Palace Prisoner

Chapter 9 The storm is coming

Shen Shiyan looked at her indifference and said with a deliberate tone, "This is sent by King Li." Shen Shiyan specifically mentioned King Li to test whether she really knew King Li. Li Wang's behavior today forced him to reassess Shen Sirong. But at this time, there was no flaw in Shen Sirong's face.

"King of Glass?" Shen Sirong raised her eyebrows slightly. Naturally, she knew King Li. He was the only son of Concubine Shu, who was favored by him. However, she didn't understand what the gift of the glass king had to do with her.

"Who sent it and what does it have to do with me?" Shen Sirong put the brocade box back on the table.

Shen Shiyan has never looked through this daughter. She used to be and is now. Shen Shiyan said something that made the three people present change their faces: "This is what the King ofli sent to you overnight."

And Shen Sirong's face was only three points of surprise, which soon turned into shallow and solemn. She knew that she never knew the son of Mr. Wang, let alone the king of glass. Now Liwang is giving gifts to her, which really surprised her.

"What? Is this for her?" Shen Siyi couldn't calm down and shouted. Dad made her feel strange when he went to Shen Sirong. No wonder he didn't let her touch it. The expression on Shen Siyi's face twisted, and her left index finger pointed to Shen Sirong. Shen Sirong glanced at her. The calmness and indifference in her eyes made Shen Siyi's anger reach its peak. She rushed forward angrily and pushed Shen Sirong fiercely. Shen Sirong saw her deftly and dodged aside. Shen Siyi couldn't stop her strength. She fell on the table and touched the chair on one side.

"Go back to my room, hum, what kind of style, am I too indulgent to you? Unexpectedly, there is no order between the eldest and the youngest. Go back to the room."

The daughter was scolded, and Wang's face was not good-looking, but it was quickly concealed. The tight hands on her legs and the kneaded handkerchief showed her uneasibility. She pulled Shen Siyi out of the front hall together.

The two people in the hall have their own thoughts.

"Kingli asked you specially at the banquet today. I said that you had suffered a cold. As a result, Kingli sent someone to send ginseng overnight and told you to live and recover."

Shen Shiyan looked at Shen Sirong and said. He will not believe that Shen Sirong and Li Wang don't know each other. Shen Sirong saw the doubt in his eyes and smiled. Is this the reason why he just came forward to defend her? Shen Sirong put away his expression and returned to his usual indifference: "I never know any glass king."

Her tone made the chessboard in Shen Shiyan's heart more chaotic. Shen Sirong doesn't have to hide this. She said that if they don't know each other, they don't know each other. So, what is the original intention of King Li? If the thoughts of the Wang family are involved, it will not be easy to do. Shen Shiyan's eyebrows were locked tighter.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was very compelling, Shen Sirong bent his knees to Shen Shiyan: "Dad, Sirong said goodbye first." Shen Shiyan wanted to continue to ask her, but Shen Sirong seemed to know what he was thinking and spoke in advance, and Shen Shiyan waved his hand to her.

Walking back out of the front hall, Shen Sirong's pace became heavy. The glass king would not know her, but he made such a misleading move. Shen Sirong seldom goes out, let alone make friends with others. No matter what the purpose is, he does not involve her...

Shen Shiyan returned to the bedroom. Shen Siyi was leaning in Wang's arms and sobbing in a low voice. Seeing Shen Shiyan come in, Shen Siyi was eager to prove something. She firmly believed that the ginseng was given to her by the Glass King. Shen Shiyan scolded her: "Do you still think I'm not messy enough?"

"Really, I'm not causing trouble. Today, Li Wang has been, always, in short, this can never be given to her..." Shen Siyi wanted to explain more clearly, but made Shen Shiyan more annoyed.

Wang sent someone to take Shen Siyi back to her boudoir. She sat by the bed in silence, but her mind was not idle.

Two years after her marriage, her parents died in an accident, and then her relationship with the Wang family faded. Now it seems that she has to go to Lala's relatives for her daughter.

I can't believe it. Is this retribution? She robbed the woman's husband. Is that woman's daughter going to take it back now?

Shen Sirong, it seems that I really underestimate you...

A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Xiao Ze felt that it was time for him to choose the crown princess for Xiao Yuanqi. That day, Xiao Ze went down to the court and went to Zilan Palace, which is Shufei's palace without even changing his clothes.

Xiao Ze didn't take the car, and he didn't let the slaves go directly into the main hall. Concubine Shu was lying on the couch when she saw Xiao Ze come in and quickly stood up, straightened her clothes and headdress, and bowed.

"I don't know that the emperor has arrived, and I have never responded far away. Please forgive me." Shufei is nearly 40 years old, but she is well maintained, her face is smooth and delicate, without any wrinkles.

"My concubine, get up quickly, it's okay." Xiao Ze picked her up with a smile, which was so shallow that it had never reached the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Ze sat on the top, and his maidservant served tea. He took a look but did not move. Concubine Shu stood aside with her head slightly lowered. Xiao Ze casually greeted a few words and then entered the topic: "I have something for you to do today. The prince is not young. It's time to marry the imperial concubine."

Xiao Ze's sentence is enough to make Shufei understand. She thought for a moment and said, "Next month's 11th is the birthday of my concubine. It's better to summon the wives and daughters of ministers above three grades to the palace in this name. What does the emperor think?

Xiao Ze nodded: "Hmm. It's up to you. I have something else to do, so I'll go first. Take a rest." Xiao Ze stood up and walked to the door.

"Congratulations to the emperor."

Shufei half knelt down. At the moment when Xiao Ze was wrong, her eyes were stung by the golden embroidery thread on the dragon robe. She closed her eyes slightly and opened them again. Xiao Ze had already left Zilan Palace.

Only then did a mother come forward to help her get up. Concubine Shu sat in front of the window and planned what to do next. She wanted to choose a concubine for the prince, so that the concubine could also become a good move... She passed the daughter of the Wang family one by one in her mind and had a plan in her heart. Concubine Shu sat at the table and wrote a text message and waited for it to do it to do. Feng Hao, she called her confidant she brought from home and said, "Li Ge, send this letter to my brother's house. After reading the letter, he naturally knew what to do. Remember, be careful in everything.

"Li Ge understands." A unattractive maid took the letter and put it in her arms and retreated. Shufei's lips full of lip fat expanded slightly, and a fine light flashed in her eyes.

......

In just a few days, the news that the prince was about to choose a concubine spread all over Xijing City, and all the qualified officials were looking forward to it. For a while, cloth shops, rouge shops and jewelry stores in Xijing became popular.

Naturally, the Shen family is no exception. Shen Siyi has been hiding in the house for several days since the last ginseng incident. But now he is busy working for the position of the crown princess. Shen Siyi figured it out because of Wang's words. She said, "Even if Shen Sirong becomes Princess Li, don't you have to salute when you see the crown princess?

After receiving the letter from Shufei, Wang Chu also made corresponding arrangements. Concubine Shu asked the emperor for a favor, saying that she wanted her sister-in-law and niece to enter the palace to talk. Xiao Ze allowed her face to face, and after returning to the Xuanzheng Hall (where the emperor handled the government), he immediately called the prince over.

When Xiao Yuanqi entered the hall, Xiao Ze sat on the dragon chair with a cold face. When Xiao Yuanqi knelt down to say, Xiao Ze calmed down and gave him a seat, sent away everyone in the palace, ordered him not to meet the courtiers for the time being, and sent his confidant to send out.

"I don't know what's wrong with the father's urgent call for his son?" Xiao Yuanqi asked.

Xiao Ze sneered, and the gentleness just now disappeared: "They are going to plan on you now. The news of the selection of concubines is to see what the Wang family will do. Sure enough, she asked Wang Chu's wife and daughter to enter the palace the day after tomorrow. Xiao Ze knew very well that the Wang family would be solved sooner or later. If they continue to gain power, the court will not be stable. If they can no longer gain power, Xiao Yuanfeng will be their last card.

And he is completely relieved about Xiao Yuanqi's political ability, and the ability to weigh the courtiers is also first-class, so as long as he is safe in the selection of concubines, he can be relieved.

"What do you have in mind?" There is no reason to solve the Wang family for the time being. The best way is to slowly "deduce the enemy deep", but moderation is very important.

"It's my son's answer." Xiao Yuanqi might as well cooperate with them in the play.

On the day Wang Chu's wife and daughter entered the palace, Xiao Yuanqi usually sat in the stormy pavilion in the imperial garden after lunch, but today he sat longer than ever.

Xiao Yuanqi looked at Shi Chen and doubted that his judgment was wrong. According to his itinerary, this is the only time he can take advantage of them every day. Xiao Yuanqi stood up and looked at the green lotus pond not far away. The lotus flowers had bloomed, and pink and green contrasted with green. Occamely there was a wind, and there was a faint lotus fragrance in the gentleness of his face.

Wang Shu hid behind a tree not far away. Before entering the palace, she knew the purpose of her trip. Concubine Shu asked her to wait here and make an opportunity while the prince sat down. Wang Shu felt that this was too deliberate. If you want to say that you have a chance encounter, you have to succeed once.

Xiao Yuanqi stood for a while and went to the East Palace. Wang Shu took a look at the maid behind her: "Take me a shortcut to the front of the prince." The maid led Wang Shu from the remote path on the east side of the Royal Garden to Shou'an Palace: "Miss, this hall is the only way for the prince to return to the East Palace." Shou'an Palace originally lived by the empress dowager, but there is no empress dowager in Changli now, so this place is empty.

When Wang Shu arrived here, she sent the maid to hide on the side. She saw a cluster of lilies by the roadside, and then looked at the clothes she was wearing today. She had a plan in her heart.

What is God's will? Wang Shu waited for a long time and didn't see the prince pass by. The sun leaned to the west. She had to rely on the original road of memory to return to Zilan Palace. Shufei and her mother were anxious. Seeing her coming back, she quickly ordered the palace people to close the door.

"How about it? Tell your aunt, what's the prince's reaction?" Shufei was a little anxious. She took Wang Shu to sit down and asked.
