Chapter 64 turning Gan Ge into jade
It was not until late at night that the envoys of Ulan left the palace and returned to the post house. Xiao Yuanqi and Shen Sirong left with the courtesy of the courtiers, and Luan drove in front of Shangyang Palace.
Looking at the three words of Shangyang Palace, Shen Sirong's eyebrows became solemn. She bowed her head and said, "My concubine left first." With that, Shen Sirong wanted to get out of the car and drive there.
Xiao Yuanqi pulled her, got off the car by himself, and then hugged her thin waist and hugged her down. When the palace people waiting on the side saw this, they can't help but open their faces.
"Your Majesty..." Shen Sirong put his finger on Xiao Yuanqi's strong chest and pressed it slightly against it.
"I will announce that Noble Concubine Shen will stay in Shangyang Palace tonight." Xiao Yuanqi ordered in a low voice. Without waiting for Shen Sirong to object, he went straight into the bedroom with Wang Guangrong's astonishment.
Shen Sirong stiffened in Xiao Yuanqi's arms, and then collapsed and wrapped his hands tightly around Xiao Yuanqi's waist. From the previous uneasiness to the current calmness, Shen Sirong thought carefully that Xiao Yuanqi was not a reckless person, and even if he had feelings for her, he would never break the rules in the harem. It is a rule that Changli has been inheriting that no queen can stay in Shangyang Palace. Even if the previous emperor has never set a precedent for Empress Hui'an, it is natural for him to insist on doing so. Thinking of this, Shen Sirong did not resist much and walked into the bedroom in his arms.
Put Shen Sirong on the bed, Xiao Yuanqi's eyes were spoiled, his fingers passed Shen Sirong's cheeks, and wrapped the hair that fell on his face behind his ears: "You don't see any weight when you are pregnant. Let the imperial doctor add some medicine for you tomorrow."
Shen Sirong did not refute, but looked straight at him, still with his hand on his chest.
"What do you want to ask?" Xiao Yuanqi sighed, and then sat down on Shen Sirong's side. His palms were tightly together, and his five fingers staggered and clasped tightly.
Shen Sirong held Xiao Yuanqi's hand back: "Why did you keep me in Shangyang Palace today?"
"You are very beautiful in that thorny cloud temple. Why should I award you? Moreover, what I have done is from my sincere wishes. Xiao Yuanqi didn't want to hide it from her, but he didn't tell her about the little safety in Yongqing Palace tonight. How could he stand putting her in a dangerous place?
After tonight, Shen Sirong's identity in the harem must be safe. At least whoever wants to touch her should first estimate himself.
"What the hell happened?"
Listening to Xiao Yuanqi's explanation, Shen Sirong was moved with a little disbelief. Today, the action of the envoy of the Ulan Kingdom was clearly vaguely provocative, but Xiao Yuanqi secretly did not attack, but why?
Xiao Yuanqi lowered his head and pecked gently on Shen Sirong's lips and asked, "Do you want to hear it?"
Consuming that what Xiao Yuanqi's next thing to say must be related to the government, Shen Sirong pondered. After all, the harem could not engage in politics. Then, Shen Sirong raised his head again and focused on: "Hmm."
Whether the two of them are in the same mood as before, in her heart, she is the person who wants to stand beside him.
"The dark guard secretly reported that Ulan sent two envoys and two princesses this time. One team came to Changli, and the other team went to Xikun. What's more strange is that even the warriors selected from the Ulan Kingdom were divided into two teams. Xiao Yuanqi said the information that he had just ordered the "eagle" to explore, and the uncertain candlelight in the room reflected the tranquility on his face.
"Two teams? Isn't it that Ulan wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Shen Sirong remembered the overall situation of the world he heard. Xikun was ready to move, and the situation of the three countries would be chaotic within a year. Ulan is a small country and depends on the two countries. The idea is to see which side has more chance of winning and where to go.
"Ulan obviously wants to see the current strength of the two countries and know the size of the gamble to know where the bet is. And the princess, if she is admitted to the palace, is a concubine, and if she does not accept it, she must have a suitable reason. At worst, you can marry a person with real power between the nobles of the palace. Both sides fought, and there were peace and tributes in the way, so they couldn't hurt the foundation of Ulan.
Xiao Yuanqi carefully analyzed the situation to Shen Sirong. In the meantime, Shen Sirong twisted his eyebrows and opened his lips and said, "Today, my concubine has defeated Princess Peiya. What will happen to her?"
"I don't know."
"Don't panic, there must be a road ahead of the mountain."
He reached out and smoothed Xiao Yuanqi's worried eyes and lay on the collapse of the bright yellow dragon with his warm arms. The curtain hung down to block the chill of the night wind, leaving only room full of warmth.
The warmth of the night in the Shangyang Palace, but no one in the harem can sleep at ease. Listening to the report of the maidservant beside her, Wang Shu overturned the jade fruit plate on the table.
Stay in Shangyang Palace, which is something that concubines can't dream of.
"Can she stay in Shangyang Palace just by winning the Princess Peya today? If I go, I will naturally answer better than her.
Wang Shu stretched out her hand and dropped the teacup on the table. The crisp cracking sound was like a prick, and it hurt her ears.
"The Empress is angry." The maid picked up the fragments with trembling and comforted her head but did not dare to raise it.
"If my father hadn't sent a letter saying that there was fraud at today's dinner, how could I have given the opportunity to Shen Sirong?" Wang Shu's heart was deeply resentful, and the light in her eyes narrowed.
"Bang..." The fragments in the maid's hand were knocked down again. With the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, Wang Shu was shocked.
She heard the sound and was ready to look back, and her neck suddenly stiffened. Looking down, a thin sword body crossed her neck with a chill.
"Don't move." The woman's cold voice brought a trembling on Wang Shu's back. She did not reply, but slowly turned her body. The blade used force between her neck, and a red mark suddenly appeared on Wang Shu's white jade-like neck.
"Who are you?" Wang Shu raised her voice.
The woman did not answer. She waved her hand and put out the red candle with her sword body, and the room was suddenly dark.
"Is there any emotional stasis in your heart? Yes, Shen Sirong just relies on some appearance. Do you think if she destroys her appearance, will the emperor still look at her? The woman said coldly, which reminded Wang Shu of the woman wearing a silver mask under the moon.
"What are you looking for?" Wang Shu knew that the people were not malicious, so she relaxed her tight body.
The woman snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that the Empress Li doesn't want to put her hands on the queen's throne anymore? Huh?"
Queen's throne.
Wang Shu showed a little greed in her eyes, and then she secretly weakened. She raised her hand to straighten her clothes and said, "Of course you don't want to. What can you do to help me this time?"
Seeing that Wang Shu became more and more calm, the woman's voice was a little more crisp, which was a little familiar but strange and really indistinguishable.
Who the hell are you? I should know you, otherwise how can you help me?" Wang Shu tried to ask for something to write, and there was a pain in her neck.
"I really don't know you. I'm just helping you because Shen Sirong has a grudge against me. Do you believe what I said or not? The woman was obviously angry, and Wang Shu's heart trembled and said nothing more. But she is also more and more sure that she knows this person, otherwise how could she be so clear about the situation in the palace?
The tranquility in the room made Wang Shu only hear her breathing. After being quiet for a long time, the woman said, "Shen Sirong is pregnant. The emperor once said that whoever gives birth to the prince first will be the queen. Count the days, mother, you should also have a child. This medicine will delay the child's delivery by two months, and even if the prince is born, the child will inevitably suffer from dementia. That's all I can help."
After saying that, there was a gentle footsteps outside the door. The woman threw a small bottle of blue and white porcelain on the table, and then left like a ghost.
Waiting for the waiter outside the door to wait for the movement in the room, Wang Shu lit the red candle again. Putting the medicine on the table in her sleeve, Wang Shu stood up and kicked the maidservant who had been knocked unconscious on the ground.
Maybe she can really get pregnant before Shen Sirong leaves the prince.
Wang Shu turned her back and smiled at the carved bronze mirror, which was extremely delicate.
......
A few days later, Ulan's envoys followed Qin Zheng to visit Changli's market, people's livelihood, military and culture, and secretly made a comparison.
Before leaving, Princess Peya followed Yale to the palace, and today she still has a burning love for Xiao Yuanqi. It's just that when looking at Shen Sirong, it's more complicated and less hostile.
When she left the palace, Peiya deliberately took a step back and walked side by side with Shen Sirong. Looking at the gate of the imperial palace not far away, Peiya laughed, and then whispered in Shen Sirong's ear, "I like him very much, and I like him from the first sight at the banquet. I asked myself that she was the most outstanding princess in Ulan, but I didn't want to have you here.
A frank speech made Shen Sirong inevitably have a good impression on her, and Shen Sirong also smiled sincerely: "Princess Peiya is very elegant, and Sirong is also very envious."
"If it hadn't been for him, I would have wanted to make you a friend." Peya said in a low voice.
Thinking of his many conjectures about Peiya, Shen Sirong couldn't help smiling apologetically: "It's not too late now."
"Really? Well, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to Ulan to find me. After saying that, Peya untied a dark black moon-shaped wood from her neck.
"This is the divine wood I have been carrying, which has the effect of calming down. You can take it as a token." Peya smiled mischievously.
Shen Sirong did not shirk and took it down, but also gave her the silk handkerchief he accompanied her: "This silk handkerchief was embroidered by myself. You can also keep it."
Between their conversation and laughter, it seemed that there had never been smoke that night. The two people who talked in front of each other stopped. Peya took a deep look between Xiao Yuanqi's back. This eye was like a sword passing by, and she wanted to engrave this handsome face in her heart, and it could never be worn out.
"I will forget him when I leave here. Can this sister take care of it for me?"
What Peiya said made Shen Sirong feel sour, facing the eyes full of expectation, and he couldn't say what he refused.
"Good."
For Peiya, Shen Sirong's state of mind is complicated. From the initial hostility to the present, she is straightforward. Her feelings do not need Xiao Yuanqi to respond, but belong to her own. Such Peiya is also envious.
That's exactly how lucky Shen Sirong feels to be the person he loves.
sighed gently and walked towards the deep palace with Xiao Yuanqi. But if you don't want to leave, this situation will not be extinguished.
