The inky night sky is dotted with stars, the cicadas have stopped, and the heavens and the earth have quieted down.

Although it is not yet autumn, it is a little cool in the evening, and the most comfortable time of the year in the north is the end of summer.

The young emperor took a secret letter from his attendant's hand, waved his hand, and stepped back. After opening it and glancing at it, Xun Yu hooked the corners of his lips, and even a smile overflowed from his eyes.

Shen Lengyu rarely saw him laugh, except for laughing a few times when he teased the Kang family, he always kept a straight face on weekdays, and it was so cold that he could freeze frost.

The people in the palace were afraid of him because of this, but she was not afraid, she wanted to tell Xun Yu that in fact, he looked good when he laughed, and he should smile more.

Feeling the sinking of his shoulders, the man turned his head, and the woman in a plain bedrobe had a beautiful face, like a gardenia in the lonely court, clean and dusty, only the dark fragrance floated.

Unlike Kang Yingzhu, Shen Lengyu never competes for favor or pampered, although he is a little high and alienated, he is a talent who is good at strategy and understands the art of war. The talented women of other families are famous for their poetry and books, but she is famous because she solved the problems of the first emperor in the north and Xiliang trade for her father when she was a child.

Xun Yu originally wanted to use the word "cold" in her name as a title, but later she followed the old practice and gave the word "Xian", ranking second among the four concubines of Guixian Shuyan.

Shen Lengyu put on a cloak for him and said, "What is written in the letter so happy, Your Majesty can't wait to stand at the wind outlet and read it." ”

didn't speak, Xun Yu just put the letter away, and followed her into the inner room before saying, "You go to sleep first, I still have things to deal with." ”

After speaking, he took off the cloak he had just put on, waited for someone to get dressed, and got up and left.

Shen Leng was blessed, and only slowly stood up after the person left, his face full of loss. Her father's official worship of Da Situ is one of the three divisions of the northern kingdom, Sikong is in charge of water conservancy construction, Sima is in charge of soldiers and horses, and Situ is in charge of taxes, it can be said that before Xun Yu ascended the throne, the money in the northern kingdom was basically managed by the Shen family.

But since the case of the regent, he began to take back the rights in the hands of these people, or divide them, so as not to cause further trouble.

The Shen family was naturally unwilling, but there was no reason to refuse, so they sent her to the palace. Shen Leng Gardenia was not willing to be a woman within the palace walls, but Xun Yu asked her on the first day he met her if she was willing to help him, nominally as a concubine, but actually as a minister.

He promised that as long as she and the Shen family cooperated with him to consolidate the power of the DPRK and China, the Shen family's wealth would only increase after the success, and she could return to her free body.

Shen Lengyu is naturally willing not to be the favorite concubine of the Israeli servant, but to be a person who can really serve the country, even if because Xun Yu often stays in her Chaolu Palace, she has to deal with the concubine Kang Yingzhu Kang Guifei who is also in the concubine position but is half a head taller than her, she has no complaints.

But after being by his side for a long time, Shen Lengyu gradually had other thoughts, she didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay by his side and stay with him all the time, blocking those open guns and hidden arrows, conspiracies and tricks for him.

But Xun Yu didn't mean that, he always slept in a separate bed with her every time he stayed here, and he didn't even touch a single hair of her, which made her feel a little sad in her heart, wondering if she was not doing well enough, so he couldn't look down on her.

It's just that this kind of mind is not clear at all except for the maids around her who have grown up with her since childhood.

Early the next morning, as soon as Shen Lengyu finished freshening up, someone from the palace came to announce that His Majesty had left Da Situ for lunch and asked Concubine Xian to go with him. When the woman heard this, she hurriedly went to the pavilion in the imperial garden, Xun Yu deliberately chose here, firstly, to show that the Shen family was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so as to win him over, and secondly, he also wanted to take a look at the palace, he doted on Concubine Shen Xian Yuansheng Kang Guifei.

Seeing his father and him smiling and pushing the cup to change the lamp, Shen Lengyu was naturally happy, the woman was busy distributing vegetables to the two of them, and through those flowers and plants, she saw Kang Yingzhu under the corridor not far away.

I don't know if it looks like it's in a green tree, she always feels that Concubine Kang's face is a little green today.

After three rounds of drinking, Xun Yu was a little drunk, Da Situ smiled and bowed, and his mouth was still reading, "There is Concubine Lao Xian to send His Majesty back, and the old minister will go back first." ”

"Situ Youli, let's continue to drink next time." The man waved his hand, Xu was a little up, the range of movement was too great, and he almost hit the fat face of the waiter next to him, Shen Lengyu wanted to put his arm on his shoulder, Tian Xin saw this, and hurriedly went over to take Xun Yu to himself.

"Don't you dare to bother the mother, just call the slave to come."

The chubby chamberlain didn't take a few steps and began to breathe, Xun Yu frowned, and whispered, "Can you do it?" ”

"Your Majesty, bear with me, there are still a few steps to the dormitory." Tian Xin squeezed out a smile, he was so tired that his face was sweating, and he didn't know what was wrong with his grandfather, he was still pretending to be drunk when he drank, it was too tasteless.

Let's pretend, the beauty is on the side, wouldn't it be good to ask Concubine Xian to serve, why don't you squeeze your eyes and ask yourself to carry him back.

I don't understand, Tian Xin really doesn't understand.

In addition, there are many things he doesn't understand, such as when Grandpa Han entered the palace a few days ago, he was next to him, and the other party asked Xun Yu why he didn't handle the affairs in the army well, but was in a hurry to dig the river, and his grandfather looked careless, saying that there was a tendency for the Han family and the Zhen family to fight each other, and the Kang family didn't care about it.

The original saying is that the people who compete for military merit are pulled into the court, and the art of war strategy is all used to compete for favor, which is safe and interesting, and it is much easier than bothering to cut power, and if you are not careful, you will capsize.

He didn't understand what happened just now, so decent, why did he take so much money to the southern country, a dignified northern kingdom, and the two of them were like market vendors, and when they mentioned money, their eyes lit up.

What do you say that the waterway leads to wealth, small investment, big income, Da Situ pinched his fingers and calculated, like a fortune teller, he could hear it without an abacus.

Xun Yu was more tired than walking by himself, Tian Xin was short and fat, and one of his arms was dragged on the other party's shoulder, and it hurt.

If it weren't for the fact that he was hiding people's eyes, Xun Yu couldn't wait to kick him away.

Finally arrived at the dormitory, Tian Xin put him on the bed, and lay down with a crooked body, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have almost been stoned to death by this fat minion.

Tian Xin hurriedly got up, let him lie down comfortably, and was about to retreat, but he heard the person on the bed hum, "Find a beauty to serve ....."

Xun Yu said vaguely, and Tian Xin didn't know if he was really drunk or what, so he became more and more confused.

Even after asking twice, he didn't speak when he saw the other party, and thought he was completely asleep. Tian Xin complained while helping him take off his boots, "I want the beauty to go back to the Chaolu Hall with Concubine Xian just now, why toss people." ”
