After Emperor Hengde said that, the Queen Mother was not in the mood to eat, but Emperor Hengde was calm, let Shen Baibu vegetables, and ate a lot slowly, more like deliberately angry with the Queen Mother, and finally when he finished eating, the Queen Mother's face was already difficult to see.

Emperor Hengde elegantly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up and said to the Queen Mother: "My son has eaten well, and there are still some government affairs that have not been completed, so I will go back to Dongxuan Palace first, and the queen mother will recuperate in Dongxuan Palace, and the good days are still ahead, and when Rui Xuan succeeds to the throne, he will serve you, the imperial grandmother, well." ”

I don't know if it's Shen Bai's illusion, Emperor Hengde deliberately aggravated the four words "serve well".

The muscles on the Queen Mother's face trembled twice, and she stared at Emperor Hengde for a long time, stunned that she couldn't say half a word.

Shen Bai didn't dare to look at it at this time, lowered his head and obediently followed behind Emperor Hengde.

Out of the door, the cold wind immediately drilled into his body from all directions, adapted to the stuffy heat in the house, and suddenly came out Shen Bai was frozen by the cold wind, subconsciously shrunk his neck, and was about to look for an umbrella, Gu Hengzhou had already held an umbrella for Emperor Hengde.

He changed into a dark gold python brocade robe, stood as straight as a sharp blade that had just come out of the sheath, and stood next to Emperor Hengde with an umbrella, and his bearing did not lose the prince at all.

He stiffened his face and was expressionless, and he didn't even give Shen Bai a little bit of his afterglow, as if he was a stranger who had never met Shen Bai.

Brother Gu, is your acting talent a little higher than mine?

Shen Bai had long been accustomed to Gu Hengzhou like this, so he glanced at him secretly, and opened it with the umbrella standing outside the door.

As he was about to leave, Emperor Hengde asked in a deep voice, "Where are you going?" ”

Shen Bai turned his head in surprise, and when he saw Emperor Hengde's cold face, he immediately realized that he wanted to let him hold an umbrella, just like when he came, he tiptoed to hold the umbrella above Emperor Hengde's head, and Emperor Hengde walked forward, and Shen Bai followed step by step.

Back in Dongxuan Palace, the palace people were just about to step forward to help Emperor Hengde loosen his clothes, but Emperor Hengde asked the palace people to step back and stand in front of Shen Bai with their hands outstretched.

Well, she looks like a servant everywhere.

Shen Bai stepped forward to help Emperor Hengde undress, Emperor Hengde was diligent and thrifty, and when he came back, the palace brought charcoal fire to the house, the house was very cold, Shen Bai's hands were frozen a little inflexible, and it took a lot of effort to help Emperor Hengde take off the dragon robe and hang it on the drying rack, and then naturally brought the hot water next to it to help Emperor Hengde wipe his hands.

Emperor Hengde stared at Shen Bai and asked, "Where did you learn this?" ”

There is also a shelf next to the hot water, on which are hung bedclothes for changing, and the first reaction of ordinary people will be to take the bedclothes for Emperor Hengde to change into, but Shen Bai served the water first, and his movements were so skilled that he seemed to have been serving in front of the emperor for many years.

Shen Bai's movements were slight, in the previous life, she stayed in Dongxuan Palace a lot of times, and she didn't do much to serve Zhao Che Kuanyi, just now she had been thinking about making Emperor Hengde happy and not making a mistake, so she forgot to disguise.

Secretly scolding himself, Shen Bai raised his head, blinked his eyes and looked at Emperor Hengde innocently and suspiciously, and asked silently: Your Majesty, is it wrong for me to do this?

Shen Bai's performance in recent months was really surprising, Emperor Hengde was not deceived by her innocent appearance, looking at her eyes as sharp as hooks, he skipped the topic for a while and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to stay in Ci'an Palace just now?" ”

Everyone who knows the truth about the death of the first queen is dead, and His Majesty let me know that this truth will not be trying to kill me.

Shen Bai said in his heart, but his face was still innocent, and he shook his head ignorantly.

Emperor Hengde raised his hand and signaled Shen Bai not to stop all the time, and Shen Bai hurriedly helped him wipe his hands and put on his bedclothes.

After doing all this, Sun Yuehai brought in the unfinished folds in the imperial study and put them on the table and then retreated, Emperor Hengde walked to the desk and sat down, and Shen Bai had the insight to help him grind.

Her expression was flattering, but her movements were gentle and delicate, and the ink was well ground.

Emperor Hengde glanced at it before saying: "When I was still the crown prince, the queen mother wanted to let the eldest lady of the Jiang family be the crown princess at that time, because the relationship between the Jiang family and the Lu family has always been very good, if the eldest lady Jiang became the queen, the relationship between the two families would naturally be better, but on the day I chose the crown princess, I saw Queen Shuxian at a glance among the young ladies of the family." ”

Emperor Hengde had never told anyone about these old things, and when he mentioned them to Shen Bai at this time, his tone was very emotional, Shen Bai's movements slowed down, but he didn't look around, saying that he was listening to him very carefully.

"The Jiang family used to be the most powerful of the Zhaoling families, and in the first few years when I ascended the throne, Jiang De'an could openly disobey my will in the court, and even threaten me to make some decisions."

These are all things that Emperor Hengde did when he was young, and Shen Bai has never heard of them, but from Jiang Yinglou's current morality, it can be seen that Jiang De'an has been young and frivolous for many years.

"In order to stabilize the throne, Shuxian did not hesitate to persuade the head of the Wei family, let the entire Wei family and the Jiang family tear their faces, and stand firmly on my side, the Wei family, the Jiang family, and the Lu family are all very stiff, especially the interests of the Lu family are damaged, the queen mother therefore dislikes Shuxian very much, forcing me to fill the harem, Shuxian has a dignified temperament, and has a sense of the overall situation, she knows that she can't stop the harem from adding new people, and has been insisting on not crying or making trouble, and she has to obey the instructions of the queen mother to personally explain these things."

Shen Bai was raised as a man since he was a child, and his mind was not as delicate as that of ordinary women, but she had seen Gu Hengzhou marry another person, so she could naturally understand the mood of the first queen at that time.

The position of queen is extremely noble, and it is the greatest honor that all women can imagine, but only those who sit in this position know how much unknown sadness is hidden behind the infinite scenery.

"Later, Shuxian and I worked together to force the Jiang family to maintain the incense by raising children, I thought that the Jiang family would settle down and not cause any more incidents, but I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would listen to the traitor's words and plant people to poison Shuxian."

Speaking of this, Emperor Hengde's tone was a little more annoyed, if he could have been a little more vigilant and guarded against the people in the palace, maybe the queen would not have left him so early, leaving him alone to bear everything.

The ink has been sharpened, Shen Bai stopped and lowered his head to stand beside him, Emperor Hengde looked at her with heavy eyes, and said word by word: "You are smarter than I imagined, and your mind is not at all like what a young man of this age should have, I don't know what you are trying to do, but since you took the initiative to send it to me and Rui Xuan to make a knife, then I have to sharpen this knife faster." ”

Emperor Hengde said that he wanted to personally polish Shen Bai for Zhao Che, and then hand over Shen Bai and Zhaoling's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to Zhao Che.

Shen Bai's head hung lower, and Emperor Hengde continued: "Zhaoling originally had the four great families of Jiang, Lu, Li, and Wei, and now the Wei family has declined, except for me, Rui Xuan only has the support of the two forces of Zhenguo Gong and Taifu, and he will face the same predicament as me when he ascends the throne in the future, I want you to find a way to weaken the power of the three major clans of Jiang, Lu, and Li before I abdicate, so that the Wei family can be revived, can you do it?" ”
