The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

Speaking of which, this was just a trivial matter, and there was no need to go to such trouble to ask Lu Zan to come over in person.

But he came anyway.

When Lu Zan left, he asked Jing Shu in a low voice: "Do you want me to accompany you tonight?"

"No need, Your Majesty, I'm not a child anymore, and I can't sleep alone. But for these new sisters who have just entered the palace, Your Majesty, I'd better go and spend some time with them first." Jing Shu immediately said with a sweet look on her face. vocal channel.

"My beloved concubine is really considerate and sensible. I am touched by her."

Lu Zan chuckled lightly, touched her little face, and then left.

Everyone quickly saluted and watched him leave.

After getting up, Jing Shu always felt that something was not right. Why did this bitch look like he had an unhappy smirk on his face just now?

how? Isn't he still happy when she asks him to try new things?

Really high maintenance.

Jing Shu didn't bother to guess his thoughts.

As soon as Lu Zan left, the queen also sent everyone away.

Not long after dinner, the news from the imperial court spread throughout the harem, and the Linhua Palace held the lights tonight.

"Linhua Hall is the west hall of Yongle Palace next to Xianfu Palace. It houses the newly arrived Su Shunyi. Xu Liangdi lives in Xuanchun Hall to the east. Yongle Palace has no empress in charge, so the main hall has always been empty." Get up, Xu Liangdi has not slept with her for many years, and now she has to see other women in the same palace sleeping with her. I'm afraid she will be so uncomfortable that she won't be able to sleep all night." Xiu Qing squeezed Jingshu's legs and said quite Said somewhat gloatingly.

Probably because Xu Liangdi used to like to cause trouble for her mother-in-law.

Although she had been speaking for Jingshu today, it could not change Xiuqing's dislike of her.

"There are advantages to not sleeping with her. At least everyone in the harem knows that she is not to be favored. Although they don't say how good they are to her, no one will think of currying favor with her so that they can live a peaceful life. , there's nothing wrong with it." Jing Shu flipped through the story book in his hand and said in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, you thought this way before, right? That's why you refused to compete for favor, but didn't you change later?" Xiu Qing couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that your mother-in-law is too beautiful and I am jealous of others. Even if I don't fight for it, there will always be people who are afraid and want to harm me. I have no choice but to fight for favor." Jing Shu said in a rather narcissistic tone, He curled his lips indifferently.

But Xiu Qing didn't think her words were narcissistic.

After all, the appearance of my mother-in-law is unmatched by anyone in the harem.

"Empress, do you know who was the most sensational beauty in the world back then?" At this time, Xiu Qing suddenly remembered something, couldn't help but twitching his eyebrows, and asked with a smile.

"I wonder, who is it?" Jing Shu became interested and finally raised her head from her storybook.

"Her name is Love. She is the only legitimate daughter of the late eldest princess and the old Zhongyong Marquis. She was named a princess when she was born. It is said that she was born with a beautiful appearance and unparalleled elegance. The emperor of a small neighboring country once wished her I gave the entire country to the Great Xia Kingdom just to marry Love as my wife, and truly conquer the country."

Seeing that his mother-in-law was interested, Xiu Qing said vividly, "It is said that at that time, all the noble families, powerful ministers and officials in the entire country of Great Xia regarded her as the supreme white moonlight, and everyone wanted to marry her.

"Even the late emperor once had the idea of ​​marrying this cousin, but unfortunately he was rejected by the eldest princess.

"It seems that because of this matter, the late emperor has always been dissatisfied with the eldest princess as his aunt. Later, something happened to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. The late emperor used Princess Love to coerce the eldest princess and asked her to agree to marry Princess Love to him. However, Princess Love disappeared at this time and her whereabouts are still unknown.

"Some people say that she was secretly snatched away by the emperor of a neighboring country who sent secret guards."

When Jing Shu heard this, she felt that some parts of this melon were ridiculously fake.

She said directly: "As the late emperor, the whole world belongs to her. The eldest princess is his elder and only a minister. If he really wants a woman, does he need to ask for the eldest princess's consent?" Can’t we just take it by force?”

Xiu Qing scratched his head in confusion when he heard what she said.

But he quickly added: "Then maybe there are too many powerful officials who like Princess Love? Can't the late emperor take it by force?

"By the way, your Majesty, don't you know! Princess Love and our wife were close friends at the time! They have the best relationship in the entire capital!"

Xiu Qing was talking so excitedly, but suddenly he stopped talking.

Jing Shu listened to the gossip in her mind and said, "It's a pity that I can't tell my mother. I heard from my mother that when she was young, the Grand Tutor also asked to marry Princess Love!

"And the empress's biological sister is now the concubine of the Emperor's uncle, King Xian. However, when King Xian was young, he also loved Princess Love very much!"

Then, Xiu Qing went on to talk about what she heard from her mother, which prominent figure in the capital had once admired or begged to marry this most beautiful woman in the world.

To sum it up.

Jingshu was still very scared when she first heard that she was the daughter of a female Neptune in the capital.

At this moment, I suddenly felt that she was nothing compared to Princess Love.

This was just a small episode. Even if Jing Shu heard about it, she didn't take it to heart.

At most, I can't help but be curious when I think about it occasionally. I want to know how beautiful the mysterious Princess Love was, where she went after she disappeared, whether she is still alive, and if she has a daughter, she can inherit her. How much beauty, etc.

For the next half month, Lu Zan did not come to Yicui Palace again.

He seemed to have listened to Jingshu's words and looked through the cards of the newly entered concubines from high to low according to their status, except Cui Liangdi and Wen Liangdi.

Even Su Shunyi, whom he had favored on the first night, was quite fond of him. He favored her for three days in a row. She was almost the only woman who was lucky enough to be favored by him since Jingshu.

"My Majesty, if Your Majesty goes to Linhua Hall again tonight, then Su Shunyi will be your exclusive favor for four days in a row. If this continues, the five-day special favor that your Majesty has maintained so far will be broken. Your Majesty, please don't worry. Really? The weather has gotten colder and colder recently. Would you like to go to the Imperial Study Room to deliver a bowl of hot soup to the Holy One?"

Seeing that it was now, Jingshu still showed no signs of panic at the presence of the old god, Xiu Qing finally couldn't help but said worriedly.

"Why are you anxious? It is a good thing to have concubines to take care of me and serve the Lord. Besides, if I go to the palace today and the Lord still prefers Su Shunyi and goes to Linhua Hall in the evening, wouldn't I be slapped in the face? , become the laughing stock of tomorrow's greetings?" Jing Shu glanced at her and said in a casual tone while writing.

"That's what the empress said..." Hearing this, Xiu Qing finally stopped trying to persuade her.

But Xiu Qing's worries were finally unnecessary.

It was just after dinner time, and before the people in the courtroom had time to go to the palace, news about the harem suddenly spread.

Wen Liangdi is dead.

Her body was found in a dry well behind Yicui Palace.

The queen directly sent someone to "invite" Jing Shu, who was the most suspected among everyone, to Kunning Palace for questioning.
