The whole person fell to the ground, but Shen Nianzhen gradually came to his senses.

After listening to Yingge's words, she didn't cry out in pain, silently stood up from the ground, tidied up her clothes, and then raised her eyes to look at her: "Can I go in now?" ”

Yingge stared at her in surprise, looked at her silently for a moment, snorted coldly, and turned around to enter the hall.

Shen Nianzhen slowly raised his heels, and took out twelve points of caution to deal with it, when she saw the queen in the Heart Cultivation Palace before, she didn't do this.

Now that the matter is very clear, Concubine Qi doesn't know why she is angry, so she does not restrain the palace maids around her from scorning her and abusing her. Yingge's behavior is very telling.

However, why is Concubine Qi angry?

Was it because Rong Chen was accidentally injured in the suburbs before? It was indeed her fault.

But after so many days, Rong Chen's leg injury has already healed.

There were even some people in the court who did not know about his injury at all.

Of course, Concubine Qi, as a mother, must know, and it is understandable that she resents Shen Nianzhen because of this.

In just a moment, Shen Nianzhen had already had thousands of thoughts in his heart.

When she arrived at the main hall, she stepped forward and saluted without squinting, please be safe, and her movements were so standardized that people couldn't find any fault: "Nian Zhen see Concubine Qi Niangniang, Niangniang Wan'an." ”

However, after waiting for a long time, no one answered her.

Concubine Qi sat on the top slowly, holding an embroidered bandage in her hand, and slowly embroidered a green leaf by the bright light outside, as if she hadn't heard Shen Nianzhen's words, and didn't look at her.

Shen Nianzhen had no choice but to maintain that posture of asking for peace, motionless, and after a while, his legs were sore and unbearable.

However, Concubine Qi still didn't open her mouth to call her up.

Yingge glanced at her proudly and stood beside Concubine Qi.

Shen Nianzhen was about to collapse, she had maintained the action of asking for peace for more than half an hour, and before the whole person was about to faint, she finally heard Concubine Qi say compassionately: "You get up." ”

"Yes, Niangniang," Shen Nianzhen hurriedly got up, her legs numb.

Concubine Qi slowly put down the embroidery bandage in her hand, raised her eyes and looked at her seriously, she wanted to find fault with Shen Nian's really standing posture, but she looked at it for a long time, and she didn't pick it out, coughed uncomfortably at the moment, and pretended to be kind and asked: "The palace has heard about your family's affairs, and the emperor can reward you as the county lord, which can be regarded as your name, no one will criticize you in the future, and you yourself will have a longer memory, don't do anything criticizing again." ”

What's the criticism? She went out of the city as a woman to search for her relatives, did she do something criticized?

Shen Nianzhen really wanted to question Concubine Qi, if His Royal Highness the Second Prince disappeared one day, would she dare to go out of the city to find her son in person, as a concubine?

But she held back.

He replied reluctantly: "Yes, Nian Zhen knows." ”

"Roujia." Concubine Qi looked at her and said solemnly: "Since you have been canonized as the county lord of Roujia, you will claim to be Roujia in the future, don't call your old name anymore." ”

"Yes, I see." Shen Nianzhen replied.

Concubine Qi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said quietly: "This palace looks at your expression, doesn't it look like you're convinced?" Why, Your Majesty's commendation is not as important as the name given to you by the Shen family? ”

Of course not!

Her relatives are the most important people in her life!

Of course, Shen Nian really wouldn't say this, and when she heard this, she took a deep breath and replied: "Niangniang said that she laughed, Your Majesty's commendation, Nian Zhen oh no, Rou Jia is very grateful." She considered her tone and said very slowly: "It's just that I haven't changed my old habits for a while, so please punish my mother." ”

After saying that, he knelt down.

"Get up, it's not a big deal." Concubine Qi looked at her and said.

"Thank you, mother." Shen Nianzhen got up slowly.

"Give a seat." Concubine Qi said again.

When Yingge heard this, he reached out and moved a brocade stool and put it on the main hall, Shen Nianzhen thanked him, and then sat down carefully.

But at this time, there was a palace person outside: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has come down." ”

Rong Chen is finally here! Shen Nianzhen simply cried with joy.

She had seen Concubine Qi many times, but this time it was very embarrassing, so embarrassing that she couldn't stay for a moment. In this case, Rong Chen is the savior.

"Call him in." Concubine Qi's eyes fell on Shen Nianzhen's face, and when she saw the joy in her eyes, she lightly hooked the corners of her mouth.

"Yes, sissy."

After a while, Rong Chen strode in from outside.

"Son-in-law, see the mother! Mother concubine auspicious! ”

After Rong Chen stood up, he couldn't wait to look at Shen Nianzhen, and he was relieved to see her standing on the main hall intact.

"Roujia see Your Highness." Shen Nianzhen stepped forward and saluted.

"What's weird? It's still the original name that sounds comfortable. When Rong Chen heard this, he immediately frowned.

It was Niangniang who asked me to call myself so, Shen Nian really wanted to answer, but Yingge on the side came forward with a smile with tea: "Second Highness, it's so hot outside, you must be thirsty, drink a cup of tea!" ”

Yingge is a palace maid who has served Concubine Qi since she was a child, even if she grew up with Rong Chen, he has always treated this girl as his own sister, nodded when he heard the words, reached out to take the teacup, and then drank it all.

Shen Nianzhen watched him drink tea, and died of envy in his heart.

She's just been out in the sun for so long, and her throat is already smoking!

Concubine Qi glanced at her, and when her eyes fell on her son, she suddenly became a little more kind, and immediately reached out to pat the vacant seat beside her, and motioned for Rong Chen to come and sit.

However, Rong Chen refused, and said casually: "No, mother, I'll just sit with Nian Zhen." ”

After speaking, he told Yingge to get a stool.

The smile on Yingge's face suddenly froze.

There was no choice but to move a brocade stool, she specially put it away from Shen Nianzhen, but Rongchen stood up and walked over, moved the stool over, sat next to Shen Nianzhen, and said with a smile: "Mother, originally I was going to bring Nianzhen to greet you today, but I encountered some things on the way, I didn't expect the two of you to talk very well, what are you talking about?" ”

What is their good conversation?

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but glance at Rong Chen, and when he saw the smile on his face, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.

Are men so nervous? Don't you see that the dark tide in this hall is raging and the struggle is fierce?

I won't have a good time in the future!

"Your Highness, are you hungry? This is the osmanthus cake that the slave maid just made, you can taste it. Yingge brought a plate of fragrant osmanthus cake as if offering treasure.

Shen Nian really saw it, and his eyes lit up.

I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Rong Chen immediately reached out and took the pastry, and then handed it to her: "You eat it!" Let's put some bottom first, and later, the mother will prepare a big table of delicious food for us to eat. ”

His expression was full of joy.

Where could Shen Nianzhen bear to hit him, and nodded when he heard the words: "Thank you, Your Highness, but should you ask Niangniang first?" Maybe she wants to eat it too. ”

Concubine Qi's expression was faint when she heard this: "No, this palace doesn't like to eat those sweet and greasy things." ”

You don't like it? Don't like your personal maid to prepare a large plate of osmanthus cake? Shen Nianzhen sent out a soul torture in his heart.

Here, Rong Chen had already handed over the pastry: "Eat!" ”

Although Shen Nianzhen was very hungry, he definitely didn't have the habit of eating pastries in front of others, especially since the atmosphere in this hall was so abnormal!

But looking at Rong Chen's gaze, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she immediately reached out and took a piece, and whispered in her mouth: "Thank you." ”

"Between you and me, don't be so polite." Rong Chen smiled slightly, reached out and took a cup of tea from the Ying singer and handed it over.

Tea! She finally has tea to drink!

Shen Nianzhen cried with joy, this time he took it without excuse, and drank it in small sips, moistening his already chapped lips.

Concubine Qi saw their interaction in her eyes, her eyes deepened, she coughed lightly at the moment, took out a booklet from the coffee table next to her, looked at Rong Chen and Shen Nianzhen, and slowly said: "The two of you are going to get married in another year, according to the rules of our Great Zhou, every prince must accept a side concubine and a number of concubines before getting married, and the mother concubine has already picked it for you, so you two should also take a look." ”

Choosing a side concubine for Rong Chen? When she wasn't married?

Shen Nianzhen immediately turned his head to look at Rong Chen.

Rong Chen's face changed suddenly.

"Mother, this is all the old yellow calendar." He said helplessly: "A few days ago, the third brother got married, and he didn't set up a side concubine first!" Besides, isn't there another year left in the marriage period of the son! Why be in such a hurry. ”

"You say that, do you dislike the concubine too much?" Concubine Qi suddenly weakly supported her forehead with her hands and coughed a few times.

"No, that's not what Erchen meant!" Rong Chen hurriedly said.

"Then take your pick." Concubine Qi handed over the booklet.

Rong Chen didn't want to reach out to pick it up, his face was very embarrassed, at this time, Concubine Qi slowly reached out and stroked her chest, and said with a sad expression: "It's better for me to die, so as not to be disliked." ”

"Mother, what are you talking about! Who would dare to dislike you! ”

Rong Chen immediately became anxious when he heard this, hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the booklet, and looked down a little flustered.

Concubine Qi stopped her seizures at this time, looked at him with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said faintly: "You have just come of age, and you still need someone to help take care of it in the mansion, Yingge has been with the palace for ten years, and is a good manager of general affairs, and he is kind-hearted and mild-tempered, which is the most suitable for ......."

Yingge heard the master's praise, and immediately lowered her head shyly.

However, Rong Chen, the main master, didn't listen to a word, he casually flipped through the booklet in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at Concubine Qi: "Mother, I will take this booklet back and read it carefully, it's not early today, I'll send Nianzhen back first." With that, he stood up.

"Leaving so early? Won't you stay and eat? Concubine Qi said in shock.

"No, Erchen still has some things." Rong Chen turned his head to look at Shen Nianzhen: "Let's go." ”

Shen Nianzhen couldn't wait for a long time, and when she heard this, she stood up obediently and saluted Concubine Qi: "Niangniang, the courtiers will leave first, and they will come to the palace to visit you next time." ”

"Don't do it next time, you can enter the palace tomorrow."

Concubine Qi glanced at her weakly in her voice, and said in her mouth: "This palace wants to eat hibiscus soup made by the county lord of Roujia......"

"The hibiscus soup is actually very simple, and the ingredients used are also ordinary, so the courtier will write a menu and hand it to the Yingge girl, presumably, she will be able to make a soup that is more in line with the taste of the mother." Shen Nianzhen said quickly.

Concubine Qi wants to take this opportunity to get her into the palace, so that she can handle it, is she really a vegetarian?

She didn't want to stand at the door of Langhuan Palace every day in the future to bask in the sun, so that within a month, she would be sunburned to death if she was not tanned.

"That's ...... Isn't it too much trouble. Concubine Qi was stunned when she heard this, she never expected Shen Nianzhen to refuse.

"No trouble."

Shen Nianzhen smiled, looked at Concubine Qi and said, "Niangniang is the biological mother of Her Royal Highness, Nianzhen doesn't dare to hide her secrets." ”

"Nianzhen, the mother concubine wants to ......" Rong Chen slowly spoke on the side, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Nianzhen: "Does Your Highness also think it is troublesome to write a menu?" Actually, it's not troublesome, and it's written quickly. ”

After speaking, he looked at Yingge who was standing aside: "Can I bother you to get a pen and paper?" ”

Yingge was shocked when she heard this, and turned her head to look at Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi's face sank, and her two eyes looked at Shen Nianzhen faintly.

Shen Nianzhen was not afraid at all, and looked at her with a smile.

In the middle of the sound, Concubine Qi was defeated, waved her hand at Yingge, and said softly: "Do what she says, cough cough." ”

"Mother, are you alright?"

When Rong Chen saw it, he was very worried, and immediately said: "Why don't the ministers go out of the palace, can you stay here every day to serve the concubine?" ”

"Silly boy, you have so many things to do every day, how can you just stay here." Concubine Qi smiled weakly when she heard this, reached out and patted Rong Chen's arm, looked at him with a relieved face, and said, "You go and do your job, you just need to let your daughter-in-law enter the palace every day to have a look, and the palace will definitely be able to ...... Ahem! ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was another violent cough.

Shen Nianzhen stood aside and pretended to be stupid, and did not say anything.

"Miss Shen, are you so ruthless?" Yingge glared at Shen Nianzhen with hatred, as if Concubine Qi was Shen Nianzhen's harm.

"Am I ruthless?"

Shen Nianzhen said in surprise: "I'm not a doctor, staying here will not take the pulse of the mother, and the second will not serve people, so I can only go out of the palace to find a doctor with superb medical skills for the mother?" I did my best to die for my mother's illness, but you said I was ruthless? ”

"You're going to find a doctor for your mother? Naturally, there are two highnesses to do this kind of thing like looking for a doctor! You're just making excuses for your laziness! Yingge said angrily.

"That's it!" Rong Chen immediately reprimanded angrily: "You are a maid, what qualifications do you have to question her?" Shut up! ”

When he was angry, Yingge immediately retracted his neck, like a defeated rooster, and the whole person stood aggrieved.

"Chen'er, don't reprimand Yingge, she is also for my body............" Concubine Qi opened her mouth weakly, turned her head and glanced at Shen Nianzhen faintly, and said: "This palace does not have that blessing, and it is the life of this palace to be served by the county lord of Roujia, and it is the life of this palace."

Isn't it just pretending to be sick?

Would you, wouldn't I?

Shen Nianzhen knelt down with a plop when he heard the words, and was about to admit his mistake to Concubine Qi, when suddenly his eyes rolled, and the whole person fainted.

"Nian Zhen!" Rong Chen was startled, and hurriedly reached out to support her, so as to prevent her from falling to the ground.

Shen Nianzhen was lying in his arms, his eyes closed tightly, and when he got closer, Rong Chen suddenly found that her face was very pale, which was far worse than the one he received from her in front of the gate of Shen's house before.

Could it be that Shen Nian is really sick? Or poisoned?

"Someone! Hurry up and get a doctor! Just go! Rong Chen immediately turned his head and shouted loudly outside.

The palace people waiting outside the hall thought that Concubine Qi had an accident, and rushed out one by one to ask for the imperial doctor, and here Rong Chen had already picked up Shen Nianzhen and settled on the chaise longue on the side.

He also took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.

"Chen'er, what's wrong with her?" When Concubine Qi saw this scene, she couldn't continue to pretend to be sick anymore, so she asked in a pretentious manner.

"Erchen doesn't know."

Rong Chen raised his head and glanced at her, and said with a serious expression: "Don't mention the matter of concubines in front of Nian Zhen in the future, in this life and this life, I will only marry her, and I will never take a concubine!" This booklet, let's return it to the mother! ”

As he spoke, he handed the booklet back to Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi listened to what he said, and then looked at the booklet handed over, she couldn't help but be a little angry, and said with a slight tremble: "What are you talking about!" How can you marry only one! We don't have such a precedent in Da Zhou! ”

"There is no precedent, I am the precedent." Rong Chen said in a deep voice: "Don't persuade the mother concubine, I have made up my mind." ”

When Concubine Qi heard this, she couldn't wait to faint to death.

At this time, the imperial doctor was invited, and Rong Chen hurriedly greeted him in person, invited him in to check Shen Nianzhen's pulse, and stood aside to watch worriedly.

Concubine Qi was angry, so she sat in the top position and ignored it.

Yingge looked at this, looked at that, and finally, stood silently behind Concubine Qi.

After a while, the imperial doctor finished taking the pulse and said: "Second Highness, the county lord of Roujia is too tired, it seems that he has some heat stroke, plus he has not eaten and water for a long time, so he fainted, as long as he rests for a few days and keeps up with his diet, he will be fine." ”

"Too tired?" Rong Chen was a little unconvinced.

"Yes, there are still some signs of heat stroke, I'm afraid I've been standing in the sun for a long time." The Imperial Physician sighed with emotion.

Standing in the sun? That's a penalty station? Nian Zhen suffered a loss from the queen?

Rong Chen frowned tightly, a haze passed between his eyebrows, and then politely sent the imperial doctor out.

Concubine Qi was already a little flustered when she heard the words of the imperial doctor, and when she saw him coming out of the inner hall, she immediately gave Yingge a look.

"Your Highness!" When Yingge heard this, she knelt down with a plop, and complained with tears in her eyes: "The county lord of Roujia is disrespectful to Niangniang, so the slave maid took it upon herself to punish her for standing outside the palace for an hour, begging His Highness to atone for her sins!" ”

"Did you let Shen Nianzhen bask in the sun outside the hall for an hour?" Rong Chen really didn't think about this result, and his face suddenly turned black when he heard this.
