Chapter 303: Choosing a Concubine

Su Qianqiu sat on the corner of the bed with her knees crossed, yesterday she clearly felt Rong Shuo's disgust for her, it was not ordinary disgust, it was hatred in her bones, otherwise she wouldn't have treated her like that.

Thinking about last night, she didn't know how she survived, although she didn't like men and women before, but she had never been so afraid, she was really scared yesterday.

For her, where is the line &*room, it is obviously an execution.

Although she was reluctant to serve the two emperors of the previous dynasty in the past, she did not suffer such a sin.

In comparison, Rong Ye was much better to her than Rong Shuo.

But at that time, I was as if I was enchanted, and I only thought about Rong Shuo.

In fact, since the first glimpse, she and Rong Shuo have only exchanged letters, which is far from being comparable to Rong Ye's day and night.

She really didn't blame anyone for coming to this point, only blamed herself for being fascinated by Rong Shuo, and she didn't look down on his true face and delivered her heart out like this.

If she could have only held the idea of repaying her gratitude at that time, and had no other delusions, this would definitely not be the result now.

When Su Qianqiu was bowing his head and crying, Rong Shuo walked in from outside.

Su Qianqiu saw Rong Shuo standing in front of him, and couldn't help but shiver, and then he hurriedly moved off the bed, and before he could salute, Rong Shuo had already arrived at her and looked at the bruises on her neck, and said to An Ling: To the eunuch An Ling behind him: "Go to the Tai Hospital to find some ointment for Su Guiren to reduce swelling and relieve pain." ”

An Ling went out in response.

When he walked to the door just now, he heard Rong Shuo say to Su Qianqiu: "What, you are used to it, you can't even salute when you see me?" ”

There was a bit of banter in his tone, and when you heard it, you knew it was a joke.

After An Ling heard this. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but go up, and he walked out of the Hidden Moon Pavilion quickly.

Su Qianqiu in the room quietly raised his head and glanced at Rong Shuo, and saw that although he had a smile on his face, his expression was frightening, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "Concubine Su knocks to see my Imperial Majesty, long live." ”

Seeing this, Rong Shuo helped her up. "Get up!" So saying, he sat down on the edge of the bed.

Su Qianqiu stood tremblingly in front of Rong Shuo. didn't dare to move, not long ago, the person in front of her was still an infinitely beautiful longing in her heart. Standing in front of him now, there is a feeling of facing a great enemy.

However, Rong Shuo didn't stay long today, just lay on her bed and recuperated for a while, and then left.

After Su Qianqiu sent Rong Shuo away. Only to find that my entire back was soaked with sweat.

She slumped into the bed and fell into a deep sleep in a short time.

For four or five days. Rong Shuo would come and sit every day, and he would leave after a short time.

Originally, Su Qianqiu mistakenly thought that Rong Shuo would not be like that night anymore, but he didn't think that after the sixth day. She had another nightmare, and he ignored her telling him that his own Aoi water was coming.

Only after this time. He left, and did not stay overnight in the Hidden Moon Pavilion.

Su Qianqiu didn't know that it was Rong Shuo, so it turned out to be like this. Or is it because she hates herself * for giving other men this, if it is like this, then she is blind, if it is because of the latter reasons, she is willing to bear it.

Now that everyone in the palace knows that she is in holy grace, they will not think about what kind of crime she has suffered.

Shi Xiu in Kunning Palace, every day she can hear someone tell her about the emperor and Su Guiren.

At first, Shi Xiu was still unwilling, but after these days, she saw it.

Isn't Su Qianqiu a remnant of a willow who served the emperor of the previous dynasty?

Why is he angry with such a person, angry with his body, but he doesn't feel sorry for her in this palace.

So Shi Xiu seemed to want to open it, and only went to Cining Palace to serve the Zhou family every day, and didn't ask about the rest of the things.

But the Zhou family couldn't stand it anymore, so he instructed Mama Wu in front of Shi Xiu: "The emperor is also married, and there are so few people in this harem, so some people should be brought in to enrich it, otherwise it will be cheap for those things that can't be facilitated." ”

Mama Wu smiled: "Yes, or the Queen Mother feels sorry for Her Majesty, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there are a lot of military affairs that need to be dealt with. ”

After he had said this, he opened his mouth again, but when he thought that the queen was still there, he swallowed back the words that had come to his lips.

Shi Xiu couldn't hear what the queen mother meant, so he hurriedly got up and saluted: "What the ancestor said is very true, after this harem, only Sister Su is the only one to serve the emperor, it is really hard for her, and now that the palaces in the harem are empty, it is not like that." ”

The Empress Dowager Zhou nodded with satisfaction when she heard this: "What the queen said is very true, then you will draw up a charter." ”

After Shi Xiu heard this, the expression on her face froze, she had never done such a thing, she knew what the charter was, but the Queen Mother had already said it, so she had to come down first.

"Yes, Ancestor."

The Queen Mother's eyes swept over Shi Xiu's face, and she saw the subtle changes in the expression on her face, and said: "Since ancient times, as women in the harem, they have always suffered more grievances than ordinary women, because they have to serve the emperor and are the supreme people in the world, and it is precisely because of this that this man brings supreme glory to the women of the harem." God is so fair, you can't have it both ways. ”

Shi Xiu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What the ancestor taught is that the son has written it down. ”

"Alright, you can go down and rest." Zhou nodded, squinting his eyes.

Shi Xiu bowed and retired.

When she walked out of the door of Cining Palace, her face turned cold.

The people who were waiting around him also became extra careful.

Although the time after the establishment is not very long, Shi Xiu seems to have changed as a person, from ignorance and longing at the beginning, to discouragement now, and this period is only less than a month.

After she left, the Queen Mother Zhou said to Mama Wu: "It seems that you didn't finish your words just now, are you afraid of this queen?" ”

Mama Wu sighed and said, "Queen Mother, have you ever seen Su Qianqiu from the Hidden Moon Pavilion?" ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "How can the mourning family have the strength to meet." It's just a matter of hearing about it. ”

"The slave maid also heard that this Su Qianqiu seems to have served the emperor of the previous dynasty." After Mama Wu said this, she couldn't help but secretly observe Zhou's expression.

Zhou smiled disdainfully and said: "After the founding of the new dynasty, there are many things that the founding emperor has to accept the women of the harem of the previous dynasty, this is nothing, as long as the woman has no children, if there is a seed of evil, it is not good." Since the Su family has no children. What about the palace concubines of the previous dynasty. As long as the emperor is happy. ”

When Mama Wu heard Zhou's words, she smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is right, this kind of thing happens a lot. However, this Su Qianqiu and Liu Ke are cousins, and they look a little similar. ”

Zhou raised his head violently, and then said with a sudden expression: "So that's the case, but." The emperor has succumbed to Liu Ke's matter, so let's pretend not to know. He always had to find some solace for himself. ”

Mama Wu said with a smile: "What the Queen Mother said is that the slave maid means that the Queen Mother is not taking advantage of the matter of choosing a concubine to give that Su Qianqiu a name." In this way, the emperor will be very happy, and it can also deepen the mother-son relationship between the queen mother and the emperor. ”

After hearing this, Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly. The corners of his mouth lifted into a smile, and he was about to speak. Someone outside said: "Queen Mother, Lord Jiang is visiting." ”

Zhou's expression froze, he opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then let him come in." ”

After Mama Wu heard this, she went out to meet her in person.

Jiang Cheng bent over and walked in.

Mama Wu said to the eunuch Gong'e who was standing outside: "You all go down, it's enough for me to serve here." ”

When the crowd heard this, they came out one after another.

After everyone retreated, Mama Wu slowly retreated to the outside room and closed the door inside.

"Okay, when there is no one, there is no need to hunch your shoulders, and I have wronged you for so many years." Zhou said to Jiang Chengdao.

After Jiang Cheng heard this, he didn't speak, and said after a while: "It's all the minister's willingness, and the minister doesn't feel wronged." ”

"I came to you today for just one thing, you have been alone for so many years, and now the world is settled, and the emperor has registered, you should also find someone to be your companion." Zhou said this, and continued: "If you feel that you are unable to be energetic, the mourning family will worry about it for you." ”

After Jiang Cheng heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "After the love of the Queen Mother, the minister has been used to living alone for so many years, and he feels uncomfortable looking for someone, at this time, the Queen Mother still doesn't care." ”

After hearing this, Zhou's face darkened, and he said: "This matter is settled, the mourning family didn't call you to ask your opinion, the mourning family just sued you, the mourning family is going to find you a daughter-in-law, so you can get ready to face it." ”

Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at Zhou with a wry smile.

From her charming face, she seems to have seen the image of the stubborn little girl before.

After Jiang Cheng glanced at Zhou's face, he fell on her solemn queen mother phoenix costume, no matter how stubborn she was, there was no way to compete with fate.

He sighed and said, "In this way, Jiang Cheng will thank the Queen Mother." ”

The next day, Shi Xiu sent the charter he had prepared to the Empress Dowager Zhou.

After seeing it, Zhou was very satisfied, and said: "The queen is really smart, she is in charge of the harem materials, from this incident, the affairs of the harem, the mourning family will be handed over to you, you have to take care of the harem, share worries for the emperor, don't lose the queen's dignity because of personal gains and losses, you only want yours, you are the master of the harem, and other women are under your control, and this glory is given to you by the emperor, remember this, your heart will be calm, and your anger will be gone." ”

Shi Xiu was like an empowerment when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Thank you Queen Mother Lafayette, your son has been taught." ”

"Alright, let's get busy!" Zhou instructed the queen and asked her to go down to do things.

Rong Shuo also heard that the Queen Mother had arranged for the Queen Mother to choose a concubine for her.

He didn't know what he didn't know, and he didn't ask.

However, the officials of the DPRK and China are boiling again, and it is clear that this is another good opportunity to step up to the sky.

From time to time, Shi Xiu ordered people to go to the Shi family to hear his father's opinion.

Under Shi Jing's guidance, Shi Xiu did this in an orderly manner.

With something to do, she will no longer be sad every day, and she will have the majesty and bearing that a queen should have.

Early in the morning, she was leading people to Chuxiu Palace, and halfway through, she happened to meet the emperor Rong Shuo who came out of the Hidden Moon Pavilion.

Rong Shuo didn't know what he was thinking, he had a gloomy face since he came out of the Hidden Moon Pavilion, and he didn't see her until Shi Xiu arrived.

However, Shi Xiu had already seen Rong Shuo, and saw that he was wearing a dark wide-sleeved dragon robe, which was more serious and steady than before, although these days, Rong Shuo was as cold as frost to her, but at this time, Shi Xiu felt that his heart was still very useless and touched.

"The concubine knocked on the emperor," after these days of tempering, Shi Xiu's was calmer than before, and when she said this, her face was as calm as water.

Rong Shuo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard someone saluting, and when he raised his head, he saw that it was Shi Xiu kneeling in front of him.

"Get up." Rong Shuo said.

After Shi Xiu heard this, she got up and bowed her head and stepped aside, without saying a word, as if she was not the queen, but an outsider who accidentally entered the palace.

Rong Shuo glanced at Shi Xiu, and was quite surprised by Shi Xiu's reaction.

However, he didn't have time to waste his time on hers, just glanced at her and continued walking.

After Shi Xiu walked over to Rong Shuo, he took people to Chuxiu Palace to select harem concubines for the emperor step by step.

A few days later, the selected people were brought to the Queen Mother's side.

To the surprise of the Queen Mother Zhou, the people selected by Shi Xiu were all very dignified and delicate.

"It's hard for you, the person you chose is very good, wait for the mourning family to ask the emperor when he is free, let him see for himself." Zhou nodded while looking at it.

Shi Xiu bowed and said, "Yes, the Queen Mother's ancestor." ”

After she finished speaking, she took the selected people out of Cining Palace.

Walking on the road back to Chuxiu Palace, I saw a team of eunuchs holding trays in their hands, and walked towards the Hidden Moon Pavilion under the leadership of An Ling.

After seeing Shi Xiu, An Ling hurriedly stopped, saluted, and said, "The slave knocks on the queen's mother." ”

Shi Xiu nodded slightly, raised his hand and said, "Excuse me." With that, he led the people and continued to walk forward.

She just took a few steps, and then heard An Ling behind her say: "Give me this quickly, don't rub it in, Su Guiren is still waiting, if Su Guiren is unhappy, say a word in front of the emperor, you don't want to live." ”

After Shi Xiu heard this, he continued to walk forward without stopping.

Among the many show girls who followed her, there was a beautiful woman who couldn't help but pause a little after hearing the words "Su Guiren", and then a hint of sneer flashed on her face. (To be continued)
