qianqiu intuitively felt that his scalp was numb, and he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Everyone could hear what the emperor just meant. Only the emperor who Su Guiren has a crush on will stay, and the relationship is not to choose a concubine for himself, but to choose a sister for this Su Guiren who can chat and relieve boredom.

Those who dress up in a fancy, can't help but regret who will find themselves a strong competitor.

Zhou couldn't help but get angry after hearing this.

Rong Shuo never did this before, she was a good son, a son who was free to do anything, and a wise and serious son. How did it come to this?

In the final analysis, it was all caused by that Liu Ke.

Thinking of this, Zhou gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Someone will bring the jade Ruyi." After Zhou said coldly to the eunuch who was waiting for Yu Ruyi on the side, he interrupted the whispering between the emperor and Su Qianqiu: "The emperor should sit down and see if there is anything inappropriate for the person the queen has chosen for you. If there is no mourning family, the jade Ruyi will be rewarded and canonized on another day."

Empress Dowager Zhou's words made everyone stunned, even Shi Qin was stunned.

It was clear that the Zhou clan was firmly on the queen's side.

After hearing this, Rong Shuo stepped up the steps. Sitting on the dragon chair, looking down at the women at the bottom of the steps.

In the end, his eyes fell on Jia Nanqiu's body.

For a moment. He even thought he was wrong.

The one standing below is not the show girl to be selected, but Liu Ke before she got married.

After looking at it, I realized that I was not mistaken, although the woman's whole body dress was very similar to Liu Ke's style, but it lacked Liu Ke's cunning and stubbornness.

Could it be that she knows Liu Ke?

Otherwise, how could you learn like this?

Rong Shuo couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. The people who can enter the palace are the daughters of the incumbent officials in the stable, Liu Ke grew up in Boling, how could they know each other. There should be a lot of people in this world who have the same preferences.

Jia Nanqiu, who lowered her head slightly, also felt the emperor's gaze looking at her.

She straightened her waist slightly, raised her head slightly, and glanced at Rong Shuo. I saw Rong Shuo staring at her in distraction.

The two of them looked at each other and moved in their hearts, and Jia Nanqiu hurriedly lowered his head.

"If the emperor doesn't speak, then there's nothing he doesn't like?" Zhou Shi saw that Rong Shuo just looked at the people below and didn't speak for a long time, so he asked.

Rong Shuo came back to his senses and didn't speak, Zhou waved his hand and said: "It seems that the emperor likes the person the queen chooses for you, which also shows that the emperor and the queen and his wife are of the same heart and will reward the jade Ruyi."

Rong Shuo smiled bitterly and did not speak.

At this moment, a little eunuch came in from outside and replied, "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang has something important to ask for a saint."

After Rong Shuo heard this, he hurriedly said, "Got it, let him go to the imperial study and wait."

He stood up and saluted Zhou, and fled out of the Wenhua Palace.

Before he arrived at the door of the imperial study, Jiang Cheng greeted him, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the King of Shu and King Min, who originally said that they would return to the imperial court, will be called emperors themselves."

After Rong Shuo heard this, he frowned, and said fiercely: "Although the Central Plains has experienced conquest, it has not moved the fundamentals, why do they dare to act so boldly, do they think that the power of the imperial court is not enough to exterminate them?" It's really overwhelming."

With that, he hurried into the study.

Jiang Cheng kept up with Rong Shuo's pace, walked beside him, and said, "If we use the power of the dynasty, we can indeed exterminate the King of Min and the King of Shu together, but I am afraid that the Hu Five Clans in the northwest will invade at that time."

Rong Shuo also knew that his words just now were just a momentary anger, and after listening to Jiang Cheng's words, he said, "Does Mr. have any good plans?"

If it were a weekday, Jiang Cheng would definitely be. [,! Tell all the methods you can think of in your heart.

But this time he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no good way, if one of the two kings is obedient and the other is rebellious, we can still try, now the two kings of the southeast and southwest are independent emperors, we may not be able to take care of them."

Rong Shuo didn't know that what he just said was just angry words.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "I know, I won't let half of the southern part of the country give up, and sooner or later I will include these two places in the territory of Dayan."

After saying this, he realized that it seemed that he had never done a careful investigation of the strength of Min Shu and Shu.

He's too laissez-faire these days.

"Mr. Jiang, you send some competent people to Minshu and Shu to inspect the two places, investigate the people's customs and conditions there, and report it after the investigation is clear, we can't be prepared for Minshu."

Rong Shuo calmly finished talking about this evil. The corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth turned up slightly, and he arched his hand and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will do it."

He was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Rong Shuo, "Mr. Jiang, wait a minute, is there any movement over there in Wuhu?"

Jiang Chengdao: "No. Nothing at all?"

"How long has the edict of surrender been out?" Rong Shuo asked.

"It's been almost a month." At this time, Jiang Cheng also felt that something was wrong.

Although it is a thousand miles from Jianye to the stable. However, the messenger who delivered the edict rode there, escorted by cavalry all the way, even if he did not go quickly. Ten days can be reached, and a month is enough time for a round trip, but why is there no news at this time?

"You let Lord Yue pay attention to this matter, and you can also sue Lord Yue. His daughter is very nice, and I like it very much." When Rong Shuo said this. The face is expressionless, as if he is saying something that has nothing to do with him.

When Jiang Cheng heard this, the expression on his face finally turned into a big smile, and he knew that the current emperor would never let him down.

"Yes. Majesty xià-" He wanted to remind Rong Shuo that among the women who had recently entered the palace, there were daughters of whose families, but when he thought about it, Rong Shuo would let him pass on such words. He will be able to make good use of others.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng left with peace of mind.

Rong Shuo after Jiang Cheng left. did not meet the Wenhua Hall again, but went directly to the Qianqing Palace to review the chapter.

In the Wenhua Palace, after Rong Shuo left, Zhou glared at Su Qianqiu, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, and the anger in his heart did not come to a place.

But he was afraid that if he treated her lightly at this time and separated from Rong Shuo, he said patiently: "Su Shi, since you are not feeling well, go back to the Hidden Moon Pavilion to rest first."

Su Qianqiu couldn't wait to leave here quickly, and after listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you Empress Dowager Lafayette for your kindness." After speaking, he turned sideways and saluted Shi Qin, "Queen Mother, the concubine Su has retired."

Shi Qin couldn't see Su Qianqiu's hypocritical appearance the most, and when he saw her salute, he just hummed coldly and didn't speak.

After Su Qianqiu finished the salute, he turned around and walked out one by one.

Just as she was about to go out, suddenly there seemed to be a cold ridicule in her ears, she looked up sharply and turned around, and saw a straight and straight back standing upright.

This back is both familiar and strange.

She slowly walked out of the Mandarin Hall with doubts in her heart.

After Su Qianqiu retreated, Empress Dowager Zhou gave a few words of advice, and then asked Shi Qin to take them down.

After arriving at Chuxiu Palace, Shi Qin stood in the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace, looking at the flowers and branches all over the courtyard, and there was an indescribable sadness in his heart.

She has not yet sat firmly in the position of the queen, and there are so many people looking at her, and her life in the palace will be more difficult in the future.

After thinking of this, she sighed and said coldly to everyone: "Since you have all been left in the harem, you must abide by the rules of the harem in the future, otherwise, the mourning family will not tolerate it."

Everyone is called yes in a proper manner.

"Stay in the Chuxiu Palace and wait for the emperor's canonization."

After Shi Qin said this, he turned around and left.

The crowd had finished saluting, and there was no sign of her.

Three days later, Rong Shuo drew up everyone's titles and ranks, and when they got Zhou to let her see, Zhou couldn't help laughing.

"This is like what the emperor does."

After reading it, Mama Wu said: "Send this edict to the queen's Kunning Palace, let her also see it, our emperor will never be sloppy at a critical moment, and he will not make mistakes, let her rest assured."

The Zhou family has rarely been happy these days, and today is so happy, it must be that the concubines and concubines of the palace proposed by the emperor are in line with her heart, so she smiled and joked: "The emperor has always been pure filial piety, how could he have brushed the meaning of the queen mother."

Zhou said with a proud face: "It's not the mourning family's boasting, the emperor is a rare filial piety, not only filial piety but also a critical time to distinguish which is more important, this is not the blessing of the mourning family alone, this is the blessing of our Great Yan Dynasty."

After she said this, she hurriedly said: "Quick, let Yuxiang personally send it to Kunning Palace, so that the queen will also be happy."

Mama Wu smiled and said, "Yes, the old slave will let Yuxiang send it."

After Shi Qin saw it, he was not as overjoyed as the Empress Dowager Zhou, but he was indeed relieved.

On the second day, the edict was issued:

Canonized as a royal concubine - Ji Jia, the niece of Ji Rong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University.

From a noble concubine - Yue Ming, the granddaughter of Yue Qifeng, the squire of the military department. [,! ]

The two concubines are two - Wu Min, the youngest daughter of Wu Tianhua, the servant of the household, and Jia Nanqiu, the second daughter of Cheng Jia Yun in the imperial history.

In addition, four concubines of the third grade were canonized, and four concubines from the third rank were canonized.

Su Qianqiu, who is considered to be favored, is only named Jieyu of the fourth grade like the unknown Liu Zhen.

Judging from the candidates and ranks of the canonization, the emperor was completely a choice that needed to be made because of his politics, without the slightest personal feelings.

Everyone's scheming has been in vain.

None of the qiē in the palace escaped Liu Ke's ears.

Because there is a person who has been actively running between the palace and the palace of Chu Wangfu, that person is Rong Ming.

Every time she goes to the Chu Palace, no matter whether Liu Ke wants to hear it or not, she will tell her about the new things that have been born in the palace for a while, and then inquire about Liu Feng's news, although she is disappointed every time, but she always stubbornly holds on to a glimmer of hope.

On this day, after Rong Ming told Liu Ke about the things in the palace, she said: "It's okay for others, that Jia Nanqiu I always feel a little weird when I see her, I didn't understand it before, but I realized it when I saw you today, it turns out that Jia Nanqiu feels a little like you."

Liu Ke didn't stop the embroidery work in his hand, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his head and asked, "Oh, there is such a thing?"

As she spoke, she looked at the belly pocket of the child who had been embroidered in her hand for seven days, her face was full of disgust, and she threw it aside and continued: "Does it look like me?"

Rong Ming shook her head and looked at the embroidery that Liu Ke had dropped, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that God is fair, and there are things you can't do well, you better forget it, don't bother with this, look at your embroidery is not much better than me."

Liu Ke didn't like to be a female celebrity before, but the closer she got to labor, the more she wanted to do something for her child, but she did a lot of it unsatisfactorily.

Liu Ke dropped Fang Cai's words, threw the embroidery to Huai Xiang and said with a smile: "I'm really not good at this."

Rong Ming did Liu Ke's approach and said, "Haven't you heard from that guy yet?" It won't be a secret from me, don't worry, I won't tell the royal brother."

Liu Ke shook his head, and was just about to speak, when Huaixiang, who had just gone out, came in again: "Princess Shi, outside the second gate, Shi Bin spread the word that a great monk came to visit, saying that he brought a letter sent to the princess from the northwest."

As soon as she said this, Liu Ke and Rong Ming in the room couldn't help but stand up in shock. (To be continued)
