marry queen

Jin Fu searched all night and just found some clues. Early in the morning, he found that the maid involved in Fengyi Palace fell into the dry well and died. The clues were broken here.Fu Yi scolded Jin Fu and the others in Chengguang Hall, but no matter how hard he scolded, he couldn't continue the investigation.

Shen Zhiqiu persuaded Fu Yu, raised his chin to make Jin Fu and others retreat, and said to Fu Yu: "Actually, even if the clue is broken here, the emperor knows in his heart who is the most suspect."

Fu Wei's anger still persisted, "She is the queen mother, without proof, I can't touch her."

"Since you can't move, think of other ways. You can't suffer in vain. She wants to harm the emperor's child and make the emperor's harem uneasy, so it's better to return the same way to him." Shen Zhiqiu said softly.

Fu Wei's face turned pale, he frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "Yuan Hongxuan looks like a talented person, but he is actually very dandy. It's unknown, if someone accidentally started a commotion in the outside room, with Fu Yun's domineering and domineering style, he will definitely not let it go."

"Even if the son-in-law doesn't have a concubine, just find a way to let him raise one. I will inform the people in the Annan Marquis Mansion about this matter. It is more convenient for them to act outside the palace."

Fu Lu looked at him, "It's my uselessness, I can't eradicate the Queen Mother's power in one fell swoop, and I want you to suffer along with it."

"The empress dowager has been in charge of the government for many years, so it's not easy to deal with it. As the emperor of a country, maintaining the stability of the world is your top priority. The emperor has only been on the throne for a year, and the ministers have heard that the people have already praised it. It is really a blessing for the people to have such a king. "Shen Zhiqiu saluted a courtier and said respectfully.

Fu Lie helped him up, "You and I, why bother to make such a fuss, let's go, let's go see the queen together."

Shen Zhiqiu went to Fengyi Palace with Fu Yi. Just now, Fengyi Palace had an accident with a maid and was severely rectified. At this time, all the palace people were very cautious in fear of making mistakes. Although there were many people in the whole palace, it was very quiet.The queen leaned on the soft couch in the warm pavilion, her face was pale, but her spirit was better than before. Seeing Fu Yu and Shen Zhiqiu coming in together, she suppressed the sadness in her heart and greeted Fu Yu.

Shen Zhiqiu also knelt down to pay respects to the queen, the queen raised her hand and said weakly: "Mr. Yunyu, you don't need to be too polite, I have already heard what your majesty said, thank you, Mr. Yunyu, for worrying about this palace."

"As a minister, I should serve the emperor and the empress. Is the empress better?" Zhuzhi moved a chair for Shen Zhiqiu, and Shen Zhiqiu sat down to answer.

The queen showed a haggard smile, "It's better, Mr. Laoyu is concerned." She said to Zhuzhi, "Ask the nanny to bring the eldest prince to show His Majesty."

Zhuzhi responded and went, and the nanny quickly hugged the eldest prince and came to pay her respects, kneeling in front of Fu Yi, "The eldest prince pays his respects to the emperor."

Fu Yi hastily stretched out his hand to pick up the infant prince. After these days, the prince's face and body were finally no longer wrinkled. His round eyes rolled around and he was not afraid of life at all. Stretching out from the swaddling baby to grab Fu Yi's face, Fu Yi's heart melted, and he smiled very lovingly.Shen Zhiqiu also leaned over to look at it. Such a small life continued like this. He only felt it was miraculous. Then he thought, as a man, he probably won't have a child of his own in this life. It's just that this thought is fleeting. It was soon interrupted by the eldest prince's cry.

There is joy and peace here, but the atmosphere in Yongshou Palace is not very good. The Empress Dowager Zhou never expected that her meticulous arrangement would fail to deal with the eldest prince, and she was almost discovered by others. She looked at Bian Qi with a cold face, "do something It’s not straightforward, now that people haven’t got rid of them, they’ve left people with excuses, what’s the use of Aijia wanting you.”

Bian Qi plopped down on his knees and pleaded guilty, "The servant is ineffective, please punish the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, and said helplessly: "This is the end of the matter, what's the use of Aijia punishing you, get up, this Shen Zhiqiu has such ability, it seems that we can't underestimate it in the future."

Bian Qi was busy looking for an opportunity and said: "The second girl of the Zhou family will be of age in two months, and she should be sent to the palace. The queen mother is afraid that she will suppress the one from Ganquan Palace. If His Majesty is allowed to spoil him like this , it is not appropriate for the second girl to enter the palace."

"What you said was that he was promoted because he couldn't have children. Now that Yixin is going to enter the palace, he should give way. You can arrange it and find an excuse to suppress his limelight. You don't have to let the emperor spend all day. Indulging in a man's bed."

"Yes, I obey." Bian Qi saw that the queen mother looked better before he dared to touch her head. The sandalwood rose from the incense burner, making people drowsy.

Shen Zhiqiu wrote a letter to Shen Yanran on the same day, entrusting her to handle the affairs of the son-in-law's mansion.Shen Yanran had a marriage discussion within a few months after Shen Zhiqiu entered the palace. Xu was the eldest son of the servant of the household department. Although his family status was not as grand as the Marquis's, his life was very stable, and the eldest brother-in-law was also famous. , and respected Shen Yanran very much. Shen Yanran was smart and cautious since she was a child, and Shen Zhiqiu was very relieved to leave this matter to her.

When the matter here came to an end, Shen Zhiqiu thought of Concubine Zheng who had a quick glance that day. When the Empress was having a difficult labor, Concubine Zheng rushed over, unable to hide her worried expression, but after the Empress woke up, she never went to Fengyi Palace again If it is said that the relationship between the two of them is not good, her anxious appearance does not seem to be faking. If it is said that the relationship is good, why has there been no relationship.He asked Chen Xiang to find a piece of high-quality sandalwood from the warehouse, and ordered Gingko to send it to Guangyang Palace to Concubine Zheng, and inquired about the story between her and the queen by the way.Ginkgo came back very quickly, but she didn't look very happy, she said sullenly: "Everyone in Guangyang Palace is very tight-lipped, and the slaves can't find out anything, only know that the imperial concubine and empress are making trouble when they are in the palace. Turned over, it seems to be because of competition for favor."

Shen Zhiqiu had heard about these things, and most of those who came from the palace knew that it was nothing new, so he waved his hand and let Ginkgo go down. Mo Lan led a court lady in from the outside, and said to Shen Zhiqiu: "My lord, Wang Meiren Send someone over to say hello."

Shen Zhiqiu nodded to signal for people to come in, and the court lady knelt down respectfully to pay her respects, "Servant, please greet Mr. Yu, our master heard that Mr. Yu was very interested in the soup jade rolls in the Lanling paddock, so he specially made a copy himself. Give it to the son."

Shen Zhiqiu was slightly stunned, motioned Mo Lan to accept the food box, and said to the maid: "Thank you for your master's kindness, I will personally go to Jingyi Palace to thank you someday."

After the maid left, Shen Zhiqiu opened the food box, and there was a box of delicate snacks inside. It was indeed something he ate a few more chopsticks at the night banquet in the Lanling paddock that day. When he was talking with Liu Guiren that day, Beauty Wang was there Next to him, he must have listened to their conversation and sent such a snack today, but Shen Zhiqiu really couldn't figure out what she wanted to do. Her series of abnormal behaviors made Shen Zhiqiu list her as a key suspect object.

He told Mo Lan to throw away the snacks, and went to the inner room to play the unfinished game of chess.

Since the first prince was born, Fu Yi spent most of his time by the side of the empress and the first prince, and the number of visits to Ganquan Palace was much less. Shen Zhiqiu had nothing to do, and started playing chess with himself again.

When lighting the lamp, Ginkgo served Shen Zhiqiu a bowl of steamed cheese with sugar. Seeing Shen Zhiqiu playing chess alone, she couldn't help sighing: "Since the eldest prince was born, His Majesty has not come to play chess with you."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't speak, and silently picked up the crispy cheese and ate it, while thinking about how to solve the chess game, but Ginkgo didn't see his emotions yet, seeing her master's non-competitive temper, couldn't help but remind him: "Servant Lin Xuan Since I lifted the foot restraint, I often run to Chengguang Hall, and give a bowl of milk and bird's nest today, and a Ruyi cake tomorrow, but I am very considerate."

Shen Zhiqiu put down the bowl, looked up at Gingko, and said calmly: "If you keep talking so much, you won't have to wait around in the house from now on."

Gingko shut her mouth tightly in fright, shook her head violently, wanted to speak but dared not open her mouth pitifully, and mumbled: "I dare not."

"From now on, you don't need to report such things to me. What Ganquan Palace was like before, it will be the same in the future. Go." Shen Zhiqiu dismissed her, picked up the crispy cheese and continued to eat.

Suddenly one hand was placed on top of his head, and Fu Yi's voice came from behind, "Is there anything I don't need to tell you?"

Shen Zhiqiu's hands paused, and he took another spoonful of crispy cheese to eat, before he said lightly, "Why did you come here so quietly?"

"I heard you scolding someone when I came in, so I thought I wouldn't disturb you." Fu Yi sat down opposite him, the chess game in front of him was coming to an end, Fu Yi looked at Shen Zhiqiu's indifferent face, and said apologetically , "The imperial doctor said that Yanjun's illness was at the root of her illness during childbirth, and her body may remain like this forever. I was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so I went to stay with her for a few more days."

Hearing Fu Wei's explanation, Shen Zhiqiu felt sad and helpless. He is the son of heaven, and there are many beauties in the harem, and he is just one of his concubines. What right does he have to play tricks because he doesn't come and ask the emperor to apologize personally? Lie smiled lightly, "The emperor should spend more time with the queen, there is no need to explain to the minister."

Fu Yu took Shen Zhiqiu's hand, put it in his palm and squeezed it, "It's my fault if you're angry, I'm not explaining to you, I just want to tell you the truth."

Shen Zhiqiu looked at the hands that the two shook hands, listened to Fu Yu's words, and suddenly remembered his original intention. He originally only wanted to reach a win-win cooperation with Fu Yu, but he didn't know when the relationship between the two became ambiguous. , he clearly knew that now his feelings for Fu Wei were not just for the courtiers and the emperor, he was attracted to him, once a person is attracted, he will become insatiable.And Fu Wei is the emperor. He has many women now, and there may be many women in the future. To him, he may be just a novelty for a while, so he dotes on him more. If he gets bored in the future, then he will only be rejected. You can't even get out of the palace gate.He thought of the eldest prince he saw in Fengyi Palace not long ago, that was Fu Yu's son, and he would have more sons in the future, and Shen Zhiqiu, if he fell on this person for the rest of his life, he would be just a man Concubine's identity.

He didn't want to become someone like Lin Xuan's servant Liu Guiren and Wang Meiren, who tore his face for the favor of a man and didn't care about anything.When he heard Ginkgo's words tonight, he felt very uncomfortable and angry. Because of this, he became more and more afraid, afraid that he would become like that in the future, full of jealousy, possessiveness and resentment.

Once this kind of thought popped up, it was like being possessed by a demon, and it was out of control. The more Shen Zhiqiu thought about it, the more he began to hate himself who was so affectionate with his sons and daughters. The emperor was fraternal and merciless. The safest and most reliable.

So Shen Zhiqiu withdrew his hand, and respectfully said to Fu Li: "I am not angry, Your Majesty, the elder sister of the minister has already made arrangements for the matter of the son-in-law that I discussed with you before. In a few days, the eldest princess will probably make trouble. Come to the palace, and ask the emperor to think of a countermeasure earlier."

Fu Yi grabbed an empty hand, looked at Shen Zhiqiu's indifferent face, and frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Shen Zhiqiu's attitude towards him suddenly changed. If it was because he didn't come these days, he had already explained it. Well, he originally thought that Shen Zhiqiu should understand him, so Fu Yi lowered his face, "I don't want to talk about business today."

"Since that's the case, it's getting late now. If the emperor wants to stay here, I will call people in to change clothes for the emperor." Shen Zhiqiu said to Fu Li while tidying up the chessboard. There was nothing wrong with what he said, but such aloof The tone made Fu Yi very dissatisfied. He felt that Shen Zhiqiu seemed to have become the cold and indifferent appearance when they first met. The warmth of the previous days seemed to have disappeared. Fu Yi got off the soft couch and said in a deep voice: "You rest Alright, I'm leaving."

Since he didn't want to stay by himself, why bother to make fun of himself.

A long time after Fu Lu left, Shen Zhiqiu was cleaning up the chessboard. He moved in an orderly manner, but he felt bored and uncomfortable. He smiled sadly.

The author says:

Shen Zhiqiu undoubtedly likes Fu Wei, but he is very afraid of this kind of liking. After all, the other party is the emperor, and there are three thousand beauties in the harem. He is very afraid that he is just one of them, and he is very afraid that he will become another person because of liking, so he thinks After so much and starting to back off, this chapter can be regarded as his self-pull.
