Since that day, the atmosphere in the harem has become more and more dreary.

Shen Qu racked his brains and wanted to make everyone happy with Liuzi, but to no avail. Everyone seemed to be very happy in front of her, but when she was alone, Shen did listen to the palace people's report, either sitting in front of the window in a daze all day, or lying down without eating or drinking, and some even cried secretly......

"That's good." Shen was very worried, and asked Li Luansong to find a way.

Li Luansong didn't care, and glanced at her: "It's so strange now, do you only see them crying and sad in your eyes, why don't you look at my dark circles, I sleep in the imperial study every day, do you think I am better than them?" ”

How did this become her fault?

Shen was depressed.

However, something happened.

Cheng Yanyan's palace people came to report: "The lady of the Cheng family has been in bed for a few days, she has hardly eaten, and she has had a fever since this morning, and she is not awake anymore." ”

The little palace maid trembled with fright: "The lady doesn't let the slave tell the mother, for fear ......that the mother will be worried."

Shen Qu hurriedly took the imperial doctor to visit.

The doors and windows in the hall were closed, and Cheng Yanyan was lying on the bed with a pale face.

The palace maid said: "The lady doesn't let the window open, always saying that she is cold and afraid of the wind." ”

But it's summer now, and if you don't open the window, it won't be stuffy.

The doctor checked the pulse, Shen did get up and went to open the window in person, there were words written by Cheng Yanyan on the desk in front of the window, and the women of the scholarly family liked to use poetry and songs or calligraphy and painting to dispel the depression in their hearts when they were depressed.

Those words were really well written, Shen did look at them carefully, but found something unusual in the pile of written papers.

She glanced back at Cheng Yanyan, who was still unconscious, and then picked up the thick pile of paper and looked through them one by one, and after reading it, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes drifted to the flowers outside the window.

It turns out that she has someone in her heart, no wonder she has been depressed since she entered the palace.

"Imperial Doctor Jiang, you don't have to look at it." Shen Qu interrupted Imperial Physician Jiang, "I'm here, you can go down and get busy." ”

Imperial Physician Jiang was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the lady of the Cheng family who was unconscious, and did not ask questions, only saluted, and silently withdrew.

On that day, Cheng Yanyan didn't wake up, and Shen Qu didn't wake her up, just waited for her for a while, and then went back to the palace.

Before leaving, he told the little palace maid: "Good life takes care of Cheng Niangzi, if the lady is not feeling well, come to the palace, and do not go to the Tai Hospital to ask for a doctor without authorization." ”

The little palace maid said yes, saluting to send the queen away.

In the invisible place, Cheng Yanyan opened her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, did she see it?

The queen understands medicine, and she is so smart, she must be able to guess seven or eight points.

What should she do? It's better to be dead now.

After Shen Qu went back, he didn't come to see Cheng Yanyan again, he only cared about her food, clothing and daily life every day, and was relieved to find that she could eat as usual.

She was waiting for her to come and see her.

But Cheng Yanyan never moved, so Shen did invite her mother, I heard that the relationship between mother and daughter is very good, maybe the family can make her more comfortable.

Cheng Yanyan's mother stayed in the palace for three days, and the two were together day and night, which made Cheng Yanyan very surprised and moved, but she still didn't say anything.

The mother's advice is still in my ears: "This is your life, and it is also the future of the family, women, no less pressure than men, you have to cheer up." ”

Cheng Yanyan didn't speak, only silently in a daze, but the queen mother said that people should pursue their own lives......

After his mother left, Shen Qu finally waited for Cheng Yanyan.

The hall is burning incense, it is orange fragrance, and the sunset shines into the house, brilliant and warm.

Cheng Yanyan knelt in front of him and made a big salute to Shen Qu: "The courtiers are grateful for the kindness of the mother, and the courtiers are here today to confess to the mother." ”

She finally figured it out, finally trusted her, and was willing to tell her the truth.

Shen was very relieved and personally helped her up.

"If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." Shen did get straight to the point, and took away the palace people around him, leaving Zelan alone to serve, "Come here, sit down and say." ”

Cheng Yanyan thanked her, but her feet were very vain, Shen Qu helped her to sit in the circle chair, and asked people to add cushions.

"Mother knows it." Cheng Yanyan asked, with a pair of tearful eyes with apologies, "The courtier has made a big mistake, please have mercy." ”

"The father of the courtier's daughter has a student named Chu Yunzhi, and this person is now taking the merit test." Cheng Yanyan's speed of speech was very slow, "I fell in love with him at first sight, but my father and mother disliked his family for being poor, and even though he was full of talent, he did not allow me to combine the two, but I have ...... with him."

"It's him who says Yun Zhi on your desk." Shen asked.

Cheng Yanyan nodded, "Niangniang has seen it." ”

After speaking, she knelt down again, "The courtier is guilty, she shouldn't deceive Your Majesty and deceive the mother, but the courtier is really helpless." We had the same heart, but the family did not allow it, so I ....... with him, thinking that Mu had already made a boat to force my family to agree to the marriage between the two of us, but who knew that my father actually reported my eight characters to the palace without my knowledge, and it was too late when the holy decree was issued. ”

Cheng Yanyan cried: "Niangniang, the courtiers didn't mean to deceive Niangniang and Your Majesty. But the courtiers really have no love for His Majesty, he is my cousin, the cousin I have known since I was a child, and there is a lesson from Yang Zhi's past in front of her, the courtiers have no intention of entering the palace, but I can't control my own destiny......"

Shen did understand.

That day, she had seen this name written on almost every piece of paper in her room, and it must be the name of her sweetheart, otherwise she would not have missed it so day and night.

Moreover, when Yan Yan fell asleep, Shen did help her cover the quilt with the hand that put her outside and took her pulse back, and she understood everything at that time, she was already two months pregnant.

That's why Imperial Doctor Jiang was sent away so as not to embarrass her.

"Then how do you want me to help you?" Shen did help her up.

Cheng Yanyan was shocked: "Niangniang ......"

She didn't expect that Shen would think about helping her, she wanted to bear all the charges herself, and only asked to forgive her family and lover after death, but she didn't expect to be forgiven and helped.

"I'm also a woman, I know what it's like to be a person, you're not wrong, there are too many helplessness as a woman." Shen said, "You don't have to be afraid, you are also Your Majesty and my sister, and we will let you marry your sweetheart in style." ”

Cheng Yanyan was stunned: "Is it really possible, Niangniang......"

"If you believe me, take good care of your body and the child in your womb, and I will let you marry that Chu Xianggong as you wish, and get the approval of your father and family."

Cheng Yanyan cried with joy and kowtowed again and again to thank him.

Shen Qu comforted her a few more words before asking someone to send her back.

Zelan shook his head on the side and said: "What is Niangniang's plan, this group of bosses has caused you so much trouble, now it's okay, they don't care, Your Majesty doesn't care, it's all lost to Niangniang, this is already the second, I don't know what else can happen to others." ”

Shen did say no, "This is the second and the last, and if there is any other situation, leave it to Your Majesty to deal with, and it is not my harem." ”

Zelan said yes, Niangniang still has a lot of things to do, and recently the second lady has opened a lot of shops, urging Niangniang to take a look.

Before that, we have to hurry up and settle Cheng Yanyan's affairs.

The Lang Jun named Chu Yunzhi, Shen Cheng quickly inquired clearly, his family background is mediocre, not from a wealthy and noble background, but he is extremely smart and motivated, and he is kind and upright, he is a good little Lang Jun.

On this day, Shen did make an appointment to meet him.

Hearing everything from Shen Qu's mouth, Chu Yunzhi kept blaming himself: "It's all my fault, let Yanyan suffer, it's because I don't have the ability, I thought that he would definitely come to the door to propose marriage in the middle of the day, who wants to ......"

So he is still a sentient person, Shen Qu nodded and taught him a method.

"On that day, Your Majesty and I will pass by here in a carriage, and I have arranged for thieves, as long as you have the merit of escorting, you will be able to rise to the top, and Your Majesty will reward you......"

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chu Yunzhi, "The eldest husband can't do anything reluctantly, I understand the good intentions of the mother, but I can't be this kind of villain." ”

Shen said: "I know your intentions, I want to get ahead with my own skills and marry her justifiably, but can you wait, can she wait, can the child in her belly wait?" ”

Chu Yunzhi was stunned, and he had nothing more to say.

The young Lang Jun was high-spirited, but in the end, he had to bow his head for the marriage of Yan Yan and the two.

The so-called big husband can bend and stretch, Shen Cheng said: "I have talked to Your Majesty, I just want to give you and Yan Yan a justifiable reason, so I took this opportunity to reward, in the future, when you have to show your talents, I hope you will not live up to me and Your Majesty's trust in you, let alone Yan Yan." ”

Chu Yunzhi solemnly saluted and thanked him.

A few days later, there was a scene on the streets of the capital where a young man was guarding and desperately fighting, Li Luansong knew the inside story, and naturally made Cheng Yanyan the county lord and married Chu Yunzhi.

However, Chu Yunzhi did not accept the official position of the reward in the end, he said: "Xiaomin is grateful to Your Majesty, and is willing to reach the top with real talent and learning." ”

With ambition, Shen was very satisfied.

Sure enough, in the autumn exam a few months later, Chu Yunzhi won the second place on the list, and was successfully recognized by Li Luansong and the Cheng family.

Except for those old ministers who stood up against it, no one else said a word.

The old ministers only thought that His Majesty's concubine could marry someone else and still be pregnant with a child.

But this kind of thing can't be said, and it can only be silenced, as long as Your Majesty is not afraid of being discussed, what to do with me, it's just salty and eating radishes and worrying about it.

So, another one went.

Shen Qu said: "This is called the beauty of adults, but the concubines can't take care of things in the future, so as not to fall into the charge of jealousy, it's better for me to be busy with the business in my shop." ”

She got busy again and handed over the four little ladies to Li Luansong.
