However, Shen Qingzhuo was willing to play the role of a secret guard and accompany the empress. Xuan Ping, who had not discussed it with him, did not know that this heroic general in his heart still had this idea.
Xuanping came back after mediating the conflict between the concubines. He saw the palace servants waiting outside the palace, still confused. Hearing them say that the new secret guards were waiting for His Majesty inside, with envy still hidden in their eyes, Xuanping frowned.
Thinking that some new secret guard was unruly or wanted to seduce their careless majesty, he entered the palace with the intention of beating this secret guard.
But Xuan Ping's words were still rolling on the tip of his tongue. When he saw the "secret guard", his whole body froze.
"Shen, General Shen?"
Xuan Ping was very puzzled by Shen Qingzhuo's disguise as a secret guard. His Majesty could not be wrong. Those palace members had only entered the palace in the past two years. It was not surprising that they did not know Shen Qingzhuo, but Shen Qingzhuo did not know him. Your Majesty, what is the purpose of explaining your identity?
If Shen Qingzhuo hadn't been an upright person and had stayed outside for the Xia Dynasty for many years without ever taking credit for himself, Xuan Ping would have thought that his behavior was deliberately teasing His Majesty.
Xuan Ping's words made the hall fall into silence. Yu Shu looked at Shen Qingzhuo who was studying ink for her, and her beautiful eyes widened.
Yu Shu felt a little panicked because she had recognized the wrong person. Seeing that Shen Qingzhuo had done so many errands for palace servants without identifying himself, she became even more convinced that this person really didn't like her.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to recognize the identity of the "secret guard" is probably to catch her for not recognizing him, the general who protects the people, and to accuse her.
When her reputation for disrespecting Shen Qingzhuo spreads to the ears of the court officials and the people, she is afraid that she will be punished with a lot of verbal and written punishments.
Thinking like this, Yu Shu quickly started a storm in her mind, and then decisively put the blame for this matter on Shen Qingzhuo's head, looking disappointed at being deceived by him.
"Are you General Shen Shen Qingzhuo?!"
"Why didn't you tell me your identity? If Xuan Ping didn't explain it, would you still be teasing me?"
The empress' words made Shen Qingzhuo panic. He no longer recalled the feeling of touching the empress' skin. He knelt down to apologize.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have concealed it from Your Majesty. Please punish me!"
He admitted his mistake quickly, and taking the blame on himself was also in line with Yu Shu's wishes.
But Shen Qingzhuo had just returned from abroad. He had worked hard and had a high reputation among the court officials and the people. If she dared to punish him at this time, she would inevitably be punished by officials.
It felt bad to be pinched. Yu Shu walked around the table and walked up to Shen Qingzhuo. She deliberately lifted his chin slightly and said as if she was admiring a lowly prostitute.
"General Shen has a nice face and suits my liking. Since you like to serve me so much, then come and serve me every day."
Letting a general who holds military power do the work of serving others is undoubtedly demeaning to him.
Yu Shu just waited to see how Shen Qingzhuo, the empress, was so angry and couldn't help but feel depressed.
Xuan Ping, who was in the palace, was so frightened by His Majesty's words that his legs trembled and he hurriedly protected the empress, fearing that Shen Qingzhuo would be furious and hurt the empress.
But both of them thought wrong. Shen Qingzhuo, who was regarded as a palace servant, not only did not feel depressed at all, but also happily accepted the job and said that he would come to the palace every day to serve him.
"My residence is a bit far away from the palace. If I can live in the palace, I can serve Your Majesty better."
Only then did she accept the hard job and was about to take the roll, which made Yu Shu look at him suspiciously several times, wondering if he was playing her role.
Otherwise, how could he accept an errand like that of a palace servant, which is so different from that of a general?
"No need, not everyone can stay in my palace."
Lin Jiyuan is still in the palace. If Shen Qingzhuo moves in again, he doesn't know how many things will happen.
Even if it was to allow the two of them to have less contact, Yu Shu had to refuse.
