Chapter 468: The Situation Where the King Does Not See the King

"Your Majesty, how can such a matter be handled like this!" The Queen swayed and said anxiously.

As soon as I said it, I knew it was wrong.

The emperor threw the zhezi in his hand violently on the table, making a loud sound. There was silence in the royal study room, and the eunuchs and palace people all shrank their necks tightly.

"Isn't that what the Queen means? What does the Queen think should be done? What is the Queen planning inside?" The Emperor raised his head and his cold eyes fell on the Queen's face.

The queen was so frightened that she knelt down with a thud, her vest feeling cold.

"Your Majesty, I am speechless. I am afraid of chilling the hearts of all my officials."

"The Queen has so many things to think about. She almost thinks about them all for me. She refuted the Queen Mother's wishes and then refuted my wishes. The Queen alone can be the Queen Mother and me!"

The emperor's eyes were as sharp as hooks, and they fell on the queen with some scrutiny.

The queen cried out sadly, her eyes turning red: "Your Majesty, I dare not speak ill of you and the Queen Mother. My love for you and the Queen Mother can only be expressed by God. You... how can you say such things to me? concubine!"

The emperor did not speak, but his eyes still fell on the queen's face. The queen did not dare to move, only trembled slightly, and her whole heart was lifted.

It took a while before I heard the emperor's calm voice: "Queen, please get up. You must never discuss your mother's affairs in vain again."

The shivering palace servants stood up hurriedly and helped the queen.

"Your Majesty, I made a mistake today!" The Emperor stood up and lowered his head, regardless of his weak feet.

"Go down and have another banquet. You don't have to choose anyone. Let's take a look at it after a while. If you have something you like, look at it in private first and then report it to you when the selection is made tomorrow!"

The emperor immersed himself in the book again, waved his hand and said.

"Concubine, please leave!" The queen retreated step by step. When she reached the door, she turned around and walked out. When she walked outside the door, her feet suddenly became weak. Fortunately, a palace maid quickly helped her and let her go. Stand firm.

Taking a deep breath, the queen suppressed the panic in her heart. At this moment, she really crossed the line. The handkerchief in her hand was crumpled into a ball, and finally slowly loosened it. She could do nothing for the time being. Do……

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that her face was still pale, the personal palace maid hurriedly whispered with concern.

The queen dragged her slightly weak legs and walked forward slowly. She had just acted too hastily and lost her normalcy. It would be fine to choose the concubine after two or three years! She could secretly communicate with the person she was determined to enter, and even if it was not necessarily the position she wanted to enter her son's Prince Zhou's palace in the end, she could still take another position.

Of course, some of them will be a little older when the time comes, so just choose the younger ones among them.

With this thought in mind, she felt that it was not irreversible, so she took a few maids and eunuchs to her palace. She had to discuss some details with her son.

This last banquet will have a wider audience. Everyone from eleven to fifteen years old can see each other, with the focus on those around eleven years old.

Shao Wanru left quietly, but it attracted the attention of many people.

The fact that Duke Xingguo's palace recognized an orphan girl, and that she was the daughter of the former Duke Xingguo and Princess Qinghua, spread among the family, and many people were waiting for the newly recognized Miss Shao Wu. When she appeared in front of others for the first time, she was told that Miss Shao Wu was a filial piety and had to go to Yuhui Temple to observe mourning for her deceased biological father and mother for three years.

For a time, the entire aristocratic family circle in the capital was full of praise for Miss Shao Wu.

But there was another piece of news that caught many aristocratic families off guard, disrupting many people's plans and causing many people to no longer care about other families' business.

The Queen and the Queen Mother are holding a banquet, and it is the largest banquet ever. It is said that it is to select candidates for the princes and concubines, but some people secretly said that this time it is just a formality, and they may not be selected, saying that the emperor's heirs She is still too young and it is not appropriate to get married at this time.

When this rumor came out, many young ladies of the right age and their parents were very anxious, and many of them were targeting Prince Yue's Palace and Prince Zhou's Palace.

These two are the elders. A direct descendant is the most likely candidate. As for Prince Chen's Mansion, everyone feels that they should avoid it as far away as possible. His identity is embarrassing and he is absolutely unpopular. Coupled with his morbid condition of not living long, who can Nor is he willing to send his daughter into the pit of fire.

And the last King Xin still has the temper of a child. According to his appearance, I am afraid that even if he grows up, he will not have any thoughts about the throne, or even if he has thoughts, it is impossible, but in this life Xian Wang should not be wrong, there are some that he likes very much, at least one word is "stable".

This is the last chance for many young ladies from aristocratic families who have reached their age. Since it is the last chance, they must seize it. For a time, the clothes and accessories related to women's grooming in the capital suddenly became scarce, leading to a large number of people in this field. Shop business.

The brand of Dieyi Zhai has also been really developed through this wave of business.

When the news reached the mountain, Shao Wanru was wearing a silk robe and sitting with Master Mingqiu, listening to the scriptures. He looked extremely peaceful with his eyes closed and his palms closed.

Yu Jie came in and gently pulled her sleeves. Shao Wanru opened his eyes slightly and saw her winking at him, stood up slowly, walked outside the Buddhist hall, and then walked to a corner Stand firm everywhere.

"Miss, it's going down the mountain over there!" Yu Jie tilted her head to the east.

That direction is the direction where Shao Yanru lives, which is opposite to the west direction where Shao Wanru lives. There is a long distance between the two yards, but this does not prevent Shao Wanru from seeing Miss Shao on the first day she came here. The maid sent said that Miss Shao wanted to conceive a painting. She had been in the quiet room for the past few days, but she would not meet Sister Shao Wanru until she came out of the quiet room.

This was said in an extremely polite manner, and he also brought a gift, saying that in the next period of time, the two sisters would help each other in the nunnery.

But until now, the two of them have never met, and now they are in a hurry down the mountain.

Since the two people were destined to face each other, Shao Wanru sent Yujie over early to keep an eye on Shao Yanru's movements.

"What's the emergency?" Shao Wanru asked calmly. She was not surprised by the result!

Shao Yanru has never been an easy person to deal with!

Today, Shao Wanru is dressed extremely simply. From the outside, he looks like a nun with hair in cultivation. His long hair is only held up by an ordinary white jade hairpin. At this moment, his watery eyes flickered twice. Look east.

"It's said that the lady in the mansion is sick. She's very ill and is very serious. We're calling her down the mountain!" Yu Jie reported in a low voice.

The lady in the house is sick, and her illness is urgent and serious? Then she's not the only one to be summoned!

"Have you ever asked when you will come back?" Shao Wanru said softly.

"She probably won't come back. The slave asked that all the things have been moved away, even the paintings in the quiet room before. She said that she wanted to serve the wife well by her bed, and she might come back when. , or maybe you won’t come back, so you have to bring everything you need to bring!”

Yujie had secretly inquired from several nuns who helped deal with the debris.

Shao Wanru smiled softly. As soon as he went up the mountain, Shao Yanru's departure was inevitable. Both of them were daughters of the Duke of Xingguo, but he went to the nunnery to observe his filial piety, and he stayed there for three years. As for Shao Yanru came here to learn painting. Judging from the looks of it, it would only take about half a year at most.

Previously, in order to say that she was dedicated to studying painting on the mountain, she specially built a quiet room in the courtyard on the mountain and spread the word that she would not come down the mountain until she completed her studies.

It's just that compared to his filial piety, his talent for studying painting is really far behind.

If Miss Shao continues to stay, it will only make people feel inferior, and even people may say that Shao Wanru's parents are also her aunt and uncle.

My cousin is observing filial piety. Is she in a good mood to sit here and watch the wind and rolling clouds, laughing and dancing with her pen and ink, with a leisurely attitude!

Sure enough, I couldn’t hold it in for many days, so I found a reason to go down the mountain!

At this time in the last life, Shao Yanru was still studying on the mountain and only went down the mountain around summer, instead of leaving in a hurry at this time. Although the wife of the Duke of Xingguo has old health problems, if she is treated properly, she will not get sick all of a sudden. If he couldn't afford it, he had to have Shao Yanru personally deliver the medicine to the bedside.

Avoiding the edge for a moment, I happened to be in the same situation. Now is not the best opportunity for the two to meet. At this time of the storm in the capital, Shao Yanru will definitely not be able to be alone after leaving Yuhui Temple.

It was no longer possible for her to maintain her image as an extraordinary and talented woman like in her previous life. In the end, even after entering the palace as a beloved concubine, she still made people feel noble, self-proclaimed and unparalleled in elegance.

"I heard that her quiet room is very well built. You can ask me later if I can use her free quiet room?" Shao Wanru narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to pull on his silk clothes. , said with a faint smile.

Shao Yanru's courtyard is the best courtyard in the entire Yuhui Nunnery. It was built on the basis of the original Yuhui Nunnery after major renovations.

Just like the room she lives in, it was Princess Ruian who helped renovate it and designed it before letting her live in it. It is naturally different from other ordinary incense rooms, and it is also different from other rare rooms. The pilgrims’ incense rooms from the previous night were also located in the same place.

Princess Ruian was short of time and only renovated it slightly. However, Shao Yanru's courtyard and the quiet room inside were said to have taken one or two months to complete.

Outsiders only thought that Miss Shao had a temporary idea because of Master Mu Pushan's painting skills, but in fact, she had made preparations early, and then she was allowed to go up the mountain.

Her courtyard and her quiet room are the best places in the entire Yuhui Nunnery.

"I'm afraid Master Pushan won't agree." Yu Jie said awkwardly.

"What are you doing here? Since the fifth lady came up the mountain to practice filial piety, how could you be so neglectful? If you just come here for the sake of fame, you don't really have filial piety. Fifth lady, you should go down the mountain! "Before Shao Wanru could speak, a cold snort suddenly came from the corner, and a nun in gray clothes stood in front of them with a mocking look on her face.
