Shen Dingzhu is wearing a gilt Xiangyun Ruyi purple skirt, a high bun with dark clouds, a fair neck that is pink and tender, black eyebrows and watery pupils, pink-white skin, and vermilion lips.
She was nurtured and pampered by Xiao Langyan, and her figure was slim and graceful, but there was a hint of charm hidden in her dignity. Her delicate body under the gorgeous clothes did not appear bulky due to pregnancy, but was as juicy as a cherry.
Many ministers have met Shen Dingzhu a few times, but now that they meet again, they are still amazed by her beauty. The envoys of the subordinate countries finally understand why the Jin Emperor has only a few harems, and only Concubine Shen is favored.
Really, the beauty is so unforgettable that I would rather live and die in her hibiscus rouge.
Her beauty is like a gentle knife. From the moment it appears, it cuts off all contradictions as if relying on her beauty to attack.
When Xiao Langyan saw her, the anger on his face subsided, and there was already a hint of pampering in his handsome eyebrows.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
Shen Dingzhu was blessed and said in a gentle voice: "I heard that the Shen family's wrongful name has been mentioned again. To prove their innocence, I have no choice but to come and disturb the emperor's elegant banquet."
"I would also like to ask the emperor to give me a moment and a few words before I want to ask this envoy from Beiliang."
Xiao Langyan nodded, his eyes deep: "Okay."
Shen Dingzhu turned to look at Manhua. Such a beauty with delicate white skin, with eyes as bright as a handful of snow. Manhua, a tall and thick man, actually did not dare to look directly into her eyes, and instead lowered his head.
"The envoy said that the Shen family rescued the second son of King Changsheng of your country. May I ask the specific date, month and year when the second son came to the Shen family?"
Manhua paused, lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice: "I can't remember the specific day of the summer ten years ago. My dear concubine, is this important?"
Shen Dingzhu smiled, so youthful that he attracted the young courtiers to look sideways, and Xiao Langyan's face turned darker than before.
"With just a touch of your upper and lower lips, you can say such intriguing words to make others suspicious of the Shen family's crimes. As the daughter of the Shen family, do you think it's important?"
Manhua was about to speak, but Shen Dingzhu took a step closer: "You said that the second young master came in the summer ten years ago, are you sure?"
These words made Manhua startled, and he hesitated for a moment.
Shen Dingzhu's voice was faint: "If this second young master was really rescued by my father, and still remembers it all these years, and specially asked you to bring a message, I think he will not remember the time wrong, right? Therefore, Ambassador Man, I am I’ll ask you again, are you sure it’s Xia Tian?”
Manhua secretly frowned and thought badly: "I may have remembered the time wrongly, but the story about the second young master being rescued by Mr. Shen is true."
Shen Dingzhu laughed out loud, her beautiful eyes were a little mocking, her slender eyelashes were lowered, and she looked at Manhua coldly: "You can make up any time and say that my father has saved some second son, then I Is it possible to make up an incident and falsely accuse you of being instructed to say what you said tonight to frame me, humiliate the emperor, and provoke a war between the Northern Liang Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty before you came to Jin Dynasty?"
Manhua suddenly raised his head and became flustered: "Is there any official?"
"You mean there is no one? Anyway, just like what you said, you can remember the time wrongly. How can others know whether I am talking nonsense?" After Shen Dingzhu said this, he stopped looking at her and walked lightly. He walked towards Xiao Langyan.
In the magnificent and brightly lit hall, the beautiful concubine walked towards the emperor who indulged her in every possible way.
She stepped onto the two white jade steps and suddenly looked back, seeing a pair of scissors in her hand.
Xiao Langyan's pupils tightened and he stood up suddenly: "Shen Dingzhu! What do you want to do?"
Shen Dingzhu turned to look at the dark group of ministers and envoys below the steps.
There were so many hidden evil intentions among them that she no longer wanted to distinguish them carefully.
Instead, he said loudly and resoundingly in a voice that everyone could hear: "Five years ago, the Shen family fell into decline and was convicted of treason by the late emperor in an edict. It has been three years since the late emperor passed away, but the late emperor never made it clear until his death. If the Shen family really colludes with the enemy, which country and dynasty they are collaborating with! Do you know why?"
"Because no evidence was found! When the imperial army searched the Shen family, not only did they not find the so-called stolen goods, they did not even find a word about betrayal and rebellion. All they found were memorials and books from my father's nearly fifty years as an official!"
The whole hall was silent, looking at the petite figure, as if covered with the most dazzling light.
Shen Dingzhu remembered those years with no tears in her eyes. If it had been in the past, her eyes would have been red, but now, she has confidence in her heart and is strong and fearless.
"Under the imperial power, the Shen family collapsed... To this day, the envoys from Beiliang are still full of malicious provocation and suspicion, fabricating unfounded tokens of Beiliang, just to make my father and me behind the scenes. The Shen family has fallen deeper into the quagmire!"
As she said that, she suddenly picked up a piece of hair and held the scissors across it. The ministers exclaimed, Xiao Langyan took a step closer, and he shouted coldly: "Don't move!"
However, Shen Dingzhu's eyes were firm: "I am willing to promise and swear to the emperor in front of all the ministers and envoys from various countries. If the Shen family had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and betrayed the Jin Dynasty, I would let my concubine live like this hairtail. The first inch is broken.”
She exerted force with her slender fingers, and a section of black hair fell like a leaf.
Xiao Langyan stretched out his big palm to stop her, but he couldn't move as fast as her. He was even more afraid of accidentally touching the sharp scissors and hurting her even more.
"Shen Dingzhu!!" Xiao Langyan's thin eyes were red, full of anger, and even more worried.
How could she, how dare she!
All the ministers below the steps were shocked and in an uproar.
The hair and skin of the body are received from parents and cannot be damaged!
Since ancient times, the world has regarded hair as very important. Concubine Shen took this oath, which was like a poisonous spell, shocking the ministers of Beiliang.
Xiao Langyan immediately stepped forward, held her hand, whipped out the scissors and threw them down. The golden scissors fell down the white jade steps with two "clang" sounds.
Regardless of the presence of the ministers, he protected Shen Dingzhu in his arms in public, stroking the black hair on the back of her head with his big palm, and his beautiful voice was full of anger and distress.
"I don't need you to suffer this injustice, what are you doing!"
Once in his arms, Shen Dingzhu's eyes turned red and she choked with sobs: "The country of Beiliang has deceived my concubine so far. The Shen family has nothing. Today, I cut off my hair in order to be innocent."
Xiao Langyan raised his murderous thin eyes and looked at Manhua. However, before he could speak, the tall and thin deputy envoy rushed forward, picked up the scissors, and then turned to stab him on the spot. Enter Manhua's chest!
Everyone was in an uproar!
Before Shen Dingzhu could see clearly, Xiao Langyan pressed her head and was forced to hide in his arms. He didn't let her see such a bloody scene.
The tall and lanky man stabbed Manhua three times in succession until Manhua opened his eyes, looked in the direction of Shen Dingzhu, and died, looking stunned until he died.
Afterwards, the tall and thin man knelt down with blood on his hands: "The Emperor of Jin is above, please bow to me and forgive me. Manhua's unscrupulous words disturbed the peace between the two countries. I will follow the rules of Beiliang and put him on the spot." Zhengfa, I also ask the Emperor of Jin and the noble concubine not to get upset or angry because of this sycophant. After returning home, I will report the truth to your majesty. This Manhua is seeking death on his own."
Xiao Langyan was already angry, and his breathing was heavy, like a lion about to become angry. Under his sleeve, Shen Dingzhu gently tugged on his palm.
"Take your people from Beiliang and get out of here overnight!" Xiao Langyan scolded angrily, suppressing the rising murderous intent for Shen Dingzhu.
The tall and thin man did not dare to say anything else. He quickly ordered the accompanying servants to drag Manhua to him and left the palace in a hurry.
Xiao Langyan had no intention of enjoying the rest of the night banquet, so he asked everyone to leave, and Shen Dingzhu stayed with him until the whole hall was noisy and people left, and suddenly it became empty and quiet, leaving only the two of him.
Xiao Langyan held her face and wiped away the tears from her eyes repeatedly: "Are you wronged?"
Shen Dingzhu shook his head: "If I don't do this, I will definitely cause endless troubles."
If the Shen family does not clear up their grievances, her life experience will be her weakness, and it will also be used by others to attack Xiao Langyan wantonly.
At this time, Xiao Langyan bent down and picked up the end of the hair.
Suspicion arose in his thin eyes, and he gently stroked the black hair with his fingertips.
Shen Dingzhu's wet eyes blinked twice, and his soft voice lowered: "Did the Emperor find any clues?"
"Is this the burnt end of hair?" Xiao Langyan was startled.
Shen Dingzhu's beautiful face was filled with red clouds, and her dark eyes were even brighter.
She was a little embarrassed: "After the emperor said it last time, I wanted to cut it off, but I forgot about it for a moment. I didn't expect that it would be of such use today... The oath is true, but I also feel sorry for my hair. Woolen cloth."
Xiao Langyan pursed his thin lips and his jawline tightened. Shen Dingzhu couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
I just felt like he was relieved in his eyes.
Cutting off hair is always unlucky in legend and has the meaning of a clean break.
Just when Shen Dingzhu was thinking about how to comfort Xiao Langyan, suddenly, he took out the dagger he carried with him and cut off a strand of his hair.
"Your Majesty!" Shen Dingzhu was surprised and reached out to hold his big palm, but it was too late.
Xiao Langyan tied his broken hair with hers.
He handed two sections of hair to Shen Dingzhu to see.
"Being married to me will turn danger into safety, and it will no longer be unlucky."
Xiao Langyan spoke truthfully and his voice was deep and pleasant.
Shen Dingzhu was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly raised his watery eyes, his heart seemed to be trembling. When the two people looked at each other, they both saw the complicated emotions in each other's eyes.
Hair knot, for husband and wife.
Love, no doubt about it.
