Summoning?

Shen Shiqing propped his arms on the armrest of the throne and looked down at somewhere under the cloud dragon patterned robe.

That mess...... Which place...... Anyway, she didn't want to look at that place, she didn't want to touch it, she had touched it, and every three or four days when she woke up in the morning, she could feel it flourishing somewhere, and it would have to wait for a while before it could go down.

Emperor Zhaode is long and strong, and that place is also similar to his person, and when it is erected, it is quite impressive, Shen Shiqing can accept such occasional disturbances from it, but he really doesn't want it to be of any use.

It's not like she can use it if she wants to!

About Emperor Zhaode's harem, Shen Shiqing doesn't know much, only knows that the queen's surname is Lin, and she is one of the inner princesses who have been raised in the palace since childhood, the first prince left before he got married when he was nineteen years old, Emperor Zhaode was named the prince at the age of fifteen, and married Lin in the same year. Since the Lin family married Emperor Zhaode, there has been no movement, only serving the queen mother in the deep palace, and she almost never speaks at the occasional banquet in the palace.

In the early years, the nobles in Beijing talked about her, there was always something strange between their eyebrows, the Lin family was just a petty official, but the queen mother liked the daughter of the Lin family and called her into the harem to raise her, the palace had a rumor that the first prince was very good to the Lin family, and she was going to marry her after she was married. Because this matter is a bit bizarre, the ladies occasionally say "the queen is good" in a weird way.

It was only later that Emperor Zhaode's monarchy was prosperous, and the queen was rarely seen in front of people, so these vinegar words were less.

Looking at the twists and turns in front of him, Shen Shiqing thought about it again and again in his heart, and felt that this matter was more troublesome than dealing with those vassal kings crying poor.

These days, these eunuchs rarely mention the harem in front of her, and only blindly coax her to eat, drink and have fun, which shows that Emperor Zhaode usually doesn't care about women.

But if she blindly hides, it will only make people suspect that there is something wrong with Emperor Zhaode's body for a long time, and she is afraid that it will be a bigger trouble at that time, so it is better to deal with it first.

Having made up her mind, Shen Shiqing drew a circle on the fold in front of her, and said casually: "Let's go to the queen." ”

Seeing that the emperor was interested, Yiji immediately answered and said, "Then the emperor might as well put dinner in Changchun Palace?" You also have a few more words to the mother. ”

"It's fine. The dish that the three cats were just ordered to cook was sent directly to Changchun Palace. ”

"Yes."

A chicken hurriedly walked out of the hall and ordered someone to send a letter to Changchun Palace, and did not forget to instruct the Shang Food Bureau to prepare a few dishes that the emperor loved to eat - according to the Dayong ancestral system, the emperor wanted to use the food sent by Guanglu Temple to show that he shared weal and woe with the Manchu Dynasty, and the meals of the harem concubines were prepared by the female officials of the Shang Food Bureau.

The little eunuchs waiting in front of the Qianqing Palace were ordered to leave, and a chicken called people back again:

"Let them be vigilant when they go to Changchun Palace to deliver the message, the emperor has not entered the harem for a long time, don't let the emperor lose his interest."

After telling him, a chicken let people go.

Because Gao Huaiming had embarrassed the courtiers before, the emperor ordered to clean up the internal prisons, and there were no more than a dozen little eunuchs in the Qing Palace overnight.

A chicken crowed over the second dog, and whispered: "Tonight, while the emperor is away, I will be tight with the children and grandchildren below." If there is another Gao Huaiming, let's go down and continue to play with Zhang with shoes. ”

Zhang Play is a great eunuch who was trusted by the emperor when he was the emperor, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he became more and more powerful, and even those of them who served in front of the emperor had to call him a grandfather, and he lifted the heel of his shoes and held a spit pot. Now that the emperor who has grown up can't tolerate another Zhang in the palace, there are indispensable shrewd people like Gao Huaiming waiting for the opportunity to take the position, if they can't take care of the emperor for the emperor, the emperor will not be more troublesome than killing a Gao Huaiming.

This was said seriously, and the second dog nodded in response.

Shen Shiqing watched the fold until she saw Shen Shimo, and the lights in the Qianqing Palace were turned on, so she put the fold down.

On the way to Changchun Palace, she made up her mind more and more, if the Lin family was really as cowardly and peaceful as rumored, she would coax her, if she was a shrewd person, she would give her some errands so that she could not take care of herself.

The harem is headed by the queen, and as long as you stabilize the queen, it will be easier for others.

The royal driver went all the way to Changchun Palace, Shen Shiqing got off the dragon chariot, and saw a woman dressed in red guarding the palace gate with someone to greet him.

"Concubine, welcome Your Majesty."

Shen Shiqing took the opportunity to take a look at the queen of the dynasty, and saw that she was also in her twenties, wearing a brown hat with all kinds of beads and emeralds, and a jewel-inlaid forehead under the brown hat, the vertical collar and sleeve jacket on her body was made of red makeup and satin, and the lower body was a gold-woven cloud dragon pattern skirt, and her body was very luxurious.

When she straightened up, Shen Shiqing's first feeling was that the queen was quite tall, not like a man, but two inches taller than the four rats, her hair reached between the lips and nose of Emperor Zhaode, and she was dressed in splendid clothes and also had the beauty of Zhilan born in front of the court.

Shen Shiqing walked in front as "Emperor Zhaode", the queen followed half a step behind, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs in Changchun Palace knelt beside the stone road.

Because His Majesty was coming to eat, the lights in Changchun Palace were brilliant, and when he entered the main hall, Shen Shiqing had just sat down, and he saw the palace maids and female officials rushing in and starting to serve the dishes, and soon put more than 20 dishes on the table.

Queen Jiang did not sit down immediately, but took off the two ruby rings on her hands, cleaned her hands again, and said to the others in the hall:

"Go out, I'll serve Your Majesty for dinner."

As the queen, she has to serve Her Majesty in person, and it is no wonder that people call her deferential.

Shen Shiqing took a sip of tea a little nervously.

The eunuchs and palace maids, including a chicken and three cats, answered, and retreated together, and in the blink of an eye, only the queen and her were left in the main hall of the huge Changchun Palace.

Shen Shiqing was sitting on the seat and was thinking about how to be less close to the queen, so she watched the queen come over, and then pinched her ears.

Shen Shiqing: ?

The empress, who pinched the emperor's ear, poured a glass of wine casually, but drank it for herself: "Okay, those ministers won't let you repair the West Garden, let's find another way to get money, where is it worth your anger for so long?" You must have taken the opportunity to go to Xiyuan to have fun again, and forgot your sister and I in the palace. ”

Shen Shiqing looked at the woman in front of her a little dazedly, how could she connect her with the respectful queen just now.

The sleeves of the full-sleeved jacket made of red makeup and satin were untied, and the long skirt with gold cloud dragon pattern was lifted, and Lin, who was quite bizarre in various rumors, sat next to her in an even more bizarre manner.

Of course, Lin didn't know that the "emperor" next to her had changed, she used chopsticks to hold a cabbage bun wrapped in shrimp and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile:

"This dish is fresh, and the fat white cat you raised has finally grown brains."

Is this the case with the emperor and queen?

Shen Shiqing tried to pick up the chopsticks calmly, and saw Lin put the cabbage bun in the small plate in front of him.

"You deserve to be pitiful as an emperor, except for the big oil and sauce, which are some wild vegetables."

This tone of speech really didn't look like Emperor Zhaode's wife, but more like a close friend of Emperor Zhaode.

Shen Shiqing looked at Lin's face and found that she was very bright and generous, with bright eyebrows, high nose and red lips, and a hearty aura that is rarely seen in women.

Afraid that she would see the flaws, Shen Shiqing no longer held the emperor's shelf, but smiled and said, "Thank you......"

"What are you doing to thank your sister?" Lin patted "Zhao Surui" on the arm and took out a few silver tickets from his arms, "This is five thousand taels, my father has been sent to the palace for several days, if you don't come again, I will have to pretend to send you porridge and snacks...... This money was obtained by my eldest brother in Liaodong with the Jurchens, in addition to the money there is also an excellent ginseng, my father didn't bring it in, you have time to let a chicken go to my house to get it back. ”

Speaking of sending porridge and snacks, Lin's face was disgusted.

Shen Shiqing was almost choked by the jade shrimp roll she had made, and hurriedly took the silver ticket and put it away:

"Okay."

Lin Miaozhen glanced at Zhao Surui, and saw that he lowered his eyes, but when he still couldn't lift his spirits, he gave him two chopsticks and dishes, and then said with a smile: "If you want to imitate the bird gun, you have to come step by step, and when you make a better one, you won't blow up and hurt people on the battlefield, and those ministers will naturally not talk to you about any ancestral rules, why hurry?" ”

Birds? It turned out that Emperor Zhaode asked for money to repair the garden in order to get money to imitate Western firearms?

After figuring out the joints, Shen Shiqing simply pretended to be sullen, and ate a few bites of the meat in the bowl before saying:

"Next year, we will fight Moxi, and I want those people to see with their own eyes how my firearms can make a difference."

These words were a little childish, which made Lin Miaozhen smile: "There is always a chance, after the fight is over, there are still Japanese people in Moxi, didn't you say that you want to build a meritorious work that has not been done in the past dynasties, so that the spirit of Su Qian in the sky will also rejoice for you?" ”

While speaking, Lin Miaozhen poured herself a glass of wine and drank it.

It was her sixth drink of the night.

Shen Shiqing vaguely saw a trace of loneliness and sadness from the flow of her eyes.

At this moment, Shen Shiqing figured everything out.

I see......

After dinner, the Lin family, who didn't look like the queen, pulled "Zhao Surui" and said for another hour before letting him go, seeing that her tone was natural and casual, Shen Shiqing naturally understood that Emperor Zhaode would never spend the night in Changchun Palace.

Because it was not his wife who lived in the Changchun Palace.

Sitting on the dragon chariot and looking at the starry sky, Shen Shiqing turned his head and saw a person at the gate of Changchun Palace carrying a lamp and turning into the door, that person was probably a little drunk, and his steps were a little staggering.

In a trance, she seemed to see Shen Shiqing who was reading, practicing, coloring, and painting in Ning Anbo's mansion.

The women in this world, seemingly talented, seem to be unruly, in fact, there is nothing, talent can not be exchanged for officials, frivolous and chic can not be exchanged for the end of the sword world, the wisdom praised by the world is just a flower in the clouds, in the end, they only have their own not very strong bones, a life that has nothing to rely on, these must all be gambled out, in exchange for a little "get what you want", just like walking barefoot in the wilderness full of thorns, relying on their own blood to drip a way, Such a path is destined to be dumb and silent, and cannot be told to this world.

Just like the Lin family told a big lie and had such a nominal marriage with Emperor Zhaode, others would only say that she was crazy and rampant when they knew about it, who would have thought that she might just want to exchange for a quiet palace room where she could drink wine and think about the young prince who promised her for life back then.

And what about her? She has been in trouble for seven years, what did she get in exchange?

Fingers slowly rubbed together, as if he was holding a stone pestle in his hand to smash things, Shen Shiqing lowered his eyes,

Fanfirearms ...... Gunpowder...... What Emperor Zhaode wanted to do was actually this kind of thing.

"A chicken."

"The Emperor."

"You say, I can see the recipes in the ancient books, will there be people who can see the refining method of gunpowder in the ancient books?"

A chicken trotted all the way beside the dragon chariot and said with a smile: "There are countless capable people in the world, and the slave maid thought, maybe there really is such a person." ”

Shen Shiqing rubbed his fingers and continued to ask: "How can I find such a person?" ”

After saying that, she laughed first.

She remembered His Majesty the Emperor who was in front of "Shen Shiqing" in Zhuangzi outside the city at the moment, she had discovered some of His Majesty's unknown secrets, and she wondered if His Majesty had ever found out that what he had always wanted had arrived in front of him?

"Ahh On the Zhuangzi, Zhao Surui, who curled up into a shrimp on the bed because of the uncomfortable menstruation, sneezed in a daze.

Opening his eyes, he smacked his lips with some regret.

Just now he seemed to dream that Shen Sanfu that guy used his body to tease Sister Lin, but he was pressed to the ground and beaten by Sister Lin, and before he could applaud, the dream was over.
