After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 150

After entering the imperial palace, Shen Jingcheng walked at the end of the officials who came to Beijing to report their duties, looking at the slightly changed city wall expressionlessly, without squinting.
Entering the main hall, he still found an inconspicuous corner as before, stood there, quietly listening to the officials of the various government states about the local situation, and listening to the emperor's grandson pretending to be gentle and pleasant although his eyes were full of impatience. Dear inquiry.

The emperor's grandson sat high on the dragon chair, with gentle eyes and a gentle voice, like a modest gentleman, two completely different temperaments from the decisive old emperor.
But Shen Jingcheng knew that this person was only gentle on the surface, but in fact he had a dark heart, otherwise the old emperor would not have killed his five uncles mercilessly just after his death.

You know, when the old emperor was alive, he asked him what he would do if his uncle didn't listen to him. How did he answer at that time?

He said that they are all one family, no matter how bad the emperor's uncle is, he is also an elder, and he will convince others with reason.

But in the end, the old emperor belched on his front foot, and he started to find reasons to kill people on his back foot. He didn't shy away from it at all, and he didn't even look like he was convincing people with reason.

As time passed, some officials listened carefully to the narration of the emperor's grandson, but for some people, the emperor's grandson only listened to a sentence or two or glanced at the name and then skipped it.

This year, there were not too few officials returning to Beijing to report on their duties, but it was still soon the Shen family's turn.

Shen Jingcheng, who heard the eunuch singing his name, immediately stepped out of the ranks of officials, and began to report the local situation of Guide Mansion step by step, without any bright spots in the answer.

In the past, the grandson of the emperor didn't know how Shen Jingcheng answered the old emperor, but now he frowned slightly when he heard it from above.

This person's answer to the question was very rigid, and there was nothing bright about it. He even felt a little dozed off listening to this person's narration. Why did the old emperor value him so much, and he was promoted to three levels in a row last time?
The emperor's grandson did not speak at the top, and after Shen Jingcheng answered, he lowered his eyes and shut up.

After a long time, the emperor's grandson came back to his senses after being reminded by the eunuch, and waved his hand indifferently to let Shen Jingcheng back down.

Shen Jingcheng took a few steps back respectfully, and then returned to the corner where the officials lined up.

After a while, he heard the eunuch's high-pitched voice: "Back—towards..."

Hearing the sound, Shen Jingcheng shouted long live followed by all the officials, and waited for the emperor grandson to leave the hall, then followed the crowd and walked out of the house.

In the harem, Song Qingyue couldn't help being a little disappointed after hearing the news from the maid who served her.

A few years ago, the old emperor valued that person so much that he was promoted to three ranks in a row. She thought that this man surnamed Shen had some great abilities, but it turned out that after another three years, he didn't make any outstanding political achievements.

However, although this person is not outstanding enough, he did not make any mistakes after all, and she just needs a backer with an official to let her gain a foothold in the palace. good.

Thinking of this, Song Qingyue carefully dressed herself up.

In fact, if her Song family had someone who could be used, she wouldn't be able to blame Shen Jingcheng.

No one knows, it's good that she has entered the palace as she wished, but she is not even a concubine. It is said that she is an old man next to the emperor's grandson, but she has only won the status of a small nobleman.

You know, in the eyes of those concubines, this title is an ant that can be manipulated at any time. Anyone can make her kneel down, and anyone can boss her around.

And the reason behind all this is only because she was born in a merchant, and because she was raised outside by the emperor's grandson, and because almost all those women have official and noble backgrounds, but she has nothing.

Now there are all kinds of beauties in the palace, Yingying, Yanyan, and the emperor's grandson is a little alienated from her, a woman who was raised in the past, who is not in good health, and who cares about this and that in matters of husband and wife.

How do women in the palace survive?It's nothing more than the favor of the superior, or the rich background of the family, but what she wants is nothing, how can she not be in a hurry?
So she thought of Shen Jingcheng again, she wanted to have a backer for her to rely on, even if she still couldn't keep the emperor's grandson's favor, at least she could survive in this palace.

Therefore, when the little eunuch came back from the trip to inquire about the emperor's grandson, Song Qingyue immediately went to intercept Hu halfway, and dragged him into her palace delicately and weakly, while talking about the things they knew and knew each other back then, At the same time, Shen Jingcheng was mentioned unintentionally, and he mentioned the life-saving grace back then.

"Your Majesty, don't you know that Mrs. Shen is a vulgar woman. If Mrs. Shen didn't hold her back, Mrs. Shen would definitely do better now. I have been regretful that Mrs. Shen has such a wife all these years, so I want to ask Can you choose a well-educated and reasonable woman for him to help Mr. Shen manage the back house, how about repaying his kindness for saving my life?" Song Qingyue raised her eyes softly and begged the grandson of the emperor.

She knew that the emperor's grandson liked her the most, with an innocent face, all eyes on him, and a trace of tenderness and pity.

"Okay, I will answer you." The grandson of the emperor was indeed attracted by such Song Qingyue, and gently hugged her in his arms.

In fact, Song Qingyue's mind was clearly seen by the emperor, but in this harem, almost all his concubines had backgrounds, but Song Qingyue had nothing, so he could understand her panic.

Besides, it didn't seem like a big deal to him.

Shen Jingcheng looks really normal now, if he can grow up, then it will be good, not only can he serve him in government affairs, but also help him balance the harem battle under the turmoil of power.

If Shen Jingcheng doesn't have that ability to grow up, he doesn't care.This did not pose any threat to him, and also fulfilled Song Qingyue's small thoughts, so why not do it.

Seeing that he agreed, Song Qingyue immediately slipped into his arms happily and entangled with him.

Here, after Shen Jingcheng returned to the courtyard in the capital, he waited for the official position to be arranged by the Ministry of Officials. Whether he would continue to rise or stay in his original position was unknown due to the attitude of the emperor's grandson.

But in fact, Shen Jingcheng is very satisfied with everything now, he doesn't really want to be promoted again, and if he is promoted again, he will soon be an official in Beijing.And he didn't like to stay in this smoky capital, and he was very aggrieved working under the emperor's grandson, and there would be no good end in the future. He didn't want to get involved in it at all.

However, Shen Jingcheng's thinking was still too simple, before the appointment document from the Ministry of Officials came down, the emperor's grandson's imperial decree had arrived first, and along with the eunuch who read out the imperial decree, there was also a pretty young woman.
