Fu Lin hurriedly said: "No, no, how can that be done? I am reluctant to send you to death! Okay, but what about this merit? Since they are so ruthless and ruthless, it is enough to offset the merits, and we think slowly, we can always make them do their best. ”

Shen Shiyun had a plan in his heart, and he took retreat as advance, which led to Fulin's question, which was expected, and he said at the moment: "If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." The concubine has an idea, you said that the Shadow Sacrifice Sect had contributed to the siege of the city, so make a fuss about it. Imagine that they have hurt nature and reason, and have done all kinds of evil, as if they have been old for many years, but how can they suddenly have good intentions now? That must be another plan, first using the Qing army to eradicate the old enemy, not a single soldier of their own side, recuperating their strength, and then rebelling against the dynasty and usurping the throne, their hearts can be punished. In this way, to list them as a chaotic party and send troops to exterminate them can also be called 'prevention before it happens'. Anyway, the Demon Sect is notorious in the martial arts, and this punishment will not only not be criticized, but will remove a great harm for the Central Plains, and it will be able to win the hearts and minds of the people, and everyone will be one. ”

Fu Lin hesitated for a while before he said, "Okay, as long as I can avenge you, I will rely on it." Shen Shiyun said: "The emperor must accept this statement from the bottom of his heart, not for the sake of his concubines." Fu Lin was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "What is the reason for that?" suddenly he knew that she was trying to free herself from guilt, so that she was grateful, and she loved her even more.

The next day, Shen Shiyun began to learn the rules, and Mama explained her words, walking, and greetings one by one, and informed her of the titles and jurisdictions of the high-ranking and powerful characters in the palace. This grandmother was originally Fulin's wet nurse, and now she is training show girls. Love the house and Wu, and love Shen Shiyun very much, he teaches hard, Shen Shiyun is smart and clever, and he learned well in a few days.

At night, he accompanied Fu Lin to review and read the folds, and only mentioned the points from the side at first, but his exquisite insights emerged one after another, so that Fu Lin often had a feeling of opening up, as if a new world of national politics had opened up in front of him, so he transferred half of them directly to her, and the two were happy, but they were really like an ordinary couple as warm and harmonious.

This day came to the appointed period, Shen Shiyun went to Cining Palace with her grandmother, and when she first entered the hall, she felt that the light was dim, the atmosphere was strict, and the queen mother was sitting in danger, and her face was very dignified. Shen Shiyun stepped forward and saluted, and the Queen Mother said lightly: "Have you learned the rules?" Shen Shiyun didn't have time to answer, and Mama had already preemptively said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Concubine Yun Niangniang learns very quickly, and it is very different from this group of show girls." The Queen Mother frowned and said: "The mourning family is asking her not you, why do you talk so much?" Concubine Yun, you take a few steps first and let the mourning family take a look." ”

Shen Shiyun said: "Yes." After pacing a few square steps in the hall according to the instructions of the grandmother, the queen mother waved her hand and said, "Enough." Is it true that Fang Xue has been studying recently? It seems that he has come prepared for early practice. Shen Shiyun thought to himself that if I didn't go well, I would grab the handle for you, and secretly sneered, but on the surface, he was still respectful, and replied: "The Queen Mother's orders dare not be disobeyed, in order to be worthy of the emperor, it is to study and practice hard every day with the concubines, hoping to make a little appearance." You say this, it is the greatest affirmation of the concubine, and the Empress Dowager Xie praised it. ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "You are like this, just use it to deceive the emperor, in front of the mourning family, it is better to put it away as soon as possible." Let me ask you, what is your intention in marrying the emperor?"

Shen Shiyun said in his heart: "It's you who want to talk stiffly, when I am a good bully, I can look away." I remembered that I had heard that the Queen Mother was in love with Dolgon when she was young, and then she was forced to marry Huang Taiji and was named Concubine Zhuang, and since then it is still unresolved, and the real cause of Huang Taiji's death has yet to be determined. Raised his eyebrows lightly and said: "If the concubine says that it is to love the emperor, you must not believe it." ”

The Queen Mother didn't answer, and snorted coldly. Shen Shiyun said: "The relationship between the palace and the palace is already delicate, and making friends is nothing more than climbing the ladder for each other, fighting for power, taking what they need, and everyone knows it." If you want to dig deeper, the Queen Mother, you sit in today's seat and ask yourself, have you never done anything wrong?"

The Queen Mother had already understood what she was referring to, her face was pale, and she said angrily: "Bold, who taught you these nonsense?" Shen Shiyun said: "Is it nonsense, I believe that Tianli has its own public opinion, and the concubines dare not speak falsely here." But if you are troubled by people with hearts every day, and you are not very bold, how can you gain a foothold in the deep palace?" The Queen Mother had never been ridiculed like this, and said angrily: "Come on!

Shen Shiyun said leisurely: "You have to think clearly, it doesn't matter if you swell my face, but if you see it to the emperor, won't it hurt your mother and son?" The Queen Mother sneered: "Okay, you have reminded the mourning family." Stick waiting, give the mourner a heavy beating, beware of not touching her face!"

Shen Shiyun looked directly at the Queen Mother, suddenly felt a pain in the bend of his knees, and received a heavy blow on his back at the same time, he couldn't help but weaken his legs, fell to his knees, and the stick immediately fell like raindrops, Shen Shiyun bit his lip out of blood, and insisted on begging for mercy. But she was originally the pearl of her father's palm in the palm of her hand, and everyone in the Agarwood Courtyard also took great care of her. Mama stood aside and couldn't stop her, and she closed her eyes and couldn't bear to look more.

Shen Shiyun was dying for a moment, and then he heard the Queen Mother say in a trance: "Stop, Concubine Yun, this is still a mourning family in front of the emperor, the punishment is light, and you have to control your mouth in the palace." A few days later, as the imperial concubine, you should attend, don't miss the time. ”

Shen Shiyun gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, concubine...... Know. "I wanted to stand up, but I was weak and couldn't move. Mama stepped forward to help her up, walked out of Cining Palace with her in her arms, walked out of the road silently, and sighed: "Concubine Yun, why are you so hard? In order to fight for a breath, to talk back to the Queen Mother, isn't it you who suffers?"

Shen Shiyun sneered: "She just wants to give me a dismount, if I give in, I will never come out from now on." Fighting ruthlessly, I am accompanied, I want to get rid of me, but it is a dream!" Seeing that Mama was submissive, her expression was very afraid, and she said gently: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, and I won't be as impulsive as Fang Cai anymore." Don't tell the emperor about today's events. Can you tell me about the new showgirl?"

Mama sighed and briefly talked about the recent performance and family background of the show girls. Another special mention is made of a person named Yehena Laluo Jin, who is the little niece of a concubine of Huang Taiji, who is not only very beautiful, but also very clever, and thinks that he will have a great job in the future. Shen Shiyun listened curiously and said, "I want to go and see her." Mama persuaded: "Niangniang has injuries on her body, and she urgently needs to recuperate on the couch, and it is not too late to see it during the election." ”

Shen Shiyun sneered: "Why, she is a person who has not yet established a firm foothold, what kind of climate can she become at the moment, and what is there to be afraid of? ”

Mama couldn't resist her, so she had to take her to the side hall where the show girl lived. Because of the absence of the steward, the beautiful women either have cable mirrors and dressers, or some close their eyes to recuperate. When they saw Shen Shiyun, they all hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and his attitude was extremely respectful, because he knew that if he flattered this Concubine Yun, the good thing was half successful, and someone offered a luxurious gift. Shen Shiyun was disdainful in her heart, and said to her grandmother: "I don't know who Luo Jin is?"

Mama looked around and said, "Huiyun Concubine Niangniang, Luo Jin is not among them." Then he asked a show girl, "Where did Miss Jin go?" The show girl heard her ask about Luo Jin, and sneered: "She, she is confident, and she has gone out to enjoy the flowers." ”

Another show girl sneered: "I see that she has a bit of a posture by herself, most of them because she wants to meet the emperor unexpectedly among the flowers and fall in love at first sight." Bah, I think which green onion I am, if I want to say that I am favored, how can I be worthy of our Concubine Yun! She dared to put on a stand and not come to visit, it is simply unreasonable!" These words imply to show favor to Shen Shiyun. Shen Shiyun saw that this group of beautiful women were reckless and could not be a big deal in the future, so she ignored it, and went out of the hall first, and Mama told a few words of "don't slack off", and quickly followed.

Walking out of a short distance, to a small garden, I saw a girl standing alone in the flowers, just look at her back, slender and lovely, the posture is a little more elegant, it is not a thing in the pool. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around slowly, with a haughty smile on his face. She is young, her face is slightly immature, and her makeup is very thick, which is charming.

Mama called: "Miss Jin, don't come over quickly!" Luo Jin smiled slightly, approached lightly, waved the handkerchief in his hand, pinned a red flower picked on the tip of Shen Shiyun's hair, clapped his hands and smiled: "This is very beautiful, isn't it?" Mama smiled: "Nonsense." Shen Shiyun said coldly: "Such grandstanding may not work." Why don't you learn from others to be courteous to this palace?" Luo Jin said: "If Concubine Yun wants to see me, she will come to find me, as for whether to see me or not, it depends on me, and sovereignty is also mine." If you don't want to see me, what's the use of me leaning over and stammering?"

Shen Shiyun said: "Do you want to be unique, do you want to be tricky, you can make the emperor tempted? This palace tells you, it's not so easy, the emperor hates flashy women the most, even if he ......is favored for a while, Luo Jin smiled: "When do I want to be a concubine? Isn't that uncomfortable? Being able to follow a favored master is far more advantageous than being a queen who has been beaten into the cold palace." ”

Although Shen Shiyun listened to her comparison, it was not unreasonable, and finally added a little attention to her, and muttered: "Well, it's a little interesting, go on." Mama was so shocked that she hurriedly dissuaded: "At a young age, you are not afraid of the nine clans of Zhulian, and you are not afraid of the nine clans?" Luo Jin made a grimace and said with a smile: "The next words are confidential, please come to my room to discuss it." ”

Mama said: "This can't be helped. Concubine Yun, you have just been ......beaten by the Queen Mother," Shen Shiyun said: "You still go to Haosheng to take care of those show girls, this palace has its own measure." With a word, he sealed her and followed Luo Jin away. Seeing that although she lived in an ordinary show girl's room, the decoration was all extravagant, and she thought that she had used the power of her family to deliberately open up the links to take care of her.

sat down at will, only to hear Luo Jin continue: "There is a battle in the palace in the open and secret, and the fight is endless. The ministers of the court fight, and the concubines in the harem also fight, so they hate it, so why do they need to push themselves to the forefront? People who are really talented and hard-working should retreat to the masterminds behind the scenes, and use others as pawns, and they will be named, and we will hold real power. Concubine Yun, it's better for me to follow you in the future, let's cooperate with the two of us, not to mention a small harem, it's really in the world!"

Shen Shiyun raised his eyebrows and said: "You said a lot, it's all boasting, how can you prove it?" Luo Jin said: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people over time." Now I heard that my mother was beaten, and I have some 'bruise ointment' here, so I'll give you some first. Shen Shiyun smiled: "Why do you bring this medicine with you?" Luo Jin smiled: "I am very bad, if I make a mistake and get beaten, then I will be prepared." ”

Shen Shiyun said: "You have waited so much, will you still be beaten?" Luo Jin smiled: "Niangniang is even better, isn't it an ordinary beating?" Shen Shiyun sighed: "That's the carelessness of the palace, or not, I'll write down this account for the time being." One day, I'll ask her to pay back more!"
