Northland.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the earth dragon has been burned in the morning hall, which is warmer than spring.

Shen Lengyu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xun Yu, the man seemed to be very happy, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips when he played chess with her, which made her have an illusion that he was happy because of this game of chess.

Taking advantage of his good mood, Shen Lengyu wanted to ask the doubts in his heart.

"Your Majesty," she took a deep breath, she rarely had such a rash time, but she just couldn't help it, "why do you want to lend so much money to Nanguo." ”

Xun Yu was slightly stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "In order to marry the princess of the southern country." ”

Faced with this answer, Shen Lengyu obviously didn't believe it, and the more calm he was, the more she felt that there must be something wrong with it.

"It's just a woman, far from going to such a big deal, Your Majesty is for the water conservancy of the northern country and future commerce." Staring at him with burning eyes, Shen Lengyu was a little nervous, looking forward to his answer.

Sure enough, Xun Yu responded, and his smile grew, "You're still smart." ”

"I have made an agreement with His Majesty in the South, and in the future, we will work together to open up the water transportation of the North and the South, which will be mutually beneficial, so that the things of the South can be transported to the Yanbo River and then transferred to land, and the materials of Xiliang and the North will also be tossed like this, which is not cost-effective."

Hearing the affirmation in his tone, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared in her eyebrows.

"So what kind of relatives and dowry are Your Majesty's words, you are just worried that one day the southern country will forget the previous promise after repairing the water, so keep someone in your hands, feel at ease."

Nodding, Xun Yu did not speak.

"And what kind of position do you want to give her?" Shen Lengyu thought about it carefully, obviously more concerned than him, "Since it's just a hostage, the rank can't be too high..."

As soon as the words fell, she realized that she had said something wrong, and the woman was busy blessing her body, "The concubine lost her words." ”

"It doesn't matter." There was still a smile on the corner of her lips, but her voice was cold, such an attitude made Shen Lengyu regret it, she should know how much Xun Yu cared about her former proton identity.

"It's not too high, it's better to be a good woman, what does Concubine Xian think?"

Hearing him ask for his opinion like this, Shen Lengyu felt much more comfortable, but to her surprise, the position given by Xun Yu was really a little low.

The women of the northern harem are divided into eight classes according to their grades, the first is naturally the queen, and the next are the four concubines of Guixian Shuyan, followed by the lady, the noble concubine, and then the Liangdi, the beauty, the selection of the waiter, and finally the change of clothes.

The latter two are just a little taller than the palace maids, and sometimes they are even inferior to the female officials around the concubines, and the beauties are the best treatment that the first two can get in the deep palace, or those concubines who are not from high backgrounds, such as the gorgeous woman who was just stuffed by the Kang family to him a few days ago.

Beauty is beautiful, more like a plaything than a servant.

And the position given to the princess of the southern kingdom by Xun Yu is very ordinary, and it can only be regarded as reasonable.

"Isn't it too low, I heard that the princess of the southern kingdom has an outstanding appearance, and I thought that His Majesty would give her the position of concubine."

After taking a sip of tea, Xun Yu didn't look at her, only said lightly, "She has a bad temperament, she has just arrived, I want to frustrate her arrogance, save her from relying on her identity, I don't know the height of the sky, I have to tell her to remember that her grandfather still owes me money." ”

After the people left, Shen Lengyu said to the maid who had been waiting by her side, "Do you think Your Majesty's words are credible?" ”

The low-eyebrow envoy stepped forward and helped her remove the hairpin ring before speaking, "There is nothing wrong with Your Majesty's words, it's just that Niangniang, you are a little anxious." ”

"You just said that it was just a woman, you don't have to bother much, this kind of words, that is, Your Majesty didn't think about it, he is such a smart person, as long as you think about it, you can know that you are jealous."

"I didn't....", I wanted to refute, but I obviously lacked confidence.

"You don't want to admit it in your heart, there will be someone more important than you in his heart, fortunately, His Majesty is not interesting to that princess of the southern kingdom, and only gave him a good position, otherwise, your self-deceptive attitude is destined to not win others."

Zhishu has been by her side since she was a child, reading and learning words with her, and she is talented and intelligent, which is not only the most understanding of her, but also the most able to help her.

"If Niangniang wants to get His Majesty's blue eyes, it's best not to find out his good impression of him first, and when he succeeds in the future, he will feel that he can't do without you and take the initiative to keep it." The comb slid over the long satin hair, and Zhishu reminded, "No one will remember who gave how much to themselves, they will only remember what they paid, so you have to ask Your Majesty to pay for you, so that he will cherish you and be inseparable from you." ”

Clenching the hairpin in his hand, Shen Lengyu nodded, "I know." ”

Yan Bi looked out again, his expression was a little more disdainful, "What about that person, he went to report to Kang Yingzhu again?" ”

She refers to the maid Moxiang, who is also her own maid in marriage, but she is one level lower than Zhishu, she is a second-class maid at home, this little hoof was bought by Kang Yingzhu a few days after entering the palace, she wanted to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, and punish it well, but was stopped by Xun Yu.

He said that there are countless such people, and there will be a second one if they go to one, and it is better to calculate than to puncture.

If the two want to deliberately reveal anything to each other, they will let Mo Xiang hear it, and in order to confuse the public, sometimes some innocuous truths will also be heard by her, and then conveyed to Kang Yingzhu.

"Yes." Zhishu replied and continued, "The slave saw that you didn't mention it, so she didn't stop her. ”

"It's just that now that I think about it, maybe I shouldn't tell her to listen to everything, or I should deliberately guide her, so that she thinks that Your Majesty loves this princess very much, so that Kang Yingzhu can use all those tricks on the other party, and you should be so good to rest."

Shen Lengyi didn't think so, "After all, she is a princess who is close to her, and she doesn't dare to do too much easily, not to mention that since the position is all there, does she still have to compete with a good concubine, Kang Yingzhu is not stupid, if she really finds out that the princess of the southern kingdom is not favored in the future, she will guess that there is something wrong with Moxiang, then we will call it a big loss because of a small loss." ”

Zhishu felt that she was reasonable, so he didn't say anything more, just turned off the lights and waited for her to go to bed early.

On the other side, Kang Yingzhu sneered twice with hatred after listening to Mo Xiang's report, "This concubine doesn't know what she thinks, she is so stupid as to seek a position for others, she is really the most loyal, the most aware of the holy will, and the concubine, why didn't she directly recommend the princess of the southern kingdom to be the queen, there are a total of four people in the palace, three concubines, what has become of this concubine, so worthless?" ”

Xun Yu, who returned to the dormitory, didn't know that so many things had happened after he left, he walked to the bookcase alone, took out a children's book and flipped through it, and was very satisfied with the happy ending in the end.

"Ning'er, we'll be able to meet soon."
