Gong Jin put the white fungus soup on the imperial table, and asked Zhou Sheng who was reviewing the memorial in a soft voice, "The emperor, and the concubine are asking to see you outside the hall, do you see?"

Zhou Sheng paused after hearing the words, "Hebi, what did she come to do with me?" Then suddenly remembering that Hebi's father was a well-known wealthy man in Beijing, he asked Gong Jin to bring people in.

After he came in, he first submitted a list, "I heard that there was a lot of water in Henan, so my father joined a few merchants and planned to do his own thing."

Zhou Sheng glanced at the list, and there was joy on his face. He praised Hebi's father without hesitation at the moment, and later said that he would visit Hebi's palace in the evening.

During the time when Rou Bian was called by the Queen Mother to recite sutras, He Bian became Zhou Sheng's new favorite for some time.

However, a few days before his wife, Shen Ling was diagnosed with a happy pulse by the imperial physician.

At this moment, Shen Ling's limelight overwhelmed everyone.

Inside Kunning Palace, the queen mother took Shen Ling's hand and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, this is really great news. Yan'er, you must take good care of your baby, and give birth to Ai's family in the future. The prince."

Zhou Sheng, who had rushed to hear the news, just heard this sentence, he couldn't help but pause, and he couldn't help but feel a complicated feeling in his heart. But when he arrived in front of the Queen Mother and Shen Ling, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he said something to make Shen Ling pay attention to his body.

Shen Ling saw him come in, with a slight smile on her face. From now on, she will have a son next to her. It doesn't matter how Zhou Sheng is to her anymore, so she seems to be listening carefully. Looks like, but I don't know where to turn my mind.

The Queen Mother was still worried that Shen Ling was not resting well because of them, so she interrupted Zhou Sheng and took him away.

After Zhou Sheng came out of Kunning Palace, he watched the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace and spent a long time in the Imperial Garden. If Yang Liyan really gave birth to a prince, then according to the practice of the dynasty, the eldest son born to the queen would definitely be asked by ministers to ask for the crown prince. After Yang Liyan entered the palace, Zhou Sheng was already very troublesome. If a prince were added, it might become a joke to bring down the Yang family.

The more Zhou Sheng thought about it, the more unpleasant he was. I don’t know when, since the cousin who had been so affectionate and righteous to him suddenly seemed to be out of his control. Otherwise, as long as she is willing to take action against the concubines, she will immediately have an excuse to snub her or hand over the palace power to other concubines.

As it is now, the concubines underneath respect Yang Liyan, Gong Quan is firmly in her hands, and the queen mother is supporting her, even if she wants to find fault, she can't find it.

Zhou Sheng spent a long time in the Royal Garden, still not feeling well, so he planned to go to the palaces of several concubines to talk to them. It's just that Roubing has always been soft and tight. The queen mother summoned her to recite the scriptures every day. She didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on her face. If she mentioned her troubles to him, I was afraid she would not be able to say anything. He is too smooth-tempered, and he refuses to say who is not, especially the empress dowager and empress, who dare not discuss a word for fear of incurring right and wrong. Libi is a straw bag, it goes without saying. And Rubin, how could he bear the heart to make her bother with this matter?

So Zhou Sheng thought about it, and finally arrived at Wanbi's palace.

Originally, the queen candidate he chose for himself was Wan Bi, who was born in a scholarly family, had poems and books, and was virtuous and generous, able to chat with him and manage the harem. It's just that all of this was destroyed by Yang Liyan. Zhou Sheng thought about it this way. After arriving at Wan Man's palace, he unconsciously cared about Wan Man more than usual. Before the palace people informed him, he asked Wan Man what she was doing.

Wan Bi was composing poems in her room. She is a real talented woman. A few days ago, when she was enjoying the flowers in the Royal Garden, there was a heavy rain. The flowers and trees in the rain had a different view than usual, so she wanted to change the picture of that day. Express it in poetry. It’s just that every time I finish writing, I always feel that some words don’t express my meaning.

When Zhou Sheng came over, Wanbi finished a new poem. Before comparing it with the previous poem, she stretched out a big hand in the diagonal thorn.

Although she hadn't seen that big hand many times, she could recognize it at a glance, and immediately turned to salute, "The concubine sends greetings to the emperor."

Zhou Sheng put the poem aside and immediately held her up, "I have always been so little on your side. I don't know that you are so talented. This seven-rules are coherent, and the scenery in the garden is vividly described. It shows that you have a profound skill."

As a talented woman, Wan Bi inevitably got accustomed to some literati, and always wanted to find a soulmate who would like to join her. However, in the deep boudoir before, very few of the little sisters around liked these, so Wanbi often sighed hard to find a friend. After entering the palace, the other concubines were either busy with the pet or with other concubines. Judging from their temperament, they also knew that they were not the same person as themselves, and Wanmei lost her mind even more.

As for Zhou Sheng, Wanbi couldn't count on it any more. Although he didn't come to his palace too few times, he almost went straight to the subject every time he came, and he rarely had a long conversation.

Therefore, when Zhou Sheng said this, Wanbi suddenly felt like a friend, and felt that the other party's knowledge in poetry was not inferior to her, so Wanbi took the opportunity to ask Zhou Sheng for advice.

Zhou Sheng also liked poems when he was young, and the more they talked about speculation later, Zhou Sheng also forgot the purpose of coming here, and stopped here in the evening.

After he left the next day, he woke up, as if he was here to confide in his thoughts. He didn't expect to discuss poems with Wanbi for a day. But this feeling of studying poems seems not bad, at least it can temporarily forget the troubles of the real world.

So within a few days of being pampered with her husband, Wan Bi was a latecomer, and there was no difference in the limelight.

Shen Ling had always been indifferent to this kind of favor, and she didn't bother to win over the concubines underneath, so every time they came to ask for peace, she turned a blind eye to the Ji Feng in the words of a few people.

On this day, as soon as Shen Ling was sitting firmly on the throne, Libi, who had fallen out of favor for a long time, ridiculed Wanbi, saying that she was dominating the emperor, and even dared to stay in the palace on days like the fifteenth day.

The custom of this dynasty was that every fifteenth year, the emperor would go to Kunning Palace to spend the night.

In recent days, Wanbi was busy discussing poems with Zhou Sheng. For a while, she forgot that it was fifteen last night. Hearing Libi said this, she knelt down and pleaded guilty to Shen Ling.

Shen Ling originally didn't want to get involved in it, but Libi kept saying that she was thinking about her. In fact, she made it clear that she wanted to get her into the water. If she didn't say anything, it was obvious that she was a queen too shameless, but she reprimanded her. Her words, it seems that she has a narrow temperament as a queen.

Shen Ling couldn't help but glanced at Libi. He didn't think that Libi was also a shrewd bag, and he was able to grasp Wanbi's fault and come before him.

Shen Ling glanced at Libi, a little guilty, and she couldn't help but glanced at Heyi. Shen Ling immediately understood, and she dared to think that Liyi had a plan with her behind him, no wonder he could think of such a good idea.

Seeing that the queen looked at him, he immediately cursed Li in his heart. It was really a idiot and wasted all his efforts.

After seeing all this in his eyes, Shen Ling said with a smile: "If it weren't for Libi's reminder, this palace would have forgotten that it was fifteen last night. Presumably the emperor, like this palace, had forgotten it. Right! But the ancestral family law is there, Wanbi failed to persuade the emperor, so she should think about it behind closed doors for three days!"

He heard clearly, and the queen picked herself up with just one sentence, and pushed Li-嫔 to the opposite of Wan-嫔. In the future, Wan-嫔 will complain, and she will only complain to Li-嫔. This is a good way to do it.

Sure enough, as He-嫔 guessed, after Wan-嫔 was punished for some reason, she hated Li-嫔, especially when she knew that Li-嫔 was behind her and she was in trouble with her. In the past few days, she and Zhou Sheng have been together day after day, and the relationship has become deeper and deeper. In this way, Wanbi made a mistake that most women in the world would make, thinking that she was extraordinary in Zhou Sheng's heart. Once she has this idea, even if she is a talented woman, she will inevitably have a tentative mind like other women, wanting to determine how important she is in the other person's heart.

When Zhou Sheng came back in the evening, Wanbi told him what happened today, and pointed out that it was Libi and Hebi who saw her not pleasing to his eyes and filed a complaint with the queen. Then she waited for Zhou Sheng's reaction. In her heart, she felt that since Zhou Sheng had her in her heart, she should be scolded by Libi and his wife, at least for some time to ignore her.

Zhou Sheng came to Wanyi to discuss poetry here because he wanted to forget the troubles, but now that Wanyi has lost the arrogance that a talented woman should have, and instead cares about other concubines, he loses a bit of interest. Originally tonight, he wanted to come here to relax due to things that went wrong in the courtroom during the day, but he heard the dispute in the harem from the other side.

You can listen to these jealous things when you are happy, but when you are upset, you feel noisy. Zhou Sheng immediately sank, and ignoring Wanbi's unbelievable expression, he walked away directly.

Originally, according to his true thoughts, he wanted to go to Rubin. However, in order to fear that Wanbi would hate her in the future, Zhou Sheng still went to Roubi.

Since Shen Ling became pregnant, the queen mother was happy to avoid her chanting homework, so when Zhou Sheng arrived at Deroupi's palace, Roubi was sewing under the lamp.

At a glance, Zhou Sheng saw that Roubi was holding a bedclothes in his hand, embroidered with the pattern of double dragons vomiting beads, which was made for him.

Zhou Sheng couldn't help but moved a little warmly, "Just leave these things to the people below to do it, why bother you want you to light up the lamp at night to do it, and what should you do if your eyes are broken?"

Roumei is the most docile of the concubines. He smiled and said: "The concubine asks herself that she has no strengths. She is better than her sister, so she has to make some needlework for the emperor. I hope the emperor will not forget. Concubine body."

Zhou Sheng said, "What you said is bad. Wanbi is more talented, but in terms of female celebrity, she can't match you. Don't be presumptuous, because I still miss you in my heart, otherwise it won't be the case. Come here late."

Rou concubine smiled gently and said: "Of course, the concubine knows that the emperor has a concubine in his heart, but the concubine of the emperor is better than the concubine. It is inevitable that the concubine will think more, please don't take it off the emperor."

Zhou Sheng went to Wanbi to discuss poems these days. As a talented woman, Wanbi was a little lonely and self-confessed. Now seeing Roubi's gentle and watery appearance, Zhou Sheng suddenly remembered the time when Roubi first entered the palace. For a period of time, even though he lifted Roubin up to cover up, the two also had a good memory.

Now that he is in the gentle homeland of a gentle man, Zhou Sheng suddenly feels a little bit different from the newlyweds.

The next day, when Roubi stepped into Kunning Palace, Hebi and Libi's eyes barely made four holes in her body. Originally thought that Wan Bian was punished, if the concubine was not enough to be afraid, it was her turn to be beautiful, but it was really a snipe and clam fighting for the fisherman's profit to kill a gentleman out of thin air.

Shen Ling sat on it, watching the four of them fighting underneath the eyebrows and eyebrow lawsuits, and then watching Ru 嫔, who was sitting quietly on the side, suddenly felt that Zhou Sheng's move was still good, although he had not concealed the queen mother and himself. , But he has concealed it from the other concubines, at least his true love is like a concubine, at least staying out of the matter, and he can be as happy to watch the excitement of them as himself.

Shen Ling thought he understood Rubi, but Rupi also had her own worries. Zhou Sheng hadn't summoned herself privately for a long time. On the face of it, he hadn't been to his palace for a long time, and the maids and eunuchs around him were all given by him, but he didn't say anything. But every time I met a maid or **** in another palace, although I didn't dare to say anything in person, but in private, who didn't talk behind her back, she shouldn't be spoiled.

Zhou Sheng has not been looking for Rubi these days. First, Shen Ling’s pregnancy disrupted his plan and caused him a little trouble. Second, things in Chaozhong were not as smooth as he thought, Yang Shichang’s. There are more and more students, and they already have the title Yang Banchao. Naturally, he is not in the mood to talk about love, just want to find someone to talk to and relieve boredom.

It’s just that sometimes I would relax at night, but the next morning, facing Yang Shichang’s shrewd and strong face, he was still bored.

Especially Yang Shichang's two sons, these days they can hardly leave the door behind closed doors, so that he can't find any mistakes. Originally thought that Yang Shichang could not find a weak point and could start with his two sons, but he did not expect that Yang Shichang's eldest son suddenly changed his temper and stopped going to the Qunfang Pavilion, leaving Zhou Sheng no choice.

The reason why Yang Chengzong changed her temper was because she was beaten by Yang Shichang in bed and raised her for several months. Later, after Shen Ling was named the queen in the draft, she specially looked for her eldest brother. She pulled Yang Chengzong on her hind legs outside for the future. He was severely warned, and at the end a small servant was sent to follow him. Once he was found to be messing up, he could tell Yang Shichang directly.

In this way, Yang Chengzong naturally converged a lot.

After a long time, Zhou Sheng found that he couldn't find the wrong place in Yang Shichang's house, so he began to hit Yang Shichang's disciples with his ideas.

Since Yang Shichang was known as Yang Banchao, his students were naturally all over the court. Zhou Sheng ordered Ling Qing to inquire secretly for several days, and finally found some eyebrows.

So just three months after Shen Ling was pregnant, there was a book published in the Imperial History, which involved the Yangzhou prefect's corruption and bribery, tyrannical dominance, deception and deception.

The prefect of Yangzhou is exactly one of Yang Shichang's most proud disciples-Zeng Mo.

When Zeng Mo had the test, it was Yang Shichang who put him at the top of the crowd. Later, during the hall test, Yang Shichang strongly recommended him to Zhou Sheng. Although Zhou Sheng felt that Zeng Mo's article was well done, but because Zeng Mo already belonged to Yang Shichang's side, another person was selected as the top pick, and Zeng Mo was chosen as the first prize.

Later, after Zeng Mo spent several years in Beijing, he was sent to Yangzhou by Yang Shichang. Yangzhou is prosperous and it is easy to make political achievements. Yang Shichang's intentions were obvious. He was trained with Zeng silently as his successor, so he put a lot of effort on him.

How could I think that Zeng Mo didn't hold his hands in Yangzhou, was fascinated by the wealth of Yangzhou, and accepted a bribe, that's why the census complained.
