In order to prevent Gu Nanyan from doing bad things, Grand Master Sheng mobilized all parties and made full preparations.

However, what he didn't expect was that Gu Nanyan didn't do anything until Sheng Rui was taken into the palace.

Instead, Fu Tuo unexpectedly only gave Sheng Rui a concubine.

However, the concubine daughter of Sun Qi, the privy envoy, was named one of the four concubines and given the title "Jin".

Back position...

Hang in the air.

As soon as the canonization edict came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

When the news spread outside the palace, the two families of Sun and Sheng were most shocked.

What shocked the Sheng family was that the concubine position that was supposed to be won fell on someone else, let alone the queen's position.

Not to mention the Sun family, the concubine who was supposed to lose the election has suddenly become a concubine Jin, it is not an exaggeration to say that a sparrow has turned into a phoenix.

But it was the result of her playing alone.

He didn't want to wait long.

"By the way, now that Ying'er has entered the palace, I'm afraid I won't be free to come back to see you for a while. If you are missing something here, just ask someone to go and talk to the butler." He looked at the tea cup in front of him, his eyes widened squint.

Otherwise, if you turn a blind eye to her as before, your political opponents will definitely talk about this matter if it gets out.

He had nothing to say and said, "I'm afraid it's a waste of time to find such bright flowers in such a cold day."

Mrs. Zhao is the biological mother of Concubine Jin, and she is just here for a formality.

Sun Qi was fine, she was his daughter after all.

Sun Qi pretended to be very helpless, and sighed for a long time on the phone. To sum up, this matter was beyond his control. He was also very surprised that the mere concubine was in the position, and said that he did not want things to change. into this.

It was the first time for Sun Qi to be so close to Mrs. Zhao, and it was when she was brought into the mansion but hadn't seen her for seven or eight years, so it was inevitably a little embarrassing.

The inside and the outside are separated by a screen painted with red plums. A low cabinet covered with red silk cloth is placed in the corner beside the screen. On the low cabinet is a blue and white porcelain vase with several colors of flowers and plants inserted in the vase.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly ordered the serving maid to make another pot of tea.

It is already full of black and white chess pieces.

Sun Qi was surprised when he heard this, and then glanced at the vivid silk flower.

Sun Qi skipped Mrs. Zhao, went to the couch and sat down.

Sun Qi always knew that Mrs. Zhao was good-looking, but when he stepped into an unfamiliar courtyard, he was amazed when he saw the woman reclined on the couch holding chess with one hand and smiling with a handkerchief covering her mouth with the other.

The current situation is also in his favor. If his daughter can be favored, he can use her power to climb up little by little.

"Why did you come here suddenly..." Mrs. Zhao hung her head at a loss, "I didn't ask anyone to notify me in advance, I'm not prepared at all."

A long white and slender neck was exposed from the maroon collar.

In order not to hinder Wu Shi's eyes, Zhao Shi never showed up during such important festivals as New Year's Eve.

When Zhao heard the movement, she looked up, and seeing the figure of a man, she first frowned, and looked at him with a frown between her brows.

"You are a clever mind." Sun Qi sighed and did not continue to discuss this topic.

Mrs. Sheng is very powerful, he will not and dare not make him unhappy.

"The concubine is grateful for the master's concern, but the concubine has nothing to lack."

Time doesn't seem to have passed by her body, she is still a green young girl who just entered the mansion more than ten years ago.

But for some reason, seeing Zhao Shi's low-browed and pleasing expression, Wu Shi's raised eyebrows suddenly appeared in front of Sun Qi's eyes.

Of course I wanted to think so, but I couldn't show it.

"Your arrangement here is pretty good."

But the layout is very warm.

Coupled with the fact that she locked herself in the yard all day, Sun Qi hadn't seen her for seven or eight years.

But who knows, maybe one day he will be able to climb to the same position as the old grand master.

Sun Qi's gaze was gloomy, and he took a deep breath, inhaling a pleasant fragrance through the tip of his nose.

Sun Qi sat in the study for a while, pretending to practice big characters for a while, and only went to the room of his only concubine, Zhao's, after the housekeeper told him that Wu Shi had entered the Sheng family's door.

If she didn't tell her, she really wouldn't be able to tell that the flower was fake.

The tea leaves are very ordinary, not even as good as the tea in his butler's house, but it has a faint floral fragrance, which is refreshing.

Mrs. Zhao is well maintained. Although her daughter is already married, her slap-sized face is still white and delicate. If she is not dressed a little old-fashioned, she would still be a young girl in her prime at first glance.

He sniffed the fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose, but for a moment he couldn't tell if it was the fragrance of the flower or it was from Mrs. Zhao.

Sun Qi nodded upon hearing the words, "Enough is enough. I have already told Madam to let her take care of you more. If you have something to do, just open your mouth. Just be An Yinger's heart. Don't let her worry about you in the palace."

"I don't mean that by being a concubine, but I'm afraid I'll neglect you." As she spoke, she stepped forward and took off Sun Qi's cloak to protect her from the wind.

Sun Qi stretched out his hand to block it.

Sun Qi frowned and said nothing, put down the teacup and began to look at the furnishings in the room.

Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Then let Wushi go to Sheng's house to see what Old Master Sheng thinks, and he is willing to fully cooperate.

Mrs. Zhao smiled softly, "Thanks to Madam's effort, my monthly expenses are enough to live here."

Although he didn't want to compete with Mr. Sheng in order to please Mrs. Sheng, but the emperor's decision is beyond his control.

"It's the master." She hurriedly straightened her clothes, got off the couch in embarrassment, and bowed in front of Sun Qi.

It was the first time for him to step here in so many years, and only then did he realize that Mrs. Zhao's house is not that big. The sum of the inner and outer rooms is not as big as Wu's bathroom, and it is very cramped.

At this time, the servants also brought the tea, Sun Qi picked up the teacup, squeezed the lid to skim off the foam.

Mrs. Zhao is a quiet woman, since she entered the gate of Sun's house, she seldom even leaves the courtyard.

Wushi's anger was immediately appeased by her husband, and she hurried out of the mansion and went to Sheng's house with anxiety and resignation.

"When will I pass the message when I walk around my house?" He staggered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the chessboard in front of him.

"Why, don't you even recognize your husband?" Sun Qi joked in a rare good mood, staring straight at Mrs. Zhao with a pair of slender eyes with a smile.

Most of the time is nestled in the house, playing chess and drinking tea with his daughter.

After he got the news, he waited in the study room, and within less than a stick of incense, Wu Zhi came to him to make a fuss.

Sun Qi stood at the door in a daze for a moment, then walked in with a complicated mood.

In addition to the old grand master, the Sheng family now only has his eldest son, Sheng Rui's grandfather Zuo Shilang, who is quite capable.

The days are extremely dull but comfortable.

Mrs. Zhao smiled shyly when she heard the words: "As the master said, there are no flowers willing to bloom in such a cold day. These are just silk flowers made by my concubine when I am bored."

He thought for a while, then put his hands down again, allowing Zhao to untie the cloak for him, tidy it up and hang it on the shelf beside him.

Across the flowers and plants is the couch where they sit, the couch is close to the wall, and there is a window on the wall, which is closed tightly at this time, and plum blossoms are also painted on the window paper, but it is just a pink falling plum.

After all, he gave Mrs. Zhao a meaningful look.

Zhao said with a smile: "The concubine knows about it. If Yinger asks about it later, the concubine should just tell the truth."

"You took good care of my concubine."

Mentioning her daughter, a soft look flashed across Zhao's face.

Sun Qi nodded, very satisfied with Zhao's understanding.
