Entering the palace, Shen Jingcheng fell to the last of the officials who went to Beijing to report on his work, looking at the slightly changed city wall with an expressionless face, without squinting,

Entering the main hall, he still found an inconspicuous corner as before, and stood there, quietly listening to the officials of the various provinces to explain the local situation, and listening to the imperial grandson's gentle and amiable inquiry, although his eyes were already full of impatience.

The imperial grandson sat high on the dragon chair, his eyes were gentle, and his voice was gentle, Like a humble gentleman, he has two completely different temperaments from the old emperor who killed decisively.

But Shen Jingcheng knew that this person was just gentle on the surface, but in fact, his heart was dark, otherwise he would not have killed his five imperial uncles without mercy as soon as the old emperor died.

You know, when the old emperor was alive, he asked him what to do if his imperial uncle didn't listen to him, how did he answer at that time?

He said that they are all a family, no matter how bad Uncle Huang is, he is also an elder, and he will convince people with reason.

But as a result, the old emperor burped on his front foot, and he began to find a reason to kill people on his back foot, and he didn't shy away from it at all, how could he still have the slightest appearance of convincing people.

Time passed little by little, and some officials' accounts of the imperial grandson listened carefully, but some people, the imperial grandson only listened to one or two sentences or glanced at the name and skipped it.

There are not a few officials who have returned to Beijing to report on their work this year, but it is still the turn of the Shen family soon.

Shen Jingcheng, who heard the eunuch singing and his name, immediately walked out of the ranks of officials and began to explain the local situation in Defu step by step, and there was no bright spot in the answer.

In the past, the imperial grandson didn't know how Shen Jingcheng answered the old emperor, but now he frowned slightly when he heard it.

This person's answer to the question is very rigid, and there is no bright spot, and even he wants to take a nap when he listens to this person's narration, why does the old emperor value him so much, and he even promoted him to three levels last time?

The imperial grandson didn't speak on it, and after Shen Jingcheng answered, he also lowered his eyes and shut up.

After a long time, the imperial grandson came back to his senses under the eunuch's reminder, and waved his hand indifferently to let Shen Jingcheng retreat.

Shen Jingcheng respectfully took a few steps back, and then returned to the corner of the official ranks.

After a while, he heard the eunuch's shrill voice sound: "Retreat—...... to the court."

Shen Jingcheng heard the sound and shouted long live with the officials, and waited for the imperial grandson to leave the hall, and then walked outside the house with the crowd.

In the harem, Song Qingyue couldn't help but be a little disappointed after listening to the news from the palace maid who served her.

A few years ago, the old emperor valued that person to the point of being promoted to the third level in a row, and she thought that this surnamed Shen had any great ability, but it turned out that after three years, he didn't make any outstanding political achievements.

However, although this person is not good enough, there is nothing wrong with it in the end, and she just needs a backer with an official to let her gain a foothold in the palace, even if this person is not outstanding, just a prefect, it is better than no one to let her rely on.

Song Qingyue thought like this, so she dressed herself up carefully.

In fact, if there was someone in her Song family who could use it, she would not hit Shen Jingcheng with her idea.

No one knows, now she has entered the palace as she wished, but she is not even a concubine, it is said that she is the old man next to the emperor's grandson, but she only got a small nobleman.

You must know that in the eyes of those concubines, this title is an ant who can be handled at any time, anyone can make her kneel, and anyone can dictate to her.

And the reason behind all this is only because she was born in a business, and because she was raised outside by the emperor's grandson, and because almost all of those women have the background of official families, but she has nothing.

Now there are all kinds of beauties in the palace, and the imperial grandson is a little alienated from her, who was raised in the past, and her health is not very good, and she has to take care of this and that woman when she has a husband and wife.

What do the women in the palace live on? It's nothing more than the grace of the superior, or the thick background of the family, but what she wants is nothing, how can she not be in a hurry?

So she thought of Shen Jingcheng again, she wanted to have a backer for her to rely on, even if she still couldn't keep the favor of the imperial grandson, at least she could live in this palace.

Therefore, when the little eunuch came back to inquire about the itinerary of the imperial grandson, Song Qingyue immediately went to intercept Hu halfway, and pulled the person to his palace weakly.

"Your Majesty, don't you know, that Mrs. Shen is a vulgar woman, if it weren't for Mrs. Shen's dragging, Lord Shen would definitely do better now, I have been a pity that Lord Shen has such a wife all these years, so I want to ask if you can choose a well-informed woman for him to help Lord Shen manage the back house, and it can be regarded as a whole of his life-saving grace to me back then?" Song Qingyue raised her eyes softly and prayed for the imperial grandson.

She knew that the crown prince's favorite was like this, with an innocent face, eyes full of him, and a trace of pity in her eyes.

"Yes, I should do it to you." The imperial grandson was really attracted by Song Qingyue like this, and gently hugged the person in his arms.

In fact, Song Qingyue's thoughts, the imperial grandson can see it clearly, but in this harem, almost all his concubines have backgrounds, but Song Qingyue has nothing, so he can also understand her panic.

Besides, in his opinion, it's not a big deal either.

Shen Jingcheng looks really ordinary now, if he can grow up, it will naturally be good, not only can he serve him in the government, but also help him balance the harem battle under the power of the power.

If Shen Jingcheng didn't have that ability to grow up, he wouldn't care. This not only did not pose any threat to him, but also fulfilled Song Qingyue's careful thinking, why not.

When Song Qingyue saw him agree, she immediately happily got tired of getting into his arms and entangled with him.

Here, after Shen Jingcheng returned to the courtyard of the capital, he waited for the Ministry of Officials to arrange his official position, whether he would continue to rise or stay in place, because of the attitude of the imperial grandson, it was unknown.

But in fact, Shen Jingcheng is very satisfied with everything now, he doesn't really want to be promoted again, and if he is promoted again, he will soon be a Beijing official. And he doesn't like to stay in this smoky capital, and he is also very aggrieved to do things under the hands of the imperial grandson, and there will be no good end in the future, and he doesn't want to get involved at all.

However, Shen Jingcheng thought too simply, before the appointment documents of the ministry came down, the imperial grandson's holy decree had already arrived first, and with the eunuch who read the holy decree, there was also a young woman with a beautiful face.
