After the Mid-Autumn Festival, after Shen Zexi's marriage was decided, Shen Kaishan left Jingzhao and went to Lingnan to take up a job.

Shen Zexi was naturally very reluctant to leave his father, and his mood was depressed for a while, and he didn't know that he was about to marry the county lord at this time.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Ning's mood also had a lot of emotions, but it had nothing to do with Shen Kaishan's departure, but because of the five princes' official rule. In the past few days, Shangguan Changzhi has visited the Shen family under different names, and has constantly sent generous gifts to Shen Ning, which makes Shen Ning very annoyed.

Ye Zhengchun Zhishi, the vacancy of Shangshu's right servant, like all the previous vacant positions, has caused all forces in Jingzhao to take turns to snatch it, especially at this moment of seizing the heir, this position is even more important.

At this time, the news came that Emperor Changtai's confidant Chunchen, the former Shangshu's right servant Gan Mingquan, had died of illness, and Emperor Changtai was deeply saddened, so that the replacement candidate for Shangshu's right servant was not determined for a long time.

At this point, there was also an official of the Imperial History Observatory who wrote: "Do not abolish state affairs because of people", but was reprimanded by Emperor Changtai for other reasons. Therefore, all the officials knew that Emperor Changtai was going to reserve this position for the next generation of emperors, and the disputes caused by this position subsided.

The position of Shangshu's right servant was temporarily unthinkable, and Shangguan Changzhi began to pay attention to the Shen family and Shen Ning. Because all kinds of things have been delayed for so long, he thinks that the family affairs of the Five Princes' Mansion and the Shen family should also be put on the agenda.

Shen Ning was married in less than two months, and Shangguan Changzhi planned to ask Emperor Changtai for the will of marriage after Shen Ning and Xuan.

Although the Shen family has not been able to express their position for a long time due to various concerns, in Shangguan Changzhi's mind, Shen Ning is already in his pocket. As long as he marries Shen Ning at that time. The Shen family is his wife's family, so the Shen family can't sever the connection with him, are you afraid that the Shen family won't fully support him?

I don't know why, Shangguan Changzhi told him that he would marry Shen Ning no matter what. Even if he knew that Shen Ning didn't have much affection for him, and even disgusted him, he didn't give up his thoughts.

In fact, there are not no families and officials who are quite powerful with the Shen family, but when his henchmen and staff mention marriage, he always lacks interest and thinks that it is most appropriate to marry Shen Ning.

As if there was a destiny in the dark, he felt that he and Shen Ning had a marriage in a previous life, so he didn't see Shen Ning's disgust, but went to the Shen family to visit him more frequently.

this day. Shangguan Changzhi "encountered" Shen Ning and Zheng Shaoyi who entered the palace outside the palace gate again, which was an opportunity that Shangguan Changzhi found with great difficulty.

There is no way, Shen Ning usually stays at home, only when she enters the palace at the invitation of the county lord of Rongping, Shangguan Changzhi can see her, of course, if there is no Zheng family girl accompanying her, Shangguan Changzhi will feel better.

"What a coincidence, I met two girls again. The county lord of Rongping invited two girls again? Outside the palace gate, Shangguan Changzhi greeted the two with a smile. But his eyes fell on Shen Ning with affection.

Zheng Shaoyi, who was on the side, saw that he was only focused on Shen Ning, and couldn't help but look darkened, then he covered it up, and returned the salute to Shangguan Changzhi with a smile.

Shen Ning looked at Shangguan Changzhi's obviously admiring gaze, and only felt ridiculous and sad in his heart.

She never knew that he would be like this when he looked at a person affectionately, his eyes were shining, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his previous life. Have you ever seen him look at him like this?

She doesn't remember. She only remembered the estimated years in the cold palace of Changchun and the hateful eyes of the palace maids, and she only remembered. How did I look at him with admiration in the first place?

Unexpectedly, after a lifetime, she and he reversed their roles. And when she looked upon him in this way, he destroyed her whole people; When he looked at her like that, she just wanted him to be ruined, and you think it's ridiculous?

One cause and one effect, all have a definite number!

Shangguan Changzhi looked at Shen Ning's obviously wandering expression, and knew that she didn't want to pay attention to him, and sighed secretly in his heart.

He himself has always paid attention to his reputation outside, and he believes that what is spread is a good reputation, and he and the Shen family have never had a bad relationship, on the contrary, in order to get the support of the Shen family, he has always been courteous to the Shen family, he really doesn't understand, why does she hate him so much?

I really can't figure it out, but one day, Shen Ning will be moved by him, and she will regret it then! Shangguan Changzhi thought so, and secretly played a round for himself. So even if Shen Ning was so rude, he didn't get angry, but said goodbye to them with a smile, with a good demeanor of a gentleman.

Zheng Shaoyi looked at the back of Shangguan Changzhi leaving, and sighed slightly: "No wonder the book says that a gentleman is like a jade, and a person like the Fifth Highness is worthy of these four words." ”

Shen Ning, who was on the side, didn't pay attention to the performance of Guan Changzhi's departure at all, and didn't hear what Zheng Shaoyi was saying clearly, she was thinking about how to reply to Concubine Rong.

"Yu Niangniang, grandfather, please rest assured, the marriage of the county lord of Rongping, the Shen family will definitely handle it properly." Taking advantage of Zheng Shaoyi's toilet break, Shen Ning conveyed Shen Huashan's meaning to Rong Guifei.

She didn't expect that her little uncle Shen Zexi was going to marry the county lord of Rongping, of course, she also knew that as soon as the news of Shen Zexi marrying the county lord of Rongping was announced, it meant that the Shen family was going to show their tendencies.

This tendency, Shen Huashan means that it is not yet time to show it, at least it will not be announced until the end of the year, and it will depend on Rong Guifei to dispatch in the middle.

"Hongu knows. I heard that the fifth prince has visited the Shen family a lot recently, what does your grandfather think about this? After confirming her sister's marriage, Concubine Rong took a sip of tea and began to ask her about the things she cared about.

This Shen family won't fight back, right? After all, the position of the Fifth Princesses is very attractive, and the Shen family will not choose the Five Princes, right? Although the Shen family took the initiative to surrender, Rong Guifei was still very worried, this Shen family, wouldn't it have other plans?

Rong Guifei's worries, Shen Ning knew it, Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing also knew that before Shen Ning entered the palace, Shen Huashan had already said: "The five princes come to the door frequently, and we can't obviously refuse, so we can only push Ning Er for a while because she hasn't had time to do it yet." However, I don't think the fifth prince will give up easily, and the Shen family will find a way to quickly settle Ning'er's marriage, but it will take a while; The best way is for the emperor to give another marriage for the five princes. Is there a way for this mother? ”

Shen Ning expressed Shen Huashan's words word for word, and her purpose in entering the palace this time was very clear, that is, to let Concubine Rong find a way to blow the pillow wind vigorously at Emperor Changtai.

It is best to be able to set a family affair for Shangguan Changzhi. This family business can't be too prominent, otherwise it will add power to Shangguan Changzhi in vain, and it will be more difficult for the twelve princes to ascend the throne in the future.

"This matter, this palace needs to think again, and it also takes time." Rong Guifei said that it is not difficult to set a family affair for the five princes, but it is extremely difficult to set a family background that is not prominent and can be matched.

Shangguan Changzhi is the dignified fifth prince, after the third prince was circled. Only he is an adult and unmarried, and Emperor Changtai will never treat him badly, and the in-laws selected for him are either nobles or powerful ministers.

She needed time to plan for it.

"Grandfather also said that it is better for Niangniang Duoduo and Concubine Mu to walk around." Shen Huashan didn't say this, it was added by Shen Ning himself.

Concubine Mu saved Emperor Changtai, she has the merit of saving the driver, she has a certain weight in Emperor Changtai's heart, Concubine Rong and Concubine Mu join forces to blow the pillow wind, Emperor Changtai will definitely be very disappointed.

Shen Ning knew better than anyone that the pillow wind of an emperor's favorite concubine was powerful. Thinking about her previous life, that woman's pillow wind caused Shangguan Changzhi to lose her fetus with his own hands, and Shangguan Changzhi could also destroy the entire Shen family!

In the Chunxi Palace, Shangguan Changzhi was also suggesting that Li Guifei blow the pillow wind to Emperor Changtai: "The staff all think that the father is thinking about the child's marriage at this time, but I don't know which family the father and emperor belong to." The mother concubine has to find a way to find out the relevant news from her father. And it is best to get the father to decree that the girl of the Shen family will be given to the child, which will be of great benefit to the child. ”

Li Guifei nodded, saying that she would find an opportunity to ask Emperor Changtai about related matters, but she didn't think it was in a hurry. One of the most valuable lessons she has learned over the years in the harem is to be patient. The more critical the situation, the more patient we must be.

Is there any way to get the emperor to marry the emperor and the Shen family? Li Guifei didn't have an idea for a while.

"Mother. The child already has a way, and the mother has to worry about it. Go to Kunning Palace to find the queen mother and do me a favor. Shangguan Changzhi said, when he saw Shen Ning outside the palace gate just now, he suddenly had an idea.

Isn't it the season for the autumn breeze to rise and enjoy chrysanthemums and crabs? As long as the queen comes forward to set up a banquet to invite the girl of the Jingzhao official's family. Shen Ning will definitely go to the banquet, and then he will have a way to make Shen Ning have to marry him!

"The queen mother has been much colder to me since the last time Lingzhi made trouble in Kunning Palace, I'm afraid she won't help with this." Regarding Shangguan Changzhi's words, Li Guifei was worried, and she didn't know if the queen was willing to help.

"Mother, please rest assured, the queen mother will definitely help, but the child has Jiang Bowen's handwritten letter in his hand, which is about seeking a concubine. The mother concubine only needs to mention the Jiang family briefly, and the queen mother will definitely agree to help for the honor of herself and the Jiang family. "Shangguan Changzhi is very confident in this.

After Shangguan Changzhi left the palace, he immediately summoned Xu Sansi, Li Ke'an and other staff members to improve his idea, he wanted to find a plan that was foolproof, and Shen Ning must be in his pocket. When he spoke his mind, the opinions of his staff were divided.

"Although this plan is good, it is also risky, and if it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of His Highness." This is what Xu Sansi said, and he felt a little risky. It is best to wait for the Shen family girl and Xu, and then ask the emperor for marriage, which is the safest way.

"The Shen family has not expressed their position for a long time, I am afraid that it is another idea. Your Highness's plan is very good, as long as we are careful and meticulous, we will be able to achieve our wish. Li Ke'an thinks it's a good idea, raw rice is cooked and cooked, so can Shen Ning still run? The marriage with the Shen family is completed, and His Royal Highness is one step closer to that position, otherwise, it will be too late for fear of accidents.

"That being said, this is always a means of the inner housewoman, and I am afraid that it will not be effective. Even if Shen Ning's innocence is ruined, only the Shen family abandons Shen Ning, just like Zhao Yuhua at the beginning! Well, it's all in vain! Xu Sansi thinks that this move is still inappropriate.

"Whether it's an inner house path or a woman's means, as long as it is useful, we should use it! With the Shen family's emphasis on Shen Ning, there will definitely not be a situation like the Zhao family! Shen Ning is just a name, a name that is above board and connected with the Shen family! Li Ke'an still insisted.

"Carry out this plan, this prince wants it to be foolproof!" Shangguan Changzhi has no interest in mediating the differences among his staff, he has already thought very clearly, and he can't wait any longer.

He resolutely gave the order that he must act according to the plan, and this time when he met Shen Ning outside the palace gate, he found that his urge to get her was even stronger, so strong that he couldn't wait for her to meet him.

That night, Shangguan Changzhi thought about that plan repeatedly, and his mood was extremely excited, and then he had a kind of anticipation, he wanted to know what kind of scene it would be like when Shen Ning was tactfully under him.

Thinking of this, he felt a strange restlessness, his blood was bulging, and he felt that his lower body was swollen. He hurriedly summoned the maids in the house, turned the clouds and rained, and then waited for the arrival of the day of the banquet.
