Even though it's winter, the sun is still shining at noon.

At the back door of the Xu Mansion, a black-shed carriage quietly drove out and drove rapidly along the small and spacious alley. The curtain of the car was flying, and a person sitting in the carriage could be vaguely seen, but the speed of the car was extremely fast, so that the faces of the people in the carriage could not be seen on either side of the road.

The carriages and horses gradually drove into the wide bluestone road, which was a necessary road to the Qi Palace, and every morning morning, those Jingguan and the wheels of the carriages could be seen everywhere on this road.

It was noon, and there weren't many pedestrians on the road, so the carriage sped along the bluestone road for a while, and then turned into a narrow alley. Soon, it drove out of the roadway again.

Approaching the palace wall, the speed of the car gradually slowed down, and the muscles on the horse's body tensed, and the pace was not heavy.

The carriage stopped near the palace gate, and a woman dressed in a maid's dress jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly to the palace gate. Not long after, I saw a little palace maid come out to greet him. Xu Yujing also got out of the carriage and followed the little palace maid to the palace.

The woman in the maid's dress kept her head down, following behind, her footsteps silent, as if she was a shadow.

Finally, Xu Yujing and the maids around her could stay alone in the flower hall of Lantai Palace to wait for tea, and she let out a long sigh. It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, she remembered the scene when the little palace maid looked back at her just now, and she still had palpitations, but fortunately the other party didn't suspect it.

waited in the flower hall for a while, and then waited for Concubine Chen to come to see her. I haven't seen her for a few days, Concubine Chen's complexion is much better than when she came to see her that day, Liu Eryue silently followed Concubine Chen's side, her face was a little solemn.

Xu Yujing pursed her lips and looked at Liu Eryue's expression, she suddenly became a little nervous, and her hands unconsciously held on to the armrests of the chair.

"Courtier Yujing, please say hello to Concubine Chen." Xu Yujing looked at Shen Yunzhen and sat down slowly, only then did she remember to kneel down and say goodbye.

Shen Yun really stared at her for a while, and then her eyes slowly turned to the maid standing behind Xu Yujing.

Looking at each other, Shen Yunzhen hooked the corners of her lips and pointed at her: "This face is familiar?" ”

Xu Yujing glanced back, and then knelt down again: "Back to Concubine Chen, the courtiers meet Lu Guo...... on the road"

Shen Yunzhen raised her hand slightly, signaling Xu Yujing not to continue. Xu Yujing pursed her lips, and slowly lowered her head at a loss.

"Princess Jiahui came here like this, what is the so-called thing?" She asked.

Before Princess Lu Guo spoke, Xu Yujing preemptively said: "The princess is here for the peace between Daqi and Lu State, and the courtiers think that this matter is beneficial to the country and the people, so they risk death to lead the princess into the palace to see Concubine Chen." ”

"Presumptuous!" Liu February's low scolding: "Does the second lady know that it is a taboo in the palace to lead outsiders into the palace privately?" ”

"The courtiers know," Xu Yujing raised her head and looked at Shen Yunzhen squarely: "But the courtiers think that Concubine Chen Niangniang understands the righteousness and must be willing to do whatever it takes for the peace between the two countries." ”

Shen Yunzhen stared at Xu Yujing, staring at her slightly green young face. The childish face revealed an inexplicable resoluteness. Shen Yunzhen lowered her eyelids and said to Liu February: "Second Miss is confused, you call someone to inform Mrs. Xu to enter the palace and bring Second Miss back." ”

"Concubine Chen!" Yu Jing shouted, kneeling and moving a few steps forward: "The courtier is not confused, the courtier knows what she is doing." And this matter, the courtiers also discussed it with their mother, and she also agreed. ”

Liu February's eyebrows and said: "Second Miss, Concubine Chen's mother is doing this for your own good, so you don't want a child's temper." ”

"Niangniang, the courtiers are doing this for the peace of the two countries, think about it, how many sacrifices and how much bloodshed will be required to fight a war? They are all the people of Daqi! ”

Shen Yunzhen looked at her indifferently, and then looked at Princess Lu Guo behind Yujing, and after a long time, Shen Yunzhen asked: "Princess Jiahui wasted so much strength to enter the palace, don't you want to say a word?" ”

Princess Lu Guo smiled slightly: "As the second lady said, this princess is doing this for the peace of the two countries. If Concubine Chen is willing to listen to me......"

"Bengong doesn't want to hear it," Shen Yun really looked at her: "Bengong thinks that the princess should listen to Bengong say a few words." ”

Princess Lu Guo looked at her happily: "Listen to me." ”

Shen Yunzhen snorted indifferently, and said to Xu Yujing: "Second Miss, you go out first." ”

Xu Yujing was at a loss, and seeing that Shen Yunzhen was resolute, there was no room for negotiation, so she had to purse her lips and obediently withdraw from the flower hall.

Only Shen Yunzhen, Liu February, and the princess of Lu Guo were left in the flower hall, the windows were bright and clean, and a Boshan stove was spitting out cigarettes faintly.

Shen Yunzhen* fiddled with the nails that had just been dyed with impatiens, and said to her, "This scene, is it too much?" ”

Princess Lu Guo sighed in her heart, she didn't expect Shen Yun to suddenly say such a sentence. She couldn't guess what Shen Yun really wanted to say for a while, but she felt empty-hearted.

She quietly looked at Shen Yunzhen's eyes, which were extremely bright and clear eyes, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that her eyes were like torches.

The other party seemed to see everything, and those blazing eyes seemed to see through her. Princess Lu Guo couldn't help but shudder, but she instinctively made a puzzled look, she looked at the other party in a daze, and asked, "What is Concubine Chen talking about?" ”

She was visibly short of breath, which even Liu Eryue could detect.

Shen Yunzhen glanced at her indifferently, and said leisurely: "General Xu is one of the heroes of my Great Qi Auxiliary State, and everyone knows that this second lady of the Xu family is an excellent candidate to enter the palace as a concubine, and this young lady is from the people, and she doesn't know politics and is not very good at tricks, so it is really a very smart choice for you to choose to use such a person." ”

The word "utilization" pierced her heart for a moment, and her heart beat wildly again.

There is no doubt that Shen Yun's every sentence really poked her nerves, but she is not a fledgling child who has no experience in the world, so a few words that are not painful will not scare her.

"Oh, really?" Princess Lu Guo looked at Shen Yunzhen indifferently: "Miss Xu and I are bent on planning for the peace of Daqi and Lu Guo, does Concubine Chen think this is a kind of use?" Isn't that too narrow-minded? ”

"Narrow-mindedness is not narrow-mindedness, only the princess knows it in her heart." Shen Yunzhen's gaze gradually condensed, and she stabbed at Princess Lu Guo sharply: "If the princess really has the heart to promote peace talks, from the beginning, she shouldn't have done such a despicable thing." Now that you have involved the second lady again, you keep saying that you are for peace, but in fact you are only doing this to provoke the relationship between my emperor and General Xu. Am I right? ”

Princess Lu Guo's expression gradually became serious, and she glared at the bright woman in front of her.

No wonder, no wonder that person kept reminding her to beware of Concubine Chen, she was really smart.

But she can't admit that she lost, in the political competition, everyone is a good actor with a mask, before the curtain ends, no matter how difficult it is, she must resolutely act to the end.

After a long time, she laughed: "Concubine Chen Niangniang is really a genius who makes up stories, this method of telling right and wrong, and reversing black and white is really amazing." No wonder you can sit on the throne of Concubine Chen. ”

When Liu Eryue heard her say this, she was immediately a little annoyed, and before she could reprimand, Shen Yunzhen raised her hand to stop her.

"I think the princess not only does not want to bring about peace, but wants to create a situation where the two countries are in a state of chaos." Shen Yun said lightly.

"Oh?" Princess Lu Guo suddenly looked at Shen Yunzhen with interest on her face: "I don't understand this." ”

The two eyes are intertwined, like an invisible contest, I don't know who loses and who wins, but from the perspective of momentum, Princess Lu Guo is not willing to show weakness at all.

Shen Yunzhen didn't want to explain to her, the other party was obviously pretending to be confused.

Shen Yunzhen stared at Princess Lu Guo, and said, "What kind of ecstasy soup did the princess drink for Yujing?" How could she speak for you so actively? Could it be that the princess caught some tricks from the Xu family? ”

Princess Lu Guo smiled coldly and asked rhetorically, "What handle can the Xu family have?" ”

Liu Eryue frowned, the reaction of this "Princess of Lu Guo" was very fast, she looked at Shen Yunzhen solemnly, but saw Shen Yunzhen shook her head: "What handle does the princess hold, when the three sessions are tried and the punishment is added, the princess will naturally tell the truth." ”

Princess Lu Guo's face changed suddenly, she stood up suddenly, and glared at Shen Yunzhen fiercely: "I am the dignified Princess Lu Guo, how dare you punish me without authorization?" ”

Shen Yunzhen also stood up and said coldly: "If it is really the princess of Lu Kingdom, this palace naturally does not dare, but what if you are not?" ”

Princess Lu Guo's face gradually became ugly, dull as lime, she looked at Shen Yunzhen for a long time before she asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's not interesting," Shen Yun looked at her firmly: "This palace is just questioning your identity." ”

"Haha," Princess Lu Guo laughed dryly, and looked at her slyly: "It's really ridiculous, will the dignified Princess Lu Guo be fake?" ”

Shen Yunzhen also looked at her slyly: "Although the people of Lu Guo are open, they are not ashamed of etiquette. Maybe Princess Lu Guo will disguise herself as a man as an envoy, but she is not so shameless as to take the initiative to untie her clothes and throw herself into her arms. ”

"Really? Concubine Chen must be the princess in her arms like this, not your Emperor Qi who covets beauty? Princess Lu Guo's expression gradually became arrogant, and she had a bit of the arrogance of a weathered woman.

Liu Eryue flattened his mouth and almost laughed.

Beauty? There are many concubines of Daqi, from the former concubines to Shen Yunzhen today, big and small, high and low, there are countless beauties, all of them are bright and beautiful, which one is not much more beautiful than her?

Shen Yunzhen glanced at Liu Eryue with her eyebrows, and then said to Princess Lu Guo: "The royal family of Lu State has strict etiquette and pays great attention to women's manners. Every princess has had someone to teach her manners since she can remember, and she has not been slack off for a day. The women taught in this way are extremely dignified and atmospheric, and their joy and anger are invisible. There will never be a woman like you with a hunched chest and a shooting star. ”
