The queen is a little cowardly

Chapter 23 Sound

King Zhongshan was ignorant, but Shi Sheng was about to drive away the guests, so he ordered Danqing: "Send King Zhongshan out of the palace."

"A Sheng, Empress..." King Zhongshan was amazed by the speed at which Shi Sheng turned his face. One moment he was pulling himself to talk and laugh, and the next moment he was able to drive people away.

Yan Ru pursed her lips and smiled, pretending not to notice, and sat on a chair quietly sipping tea.

She seemed to be free, but she was thinking hard in her mind. In history, the prince was not abolished, but the emperor was unwell and had to abdicate and pass the throne to the prince.

If the prince is really going to be abolished, how can the prince and the noble concubine let it go, I'm afraid it will set off a bloody storm.

Right now, the Yan family should be removed from the Prince's camp.

While thinking about it, King Zhongshan was invited out of the palace by Danqing.Shi Sheng leaned in front of her, "Do you have something on your mind?"

"I had a dream that the king of Zhongshan proclaimed himself emperor." Yan Ru raised his eyelids, and Shi Sheng's exquisite facial features were reflected in his calm eyes.

Shi Sheng frowned, his little face immediately turned pale, "I'm afraid your dream is haunted."

Yan Ru looked up at her and said seriously, "What I said is true."

Shi Sheng didn't believe it, "Are you jealous?"

Every time King Zhongshan appeared, Yan Ru would more or less lose control of her emotions, and something was wrong just now, plus what she said now, she must be jealous.

Yan Ru's cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't pay any attention to her, but suppressed her emotions and said, "The king of Zhongshan is entering the court at this time, and he needs help from time to time. Think about it, what is your majesty's intention?"

When Shi Sheng listened, his eyelashes trembled slightly, which was indeed a little weird.She told Yan Ru: "Your Majesty only has half a year left."

"Half a year?" Shi Sheng was startled, there is still a lot of time in the history books, why is it only half a year.

History books may not be correct.She could only comfort herself like this, no matter what, she had to take the Yan family out.

Shi Sheng said to himself, "Actually, it will be beneficial to you and me to live longer, Your Majesty. Whoever the new emperor is, he cannot be a crown prince. Now I will pass on the news that your majesty wants to be deposed too young, to several important officials, I just want to test the prince's reaction. If he doesn't move, His Majesty will depose the prince, and if he moves, it will be a crime of regicide."

Yan Ru was silent, but Shi Sheng's words reminded her that the prince would not do nothing.

She smiled, had an idea in her mind, and asked Shi Sheng: "Where did you go just now?"

"Walk around." Seeing her laugh, Shi Sheng laughed too, feeling comfortable all over. She saw the box given by the emperor and picked it up casually. Inside was a pair of blood jade bracelets.She took out the bracelet and looked at it against the skylight. The quality of the blood jade was excellent, not to mention the luster, the color was evenly distributed, it was a treasure.

Shi Sheng was happy, and handed one to Pei Yanru, "You and I each have one."

"Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will be unhappy?" Yan Ru took it over, a blood jade bracelet was priceless, and the emperor gave it generously.

Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows, "He won't care about these details. In fact, His Majesty has never cared about the affairs of the harem, which only fuels the imperial concubine's arrogance. You see, he still doesn't care about it now."

Between the words, the girl was a little proud, her eyes were very bright.

Yan Ru chuckled unknowingly, the affection in her eyes became a little bit stronger, and she took the initiative to reach out to hold her, holding her fingers tightly, and she felt at ease, "Your Majesty is benevolent, you are a rare and good emperor, you and I should be more cautious, I decide Go back to the East Palace first. After the event is settled, you go and beg His Majesty to keep me."

"You still want to go?" Shi Sheng withdrew his hand suddenly, with anger in his eyes, "You want to go back to the man that much?"

Yan Ru took a deep breath, she knew that Shi Sheng would be unhappy, but she never expected such a big reaction, she didn't want Shi Sheng to be unhappy, but she couldn't think of a suitable way.

"Shi Sheng, although Changchun Palace is good, but I am the crown princess and you are the empress, you should know the consequences."

The light in Shi Sheng's eyes dimmed, and he said with a sneer, "Go back and don't talk to me again."

After saying that, she went to the outside and called Danqing loudly: "Send the princess back to the East Palace."

Danqing, who had just sent King Zhongshan back, was stunned, "Now?"

"Now." Shi Sheng gritted her teeth, and after giving the order, she did not forget to look at Yan Ru, the anger in her eyes turned into powerlessness.After a glance, she didn't look much and left in a hurry.

Danqing was at a loss, she quietly looked at the princess and concubine in the palace, "Your Majesty."

"You don't have to be afraid, I'll go back now, you go and prepare the car curtain." Yan Ru suppressed her emotions, looking a little unhappy.

Danqing didn't dare to disobey the wishes of the two masters, hurriedly prepared the carriage, and hurriedly reported to the emperor what happened in Changchun Palace.

The little servant hurried to spread the message, but King Zhongshan hadn't left yet, so he was startled when he heard the words: All the affairs of the Changchun Palace are under the eyes of the emperor?

The emperor asked, "Is there something wrong between the two of you?"

"I don't know, I just heard that the queen is very unhappy."

The emperor chuckled, "The empress has a strong temper, and Yan Ru is not only prudent, but also very measured. Since you want to go back, you tell the prince to meet you." After finishing speaking, he paused, thinking of some bad things, and then said : "It's fine if the prince doesn't want to."

King Zhongshan took the opportunity to say: "Why is the prince unwilling? I see that the princess is dignified and beautiful, and she is much better than Ah Lan. Why can't the prince see her?"

"If you have someone in your eyes, how can you see others again." The emperor sneered, with a bit of displeasure in his words.

"The prince is a little ignorant." King Zhongshan followed suit with a smile.

Hearing this, the emperor became even more unhappy, and ordered: "Let the prince go to meet you, if you don't want to, you don't have to be the prince."

The king of Zhongshan frowned frequently. This way, the prince would be even more dissatisfied with the princess. She wanted to explain, but the servant had already left.

She sighed a long time and said in a low voice: "Brother Huang is very dissatisfied with the crown prince?"

The emperor was silent, and he would only hate the rebellious son who killed his father and seized the throne.

The king of Zhongshan didn't dare to say any more, but he had some thoughts in his mind: the empress's words about abolishing the crown prince were probably true.

But there is one thing that makes people puzzled, the prince Fang got married, how could the prince be abolished, wouldn't he take Yan Xiang into consideration?

****

His Majesty decreed that the crown prince came to Changchun Palace to welcome the crown princess in person, Shi Sheng couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, and after seeing the crown prince, he was so angry that his heart ached.

The prince and the princess stood side by side. To show his affection, the prince personally helped the princess into the chariot.Yan Ru didn't refuse either, but supported him through the sleeves.

She turned her head and saw Shi Sheng standing on the road with a sad expression.

As the wind passed without a trace, Yan Ru felt dizzy for a while, and her heart beat extremely fast. An unknown force prompted her to let go of the prince's arm, and walked towards her.

Across the palace gate, the two looked at each other.

The prince didn't know why she went back again, he was impatient and couldn't show it on his face, so he said: "Prince Princess, it's getting late."

As if Yan Ru didn't hear it, she walked towards Shi Sheng numbly, five steps, three steps... She stopped in front of Shi Sheng.

Shi Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and joked: "You are far away from me, I feel uncomfortable."

"Me too." Yan Ru sighed softly, this was probably her retribution.

The light in Shi Sheng's eyes was blocked by Yan Ru, she squinted her eyes to look at the person in front of her, and asked in confusion, "What is it?"

In front of the prince, the two only had eyes for each other and no one else.

Standing under the chariot, the prince could not see the expressions of the two of them, but only saw the back of the princess.Seeing the closeness between the two, he felt like an outsider.

He urged: "Crown Princess."

Shi Sheng was already uncomfortable, and when she heard the man's voice, she immediately stared back, "What are you rushing to do, to see your concubine? Prince, Ah Lan committed a serious crime and deserves to be executed. You are covering up now, Ben The palace doesn't care, if the Crown Princess loses a strand of hair in the East Palace, the Shiyan family will tear down your East Palace, and they will kill you even more."

"You also heard that Bengong's behavior before entering the palace annoyed Bengong, and I will make you regret it."

The queen scolded angrily, causing the surrounding palace servants to hold their breath, especially the prince, who looked at the soft and beautiful girl in disbelief.

Was it the empress who said the vicious words just now?

He swallowed, and said with a sneer, "The empress is talking too much."

"The prince can try it." Shi Sheng said coldly, if he dared to touch Yan Ru, she would definitely mess with a dead dog man.

"There are many things in the East Palace, so I don't want to gossip with the queen anymore." The prince was aggrieved, but he had nothing to do with the queen, and cursed in a low voice: "Crazy."

The two of them didn't hear it, but Danqing heard it, she frowned, and dared not speak because of her status as the crown prince.

Shi Sheng and Yan Ru said a few words, and felt aggrieved that they couldn't kiss or hug in front of so many people.

Yan Ru held her wrist and said in a low voice, "Don't be angry, I will protect myself."

Shi Sheng was originally in a good mood, but when he heard this, he snorted, and immediately told Danqing: "See off the guests, close the door."

Yan Ru was obscure. After becoming a queen, her temper grew stronger. She had no choice but to salute in the direction Shi Sheng left, "Send off to the empress."

When he took five or six steps, Sheng paused, showing great momentum, and looked at the other party angrily: "You should call me queen mother."

Yan Ru: "..."

The prince became impatient, "Crown Princess."

Hearing the man's voice, Yan Ru was also a little restless, but she didn't hide her emotions and didn't show them. Instead, she walked to the prince, passed him directly, and boarded the chariot by herself.

Being ignored by her, the crown prince was even more aggrieved. He was so noble, he was the proud son of heaven, the future emperor, why did Yan Ru treat him like this?

"Crown Princess." He stretched out his hand and dragged the person off the chariot.

Yan Ru was careless and leaned towards the bottom of the car. Gong'e approached unexpectedly, exclaimed, and stretched out her hands to help.

Shi Sheng was not surprised when he heard the exclamation, turned around to look, and happened to see Yan Ru lying on the ground.

In an instant, she lifted her skirt and rushed over, regardless of her identities as the crown princess and empress.

There was chaos at the gate of Changchun Palace.

After Yan Ru fell to the ground, her forehead hit the footstool under the car, and it was suddenly purple. She raised her head to look, but there was a double shadow in front of her, and Shi Sheng's angry voice came from her ear, "The prince wants to kill you!" Wife, you should also go back and kill, you will do it at the gate of Changchun Palace, don't you take me seriously?"

The prince froze on the spot, showing a bit of uneasiness, "She fell down by herself."

Shi Sheng didn't believe it, and looked at the palace people around him, "Is that so?"

The palace people all belong to the East Palace, how dare they talk nonsense, and bowed their heads silently for a while.

Shi Sheng was angry and annoyed, but Yan Ru took her hand and said comfortingly: "Empress, don't be angry, I'm fine."

"Look, they're all swollen." Shi Sheng was angry and helpless, glared at the prince dryly, and dragged her back to Changchun Palace.Yan Ru refused, the two hugged each other, Shi Sheng's eyes turned red with anger, Yan Ru touched her eyes, "It's getting late, I should go."

"You get in the car, I'll watch." Shi Sheng choked out a sentence, his eyes fixed on the prince, "If you dare to touch her, I will chop off your hand."

The prince was embarrassed, he didn't understand, and he was annoyed by his impulsiveness, so he stopped arguing with the queen and ordered him to go back to the palace.

Shi Sheng was so angry that he almost rolled up his cuffs to beat someone, and he was sullen with himself, so he went back to his dormitory to rest sullenly.

****

The East Palace has always been the residence of the prince. Unlike the harem, the prince can manage it by himself.After the crown prince got married, the affairs of the East Palace were handed over to the crown prince.

Since returning to the palace that day, Yan Ruru said several times to the prince, but he still refused to let go of power, and A Lan still lived in the side hall of the prince well.

The servant girl was indignant, but she was helpless. She watched the crown princess being pushed over by a servant girl. She was overwhelmed and sent the news back to the Yan Mansion.

After Yan Xiang got the message, he felt uneasy for a long time, and after thinking about it all night, he took the initiative to find Shi Wei.

Shi Wei was followed by a small tail, Zhongshan King followed him all day long, Mr. Long and Mr. Short, and sent some good wine, calligraphy and paintings on weekdays, Shi Wei was overjoyed.When Yan Xiang found him, he was appreciating calligraphy and painting with King Zhongshan in the room.

Shi Wei frowned secretly when he heard the servant's report, and said to King Zhongshan: "Some small things happened in the mansion, Your Highness will take a look first, I will go back when I go."

"Sir, just go to work." King Zhongshan replied.

Shi Wei led his servants to leave the study in a hurry and go to the side hall. When he saw Yan Gao, he sneered and said, "Empty?"

Yan Gao aggrieved, "I agree to your request."

Shi Wei taunted a few words, but Yan Gao ignored them, the two closed the door and talked for a long time before Yan Gao left contentedly.

And the East Palace was busy with the emperor's grandson's full moon, the crown prince wanted to entertain the officials, but Yan Ru should not, the two argued a few words, and the crown prince left the east palace.

Yan Ru didn't care, but leaned on the soft couch as usual, quietly looking at the scenery outside, the maid was still upset, and said: "I don't know what the prince thinks, because of a maid who quarrels with you repeatedly, Your Majesty will Never mind."

"We live on our own." Yan Ru didn't care, the prince didn't have a brain, and thought he was affectionate, but he was just looking for death.

A cup of tea soup and a book were placed beside the soft couch.If no one disturbs, Yan Ru can stay quietly for an afternoon.

The only grandson of the emperor is the eldest grandson of the emperor. The prince couldn't help but want to hold a grand banquet and let everyone in the world know about it.

All purchases in the East Palace required the empress to look at them, and the steward of the East Palace begged to go to the Central Palace, and only then did Shi Sheng know that the prince's fool was looking for death.

She looked at the account book with a puzzled look on her face, and asked Danqing curiously, "Has he got a brain?"

Danqing didn't dare to answer.

Shi Sheng sneered for a while, read the account book from beginning to end, sighed, and asked Danqing: "Go and ask His Majesty what you mean, if you ask me, I will deal with Alan first, and then deal with Man Yue Banquet, but this is His Majesty's only grandson, I want to show some face."

The son doesn't have a brain, so let his father solve it.

Danqing understood, held the account book, and immediately went to ask His Majesty.

Shi Sheng continued to look at the account books. There were many palace affairs, and all the trivial matters needed to be reported once. There were also expenditures from various palaces, and the money flowed away like running water.

After reading the account books for a while, she felt tired, so she asked someone to prepare a cup of tea, and she took the opportunity to rest for a while.

When she got up again to deal with the palace affairs, Danqing came back, "Your Majesty, let the prince do it, you just need to nod."

When Sheng held her chin, Fenyan's cheeks shone with luster, her eyelashes trembled, and she muttered: "It feels like a pit."

"It doesn't matter, don't care, you hand out the token of the palace, and Donggong will give you whatever you want, and you don't need to ask me again."

Danqing took the order to do it.

After the Queen's order was issued, arrangements began to be made everywhere in the East Palace, and glazed lanterns were hung on the branches according to the order. Under the night sky, they were dazzling, comparable to the beauty of stars.

The light reflected in the corridor, just fell on Yan Ru's feet, Yan Ru raised his eyes to see, the glazed light was so beautiful.

The maid was resentful and muttered a few unpleasant words, Yan Ru walked towards the glazed lamp, the light enveloped her whole body, swaying like a goddess.

Yan Ru stepped on to touch the glazed lamp, and ordered: "Take it down."

The maid happily complied, "Quick, quick, take it down."

The servant took down the palace lantern, and Yan Ru took it over, holding half a bowl in the handle, and ordered: "You are not allowed to follow me."

There are lights everywhere in the East Palace, and you can see the road under your feet without lighting the lights, so the lights in Yan Ru's hand are useless.It wasn't until they crossed the threshold of the East Palace that the light dimmed suddenly, and the glazed lamp's light fully bloomed, illuminating the road under Yan Ru's feet.

The East Palace is independent from the palace, and the prince's order is required to enter and exit, and the guards are even stricter than the palace.

Yan Ru carried the palace lantern and the jade order, and walked straight to the harem.

There were no lights on the palace road, it was long and dark, Yan Ru's lamp became the only light in the surroundings, like the light of fireflies, flickering and flickering.

When the crown princess left the East Palace, no one noticed that the palace people were busy with the full moon banquet.

Yan Ru quietly walked to the Changchun Palace. When she was standing at the gate of the palace, she took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door, but found that there were lights approaching in the distance.

Ordinary palace people come and go, just like her, with only one lamp, but there are many lights nearby, which shows that they are the masters of the palace.

In order to avoid being discovered, she quickly hid in the darkness, while avoiding, while looking at who would come to the middle palace in the middle of the night.

Soon, the lights stopped at the gate of the palace, and Gao Ming helped the emperor get off the chariot.The emperor coughed against the wind, Gao Ming immediately covered him with the cloak, but the emperor refused to take it, "I'm not cold, go and spread the word."

Gao Ming immediately waved his hand to signal the waiter to go in and deliver the message first.

The emperor brushed Gao Ming's hand away, straightened his back, and stepped into the central palace as if nothing had happened.

Yan Ru looked at the reluctant emperor, and his heart raised his throat. The emperor may have reached the point where the oil is exhausted.

The figure of the emperor disappeared at the entrance of the central palace. After receiving the news, Shi Sheng in the palace rushed over and took the initiative to help him, "Why are you here?"

"Come and see you, lest Shi Xiang say that I don't give him face." The emperor's tone was indifferent, and his eyes fell on Shi Sheng, "How are you these days?"

"I'm fine. If others don't mess with me, I'll be fine." Shi Sheng smiled lowly.

The two emperors and queens crossed the threshold together and entered the sleeping hall, while the rest followed suit and waited outside the hall.

Shi Sheng supported the emperor to sit down, took the opportunity to lift his cuff and glanced at his wrist, the number on his wrist decreased.

The last time was in June, this time there are still two months.

What has His Majesty been up to these days?

Shi Sheng stood up straight, with a pink smile on his face, "Your Majesty seems to be in poor health, has the imperial physician ever sent you to see him?"

"Not busy." The emperor waved his hand, looked at Shi Sheng, and said, "I have been having nightmares many times recently, and I feel uneasy. The queen will go to the imperial temple to pray for blessings on my behalf."

"Pray for blessings? You should look for the imperial concubine." Shi Sheng became unhappy, "I've been feeling unwell recently, and I can't move around. It's really impossible."

The emperor looked at her: "What's wrong with the queen?"

Shi Sheng snorted twice, supported his forehead and said, "Since the princess left, I have felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and I often feel dizzy. I also called the imperial physician yesterday, and the imperial physician said that I am weak."

"The crown princess is your good medicine?" The emperor poked her on the forehead, "The more you talk, the more outrageous you will know nonsense. Since you said so, I promise you that the crown princess will go with you."

"Crown Princess?" Shi Sheng's eyes were bright, and he couldn't believe that the emperor would be so easy to talk to, but after he was happy, he was also thinking, did the emperor deliberately dismiss her?

A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, as gorgeous as a peony in the apse, stood in front of the emperor, with surprise in her clear eyes, the emperor looked at her lightly, and had his own contest in his heart, "If you want, you can Go, if you don't want to, you go alone."

Shi Sheng was not as stupid as before. After entering the palace, she learned to read words and expressions. Now, she looked at the emperor carefully, and the eyes of the emperor were calm, as deep and unmarked as an ancient well, and there was no other emotion.

Shi Sheng looked at it for a while, but he didn't see any tricks.

The emperor's thoughts are too deep, compared to Yan Xiang, he is more frightening.Shi Sheng understood the majesty of the emperor in a trance, because he thought the emperor was too simple, if he dismissed her, something big would happen.

However, if it comes, it will be safe, and she obeys the emperor's orders.

"Go, go with the Crown Princess, rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely pray well, and God will bless Your Majesty with a long life."

The emperor waved his hands, his brows and eyes were haggard and couldn't be concealed, and he talked to the empress, before leaving the central palace in the dark.

Shi Sheng was puzzled, the emperor was playing tricks, what exactly was he doing?

After racking her brains for a while, she still found nothing, her brain was not enough, if Yan Ru was there, she might have a solution.

"Danqing, Danqing, I want to take a bath."

"Shall I serve you?"

Shi Sheng jumped up from the couch, she looked at the woman at the door, her figure was graceful under the moonlight, and she was dressed in moon-white armor, which was especially gentle under the moonlight, especially the smile on her face was as soft as water.

"How did you come."

Surprised, Shi Sheng still pretended to be calm.

Yan Ru saw through but didn't say anything, handed the glazed lamp in his hand to Danqing, and closed the palace door after changing hands.

The voice was very soft, which still made Danqing feel uneasy, why did the princess close the palace door when she came over?

She looked at the gate of the palace, and there was a figure, but there was no sound. What are the queen and the princess doing inside?

Danqing took a deep breath, summoned up his courage, and leaned against the palace door to listen.

Shi Sheng in the hall didn't speak, and Yan Ru also didn't say anything, but walked directly in front of her, raised her chin with slender fingertips, and kissed her without any explanation.

The burst of affection is out of control.

Shi Sheng faltered, and a low moan escaped from the corner of his lips. Yan Ru's ears were red when he heard it, but he knocked off the cup on the table, and the sound of clanging covered up the low moan.

Danqing, who was leaning against the door of the palace, trembled in fright, straightened up immediately, and there were buzzing sounds in his ears.

She patted her head and seemed to hear some sounds just now.

What kind of voice it is, I really can't say it, and I really don't know how to describe it.

The author has something to say:

Danqing: It's too difficult for me.
