Chapter 481 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (49)

"The queen is really a good person. I believe that we will not be afraid of being alone in the palace in the future."

The virtuous concubine gently waved the round fan in her hand and strolled in the main hall lobby. In front of her were various items sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including all the food, clothing and daily necessities.

The maids who served said flattering words to their own queen. No matter what they said about the queen in their hearts, they just obeyed their master on the surface.

After all, they are not allowed to interfere in the relationship between the master and the queen, and servants should behave like servants. Those who are too nosy have been sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now only smart people who can read people's expressions are left.

Holding a round fan embroidered with flowers, Concubine Xian waved her hand in boredom, "Send it to the warehouse first, and keep the ones that can be used."

How could such good intentions be wasted? Concubine Xian felt that she and the Queen had a better understanding. The Zheng family outside the palace was thriving, and the marriage with the Shen family was the right move.

The next step is to wait for the queen's line to take power completely, and then she can safely become a concubine.

There are quite a few concubines in the harem who have the same thoughts as Concubine Xian. Most of them are old and have been struggling in the palace for many years without making any achievements. In the end, they can only give up.

For example, the new people who have just entered the palace are all full of energy and ambition. When they praise the queen for being a good person, it doesn't seem sincere, but more like sarcasm.

"Even if we get benefits, we can't stop them from talking. Our queen is really wronged."

Hongguo, who had just gone out, couldn't help complaining to Luying. There were some things that they, the servants, knew but they didn't want to tell their master about it and disturb her mood.

Lu Ying smiled and pulled Hong Guo to calm down, "Why bother with them? They are just sour grapes."

These people are interesting because they are not at all soft-hearted when it comes to enjoying themselves.

As the two senior palace maids serving Shen Yao, Luying and Hongguo are responsible for countless palace affairs on a daily basis. They know very well what kind of people are the most common in the harem. There are some things that they cannot bear if they look into them in detail.

The sisters gathered together and talked and laughed, and soon the depression was suppressed.

Hongguo regained her spirits and brought the soup prepared in the kitchen into the hall.

Because the two young masters have left the palace with the emperor, Fengyi Palace is now very quiet.

Shen Yao was lying on the couch resting alone. When she heard footsteps coming from the door, she raised her eyelids slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

She had just spent a long time dealing with palace affairs, and she was also busy last night preparing for this morning's matters, so she didn't sleep well and was a little sleepy.

"Nothing, I just brought you the honey soup that you like to drink, would you like to try it?"

This soup is not cooked casually. It is prepared by the imperial physician and contains a lot of precious medicinal materials. Just one bowl of it can be worth a lot of money.

For the sake of her health, Shen Yao drinks a bowl of blood-replenishing drink every few days.

Nowadays, other expenses in Fengyi Palace are relatively evenly distributed, except for food and drink, which ranks first in the harem.

"Pour a bowl."

The rest time was quite long and she felt a little hungry. She raised her hand and touched her belly. Shen Yao leaned on the couch with a soft pillow carefully sewn by the palace maids under her.

A few strands of her tied hair fell down mischievously, brushing against Shen Yao's pretty face, adding a touch of messy beauty.

Reaching out her jade fingers to take the soup that Hong Guo had prepared, Shen Yao pinched the spoon and scooped some soup. "Send a message outside the palace, asking She to come to the palace early tomorrow morning."

When the emperor is not around, she is the greatest authority in the palace.

It seems that the people sent by the Shen family to Jiangnan have arrived in the capital for several days. If there is any accurate news, they should give me some clear information.

Hong Guo turned around and sent the news to the Shen family outside the palace through a special channel.

The three members of the Shen family were packed up and thrown into the procession to leave the palace, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled people: ...

"This, sister-in-law"

Cheng looked at She beside her and couldn't help but clench her fingers under the handkerchief.

"Nothing. The Queen must have something to say to me," otherwise she would not have summoned her to the palace.

Thinking carefully about the major and minor events that had happened in the Shen family during this period, She quickly turned her attention to the study in the front yard.

She would definitely not get involved in the political affairs between men, but before Shen Changyu left, he said some inexplicable words to her.

If we think about it carefully now, it should be that she conveyed the message to the Queen through her mouth.

Tut tut

She calmly arranged the household affairs, especially Mrs. Shen's. "Second brother and sister-in-law, please take care of me. Mother is not in good health and cannot go out in the near future."

The implication is to keep an eye on the dishonest Mrs. Shen and don't let her run away.

Cheng nodded obediently, "Don't worry, sister-in-law," even if something happens to her, Mrs. Shen cannot be allowed to go out.

Speaking of the mother-in-law of the Shen family, she is quite annoying. It has been several years since the incident of the Yuan family, but she is still obsessed with overturning the verdict for the other party.

If it weren't for the fact that her father-in-law was still alive and her husband had a brother who could suppress him, Cheng would have been forced to give in by Madam Shen sooner or later.

"My father-in-law and his men are going out this time to better protect the Holy Chariot and the two precious young masters.

We women who stay at home cannot cause them any trouble.”

Therefore, she hoped that when she was not at the Shen family, this second brother's wife who seemed to like to play dumb could keep calm, in case someone took advantage of their unpreparedness to do something sinister and catch the Shen family off guard.

Who made the Shen family's main force now outside, and only women are in charge of the entire mansion.

The two sisters-in-law usually don't talk much, but now they told everything.

When resting at night, Cheng's head was filled with what She had said, and she slept soundly in a daze.

Cheng: ...

The next morning, She changed her clothes and entered the palace, while Cheng took people to the main courtyard. Ostensibly, this was to take care of Madam Shen, but secretly it was to prevent Madam Shen from sneaking out and causing trouble for them.

The two sisters-in-law had a clear division of labor, and everything was normal when She came back in the evening.

"Sister-in-law, what did the Queen in the palace say?" Cheng was curious about what the two people talked about and why they even kept them until the evening.

You have to know that the two of them only stayed in the palace for half a day before, and basically they entered the palace in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Today was different from the past. Could it be that the Queen had something important to tell her? Then she should follow in.

At this time, Cheng's imagination was so wild that she even forgot that She came to the palace because the queen summoned her, and it was not the normal day for her to come to the palace to pay a visit.

"The queen didn't say anything, it's just that the palace was not busy and she wanted to care about the Shen family's situation."

She tacitly concealed certain secrets that could not be revealed to others, and instead talked to Cheng about some unimportant but trivial topics that took up their time.

Cheng Qi's attention was diverted like this. When he returned to his room and lay down to sleep, he suddenly woke up, "My sister-in-law is so cunning. She even hid it from me."

I was almost fooled by my sister-in-law. How could the Queen only talk about the Shen family? She must also talk about the court issues.

Oops

Did I really miss something?

It was neither a mistake nor an offence. Anyway, the matter was in the past and She would not tell Cheng the details of the matter. If Cheng had any common sense, he would know that he should not ask about it.

The two sisters-in-law just thought that the matter was over and continued to stay in the Shen Mansion waiting for the three people who were out to come back.

Shen Yao in the palace is also waiting for the two children to return to the palace, but with the help of the system, Shen Yao can keep abreast of the two children's whereabouts, including the degree of danger around them.

"Is anyone still ready to take action?" Shen Yao had the palace accounts spread out at hand. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was really good at forging accounts. Since Shen Yao discovered the obvious bug, they began to change their thinking and think of ways to increase the quantity, trying to maintain the quality while continuing to embezzle.

It was not time to harvest the fat rats yet, so Shen Yao could only raise them patiently.

"Not only that, but they are divided into several waves of forces." The system analyzed the people who were planning to take action and found that many of them were the fish that slipped through the net left by the emperor before.

Shen Yao sneered, "They suffered a loss before and are eager to win to reverse the situation."

Leaving the palace this time gave them an opportunity. As long as they got rid of the two children, or more precisely, as long as Yu Sheng had no chance of ascending the throne, they would be able to turn things around immediately, and the suppressed family would be able to stand up again.

'Host, it seems that the plan we made at the beginning was not wrong.'

These people left behind are like mines waiting to explode, and you never know when they might explode. Taking this opportunity to dig out another wave of them is also clearing obstacles for the way ahead.

"Yes, just wait for them to take action and let the emperor realize the danger." The emperor will naturally not let these people go.

After all, they were going to assassinate him. People like the emperor value their lives the most, and any danger that could affect their lives would be nipped in the bud.

Just this mob of people gathered together? They are no match for the Yulin Guards and the Shen family.

Shen Yao felt relieved and stayed in the palace waiting for news.

The capital city is peaceful and calm because none of the main characters are here.

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the suburbs of Beijing, which are some of the key places that the emperor inspects, is suffocating.

The emperor spent the whole day in the sedan chair with several young and beautiful concubines, eating, drinking and having fun. He would occasionally show concern for the two children he brought up, and spent the rest of his time having fun.

Yu Sheng and Yu Xi had never left the palace. They finally got this opportunity and they wanted to hang their heads outside the carriage.

As the two children's grandparents, Shen Chunbai, Shen Changyu and Shen Changhe are very worried about them. They keep an eye on the children all day long and wish they could tie them to their eyes.

"Father, the emperor is still acting ridiculously." He was clearly out of the palace for an inspection, but he ended up making it seem like he was having fun, without any of the seriousness he had earlier.

Shen Changyu looked down upon the emperor more and more. Perhaps this was what it meant that time would wear off the charm. The emperor was also an ordinary person, with seven emotions and six desires, and the desire to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

From a distance he looks very wise and majestic, but up close he is just so-so.

"Don't talk too much about the emperor's affairs. We are traveling this time for the two children."

The emperor has the most guards, followed by his two children.

Who do you think the Shen family came out to protect? Of course, blood relationship is the most important.

"Father, I know, but..." Shen Changyu pursed his lips, as there were some things he couldn't say anymore.

Shen Chunbai knew that Shen Changyu was unhappy, but could a minister say that the emperor was wrong? Even if there was a problem, he could only keep it in his heart.

"Changyu, you are a good person, you know the importance of things, and you understand that some things should not be said outside.

Try to keep an eye on Chang He as much as possible during this period and let him interfere less in the team's affairs.

There are quite a few court officials who followed him this time, and the emperor is not short of people around him."

The Shen family is already very prominent in the court, and if they try to stand out again, they will be courting death.

The longer Shen Chunbai stayed in the court, the more he understood the bloody cruelty behind it.

It's a good thing that the father and son can go out to march and fight. Otherwise, due to the turmoil in the court, even if the Shen family doesn't die, they will suffer a lot.

Shen Changyu nodded in agreement, indicating that he would keep an eye on Shen Changhe and not let this man cause trouble or show off, especially since there were two children in the team.

The father and son didn't have much time to talk because they each had tasks to accomplish.

So, they chatted for a few words and then went their separate ways, only to meet again and talk at night when they were resting.

Yu Sheng and Yu Xi sat together. The carriage rumbled forward and the space inside was unusually spacious.

"Brother, how long will it take us to return to the palace? I miss our mother."

Yu Xi is an optimistic and cheerful girl. She says whatever she likes and never hides it in her heart.

Yu Sheng flipped through the books he brought with him. The teacher had already taught him the contents, but in order to consolidate his learning, he still reviewed them privately.

"It has only been a few days since I came out. I heard that I have to wait for some time. If you miss your mother, why don't you write those calligraphy and paintings so that you can show them to her when you return to the palace."

After hearing Yu Sheng's disappointing words, Yu Xi couldn't help but wrinkle her nose.

snort!

Her brother really doesn’t know how to talk. She doesn’t want to study. She is not a nerd.

Xiaoxiao complained that her brother didn't play with her much since he went to Xiefang Palace. Yu Xi rolled sideways in the carriage for a long time and couldn't stop. Xiaofu and Xiaoji couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Xiaofu and Xiaoji were the senior palace maids who were entrusted by Shen Yao with the important task of taking care of the two children personally, so they really followed Shen Yao wherever she went.

They were even more alert this time when they left the palace, fearing that something bad would happen if they made a mistake.

Seeing the two young masters talking and laughing, Xiaofu and Xiaoji were more relieved.

The master can feel more at ease in the harem because he is not affected by the emperor's absurd behavior.

"It's time for lunch. I'll go check it out. You stay here to watch over the young masters."

Xiaofu whispered something to Xiaoji, then turned and walked out of the car.

After a moment, the carriage stopped and people began to walk around.

Xiaofu and the palace servants came back with the prepared meal.

The hot meal really whetted the appetite of the two children who had been hungry for a long time. They came over and ate it all up. Then Yu Sheng was pulled out of the car by Yu Xi to move around.

There was a noisy sound coming from the emperor's carriage not far away. Yu Xi looked at it curiously, but was quickly pulled aside by Yu Sheng.

Yu Xi: ...Hmm?

"Father is busy, we won't disturb him," Yu Sheng knew more than Yu Xi. What's more, the teacher in Xiefang Palace was a real talent and was training Yu Sheng with all his heart.

"Father, what are you busy with? You haven't seen me these few days," Yu Xi puffed up her cheeks. It was obviously her who wanted to go out and play, and the father agreed to accompany her, but what happened? The father had a great time.

Father, your words are not keeping your word!
