There are still four days before Shen Leng gets married, and the first thing that happened this morning is that the people from the Investigation and Nuclear Department of the Ministry of Officials went to the Yushitai again, and found dust in the corners of the walls and in the cracks of the windows, and also found weeds in the yard that had not been cleaned up, so His Majesty was furious and ordered the Yushitai to clean up for another day.

The second thing that happened this morning was that He Xinkui, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, confessed and admitted that he had accepted a large amount of bribes and arranged for unknown people to enter the west to welcome his relatives, so that the princess of the prince was attacked, and His Majesty ordered the Imperial Governor's Mansion to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Rites.

The third thing that happened this morning was that Yuan Shu, the general of the forbidden army, wrote a letter asking for punishment, and the foreign minister of the Dongnuan Pavilion could not kneel, and His Majesty ordered him to think about it, rectify the forbidden army, and impose a fine of two years, and his rank was reduced by one rank.

The fourth thing that happened this morning, the chefs of the eleven restaurants in Chang'an City gathered in the Yingxin Building and began to build stoves on the street.

Shen Leng felt very embarrassed, looking at the gratitude in the hearts of those who were busy for his marriage, it was a strange face, with a kind smile and hard sweat on his face, he was moved and wanted to cry.

Outside the restaurant, Chen Ran commanded a personal soldier to climb the tree on the side of the road to hang red lanterns, and the brothers of the sailor soldiers bought a lot of them back, saying that they wanted to hang the trees on both sides of the long street outside the door, so that the street was red from beginning to end on the day of marriage, but the personal soldier accidentally slipped and fell from the tree, and Wang Kuohai, who was standing under the tree and was always ready, stepped across, and the princess hugged the personal soldier: "Brother, the boats are standing firm on the waves, how can a tree fall down." ”

The pro-soldier covered his face: "You can put me down first, captain, you hold me like this, I have a kind of shyness that I shouldn't have." ”

Wang Kuohai's face turned red, put down the personal soldier and looked down: "The boots are all lost." ”

Everyone looked up and saw a pair of boots hanging high.

"I'll do it."

Chen Ran looked around and didn't see anything suitable, so he took off his boots: "It's not me bragging, when I was in Fish Scale Town with the general, I threw things the most accurately, and the general was not my opponent." ”

Aim, throw, especially accurate, also hung up.

Chen Ran looked at the two boots on the tree and found that they matched perfectly.

"Stupid or not."

Wang Kuohai glanced at Chen Ran: "Still blowing?" ”

Chen Ran's face turned red: "If I don't prove it to you, you really think that I haven't smashed a hornet's nest." ”

So he took off the soldier's other boot, and the soldier looked dazed.

Aim, throw, especially accurate, hung up again.

Shen Leng came out of the house and raised his head to look: "Are you thinking that when the boots are mature in the autumn of next year, you will be able to pick them again when they are full of trees?" ”

He glanced at Chen Ran: "I heard you bragging in the house, when did you win against me when you smashed a hornet's nest when you were a child?" Come, look at me. ”

Chen Ran subconsciously wanted to run, but he didn't run.

The rest of his boots were picked up by Shen Leng, Shen Leng took a deep breath and prepared to aim, then he was a little dizzy, looked at Chen Ran's boots and thought that he was really careless, why did he take a deep breath.

Shen Leng moved his arms, held his boots high in his right hand, stretched out his left hand to aim, and then threw them up...... Everyone watched as the boots hit the other with precision, and the two boots fell down one by one and hung on the branch below.

Shen Leng: "Otherwise, wait until next autumn." ”

Wang Kuohai said angrily: "I'll come." ”

When he went up, he hit the tree with one shoulder, the tree shook violently, and Chen Ran immediately shouted: "You light, what should I do if you break the tree, and you have to learn more from the general when you hit the tree in the future!" ”

Shen Leng sighed: "Draw your sword." ”

At this time, the shopkeepers of Yanyunfang and Luo Xiafei came together, and asked Shen Leng to try on the wedding clothes, before the tea master had been accompanied by the female relatives of the Liuyun Society, out of custom, Shen Leng and the tea master should not meet these days, so the two of them went separately, but the tea master lived in the single courtyard behind the restaurant, and the masters of the Liuyun Club were always on the periphery to protect him.

Not long after Shen Leng left the restaurant, Wang Kuohai finally shook his boots down after shaking the leaves on the ground, and stood there panting vigorously: "My shoulder hurts." ”

Chen Ran: "You're nothing, you go back and ask the general if his brain hurts." ”

Yanfu Palace.

The queen knelt in front of the Buddha statue and looked very sincere in chanting, but her closed eyes and eyelids moved one by one, obviously her heart did not calm down, after a long time, she let out a long breath of turbidity, got up, and stood up and walked to the inner room with the support of the personal maid: "What time is the beginning of the year today?" ”

"On the second day of the first month, counting today, there are still four days before the wedding of the prince and the princess of Tubo."

"It's also the day when the wild seeds get married."

The queen returned to the room and sat for a while, but finally couldn't hold back: "Go and invite Concubine Zhen, just say that I have something important." ”

The maid pouted for a moment, please Concubine Zhen?

Who in the entire Weiyang Palace and even the entire Chang'an City does not know that the queen and Concubine Zhen are incompatible? Although it is said that the queen is the mother of the world, but the harem is actually the concubine Zhen, His Majesty said back then, the queen is weak and not suitable for labor, and everything in the harem is subject to Concubine Zhen, and the queen suddenly wants to invite Concubine Zhen, which may alarm Your Majesty.

But the subordinates didn't dare to disobey, so they had to bite the bullet and invite.

After two sticks of incense, Concubine Zhen really came.

The two women met in the courtyard of Yanfu Palace, standing under the persimmon tree that was about to lose its leaves, the leaves on the tree were almost gone, and the plump persimmons looked a little tempting.

"What did the queen summon me for?"

Concubine Zhen saluted, and then stood up straight, compared to the previous years she had much more confidence in front of the queen, thinking that when she was in the palace, the princess was so strict with her that even people couldn't look at her, as long as the prince was not in the palace, the princess could always find her fault and punish her, and she remembered all kinds of humiliation now.

"How many years do you think you'll be able to hide?"

The queen looked into Concubine Zhen's eyes: "Are you very lucky that I failed to tear apart your true face back then?" Your Majesty is really good to you, and Your Majesty will believe whatever you say, but I believe that the day will come when the lie will be exposed, at that time, how can you still be beautiful? ”

Concubine Zhen smiled: "The queen has always felt that I am lying, and she has always felt that I am lying to Your Majesty, but after so many years, has the queen found evidence?" ”

"Yes."

The queen said in a flat tone: "From the first day you married into the palace, I saw cunning in your eyes, when you first met Your Majesty, Your Majesty saved your life, these are all arranged by your father who runs horses on the rivers and lakes, right?" You pretended to be a frightened little white rabbit in front of Your Majesty, and the whole palace thought that you were a poor little white rabbit, and that I was a vicious she-wolf...... I have beaten you and scolded you more than once, just to see how long you can pretend to be and how far you can last, so it seems that I really underestimated you back then, you are a fox, have you worked hard for so many years as a little white rabbit? ”

Concubine Zhen's face was a little unsightly, but she still tried her best to keep calm: "I don't care what I am, the queen hasn't changed for so many years, and she has always been the she-wolf." ”

The queen snorted: "You and I have been fighting for so many years, who do you think will win in the end?" ”

"Your Majesty."

Concubine Zhen's answer was very decisive and resolute: "No one can win Your Majesty." ”

"Where did you get the confidence to say that?"

The queen looked at Concubine Zhen: "If you really deceived Your Majesty, is he still the winner?" ”

"You really don't know anything about Your Majesty?"

Concubine Zhen looked at the queen with sympathetic eyes: "There is nothing in this world that can hide from Your Majesty, just like you said that I am a fox...... When I was young, I walked in the rivers and lakes, how could I really be a little white rabbit, you said that I was a fox, I didn't think it was scolding me, half of the things in the horse gang were supported by me, and I couldn't hold it up without a brain, but when people talked about foxes, they always only thought of foxes being cunning, but forgot that foxes also have sharp claws and fangs. ”

She looked into the queen's eyes: "But Your Majesty wants me to be a little white rabbit, so I cut off my claws and sharpen my fangs, and let you bully in every way, speaking of which, if I don't care about Your Majesty, I can't kill you with a sword and return to the rivers and lakes?" I didn't do that, just because Your Majesty didn't like it, Your Majesty liked me to be what kind of person I am, and you have done well, what Your Majesty doesn't like for so many years, you have always been what you are. ”

The queen snorted coldly: "But you still lost in the end, and the crown prince ascended the throne, which is justified." ”

"That's what you care about."

Concubine Zhen shook her head: "Maybe you are now doubting what purpose I came to Your Majesty's side back then, and I am willing to tell you again now...... What you care about is different from what I care about, what I care about is that I can always accompany Your Majesty, and the marriage of husband and wife in this life makes me satisfied, so I will endure you, what you don't know is that back then, the little master of the horse gang could also be cold in the nineteen continents with a sword. ”

After saying this, Concubine Zhen turned around: "If the queen has nothing important, I will go back first, there are still many things to do." ”

"I'm busy working for that Shen Leng's marriage."

The queen looked at Concubine Zhen's back: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Concubine Zhen turned around: "What am I afraid of?" ”

The queen pointed to the persimmon tree in the courtyard that had almost lost all its leaves: "Do you recognize what kind of tree this is?" ”

The corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Persimmon, lost child, this homonym makes people feel comfortable." ”

Concubine Zhen nodded: "I'm also very comfortable, this tree is in your Yanfu Palace, and I don't have a single persimmon tree in the Qingnian Palace." ”

After finishing speaking, she strode away, but no one noticed that her shoulders trembled slightly, and her face was not good at all when she walked forward, and there was no joy of the winner, and the queen asked her who you think will win in the end, and she said that it was Your Majesty, and that was because she knew very well that neither the queen nor herself could win, and she might lose many, many things in the end.

It's just that she's been putting up with it for years, and she doesn't plan to put up with it anymore today.

"This slut!"

The queen violently tore off the Buddhist beads in her hand, and the beads were scattered all over the ground.
