Concubine Shen stood in front of the door, kneeling firmly on the gray-blue stone brick floor. Bayi ★ ★ Chinese Network .

The emperor walked past her and entered the palace gate, and did not stop for a moment, as if he did not see such a living person kneeling beside the door.

Concubine Shen watched the emperor walk over, the corners of the robe embroidered with gold thread flashed by, and the bottom was not wearing court boots, but a pair of straight-soled soft-soled cloth shoes.

There is no court meeting today, but the emperor will not dress so casually in Changning Palace, it seems that most of them came directly from Yong'an Palace.

The concubine has added three new princes, and Concubine Shen can feel the festive atmosphere across the wall.

Missed again and again, Concubine Shen almost thought that there was such a thing as fate in this world. Some people are destined to be rich, while others are destined to be cheap.

No, she never believed in fate.

Or maybe she didn't feel like she deserved to be the way she was.

Concubine Shen slowly got up from the ground, stroked the hem of her skirt, and turned around and entered the palace gate.

From the first day she moved into Yanfu Palace, she thought about what kind of clothes she would wear, how she would drive, what kind of tea she would serve, and what incense she would smoke if the emperor came......

She suddenly remembered that this was the first time the emperor had set foot in Yanfu Palace since she moved in.

Except for the deliberate arrangements made when the queen was still there, the emperor never summoned her. Every time before going to bed, the queen ordered someone to recuperate her body, and every time she was summoned, she asked the imperial doctor to come over every day to ask for a pulse.

The queen herself is not easy to conceive, so she wants to borrow her belly.

Why use her instead of others? Isn't it because she comes from a humble background and is easy to manipulate? Concubine Shen had no doubt that if she really had a child, the time when the child was born would probably be the moment when she died.

So at that time, she looked at the emperor not to spoil her, and every time she went to bed, she begged God to worship Buddha and begged herself not to conceive a child.

When the queen died, she was never called again. Even because she has always behaved cowardly and reticent, she doesn't even have a word to talk to the emperor, and there is almost no chance to see the emperor.

She comforted herself that she didn't need to be anxious, the Queen Mother was not favored back then, and she didn't give birth to a son, but so what? She still became the emperor's mother, and she was buried next to the emperor in a beautiful manner. Even if the emperor didn't want to see her in his heart, and even hated and hated her, he had to bow to her spiritual position.

But no number of plans have failed, she is actually the only one left in Yanfu Palace, and it turns out that there are no eunuchs and palace people left in this palace.

She once thought that she was close to her goal, and it seemed that as long as she reached out, she could grasp everything she dreamed of. After Princess Mingshou failed in her rebellion, she thought that she only needed to take one more step to reach the position she had been looking forward to for a long time.

But that infinitely close step was missed.

How many times did she plan, but the one that was closest to success was mistakenly hit by Chen Jieyu. And this time Qingfengtai's palace banquet, although she had arranged it for a long time in advance, and all aspects had been carefully considered, but deep down, she had an ominous premonition early on.

It seems that she had foreseen in advance that this design would be as useless as the previous ones. No, it could be worse than before. The previous emperors must have already realized it, and they must have been vigilant. If you strike again this time, you may be caught and cut off by the outstretched hand.

But she couldn't stop.

The emperor looked at the side hall of Yanfu Palace.

Since Concubine Shen moved in, the emperor has never been to Yanfu Palace. Before Concubine Shen was promoted to concubine, she was still Shunyi, and she had been living in the side hall, and the furnishings here have not changed for many years.

It is said that the emperor has never been here, so he should not feel familiar with this place.

But the emperor did feel that the furnishings here were a little familiar, the screens, calligraphy and paintings, and the furnishings on the Bogu shelf all gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Concubine Shen stood next to the screen and whispered, "Is the emperor familiar with looking here?" Most of these things were rewarded by the first queen, and the concubines were also arranged here according to the preferences of the original queen. ”

The emperor turned around.

Concubine Shen's face was clean and clean, and she didn't use fat powder. The head is also coiled into the simplest style, and the body is wearing a duck egg cyanine silk palace dress.

As for her countenance......

When the emperor saw her, he remembered that he didn't seem to have an impression of Concubine Shen's appearance.

Her head has been hanging low for many years, and she has never raised her head to look directly at the emperor. And the emperor's impression of her has always been vague and weak, and it was not until this moment that the emperor could see Concubine Shen's appearance clearly.

Concubine Shen was not beautiful, and it can even be said that she is very ordinary, and many palace maids are afraid that they are better than her.

This is not surprising.

Because the aunts and nephews of the queen mother and the queen are mediocre in appearance, even Princess Mingshou is also unattractive. Since Concubine Shen has been singled out to serve the first queen since she was a child, it is impossible to be picky, otherwise the master and the slave will appear together, and the young lady will be completely suppressed by the maid, which master can feel comfortable?

Not only that, but also because as long as the emperor can see the harem concubines, there are few saints without face, and they are always carefully dressed.

It turns out that Concubine Shen looks like this.

and the queen mother, the queen, and even Princess Mingshou, all have a bit of similarity.

Concubine Shen always used style and makeup to cover up this appearance, but now it is useless to cover it up.

Concubine Shen raised her hand and touched her face: "The concubine is born five or six points like the queen mother, right?" After all, if you talk about it, the concubine should also call the queen mother an aunt. ”

"When did you find out about your origins?"

"I've known it for as long as I can remember." Concubine Shen said softly: "The concubine's biological mother is a girl from the Cheng'en Mansion, and she was beaten to death by the Duchess of Cheng'en. Although she did not intend to seduce Chengen Gong to seek wealth, but Chengen Duchess could not tolerate her, regarded our mother and daughter as a thorn in the side, the concubine was just able to remember at that time, I remember that day several five big and three thick women rushed in, rummaged through the house and found a few things, saying that she stole it, so she pulled people out and beat a board at the base of the wall, and did not give Lang Zhong medicine, she was too seriously injured, ** wailed for a few days before dying. ”

But those so-called thieves were actually rewarded privately by Cheng'en Gong, and everyone knows about this, as long as Duchess Cheng'en wants to make an excuse, are you afraid that she won't be able to find it?

After she was scolded with a cane, she was seriously injured and died, and Cheng Engong also knew about it.

But he didn't care about the life or death of this mother and daughter, he probably couldn't remember what the maid he forced looked like, and he never cared if the child she gave birth to was his own species.

As long as he says a word, or even a word, as long as he hints at it, then naturally many people will take care of their mother and daughter openly and secretly, and Concubine Shen's biological mother will probably be able to save her life.
