The new king holds the balance and supports Xuan. Although he is sick and weak, he is the king of tigers and wolves.
Lishu had already put on mourning clothes. During the national mourning period, high-ranking wives had to go to the palace to mourn. As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you should dress in filial piety. Li Shu looked charming in white.
Lishu also wanted to tell the secret she had hidden in her heart, but she was very uneasy. Because it is easy for men to be intolerable to this kind of thing, but if she said it out, given Zheng Hao's feelings for her, she would be afraid that he would do something. If the prince is really interested in her, he can just think of countermeasures. If the prince is not interested in her, wouldn't he create trouble for himself?
But now she is about to enter the palace. The prince who was restrained before is now the emperor.
"You wait a moment before you leave. I want to tell you something."
Zheng Hao paused: "Why, do you have something to tell me?"
"Let me ask you, would someone at my age and in a high position like me?" Li Shu asked him.
Zheng Hao looked at Li Shu again and felt hot in his heart, "Yes."
Unexpectedly, Zheng Hao said this. Seeing his deep eyes, Li Shu covered her chest and said, "Don't be angry about this matter. This is just my personal guess."
She told her about Li Zhen's attitude towards her, the generous reward from the East Palace, and even the fact that her seventh sister was chosen. Then she raised her eyes to look at Zheng Hao's eyes and said quickly: "This may not be true, but I am afraid that the emperor will Regardless of decency, what do you think of the emperor as a king?"
Zheng Hao saw that after Li Shu finished speaking, she felt a hundred times more relaxed and her expression relaxed. He thought that she might have been feeling aggrieved about this kind of thing for a long time.
"The emperor will not act recklessly if he wants to be a promising king. Since ancient times, monarchs who want to leave a name in history will have more constraints. Don't worry, I will handle this matter. Don't be like a frightened bird, just do whatever you need to do." Zheng Hao first asked her to relax.
Although Lishu usually knew that Zheng Hao was very girlish, loved to cry, was afraid of ghosts, and was afraid of the dark, she was very reliable at critical moments.
After hearing his words, Li Shu felt much more relaxed: "Okay, then I'll prepare some onion juice so that I can cry out."
"Wait." Zheng Hao inserted the silver hairpin on her head again for her.
Li Shu smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you."
Zheng Hao patted her shoulder and said softly: "I'm leaving first."
Li Shu nodded.
She originally thought that Zheng Hao would pursue the details, or blame her for being too beautiful and restless, but she didn't expect that he didn't say anything and just reassured her that he would think of a solution later.
After entering the palace, I first went to greet the new queen. After becoming the queen, Wang became more dignified. Now in the period of filial piety, you cannot have children for three years. According to rumors, this Wang family is not favored. The prince prefers young, lively and beautiful women.
Originally, when she was in the East Palace, there were not many people in the harem, so it was difficult for her to be favored. What's more, after the emperor observes his filial piety, he will definitely draft a large number of women to fill the harem. In the future, when there are more people, it will be difficult to be favored.
No matter how good your health is, if the emperor doesn't go to your place, it will be difficult for you to give birth to a child.
In the harem, whether there are any heirs is very important.
"I would like to express my greetings to the Empress. The Empress is a thousand years old." Li Shu gave a grand salute.
Queen Wang raised her hand, and a female official shouted: "Get up."
Lishu just stood up, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the Queen Wang again.
The two young concubines sitting beside her were one of her old acquaintances, her seventh sister, who was now a concubine, and the other was also the former crown prince Liang Di, who gave birth to the second prince and was canonized as a noble concubine.
The imperial concubine's surname is Cui. She is older than Concubine Liu Shu and looks very imposing, but Concubine Liu Shu looks bored at first glance.
They all had to go to mourn, so naturally it was inconvenient to reminisce about the past. The female family members were all respected by the king and queen. Lishu also met many of their relatives, including her grandmother, aunt, and mother.
Li Shu simply cried loudly with them. Li Zhen had to go to the palace to cry just after her confinement. She was also holding a veil over her eyes, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down. But what made her uncomfortable was that, The face is smeared with makeup and makeup.
Seeing Li Zhen like this, Li Shu thought it was a good thing that she came here without face today.
After the group finished crying, the queen's people asked them to go to the back hall to rest. Lishu breathed a sigh of relief and helped her grandmother and mother up. Little Fu glanced at Li Shu, "Didn't you apply powder today?"
"That's right. It's easy to mess up the makeup when applying powder, so I just came here bare-faced. How about it? Isn't it ugly?" Li Shu tilted her head and asked.
Little Fu shook her head: "No, your skin is as delicate as white jade. Without makeup, you look several years younger."
Li Shu was in a good mood: "That's good, but although I didn't apply powder, I also applied balm. I'll give you a bottle tomorrow. It's really good."
The mother and daughter were together, and Lishu was still the same as she was when she was a child. She kept chattering, drank a lot of tea, and was about to give birth.
"Okay, let's go." Mrs. Fu couldn't do anything about her daughter. She kept talking and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Those who didn't know thought she was very sad.
Lishu felt that she was becoming more and more heartless. When she was first reborn, she often couldn't sleep well and was worried. But with Zheng Hao, she felt much better when she had someone to take care of no matter how big the matter was.
After all the twists and turns, Li Shu wanted to go to the apse quickly, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came out, she ran into the former East Palace, now the emperor.
This... isn't this the emperor she saw in her previous life?
When I saw the prince before, he always had a fair face and no beard, but now that he has a beard, his whole temperament has completely changed.
"My wife, please give your regards to the Emperor."
If she had known earlier, she would not have gone here. This place was so secluded that no one came there.
The emperor had obviously inquired about her whereabouts a long time ago. He was often in poor health when he was a child, and even his position as prince was in danger, so he often liked to be quiet. But Li Shu was different. Her lips were raised like honey, which made people feel... She is charming and innocent.
"Get up."
Li Shu lowered her hands and lowered her head, not daring to say anything.
But the emperor seemed to just glance at her and then walked away. Then Li Shu felt that she had thought too much, and she hurried to Xiao Fu's place.
Zhang Li, the eunuch beside the emperor, heard the elegant meaning of Xiange, but he also knew that wives of ministers, especially wives of important ministers, should not be played with. Otherwise, people will be drowned by the spittle of civil servants.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Zheng has gone far."
The emperor's face did not show any signs of interest, because if he showed interest, he was afraid that the people below him would do something on their own initiative. To like someone is not to take advantage of them, but to make them better.
Just like Tang Xuanzong treated Yang Gui
Concubine, she was said to be extremely loved, but in the end she ended up like that.
He is not that kind of person.
When Li Shu came back from the palace, she breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Li Shu was in a good mood, Li Zhen wanted to say something sarcastic, but thinking of the emperor, she did not dare to say anything more.
She fell asleep soundly when she got home. When Zheng Hao came back, he saw traces of deep sleep on her face and couldn't help but laugh, this little fool.
Seeing that she was sleeping too deeply, he had to shake her awake when it was time for dinner. Li Shu then rubbed her eyes and sat up. Zheng Hao hugged her and said, "I asked the kitchen to make your favorite Pipa prawns today. Get up and use them quickly."
"Okay." Li Shu didn't have the energy to wake up at all. She put on her bed shoes and went to the table.
It was already dark when the couple had dinner, and a half-foot-tall candlestick was lit on the table, with three candles burning on the candlestick. Li Shu suddenly laughed and said: "There are still ordinary fishermen in Xinsu, and the swallows are flying in the autumn. We lit a few bean lanterns and swayed as if we were eating in the river."
Zheng Hao was amused: "You haven't woken up yet and your hair is drowsy, so you are so vague and sore."
"How dare you tease me, huh." Li Shu wrinkled her nose.
She was now sure that the emperor had no interest in her, and was in a very good mood, so she joked with Zheng Hao and talked about today's events: "I happened to meet the emperor after I paid tribute, and he didn't even look at me, so I told you this morning It's definitely impossible. Oh, otherwise, it would really scare me to death."
Zheng Hao was still worried in the morning and had already sent someone to investigate. Unexpectedly, Li Shu said this.
But……
Zheng Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. It was not normal for the two of them to meet by chance in a remote place.
It was Li Shu who was very keen on other things. Almost no one was more keen than her, but when it came to matters between men and women, Zheng Hao always felt that she was lacking.
It seems that she thinks that all men in the world, except him, are bad people, and those who are interested in her are all lecherous.
But not all men in the world who like her are bad people and are motivated by sex.
From then on, he would be twice as kind to Li Shu, but he would not let her feel the burden.
"Having said that, if you can, go to the palace as little as possible. There are so many rules and you still have to salute. It's very troublesome." Zheng Hao said with a smile.
Li Shu nodded heavily.
Zheng Hao gave her another reassurance: "Like what you said, I am also looking for acquaintances in the palace to inquire about it. Don't worry. Besides, there are officials waiting to become famous, and there are many restrictions as the emperor."
"Okay, I knew you were the best." Lishu said happily.
Zheng Hao saw that she had just finished eating amaranth, her mouth was red and she was so pretty, he couldn't help but come forward to her. Everyone usually thinks that Zheng Hao is a very upright gentleman, and he must rinse his mouth and take a shower at night before doing anything intimate as a couple. Now that there are servants around him, this is the first time that he has been in such a difficult situation.
Zhulan and the other servants hurried down, but Lishu was also stunned by his kiss, and she was still dizzy after the kiss.
In addition to an important matter on her mind, Lishu also heard that the eldest prince asked the emperor to teach him the six arts of gentleman: etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. After careful consideration, the emperor asked the cabinet, and the cabinet said that she was a woman. He refused, and the emperor agreed. I heard that it was recommended by Zheng Hao, who said that her piano skills were learned from the guqin master Yan Qing. Nowadays, only Lishu can play the piano music of Yan Qing in the world. I hope everyone can give her some advice.
Li Shu a chance.
As the eldest son of the emperor, Li Shu looked at Zheng Hao, and Zheng Hao scratched her nose: "How is it? Do you have confidence?"
"Yes. But..." Li Shu always felt that there was something wrong with entering the palace professor. Although she might have guessed the emperor's thoughts wrongly, what if it happened?
Zheng Hao smiled and said: "Is it because of this, just for some unreasonable things, that I will let you hide behind me all your life? You have learned the piano art for so many years, you should be able to make greater use of it. Besides, if you are the eldest son of the emperor, One day you will really inherit the throne, and you will rise to great heights from then on. I like you, and I should make you better."
Li Shu nodded heavily: "You are so kind."
When the news came that Li Shu had become the eldest son of the emperor, her mother's family came the fastest, including Li Zhen. Li Zhen thought to herself that the third brother-in-law was really naive. Now he was sending a sheep into the wolf's den, and he was still complacent.
But even so, Li Zhen's face was full of congratulations and she didn't expose it. She also secretly felt that Zheng Hao was arrogant. Li Rou smiled at Li Wan and said, "The third sister has played the piano since she was a child, and now she has finally made her mark."
Seeing this, Zhu Lingxuan, who was standing by, always wondered why some people's lives were so good. Everyone loved her. She came from a noble family and had no parents or concubines in the family. She was still beautiful and famous as a talented woman.
Unlike her, after so many years, it turned out that she was a person who stole from one person and turned into another. Her once proud identity as a direct descendant was still fake. Aunt Dong, whom she once hated, kept saying in letters that she was her daughter. Zhu Lingxuan couldn't believe it, thinking that Aunt Dong was just talking nonsense.
But looks can't deceive people. She doesn't look like Mrs. Zhu at all, but more like Aunt Dong.
what to do? What should she do? Should she believe Aunt Dong's words? !
