The crown prince also knelt aside, but his expression was much calmer, "Father, the minister knows his mistake in this matter, and I implore my father to punish him!" ”

"You, you, Li Gaoyu, you let me say what is good about you! As a prince, he actually acted like this! I'm really mistaken about you! The emperor frowned bitterly, didn't want to see him, and only said after a while, "Zhongshu ordered Qian Yuantu to be dismissed from office and exiled to the extreme!" The prince's virtue is wrong, from now on, he will be grounded in the imperial womb, and without my will, he will not be allowed to come out, and no one will be allowed to see him! ”

When Eunuch Chen next to him heard this, he quickly said, "Huh...... Emperor...... Please discourage yourself and don't get too angry......"

"Hey! You kneel here and give me a good reflection! The emperor snorted angrily, and left the Ningyang Palace, only taking Chen Eunuch and a few palace people, walking towards the imperial garden, wanting to take a break along the way.

In the distance, I saw a pure woman wearing a blue palace dress and only a silk flower on her head, picking flowers in the sun, and only one maid followed by her.

The woman looked quite beautiful, but she didn't look like a palace concubine with heavy makeup, she was dumbfounded, her heart was fascinated, and she asked Eunuch Chen beside her, "Who is that person?" ”

Eunuch Chen smiled heartily, "Your Majesty, that's Concubine Shu." ”

"Concubine Shu? Shu Concubine? ......" The emperor squinted at her, and there were words in his mouth, "Really, how did I forget her." ”

Eunuch Chen said, "Your Majesty has been working state affairs day after day, and there are many concubines in the three palaces and six courts, so naturally he is not careful. ”

In fact, Eunuch Chen also knew in his heart that the reason why this Shu Concubine was not favored was because the Seventh Prince, who was free and frail, was the most inconspicuous of all the princes.

"I haven't seen the Seventh Prince for a few days......" The emperor suddenly remembered that when Concubine Shu first entered the palace, she was so bright and lively, so moving, and now she is still charming, and remembered that she had neglected her in the past few years, so she couldn't bear it, so she said, "Except for you, no one is allowed to follow, let's go over and have a look." ”

"Whoa......

The emperor took Eunuch Chen quietly around behind Concubine Shu, and saw that she was picking flowers with a palace maid, and there was a smile, the smile on her face was very bright and warm, and she laughed unconsciously.

was about to shout out to stop her, but next to the rockery in the distance, a bewitching voice came first, "Yo, isn't this Sister Shu Concubine?" Why do you have time to visit the Imperial Garden today? ”

Concubine Shu looked up and saw that it was the queen, so she quickly knelt down and saluted, "The concubine participates in the queen's mother, the queen's mother is auspicious......" After the ceremony, she slowly stood up and continued, "The concubine saw that the sun was just right today, and the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden were blooming, so she wanted to come and pick a few, and go back to make tea and drink ......."

The queen looked at her proudly and glanced at her contemptuously, "Isn't this palace sending chrysanthemum tea every month, why do you bother my sister to come to the garden to pick flowers and cook tea?" ”

"Back to the queen, although the chrysanthemum tea in the palace is good, but it is not as fresh as the day picked, the concubine tasted it once last time, it is very fresh and sweet, if the queen mother likes it, then the concubine will let people send some to the palace of the mother......"

The queen was depressed about the prince's affairs, and when she remembered that Concubine Shu also had a prince under her knees, she had just received a commendation a few days ago, and the anger in her heart did not come out, "That's not necessary, but Sister Shu Concubine, since you are a concubine in the palace, in addition to serving the emperor, you have to pay attention to other small things, there are so many chrysanthemums in this imperial garden, if everyone is like you, come to pick every day, then how much is left for the emperor to watch?" ”

"This ...... It's the concubine's fault...... The concubine was thoughtful...... "Concubine Shu's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The queen slowly came down from the rockery and glanced at her coldly, "What's the use of just knowing that it's wrong, if you don't punish it, how to set an example, come here, and ...... Shu Concubine."

Before the words fell, I heard a burst of applause behind me, and when I turned my head, it was the emperor!

He stepped forward angrily and asked impatiently, "Queen, what did this Shu Concubine do wrong, and you want to punish her like this?" ”

The queen was shocked, "Your Majesty, you see that this concubine Shu is picking chrysanthemums every day, and the chrysanthemums in the palace are almost finished by her, and the concubine just wants to warn her......"

The emperor looked down at Shu Concubine, who had been kneeling on the ground, a goose egg-sized face was already very beautiful and moving, a pair of aggrieved eyes blinked pitifully, and his heart was unconsciously moved with pity, "I just tasted the chrysanthemum tea cooked by Shu Concubine a few days ago, and it tasted very good, so I often made it for me to send to Ningyang Palace, why, the queen seems to have a lot of opinions?" ”

"No, no, no......" When the queen heard this, she secretly became nervous in her heart, and smiled awkwardly, "Since that's the case...... Then Sister Shu will work hard......"

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the change in the emperor's face, and was stunned for a while before he continued, "Your Majesty, it's windy here, let's take a walk with you......"

"Queen, if you have time, you should teach the prince well, and Minyue, her marriage should also be put on the agenda, don't always think about how to punish the palace concubine!" The emperor scolded sharply, and after finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to Shu Concubine who was kneeling on the ground, "This visit to the imperial garden, let Shu Concubine accompany you, you hurry back to your palace and reflect on it!" ”

"Yes......" The queen saluted perfunctorily and withdrew.

Concubine Shu stood up from the ground and looked at the emperor gratefully, "Concubine Xie Emperor for relieving the siege......"

"Okay, okay, it's all a trivial matter, I don't see that you pick many chrysanthemums, why don't I pick them with you, after returning to Ningyang Palace, you can cook tea directly for me to drink, hahahaha." As he spoke, he put his arm around her shoulder, Shu Concubine also tilted her body slightly, and the little bird threw herself into his arms like a human.

At this time, the maid Qiutong who followed them was happy in her heart, she was very curious, why Shu Concubine, who had never visited the imperial garden, had dressed up early today to pick chrysanthemums.

It seems that his master has finally opened his mind.

On the second day, the news of Concubine Shu's promotion to Concubine Shu spread to the East and West Sixth Palaces, and Concubine Wu was so angry that she didn't even swallow a bite of breakfast, and scolded in her own Wuying Palace.

"What is this Shu Concubine! has been silent in the palace for so many years, and even climbed to the concubine position overnight! It's really a dog that bites and doesn't bark! She wore her hair loose and was furious, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace did not dare to gasp.

There was only a personal maid Jiaoxing, who said while grooming her, "Niangniang doesn't have to be so angry, it's just a concubine with no background and no backing, where can I compare with you, the emperor just looks at why he hasn't been favored by her for so many years, and he feels a little guilty in his heart." ”

Where can Concubine Wu listen, what she is worried about is just Li Wenyao, "What do you know, this palace has never put which concubine in the palace in the palace, but this Shu concubine has been promoted to the concubine position now, and she has a son...... I'm afraid of ...... in the future."

She frowned darkly, thinking in her heart, her sixteenth prince was still young, and there were several older princes in front of her who were confidants, and she originally thought that the seventh prince was not to be afraid, but at the moment, it seemed that the emperor did not leave him behind.
