Chapter 152
The emperor is thinking hard about a good strategy. Shen Congjia is an important minister of the court, and Gu Qinglian is his first wife. Even if he is the emperor, he can't openly plan on hitting his wife. Seeing the emperor's distressed expression, Eunuch Li presented a bowl of tea and said: " Your Majesty, what Concubine Gu Gui said about Gu Qinglian just now is not impossible."

"Well, do you have any plans?" The emperor heard that there was a way, his brows stretched, and his face showed joy.

"The slave has a trick, and he doesn't know how to make it."

"Quickly tell me, I'll listen to you." The emperor said eagerly.

"Now that Gu Qinglian is being punished, one of Shen Congjia's concubines is bedridden, and there is only one concubine left by his side. Why don't the emperor give him another concubine?"

"Well, what's the purpose of this?" The emperor asked, not understanding the twists and turns.

"Gu Qinglian was punished in the Shen family, so we know that her status is no longer popular, and General Shen doesn't love her very much. If Shen Congjia has another woman who can be loved by him. Think about it, the emperor, a woman's pillow Bian Feng is sometimes comparable to thousands of troops. Let this concubine bestowed by His Majesty personally instigate it, as long as General Shen writes a letter of divorce, wouldn't Gu Qinglian become a free body, then..."

The emperor understood everything when he heard this, and said with great joy: "Sure enough, it is a good plan! If this matter is really as you expected, then you will have solved the serious problem in my heart, and I will never treat you badly."

The emperor hesitated again: "But, who do you want to give to General Shen?"

"The candidate, the slave, has already been selected, and is only waiting for the emperor to summon him."

"Okay, you can bring her to see me tomorrow."

Eunuch Li got the emperor's will, finally breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling very content in his heart.

The woman he recommended to the emperor was originally a concubine named Ling'er from a seventh-rank official family. Because she was a concubine, she was sent to the palace to be a servant girl, working for Li Niangniang, because this Ling'er was born like water. Hibiscus is quite pretty.Or as the old saying goes, beauty is disaster.Li Niangniang is jealous of this Ling'er's beauty and beauty, and this Ling'er is restless, every time the emperor places Li Niangniang in the palace, she always finds an opportunity to compete for the limelight in front of the emperor, hoping to take the opportunity to attract the emperor's attention.

Unfortunately, Ling'er accidentally broke an imperial vase, and Li Niangniang took this opportunity to punish the twenty big boards and drive them out of the palace.This Ling'er's whole buttocks were beaten to pieces, so pitiful.Seen by Eunuch Li, seeing that this girl was really pretty, thinking that one day she might come in handy, so he secretly placed her in his mansion outside the palace to recuperate.He also spent money to hire an old woman in a brothel to teach her, but now she has changed her name to Liu Xu, and she specializes in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing at home.

When Eunuch Li returned home, he called Liu Xu to his side, and said carefully to Liu Xu: "Girl, now that you are too old, you can't stay in the boudoir all the time."

I heard that what Eunuch Li said meant that his free life was probably coming to an end.

"Father, Liu Xu, I'm not going anywhere, I just want to be by my father's side all the time!" Liu Xu urgently grabbed Eunuch Li's sleeve, and his eyes immediately became moist.

"Silly girl, how could my adoptive father be so cruel and let a yellow girl accompany me, an old man, to die alone." Eunuch Li stroked Liu Xu's head and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will choose a good family for you this time, foster father. Your good days are coming!" Eunuch Li said meaningfully while holding Liu Xu in his arms. "And you will be satisfied with this husband. It's just one thing, your husband already has a house, but you have to be wronged to be a concubine."

"Father, I don't want a husband! Liu Xu, I just want to be by your side all the time!" Liu Xu heard that he wanted to be a concubine, but he was not very happy, and it was difficult to show it, so he made excuses.

"Silly girl, don't be too stubborn! This time, you will not only marry into a royal family with status and status, but you also have to do one thing for me." Eunuch Li changed the subject and supported Liu Xu's head. Looking into her eyes with both shoulders.

After hearing this, Liu Xu fully understood Eunuch Li's intentions, but he also saved his life, like a reborn parent, how could he not repay his kindness, "Father, but it's okay, Liu Xu, I will try my best to complete it! "Liu Xu knelt down in front of Eunuch Li.

"Silly girl, you don't need to be so serious. This matter has to be discussed in the long term." Eunuch Li sighed, and helped Liu Xu to sit beside the desk.

"I have to tell you about General Shen Congjia of General Weiyuan's Mansion."

When it comes to Shen Congjia's name, everyone in the capital knows Xiaojia Biyu.General Shen is well-known for being both civil and military, with both ability and political integrity, handsome and unrestrained, and he is the dream lover of many young girls in Huaichun.Naturally, Liu Xu also heard about Shen Congjia's anecdote, and was secretly happy.

Eunuch Li took a sip of the hot tea that Liu Xu handed over, and continued to say to Liu Xu: "General Shen's main wife is Gu Qinglian, the niece of Concubine Gu. However, the current emperor has misunderstood Concubine Gu, which caused Concubine Gu to receive a cold reception in the harem." " Eunuch Li glanced at the teacup on the case table, and continued: "Nowadays, the Shen residence also does not want to see Gu Qinglian everywhere for various reasons, and recently because Gu Qinglian was framed by a villain in the Shen residence, she has now been infiltrated by the Shen residence. In the cold palace, life is better than death."

Speaking of this, Eunuch Li was saddened, and Liu Xu stretched out his hands to beat Eunuch Li's shoulders, and listened carefully to what the foster father continued to say.

"Concubine Gu Gui is very kind to me and the maids and eunuchs in the palace on weekdays, and she also seeks benefits for us. I have seen Gu Qinglian a few times, and she is also beautiful and harmonious, with a straightforward nature. Now we have come to a miserable end. As slaves, we have to take care of our master!" Eunuch Li sighed and paused.

"Father, what do you mean the child doesn't understand?" Monk Liu Xuzhang asked dumbly, puzzled.

"This is exactly what the adoptive father wants to tell you. The adoptive father intends to ask the emperor to marry you to Shen Congjia. In this way, you will be General Shen's concubine. Are you willing?" Eunuch Li asked tentatively.

Liu Xu has heard about General Shen for a long time, and she is looking forward to him very much, how could she refuse such a good match.She lowered her head, her face was flushed, and she was rubbing the handkerchief vigorously with her hands, looking shy.Eunuch Li had guessed her thoughts.

"It's just that the emperor has always been thinking about Gu Guifei's niece, General Shen's wife Gu Qinglian, so this marriage is also for you to provoke me. Second, Gu Guifei is kind to me. Her niece Gu Qinglian I can also take this opportunity to get away from this sad place that broke her heart, and I, as a slave, have repaid Gu Guifei's favor for so many years. You have to know the seriousness!"

After listening to Eunuch Li's words, Liu Xu understood completely.

She nodded silently, and said with tears in her eyes: "The servant girl was originally from a humble background, and it was a great blessing that she was able to escape the catastrophe and gain a new life with the help of her adoptive father. Wait until the end of the pension for the adoptive father." Liu Xu hugged Eunuch Li tightly with both arms, and Eunuch Li laid his head deeply on the table.

Liu Xu continued: "In order to repay her adoptive father's great kindness and great virtue, Ling'er is willing to do anything, but Ling'er only asks her adoptive father to stay by my side to serve me every day after finishing this matter, not to be a general's wife." Liu Xu Lying on Eunuch Li's knees, he began to cry bitterly.

Seeing this, Eunuch Li was deeply saddened, he lifted Liu Xu with his hands, the old and the young hugged each other and wept bitterly.

"My silly girl, you are still young, how much time do I have left as a bad old man? Just don't complain about the path your adoptive father pointed out to you! You need to take care of yourself in the future." Eunuch Li raised Liu Xu with his hands With a peach-like face, some smiles appeared on his face to appease Liu Xu.

When Liu Xu returned to the boudoir, she was very happy in her heart, thinking that if General Shen can successfully divorce Gu Qinglian, she is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, so that she can be supported by the side room as the main house.

Eunuch Li saw that Liu Xu's affairs were all arranged, and he just waited for another day to ask the emperor to look at Liu Xu's appearance, and move the decree to marry Shen Congjia.The rest of the matter will be handed over to Liu Xu, the righteous daughter, and then waiting for the emperor and Gu Qinglian to love me and me, you will be my friend!

With wishful thinking in mind, Eunuch Li happily came to the emperor's study.

"Your servant greets the Lord Long Live, good luck to the Lord Long Live!" After the ceremony, Eunuch Li walked sideways to Zhou Sicheng and whispered, "Your Majesty, Liu Xu has already agreed. Just wait for the Emperor to choose a date to bestow the marriage, and Liu Xu can become the Lord." The Shen residence is here!"

"It's very good. We just need to declare my will quickly and choose an auspicious day to give Liu Xu, the daughter of an official and concubine, to General Shen Congjia to reward the great general." Zhou Sicheng was overjoyed and ordered Li Gonggong to move the order quickly.It seemed that Gu Qinglian in the distance was slowly walking towards him.

Eunuch Li left the palace and went straight to General Weiyuan's mansion, and read the imperial decree: The emperor's decree, General Shen fought the enemy bravely, made great achievements in battle, and now he is leading the country and leading the army, and has made great achievements.I am grateful, and I specially bestow marriage to General Shen, to reward the great general's merits, this is my honor!
The entire Shen family was quite surprised, Shen Congjia accepted the order in a hurry, not knowing what the emperor intended, but gave him a marriage.

After reading out the imperial decree, Eunuch Li gave Shen Congjia a wink: "General Shen is quite blessed. This concubine bestowed by the emperor is extremely beautiful and talented. Hurry up and thank you!"

Shen Congjia hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.Thinking about how to deal with this concubine, I thought that I already had a wife.But how to deal with this concubine who was bestowed by the emperor as a concubine.

"Chen Shen Cong thanked Lord Long En! Long live, long live, long live!"

Shen Congjia received the imperial decree from Eunuch Li with a heavy heart.

Eunuch Li saw that Shen Congjia's brows were furrowed, and he had expected that Shen Congjia must be thinking about how to deal with the new house bestowed by the emperor at this time, so he said to Shen Congjia: "General Shen, are you not satisfied with the emperor's marriage? Why are you frowning? "

Shen Congjia heard what Eunuch Li said, and hastily apologized: "Eunuch misunderstood, the emperor bestows marriage as a blessing for me, if I am less grateful, how can I be dissatisfied!"

"That's good. From now on, we must treat this girl well and live up to the emperor's kindness!" Eunuch Li stretched out the second half of the sentence, as if to remind Shen Congjia.

Eunuch Li was very happy when he came out of Shen's residence. Recalling Shen Congjia's trembling appearance at that time, it seems that under the emperor's despotic power, Gu Qinglian will soon regain her freedom, and the emperor will be perfect.A stone in my heart can finally be let go.

In the past few days, the inside and outside of Shen's residence was very lively, the girls and women in the residence were busy preparing various materials for the wedding under the arrangement of Mrs. Shen.Old General Shen received the emperor's reward because of his son, it was an affirmation to the Shen family, and it also added credit to his face, so he was very happy.

The preparations for the big wedding in Shen's mansion are progressing smoothly, from the red and green stone lions hanging outside the gate of the mansion to the decoration of lanterns and festoons in the inner courtyard.Neighbors, relatives and friends frequently came to congratulate, the normally quiet Shen Mansion now seemed like a busy market in the first month of the lunar year.
