Yanmenchun

Chapter 188

Once back at the camp, Princess Tai'an threw the whip in her hand heavily on the table and said, "It's too much to bully people!"

The maid helped her and Shentuchan take off their cloaks, Shentuchan said indifferently: "Your Majesty, be careful that the wall has ears."

This is a tent, and the sound insulation is not as good as the palace of the princess.

Li Jingshu had already heard the cause and effect from the accompanying maid, but she didn't take care of it right away, but said: "Something happened to the emperor."

Princess Tai'an and Shen Tuchan were both startled, they said in unison: "What's the matter?"

"The emperor met a blind bear while he was hunting. Duke Cheng originally wanted to escort him, but he slapped him on the face. However, the guards rescued him in time. His life was fine and his face was disfigured."

Princess Tai'an snorted in disappointment, Shen Tuchan glanced at her and said, "Where's the emperor?"

Li Jingshu took the tea from the maid and put it on the table in front of Shen Tuchan, saying, "It's safe and sound."

I'm afraid it was Cheng Guogong who directed and acted himself and wanted to save him, but he was backlashed.

Princess Tai'an is still immersed in the dispute with Yuwenji today. The husband and wife are both people who are keen on power. With the progress of Yuwenji's succession, the contradictions are now prominent.

But she is just a princess. It has been a matter of course since ancient times for women to be attached to men, and to reconcile yin and yang.

Princess Tai'an has nothing in her hands that can compete with Yu Wenji.

Shen Tuchan knew her well enough to know what she was thinking just by looking at her, and reminded: "Your Majesty, the Qin family behind the empress holds the military power."

Because the Qin family is too large, in order to achieve a certain balance, the daughters of the Qin family can be queens, but cannot give birth to heirs. The young ladies of the Qin family can be princes and side concubines, but they cannot be princesses or princesses.

This is the check and balance between the imperial power and military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Princess Tai'an looked up at Shen Tuchan, but Shen Tuchan didn't look at her, sat down and picked up the teacup, lowered her voice and said: "The empress is the aunt and adoptive mother, Yuwen uses the Qin family very much, but he doesn't necessarily value harmony Trust the Qin family, for him, Cheng Guogong is his own, empress, you are a princess, as long as you have your own children, you will have the capital to win over the Qin family."

Princess Tai'an frowned slightly: "But there are still more than two years before I can give birth."

Shen Tuchan raised her eyes to look at her: "Bai Fangfei is about to give birth."

This means to leave the mother and keep the child.

Princess Tai'an is not a fool, she squinted her eyes and said: "She is Yu Wenji's favorite, you moved her so quickly because of today's cold shot."

Shen Tuchan was very calm: "I have always been vengeful, Yu Wenji may not really want to kill me today, he wants to touch me, why can't I touch his beloved?"

Although Shen Tuchan said so, Princess Taian understood better than Shen Tuchan. If Yu Wenji really wanted to touch Shen Tuchan today, he was not targeting Shen Tuchan, but herself standing in front of Shen Tuchan.

She suppressed her voice and said coldly: "I'm afraid he is trying to pull out my minions. Even if it is a tiger, without claws and teeth, it will end up being played with like a cat."

Shen Tuchan didn't answer her words, she had already told Princess Tai'an the answer.

She looked at the maid at the side and said: "Go and call the fifth son over, and say that he has done a great job in saving me today, and the princess will reward him."

The maid responded.

Li Jingshu usually avoids Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan is very guarded against her, she has always ignored Jiang Lan, as if this person is really just a personal guard, but today she sat still.

Shen Tuchan didn't care.

As soon as Jiang Lan came in, Princess Taian said, "Thanks for having you today."

Jiang Lan didn't answer this sentence, but glanced at Li Jingshu who was sitting next to Shen Tuchan with a bad look.

Li Jingshu turned a blind eye, looking down at Shen Tuchan's hand on her knee.

Shen Tuchan didn't seem to be able to feel the torrent around her, she looked at Jiang Lan and said, "What are you doing alone today?"

She saw it.

Jiang Lan's eyes became very bright when they fell on her side, and he said with a smile, "You've played a fool."

Cheng Guogong was injured because he moved his hands and feet.

Before Princess Tai'an could speak to Shen Tuchan, he said again: "It's a pity, I'm still alive."

But there was no regret on his face, obviously he had other preparations.

Shen Tuchan frowned slightly and said, "Be careful, Yu Wenji has been staring at us recently."

Jiang Lan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry."

When Shen Tuchan called him over, she just asked him what he was doing today, and after asking, he said, "I don't know what kind of idea Yu Wenji is up to, you have been protecting Taian these few days."

Princess Tai'an is actually fine, at least until she takes the back seat, she will be fine. The person who is really safe is Shen Tuchan.

The sharpest is always the first to break.

Jiang Lan lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. Shen Tuchan reminded him again: "Don't worry about me, just protect Taian and Chuyuan. I have the ability to protect myself."

Li Jingshu glanced at Shen Tuchan when she heard the words, she knew that if Jiang Lan hadn't been in Shentuchan today, she would not be able to get away unscathed.

But she didn't speak, Jiang Lan nodded silently.

The next day, Shen Tuchan met Cheng Guogong at the emperor's bonfire banquet.

His head was wrapped in gauze, only his eyes and mouth were exposed, and he was very strange under the campfire.

Shen Tuchan looked at him without fear, and even said with a smile: "Master Guo is truly blessed."

Cheng Guogong snorted and said, "Ms. Shentu is also hard-pressed."

Shen Tuchan smiled very easily: "I'm sorry, my life has always been hard, and I have always restrained those who want to harm me."

Cheng Guogong rolled his eyes, as if he disdained this sentence very much, but this movement made him look even more weird, like a broken old corpse crawling out of a cemetery.

Shen Tuchan said contemptuously: "Your Majesty is acting like a ghost, it's better not to scare His Majesty."

Shi Shi ran away after speaking.

Princess Tai'an couldn't help asking: "What did you say? He was so angry."

Shen Tuchan suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth and said: "It is said that he looks like a short-lived ghost."

These words were considered very harsh, Princess Taian was slightly surprised, but Shen Tuchan went straight back to the banquet.

Princess Tai'an exchanged greetings with several noble ladies before returning to the table. Shen Tuchan was only Da Zhou's guest, so she was seated in the back row, not far from Princess Tai'an.

The emperor was sitting on the table appraising the roasted game, and greeted the queen to taste it with a smile. The real person Yudi sat at the head of the concubine Xian. This was actually her first appearance in front of the courtiers and officials.

The courtiers couldn't look at the concubine too straightforwardly, so the officials and family members looked there secretly, but let them stare away, the emperor and empress didn't intend to introduce the real Yudi.

Shen Tuchan sneered inwardly, because she couldn't be introduced, she couldn't be treated as a guest, nor could she be introduced as a concubine.

As soon as she raised her head, real Yudi was looking at her, and she smiled slightly, as if she was just a kind lady.
