Chapter 45 - To Each His Own Battalion

The palace maids all went down, and the midwife naturally handed over the three princes to the imperial doctor for examination, and then sent them to the nurse to breastfeed.

When there was only the emperor and her in the room, of course, there was a sister who fainted on the bed. Shen Zhizhen suddenly felt a little panicked and oppressed, and couldn't understand what the emperor wanted to do.

Qi Xiuhao looked at Princess Yu who looked flustered in front of him, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm not a tiger." But there is one thing I want to ask Princess Yu. ”

"I don't know, I don't know what the emperor commands?" Shen Zhizhen stretched out her tongue and licked her somewhat dry lips. I was still nervous and felt a clear oppression.

"You are the granddaughter of the Qingguo Mansion, do you know where the tortoiseshell painting fan that has been passed down for generations in the Qingguo Mansion is now?" Qi Xiuhao spoke slowly, bent down to approach Princess Yu, and stared straight into her eyes.

Shen Zhizhen frowned, he was going to ask this. But she's an impostor, where to know what tortoiseshell painting fan. Shaking his head, he said: "Please forgive the emperor, a month before the wedding with His Royal Highness King Yu, I will go to Putian Temple to pray for blessings." When the robbers came to stop him, he was injured. I don't remember anything about the previous events, and I really can't remember what tortoiseshell painting fan? ”

Qi Xiuhao was not annoyed when he heard this, he just squinted his eyes and looked Shen Zhizhen's expression up and down. When mentioning the Qingguo Mansion that was destroyed, Princess Yu only frowned, and did not see sadness. It seems that the past has really been forgotten.

But he said with a tiger face: "Oh? Is it? There were actually people at the feet of the Son of Heaven who dared to attack the people of Shen Shangshu's Mansion. It's just that I didn't see the excerpt of Jingzhao Mansion Yin's submission of this matter. ”

Shen Zhizhen's hands were a little trembling, and his teeth were biting his lips. After a while, he knelt on the ground and said, "Because my father was worried about insulting my reputation, he took a look at this matter. It didn't alarm Jingzhao Mansion Yin, the emperor knew. The women's name festival is very important.,That's why my father hid it.。。 Please forgive the emperor."

Qi Xiuhao will be suspicious, Shen Nanshan, the old fox, is not so easy to deal with.

A cold voice came into his ears, "Princess Yu, you know. If you lie to me, you are a deception. The crime of deceiving the king will be punished by the nine clans. You have to think it through. ”

Shen Zhizhen listened to the goosebumps that aroused her body, and the threatening voice was like a life-threatening talisman to her.

Shen Zhizhen grew up under the pampering of the Li family since she was a child, and she has never encountered a time when she was threatened. What's more, he is still facing this emperor of the Ninety-Five. Shen Zhizhen only felt like a pair of hands were tightly choking her throat. It was hard for her to breathe.

"No, no. There was absolutely no deception to the emperor. Shen Zhizhen sat on the ground, and he didn't dare to come out.

"Haha, since there is no one. Tomorrow, the imperial doctor will come to ask Run'er for a pulse. Since Princess Yu had been injured before, let the imperial doctor take a look. Maybe it can help Princess Yu remember something? Qi Xiuhao suddenly laughed, and seemed to believe her statement.

If she's lying, you'll find out as soon as you look it up.

"Don't dare, don't dare to bother the emperor." Shen Zhizhen waved his two hands, his face was very pale, without a trace of blood.

"It's okay, it's not necessarily that the Imperial Doctor has a way to make you recover your memory." With that, he got up and left.

From beginning to end, I have never seen Shen Zhirun, who has just walked away from the ghost gate.

Shen Nanshan was holding a light and simple glass lamp in his hand, and he was wearing a robe. The road surface was icy and easy to slip on the snow, so he held the eunuch on his side with one hand.

The night was silent, and the cold wind was howling. Through the faint light, you can see a layer of snow piled up on the imperial tiles of the palace wall.

Suddenly, a small palace maid appeared at the palace gate in front. He bowed to Shen Nanshan and said, "Pass on the Empress Dowager's decree and summon Lord Shen to see him in the side hall, Lord Shen please." ”

Shen Nanshan looked back and forth, but there was no one else. Only a small eunuch beside him. Nodding his head, he said, "Please lead the way." ”

"Xiaguan has seen the Queen Mother, and he asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye. May the Queen Mother live a long and healthy life. Shen Nanshan put down the glass lamp and bowed in front of him.

"Shen Gui gave birth to a prince?"

The Queen Mother was crooked on a yellow pear water mill couch, and her legs were covered with a thin mattress of gold thread epiphany. He looked a little sleepy, probably late at night.

Shen Nanshan said with a smile: "Thanks to the blessing of the Queen Mother, Run'er gave birth to a prince." Although it was born prematurely in July, the mother and child were safe in the end. The minister was already satisfied. ”

"Shen Guiren's birth of the third prince is certainly a great joy, but Shen Shangshu must not forget. The mourning family hasn't gotten it yet, if the emperor gets it first. What if there are three princes? ”

The Queen Mother coldly reminded that she had waited too long, making her slowly lose her patience.

Shen Nanshan restrained his smile, lowered his head and said, "Empress Dowager Qiyu, although the third girl of my family is the only remaining owner of the fan. But the lower officials have already searched it, and there really isn't. I really don't know where the fan is now, but if I find it, I will definitely give it with both hands. ”

The words are very earnest, and they are also true. Except for killing Shen Qingfeng, all the means have been used.

"But what are we going to do without that fan? You should understand the importance of that tortoiseshell fan to our plans, and we can't afford to miss it. If Lord Shen is soft-hearted, this palace can do it for him. The Queen Mother just played with the colorful armor on her fingertips.

Shen Nanshan naturally knew the importance of that fan, but it had taken him half a year to find it, but he found nothing. "Please also ask the Queen Mother to let the officials go for some time, and she will definitely give the fan by herself. On the emperor's side, the lower officials are sure that they have not found the fan, and they will not know the whereabouts of the fan earlier than the queen mother. ”

"It's good that you know what to do, it's getting late. Lord Shen should go back first. The tiredness of the Queen Mother's face became heavier and heavier, so she issued an eviction order.

Seeing the Queen Mother slowly closing her eyelids, the palace maid walked up to Shen Nanshan and bowed respectfully, "Lord Shen, please." ”

Shen Nanshan walked out of the palace gate, rejoicing in his heart for the birth of the third prince, but disappointed that he didn't find the fan. Every step under his feet was very difficult, for fear that he would accidentally put the glory of the Shen Mansion into it.

After many years of ups and downs, he is well aware of his situation. The past few years of serving the emperor have made him feel the emperor's temperament clearly. That's why I'm even more worried about the situation of myself and the Shen Mansion.

In the middle of the night, I will also suspect that I have studied hard for many years and become an official in the court. Not for the benefit of one party, not for the sake of the family and the country, so what?

Is it just for scheming in officialdom, for the sake of a powerful position, and for the glory of the family?

But he couldn't refuse everything his mother had planned for the prosperity of the Shen Mansion. He can only be a dedicated executor. In order to gain a foothold in the DPRK and China, he must also take sides.

It snowed all night. Early in the morning, Shen Qingfeng pushed open the window. I saw a world of pink makeup and jade, and everything was snow-capped.

I can't help but think: when I open the door in the morning, the snow is full of snow, the snow is clear, the clouds are light, and the sun is cold. The eaves flow is not dripping plum jelly, a kind of solitary is not idle.

However, there are no plum blossoms in her Yaoguang Temple, only emerald green bamboo and cypress. Even in the cold winter months, there is always a little more greenery. At this moment, it is also thickly covered with a layer of snow, which has a unique flavor.

It's been a month since I married into the Qin Palace, and I realized it later. A woman who has been married can go out at will. Unlike the boudoir, which must be hidden deep in the boudoir.

Watching the snow outside slowly melt in the warm sun, there are a few little girls holding brooms to clear the snow. Shen Qingfeng put down the teacup, and there was a plate of frosted persimmons on the desk, which was strangely sweet and greasy, and I don't know who sent it.

Yang Qin changed the tea to a new one and said, "Today there is news from the palace that Shen Gui has given birth to a third prince. It's just that the third prince was born prematurely in July, and his body still needs to be recuperated. You deserve it, princess ,,,"

Looking at the princess's expression a little abruptly, Yang Qin didn't take it and said it next.

"Yang Qin, do you think I've changed?" Shen Qingfeng's heart was sour. When can she be so ruthless and ruthless.

A touch of distress welled up in Yang Qin's heart, if the princess was not ruthless. died at yesterday's palace banquet, and no one can blame the princess. "The princess has changed a little, but I think it's good."

The gentle and kind princess before is gone.

"You know, the third prince was born prematurely because of the red incense I hid between my fingernails. I caused all this with my own hands, and people grew up and became hard-hearted. Do you think they're all like that? ”

In the past, the more vicious the words came out of the princess's mouth, the brighter the smile on her face. Yang Qin felt very distressed.

Now the princess's painful and helpless look also made her feel distressed.

"The princess is the best in my heart, no matter what the princess looks like. They are all my brothers and me. Yang Qin had no other words to comfort the princess.

After a while, Shen Qingfeng slowly got up and pulled out a smile and said, "That's it, let's go talk to the prince first." Let's go out today, I heard that there is a wine shop in the capital called Yuhuatai. It's not bad, let's go and have a fun today. ”

Caihe was coming over with carbon, fiddling with the stove. smiled: "The prince has already gone out, just go directly to the princess." When the prince comes back, if he asks about the small one, he can convey it on his behalf. ”

Shen Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, went out so early in the morning? I don't know why, but I can go out as I please.

After going to see Lianxin's injury, Shen Qingfeng took Yang Qin out of the door.

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Qingfeng lifted the curtain and looked outside. There are also some vendors along the street hawking because it is approaching the end of the year. There are many who sell fireworks, and some buy masks. There are also some small stalls selling gourd silk, and there are also jewelry sellers.

Although the weather is cold, there are still people everywhere. Shen Qingfeng saw it in his eyes, and it was bustling and prosperous.

Turn the corner. Shen Qingfeng said: "Let's go through Poplar Hutong." ”

The coachman outside listened and replied: "Back to the princess, it will take a quarter of an hour to go around the poplar alley." If you take Nanxing Street, it will be much faster. ”

"It's okay, it's still early, let's go through Poplar Alley." Shen Qingfeng was very persistent.
