marry queen

The eighth day of November is Princess Yongshu's fifth birthday. In the past, Princess Yongshu's birthday was never celebrated. Concubine Zheng felt that Yongshu suffered a crime when she was born, so it should not be too lively. In the past, she had a meal with her. This year she was five years old, and the Ministry of Rites mentioned the matter of organizing a birthday banquet, and Concubine Zheng agreed.

It’s just that there is still no big deal, only the royal family and a few close ministers are invited. The banquet is held in Jiang Xuexuan, and everyone who should be there has arrived. Wearing a wishful bun, wearing a red gold auspicious lock around her neck, she followed Concubine Zheng. Although there was excitement on her face, she was very well-behaved. She was only five years old, and she could already see the princess' calm demeanor.

Everyone gave presents, Shen Zhiqiu did not prepare any gold and jade utensils, but gave a pot of lotus petal orchids that he raised himself, the orchids are well-raised, elegant, dignified and unique, Zheng Guifei took it, and said something lightly Thank you very much, Shen Zhiqiu looked at Yong Shu who was following Concubine Zheng, her expression was exactly the same as Concubine Zheng, so he smiled and said: "Princess is already dignified at such a young age, and the concubine is a good teacher."

Concubine Zheng's face was indifferent, she looked down on Shen Zhiqiu, the man who robbed Yanjun's husband, and said coldly, "I naturally raise my daughter with care."

Shen Zhiqiu ignored the sarcasm in her words, bowed, smiled and patted Yongshu's head, and was about to leave when Ruhua who was beside Liu Guiren hurried over, seeing that Concubine Zheng and Shen Zhiqiu were both there, she was in a hurry Kneeling down to the two of them, with a sad face, he said: "Greetings to the imperial concubine and Young Master Yunyu, our lady is not in good health, so I can't come today, and my servant is here to ask for leave."

Shen Zhiqiu thought to himself, indeed he hadn't seen Liu Guiren for more than a month, it turned out that he was ill, his status was not as high as that of Concubine Zheng, although he was in charge of representing the harem, he still waited for Concubine Zheng to speak.Concubine Zheng still didn't show any expression after hearing this, she didn't even glance at Ruhua, she just said coldly: "Understood." She didn't even ask the imperial physician to take a look.

Ruhua received the permission, resigned from Concubine Zheng and Shen Zhiqiu, and rushed back to take care of Lady Liu.After she left, Shen Zhiqiu said to Concubine Zheng: "I saw Liu Guiren a month ago and I was just a little haggard, unexpectedly I was sick."

Concubine Zheng said indifferently: "Who can foresee such a thing as being sick." After saying that, she took Yongshu's hand and walked into the banquet hall. Shen Zhiqiu looked at her back, and she understood in her heart that Liu Guiren's illness came Since the haunting in the palace last time, her complexion was not right. It seems that the haunting scene was specially staged for her.

When Fu Yi came over, he happened to see Concubine Zheng and Concubine Shen Zhiqiu had finished talking, and saw Shen Zhiqiu standing there in a daze, stepped forward to grab his hand, squeezed it lightly, and asked, "What are you and Concubine Concubine talking about?" What? I can’t recover for a long time.”

Shen Zhiqiu turned his head to look at Fu Yi, recalling the sarcasm Zheng Guifei just said, he smiled at Fu Yi, "I'm talking about having children, I really envy the imperial concubine for having such a well-behaved daughter."

Seeing Shen Zhiqiu's meaningful smile, Fu Yi yelled in his heart that it was not good. He kept Shen Zhiqiu by his side, and he cut off Shen Zhiqiu's children from now on, but he himself had a son and a daughter. This was extremely dissatisfying to Shen Zhiqiu. To be fair, if Shen Zhiqiu really pursued it, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

Fu Li firmly grasped Shen Zhiqiu's hand, leaned close to him and said with a smile, "Yunyu wants to adopt a daughter? Why don't you find a good adoptive in the clan to be your name?"

Shen Zhiqiu pretended not to like it, "The imperial concubine said that the daughter she gave birth to is the closest, what's the fun in raising someone else's."

Hearing his tone, Fu Yi knew that he was not angry, so he put his fingers on Shen Zhiqiu's palm and whispered in his ear: "In this case, Mr. Yunyu will give birth to a daughter for me tonight."

Fu Yi no longer called himself "I" in front of Shen Zhiqiu. Shen Zhiqiu felt embarrassed when he said this deliberately at this time. He wanted to tease him, but he didn't expect to be teased. Seeing that the two of them were about to step into Jiang Xuexuan, Shen Zhiqiu sideways distanced himself from him, turned around and glared at him, "I can't have a baby with you. After the emperor releases my ministers out of the palace, I will naturally have a baby with others."

Fu Yi pinched him hard through his clothes, and said viciously, "How dare you!"

While joking, the two walked into Jiang Xuexuan, everyone got up and shouted long live, Shen Zhiqiu had already broken free from Fu Yu's hand, and took a step back, no longer standing side by side with Fu Yu, but followed him in and took a seat, Feeling his action, Fu Wei held Kong Kong's palm and did not speak.

After the dinner, Concubine Zheng ordered the maid to take the drowsy Yongshu back to the palace to rest first. She held the hand of Kikyo and sent Fu Yi respectfully, then walked back slowly, and walked to the front of Yaohua Palace, watching At the closed palace door, she sneered, and said to Kikyo: "Find a free time to exchange the two scriptures from Mrs. Liu and destroy them. There is no need to add more benzoin. Now the poison has soaked into her skin, you just need to slow it down." Just wait slowly, if you stay for a long time, it will cause disaster.”

"Yes." Kikyo nodded in response.

A gust of night wind blew by, and the maple leaves in the imperial garden fell all over the ground with the night wind. The embroidered shoes of Concubine Zheng and Platycodon grandiflora stepped on them, making a slight rustling sound, like the silent secret that this palace is performing every day.

The Ganquan Palace has not been repaired yet, Shen Zhiqiu still lives in the Chengguang Palace, and he is acting as an agent for the harem. Naturally, the banquet was the busiest one that day, and when he returned to the Chengguang Palace at night, Chen Xiang helped him take off his thick dress , he felt a lot lighter all of a sudden.He was wearing a middle coat and sitting on a low stool in the side hall, and let Chen Xiang rub his shoulders and neck for him. Fu Yi changed off his dragon robe and walked in in a regular dress, signaling to Chen Xiang and others to leave, and went forward to personally Rubbed Shen Zhiqiu's shoulders.

Sensing the change in the strength on his shoulders, Shen Zhiqiu knew that he was coming, and instead of stopping him in fear and fear as before, he sat quietly while Fu Lie was still massaging him, and asked, "Why isn't the emperor still here so late?" rest."

"Seeing that you haven't come here for a long time, let's take a look. Are you tired during the day?" Fu Yi asked with concern.

Shen Zhiqiu felt a lot more comfortable on his shoulders, so he patted Fu Yu's hand lightly, stood up, faced Fu Yu, and said, "I'm not very tired, it's just that the clothes are worn inside and out in so many layers, and they are very heavy, as usual. Ordinary clothes are more comfortable to wear."

Fu Yi grabbed his waist, brought him into his arms, hugged him, lowered his head, and pressed his forehead against his, and said softly: "Now that you are in this position, you feel that the dress is cumbersome. What should we do if we reach a higher position?"

Shen Zhiqiu's heart skipped a beat, he frowned and said: "Is the Emperor drunk at night? Why are you talking nonsense, now this position is already very good, I don't want to go any higher."

Fu Yi stretched out his hand to caress Shen Zhiqiu's black hair draped over his shoulders, and touched his earlobe, his movements were gentle and loving, he looked into Shen Zhiqiu's eyes, and said slowly: "When you step into Jiang Xuexuan today, let go of me His hand retreated behind me, at that moment, I felt as if the side around me was suddenly empty, I want you to stand side by side with me forever."

Fu Yu's words and his actions were like a soft feather, gently sweeping over Shen Zhiqiu's heart, his heart was suddenly wrapped warmly by Fu Yu, he leaned his head on Fu Yu's shoulder, stretched out his arms to hug With a tight and firm waist, Fu Yi said sullenly, "I'm already very happy if you think so, but that seat is too high, and I can't and I'm not qualified to sit."

Fu Yi kissed the top of his head, "I will make you eligible to sit."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't speak. He didn't dare to look in such a high direction. He never thought about it when he chose to stay with Fu Yu. As long as Fu Yu only had him in his heart, he was enough. What he is interested in, but today when Fu Yu said that he wanted to stand side by side with him, Shen Zhiqiu couldn't help being moved. What moved him was not power, but standing beside Fu Yu, like a real couple. Stand side by side, raising eyebrows.

Knowing that he was thinking too much, Shen Zhiqiu shook his head, trying to drive away the fantasies in his mind, Fu Yi's neck was itchy when his hair rubbed against him, he pressed his head to keep him from moving, lowered his head and kissed him, Between lips and teeth, the two were so emotional that they tugged on each other's clothes. They could no longer go to the main hall of Chengguang Hall, so Fu Yi rested in the side hall.

After blowing out the candle, Shen Zhiqiu remembered that he forgot to tell Liu Guiren, but just as his thoughts popped up, his body was turned over by Fu Lie. He could not think about other things anymore, and hugged Fu Lie tightly. Leo's arm, drowning in his passion.

Liu Guiren's illness worsened when winter came, and she was already bedridden. Her whole body was losing weight, and her skin lost its luster. .They all said that she was too frightened, too worried, and her qi and blood were not coordinated due to impatience and dryness. No one could say clearly what the disease was.

The Empress Dowager has long regarded Liu Guiren as an abandoned son. When she planned to get rid of Concubine Zheng's daughter and the eldest prince, Liu Guiren did not succeed in any of them. She only managed to get rid of a son who had successfully given birth Empress, the Empress Dowager has long been disappointed in her. When she heard that she was seriously ill, she just sent a nun from Yongshou Palace to visit her, not even the border flag.

Fu Yi was going to take a look, but Shen Zhiqiu had stopped him with excuses several times before. On this day, Ruhua cried and came to the imperial study to ask Fu Yi to visit Liu Guiren. Fu Yi had already understood Shen Zhiqiu's thoughts, so he ordered Jin Fu went to have a look with some supplements and medicines, but did not go in person.

Shen Zhiqiu was sitting at the low table in the Imperial Study Room reading a book, looked at Fu Yi's way of reviewing the memorial, lowered his head and asked, "Do you think I'm too ruthless?"

Fu Yi raised his head when he heard the words, and replied: "You always have your reasons, even if I went to see it, it wouldn't help. I'm not a doctor, so I can't cure her illness."

Shen Zhiqiu put down the book, looked up at the sunlight coming in from the window of the imperial study, and said lightly: "Actually, I don't hate any of your concubines, they are also poor people, you usually go to see them or want to pamper them, I won't say anything..."

Fu Yu interrupted him with a smile, "Look, the more you talk, the more you talk, the more you talk about it, how often have I favored others?"

"I know." Shen Zhiqiu sighed softly, "You are a favorite, so I won't say anything, but Dudu Liu can't do it."

Fu Yi was quite curious, so he simply put down the memorial, walked over and sat opposite Sheng Zhiqiu, and asked, "Has she offended you?"

Shen Zhiqiu looked at him, thought for a moment, and told Fu Yi all his conjectures about the eldest prince's birth and falling into the water. The more Fu Yi listened to it, his expression became darker. When Shen Zhiqiu finished speaking, Fu Yi's expression became very ugly. Tell me sooner."

"Although I have conjectures, I don't have any evidence. I tell you that you can't deal with her. This time, she is very sick. It must be that someone secretly took advantage of the haunting incident. This is the retribution that the Liu family should have, so I don't want to Let you go to see her, if you go to see her, it will cool Empress Yide's heart."

Fu Wei clenched his fists secretly, "Even if there is no evidence, I have other ways to deal with her. It's better for me to do this kind of thing than you. If you make a move and leave something for others, I will have to deal with her later." Take care of you."

Shen Zhiqiu's heart warmed up, thinking that this was actually what Fu Yi cared about, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have not touched this matter."

"That's good." Fu Lie nodded Shen Zhiqiu's forehead, "In the future, you must tell me immediately, no matter whether there is evidence or not, I will stand by your side."

"Then if I want to frame others, what if I make a false accusation out of thin air?" Shen Zhiqiu tilted his head and asked, he was very moved when the king of a country said such a thing, and couldn't help but want to be petty.

Fu Lie knocked on his head, and said helplessly, "If you are such a person, I can only admit defeat."

In the end, Fu Yi never went to visit Liu Guiren, and secretly ordered that the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital do not need to treat her anymore, and Liu Guiren's illness became more and more serious.

The snow came later this year, in mid-December. After a night of heavy snowfall, the entire palace was covered with a thick layer. It was inconvenient to travel, and the weather was cold. Everyone stayed in their own palace without going out. household.

When Fu Wei was taking a nap, Shen Zhiqiu couldn't sleep, so he sat on the soft couch in Chengguang Hall and read a book. The cage in Chengguang Hall was burning very vigorously, and he felt warm all over while wearing only a thin long gown. Jin Fu bowed his body and came in quietly, Seeing him, he leaned over and said: "Young Master Yunyu, I'm afraid Liu Guiren from Yaohua Palace will die."

Shen Zhiqiu looked up at the heavy snow outside the window, sighed softly, put down his book and stood up, and said softly: "The emperor is asleep, so don't disturb him, I'll go and have a look."

"Yes." Jin Fu beckoned Chen Xiang and Xue Zhu to go forward to dress Shen Zhiqiu. The world separated by a door was bitingly cold. Shen Zhiqiu tightened his cloak and walked towards Yaohua Palace step by step through the accumulated snow. , when passing the imperial garden, saw Zhou Yixin who hadn't seen him for a long time, holding the maid's hand and hurried past, and didn't notice Shen Zhiqiu and his party.When Zhou Yixin passed by, there happened to be a gust of north wind, and the wind blew up the corner of her cloak, revealing the jade pendant and sachet hanging around her waist.

"Master, what's the matter?" Seeing him stop, Chen Xiang couldn't help asking.

Shen Zhiqiu said indifferently: "It's nothing."
