A small sedan chair stopped slowly in front of a corner gate of the palace, and the aunt who had been waiting there stepped forward.

Xi Tao opened the curtain for Ji Shu and helped her down.

"Say hello to Miss Cousin."

"Auntie is polite."

Aunt Lin's confidant, Aunt Wen Ying, came out of the Lin Mansion and was very familiar with Ji Shu, she stepped forward to hold Ji Shu's arm and led her into the palace, and on the way, the two talked softly.

Ji Shu: "Is my aunt okay?" ”

Concubine Xian was pregnant a few years ago, but unfortunately the child was not saved, and some injuries were made.

"I've recuperated, it's no big deal. Niangniang is very worried about Miss. ”

Aunt Ying whispered that the matter of the Marquis of Wuding's mansion had been reported to the palace, and even if Ji Shu didn't hand over this invitation, Concubine Xian would summon her into the palace to inquire.

Concubine Xian lived in Yanxi Palace in the East Sixth Palace, and Aunt Ying led her all the way to the main hall and said, "Niangniang, Miss Biao is here." ”

Ji Shu lowered his head and walked into the warm pavilion, curtsying his knees and bowing, "Courtier Ji Shu, see Concubine Xian." ”

Concubine Xian quickly got off the kang and reached out to help her, her eyes were red.

"Hurry up! You all go out, and Aunt Ying stays. ”

The palace maids who served tea at the entrance of the hall answered yes and retreated one after another, and Aunt Ying went over to close the door.

Concubine Xian pulled Ji Shu to sit down and shed tears, "Shu Shu, I've wronged you!" I already know about the affairs of the Marquis of Wuding, and the emperor has ordered it to be dealt with, do you know? If you still have any anger, just tell me, I'll go and ask the emperor! ”

Ji Shu shook her head, she looked at Concubine Xian, after many years, this face had gradually blurred in her memories before.

Her aunt was only four years old apart from her, but she left earlier than her, and she was involved in the battle in the inner palace at the age of flowers, and she didn't even find out who the real murderer was.

The two have been playmates since childhood, although they are inferior but have a very good relationship, Ji Shu blinked his eyes and held back his sourness, and said in a snort:

"Is the mother okay?"

"You don't have to worry about me. I have Aunt Ying here, as well as my father and brother, and the emperor treats me well. ”

Most of the men of the Lin family have entered the Tai Hospital, and Concubine Xian's situation is reasonably safe, I don't know how she contracted a serious illness and died in the previous life.

Ji Shu shook his head, and Concubine Xian said: "Don't ask me first, you must have something to do when you come to find me, you just have to say it!" ”

Ji Shu narrowed his eyes and said softly: "I want to reconcile with Qi Chengxu, but neither my father nor the Ji family will refuse." ”

"And leave?"

Concubine Xian was stunned, she blinked her eyes and quickly came back to her senses, "It's okay to be reconciled, the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion is a snake cave, and Qi Chengxu is not a good thing." You said my sister didn't allow it? ”

Ji Shu smiled bitterly: "In order to hide from my father, I haven't been back for the past few days." ”

"I heard that the Ji family is pedantic...... It's okay, I'll say it on your behalf, it's a big deal I'll find my father to persuade my sister. ”

Ji Shu shook his head, "Don't bother like this." Auntie, I want to see the emperor. ”

Concubine Xian quickly understood: "Do you want the emperor to help you reconcile?" I'm afraid it won't work......"

How could the emperor take care of this trivial matter of his daughter's family, and it involved two eunuchs, even if he sued the queen, he would not help Ji Shu, at most, he would play fifty boards to persuade him to make peace.

Concubine Xian: "Shu Shu, don't worry, this matter has to be discussed in the long run." I asked the Lin family to help you, and I will let the Marquis of Wuding take out the book of harmony. ”

"Just ask my aunt to ask for instructions on my behalf, I'm not just for the Marquis of Wuding's mansion to face the saint."

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Concubine Xian saw that she had made up her mind, so she gritted her teeth, "Okay." At this time, the emperor should be in the court...... Auntie, you bring me that royal blue palace dress. ”

"I'll change my clothes and take you to the porch to intercept people."

Aunt Ying glanced at Concubine Xian disapprovingly, but Concubine Xian pretended not to see it, and after a while, Aunt Ying came back by herself.

"The mother is changing." Aunt Ying stepped forward and poured Ji Shu a cup of tea, sighed and said:

"Miss Biao, the emperor will not help you with these things, Niangniang will make the emperor angry if she leads you to the emperor. The royal blue palace dress that Niangniang said is the emperor's favorite, but if this dress blinds you, the emperor will have a bad heart in the future, and it will be difficult for Niangniang to protect herself. ”

"I know aunt. I'm not going to ask the emperor, if you believe me, I won't hurt my aunt. ”

Aunt Ying said all that, and didn't say much.

Concubine Xian changed her clothes, and then led Aunt Ying and Ji Shu to wait on the road that the emperor must pass when he went to court.

It didn't take long for the emperor's guard of honor to appear in sight, and Concubine Xian stepped on the masonry to meet him.

"The concubines see the emperor."

"Why is Concubine Xian standing here? It's windy here, and your body hasn't healed yet. ”

The emperor cared, nodded at Aunt Ying and said, "Wen Ying, tie the cloak to your master." ”

"The concubine is not cold, you said this morning that the court came to the palace and the concubine had breakfast. The concubine is waiting for you here. ”

"You don't have to go so far to wait, are you tired?"

The two held hands and talked, and they were also in love.

Ji Shu secretly glanced at the emperor, Emperor Tianzhi is forty-seven this year, not young but not bad, he is gentle and solemn, his experience is piled up on him, precipitating the stability of a mature man, but his eyes reveal the alienation from above, arrogance, and his true emotions are hidden very tightly, which is the standard imperial appearance.

After that, Emperor Tianzhi took Concubine Xian and went to Yanxi Palace, Ji Shu kept standing behind Aunt Ying, and Emperor Tianzhi didn't notice her.

When they arrived at Yanxi Palace, the palace people served breakfast, and Emperor Tianzhi remembered: "I remember what you said last night, the girl of Ji Cifu's family, your niece Ji Shu wants to enter the palace and greet you, hasn't anyone come yet?" ”

"Shu Shu has already arrived, and he went with me to pick up the emperor."

Concubine Xian waved back, and Ji Shu stepped forward, lifted her skirt and knelt down, "Courtier Ji Shu, see the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

"No need to be polite, get up. Your aunt often mentions you to me, and since you have entered the palace, you will accompany her more. ”

Emperor Tianzhi's eyes flashed, his thoughts flowed, the smile on his face had faded, he glanced at Concubine Xian, and said lukewarmly to Ji Shu: "It's just that you yourself, it seems that there are still things that have not been resolved?" ”

"The courtiers are brave, and today they entered the palace to ask their aunt for peace, and they also came to confess to the emperor."

Concubine Xian was stunned, Emperor Tianzhi was even more stunned by these words, he was sure that Ji Shu was borrowing Concubine Xian and came to him for help, could it be that he guessed wrong?

"Huh? What are your sins? ”

"Years ago, the war situation in Wei Customs, the grain and grass were not in order, the courtiers were worried about the country and the people, and they happened to have a few private points, so they had to hide everyone and collect grain and send it to Wei Customs without authorization. I heard that the emperor was looking around recently, and the courtiers thought they were guilty and didn't dare to hide anymore, so they came to ask for guilt. ”

Concubine Xian's hands trembled, her eyes were so hung that she stared away, she quietly looked at the emperor, and Emperor Tianzhi was also stunned.

After a while, he said, "That person is you?" Are you Lin Sui? ”

"I don't dare to show my real name when I go out, Lin Nai's mother's surname, and the age is a small character of a courtier."

Ji Shu's head was on the ground, "The courtiers are guilty." ”

Emperor Tianzhi was stunned for a long time and smiled, this smile was mixed with a lot of emotions, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

Emperor Tianzhi said loudly: "Hahahaha! I see! ”

Concubine Xian immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Shu Shu is not sensible, please ......"

"How is it ignorant! Ji Shu, she saved a city of people and countless soldiers! She is a great contributor to Great Qin! Get up! ”

Emperor Tianzhi laughed tiredly, shook his head and said: "You are called me easy to find, such as everyone is petitioning today, so that I can reward you as a good person!" But if I can't find you for a long time, and I can't give you a reward, won't I live up to the hearts of the people of the world! ”

"The courtiers don't dare. It is a sin for a courtier not to gather grain without permission. ”

"Eh, the merits outweigh the faults! And say, "Whatever reward you want, I will grant thee." ”

Emperor Tianzhi rubbed his chin and thought about it: "Why don't I forgive you the sin of the Marquis of Wuding?" Give your husband Qi Chengxu an official position and give you a fate? What do you think? ”
