The hidden guards of Fengyi Palace are all female guards, and the leader is code-named Thirteen, a taciturn woman. The appearance is very inconspicuous, but the strength is very good.
—In the absence of Concubine Shen Gui.
After being summoned by the emperor, she quickly left the piano courtyard and sneaked into the emperor's room without making a sound.
"Dark Guard Thirteen, see Your Majesty."
The cold female voice could freeze people into ice, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't care about it now, and asked directly: "Concubine Shen Gui and the Empress are very close recently?"
The Thirteenth Dark Guard was silent for a moment.
Should she pretend she doesn't know, or tell a lie, or keep silent
If she told His Majesty the truth, would she be beaten by the imperial concubine
Since ancient times, life and loyalty cannot have both. Thirteen mourned his miserable life, but chose to tell the truth. Of course, in order not to make His Majesty faint from anger, she blurred out some too intimate details and talked about it lightly.
But even so, His Majesty the Emperor was quite angry.
Could it be... There is a custom of women and women in the Western Regions? !
I knew that he would never let Shen Yuqing approach the queen no matter what!
As mentioned earlier, the relationship between the emperor and the empress is very strange. Although they are not husband and wife, they are very close, and their trust in each other is deeper than anything else. But the two of them are just ordinary cousins on the surface, and they haven't even seen each other a few times since they were young. There is obviously something wrong with their relationship being so good.
There is a secret involved here. Once this secret is exposed, many people will be implicated.
"Yan Jun is my younger brother." Empress Fu said softly.
Shen Yuqing took her to the top of a deserted mountain to blow the night breeze and watch the stars. Not to mention people, there was not a single cat around. Empress Fu didn't know why, but she suddenly wanted to tell Shen Yuqing about the secret they had kept for so many years.
Some things are very uncomfortable to keep in my heart, after all, people have the desire to talk.
She looked up at the moon in the sky half covered by dark clouds: "About fourteen years ago..."
fourteen years ago.
Fu Qiushui was ten years old, and Fu Yanjun was six years old. His parents died early, and Fu Yanjun was basically brought up by his sister.
As children of the Fu family, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, their lives are actually not that good. After all, he was just a child from a side branch. There had never been any talented people in the imperial examinations in his family, and he had no extraordinary abilities. From generation to generation, their blood relationship with other members of the Fu family has become weaker and weaker, and they have basically become little transparent in the Fu family.
When Fu Yanjun was born, his mother died of a serious illness because of confinement failure. In order to treat her illness, the family became impoverished. The Fu family didn't provide much help, because they lived too far away to attract the attention of the Fu family.
Since their grandfather, their family has had to farm for a living. As a result of this accident, the fields were sold. Without the fields, Fu's father could not continue farming to support the family. As a last resort, I had to go out to do long-term work for others, but within a few years, I died in an accident. The family gave some money as compensation, so the siblings did not starve to death.
Fu's father's house is very remote, and he doesn't have much contact with the Fu family. After the accident, he even ignored them, for fear that the siblings would pester them. Fu Qiushui had no choice but to find some work by himself.
But, she is only ten years old, which family will find her to work? Unless it is sold to a rich family as a slave.
As a last resort, Fu Qiushui could only do some needlework to earn hard money, and by the way, look around to see which one is willing to take her.
After searching for more than half a year, I found nothing.
Then one day, two people suddenly came to the host's house and said that they would give them a good life, but there was one condition, they had to be obedient.
No matter how bad it was, it couldn't be worse, life would be hard anyway, Fu Qiushui looked at his skinny little brother and agreed to their terms. So Fu Yanjun was sent to the palace, pretending to be the crown prince who had died of illness, while Fu Qiushui became the only daughter of the grand master of the Fu family.
The old man of the Fu family actually has no children, not even a wife. He was obsessed with painting and calligraphy all his life, and he had no intention of finding a woman at all, and he rejected all the noble women his family chose for him.
Fu Qiushui came back to Master Fu's house as an illegitimate daughter, and she claimed to the outside world that she was a child born to the grand master when he was traveling abroad in his early years. The child's biological mother had just died of illness, so she sent her lonely daughter to the Fu family. Originally, she didn't want to trouble the Fu family, fearing that her daughter would be bullied if she went to the Fu family.
In order not to show any flaws, the Fu family made a lot of preparations secretly, erasing all clues to ensure that no one can find out about the siblings.
But they didn't enter the palace and Fu's house from the very beginning. Fu Yanjun first learned etiquette in a Zhuangzi of Fu's house, while Fu Qiushui needed nourishment. She was too thin, and it took more than two months before she was sent to Fu's house. Although she still looked thin, she was much better, unlike before, as if she hadn't had enough to eat since she was a child.
But Fu Yanjun didn't need to mend it, because the prince had already been sick and thin, no different from Fu Yanjun.
After the "Prince" recovered, Fu Yanjun pretended to have "amnesia" with the help of the queen and others, and the imperial physician diagnosed that his head had burned out. This surprised the women in the palace and the adult princes outside the palace who were planning to compete for the throne.
The queen is actually a successor, but successively did not have children. The subsequent prince was very favored, but there were a bunch of grown-up elder brothers on top of his head, and the fight for the heir apparent had already entered a fever pitch. The little prince was a thorn in the side of everyone, and this time his death was at the hands of other princes.
But now the false prince has lost his memory and has become extremely stupid. Except for etiquette, he has forgotten all the four books and five classics he learned before. Although the six-year-old hadn't learned much at first, who knows if he lost his memory this time, whether he only lost his memory, or burned his brain together
The queen is a very wise woman. Before that, she told her son to hide his clumsiness every day before, so that his intelligence must not be discovered by others. It's a pity that the son himself was unbearable, and he was willing to hide when he was provoked, so he lost his life in the end.
The newcomer, Fu Yanjun, is very obedient and also very smart. But maybe because of the problems he encountered when he was a child, he was much more mature than the original prince, and he cooperated with the queen to deceive everyone, even making his father and brothers think that he had really become a "fool".
The foolish prince grew up safely, and after his elder brothers fought to the death, he slowly "became smarter" and became the former emperor's most beloved son again. However, the "excessive indulgence" of the former emperor passed away suddenly, and the prince succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen. After that, it may not be without the Fu family's handwriting.
On the other hand, although Fu Qiushui was looked down upon in the Fu family at first, thinking that she was a pheasant who fell into the Phoenix pile, her material level improved rapidly, which was enough for Fu Qiushui to feel at ease. The slander and sarcasm of outsiders are like floating clouds to her, as long as her younger brother is a good prince in the palace, no one will dare to provoke her in this life.
At first Fu Qiushui didn't bother to talk to them and let the other party mock them. Later, I got annoyed and tentatively complained to the Patriarch of the Fu family. Since then, I have never met anyone who is not open-eyed.
She is the eldest daughter of the Fu family, with a noble status that no one can compare to.
Later, when the prince succeeded to the throne, he needed to choose a queen. Regardless of everyone's objections, he took his sister into the palace, but he was just worried that her life would be bad if she was not under his nose.
Moreover, his beloved woman married someone else, and he didn't want to marry those messy people.
"I was taken aback at first." Fu Qiushui smiled helplessly, "I thought Mr. Yan didn't remember me, he really wanted to marry me, and then tied the Fu family to his boat."
Before the wedding night in the bridal chamber, Fu Qiushui nervously thought of more than a dozen plans, how to tell his younger brother about those old secrets, what if his younger brother doesn't believe it
Fu Qiushui, who was very worried that he would mess up with his younger brother, couldn't sleep well the nights before entering the palace.
- Hearing this, the imperial concubine said very unkindly: "Pfft!"
Fu Qiushui reached out and twisted her waist, a little annoyed: "Don't laugh!"
Shen Yuqing immediately suppressed her laugh, with a cute expression on her face.
"During the bridal chamber, he lifted his hijab. I was so nervous that I didn't know where to start. Suddenly I heard him push back the palace man and call my sister."
At that time, Fu Qiushui was in a daze, thinking that the emperor insisted on marrying her even though he knew she was his own sister, because he didn't know who would play incest if he learned badly from him. At that time, the emperor was pushed away, and the whole room began to look for a broom to spank his brother.
Then he was stopped by His Majesty the Emperor who couldn't laugh or cry, and he explained it for a long time before he realized that it was all a misunderstanding.
"He didn't know where he heard about me being pointed at by others. He was so angry that he even quarreled with the queen mother. He felt that the Fu family didn't take good care of me." Fu Qiushui smiled very nicely, as if someone had finally The mother who saw her son grew up and believed in loving his mother said, "The queen mother was so troubled by him that her head hurt, so she agreed to let him marry me."
Shen Yuqing always felt that something was wrong: "...he didn't make such a fuss on purpose, just to get the Queen Mother to agree to the marriage, right?"
Fu Qiushui nodded helplessly: "He liked to play tricks like this when he was young, but now that he's grown up, he's much calmer."
Very good, a scheming boy.
After all, he was raised by Fu Qiushui, so he just followed his sister.
Miss Qiushui with sesame stuffing deliberately let almost everyone speak ill of her, and then took a thick booklet to sue.
The general situation is this:
The eldest lady has just returned to Fu's house, and she was bored during her tonic in Biezhuang two months ago, so she learned to write and recognize characters by the way. After returning to Fu's house, she found that everyone said she was a pheasant, so she was upset.
The unhappy eldest lady wrote down who said what in a small notebook, one is to settle accounts in the future, and the other is to practice calligraphy and recognize people by the way. After she had identified most of the Fu family by collecting who said bad things about her, she went to the head of the family with her thick little book.
The head of the family is the second master of the Fu family, and even Fu Qiushui's nominal second uncle.
The second uncle knew the inside story, and even if he didn't know, he should take care of his brother's only flesh and blood out of reason. So the second master held the booklet with a speechless face, and according to the records on it, he called people one by one to settle accounts.
This is not over yet, Miss Qiushui said that she thought of a method that would not hurt their peace but could punish them.
Second Master: Oh? Appreciate further details.
Fu Qiushui: Let them take back what they scolded me and copy it a thousand times, and change the names inside to their own. Copy it and read it aloud.
In order to prevent them from being lazy and not reading it out, a group of five supervised each other, testified to each other, and rewarded for reporting. If you report once, you will be copied fifty times less, and the person who is reported will be fined fifty times more.
In this way, Fu Qiushui went to sue once a day, five people each time, and finally sued everyone.
The queen mother was shocked when she heard the news. She thought she was just looking for a random family, but she didn't expect that the siblings were not easy-going. But that's good too, so you don't have to worry about being exposed, after all, what they have done is enough to punish the nine clans.
After Shen Yuqing listened to it, she felt that Fu Qiushui still loved her very much, and had never tormented her much...
But even if the real identity of the emperor is Fu Qiushui's younger brother, that doesn't prevent her from being jealous of the emperor. That guy is really annoying, Shen Yuqing will abduct Fu Qiushui sooner or later, and then the two of them will travel around the world, leaving Emperor Dog to die alone.
"By the way, what's the matter with you and the emperor's birthday?" Shen Yuqing suddenly thought of this.
She thought it was too much of a coincidence to meet two people just one day away.
"The Wanshou Festival is the birthday of the original prince." Fu Qiushui explained, "The Thousand-year-old Banquet was the day when we were found by the master and changed our destiny. In fact, we don't remember our original birthday. So we simply regarded that day as New students, indeed our new students."
The Fu family ignored their family before. Although it made people feel angry, it was also understandable.
With such a big family as the Fu family, it is impossible to take care of everyone. You still have to rely on yourself to live. How can the Fu family have so much money and energy to spend on each side branch
Fu Qiushui didn't hold grudges against the Fu family either. If it wasn't for the power of the Fu family, the family where her father was a long-term worker would not have given the siblings compensation money. The money allowed them to live to the master's house to find them to exchange the civet cat for the prince. Without this money, their siblings would have starved to death.
The ones who really made trouble for their family were those neighbors who lived a little closer. They not only refused to save their lives, but also hoped that their whole family would die soon, so that they would not have to worry about the siblings coming to their door one day and having to give them something to eat. that's it.
Fu Qiushui is quite grateful to the Fu family, at least she and her younger brother are living a life that outsiders can't imagine. Although there are many courtiers and concubines jumping around every day, compared to the precarious childhood life, now it is like a fairy life.
Shen Yuqing also agrees very much, life in the palace is particularly carefree!
Far away, His Majesty the Emperor, who was racking his brains to arrange war-related affairs, did not feel that life in the palace was carefree at all.
Carefree? Hehe, if this goes on like this, he will overuse his brain and become bald!
Pulling down two strands of hair casually, Fu Yanjun was silent for a while, thinking about whether he should see the imperial physician.
It would be embarrassing for the imperial physician to know that his hair is falling out badly, and it is not a good choice not to seek an imperial physician and wait to become bald, but Fu Yanjun reluctantly chose the taller one among the short ones.
I will see the imperial physician tomorrow to see how to cure hair loss.
The next day, the emperor decreed to return to the palace early.
There was a war at the border, and he was not in the mood to continue his summer vacation. Fortunately, the scorching heat has passed, and it is not difficult to go back to the palace now.
The concubines naturally wanted to go back together, Shen Guifei still drove the carriage with the empress. But this time, the eldest princess Qingxi, who was originally with the emperor, also came to them.
Along the way, there was a little girl with childish language and childlike language to make fun of it, and the time passed quickly.
When he returned to the palace, the emperor was not in the mood to talk nonsense with the gorgeously dressed women, and went straight to the front court.
When he was not in court, he suddenly summoned all the ministers to go to court together, which is obviously something serious.
The concubines were not stupid, and suddenly felt a little bit in their hearts. Just now they were trying to seize the time to compete for favor. If they delay the business, can they afford it
Shen Guifei ignored these stupid women, took Qingxi's little hand and went straight back to Jianjia Palace. She also didn't say to send the person to her mother, and took away the palace people newly assigned by the emperor to the princess.
"Que Yue, you are traveling fast, first go back to Jian Jia Palace and tell Man Xing to let the princess clean up the house." Shen Yuqing ordered.
Qingxi might be staying with her for a long time, Shen Yuqing was thinking about packing up a room for her in the main hall, and then letting her maids live in the side hall like Man Xing and Que Ri.
After Que Yue got her life, she immediately went to deliver the message, running very fast. Shen Yuqing and Qingxi walked back slowly, not in a hurry.
If Empress Fu hadn't refused, she probably would have gone to Fengyi Palace with Qingxi for a meal.
Man Xing and the others were very nimble, and when Shen Yuqing arrived, the house had already been half cleaned up. Qingxi is now playing with the adults by the lotus pond in the main hall until dinner time, and then went to look at her new room.
The houses were all set up according to Qingxi's preferences, with Man Xing helping out with suggestions, the little princess liked it very much. Especially the huge adult cat doll on the bed, it was almost as big as Qingxi, her eyes lit up when she saw it, and she wanted to go forward and hug it.
"Go take a bath first, dear." Concubine Shen stopped her and asked the palace servants to take her to take a bath.
In the morning, I rushed back from the wind and dust, and although there was ice to cool it down, I was still sweating. After taking a bath, Qingxi looked refreshed, wearing light pajamas, and was carried to the huge big bed by her mother and concubine.
This bed was enough for her to roll back and forth many times, and several layers of thick cushions were thrown on it, and finally a layer of sheets made of cooler fabric was placed on top of it. There is also a railing that can stand up on the edge of the bed to prevent the little princess from rolling out of bed while sleeping.
Qingxi was so excited that her little face flushed, and she lay on the adult's doll, smiling super happily.
Shen Yuqing touched her head: "Just like it, don't play too late, you know?"
"Uh-huh!"
After exhorting the little girl, Concubine Shen Gui could finally go back to rest. Qingxi rolled on the bed, thinking in her heart that Mother Concubine Shen is the best.
In Mrs. Wan's place, her room is always well-behaved. The bed wasn't soft enough either, saying it was because she was afraid she would indulge in enjoyment. Little Qingxi doesn't understand these principles, she just thinks that the mother concubine doesn't seem to love her very much.
Shen Yuqing couldn't say whether Mrs. Wan loved her or not. But Mrs. Wan cares more about her own interests, so she is strict with her daughter, which she can be sure of.
Back in the dormitory, Shen Yuqing was about to take a bath, but she heard Que Ri ask to see her outside.
"how?"
Que Ri hurriedly reported the news he had inquired: "Your Majesty went to the court as soon as he returned to the palace and announced the war in the west. However, he heard that he had quarreled all afternoon and did not come up with specific regulations. His Majesty announced the dispersal of the court angrily, saying: I have my own considerations. I'm afraid that tomorrow I won't listen to the courtiers and give orders directly."
Shen Yuqing nodded slightly: "Did he mention Qingxi's matter?"
"Not yet." Que Ri shook his head, "We should make a decision tomorrow morning."
Shen Yuqing was thoughtful.
Today was just a formality, he put forward his opinion and made the courtiers quarrel all afternoon. The main reason is to let the courtiers get used to it, otherwise, if the order is issued directly, the courtiers will probably react badly.
After the courtiers had finished arguing, he would get angry again with an excuse, so that the courtiers would not dare to sing against him the next day, so his goal was achieved.
As expected, the emperor successfully issued five orders on the second day, and none of the courtiers stood up to refute. The emperor just said, "If Aiqing has the ability, it is better to make better suggestions", and blocked these civil servants who can only talk.
Two of the five decrees are closely related to the harem, and soon spread throughout the entire palace—
First, the war in the west was tight, and the Central Plains army was transferred to Shu to support;
Second, Xiao Ce, the commander-in-chief of Shu Province, was appointed as the main general to lead the battle, and Cao Jianqiong and Fang Zhengqing were the deputy generals to support him from the sidelines;
Third, recruit martial arts figures to the Central Plains to assist the remaining defenders in suppressing bandits;
Fourth, a swimming fish in the shape of a "dragon" was salvaged from the Yangtze River.
Fifthly, Concubine Shen Gui has excellent appearance and beauty, so she adopts and adopts the eldest princess Qingxi.
Needless to say the last one, Shen Yuqing reckoned that the fourth "Jiaolong" should be a fake auspicious auspiciousness created by the emperor himself. But he pretended to be the same as the real one, and no one would dare to question it.
The purpose of this auspiciousness is only to amnesty the world. Firstly, those prisoners released from prison can be sent to the west to exile, so as not to continue to return to their hometowns to do evil; secondly, it can be done by the way.
The author has something to say: Cao Jianqiong is the father of Concubine Xian, the big boss in the later period. This general shined in the Pingxi War, so Concubine Xian has the confidence to compete with the heroine after she enters the palace
