"What's wrong, Master? Are you still unwilling to let the Emperor release you?" The maid next to Shen Qiangwei was new to the world and thought it was a good thing that the Emperor pardoned her master. How could she understand Shen Qiangwei's current mood
Shen Qiangwei also knew very well in her heart that when she went out this time, in the eyes of others, she was no longer a noble concubine. Even if it was such a false name, other women in the harem would definitely not Leave yourself some thin noodles like before.
After all, although they didn't know what happened, they, who had always been very favored by Shen Zhongbai, were suddenly grounded like this. In their eyes, it was a big joke, even if they didn't know the reason. , they will definitely feel that they are not that important to Shen Zhongbai.
If he goes out today, he doesn't know how many women he will meet who usually dislike him.
Shen Qiangwei can actually understand their feelings. After all, her own background is very different from theirs. Most of them are girls from aristocratic families, and the worst are from merchant families. In the palace, she is always the one to be ignored. The woman who was born in a brothel suppressed her. She was afraid that she had been dissatisfied for a long time. Taking advantage of such an opportunity, why not give herself a good show of strength
"It's okay. Help me freshen up a little. The emperor should be here after a while."
Shen Qiangwei said this not because she expected Shen Zhongbai to come over, but judging from the current situation, a large part of the relationship between the court and the court depends on the women in the harem. The more this happens, the more Shen Zhongbai will come over. The more important it is that Shen Qiangwei's status cannot be threatened.
Shen Qiangwei knew in her heart that as long as this incident did not involve her, and Shen Zhongbai didn't find anything wrong with Gu Qiang, he should still give herself enough face in front of other women, and Xiaohuan would only How can a servant understand what his master is thinking
She even didn't know why her master was grounded by the emperor, but she heard from Shen Qiangwei that the emperor would come over soon, and she was actually very happy in her heart. After all, if the emperor could come to the master's palace, the women in the harem could not say anything else. What's the matter? You know, if you don't have the emperor's favor in the palace, it's really difficult to move forward.
"Then this slave will go and prepare to freshen you up."
Shen Qiangwei knew that even if the man she sent to the palace could save his life, he would definitely not be able to come back. She didn't know what Shen Zhongbai would do with it, but since he didn't have any suspicion, Shen Zhongbai should It won't hurt his life, the most it will do is expel him from the palace.
These days, Shen Zhongbai has been superstitious about the warlocks in the palace. The pills made by these warlocks seem to have alleviated his condition. His spirit has indeed improved a lot, but those charlatan warlocks are liars. Those medicines I'm afraid that I can only stand up for a while, but not for a lifetime. Shen Qiangwei is not worried.
But there is one thing. Shen Zhongbai has been very superstitious recently. Perhaps because he has heard too much about karma recently, he has begun to wonder whether he killed too many people before, so he became like this now. He has also been killing people recently. Less and less,
But Shen Qiangwei had just ordered Xiao Huan, but she immediately regretted it, "Forget it, help me freshen up, I want to go out."
Shen Qiangwei has not left her bedroom for many days, and she is not in a good mood now, so she is really not suitable to face Shen Zhongbai.
.
Eh? Xiaohuan looked surprised. Didn't the master just say that the emperor should be here soon? Why go out at this time
"Master, didn't you just say that the emperor will be here soon? If you go out at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of time if the emperor comes later?"
"Don't worry about it now, I'm going out now."
Shen Qiangwei knew very well that in order to take care of her own face, Shen Zhongbai should come over soon after giving the order, but her mood is not as calm as before. Seeing Shen Zhongbai at this time is indeed not a good choice. .
Although Xiao Huan didn't quite understand, she still prepared all the things for washing, and simply helped Shen Qiangwei pick out some clothes, and followed her out the door. Although Shen Qiangwei didn't know where she should go now, He also understood that since Shen Zhongbai hadn't gone to his palace yet, he should avoid those women. It was best not to see them, lest he would be emotionally unstable and make himself angry again.
"Find a secluded place, go to the Royal Garden."
Shen Qiangwei's prediction was indeed correct. It didn't take long for Shen Zhongbai to bring someone over. Originally, Shen Qiangwei was also a noble concubine. With her own efforts, she could help Shen Zhongbai deal with many troubles in the harem. Shen Zhongbai also knew that, With Shen Qiangwei here, I have a lot less worries.
But this time, he did gain her face by grounding her before investigating clearly. Shen Qiangwei had helped him deal with a lot of things before. Now those women are afraid that they will start to retaliate again, and they will inevitably deal with her. She spoke coldly,
He also wanted to save some face for Shen Qiangwei, so he chose to come to her immediately after telling her that the grounding was lifted. However, he did not expect that he missed her and did not see anyone there at all.
"Where is the imperial concubine?"
"Returning to the emperor, the imperial concubine has just left."
Hearing the news that Shen Qiangwei had just gone out, Shen Zhongbai couldn't help but frown. To be honest, this woman went out in a hurry as soon as the confinement was lifted. It was indeed a bit disrespectful to him, and he didn't seem to have locked her up for long. Time, is she so impatient
"Did the imperial concubine explain where she went when she left? When will she come back?" No matter what, the purpose of my visit today cannot be changed. The purpose of coming here is to give a little deterrence to the women in the harem and make them You know, even if Shen Qiangwei is imprisoned, her status will always be more important than theirs.
It’s not that Shen Zhongbai has not been close to women for so many years, it’s just that he really doesn’t like the vulgar fans in the harem. Besides, every woman in the harem approaches him not with a purpose, but just for the sake of it. They are just fighting for favor in the harem and fighting for a seat in the court for their mother's family.
A group of women who have never met each other start talking about how much they love them. I really can't imagine it.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty left in a hurry and didn't give us any orders. She just took Xiao Huan out with her. I think she just took a walk around the area. She should be back soon."
The palace maid did not dare to speak too harshly. After all, Shen Qiangwei did not explain anything when she left. How could she dare to talk casually
Shen Zhongbai didn't want to go in vain. In that case, he would just wait for her in the room.
Shen Qiangwei originally just wanted to go out for a walk today, but she didn't expect that she would meet someone she didn't want to meet when she went out. The daughter of the Jiangzhou prefect was still as annoying as ever. Even now, Shen Qiangwei still remembers How did she behave when she was embarrassing Gu Qiang
Even now, she still doesn't have a long memory. After all, the governor of Jiangzhou is also a high official in the court. If Shen Zhongbai doesn't have any big problems, he will not blame the governor of Jiangzhou. Shen Qiangwei He also understands it very well, so when there is no unexpected situation, he will try his best not to have any conflict with Yu Linglong? But this matter happened not because he wanted to embarrass her, but because she had been having trouble with herself. There were many people in the palace who disliked her, but she was the only one who behaved so blatantly. It's as if if she didn't sit in the position of this noble concubine, this position would belong to her.
"Who am I supposed to be? Isn't this the imperial concubine? Why is it that the emperor's ban has been lifted, and the imperial concubine is going out like this as if nothing has happened?" Shen Qiangwei originally didn't want to hide from her, but she didn't expect that even if it was herself He wanted to hide away, but he didn't think so. He just rushed forward to make things difficult for him.
"The people in the harem are becoming more and more unruly, right? A mere concubine dares to talk to a noble concubine like this?" Shen Qiangwei did not want to save any face for Yu Linglong, not to mention, this time it was She came to the door on her own initiative. She never thought of embarrassing her. All kinds of troubles happened in the palace. As long as they related to her, she took the initiative to provoke others. She did it before because she spoke. She has been punished for doing things, but that can be regarded as purging the harem. If she knew how to manage herself well, she would not be punished.
I thought that this Zhizhou's daughter still hated me, but I expected that she would say such things, but I didn't expect that I would meet her just after finishing the confinement. It was really unlucky.
"Isn't it true that the imperial concubine made a mistake? She has already been punished, but she is still so ignorant and speaks so sharply. She will still be punished by the emperor in the future."
"It's not my sister who has the final say whether I will be punished or not, right? Why is the governor of Jiangzhou so brave and my sister so brave?" Shen Qiangwei has always been by Shen Zhongbai's side, and Shen Zhongbai also knows that Shen Qiangwei has no background, so When talking, he often mentioned the Jiangzhou magistrate. It was under Shen Zhongbai's instructions that Shen Qiangwei would specifically increase the punishment on her on several occasions to let her correct her status in the harem.
