Sometimes the palace is sunny

Chapter 181: Bamboo Shoots Under the Wall

Holding the confession paper and coming out of the small and dark courtyard, Shen Shiqing slowly exhaled the stale air in his chest.

Looking back, she looked at the narrow courtyard gate and the quiet house inside, her eyes were dark, and she said softly:
"Ms. Zhao committed murder, and Ms. Sun was her servant, and she did it herself. She was tortured according to the law. Since she can't live long, she should suffer more in this world."

Standing beside her, Tunan only said four words: "Don't worry, girl."

"I'm naturally relieved when you do things."

After finishing speaking, she turned around, but staggered when she raised her foot, and the two maids quickly supported her.

Shen Shiqing smiled faintly: "I forgot."

I forgot that I was not wearing boots on my feet, so I couldn't step out in one step.

Looking down at her feet, she tapped the ground with her toes.

"I remember making some boots before, and I will wear that one in the future. I can't wear such shoes anymore."

A Chi nodded, and carefully looked at her expression again.

Sensing her gaze, Shen Shiqing turned her head to look at her.

"Girl." A Chi was cautious, as if his own girl in front of him was the wings of a butterfly, the wings of a cicada, the last piece of ice floating on the river in spring, and would be torn apart in the next moment.

She was bought from Ren Yazi by the girl's aunt and sent to the Shen family. When she arrived, the girl was half a month away from going out. No one knew how scared she was at that time.

When she arrived at Shen's house, she had already been sold three times. The first time was because her original master was convicted, and the second time was bought by a master for her own bedroom. The master let her out within two months. The outer room was directly sold by the original wife's natal family, and she was naturally disposed of as a maid. The third time she stayed for a long time, but because of her age and outstanding appearance, the young master at home took a fancy to her. It was Humei, and the wife sold her again.

When she arrived at the Shen family, she was already 16 years old. If the masters of the Shen family didn't like her and sold her again, she might be sent to that shameful place.

When Mrs. Qin was summoned to go over, she was trembling for fear of taking a wrong step.

The lady sitting on the couch looked sick, but kind.

"Such a good girl's family, why is she shrinking and suffering a lot?"

Only this sentence, A Chi has kept it in his heart for many years.

Such a good lady, she was murdered to death by fools like Mrs. Sun!Where is the law? !
"You have suffered so much all these years. If you want to cry, you can cry." Before she could finish speaking, Ah Chi's own tears had already flowed out.

cry?
Shen Shiqing smiled and shook her head: "A Chi, these things have long passed, what's the use of crying?"

The more she said that, the more Ah Chi couldn't stop crying.

Shen Shiqing's expression was a little helpless, she looked at Tu Nan, but Tu Nan looked away.

This introverted and steady maid could only express her dissatisfaction in this way.

Shen Shiqing sighed, and looking over A Chi's shoulder, she looked at the bamboo on the edge of the courtyard wall.

The bamboo planted in Yanjing City is naturally not the tall bamboo that can block the sky and sun in the south. The bamboo branches are dry and thin, and the leaves are yellow and scattered. Shen Shiqing looked at a corner of the wall and said slowly:
"Achi, look, there is a crack in the wall over there."

A Chi's own handkerchief was already wet, and Tu Nan handed it over. She cried and looked at the wall, not knowing what her girl meant.

"Achi, have you ever thought that such a thin and pitiful bamboo can shake a wall?"

Shen Shiqing pointed to the bamboo protruding from the crack in the wall.

That bamboo branch is very pitiful in the winter wind, it really can't make people see anything special, it just makes people feel that it just happened to grow into the crack of the wall.

"Lonely thin bamboos are planted in the garden. They are luxuriant in spring and summer, and withered in autumn and winter. But when they are withered, they are also gathering strength. When spring comes, bamboo shoots will emerge from the ground. Breaking gravel can shake even a brick wall like that."

A Chi looked at the bamboo, and was patted gently on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Today, I am a bamboo shoot that is about to break out of the ground. The Xie family that is like a wall of dirt on my head is already crumbling. A Chi, you should be happy for me."

A Chi knew that he couldn't argue with his girl, so he wiped away his tears, and when she looked at the bamboo protruding from the crack in the wall, she really saw some vitality.

After returning to Qingfeng Xu, A Chi applied cold water to his face and went to teach those little maids, leaving Tu Nan alone to accompany Shen Shiqing.

Shen Shiqing rummaged through the bookshelves, and found a Northwest Miscellaneous Notes that she had never read before, and sat on the writing chair with great interest to read it.

Tunan put a plate of gorgon fruit, poria cocos, yam, lotus seeds, and Yangchun white ice cream made from glutinous rice flour and sugar in the food box, and a plate of steamed taro puree with sweet-scented osmanthus honey and soufflé on the table, and another pot goat milk.

Shen Shiqing took a bite of Yangchunbai ice cream, and said with a smile, "Tu Nan, your craftsmanship has improved a lot."

Tunan did not speak.

Shen Shiqing had a headache.

A Chi is easy to coax, and the really difficult ones are waiting for her here.

"Tunan, if you have something to say, just say it, we are not six or seven years old, why bother to compare each other and not talk."

After a while, Tunan said, "Girl, don't you really feel bitter?"

"How can it not be bitter? If it was a few months ago, I might really have to cry with A Chi." After finishing speaking, Shen Shiqing smiled again, put the book on the table, and took a bite of steamed mashed taro with a spoon. "Now I don't cry anymore, because I have something to rely on in my heart."

Tunan nodded slightly, her expression was a little shy, and after a few breaths, she said:
"Girl, Tunan is also your reliance. All of us are your reliance."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the food box and walked out, as if she was afraid that her daughter's laughter would catch up with her.

After eating snacks, reading a book, and having lunch, Shen Shiqing clapped her hands and walked to the breezy backyard.

Hearing from Tu Nan that Zhao Surui used her body to move bricks every day, at first two or three yuan at a time, then three or four, four or five yuan, and the moving time went from half an hour to an hour. Shen Shiqing rolled up her sleeves and moved, too. stand up.

After all, she couldn't hold on for the last hour, and after three minutes of moving she was tired and out of breath.

"Probably because the method of breathing is a bit particular, or maybe I used too much force."

She wiped off the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and her smile was a little bright in the setting sun.

In the yard, the breeze blows, and the petals of a pink plum slowly fall.

Looking at the plum petals in his hand, Zhao Surui's expression relaxed a little.

"Since the Empress Dowager is not sick, she can't blame you imperial doctors if she doesn't eat."

As soon as these words came out, several imperial physicians became more and more trembling.

These imperial doctors have seen too many disputes between the mother and son of the Tian family. The most common trick used by the empress dowager over the years is to get sick, but these imperial doctors cannot say that the empress dowager is pretending to be sick, just like last time The empress dowager said that she was in pain, so they had to wait all day and night.

Last time it was the empress who rescued them, but this time it was His Majesty who might be punished for their "negligence" last time.

Zhao Surui felt that what he said was very fair, but he didn't wait for a word "Your Majesty is wise", he looked down and saw only a group of quails with shrunken heads, he felt bored, waved his hands and said:

"Go back."

A group of quails, ah no, it was the imperial physicians who quickly backed out.

Zhao Surui stood where he was, looking at the pair of plum trees in front of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

"It's a nice tree," he said.

Sanmao hurriedly came over: "If the emperor likes it, this servant will let people plant a few plum trees in Chaohua Garden."

"No need." Blowing the petals in his palm to the ground, he shook his head, "It's still different when you look closely."

What's different?
Where is it different?
The three cats became more and more at a loss.

Passing him, Zhao Surui strode to the front of the warm sedan chair, opened the curtain and looked at Lin Miaozhen who was sitting inside, a medical lady was applying heat to her knees.

"Sister Lin, if I hadn't come so fast, would you have to kneel down on your knees?"

Lin Miaozhen knew that Shen Shiqing and Zhao Surui had switched back when she heard the familiar tone before. Looking at the real Zhao Surui, she concealed the regret in her heart and said with a smile:
"This is what I should do..."

"How can there be something that should be?" Zhao Surui raised his brows, and his tone was somewhat resentful, "You are made to be a queen, not a doormat."

After finishing speaking, he saw that the nurse was about to take the medicine bag from Lin Miaozhen's lap, so he turned his back and said:
"Nowadays, there are female officials everywhere in the palace. It is better to use medical women, especially those who wait for menstruation."

Obviously he has changed his body, but when talking about menstruation, Zhao Surui still felt uncomfortable in his lower body.

"Empress, you see that some female doctors are recruited in the palace, just like the female officials. If they do a good job, it is not impossible to let them be imperial physicians."

With just this sentence, Lin Miaozhen saw the hand of the medical girl changing her medicine bag shake, she gently stroked the other's shoulder, and said to Zhao Surui:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, leave this matter to me. But inside..." Lin Miaozhen changed her tone to her younger brother, "Don't you really want to go in and have a look?"

What she was talking about was naturally inside the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Now the gates of the Palace of Compassion and Ning are wide open, and the newly dispatched palace maids and eunuchs are full of kneeling courtyards.

Only in the warm pavilion of the Compassionate Ning Palace, there were occasional coughing and panting sounds - Zhao Surui knew that this was his mother's hypocrisy again.

When he first became emperor, Zhao Surui really wanted to prove to his queen mother that he would become an emperor like his brother.

But hundreds of officials in the court bullied him that he was young and ignorant of government affairs, the great eunuch Zhang Wan manipulated the government and just wanted to coax him into being a fool, and his mother called him a waste.At that time, he didn't say a word, and he was planning little by little in his heart, and finally took the imperial power back into his hands little by little.

On the day the cabinet minister who bullied him when he was young was forced to take office by him, he thought his mother could praise him.

but.

On the day Zhang Wan died, he thought that his mother could say something that would please his ears, but her mother cried and cursed, hating him for not giving the task of confiscating Zhang Wan's property to his two uncles.

That's how his heart became gray. He was the emperor, and he thought he could give his mother everything she wanted...

"Sister Lin, I understand a truth now."

Gently knocking on the sedan door, Zhao Surui smiled coldly:
"If you want to win the hearts of others, you must not blindly condone it."

Lin Miaozhen guessed that the meaning in his words was that he would no longer compromise with the Queen Mother Cao as before, and she felt relieved.

Then I heard Zhao Surui continue to say: "Wait until he sees countless frames, horizontal and vertical, the more frames there are, and the person is arrested, then he will know what is good and what is not."

It seemed to be quite reasonable, but Lin Miaozhen saw Zhao Surui gnashing her teeth.

After talking about his "enlightenment", Zhao Surui strode towards the palace of compassion.

Cao Chacha lay on the bed, saw the corner of the dragon robe, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew how her son would ignore him.

"Emperor, I dreamed of the Buddha a few days ago. The Buddha said that you violated the ancestral system and was unfilial and unrighteous, so he wanted to take me away. Come to think of it, I don't have many days..."

"Mother, the Buddha is very merciful. How could he accept me as the mother who is today's son? Most likely because you were not sincere enough when you worshiped the Buddha, and some delusional thoughts were born in your heart."

Zhao Surui, who was wearing a dragon robe, stood in the warm pavilion, looked left and right, and said loudly:
"Come on, please go to the Emperor's Temple immediately and ask for a golden Buddha to be placed in the Compassionate Palace, so that the Empress Dowager can sincerely worship the Buddha, and in the future, I won't have to order my wife to pay a visit to the harem, so as not to disturb my mother's Qingxiu."

Cao Chacha quickly lifted the curtain, but saw his son looking at him coldly.

"Mother, if you are not sincere in worshiping the Buddha, you are fine as the mother of the Son of Heaven. I don't know if my two uncles will be accepted by the Buddha."

"Zhao Surui! How dare you threaten the Ai family? The Ai family knew that you were a heartless rebellious son! Why didn't you die that year? If you are still here..."

"If the imperial brother is still here, he will only do more than me." Zhao Surui said word by word, "Look carefully at Lin Miaozhen, the queen that my imperial brother chose for himself, there is nothing like you, every place They are all a hundred times stronger than you, does the empress really not understand what my brother means?"

"He is afraid that he hates and hates a greedy person like you."

"No matter who sits on the throne between me and the emperor, you are the queen mother, and you are only the queen mother."

No Responsibility Extra Episode 15
In the dream, he was calmed by Shen Sanfei's words, and Zhao Surui came back to his senses the next day.

My child is the descendant of the dragon!Where can I get others to hate me? !
snort!Shen Sanfei knew how to coax me with sweet words!
Cursing inwardly, Zhao Surui ate a small bowl of elbow meat that day, it was delicious and he didn't vomit.

The imperial doctor looked at it and said, "Ms. Shen's depression has gone a lot, and her anger is not as strong as before. Good thing! Good thing!"
