Chapter 535
It took Su Shangqing a long time to digest this matter, he just wanted to hear what they would say about him, but he didn't expect to hear this shocking secret.
No wonder at that time, there were a lot fewer palace people at the gate of Qianning Palace, and they must not dare to talk about this matter in their palace, right?
It's just that he saw that Qi Wangshu was about to leave the palace at that time, so he hurriedly told a few words.
I don't know what they usually say in the palace, these things can be said nonsense at the palace gate in their eyes.
You must have never suffered this loss, right?
Yuebai helped Liang Huanqing in, Su Shangqing was still squatting at the door, she was frightened for a while, she didn't know what to do, it was the first time she heard such shocking news since she entered the palace for so long, Shen Shu actually had an affair with a courtier outside the palace......
But Shen Shu, isn't she the concubine of the first emperor?
In this way, Shen Shu is in love......
Su Shangqing squatted until her legs were numb, and then she realized what she was doing, and then she carefully recalled what they said, if nothing else, if Liang Lin entered the palace to see the queen the day after tomorrow, then it would be time for Shen Shu to meet the courtier.
Su Shangqing settled down, and then looked at the closed gate of Qianning Palace, left and right to see that there was no one, on weekdays, because there was a child in the womb, Su Shangqing, who walked cautiously, was actually trotting like a fly at this time, and she suddenly had a very exciting idea in her heart.
Er Xin didn't know what was going on, Concubine Shu didn't allow her to follow, she could only wait at the gate of a small palace in Yongdao, during which she also secretly poked her head out to see, but she couldn't see anything clearly, only to see that someone seemed to come out at the gate of Qianning Palace, and Concubine Shuniang squatted behind the small stone statue next to her, as if she was eavesdropping on something.
Su Shangqing trotted to the gate of the small palace, and after seeing Er Xin, he panted and said, "Quick, go back to the palace!" ”
Seeing Concubine Niangniang's appearance, Er Xin asked vigilantly: "Concubine Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Then I looked at the back, the empty road, at this time it was the time to complete the cleaning, and besides, in order to be clean, in addition to the usual cleaning and guard inspection, the palace people are not allowed to go from this side, it is also the honor of the middle palace, and there is no one to see on this way.
Su Shangqing knew that he had nothing to rely on in the palace, and when he was a concubine at the beginning, because there was news that he had an heir in his belly, the wives of the clan relatives would also come over to say a few more words to him, but now slowly, it took only two months for Ganquan Palace to go from the door to the door.
And she has been in the palace for two months, and the child in her womb is about to be four months old, Su Shangqing has experienced the joys and ups and downs of life, and no one understands how much she has six gods and no master in her heart.
Therefore, Su Shangqing has no credible person, no one who really trusts, and all this he does is for himself and the child in his belly.
At that time, at the feast of the Chongyang Festival, Su Shangqing accompanied the emperor to attend the Chongyang family banquet, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, in fact, he had seen some of them, but he had no impression.
Su Shangqing was the emperor's favorite concubine at that time, and her favorite concubines on weekdays always wrote their self-confidence and decency in their gestures, but when she saw so many Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces that day, she couldn't help but compare herself with the queen mother of Qianning Palace.
If it is the queen mother, she must be able to recognize most of the people in this Manchu Dynasty, because she herself grew up in such an environment, half of the old courtiers in the court have watched the queen mother grow up with their own eyes, and Qin Yuandao is like this, he treats her as his own daughter.
Above the court, Su Shangqing is not the queen, but when the queen was alive, he accompanied the emperor to attend the state banquet, such a rebellious behavior did make everyone a little unconvinced, when Su Shangqing realized this, he was very flustered, but he also pretended to be calm.
When Concubine Shen said those words in front of everyone, Su Shangqing didn't dare to say a word, she knew that there were many rules in the palace, and she would make mistakes in every step, and that kind of scene made her very embarrassed, and she didn't know what to do.
Qi Jingqin simply protected her, not letting her lose face in front of everyone, and she would not be so flustered that she lost her sense of proportion, which has always been in Su Shangqing's heart.
She envied that the queen mother could be calm and calm in such a scene, and she also envied that the queen mother was still supported by so many people, she didn't dare to imagine that if the emperor was not there, there was only one master left in the palace, what should she do, in the face of such a mess, what should she do?
I think the queen has also tasted the feeling of being isolated and helpless.
But now, it is Su Shangqing who is isolated, she is in the palace, no, there is no one who can be trusted in the entire Shangjing City, she knows that the relationship in the palace is complicated, and it is impossible for her to reach out to every corner that she can't see, so she chooses not to believe anyone.
Er Xin can be regarded as a person she can trust, at least in life, Er Xin is attentive to everything, and it is very good that he can take care of her mind, so Su Shangqing is also relieved to let Er Xin take care of herself and the child in her belly.
But being willing to rely on her in life doesn't mean you'll be able to tell her everything.
What Su Shangqing heard today, even Su Shangqing himself knows, the less people know about this matter, the more beneficial it is for him.
This means that no one knows about it, so she can make a fuss about it.
In the face of Erxin's question, Su Shangqing did not plan to tell the truth, if this matter was told to her, then there was a risk of being known, if the queen mother knew, her unexpected gain would be in vain.
Su Shangqing shook her head, she covered her stomach and pretended to be in pain, and said, "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, go back to the palace quickly!" ”
When Er Xin heard this, he saw that there seemed to be dense beads of sweat on the forehead of the concubine, so he hurriedly helped the concubine, and then looked in the direction of the Qianning Palace and said, "Then let's not go to the queen's mother?" ”
Su Shangqing glanced at her and said, "Is it important to have the child in the belly of the palace, or is it important to go to the queen's mother, and there are no long feet in the Qianning Palace, and the palace will go back one day." ”
Su Shangqing's words were still tingling, and it seemed that she still hadn't given up the idea of being a queen.
In the past, the women in the palace, as long as they started to gain momentum a little, thought that one day they would be able to stand by the emperor's side from this temporary and temporary grace to one day be able to stand by the emperor's side, and always thought that they could be in the middle palace, and even one day they could become the queen mother.
But whether it is the Queen Mother or the Queen, as long as this position is supreme, it means that it is more difficult to reach.
The women in the palace, with a little qualifications and some favor from the emperor, began to want to provoke the majesty of the middle palace, but they didn't want to think about why they would always be concubines after all, and it was impossible for them to be in the middle palace.
The same is true of Mei Guifei Niangniang at the beginning, she is the woman with the highest status in the palace, even if it was later Lu Huiling, when she was canonized as Concubine Ming, the first emperor also promoted Xia Rongxin from Concubine Mei to Concubine Mei.
When the first emperor was alive, the queen only had Lu Fushuang, except for a trace of friendship in her heart, only Lu Fushuang was worthy of the identity of the queen.
No matter how high the status of others is, it is impossible to be in the middle palace, not only because of the friendship in the emperor's heart, but also because of the status of the court.
Lu Gaohong was still alive at that time, Lu Fushuang was his only sister, and Lu Gaohong was the prime minister of the official residence, when the emperor was frustrated, Lu Gaohong helped deal with too many things, and there were many people in the court who followed the prime minister.
The first emperor did not set up the queen again, in the eyes of everyone in the harem, it was because of the deep affection of the emperor and queen, but in the eyes of the previous dynasty, it was because of Lu Gaohong.
But no matter what the reason is, the position of queen is not so easy to do.
Listening to what Concubine Shuniang said, Er Xin should know with a little common sense that Concubine Shuniang could not become the queen, even if she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, it was impossible.
But Su Shangqing is dreaming like this, which is really ridiculous.
Er Xin didn't speak, and now his identity is not much more noble than Concubine Shuniang, so he can only help Concubine Shuniang to go back to the palace.
She thought that as long as she helped the queen mother, then the queen mother would try her best to give her everything she wanted, and the queen mother was the most noble woman in the harem.
But the premise is that he can really help the queen.

At this time, Qi Wangshu had already left the palace, and Liang Lian fully explained the reason why she always asked Ji Ziqi recently, which was also convenient to explain the matter of taking Ji Ziqi with him when he entered the palace to see the queen mother the day after tomorrow.
Liang Xiao was very shocked, he still had some impression of Concubine Shen, because during the Double Ninth Festival, she spoke for the queen in front of everyone, which must have left a deep impression on everyone.
But even if Liang Lin has been in Beijing for so long, he and Concubine Shen don't have much intersection, but when she was sent to the capital, it was Liang Lin who took the honor guard and military horse to pick her up outside the city gate, but they didn't talk to each other, and they left an impression recently, because they were on the Double Ninth Festival.
"But...... How exactly did they meet? "Even Liang Lin has been in Beijing for so long, and the number of times he has been in and out of the palace is not too small, but even Liang Lin has not had any intersection with Concubine Shen, why does Ji Ziqi have an intersection with Shen Shu?
Obviously, Ji Ziqi has only been in Beijing for less than half a year.
Qi Wangshu sighed and said, "It's strange to say, they have only met once at the Double Ninth Festival, but Concubine Shen has never forgotten Ji Ziqi, and now it has evolved into what it is now." ”
Liang was silent, he didn't know what to say, thinking that life in the palace was boring, and some of the kindness of strangers to him was easily magnified, and he used to think about it, but now his only sister is in the deep palace that can eat people, and he will never be able to get out.
Qi Wangshu looked at Liang Xiao and said, "Now I came to you, just to want you to bring Ji Ziqi into the palace when you enter the palace the day after tomorrow and meet with Concubine Shen." ”
Liang sighed, frowned slightly, and said, "I'm not too familiar with him, I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult to handle, what reason should I use?" ”
Qi Wangshu grabbed his hand and said: "It's okay, you can tell him the heart of Concubine Shen, lest he enter the palace without psychological preparation, and the farce will end when the time comes, if he knows and refuses to come, we can be regarded as knowing what he means, and it will be good to return to Concubine Shen." ”
Liang Xiao looked at Qi Wangshu and couldn't help laughing: "That is, you, are willing to be busy with this matter." ”
Qi Wangshu smiled and said, "What's this, isn't it just fine?" ”
Liang Lin looked at the sky outside and said, "There is a fireworks show in Xingqingfang today, which can be regarded as a new life that scares away the plague, and it is about to start, do you want to go?" ”
This is particularly tempting for Qi Wangshu, who loves to join in the fun, she was attracted at once, but said dejectedly: "But I still have to go back to the palace......
"Didn't you say it's okay?" Liang said with a smile.
Now he can only relax when he is with Qi Wangshu, for some reason, it is obviously Qi Wangshu's love expressed first, but Liang Xiao seems to have whispered countless times in his heart, but she didn't hear it.
Qi Wangshu looked at him and said with a smile: "Now there is something to do, accompany the princess's concubine to watch the fireworks." ”
Liang Xiao smiled: "That general, I'm going to accompany my wife to watch the fireworks." ”
Saying that, they looked at each other and laughed, the plain and indifferent love flowed long, just looking forward to the day when they could achieve positive results, and each other's titles could be recognized by everyone.

Ji Ziqi was busy for a day before finishing the work in his hand, and Jian Hening also followed obediently on the side, he did whatever he did, and showed his well-behaved and virtuous performance to the fullest.
Ji Ziqi didn't know what she wanted to do, but he didn't expose her, nor did he drive her away, and he said everything he wanted to refuse, but she was still by her side as always, as long as she showed her attitude more obviously, she would understand, right?
"Okay, He Ning, you can rest for a while." Ji Ziqi stretched his waist, and then said to Jian Hening, who was grinding ink on the side, "It's been a busy day." ”
Jian Hening smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, Brother Ziqi, Brother He Ning is not tired, Brother Ziqi is hard." Yesterday, He Ning was still pestering Brother Ziqi to play, and he was really ashamed, it turned out that Brother Ziqi had so many things to be busy, and He Ning was not sensible. ”
Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm busy now, by the way, there are fireworks in the city tonight, do you want to go and see it?" ”
Jian Hening nodded excitedly and said, "Really? He Ning likes fireworks the most! When can I go? ”
"Right now."
