Chapter 32: Empress Shen's Displeasure

The palace where Queen Shen lives is called Ning Bi Palace, because it is close to Ning Bi Pond and gets its name, it is a group of buildings composed of hundreds of pavilions and pavilions, between each floor is planted with all kinds of peony flowers and osmanthus flowers, Queen Shen is famous for liking peony flowers and osmanthus flowers, in front of the beauty building where Queen Shen lives, there is a unique peony in the world - Golden Beauty, a plant of nine pure golden peony peonies.

And in the back of the building, it is planted with golden osmanthus, it is August, the peony flower has already been gone, but the golden cinnamon has just bloomed, and the Ningbi hall is full of rich osmanthus fragrance.

Empress Shen likes golden yellow, her clothes and living utensils are all golden color, and even the beauty building where she lives is a dormitory with agarwood as the main material, pasted with gold leaf, and resplendent gold.

Queen Shen's name is Shen Qinyu, she is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, she is five years old There is a Taoist fortune teller, saying that she is very expensive when she is twenty years old, and she is extremely expensive when she is thirty years old, Shen Qinyu sent someone to find this Taoist priest a few months ago, but the Taoist priest has long been missing, the Taoist fortune telling is very accurate, she was twenty years old and named a concubine, thirty years old, that is, this year she was canonized as the queen, which made Shen Qinyu have to sigh, her fate is destined by God.

Shen Qinyu looks like a peach blossom and jade face, and has the appearance of captivating the country and the city, especially when she looks back and smiles, she is full of charm, and her soul-catching eye waves firmly tie the heart of the current emperor.

In addition, Empress Yang is nearly fifty years old, her body is very weak, and she is old and decrepit, Shen Qinyu will show her superb flattery, and in the past ten years, she has collected three thousand favors in one, and spoiled the harem alone, she and Empress Yang also fought for ten years, and finally won with the death of Empress Yang.

In the past few days, Shen Qinyu's mood is quite comfortable, last month, she was unwell, the palace doctor diagnosed it as a happy pulse, which made her overjoyed, since she gave birth to the queen of Chu twelve years ago, she has never been pregnant, I didn't expect that she ascended to the queen's throne, she was pregnant, if she can give birth to a dragon, then her queen's position will be stable.

Shen Qinyu knew in her heart that her throne was not stable, after the death of Empress Yang, the emperor was ready to crown her as the queen, but she was strongly opposed by the hundred officials headed by Empress Yang's father, Taifu Yang Sheng, Yang Sheng even wrote in blood, and then set up the queen, where to put the East Palace?

Not only was the crown prince and his family opposed, but even the neutral ministers were also opposed, and in the end, it was the emperor who overrode the public opinion, and with the full support of Uncle Shen's family, she was able to succeed in winning the queen's throne.

The key is in the East Palace, the queen's son is not the East Palace, which really makes the world discuss, this has always been Shen Qinyu's heart disease, now the emperor is fifty-four years old, every time he wantonly indulges, without restraint, her henchman and imperial doctor quietly told her that if the emperor goes on like this night and night, there will be ten years of longevity at most.

Ten years, this heavy number pressed on her heart, making her heart full of crisis, if her son could not enter the East Palace, ten years later, the prince would ascend the throne, which would be the time when their Shen family was destroyed.

"Niangniang seems to have something on her mind!"

Shen Ru, the niece who was sitting next to Shen Qinyu, thought that a trace of worry flashed in her aunt's eyes from time to time, so she smiled and persuaded: "I heard that when a woman is pregnant, her emotions will infect the child in her womb, and my aunt should be happy." ”

Shen Qinyu smiled reluctantly, "No! I'm so happy, where did you think of it, how could I have a heart! ”

Shen Qinyu glanced at her young and beautiful niece, and saw that she was dressed up extraordinarily enchantingly, with a rare shadow of her youth, her crystal white skin was full of young women's unique bullet surnames, her seductive eyes, and a young woman's vitality, Shen Qinyu couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in her heart, no matter how high her status was, no matter how favored she was by the emperor, she could no longer have the advantage of her niece - youth.

She knows the real purpose of Ruyi to accompany herself, this is the eldest brother's foresight, to let Ruyi fill the gap next to the emperor during her pregnancy, from the perspective of the Shen family, this move is understandable, but Queen Shen herself always feels that it is not a taste, because Ruyi is not temporary, once she enters the palace, she will not go out again, which makes Shen Qinyu very uncomfortable.

This is a very contradictory psychology, Ruyi because she is young and childless, she can't threaten her position as the queen, but Ruyi's feminine charm belongs to the same type as herself, and even her charm is not worse than herself, if the emperor is infatuated with her, he will gradually dislike himself.

On the one hand, the interests of the family, and on the other hand, her own crisis put Shen Qinyu in a dilemma.

"The emperor has arrivedβ€”"

The eunuch's long shout sounded outside the beauty building, Shen Qinyu immediately stood up, and straightened his cloud temples in the mirror, Shen Ruyi was a little nervous, "Auntie, I'd better avoid it!" ”

Shen Qinyu hesitated, and at this moment, Emperor Fu Xuande, the emperor of the Daning Empire, walked into the beauty building quickly, and his laughter like a bell immediately resounded through the palace, "I didn't come yesterday, did the queen complain about me?" ”

Huangfu Xuande is fifty-four years old this year, medium in stature, with a big nose like a lion, it is said that men with this kind of nose are energetic and full of ** for women, his slender eyes confirm this statement, his eyes always flash with a luster that makes women panic, and when he sees a beautiful woman, his eyes are particularly shining.

But his energy also shows that he has the ability to control the power in his hands, he ascended the throne at the age of twenty-four, and has been in control of this vast empire for nearly thirty years, he is not a mediocre monarch, on the contrary, he is shrewd and powerful, and he governs the country in good order, while also firmly controlling the imperial power.

Huangfu Xuande's most proud stroke is to support the Shen family, and Shen Qinyu to the position of queen, which is of course his great favor for this concubine, but the more important reason is that he cultivated an enemy for the prince, when Empress Yang was crowned in the harem, the Yang family was dominant, and the East Palace faction occupied three positions in the seven phases of the political hall, Yang Sheng, the father of Empress Yang, his brother Yang Mian, and Zhou Jin, the father of the crown princess.

Since the Shen family came out ten years ago, the position of the Yang family has gradually begun to waver, especially the uncle Shen Qin's vicious methods, living up to his high hopes, and Zhang Zhongqun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, joined forces to squeeze Yang Sheng and Yang Mian brothers out of the political hall, Yang Sheng was promoted to Taifu, and Yang Mian was the left servant of Shangshu, although the official position is not low, but there is no real power.

Now that Shen is the queen and the king of Chu has opened the palace, this has formed a huge threat to the prince, and the prince's attention can only be on how to keep his position as the prince, and he has no time to think about how to ascend to the throne, so that the throne of his emperor Fu Xuande will be as stable as a rock.

In terms of the imperial court, the two heroes of the East Palace Department and the Chu King Department fought, coupled with the Dragon Faction led by Zhang Zhongqun, the right minister, so that both the imperial power and the imperial power were under his control, which made Huangfu Xuande also have to admire his clever imperial power skills.

"How is the queen feeling today?"

Huangfu Xuande smiled and walked into the inner room, today he was ready to accompany his queen, unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the inner room, he saw Shen Ruyi who looked a little nervous, Huangfu Xuande's eyes suddenly lit up, and secretly cheered: Beautiful! It's a natural stunner.

It was the first time he saw Shen Ruyi, and the charm in Shen Ruyi's bones gave him a stunning sigh, who is this beautiful woman?

Shen Qinyu knew the emperor too well, and when she saw the kind of gaze that Huangfu Xuande looked at Ruyi, it was like looking at herself for the first time, and she couldn't help but secretly scolded: "Old pervert! ”

She smiled like a flower, and stepped forward to give a salute, "The concubine sees the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

Huangfu Xuande smiled slightly, "Zitong doesn't have to be so polite, since he is pregnant, everything is simple." ”

He couldn't help but glance at Shen Ruyi again, and asked Shen Qinyu, ".....Who is this?"

Shen Qinyu had to introduce him with a smile, "This is the concubine's little niece Ruyi, the daughter of Shenji who stayed in Xijing, the concubine is unwell, she came to accompany the concubine." ”

She gave Shen Ruyi another look, and Shen Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Courtier, Ruyi, see His Majesty the Emperor, I wish Your Majesty a healthy dragon and a long life!" ”

These words were taught to her by Uncle Shen Guo in advance, and her voice was very delicate, as if it had scratched Huangfu Xuande's heart, making him itchy and unbearable, and he couldn't hide the heat in his eyes, he squinted and asked her: "It turned out to be a Ruyi girl, I don't know how old I am?" Can you be married? ”

It stands to reason that he is Shen Ruyi's uncle and should call Ruyi his niece, but he didn't think about that direction at all, calling her Ruyi's girl, obviously, he was attracted to Shen Ruyi.

Shen Qinyu was just about to speak, but Shen Ruyi blushed and replied in a coquettish voice: "The courtier's daughter is eighteen years old this year, and she has not yet been allowed. ”

Shen Qinyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Ruyi to be so direct, neither calling her uncle nor knowing how to be subtle, which made her feel a little unhappy in her heart, so she lowered her face and said, "Ruyi, you go back first!" What I want, remember to bring it to me tomorrow. ”

Shen Ruyi felt her aunt's unhappiness, and her heart was gloomy, so she had to answer, "Yes!" ”

She gave the emperor another salute, "The courtiers retire!" ”

Shen Ruyi slowly withdrew from the inner room, but Huangfu Xuande kept watching her graceful figure leave, Shen Qinyu was even more unhappy in her heart, so she coughed heavily, "Your Majesty!" ”

Huangfu Xuande woke up at this time, and he laughed dryly, "It's the first time I've seen Ruyi, which reminds me of when Zitong was young." ”

Shen Qinyu was almost mad, she tried her best to restrain her anger, and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, is the concubine very old?" ”

"Where! Where! ”

Huangfu Xuande knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he smiled and hugged Shen Qinyu and whispered in her ear: "I want to hear the heartbeat of the child in Zitong's womb." ”

Shen Qinyu understood what the emperor meant, it was not dark yet! He's going to ..... And the doctor has repeatedly instructed that she is less than three months pregnant, and she must not have intercourse, Shen Qinyu has learned a lesson, five years ago, she was two months pregnant, that is, she had excessive intercourse and unfortunately miscarried, she still remembers the lesson five years ago, she must not repeat the mistakes of the past.
