Chapter 265: The Emperor (Extra)

Shen Bai was most pitiful and cherished the jade, seeing Lu Xiu crying like this, he hurriedly took a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears, and said softly: "Don't cry, it's all a book like this, fake." ”

Lu Xiu was still sad in her heart, lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, Shen Bai didn't persuade her anymore, and when her emotions calmed down, she took her to Zuixian Tower to eat, the two ate, drank and had fun for almost a day, and Shen Bai sent Lu Xiu home in the evening.

Saying goodbye to Shen Bai and entering the house, Lu Xiu thought of the child, his steps were hurried again, and he hurried back to the room, and found that Zhou Xia was amused by the nurse and Chun Ling and giggled, and he didn't cry at all, but when he saw her come back, his eyes were wide open, as if he had found something terrible.

Chun Ling turned around, saw her come back, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Madame is back, Miss has already eaten, the slaves and maids play with her for a while, and Miss may be sleepy again if she is later." ”

Lu Xiu nodded, walked to the side of the bed and kissed Zhou Xia's cheek, her mood was much more relaxed than before, Chun Ling didn't dare to ask her how she was playing with Shen Bai today, for fear that she would be unhappy.

Zhou Xia fell asleep quickly, and Lu Xiu still remembered the play he watched in the opera garden today, the opera garden could not completely restore the battlefield, but the majestic morale of the bloody battle on the battlefield was vividly expressed.

Lu Xiu thought about it for a long time, but still went to Zhou Deshan's courtyard to know more about the daily life in the camp and the things on the battlefield.

Zhou Deshan is not a good narrator, and there will not be so many ups and downs, but the battlefield he shows is many times more cruel and bloody than what he shows in the book.

Lu Xiu chatted with him until late, and when he returned to his yard, he was in a very solemn mood.

Shen Bai didn't know what Lu Xiu did after he went home, and the second cherry blossom country came to plan to ask Lu Xiu to go to Zhouxian County to see the tea mountain together, but Sun Yuehai came to summon him, Shen Bai could only give up for the time being, and went into the palace.

There is no change in the palace and in her memory, except that she now dresses more naturally in women's clothes and dresses up as a woman.

Sun Yuehai has served two generations of emperors, and he is considered an old man in front of the emperor, and when he saw Shen Bai, he couldn't help but sigh, and said: "The sky in Hanjing has been turned over, and Madame is still the same as before." ”

"Why hasn't it changed, I'm a mother of two children now, and I have an extra circle of meat on my waist, which is a big change." Shen Bai said with a smile, there was more mother's unique gentleness between his eyebrows and eyes, but his eyes were still bright and firm.

Sun Yuehai nodded with a smile and introduced the changes in the palace to her.

Zhao Che was still in the upper court, and Sun Yuehai took Shen Bai to the queen's bedroom first.

The queen's bedroom is dignified and atmospheric, now that the queen mother is gone, there are few concubines in the palace, and when Shen Bai arrived, the queen was very leisurely taking care of the flowers and plants in the palace.

Sun Yuehai sent the people and left, Shen Bai was just about to salute, and the queen said kindly: "Madame doesn't have to be polite, come and take a look." ”

Shen Bai walked up to her and looked at the tree with wide eyes.

The leaves are quite green, there are a lot of branches, the queen's fingers are quite thin, and the kodan is also very beautifully painted.

Shen Bai looked at the point and deviated, the queen was so unconscious, and asked softly, "How?" ”

Shen Bai immediately said, "It's good-looking." ”

I don't know if it's a boast of a good-looking tree or a good-looking person.

The queen smiled gently, handed the scissors to the palace people behind her after pruning, and said: "This tree is not very suitable for the environment in the palace, this is the third tree raised in this palace, and I don't know if it can survive this winter." ”

Shen Bai has never had this leisure to make any flowers and plants, but he can still take this and say: "This is a complicated process, according to the courtier's humble opinion, if you want to feed this tree, you must simulate its previous growth environment, if its previous growth environment is like spring all year round, and the air is humid, in the palace it must be cooled down in summer, and it must be kept warm in winter, and it must be watered more on weekdays." ”

This was similar to what the gardener said, and the queen looked at her and asked, "Madame knows gardening?" ”

"A courtier is a rough person, how can she know such a delicate work." Shen Bai shook his head, "But the courtiers tried to move the fruits and vegetables from Mozhou to Yuanfeng County to plant, and they also encountered a lot of problems in the middle, thinking that the two should be the same, so she said a few words in vain, and asked the queen not to blame." ”

Shen Bai skillfully led the topic to the place he wanted to talk about, and the queen really answered and asked: "This palace also heard that you have done a lot of things for the local people in Yuanfeng County in the past two years, how effective are the results?" ”

Shen Bai immediately said: "Of course, the courtiers can't make a big deal by themselves, it's just a joke, but Yuanfeng County has a long sunshine time, and the winter dates are really crisp and sweet, if the mother likes it, this winter the courtiers will let the lady send a basket to the palace to taste, and the mother will not be disappointed." ”

Shen Bai's tone was cheerful, his eyes were expectant, quite tempting, the queen naturally would not refuse, the two talked slowly, Shen Bai was like a businessman, and he sold a lot of things to the queen.

Zhao Che went down to the queen's bedroom, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the queen pinching the silk handkerchief to cover her lips and laughing so that her shoulders trembled.

The time between husband and wife is not short, of course Zhao Che knows how dignified and atmospheric his queen is on weekdays, it is definitely the first time to smile like this, and then look at Shen Bai, although she is dressed as a woman, she is fatter than before, but her face is looking forward to Shenfei, and her virtue is not much different from when she was not married.

She didn't think about it like this, Gu Hengzhou didn't think about it?

Doubts unconsciously popped up in Zhao Che's mind, Shen Bai and the Empress both noticed his arrival, and both of them smiled and got up to salute.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty."

"Courtiers meet Your Majesty."

"Get up." Zhao Che said and walked over quickly to help the queen, then looked at Shen Bai and asked, "What are you talking about just now, making my queen so happy?" ”

The queen was a little surprised, but she didn't expect to be seen by the emperor after a little indulgence.

Shen Bai smiled flatteringly and said, "It's all some miscellaneous things among the people, and they can't be put on the stage." ”

Zhao Che sat down with the queen and said, "What chores?" I want to hear about it, too. ”

You want to hear everything, why are you so gossipy, Your Majesty?

Shen Bai slandered, and did not dare to show it on his face, and said: "There are two dogs fighting in the city, and one dog bites the leg of the other dog, in order to make Niangniang feel more fun, the courtiers learned to bark at the dog, and the mothers saw that the courtiers learned to be quite similar, so they smiled." ”

“……”

It's the mother of two children, and she learns to bark when she has nothing to do, what is this?

Zhao Che didn't let Shen Bai learn to bark anymore, talked to the queen for a while, and after lunch together, he took Shen Bai to the imperial study.

The weather is hot, there are ice cubes in the imperial study to reduce the heat, and as soon as you enter the door, a chill will come to your face, Shen Bai frowned slightly, and sighed in his heart, the emperor is the emperor, and the life is really comfortable.

Zhao Che is also looking at Shen Bai, she has obviously gained weight, she is not ugly, she is the kind of plump that is just right, frankly speaking, it is the kind that men in the world will like.

And her complexion is also very good, her eyes are shining, firm but gentle, without the sharpness of her youth, she is more gentle and calm.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Che raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you say that you were bullied in Yuanfeng County?" ”

Shen Bai didn't ventilate Gu Tingge and Shen Ruxiu before returning to Beijing, but wrote a letter to Zhao Che, in which he exaggerated, saying that she was bullied by those Diao people in Yuanfeng County.

Asked by Zhao Che at this time, Shen Bai didn't feel weak at all, and said very confidently: "Yes, Your Majesty, don't you know, those Diao people are ignorant and ignorant, and they make up bad things about me behind my back, ruin my reputation, and provoke the relationship between me and my husband and wife. ”

You're as thick as a city wall, and you'll commit suicide by throwing yourself into a lake?

Zhao Che didn't believe a word of what Shen Bai said, he didn't dwell on this topic, and said in a deep voice: "To promote the matter of the women's school, I will let the people of Tai Academy connect with you, just three months, if you can do it well, you can continue, if you can't do it well, just do it." ”

"This is quite difficult, it only took three months, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete it alone." Shen Bai said in embarrassment, this time is not a big deal, Zhao Che put back the music he had just picked up, looked at her seriously, Shen Bai did not sell it, and then said: "But to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for studying, it is not impossible, I have to ask Your Majesty for a small favor." ”

There was no mention of this in the previous letter.

Zhao Che frowned slightly, Shen Bai was not afraid of death, and continued: "After Your Majesty ascended the throne, there are only queen mothers and concubines in the harem, compared with the previous kings, there is really a bit of scarcity, and the courtiers dare to suggest that Your Majesty conduct a wave of drafts, Your Majesty is both civil and military, and the harem women naturally have to be proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and have the world in mind to be worthy." ”

Shen Bai first praised Zhao Che for a wave, Zhao Che didn't eat this, still looked at Shen Bai, Shen Bai cleared his throat and continued: "Your Majesty is diligent and loves the people, naturally he is not a person with a good opinion, even if she is an ordinary official girl, as long as she has poetry and books, she can win the favor of His Majesty." ”

Shen Bai's words sounded good, just to let Zhao Che use the draft as bait so that she could go more smoothly when she implemented the girls' school.

Who in the world doesn't want their daughter to marry the Ninety-Five, so that the whole family will follow suit?

Zhao Che looked at Shen Bai fixedly and asked, "You can also put your beak in the affairs of the harem?" ”

Zhao Che's tone was heavy, faintly angry, Shen Bai knelt down and said, "The courtiers are overstepping, please forgive your majesty." ”

Shen Bai's tone was sincere, and he lowered his head and didn't look at Zhao Che, as if he was frightened by Zhao Che.

The imperial study was quiet, and after a long time, Shen Bai heard Zhao Che ask, "Do you think how many girls are enough in my harem?" ”

How did Shen Bai do this?

Shen Bai slammed his head on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, Wen Taowu is strategic, and he is the pride of the sky......

"I don't want to listen to that." Zhao Che coldly interrupted Shen Bai.

Shen Bai's prepared words were useless, and after hesitating for a moment, she said truthfully: "No matter what, the women who the courtiers want to be elected to the palace are all people who can be liked by His Majesty." ”

Zhao Che immediately asked: "So how many people do you think I can like in this life?" ”2018

Who can say for sure?

People like Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou who admit death will only like one in their lives, and some of the gentlemen who are interested in seeing each other always see one and love the other, and the number of people who like it can't be counted.

Zhao Che is the emperor, it is definitely unrealistic to have a couple for the rest of his life, but to tell the truth, this is to say Zhao Che in disguise, who wants to listen to this?

Shen Bai wasn't sure what Zhao Che wanted to do, so he replied cleverly: "The courtiers don't dare to speculate. ”

It's the same as if you didn't say it.

Zhao Che's patience was exhausted, and he said directly: "The draft matter is widely implicated, and the manpower, material and financial resources to be consumed are also extraordinary, so you can't make a hasty decision and discuss it later." ”

Shen Bai didn't want to convince him at once, and immediately responded: "Yes." ”

Zhao Che said again: "Xi'er heard that you have always wanted to see you when you returned to Beijing, go and see her, she is not too young to run out of the palace casually." ”

Shen Bai nodded, knowing that Zhao Che was driving her away, so he retired and left.

The imperial study quieted down, and Zhao Che picked up the book again, but he didn't read a word after opening it for a long time, and after a while, he called in a deep voice: "Sun Yuehai." ”

"The minions are here."

Sun Yuehai entered the room in response and stood respectfully in front of the case, Zhao Che said with a cold face: "Take the one from the cold palace and arrange it to go to Lingzhao Palace." ”

Sun Yuehai was surprised, Ling Zhao Palace was where Uncle Guo lived before, and he hadn't entered anyone else for so many years, when he was beaten into the cold palace, Sun Yuehai thought that she was going to stay there until she died of old age, but she didn't expect that now His Majesty wants to take people out, what is this stimulating?

Although Sun Yuehai was an old man who had served two emperors, he didn't dare to ask about this when he had doubts in his heart, so he received the order and obediently led people to carry the sedan chair to the cold palace to pick up people.

The current cold palace is actually the dormitory where the first yellow throat once lived, and after the death of the first queen, this place was vacant, and after so many years, it was overgrown with weeds.

After Si Ruoya was sent here, except for three meals a day, no one cared about her on weekdays.

Sun Yuehai searched for a while in the cold palace before he found Si Ruoya in a corner of the dormitory who was looking at the ants in a daze.

She didn't have a good time here, she lost a lot of weight, and when she found that an outsider was coming, her first reaction was to hide, and Sun Yue's eunuch was clever and quickly pressed her.

Si Ruoya struggled desperately, afraid that she would be injured, Sun Yuehai hurriedly coaxed in a good voice: "Don't be afraid, girl, it was Your Majesty who asked the slave family to pick up the girl out, the girl was not sensible at the beginning, and she actually hurt Your Majesty, if this is publicized, it will be punished by the capital crime of the Nine Clans, Your Majesty is benevolent, and only locked up the girl for more than a year, and now that the anger has disappeared, the girl can't be willful anymore after she goes out." ”

Si Ruo's eyes widened, full of panic and confusion, and it took a while to react to what Sun Yuehai said and stop struggling.

The eunuch who pressed her immediately put her on the sedan chair and carried the person to Ling Zhao Palace.

Ling Zhao Palace has two palace people who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping on weekdays, and for fear that Zhao Che will suddenly come to Si Ruoya, Sun Yuehai transferred four palace people to serve.

The palace people first helped Si Ruo Aya to freshen up, although Si Ruo Ayaren was thin, his facial features were still there, and he was still beautiful after grooming.

After washing, Si Ruoya was hungry and said a few words to Sun Yuehai, looking still sober.

Sun Yuehai breathed a sigh of relief and went back to call Zhao Che.

Zhao Che just responded lightly and didn't say anything, as if he just suddenly remembered that there was such a person, and he didn't care what to do with her after she was picked up.

Sun Yuehai didn't dare to say more, and added ginseng tea to Zhao Che and withdrew from the imperial study, looking at the sky a little melancholy.

Your Majesty is young, why is it more difficult to guess now than the first emperor's mind?

Shen Bai didn't know these things, had dinner with Zhao Mingxi, and talked a lot about the folk customs of Yuanfeng County, which made Zhao Mingxi laugh non-stop, and when she was about to leave, Zhao Mingxi called her to stop, but she couldn't speak.

Zhao Mingxi wrote a letter to Zhang Jun, Shen Bai read it and let himself forget it, and waited quietly, and finally Zhao Mingxi didn't say anything and asked the palace people to send Shen Bai out of the palace.

It was not early to return to the Guogong Mansion, Gu Ji and Gu Ruansoft were sleeping soundly, Shen Bai looked at them for a while, asked people to send hot water to wash, and when he washed his face, he saw a small head lying on his stomach at the door.

Feeling her gaze, the little head immediately retracted, Shen Bai put down the handkerchief and walked out, and when Gu Shaoyin was about to escape, he grabbed him by the back collar and picked him up.

Gu Shaoyin fluttered his arms and legs, and pretended to be serious: "You let go of me, I warn you, if you dare to hurt me, you will die." ”

He is almost four years old, his eyebrows and eyes have grown a little, which is very similar to Jiang Qinse, but his facial features are patched together, and he is still more like Gu Hengxiu.

Shen Bai carried him back to the room, pressed him to the stool, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How?" Are you going to have my head cut off? ”

Gu Shao sighed, puffed out his cheeks and said, "My grandfather is the prince of Zhenguo, he will let people beat you on the board." ”

"Oh, I'm really scared to death then." Shen Bai said very perfunctorily, Gu Shaoyin's small eyebrows were twisted into hemp rope, and he tried to think about what evidence he could come up with to scare Shen Bai, Shen Bai poked his head and asked, "Do you know that Guogong is your grandfather, do you know what he is mine?" ”

Of course, Gu Shaoyin knew, but he didn't admit it, and said confidently: "This is my house, grandpa's most beloved person is me, you are just a guest who comes back to stay for a few days, and you will leave here with these two children after a while." ”

It's really a bad temper.

Shen Bai probably knew what kind of character Gu Shaoyu was.

Let go of him, drink tea and say quietly: "You are half right, I will indeed leave with my children after a while, but the Guogong Mansion is not your home, it is the home of the Guogong, you are only living here temporarily, and when you are eighteen years old, you will have to make your own achievements, buy a house to live in, and you can no longer live here." ”

"You talk nonsense! I will always stay here. Gu Shaoyin retorted, he was only four years old, and he didn't know what he could do when he was eighteen years old, but he instinctively resisted the situation that Shen Bai said.

He's going to stay with his grandfather all the time.

Shen Bai saw his strong support at a glance, and continued: "This house was earned by the Guogong for decades of fighting on the battlefield, and when he dies, the house will be taken back by His Majesty, if you don't buy a house to live in yourself, do you still have to go to Lai Pi with Your Majesty?" ”

Gu Shaoyu pouted and couldn't speak, he had never seen His Majesty, he only knew that it was the most powerful and powerful person in Zhaoling.

He didn't dare to go to Laipi's.

Gu Shaoyin's eyes were red, as if he had been bullied, Shen Bai pinched his cheeks, and didn't coax him, only raised his eyebrows slightly, Gu Shaoyin was crying so much that he wanted to leave here to complain to Gu Tingge, as soon as he moved, Shen Bai pushed him back to the stool, hooked his lips and smiled: "Don't you want to cry, cry out for me if you have any tricks." ”

Shen Bai pretended to cry with Shen Ruxiu when he was a child, and he could deceive Shen Ruxiu seven times out of ten, if Gu Shaoyu could cry with any new ideas, she also felt that he was a talent.

Gu Shaoyu had never met someone like Shen Bai, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so his crying was forgotten, and he said with a stiff face: "I...... I'm a manly man, and I should stand up to the sky so that I don't cry. ”

Shen Bai deliberately said: "Whose manly husband is so stingy as you, the aunt doesn't shout, and the younger brothers and sisters don't hurt, they only know how to grab favors?" ”

Gu Shaoyin's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said weakly: "As long as you don't rob me, I ...... I'm not going to bully you. ”

Older kids, who do you think you can bully?

Shen Bai poked Gu Shaoyin's head and said seriously: "This world has always been bullied by the weak, I can pick you up with one hand, why do you negotiate terms with me?" ”

Shen Bai's tone was too natural, Gu Shaoyu couldn't find the words to refute, he felt pitiful and helpless, and he was about to be expelled from the National Mansion in the next second, his eyes were red again, and he muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, you just can't bully me." ”

"It's okay if you don't bully." Shen Bai nodded, pinched Gu Shaoyin's chin to force him to raise his head, and ordered angrily, "Call the eldest aunt to listen first." ”

Gu Shaoyin didn't want to scream, but Shen Bai deliberately turned cold and said, "Don't want to call?" Then I'm going to do it, you probably haven't heard of it, in Yuanfeng County, some people will eat children, and children's meat is tender. ”

Shen Bai said with a saliva swallowing expression, as if he had eaten a child, Gu Shaoyin's hairs stood up, and he immediately exploded, and said loudly: "Auntie, don't eat me." ”

Isn't that good?

Shen Bai was satisfied, and was about to comfort Gu Shaoyin, when the servant walked to the door and said, "Young lady, the great commander has sent a letter, Young Master Shaoyin should also sleep, let the little one take him back." ”

Shen Bai took the envelope, and Gu Shaoyu immediately hugged the man tightly, buried his head in his chest, and didn't dare to look at Shen Bai.

Shen Bai thought it was funny, but he didn't scare him anymore, and opened the envelope with a smile.

Married to Gu Hengzhou for three years, and together for nearly two years, Shen Bai came back with the child this time, which was the first time that the couple had separated such a long distance and time.

Gu Hengzhou's letter was not focused, just asked Shen Bai if he had arrived, whether the two children were okay, and whether Xi was used to it after returning to Beijing, Shen Bai answered these questions in the letter, calculating the time of Gu Hengzhou's letter, it should have been written by Shen Bai after leaving for half a month.

Shen Bai couldn't help laughing, Commander Gu was thinking about her and the child.

Without her, I'm afraid that he and Zhang Jun's stuffy gourd will stay together all day long, and he won't be able to say a few words for a few months.

After reading the letter, Shen Bai Momo began to write to Gu Hengzhou again.

Who let this be the man she has loved for two lifetimes, she should be spoiled.
