133 Rebellion for the Seizure of the Throne
"There is a new Dan in the Yixing class, and the appearance is extremely beautiful, the seventh prince, you will appreciate your face and comment today." The class master immediately bowed and said.
Zhao Zheng hummed, turned around and continued upstairs.
The play did not start for a while, and Zhao Zheng and Shen Yuexi sat in the box on the second floor, and the atmosphere was dull.
Shen Yuexi fiddled with a silk handkerchief in her hand and didn't speak, she didn't quite understand the purpose of Zhao Zheng's coming to Yixing Class to watch the play. Do you want to come to find out the truth and see if the class owner knows He Meisheng's whereabouts?
Although there were doubts in her heart, Shen Yuexi didn't ask, Zhao Zheng was sulking in her heart at the moment, she didn't want to annoy him. Moreover, in the end, this matter has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't have to be too enthusiastic.
She accompanied Zhao Zheng to watch the play in silence, left the scene in silence, and returned to the house in silence.
Zhicui prepared the bathing water, and when Shen Yuexi was bathing, she chatted with Zhicui without a match, Shen Yuexi asked her what had happened in the house these days, and Zhicui answered them one by one.
Speaking of Hexi's matter, Zhicui lowered his voice and shook his head, "I don't know how much the little one has, and the housekeeper doesn't let us discuss it in private, and we only know that Mrs. Xi took the money in the house and left with Miss Tilt, so I don't know how much." ”
Shen Yuexi couldn't help but admire in her heart, Steward Yang was really good at governing the house, but such a big thing controlled the rumors so well.
"Where's Xiugu? She must be the most informed. Shen Yuexi asked again.
"After Mrs. Xi left, Aunt Xiu quit her job, and I heard that she was going back to her hometown to get married." Zhicui replied.
"So have there been any visitors to the house these days?" Shen Yuexi thought, maybe his brother Shen Yi had come to the palace.
"Naturally, there are many people who come to take refuge in a prominent family like our Kangping Palace, but these people are all received by the housekeeper, and which round of slaves and maids knows who is who." Zhicui replied truthfully.
That's right. Shen Yuexi nodded and didn't ask any more. It seems that she will go to the housekeeper's mouth to find out the wind another day.
At night, Zhao Zheng fell asleep with Shen Yuexi in his arms, and did not say anything about Hexi, and Shen Yuexi did not ask.
"Catch Ming'er to enter the palace to meet the queen mother." After a long time, Zhao Zheng said.
Oh. Shen Yuexi agreed, although she didn't want to see the Queen Mother, but since she was married to Zhao Zheng, this kind of meeting was also impossible.
But at the same time, she has great expectations for entering the palace, she really wants to see the emperor's attitude towards her, when he knows that she is Shen Yuexi, will he kill her or imprison her?
She wanted to see the scene where Zhao Zheng and Zhao Guang brothers turned against each other on the spot.
Thinking of this, an imperceptible smile swelled on the corners of Shen Yuexi's mouth, Ming'er's entry into the palace is really exciting.
The next day, Shen Yuexi put on a grand princess uniform, put on gorgeous makeup, followed Zhao Zheng's side, and walked into the palace proudly.
They went to Fushou Palace, gave gifts to the Queen Mother, and made a big gift, and the Queen Mother gave the seat.
"I've been out for so long, and I haven't been in the capital for years, how is it? Have fun? The Queen Mother looked at Shen Yuexi and asked with something in her words.
"Thank you Queen Mother, with the Seventh Prince by her side, the concubines are naturally happy." Shen Yuexi replied with a smile.
"Should you be happy, I don't know whether to say that your life is hard or good, since you entered the Kangping Palace, a princess died, a side concubine ran away, and now you are the only one left, no one fights and no one grabs, how happy should life be." The Queen Mother said meaningfully.
Hearing the Queen Mother mention Hexi's escape, Zhao Zheng's face was a little ugly, and the Queen Mother saw it, so she said: "The mourning family often tells the emperor that although there are many women in the harem, they must be treated equally. ”
"The queen mother doesn't have to worry, the sons and daughters will not take any more concubines in the future, and naturally there will be no more incidents." Zhao Zheng said lightly.
Zhao Zheng's words made the Queen Mother a little annoyed, "Don't say this kind of child's play, the people in your palace are so thin, naturally you want to take more concubines, spread branches and leaves for the palace, and prosper the royal family," said, the Queen Mother looked at Shen Yuexi, "Yue Xi, you say, should the seventh prince take more concubines?" ”
The Queen Mother threw this question to Shen Yuexi, she knew that now Zhao Zheng was doting on Shen Yuexi, so she naturally thought about her everywhere, maybe she would no longer take concubines, and this kind of thing was what Shen Yuexi taught Zhao Zheng to say.
"The seventh master is such a big person, he naturally has his ideas, and the concubine, as the concubine of the seventh master, dare not say much." Shen Yuexi replied with a smile.
What a cunning girl. The Queen Mother snorted coldly in her heart, a fox-like girl, her words are beautiful, but her words reveal the meaning of her nosy old woman.
"You are the Seventh Princess, naturally you have to be a virtuous helper, these things should have been you to help Zhang Luo, even if the Seventh Prince doesn't say it, you should also help the Seventh Prince to take a few more concubines." The Queen Mother went back again.
"The concubine has written it down, if there is a suitable candidate, the concubine will help the seventh prince pay attention." The smile on Shen Yuexi's face was still the same, and she agreed happily.
The Queen Mother felt relieved, and then looked at Zhao Zheng and asked, "What are you going to do with that Hexi?" Just let her go? ”
"Erchen will bring Tilt back." Zhao Zheng didn't answer Hexi's matter positively, but only said this.
The Queen Mother sighed, afraid that Zhao Zheng would be unhappy if she talked about it more, so she simply stopped talking about it.
"After a while, your imperial brother will come to say goodbye to the mourning family after the morning court, your brother hasn't seen him for a few days, so let's talk." The Queen Mother said.
Zhao Zheng nodded.
But the time to wait for the emperor was a long blank, and Shen Yuexi was really bored, so she got up and asked: "The concubine wants to go out for a walk, and now it's going to be summer, and the flowers and plants have grown, it must be very good-looking." ”
If it was in the past, the Queen Mother would have happily followed along, but now it is different, the Queen Mother just nodded, and then watched Shen Yuexi leave Fushou Palace alone.
Zhao Zheng wanted to follow, but was called down by the Queen Mother, firstly, she still had something to say to Zhao Zheng, and secondly, she didn't want Shen Yuexi to be so proud everywhere, and Zhao Zheng was escorting her wherever she went.
Out of Fushou Palace, Shen Yuexi took a deep breath, and then decided to go to Zhao He's previous palace for a walk, there is a tall ancient tree in her yard, and now it should grow branches and leaves.
Walking under the palace wall, from time to time there are palace people and palace maids to greet her, with the princess uniform on her body, the palace people and palace maids can accurately shout the princess's good words.
Shen Yuexi looked at these people, thought of Chen Lingxiu, and thought of Pang Shicong, and the palace maid she had never seen, in this palace, three lives died just because of her, and what about the others, I don't know how many unjust souls wandered among them, no wonder the palace is always gloomy.
Zhao He's palace is empty. The inner door is closed, and although it is about to enter summer, the courtyard gives people the feeling of late autumn.
Zhao He is no longer here, and there is no popularity here.
I don't know how she and Lang Kuo are now, she should have settled down. Shen Yuexi thought as she stretched out her hand and circled around the ancient tree.
Suddenly, she felt dizzy. Closed her eyes, stabilized for a while, and gradually recovered, she has always felt uncomfortable recently, but she can't tell what is unhappy.
Maybe after such a long journey, the body has not yet recovered.
Leaving Zhao He's former dormitory, Shen Yuexi walked aimlessly in the palace, estimating that it was almost time before returning to Fushou Palace.
In Fushou Palace, Zhao Guang had already arrived, talking to the Queen Mother and Zhao Zheng.
After Shen Yuexi walked in, Zhao Guang looked at her thoughtfully.
"The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is safe." Shen Yuexi greeted Zhao Guang politely.
Zhao Guang smiled, "The Seventh Princess looks very good, it seems that this hike is very satisfactory." ”
"Thanks to the blessing of the Seventh Master, everything is happy and smooth." Shen Yuexi simply admitted.
"I heard you went to the Frontier?"
"Who did the emperor listen to?"
Zhao Guang's eyes darkened for a moment, "My people are all over the world, who said it matters?" ”
Shen Yuexi hurriedly smiled, "It's the concubine who is offended, the whole world belongs to the emperor, what do you not know." ”
Zhao Zheng mentioned his vigilance on the side, and the emperor would never be unintentional when he talked about the frontier at this time.
"Queen Mother, do you remember when I told you that the Seventh Princess's eyebrows and eyes are like a person?" Zhao Guang didn't answer Shen Yuexi's words, and asked the Queen Mother instead.
Well? The Queen Mother answered, looking at Shen Yuexi's face, "Who is it like?" ”
"Shen Qingshan."
"Shen Qingshan?" The Queen Mother repeated the name, and was surprised, "Could it be that she is Shen Qingshan's daughter?" ”
Zhao Guang nodded.
Shen Yuexi smiled and asked unhurriedly, "What evidence does the emperor have to prove that the concubine is Shen Qingshan's daughter?" ”
"Why don't you ask who Shen Qingshan is first?" Zhao Guang's question is meaningful.
"Although the concubine is lonely and unheard, but I have also heard the ancestors talk about the affairs of the court, Shen Qingshan was the head of the previous dynasty, during the reign to promote many policies to enrich the people, the concubine's hometown is one of the beneficiaries, if it is not for the court to control the water is unfavorable, it should be a rich land of fish and rice." Shen Yuexi was not timid at all, and said awe-inspiringly.
The four words that water control is unfavorable hit Zhao Guang's sore spot, and he twisted his eyebrows and said: "Shen Qingshan has meritorious deeds, if he hadn't recited his original merits, it would have been a capital crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, and he would not have been distributed." ”
"Who has the final say on merit or demerit? Is it the people of the world or your emperor's words? Shen Yuexi stared at Zhao Guang, and when she said this, she felt happy, and she had held these words in her heart for a long time.
Zhao Guang was stunned by the question.
"Yuexi, Hugh is frivolous," Zhao Zheng scolded Shen Yuexi at the right time, and then stretched out his hand to her, "Come and sit." ”
"Don't sit." Zhao Guang came back to his senses and said angrily.
This Shen Yuexi's sharp teeth are really annoying, the daughter of a criminal minister, she is not kneeling and begging for mercy at the moment, but she is still arguing with him about what is right and which is wrong, how can it not be annoying.
"You say, are you Shen Yuexi, the daughter of Shen Qingshan?" Zhao Guang asked.
Zhao Guang knew that Shen Yuexi's identity was the Seventh Princess at this moment, because he was so implicated, he couldn't punish him immediately, but he also had to suppress Shen Yuexi's arrogance, at least give her a charge within the royal family, and detain her.
"I said, don't you believe it, your majesty? Your Majesty, you said that I am, so is there evidence? Shen Yuexi asked rhetorically.
"Evidence," Zhao Guang sneered, "Let Shen Yi, who is on death row, come out and recognize it, and you will know whether you are or not." ”
Shen Yi, who was on death row, knocked Shen Yuexi down in an instant with these words, and the feeling of dizziness came up again, she looked at Zhao Zheng, and shouted "Seventh Master" before fainting.
