Since the emperor was injured that day, the emperor has been staying in the Zhaixiu Palace and has not stepped into the Xunfang Palace for half a step.

Concubine Shu had an ominous premonition in her heart.

In the past, the emperor stayed in the palace at night, and the concubine could still deceive herself, and the emperor was busy with government affairs.

Nowadays, the people in the entire palace know that the emperor stayed in the Zhaixiu Palace every night.

What else does Concubine Shu have to do to deceive herself.

But Concubine Shu didn't know why the emperor stayed in the Zhaixiu Palace.

On that day, the emperor was assassinated, and the emperor issued a gag order that should not be passed on. just knew that there was a bit of a big movement in the palace that day, and in order to refute the rumors, he said that it was a surprise prepared by the queen for the emperor, which alarmed the Praetorian Guard.

Concubine Shu is also a smart person, she knows that if she can't bear it, she will make a big plan.

If he is perverse at this time, so many years of hard work and so many years of image in the emperor's heart will be gone.

Bear with it at this time, the emperor remembered it that day, and he can still remember the good of Concubine Shu.

Since ancient times, emperors have been unsympathetic people.

Concubine Shu has two sons, the eldest son is 7 years old and the son is 5 years old.

Compared with the childless concubines in the harem, Concubine Shu still has two sons.

The ancients said that the father is obeyed at home, the husband is married to the husband, and the husband is subordinate to the son when he dies.

Even if Concubine Shu is no longer favored in the future, Concubine Shu still has two sons.

This situation is naturally stronger than the childless concubines in this harem.

On this day, after the two sons of Concubine Shu finished their schoolwork, they returned to Xunfang Palace.

"The son asks the concubine to say goodbye." The two sons were very polite.

"Well, I'm hungry. The concubine asked Yuanyuan to prepare some food for you. Concubine Shu frowned and tightened one second, and the next second saw that her son was indeed smiling, completely with a motherly smile.

"Thank you, Princess."

"Mother, is my father coming to our palace today?" The son seemed to miss his father a little, and said in a loud voice.

was asked such a question by her son, and Concubine Shu didn't know how to answer.

After all, since Concubine Shu entered the palace, except for the few days when Concubine Shu came to the palace for inconvenient menstruation, the emperor searched for Fang Palace almost every day.

But now, Concubine Shu can't remember how long the emperor hasn't come.

"Brother, do you miss your father?" The elder brother asked as he looked at his brother's grandmother's voice.

The son nodded, and said a little sadly, "I haven't seen my father for many days, doesn't my father like us and my mother anymore?" ”

"Well, my father is busy with government affairs, and when he is busy with this time, my father will come to see you." Concubine Shu squatted down, gently wiped the tears on her son's face with her hand, and said very gently.

"Then when will my father be able to finish his work?" The eldest son asked.

"This concubine doesn't know either." Even if there is more melancholy in her heart, as a mother, in front of her son, Concubine Shu is still calm and always smiling.

Sure enough, the mother is strong.

"Mother, my father is too busy to come and see us, can we go to see my father?" The son said in a milky voice with some earnestness.

"No, you can't. I can't be disturbed when my father is busy. My father loves you the most on weekdays, and at this time, you must not cause trouble for your father. When Concubine Shu said this, her heart was dripping blood. The emperor may be in the queen's palace at this time, and he has a lot of affection with the queen.

"Yes, son-in-law. I must not cause trouble for my father,"

"Let's go have some snacks."

"Yes, Princess."

The words of the two children once again made the already very sad concubine fall into a deeper abyss of pain again.

Tonight, the emperor still hasn't arrived at Xunfang Palace.

Concubine Shu stood outside the house, looking at the moon in the sky, and felt a lot of loss in her heart.

"It's late at night, it's time to rest." Yuan Yuan said with concern for the concubine.

"Yuanyuan, why don't you see the stars tonight?" Concubine Shu did not answer Yuanyuan's proposal, but asked a question. It's just that the words reveal sadness and helplessness.

"Niangniang, the moon is so bright today, naturally it overshadows the brightness of the stars."

When Yuanyuan said this, she realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing.

"Yes, when there was no moon, Hongu used to be the brightest star in the night sky. But now, with the moon, Hongu has become a hidden star. Concubine Shu used Yuanyuan's words in vain and made a metaphor.

But this metaphor is really appropriate, there are times when the sky is full of stars, and naturally there is also a time when the moon is alone.

"Niangniang, the slave doesn't mean this, and I ask the maid to atone for my sins." Yuan Yuan hurriedly knelt down in a panic.

"Get up. It's not your fault. That's just the way it is. This palace knows that you don't mean this, and this palace naturally won't blame you. It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Concubine Shu said with a sigh.

"Xie Niangniang." Yuanyuan said as she stood up.

"Let's wait for Hongu to go to bed."

"Yes, sissy."

Sometimes, if you don't understand it, you will end up in bed, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.

This Yuanyuan's unintentional words made Concubine Shu's heart understand a little more.

This night, Concubine Shu slept well.

During the day, the sons all went to the school to study, and only Concubine Shu and Yuanyuan were left in the huge Xunfang Palace, as well as some other miscellaneous palace maids and fathers-in-law.

Concubine Shu has not been out of the gate of Xunfang Palace for many days, and today Concubine Shu wants to go to the garden for a walk and relax.

Some things still have to be figured out by yourself, otherwise you will be depressed, hurt your body, and hurt your mind.

In the morning, the sun is not very dry, and the air is fresh when you walk in this garden.

Looking at this flower and tree, spring goes to spring, withering and flourishing. Concubine Shu felt a lot better.

Concubine Shu was a little tired and wanted to go to the pavilion next to her to take a rest, but she didn't know that there was a voice from a distance.

As soon as I heard this voice, it was Zhang Meiren's voice, sharp and thin, and her voice was loud.

In addition to Zhang Meiren's harem, I'm afraid I can't find a second person.

"I really didn't expect this frail queen mother. Now that he has recovered from a serious illness, and now he has won the emperor's favor, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Zhang Meiren had some sharp teeth and said with some complaints.

It turned out that a few harem concubines were talking.

"Yes, I originally thought that the queen mother was frail and sickly, and she took medicine all year round. Now it's okay, the body is better, and there is no need to take medicine. It's really a Buddha fairy. The person who said this must be Xu Jieyu, who copies Buddhist scriptures on weekdays. The tone and content of this tone and words are naturally much more Buddhist than Zhang Meiren.

"You have heard that the emperor has stayed in the Zhaixiu Palace for half a month. Even the door of Concubine Shufang's palace has never passed. "Zhang Meiren seems to be the main messenger of organizing this harem concubine gathering. Whoever hears these words is aimed at the queen everywhere.

"The queen mother was originally the lord of the six palaces, and in those years, she was not favored because she was weak and sick. Now that his health is better, he naturally wants to give birth to an heir for the emperor. The rivers of these four countries also have heirs. He Cairen's words are also reasonable.

"Alas! I have to say that our queen master still has some means. Zhang Meiren saw that they were so unsuccessful, and Hua Dou said that she couldn't order it. Zhang Meiren was really annoyed, so she could only continue to fan the flames.

"I heard that this queen mother has been like a different person since she first recovered from a serious illness. One personality during the day, another personality at night. "Alas, it seems that Zhang Meiren has lit up a Pan Jieyu.

"And such strange things?" Yin Cairen said in surprise and curiosity.

"The queen mother shouldn't be evil, possessed by something unclean." Zhang Meiren naturally led the topic over.

"Loud, you can't talk nonsense, if you hear it, you will be killed." Pan Jieyu cautiously reminded Zhang Meiren.

The concubine felt that there was some truth in what she said. The queen, who was so sick on weekdays that she couldn't even get out of her palace gate, suddenly became alive. It's a bit weird. Yin Cairen agreed

"Before entering the palace, the concubines often asked the servants in the palace to go outside to find some scripts to read. In this book, it is said that this frail and sick man is already very weak. Naturally, it is easier than ordinary people to provoke some unclean things. Slowly, after a long time, the whole person will be completely occupied by these unclean things. The queen mother has a temperament during the day and a temperament at night, and she must have been occupied by two unclean things. The two things are discussed, you appear at night, and he appears during the day. Isn't that what the queen looks like now! "Zhang Meiren's kung fu of fanning the flames is really powerful.

"Why is it so scary?" He Cairen said with some fear.

"Then should we tell the emperor. The emperor has recently stayed in the Zhaixiu Palace every night, don't be harmed by these unclean things. Zhang Meiren continued.

"Let's not tell the emperor about this matter first, the emperor will not believe it without evidence. I must think that we are jealous. "Yin Cairen is still very hearty

"So what now?" Zhang Meiren really fell short, and was beaten back to the pre-liberation period by Yin Cairen with a word.

"This is just to find the national teacher, let the national teacher exorcise evil spirits in our various harems, on this ground, this Zhai embroidery palace is naturally going to be exorcized, but it has appeared in its original form, and it is difficult for the emperor to believe it." Pan Jieyu gave a way.

"It's about to be the Midyear Festival, and this national teacher naturally wants to exorcise evil spirits in the palace. We don't have to worry about that. Xu Jieyu finally spoke, which can be regarded as a summary speech.

Concubine Shu naturally didn't believe their conversation, so she just listened to it.

Maybe when Concubine Shu was favored, they also did these things. Maybe it was possessed by a wild fox that was said to be a fox, so that the emperor was fascinated.

Concubine Shu thought it was a little ridiculous. Even if the down payment is possessed by some charming wild fox now, it still can't let the emperor come to find the palace.

According to this, the emperor doesn't know whether his fate is good or hard.

I'm always fascinated by vixens and unclean things.

It is also claimed that there is a real dragon body.

Isn't this a clear slap in the face!

Concubine Shu turned around and quietly left the garden with Yuanyuan.

Since the Midyear Festival is approaching, Concubine Shu wants to go to the temple to worship.

The temple concubine chose the Tianlantern Temple, which is a day away from the palace.

I heard that the temple here is extremely effective. Since it works, Concubine Shu has a wish in her heart, so she will naturally choose there.

Concubine Shu asked Yuanyuan to submit an application to the queen to leave the palace to pray for blessings.

Cai Xiaoxiao naturally wanted to approve it, and also told Concubine Shu to be attentive on the road and pay attention to safety.

The news that Concubine Shu left the palace to go to Tianlan Temple also knew about it.

Lord Shui didn't worry about Concubine Shu, and felt that it was inappropriate to follow, so he sent someone to secretly protect Concubine Shu.

Along the way, Yuanyuan, the maid, also took care of Concubine Shu very well.

When she arrived at the temple, Concubine Shu met You Rishi's sister at the door, You Rixiao.

At this time, You Rivexiao was accompanied by her husband.

Such a scene made Concubine Shu very envious, and once upon a time, Concubine Shu traveled in the same way.

You Rixiao and Concubine Shu glanced at each other, You Rixiao didn't want to deal with Concubine Shu. After a cold glance, they were about to leave.

Who knew that Concubine Shu actually called You Rixiao, "Xiaoxiao, are you Xiaoxiao?" ”

You Rixiao paused, "I don't know how this lady knows the concubine, but the concubine has never seen the lady." ”

You rixiao's answer was very decisive. This woman abandoned You Riveshi into the palace to be the emperor's concubine for the sake of glory and wealth.

From that moment on, the relationship between You Rixiao and Concubine Shu was also broken.

You Rixiao, accompanied by her husband, continued to walk towards the temple.

"Xiaoxiao, that lady just now, she seems to know Xiaoxiao? Why didn't Xiaoxiao say a few words to him? ”

"Maybe I've heard someone mention it. The concubine had never seen this person once. The concubine is not good at words, and if she collides with that lady, it will not be good. ”

"Yes. I look a little like a lady, right? "You Rivexiao's husband is a three-quality controller, on some large-scale and important occasions. The emperor's concubines naturally want to be promising, and she will feel that it is not enough to be a little similar.

"Concubine Shu is the emperor's favorite concubine, how can she come to this kind of mountain temple to worship." Xiaoxiao said calmly with a kind of sarcasm.

"Yes. I thought Madame and Concubine knew each other? ”

"Concubine Niangniang, how can she be a concubine who can climb high?"

After Xiaoxiao left, Concubine Shu stood in place and looked at Xiaoxiao who left.

After entering the palace, I looked back now, but I didn't expect that there was nothing left.

Love, friendship, and husband are not left.

Concubine Shu entered the temple and burned incense to pray for blessings.

Concubine Shu hopes that her two sons can grow up healthy and happy. Of course, Concubine Shu also hopes that the emperor will have a change of heart one day. Even if you don't change your mind, it's not bad to be a respectable concubine.

In the evening, the concubine stayed at an inn near the temple. You Rivexiao and they also live in this inn.

There was a knock on Concubine Shu's door, and Yuanyuan went to open it.

The person who knocked on the door was You Rixiao, and when Concubine Shu saw that it was You Rixiao, she hurriedly asked Yuanyuan to let him in, stood up, and smiled gratefully.

"It's Xiaoxiao, sit. Yuanyuan served tea. ”

"It doesn't have to be so much trouble. I'm here to say just a few words. From now on, please pretend that you don't know me, so as not to cause me trouble. I don't want my husband's family to think that I have anything to do with Concubine Niangniang. Second, I don't know my mother well. Niangniang doesn't have to pretend to be so familiar. You Lixiao said very calmly, just in the tone of a statement.

"Today in front of the temple gate, it is the main palace that is abrupt." Concubine Shu said slightly apologetically.

"I'm done, take my leave."

"Xiaoxiao. This palace knows what happened back then, but this palace is wrong. It's this palace that I'm sorry for your brother, and it's understandable that you have a grudge against this palace. Concubine Shu was a little ashamed.

"You still know that you were wrong. Do you know how miserable you hurt my brother, and he is still unmarried. It's good that you were favored by the emperor and became a concubine. "It's okay not to talk about what happened back then, but when I talk about what happened back then, You Rivexiao is very angry. The calm just now seems a little irritable.

"Xiaoxiao, I will find a way to make up for you."

"Make it up? How do you make up for it? Our family is not rare for you to make up. The more Xiaoxiao spoke, the more angry she became, and she stood up and left Concubine Shu's room directly.

This person dares to be so presumptuous, Yuanyuan knows that this person must have an unusual relationship with Concubine Shu, and it is not something she should meddle in, just watch from the sidelines.

Concubine Shu returned to the palace and was in a much better mood.

This time out of the palace, Concubine Shu also gave herself a new position.

As long as Concubine Shu doesn't take the initiative to provoke right and wrong, just like Concubine Xian, she is also a Concubine Xian after so many years. If Concubine Shu is like this, then she will definitely be able to keep the position of Concubine Shu.

At this time, Concubine Shu had probably forgotten that Lord Shui was going to rebel, otherwise she would never have such an idea.

On that day, although the emperor promised the queen, he didn't feel right no matter how he thought about it afterwards.

"I, it's not that I regret it, I just have some questions, and I hope the queen can answer my questions?"

"Say it."

"Now this harem, the queen is not the only one. The monogamy mentioned by the queen is probably a little difficult to implement! ”

"Then leave them behind."

"Does the queen know who the harem concubines are?" Cai Xiaoxiao's answer really caught the emperor by surprise.

"This person who can become the emperor's concubine is naturally a nobleman and a family member of a court official."

"Does the emperor know what will happen if they take a break?"

"Concubine Xian's palace looks good, and she doesn't think anything wrong about the emperor. Concubine Xian can stay, and when the palace is free, you can also find Concubine Xian to learn martial arts. ”

"If I keep them for no reason, I can't do such an unfair thing as the only favored queen."

"It's okay to keep going, it's just delaying people's youth."

"In this way, shouldn't the queen persuade me to get the rain and dew evenly wet, so that the harem can be coordinated, isn't it?"

"Why is it raining evenly? The rain and dew are all stained with the first emperor, you will be very tired, and the concubines are afraid that the emperor's dragon body will not be able to bear it. "Cai is really a modern person, and this common sense is very in place.

Although Cai Xiaoxiao has already said it very tactfully, the emperor is also a person with a family and children, so he naturally knows very well what Cai Xiaoxiao is referring to?

It's just that the emperor is an ancient person, and he really feels harsh when he listens to it.

However, Cai Xiaoxiao said so much that the emperor was a little shy and difficult to ask.

"Second, why should this palace persuade the emperor to be wet with rain and dew! This Zhai Embroidery Palace, in the past so many years, has been perennial, continuous drought, and it is also a major drought. Why did no one come to wet the rain and dew in the Zhai Embroidery Palace at those times! When the victims were affected, the imperial court would allocate funds and release grain for disaster relief. No one from the Chenzhai Embroidery Palace came to visit. ”

The emperor told Cai Xiaoxiao about the queen, and naturally he could guess the desolation of this Zhai embroidery palace back then.

Speaking of crooked reasoning, Cai is naturally not inferior.

"Third, the emperor is the husband of the palace, if the wife persuades her husband to be wet with rain and dew. There are only two possibilities: either you have someone else outside, or you pretend to be virtuous against your will. Besides, the harem is a place of right and wrong, no matter how much rain and dew you get wet, it will not be peaceful, anyway, it is not peaceful, why do you have to laugh at 50 steps and 100 steps. No matter what the others do, Hongu can't do it anyway. If the emperor feels that there is a loss in the three chapters of the law with his concubines, then the palace will go to Prince He now, and the emperor will naturally be able to get wet with rain and dew. ”

Now Cai Xiaoxiao is using the prince, and it is quite convenient.

"You dare!"

"If the emperor doesn't force the palace, the palace will naturally not dare."

Cai Xiaoxiao's implication is also obvious, and the emperor naturally understands it.

In this way, it seems that after Concubine Shu left the palace this time, she has a very good self-understanding of herself.

The exorcism of the national teacher in the Midyear Festival also disappointed Zhang Meiren a little, and there was no prototype to appear.
