That night, Zhao Jingyi got the answer.

A hundred years ago, the Shen family was also very prosperous, and there was a female prime minister who was in power, not only for more than ten years to occupy the favor of the emperor, but also to hold the imperial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the palm of his hand, and there are still records in the history of the wild, calling that period 'Shen Dynasty'. It is said that for decades after that, the royal family strictly regulated the draft system - to prevent the Shen family from entering the palace as concubines, this unwritten rule was not broken until the emperor was still a vassal king, he was different from others, he walked the world on horseback, belligerent and competitive, extremely domineering, what woman he fancied, he threw it directly into the harem, never cared what her identity was, and later ascended the throne as the emperor, slightly restrained, but the show girl selected by the Ministry of Rites has begun to have a Shen daughter.

Not to mention the crown prince, he was married as early as before the emperor ascended the throne, the crown princess was virtuous and virtuous, and managed the prince's backyard very well, but he couldn't control his legs. It's just that the crown princess has a very good wrist, where will the Shen daughter survive for a long time.

Zhao Jingyi has also heard a little bit of these, but she has never thought about Shen Tingnian, she also knew before that the grandson was pampered by the emperor and grew up, no one could force him, and if it wasn't for the emperor's poor health, he probably wouldn't want to get married. And none of these women can win special grace after entering the palace.

Today, I inquired about it and found out some inside information, but Shen Tingnian, she was personally written into the roster by her grandson, and she was also his first woman.

The crown princess's dislike for Shen Tingnian used to be hidden in the past, but now when she hears and sees it, she shows her clues.

"Niangniang, the slave maid also inquired about something."

Zhao Jingyi retracted her thoughts, sat upright with a calm face, and nodded.

Zhao Huan also told the matter.

It turned out that the uncle of the crown princess and concubine of the He family, who was difficult for Shen Tingnian last time, married the mother's family of the grandson Zhaoyi Shu, although the two had never interacted in the palace, but there was a relationship in the end, and it was difficult to say whether there was any contact in secret.

###

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the palace has been put on ice one after another, and only those nobles who can count the names are ranked in front of the arrangement, and the people in the provincial government can be called the real-time discriminators in the palace, who is most expensive and who is the most clear.

The current manager of the harem is Concubine Xian Niangniang, the only remaining one in the palace who followed the emperor from the time of the palace, the emperor has canonized a total of three queens, the previous queen died of illness three years ago, and then the harem concubines were managed by this concubine, she is famous for her kindness, not only for the new concubines who entered the palace equally, but also for the palace people are very generous, and because there is no child under the knees, a princess is raised in the palace.

Concubine Xian Niangniang likes the grandson very much, and naturally takes special care of the palace and the grandson palace, before the grandson's birthday, the emperor forgot, but she let people send a lot of congratulatory gifts to the grandson palace, even if the imperial dining room 10,000 dares not dare to snub the grandson, but she will always instruct the imperial dining room to give the Taisun Palace the freshest things.

There were four places in the Taisun Palace last year that there were ice offerings, the Qianqiu Hall where the Taisun lived, the Luanyi Palace where the Taisun Concubine lived, the Haoyue Pavilion where the two Ye sisters lived on the Taisun side concubine, and the Yanxiu Palace where the Taisun Zhaoyi Shu family lived.

This year is also arranged.

Changxinyuan Bamboo Forest.

Shen Tingnian has not been afraid of the cold since he was a child, but he couldn't stand the heat, and he went to Luanyi Palace in the morning to ask for peace, and the whole person was like a flower that withered and rolled up without water.

Zhiya and Xiaoxiao took turns fanning her, but the bamboo forest was still cool in the morning, and she couldn't stay after the hour.

"Mother, it's time, it's time to go in."

Min Yun came over with a pot of cold water with ice, and poured a bowl for Shen Tingnian first, and Zhiya and Xiaoxiao also shared bowls to drink.

If there is no other activity in the palace, life is generally very boring, so please eat and sleep.

And the most recent event was the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen Tingnian hid in Changxin Garden and didn't go out.

The next event is the six-day festival in June, and there are so many people in the palace that they can't be bored all day, and they have to entertain when they are free, so all kinds of festivals will be celebrated.

A bowl of cold water was drunk, and she only supported her into the house, and her back was wet from the heat of the stone road for a short while, so she had no choice but to change her clothes.

The white gauze skirt as thin as a cicada's wings was quite cool on his body, and Shen Tingnian collapsed on the bamboo couch soaked in cold water and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I don't remember it being so hot in previous years." The shoots moved in and out of the water, and the hot hair was dripping with sweat.

Shen Tingnian nodded in agreement, before this arrived at the big potato, she already felt that it was difficult.

Xiaoxiao took the water from the bucket of branches and sprouts and sprinkled it in the house over and over again, so it was finally a little colder.

After a while, Shen Tingnian turned over, and she beckoned to Min Yun, who was busy reorganizing Xia Shan, obviously not even wanting to speak.

And Min Yun put it down and came back to life, and said softly: "What's the matter, is it still too hot?" ”

"Hand the sign out......"

Shen Tingnian was lying on the bamboo couch, half-squinting, he couldn't live anymore, so he had to find a way.

###

Everyone is tired in the summer, Shen Tingnian doesn't like to serve people in the summer, and obviously the grandson doesn't like to be served in the summer, so every summer is also the period when he sets foot in the harem at least.

On the day of the Tianzhen Festival, each palace has distributed cold noodles and desserts to cool off the heat, and some palaces have a banquet, a group of women dressed up in flowers and branches, the banquet is a wine order, and after the banquet plays with a pitcher, bet on a small amount of money to guess the size...... Needless to say, it's lively.

There is also a banquet in the Taisun Palace, and Zhao Jingyi does not often gather everyone, which is occasional, and everyone will come.

Shen Tingnian didn't sleep well at night, she got up late in the morning, and when she came to invite An to arrange the banquet in the Luanyi Palace, she was left by Zhao Jingyi, so when Concubine Taisun and others came to eat, they saw that she was also there, and three or five people gathered around to make fun.

"This sister is not new here." As soon as the concubine opened her voice in a loud voice, several people laughed out loud.

Shen Tingnian stood prettyly in a tender green shuttered skirt, the unpowdered plain white was delicate and shiny, if it wasn't for the natural beauty, who would dare to go out like this.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I'm here to enjoy the cold." ”

Unexpectedly, she would still laugh, with red lips and bright teeth, slender eyebrows and big eyes, the princess and the others couldn't laugh immediately, and the crown princess Chen, who had just approached, looked at Shen Tingnian in surprise, probably not expecting that she would laugh at herself Changxinyuan without ice offerings, and come to Luanyi Palace to enjoy the coolness.

The Chen family, who was also troubled by the bitter summer, has always felt that this matter is extremely embarrassing, the Taisun Concubine Ye's sisters' mother's family has the money to afford ice, and the Taisun Zhaoyi Shu family background is there, and the degree of food and clothing is comparable to that of the Taisun Concubine Zhao Jingyi, but she is the only one who has the false name of the Taisun Side Concubine.

"No wonder Sister Jieyu goes out like this, and she can't hang up her makeup when she dares to be emotional." Taisun beauty Yu pretended to be innocent and blinked, "It's better to move to Yanxiu Palace to live." ”
