Chapter 50

050 enfeoffed county leader

The Queen's face was bleak and her temples were Dishevelled. She robbed the ground with her head and shouted injustice in her mouth. The prince loves his mother and wants to kneel down to plead for the queen, but he is stopped by Xiao Qiyu's cold eyes.

"Does your highness also want to accompany the queen to the cold palace?" Xiao Qiyu squeezed this sentence out of his teeth coldly, and hated the cowardly Prince rather than steel.

His biological mother, Wu Bin, was also thrown into the cold palace, but Xiao Qiyu did not plead again. Just now, because of his face, he must make a filial son gesture of loving his mother in front of his father, emperor and courtiers. Now it is certain that Wu Bin poisoned Shu Fei. What he has to do now is to destroy his relatives and draw a clear line with Wu Bin.

The prince doesn't even have such an idea. He is cowardly and indecisive all day. He has a soft heart like a woman. How can such a person achieve great things? Xiao Qiyu looked contemptuously at his brother. The crown prince should be a capable man like him. Xiao Qizhen is just a stepping stone for him!

But it was strange from the beginning... First, the queen and Wu Bin were accused of poisoning together, and then the maid in the Queen's palace was killed in front of the imperial driver... Xiao Qiyu thought, anyway, the first thing at present is to protect herself.

"Don't worry, Princess Ai, I'll make the decision for you..." the emperor comforted Yang Shufei in her arms. Yang Shufei buried her head in the emperor's arms with shame: "with your Majesty's words, my concubine will die without regret."

"Where is the official book of rites?" the emperor said: "Princess Shu has served me for many years. She has a pure and good disposition. She is in the imperial palace. From now on, she will be promoted to the imperial concubine. She will take a temporary photo of the six palaces and attend the ceremony. You will hear it immediately." there is another imperial concubine above Princess Shu. It's her turn to go to the imperial concubine again. As soon as the emperor opened her golden mouth, she asked Princess yang to jump one level directly to be awarded the imperial concubine, She also gave Yang Shufei the power to take charge of the harem.

The imperial concubine Yang got up from the emperor's knee and thanked her: "my concubine, thank you, your majesty.",. But there's one more thing for my concubine. Without the help of this imperial college student today, my grievances will not be cleared up. I'm afraid I've died in the cold palace at this time. My concubine bravely asked your majesty to reward her as a lifesaver. "

The emperor's eyes turned to Shen Qingru, who was kneeling on the ground with his head down: "what the imperial concubine said. Who are you?"

Shen Qingru bowed his head and saluted in a modest voice: "my little daughter Shen Qingru, my father, Shen Xinzhi, the Prime Minister of the current Dynasty."

The emperor smiled brightly: "it's Shen Aiqing's daughter. No wonder she is so calm and fearless in the face of danger. It's a family origin. I think this woman and jun'er are..."

"Your majesty!" imperial concubine Yang's voice suddenly turned sharp, abruptly interrupted the emperor's words, and darkened Xiao Qijun's eyes. The emperor was also startled, and imperial concubine Yang resumed her former appearance of gentle jieyuhua: "Your Majesty, my concubine is not only my life-saving benefactor, but also my fate with my concubine. My concubine has no daughter, but I really want to have a clever daughter like Miss Shen."

The emperor laughed: "what the imperial concubine said is very true, but I was reckless. Since the imperial concubine likes Miss Shen, she asked Miss Shen to recognize her as her mother and give her the name of Ning'an county head and 200 families in the city. The head of Ning'an county should often go to see the imperial concubine and don't live up to the kindness she and I treat you."

Shen Qingru kowtows and thanks, and Xiao Qijun's face flashes with disappointment.

In Minghua hall.

Imperial concubine Yang retreated on the grounds that she wanted to be alone with her new daughter. Xiao Qijun, king of Wu, also retired. Only imperial concubine Huang and Shen Qingru were left in the empty hall.

Shen Qingru knelt on the ground. Imperial concubine Yang forgot to let her get up, so she had to kneel all the time. The imperial concubine sat high on the top and stroked a blue eyed Persian white cat paid tribute from foreign countries. Maybe she was a little stronger for a moment. The cat screamed and ran into the corner of the palace.

The imperial concubine seemed to think of another person in the hall at this time. She raised her hand with a smile to exempt Shen Qingru.

"I want to thank the Lord of Ning'an County for today's business." the imperial concubine smiled charming, but Shen Qingru felt that the smile was like poppy, beautiful but vicious.

"It's my duty to treat patients and save people. My mother is too polite." Shen Qingru bowed her head and answered in a regular way.

The imperial concubine looked at Shen Qingru for a long time, as if she wanted to see something from her face. Her slender jade hand pinched a Begonia flower by the window and put it on the tip of her nose.

"You are a wise man and a lifesaver of the palace. The palace doesn't want to do anything to tear down bridges. Just tell you clearly. Stay away from jun'er." the imperial concubine played with the Begonia flowers at her fingertips as if she had inadvertently warned.

"Little girl knows." Shen Qingru said in a deep voice.

The imperial concubine didn't expect Shen Qingru to promise so simply. She was stunned and couldn't help asking, "why don't you ask?"

"The little girl had no intention of having anything to do with his Highness the king of Wu. If you let her misunderstand, the little girl will be willing to avoid suspicion in the future." Shen Qingru replied with her eyes down.

"You are the eldest daughter of the prime minister's house. If you can marry jun'er, it won't be humiliating. But you feel good..." the imperial concubine pondered.

"The little girl can't climb up to the king of Wu. I guess she already has a candidate for the princess of Wu in her heart, mostly from the southern gentry." as soon as Shen Qingru said this, she saw a slight change in the face of the people on the seat. As expected, she guessed the mind of the imperial concubine.

Yang feigui is a princess of the previous dynasty. She has a noble status and is unmatched in the harem. In her eyes, Xiao Qijun, the king of Wu with the royal blood of the two dynasties, is undoubtedly the next emperor.

However, contrary to his wishes, the sensitive identity of the king of Wu has just become the reason for the courtiers to attack him, especially the newly rising northern giants. They are different from the southern gentry. The southern gentry have always been favored by the emperor. In the former dynasty, the southern gentry praised the center and held important positions. Therefore, the southern gentry who were well treated by the former dynasty mostly have some thoughts of remembering the old lord for the legacy of the former dynasty.

The newly rising northern giants have been suppressed by the southern gentry for many years. Now the establishment of the new dynasty is slowly reused. In the eyes of these people, the king of Wu is a remnant of the former dynasty. If the king of Wu becomes the next emperor, the hard won northern giants will be abandoned by the imperial court again. Therefore, their hard work will also prevent the king of Wu from being made a crown prince.

The imperial concubine knew this, but like the southern gentry, she despised the barbarians in the north. The imperial concubine undoubtedly wanted to choose a royal concubine from the southern gentry for the king of Wu, so as to win the support of the southern gentry and jointly fight against the northern giants.

The Shen family is just one of the giants in the north. Shen Xinzhi, Shen Qingru's father, is the best of the "northern barbarians" whom the imperial concubine despised.

Shen Qingru did not like the petty style of the imperial concubine. One of the reasons for the demise of the former dynasty was to emphasize the south over the north. Not only did the imperial concubine fail to see this, but it was unwise to deliberately unite the gradually declining southern gentry against the increasingly powerful northern giants.

If she is in the position of imperial concubine, she will choose a princess of Wu from the gold of the northern giants in order to win over and divide the northern giants. After all, the southern gentry have supported the king of Wu who bears the blood of the two dynasties for many years, while the northern giants who occupy more important positions are monolithic and regard the king of Wu as a remnant of the previous dynasty. If imperial concubine Yang is willing to lower her noble head to the rich families in the north, it will not be a bad thing for Xiao Qijun, king of Wu. After all, the support of the northern giants is more important than the southern gentry.

"You're very smart..." the imperial concubine continued to play with the Begonia flowers at her fingertips and smiled with a Yin measurement: "but smart people don't live long, do you know that?" as soon as her fingertips worked hard, the bright red and fragrant Begonia flowers were crushed into a pool of rotten red and thrown in front of Shen Qingru.

"Little girl, thank you for your instruction." Shen Qingru bent his knees slightly, and his face was calm. The imperial concubine gazed for a long time and waved her hand wearily: "just, kneel down."

"Yes." Shen Qingru gave a deep salute: "but the little girl wants to remind her mother that the little maid who was killed in the Kunning palace will find out who she had contacted with her family before. She still needs to be prepared early."

The imperial concubine turned white and said in a trembling voice, "you..."

"Farewell, little girl." Shen Qingru slowly withdrew from the Minghua hall, leaving the imperial concubine in doubt.

Concubine Yang is worthy to have grown up in the back palace of the previous dynasty. She is quite good at fighting in the palace. She saw early in the morning that the victim Yang Fei was the one behind the poisoning.

Imperial concubine Yang is familiar with all kinds of court means. She probably knew about the combination of youtan Borra pollen and poria cocos. The queen who happens to like worshipping Buddha sent a basin of youtan Borra. Imperial concubine Yang moved her mind and deliberately let out the wind, which attracted Wu concubines who belong to the Queen's party but want to please imperial concubine Shu to take the initiative to send Poria cocos cookies.

She specially chose the Queen's birthday party. She drank poisonous wine on the occasion of toasting the queen and deliberately poisoned her. As for the nine tail Phoenix hairpin, it was only princess Yang who deliberately wore it to annoy the queen and let the queen punish her in her anger, so as to make the play more realistic.

Yang Fei's goal was achieved. She poisoned the queen for a while. The emperor believed in her. Although she was not abandoned, she put the queen in the cold palace. The greatest benefit in this matter was imperial concubine Yang and the king of Wu. Imperial concubine Yang was granted the title of imperial concubine, which was like a deputy empress. The throne of Prince in Xiaoqi town is crumbling, and the one party of King Wu is more powerful.

Shen Qingru vaguely feels that this matter may not end here. Xiao Qiyu is thoughtful. After such a big loss, he may not give up. Therefore, what she said just now reminded the complacent imperial concubine Yang to cut the grass and get rid of the roots. Don't leave anything to Xiao Qiyu.

Xiao Qiyu was able to win the king of Wu in the last life. In addition to the dark chess of Weicheng Chaoyu, which was placed next to the king of Wu, it was Wu Bin, an exquisite mother, who instigated the queen to fight with the lady in the palace, so that Xiao Qiyu benefited. Now, Chaoyu in Weicheng has been executed by the king of Wu, and the concubines of Wu have been abandoned as commoners and put in the cold palace. She wants to see what ability Xiao Qiyu has to win the crown prince?

It was an unexpected harvest for her to be granted the Lord of Ning'an county. Shen Qingru can't wait to go back to the prime minister's house to see the expressions of Qin and Shen Muyun. What would Shen Xinzhi look like when he knew that his daughter, who had high hopes, was scolded by the emperor on such an important occasion, while another insignificant daughter glorified the lintel and was granted the county head?

It's really exciting. Shen Qingru looked at the blue sky and showed a playful smile.
