There was still laughter in the Huaqing Palace.

Ruotang dutifully played the role of a good daughter-in-law who was docile, respectful, kind and generous, and the lady who served the concubine kept smiling with crooked eyebrows.

At this moment, a waiter hurriedly stopped outside the crystal bead curtain.

The old lady glanced at it, and naturally there was a confidant palace maid of Concubine Shu who stepped forward to ask.

Ruotang was carefully pinching the shoulders and neck for Concubine Shu, and the corner of his eyes swept slightly, and he took the solemn and anxious look of the waiter in his eyes.

He sent his chamberlain away. The palace maid also walked over with a heavy face.

Concubine Shu naturally noticed the abnormality early, and reached out to pat Ruotang's hand on her shoulder with an unchanged smile, "Okay, okay, the mother concubine knows that you are a filial child, and you are tired after standing for so long, so sit down and rest for a while." ”

Ruotang thanked her and sat down under her.

The palace maid had already walked to Concubine Shu's side at this time, leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

The smile on Concubine Shu's face seemed to stiffen, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she regained her smile after a moment, "Where is Your Majesty right now?" ”

"Your Majesty is on his way over."

Concubine Shu looked at Ruotang, and Ruotang stood up with interest. "The morning has disturbed the mother, and the child should also leave. The mother concubine takes care of her body, and the child will enter the palace to greet you when she is free. ”

"Well, you just moved to a new house, and you want to come and have a lot of affairs at hand, so this palace won't keep you." Concubine Shu smiled and said, "It's just that you have to receive treatment tomorrow, and I don't know if I'm shocked or not." And keep it at home. I'll talk about it when I'm well. ”

After two more sentences. asked the palace people around him to send Ruotang out of the palace.

As soon as Ruotang left, the smile on Concubine Shugui's face disappeared, and her eyes were gloomy as if they were about to drip water, "This palace has always asked you to pay attention to the movements of Zhengyang Palace, the queen made such a movement, but this palace was the last to know, you are really bad!" ”

The palace maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and argued: "Since Your Majesty's will arrived in Zhengyang Palace, the slave maid has been paying close attention, but the queen did not move before, and she changed into the queen's robe later, and only said that she was looking for Your Majesty's decree. The slave didn't take it to heart, but the queen ......"

"Get down!" Concubine Shu was angry and shouted in a deep voice.

The palace maid learned that her life was fine, so she didn't dare to say half a word, so she kowtowed the ground, and hurriedly retreated.

The old lady stepped forward and rubbed the corners of her forehead for her familiarly, "Niangniang, it is useless to pursue it at this time, the most important thing at the moment is Your Majesty's attitude." Your Majesty will come in a moment, and with his love for you, he will not be threatened by the Queen. ”

"In the end, this palace still underestimates the Shangguan clan!" Concubine Shu clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and closed her eyes vigorously before she eased her extremely angry emotions, "That's it, let's talk about it when we see Your Majesty." ”

But after half a cup of tea, Bai Lihuang, who was dressed in a majestic dragon robe, walked in quickly, and with a wave of his hand, the palace people in the house retreated in an orderly manner.

Concubine Shu pretended not to know anything, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile as usual, "Why did Your Majesty come here at this time?" Isn't there a lot of fun today? ”

Bai Lihuang's body, which had been tense, seemed to finally relax after seeing Concubine Shu.

He looked deeply at the smiling woman in front of him, and felt more and more sorry for her, "Rong'er! ”

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows slightly, and stepped forward worriedly, "But what's uncomfortable?" ”

"I've come here because I have something to discuss with you." Bai Li Huang took her hand and said apologetically: "The poisonous woman of the queen found me ...... before"

Concubine Shu was shocked as if she heard such words for the first time, but soon her eyes turned red, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a cry: "The queen hates me so much, even my emperor wants to rob it...... No, I'll beg her, Your Majesty, I'll go and beg the queen, beg her not to snatch my royal son, I'...... As long as she promises not to snatch the emperor, I will agree to any conditions, even if I am demoted from the palace immediately, I am willing! ”

"What are you talking about?" Bai Lihuang hugged her tightly, and said with annoyance and distress: "I shouldn't have kept her, but gave her the opportunity to make waves like this." Rong'er, things have come to this point, for the sake of your reputation and the future of the emperor, I am afraid that the matter of recording him in your name is ...... It's not right. ”

Concubine Shu raised her head violently, her red eyes staring at Baili Huang sadly, "Then Your Majesty, do you really want to put the emperor in the name of the queen?" ”

"It's impossible!" Bai Li Huang categorically denied it, "How can I let that poisonous woman get her wish? Little Seven and Little Eight, she doesn't want anyone anymore, but in this way, she will be wronged Rong'er. ”

When Concubine Shu heard his tone, she knew that there was no room for a turn in this matter. She gritted her teeth before she said, "Rong'er, but it is up to Your Majesty to decide." "Brother Shangle.

Looking at Concubine Shugui's compromised appearance, Bai Lihuang felt more and more ashamed of her: "It was because I didn't think about it completely, so I gave the poisonous woman a hole to drill, you can rest assured, I won't just forget this matter, I have to give your mother and son an explanation!" ”

Concubine Shu shook her head with tears and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be so embarrassed, like now, if the concubine wants to see the emperor, she can announce that he will come over to see him, so I am already satisfied." As for whether it can be recorded in the name of the concubine, it is not a big deal, is it not recorded in the name of the concubine, and the emperor is not the emperor of the concubine? ”

Bai Lihuang sighed, "It's just that that kid is quite angry with you, and I'm really worried about ......"

Concubine Shugui's eyes flashed slightly, "Mother and son are connected, the concubine believes that in time, the emperor will definitely forgive me as a concubine, the concubine is not in a hurry, and Your Majesty should not be in a hurry, okay?" ”

Shen Ruotang, a woman, is only afraid that she will have to hold it more tightly in her hands from now on.

After a while, Baili Huang let out a long sigh, "I thought that this matter was nine out of ten, but I didn't want it to be complicated. Rong'er, you mother and son, I am so ashamed of you, can you complain in your heart? ”

"Your Majesty, where are you talking about this?" Concubine Shu leaned on his chest and responded softly: "Your Majesty's distress, Rong'er understands it in her heart. If you can continue to stay by Your Majesty's side and serve you, Rong'er will be satisfied. The emperor is too, His Majesty has worked hard to cultivate him, he just doesn't understand it now, and he will definitely understand your hard work for him in the future. Rong'er can now be by His Majesty's side, and she can see the emperor from time to time, which is the most important thing. ”

"You're always so easy to be content." Bai Lihuang sighed again, but his stiff body slowly relaxed.

"Contentment is the only way to be happy," Concubine Shu said softly, "Rong'er doesn't have big ambitions, you know." ”

"Of course I do." Baili Huang stroked Concubine Shugui's thin back and sighed with emotion.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and when Baili Huang's mood was completely calm, Concubine Shu left his arms, looked up at him, and said expectantly: "Your Majesty, can the concubine ask you for a favor?" ”

At this time, Baili Huang was ashamed of her, and she couldn't miss this opportunity in vain.

"You say."

"The concubine has only figured out these days, it turns out that Miss Shen is not an orphan girl without a father and mother at all, who do you say she is?" Without waiting for Baili Huang to answer, Concubine Shu Guifei went straight down and said: "It turns out that she is Shen Ruotang, the daughter of Shen Xiang who was married to the emperor by Emperor Chu when he was in Great Chu!" ”

"Is there such a thing?" Bai Lihuang's brows quickly fell, "The third child is so bold, he dares to deceive me under my nose!" and the shameless Shen Ruotang, she ......"

"Your Majesty, listen to me first." Shen Guifei begged him: "That Shen girl, since the concubine knew her identity, she often summoned her into the palace to speak, and the concubine found that the rumors said that she was unbearable, but it was not true. In fact, she is respectful and courteous, benevolent and generous, filial and humble, and is a real famous lady. ”

Bai Lihuang obviously didn't believe it, "I'm afraid that's what she pretended to be." If it is really a good one, how can he live in the third mansion shamelessly regardless of his identity, and have the cheekiness to follow the third child to participate in the palace banquet? ”

"Your Majesty, your concubine is quite good at knowing people, the concubine has been in contact with her these days, if she is pretending, how can the concubine be concealed by her?" Concubine Shu said softly: "As for why she is in the palace of the Third Highness, it is because she was taken captive by the Third Highness to the Kingdom of Liu, and the Third Highness threatens her, if she does not obey him, she will never see the emperor again." Thinking about it carefully, what happened to this Miss Shen is somewhat similar to that of the concubines in the past. After the concubine found out, she inevitably had to pity her more. ”

The anger that had originally accumulated in Baili Huang's eyebrows was like being poured down by a basin of snow water when she heard her mention the past years, "In this way, she has no choice but to do so?" The third child is so bold that he dares to do such a thing! ”

"Xu is the Third Highness has his reasons." Concubine Shu said lightly, "After the concubine knew this, she was very uneasy, so she wanted to beg Your Majesty, if she still let her follow the emperor, in the end, there was a lover, so she was broken up like this, and the concubine really couldn't bear it." ”

"It's not a big deal." Bai Li Huang muttered: "But it is impossible to be the emperor's concubine." At this point, you, as the emperor's mother, have to be thoughtful about him, can you understand? ”

After a pause, he said uneasily: "Master Xiao's family, this holy decree should have been issued earlier." ”

"Your Majesty is so favoritism, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Concubine Shu hurriedly said: "On the order of the elders and young, the family affairs of the three highnesses have not yet been decided, but the family affairs of the emperor have been decided first, I am afraid that ......"

"You're right." Bai Lihuang thought deeply, "The third child is also my son after all, and his choice of imperial concubine should also be cautious - you have more dealings with foreign women, do you have a suitable candidate in your heart?" ”

"There are a lot of good girls, I don't know what the Third Highness is thinking?"

"Don't care about him, you draw up a list for me, and I will think about it again and quickly decide on the candidate. In this way, the emperor's family affairs can also be settled. Baili Huangwu said with a smile to himself.

Concubine Shu smiled softly and humbly, and her slightly lowered eyes blocked the bright light in her eyes: "Yes, the concubine will send it to Your Majesty after preparing a list." ”
