"This is some daily necessities sent by the Internal Affairs Department, the Seventh Princess, you have a look, what is the less to let the palace people go to the Internal Affairs Department to inform you, and send them to you immediately, the slave is Liu Heng, the director of the Internal Affairs Department, these are the palace people and palace maids selected by the Internal Affairs Department to listen to the errand in Yuxiu Palace, the Seventh Princess, take a look."

Liu Heng said, waved his hand to a few palace people outside Yuxiu Palace, and walked in with four palace maids and two palace people.

"Originally, I was going to send you a few more palace people and palace maids to serve, but the Seventh Prince said that you don't like a lot of people, so ......" Liu Heng observed Shen Yuexi's face as he spoke.

"What the Seventh Lord said is that I don't have anything to serve here, just leave two palace maids and one palace person." Shen Yuexi looked at those people and casually pointed to three of them that she looked at.

Liu Heng hurriedly glanced at the three people, and the three people bent over and greeted Shen Yuexi.

Zhicui came out of the house at this time, and Shen Yuexi introduced her to the three palace people, "This is my personal maid Zhicui, I will let her tell you anything in the future." ”

The three palace people nodded to each other with Zhicui.

Everything was in order, and Liu Heng took a few other palace people to retire.

In early autumn, the sun was very good, Shen Yuexi sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun, and the palace maids began to be busy cleaning the courtyard, but in fact, the courtyard had already been cleaned.

"Don't be busy, find a place to fly and sit and rest for a while, basking in the sun." Shen Yuexi watched them busy in the yard, and felt a little messy for them.

The palace people stopped and looked at each other, this kind of master who did not instruct them to work was the first time they had seen each other, so they looked at each other, a little at a loss.

"Go sit down." Shen Yuexi pointed to the bench under the corridor.

The three of them went over and sat down stiffly, looking at the sunny place and staring at it in a daze.

Zhicui took out the futon in the bedroom, dried it in the sun, and turned around and smiled at the palace people: "The seventh princess likes the futon to be fluffy and dry. ”

The palace people hurriedly nodded.

Then, Zhicui also found a place to sit down, and sat boredly. She is used to Shen Yuexi like this, and in the palace, Shen Yuexi often asks her to sit down and rest for a while and bask in the sun.

Since then, Zhicui has felt that basking in the sun can also be a happy thing.

The courtyard was quiet, and Zhao Zheng walked in.

The subordinates hurriedly got up to greet him, Zhao Zheng looked at the newcomers to the palace, did not speak, and walked straight to Shen Yuexi's side, "How?" Is this still what you want here? ”

"Seventh Master, the place you picked is naturally good." Shen Yuexi smiled and beckoned to Zhao Zheng, "Let's bask in the sun together." ”

Zhao Zheng sat down next to Shen Yuexi, held her hand, and raised his other hand to cover the sunlight shining on Shen Yuexi, "Your face is red." ”

Shen Yuexi leaned her head on Zhao Zheng, "I don't know why, I especially like to bask in the sun." ”

Zhao Zheng sat with Shen Yuexi for a while and said, "Let's go to Fushou Palace to meet the queen mother, and have lunch together." ”

Good. Shen Yuexi responded, got up with Zhao Zheng, and walked outside Yuxiu Palace.

After walking a short distance, I saw the Queen Mother coming here with a few palace people.

"I wanted to see you, but I didn't want you to come." After greeting An, Shen Yuexi said with a smile.

"The mourning family has nothing to do, I heard that you have moved in, so I will come and see, this Yuxiu Palace is still to your liking?" The Queen Mother asked.

Shen Yuexi looked at Zhao Zheng, "Seventh Master Gang also asked like this, naturally it is agreeable, Empress Dowager Lao is worried." ”

"It's okay to agree." The Queen Mother said and pointed to Yuxiu Palace, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look, let's use lunch in Yuxiu Palace today." ”

The group turned back again, looked around in the courtyard of Yuxiu Palace, and sat down in the courtyard.

"You guys have to wait carefully, the Seventh Princess is now big, and you have to be careful about everything." As soon as the Queen Mother sat down, she lectured to the subordinates of Yuxiu Palace.

Those palace people bowed their heads in response, secretly staggering Shen Yuexi's pomp, when the first emperor and concubine entered the palace, the queen mother never asked such daily trivial things in person, it can be seen that today's Nanxia is really the world of the Seven Princes.

Lunch, it was used in Yuxiu Palace, after lunch, the seventh prince returned to the Qinzheng Palace to review the folds, and the Queen Mother sat in Yuxiu Palace for a while.

After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother talked about the emptiness in Zhao Zheng's mansion.

"A prince, three wives and four concubines still have to have, you are now pregnant and can't serve the seventh prince, as a princess, you should also marry a few more concubines for the seventh prince, this is the duty of a virtuous princess." The Queen Mother said earnestly.

Be. Shen Yuexi nodded in response, "Does the Queen Mother have a favorite candidate?" ”

Seeing that Shen Yuexi agreed, the Queen Mother was very happy, and listed several young ladies of the minister's family, "These are women with good character and good looks, and the Seventh Prince will definitely like them." ”

"Since this is the case, the Queen Mother will introduce them to the Seventh Prince, if the Seventh Princes like it, the concubine will definitely help Zhang Luo get married." Shen Yuexi replied.

"Then in a few days, a chrysanthemum appreciation party will be held in the palace, and those famous women who have not yet come out of the pavilion will be invited, and let the Seventh Prince watch and choose by himself." The Queen Mother said.

Shen Yuexi smiled, which was a tacit acquiescence.

After saying what should be said, the Queen Mother did not stay longer and left Yuxiu Palace.

Shen Yuexi sent the Queen Mother out and stood in the courtyard for a while, Zhicui reminded her that she couldn't stand for too long, otherwise her feet would be swollen, Shen Yuexi entered the house and was half-lying on the couch.

After resting for a while, Shen Yuexi got up and called the new palace maid Wan'er to prepare refreshments, she was going to the Qinzheng Palace to see Zhao Zheng.

After Wan'er prepared the refreshments, Zhicui carried the snack box and accompanied Shen Yuexi to the Qinzheng Palace.

Along the way, Zhicui looked around and marveled at the magnificent architecture of the palace.

Shen Yuexi didn't squint all the way, she didn't have half a love for the palace, this place was just a magnificent big cage for her, enclosing people in it, there was no freedom, it consumed life, that's all.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Zheng was a little tired, and when he heard the palace people report that the Seventh Princess was coming, he put down the cinnabar pen, got up, and helped Shen Yuexi to his desk and asked her to sit down.

Shen Yuexi looked at the twists and turns piled up on the table, "Are these all things that the Seventh Master has to deal with every day?" ”

"This is only a small part, there are many folds, divided into categories, and the unimportant ones are handed over to the maintenance department by the ministers, otherwise I can't handle so many things even if I have three heads and six arms." Zhao Zheng said.

Shen Yuexi picked up an excerpt casually, unfolded it, it was the household department's excerpt on increasing taxes, glanced at it, Shen Yuexi closed the fold, and said to Zhao Zheng: "I have prepared some refreshments, Seventh Master, you can use some." ”

Zhicui put the dim sum box on the table, Shen Yuexi opened it and picked up an egg yolk crisp, "This egg yolk crisp is better than the side of it, you can taste it." ”

Zhao Zheng took it, took a bite, and nodded, "It tastes really good." ”

Shen Yuexi got up, asked Zhao Zheng to sit down, and helped Zhao Zheng knead his shoulders, "It's really tiring to review and review the folds every day." ”

Zhao Zheng didn't speak, but his heart was warm, Shen Yuexi understood his hard work, and knew that it was enough to feel sorry for him.

After staying in the Qinzheng Hall for a while, Shen Yuexi left, Zhao was going to do business, she couldn't stay too long and disturb government affairs.

Back at Yuxiu Palace, the crown prince Zhao Yincheng was waiting there.

Shen Yuexi had seen the crown prince, but it was still a little surprising to see him appear here.

"Cheng'er has seen Aunt Qiwang." When the prince saw Shen Yuexi, he greeted him first.

Shen Yuexi walked up to the prince, "The prince is polite." ”

After saying this, the two had nothing to say, the prince looked at Shen Yuexi quietly, he didn't have any good feelings for Shen Yuexi, but the imperial grandmother and the nurse asked him to come to greet the seventh princess, and he came.

After being silent for a while, the prince's nurse said on the side: "If the seventh princess has no orders, the slave will take the prince back." ”

"Go, take care of the prince." Shen Yuexi said.

The nurse took the prince and left.

Shen Yuexi kept watching the prince's back until he was gone, and sighed, a child of this age was originally a bouncing and carefree age, but the prince was old like an autumn tree, without vitality, which was really embarrassing.

When it was almost dinner, Ru Cairen suddenly came, saying that he had prepared some snacks in his small dining room and sent them for Shen Yuexi to taste.

Shen Yuexi let Zhicui accept it, and said with a smile to Ru Cairen: "I don't want to eat at this time, just put it first, and eat it when I want to eat." ”

Ru Cairen nodded, and then looked at the courtyard of Yuxiu Palace, "Can this courtyard meet the wishes of the Seventh Princess?" ”

On the same day, everyone asked her if she was agreeable, and Shen Yuexi was annoyed, so she didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.

"Seventh Princess, how many months have you been?" Ru Cairen looked at Shen Yuexi's stomach again.

"It's been more than seven months." Shen Yuexi said, stroking her stomach with her hand, for some reason, the two words that appeared in her mind at that moment were clumsy.

Ru Cairen stared at Shen Yuexi's stomach for a while, and said softly: "The Seventh Princess is really a blessing, how can it be like me, I have just entered the palace for more than a year and become a surviving person, I don't even have a child, and the long road is full of loneliness and loneliness, and I feel desolate when I think about it." ”

Shen Yuexi wanted to comfort, but felt that all the comforting words were just empty, so she said: "Fortunately, there are still many concubines in the palace, and they have nothing to do to walk around and chat, and the days are easy to pass." ”

"From then on, I often come to Yuxiu Palace to sit, hoping that the Seventh Princess will not be annoyed by me." Ru Cairen hurriedly said.

The concubines that Shen Yuexi said were those concubines of the former emperor, but she didn't expect Ru Cairen to come to her to move around more, and she didn't want to have much contact with these concubines of the previous dynasty, so she didn't say a good word, just smiled faintly, and lowered her head to fiddle with the silk handkerchief in her hand.

At this time, Zhao Zheng, who came back from the Qinzheng Palace, entered Yuxiu Palace, and when he saw Ru Cairen, Zhao Zheng was stunned, but Ru Cairen was alert, and hurriedly got up, "Seventh Prince, you are back." ”
