Shen Yingqi drove back to the imperial tent, because the hunting contest was about to start when it was not [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, so there was no singing and dancing arranged in the camp tonight, and all the boys rested and recuperated in their respective tents, only waiting to go to the mountains, forests and grasslands to show off their skills tomorrow morning.
Naturally, Shen Ying didn't want to join in the excitement, he even learned how to ride a horse a few days ago, and he was only as proficient as sitting on a horse and being led around.
He is the emperor, even if he is traveling, he will inevitably deal with state affairs every day. After dinner, the eunuch holding a pen from the supervisor of ceremonies came to explain the summary of the book to Shen Ying, and this lecture reached the end of the Xu Dynasty.
The eunuch Bingbi saw that the emperor looked a little tired, and that today's memorial was almost finished, so he planned to resign and let the emperor rest. Suddenly, a young eunuch reported back through the tent outside, saying that His Royal Highness King Qi came down to pay his respects to the emperor.
Shen Ying was surprised, it was so late, why would a child like Shen Han come to greet him?
Shen Ying replied inside: "Let King Qi come in."
The door curtain was lifted, and it was Concubine Feng who came in holding King Qi's hand, and with two maidservants behind her, walked in front of Shen Ying and saluted him together.
"Excuse me, Concubine Feng is also here." Shen Ying guessed that the mother and son came late at night, not only to greet him, but also to ask straight to the point, "It's so late, what do you want from me?" something?"
Concubine Feng smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, it was King Qi who said that the frost and dew on the grassland were heavy, and he was worried that the emperor's brother would get cold at night and affect the dragon's health, so I specially ordered someone to boil a bowl of warming soup and bring it over with King Qi. The emperor warms up."
Under the suppression of the queen mother, Concubine Feng has always lived in the deep palace for a long time, only guarding her precious son, and she rarely has any contact with Shen Ying. Warm up soup for him to drink.
The Empress Dowager was not able to accompany her during the spring hunt because she had suffered from a bit of wind and cold a few days ago. Look, this is the first night out of the palace, and some people can't sit still and want to make small moves.
Shen Ying said calmly: "Then there will be Concubine Feng, Shuo Yu, go and get Concubine Feng's body warming soup."
Shuoyu led the order and walked towards Concubine Feng, and was about to take the food box from the hand of the maid behind her, when Concubine Feng blocked it with her hand.
"Zhi Yun," Concubine Feng called out the name of the person behind her, then turned her head and winked, "Go and bring the soup to the emperor."
"Yes."
Shen Ying heard a voice as soft as water, looked up, and realized that the two maidservants who followed after Concubine Feng were not, one of them was a girl with a delicate appearance, wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt, with a slim figure and a good manner Dignified, it looks like a well-bred lady from a famous family.
Feng Zhiyun lowered her head, carried the food box and walked towards Shen Ying. Feeling the emperor's eyes on her, her ears felt hot and her heart beat faster. a good impression.
Shen Ying also remained silent, just sitting upright, her gaze sweeping over Feng Zhiyun intentionally or unintentionally.
Feng Zhiyun held her breath and walked to the imperial case, put the food box on the table, then opened the food box, took out a jade bowl from inside, held it in front of Shen Ying with both hands, and said in a soft and thin voice, like an oriole: "Please enjoy it, Your Majesty."
Shen Ying stretched out her hand expressionlessly and wanted to take the bowl from Feng Zhiyun's hand. Feng Zhiyun purposely raised her head at this moment and gave Shen Ying a winking look. Lowering his eyes, revealing the charming attitude of his daughter's family.
This trick is to send eyeballs secretly and express affection, as long as a normal man sees it, he can't help but feel distracted.
It's a pity that Shen Ying is not a normal man, and the beauty trick doesn't work for him.
Shen Ying immediately understood the purpose of Concubine Feng's visit to him. It turned out that she was bringing a woman to him. Looking at the eunuch Bingbi who hadn't had time to leave beside her, Shen Ying changed her mind and decided to use her tricks, pretending to be generous. Looking at Feng Zhiyun with interest, he asked, "What's your name?"
Feng Zhiyun thought that he had successfully attracted the emperor's attention, so he was overjoyed and flattered and replied: "Back to the emperor, the little girl's name is Feng Zhiyun, the Zhi of Baizhi, and the cloud of Yuncai."
Concubine Feng also said: "Your Majesty, Zhiyun is my niece, and she made this bowl of warming soup in your hand."
"Really?" Shen Ying glanced at Feng Zhiyun appreciatively, nodded and said, "It seems that Miss Feng not only has a beautiful name, but also has very clever hands."
Feng Zhiyun couldn't help blushing when she received Shen Ying's praise, her voice was trembling with excitement: "Little girl, thank you for your compliment."
Concubine Feng saw that Shen Ying's words and deeds seemed to have a lot of appreciation for Feng Zhiyun, so she hurried to praise Feng Zhiyun while the iron was hot, and wanted to deepen Feng Zhiyun's impression in the emperor's heart, "Your Majesty, this niece of this palace has been very intelligent since she was a child. She is so proficient, and her temperament is very gentle and virtuous, if the emperor likes the warming soup made by Zhiyun, I will let her make it tomorrow and send it to the emperor."
"It's so good." Shen Ying put the soup bowl on the table, looked up at Feng Zhiyun with a half-smile, "Then I'll wait for Miss Feng to bring the soup tomorrow."
Shen Ying deliberately pretended to be interested in Feng Zhiyun, and chatted with Concubine Feng for a while around the topic of Feng Zhiyun. When Concubine Feng took King Qi, Feng Zhiyun and Shen Ying to leave the imperial tent, Concubine Feng's face almost turned into a smile. a flower.
Concubine Feng didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but it's not surprising that Feng Zhiyun looks like her. Didn't Emperor Gaozong favor her for more than ten years because of her beauty?Shen Ying would fall in love with Feng Zhiyun, that's perfectly normal, which man can resist the temptation of a stunning beauty.confused?
Concubine Feng took Feng Zhiyun's hand affectionately, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Yun'er, the queen position will definitely be yours!"
—
Not long after Concubine Feng left, the eunuch Bingbi also came out of the emperor's tent and went straight to Guo Jiuchen's tent.
The eunuch Bingbi told Guo Jiuchen about Concubine Feng taking her niece to see the emperor. After hearing this, Guo Jiuchen murmured, "You mean, the emperor seems quite interested in Concubine Feng's niece?"
The eunuch Bingbi said: "It should be that the emperor asked Feng Zhiyun a lot of questions, and asked Feng Zhiyun to send the soup tomorrow. If it was unintentional, it shouldn't be like this."
Guo Jiuchen sneered, "This Concubine Feng, our family knows that she is not a law-abiding person!"
The eunuch Bingbi said, "What's so good about palm prints?"
Guo Jiuchen snorted coldly: "Do you think this woman really wants to help her niece become a queen? But it's all for King Qi's sake. We guess she wants to win over the emperor, so that he can coax him into agreeing to take King Qi with her." Fan, it's just a dream! Anyone can be a queen, but she, Feng's daughter, can't!"
The eunuch Bingbi worried: "But the emperor has already become interested in Feng Zhiyun, what if the emperor insists on making Feng Zhiyun his queen?"
"But it's only the first time I've seen her, so she's the only one I can't help." Guo Jiuchen said sadly, "Don't you know what kind of temperament our little emperor is? Will you remember who Feng Zhiyun is?"
Speaking of this, Guo Jiuchen seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to the little eunuch who was serving beside him, "Go, invite Gu Shaojun to our house."
—
Gu Min had just finished touring the camp and was about to go back to the tent to rest, but before he entered the tent, he was stopped by the little eunuch sent by Guo Jiuchen to invite him over.
"Gu Shaojun, Nine Thousand Years invites you to come over and say that we have something important to discuss."
Gu Min held the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and stood in the same place for a while, thinking for a while, it was already this hour, why did Guo Jiuchen call him over suddenly?
But Guo Jiuchen looked for him, and he couldn't shirk it, so he could only go to Guo Jiuchen's camp with the little eunuch who led the way.
Before he got to the tent, Gu Min saw two people coming out of Guo Jiuchen's tent from a distance. Judging from their figures, they seemed to be two of Guo Jiuchen's cronies, both of whom were from Jinyiwei's Qianhu.
Gu Min felt more and more weird, Guo Jiuchen called these cronies over to meet him late at night, what exactly was he trying to do?
After entering Guo Jiuchen's tent, there were several used teacups on the table that hadn't been cleaned up yet. Obviously, Guo Jiuchen met more than just a group of people.
Guo Jiuchen was lying on a reclining chair, with a young eunuch helping him to squeeze his shoulders and beat his legs. When he saw Gu Min coming in, he waved at him, "Jun Shu is here, sit down and pour tea for Mr. Gu."
After paying his respects, Gu Min sat down and asked, "I don't know why the factory master called his subordinates down late at night?"
Guo Jiuchen closed his eyes slightly, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind, "You know that the emperor is going to choose a concubine, right?"
Gu Min's eyebrows frowned, and he said indifferently for a moment: "I heard it a little bit."
Guo Jiuchen dragged his voice and said: "Establishing an empress is a major event, and it cannot be sloppy. The empress must be chosen by us."
Gu Min's eyes were cloudy, "What does the factory owner mean?"
"Wang Qianhu and Han Qianhu's family both have marriageable daughters, both of whom are well-educated and elegant, and can be candidates for the queen. Now you have won the favor of the emperor, and the emperor is obedient to you." Guo Jiuchen opened his eyes. , slightly straightened up from the reclining chair and looked at Gu Min, "Our family wants you to speak well to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Han in front of the emperor, so that the emperor will pay more attention to them."
Gu Min lowered his head and lowered his eyelashes, pursed his thin lips, and did not immediately agree. Guo Jiuchen seemed to have expected such a reaction from Gu Min, and sneered: "Our family knows that you and the emperor are in a strong relationship, and we are reluctant to let the emperor empathize." Others. But you have to understand that you are a man after all, and the emperor cannot always favor you. The emperor bears the responsibility of spreading the branches and leaves for the emperor, and he will have a queen by his side sooner or later. Concubine and concubine, how will you deal with yourself at that time? All love and love are fake! Only the power in your hands is real, do you understand?"
Gu Min bowed his hands and saluted, with a calm face and no waves in his tone, he said respectfully: "Thank you for your enlightenment, my subordinates understand."
Guo Jiuchen's shrewd eyes swept across Gu Min's face slowly, and said in a half-yin and half-yang tone: "I hope you really understand. By the way, the case of King Pingyang has already been found. Your adoptive father will suffer more in prison because of you."
Gu Min's hands hanging on both sides of his body unconsciously clenched into fists, and hatred surged in his heart. Guo Jiuchen was threatening him with the safety of King Pingyang!
Gu Min gritted his teeth hard, and stabilized his mind, which was almost affected by hatred, then raised his head with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Guo Jiuchen, "Don't worry, Mr. Factory, this subordinate understands what to do. Will not disappoint the factory owner."
—
Early the next morning, before dawn, Shuoyu woke up Shen Ying early, washed and dressed, and walked out of the imperial tent. Surrounded by all the officials, Shen Ying came down to the hunting ground to boost the morale of the officials who participated in the hunt.
Wearing a hunting suit, Shen Ying stood facing the wind on a high platform, raised his wine bottle to all the courtiers who paid homage to him, and said proudly: "My good sons of Daying! I wish you all success in opening the Spring Hunting Banner this time. Return with a full load!"
"Thank you, the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Everyone drank the wine in their hands, took the bows and arrows from the entourage, put the quiver on their backs, stepped on the horseback, flicked the whip, and countless warriors in strong clothes rushed towards the hunting ground. The horseshoes galloped like rolling spring thunder , Rolling up thousands of dust, awakening countless birds and beasts in an instant, attracting hunters to chase after it, what a grand and magnificent scene!
The men had all gone hunting, and only some civil servants and female relatives were left in the camp. The hunting time lasted from Mao to noon. Shen Ying came down from the high platform. At this time, he called out to stop him.
"emperor."
Shen Ying stopped, turned her head and looked behind her, "What's the matter with Guo Daban?"
Guo Jiuchen looked at the dusty hunting ground in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is still a long time before the end of the hunting. The old minister has arranged some songs and dances for the emperor. I wonder if the emperor will show his face?"
Shen Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, yo, is this another person who has nothing to do and is courteous?
Guo Jiuchen was flattering the queen mother, and he had never paid much attention to him as the little emperor, but today he suddenly started to please him. I'm afraid it's fake to watch the singing and dancing, but it's true to pick the queen.
It seems that the queen's throne is much more popular than his puppet emperor, and so many people covet it.
"Okay, Guo Daban invited me so kindly, how can I let you down." Shen Ying immediately put on a smile, nodded and said to Guo Jiuchen, "Then you make arrangements first, and I will come back when I get back to the camp and change my clothes."
The wrinkles on Guo Jiuchen's face stretched out, and he saluted happily: "Old minister obeys the order."
Shen Ying took off her hunting clothes, changed into loose casual clothes, and came to the square in the middle of the camp. Guo Jiuchen had already arranged a banquet, and some courtiers and female relatives who hadn't gone hunting were also invited to watch the singing and dancing.
Shen Ying came to the upper seat and waved to Guo Jiuchen who was sitting on his right, "Guo Daban, let's start."
Guo Jiuchen clapped his hands twice, and the musicians began to play music. Dressed in light veils, the dancers with graceful figures twisted their slender waists, and came to the open space with light dance steps and began to dance lightly.
The dancers danced for a while, and suddenly the music started, and two beauties dressed in colorful clothes came from both sides, walked up to the front of the dancers and began to lead the dance. Smart and graceful, pleasing to the eye.
To be honest, if he just admired the dance, Shen Ying would definitely applaud these two beauties, but after he knew that these two women belonged to Guo Jiuchen, no matter how beautiful their faces were, they were no different from carrots and cabbages in his eyes.
But even if he felt bored again in his heart, in order to numb Guo Jiuchen, he had to put on an expression of being amazed by the two beauties, pretending that he was a good guy.The color of the faint king.
Feng Zhiyun, who followed Concubine Feng, saw the emperor staring obsessively at the two beauties leading the dance, secretly pulling the silk handkerchief in his hand fiercely, almost biting his silver teeth, wishing he could poke at the two women with his eyes. Several holes come out.
Bitch!Bitch!To use such an indecent means to confuse the emperor!
It's just dancing, and she is confident that she can dance much better than these two sluts!But which lady of the family would dress up as a dancer in public to flatter her?It's just outrageous!Such a frivolous woman is also worthy of being a concubine?
Concubine Feng noticed the small movements of Feng Zhiyun's subordinates, and knew that she was not upset, so she reached out and pulled the silk handkerchief that had been twisted into a strand out of Feng Zhiyun's hands, grabbed Feng Zhiyun's hand and patted it in the palm of her hand, comforting her in a low voice: "Don't worry, how can these vulgar fans compare with our Yun'er? The emperor won't take a fancy to them."
Feng Zhiyun looked up at the emperor who was concentrating on watching the singing and dancing, and was so wronged that he was about to cry: "But the way the emperor looks at them, it is obvious that he is interested in them, and I have been here for so long, the emperor has never looked at me directly, aunt, Do you think the emperor has forgotten what happened last night?"
Concubine Feng glanced at the "sexy" emperor, but did not answer Feng Zhiyun's question.
Based on her understanding of the emperor, the emperor is good.She is greedy for sex and loves someone faster than taking off her clothes. Although Feng Zhiyun is indeed beautiful, the most indispensable thing in the harem is good-looking women and men. This alone may not be enough to tie the emperor's heart .
Concubine Feng glanced casually at Guo Jiuchen who was sitting across from her. The queen mother wanted to keep the emperor firmly in her hands, so she naturally hoped that the queen would be hers.
A calculating light flashed in Concubine Feng's eyes. It seemed that if she wanted Feng Zhiyun to be favored by the emperor, she had to resort to some extraordinary means.
After a song and dance, Guo Jiuchen took the lead in applauding, stood up and beckoned for the two beauties leading the dance to come forward.
Guo Jiuchen asked Shen Ying: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the dance between the two of them?"
Shen Ying nodded and said with a continuous smile: "Wonderful!"
Guo Jiuchen laughed loudly, and said to the two daughters: "The emperor praises you, why don't you hurry up and thank you!"
The second daughter bowed to the emperor Yingying, looked up at the emperor shyly, her eyes were rolling, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, and she was indescribably charming.
"Your majesty, these two beauties are the daughters of Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang Bao and Han Ji's family," Guo Jiuchen finished introducing, pointing to Wang and Han, and said, "Since the emperor likes your dance, then you two will go to the emperor's dance in the future." Serve by your side!"
Shen Ying was taken aback, Guo Jiuchen didn't even ask him what he wanted, but he wanted to force these two women into him?This dead eunuch is so courageous!
However, they do have the strength to be bold. Now that Du Qianren has fallen, Guo Jiuchen is the only one in power in the court, and there is the queen mother behind him, and his meaning may represent the queen mother's meaning. Now Shen Ying, Not enough to fight them.
Shen Ying was so angry that her teeth were itching, and suddenly she had an idea, and immediately said: "Guo Daban, isn't this inappropriate? Since you are an official lady, how can you enter the palace and serve me as a palace maid? Wouldn't that be too wronged for the two beauties? "
Guo Jiuchen originally wanted to force the emperor to accept Wang and Han as his concubines, but he never expected that the little emperor would make Wang and Han his concubines first.
Guo Jiuchen originally wanted to refute, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, if the quarrel with the emperor was too stiff, wouldn't it be impossible for Wang and Han to enter the palace?
After thinking about it, as long as he can serve the emperor, even being a court lady is not bad. With these two stunning beauties in front of his eyes every day, he can hold back for a day or two, and can't hold back his mouth for five days and seven days?
So Guo Jiuchen smiled ambiguously, and said: "Being able to serve the emperor, even if it is a palace maid, is the good luck of the two of them, Mr. Wang and Mr. Han, why don't you hurry up and thank the emperor for your kindness!"
The two girls looked at each other. Although they didn't want to be court ladies, they could only kneel down and thank each other.
Shen Ying clenched her fists and scolded "dead eunuch" endlessly in her heart, but Guo Jiuchen had already made a concession, and he couldn't refuse to accept it any longer. I still don't know what will trip him up secretly!
—
The hunting in the morning was over, and Gu Min had a good harvest. He killed two sika deer, one roe deer, and several hares and pheasants. The number of prey was temporarily ranked first.
The second in line was Lin Che, who beat a sika deer less than Gu Min, and he felt aggrieved when he said it. Originally, he was the one who found the sika deer first, but Gu Min, who came later, got there first. The deer shot an arrow, but Lin Che's arrow hit the deer's leg, but Gu Min's arrow pierced through the throat, so the deer should belong to Gu Min as a matter of course.
Lin Che also didn't understand, he didn't know how he had offended Lord Gu, it was really inexplicable that he wanted to snatch so many prey in the forest without hunting.
Gu Min returned to the camp with the prey, and first asked people to take away the pheasants and hares, and prepared to make barbecue for Shen Ying in the evening.
Before he finished packing his prey, the little eunuch who was serving Guo Jiuchen suddenly came to look for him, pulled Gu Min aside, and whispered to him that the Wang family and the Han family had already entered the emperor's imperial tent, and Gu Min was asked to spend more time in front of the emperor. Say good things for the Wang family and the Han family, and make it possible for the emperor to be fortunate to her two as soon as possible.
After Gu Min heard this, he only said lightly that he knew, and asked the little eunuch to go back and report to Guo Jiuchen, saying that he would play by ear.
And in the emperor's tent, Shen Ying was also worrying about what to do with the two hot potatoes that Guo Jiuchen stuffed him, when he suddenly heard the report from the little eunuch outside that Gu Shaojun had come, she immediately took care of it.
After Gu Min came in to finish the salute, he raised his head and found two strange women standing beside the emperor. Although they were dressed in court ladies' clothes, they were much more beautiful than ordinary court ladies. They must be the Wang family and the Han family.
Shen Ying took Gu Min's arm affectionately, sat with him, and asked, "Finished hunting? How's it going? How's the result today?"
Gu Min calmly withdrew his gaze from looking at the two daughters, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, the grades are acceptable."
In fact, Shen Ying had already noticed that Gu Min was looking at Wang Shi and Han Shi, and waved to them to come over, "By the way, I haven't introduced you yet, these two beauties will be my personal maids in the future, Wang Shi Han, you two hurry up and greet Gu Shaojun."
The Wang family and the Han family saluted Gu Min, but Gu Min didn't pay attention to him, and congratulated Shen Ying dryly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting another beautiful lady."
Shen Ying laughed loudly twice, then waved to all the maids and eunuchs serving in the tent: "You all go down, I have something to say with Gu Shaojun alone."
After all the palace people went out, Shen Ying looked at Gu Min with a smile and asked, "Which one do you think is more beautiful, the Wang family or the Han family just now?"
Gu Min did not hesitate, and said flatly, "They are all beautiful."
Shen Ying nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the Wang family is dignified, and the Han family is charming, each has its own advantages." After speaking, she suddenly moved her head towards Gu Min, and asked in a low voice, "Then which one of them do you think is more suitable to be the leader?" My queen?"
Gu Min's drooping eyelids moved, and after a while, he squeezed out a few words, "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as the emperor likes it."
Shen Ying propped her elbows on the table and propped her chin with her hands, and asked jokingly: "Then you are not afraid, if I have them, I will forget you?"
Gu Min said indifferently: "Who the emperor likes and hates is not up to the subject to control. If the emperor likes those two beauties, it doesn't matter if he accepts both."
"Liar!" Shen Ying patted the table, feigning anger, "Gu Junshu, how dare you deceive the king!"
Gu Min raised his eyes and saw that Shen Ying's face didn't look like he was really angry, so he didn't stand up and salute to apologize, but calmly said: "Everything I said comes from the heart, and there is absolutely no half-word in lieu."
Shen Ying sneered in disbelief, stretched out her fingers and poked Gu Min's chest hard twice, "You said you didn't lie to me, I just looked at Lin Che a little too much yesterday, so you just got angry with me, If I really accept the two of them, then why don't you fight with me?"
Gu Min missed a beat, stared at Shen Ying's eyes in a daze, he actually found out?
Seeing Gu Min's appearance, Shen Ying knew that she had guessed right. It was because of Lin Che that Gu Min lost his temper with him yesterday, so it would be easy to handle.
"I actually don't want to be a concubine. No matter how beautiful those women are, I won't take them seriously." Shen Ying pursed her lower lip, opened her phoenix eyes slightly, and looked at Gu Min seriously. , "Jun Shu, do you believe it or not, if you are a woman, I will definitely make you queen?"
Gu Min met Shen Ying's gaze, looking at those clear pupils and himself reflected in Shen Ying's eyes, his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic.
He stood up abruptly, took a step back, distanced himself from Shen Ying, and said with a tense expression, "Your Majesty, please don't make such jokes with me."
Shen Ying also stood up and grabbed Gu Min's hand, dragged him forcefully and pressed him to the chair, then lifted Gu Min's chin, forcing him to look up at himself, "Don't you still believe what I think about you? I told you that since I have you, I will never tolerate anyone else in my eyes, and I will disband the harem for you, and I will only spoil you from now on. You are not joking, so how can I set up someone else as a queen ?”
Gu Min looked at Shen Ying, and heard him throwing the ground but not losing his grip.The lingering words of love suddenly made his mouth dry, his ears were filled with tinnitus caused by the rapid heartbeat, his thin lips moved and closed a few times, and when he opened his mouth, it was hoarse that he had never thought of.
"Your majesty... really don't want to be a queen?"
"Of course!" Shen Ying leaned forward and approached Gu Min, lowered her head slowly, when her lips were about to touch Gu Min's, Shen Ying stared at the man's slightly trembling thin lips, and asked slowly , "I will ask you one last time, Gu Junshu, do you really want me to accept Wang and Han?"
Naturally, Shen Ying didn't want to join in the excitement, he even learned how to ride a horse a few days ago, and he was only as proficient as sitting on a horse and being led around.
He is the emperor, even if he is traveling, he will inevitably deal with state affairs every day. After dinner, the eunuch holding a pen from the supervisor of ceremonies came to explain the summary of the book to Shen Ying, and this lecture reached the end of the Xu Dynasty.
The eunuch Bingbi saw that the emperor looked a little tired, and that today's memorial was almost finished, so he planned to resign and let the emperor rest. Suddenly, a young eunuch reported back through the tent outside, saying that His Royal Highness King Qi came down to pay his respects to the emperor.
Shen Ying was surprised, it was so late, why would a child like Shen Han come to greet him?
Shen Ying replied inside: "Let King Qi come in."
The door curtain was lifted, and it was Concubine Feng who came in holding King Qi's hand, and with two maidservants behind her, walked in front of Shen Ying and saluted him together.
"Excuse me, Concubine Feng is also here." Shen Ying guessed that the mother and son came late at night, not only to greet him, but also to ask straight to the point, "It's so late, what do you want from me?" something?"
Concubine Feng smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, it was King Qi who said that the frost and dew on the grassland were heavy, and he was worried that the emperor's brother would get cold at night and affect the dragon's health, so I specially ordered someone to boil a bowl of warming soup and bring it over with King Qi. The emperor warms up."
Under the suppression of the queen mother, Concubine Feng has always lived in the deep palace for a long time, only guarding her precious son, and she rarely has any contact with Shen Ying. Warm up soup for him to drink.
The Empress Dowager was not able to accompany her during the spring hunt because she had suffered from a bit of wind and cold a few days ago. Look, this is the first night out of the palace, and some people can't sit still and want to make small moves.
Shen Ying said calmly: "Then there will be Concubine Feng, Shuo Yu, go and get Concubine Feng's body warming soup."
Shuoyu led the order and walked towards Concubine Feng, and was about to take the food box from the hand of the maid behind her, when Concubine Feng blocked it with her hand.
"Zhi Yun," Concubine Feng called out the name of the person behind her, then turned her head and winked, "Go and bring the soup to the emperor."
"Yes."
Shen Ying heard a voice as soft as water, looked up, and realized that the two maidservants who followed after Concubine Feng were not, one of them was a girl with a delicate appearance, wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt, with a slim figure and a good manner Dignified, it looks like a well-bred lady from a famous family.
Feng Zhiyun lowered her head, carried the food box and walked towards Shen Ying. Feeling the emperor's eyes on her, her ears felt hot and her heart beat faster. a good impression.
Shen Ying also remained silent, just sitting upright, her gaze sweeping over Feng Zhiyun intentionally or unintentionally.
Feng Zhiyun held her breath and walked to the imperial case, put the food box on the table, then opened the food box, took out a jade bowl from inside, held it in front of Shen Ying with both hands, and said in a soft and thin voice, like an oriole: "Please enjoy it, Your Majesty."
Shen Ying stretched out her hand expressionlessly and wanted to take the bowl from Feng Zhiyun's hand. Feng Zhiyun purposely raised her head at this moment and gave Shen Ying a winking look. Lowering his eyes, revealing the charming attitude of his daughter's family.
This trick is to send eyeballs secretly and express affection, as long as a normal man sees it, he can't help but feel distracted.
It's a pity that Shen Ying is not a normal man, and the beauty trick doesn't work for him.
Shen Ying immediately understood the purpose of Concubine Feng's visit to him. It turned out that she was bringing a woman to him. Looking at the eunuch Bingbi who hadn't had time to leave beside her, Shen Ying changed her mind and decided to use her tricks, pretending to be generous. Looking at Feng Zhiyun with interest, he asked, "What's your name?"
Feng Zhiyun thought that he had successfully attracted the emperor's attention, so he was overjoyed and flattered and replied: "Back to the emperor, the little girl's name is Feng Zhiyun, the Zhi of Baizhi, and the cloud of Yuncai."
Concubine Feng also said: "Your Majesty, Zhiyun is my niece, and she made this bowl of warming soup in your hand."
"Really?" Shen Ying glanced at Feng Zhiyun appreciatively, nodded and said, "It seems that Miss Feng not only has a beautiful name, but also has very clever hands."
Feng Zhiyun couldn't help blushing when she received Shen Ying's praise, her voice was trembling with excitement: "Little girl, thank you for your compliment."
Concubine Feng saw that Shen Ying's words and deeds seemed to have a lot of appreciation for Feng Zhiyun, so she hurried to praise Feng Zhiyun while the iron was hot, and wanted to deepen Feng Zhiyun's impression in the emperor's heart, "Your Majesty, this niece of this palace has been very intelligent since she was a child. She is so proficient, and her temperament is very gentle and virtuous, if the emperor likes the warming soup made by Zhiyun, I will let her make it tomorrow and send it to the emperor."
"It's so good." Shen Ying put the soup bowl on the table, looked up at Feng Zhiyun with a half-smile, "Then I'll wait for Miss Feng to bring the soup tomorrow."
Shen Ying deliberately pretended to be interested in Feng Zhiyun, and chatted with Concubine Feng for a while around the topic of Feng Zhiyun. When Concubine Feng took King Qi, Feng Zhiyun and Shen Ying to leave the imperial tent, Concubine Feng's face almost turned into a smile. a flower.
Concubine Feng didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but it's not surprising that Feng Zhiyun looks like her. Didn't Emperor Gaozong favor her for more than ten years because of her beauty?Shen Ying would fall in love with Feng Zhiyun, that's perfectly normal, which man can resist the temptation of a stunning beauty.confused?
Concubine Feng took Feng Zhiyun's hand affectionately, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Yun'er, the queen position will definitely be yours!"
—
Not long after Concubine Feng left, the eunuch Bingbi also came out of the emperor's tent and went straight to Guo Jiuchen's tent.
The eunuch Bingbi told Guo Jiuchen about Concubine Feng taking her niece to see the emperor. After hearing this, Guo Jiuchen murmured, "You mean, the emperor seems quite interested in Concubine Feng's niece?"
The eunuch Bingbi said: "It should be that the emperor asked Feng Zhiyun a lot of questions, and asked Feng Zhiyun to send the soup tomorrow. If it was unintentional, it shouldn't be like this."
Guo Jiuchen sneered, "This Concubine Feng, our family knows that she is not a law-abiding person!"
The eunuch Bingbi said, "What's so good about palm prints?"
Guo Jiuchen snorted coldly: "Do you think this woman really wants to help her niece become a queen? But it's all for King Qi's sake. We guess she wants to win over the emperor, so that he can coax him into agreeing to take King Qi with her." Fan, it's just a dream! Anyone can be a queen, but she, Feng's daughter, can't!"
The eunuch Bingbi worried: "But the emperor has already become interested in Feng Zhiyun, what if the emperor insists on making Feng Zhiyun his queen?"
"But it's only the first time I've seen her, so she's the only one I can't help." Guo Jiuchen said sadly, "Don't you know what kind of temperament our little emperor is? Will you remember who Feng Zhiyun is?"
Speaking of this, Guo Jiuchen seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to the little eunuch who was serving beside him, "Go, invite Gu Shaojun to our house."
—
Gu Min had just finished touring the camp and was about to go back to the tent to rest, but before he entered the tent, he was stopped by the little eunuch sent by Guo Jiuchen to invite him over.
"Gu Shaojun, Nine Thousand Years invites you to come over and say that we have something important to discuss."
Gu Min held the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and stood in the same place for a while, thinking for a while, it was already this hour, why did Guo Jiuchen call him over suddenly?
But Guo Jiuchen looked for him, and he couldn't shirk it, so he could only go to Guo Jiuchen's camp with the little eunuch who led the way.
Before he got to the tent, Gu Min saw two people coming out of Guo Jiuchen's tent from a distance. Judging from their figures, they seemed to be two of Guo Jiuchen's cronies, both of whom were from Jinyiwei's Qianhu.
Gu Min felt more and more weird, Guo Jiuchen called these cronies over to meet him late at night, what exactly was he trying to do?
After entering Guo Jiuchen's tent, there were several used teacups on the table that hadn't been cleaned up yet. Obviously, Guo Jiuchen met more than just a group of people.
Guo Jiuchen was lying on a reclining chair, with a young eunuch helping him to squeeze his shoulders and beat his legs. When he saw Gu Min coming in, he waved at him, "Jun Shu is here, sit down and pour tea for Mr. Gu."
After paying his respects, Gu Min sat down and asked, "I don't know why the factory master called his subordinates down late at night?"
Guo Jiuchen closed his eyes slightly, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind, "You know that the emperor is going to choose a concubine, right?"
Gu Min's eyebrows frowned, and he said indifferently for a moment: "I heard it a little bit."
Guo Jiuchen dragged his voice and said: "Establishing an empress is a major event, and it cannot be sloppy. The empress must be chosen by us."
Gu Min's eyes were cloudy, "What does the factory owner mean?"
"Wang Qianhu and Han Qianhu's family both have marriageable daughters, both of whom are well-educated and elegant, and can be candidates for the queen. Now you have won the favor of the emperor, and the emperor is obedient to you." Guo Jiuchen opened his eyes. , slightly straightened up from the reclining chair and looked at Gu Min, "Our family wants you to speak well to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Han in front of the emperor, so that the emperor will pay more attention to them."
Gu Min lowered his head and lowered his eyelashes, pursed his thin lips, and did not immediately agree. Guo Jiuchen seemed to have expected such a reaction from Gu Min, and sneered: "Our family knows that you and the emperor are in a strong relationship, and we are reluctant to let the emperor empathize." Others. But you have to understand that you are a man after all, and the emperor cannot always favor you. The emperor bears the responsibility of spreading the branches and leaves for the emperor, and he will have a queen by his side sooner or later. Concubine and concubine, how will you deal with yourself at that time? All love and love are fake! Only the power in your hands is real, do you understand?"
Gu Min bowed his hands and saluted, with a calm face and no waves in his tone, he said respectfully: "Thank you for your enlightenment, my subordinates understand."
Guo Jiuchen's shrewd eyes swept across Gu Min's face slowly, and said in a half-yin and half-yang tone: "I hope you really understand. By the way, the case of King Pingyang has already been found. Your adoptive father will suffer more in prison because of you."
Gu Min's hands hanging on both sides of his body unconsciously clenched into fists, and hatred surged in his heart. Guo Jiuchen was threatening him with the safety of King Pingyang!
Gu Min gritted his teeth hard, and stabilized his mind, which was almost affected by hatred, then raised his head with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Guo Jiuchen, "Don't worry, Mr. Factory, this subordinate understands what to do. Will not disappoint the factory owner."
—
Early the next morning, before dawn, Shuoyu woke up Shen Ying early, washed and dressed, and walked out of the imperial tent. Surrounded by all the officials, Shen Ying came down to the hunting ground to boost the morale of the officials who participated in the hunt.
Wearing a hunting suit, Shen Ying stood facing the wind on a high platform, raised his wine bottle to all the courtiers who paid homage to him, and said proudly: "My good sons of Daying! I wish you all success in opening the Spring Hunting Banner this time. Return with a full load!"
"Thank you, the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Everyone drank the wine in their hands, took the bows and arrows from the entourage, put the quiver on their backs, stepped on the horseback, flicked the whip, and countless warriors in strong clothes rushed towards the hunting ground. The horseshoes galloped like rolling spring thunder , Rolling up thousands of dust, awakening countless birds and beasts in an instant, attracting hunters to chase after it, what a grand and magnificent scene!
The men had all gone hunting, and only some civil servants and female relatives were left in the camp. The hunting time lasted from Mao to noon. Shen Ying came down from the high platform. At this time, he called out to stop him.
"emperor."
Shen Ying stopped, turned her head and looked behind her, "What's the matter with Guo Daban?"
Guo Jiuchen looked at the dusty hunting ground in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is still a long time before the end of the hunting. The old minister has arranged some songs and dances for the emperor. I wonder if the emperor will show his face?"
Shen Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, yo, is this another person who has nothing to do and is courteous?
Guo Jiuchen was flattering the queen mother, and he had never paid much attention to him as the little emperor, but today he suddenly started to please him. I'm afraid it's fake to watch the singing and dancing, but it's true to pick the queen.
It seems that the queen's throne is much more popular than his puppet emperor, and so many people covet it.
"Okay, Guo Daban invited me so kindly, how can I let you down." Shen Ying immediately put on a smile, nodded and said to Guo Jiuchen, "Then you make arrangements first, and I will come back when I get back to the camp and change my clothes."
The wrinkles on Guo Jiuchen's face stretched out, and he saluted happily: "Old minister obeys the order."
Shen Ying took off her hunting clothes, changed into loose casual clothes, and came to the square in the middle of the camp. Guo Jiuchen had already arranged a banquet, and some courtiers and female relatives who hadn't gone hunting were also invited to watch the singing and dancing.
Shen Ying came to the upper seat and waved to Guo Jiuchen who was sitting on his right, "Guo Daban, let's start."
Guo Jiuchen clapped his hands twice, and the musicians began to play music. Dressed in light veils, the dancers with graceful figures twisted their slender waists, and came to the open space with light dance steps and began to dance lightly.
The dancers danced for a while, and suddenly the music started, and two beauties dressed in colorful clothes came from both sides, walked up to the front of the dancers and began to lead the dance. Smart and graceful, pleasing to the eye.
To be honest, if he just admired the dance, Shen Ying would definitely applaud these two beauties, but after he knew that these two women belonged to Guo Jiuchen, no matter how beautiful their faces were, they were no different from carrots and cabbages in his eyes.
But even if he felt bored again in his heart, in order to numb Guo Jiuchen, he had to put on an expression of being amazed by the two beauties, pretending that he was a good guy.The color of the faint king.
Feng Zhiyun, who followed Concubine Feng, saw the emperor staring obsessively at the two beauties leading the dance, secretly pulling the silk handkerchief in his hand fiercely, almost biting his silver teeth, wishing he could poke at the two women with his eyes. Several holes come out.
Bitch!Bitch!To use such an indecent means to confuse the emperor!
It's just dancing, and she is confident that she can dance much better than these two sluts!But which lady of the family would dress up as a dancer in public to flatter her?It's just outrageous!Such a frivolous woman is also worthy of being a concubine?
Concubine Feng noticed the small movements of Feng Zhiyun's subordinates, and knew that she was not upset, so she reached out and pulled the silk handkerchief that had been twisted into a strand out of Feng Zhiyun's hands, grabbed Feng Zhiyun's hand and patted it in the palm of her hand, comforting her in a low voice: "Don't worry, how can these vulgar fans compare with our Yun'er? The emperor won't take a fancy to them."
Feng Zhiyun looked up at the emperor who was concentrating on watching the singing and dancing, and was so wronged that he was about to cry: "But the way the emperor looks at them, it is obvious that he is interested in them, and I have been here for so long, the emperor has never looked at me directly, aunt, Do you think the emperor has forgotten what happened last night?"
Concubine Feng glanced at the "sexy" emperor, but did not answer Feng Zhiyun's question.
Based on her understanding of the emperor, the emperor is good.She is greedy for sex and loves someone faster than taking off her clothes. Although Feng Zhiyun is indeed beautiful, the most indispensable thing in the harem is good-looking women and men. This alone may not be enough to tie the emperor's heart .
Concubine Feng glanced casually at Guo Jiuchen who was sitting across from her. The queen mother wanted to keep the emperor firmly in her hands, so she naturally hoped that the queen would be hers.
A calculating light flashed in Concubine Feng's eyes. It seemed that if she wanted Feng Zhiyun to be favored by the emperor, she had to resort to some extraordinary means.
After a song and dance, Guo Jiuchen took the lead in applauding, stood up and beckoned for the two beauties leading the dance to come forward.
Guo Jiuchen asked Shen Ying: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the dance between the two of them?"
Shen Ying nodded and said with a continuous smile: "Wonderful!"
Guo Jiuchen laughed loudly, and said to the two daughters: "The emperor praises you, why don't you hurry up and thank you!"
The second daughter bowed to the emperor Yingying, looked up at the emperor shyly, her eyes were rolling, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, and she was indescribably charming.
"Your majesty, these two beauties are the daughters of Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang Bao and Han Ji's family," Guo Jiuchen finished introducing, pointing to Wang and Han, and said, "Since the emperor likes your dance, then you two will go to the emperor's dance in the future." Serve by your side!"
Shen Ying was taken aback, Guo Jiuchen didn't even ask him what he wanted, but he wanted to force these two women into him?This dead eunuch is so courageous!
However, they do have the strength to be bold. Now that Du Qianren has fallen, Guo Jiuchen is the only one in power in the court, and there is the queen mother behind him, and his meaning may represent the queen mother's meaning. Now Shen Ying, Not enough to fight them.
Shen Ying was so angry that her teeth were itching, and suddenly she had an idea, and immediately said: "Guo Daban, isn't this inappropriate? Since you are an official lady, how can you enter the palace and serve me as a palace maid? Wouldn't that be too wronged for the two beauties? "
Guo Jiuchen originally wanted to force the emperor to accept Wang and Han as his concubines, but he never expected that the little emperor would make Wang and Han his concubines first.
Guo Jiuchen originally wanted to refute, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, if the quarrel with the emperor was too stiff, wouldn't it be impossible for Wang and Han to enter the palace?
After thinking about it, as long as he can serve the emperor, even being a court lady is not bad. With these two stunning beauties in front of his eyes every day, he can hold back for a day or two, and can't hold back his mouth for five days and seven days?
So Guo Jiuchen smiled ambiguously, and said: "Being able to serve the emperor, even if it is a palace maid, is the good luck of the two of them, Mr. Wang and Mr. Han, why don't you hurry up and thank the emperor for your kindness!"
The two girls looked at each other. Although they didn't want to be court ladies, they could only kneel down and thank each other.
Shen Ying clenched her fists and scolded "dead eunuch" endlessly in her heart, but Guo Jiuchen had already made a concession, and he couldn't refuse to accept it any longer. I still don't know what will trip him up secretly!
—
The hunting in the morning was over, and Gu Min had a good harvest. He killed two sika deer, one roe deer, and several hares and pheasants. The number of prey was temporarily ranked first.
The second in line was Lin Che, who beat a sika deer less than Gu Min, and he felt aggrieved when he said it. Originally, he was the one who found the sika deer first, but Gu Min, who came later, got there first. The deer shot an arrow, but Lin Che's arrow hit the deer's leg, but Gu Min's arrow pierced through the throat, so the deer should belong to Gu Min as a matter of course.
Lin Che also didn't understand, he didn't know how he had offended Lord Gu, it was really inexplicable that he wanted to snatch so many prey in the forest without hunting.
Gu Min returned to the camp with the prey, and first asked people to take away the pheasants and hares, and prepared to make barbecue for Shen Ying in the evening.
Before he finished packing his prey, the little eunuch who was serving Guo Jiuchen suddenly came to look for him, pulled Gu Min aside, and whispered to him that the Wang family and the Han family had already entered the emperor's imperial tent, and Gu Min was asked to spend more time in front of the emperor. Say good things for the Wang family and the Han family, and make it possible for the emperor to be fortunate to her two as soon as possible.
After Gu Min heard this, he only said lightly that he knew, and asked the little eunuch to go back and report to Guo Jiuchen, saying that he would play by ear.
And in the emperor's tent, Shen Ying was also worrying about what to do with the two hot potatoes that Guo Jiuchen stuffed him, when he suddenly heard the report from the little eunuch outside that Gu Shaojun had come, she immediately took care of it.
After Gu Min came in to finish the salute, he raised his head and found two strange women standing beside the emperor. Although they were dressed in court ladies' clothes, they were much more beautiful than ordinary court ladies. They must be the Wang family and the Han family.
Shen Ying took Gu Min's arm affectionately, sat with him, and asked, "Finished hunting? How's it going? How's the result today?"
Gu Min calmly withdrew his gaze from looking at the two daughters, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, the grades are acceptable."
In fact, Shen Ying had already noticed that Gu Min was looking at Wang Shi and Han Shi, and waved to them to come over, "By the way, I haven't introduced you yet, these two beauties will be my personal maids in the future, Wang Shi Han, you two hurry up and greet Gu Shaojun."
The Wang family and the Han family saluted Gu Min, but Gu Min didn't pay attention to him, and congratulated Shen Ying dryly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting another beautiful lady."
Shen Ying laughed loudly twice, then waved to all the maids and eunuchs serving in the tent: "You all go down, I have something to say with Gu Shaojun alone."
After all the palace people went out, Shen Ying looked at Gu Min with a smile and asked, "Which one do you think is more beautiful, the Wang family or the Han family just now?"
Gu Min did not hesitate, and said flatly, "They are all beautiful."
Shen Ying nodded in agreement, "Indeed, the Wang family is dignified, and the Han family is charming, each has its own advantages." After speaking, she suddenly moved her head towards Gu Min, and asked in a low voice, "Then which one of them do you think is more suitable to be the leader?" My queen?"
Gu Min's drooping eyelids moved, and after a while, he squeezed out a few words, "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as the emperor likes it."
Shen Ying propped her elbows on the table and propped her chin with her hands, and asked jokingly: "Then you are not afraid, if I have them, I will forget you?"
Gu Min said indifferently: "Who the emperor likes and hates is not up to the subject to control. If the emperor likes those two beauties, it doesn't matter if he accepts both."
"Liar!" Shen Ying patted the table, feigning anger, "Gu Junshu, how dare you deceive the king!"
Gu Min raised his eyes and saw that Shen Ying's face didn't look like he was really angry, so he didn't stand up and salute to apologize, but calmly said: "Everything I said comes from the heart, and there is absolutely no half-word in lieu."
Shen Ying sneered in disbelief, stretched out her fingers and poked Gu Min's chest hard twice, "You said you didn't lie to me, I just looked at Lin Che a little too much yesterday, so you just got angry with me, If I really accept the two of them, then why don't you fight with me?"
Gu Min missed a beat, stared at Shen Ying's eyes in a daze, he actually found out?
Seeing Gu Min's appearance, Shen Ying knew that she had guessed right. It was because of Lin Che that Gu Min lost his temper with him yesterday, so it would be easy to handle.
"I actually don't want to be a concubine. No matter how beautiful those women are, I won't take them seriously." Shen Ying pursed her lower lip, opened her phoenix eyes slightly, and looked at Gu Min seriously. , "Jun Shu, do you believe it or not, if you are a woman, I will definitely make you queen?"
Gu Min met Shen Ying's gaze, looking at those clear pupils and himself reflected in Shen Ying's eyes, his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic.
He stood up abruptly, took a step back, distanced himself from Shen Ying, and said with a tense expression, "Your Majesty, please don't make such jokes with me."
Shen Ying also stood up and grabbed Gu Min's hand, dragged him forcefully and pressed him to the chair, then lifted Gu Min's chin, forcing him to look up at himself, "Don't you still believe what I think about you? I told you that since I have you, I will never tolerate anyone else in my eyes, and I will disband the harem for you, and I will only spoil you from now on. You are not joking, so how can I set up someone else as a queen ?”
Gu Min looked at Shen Ying, and heard him throwing the ground but not losing his grip.The lingering words of love suddenly made his mouth dry, his ears were filled with tinnitus caused by the rapid heartbeat, his thin lips moved and closed a few times, and when he opened his mouth, it was hoarse that he had never thought of.
"Your majesty... really don't want to be a queen?"
"Of course!" Shen Ying leaned forward and approached Gu Min, lowered her head slowly, when her lips were about to touch Gu Min's, Shen Ying stared at the man's slightly trembling thin lips, and asked slowly , "I will ask you one last time, Gu Junshu, do you really want me to accept Wang and Han?"
