Chapter 173: And the dish is revealed
There was silence in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and Lin Miaozhen looked up at the "man" sitting on the couch in front of her.
Zhao Surui was born well, and his brother joked that if he wasn't born in the emperor's family, he would be able to leave a name in the history books with his beauty like Song Yu Pan An, and he was so angry that Zhao Surui, who was only twelve years old, would paint a beard on his face.
When he grew up, Zhao Surui was very handsome and sharp, coupled with some yin owl ruthlessness, his face was like the edge of a blood-stained sword and the wings of a poisonous flower butterfly.
Today's "Zhao Surui" is like a piece of jade that has been treasured for thousands of years, and it is like a deep lake that has been silent for countless years.
"Once you have a conclusion in your heart, you will find that you and Zhao Surui are actually different everywhere." Five
Her eyes turned to the cyan woven gold sleeves, and Lin Miaozhen said with a smile:
"When did you start changing? These days, I occasionally think about it...... When I took out my brother's five thousand taels of silver, it was already you, right? Zhao Surui is not good at dealing with women, and he only calls me sister occasionally, unlike you, it is obviously the first time I have met, and you can also be intimate and coquettish with me."
"It's not the first time I've seen you."
Shen Shiqing suddenly spoke.
Lin Miaozhen paused.
"In the spring of the seventeenth year of Mingkang, on the folding bamboo platform, the prince Zhao Suqian took two teenagers to participate in the poetry meeting, one was born like a bright moon, looking forward to the brilliance, and the other was injured on his hand, obviously looking good but with a bad face."
Thinking of the old things, Shen Shiqing's eyes were far away.
In the spring of the seventeenth year of Mingkang, Huaishui has not yet come after two months of heavy rain, and the court knows that the prince is going to make a marriage in autumn.
Chu Jiyuan was wearing a clean robe and arguing with others about tax administration, Shi Wence brought two pheasants that he had hunted to find a fire to roast and eat, some people were drinking, some were writing poems, and some people were looking for people to read an article everywhere.
Her dad was smiling toothlessly as he held her much-acclaimed bluerock fishing chart.
"Sister Lin, I still remember that a reckless boy came to you and asked if you could paint a portrait of you."
Lin Miaozhen frowned, she naturally remembered that day, it was the last time Zhao Suqian took her out of the palace, and after thousands of days and nights, she had taken out those bits and pieces to reminisce repeatedly, how could she not remember the handsome and elegant young man with bright eyes?
"You, you're Master Shen's nephew?"
"Nope." Shen Shiqing shook her head, she got up from the couch and walked slowly in front of Lin Miaozhen.
I saw her right hand clasped, pressed on top of her left hand, her knees slightly bent, and she bowed to Lin Miaozhen as a woman.
"Sister Lin Wanfu, Shen Shiqing, the daughter of the Shen family, was young and unpresented, and she still looks forward to Sister Lin Haihan."
Shen's daughter?
Shen Shiqing?!
This night, Empress Lin Miaozhen, who cut off the empress dowager's henchmen and exposed the emperor's authenticity, took a step back in surprise.
"Are you Shen Shiqing? That, that Shen Shiqing I saw that day...... Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty trusts the queen mother, and after being trapped in my body, he wanted to borrow the queen mother's hand to let the two of us exchange our bodies back, but unfortunately, he didn't expect me to let Sister Lin go out of the palace to meet him, but it made him hesitate a little in his heart."
"No wonder, the letter he wrote to me that day contained a poem written to me by Su Qian in the past."
Lin Miaozhen's eyes widened, and then she thought of the awkward look of "Shen Shiqing" in front of her, she thought that it was because she had lost her temperament by Ning Anbo's mansion, but now she realized that it was Zhao Surui who stammered and hesitated, and didn't know whether to reveal his true identity and discernment!
"Poof—hahahaha! If I knew it was him, I should have spoken to him a few more times! What a writhing and pinching girl!"
Lin Miaozhen looked at the real "Shen Shiqing" again, and felt more and more interesting.
"Since you call me Sister Lin, I should naturally call you Sister as well."
blurted out the word "sister", Lin Miaozhen held on to the multi-treasure shelf on the side, and laughed again.
"Zhao Surui, Zhao Surui, he turned into such a beautiful and delicate little lady, hahahahaha!"
Shen Shiqing saw that she couldn't stop laughing, her expression was a little helpless, and she was afraid that she would laugh too hard, so she reached out to help her sit down.
Seeing her walk in, Lin Miaozhen looked at her carefully.
"Based on your words and deeds, I really can't see that you are a woman."
After a pause, she added:
"Looking at that 'Shen Shiqing', I never thought that she was Zhao Surui! Hahaha! Sister Shen, you used to be so cute and cute?"
Cute and cute?
Shen Shiqing, who supported Lin Miaozhen, thought about it carefully and said:
"I was raised by my parents with poetry and books since I was a child, and it wasn't until I was a teenager that my father said that I should be kind and kind, and I don't think I should be cute and cute."
"Hahahaha! You, you still answer so seriously, it can be seen, it can be seen that you are really not cute and cute, then, that is Zhao Surui, he ...... He...... Hahahaha!"
Thinking of Zhao Surui running into his arms with an angry face, or pouting when he was a little drowsy but insisted on letting himself help him, Shen Shiqing said:
"I think this is the genius of His Majesty."
"Talented! Hahahaha! Sister Shen, do you want me to laugh to death so that I can kill my mouth? Hahahaha!"
laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, Lin Miaozhen finally stopped, sat on the couch and held the low table, she looked up at Shen Shiqing:
"You...... Why did you keep him outside? Aren't you afraid of what he can do with his body?"
Lin Miaozhen's words hit the nail on the head.
Shen Shiqing picked up the thin porcelain pot on the low table, which contained the medicinal tea brewed from red dates and Codonopsis, she poured one and put it in Lin Miaozhen's hand, before saying:
"Sister Lin, I can do things as a "Shen Shiqing", no matter how shocking I am, what else can Your Majesty do? Besides, since I am the king of a country, I can easily erase what he has done."
Lin Miaozhen took a sip of tea, holding the teacup and suddenly:
"Yes, as long as you don't care about reputation, there is nothing to be afraid of in this world, and this is also the truth I have only recently figured out, what is reputation? The sword and pen of the future, the lips and tongues of the present people, as long as you stand in a place where you don't have to care about the lips and tongues of the sword and pen, those things are just clouds of smoke."
As she spoke, she waved her hand.
When she raised her eyes, she saw Shen Shiqing looking at her.
"Why do you look at me like that?"
"Just happy." Shen Shiqing was a little sleepy, propped herself on a few with one hand, and said with a smile, "If Sister Lin can say this, I feel that it is worth swapping bodies with Your Majesty."
Lin Miaozhen was stunned, her expression was a little shy and a little astringent.
"If you hadn't let me out of the palace, I'm afraid that I would either drink now, or I would be used as a human target by the Queen Mother, how could I have such an epiphany? It's my duty to thank you. It's not just me, you yourself have suffered a lot, how can you enjoy happiness after becoming this emperor? In the past, Zhao Surui was so extravagant, although most of it was also for casting firearms, he enjoyed a lot of himself, and you were replaced by this emperor, and the palace was saved and saved, and you actually came to manage the accounts for Dayong.
"You don't treat your subordinates harshly, not only because you have a head, but also because you have a head, the big eunuchs in the palace have less to worry about, and the little eunuchs don't have to be as trembling as before, for fear of getting involved in some fatal disputes."
has been in the palace for so many years, from the princess to be selected to the princess to the queen, Lin Miaozhen has seen and heard many tragic things, and it is precisely because she knows these that she feels that Shen Shiqing is even more rare.
"The extravagant good days of being the emperor, you haven't lived a day."
"It's over." Shen Shiqing said, "Isn't it extravagant that I used to grind into a pigment for a few dozen taels of silver? As for the good days of being an emperor...... I am not doing anything but spending money, all the officials and ministers are kneeling in front of me, and there are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for me to sway, compared with these, the beauty of gorgeous clothes
The taste of delicacies is not enough to make my heart flutter."
Shen Shiqing paused and said:
"But the food cooked in Guanglu Temple before was really unpalatable."
Lin Miaozhen wanted to laugh again, but she really couldn't laugh.
"Your temperament is really rare, if someone else is the emperor, I can't say that even the gong bucket will have to be made into gold first."
Seeing Shen Shiqing chuckling lightly, Lin Miaozhen felt a sense of melancholy in her heart.
Diligent in state affairs, valuing the people over the monarch, rectifying the dynasty, and liquidating the rule of officials, it has made the women who have been silent for thousands of years push to the court with one hand, such a person is clearly a rare Ming monarch.
She stole the throne that belonged to Zhao Surui.
She usurped her brother's throne.
"Sister Lin?"
"Huh?"
Shen Shiqing was still closing his eyes to recuperate, and there was a slight sound outside the door, calculating the time, the three cats should also prepare their food.
"In a few days, the New Year's wife will worship, you might as well specially order that "Shen Shiqing" into the palace, you can meet him well."
The moment Shen Shiqing said this, Lin Miaozhen was shocked, for fear that she would say the worry in her heart.
The next moment she was relieved.
Shen Shiqing is such a smart and intelligent person, how can she not know the bitterness and entanglement in her heart?
"Let the Shen family enter the palace to meet you? She'......"
"Shen's dedication is *** meritorious, and he is willing to donate the rubbings of the books in his family to the Jingzhong Women's School, although he killed a person before, he is also called "Righteous Brave", you called her exceptionally, and she is also famous."
Lin Miaozhen nodded.
She really wanted to meet Zhao Surui, but she had just returned to the palace, and the New Year was approaching, so she really didn't have a chance to go out again before the year.
"By the way, Sister Shen, about Qingzhou, Mi Qincha has already written an excerpt to me." Seeing that the tiredness on Shen Shiqing's face could no longer be hidden, Lin Miaozhen was a little unbearable, but she still told the truth:
"The whole Qingzhou Mansion, whether it is the prefect or the government, or the county order or the county school teaching, do not think that women can also be officials, and the imperial court relies on the Ministry of Rites to select female officials, these prefectures and county yamen ignore it, but they are afraid that the selected people will not be satisfactory, if there are a few more things like Wang Cunshu, the talented women in the world will also be disheartened."
"I know."
Shen Shiqing nodded slightly.
"I will deal with this matter, the root of a country lies in the county government, and if there is no strict deterrence, those people will not be able to do things."
Getting up and stretching, Shen Shiqing yawned again.
Looking at the thin and tall back, Lin Miaozhen poured herself another bowl of medicinal tea.
Shen Shiqing, she is really suitable to be an emperor.
