The Hall of Mental Cultivation, where Emperor Chu worked.
On the desk is a pipe with a gold wire cutout, and a curling cigarette emerges from it. Emperor Chu was sitting in front of the case and was working, with a red pen in his hand. He opened a memorial and looked at it. Seemingly provoked by the content, he put the pen upside down and poked at a place on it.
Shen Gong shared a cup of tea on the horizontal board and bowed to the Chu Emperor. Emperor Chu picked it up and put it on his lips, just took a sip and put it back, glaring angrily: "Why is it so hot!"
"Useless things, this thing can't be done well!" He grabbed the teacup and hit Eunuch Shen.
The teacup flew towards him with water, smashed hard on his forehead, and then fell to the ground and shattered. A bruised mark appeared on Shen Gonggong's forehead immediately, but his body still maintained that bowed and respectful look, without moving half an inch.
Emperor Chu sneered, and just as he was about to say something, he saw a small eunuch walk in quickly from outside: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has arrived."
"Let him come in." Seeing that Eunuch Shen was still there, Emperor Chu looked annoyed for a while, then waved his hand to signal him to go down, "Go down."
"Yes." Eunuch Shen then put down the horizontal board, bowed and stepped back.
The prime minister, Wei Yunping, walked into the hall and passed Eunuch Shen who was walking out. He raised his eyes slightly and quickly looked up, and when he saw the blue and purple on his forehead, his eyes flashed slightly, bringing out a strange expression. .
It seems to be ridiculing and feeling, but it is sympathy that cannot be shaken.
Shen Gonggong clenched his fists tightly in his drooping sleeves, clenched his back molars, but with a light chin on his face, he closed his eyes and bowed his eyes, and bowed out respectfully.
When exiting, the sharp-eyed little eunuch asked with concern, "Eunuch Shen, what's the matter with your forehead?"
"It's okay, I just accidentally touched it." Eunuch Shen gently touched the bruise with his hand, and the pain struck, he said nonchalantly, "Go and do your own thing."
The little eunuch obeyed and left, and Eunuch Shen looked back at the words "Mental Mental Cultivation" on the plaque, and then turned his gaze to the tightly covered door curtain, as if he had already entered.
Thinking of Wei Yunping and Emperor Chu he had just met, his eyes were dim, his expression unclear, and the corner of his mouth twitched into a sarcastic arc.
In the afternoon, Emperor Chu went to Guanju Palace to have lunch with Shen Fengyue.
There were delicacies on the table, Emperor Chu sat at the table, and Shen Fengyue was allowed to sit and eat with the emperor because of his special favor.
"Yanyan, try this chicken bean soup porridge. There's a new cook in the palace, and I think his craftsmanship is good." Emperor Chu held a spoon and was about to serve the porridge when Eunuch Shen reminded in a low voice. :"emperor."
The movements of Emperor Chu's hands kept moving, and he filled a bowl full of it and placed it in front of Shen Fengyue.
Shen Fengyue scooped a little bit into her mouth with a spoon, only moistening her lips, meaning: "Sanlang's taste is good."
Emperor Chu frowned, and Long Xin was very happy: "Since Yanyan likes it, I will let him come to your small kitchen tomorrow, and I will specially cook for you in the future."
There was a hint of joy in Shen Fengyue's eyes, and it was just right for Emperor Chu to capture it.
I don't know what's going on. Recently, the old emperor was obsessed with health care and couldn't extricate himself. He wanted to eat warm porridge that nourished the stomach. Shen Fengyue's mouth was tasteless, and it was a hot day, which made it even more torture.
The chick picked the rice with a spoon as if pecking at the rice, and as long as Emperor Chu looked from one side, he immediately assumed an elegant posture.
The ancients respected eating without speaking and sleeping without speaking, so it was extremely quiet for a while.
Shen Fengyue was eating, her eyes wandering, she glanced at Eunuch Shen beside him, and found that there seemed to be a little blue-purple on his forehead. And because the other party was standing on his side, and he couldn't see clearly, Shen Fengyue called softly, "Eunuch Shen?"
When Eunuch Shen heard the words, his body moved slightly, and the wound on his forehead appeared completely and immediately.
"Your Majesty's Concubine?"
When Emperor Chu heard the words, he stopped what he was doing, and Shen Fengyue said, "What's wrong with Eunuch Shen's forehead?"
However, Eunuch Shen just bowed and saluted: "The slave is stupid, I accidentally ran into it a few days ago, thank you for your concern."
"Shen Gongzheng is such a shrewd person in his day, that he would lose his mind when he never thought about it." Shen Fengyue mumbled a few words, and said nothing.
When Emperor Chu heard it, he sneered without raising his head: "Yanyan, minions are all stupid things. Even if they get hurt, it's their own fault. How can it be worth worrying about?" He changed his words: "Shen □ □, you can go and see the ice bowl that the small kitchen made for the imperial concubine, if it is still not ready, go and urge it."
Eunuch Shen complied with the order and withdrew. After a while, he brought the ice bowl. Emperor Chu wanted to handle political affairs in the room. Shen Fengyue didn’t want to stay in the room and danced the embroidery needles, so after eating the ice bowl, he excused himself to go out to the imperial garden.
The imperial garden is full of flowers, and it is as beautiful as a dream, but it is not unusual to see this dream more. There is a swing in the peony flower area. It is said that Emperor Chu specially ordered someone to make it for him. There is a pavilion not far away. Shen Fengyue decisively chose the pavilion between the swing frame and the pavilion.
He was about to stride towards the pavilion, when he took a step with his feet, and saw three or two palace people passing by with flower baskets on their shoulders, so the foot wind immediately changed into lotus steps, and gracefully walked slowly towards the swing frame. .
Under the gaze of a palace servant, he walked to the swing in front of the swing like walking the red carpet.
Acting in a full set, the real favorite concubine can't go to the pavilion where Ge You is paralyzed.
"Slave and maid, see the noble concubine."
Shen Fengyue nodded slightly as a response, she sat on the swing gracefully and slowly, and kicked her legs hard, and the swing swayed.
The ladies took out the scissors in the basket to trim the branches of the flowers and plants, so nervous that they didn't dare to say a word.
They collapsed hard, and Shen Fengyue pretended to be hard. The two sides hurt each other for a long time before they stopped. The maids took back the scissors and bowed their luggage to Shen Fengyue before leaving.
With both feet touching the ground, a sudden brake stops the swing. There was a sudden flash of dizziness in the brain, which was inexplicable, followed by a familiar smell.
Shen Fengyue used her brain to perceive "sniff", and hesitantly said, "System?"
The system didn't say a word, but it was covered with a strong smell of alcohol.
"Crack", the wine bottle fell to the ground, and the system opened another bottle and poured it into the mouth.
All the sounds were magnified countless times in Shen Fengyue's mind, and they were extremely clear.
Shen Fengyue knew that it was bitter in her heart, and persuaded: "Tongniangniang, listen to my advice. One drop of wine in the system, two lines of tears for the host, a small drink of happiness, a lot of drinking hurts the body."
This time the system finally responded, and it burped a long wine burp: "I don't! Burp~~~" very loudly.
"Brother Tong~"
The system put down the wine bottle and patted his chest hard: "Shen Xiaoren, you are sorry for me."
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry for you, it's all my fault, I know you're bitter, but you can't use alcohol to hurt the data link."
The system snorted coldly: "I'm having a hard time, do you think I'll make it easier for you?! Ha."
In the end, it came with a fatal blow: "Yanyan Saburo is just the beginning!" After speaking, he disappeared, only the sound of drinking alcohol.
Shen Fengyue suffocated, her heart was not good, this damn artificial mental retardation actually wanted to harm him. Then there was another movement under his feet, and the swing swayed swayingly.
When the swing was raised high, the person above grasped the vertical ropes on both sides, swinging the swing to draw a beautiful arc in the air, a little sunlight shone in, and the golden light sprinkled on his face, Shen Fengyue closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment.
He cleared his throat, lengthened his voice, and sighed, "This is the three thousand beauties in the harem, and three thousand are petted all together."
The system's eyes were red at that time: "Bah!"
Shen Fengyue smiled lightly, smiling like a quiet time: "Looking back and smiling Bai Meisheng, the harem has no color."
The system was so angry that he ate a bottle of wine again. He wanted to stop talking, but he was still angry and couldn't help choking him: "Dang so high, I'm not afraid of falling!"
I don't know if the system's mouth has been opened, and the curse is too effective. As soon as its voice fell, Shen Fengyue slipped, and the swing immediately shook uncontrollably, and the whole person was flying downward.
Shen Fengyue saw that the trend was over, she didn't do any extra struggle, she slid down with the trend, and stood on the ground with a steady step on the spot, the swing seat hit him on the waist.
Not to mention, it still hurts a bit. He rubbed his waist and pretended to return to his noble and elegant appearance. He looked around and found no one before he let out a sigh of relief.
This is too embarrassing.
Eunuch Shen, who witnessed all the truth not far away: "..."
When the imperial concubine did not return for a long time, Emperor Chu ordered him to look for him. He just entered the imperial garden when he heard the noble concubine's strong words, and was shocked and didn't know how to react.
Thoughts swirled in his mind, he actually hid and peeked, and as expected, he saw the steady pace just now.
The corners of Shen □□'s mouth curled up wildly uncontrollably, and he couldn't hold it back. He covered his lips and coughed lightly, calming down his mood before going out.
"Princess concubine, the emperor saw that you were gone for a long time and did not return, so he sent the servants to look for you."
When Shen Fengyue heard the sound, she looked back and saw that it was Eunuch Shen, she lightly tapped her chin on her temples, and put on a stance, "Bengong will go back now."
After saluting, Shen □□ followed the imperial concubine in a regular manner, looked at the pretentious posture of the imperial concubine in front of him, swayed the dust, and curled up his lips.
Concubine, it's really interesting.
In the evening, Emperor Chu had something important to do so he didn't spend time with Shen Fengyue. It was rare to find peace and tranquility. Shen Fengyue was so happy that he even had an appetite.
After a while, a little eunuch entered the hall with a food box.
"Niangniang, there is a big fish in the kitchen. It is very fat. The emperor asked the small kitchen to prepare it for you." The little eunuch opened the lid of the food box to reveal the big fish inside.
The fish was carefully cooked by the royal chef, and when it was opened, a strong aroma that belonged to the food rushed to the face, and the maid Hongmei Luoxue nodded in appreciation when she saw it.
Shen Fengyue frowned, and the chopsticks made a clear sound in the bowl. He said, "Fish? This is the fish that this palace hates the most. Don't eat it in the future."
For some reason, his strange dislike of fish must be a sequelae of the previous world.
Hongmei was shocked to hear him speak so openly, and whispered in his ear: "Niangniang, you made a blunder. Why don't you eat the fish given by the emperor? If you really don't like fish, take a chopstick to show that Just an attitude."
Shen Fengyue felt that what she said was reasonable, she restrained her expression, looked at the little eunuch whose hands were trembling slightly and was terrified, she waved her hand and said tolerantly: "Forget it, you go down first, there is no need for anyone to serve here. Bring it down, running errands is hard work, and giving some golden melon seeds is a hard work."
After receiving the reward, the little eunuch went down with Hongmei Luoxue and other palace servants.
The fish is in front of you, but you still have to move to make a look.
The chopsticks pierced the fish belly to select the most tender and thornless part. Shen Fengyue buried the selected piece of fish in other dishes and pressed it. When he looked up again, he found that there was something hidden in the fish belly.
It's a rolled up note.
Shen Fengyue took out the note with chopsticks, unfolded it, and saw only one line of small characters written on it, which was concise and comprehensive.
- At the time of today, outside the east wall, on the thirteenth brick at the lower end, there are three cuckoo calls.
A mysterious and irritating feeling swept over, and Shen Fengyue remembered her identity as a spy who disguised herself as a woman and went deep into the harem to act as an eyeliner.
So he secretly burned the small note, rubbed his hands and waited for midnight.
When she was about to have a baby, Shen Fengyue wore a simple black dress, went to the east wall on time with her hair disheveled, and waited quietly.
There was a sudden cuckoo call from outside the wall.
Shen Fengyue squatted down and counted along the wall, one, two, three, four... Thirteen, he tentatively called out, "Cuckoo?"
There was no movement outside the wall.
"Cuckoo?"
"Cuckoo?"
After three cuckoo calls, the thirteenth brick loosened and was pulled away from the outside, with a hand sticking out of the hole, holding a note in his hand.
After Shen Fengyue took the note, she stretched her hand back, and the bricks were pushed back to lay them together.
The note unfolded, and Shen Fengyue whispered the contents on it: "Crazy Yan Kingdom."
"Um?"
"Prince Concubine, what's going on here?" The flat and sharp voice sounded in the middle of the night, like a savage ghost, and it was terrifying and strange.
Shen Fengyue's body was trembling uncontrollably, the note in her hand was almost unbearable, the hair all over her body exploded, and goosebumps fell to the ground.
"Prince Concubine?" The voice continued.
The legs hidden under the black dress trembled, Shen Fengyue bit her head and turned around, and saw that it was indeed an old acquaintance, Father Shen.
Shen □□'s eyes were narrow and slightly raised. At this moment, he was staring straight at Shen Fengyue, as if a fierce beast had locked the weak prey, leaving the opponent with no possibility of escape.
Shen Fengyue looked at him without speaking.
Shen □□ raised his eyebrows, arrogant.
Shen Guifei, who was caught by the pigtail, was panicked in her heart, and her brain brushed "it's going to be cold", but on the surface, she had to try her best to keep her calm, so that the other party would not see her panicked heart.
Shen □□ saw that the imperial concubine was at the end of the force, and was just holding on at this time. He tentatively stretched out a foot, and sure enough, he saw that the face of the person opposite was pale and his body was shaking. Seeing this, he chuckled and retracted it again. that foot.
Neither side spoke, the enemy didn't move, I didn't move, and we were deadlocked.
The stalemate was broken by a cuckoo sound, and after the cuckoo call outside the wall, his face turned black. Seeing him pacing to the wall, Shen Fengyue stopped her fingers on the thirteenth brick on the middle floor, knocked on it, and screamed three cuckoo calls in anger.
After three beeps, according to Shen Fengyue's previous joint operation, the brick was pulled away, the note was handed over, Shen □□ took the note, moved his hand away, and moved the brick back.
The history is strikingly similar.
After Shen □□ got the note, he didn't look at it, held it in his hand, raised his head and stared at Shen Fengyue with a smile.
What do I do? What do I do? ! Why is he looking at me? !
Shen Fengyue swallowed hard, the atmosphere was surprisingly embarrassing, he turned his ears away, opened his mouth under the gaze of the enemy, and said first: "Eunuch Shen, now we both have the handle on each other, you have power, Ben The palace also has power, I'm afraid no one can move anyone."
Shen nodded.
"That being the case, this palace has a good suggestion."
Shen □□: "The noble concubine, please speak."
Shen Fengyue: "I don't know what is written on Eunuch Shen's note, I just ask, is it contrary to my mission?"
Shen □□ shook his head: "There is no conflict between the slave and the empress."
Hearing this, Shen Fengyue's heart was more than half relieved, and he continued: "Since this is the case, why don't the father-in-law and this palace turn their battles into jade and silk? It's not good to fight against each other, so why not join forces and conspire together?"
"Is the mother-in-law so sure?" Shen □□ spread out his hand, revealing the note, unfolded it, looked at Shen Fengyue slowly, and after reading it, crumpled the note into a ball and swallowed it, then innocently Looking at Shen Fengyue, "Look, the evidence is gone."
Shen Fengyue: "..." Looking at the note in her hand, she didn't have the courage to swallow it directly like Lang Yan.
Shen □□ seemed to like Concubine Yan's expression after she was shrivelled, and after she had enjoyed enough, she said happily: "How noble is the maiden, willing to put down her body to join forces with the minions, the minions are grateful, and there are thousands of willing ones in my heart. ."
"… "
Shen □□ continued: "The maiden is in charge of the harem, and the servant is in charge of the affairs of the previous dynasty. It is a natural partner."
"… "
"Since it's decided to join forces, why doesn't the niece give the servant a high five as a ceremony to formally conclude the covenant?" Shen □□ raised his eyebrows, raised one hand, and waited for Shen Fengyue.
"..." What's wrong with this broken eunuch!
Shen Fengyue reluctantly walked over to give him a high five, and asked, "How can Ben Gong help you?"
Shen □□ said as he should: "Aren't you women the best at the harem?"
Shen Fengyue choked on this sentence, her mood was complicated and indescribable. Staying with this person for one more second at this moment is a torment. He wants to leave: "If there is nothing wrong with the father-in-law, I will go back first. It is cold at night, father-in-law, please come back quickly, be careful not to catch the cold."
Shen □□ smiled and thanked: "Thank you for your concern."
Shen Fengyue walked away, forcibly awakening the system on the way.
"What is the origin of this Eunuch Shen?"
The system was in a mess, his eyes were blurry, and he laughed wildly, and then slowly went through the information to answer Shen Fengyue's question.
"Ah, this Eunuch Shen, Shen □□, has a lot of origins."
"Thirteen years ago, a scandal broke out in Great Chu that shocked the whole country. The Shen family, who had been guarding the frontier for generations, colluded with the enemy country, Yan Kingdom, was reported by the current Prime Minister Wei Yunping. Women act as workshops and castrate underage males."
"Shen □□ was castrated at the age of 15 and sent to the palace. With his own intelligence, he climbed up step by step and eventually became the chief eunuch of the imperial eunuch. He was very embarrassed in front of the emperor."
After listening to a long list of palace secrets, Shen Fengyue couldn't help muttering: "Is there such a big grievance and hatred? I understand." The quilt fell asleep.
When Shen □□ walked to a place here, he waved his hand, and a black-clothed shadow guard ducked and knelt in front of him.
"The situation has changed, and Concubine Yan can't stay."
Shadow Guard: "When will you start?"
Shen □□ thought for a while, pointed in the direction of Guan Ju Palace and said, "Qiu Wai."
