marry the devil

33. The harem even before the dynasty

Here Shi Zhen enters the capital, and the army is stationed fifty miles away from the capital, and he has to bring meritorious persons and those whose rank is above the fourth rank to the palace to face the saints. As for the rest of the soldiers, they can only wait in the barracks, maybe they are gone. During the war, they were probably allowed to walk around.

However, Shi Zhen had Ye Shaobai in his heart, and the face-to-face matter was not a big deal to him.After all, the emperor is his cousin, and the two grew up together. Although it is the art of the emperor and his ministers, there is indeed some affection, at least closer than the brothers of the emperor's own family, so the emperor listened to his words. The spies reported that Shi Zhen's "wife" had left by herself, so they didn't pick on him, and let him go home quickly after rewarding him for his merits.

The emperor is never stingy in rewarding meritorious ministers, not to mention that the meritorious minister is not a threat to him, so it is even more in his favor.

"Shi Aiqing, the Empress Dowager misses you every day in the palace, you should go and see her first." The emperor left the court, and specially left Shi Zhen in the imperial study to gossip with him - after all, the two are cousins, It wouldn't be suspicious to stay and talk, not to mention that Shi Zhen was still his right-hand man.

Shi Zhen nodded, and a palace official came over to guide him - foreign ministers who want to enter the harem, even relatives, must avoid suspicion.

The inner courtyard of the deep palace is far deeper than the Shifu, a place where there is no serious headed mistress, and the winding stone steps are also separated from the palace.Shi Zhen stepped onto the path and followed the palace man to the palace where the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager lived.

That palace was originally Yongkang Palace, but after the Emperor and Empress Dowager lived there, the name was changed to "Yi Shou Palace". It has little connection with the palace of the empress and concubine on weekdays, but every day concubines would come to say hello.Naturally, Shi Zhen could only come here after all the concubines had left, and he needed to be notified more than a dozen times before he could go in and meet his queen mother and aunt.

After entering the palace, Shi Zhen was subjected to a series of inspections. He had never brought weapons and the like before, but the rules of entering the palace could not be easily blocked, not to mention the things that people could hide on their bodies. So it's 01:30?

After the inspection, Shi Zhen was allowed to go in to meet the Emperor and Queen Mother.

After entering the outer gate, he followed the palace servants for another half an hour before arriving at the Xishou Palace.

"The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and General Shi Zhenshi came to pay their respects." The palace staff circulated.

"Hurry up and announce." The Supreme Emperor hurriedly regained his energy, and the Empress Dowager also quickly regained his energy, waiting for someone to come with a smile on his face.

"My minister has met the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager." Shi Zhen saluted and got the words of "flat body", then got up, stood respectfully by the side and waited for the lesson - seeing the face of the Empress Dowager, this Shi Zhen knew himself He offended his aunt at some point, so thinking about it, he would not go forward to please her as usual.

"Zhen'er!" Seeing Shi Zhen retreating, the Empress Dowager showed displeasure on her face, "The Ai family heard that you have a wife, why didn't you bring them into the palace to show the Ai family?"

"Queen Mother, that lady is a country woman, so there's no need to come here and attack my aunt..."

"What nonsense!" The queen mother slapped the table, not angry, but Shi Zhen's heart was pounding, "If you don't bring him in, how can I know what he looks like? I don't know what he looks like, How do your uncle and I know whether he is from a mountain village or not?"

"Queen Mother, this... is really inappropriate... besides, even if a married woman enters the palace, she needs to pass the sign first and then check it layer by layer. The one in Weichen's family... really can't be brought in..." It's a joke, just pass the sign , then Ye Shaobai killed someone, and still need to check layer by layer?

"Confused!" The Supreme Emperor preemptively said, "The daughter-in-law has only been married for a few days, and Zhen'er ran to guard the frontier, and she didn't even issue the imperial edict, let alone the old lady in Zhen'er's mansion. Master An Sheng, don't bother him anymore."

"Your Majesty, this Zhen'er is the concubine's nephew after all. His mother and father are gone, and the concubine regards him as a close junior. Naturally, it is impossible for him to marry a wife." The queen mother glared at Shi Shi. After shaking his head, he turned his head and spoke softly to the Supreme Emperor, "The concubine is thinking...do you want him to bring the new daughter-in-law into the palace to show us?"

"Empress Dowager, he has never been disobedient to discipline. If he is brought into the palace and offends the emperor and the empress dowager, what should we do? What's more, he can't always guard the back house. Auntie, wait When the time is right, I'll bring him back for you to see."

I thought that Shi Zhen would be able to settle down the emperor and the queen mother with just a few words, but it seems that the queen mother didn't intend to let him go at all, and still clung to Shi Zhen, only wanting Shi Zhen to bring his newly married woman into the house. In the palace, but the emperor didn't think so, he just laughed at the side, wanting to let this matter pass like this.However, the queen mother always wanted to see the new wife, speaking as if an ordinary old lady wanted to watch something lively.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Shi Zhen finally ran away from the Yishou Palace, and it was easy to evade, so he had time to run back to his mansion.

However, this trip to the palace was not so comfortable for Shi Zhen - if the Queen Mother or the Supreme Emperor knew about Ye Shaobai, then that would be fine, but right now... it seems that he doesn't know.Shi Zhen stepped into his mansion on horseback, thinking about more and more things in his heart.

That's right, Shi Zhen thought of Zhang Jingxiu—the original matter Zhang Jingxiu couldn't pick it up, but now, this Jingxiu must have communicated with the harem?

Thinking about it this way, Shi Zhen felt relieved. He didn't know much about what happened back then, but his own father handled it, so how could he pretend that nothing happened?As for Ye Shaobai...Shi Zhen really doesn't intend to let him go back to that filthy and shameful place, but...if the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother know, can his Shaobai still be Jian Jian? The single "Ye Shaobai"?

Walking into the door, Shi Zhen didn't intend to visit his stepmother first, but stayed in the study in the mansion to study, but unfortunately, the book was held upside down...

"General, where is 'Ma'am'?" Cui Ran came over, put down the teacup in her hand, looked up at Shi Zhen with a sneer, she bit the word "Ma'am" hard again, to ridicule Shi Zhen wishful thinking.

"Where is he is not something you should know." Shi Zhen put down the book in his hand, turned around and looked outside—the mountains are high and the rivers are long, when will he see Ye Shaobai who said he would run away and run away.

The author has something to say: The truth is about to surface...
