Shen pressed down on the feeling in his heart, and saluted back to Ling Zhao: "The lower officials dare not be." ”

"Lord Shen has acted bravely, and this king will report to his father in detail. At this moment, the father and the ladies are still waiting for the news of the county lord of Jiamu, and the king will take the county lord into the palace first. With that, Ling Zhao turned to Shu Mei and said gently, "Let's go, I'll send you to the palace." ”

Shu Mei bowed to Shen Zhao again, and then followed Ling Zhao towards Xihua Gate.

When he stepped into the palace gate, Ling Zhao stretched out his hand to support Shu Mei, and there was a smile in his eyebrows, "Miss Shu was frightened today. ”

Shu Mei avoided a step and said coldly: "I'm going to marry Bei Lone, and I won't be able to hinder the prince's major affairs in the future, why should the prince take the risk of doing it outside the palace?" ”

Ling Zhao's smile froze, he didn't expect this girl to say it so bluntly.

"What, the prince doesn't dare to admit it?"

Ling Zhao sneered, "Miss Shu is really a transparent and understanding person, no wonder Xu Zhiyi will regard you as a close friend and be willing to take risks for you." ”

"Sister Zhiyi, is she okay?" Hearing Ling Zhao mention Xu Zhiyi, Shu Mei stopped and asked. That day, Xu Zhiyi came forward to let herself go, and she was always worried about whether she would be hurt by Ling Zhao.

"It's good now. Whether you will be good or not in the future depends on your performance. Ling Zhao put away the smile on his face and said slowly, word by word.

Shu Mei heard this and said angrily: "Although the prince can rest assured, with my grandfather and grandmother in your hands, I won't say a word more, why should you embarrass Sister Zhiyi?" She is sincere to the prince, you don't want to let her down! ”

It turned out that she didn't know about Xu Zhiyi and him. Ling Zhao's heart calmed down for a while, and he asked again, "Have you told Ling Li about me?" ”

"Nope."

In Rouge Zhou, Shu Mei did tell Ling Li that it was Ling Zhao who wanted to kill him. Now, for the sake of Ling Li's brother's safety, she naturally can't admit it.

"Really?" Ling Zhao was skeptical.

"If he knows, as soon as they meet, he should seek revenge on the prince, where is the turn of the bitter plan planned by the prince?" Shu Mei looked at Ling Zhao and said coldly.

Shu Mei looked at his disdainful expression, which made Ling Zhao feel the urge to strangle her. The women he met all looked up to him and coveted him, but she looked at him with such disdain. This woman, sooner or later, he will get rid of it with his own hands!

"How did you escape that night in Xiangji Temple? How did your face recover? Holding back the anger in his heart, Ling Zhao asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"After falling off a cliff, I lost my memory. When I remembered all the things before, I was sent back to the Shu house. ”

"Who sent you back?"

"I don't know."

"You ......"

Shu Mei didn't have the slightest doubt that Ling Zhao would do anything to herself, but she also believed that he didn't have the guts to do it in the Yongnian Palace. As long as he is alive, Grandpa and Grandma will be fine, because he needs to threaten himself with them.

Ling Li's brother had not moved, and it seemed that he didn't believe what she had told him in Rouge Zhou. After all, he had always suspected that he was a spy of the Vultures.

*********

The old house of the Shen family was renovated, and after Shen moved in, he held a banquet and invited the officers and soldiers of the Zhenxi Army who remained as officials in Beijing.

During the banquet, a man in a green shirt with a clear face toasted Shen Zhu and congratulated him, which surprised him a little, he really couldn't remember where he met him and why he invited him.

"Lord Shen, don't you recognize it? It's me, Bai'an. ”

"You, you're ...... Dr. Bai? Shen Zhu was surprised, "Your face, healed?" ”

Ever since Shen met Bai An, his face was wounded and bandaged, and he had been wearing a mask in the army since then, and he had never seen his true face.

"No, just a disguised mask." Bai An explained briefly, and then asked: "Is this okay?" ”

Shen stared at it carefully, smiled and nodded, "Quite passable." If you don't take the initiative to tell it, I've been thinking about when I met such an elegant son? ”

"It's okay to get by, I plan to go to Shu Xiang's Mansion tomorrow to ask to see the county lord of Hejing, wearing a mask for fear of scaring the old man and the old lady." After receiving Shen Zhi's affirmation, Bai An was in a good mood.

Shen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid, you won't be able to see her......"

"Can't see me? Why is that? Bai An asked hurriedly.

Shen Zhu told him one by one about the situation he met Shu Mei in Yongan Lane yesterday. Bai An was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically as if he didn't believe it for a long time: "You said that she was given the title of the lord of Jiamu County, and she wants to go to Beilin and kiss?" ”

"Yes. She went to the palace for training yesterday. Later, I inquired with Honglu Temple, and the wedding was scheduled for mid-spring next year......"

"You say, she was chased and killed in the street by a few bandits dressed as Xili?"

He nodded solemnly.

"Now that the two countries are negotiating peace, how dare the Xili people assassinate the county lord near the palace?!" Bai An thought about it before and after, and suddenly felt bad in his heart, and immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, "I'll leave first, I have to go to the Qiu Di Pavilion to find His Royal Highness." ”

Shen hurriedly stopped, "Bai An, King Tongshu has ordered the whole city to hunt down the assassins, this matter involves the western realm, I am afraid it is not appropriate for His Highness to intervene......"

"I'm not asking His Highness to intervene in this matter, I'm asking His Highness to resign from his position in the army."

"Resign?" Shen Zhu was surprised, "You were finally promoted by two levels this time, why did you resign?" ”

"Now that the war in the west is over, there are many medical officers in the army, and I am idle in the army. It's better to resign from his position and go to Beishan with the lord of Jiamu. With that, Bai An turned and left.

Looking at Bai An's hurried back, there was a little envy in his heart inexplicably: If you want to go, you can go, how arbitrary is this?

Emperor Chengde asked the two governments to discuss the establishment of the prince, and after a period of deliberation, the two governments agreed that Ling Zhaori, the king of Tongshu, was the best candidate for the national prince. After it was submitted to the court, it received a response from many civil and military officials. The candidate was determined, and Emperor Chengde put his mind at ease and chose to hold the ceremony on the first day of the 39th year of Longhe.

After the major event of the establishment of the reserve is determined, the supervisor will begin to repair the palace room of the East Palace, the Taichang Temple prepares for the ceremony of the establishment of the reserve, the Guanglu Temple prepares the banquet of hundreds of officials, and the officials from all walks of life come and go to ask for instructions and report, and the Yongnian Palace is busy for a while.

During the year, the western realm was victorious, and the prince Jiali was finalized, and Emperor Chengde was in a good mood, so he ordered to prepare a family banquet for Chinese New Year's Eve. The family banquet is divided into two, respectively to invite the royal family and the concubines and concubines, in order to facilitate the care of both sides, the royal family banquet is set up in the Jiying Palace, and the concubines and concubines are located in the West Garden Warm Pavilion next to the Jiying Palace.

Now that the middle palace is empty, the complicated affairs of the harem are all handled by Xu Guifei. Since Shu Mei entered the palace, she was extremely happy. The affairs of the harem can be ordered to be done under the guise of letting her learn and experience, and there is no need to worry about the rights being transferred and not being able to get them back.

However, I was bitter and relieved, and I worried a lot about the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve. From seating arrangements, banquet preparations, reward items to the reception and care of the female dependents after entering the palace, they all have to be considered. Fortunately, when the former queen Zhao was deposed, Xu Guifei left two or three capable old ladies from Ciyuan Palace, so that when she encountered this kind of festival banquet, she would not be in a mess.

Shu Mei originally expected to see Xu Zhiyi at the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, but the chamberlain who delivered the letter replied that the princess was waiting to give birth and could not attend the palace banquet.

Ling Li was named Queen Jing'an, and Dong Yuejiao was promoted to Princess Jing'an. At the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, she was also the female guest. Shu Mei was reluctant to meet with Dong Yuejiao, so after arranging the affairs of the banquet, she excused herself to be a little tired, and invited herself to a flower hall behind the warm pavilion to rest and wait for the dispatch.
