Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Yin Zhuli stayed in Zhaohua Palace peacefully, Shen Tingjiao would come to stay overnight if there was nothing to do, he really stayed up late and went to bed late, so he rested in his own bedroom, he had never been to Qu Lingyu's place, the other place is Chen Noble —— let alone Zhang Qing's mother's residence. Everyone in the palace knew that he regarded Empress Wenxu very preciously, and the people in Zhaohua Palace were all superior to others.But after all, this is only the harem, and the relationship above the court is relatively more complicated.The emperor's harem was never used to house his beloved woman.Most of the time, the harem is just a balance of power in the court. The women here do not rely on beauty or talent, let alone intelligence. The emperor should look at family background.Many dignitaries in the court have beloved daughters, and many of them have this kind of thought. Empress Dowager He made several proposals, but Shen Tingjiao rejected them all, saying that the country is unstable and the people are uneasy, so she will not accept concubines anymore.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason, and everyone knows it in private—the one in the palace is very powerful, it is said that even after accepting Concubine Hui, this empress dared to poison the emperor.But Emperor Jiayu even endured this. Who would dare to offend a woman who is so vicious? Grace cannot be monopolized.Why Yin Zhuli didn't understand this truth, she remembered the joke she made with Shen Tingjiao a long time ago - "The lake is very cold, except for women and eunuchs, you can't even find a cucumber... Everyone has used their fingers for many years, it is very lonely."

The emperor's harem should be three thousand Fendai.But this deep palace, just such a man, needs so many people to divide.That thing is not big, even if it is sliced ​​thinly, how many slices can one person get? She sat in front of the desk and flipped through a volume of the Lotus Sutra. Thinking about such evil content in front of the Dharma Zen Sutra, she couldn't help but sigh that she was really impure. Empress Dowager He has signaled Yin Zhuli several times that Shen Tingjiao must accept a concubine, and there are already several ministers who have daughters of the right age and good appearance in their families, and one of them is a big official in the frontier.

Yin Zhuli still smiled lightly: "The concubine respectfully obeys the Queen Mother's order." But when the picture scroll arrived at Shen Tingjiao's place, there was still no movement.Empress Dowager He couldn't help being anxious - people have different ideas in different positions.Fu Chaoying killed Qu Tianji and embraced Shen Tingjiao as emperor because of circumstances. Firstly, Shen Tingjiao was his blood, and secondly, Qu Tianji's military skills were sophisticated, and victory was not easy.But now that he has a heavy army in his hands, if the political situation is still uncertain, will he still wholeheartedly submit to Shen Tingjiao?

Xue Chengyi's land at the border is rich and rich, and these people are strong and strong, if he can't win over, he will have a different heart. The scrolls were returned one by one, and Empress Dowager He no longer knew what to do with her son.He resented Yin Zhuli even more, Su Daji overthrew the merchants, Wu Zetian conspired with Tang Dynasty, women are too wise, they are evil spirits. Because the new emperor's succession delayed the scientific examination, after Shen Tingjiao ascended the throne, he decided to re-open Enke on the sixth day of December.No scholar in the world would want to miss such an honor.

As the days approached, he was also busy very late, and even the Zhaohua Palace could not see him often.Empress Dowager He sent someone to invite Yin Zhuli to go to Tianlan Pavilion to admire the plum blossoms, but Qingwan sent her back on the grounds that "the empress is under ground restraint and cannot go out".This is what Shen Tingjiao meant, he didn't want Yin Zhuli to start a dispute with Empress Dowager He.Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager He sent things over and over again to show her kindness, and sent people over to ask for warmth. Everyone in Zhaohua Palace was amazed.And this afternoon, Empress Dowager He actually came over in person.

The scenery in Zhaohua Palace is also good, Shen Tingjiao especially prefers this palace, so he placed Yin Zhuli here.The pavilions and platforms in the palace are scattered, and the plum blossoms are in order.The floating water is clear, and the swimming fish come and go.The zigzag white stone path meanders among them, and the jade railing is half a person's height, and the beautiful scenery in the water can be seen. Under the white stone path, there is actually another spinning machine. The white marble on the back is engraved with Chang'e flying to the moon and Dunhuang flying to the sky.

Looking at the reflections here and there, the water waves are flowing, and each texture is drawn ingeniously, making the picture lifelike.Can not see the luxury, better than exquisite. Empress Dowager He stood leaning on the railing for a long time, and she was full of praise when she saw the scene: "Your Majesty has spent a lot of thought on treating the Empress." Yin Zhuli just bowed slightly, her impression of Empress Dowager He had changed sharply, and her attitude was naturally not much better: "The emperor's kindness is mighty, Zhuli is terrified." Empress Dowager He shook her hand very affectionately: "Don't say that, your Yin family is also a hero of Daxing."

Yin Zhuli was a little skeptical about her sudden change—it was like the chicken's mood when the weasel paid New Year's greetings to the chicken.But Empress Dowager He quickly clarified the purpose of her visit: "Today Ai's family is just here to see the queen. After all, the queen in the palace is not familiar, and there is no acquaintance to talk to on weekdays. This is the distant niece of Ai's natal family. She's also smart and cute." A girl came out from behind her. She was a lady, like a famous flower carefully cultivated by a gardener.However, the famous flowers that are often pruned are always too deliberate, well-regulated, and beautiful because they are beautiful, and eventually lose their natural wildness.

"The little girl, Xue Zangshi, has met the empress, and the empress is a thousand years old." She was blessed with thoughtful etiquette and a generous demeanor.Yin Zhuli just stretched out his hand to help her up, and sighed in his heart, what the hell, how could someone be born so like a queen? Empress Dowager He still smiled slightly: "Queen, this girl is born to be a lovely girl." She waved her hand to make the Tibetan poem retreat, and Yin Zhuli looked at her graceful gait and walking like evening wind to help the willow, deeply moved. Feel God's injustice.Empress Dowager He almost made a request, "Exile, she is the only daughter of Anchang Hou Xue Chengyi, Ai Jia assures you that she will never shake your queen's status. No matter what happens in the future, you will always She is the queen of Emperor Jiayu of my Great Ying Dynasty."

Her expression is sincere, her voice is sincere, and everyone can take it seriously.Yin Zhuli sneered inwardly—after a few years, if you engrave Laozi on the tablet, you will naturally be the queen for thousands of years.But she still had a smile on her face: "This child looks good, and his family background is also suitable. The concubine has no objection." Empress Dowager He was delighted when she heard the words: "Good boy, Empress Mother knows that you are a generalist. It's just that the king is still young and stubborn. See if you can..." Yin Zhuli nodded without hesitation: "Should be." Empress Dowager He was still uneasy after hearing the words: "Tomorrow the Japanese palace will hold a banquet at Tianlan Pavilion. If you invite the king to the banquet, our family should find a day to get together. After all, you are the master of the harem, Mr. Even staying in the palace is outrageous." Yin Zhuli laughed secretly - obviously he wanted Shen Tingjiao to see the Tibetan poem, right?But she still nodded: "Definitely." Empress Dowager He didn't bother her to send her off, and left gracefully.Yin Zhuli threw a fruit into the water far away, and the look of birds and phoenixes was blurred into a water pattern. Leaning against the railing, she suddenly found herself sighing. At night, Shen Tingjiao still stayed in the Zhaohua Palace. This winter is extremely cold, the snow has not yet melted, and new snow falls again.He was wearing a white fox fur, even though Chen Zhong was holding an umbrella, his shoulders were covered with snow. In the snow, the people of Zhaohua Palace knelt down on the ground, but Yin Zhuli was already drunk.Shen Tingjiao blamed everyone, but also knew that guy would not listen to persuasion.Entering the room, seeing that she was already fast asleep, everything was unavoidable. At that time, she had left Fugui City for some time, and the Yin family was still taking care of the business in the store - she lived away from customers, her sources of news were not as good as before, and she no longer had the power to decide many things. The palace is quiet, and it is even more difficult for outsiders to come in. She was alone in the palace, Shen Tingjiao came late, Qu Lingyu avoided her all day long, even if Queen Mother He saw her from a distance, she avoided it as much as she could.Even when Fu Chaoying confiscated her Huang Quanyin last time when she was imprisoned, he feared that she would provoke trouble, so he returned all of them to her. She has nothing to do all day long, so she is inevitably addicted to drinking. Shen Tingjiao stood in front of the couch for a while, he couldn't help showing some pity, and after a long time, he took off his boots and got on the couch.Yin Zhuli opened his eyes and looked at him for a while, but in the end he was very drunk and not sober.Shen Tingjiao turned around and hugged her to sleep, but she took advantage of the opportunity and kissed him on the mouth, as if she recognized him, she was very happy: "Jiuye!" Shen Tingjiao responded softly, and some sweetness rose in his heart.He couldn't say what he felt about this guy.Walking bumps and bumps along the way, at first I knew that everyone was just taking advantage of each other, but then I gradually got used to her, and felt that other women didn't taste like her. Later, she gradually slacked off, and when encountering difficult things, she would push her in front of her and let her go.Up to now, happiness and anger are leading her, as long as she shows a good face, I will be flattered and startled, wishing I could not wag my tail a few times. He sighed in a low voice, thinking that he is also a bloody man, how could he be raised by her like this.Yin Zhuli didn't care about this, and clung to him like an octopus.He lightly pecked her on the forehead, these days Yin Zhuli was very obedient and did not cause any trouble.He was worried that she would not be used to the lonely and boring life in the palace, so he always doted on her, and always thought of her first whenever there was anything interesting.Whenever he had time, he would go by her side, and he would go all out on the couch, always thinking of feeding her first, so as not to cause any trouble to her. He gently untied the complicated dragon robe, and rubbed her smooth skin under the cloth with one hand.She had been idle in this palace for a few days, and her body became a little plump again. He stroked her all the way down, feeling very satisfied. Yin Zhuli was very enthusiastic tonight, wrapping around him like a water snake.He was a little scared, or this guy always has ulterior motives every time he shows his favor, or maybe what she is thinking at this moment is only the handful of dead bones in the suburbs of Chang'an?He buried himself in the warm fragrance of nephrite jade to calm his distracting thoughts. After the love, Shen Tingjiao was a little tired, and fell asleep with Yin Zhuli hugging each other.Yin Zhuli opened his eyes, the dim candlelight mixed with the night, and the light was sticky.The precious light in her eyes was flowing, but there was no hint of intoxication. The clapper knocked four times, Shen Tingjiao woke up, saw Yin Zhuli staring at him blankly with dark eyes, couldn't help laughing again: "Sleep together every night, haven't you seen enough?" Yin Zhuli snuggled into his arms, and said right next to his ear, "I'm going to hunt tomorrow." Shen Tingjiao hesitated: "A few days ago, because of my succession, this year's scientific examination was postponed. It's the end of December, and there is still a lot of time to prepare. When this matter is over, may I go with you?" Yin Zhuli turned his back to him, and said with displeasure: "You don't have to go with me, I will bring my own people. If you don't worry, you can send Zhang Qing to follow me." Seeing her impatient expression, Shen Tingjiao was also in a dilemma. The queen went out to hunt in the palace, which was unprecedented in ancient times.How would the guy in the court grind his teeth?Thinking of this, he couldn't help persuading him softly: "Zhu Li, now it's snowing heavily, and the horse can't run steadily. When the weather gets warmer, I'll take you there, okay?" Yin Zhuli inevitably showed some disappointment, and Shen Tingjiao took her back into his arms, comforting her again.How could he not know that she didn't like this deep palace.He touched her face, and suddenly smiled again: "I'm just kidding you, okay, tomorrow we'll go hunting in the royal hunting ground." Yin Zhuli turned to look at him, he smiled beautifully, like the red sun reflecting the snow.Yin Zhuli sighed slightly: "Forget it, if you go, those old fellows will inevitably nag you again." She stood up and kissed his lips, it was still dark, and the color of those lips reflected the candle flames , "Then you can accompany me to Tianlange to enjoy the plum blossoms at night." Shen Tingjiao naturally responded: "I will come to accompany you earlier at night." Yin Zhuli nodded, first made an embarrassing request, and waited for him to make up his mind, and then retreated to the next best thing. Even if he had something to do temporarily, he would remember this agreement first.She has long been familiar with the skills of negotiation. Outside the door, Chen Zhong was already urging him to wake up, Yin Zhuli got down on the couch and dressed him himself.He stood by the couch, looking at the hands that tied the laces of his boots.On those hands, the total annual income of at least ten years has flowed through the entire Daxing. Those hands once shook the Daying court, punished important officials, supported a new monarch, and almost changed a dynasty.But now, those hands are wearing boots for him, holding the knife is only for repairing plums, and holding the pen is just for posting.How could she like such a place? His heart tightened, and then he felt that every queen has come here like this, maybe she will get used to it slowly, right? Yin Zhuli sent him out, and he pushed her back into the room: "It's cold outside, continue to sleep. I will come to accompany Ai to admire the plum blossoms at night." Chen Zhong still saluted respectfully, Yin Zhuli nodded slightly, the corners of his lips slightly Pick, half a smile but not a smile. At the time of You, Shen Tingjiao really came to Zhaohua Hall to pick her up, and then ordered someone to drive Tianlan Pavilion.The two walked hand in hand, the winter plum blossoms and the snow falling, there were no extra palace servants, so Chen Zhong followed from afar. After entering the Tianlan Pavilion, Shen Tingjiao was stunned, the people from Jiaoshu Palace who greeted him in the palace.He frowned slightly, although he didn't want Yin Zhuli to meet the Empress Dowager He face to face, he still didn't want to spoil Yin Zhuli's interest, and still led her into the room. Tianlan Pavilion has a built-in greenhouse for growing various flowers.Today's palace people mainly display plum blossoms of various colors, and the money and green calyx plums are the most eye-catching. The crystal bead curtain can be lifted open, and the fragrance of flowers can't wait to rush to the face, refreshing. Empress Dowager He had already prepared some wine and fruit, and when she saw Shen Tingjiao approaching, she also showed a kindness in her eyes: "The emperor is here, sit down." Shen Tingjiao held Yin Zhuli's hand and sat down on the main seat, and the palace servants began to serve the dishes.The hot tub was overheated, warming the midwinter wind.Yin Zhuli raised his glass, but when he saw the flowers blooming one after another, competing for splendor, it suddenly felt like spring. The Empress Dowager He's eyes stayed on Shen Tingjiao, Shen Tingjiao made a toast according to the ceremony, and then narrated some gossip. She said with a smile: "There are flowers and wine, how can there be no singing and dancing?" She clapped three times, and the silk music gradually began, A group of dancers in white gauze dresses entered the hall while dancing the lotus leaf dance.Because in front of the Empress Dowager Feng, the dress and dance steps are mainly elegant and dignified.Shen Tingjiao was an absurd prince when he was a child, wandering around in the market, he could be regarded as seeing all the beauty in the world, how could he take this seriously. But he didn't want to spoil the fun of the two of them. Seeing that the Empress Dowager He had never provoked, Yin Zhuli was quite at peace, and the atmosphere during the meeting was rarely harmonious. But Shen Tingjiao misunderstood Yin Zhuli. The reason why she was quiet was that she was smiling and looking forward to the beauty's appearance.Sure enough, after a short time of dancing, the sound of the qin gradually faded away, and after all the dancers, a beautiful woman in a red dance dress appeared, who was that Tibetan poem yesterday? This red dress is too eye-catching, and her dancing skills are not bad, as soon as she appeared, she overwhelmed the audience.Shen Tingjiao is not stupid, if he said that he still can't see the intention of Queen Mother He at this time, then he is pretending to be stupid.He buried his head in the wine, with a look of displeasure on his face, hindering Empress Dowager He from having a seizure. So during the whole banquet, he kept his eyes on his nose and his heart, no matter how hard he tried to please the Tibetan poem, he never even lifted his eyelids. When he left Tianlan Pavilion, Shen Tingjiao didn't look good, and Yin Zhuli, the accomplice, was also a little embarrassed.He strode forward, Yin Zhuli touched his nose and followed him consciously.Shen Tingjiao waited until she walked into the Zhaohua Palace before he became furious: "You really want to push me to other women's bed?" Yin Zhuli thought about it and couldn't admit it to death, so he looked calm: "How do I know that the queen mother is here to recommend a beauty? Why don't you think about it? I am a queen and feel uncomfortable, so why make yourself an enemy?" ?!" Shen Tingjiao wanted to find something to beat her up, but he couldn't find anything suitable, so he took the plum blossom in the vase and slapped her hard: "Bastard! I promised to go to Tianlan Pavilion with you yesterday, don't you?" Speaking out, the queen mother will be so well prepared?" Yin Zhuli didn't make a sound, he slapped her again, the cold plum fragrance overflowed slightly, and the falling flowers scattered all over: "Anyway, you don't want me to come here, I just don't come here in the future!" He threw the plum blossom branch and left Zhaohua Hall with an angry face.Yin Zhuli touched her nose again, Tianxin tugged at her sleeve, and lowered her voice: "Your Majesty, hurry up and persuade the king!" Qing Wan was also a little anxious: "The master!" Yin Zhuli picked up the cane sullenly, without making a sound.As a result, before the second watch, a eunuch came to report the news - saying that the king had gone to Qifeng Palace. All the palace people turned pale with shock, as if they had encountered something extraordinary, they all went to Yin Zhuli's side.By the time the tenth court lady Zihan came in, Yin Zhuli was already overwhelmed by the disturbance, so she lifted a small table and said, "I said, are you still finished? He went to sleep with Qu Lingyu, I know understood!" Unexpectedly, this irritability soon fell into the ears of others, and there were rumors that the empress overturned the tables and chairs, yelled at the servants, beat the dogs and scolded the chickens... she almost hanged her neck with a three-foot white silk. Yin Zhuli is not in a hurry - even if he gets to Qu Lingyu's place, what can he do! She set up the chessboard by herself, now Fu Chaoying holds a heavy army in the court, Shen Tingjiao is single and weak, and he is called the Son of Heaven, but he is actually troubled internally and externally.But if Xue Chengyi, the Marquis of Anchang, was brought in... he was stationed at the border on Qu Tianji's behalf, and now the Da Yue Clan did not dare to invade each other for a short period of time, if Shen Tingjiao wins over him, he would just be able to check and balance with the Fu Clan. It is undoubtedly the best way to win Marquis Anchang and marry Xue Zangshi, but how could Marquis Anchang be willing to let his beloved daughter bow down to a queen who was born in a merchant?If you want to show your sincerity, you should show your sincerity. The best strategy is to make Xue Tibetan poems as the empress. As the head of the state, Marquis Anchang must serve Shen Tingjiao wholeheartedly.After all, the Yin family is a family of merchants, and they cannot support an emperor. Yin Zhuli tensed, thinking to himself if he was sitting on this golden seat, what choice would he make now? Put the original queen into the cold palace, establish a new queen, after the foundation is solid, and welcome the old, set up the East and West Palaces, and the two queens will rule together.This is considered more conscientious.If someone has no conscience and secretly executes the old empress, then the Yin family has the Yin family to support them, so there will be no changes in the short term. However, after the extermination of the old empress, the Yin family must dare to be angry and dare not speak out because they care about the lives of the clansmen. After establishing a new one by yourself, you will never have to worry about the future.Within two months, the imperial power is expected to be in hand.Although he was a bit of a jerk, but when he thought about it carefully, he would be dead if he succeeded, let alone an emperor through the ages?Yin Zhuli picked up the white piece and thought about it for a while, and found that he was studying how to calculate himself, so he couldn't help but hit his left hand with his right hand, and threw the piece back into the chess box. The next day, in Jiaoshu Palace, Empress Dowager He was chanting scriptures, and someone from the palace came to report that the Empress Dowager came to pay her respects.Empress Dowager He was a little puzzled—this fellow Yin Zhuli, thank God for not making her restless, why did he come to greet her on a whim? Thinking is thinking like this, but people want to see it.She ordered Xiuchun, a court lady, to invite Yin Zhuli to the palace, and she adjusted her dress and was about to leave.When Yin Zhuli saw her, he just saluted slightly, and Empress Dowager He didn't care about her, and went straight to the point: "The empress has always been a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so please tell me the reason for coming here today." Yin Zhuli looked around, Empress Dowager He understood, she was not worried about Yin Zhuli playing tricks in her own palace, she just dismissed everyone around her, Yin Zhuli then said slowly: "Xue Zang Is the poem still in the Empress Dowager's Palace?" Empress Dowager He coughed dryly, she was really embarrassed about this matter, she had already promised Xue Chengyi this matter when she summoned Xue Zangshi to the palace, but Shen Tingjiao was not moved at all.If this time is not successful, Xue Chengyi will inevitably be offended. When will the political power in the court be stable? Why Yin Zhuli didn't understand her situation, the smile on his face remained undiminished: "Actually, the queen mother doesn't have to worry, the king is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, if..." Empress Dowager He's eyes moved slightly: "What does the empress mean...is to make cooked rice from raw rice? But if the king is still unwilling, I'm afraid it will make the old minister's teeth feel cold." Yin Zhuli's expression was dull: "The queen mother let Xue Zangshi go back in a disgruntled manner, and the old officials in the court will not be disgusted?" Empress Dowager He stared brightly: "Why did you do this?" Yin Zhuli smiled slightly: "Mother, I am the king's wife, and you are her mother. We are the ones who depend on each other and share weal and woe. What's more, I have devoted my heart and soul to him no less than you." Empress Dowager He looked a little slow, in fact, no matter whether she believed in Yin Zhuli or not, she could only try what Yin Zhuli did: "So... just do as you said." Shen Tingjiao hadn't come to Zhaohua Hall for four or five days, and Yin Zhuli took that Xue Zangshi into the hall. She was able to get along with anyone, and she could chat with Xue Zangshi about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. , but also mixed with acquaintances.Yin Zhuli knew Xue Chengyi's old background. In the past few days, all the palace people in Zhaohua Palace were feeling uneasy, but the people in Qifeng Palace had a bit of embarrassment, walking outside with their heads held high, like proud roosters.But in the afternoon, Shen Tingjiao finally came over. Yin Zhuli was very honest this time and didn't make him angry again.He had dinner with Yin Zhuli, and he remained silent without saying a word.Yin Zhuli held the vegetables for him awkwardly. After a long time, he finally said, "You'd better settle down for me, and next time, I..." Yin Zhuli hurriedly answered, "Your Majesty will copy the entire family of the courtiers and concubines." Shen Tingjiao put down the silver chopsticks heavily and snorted coldly.Yin Zhuli pulled him into his arms with a salivating face, but he was so angry that he still reached out to brush her away.Yin Zhuli continued to work hard, he snuggled into her arms angrily, but he lifted some meat dishes to her plate, she likes meat, and she doesn't like any meal. After the meal, the people in Zhaohua Palace were very winking and put away the cups and plates early.After freshening up, Shen Tingjiao followed Yin Zhuli into the room, Yin Zhuli extinguished all the candles, and undressed Shen Tingjiao in the dark.Shen Tingjiao was not difficult to coax, although she was still unhappy, she let her undress. When she was on the couch, Shen Tingjiao turned over and held her down, signaling that he would come by himself tonight.Yin Zhuli has no objection either, it's better not to offend him at this time. He gently caressed Yin Zhuli's skin, Yin Zhuli was very happy with this kind of rubbing, so he let out a low hum and allowed him to move.His fingertips are floating around, Yin Zhuli is not as soft as an ordinary woman's, the touch has a special taste. Yin Zhuli still reached out to touch the small porcelain bottle under the pillow, Shen Tingjiao held her hand eagerly, his voice was a little hoarse: "No!" The foreplay lasted for a long time, he was always lukewarm, Yin Zhuli could feel that he was different tonight from usual.When the latex melted, Shen Tingjiao was not satisfied, and whispered in her ear: "Call me!" Yin Zhuli said neatly, "Your Majesty!" Shen Tingjiao patted her on the head: "Name!" Yin Zhuli hurriedly changed his address: "Shen Tingjiao." Shen Tingjiao was a little angry, and he couldn't help aggravating his actions: "Don't mix up your first and last names, and your voice should be softer!" Yin Zhuli suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, don't you understand if you just say that you are a concubine?" After saying that, she actually yelled, Shen Tingjiao's face was thin, and now his face was flushed like a haze: "You shameless person!" The only response to him was a shallow groan.This love affair lasted for a long time, the two were sweating profusely, Shen Tingjiao was so satisfied, he hugged her and didn't want to move.Yin Zhuli was lying beside him, his eyes were full of the night, but he could not see his fingers.Only the faint fragrance of dragon birth lingered on him. "Tingjiao." Yin Zhuli called out. Shen Tingjiao liked her calling her own name very much, so she couldn't help but softly responded: "Huh?" Yin Zhuli hugged him sideways: "Tianxin and Liankang beside me have a good relationship since childhood. Now that I am in the palace, I don't need extra people to wait on me. Why don't I give Tianxin out of the palace?" Shen Tingjiao was in a very good mood at this time, so this trivial matter was naturally out of the question, Yin Zhuli put his face on his forehead, and lazily said: "Actually, you and I imagined differently, in the future... if there is a chance, you really may be A generation of Mingjun in Daxing." Shen Tingjiao is greedy for the warmth of her body, her blood is hot, and her body temperature in winter is higher than that of ordinary people: "What do you imagine me like?" Yin Zhuli thought hard for a while: "Maybe it's a concubine in the harem who spends all day eating, drinking and having fun, not doing business, close to villains but far away from virtuous ministers, well, her ears are soft, and she can't listen to the wind around her pillow. Anyway, she is a golden jade Besides, defeat..." Before she finished speaking, Shen Tingjiao had already punched him: "Are you disappointed with my current appearance?" Yin Zhuli thought for a while again: "It's not disappointment, it feels like taking a puppy home and growing into a big bad wolf. Although the value is much higher than before, there are always people who miss it." Disappointed." Shen Tingjiao laughed back in anger: "You thought I was a puppy at the beginning?" He came over coldly, it would be easy for Yin Zhuli to suppress him, but she lay still, chatting and laughing as usual: "Where is it, even if you are a dog, Your Majesty, you are still a wolf dog..." "Yin, Zhu, Li!" Shen Tingjiao buried himself down, covering his open mouth with his lips.I don't know when it started, he gradually became difficult to control himself in front of her. The next morning, before dawn, Shen Tingjiao had already gotten up.Yin Zhuli was lying on the couch, Chen Zhong came in and lit candles, and dressed Shen Tingjiao.After Shen Tingjiao finished dressing, he turned around and saw that she seemed to be asleep, so he lifted the gauze curtain and kissed her again.Chen Zhong just lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it, but Yin Zhuli hugged his neck, kissed him deeply again and asked lazily, "Can't you make it through the night?" She has had a good night's sleep recently, her cheeks are full of blush, and her eyes are even brighter.Shen Tingjiao's heart fluttered, and his voice was still a little angry, but he couldn't hide the affection in it: "This harem is just such a place, where else can I go if I don't come here?" After answering, he put down the gauze tent, Yin Zhuli Yongjin was sitting alone in the tent, thinking about tonight, he felt a little bit reluctant.It's like giving away something you love.But she has never had the habit of fetishizing, and she only decides what to choose based on her purpose.She could bear Tang Yin's death, let alone other things. At noon, she released Tianxin out of the palace, and took two sets of identical palace clothes, one for Xue Zangshi and one for herself.She was very calm about doing such a shameless thing: "If he comes over at night, you hide in the tent, and the lights are not lit in the room, and you and I have the same hair, and wear the same style of clothes, it will be extremely difficult for him to notice." After all, Xue Zangshi is a lady of every family, and she is not as sympathetic to doing this kind of thing as Yin Zhuli. "Empress, this... this is really out of courtesy..." Yin Zhuli patted her hand with a solemn expression: "Miss Xue, after this matter, you will be the master of the harem, and Yin has only one request." Xue Tibetan poems were flattered: "My empress, I don't dare to take Tibetan poems, please tell me, my lady." Yin Zhuli looked deeply: "The people in the Zhaohua Palace are just the author's job of serving people. This is a dangerous situation, and His Majesty will definitely anger them. Only you can keep them safe by speaking out. They are greatly appreciated by your help." Well, in the future, I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly, and you can also make a generous and benevolent impression in front of Your Majesty." Xue Tibetan poems don't understand: "My lady, forgive Tibetan poems for speaking bluntly, why do you want to do this now that you have a holy favor?" Yin Zhuli flicked the falling plums on his clothes with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Because I don't love him, I don't want this grace." At night, after Shen Tingjiao finished approving the scriptures, he still stayed overnight in Zhaohua Palace.During the dinner, Yin Zhuli was very attentive, which made his previous unhappiness disappear.When I entered the room, there was still no light.Shen Tingjiao held Yin Zhuli's hand: "Why is there no lamp?" Yin Zhuli fooled him casually: "I don't like the smoke in the room." Shen Tingjiao frowned slightly, and immediately told Chen Zhong outside the door: "Tomorrow, remember to go to Chang Zhide, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, to see if there are any better-quality Xuanzhu in the library, and replace it for your mother." Chen Zhong bowed and agreed, and closed the door casually.Yin Zhuli put his arms around his waist, hugged him silently for a while in the dark, and said for a long time: "Is this more interesting?" Naturally, Shen Tingjiao would not disappoint her, so he also raised his arms to hug her. After a long time, Yin Zhuli poured half a cup of hot tea from the pot while groping, took a sip himself, and then fed it to Shen Tingjiao.Shen Tingjiao didn't doubt that he was there, and drank the remaining tea by himself.The two sat on the side of the couch, cuddled up and had a conversation. He felt that the hot tub was too hot, his mind was a little dizzy, and his throat was slightly dry, so he couldn't help but whispered: "Zi Li, it's getting late, go to bed early." Seeing that the dose of medicine was too light, Yin Zhuli couldn't help pouring another half cup of tea for him.Shen Tingjiao's health is not good, and the strong medicine hurts her body, so she naturally dare not be careless in prescribing the medicine.After drinking this cup of tea, Shen Tingjiao became even more dizzy, he leaned over to untie Yin Zhuli's clothes, Yin Zhuli took advantage of the gap between laughing and playing with him, buried himself under the couch, and disappeared into the night. Shen Tingjiao called her a few times, and couldn't help reaching out to touch the couch.After Nuannuan's female body was in his hands, he couldn't help but chuckled: "You bastard, hide away quickly!" The gauze gradually fell, and Shen Tingjiao's voice came through the thick darkness in a trance: "I know you are bored recently, when the scientific research is over, I will take you to hunt in the outskirts of the city." The wind and snow are blowing outside the house, and the house is full of spring colors. Yin Zhuli leaned over and jumped out of the window, while Chen Zhong was still waiting dutifully outside the room.She avoided him, and tried her best not to look back - why don't I just go hunting, after the event is over, I can go hunting wherever I like, and whoever takes care of me! As she thought this way, she waved away her faint gloom. Luo Wei hangs down, Shen Tingjiao's mind is dizzy, but he knows something is wrong - the woman's body is very fragrant, and Yin Zhuli never uses spices, and she practices martial arts, her muscles are strong, while the woman on the couch has soft hands.He didn't know what was going on, but he was vigilant in his heart, and immediately stopped his hands. His head hurt a little, he wanted to call Chen Zhong outside the door, but his throat was extremely thirsty.The woman was just huddled in his arms before, and she began to unbutton his clothes not long after. He held the wrist, and his lungs burned with anger—Yin Zhuli, Yin Zhuli! ! Yin Zhuli smoked out all the jewelry he had brought into the palace and put them on. There were more than twenty bracelets on both arms, nearly thirty rings on ten fingers, and more than ten necklaces on his neck. He put all the hair ornaments and jade pendants in his arms.After finishing these things, she lay lazily under a plum tree drinking wine, the heavy snow came and went, and there were still fine ice flakes floating in the sky at this time.The snow color lightened the night, and she leaned against the plum tree, feeling relieved. The smell of alcohol surged up, but I didn't feel the sky cold.She leaned against the plum tree and fell asleep, the plum blossoms and ice flowers were half buried in the bright red palace dress embroidered with a hundred birds and phoenixes with gold thread.In the dream, the grass was like smoke, the horseshoes splashed the fresh green, and among the sparse shadows in the forest, someone whispered softly: "Sauvignon Blanc, in Chang'an...beauties are like flowers separated from the clouds. There is a high sky of green and dark above, and waves of Lushui below... " She was startled suddenly, and when she opened her eyes, it was already bright.In front of him, Shen Tingjiao stood quietly, showing no signs of happiness or anger. He was wearing bright yellow imperial clothes, his long hair was combed in an orderly manner, and his exquisite facial features lost the intimacy of the past because of the bright yellow background, showing some alienated majesty. The frightened look on Chen Zhong's face behind him continued to wink at Yin Zhuli.The wind and rain are about to come, and the mountain wind is full of buildings.Yin Zhuli could only smile: "It's the hour, why hasn't His Majesty come to court yet?" Shen Tingjiao didn't smile, his expression was like a stone sculpture squatting, without any trace of emotion: "Delegate Empress Wenxu to Shuiping Palace," he slowly turned sideways, only then did Yin Zhuli realize that standing behind him was a woman in plain clothes. Xue Tibetan poems.He shook Xue Zangshi's hand, and his voice was actually smiling, as clear as icy flowers, "Order the Minister of Rites, Yue Huaiben, to choose a day to confer Xue Zangshi as a virtuous concubine, and wait for the empress to rule the harem." Yin Zhuli was still scratching his nose, that Xue Zangshi seemed to have really pleaded for the palace servants in Zhaohua Palace, Shen Tingjiao did not offend them.Yin Zhuli got up, she slept under the tree for a long time, her clothes were soaked in snow water, the wine was over, she knew it was freezing cold. Shuiping Palace is a cold palace, Yin Zhuli has been in the palace for a long time, but has never had the chance to see her.Not long after, Zhang Qing brought two guards over, Yin Zhuli naturally had nothing to say, so he prepared to go with them.Qing Wan wanted to go together, but was stopped by Shen Tingjiao: "Shui Ping Palace is a quiet place, and the Empress always likes to think about the gains and losses, so I can think about it now." There was still no anger in his voice, it was just aloof from above, This is the emperor, all the ups and downs of favor and disgrace are only in his words. Yin Zhuli had nothing else to say, but Shen Tingjiao still had something to say: "Your majesty has been thinking a lot lately, you should cultivate your words and minds, so as not to fall into the devil's way. Let me tell you that in the future, you are not allowed to touch any food and beverages sent to Shuiping Palace. A trace of greasy smell!" "Hello!" Yin Zhuli just said a word before being taken away by the guards. Shen Tingjiao was still holding Xue Zangshi's hand, his voice was lowered, revealing a bit of tenderness: "Where does Aifei want to live? I'm thinking that Yongshou Palace is not bad." Xue Zangshi lowered her eyes, showing a pitiful look: "Your Majesty, my concubine...the queen was relegated because of her concubine, how can the concubine He De rule the harem? The concubine only wants to stay in Zhaohua The Buddhist hall of the palace, pray for the empress." Shen Tingjiao was taken aback, he is a transparent person, how could he not know the meaning of this Tibetan poem - does she actually want to live in this Zhaohua Palace? The smile on the corners of his lips slowly bloomed, bright as a spring flower: "Okay, since my concubine has this kind of heart, let's live in Zhaohua Palace from now on." As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhong's expression changed, and Zhang Qing also knelt on the ground: "Father, the empress mother has not been removed from the throne, how can..." Shen Tingjiao looked back with a smile, and said in an elegant and gentle voice, "You really love her." The Zhaohua Palace changed to a new owner overnight, but the harem remained the same.The emperor's heart is the most unpredictable. The people in the palace have seen too many ups and downs, and they will stop making a fuss after getting used to it. In contrast, the court hall was much more lively - most of the ministers could only congratulate, praising Emperor Jiayu's far away from treacherous concubines and his respect for women's virtues. 便是远在边关的薜承义也修书过来，一则自然是代女叩谢圣恩，二则也向沈庭蛟隐透了依附之意。第三么，自然是要向沈庭蛟施压的，文煦皇后虽被打入冷宫，后位却未除，随时有请出的可能。而且这个女人不可小视，薜承义心里也很清楚——不除去她，凭自己的女儿，休想坐稳这后宫之主的位置。 古贤者能士对君主的评价，大抵是不能容下一丝污垢，他们直觉地认为独宠一个女子的就定然是个昏君。女子不擅惑，如何能得到帝王之宠？而擅惑的女子如何不是妖邪之物？一个宠爱奸妃的帝王，能英明得到哪里去？ 深宫中的事，外人不知，却更容易惹人垢病。 当然，宫中新宠的热闹喜庆是传不到水萍宫的。殷逐离随着两个侍卫一路行来，见到这宫殿也不由地傻了眼——宫室破败，荒草横生。仿佛是两极交界，富丽堂皇的天家与这里没有半点关联。 侍卫将殷逐离赶进去，殷逐离瞪在眼睛在院子里发呆。大凡冷宫，大抵都住些前朝幸存的女眷、先帝未留下子嗣的嫔妃、以及老无所依的宫人。可是这里感觉不到半点生气，像是深秋时未落的秋叶，连挣扎也不曾，只待着归于尘土。 她缓缓踏进去，院墙塌了一半，残垣亦是摇摇欲坠的模样。地面未经铺砌，此时冬雪将融未融，踩下去满脚的泥泞。她突然理解为什么沈庭蛟想要护着曲凌钰，这种地方，长生不如夕死。 她被安排在西边的一处房间里，冰冷的宫室，床都生了蛀虫，暖盆是休想了，连被子都只有薄薄的一条——这宫中的人，有许多是过不了这个寒冬的。 殷逐离见人行远了，不由便想四处溜达一下，这宫中也没住几个人，沈晚宴改朝换代之后，前北昭嫔妃、宫人一个未留，全部杀死。而大荥一直内忧外患，他也不曾耽于享乐，是以妻妾不多。这里的大部分嫔妃大都是沈庭遥留下的。 殷逐离缓缓探视，这些女子到些时间不长，然而如今已是形容枯槁，只是依稀间仍可见初时的美貌。她们中有人识得她的，只恨不能将她凌迟碎刮。她自然也不会惧怕几个女人，待每间屋子都查看过，终于寻到了些书藉。 年头太久了，纸页都已泛黄，上面自己都已经不清。她也不介意，掏出随身携带的火折子，找出一个也不知道装什么的罐子，就将书页俱都撕了——先把衣服烤干再说，冻死了！ 而到未时末，她饿得肚子咕咕叫，方才见到一个太监提着食盒姗姗来迟。宫中几个女人都拥了上去，殷逐离不好意思去挤，只得等到最后。她走上前，就见到一碗薄粥。说是粥真是抬举它了，这就是一碗汤里错撒了几粒米而且还已经凉透了。 本来有一小碟咸菜来着，但因她最后，咸菜也没有了。殷逐离拢着手，探头探脑望了几次，那小太监便不耐烦了：“看什么看，爱吃不吃！” 他转身欲走，殷逐离这个人适应环境还是挺快的，立时笑哈哈地上前拦住他：“公公莫气。”她将自己手上一个镯子递了过去，那太监见东西成色好，脸色微微缓和了些：“什么事？” 殷逐离仍是哈哈一笑：“不知公公尊姓大名？” 那太监冷哼：“不敢当，您虽被贬至水萍宫，可名义上仍是皇后，奴才叫周鹿衔。” 殷逐离点头：“好名字，周公公，我如今的境况您也知道，这宫中主子落了难，还不如宫人呢。”那周鹿衔本就是不平同人不同命的，见这些贵人落了难，难免幸灾乐祸、落井下石。如今见她态度诚恳，终也升了一丝怜悯之意：“有话快说，没事奴才可没闲功夫在这耽搁。” 殷逐离朗笑着拍了拍他的肩，拿另一个手镯在他跟前晃了一晃：“周公公，您替这皇家做事，无非也就是为了这些个黄白之物，可是若真论富有，您说这大荥，谁最富有呢？” 那周鹿衔突然记起——是了，这家伙虽然可能会被废除后位，但她可是富贵城的大当家。这样一想，他立时又变了态度：“娘娘，您可是有什么事差遣小的么？” 殷逐离将另一个镯子递给他，浅笑：“周公公，银子对于殷某来说，确实是九牛一毛。只是公公，在下一向是无肉不欢的，你看这一碗粥……” 那周鹿衔有些为难：“娘娘，王上可是亲自下了旨的，尤其是您的饮食里头，一丝油腥也不能有！” 殷逐离笑容顿收：“那好吧，镯子还我！” 周鹿衔万分不舍地掂了掂手中两只镯子，殷逐离带进宫里的东西，不便宜。他一咬牙，道：“奴才这就给娘娘弄得入得进嘴的东西。” 见他跑远，殷逐离缩了缩肩，往房里走。没走几步，就听断垣边有人唤她：“殷大当家！殷大当家！” 殷逐离转过头便看见一个男孩，不过十三四岁，长得十分清秀。她有些好奇，那孩子却趴在墙头，一个劲儿冲她挥手。她行将过去，那孩子吃力地伸长手臂，递过来两个油纸包：“大当家，给你。” 殷逐离接在手里，见一包是煮熟切碎的牛肉，另一包却是干果蜜饯。她疑心重，这些东西如何吃得？抬头却见那孩子笑容清澈：“您别想了，您不认识我。” 殷逐离开始有了些兴趣：“那你为何要送我这些？” 那孩子眼睛里映着隆冬积雪，清澈明净：“您记不记得前年，您和斐大掌柜在河南为粮价的事儿干架？我认得你！” 殷逐离苦想了一阵，终是笑着摇头——斐关山不是个东西，一遇天灾就囤积居奇、哄抬粮价。而殷家祖训，但凡灾年，菜肴珍馐可抬价，柴米油盐不得哄抬，若遇天寒，绫罗绸缎可抬价，棉麻柴碳绝不可哄抬。若遇疾病瘟疫，人参鹿茸可抬价，汤石医药须贱卖。笼统到一块，就是绝对欢迎赚富人的钱，但绝对不能玩穷人的命。 殷家祖宗说若做好了这两件事，便可纵横商场。 可是前年的事殷逐离是真记不清了，这些年就为这些个破事，殷家哪年不和斐家干几架？她哪里还记得。 那孩子的笑容太阳一般耀目：“娘说如果没有殷家，大荥好多人都要饿死。大当家，我娘说您不是奸妃。” 殷逐离拿着两包牛肉和蜜饯，一脸无所谓：“你叫什么名字？” 那孩子一笑，露出白亮亮的门牙：“我叫朝喜。” 殷逐离朝他挥挥油纸包：“谢谢啦，朝喜。”
