Chapter 5 Staying in the Palace

Shen Nanyan looked at Mu Zhao, who was drinking with Shen Jin opposite, and felt a little pity: "So, Lord Mu's move has put Master Li in a dilemma." ”

If he agrees, his loyal and patriotic heart in this life will be difficult to give up, and if he does not agree, he will be ashamed of his parents, wife and children.

"Then why does the young lady say it's a pity?" Ah Ci remembered the original doubts for a long time.

Shen Nanyan smiled lightly and was silent.

Master Li is loyal and patriotic, honest and honest, which is really admirable, and she is just a pity for Mu Zhao.

He is as gentle as jade, gentle to others, loyal and patriotic, but unfortunately he is indeed the son of a man.

Mu Daren is a delicate person, and Fang Cai's words seem to be kind, but they are in a dilemma.

If this is something he said casually, it is not his style of doing things.

So, what is his intention?

"Then why does the young lady say it's a pity?" Ah Ci remembered the original doubts for a long time.

Shen Nanyan smiled lightly and was silent.

Master Li is loyal and patriotic, honest and honest, which is really admirable, and she is just a pity for Mu Zhao.

He is as gentle as jade, gentle to others, loyal and patriotic, but unfortunately he is indeed the son of a man.

Mu Daren is a delicate person, and Fang Cai's words seem to be kind, but they are in a dilemma.

If this is something he said casually, it is not his style of doing things.

So, what is his intention?

Song Heng's words quickly interrupted Shen Nanyan's thoughts.

"General Shen has guarded the border for many years, and now the people live and work in peace and contentment. After speaking, he paused: "Master Li reminded me with a word, General Shen has long passed the age of not being confused, and I will issue an order here, General Shen will not have to guard the border in the town from now on, just be a relaxed military attache in the capital." ”

General Shen hadn't reacted yet: "Your Majesty ......"

"Not long ago, Lord Shen also handled a beautiful case, and Lord Shen was promoted from the chief doctor to the young secretary of Guanglu Temple."

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were stunned.

Song Heng's words revealed two pieces of information. First, to take back General Shen's military power, and second, Shen Jin was promoted, from the sixth rank to the fifth rank.

This drop and rise, although the incident happened suddenly, but it controlled the emperor's technique extremely well.

Mingsheng secretly degraded, and the resignation of Master Li was also a reminder to everyone that he was not the first emperor.

The first emperor will take care of the old feelings, he will not, if he is resigning with hard work, it is a hint that the emperor wants to abdicate and make way for the virtuous.

"Wechen obeys." General Shen calmly walked out of the seat and thanked him.

It is worthy of a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan, and he still has this stamina.

However, Shen Jin was stunned in place, Mu Zhao secretly pulled his sleeve, and he came to his senses and slowly attended the thanksgiving.

"Excuse me." Song Heng looked at a blue figure under the table, and suddenly spoke: "In early spring, the peach blossoms in the imperial garden bloom very well, Miss Shen will stay in the palace to enjoy the peach blossoms for a few days and then come back." ”

The tone was light, but I couldn't see any emotion.

If it weren't for the fact that Song Heng took this opportunity to take back General Shen's military power, I am afraid that the expressions of those ministers would not be described as surprised now.

Miss Shen family, stunning face, cold and arrogant. The family background is illustrious, and the elder brother is an official in front of the palace, if he enters the palace as a concubine, I am afraid that the most favored jade concubine in the harem will have to abdicate and make way for Xian.

Today's emperor is handsome and extraordinary, and he is eloquent. It also matches Miss Shen, and if he favors Miss Shen, it is understandable.

It's just that when the time comes, they will only threaten to mislead the country with beauty and lust, and they will be dizzy.

And now, Song Heng left Shen Nanyan in the palace, which could only be to balance General Shen.

When the Shen family's power has been tilted for a long time, it is impossible to wait for death if it is weakened, than to take action, so leaving Shen Nanyan in the palace is the best arrangement.

It was rare for everyone to think of one place, but they didn't know that the answer in their hearts at this time was just a whim of Song Heng. Seeing Shen Nanyan sitting on the seat, he just said it casually.

"The courtiers obey."

The voice was still cold, as cold as a pearl and jade, and it couldn't help but make people tremble.

Everyone once again turned their attention to Shen Nanyan, who came out to thank him.

If the look at the banquet was attracted by her appearance and temperament, with admiration, envy, jealousy, and coveting, then at this moment it was with sympathy and compassion.

sympathizes with her being "detained" by the emperor in the palace, sympathizes with her father's military power, and the Shen family no longer has the power to favor the government and the opposition.

"Miss, did the emperor leave you in the palace to threaten the master?" Ah Zi worried.

Shen Nanyan returned to the seat, silently glanced at Shen's mother, who was still far away from him, with a worried face, and looked at the other side, Shen Jin was sitting there expressionlessly, but from his clenched hands, he could also see his uneasiness and impulsiveness at this time.

"Ah Ci, you can go and remind my brother in person later." She whispered in Ah Zi's ear.

"Okay."

Shen Nanyan sat quietly on the seat, letting others cast sympathetic glances at her.

However, after Mu Zhao saw that Ah Ci persuaded Shen Jin, he was idle and subconsciously glanced at Shen Nanyan. Seeing that she was okay, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

………

After staggering, Song Heng went to the imperial study, and everyone dispersed one after another.

As soon as the banquet dispersed, Shen's mother hurriedly pulled Shen Nanyan and whispered in her ear: "Yanyan, don't worry, your mother and your father will definitely come to pick you up from the palace." ”

Although he knew that his daughter was stable and intelligent since she was a child, and she was calm in trouble, she couldn't help but worry when she heard that her daughter was going to stay in the palace for a few days.

Shen Nanyan nodded in response.

"Miss Shen, the emperor specially ordered someone to vacate the warm pavilion of the east side of the palace for Miss to live in." Zheng Fuhai was specially sent by Song Hengzhi.

Shen's mother was helpless, knowing that now was not a good time to speak, so she nodded, and after saying goodbye to Shen Nanyan, she went out of the palace with Shen's father.

The moonlight was as cold as water, adding a bit of silence and mystery to the palace.

The palace building structure is prosperous, the pattern is complex and changeable, and beside the continuous rockery, the turquoise pool shines in the night, adding a bit of comfort.

Zheng Fuhai is good at figuring out the holy will, even if Song Heng doesn't say it, he has already arranged a special father-in-law to guide Shen Nanyan.

"Miss Shen, in front of you is the imperial study, where the emperor has a special office."

The father-in-law who led the way introduced them to the layout and structure of the palace in front of them.

Passing by the imperial study, there was a man standing in the wind not far away, dressed in white and with a long figure.

"It turned out to be Mu Gongzi." The leader recognized Mu Zhao and greeted him.

"Hello Father-in-law Xia." The people who serve in front of the emperor and the emperor will speak with a little politeness when ordinary people speak, but Mu Zhao is unique when he says it, and it will not make people feel flattering, let alone cold. Appropriately polite, gentle and polite.

"Miss Shen, don't come unharmed." turned to look at Shen Nanyan and said with a smile.

Shen Nanyan was slightly stunned, but quickly came back to his senses: "Thank you Mu Gongzi for the matter." ”

"Miss Shen is polite."

The two of them had nothing to say for a while, they should have retired, Shen Nanyan didn't want to leave so easily, and racked his brains to lead the topic: "Mu Gongzi is waiting for the emperor to summon him outside?" ”

She has always been cold, but she is also steady and self-controlled, but this topic is too much to say.

She was a little embarrassed for a moment, and her expression was slightly unconscious.

Mu Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, but the emperor is summoning others." ”

Shen Nanyan nodded in response.

Mu Zhao looked at Shen Nanyan and smiled warmly: "Miss Shen, go back and rest early, it's not too early." ”

The voice was as soft as a breeze, Shen Nanyan stared at Mu Zhao's face in a daze, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his handsome face was not affected in any way.

At this time, his laughter is a laugh from the heart, and it is no longer a hypocritical laugh.

She thought to herself.

This night, Shen Nanyan had a rare good dream, in the dream, she seemed to be in an ethereal paradise, no war, no intrigue, no exploitation and oppression of the world.

The water there is so clear, the sky is so blue, the streets and alleys, the smoke and rain, the smoke curling, it is really "the light rain in the heavenly street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass is close but there is nothing." "It's not too late.

The peach source fairy road is Miao, and the window is red and thin on a sunny day. She dreamed that she was sitting next to the Chen window and looked at the mirror with yellow decals.

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door, and the sound was rhythmic.

She opened the door, and a man stood outside, dressed in white, smiling at her.

She stared at him, disgusted, "Why are you here now?" ”

The man chuckled lightly and said solemnly: "When the good day is auspicious, Yingqing will enter." ”

He stretched out his hand to her: "Nanyan ......"

When she was about to reach out her hand, the dream came to an abrupt end.

She pulled back the curtain and stood up with her coat on.

"Miss? Another nightmare? Ah Ci handed over a cup of strong tea and asked with concern.

Shen Nanyan took the cup and took a sip, the smile on the corner of his mouth had not yet dissipated: "It's a good dream." ”

"Huh?"

Shen Nanyan smiled but did not speak.

"Miss, early in the morning, Gonggong Zheng sent someone to say that the emperor invited you to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers."

"Then change my clothes for me."

Shen Nanyan didn't hesitate at all, and immediately responded, even with a smile in his voice.

Maybe it's that dream, maybe it's a sunny day.

Her good mood is obvious.

Ah Ci changed into a white plain dress for her, with a little powder, and curved willow eyebrows, which added to the temperament.

The palace has two imperial gardens, one is located at the intersection of the east hall and the west hall, there are a lot of palace people who come and go, and the potted flowers and trees are also luxuriant, and the other imperial garden is slightly smaller, located in the southwest of the rockery, the terrain is low, the environment is also quiet, the scenery is pleasant, the flowers and trees are not artificially cultivated, but let them grow wildly, adding a bit of seclusion and tranquility.

There are few types of green branches of various flowers and trees, and one is lush green, only a few small purple flowers are dotted.

The curved vine branches meander down and wrap around the rockery, making the plants even more small and cute.

In the imperial garden, the man in the white brocade robe sat on the stone bench with his eyes closed, and only Zheng Fuhai stood next to him.

Although the man was dressed in white, he did not have a trace of warmth like jade, but added a bit of approachability and a bit of youth.

"The courtier Shen Nanyan participated in the emperor."

"No need to be polite, come and sit across from me."
