37 years old, I became a harem concubine

He got up and walked out of the house, and saw the young eunuch he had seen in the palace standing outside the fence, and the young eunuch had a smile on his face: "Master Daochuo, this slave is here to take you into the palace according to the emperor's order." .”

His words and the wind and snow rushed to Shen Huan's face.

How amazing, before this moment, he thought that all his plans had come to nothing, but in the blink of an eye, what he wanted fell from the sky again.

He knelt down on the ground and received the decree to thank him: "The poor nun complies with the decree, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"It's cold on the ground, master Daocuo, get up quickly, this servant is going to take you back to the palace."

"Let's go now?"

"Yes, I just want you to spend a new year in the palace." The attitude of the young eunuch is different from that in the palace before. Dao Chuo used to be a nun who didn't know why, but now he is a nobleman who was accepted into the palace by the emperor himself. These slaves naturally follow the limelight.

Shen Huan glanced at the room: "The poor nun went back and said a few words to them. By the way, my father-in-law, there is a junior sister next to the poor nun, who is very close to the poor nun. Can you take her with you when you enter the palace this time? Take care."

"This..." The emperor only said that he would take Dao Chuo into the palace, but he didn't say anything about how Chuo would lead someone.

The young eunuch was a little bit embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he agreed: "Yes, but master Daochuo, hurry up, there is going to be a heavy snowfall today, and the road will be difficult if we go late."

"Okay." Shen Huan nodded and turned back to the old man's house.

After the eldest son's description, the people in the room knew that people from the palace were coming to pick up Shen Huan. Qingzi had a suppressed secret joy on her face, Master Mingguang chanted Buddha's name with lowered eyebrows, and Huijing Huineng was curious.

As soon as she saw him coming in, Haruko jumped up and down to his side.

Shen Huan patted her hand, looked at the people in the room, and said: "I wanted to be lively and lively with everyone, but I didn't expect an errand to come to me. It's really a pity."

"The poor nuns hereby wish you all peace, joy, health and success."

Huineng looked at the servants in the yard through the gap in the window: "Those people are really from the palace, why are they so urgent that they are chasing after heavy snow?"

Shen Huan knew that she cared about herself, and said with a smile: "It's someone from the palace. When I was copying Buddhist scriptures in the Great Buddha Hall, the manager once presented my copied Buddhist scriptures. I think I want to copy some more." Read the scriptures."

As soon as he heard that this happened, Huineng couldn't stop him, he just said: "The junior sister is busy doing things in the palace, when I return to Shaoshan Liangzi, let's have a good talk."

"..." This time, I'm afraid it will be a lifetime.

Although she only got along with Huineng for a month, Shen Huan knew that she truly regarded herself as a junior sister and took care of everything she could.

But he couldn't say anything about the inside of the palace. If he didn't say it, he could prevent someone with a heart from taking advantage of him in the future, which would harm her as well as himself.

So Shen Huan nodded and looked at her: "Okay..."

The old man's wife was reluctant to let him go, and seeing that he was about to leave, she hurriedly said: "When the master returns to Beijing, he will also come to my house to rest. If there is anything to do in the future, I will invite the master to do things."

The ardent love in her eyes is like a nanny, and Shen Huan's eyes are hot: "Okay, if there is a chance in the future, the poor nun will come."

"The poor nun left."

He clasped his hands together, nodded slightly, and turned to go out.

Leaving the warm house, the cold wind immediately blows on the body.

The young eunuch sent him to the carriage and told him: "Master Daochuo sit down, and the servant is driving the carriage."

"shelf!"

The horse-drawn carriage was much faster than the ox cart, and it was a good horse in the palace, and it was only slightly bright when it returned to the palace.

The young eunuch led Shen Huan and Qingzi outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and asked them to wait here, and then went in to report back to ask the emperor what he meant.

He is An Ning's godson, and he is worthy of the face of the lower class. Seeing him coming, he whispered: "The emperor just took a rest, let's talk about something tomorrow."

"Where's my godfather?" He was outside, and he didn't dare to deal with it casually. The young eunuch heard that the emperor had fallen asleep, so he could only look for An Ning.

The eunuch said: "My father-in-law just passed by, you can still meet him if you go now."

"Okay, I'll find you for a drink in two days."

The young eunuch ran over like a cat without making a sound, and really blocked An Ning who hadn't rested yet. He first coughed respectfully to An Ning, and put the clothes in An Ning's hand on the screen: "Godfather, Master Dao Chuo's son has been brought back, where does the emperor want to place him?"

"Your boy runs fast." An Ning looked at the snow on his head that had already melted into water, and said, "The emperor sent a message to let it be placed in the Great Buddha Hall behind the Compassionate Ning Palace, where they copied scriptures before."

"This?" The young eunuch was dumbfounded, "Where do you put him?"

"Son, I thought..." People were admitted into the palace, at least they had to be granted a position, but who would have thought that they would be allowed to live in the Great Buddha Hall, which would put people in a difficult situation.

If you say you are a monk, you have been lucky enough to be visited by the emperor, and if you say you are a concubine, you don't even have a decent position or a place to live.

It's okay if the emperor thinks about it once in a while, but if there is no grace, those in the palace who watch people order food can grind people to death.

In fact, don't talk about him, An Ning can't understand the emperor anymore.

But if you don't understand it, you can't understand it. That's the master, and there is no need for them to understand it.

An Ning kicked Xiao Luzi's ass: "Hurry up and do something."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Luzi immediately realized that he was too worried about eating carrots, kowtowed to An Ning and walked back along the road.

Shen Huan and Qingzi, who were standing outside the Qianqing Palace, were bumpy all night, not in a good mood, and when they heard Xiaoluzi's footsteps, they all looked at him.

Xiao Luzi said: "Master Daochuo and slaves, the emperor personally ordered you to stay in the Great Buddha Hall behind the Palace of Compassion and Ning."

……

Both Shen Huan and Qingzi were stunned for a moment.

Shen Huan came to her senses first, and said to Xiao Luzi, "Then please trouble Eunuch."

"Don't bother, Master Daochuo will make it easy tonight. The servant will go to the House of Internal Affairs to get some things tomorrow, and see if there is anything that needs to be replaced. I will also buy what needs to be added."

"Maybe I will have to rely on Master Daochuo in the future." Holding a lantern in his hand, he led the way for Shen Huan. The already slightly bright sky vaguely outlines the outline of the palace wall, which is very beautiful.

Shen Huan didn't answer his question, but just smiled.

The three entered the Great Buddha Hall of Compassionate Ning Palace with ease. It was used as the residence of the people in the nunnery before, and it was cleaned well. But when the people in the nunnery left today, the bedding was taken away by the maids of Xinzheku for cleaning, and the kang was not burned. .

The inside of the house is no different from the outside.

Looking at the empty room, Xiao Luzi felt a headache deeply, and said to Shen Huan: "Master Daochuo, please sit down first, I will find someone to clean up now."

Shen Huan sat on the bare kang, "Trouble me, father-in-law."

As soon as he left, Qingzi, who didn't want to see her wife being wronged, immediately exploded, walking back and forth in the empty room: "If you don't want someone to come, don't ask someone to pick it up. What's the matter with letting your wife live here!"

"Qingzi." Shen Huan called her.

Qingzi paused, and sat down beside him, still couldn't help it: "I am sad."

Shen Huan sat upright and looked around the room: "You haven't seen him, but after meeting him, you will understand what he does."

"...It's impossible to be born with three heads and six arms, yes, it must look like a Rakshasa!"

Shen Huan liked her childishness after so many things, and said: "No, he looks very..."

Shen Huan couldn't think of a particularly appropriate word for a while, so she thought for a while and said, "Duanxiu."

"On the surface, the two of us are monks. He is more of a monk than a monk. If he wears a lotus crown and Taoist robes, everyone will say that the fairy has come down to earth."

"Heaven's proud son, he thinks highly of himself, is suspicious, ruthless and ungrateful."

"He came out of the palace to pick me up, not because of this or that kind of affection, it was purely driven by that bit of desire."

"So, I'm not angry at being placed here. I didn't expect anything from him in the first place, so I can't say I was disappointed."

Speaking of which, Shen Huan is also thankful that he is not as pure-hearted and ascetic as his appearance, otherwise he will not be able to enter the palace even if he tries his best.

Haruko slowly leaned against him and fell silent.

After a while, Xiao Luzi came with a few young eunuchs, spread a new bedding on the kang, put footrests, tables, small tables, and many miscellaneous things.

After packing up, it was already daylight.

He said to Shen Huan: "The master lives first, and you can ask the little master next to you to go to the imperial dining room to pick up the daily food. If there is something urgent, you can ask the eunuch guarding the gate of the Palace of Compassion to Ning to find the servant."

Naturally, Shen Huan couldn't make people busy for nothing, so she took out ten taels from the 20 taels of silver and handed it to him: "I'm too shy, father-in-law, don't think it's too little, take it to have some wine."

"This..." Xiao Luzi knew that they were rewarded with 20 taels of silver for entering the palace, and Shen Huan gave him ten taels, so he only had ten taels of silver with him.

After thinking about it, he still took it: "Master Dao Chuo rests first, and this slave will leave."

There is an extra living person in the palace, and he knows everything he wants to know.

The queen sat in the first seat, and waited for the concubines below to greet her, and said with a pleasant face: "Everyone, did you sleep well last night, today is New Year's Eve, you have to take good care of yourself, and you can't miss the seat."

There are few people in the palace, and there is only one concubine, Concubine De.

Below are Concubine Zhang, Concubine Rong, Concubine Lan, and noblemen.

Nobles below are not qualified to pay respects to the empress, Chang Zai promises that they will only pay respects to the empresses of the palaces in their own palaces.

So the hall was empty, and the queen's words still echoed.

Concubine De accepted her words, and said: "I don't know if the Empress has written this year, my concubine wants to ask for a pair, and hang it in the hall for auspiciousness."

"You come to Ben Gong here every year to ask for calligraphy, do you regard Ben Gong as a book writer?"

"The concubines don't dare," Concubine De said with admiration, with a look on her mother's face that she misunderstood me, "Whoever makes He Gong get the emperor's praise for the words of the empress, if the concubines don't ask you, they can ask someone else to go."

What she said made the queen happy, and she covered her mouth with her armored hand and smiled: "You are the monkey spirit."

"I've written it, and I'll give you two copies when you leave later."

Concubine De was overjoyed: "Thank you, Empress."

The author has something to say:
