Shen Huo's brows finally twisted, wondering why the queen was so rude today, he thought that He was uncomfortable, and quietly reached out to hold her hand.

He Suoyi's hand was cold and delicate, as if he was holding a piece of fine jade, Shen Huo sighed slightly, and he said lightly: "Does the queen have any other opinions?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are so many show girls here, don't you have a crush on the rest?" He Suoyixiu's eyebrows were full of worry, and there was indescribable tiredness in his voice, "They are all from famous and noble families, and they are middle-class, and they are innocent......"

Shen Huo interrupted her, "I know. ”

He Suoyi also realized that she was far away, and she said with a bit of pleading and flattering: "Can the emperor choose another show girl?" ”

Shen Huo smiled, patted her wrist for comfort, and said as a matter of course: "In the palace every three years, not only do I choose concubines, but also the queen, you choose the people in the harem here, why do you have to listen to me in everything?" ”

"The concubine knows," the clouds between He Suoyi's eyebrows still did not dissipate, she knew that the emperor did not understand the meaning of her words, and continued unwillingly: "Then the emperor will choose a few more that he likes?" ”

Shen Huo bowed, his gaze swept over the rows of show girls standing, most of these women had just arrived at the age of Jilu, and they were full of grace, but they were supposed to be a lively age, but they were bound by the rules and looked lifeless, which made Shen Huo not interested.

Chen Tang was the only one dressed in red, raising his eyes from time to time to peek at himself, the whole person was indescribably smart and cute, and Shen Huo couldn't help but feel comfortable when he looked at her.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks this girl is clean and lovely." He Suoyi watched Shen Huo's gaze fall on Chen Tang and was reluctant to move away, she couldn't help but be annoyed, and casually pointed to a show girl to attract Shen Huo's attention.

Shen Huo looked in the direction of her finger and saw a small girl with a childish face standing in the corner, she shrank her neck in fright when she heard this, and she didn't dare to look directly at the emperor.

He Suoyi looked at the show girl who had just followed his finger so badly, felt embarrassed, and withdrew his gaze.

Shen Huo didn't want the queen to lose face, so he echoed: "She looks stupid, but she is really clean, what's your name?" ”

The show girl had never seen the scene, and she didn't think she would be chosen at all when she shrank in the corner, but the emperor suddenly asked her name.

The more anxious she became, the more she scratched her ears and cheeks, her tongue seemed to be knotted, and she couldn't speak, "Go back, go back to the emperor...... The slave is called ......"

"This should be the daughter of the Su family," Fortunately, He Suoyi has seen the roster of show girls and remembers her surname, so it will not be embarrassing.

Shen Huo felt that the woman couldn't even answer a sentence, so naturally he didn't wait to see her, and coldly spit out a few words, "Feng Wei agreed." ”

The short show girl knelt down and thanked her in a trembling way.

The begonia flowers on Chen Tang's head, who had been neglected for a while, actually attracted a few butterflies in the courtyard, and Shen Huo's attention returned to her.

The elegant and white begonia flowers like condensed jade seem to grow on Chen Tang's flowing cloud bun, attracting butterflies to entangle and fly. She stood in place, as if afraid of the butterflies and did not dare to act, her red clothes scorching and blown by the wind, as beautiful as a picture scroll.

Shen Huo's eyes were a little playful, and he asked Chen Tang with a smile, "Are you afraid of those butterflies?" ”

Chen Tang nodded slightly, feeling extremely embarrassed. When she was a child, she thought butterflies were beautiful, and ordered people to stuff a bag made of yarn with butterflies, and when she looked closely, she was accidentally blinded by the butterfly that was trying to stir her wings, and she almost lost her sight.

Shen Huo intended to tease her, but found that she was really scared, and immediately asked the palace maid to help drive away the butterflies around Chen Tang.

"Since Miss Chen is wearing flowers on her head, why bother giving flowers?" The corners of Shen Huo's mouth hooked a gentle arc, obviously he liked this show girl very much.

But He Suoyi interjected: "Miss Chen's flower is a real flower, just folded from the courtyard, the emperor will give her a golden flower!" ”

Chen Tang was taken aback, the queen was determined not to let herself stay in the palace, she pursed her lips, raised her hand and tore off the flowers on her head.

He Suoyi didn't know what she meant, and squinted his eyes to look carefully. Chen Tang snorted without manners, and said seriously: "If the queen doesn't like this flower, the slave will lose it." ”

"Are you angry with my queen?" This time, before he could rely on what to do, the emperor opened his mouth first, and there was a thick displeasure in his voice, which made Chen Tang's heart tremble.

"Slaves don't dare!" Chen Tang was also frightened, and when she raised her eyes to look at the emperor again, her eyes were already red.

Shen Huo didn't really want to cure her crimes, he raised his eyebrows, and said calmly: "Feng Chen Tang is Chen Changzai." ”

He Suoyi was shaken by the hand he held in the palm of his hand, and his face was very bad. She tried to pull out the hand that the emperor was holding her, but Shen Huo's strength was too great, and after trying a few times to no avail, He Suoyi settled down and turned his face to the side.

Shen Huo was helpless, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Why is the queen dissatisfied with this show girl? ”

"Your Majesty, if you take all these beautiful girls in the palace into the harem, the concubines won't say a word, but ......" He Suyi said her thoughts without the slightest concealment, she turned her head to look at Chen Tang, and her tone was obviously a bit of gnashing of teeth, "Only she can't." ”

The queen is suspected of being unreasonable, even pampered and arrogant, and the show girls standing in the hall secretly raised their heads to look at this dispute that has nothing to do with them.

Chen Tang bit his plump and plump lower lip nervously, revealing a small missing corner. Her appearance shows that she is more and more graceful, and she feels pity when she sees me.

Shen Huo glanced at Chen Tang, the soft place in his heart seemed to be touched, he looked at the queen again, and asked: "Miss Chen is kind-hearted, she looks smart and lovely, if she enters the harem, she can also help you." ”

"This palace told you that people should not be disgraced!" He Suoyi's dignified past was already gone, and his tone became more and more excited, "Chen Tang's reputation in the local area is not good, and when the concubine went to Shanxi with you, I never saw any Chen Jiabu donating refugees. ”

"The slave maid's family is rich, but it is not yet enough to compare with those official eunuchs who have the imperial court, and it is reasonable that the queen has not heard of the meager things they have done." Chen Tang's lies were seamless, and after speaking, he glanced at the emperor aggrievedly, and his wet eyes seemed to be begging for his help.

But Shen Huo is not a foolish king, he knows that Chen Tang will make the queen so disgusted, there must be a reason, so he had to deliberately stagger her gaze, and said in a low voice: "Miss Chen just said that she sold her jewelry and tried her best to help those refugees, could it be that the queen still wants to send someone to investigate the mouths of those refugees?" ”

The second half of his sentence was a little impatient, Jin Yu stood behind He Suoyi, knowing that Niang Niang was angry now, and she was no longer sober in the past, so she was busy waiting for tea.

"Why should the emperor and the mother be angry for a show girl and hurt their feelings." Jinyu has always been able to speak, she looked up, looked at Shen Huo's face, and said cautiously: "If the emperor blames Niangniang for a show girl, won't it make Niangniang lose face if it is passed out?" ”

Shen Huo listened to Jin Yu's words, and then he was empowered, and glanced at He Suoyi with a little apology, but the anger in his heart had not dissipated, and he sent it to Jin Yu by the way, "How can you intervene here?" ”

Jin Yu was stunned, but she didn't expect the emperor to be angry with herself, but fortunately, He Suoyi was on the side to help her speak, "On weekdays, this palace is really spoiled by you, and the emperor dares to disobey the rules in front of him, don't go down quickly!" ”

"Yes." Jin Yu answered, as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly retreated.

He Suoyi drank two sips of tea, calmed down, calmed down, and said with the queen's unique temperament and majesty: "In front of the emperor, even if you don't wear a hairpin ring, you shouldn't wear wildflowers on your head, it's not etiquette." ”

Chen Tang was instantly lowered by her voice, and she simply knelt down to admit her mistake, "The queen's lesson is that the slave's father is self-made and does not pay attention to etiquette. ”

Her voice became smaller and quieter, and finally she was choked, Chen Tang raised her head, with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

As the king of a country, Shen Huo usually hated others for offending his majesty, but Chen Tang knelt there, his body was thin, and his face was full of grievances, which made him very distressed. The tone of his voice couldn't help but slow down, as if he was worried that his voice would scare Chen Tang as soon as he raised his voice, "You are also a newcomer to the palace, so it doesn't hurt if you don't know these things for a while." ”

The emperor's maintenance of Chen Tang made He Suoyi feel that there was a piece of cotton wool in his heart, which was very uncomfortable. But the more she looked like this, the more unhappy Shen Huo became, he looked at Chen Tang, directly ignored the queen's dissatisfaction, and was willful.

"These etiquettes are waiting for you to learn slowly after you enter the palace," Shen Huo's gentle voice carried undeniable firmness, he didn't look at the white-faced queen beside him, and said to himself: "Feng Chen Tang is a nobleman and gives him a residence in Huayang Palace." ”

As soon as Shen Huo finished speaking, He Suoyi was held by him and immediately broke free, and he couldn't say how empty he was for a while. It's like flying a kite with an old grandmother in the palace when I was a child, and the thin kite string suddenly broke, watching my favorite kite drift farther and farther, and finally disappearing the sense of emptiness.

Shen Huo's attitude softened, he looked at Chen Tang who was smiling and thanking, and after all, he didn't reward her with anything else. He Suoyi leaned back in the chair slightly, his expression was scattered, and he seemed to be no longer interested in the show girls in front of him.

Chen Tang thanked him and did not leave directly, but stood in the corner on the side. Shen Huo was in a bad mood and let her go.

"The queen is unwell?" Shen Huo knew that she was angry with herself, but in public, it was difficult for her to say it openly.

Hearing this, He Suoyi hooked the corners of his lips sarcastically, "How dare the concubine?" ”
