Now although Concubine Liu Shu does not have the title of concubine, she seems to have become the first person in the harem of Emperor Changsheng, and she wants to share the worries of her master, so she let all the women in the harem who are slightly better look pull out, but the emperor is still not satisfied.
Emperor Changsheng was not satisfied with the result, so he quietly told Concubine Shu, "Concubine Ai has to manage a harem by herself, and she has to Zhang Luo Zhongyuan Festival, it's too hard, let Zhou Zhaoyi help you." ”
Concubine Liu Shu naturally didn't want Zhou Zhaoyi to share the power in her hands, so she could only say with a stiff smile: "Zhou Zhaoyi's position is too low, and the concubine is worried that she will be difficult to convince the public and delay His Majesty's affairs." ”
Emperor Changsheng nodded, "Concubine Ai has thought about it too thoroughly, so let's mention her position, Concubine Fengde." ”
Concubine Liu can't wait to bite off her tongue!
But at this time, how can she object?
The emperor said that he was discussing with her, just to give her face, but if she didn't know how to lift, who knew what would be the next step waiting for her?
On the contrary, the newly appointed Concubine De is much more capable than Concubine Shu.
"Since there is no suitable candidate in the palace, it is better to choose from the nobles and princesses of the family. The concubine and the concubine sister choose it first, and then let His Majesty look at it. ”
But none of these nobles and princesses can dance, because at this time in the Great Zhou, only the servants and singers who serve people are proficient in singing and dancing, and the nobles of the family don't bother to learn these at all.
However, Concubine Shu's attention was not on this, but frowned and said to Cheng Jingshu: "I heard that you are sick, but now you are so good?" ”
Cheng Jingshu's face stiffened, and she immediately returned to normal, "Thank you Niangniang for your concern, the concubine is not sick, the sick is Sister Liu, the concubine in our house, and I am the county lord of Anya." ”
Concubine Liu Shu had already heard that the Liu family had been lying in bed for a while, and now everything in the Seven Princes' Mansion was handled by the people in front of her, and she was giving advice to the Seven Princes, so the Seven Princes, who had been unknown, could show their faces in front of the emperor.
Of course, she also knew that the person in front of her was Cheng Jingshu, and she pretended not to know and deliberately embarrassed her.
Although Cheng Jingshu understood what Concubine Liu meant, she had no choice but to pretend to be stupid.
"You have married Lao Qi as a side concubine, you have to keep to yourself, listen to Concubine Liu's words, and don't think about using your county lord's name to suppress the main room." Although Concubine De was not even a side concubine before, she was the most disciplined, and she didn't like Cheng Jingshu even more, so she thought about joining forces with Concubine Shu to suppress Cheng Jingshu's arrogance.
But Concubine Shu felt that her biggest enemy now was Concubine De, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "There are so many people, the county lord of Anya has the best dance dance, what does Concubine De think?" ”
Concubine De looked down on Cheng Jingshu a little, and was about to speak, but she heard Concubine Shu say: "It is said that when Concubine Hui was still alive before, the emperor still played chess with you in Qingsi Palace, but I didn't expect you to not only play chess well, but also dance so well." ”
This is threatening Concubine De, Cheng Jingshu is the number one person in front of Emperor Changsheng, even if she opposes it, Cheng Jingshu can still get the emperor's other eyes.
Concubine De has just been canonized, and it is inevitable that she is a little lacking in confidence, and Cheng Jingshu is indeed dancing well, so she can only smile and say: "The county lord dances really well." ”
Sure enough, as Concubine Shu expected, after Emperor Changsheng came to see it again, he really chose Cheng Jingshu as the lead dancer.
Suddenly, Cheng Jingshu was out of the limelight.
After returning home, he suggested to the Seventh Prince: "Your Majesty values Your Highness so much, Your Highness might as well give up the Jin Land and go to Shudi, which is not very peaceful now, and needs someone like Your Highness to boost morale." ”
When the Seventh Prince heard Cheng Jingshu's suggestion, he said with some hesitation: "This king has never led troops or fought in battle, in case ......"
If you lose, you will lose not only your own face, but also your own father's face.
The crowd is leisurely, and when the time comes, the saliva alone can drown him.
Cheng Jingshu covered her mouth and laughed, "Your Highness must not be arrogant, who is born to lead troops?" But Emperor Taizu won the world from horseback, and even His Majesty is now the Empress Wei, who is also subdued by force, and has preserved the hard-earned foundation of our Zhao ancestors. When you arrived in Shu, you didn't need to go out to fight at all, it directly boosted morale, the other party was just a rabble, and in front of my Great Zhou elite, I only had to tie my hands and capture ......"
As soon as she said this, the Seventh Prince's blood immediately boiled, as if as soon as he stood there, the enemies all bowed down.
The Seventh Prince didn't say a word, raised his feet and walked outside, "This king is going to find his father." ”
Emperor Changsheng was very relieved to learn that the Seven Princes were willing to give up the Jin Land to choose the uneven Shu Land, and he didn't wait for a minister to praise him, he praised him first, and rewarded him with a lot of things.
"The poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, but to deal with them, how can I need the prince of the Great Zhou to come out, you just have this heart, and I have my own arrangements for the affairs of Shudi."
The Seven Princes have always been the most filial, so they will not say more.
Since then, the Seventh Prince has become the most favored son of Emperor Changsheng, not only was he kept a meal by Emperor Changsheng, but also rewarded him with a pot of wine, which is a rare honor, even the prince has not had this kind of preferential treatment.

It was getting colder.
Soon it was the harsh winter again, and the capital became a world of silver makeup.
Wang Linzhi stood in front of the ninety-nine cold picture very seriously, drew a plum blossom, and counted the days when Princess Qingyang returned to Beijing with her fingers.
Yingluo walked over lightly, took the paintbrush and handed it to the people below to wash it, and served Wang Linzhi to wash her hands, and said: "Wang Thirteen came over, saying that he had something to tell the county lord." ”
Wang Linzhi nodded, "Bring him in." ”
Wang 13 quickly came in with Yingluo, saluted Wang Linzhi first, and said, "The little one has something to tell you." ”
Wang Linzhi let the people around her retreat, leaving only amber.
"The chief guard over there is very tight-mouthed, the younger one has been calling him a brother for a few months, and he has nothing else to do except tell Princess Fengxiang about the looting of Lord Lu's property. Yesterday, he told me that the bones found in our house before were thrown by Princess Fengxiang's nursing mother. But when I asked him where the skeleton came from, he wouldn't say anything more. In the past few days, I have stopped drinking with me, and I have pretended to be sick directly. ”
When it came to Princess Fengxiang's nursing mother, Wang Linzhi's mind suddenly flashed back to the past.
At that time, she went to see the scene of the murder, which was also a nurse pretending to pick osmanthus flowers and standing on the ladder shelf to find out the news!
Wang Linzhi is almost certain that those murders must have something to do with Princess Fengxiang!
"Don't worry, he shouldn't be bad, naturally there are others on errands, just ask slowly."
In fact, Wang Linzhi has no hope, after all, the longer things pass, the greater the possibility of being forgotten, and the less likely it is that the horse's feet will be exposed.
She still refuses to give up, but it's just because of her personality.
