Xu Du was a general stationed in the Southern Xia frontier.

Shen Yi thought for a while, "I'm afraid it's still a few points away." ”

Shen Yi knows the clumsy army, the military discipline is strict, and the soldiers are all strong and brave, if they really fight, the clumsy army has a better chance of winning.

Huineng nodded and didn't speak again.

"In the future, Southern Xia and Northern Hu will go to war?" Shen Yi asked.

"Now this situation is inevitable."

Shen Yi frowned slightly, and thought about it, it is Zhao Zheng who is in power in Southern Xia now, and the general sent by Beihu to attack Southern Xia must be clumsy, and when the time comes, Clumsy and Zhao Zheng will meet on a narrow road, what will happen to Yuexi then?

The reason why Shen Yi was worried was because he knew how deeply he and Shen Yuexi were in love at that time.

Shen Yi also wanted to meet Shen Yuexi, but the current situation may be a little inconvenient, so he endured it, anyway, he is out of prison now, and he will have the opportunity to see him in the future, so he is not in a hurry at this time.

And Shen Yuexi stayed in the palace according to Zhao Zheng's intention because of the complicated situation during this time, and she didn't go anywhere, besides, she is now older, and it is inconvenient to go out, anyway, her brother is safe now, she is very relieved.

But in the past few days, there have suddenly been more visits to the palace, all of which are courtiers' relatives, all saying that the seventh princess is now pregnant and wants to come over to greet and visit.

Shen Yuexi looked at those prayer posts, put them on the table one by one, pondered for a long time, and rejected them all on the grounds that she was unwell.

The relationship between the courtiers in the court is intertwined, and the courtiers' relatives are also not to be underestimated, and the relationship between the courtiers is an extension of the relationship between the courtiers.

Now that Zhao is so powerful, there are naturally not a few relatives who want to climb Shen Yuexi. But now that the situation is too unclear, Shen Yuexi would rather stay out of the matter first, and after she gives birth, she has the energy, and then slowly looks at the relatives of these courtiers.

After packing up those prayer posts, Shen Yuexi went out for a walk. Zhou's mother said that the bigger a woman is, the more she must be active, otherwise she will have to suffer when she gives birth in the future.

Shen Yuexi and Zhicui walked in front, a few steps away, followed by several nursing homes, all of whom were specially selected by Zhao Zheng, presumably all of whom were not weak in martial arts.

Zhao Zheng is now dismissed as prime minister of Wu Zhichuan, and is succeeded by Bai Yongnian, who participated in Wu Zhichuan's politics in the past. Therefore, Zhao Zheng was prepared that Wu Zhichuan would come to the Kangping Mansion to retaliate.

Shen Yuexi knows everything, but there is no one to talk about it, Zhicui is a simple-minded person, she doesn't think about anything else at all except taking care of Shen Yuexi's daily life.

"I don't know if the seventh master will come back today." Shen Yuexi said abruptly.

Zhicui listened to it and thought for a while, "The slave doesn't know either." ”

Hearing Zhicui's brainless words, Shen Yuexi smiled helplessly and didn't say anything more.

At dinner, Zhao Zheng did not come back.

Shen Yuexi stood under the porch and waited until late at night, but Zhao Zheng still did not come back.

"Seventh Princess, it's time for you to rest, your feet should be swollen after standing for so long." Zhicui looked at the time too late and reminded.

Shen Yuexi sighed, turned around and walked back, but because she had stood for too long, her feet hurt a little, she paused, and returned to the bedroom with Zhicui's support.

Sitting on the couch, Zhicui helped Shen Yuexi take off her shoes, Shen Yuexi's feet were so swollen that Zhicui hurriedly asked her to lie down, raised the soles of her feet, and then gently helped Shen Yuexi rub her legs with her hands.

"You have to pay attention to rest, you can't walk like this all day long." Zhicui rubbed and persuaded.

Shen Yuexi listened with her eyes closed, did not speak, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Zhicui didn't wake her up when she saw it, took the quilt over, covered Shen Yuexi, and retreated.

**

Five days later, palace people came to the palace and invited Shen Yuexi into the palace.

Zhicui simply packed her bags and entered the palace with Shen Yuexi.

"How long are we going to stay in the palace?" On the way, Zhicui asked with some excitement.

"Maybe it's going to be a long time." Shen Yuexi lifted the carriage curtain, looked outside, and replied quietly.

Zhicui was even happier when she heard this, she liked the Imperial Palace, which was the most graceful and elegant place in the whole of Southern Xia, and she felt honored to live there. She didn't feel imprisoned in the slightest, because freedom was a vague concept to her.

"Entering the palace is not as good as being in the palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace, don't say too much, and others can just pretend not to know what to ask." Shen Yuexi reminded Zhicui that she was afraid that Zhicui would not be able to adapt to the complicated fight in the palace.

Well, Zhicui nodded vigorously, "Seventh princess, don't worry, the slave won't talk too much." ”

Shen Yuexi didn't say anything more, thinking that even if Zhicui entered the palace, she would always be by her side, and she didn't think there would be any big trouble.

After entering the palace, the palace people carried a delicate child to greet Shen Yuexi, and carried Shen Yuexi all the way to Yuxiu Palace, where she was about to live.

This is the harem, the prince is still young, and he has not married a wife, so Zhao Guang's concubines are still living in the original palace, and they are waiting outside Yuxiu Palace when they learn that the seven princesses are going to enter the palace, although Shen Yuexi is the concubine of a prince, but they can see the current situation clearly, if they want to live comfortably in the palace, they have to rely on the seventh princess.

As soon as Shen Yuexi got off the sedan chair, the palace people lifted the sedan curtain, and Shen Yuexi saw more than ten women in plain clothes standing in front of her.

The palace people were ready to introduce these former imperial concubines to Shen Yuexi, but those concubines were very discerning, stretched out their hands to stop the palace people, and then enthusiastically stepped forward and introduced themselves.

"You don't need to give a salute when you are big, our sisters are here today to get to know the Seventh Princess, and it is inevitable that you will have to move around often when you live in the harem." The first emperor and the concubine were the heads of all the concubines, and said with a smile to Shen Yuexi.

"That's nature," Shen Yuexi said to He Guifei with a smile, and then looked at everyone again, "Everyone has been waiting for so long on this big day, I just came here to be familiar with the environment of Xia Yuxiu Palace, and after that, I will invite everyone to come and drink tea." ”

Shen Yuexi's words were gentle, but these concubines were all human spirits, so they could naturally hear Shen Yuexi's words.

"Then our sisters won't bother the Seventh Princess, and we'll talk another day." and the concubine replied on behalf of everyone.

Shen Yuexi smiled and nodded, and then watched everyone turn around and walk away.

It was only after the concubines turned around the palace wall and disappeared that Shen Yuexi turned around and entered Yuxiu Palace.

The concubines also waited until they had turned the palace wall before they began to speak.

"The Seventh Princess is really a beauty, with such a big body, but her complexion is still as bright as a peach blossom." The youngest Ru Cairen said.

After only a year of entering the palace, Zhao Guang died.

Zhao Guang was obsessed with government affairs before his death, and he rarely entered the harem, so he rarely met this Ru talent.

Ru Cairen can count the number of times he has seen the emperor with his fingers, except for a few times he has slept in bed, and the rest can only see Zhao Guang at the palace celebration.

She was only 19 years old, and she became a surviving person in the palace, and her future life can be imagined as lonely and desolate.

"Speaking of which, you're the same age as the Seventh Princess." Gui Zhaoyi answered.

Ru Cairen secretly glanced at Gui Zhaoyi, but said: "Yes, the Seventh Princess is really blessed, she is not younger than you and me and became a surviving person." ”

These words sounded harsh, and the concubine turned her head and whispered a reprimand, "Although we are the first imperial concubine, we still have to have etiquette rules, and we are not allowed to say that we have these things." ”

Ru Cairen closed her mouth, but there was an angry expression on her face, she was not convinced, why did she become a widow at such a young age? Yes, it's a widow, even if she has the status of the former emperor's concubine, it's just a widow, she's still so young, she doesn't want to ruin her life like this.

"When the crown prince ascends the throne, where will we be sent?" Concubine Xixian, who never said much, asked lightly.

The crowd was silent, and no one answered. According to the rules of previous dynasties, those who have no heirs are nothing more than moving into a remote palace in the palace and waiting for death.

If there is a prince, it is better, and when the prince is an adult, he can leave the palace and go to live in his own fiefdom.

But now the princes are still young, and they will have to stay up for at least ten years before they can leave the palace, fortunately, for these concubines, no matter where they are, they are staying up to life, getting used to it, and being numb, so be it.

Ru Cairen is making other plans in his heart, now that the seventh princess lives in the harem, the seventh princess will often come to the harem in the future, and now the seventh princess is pregnant and can't serve the seventh prince, if she takes the opportunity to catch the seventh prince...... Thinking of this, Ru Cairen couldn't help but be a little excited.

It's man-made, she can't sit still, she has to fight for a way out for herself.

**

In Yuxiu Palace, Zhixiu struggled to think about the large group of people just now, and then asked Shen Yuexi in a tangled manner: "Seventh princess, who are those people just now, do you remember?" ”

"Pretty much." Shen Yuexi just remembered the names one by one, and the faces one by one.

"Oh my God, how do you remember? The slaves and maids looked at the clothes they were wearing, and they didn't seem to be much different. Zhicui tried to remember, but there was no face she remembered.

"How can it be the same, you look at that talented person, it seems that he is about the same age as me." Shen Yuexi said casually while looking at Yuxiu Palace.

Ru Cairen? Which one is Rucai? What does it look like? Zhicui doesn't remember at all.

"It's the one with red lip grease on his lips, who is young and loves beauty, even during the emperor's funeral, he still doesn't forget to decorate himself." Shen Yuexi reminded.

Zhicui tried to think about it, but still didn't remember.

Shen Yuexi sighed, "Okay, don't think about it anymore, anyway, if you have contacts in the future, you will slowly get to know each other." ”

Zhicui snorted and began to go into the house to clean up.

Shen Yuexi stood in the courtyard, looking up at the ancient tree in the courtyard, this kind of tree was also in Zhao He's palace in the past, Zhao He, what happened now?

Just thinking about it, someone from the palace came in to say goodbye.
