Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Concubine Shen Shu was about to explain, but Empress Hua seemed unwilling to give her a chance, so she just smiled lightly and said, "Probably Concubine Shen Shu forgot about this matter, after all, the harem is busy, so it doesn't matter if you forget it for a while. This palace is free today, if Concubine Shen Shu is free, she can send the empress seal here within today."

Concubine Shen Shu's face was a bit ugly, and she didn't say anything for a while, Xia Huanyu frowned, and said coldly: "It doesn't need to be within today, I see that she is quite leisurely now, so I will go to Shuya Palace now Get the seal of the lieutenant general."

As soon as Xia Huanyu's words fell, Concubine Shen Shu's complexion became even more ugly, she finally gritted her teeth, and bowed to Xia Huanyu: "My concubine respectfully obeys the imperial decree." After speaking, she slowly backed out.

This long-awaited duel between Concubine Shen Shu and the new empress, which the concubines in the palace have been waiting for, has not even begun, and Concubine Shen Shu has completely lost. It's not that he's inferior in skills, it's just that he lost to Xia Huanyu's eccentricity.

After leaving Weiyang Palace, Concubine Shen Shu raised her foot and kicked towards the corner of the wall, then closed her eyes again, and after a while she calmed down the anger in her heart, she walked to Bu Huo lightly, and said softly: "Let's go, come back!" Shuya Palace."

Luya, who was following Concubine Shen Shu, helped Concubine Shen Shu up the steps, and then lowered her voice and said, "Empress Hua is really too arrogant, but because Her Majesty is now facing her, she thinks that the harem is her world. Yes. Even without a clear understanding of the situation in the palace, it is really too presumptuous to come to find fault with the master."

Concubine Shen Shu sneered, with a bit of tiredness in her eyes, "She is not overthinking herself, she is clearly targeting this palace on purpose. This palace is now the highest in the palace except her, and she has been in control before. With the power of the harem, she is a smart person. She knows that as long as I let the palace call this minister, she will have a firm position in the harem. Just look, after today, there will definitely be many concubines in the palace Take refuge in her. She is His Majesty's favorite now, but this palace is just a nominal concubine, and actually has nothing."

When Lu Ya heard Shen Shufei say this, she also lowered her head, her face was a bit gloomy, "My lady has been ups and downs in this harem for so many years, so let her be like this..."

Concubine Shen Shu sneered, and said after a long while: "Floating, this word is used well. I have been in the palace for twenty years, and I have been a palace servant who is waved around and stayed in the cold palace. I have come to the present step by step. , to have the current status. Ben Gong is naturally not a person who sits and waits for death. If she wants the empress seal, I will give it to her. But it depends on whether she can bear it."

Concubine Shen Shu returned to Shuya Palace without any delay, she just took the queen's seal and rushed to Weiyang Palace.

When we returned to Weiyang Palace, Xia Huanyu was no longer in Weiyang Palace, and Weiyang Palace could be regarded as a joyous situation. Empress Hua, who was sitting on the main seat, was also talking to a concubine with a gentle smile.

Concubine Shen Shu walked in, only to see that the person who was talking to the queen was Li Concubine in Jingyang Hall.

"Yesterday, when you came to Weiyang Palace to ask for an interview, the palace was taking a nap, so the guards refused. Now that I see you, I feel like it's too late..." Empress Hua was excited, and she fell from her wrist. He took off the white jade bracelet he was wearing, and handed it to Concubine Li, "It was a gift from His Majesty when I just returned to the palace some time ago. Today, this palace has hit it off with you, so I will give you this bracelet."

Concubine Li was flattered, and quickly took it over, thanking her sincerely. As soon as she stood up, she saw Concubine Shen Shu standing at the door. Concubine Li was startled, thinking to herself, Concubine Shen Shu must have seen the scene just now, and she might have been put in the camp of Empress Hua.

Concubine Shen Shu's methods naturally left her with lingering fears. only……

Concubine Li raised her eyes to look at Empress Hua who was sitting in the main seat, and thought about it secretly. Concubine Shen Shu may be very skillful, but just looking at the first confrontation between Concubine Shen Shu and the empress, Empress Hua calmly blocked Concubine Shen Shu from saying a word, so she must be cunning.

Moreover, Empress Hua still has His Majesty's favor. No matter when and where, His Majesty's favor is the most attractive to the concubines in the palace.

Concubine Li thought about it, then lowered her head to look at the bracelet in her hand with a smile, and said joyfully: "This bracelet is warm and transparent, it must be of the highest grade, the concubine once again thanked the empress for the reward."

Concubine Shen Shu saw her, but her expression remained unmoved in the slightest, her eyes swept across all the concubines in the palace, almost all of them received some rewards. Concubine Shen Shu secretly sneered, this Empress Hua's method of winning people's hearts is not bad.

"Empress, the queen's seal is brought here." Concubine Shen Shu walked slowly to the queen and bowed, took the queen's seal from Lu Ya, and handed it over with a smile.

Empress Hua glanced at the seal lightly, then softly ordered Qian Zhu who was standing beside her: "Qian Zhu, put the seal in the bedroom."

Qian Zhuo responded, took the seal and entered the bedroom.

Empress Hua smiled softly, helped Concubine Shen Shu up, and said softly, "Concubine Shen Shu has worked hard."

As he spoke, he took a bamboo-shaped hairpin made of red coral from a plate on the side, smiled and said to Concubine Shen Shu: "This hairpin was bestowed by His Majesty some time ago, and the color of this coral hairpin is very gorgeous. , it is a rare and excellent product, and the carving is also very good, but I don't know if it might catch the eyes of our Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shen Shu didn't dare to refuse, she quickly took it respectfully, and said with a smile: "It's still the empress who is favored by His Majesty, and I have never seen such a beautiful hairpin in all these years in the palace. "

Empress Hua burst out laughing when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "No wonder Your Majesty said Concubine Shen Shu is his right-hand man. This sweet little mouth really makes people feel like they have fallen into a honeypot."

The concubines chatted leisurely for a while, and Empress Hua smiled and said: "I let everyone come here today because I want to get to know the big guy. I'm getting old, and I've been tired all the way, and I'm recuperating. After these days, I still feel that I can’t bear it. Today I saw that all the concubines in our palace get along harmoniously, and all of them are beautiful, knowing and reasonable, so I am relieved. I am not in good health, and I don't have much energy to manage this huge harem, but I also believe that everyone can do their part. This harem is the home of His Majesty. Home, let's talk about harmony, and everything will be happy when the family is in harmony. I am new here Yes, I hope you will take care of me."

Everyone said again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare."

There was a bit of temptation in their eyes, and they secretly speculated about the meaning of what Empress Hua said.

"My palace intends to select four people from all of you present to lead the harem to assist me in handling the affairs of the harem. There should have been four concubines, noble and virtuous, but now there is only one concubine Shu, and there are three more opportunities. Everyone can recommend themselves. Let’s stop here for today, if you have an idea, you can find me in private.”

Empress Hua's smile was very sincere, her eyes swept across the crowd with a smile, she stood up slowly, and walked into the bedroom.

There were some noisy voices outside, so Qianzhuo closed the door, went to Empress Hua and poured a cup of tea, then said softly: "Your Majesty really wants to find the fourth concubine to handle government affairs?"

Empress Hua smiled, and softly said to Qianzhuo: "After sitting so upright for a while, my whole body is sore, come give me a pinch."

Qianzhu quickly put down the teapot, walked behind Empress Hua and helped Empress Hua pinch her shoulders, Empress Hua curled her mouth and closed her eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was a little tired.

"Living like this every day in this harem, it's better to go to the battlefield with a knife and kill three to five hundred people. Oh, I'm so aggrieved." Empress Hua sighed softly.

Qianzhu couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "The empress is somewhat similar to my concubine's temperament. Although the concubine grew up in the palace since she was a child, she is very tired of the intrigues in the palace. The servants watched, His Royal Highness probably also likes going to the battlefield more than staying in Jincheng."

Empress Hua also laughed, just smiled, and her smile became much shallower: "Although the two masters of your family may not like this intrigue in their hearts, they are born to be people who should live in the palace. And even if Whether they like it or not, they have no choice now. With the current status and methods of the prince, it will be a matter of time before he ascends the throne. After ascending the throne, Princess Huiguo will be the empress. The emperor and empress are destined to be locked here for the rest of their lives. In the Nine Layers Deep Palace."

Qian Zhuo bit his lips, and then said softly: "Fortunately, His Royal Highness said that he only married the Crown Princess. If there are too many women, there will be more calculations. If His Royal Highness only marries the Crown Princess, the slaves will feel that no matter where they are, Where, at least the two of them are very happy."

When Empress Hua heard this, the smile on her face gradually faded, and finally disappeared without a trace, "I hope so."

After rubbing her shoulders for a while, Empress Hua asked Qianjue to stop, and walked to the bookshelf to pick up a book to read, and then saw the Queen's seal that Qianjue had just put on the bookshelf.

Empress Hua picked up the empress seal with a smile, and turned her head to look at Qian Zhuo, "This is something that everyone in the harem wants, so you leave it indiscriminately like this, and you will cry if it disappears."

Hearing the words, she hurriedly walked to Empress Hua, and responded softly: "I don't know where to put it properly, and I searched for a long time before and couldn't find a hidden place."

Empress Hua turned the seal over and said with a smile: "At least I have to find a box to put it in. There should be a box for this thing before." Her eyes fell on the seal, but she suddenly paused.

Qianzhuo hurriedly found a rosewood box from the dressing table, and as soon as she walked in front of Empress Hua, she heard Empress Hua's voice in a trance: "This empress seal is fake."\u003c
