37 years old, I became a harem concubine

All the people in the hall, whether they were concubines or wives of officials, stood up and knelt down to pay respects: "Concubine/Wife pays homage to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager will be a thousand years old."

On such occasions, it is most suitable to kneel down and worship, after all, it is the Empress Dowager's birthday once a year, so it should be more grand.

The queen mother who was bowed down by everyone seemed to be in a good mood, raised her hand and said: "Get up, most of them are familiar faces, there is no need for so many etiquettes, and there is no chance for success."

The queen who was sitting next to her said: "It's not every day for the Queen's mother to celebrate her birthday. Everyone wants to show respect in front of the Queen's mother and make you happy."

"Happy, the Ai family is happy every day." The queen mother smiled, like a happy old lady, she glanced at the hall full of people who came to celebrate her birthday, and said, "As long as you are all well, the Ai family will be satisfied gone."

"By the way, the Ai family has been very close to the emperor's new nobleman Zhaoxi recently. Unexpectedly, although nobleman Zhaoxi is a monk in a rural nunnery, he is very proficient in Buddhism."

"Your Majesty Zhaoxi, come forward and show everyone, don't stay in that inconspicuous place."

Shen Huan, who was named, had no reason to back down, so she could only go forward and knelt down to salute her: "The concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager. Compared to Haoyue, it's just that Xingzi is very ugly compared to Haoyue."

"Look at it, look at it, the way you talk is really heart-warming. I can't complain that the emperor wants to take you into the palace. Ai's family often asks you to wait on them these days."

A nobleman actually asked the Queen Mother to mention it once and twice on such an important occasion, and everyone couldn't help looking at the nobleman Zhaoxi standing in the middle of the hall.

I saw that the nobleman Zhaoxi, who was deeply loved by the emperor, was wearing a water-colored cloak with magnolia embroidered patterns of fine color, which was perfect for wearing on a slender body.

Some high-status wives, such as Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Sun, have seen Shen Huan's whole picture from the corners. Except for the two, everyone else was extremely surprised.

This nobleman Zhaoxi actually looks exactly like Shen Shi, the continuation of Chen Fangyue, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, no, he was completely made according to that mold.

Many wives know Shen Huan. The big wife in Chen's house sold Huaiyu and treated the old lady harshly. Everyone who went there saw the face of Shen Huan, who often lives in the deep house, and was deeply impressed by that beauty. , it's hard to forget.

This nobleman Zhaoxi...

Immediately, he was a little unsteady, and said rustlingly: "Your Majesty Zhaoxi and Mrs. Shen really look alike."

The queen mother on the seat clapped her hands, "It seems that some people, like the Ai family, will also be confused by the nobleman Zhaoxi and Mrs. Shen."

"Speaking of which, Mrs. Shen and the royal family are also destined. When Chen Fangyue was here, the emperor didn't have time to go to the Chen residence. After he left, the emperor had time to come to the Chen residence. What a twist of fate."

"With so many years of friendship between the monarch and his ministers, Chen Fangyue probably won't be able to close his eyes underground."

At the beginning, the wives of the officials echoed a few words, but gradually no one dared to speak.

The meaning of the Queen Mother's words is so strange, it seems to be saying that the deceased Shen Shi had a relationship with Chen Fangyue when Chen Fangyue was still alive, and Chen Fangyue's death was not easy...

This makes people wonder, if this noble Zhaoxi is Shen Huan, wouldn't the emperor... kill a capable courtier for a woman.

Just when the atmosphere in the hall was treacherous, Mrs. Wu stood up and said, "Empress Dowager, my wife thinks that nobleman Zhaoxi and Mrs. Shen just look alike."

The queen mother looked at her with unpredictable eyes: "You have a different opinion.

"My wife has a good relationship with Mrs. Chen, and her understanding of him ranks second in front of the people here, and no one dares to be number one."

She walked up to Shen Huan, walked around her, and said to the Empress Dowager: "Although Mrs. Zhaoxi looks like Mrs. Shen, she is not Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen is full of books, transparent and flawless, with a compelling aura. Mr. Zhaoxi is a complete monk."

The official wife in the palace breathed a sigh of relief and agreed again and again.

What can I do if I don't agree, I can't just follow the Queen Mother's words and say that the emperor has a relationship with the Shen family, isn't that causing trouble for myself.

The smile on the Empress Dowager's face changed a bit, she looked at Mrs. Wu and Shen Huan: "You still have sharp eyes, you can see that the Ai family is confused."

Mrs. Wu hurriedly said she didn't dare: "My wife just gets along with Mrs. Chen a lot, please forgive me, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager glanced at her and waved her to step back, sat down on the throne, waiting for everyone to present all the gifts they had prepared, and sat at the front on a chariot, preparing to go to Changyin Pavilion to listen to a few plays as usual, and then Open the table.

Shen Huan, who had just been watched by the crowd, also stood up and walked out with the flow of people.

He gave way to everyone who was going forward, and his pace was not fast, and soon he fell behind, bordering the team of officials and wives, and then getting closer and closer to Mrs. Wu.

When the sleeves were rubbed between the two, Shen Huan asked Mrs. Wu: "Has the Luoxue Pavilion in Mrs. Gan's house been renovated this year? Borrow it for a while."

Going to Suiqian, Shen Huan lived in Luoxuexuan after being brought out from the Chen Mansion by Madam Wu, which is the best place to enjoy the snow scenery in the Zhao Mansion, the scenery is beautiful and magnificent.

Mrs. Wu shook her hand holding the handkerchief, her eyes turned red, and she looked at him: "Thanks to my lord, the Luoxuexuan in the mansion has to be cleaned every year after winter. You can take a look."

"It's just that there used to be an old man living there, but now the old man is gone, so I don't know if he is okay."

Shen Huan nodded, "Okay, everything is fine."

His sleeves were pressed against Mrs. Wu's sleeves: "Although I have experienced some things that I can't tell people, but I still have the present after all, you see." Shen Huan took a step back and walked around on the bottom of the flower pot.

The dress was winding, and the face was innocent and beautiful, just like when the two met for the first time.

Madam Wu narrowly held back her tears, her hands trembling slightly, and she took his hand. She was speechless, afraid that the voice in her throat would leak out, so she nodded repeatedly.

The few people seemed to be separated into two pieces, but they were not far apart. Soon, Changyin Pavilion arrived.

Changyin Pavilion is a spacious three-story building. Whenever there are major festivals or the birthdays of the emperor and queen, people will be called here to watch operas and listen to operas. With the rise of various music and music in recent years, the number of people coming here has increased.

Shen Huan and Mrs. Wu sat back in their respective seats, but before their moods were different, there were some smiles on their faces that were hard to detect without looking closely.

And the Changyin Pavilion on the third floor began to sing. The good-looking actors swayed the water show on the stage, with stretched postures and beautiful movements. The queen mother sitting at the front couldn't help applauding.

The concubines, who seldom have any entertainment on weekdays, also stared intently, with a bit of solemnity removed from their faces.

Suddenly, just when everyone applauded because of the actor's somersaults, a few whip bans that were almost drowned out by the singing voice attracted everyone's attention. Shen Huan got up with the crowd and saw that she was wearing a dragon embroidered dress. Yu Wenyue, who was dressed in a bright yellow court dress with twelve chapters and twelve chapters, was sitting on a walking chariot, surrounded by solemn court ladies and eunuchs, with a majestic appearance and a nine-fold crown.

This was the first time Shen Huan saw him in court clothes, and he looked even more unattainable than he in regular clothes and uniforms, like a god of the nine heavens, invisible and untouchable.

The sound of banning the whip stopped, and the walking chariot stopped. Yu Wenyue didn't ask the eunuch to help him, but stepped on the eunuch who was used as a stool, and got off the chariot.

Shen Huan and his concubines and officials' wives naturally saluted and said long live.

"Flat body."

"Thank you long live." When called, Shen Huan, who was not good enough in front of the Empress Dowager, Empress Concubine De, and several concubines, naturally did not move forward without insight, but quietly stood a few steps away from Mrs. Wu.

As for Yu Wenyue and the Queen Mother, the atmosphere was slightly strange.

The emperor was very courteous, first he gave the queen mother a gift, and then asked the queen mother what dramas she likes to listen to, and ordered two for her.

The Empress Dowager said: "Ai's family is old and useless, and it's really not right for the emperor to go there himself."

Yu Wenyue didn't answer her words, but only ordered An Ning to ask the people in Changyin Pavilion to change to a play, which was a must-play when celebrating birthdays.

With the sound of the music quickly changing on the stage, the Empress Dowager's expression turned ugly.

She looked at Yu Wenyue, thinking about what evil she had done to give birth to such an evil son who would not give up until she was mad at herself!

When giving birth to him, it was difficult to give birth, and I almost lost my life. When I was born, it was someone else's son, and I only kissed others. Whenever I asked him to do something, I would look at myself with such disgusting eyes, as if I saw through my whole body and brought me With a high-level scrutiny.

How good it would be if he only had Yaoshi, the obedient Yaoshi would succeed him, and he would never be angry with himself.

The more I thought about it, the more angry the Queen Mother was, but Gu Nian sat down in front of everyone and listened for a while. After a while, she helped her forehead and said: "The Ai family has a headache, you can go back after you have fun, the Ai family first Go back and lie down."

As soon as they heard that she was suffering, the queen, concubine De and others asked anxiously. The queen mother waved her hand and looked at Yu Wenyue: "With the emperor here, you can have fun."

With that said, he left with his palace servants.

Originally, it was to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, but the Queen Mother left first, and the concubines and wives looked at each other in blank dismay.

Especially the wives and concubines are alright, they are all the emperor's women, and they can't see the emperor in the harem on weekdays, but now they can hang around in front of the emperor openly, not to mention how happy they are.

Seeing the emperor surrounded by the crowd of Yingying and Yanyan, Shen Huan walked to Mrs. Wu silently.

Mrs. Wu elbowed him: "Tsk tsk, no wonder so many people are rushing, look at that face and figure, who doesn't admire it."

Mrs. Sun was frightened by her presumptuous words, and almost wanted to cover her mouth.

That's the emperor, with that face and figure, you should choose Chinese cabbage!

Shen Huan was also amused: "That's right, he has an attractive face and is an emperor who holds power. Only others have ever admired him."

"What about you?" Mrs. Wu leaned over and asked.

Shen Huan froze for a moment.
