Jun Beichen went into seclusion.
The happiest people about this matter are the Emperor Jun Shengze and Queen Zhao Yunlan.
After Jun Beichen officially retreated, they got the news immediately.
Zhao Yunlan was drinking tea in the Imperial Garden when he heard the news from the palace maid.
She was so happy that she couldn't hold the tea cup steady, and the tea soup spilled into a puddle.
"Is this true? Jun Beichen really went into seclusion!" Zhao Yunlan asked eagerly.
The palace maid nodded, "This is the news from the spies, so it is certainly true."
"Well, I know, you go down first."
"Yes, slave, please leave!"
After the palace maid stepped back, Zhao Yunlan looked at Yun Xi beside him.
He said happily: "I didn't expect that Jun Beichen would go into seclusion at this critical moment. God is really helping me!"
Yunxi echoed, "Yes, my dear, God is helping you."
Zhao Yunlan was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and said, "I originally thought that with Jun Beichen here, we would be unable to touch Shen Liuli at this palace banquet, but now that he is in seclusion, we can have no scruples!"
Yunxi nodded, "That's what the Queen said."
Zhao Yunlan thought for a moment and then whispered to Yun Xi, "Go to Shangshu Mansion quickly and tell Shen Yutang that the plan can go ahead as scheduled."
"Yes, concubine!"
After Yun Xi retreated, Zhao Yunlan looked at the sky in the distance, his face becoming more and more sinister.
"Shen Liuli, do you really think that because His Majesty protects you, you can be your imperial concubine without any worries?"
"Daydreaming! The daughter of a bitch is only worthy of living in a dark corner with no daylight, unable to survive or die!"
As for Qianqing Palace.
After Jun Shengze learned that Jun Beichen was in retreat, he jumped up from his chair with excitement.
Asked: "That monster is really in seclusion!"
Eunuch Gao nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, Prince Chen is indeed in seclusion. Now the Prince Chen's Mansion is heavily guarded and not even a fly can fly in. I guess he is really in seclusion."
"Great!" Jun Shengze beat his hands happily.
While he was happy, he suddenly thought of something and his face became a little more solemn.
"However, Jun Beichen came here specifically to beat me yesterday and told me not to touch Shen Liuli. Why did he suddenly go into seclusion today? What happened?" Jun Beichen asked suspiciously.
Eunuch Gao explained: "Your Majesty, you don't need to pay too much attention to it. King Chen has been plagued by evil spirits over the years and needs to suppress the evil spirits in his body at any time. Therefore, it is not too unusual to suddenly retreat this time."
"You're right, he was born a monster full of evil spirits. If he wasn't desperate, why would he hide his identity and hide here in the name of a descendant of the Daning royal family?"
Jun Shengze felt that what Eunuch Gao said made sense.
He made a decision immediately and said: "In that case, I will take advantage of his period of seclusion to make Shen Liuli a noble concubine. After the rice is cooked, I will see how he can stop me!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Eunuch Gao agreed flatteringly.
"Stop talking nonsense and quickly draw up an imperial edict. On the day of the palace banquet, in front of all the civil and military officials, I will issue an edict to confer Shen Liuli as a noble concubine!"
"Your Majesty, I will do it now!"
After Eunuch Gao left, Jun Shengze sat on the bench with a determined smile on his face.
-
Shen Liuli didn't know about Jun Beichen's retreat.
For several days in a row, she knew nothing about Jun Beichen, let alone any news related to him.
You must know that this guy would appear in front of her from time to time before.
Now that she suddenly disappeared, she was still a little uncomfortable after talking about it...
While Shen Liuli frowned and thought, Zhao Zhulian suddenly walked into her yard with several maids.
"Li'er, what are you thinking about?"
After walking in, Zhao Zhulian had a smile on her face.
After Shen Liuli was interrupted from her thoughts, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Zhulian.
He asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
Seeing that Shen Liuli did not salute him, Zhao Zhulian's face flashed with displeasure.
But he quickly covered it up and continued to walk towards Shen Liuli with a full smile.
"This is not like a few days ago. The old lady asked me to find some lovely maids for Li'er. I trained them for several days. After they reached the standard that the old lady wanted, I sent them to Li'er immediately."
With that said, Zhao Zhulian said to the five maids behind him: "You guys, why don't you come here quickly and salute the second young lady!"
"yes."
The five maids with double-combed sideburns responded and walked three to four meters in front of Shen Liuli with small steps.
The five people put their hands together on the right side of their waists and bowed respectfully.
"Slave, I have met the second young lady!"
Shen Liuli nodded and took a look at the appearance of the five people.
He has good facial features, a delicate appearance, and a very lovable appearance.
"Yes." Shen Liuli nodded, "Let me introduce myself first."
Then, the five new maids introduced themselves one by one from left to right.
"My name is Chuyun. I am fifteen years old this year."
"My name is Yan Rou. I am twelve years old this year."
"My slave, Liu Mei'er, is nineteen years old this year."
"My servant Chushuang, I am thirteen years old this year."
"Slave Luru, you are fifteen years old this year."
Shen Liuli nodded and looked back and forth between the first and fourth one.
Only then did she notice that their faces were somewhat similar.
So he asked: "Are you two sisters?"
Chu Yun and Chu Shuang took a step forward, nodded in response: "The second young lady is right, we are indeed two sisters."
"Yes." Shen Liuli nodded.
Then he stood up and walked around in front of the five maids.
"Since you are going to serve me from now on, I will naturally tell you the rules of serving me!"
"Miss, please speak!" the five maids said in unison.
"1. You are not allowed to enter my room without my permission."
“2. Do not suppress others wantonly and form cliques.”
"Third, you must not betray me or accept money from others at will. You should understand what I mean."
When talking about this, Shen Liuli's eyes swept over Bi'er vaguely.
Bi'er knew that Shen Liuli was secretly warning her, and she immediately bit her lower lip.
Shen Liuli noticed Bi'er's reaction with his peripheral vision, and then continued.
"Only these three points, if you can do it, stay, if you can't, you can leave now!"
Shen Liuli made his attitude clear.
Then, he glanced at the five maids in front of him.
They lowered their heads, seeming to be thinking about Shen Liuli's words.
Finally, the two sisters Chu Yun and Chu Shuang raised their heads first and looked at Shen Liuli seriously.
"Now that I know this, I must remember the rules set by the second lady!"
Shen Liuli didn't respond, turned to the other three, and asked softly: "Where are you three?"
At this time, the maid Lu Ru, who was standing at the end, subconsciously glanced at Zhao Zhulian and quickly looked away.
Then he lowered his head to Shen Liuli and said, "Second Miss, I know this."
After Lu Ru responded, Yan Rou and Liu Mei'er also lowered their heads, "Miss, I know this, and I will do my best to serve you well!"
In the time just now, Shen Liuli had a panoramic view of the reactions of the five people.
After seeing clearly who was a human and who was a ghost, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
