marry queen

Shen Zhiqiu's back was torn apart from the beating, and his shirt was stuck together with flesh and blood. Doctor Wei had to use scissors to cut his clothes open, and then slowly remove the sticky material.Shen Zhiqiu was lying on the bed, and when his skin and flesh were separated, he trembled with pain. Imperial physician Wei took out a snuff bottle-shaped object from the medicine box, and handed it to his nose for Shen Zhiqiu to sniff. After a while, Shen Zhiqiu fell asleep.

Fu Yi stood by the bed and watched the imperial doctor Wei cleanse Shen Zhiqiu's wound and apply medicine. The wound on his back was deeply pierced in Fu Yi's eyes. He was both angry and guilty. Disregarding human life, Shen Zhiqiu, who was so delicate and elegant in the past, was beaten like this. The thick ointment covered Shen Zhiqiu's back, and Fu Wei felt that something was also applied to his heart at the same time, which made his chest tremble. stuffy.

Knowing that the medicine given to Shen Zhiqiu by Imperial Doctor Wei just now would make him sleep all day, Fu Wei didn't keep guarding, and went back to his Chengguang Hall.The queen got the news and was waiting for him in the Chengguang Palace, and when she saw him coming back, she hurriedly asked, "How is servant Shen Xuan?"

"Skin trauma, it's okay." Fu Yi helped her sit down.

The queen said worriedly: "Originally the concubine wanted to go and have a look, but now the concubine is heavy and the Oasis Palace is too far away, so I can only wait for news from His Majesty."

"It's okay, you don't have to run around when you're older." Fu Yi rubbed his forehead and sat down on the soft couch, his expression not looking very good.

The queen glanced at him, bowed and pleaded guilty, "The concubine usually only thinks that Lin Jieyu is arrogant and indulgent, but she never thought that she would be so cruel. It is the concubine who is incapable of discipline. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Fu Yi hurriedly pulled her up, "She also regarded this harem as the palace. I knew which concubine I favored more in the palace before, and she refused to let her go. At that time, I just let her go for the sake of acting. She is lawless who doesn't want to let go, it seems that she doesn't have to be a Jieyu."

The queen was startled and asked, "How does Your Majesty plan to deal with it?"

"Since she thinks that choosing a waiter is the last position and can be bullied by others, why not let her have a taste of that."

After hearing this, the queen felt that the treatment was a bit heavy, but since the one who was injured was the emperor's new favorite, she didn't dare to say anything, she could only comfort Fu Yu not to get angry, and took another look at Shen Zhiqiu's weight in Fu Yu's heart , she caressed her stomach, and couldn't help but think, when she gave birth to a child, she didn't know how much place she could occupy in Fu Yi's heart.

On the second day, Fu Lie's imperial decree was issued, and Jieyu Lin was demoted to be a servant and banned for half a year; Shen Zhiqiu was also made a son, which is equivalent to the position of a concubine, and he was given the title, "Mr. Yunyu" .Such a title can be regarded as the only one in the harem.

When the imperial decree was delivered to Ganquan Palace, Shen Zhiqiu had just woken up, the wound on his back was covered with plaster, it was cool, and the pain was no longer so painful after a night, he lay down on the bed and listened to the imperial decree, and ordered Mo Lan to deliver it to the eunuch who delivered the decree. I got a purse.What happened yesterday was an accident. He didn't expect the accident to promote him several ranks, but what he cared about was not his status in the inner court of the deep palace.

In the afternoon, Fu Yu came to visit him at Ganquan Palace. Shen Zhiqiu wanted to get up and salute, but Fu Yu pressed him down and excused him. After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Shen Zhiqiu said: "After what happened yesterday, I can conclude that Lin Jie Yu is not from the Empress Dowager."

"Now she's the chosen servant." Fu Yi picked up the medicine jar beside the bed to check.

Shen Zhiqiu didn't care about her status, and continued: "If you belong to the Empress Dowager, you should be very satisfied with your doting on me at this time, and you will never suppress me, so Lin Xuanshi probably just has a bad temper, not the Empress Dowager's." People, she can rule it out for the time being."

Fu Lu looked at him, Shen Zhiqiu's face was pale, his lips were pale, and there was a wound from his own bite on it, his whole body was weak, and his voice was much weaker than usual, Fu Lu stretched out his hand to touch his forehead , "If you are still injured, you don't have to worry about these things. It is important to heal your injuries."

Fu Yi's cold hand suddenly touched Shen Zhiqiu's hot forehead, Shen Zhiqiu was shocked by the ice, but felt very comfortable with the ice, so he didn't dodge.Fu Wei just checked the temperature on his forehead and then took it away, and said to him, "I originally reserved a seat for you at the New Year's Eve banquet tonight, but it seems that you won't be able to go."

Shen Zhiqiu laughed, "This kind of occasion doesn't interest me at all, it's too noisy."

"The food at the banquet is much better than usual." Fu Wei said deliberately.

Sure enough, Shen Zhiqiu fell silent, with a disappointed expression on his face, he said helplessly: "Wei imperial physician wants my subjects to refrain from eating, and now I can't eat any delicious food. Is the emperor making fun of me?"

Fu Yi laughed softly, the sun was setting outside, and the setting sun shone in through the window, printing dots of light and shadow on the ground, and the air was scented with ink, Fu Yi didn't want to leave for a moment.But he had to be present at the New Year's Eve banquet, so he pressed the corner of the quilt for Shen Zhiqiu with some reluctance, and said softly: "You are so good at rest, no matter what is delicious, I will leave a portion for you, waiting for you to recover , tell you to eat enough."

A long time after Fu Yi left, Shen Zhiqiu didn't come back to his senses. Just now, Fu Yi finished pressing the quilt for him, and even touched the top of his head. I don't know whether he touched it by accident or on purpose. This kind of intimate behavior made Shen Zhiqiu The reaction was too late, it was very strange, why did the palm that was still cold when I checked the temperature of the forehead become warm after placing it on the top of the head?

After the sunset, Shen Zhiqiu fell asleep again. He was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. When he woke up, he saw pieces of fireworks exploding in the air outside the window, and the faint sound of silk and bamboo could be heard in the distance. In Yueyue Water Pavilion, it is very close to his Oasis Palace.He lay on the bed, watching the fleeting fireworks, listening to the cheerful music, thinking that this was his first New Year's Eve in the palace.

Also standing in the yard watching the fireworks was the imperial concubine Zheng Wan'er. She only went to the banquet to show her head and said she was not feeling well and went back to the palace. She was standing on the porch watching the fireworks in the distance.The close maid Kikyo put on a cloak for her, and said with concern: "It's very cold outside, you might as well go inside and rest."

Zheng Wan'er looked at the fireworks that had already fallen, and said calmly: "Are the new ever-burning lights available?"

"It's already served." Kikyo replied.

"Add one more this year." Zheng Wan'er said.

Kikyo was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, this servant will go and give orders." After saying that, she stuffed another hand stove into Zheng Wan'er's arms, and turned around to make arrangements. She found the little eunuch who often went out to do errands, and asked him to leave the palace tomorrow When it is time to go to the Buddhist temple and light another ever-burning lantern.

The little eunuch couldn't help being a little puzzled, "It's still the same as the previous three lamps, don't you write anything?"

"Yes, don't write anything, you can talk about it, the abbot will naturally understand."

"Sister Jigeng, who is the master lighting the ever-burning lamp for? She doesn't write anything, how does the Buddha know who to bless?"

Kikyo glared at him, "Don't ask if you shouldn't."

The little eunuch stuck out his tongue at her, and ran away. On the way back to serve, Ji Jiao couldn't help but feel puzzled. Her master lit all these long-burning lamps, but he never said for whom, which made people curious. However, master Their thoughts are not something she can guess at will, so she never asks too much.

The Empress Dowager Zhou also left the table early, and she was chatting with Bian Qi in the room at this time. She drank the bird's nest dew and said, "The emperor actually punished Mrs. Lin for a man. You know, Mrs. Lin is one of the people in the harem. The one with the best appearance, the Ai family remembers, was the one that the emperor visited Jeju privately with the late emperor, saw Mrs. Lin, and begged the late emperor himself."

Bian Qi said: "Old love is always inferior to new favorite."

"Tell me, did the emperor do this to show the Ai family, or did he really have feelings for this Shen Zhiqiu? From his marriage to the present, the Ai family has never seen him punish anyone."

Bian Qi blew out some lamps for the Empress Dowager, spread out the bed, and said, "Your Majesty's thoughts and servants are also somewhat unpredictable, but whether it's a play or a true favor, it's just right for him to do so."

"It's true, no matter how much you pamper him, you won't be able to give birth to a prince, let him go." The queen mother moved to the side of the bed, lay down and said, "Yun'er will return to the palace in a few days, you should prepare in advance, The Ai family has not seen her for quite a while."

During Shen Zhiqiu's recuperation period, both the Empress and Liu Guiren sent people to visit and sent some things as condolences, but Wang Meiren didn't send anyone, she came in person and brought a box of good blood swallows.The two were far apart, and they couldn't talk much, so Wang Meiren sat down for a while, gave a few words to rest and recuperate, and left.Shen Zhiqiu met her twice, but the first time he didn't leave any impression, he just remembered that she was a submissive and quiet person, this time she came here in person, which surprised Shen Zhiqiu, he watched the back of Wang Meiren leaving , a little thoughtful.

When Fu Wei came to see him in the evening, he asked Fu Wei, "Did the emperor ask for the beauty Wang himself or was it given by the previous emperor?"

"It's neither a beg nor a gift. I rescued her when I went out to play in the palace a few years ago. At that time, she was about to be sold, crying to death on the street, and startled my carriage. She brought her back to the palace." Fu Yi said.

Shen Zhiqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and Fu Yi asked him, "Does she have a problem?"

"No." Shen Zhiqiu said, "Then the emperor's other concubine, Concubine Zheng, I have never seen before, how did she get here?"

Fu Wei pondered for a while, and said slowly: "She is the concubine of the Taifu, it seems that after I married the princess, the Taifu specially came to propose marriage to me, and asked his concubine to be my side concubine. .”

Shen Zhiqiu laughed, "So, the imperial concubine has been yearning for the emperor for a long time, so she begged the Tai Tuo to come and kiss her."

"Wan'er has a cold and quiet personality, and she doesn't talk much with me on weekdays. She gave birth to Yongshu for me, but Yongshu was born in poor health. Once she even lost her breath. We thought she would not survive. A wandering monk who traveled all over the world rescued Yong Shu by chance, and since then Wan'er has been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha, and she has become less talkative." After finishing speaking, Fu Yi let out a long sigh, and his complexion sank, as if he was thinking of those exciting things again. With the sad past, he glanced at Shen Zhiqiu, "You ask me so many questions, why? Did you fall in love with my concubine?"

Shen Zhiqiu secretly rolled his eyes, but said with a smile on his face: "I still want to leave the palace as soon as possible, but I don't want to be bestowed to death by the emperor so early."

Fu Yi laughed lightly, stopped joking with him, and talked about serious business. These days, he received reports that the Turks were a little dishonest. Although they did not invade in a big way, they have been harassing the towns bordering Northern Wu with no pain. The disturbed people there were panic-stricken, and there were different opinions on this matter in the court. Some people advocated taking the initiative to attack and teach the Turks a lesson;

Shen Zhiqiu also put away other thoughts, and asked: "What is Your Majesty's plan?"

"I intend to talk about peace." Fu Yi said.

Shen Zhiqiu nodded, "My minister agrees with His Majesty, you have only been on the throne for less than a year, and there is a lot of waste waiting to be done, and the treasury is not full. It is not the time for war."

Fu Yi handed Shen Zhiqiu a list, "This is the official who agreed to the peace talks in the court today, take a look."

Shen Zhiqiu took it over and looked at it carefully, and saw the names of the prime minister and An Nanhou in it, he pondered for a moment, "If it is a peace talk, we need to send an envoy, does your Majesty have someone in mind?"

Fu Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the name of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Zhao Yunchen. Shen Zhiqiu looked at him, and Fu Yi said: "This man is very smart and capable, but he has a weird personality and has no friends in the court."

"His grandfather Mr. Zhao is first-rate in knowledge, and Mr. Zhao must be not bad." Shen Zhiqiu nodded in agreement.

Fu Wei was a little surprised, "You also know Mr. Zhao?"

Shen Zhiqiu said: "I was lucky enough to take lessons with him when I was young."

"Oh?" Fu Wei stroked his chin lightly, "So, we are from the same family, but I have never seen you before."

Shen Zhiqiu said: "It's only been a few months of study, your Majesty must have been listening to the Taifu's lectures with the First Prince at that time." After finishing speaking, he said, "Is your Majesty choosing someone for the general who will go with the envoy?"

"This matter has not been decided yet, what's your idea?"

Shen Zhiqiu took the list and looked at it carefully, and finally chose someone who was not on the list, "I recommend the son-in-law."

"Duke Ding's eldest grandson?"

"Yes." Shen Zhiqiu said, "Duke Ding has always had the military power in his hands, presumably the son-in-law also doesn't want to enjoy himself in peace, why not give him this opportunity to practice and practice."

Fu Li propped his chin and thought for a long time, and finally agreed, "It is indeed a good candidate. Duke Ding is the leader of the battle. Sending his grandson to the mission must be very aggrieved in his heart. I am happy to see that they disagree. You look happy." Fu Yi laughed, looked at Shen Zhiqiu with smiling eyes, and said teasingly, "You have a very bad mind."

Shen Zhiqiu also laughed, "Only the more things you do, the more likely you are to make mistakes, and the emperor can take action if you make a mistake, but this time they shouldn't make any mistakes, they don't dare yet."

"Of course, it's just a matter of experience." After all these things were settled, Fu Lie leaned on the soft couch with ease, and when he looked up, it was already dark outside. Shen Zhiqiu was sitting next to him, with a soft goose feather on his back Soft pillow, Fu Yi remembered that he was still injured, and hurriedly asked, "I forgot the time when we were talking, how is your back injury?"

"It's not in the way anymore." Shen Zhiqiu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Wei imperial physician is very skilled in medicine."

"Do you still need to avoid eating? I have ordered the imperial dining room to prepare the dishes for the last New Year's Eve banquet, and I can make them for you at any time." Fu Wei said seriously.

Shen Zhiqiu smiled helplessly. At some point, he became a greedy person in Fu Yi's eyes, "I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it in a short time, and I still need to avoid it."

After he finished speaking, Fu Wei called Jin Fu in, and told him that today's dinner is served in Ganquan Palace, the dishes are light and warm, and Shen Zhiqiu hurriedly said: "The emperor doesn't need to accompany his ministers here to eat sick meals."

"It's okay, I'm not particular about what I eat." Fu Yi casually picked up Shen Zhiqiu's medical book next to the soft couch and flipped through it, as if he didn't want to leave. Shen Zhiqiu glanced at him, hesitated to speak, and turned the page Open another unfinished medical book and continue reading.

Ginkgo and Mo Lan came in one by one and added a few lamps to the room. The room was brightly lit, but very quiet, with only the slight sound of pages being turned, and the charcoal fire in the center of the room made the room warm and harmonious.
