Although she expected it, Xu Shu still made the surprised look that Concubine Zhen wanted, "It's good that it's not so valuable, otherwise the courtiers really can't afford it!" ”

Concubine Zhen sneered, "She just showed off in front of me, so that she could appear more noble than me, when I didn't know!" Although I didn't have the heart of the first emperor back then, in addition to giving her the title of queen, the first emperor was far less favored by her than me! ”

Xu Shu was slightly surprised by Concubine Zhen's straightforwardness and frankness, and what was even more surprised was that this was a little different from what she heard, but the versions she heard were also from the mouths of people related to Empress Dowager Fu, and there would be some beautification in it, so it seems that Concubine Zhen's words are more credible!

"The courtiers just heard that the first emperor and the queen mother were deeply in love, and they were very affectionate!"

"Hmph......" Concubine Zhen snorted, "these are all words that she deliberately spread for her own face!" If the first emperor really loved her, how could he accept so many concubines? The concubine of the first emperor...... It is several times more than the current emperor! At that time, I went to greet the queen every day, and the room was full of people, and I went late, not to mention a place to sit, and there was no place to stand! ”

Xu Shu smacked his tongue and objectively evaluated, the first emperor was a good emperor who worked hard, although he was short-lived, and his reign was only a few short years, but Yu Dayin's Jiangshan Sheji contributed a lot, as for the first emperor's harem, but he had never heard of it, probably because the first emperor only had one son, Zhou Jin, and subconsciously felt that there were not many beauties in the first emperor's harem, otherwise how could there be only one son?

"Xiandina has so many concubines for the sake of future generations!" Concubine Zhen sighed, but her face was proud, she gave birth to the only son of the first emperor, and she was a hero for the royal family with few children.

However, Xian Di took so many concubines, and in the end he only gave birth to one son!

"There are many concubines of the first emperor, but there is no one who really likes it, except for Concubine Wen......" Speaking of this, Concubine Zhen was a little envious, she entered the palace at the age when she was like a flower and jade but didn't understand anything, and naturally regarded the emperor as her only support, but the heavens that she regarded as gods were cold to herself, which made Concubine Zhen a little sad, but fortunately, the arrival of her son gave her comfort, and also made her the most distinctive one among all the concubines of the first emperor.

"Concubine Wen......" I saw so many people tonight, but what impressed Xu Shu was only Concubine Wen, such a widow of the former emperor who was still active in the harem after the death of the first emperor, it seems that it is not just the favorite concubine of the first emperor.

"The other concubines were either selected by the draft, or the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother were hand-picked into the palace! Concubine Wen was included in the harem by the order of the first emperor, and as soon as she entered the palace, she was sealed as a concubine, and the next year she was sealed as a concubine, and the first emperor stayed with her for most of the time in a month, and such a favor was unprecedented in the harem of that year......"

Recalling the past, Concubine Zhen seemed to have opened the chatterbox, and couldn't stop talking anymore, Xu Shu wanted to interject several times, but Concubine Zhen didn't give her a chance to interject at all, and kept talking to herself, Xu Shu could only be forced to listen to these old things silently.

"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, the first emperor was tired because of his busy government affairs, and he died after more than a year of lingering illness......"

When the first emperor died, Concubine Zhen was only in her twenties, but she had to take her son to leave her hometown and go thousands of miles away to Rouran, thinking that Concubine Zhen may not be as frivolous and scheming as she seems on the surface, otherwise how can she protect her son and herself?

"It's been almost twenty years...... "Concubine Zhen murmured, it's been almost twenty years since she went to Rouran, how many twenty years can a person have in his life?

Xu Shu is seventeen this year, and she remembers that the first emperor died of illness shortly after birth, and it is really almost twenty years......

"Miss, the palace has arrived!" The carriage stopped, and Lou Ho lifted the curtains.

"It's here so soon!" Concubine Zhen was surprised, and felt that she had only walked a few steps from the palace gate.

Xu Shu said with a smile, "This was originally the palace of the acting king, and it was the closest palace to the palace. Because of the lack of time, I can't rebuild the mansion for the prince of Pingning, but fortunately, the palace is kept very well, and it will look new after the repair! ”

"It's good, it's good!" Looking at the main gate of the palace, Concubine Zhen nodded with satisfaction, this should be the place where she will spend the rest of her life......

Luhe was about to knock on the door, when a middle-aged woman came out of the side door, because Xu Shu was also present when she arranged manpower for the Pingning Palace, and she was also an old acquaintance with Xu Shu, so she recognized this person as Mama Zeng, who was arranged to be in charge of the inner courtyard of the palace.

And Mama Zeng also recognized Xu Shu, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "The old slave has seen the concubine and Miss Zheng Jiu!" ”

Concubine Zhen made a serious face and nodded.

Xu Shu returned the salute, "It's so late, why did Mama come out?" ”

Mama Zeng sighed, "The old slave is ashamed of the queen's entrustment, and is about to enter the palace to ask for sin!" ”

"What's wrong?" After holding on for only a moment, Concubine Zhen broke the work, and hurriedly pulled Mama Zeng to ask.

Mama Zeng replied, "The palace was arranged that day, it was the order of the queen mother herself, and it was Miss Zheng Jiu that you personally supervised, every grass and tree, everything, there is no place that is not careful, whoever sees it must say yes!" But a few of the guests who came back today were very dissatisfied, either because the yard was small, or because they felt that the house was dull, and no one refused to pick the yard to go back to rest, and now they are all crowded in the Fang Pavilion! ”

The Fang Pavilion is on the central axis of the Pingning Palace, and it should belong to the courtyard of the Princess of Pingning!

"The old slave said one sentence, and they had ten sentences, but the old slave was really incompetent, and he couldn't afford to be valued by the queen, so the old slave went to ask the queen for guilt!"

Xu Shu hurriedly grabbed Mama Zeng, "Mama Zeng, don't say this, you have been in the palace for more than 40 years, even the queen mother will politely call you Mama when she sees you, and now let you come to Pingning Palace, just to let you live for the rest of your life, but not to let you be wronged, if you want to ask for sin, it shouldn't be you who go, it must be me who is not well-arranged, and it will affect Mama!" ”

As soon as Mama Zeng goes to the palace, tomorrow Pingning Mansion will become the laughing stock of the whole city, Zhou Jin actually let Mama Zeng go like this, if she didn't happen to see it, I don't know what would happen!

Mama Zeng secretly thought that this Miss Zheng Jiu could speak, and she was a person trusted by the queen, so it was good to use her name to frustrate the spirit of those little girls who didn't know the height of the sky! then half-truthfully and half-truthfully and politely talked to Xu Shu, "This is yours or not, it is clearly ......"
