After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Supervision
"Now, since she is married into the palace, I hope the princess will always remember her identity."

The implication is to tell her not to have anything to do with the outsider.

Shen Qingci was suffocated when he heard it.

She and Lin Yunzheng have no innocence, why did she come to him, and the words she said were so ugly.

She moved her lips and was about to explain, but she heard the courtyard door creak.

Nanny Gao appeared outside the courtyard.

"My lord, my concubine, it's getting late, do you want to arrange it?"

Shen Qingci immediately stopped talking, turned to look at Sheng Tingye, and left him the matter of dealing with Nanny Gao.

However, Sheng Tingye walked out of the courtyard without even looking at Nanny Gao.

After he had gone far away, Mother Gao came closer to Shen Qingci, leaned over, and lowered her voice to comfort Shen Qingci: "The imperial doctor ordered that the prince's body still needs to be taken care of, and it's not suitable for intercourse for the time being...so I will have sex with the princess." It's better to separate."

Shen Qingci: "..."

Nanny Gao didn't need to use such a comforting tone.

Because of the news she heard before, she knew that the Third Highness had a "hidden disease" before she married, and it was precisely because of this that she let go of her last worry and married.

Although she never expected that the "Lin Yue" she thought was actually the "Third Prince" she had heard countless times before, but the person is still the same person, and the hidden disease is still the same hidden disease.

It's not that she wants to live with him, she has his handle in her hands, so she can increase her bargaining chips in cooperating and negotiating with him.

She kept the secret for him, and acted as a loving and harmonious superficial couple, and when they encountered problems, they were unanimous to the outside world.

But in private, he can provide her with some convenience, or let her use her identity as Concubine Ning to investigate her father's disappearance.

Shen Qingci also figured it out, compared to marrying a stranger with black eyes, the other party is him, because she knows herself and her enemy, it makes her feel more at ease.

Although she didn't know why this moody man gave her a face just now.

But the current situation is much better than she expected.

Shen Qingci even breathed a sigh of relief.

She thanked Nanny Gao for her kindness, and let Nanny Gao, who was tired all day, also go down to rest, while she took Chun Ya and others back to the wedding room.

After removing the cumbersome Zhuchai and hi-clothes, Shen Qingci hurriedly washed and changed into light pajamas.

Chunya brought a bowl of steaming hot glutinous rice balls, Shen Qingci ate and drank enough, dismissed the maids, and casually swept the peanuts, walnuts, and chestnuts to a corner of the bed, got into the quilt and fell asleep.

Because of being extremely tired, and because the burden that was on his heart was relieved a lot, Shen Qingci fell into an extraordinarily deep sleep this time.

Until Chunya woke her up.

"Miss, it's time to get up and dress up. We have to go to the palace early to greet the queen."

Shen Qingci fell into a dazed sleep, and when she heard the queen, her heart skipped a beat, and then she woke up slowly.

As soon as he opened his eyes, looking at the joyful expressions in his eyes, Shen Qingci felt a sense of trance like what night, where and where.

She got married?
Last night's bridal chamber festivities passed in such a muddled way.

She has no sense of reality.

It was like having a dream.

Chun Ya's voice was still urging from the side: "Miss, today is different than usual, it's the first time we meet the queen, so we can't be late."

Only then did Shen Qingci come to his senses, today is the time to enter the palace to serve tea to her queen "mother-in-law", please greet her.

She hurriedly turned over.

A group of maids and women have already guarded the door.

Just waiting for her to get up, carrying hot water, a handkerchief, and the dress she was going to wear, they filed in.

After tidying up and preparing to go out, the genius is bright.

Shen Qingci always felt that something was missing, and it was only when he got into the car that he remembered that there was someone missing.

Seemingly seeing what she was thinking, she sat on the side, and Gao Nai, who accompanied her into the palace, reminded: "When the saint made the decree yesterday, he brought a message to ask the prince to raise a few in the mansion first. Day, your body needs to be tight."

Sheng Tingye is not in good health, so she can be exempted from courtesy, but as a daughter-in-law, she has to pay her respects.

Shen Qingci's heart beat a little.

Although it was not the first time for her to enter the palace, she just followed behind her father before, and glanced at the few sitting above from a distance.

Now, she is going to pay her respects in such a capacity, which makes her a little uneasy.

In particular, most of them would have to bump into Sheng Tingjing, Jiang Yuzhi, who was also going to pay his respects.

Before, she believed that the marriage could be retired, but she never thought that she would have a day to face the second prince Sheng Tingjing.

Thinking of the mean tricks that man used against him, Shen Qingci wished he could be sent to the respect room as a eunuch.

But right now, that's all she can think about.

The palace still has to be entered.

The carriage swayed all the way, and when it arrived at Zhengdemen, the sky was bright.

After getting out of the carriage, he handed over his waist badge, and then walked all the way to Fengyi Palace with Gao Nunnies and the others. He was hurrying, but Sheng Tingjing and Jiang Yuzhi were still one step behind.

When Shen Qing resigned, they had already greeted the queen first, and went to Concubine Zhang's palace.

Before Shen Qingci breathed a sigh of relief because he didn't have to meet them face-to-face for the time being, he had to summon up all his energy to deal with the queen.

Although before coming here, Shen Qingci had already thought that the queen was definitely not a kind person, but from Nanny Gao and the nunnery before him, Shen Qingci could somewhat see that the queen's face was well maintained, at least on the surface she was gentle and dignified.

So Shen Qingci never thought that the queen would put her outside to dry for an hour.

The two princes got married yesterday, and the sage crowned them kings together.

The third prince, Sheng Tingye, bestowed the title on King Ning, and the second prince, Sheng Tingjing, bestowed the title on King An.

It was obvious that the maids guarding the palace gate had spoken, so King An and Princess An left.

She had just arrived and hadn't made any mistakes, so it was a bit abnormal to leave her aside like this.

Even the sweeping maid who passed by couldn't help hiding away and whispering.

The weather has been getting colder and colder recently. When I went out this morning, there were only sporadic rain spots, but now it has turned into snow all over the sky.

Even though Shen Qingci was wearing a thick jacket and a pink cloak, he couldn't help the biting cold.

However, there is no way.

At this moment, apart from being cold all over Shen Qingci, there was also a sense of powerlessness and anger in the face of power.

But right now, in the face of absolute power, she can only bow her head and forbear.

I waited like this for not knowing how long.

When she felt that her legs were about to lose consciousness, she finally heard the sound of small footsteps coming from the long corridor.

A little eunuch bowed and walked in front of her, "Princess Ning, the empress is calling you."

In the palace, without grace, even if she was Princess Ning, the maids around her would not be able to enter the door.

Only Nanny Gao accompanied her all the way to Fengyi Palace.

As for Gao Momo, she disappeared long after she went in to return to her life, leaving only Shen Qingci standing outside the hall.

So, even if she staggered a little at this moment, she was a little unsteady, but there was no one to help her.

Shen Qingci raised his hand to support the pillar on the side, calmed down, and then followed the steps of the little eunuch tremblingly.

She didn't try to be brave, and even deliberately made her condition worse, so that she looked like a sick child who had been ill for a long time.

Finally made it to the main hall.

Unlike the raging wind and snow outside, the chill was piercing, the earth dragon was burning in the hall, and the curtains were opened, and the steaming heat rushed towards the face, causing Shen Qingci to shiver uncontrollably.

"Princess Ning, please."

The little eunuch paused and raised his hand to lead.

Shen Qingci bowed his head and walked in.

As soon as she entered the inner hall, she felt a cold gaze falling on her.

Those eyes are even colder than the wind and snow outside.

Shen Qingci put on a low-browed and obedient look, stepped forward, and greeted obediently.

"Greetings, daughter-in-law to mother."

The gaze was still on the top of her head.

But he didn't speak for a long time.

Shen Qingci's body kneeling on the ground was a little shaky, just when she was about to "can't hold on", she suddenly heard a lazy female voice from above her head.

"Get up, early in the morning, it's hard for you."

"Mother Gao, give me a seat."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci just stood up, still not daring to look around, and only looked at the person on the main seat out of the corner of his eye.

She was wearing a vermilion palace dress with layers of layers, and her bright vermilion jade hair set off her already bright and gorgeous temperament, which was even more eye-catching and compelling.

Especially that face.

Although it has passed, but because of the excellent maintenance, the years seem to have treated her particularly favorably.

Except for the fine lines at the corners of the eyes that can't be seen without looking carefully, there are almost no traces of time left on her face.

As far as the skin that can be broken by blowing bombs, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a youth in the [-]th.

She is both glamorous and incomparably rich, and there is a coercion of someone who has been in the upper class for a long time in her gestures and gestures.

Shen Qingci was secretly startled.

No wonder Sheng Tingye has such a pair of handsome faces, which turned out to be inherited from the empress.

At this moment, she was taking a small spoon and fiddled with the small incense burner in front of her.

"How is the third child?"

After seeing Shen Qingci, the queen lowered her eyes to look at the small incense burner in front of her.

Her voice was cold, and when she said these words, there was a slight smile on her brows and eyes, but none of that smile reached her eyes.

It only made Shen Qingci feel cold.

In this regard, Sheng Tingye is exactly the same as her.

Shen Qingci thought so in his heart, but he had to reply respectfully on his face: "When you go back to your mother, the prince suddenly fainted yesterday for some reason, but luckily the imperial doctor arrived in time, and he woke up not long after. , What is the specific situation, my daughter-in-law does not know... The prince seems to be unwilling to tell his daughter-in-law."

Even a fool could tell that the queen's words were just to test her attitude.

With Nanny Gao here, not to mention what happened in the wedding room yesterday, even from the time I met her at Jiang's house, Nanny Gao should have reported all the things that followed.

Of course the Queen didn't want to seek answers from her.

Therefore, Shen Qingci told the truth, and at the end he specifically mentioned something that Sheng Tingye was reluctant to tell her.

After the queen heard this, she continued to fiddle with the incense ash in her hands.

She only raised her eyelids, and glanced at Shen Qingci: "Ye'er's temperament follows me, he is a cold-hearted person, you just got married, you don't know him yet."

"When you get along more in the future, you will understand."

This sounds like a mother who cares about her son and daughter-in-law.

Shen Qingci nodded obediently.

The queen asked a few more questions about her health.

Shen Qingci coped with it with the draft he had already typed.

Since Imperial Physician Zhou is also the empress's person, plus she had raised the nanny before, she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

But the good thing is that she has a special constitution and her pulse condition is disordered, and they haven't seen any clues from her yet.

After talking for a while, the queen dropped the small teaspoon in her hand.

Immediately, a court lady handed her a handkerchief to clean her hands.

Nanny Gao made a pot of tea herself.

"This is Ben Gong's favorite cedar silver needle. It matches the scenery today, and it is just right to drink this tea."

Saying so, the queen picked up the teacup first and took a sip.

Of course, Shen Qingci didn't dare to be negligent, so he could only hold it up.

Although the queen seemed to be concerned about her on the surface, she had a strong intuition that there must be a pit waiting for her ahead.

Therefore, this tea...cannot be drunk.

Normally, even if she tried her best, she would have to push it away.

But right now, Nanny Gao is watching and the Queen is watching.

The tea looked like it had needles growing on it, and she couldn't let it go.

Shen Qingci had no choice but to hold it up.

However, thinking about her special physique, Shen Qingci was not very flustered.

She pretended to be flattered, "Daughter-in-law thanks mother for tea."

The queen smiled faintly: "How about you try it?"

Shen Qingci picked it up and took a sip.

It tastes good and the tea is good tea.

But you can't judge anything just by the taste.

On the opposite side, the queen watched her drink, and the smile on her face deepened. She put down the teacup, and turned to look at the snowy scene outside the window: "I never thought that you would look like this."

Shen Qingci didn't know what she meant by that.

What does she look like have anything to do with her previous plan to kill her?
Besides, before she chose her to be the third concubine, she didn't send anyone to inquire about her appearance and talent?

There are too many mysteries with the queen, and she obviously has something to say later, so Shen Qingci didn't dare to take it hastily, she just lowered her eyes, with an obedient appearance of listening attentively.

The queen was somewhat satisfied with her reaction.

She rubbed the sapphire teacup with her fingers painted with Kou Danhong, and said for a long time: "Just by looking at this appearance, you and Ye'er are a perfect match."

"I heard that you suffered a lot in the Shen family before?"

Shen Qingci hurriedly lowered his eyes and said: "It's nothing, the queen mother misunderstood, before the daughter-in-law was not in good health, the parents sent the daughter-in-law to the Zhuangzi to rest."

Of course, the queen would not have the idea of ​​defending her against injustices. If she nodded in response, it would appear that she was narrow-minded and would tear down bridges.

Hearing her words, the queen turned her head, her bright eyes fell on Shen Qingci's face, and immediately said something that surprised Shen Qingci.

"Do you know why I chose you alone?"
