Concubine Xu Xian smiled beautifully and asked, "Why didn't my sister go in, didn't she do something wrong and kneel down to ask Your Majesty for forgiveness?"

The queen gritted her teeth and said, "No need. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The battles of the previous dynasty often implicate the women of the harem. The battle between the King of Zhou's faction and the prince's faction represents not only a dragon chair, but also the people who follow behind them. If the crown prince falls, how long can the queen sit in this position? There will always be a day when Emperor Wen Hui will grow old, if the king of Zhou sits on the dragon chair, what kind of ending will the queen have?

There are countless pickled methods in the courtyard of ordinary official houses, and even more so in the harem, if you are not careful, you will lose your life and implicate your family. It's not a matter of being cautious in life.

Concubine Xu Xian smiled: "If my sister is unwilling, my sister will not be reluctant." However, my sister still has something to say to His Majesty at this time, so I won't disturb my sister's interest. She covered her mouth and smiled, and was about to send someone in to inform Emperor Wen Hui.

The queen only wanted to scratch Concubine Xu Xian's face, Concubine Xu Xian went in at this time, and the queen almost guessed what she could say. is nothing more than fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire, and Emperor Wen Hui has always listened to Concubine Xu Xian's words, but he is afraid that his anger towards the prince will be even better.

But she couldn't stop Concubine Xu Xian.

Concubine Xu Xian was about to go in, but she saw someone hurrying outside, saw Concubine Xu Xian, and said a little apologetically: "Concubine Xian, His Royal Highness King Rui is outside, and I am asking to see Your Majesty at this time." ”

Concubine Xu Xian and the queen were stunned at the same time. What is King Rui doing here?

Although Concubine Xu Xian is arrogant on weekdays, she is not incomprehensible, those arrogances are just playing some petty tricks on Emperor Wen Hui, and she doesn't dare to be vague on major matters, so she immediately said: "Then I'll come back later." ”

The queen is a few years older than Concubine Xu Xian, and she has seen more about the affairs of the court, and her heart is sinking, King Rui will not come sooner or later, but she only came when the prince had an accident and Emperor Wenhui issued a conviction letter, but she was afraid that she would not come well.

Emperor Wen Hui's attendants quickly came out and said a few words to the person who made the report, and when the person who reported went out, the queen and Concubine Xu Xian stood and knelt down, but they saw a young man in purple walking outside.

He wore half a silver mask, his expression was leisurely, and the queen was a little embarrassed for no reason, as the queen of a country, she was seen by outsiders as such an embarrassed appearance. Concubine Xu Xian was a little stunned when she looked at the other party's face, some people were born very strange, but they couldn't see what their appearance was, but the extravagance and elegance of their whole body were enough to make people feel broken, as if as long as he stood here, the eyes of others could not help but fall on him.

King Rui walked past the queen and only glanced at her, but there was not much meaning in his eyes, and his footsteps did not stop, as if he did not see the picture of the mother of a country kneeling in front of the palace. But this is by no means because of the understanding of the queen, although King Rui did not show any expression, the queen felt that the other party was just too lazy to look, and it was disdain and contempt from the bottom of her heart.

She was embarrassed.

In the study, Emperor Wen Hui sat at the table, he behaved lightly and steadily, as if the person who had just thundered in the study was not him.

It's just that my back is a little stiff.

The purple-robed young man walked in from outside, lazily called him His Majesty, even if he said hello, and then walked to Shi Shiran opposite him and sat down, he sat casually, as if Emperor Wen Hui was a guest, and there was no trace of respect or worship in his eyes.

In that way, it actually made Emperor Wen Hui feel as if he was nothing in front of the man in front of him.

This thought was only a short moment, and Emperor Wen Hui came back to his senses, looked at King Rui with a smile, and said, "I've been very busy these days, but I haven't asked King Rui if he is still used to living?"

There is some intimacy in these words. Now that the Qin State has a bad attitude towards Ming Qi, if Da Liang has other thoughts at this time, Ming Qi will really be in a dilemma. Therefore, Emperor Wen Hui didn't want to make too much of a mess with Da Liang, just give in softly, bow your head, as long as you pass the level in front of you first, and talk about it later.

That's why he rushed to curry favor with King Rui. If the people of Ming Qi saw Emperor Wen Hui like this, they were afraid that they would scoff at him.

King Rui smiled lazily and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty, this king is doing well, but I heard that Your Majesty has not been doing well these days." ”

Emperor Wen Hui's heart jumped, but his face was not obvious at all, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is no way to teach the son, so King Rui laughs." ”

"I can't complain about Your Majesty," King Rui said, "After all, Your Majesty has nine sons." His tone couldn't hear joy and anger: "But Emperor Qin is pitiful, he came to pay tribute to Ming Qi, and the prince and princess are all folded here, which is really a disaster." ”

Emperor Wen Hui's smile became a little embarrassed.

King Rui is right, the emperor of Qin has been asking the crown prince to pay for his life, although it is because he wants to pursue balance, but there is another reason. The two countries came to pay tribute, and the Rui King of Daliang was not damaged at all, but the prince and princess of Qin were dead. What is going on? Is Ming Qi deliberately targeting them Qin State? Or is it showing that Qin State's national strength is low, and even a prince and princess can't be saved?

In any case, this is something that makes Qin Guo very embarrassed, and Emperor Qin is also the most annoyed by this. Therefore, even if the crown prince paid for his life because of this, the vanity of the superior would make Emperor Qin disgusted with Ming Qi for a period of time.

He said, "I am also dealing with this matter as soon as possible. ”

King Rui smiled: "Emperor Qin shouldn't give up easily. ”

Emperor Wen Hui held his breath in his chest, he spoke tactfully, and he tried his best not to delve into this conversation with the other party, but he didn't know if this Rui Wang didn't understand or what, so he used this matter to block his heart, and said it mercilessly. Of course, Emperor Wen Hui would not think that King Rui was too stupid to understand his eyes, so King Rui did it on purpose, deliberately to disgust him.

Emperor Wen Hui wanted to brush his sleeves away like he treated his disobedient courtiers, or be furious, but unfortunately King Rui was not his courtier, although he was a prince, but in some ways, he was more fierce than him as an emperor.

Emperor Wen Hui could only stiffly divert the conversation and asked, "But I don't know why King Rui came to me today?"

King Rui didn't speak, just bent a finger on the table and knocked on it, in silence, Emperor Wen Hui's heart was also pinched by the finger that knocked on the table, he suddenly thought that King Rui came at this time today, didn't he want to say something very important to him.

If King Rui mentioned the city at the junction of Daliang and Mingqi at this time....... How should Emperor Wen Hui refuse?

His back changed from the initial stiffness to cold sweat, and the other party was so silent, but it invisibly made him feel a great heaviness.

After a while, King Rui tapped his fingers on the table, and he said nonchalantly: "It's for the king's life's work." ”

"What?" As soon as he heard this, Emperor Wen Hui was instinctively stunned, and before he could figure it out, he heard King Rui's flat voice.

"The royal brother has always hoped that this king will get married as soon as possible, and this time he came to Mingqi and told this king to bring the princess back. That's what this king wants. ”

This time, Emperor Wen Hui understood, King Rui wanted to find a woman in Mingqi? But why? Emperor Wen Hui instinctively felt a little strange in his heart, guessing that there was a conspiracy, but he couldn't show it. Immediately showed a generous smile and said: "I see, it's okay, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and the young talent of King Rui naturally deserves to be like a beautiful couple." I just don't know which girl King Rui has a crush on?"

King Rui stared at him, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly bloomed a little smile, Emperor Wen Hui was stunned, and then heard the young man speak lightly.

"Shen family, Shen Miao. ”

Emperor Wen Hui couldn't laugh.

His heart trembled with anger, and he wanted to have someone drag King Rui down and behead him, but he couldn't. But he finally couldn't maintain the friendly smile on his face anymore, and his expression was very stiff.

He asked in a dry voice, "You say...... Who?"

"The daughter of a mighty general. King Rui said: "Your Majesty doesn't remember? A few days ago, didn't the prince still want to marry her as a side concubine?"

It's so coercive!

Many thoughts popped up in Emperor Wen Hui's mind in an instant, but in the end, he couldn't help but want to sneer.

This Rui King, looking lazy and lazy, doesn't care about anything, and doesn't pay attention to the alliance between Ming Qi and Qin, and does his own thing every day, but it turns out that he is a pig and eats a tiger, and there is a trick here!

If you want to marry the daughter of a mighty general, will he marry Shen Miao, or the military power of the Shen family?

Emperor Wen Hui knew that for Da Liang, the Shen family's military power might not be nothing, and Da Liang already had many outstanding soldiers. But for Ming Qi, most of the original excellent generals were dismissed by him in the early years, and now the Xie family is also in decline, and there is only one Shen family that can support Ming Qi's prestige. Ming Qi has no Shen family, just like a tiger without claws, and if he deals with Da Liang, he is afraid that he will not even struggle for a few points, and he will be eaten and wiped clean!

What a wise king, what a big cool!

Emperor Wen Hui reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "King Rui has a good eye, but General Shen loves his daughter, everyone knows that if King Rui insists on marrying Shen Miao, General Shen is only afraid that he will feel sorry for his young daughter and does not want her to marry Da Liang far away." ”

"What's so difficult about this?" King Rui played with the wrench in his hand and said casually: "General Shen is unwilling, why not Your Majesty's next holy decree?"

Emperor Wen Hui was stunned.

King Rui's words continued to reach his ears: "Da Liang and Ming Qi are quite friendly now, Your Majesty won't even give this favor to this king, right?" he stretched his waist and said lightly: "In this way, this king should also report the matter of the city to the imperial brother." ”

Emperor Wen Hui has lived all his life, and he finally knows what it feels like to be "trembling with anger".

The Shen family is a piece of fat, and King Rui not only wants to grab this piece of fat, but also wants the master's family to serve the fat with both hands!

If he really made a holy decree, I am afraid that even if Shen Xin stays in Mingqi in the future because of his loyalty, he will have a grudge against him, and it is he who made the holy decree to let Shen Miaoyuan marry!

If he refuses to give a holy decree...... Emperor Wen Hui glanced at the man opposite, he couldn't see what the expression was clearly with a mask, but he always felt that under this person's lazy and contemptuous appearance, it was an extremely powerful means. With the alliance between Ming Qi and Qin in jeopardy, it would not be wise to rashly confront Da Liang.

King Rui gave him a difficult problem, but this problem was not answered, because everything he answered was wrong!

The man's eyes fell on Emperor Wen Hui, like a cat playing with a mouse in his paws, lazily and slowly, "Your Majesty has you thought about it?"

Emperor Wen Hui held his breath, since he ascended the throne, he has dealt with countless tricky things, and none of them have been so embarrassing as in front of him. Has anyone dared to be so rude and presumptuous to him!

For the first time in his life, Emperor Wen Hui began to regret that he should not have dealt with the family in order to concentrate military power, if Ming Qi had a few more fierce generals like Shen Xin, wouldn't he have to bow down in front of Da Liang like this?

But how can there be regret medicine in the world?

Seeing that he didn't answer, King Rui smiled, stood up, and said, "This king understands." "Gesture to go.

"Wait!" Emperor Wen Hui called out to him.

King Rui stood still and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has thought about it, the king of a country, and he has a word." ”

"Ming Qi and Da Liang are good friends, and I naturally have the beauty of an adult. Emperor Wen Hui's smile was more ugly than crying, and he said: "If Miss Shen marries King Rui, it will also be a blessing for Miss Shen Family, and I am happy to see it." Rest assured, I will draft an edict today, and I will issue an edict in a few days. After squatting for a while, it was extremely difficult, and a few words came out of his mouth: "The city is ......."

"It should be a gift to His Majesty. King Rui smiled and left in a good mood.

After King Rui left, Emperor Wen Hui suddenly collapsed on the chair, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but his face was extremely red.

Anger, shame, humiliation, and resentment mingled across his face. But he was powerless to change it.

This may be the most embarrassing thing in the world, obviously the king of a country, obviously the true son of heaven, but he has to admit his incompetence and helplessness.

The high father-in-law on the side didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, seeing the emperor being forced into such a situation, he was naturally frightened.

"Bring me pen and paper. Emperor Wen Hui paused for a moment and said suddenly.

Gao Gonggong was busy.

Emperor Wen Hui's eyes were heavy, although King Rui was talking about the city for the time being, it was also a temporary stability in exchange for the Shen family's family business, and no one knew how long it would be stable. The most important thing is that after Shen Miao married King Rui, although Shen Xin was still from Mingqi, Emperor Wen Hui no longer dared to trust Shen Xin.

Although Shen Xin was suppressed before, he was also afraid that Shen Xin's merits would be high, but the mighty general had been loyal for generations, and he still believed in Shen Xin's loyalty to Emperor Wenhui. But her daughter is in Da Liang, if Da Liang uses Shen Miao as a handle to threaten Shen Xin, who knows what Shen Xin will do.

Shen Xin's chess piece is useless, and the situation in Ming Qi will be even more difficult. In order to guard against the Great Liang, Ming Qi must quickly restore the alliance with the Qin State, and the two countries can work together to compete with one or two.

The Qin State is still annoyed by the affairs of Huangfu Hao and Princess Ming'an, and Ming Qi must show sincerity.

The crown prince must die.

Emperor Wen Hui closed his eyes.

......

To everyone's surprise, Emperor Wen Hui's conviction to the crown prince came quickly and urgently, hardly giving people time to think clearly. The prince committed suicide in prison.

Whether it is suicide or not, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but in order to complete the reputation of the prince, he can't be beheaded in front of everyone like a prisoner in the market, or because of the crime of assassinating the prince of another country, I am afraid that in this way, the majesty of the Ming Qi royal family will not be needed on the second day.

The common people are always fooled, but the officials know this very well, and who knows whether the prince committed suicide or not? The royal family always likes to find a reason for himself to look good, even if it is dirty.

When the news of the prince's suicide came, the queen seemed to have made a fuss, and then became seriously ill, and stayed at home in Kunning Palace.

The concubines in the harem are all in danger, how could the queen be seriously ill? It is nothing more than because the prince has fallen, the prince has fallen, and the queen has no support for the rest of her life, and it is difficult to say whether she can sit firmly in this position. The queen lost her beloved son, but she was afraid that she would hold a grudge against Emperor Wen Hui, and Emperor Wen Hui naturally had to be on guard, whether she stayed at home due to illness or was placed under house arrest, only they knew.

If the queen also falls, who will be the master of the next six palaces? It seems that Concubine Xu Xian has the greatest chance of winning, Emperor Wenhui favors Concubine Xu Xian, Concubine Xu Xian also has two princes' sons, and the brothers of King Jing of Zhou and the faction of King Liwang fight to the death, but after all, King Liwang does not have a favored concubine.

King Jing of Zhou can be regarded as the right time and place.

Therefore, the concubines are all cautious about being people, at this juncture, they can't be caught, and if they are accidentally used as guns, it will be a big deal.

In the case of Huangfu Hao, in addition to the crown prince and the queen were affected, other people involved were also affected. The worst thing is the Wailang Palace.

On that day, it was the young master Wang of the Yuanwailang Mansion who proposed to go to taste incense, and he also brought his wife. Who knew that Huangfu Hao would splash Yi Fengge's blood, Wang Bi and Shen Dongling would definitely not be able to escape.

But it was not this one who condemned them.

Outsider Lang was secretly engaged in the business of buying and selling illicit salt, and buying and selling illicit salt was a big crime, and the entire palace would be implicated. Wang Bi and Shen Dongling were sentenced to beheading, the rest of the Wang family men were exiled, and the women were sent to the border as military prostitutes.

Emperor Wen Hui's move, people with a discerning eye can see that this time he is quite angry, as if he was stimulated by something, and he was deliberately making fun of people. However, the emperor's mind has always been incomprehensible, and although the courtiers were puzzled, they were only ordered to do things.

Shen Miao drank tea while listening to the stunned sting talk about what had happened in the past few days. Luo Tan, who was beside him, couldn't stop stuffing snowflake candy into his mouth to eat.

Snowflake candy was brought in from Yang, and it was said that it was made by a famous pastry chef in Da Liang, and only the Da Liang royal family could eat it in the whole world. Shen Miao didn't pay attention, but was discovered by Luo Tan, Luo Tan was very surprised after eating it, and asked Shen Miao where he bought it, Shen Miao had to deal with it casually.

"Prince Qin's matter is really a big trouble. Luo Tan said while eating: "After getting so many people to bury him, it's not enough to exchange a prince for him." At last, the voice was quieter, as if he was afraid that the wall had ears.

Shen Miao smiled slightly, noncommittal, but in her heart, she was also shocked by Emperor Wen Hui's ruthlessness.

Sure enough, if there is a father, there must be a son, Fu Xiuyi wanted to eradicate the Shen family back then, leaving no trouble, and did not care about the life and death of Fu Ming and Wanyu, she thought at the time, how could there be such a ruthless person in the world. Now it seems that Fu Xiuyi's actions are the same as those of Emperor Wen Hui.

In the eyes of their Fu family, family affection, love or friendship are not reliable, only the power of the country is what is pursued all their lives, in order to sit firmly in this position, sacrificing a son is nothing, anyway, there will be other women to give birth to children for them.

This is about the unrighteousness in the bones of the Fu family.

Luo Tan looked at the few snowflake candies on the plate, and counted with his fingers: "My aunt and uncle have eaten it, and Cousin Qiu has also eaten it, but Brother Ling has not eaten it, so I will give this little to Brother Ling, right?" She looked at Shen Miao.

Shen Miao naturally didn't nod because of the amount of food she ate.

"If only you could remember where you bought this snowflake candy. Luo Tan sighed and felt sorry: "I have eaten all the pastries in Xiaochun City, and I have eaten the pastries in Dingjing almost the same, and it is the first time I have eaten such delicious snowflake candy." Although you can't remember exactly, I'm going to ask someone to find it in person tomorrow, and I must find this store!"

Shen Miao was silent, this was made by Da Liang's imperial chef, Luo Tan just turned the entire Dingjing over, I am afraid that I will not be able to find this "shop". Shen Miaodu regretted it a little, at that time, he shouldn't have said "shop", just say that it was a random stall.

Luo Tan said again: "Brother Ling also likes to eat pastries, he will definitely like this." After that, he remembered something again, and said, "But Brother Ling has been a little weird these days." ”

Shen Miao asked, "What?" The things she pays attention to every day are not here, because she really doesn't know what changes Luo Ling has.

"Except for the military department, I don't come out much after returning home, so I practice martial arts in the courtyard. Luo Tan propped his chin and said, "Brother Ling wasn't such a hard person for himself before. And when I talk to him these days, he is not very interested, as if he has been hit by something. Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao: "Little cousin, you are smart, do you know what's wrong with him?"

Shen Miao said: "I don't follow him all the time, how can I know what he is thinking." Seeing Luo Tan's worried look, he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, it's about the end of the year, and the affairs of the military department are busy, so it's good to wait for this time." ”

Luo Tan nodded, and as he was talking, he saw Shen Qiu and Luo Tan outside walking in one after another, and seeing that they were both in the main hall, Luo Tan beckoned: "Cousin Qiu, Brother Ling, come and eat snowflake candy!"

Luo Ling entered the house, first glanced at Shen Miao, Shen Miao was looking at Shen Qiu with a smile, couldn't help but look dark, and walked to the side and sat down.

Shen Qiu unceremoniously grabbed a piece of snowflake candy and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "Why are you idle today?"

Luo Tan joked with Shen Qiu, and then heard the report from the little guy outside that Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were back.

Shen Qiu said: "It's just right, my father and mother are back, and we should also eat." ”

Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan walked in from outside, but this time, even Luo Tan, who was the most arrogant, sensed that something was wrong.

Shen Xin's face was pale, his expression was very ugly, and Luo Xueyan was also very angry. On weekdays, even if something unpleasant goes outside, Shen Xin and his wife will never show it in front of their children, and both of them are open-minded by nature, and there are few things that can anger them.

But looking at it today, it is clear that he is angry.

The little guy who followed Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan didn't dare to come out, and lowered his head and retreated.

Luo Tan and Luo Ling are cousins after all, and they are puzzled in their hearts, but they are not easy to ask. Shen Qiu wanted to ask, but when he saw his father's expression on his face who asked who to kill, he hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to speak.

In the end, it was Shen Miao who took the initiative to speak, she looked at Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan, and said with a smile: "Why does Daddy and Mother look unhappy, is there something unpleasant outside?"

As soon as Shen Miao spoke, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan looked at Shen Miao at the same time, Shen Xin's eyes were mixed with remorse, anger and grievance, but Luo Xueyan's eyes were deeply guilty and helpless.

Shen Miao "chuckled" in her heart, but she quickly understood, making Shen Xin and his wife show such a look, but they were afraid that this matter had something to do with her.

Luo Xueyan took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's something in the court, Jiaojiao is hungry, let's eat first." ”

It's just that the smile is reluctant, and even Luo Tan has a solemn gaze.

What is there that has been so serious that Shen Xin and his wife, who have never been hearty and generous, and are not afraid of heaven and earth, have to hide it? This matter has become so tricky?

Shen Miao didn't speak, didn't answer well, didn't answer badly, just looked at Shen Xin and his wife, her posture like this made it clear that she wanted an explanation, Luo Xueyan's explanation, she didn't believe it at all.

Shen Qiu was in a trance for a while, and seemed to see Shen Miao a few years ago. At that time, Shen Miao was still arrogant, and she was not as close to them as she is now, and she was very close to the second and third rooms. Whenever he asked Shen Xin for something, he stood in front of them without saying a word, and he was very stubborn.

In fact, from the past to the present, Shen Miao seems to have changed a lot, but some habits in her bones have not changed.

Shen Xin said: "Jiaojiao, obedient." "He rarely treats Shen Miao harshly, so strict, if it was before, Shen Miao would have cried.

Luo Ling looked at her with some concern.

Shen Miao's expression was unmoved, still with a faint look, she said: "Why doesn't my father and mother tell me the truth? If I can't solve it, I can at least share some of it together, and if I can solve it, wouldn't it be better." Hiding things alone seems to be a raw matter. I'm not a child, I'm the same as my eldest brother, I'm also a member of the Shen family. ”

Shen Xin's lips moved, but he still didn't speak.

Shen Miao looked at her, her eyes were as clear as a stream, and under such a gaze, it was impossible not to tell her the truth. She said, "Besides, this matter has something to do with me, doesn't it?"

Luo Xueyan was startled, Luo Tan and Luo Ling looked at Shen Miao in surprise, and Shen Qiu was also puzzled.

When Shen Xin heard this, he looked at Shen Miao fixedly for a while, and finally sighed deeply and said with a wry smile: "Today, the emperor issued a holy decree. ”

"Marriage to you," he said with difficulty, "and King Rui." ”
