Chapter 289
The north wind suddenly blew up, and it snowed heavily in Kyoto, and jade and silver clothes were cut up and down in Ouchi.

Looking out from the sleeping hall of Qinxian Palace, the outside of the palace is a vast expanse of white, and the palace people are cleaning the road.

After Zhao Shun got up, Murong Duan replied, "My lord, Miss He is still kneeling in the hall."

"Don't worry about her, accompany me to the martial arts field first." Zhao Shun said.

After breakfast, the two of them went to the Martial Arts Field first. On the way back to Qinxian Hall, they happened to meet Shen Qinglan.

She was wearing a pale pink fluffy cloak, like an elf in the snow, delicate and lovely.

"Sisi, why are you here? It's snowing so heavily, I'm not afraid of bumping into bumps on the road."

Zhao Shun was happy, and hugged her into his arms. Her body was so soft that people couldn't bear to let go.

"My lord, my concubine has something to ask for, so I'm here to bother you." Shen Qinglan said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Zhao Shun took her hand, "Let's go into the main hall and talk about it, don't freeze."

"Okay, my lord, is it cold in the palace at night? Are you not freezing?"

"not cold."

Zhao Shun patted her head, thinking that now he could finally pat her head unscrupulously, before he could only envy her two elder brothers.

Back at Qinxian Hall, Zhao Shun personally brushed off the snow from Shen Qinglan's body, and thoughtfully took off her cloak, and hung it on the hanger.

"Go and warm yourself by the fire."

"Uh-huh."

Shen Qinglan walked to the side of the charcoal basin, and immediately saw He Xiner kneeling in front of the desk.

At this time, He Xin'er's eyes were red, her face was pale, and she looked tired, as if she had been kneeling for a long time.

I saw her slowly raising her eyes, with a pitiful and weak appearance.

"My daughter has seen the princess."

He Xiner could clearly see how the prince loved her just now.

Obviously she knew the prince earlier, but let this little fairy deprive her of everything that should belong to her.

She is not reconciled...

The favor of the prince, the position of the regent's concubine, should belong to her.

If she hadn't been stubborn when she was young, she wouldn't have been able to turn to this merchant girl!
"Miss He? Why are you kneeling here?"

Shen Qinglan turned his head and looked at Zhao Shun.

"She begged me to take her as a concubine last night, but I didn't agree, so she voluntarily knelt here and knelt here all night." Zhao Shun replied lightly, with a very calm tone.

Zhao Shun walked closer, took Shen Qinglan's hand, and the two looked down at He Xiner.

"Miss He, are you persecuting me by doing this?"

"Miss He, get up first, it's cold on the ground, don't make anything wrong with your knees."

Shen Qinglan reached out to help her, but Zhao Shun grabbed her.

After all, they were sent by the empress dowager. If something happened, they would not be able to explain to the empress dowager, and they would just cause trouble for themselves.

"Leave her alone, she is the one who wants to kneel." Zhao Shun looked coldly at the people on the ground, "Aren't you going?"

He Xiner felt that her tears were going to run dry last night, but at this moment she couldn't help crying again.

"My daughter... I have caused trouble for the prince and the princess, and I ask the prince and the princess to forgive me."

After all, she tried to stand up by herself, but her legs were already numb.

I thought that when Zhao Shun returned to the hall early in the morning, seeing her so sincere and affectionate, he would definitely feel a little bit of affection, but he was still so indifferent, and brought this merchant girl to watch her jokes together.

She is a descendant of the prime minister, and she is a thousand times stronger than this merchant woman. Why should she be humiliated like this?
"Miss He, are you alright? Murong Duan, quickly call for someone to take Miss He back to Yun'en Palace, and then ask the imperial physician to treat her." Shen Qinglan ordered.

"Yes."

Murong Duan called two maids into the palace and helped He Xiner up from the ground.

"My lord, my concubine, my daughter-in-law leave..."

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

Before He Xiner left the palace gate, a notification from the servant came from outside.

The Empress Dowager led people into the Hall of Qinxian angrily, and Shen Qinglan and Zhao Shun hurriedly saluted.

"I have met the empress dowager, Wanan, the empress dowager."

"Xin'er, what's wrong with you?"

The Queen Mother ignored them at all, but grabbed He Xiner's hand and looked down at her legs.

"The empress dowager, it's a minister's daughter... The minister's daughter has offended the prince and princess by herself."

He Xin'er was so pitiful, the queen mother became even more angry at this time, and asked Zhao Shun: "Prince Regent, what is going on? No matter how bad Xin'er is, she is also the daughter of the He family. Do you treat the veterans of the capital like this?" ?”

"Back to the Empress Dowager, last night Ms. He was teasing my ministers, it was inappropriate, and she kept saying that she was going to be my concubine. It was for the sake of Ms. He and the old ministers in Kyoto that I sternly refused. I can't believe that this Ms. He actually Forcing the minister, kneeling and punishing himself, the minister knows that the daughter of the He family has a noble status and must not be the minister's concubine, so he cruelly ignores it, and ask the Queen Mother to learn from it."

In front of so many people, Zhao Shun didn't show any face to He Xiner. Although he exaggerated her status as "Miss He", he also slapped her in the face, mocking her for not loving herself.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was also dumbfounded. He Xiner grabbed the Empress Dowager's sleeves and said sadly: "Ms. Empress Dowager, it's my daughter's fault that I have a deep affection for the prince. Please don't worry about my daughter's business." , hurt my body with anger."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, and looked at Zhao Shun: "Since Miss He is interested in the Prince Regent, and Miss He doesn't care whether he is a wife or a concubine, Prince Regent, why don't you accept Miss He?"

"Miss He was born in a famous family. She was supposed to be the main family. The husband and wife are loving, with a white head. I dare not accept her as a concubine. I ask the Queen Mother to understand the painstaking efforts of the minister. The He family has withered. Let Miss He be my concubine, the souls of the late emperor and Mr. He will not rest in peace. I am loyal to the country, and I must not see Miss He's feet sinking. Empress Dowager, why not invite Miss He back to the mansion, and I will find a good match for Miss He again. .” Zhao Shun said.

"Humph……"

The Empress Dowager sneered, not knowing how to refute.

He Xiner held the Queen Mother's arm, and suddenly closed her eyes and passed out.

"Xin'er, Xin'er!" The Empress Dowager called twice, and then said: "Quickly, take Miss He back to Yun'en Hall, and send the imperial physician to treat her!"

"Yes."

After sending He Xiner away, the Empress Dowager sat down in the main seat of the main hall.

"Since the Regent thinks that He Xiner is the daughter of the He family and dare not accept her as a concubine, then Miss Zuo, Miss Zhuang and Miss Zhuo, why not take it as the Regent?" said the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, I don't want to take concubines."

After Zhao Shun finished speaking, the Queen Mother was furious, "What did you say?"

"I said, I don't want to take concubines, so please ask the Queen Mother, don't meddle in the affairs of the court."

Zhao Shun also showed no mercy to the Queen Mother. Shen Qinglan stood aside, not knowing what to say, so he secretly grabbed his sleeve and reminded him to speak softly.
