In the Shen Mansion on Jingtai Street, Shen Huashan and Shen Yuxian were talking.

"There is news from the province of the palace. In the harem, the emperor has only been to Kunning Palace and Yonghe Palace. And there was only one person who went to Zichen Palace. What the emperor and Concubine Ya said in the Zichen Palace, it is unknown. But after Concubine Ya left, the emperor's mood was not very good, and even the rewards he had ordered before were suspended. ”

Shen Yuxian said the news he got from the palace, and his face was not very good-looking. Although what this news said is not accurate, it is obvious that what Concubine Ya said must be unfavorable to the Shen family, otherwise this reward would not have stopped for no reason.

Concubine Ya gave Emperor Changtai the Shen family's eye medicine, why is this?

This is something that Shen Yuxian can't understand. Concubine Ya is a harem concubine, and solid favor is the first priority, it stands to reason that it is necessary to win over the important ministers around the emperor, how can there be slander and discord? Besides, the Shen family and Concubine Ya have never intersected, no grudges and no kindness, why did she do this?

"yes, I'd like to know why she did that. Let Shen Qi think of a way, the chess pieces in the Yonghe Palace must go further. Shen Huashan's face was very serious, and he instructed Shen Yuxian like this.

Shen Qi is a person who came out of the Shen family's thoughts. Over the years, he has been in Ruliu's place, in charge of Ruliu's group of inter-visitors in Jingzhao, and after Shen Yuhong and Shen Ning left Jingzhao one after another, Ruliu's affairs are equivalent to him being in charge.

Although Shen Huashan didn't know why Concubine Ya did these things, this did not prevent him from knowing one thing clearly: Concubine Ya was friend or foe!

Before Shen Ning got married, he told Shen Huashan in detail about Concubine Ya's previous life. At that time, Concubine Ya was still the prince of the East Palace, and it was from that time that Shen Qi began to send people to Concubine Ya.

However, after all, the time was too short, and the person was sent to Yonghe Palace, but he was not close to Wen's side, and his role was limited.

At that time, people were sent in, just as a precaution. The previous life that Shen Ning knew was too different from this life, and what had happened did not mean that it would happen again. When it comes to the rise and fall of the family, Shen Huashan does not dare to ignore anything, and Shen Qi will arrange manpower.

But I didn't expect that these precautions would really come into play. No matter what the forces behind Concubine Ya are, and no matter what she is doing these things for, there is only one thing the Shen family can do: punish them for committing crimes!

"Since Concubine Ya has such a leisure to take care of the affairs of the court, then let her be busy. Go get your mother to come and visit. The first emperor's seven-seventh sacrifice has passed, and at this time, you can also hand the sign to the palace and go to see the queen mother. Shen Huashan said with a smile.

Although his tone was unpleasant, the anger hidden in his words made Shen Yuxian slightly stunned.

Grandfather is angry......

On the second day, Shen Yu handed a sign to the palace, asking to see the Empress Dowager Rong in Shouning Palace and greet her. This request was quickly replied to by the palace. Empress Dowager Rong had an edict and summoned Shen Yu into the palace.

After Emperor Jingxing ascended the throne, Emperor Changtai's empress Jiang was honored as the queen mother and moved to Cining Palace; And Emperor Jingxing's biological mother, Emperor Changtai's Concubine Rong, was revered as the Queen Mother of the Virgin Mary and moved to Shouning Palace.

This is the empress dowager of the two palaces of Emperor Jingxing, and the courtiers also call it Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Dowager Rong.

In terms of status, Empress Dowager Jiang is more respected than Empress Dowager Rong, but in fact, the Empress Dowager of Cining and Shouning are in court.

For Emperor Jingxing, Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Dowager Gao, one is the mother-in-law and the other is the biological mother, who is more important, it is naturally self-evident. Therefore, in the minds of the courtiers, Empress Dowager Rong is much more important than Empress Dowager Jiang.

The courtiers thought that Empress Dowager Rong was more important, and flattery and other things were indispensable. In Empress Dowager Rong, of course, she took the route of the woman in the house. After the first emperor's 77th memorial, there were more Mrs. Edict who handed the sign to Shouning Palace, and the reason was to ask the Queen Mother for peace.

For these brands of Mrs. Command, Empress Dowager Rong will reject them all, and their thoughts, Empress Dowager Rong will not not understand; She also understands that behind these fateful ladies is the force she wants to win over for her own emperor; But what she understands better is that not long after her emperor ascended the throne, it is most correct to be quiet and not to move, and to do less and see less.

But Shen Yu, she met with her.

"Mrs. Shen doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly. Thin the branches and set a seat for Mrs. Shen. In Shouning Palace, Empress Dowager Rong looked at Shen Yu, who was kneeling, and said.

Empress Dowager Rong looked at Shen Yu with a smile. Over the years, the Shen family's help to her and Emperor Jingxing was clear to Empress Dowager Rong. From Concubine Rong to the current Empress Dowager Rong, every step she takes is actually indispensable for the Shen family to help behind her back. Otherwise, how could she, a person with no clan behind her and a person from the court, have today's honor?

Empress Dowager Rong felt this and was quite kind to Shen Yu's family.

Empress Dowager Rong's kindness, Shen Yu's family felt it, and responded with a grateful expression on her face, but she sighed in her heart: Empress Dowager Rong is kind to the Shen family, but why doesn't she remember this from Emperor Jingxing? Although the old lady did not explicitly say anything about the court, if Emperor Jingxing was like the Empress Dowager Rong to the Shen family, he would not have to go to the palace today.

Thinking of this, Shen Yushi said: "I should have entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother." It's just that family troubles have been going on lately. Several grandchildren are making a lot of noise, especially after the second daughter-in-law went to Xining Road, the women have not been idle for a day. also thought that the Queen Mother must have breathed and recuperated, and did not dare to disturb more. Please forgive the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager Rong waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite, the Shen family's intentions for the mourning family are also known to the mourning family." Blessed are you, children and grandchildren, and you are a blessed ......."

After that, Empress Dowager Rong's tone was a little lonely. After Emperor Changtai died, her life calmed down and moved to this Shouning Palace, which was more like being isolated from the world.

Originally, the queen was pregnant, which was the happiest thing for her, and she also thought that after the queen gave birth to her own grandson, she would add a lot of excitement to this Shouning Palace.

But I never thought about it...... Alas.

Thinking of the male fetus that the queen had fallen earlier, Empress Dowager Rong was not in a good mood. At that time, Empress Dowager Rong was also in the Chonghua Palace, but she didn't see what was going on. How could Princess Yong wrestle at that time? The queen just fell, and the five-month-old fetus couldn't be saved.

Empress Dowager Rong has been in the palace for decades, so she naturally knows that such an accident will definitely not be an accident. But before she could find out the truth, the attendants and palace maids in the Chonghua Hall were all killed by the queen.

Although she felt heartache for the queen's miscarriage, Empress Dowager Rong also secretly blamed the queen for being too anxious. The people who stumbled behind the back have not been found, and the staff killed those palace maids and maids, and the clues were broken, but the gains outweighed the losses!

"The queen mother is blessed, the queen is healthy, and the heir of the emperor will be worry-free. Besides, the first emperor's 77th memorial has passed, once the emperor's harem is full, when the emperor's grandson and heir are born, the queen mother, the imperial grandmother, will also be like a people's woman, and she will not be idle for a day......," Shen Yu said with a smile.

Shen Yu firmly believes that the Empress Dowager Rong has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and what she lacks most is not respect and flattery, but the words of such peers, as well as the little affection and warmth between these words. Shen Yu talked about these children and grandchildren, just like ordinary people.

Only the words spoken by those close to you can reach the ears.

Empress Dowager Rong listened to Shen Yu's words. Once the emperor's harem is full? yes, she almost forgot that! In the harem of his own emperor, there are only a few people now, except for the queen, there are only the three concubines of De, Shu and Ya, and some low-ranking nobles and lovers have never been allocated.

This is not good for the country. According to the ancestral system, the first emperor died, and the new emperor only had to keep filial piety for three months. It seems that it is time to start the matter of Zhang Luo's draft for the emperor! When the emperor is full of filial piety in March, these fresh and lovely people can just enter the palace!

Thinking of the withering of the royal bloodline, Empress Dowager Rong decided to summon officials from Zongzheng and the Ministry of Rites to inquire about the matter one day.

Looking at Empress Dowager Rong's thoughtful expression, Shen Yu knew that Empress Dowager Rong had listened to the words of the old lady. reminded Empress Dowager Rong about the draft, this is the purpose of her entering the palace.

After Shen Yu left Shouning Palace, Empress Dowager Rong was bent on thinking about the draft for Emperor Jingxing, and the more she thought about it, the more important she felt about it. Because of thinking about these things, her whole person seemed very energetic.

The sparse branches on the side saw it and only felt happy. Since the death of Emperor Changtai, the Empress Dowager Rong seems to have no interest in life, especially after the queen has been aborted, and she has no spirit, but she never thought that Mrs. Shen just said this, and the Empress Dowager is different from the past, which is really good.

That night, when Emperor Jingxing came to Shouning Palace to ask for peace, Empress Dowager Rong told him about it.

"Draft?" Emperor Jingxing looked at the Empress Dowager Rong, who was a little excited, and didn't react for a while.

"Yes, the draft! The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, it is determined by the ancestral system, the first emperor died, and the emperor kept filial piety for three months. The month of March is fast approaching. The mourning family thought that for the sake of Dayong's national glory and Dayong's imperial heir, the draft could also be carried out. Besides, your harem is too thin now. Empress Dowager Rong's tone was a little more cheerful than usual.

"But......" Emperor Jingxing wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. The new emperor ascended the throne and filled the harem, which is also the most important thing. Empress Dowager Rong had never mentioned it before, and the surrounding officials had not made it clear, so Emperor Yijingxing had almost forgotten about this matter.

The harem is too thin, which is not conducive to Guozuo. Of course, he knows this simple truth.

"Obey the will of the Queen Mother. The queen is now recuperating in Kunning Palace, and this draft will bother the queen mother. Thinking of this simple truth, Emperor Jingxing said to Empress Dowager Rong like this.

He ascended the throne as the emperor, and in the harem, of course, there must be a new atmosphere. It is the emperor's heavy responsibility to extend the emperor's heir for the great eternity.

But everything related to the throne is something that Emperor Jingxing cares about. This draft, he also thinks, is the time.
