Shushen was temporarily placed in Ning Yi Palace, which was really a special taste.

During the first emperor's dynasty, Shushen was the palace maid who served in Ningyi Palace, and was given to the prince of Qing at that time because she disliked the concubine.

Shushen didn't think about him, she was smart and knew how to advance and retreat, although she was not very old, but she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she understood many twists and turns. So when she arrived at the Qing Prince's Mansion, she only wanted to protect herself, not to compete for favor, and lived in a corner, just hoping to live in peace.

However, the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that after the death of the first emperor, it was the Prince of Qing who won the throne?

From the moment she was picked up from the house, she was led all the way here like in a dream. The former concubine is long gone, but among the palace maids who are waiting, there are a few familiar faces.

Seeing them kneeling down to greet him one by one and serving him carefully, Shushen had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

It's like a person who begs for a living, and suddenly gets hit in the head by gold, and after reacting, he understands what kind of surprise this is.

In Ning Yi Palace, although she has not yet been canonized, the people are already respectful to her, after all, the princess unfortunately died, the emperor's harem is empty, and she is the only one who comes from the hidden mansion.

She is the only one in this huge harem, and she is the woman of the emperor who is rightfully named. Shushen was full of joy on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was anxiously waiting for His Majesty's canonization decree.

However, after waiting for many days, there was no will, and Shushen wondered if His Majesty had forgotten about himself, and even the palace people of Ning Yi Palace quietly talked behind their backs:

"I thought I flew on the branch to be a phoenix, but I didn't think it was empty joy."

"Your Majesty thinks that you have forgotten her a long time ago, so there is no need for us to serve her as a mother."

"But what is she living in this Ning Yi Palace?"

“……”

At first, it was just a whispered discussion, but then he didn't carry her back at all, these piercing words were heard in his ears, and Shushen was about to crush his teeth, but his face was still encouraging to maintain calm, trying to retain the last trace of decency.

Such a day of joy and anxiety has passed for a long time, until today, the emperor's chamberlain personally came to Ningyi Palace to spread the word, saying that His Majesty wanted to see her.

Suppressing the ecstasy in her heart, Shushen packed up herself properly, followed the eunuch who led the way, and went to Xingqing Palace.

In the Xingqing Palace, Ace had already retired and left, Zhao Mingxu was bowing his head to review the folds, and Xiao Luzi stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the person has arrived, and he is waiting outside the palace." ”

Zhao Mingxu didn't look up, but only ordered: "Announce it." ”

"Yes." Xiao Luzi bowed down and retreated.

After a while, when Zhao Mingxu finally finished approving the piece at hand and raised his head, the woman was already kneeling in the hall.

Zhao Mingxu put down his pen: "Shushen? ”

"The concubine is Qi Shu, see the emperor. Emperor Qi, Shushen is the name given by the first emperor and concubine. ”

Zhao Mingxu's face was as usual, and he only said lightly: "It's very good, let's call it." ”

“…… Be. Shushen maintained a kneeling posture, and when she heard this, she bowed respectfully.

"Get up and talk back." Zhao Mingxu said.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Shushen was finally able to get up, and the figure of the handsome man on the throne came into view, Shushen only felt that her heart was full of swollen eyes, and this most noble and handsome man in the world was her husband.

"I remember you said that you wanted to be free one day, and now I can fulfill your wish." Zhao Mingxu said directly, "Although you are a gift from the first emperor, but you have no real name, I can give you a hundred taels of gold, and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down, are you willing?" ”

"Your Majesty" Shushen's heart shook violently, and she knelt down again with a pop, and at the same time, her mind was racing, and she replied with a choked voice: "In the past, Your Majesty and the princess had a deep relationship, and there were two sisters by her side, Ruoxue and Huamei, Shushen didn't want to fight with each other, just look at you from afar." It's just that now, Ruoxue and Huamei's two sisters are gone, and the princess is also ...... I beg Your Majesty to allow your concubine to stay with you and accompany Your Majesty. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Mingxu raised his eyebrows, "I thought you wanted to be free more. ”

Shushen's face was poignant, and the cold sweat on her back had already soaked through her underwear, sticking to her body, wet and uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to slack off, and still replied respectfully: "In the past, the concubine did want to live a quiet life alone, but when the rebels besieged the city, it was Your Majesty who bravely rescued Shushen from the enemy, and Shushen had already ...... I have long been devoted to Your Majesty. ”

Shushen seemed a little embarrassed, and continued: "Now that the sisters are gone, Your Majesty, you are alone, please ask Your Majesty's permission to let Shushen be by your side, that is, to be a palace maid who pours tea and water, and the concubine is also willing." ”

After speaking, he knocked his head down with a powerful head, and he didn't get up for a long time.

In the palace, Zhao Mingxu didn't say a word, just when Shushen thought that he had angered Long Yan and was going to be punished for questioning, the person on the throne finally spoke, but he didn't reply at all, only said lightly: "You go down." ”

Shushen didn't know what this was to do, so she had to bow down and retreat, so she had to return to Ning Yi Palace and wait anxiously.

In the Xingqing Palace, Zhao Mingxu picked up the fold again, opened it and only looked at it twice, then frowned and threw it aside, it was another letter requesting the draft.

These days, there are a lot of people who worry about the emperor's harem, and the reasons used are also very consistent, the princess and the prince unfortunately died, the emperor's harem is empty, and the knees are thin.

Although Zhao Mingxu can ignore such twists and turns now, this is not a way after all.

Although the first emperor was newly mourned, Zhao Mingxu was a younger brother after all, and he did not have to keep filial piety for three years like children did to their parents, but only needed to serve Qi Qi and three months. At present, March has not passed, and there will be twists and turns, and when the period of March after the year has passed, I am afraid that it will be even more unscrupulous.

As Ace said, it's better to seal one or two people and make a show, so as to block Youyou's mouth.

Regarding Liuli, he has already made arrangements in his heart, and it is not yet time. But Shu Shen, the first emperor gave the old man, and it was too normal to give the seal.

On the second day of Shushen's return to Ningyi Palace, the emperor's canonization decree came down, and all the people in Ningyi Palace knelt down to welcome the holy decree, and the eunuch who announced the decree read a lot of it, only the last sentence was heard by everyone: it was canonized as "Shen Concubine", and it was admired!

Shushen breathed a long sigh of relief, and the hanging heart finally fell: "Thank you, Lord Longen, the concubine will accept the order." ”

"Shen Concubine Niangniang, please get up quickly, Your Majesty instructed, if you want Niangniang to rest well, you don't have to go over to thank you." The eunuch said in a sharp but respectful voice.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Shushen respectfully responded, and the people who sent the decree walked away, and then turned back, and the whole body had changed its temperament.
