When the emperor arrived at the steps of the Chengguang Palace, he saw that another ceremonial driver had stopped on the outside of the hall.

Seeing this, Ji Shen frowned slightly, and his face was a little uncertain.

In the past few days, the wind and snow have continued, although it is Shenzhong at this moment, but the sky has obviously darkened, Mu Biwei followed Ji Shen's gaze a few times, and suddenly felt that the honor guard was very similar to what he saw on the day he entered the palace.

Ji Shencai asked himself to put on the purse made by Sun Guifei for him, if it weren't for Ruan Wenyi mentioning Jiang Shunhua, I'm afraid this would have been on the way to the New Year's Palace, then the person who is still in the Chengguang Hall at this moment should be Zuo Zhaoyi.

Yedu Qu family, even if Mu Biwei was raised in the deep boudoir in the past, it is like thunder, and the people who can inherit a hundred years of momentum have unique features in teaching their children, and the Qu family is still very much, this generation of the Qu family is long Qu Jia Jue and his father Wei Lie Marquis is Wei Libo, before the Duke Qu Jia is quite famous and arrogant, this person is an exemplary family child, handsome and profound and personable, calm temperament also attaches importance to the family, pay attention to the concubine, he has a total of three sons and three daughters, of which two sons and two daughters are from the original match, all taught personally since childhood.

The eldest son is just that, and the girls who come out of the family are taught poetry and book etiquette by their father himself after enlightenment, which is also extremely rare in the family. Moreover, the four children of Qu Jia personally taught have a good reputation - the eldest son Qu Boyang and the second son Qu Shuqing are both graceful and talented Langjun, and the eldest daughter Qu Bosu is now the princess of Guangling, and is in harmony with the Guangling King Qin Se - it is said that if it were not for the original Ruizong who took a fancy to Qu Bosu as his second daughter-in-law, the concubine of the eldest princess of Xuanning would not have been able to take the turn of the Lou family, although it is only said, it also shows the excellence of Qu Jia's children.

And Zuo Zhaoyi Qu Youshu is the candidate of the middle palace personally determined by the Empress Dowager Gao, the Empress Dowager Gao loves the second son Guangling King the most, and deliberately chose Qu Jia's knee sister as his second son and the wife of the third son, although there is no intention to call the King of Guangling so that he is closer to Ji Shen, but the Qu family is already a Yedu Wang family, and the second daughter is born, one is the princess, the other is the queen, or Ruizong and the Empress Dowager Gao have chosen successively - if it weren't for the horizontal stab to kill a Sun Guifei, the Qu family's current momentum is afraid that even the Empress Dowager Gao's maiden family is not as good as it.

Mu Biwei followed Ji Shen into the hall while thinking, and Jiang Shunhua and Zuo Zhaoyi had already received the news of his coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him.

Yesterday, Mu Biwei was embarrassed by Ouyang's family, folding plum blossoms in the plum blossom forest, she had seen Jiang Shunhua from afar, but she saw a palace woman half a step in front of her, and she didn't have time to take a closer look, the other party had already received Jiang Shunhua's owe salute, Mu Biwei hurriedly avoided the side, and also saluted the other party.

Both sides are exempted, although Ji Shen doesn't like Qu very much, but Qu's matter of taking the sixth palace was ordered by the Queen Mother, Jiang's pregnancy, it was a matter of course for her to come to visit, since she met here, Ji Shen would not give her a face because of this, so she said gently: "Youshu is also here?" ”

Mu Biwei didn't see too much when she heard him call Qu's family, and she felt strange in her heart, she followed behind the two of them, and saw Qu's back quite slender, but she said calmly: "The queen mother was worried that Jiang Shunhua fainted yesterday, so she ordered me to bring Imperial Doctor Ren over to take a look, I didn't want to meet Your Majesty." ”

Before Qu Youshu spoke, Mu Biwei recognized her as the person who spoke on the palace road that day, and saw that she spoke with Ji Shen very casually, just like Ji Shen's name for her, not like the panic of an ordinary unfavored palace concubine, but when I thought about the young girl who Qu Jia personally taught, her temperament was different.

Between the words, the group has arrived at the Chengguang Palace, Ji Shen naturally sat on the main seat, Qu sat down near his head, Jiang Shunhua again, Mu Biwei will have a chance to peek closely, but see that this Zuo Zhaoyi, who is now the highest ranking in the palace, is similar to Ji Shen, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen years old, in the rumors, Zuo Zhaoyi is noble and virtuous, but her appearance is very mediocre, according to Mu Biwei, Qu is actually beautiful, she is a plain white goose egg face, her eyebrows are long and curved, her eyes are sharp but not sharp, her nose is straight and straight, At the same time, the skin is like porcelain - like a picture of a beautiful woman who has lost its charm, if you look carefully, you will feel that there is no bad place in Qu's facial features, but when you look at it, you only feel that it is not delicate, and it lacks the demeanor that a beauty should have.

But in terms of bearing, Qu's is indeed worthy of the four words of famous lady, because Jiang is pregnant, she wore a slightly red-colored wide-sleeved shirt in the purple color of the scene, and the bottom of the skirt is fragrant, and the bottom of the shirt is covered with embroidered grape and pomegranate patterns with gold threads, but the skirt is a large piece of calamus and peanuts, which together means the prosperity of the descendants. Although the appearance is much worse than that of Jiang and Mu Biwei herself, but sitting there has a style that is not bewitching or charming, Mu Biwei looked at her a few more times, Qu immediately felt it, glanced at it lightly, his expression was calm, there was neither disgust and contempt, nor special courtesy, and he didn't even ask Ji Shen, and said: "Ren Taiyi said that Jiang Shunhua is now two months old, and he should be well maintained, Ouyang Ninghua, I have already told her not to come to Pingle Palace if she has nothing to do in the future. ”

Ji Shen nodded, and didn't ask in detail, so he said: "Since the queen mother handed over these things to you, you can deal with them, and you don't need to tell me in particular." ”

The casualness in his tone made Mu Bi purse his lips slightly, but he heard Qu Shi say: "Is it Your Majesty's first heir, or be cautious, I just asked for something with my mother, I thought that tomorrow I would send the Ling family to the Xuanshu Hall to tell you, since you met here, it is better to talk about it first." ”

"What's the matter?" Ji Shen asked.

Qu said calmly: "Your Majesty is young, Jiang Shunhua is also in Shaohua, and it is the first time that the harem of this dynasty has a pregnancy letter, I think that the Chengguang Palace is afraid that there is no experience, although the rules in the palace are to start preparing nurses and stable women after the month is older, but it is nothing to send them to take care of them early." ”

Ji Shen frowned and said, "Who did the Queen Mother send over?" ”

"Xiao Qingyi." Qu didn't hide it, and said happily, Mu Biwei glanced at Jiang Shunhua, who was next, and immediately looked at Ji Shen with a blank look when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he thought that Ji Shen pushed it for her or hoped that Ji Shen would be so accurate.

Ji Shen groaned for a while, but didn't say how the Xiao family was bad, and said, "Although the Xiao family is old, they have never given birth. ”

"Earlier, Princess Xuanning and Princess Anping were pregnant and gave birth, Xiao Qingyi and Song Qingyi were ordered by the Queen Mother to take care of them, and they always know more than most palace people." Qu said, "In fact, when the eldest princess of Xuanning and Princess Anping were pregnant, the queen mother pointed out that the two of them went together, not only to take care of one or two on behalf of the queen mother, but also to prepare for His Majesty's current harem, so Xiao Qingyi thought it was not bad to take care of Jiang Shunhua." ”

At this point, Jiang Shunhua took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the concubine also feels that if there is no older person by her side to give you some advice, she will be panicked." ”

Mu Biwei saw that Ji Shen really didn't like Xiao, but after thinking for a while, she nodded - although the Empress Dowager Gao is eccentric, she is not a vicious person, not to mention the Empress Dowager's own blood and bones, and the Xiao family only came to help Jiang take care of her body without harming her.

Seeing that he agreed, the Jiang family also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the news of her pregnancy spread all over the Sixth Palace yesterday, but the reward of the Empress Dowager Gao only came down today, which could not help but make her think that it was because of the Ouyang family, but since the Empress Dowager gave a reward, it shows that in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Gao, grandchildren are more important than nieces.

And Xiao Qingyi's arrival not only shows the importance that the Queen Mother attaches to Ji Shen's eldest son or eldest daughter, but also shows the Queen Mother's warning to the Sixth Palace!

Jiang thought that he had always been cautious since he entered the palace, and there was Sun and Tang in front of him, although Ouyang's matter was that he had cheated her, but Sun and Ouyang's front and back feet were punished, which shows that the Queen Mother still recorded most of this account on the head of the Prayer Palace, not to mention that Ji Shen has always disliked Xiao and Song, just because these two female officials who have served the Queen Mother are too upright.

The most important thing is that she can't refuse-because she asked the He family to move out of Pingle Palace, and she also had Zuo Zhaoyi to nod here.

Seeing that Ji Shen agreed to Xiao Qingyi to come over to take care of himself, Jiang took the opportunity to mention it: "Now that the concubine has a body, she will still be able to walk around in Pingle Palace, but in two or three months, I am afraid that her energy will not be as good as before......"

Ji Shen showed an inquiring look, Jiang glanced at Qu's family, and said meaningfully: "The concubine is favored by His Majesty, and Gong is the master of Pingle Palace, naturally, the six palaces are taken care of by Zuo Zhaoyi's mother, and the concubine is also very idle on weekdays, but Pingle Palace now lives in several younger sisters, and some trivial things on weekdays are difficult to get into the elegant hall, and Pingle Palace is also quite far away from Zhaoyang Palace, so it is not good to ask Zuo Zhaoyi to often come and go, so the concubine thinks that the concubine is inconvenient to ask one or several sisters to share some of the concubine's identity. ”

Jiang Shi picked this scene to mention this matter is not unexpected, since yesterday after seeing He's heart-turning pot, she wished to drive He out of Pingle Palace early, but although He Shi has not been able to see the holy car because of Mu Biwei's entry into the palace for a few days, but for a while she did not show a trend of falling out of favor, and she is also friendly with the Ouyang family, even Qu's Hualuo Hall is not less, Jiang is pregnant with Ji Shen's first child and does not dare to rashly go against her, naturally can only use the palace power to say things - Ji Shen as an emperor of course impossible to interfere, And Qu herself is the lord of Zhaoyang Palace, not to mention, she is still the queen mother's person who gave the power of the six palaces to be the queen, and she doesn't bother to calculate a small Pingle Palace, and she only agreed to Qu's to call Xiao Qingyi to come to her, presumably Qu will not deliberately embarrass herself.

After all, the Jiang family's purpose is only to get rid of the He family, the most favored and high-ranking concubine in the Pingle Palace, and then clean up the others, not to hand over the power of the lord.

Sure enough, Ji Shen immediately looked at Qu Shi when he heard it: "What does Youshu think?" ”

"Since you've thought of it, is there a suitable candidate?" Qu Shi didn't shirk and immediately asked.

Jiang Shi smiled warmly and replied: "Originally, in addition to the concubine in the Pingle Palace, the highest position was He Ronghua, Rong Hua is also a smart and clever person, and the concubine body really wanted to ask her for help, but thinking that Rong Hua was also a concubine, I was afraid that she would not stay in the Pingle Palace for long, so the concubine planned to ask the Ji Shiwu of Linhua Hall or the Guan Shiwu of Liangfeng Hall to do it for her." ”

Although these two women are not the daughters of the family, they are both from official families, even if their official positions are not as good as Mu Qi, they are better looking than the maiden families of the He family and the Tang family, and more importantly, these two people were selected by the Empress Dowager Gao to enter the palace.

Qu Shi thought for a moment and said, "Now that you are still young, wait until I have asked Ji Shiwu and Guan Shiwu, and then ask the queen mother for her intentions." ”

Jiang hurriedly agreed, Qu turned around and said to Ji Shen: "It has been several months since the He family of Qilan Hall was promoted to the concubine position, and Yan Chonghua and Cui Lierong, who are at the same level as her, have already been the head of the first palace, and now Jiang Shunhua is pregnant, and Qilan Hall is not far from Chengguang Palace. ”

Ji thought for a while and said, "At the beginning, I wanted to point out the Hongjian Palace to live with her, but the queen mother reminded the Hongjian Palace that it was too close to the Hongshou Palace where Concubine Bo lived, so the matter was put aside, but I didn't want to delay it here. He still pushed it all to Qu Shidao, "The matter of the six palaces will be arranged by Youshu." ”

Qu said calmly: "Hongjian Palace is indeed not appropriate, and it is also a little remote, how about Gyeongbokgung Palace?" ”

Mu Biwei didn't know where Gyeongbokgung Palace was, so she only heard Ji Shen say: "That's it." ”

Jiang's heart was overjoyed, and after finishing the matter, Ruan Wenyi stepped forward to ask if he would set up a meal, Qu's eyes moved when he heard this, and he got up and said: "Since Your Majesty has come to accompany Jiang Shunhua, I won't stay longer, I'll retire first." ”

Looking at the words of this remark, it is a bit angry Ji Shen is cold, but what Qu said is very natural, Ji Shen is obviously used to her temperament, and without waiting for Jiang and Ruan Wenyi to stay, he ordered Mu Biwei: "Send one to Zuo Zhaoyi on behalf of me." ”

Mu Biwei owed a debt and answered yes.
