Chapter 189: I didn't see the Queen Mother

Situ Ling'er saw Shen Yanshu's face, her eyes paused slightly, wasn't this the assassin who broke into the forbidden land a few days ago? How could she be the future Princess Ling?

Compared to her surprised reaction, Shen Yanshu's expression was as usual, her eyes just swept in front of Concubine Ling, and then followed Yan Qinghan to the seat of the imperial gift, ignoring Concubine Ling's reaction.

Maybe Concubine Ling always doesn't attract attention on weekdays, but no one notices her distraction, but soon, she felt that something was wrong, flashed her eyes, and lowered her eyes to hide her gaffe.

The emperor sitting on the main seat looked at Yan Qinghan and Shen Yanshu, but he smiled rarely.

"No wonder Qinghan insisted on asking for marriage at that time, it seems that you are really a beautiful couple. ”

"Who's to say it's not!" Concubine Shu chimed in, "Look at the way these two people stand together, it's really a match made in heaven." ”

The other two concubines nodded yes one after another, but this pair of prospective newcomers is too eye-catching, and people can't take their eyes off it at all.

There are many good-looking women in the palace, but Shen Yanshu's appearance is not only outstanding, but her temperament is also one in a million.

The emperor said to Yan Qinghan: "In the future, Shen Yatou will be your princess, you have to treat her well, Shen Taichang and Shen Shangshu raised this girl so well, naturally she is reluctant to suffer the slightest grievance." ”

Yan Qinghan bowed his head: "The sons and daughters remember the teachings of their father. ”

"Today, I just took Shen Yatou to recognize the people who will be common in the palace in the future, but there is no need to be restrained, the main thing is to give you more opportunities to meet. The emperor said kindly, if Shen Yanshu didn't know his true face, he would really think that he was a benevolent and good emperor!

She lowered her eyes and said, "The courtiers are provincial." ”

"Do you still call yourself a courtier?" said the emperor.

Shen Yan paused slightly, and then said, "Erchen knows." ”

The emperor looked at Shen Yanshu so detached, but he looked like the woman who was locked up in the forbidden place, and the coldness in his tone could be felt as soon as he heard it.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Yanshu, but this face was very different from Jiang Yanzhi, and it was still a little similar to Shen Kangzhi, didn't he think too much?

Concubine Shu stopped when she saw the emperor's words, and then answered: "There are a lot of concubines in this harem, but if you need to recognize them, there are only a few of us." Bengong and Yan Shu have intersected a few times, so they are naturally familiar with each other, and the other three Yan Shu still need to recognize it. ”

As Concubine Shu made a look, a grandmother stepped forward to introduce them one by one.

"This is Concubine Chen. The grandmother greeted Concubine Chen, who was sitting next to Concubine Shu, with her hand and introduced Shen Yanshu.

Shen Yanshu got up from his position and stepped forward and saluted: "Concubine Chen." ”

Concubine Chen is the biological mother of King An, the first woman to marry the emperor, her personality is a little perverse, and there is no noble mother family behind her, so she and King An are not too favored, but no one dares to mess with them.

Mama continued: "This is Concubine Li. ”

Shen Yanshu walked in front of Concubine Li again: "Concubine Liniang." ”

Finally, he silently came to the front of Concubine Ling and introduced: "This is Concubine Ling's mother." ”

Shen Yanshu looked at Concubine Ling, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she saluted slightly, raised her head, looked at Concubine Ling and said, "Concubine Ling." ”

Concubine Ling said: "King Ling really has a good eye. ”

"It's rare for Concubine Ling to open her mouth to praise people. The emperor looked at Concubine Ling, but he was a little surprised.

Everyone's eyes looked at Concubine Ling, she rarely spoke, and rarely went to the palace banquet, at the beginning she also found an excuse to shirk a little, and then she just didn't go, and the others knew her temperament.

Concubine Ling said: "It's just a feeling." ”

The emperor looked at Concubine Ling and pursed his lips speechlessly.

She has always been a non-fighting character, I remember that when I first arrived at the palace, I would occasionally laugh, but after her biological mother died, she had no smile at all.

Concubine Shu teased: "Concubine Ling should meet these juniors more, maybe she can change her temperament." ”

Concubine Ling said: "I have always liked to be quiet, but I'm afraid my sister can't do what she said." ”

Shen Yanshu chuckled and said, "I think I have a good relationship with Concubine Ling. ”

Concubine Ling lowered her eyes and fell silent.

Yan Qinghan looked at Shen Yanshu and Concubine Ling's demeanor when they spoke, as if they always felt that it was not the first time they had met, and it seemed that they were hiding some secrets from each other.

This Concubine Ling has never liked to socialize with people, even if he grew up in the palace, he rarely saw Concubine Ling, how could Shen Yanshu have anything to do with her?

The emperor said: "In addition to them, you should also go to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is not in good health, and she doesn't like to be disturbed, but it is still necessary to go and salute." ”

The queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, the feelings are not deep, but she maintains the relationship between mother and son on the surface, the general's mansion in Zhenbei was destroyed, the queen mother and the emperor also tore their faces, and the queen mother reasoned with the Buddha all day long, and she had long since ignored the affairs of the harem.

The emperor was busy with government affairs, and he didn't sit long before returning to the imperial study, leaving Shen Yanshu and the concubine with a few words, Shen Yanshu was a cold person, not much to say, and after a while, he found an excuse to go to the queen mother.

Although the place of the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace is not remote, when Shen Yanshu walked along the path, he felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet, and when he finally walked to the Shou'an Palace, he also smelled a faint smell of burning incense and the sound of thin wooden fish.

When they came to Shou'an Palace, a palace maid trotted forward to explain, saying that the Queen Mother was reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and if they didn't have anything important, they could be exempted from this ceremony.

Shen Yanshu asked Qing Kite to hand over a Buddhist scripture and asked the palace maid to hand it over to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother loves the Buddha in the past day, and the Buddhist scriptures are naturally to her liking, the palace maid glanced at Shen Yanshu, then turned around and went back to the courtyard to hand over the things to the grandmother beside the queen mother.

didn't see the Queen Mother, Shen Yanshu's mood was naturally a little lonely.

The Queen Mother is Jiang Ao's aunt, and she also came out of the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, so she is naturally very good to Jiang Aunt, but the emperor ascended the throne, and the Jiang family has not much status.

The two of them walked back, Yan Qinghan looked at the look of loss between Shen Yanshu's eyebrows and eyes, and asked, "Do you want to see the imperial grandmother?"

Shen Yanshu raised his eyes to look at him, shook his head and said, "No." I just think that after the Queen Mother is a country, her life is too simple, and she is in the harem, but she is a green Buddha every day, it should be very boring, right?"

Yan Qinghan said: "Since the death of the imperial grandfather, the spirit of the imperial grandmother is not as good as before, and later the Jiang family moved to Chang'an, and there are fewer people to talk to, and the princess of Zhaojun will occasionally come over to accompany her, so she will naturally be happy." ”

Shen Yanshu's eyes rolled slightly, and he sighed lightly, but he couldn't say a word.

If the Queen Mother knew that her beloved niece was under house arrest in the palace, I don't know what she would do? But with the power of the Queen Mother, it was really difficult to compete with the emperor.

They walked out in the direction of leaving the palace, but a little palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"See His Royal Highness King Ling, I have seen Miss Shen. The slave maid is the palace maid in Concubine Ling's palace, and Concubine Ling said that she was familiar with Miss Shen at first sight, and wanted to talk to Miss Shen, hoping that Miss Shen would appreciate her face. ”

Shen Yanshu paused, and turned his head to look at Yan Qinghan.

If Shen Yanshu didn't want to go, she would definitely open her mouth to refuse, but she looked at herself and made up her mind, Yan Qinghan knew what she was thinking.

"Since Concubine Ling is invited, let's go together. Yan Qing said coldly.

Shen Yanshu nodded, and followed the palace maid towards Concubine Ling's palace.

Concubine Ling wanted to see herself at this time, didn't she want to ask about Huangtingzhou? Shen Yanshu thought about it in his heart, if Concubine Ling was willing to help her, maybe things would be much simpler.

When the two arrived at Concubine Ling's palace, another palace maid stepped forward and said, "Lord, Niangniang said that she just wanted to say a few thoughtful words to Miss Shen, and asked Her Royal Highness to wait in the front hall. ”

"Nothing. Yan Qinghan coughed lightly.

Shen Yanshu followed the palace maid to the inner room, and when she arrived at the front of the inner room, the palace maid bowed to Concubine Ling and retreated.

Concubine Ling was drawing at the desk at this time, and when she heard their voices, she put the pen in her hand aside and looked up at Shen Yanshu.

"I've seen Concubine Ling. Shen Yanshu saluted.

Concubine Ling said, "We have indeed met. ”

She walked out of it and motioned for Shen Yanshu to sit down in a seat on the side, and she stepped forward to pour Shen Yanshu a cup of tea. ”

Shen Yanshu saw that her skillful appearance was indeed like this, but she didn't bother anymore.

She looked at Concubine Ling and asked, "I don't know why Niangniang asked me to come here?"

Concubine Ling said: "I thought you were just a maid that day, but I didn't expect that this Zhun Ling Princess was still an assassin who broke into the forbidden land. ”

Hearing her say this, Shen Yanshu was not surprised, but said, "No one else would have thought that Concubine Ling would actually help me, an assassin, escape." ”

She was not afraid that Concubine Ling would tell her about her trespassing on the forbidden land, because Concubine Ling had helped her escape that day, and if it was revealed, Concubine Ling would not be able to escape the blame.

Concubine Ling hooked her lips, but her eyes softened.

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Concubine Ling said, "You told me that day that Huang Tingzhou has never been married, why?"

"Niangniang asked why I told you about it, or why didn't he get married?" Shen Yanshu stared at her and asked.

Concubine Ling has a pair of very beautiful Danfeng eyes, which can obviously seduce people, but she only sees endless coldness in her eyes, and finally there is a trace of waves, I don't know if the ripples in her heart are in her eyes.

She said: "As an old friend, I just want to know how he is doing. ”

Shen Yanshu said: "I think that since we have withdrawn from each other's lives, if we inquire about this again, it is tantamount to asking for trouble." I lost my words that day, I shouldn't have talked about it with my mother, even if my mother knew, what could I do?"

Concubine Ling didn't expect Shen Yanshu to refuse, she asked, "He's not doing well?"
