There was silence inside.

No one responded, and Shen Kang didn't know what he meant at the moment.

Mrs. Guo pulled Shen Kang's sleeve and whispered: "Look, sir, that girl is designated to make a bad mess inside, and the prime minister will give us such a look." ”

Shen Kang snorted and pulled the sleeve out of her hand: "What nonsense?!" Good students stand up! Who are you as prime minister?! Will be about a yellow-haired girl with exquisite hair?! ”

Shen Kang tried his best to suppress his anger and the volume of his speech, the little cleverness in Guo's Suri was all used in the short things of these parents, and even at this time, he did not forget to smear Shen Linglong's impression in Shen Kang's heart.

However, it can't be said that it has no effect, she and Shen Kang both know that Shen Linglong must be in it, no matter what, this matter is inseparable from her uniting outsiders to deal with her own family, and Shen Kang is naturally a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He took a deep breath and said what he had just said again, and a voice finally came from inside, but it was not Jiang Ying's, but Jiang Tingye's: "Lord Shen is here, is he here to seek justice for your son?" ”

Shen Kang was taken aback, although he had never seen Jiang Tingye before, but the young man's voice was full of smiles, and he didn't have to think much to know who it was: "The dog is stubborn by nature, and he offended the night boy, the old man came all the way to make amends to the night boy, and I hope that the night boy has a lot, don't be like Jin Er, when Jin Er is injured and can walk, the old man will let him come to the son in person to apologize." ”

"Young people have fun with each other, Lord Shen doesn't have to be like this." Without waiting for Jiang Tingye to tease Shen Kang's old husband again, Jiang Yu had already taken over, "But I neglected the rules, and left Lord Shen's beloved daughter Linglong to copy it for me, and I was about to send someone to the house to inform me, but who knew that the Lord came first." ”

Shen Kang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Yes, it is her blessing that Linglong can help the Prime Minister copy." ”

"A batch of old classics brought by the Nine Immortals was originally my own private collection, and I don't want to bother my colleagues in Shangshuyuan to take care of the trivial affairs of my mansion in their busy schedules, just Lord Shen is here, and I also have this mouth with my lord and wife, Linglong is smart and studious and willing to endure hardships, and I fall in love with each other, I hate to see each other late, I happen to lack a maid to accompany me, this excerpt of the old classics, also belongs to Linglong to do, there are many vacant rooms in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I plan to clean up a room for Linglong to live, so as not to always run between the two mansions, many things are inconvenient, What do you think of your lord and lady? Jiang Ying opened his mouth to ask for someone, and also gave Shen Linglong a close-up errand, who doesn't know that Prime Minister Jiang Yu has never asked for a close attendant by his side? The only old slave close to him is just a steward.

To be able to serve close to the prime minister, he must be a person who is very suitable for Jiang Linglong's eyes, and today Jiang Ying personally said that he hated to see Shen Linglong late, and Shen Linglong's status and worth are not the same as the Shen family's concubines.

Jiang Yu attached so much importance to lifting Shen Linglong, and slapped Mrs. Guo's face in front of her.

is even warning Mrs. Guo and Shen Kang that Shen Linglong is now the person she fancies, and if she wants to bully her again, she has to weigh the weight of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Kang didn't expect Jiang Yu to talk to him in person, so he was a little stunned for a while, but then immediately ecstasy surged into his heart.

He has always pinned the future and hope of the Shen family on his only son Shen Jin, and before today's incident broke out, Shen Kang was full of confidence in Shen Jin's road to becoming an official in scientific research.

But today's incident made Shen Kang enlightened and entered the ice cellar, he clearly knew that Shen Jin was useless, and the officialdom for a few years also made him obedient to Guo Kun from the beginning, to now his heart and lungs are cold.

Guo Kun doesn't take him seriously, with the Guo family's current power in the court, he Shen Kang doesn't have to succumb to the position of envoy for so long, let alone have to do a so-called 'good errand', but do casual work that others don't look down on.

Even some of Guo Kun's proud disciples have more power than his so-called 'cousin-in-law' and 'cousin'.

If you are not powerless to resist, you can only cooperate with Guo Kun to play the role that is valued and valued. Shen Kang had long wanted to get rid of Guo Kun's play and control, and stand on his own feet in the court.

But he relied on Guo Kuncai to stand in the court, and now it is so difficult to break free from the shackles of the Guo family.

Therefore, Shen Kangcai pinned his hopes on Shen Jin, hoping that one generation would become stronger than the next, and one day he would be able to gradually cut off the control and oppression of the Guo family.

The son can't do it, he still has a daughter.

It's just that he didn't expect that the person who really came out and could really help him would be this little daughter he had never cared for.

If he can really rely on the bridge between Shen Linglong and the Prime Minister's Mansion, he will be in front of Guo Kun in the future, maybe there will be room to speak?

Guo Shi was so shocked that the back of her head tingled, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

Shen Kang responded continuously, it was not difficult to hear the pleasure in his tone, and Jiang Ting, who was sitting inside, leaned over to Jiang Yu at night: "Sister Jiang, I listen to him so happy, and it's not like what Guo Kun said outside." ”

Jiang Ying smiled and said nothing, disintegrating the two alliances that were only external and middle-class cadres, and the only thing to do was to compare.

It is difficult to balance people's hearts, once there is a contrast, there is good and bad, there is high and low, and there are ideas.

The second thing to do is to choose.

Returns and risks always coexist, and there is never really a good thing in this world to sit back and enjoy or be left and right.

What Shen Kang will face next is a choice that has no choice.

For the future of Shen Jin and Shen Lingji, when Shen Kang and Guo walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, they were already in the urn.

And the truth in this world is that there is no choice.

.

It has been three days since Tao Yuan disappeared.

The palace and the palace are generally calm, the spies in the palace walls did not find Tao Yuan's figure again, and the news sent in by Guo Kun also said that Sheng Jing did not have Tao Yuan's behavior.

However, Jiang Tingye is still causing trouble everywhere in Shengjing, and since the call, the palace and the palace have not stopped, as if he has to stir Shengjing into restlessness, so as to get out of his dissatisfaction and resentment.

Guo Zhenzhen knew Tao Yuan's sincerity, he had poison in his mouth, and he could break his breath in a moment.

There was no news for a few days, even Xingyue said that Tao Yuan should have broken himself before he was caught, so no matter who arrested him, he was helpless in the face of a corpse, and he died in the Mei Xi Palace, and it was a place where he was grounded, no matter how he said it, he didn't know Tao Yuan's origin for a while, so he pressed down the matter for temporary consideration, everything about Tao Yuan in the palace and outside the palace was dealt with, no matter how much he checked, he couldn't suspect Niangniang for no reason.

"Yes, didn't the emperor see Niangniang yesterday and use the soup sent by Niangniang? The emperor is thinking of the mother to take on the matter of Mei Guiren, what is the good name of the mother in the palace over the years, the emperor is also clear in his heart, and now the palace is the most respected in the emperor's heart, that is, our mother. Zhao Yuan was also helping beside him, seeing Guo Zhenzhen so sad in the past two days, they were really frightened and sad to be slaves.

Although Guo Zhenzhen also believes that this fire will not burn herself, and also feels that Tao Yuan should have broken himself, there are still too many things that cannot be said in this matter.

Who were the two people in Zhaogui's mouth that night?

If Tao Yuan committed suicide in Meixi Palace, could it be that the two guards suppressed the news of the guard camp for the grounded Concubine Jing, and even she almost couldn't know about it?

Such a high-status guard must be a first-class imperial guard sent into the palace by the big family for training, can such a person have anything to do with Concubine Jing, who is the princess of Dongshu?

The most important thing is that if Tao Yuan is dead, then where is his body?

These problems are always a lurking time bomb, and they may be ignited by an inconspicuous spark at any time, which is really hard to care about, Guo Zhenzhen racked her brains to find some signs, but she never understood the various reasons for this.

Since Concubine Jing entered the palace, a series of favors that happened to her were originally unreasonable.

Now that more fog is hidden in front of her, Guo Zhenzhen thinks that without Jiang Wan's shield in front of her, it will be a bright and bright place.

But now she found out that there were many doubts in front of her, and she thought that she had been able to turn this harem into clouds and rain, but now she found out that she was just a wandering cloud in this storm, and she still knew very little about the dynasty established by Jiang Wan and Qi Ying after all.

The more you know, the more you have, and the higher you stand, the more you discover your narrowness and insignificance.

This is something that Guo Zhenzhen can't bear and admit.

Just like she never refused to admit that the real important ministers and the elders of the real power family stayed in the Nine Immortals, the only people they were willing to follow were always the Jiang family and the Qi family, and the so-called new ministers that the Guo family had accumulated in the past few years were not even worth looking at in the eyes of these people.

It was like a sarcasm that stuck in her heart forever.

And Jiang Tingye chopped off two fingers of Shen Tingye's sister-in-law in the Shengjing gambling house, although it was also in line with Jiang Tingye's temperament, Guo Zhenzhen still felt that there was something weird.

There was a person standing in front of her staring at her in the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, and she couldn't see the person, she only felt suffocated with panic.

It's as if something is going to happen.

She hadn't felt this panic in years.

Since Jiang Wan died, many things have been developing in strange directions completely out of her control.

Why is this happening? Every step she took before,Obviously, it was extraordinarily smooth.,Now.。。 But it seems to be full of resistance.

In the past few months, the number of headaches and chest tightness has become more and more frequent, and the few flavors of medicine prescribed by He Yuan are too bitter, Guo Zhenzhen refuses to drink it again after drinking it twice.

Xingyue and Zhaoyuan coaxed her for a long time but couldn't make Guo Zhenzhen feel a little relieved, the two were squeezing each other's eyebrows, and suddenly a little palace maid's voice came from outside: "Niangniang, Zhao Guiren asks to see." ”

Xingyue immediately walked outside as if she had seen a savior, and before inviting Zhao Guiren to come in, she specially informed her that her mother was in a bad mood, so that Zhao Guiren was careful and relieved.

Zhao Guiren understood, walked to the front and saluted, and then sat down on the embroidery stool brought by Xingyue.

Guo Zhenzhen straightened up and glanced at the nobleman: "This palace is lost when you are a person." ”

She hasn't been here for the past few days, Guo Zhenzhen is on fire in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that Zhao Guiren said that he had a nose and eyes that day, she wouldn't have let Tao Yuan do it so hastily, she was good, when it was time to appear, it would have disappeared.

Guo Zhenzhen stared at her with a blade, and seemed to be suspicious of the person in front of her.

"Niangniang knows the temperament of Concubine Ru, she is the main palace Niangniang of Yuqing Palace, these two days of the New Year's Festival just issued a silver reward, every year is when she is the most interested, pulled the concubine and Yu Concubine and her to push the card, last night the wax table was lit three lamps before the end, today while the concubine has not gotten up, the concubine hurried to the mother here." Zhao Guiren said frankly, and his tone was quite aggrieved, "This year's reward, the concubines will have a few fractions left." ”

Guo Zhenzhen listened, lingered on Zhao Guiren's face for a few seconds, and saw that her black blue was indeed a little heavy at the moment, and then slowly retracted her scrutinizing gaze: "What's the use of coming now, this palace is very lacking, and I didn't prepare tea for you." ”

Zhao Guiren glanced at Guo Zhenzhen's face, and lightly hooked the corners of her lips: "Niangniang is upset, the concubine said some interesting things she saw when she came to Niangniang, and kept Niangniang to understand her fatigue." ”

Guo Zhenzhen didn't respond, looking lazy and didn't like to listen.

Zhao Guiren has been by Guo Zhenzhen's side for a long time, and he is very clear about Guo Zhenzhen's private temperament, and he doesn't feel embarrassed when he sees that she loves to answer and ignores her, and he looks at Xingyue and Zhaoyuan with great interest: "Concubine Chun has now lived in the Henghu Palace with peace of mind, and the Queen Mother personally selected a few clever palace people to serve, and now that the injury is healed, she let Concubine Chun go around the palace, familiarize herself with the road and environment in the palace, and recognize which mothers live in each palace. Don't work hard yourself, now everyone in the palace knows that the virtuous concubine Niangniang of Anxuan Palace is the most kind and virtuous, Concubine Jing is still grounded, and the concubines of Yuqing Palace can only see silver in their eyes, and only the Qing Concubine of Tianhai Palace in the six palaces is not easy to get along, but Chun Concubine is a person valued by the Queen Mother, so naturally she can't be frightened by Qing Fei, and the concubine thinks, since you have to go in front of each palace, Tianhai Palace is also indispensable. ”

Guo Zhenzhen listened indifferently, and as soon as Zhao Guiren paused, she couldn't help but snort coldly: "The Queen Mother is the one who wants to succeed to the Middle Palace in the future, of course, she must 'recognize the concubine' well, how can she show her timidity to Concubine Qing?" ”

I want to come to the palace people who follow Concubine Chun is also instructed by the Queen Mother, and they make a special trip to take advantage of the fact that Concubine Jing's grounding has not yet passed, and to establish the prestige of the upstart concubine.

"Do you want a cup of hot tea, wait for this excitement today?" Zhao Guiren also smiled and said nothing, it is common for big dramas to be staged in the palace every other day, since Chu Miao has become the queen mother's pawn, every step she takes after that, naturally she can't follow her own heart.

Seeing that it is about to be the Queen Mother's birthday, at this juncture, everyone is naturally adhering to the principle of harmony.

But Concubine Qing is very popular and her brain is not good, so it's hard to say what she can do.

It's good to make some noise, Tao Yuan's matter still needs time to be investigated, and some side things are distracting, which is also a good thing.

Guo Zhenzhen's ugly face finally eased, she took a deep breath, and instructed Xingyue, "Let's serve tea." ”

·

Chu Miao sighed at the grandeur of the palace.

There are many pavilions in the distance that have not yet been visited, and it has taken a lot of time just to wander around the six palaces.

The person appointed by the Queen Mother knew everything about the harem, and she saw that it was a palace maid who was about the same age as her, called Qingping, and there were two cute little pear vortices when she smiled, sweet.

Qingping is very talkative, and it has only been a short day since she followed Chu Miao, but she can always find a topic to tease Chu Miao to speak.

Now they are taking a sedan chair in the direction of Qionglin Palace, Qingping is deliberately leading Chu Miao to make a detour from Qionglin Palace, and finally go to Tianhai Palace.

This is the meaning of the Queen Mother, with this good excuse, let Chu Miao take a look at the most magnificent palace feather in this harem, and look at the most powerful residence in this harem.

The new owner of Qionglin Palace in the future will definitely be her.

She had to know about it, and she would risk everything to get there.

When the sedan chair stopped at the gate of Qionglin Palace, Qingping looked up at the closed palace feather, and said softly to Chu Miao: "Little master, this is Qionglin Palace, it's okay in Su Ri, everyone doesn't come here." ”

Chu Miao blinked: "Why?" ”

Qingping pursed her lips and said after half a ring: "Because this palace feather has not yet waited for its new owner, only those who will sit in the future will be qualified to open this palace door and become Qionglin Palace, become the Great Jin, the new hostess." ”

"Also become the one who can stand by the emperor's side."

Qingping's voice was very soft and slow, and Chu Miao couldn't help but look at the plaque of Qionglin Palace, and her heart shook.

Become the mistress of Dajin?

What kind of majestic woman can control this?

How much more does she have to grow before she can get to the point she promised in the late stage?

She can really be that. Is it someone who is comparable to Qi Ying?

Chu Miao felt very confused, she just sighed at the shock in front of her, and regretted that she couldn't see the demeanor of the first queen, so she could only imagine from various legends what kind of demeanor this queen mother who opened up the dynasty should be.

This palace feather once had such a hostess, can there really be someone who can conquer this palace?

Countless thoughts flashed in Chu Miao's heart, she wanted to ask these doubts, but she remembered Aunt Luo's teachings to herself, and finally swallowed everything back into her stomach, and when she turned around to meet Qingping's expectant gaze, she smiled obediently: "I understand." ”

Qingping was very satisfied with Chu Miao's reaction and answer, and the sedan chair continued to move forward, and when she just arrived at the corner, she collided with Concubine Qing, who was also going out to the palace by car.

Concubine Qing came from the left side of the palace road, and she should have gone to the Jinchi Hall first, but the result was not very good, so the whole person was irritable.

Raising his eyes and seeing where Chu Miao came from, he was angry, sneered and said: "Now it is really any slave who doesn't understand the rules to dare to follow the master to serve, the sedan chair of the palace is here, don't you know the rules of getting off the sedan chair to bow and send off?" Detain people from this palace, and teach the rules of this palace today! ”
