in the sound of swallows

Chapter 145 Half Immortal
Shen Hanlu still didn't waste her identity as a time traveler, at least she knew how to restrain herself when she suffered from arrogance, and began to use her cleverness when she got used to the environment.

The emperor likes compliments, but compliments also depend on skills.Shen Hanlu thought hard for a long time, and finally came up with such a plan.

This dynasty still believed in superstitions, Shen Hanlu said to Gu Chaobei when she went to the imperial study with snacks in her hands: "The concubine had a dream last night, and dreamed that the God-given emperor's "bright and upright" plaque hung above the Luhua Palace."

Gu Chaobei glanced at her, and said calmly: "Concubine Shen is thinking too much."

This reaction was expected, Shen Hanlu didn't say much, and only asked Xiuping to spread her words to Liugong.

"Have you heard about the imperial concubine?" Concubine Hua sat beside Shen Guiyan's bed and said with a light smile, "It's really interesting. I dreamed of a heaven-given plaque, and I still have to talk about it, because I just want to lure the emperor to her palace. ? Everyone in this palace knows that the emperor doesn't dote on her, and he doesn't even want to set foot on her palace gate. Concubine Shen is also heartbroken for the sake of her favor."

Shen Guiyan raised her eyes to look at Concubine Hua, she has only been in power for a month, and the current Concubine Hua and the former Lily are already two people, should it be said that this power is terrible, or is it that the people in the harem are terrible?
"Didn't Sister Concubine Hua have a lot of contact with Concubine Shen?" Shen Guiyan asked with a smile: "Look at these days, my sister has become estranged from Concubine Xi a lot."

Concubine Hua was stunned, and smiled with downcast eyes: "Where is the concubine who is willing to distance herself from the concubine's sister? She locked herself in Fuyin Palace herself, and she didn't want to see anyone."

I don't want to see her.Shen Guiyan sighed softly, and said: "I've been in poor health since my miscarriage, and I'm sleepy all day and don't want to get out of bed, and when I don't have the heart to take care of the harem, my sister should worry more."

Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows, moved her lips and said, "Your Majesty, don't you care about Concubine Shen?"

Care, why doesn't she care?It's just that she doesn't want to be someone's gunman either.Now Concubine Hua's posture is obviously to kill the Quartet and monopolize her favor. She has no stomach and is falling out of favor, why should she interfere.

Concubine Hua was a little reconciled: "Concubine Shen is acting strangely, and recently she has been quite tempted. She is sending love potions to the palace everywhere, instigating concubines to confuse the emperor, and the empress can just sit back and watch?"

Ecstasy?Shen Guiyan was taken aback, looked at Concubine Hua and said: "Sister now has the right to assist the harem, since she knows that Concubine Shen is doing such a thing, how can she convict Concubine Shen without telling the emperor?"

Concubine Hua was silent, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.She was naturally unwilling to confront Concubine Shen head-on, and Concubine Yan Gui had always had an old enmity with Concubine Shen, and she thought she could borrow a knife to provoke one or two, but she did not expect Shen Guiyan to put the responsibility on her instead.

"This... Your Majesty is right. If the emperor is free tonight, the concubine will report the matter."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your news." Shen Guiyan smiled and yawned again: "I'm tired again, I don't know how long this body can last, alas..."

"Your Majesty is very healthy."

Concubine Hua got up and saluted: "The concubine will not bother you any more."

"Well, Treasure Fan, see off the guests."

All the way out of the Yonghe Palace, Concubine Hua's face was not very good-looking, and the passing palace people all bowed and avoided.As soon as he got near the Luhua Palace, he saw the palace people running fast with their skirts in their hands.

"What's the matter?" Concubine Hua frowned, and Hong Zhi hurriedly stopped a palace official behind her to ask.

"Something really fell from the sky. It fell from the sky. It's a big sphere with a plaque on it!" the palace man stammered, saluted and continued to run to the imperial study.

The emperor was alarmed, and the queen mother was also alarmed. Even Duan Wen, who had no energy, followed to watch the excitement.

Concubine Shen pulled a big ball down from the sky with a rope, and there was a bamboo basket under the ball, and a plaque was hanging under the bamboo basket.

The four characters "upright and bright" are golden and gleaming.

Gu Chaobei stared blankly for a while, then looked at Shen Hanlu who was struggling to pull down the celestial sphere from the eaves over there, pursed his lips, and immediately sent someone out to inform the court officials to come and watch.

Regarding the weird celestial phenomena, people generally think that they are destiny.Shen Hanlu just said that she had a dream about a plaque falling from the sky, and in the afternoon, a plaque really fell down, which can be called a miracle.And Concubine Shen has a sweet mouth, knelt down in the hall and said: "This plaque was given by the heavenly father in my concubine's dream, and it was said to be given to Ming Jun. The concubine can only borrow flowers to present Buddha and present it to the emperor."

Gu Chaobei smiled, looked at the golden paint on it, and smelled the plaque.

Ordinary wood smell, nothing special, the only special thing is that it fell from the sky.

The emperor didn't say much, he was satisfied with seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the ministers.There are still people in the court who do not accept him, and he thinks it is good to be able to use this as a deterrent.

The rumors in the palace became more and more outrageous, even saying that Shen Hanlu was a fairy.But the plaque is genuine, the emperor bathed and changed his clothes, greeted him respectfully and hung it on the court hall.

"Probably God knows that there are still people in my court who have disobedience, so I use this plaque as a warning, so that those who have disobedience will be punished by heaven." The speech officer Ye Wenwen is really eloquent. When he came out to say such a sentence, he was so scared The little official almost turned his head and left the court.

Although Shen Hanlu was stupid, she did a good job in this matter. The emperor also rewarded her with a lot of things in the palace, but she still didn't spend the night there.

"No wonder Concubine Shen knows so many things we don't know, she is half a fairy." Concubine Fu said with a smile, "It must make the emperor so happy, the favor of the empress in the future must be generous."

Shen Hanlu looked at the things on the table with a smile, feeling very satisfied in her heart.

Now her life is on the plaque on the court hall, who can move it?As long as someone dares to convict her and touch her, the plaque on the court hall will fail and have no deterrent effect.The emperor is definitely not willing.

She used a hot air balloon and a broken plaque to link her life with Guo Zuo, so clever!

Concubine Hua stood behind, with a faint smile on her face, and went to congratulate her too, but she left after a short stay, and went to Yonghe Palace.

"I really can't blame my concubine for this." Concubine Hua said to Shen Guiyan with great aggrievedness: "Concubine Shen is now a half-immortal in the palace, even if there is evidence of the potion of aphrodisiac, I am afraid that she will not be able to touch her in the slightest. Mistress, look..."

Shen Guiyan was lying on the bed, she seemed very angry when she heard the words, she vomited blood on the side of her head, quickly wiped it off with a handkerchief, and said weakly: "God really wants to help her."

Then, dizzy.

Bao Fan jumped up and shouted for a long time but failed to wake Shen Guiyan up. Concubine Hua frowned, helped call the imperial physician, and also notified the emperor.

But the emperor said that he had gone to Concubine Shen's palace and would not come.

Concubine Hua was stunned, could it be that Shen Guiyan is really gone?Did she find the wrong person?

Baoshan hurriedly said: "Concubine Hua, hurry up and invite Guo Yuanzheng, we little maids please ask him not to move."

"I will ask someone to go." Concubine Hua agreed, but when she went out, she just ordered the little maid, and didn't intend to go by herself.Finally, he turned his head and glanced at the Yonghe Palace before leaving.

Shen Guiyan opened her eyes, continued to chew the mulberries in her mouth, her mouth was full of "blood" and said: "It's really her."

Bao Shan also put away his anxious expression, propped his chin and said: "It's a pity that the emperor was so optimistic about Concubine Hua in the past, but what is the difference between this appearance and other women in the palace?"

Shen Guiyan was a little worried: "It's a good thing that the palace is lively, and I don't want to stop them from being noisy and tearing each other up, but Shen Guiya is going to become a fairy, how can I stop it in the future?"

Baoshan said: "This slave feels that Concubine Hua will not be idle."

Think about it too, put so many biting crickets in a cup, and only one will survive in the end.

Shen Guiyan didn't care who was favored and who was out of favor at the other end.Yonghe Palace is a good place to stay and you won't get tired of it.Every few days, Gu Chaobei would always climb over the wall to find her, sometimes with a playful smile, and sometimes with a frown.When I leave, I will hang a few silk ribbons. If I hang one, I will come in one day, and if I hang three, I will come in three days.

"This is the day I owe you, and it's all a disappointment," he said.

She and him have a quiet life that no one else knows.It has nothing to do with favor, use, or going forward, just because he wants to come, then she will wait.Shen Guiyan clutched her stomach and thought, that's pretty good, isn't it?

Duanwen is going back to Huainan, and her relationship with Yuwen Changqing seems to have made no progress.Before leaving, Shen Guiyan received a decree of favor and went out of the palace in disguise to see her off.

"Isn't it okay to get along for such a long time?" Shen Guiyan's eyes were a little red: "After marrying General Yuwen, you can stay in the capital anyway."

Duanwen smiled calmly, she didn't look for Shen Guiyan much in the past two months, and didn't tell her many things that happened.From anticipation to hope to disappointment, she had clearly gained nothing, but she seemed to have lost everything, and she was so embarrassed that she just wanted to leave.

"The most unrequited love in the world, even if you force it to stay in your arms, it will be an instant firefly after all, and it will soon dissipate." Duan Wen said: "He has someone in his heart, blame him for being too stubborn, and blame me for being late gone."

Does Yuwen Changqing have someone in his heart?Shen Guiyan frowned, that was really hard to force.

The carriage left the city gate, and there was the sound of horseshoes outside.Shen Guiyan opened the curtain to see, Yuwen Changqing was riding beside the carriage, when he saw her in a blink of an eye, he was stunned.

"Miss?"

Shen Guiyan was wearing a man's clothes, which were big but did not reveal her stomach.He raised his somewhat long sleeves and waved at him: "General Yuwen also came to send the princess off?"

Yuwen Changqing nodded with a smile: "Yes, the princess is approachable, and the minister admires it very much. When we are friends, we will naturally come and see them off."

Duanwen closed his eyes, opened them again, went to Shen Guiyan's side and smiled at Yuwen Changqing: "Thank you, General."

Polite and alienated, Duan Wen said: "When I go back to Huainan this time, maybe the Prince of Huainan has a marriage waiting for me. If it happens, I will definitely bring my husband and son-in-law back to show you."

Yuwen Changqing smiled brightly: "Haha, that's natural. It depends on what kind of man he is before he dares to marry Princess Duanwen."

Duanwen smiled with him and put down the curtain.

As soon as the curtain was lowered, her eyes turned red.

Shen Guiyan understood that Duanwen should have feelings for General Yuwen, but Yuwen Changqing didn't seem to appreciate it, so she still had to leave.

"Most of the court's troops are still in the hands of the Wen family, and the emperor's brother is under a lot of pressure. You are by his side, so you can spend more time with him." When Duan Wen left, he looked back at Shen Guiyan and said, "If he responds to everything one day, If the world bows its head, then you are qualified to stand by his side and share the joy with him."

Shen Guiyan nodded, leaned out of the carriage with only half her body, watched Duanwen change carriages, and continued on her way.

Yuwen Chang stood beside her quietly, until he saw Duanwen's car had disappeared, then he turned his head and said: "Weichen escorts the empress back to the palace."

Shen Guiyan couldn't help but looked at him and asked, "Is there someone in the general's heart?"

Slightly taken aback, Yuwen Changqing looked at her in surprise and frowned.

There was a long silence, which made Baoshan and Zhuiyun next to me a little embarrassed. Yuwen Changqing said: "Ceng Chen likes the bright moon in a place very much, and I want to go there to see it after I escaped from the dinner party. Actually, I don't know what it is. It was because the bright moon was beautiful, or because I was curious. Later, someone desperately accompanied me to drink and got drunk many times, and she also said that as long as I was happy, it was fine. I felt that there was no one in my heart, and there was only the moon, so she laughed that I couldn't see clearly."

"Your Majesty, do you think I have the moon in my heart, or someone else?"

Luckily Shen Guiyan understood, and said with a smile: "Naturally, a person should pretend to be a person in his heart. The moon cannot be touched. Why don't you take pity on the person in front of you, General."

"But..." Yuwen Changqing was in a complicated mood. He also caused Shen Guiyan to lose a child. He always felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if he was carrying the shackles of sin, bored, and didn't know how to break free.How could he not be annoyed that the person next to him even pulled him to have fun together?
This anger forced her away.It's been a long time and the water is far away, and I don't know when I will see you again.

"The general doesn't know much about love." Shen Guiyan shook her head and said, "It's like the emperor."

Zhuiyun finally looked away from Baoshan's face, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, General, it's time to go back to the palace."

"Let's go." Shen Guiyan put down the curtain of the car.

Yuwen Changqing rode his horse and followed all the time. Does he not understand love?Love, love, that’s all there is to it, what’s there to understand?
With a cold snort, after walking for a while, Yuwen Changqing couldn't help thinking seriously again:
...what's going on?

After returning to the palace, she changed into a large palace attire, and Shen Guiyan came out to bask in the sun.The sun is very good today, and many people are out and about.The half-immortal Concubine Shen in the palace also carried something, saying it was for her.

"This palace has been quiet in this Yonghe Palace for so long, it's hard for you to still think of me." Shen Guiyan looked at Shen Han with a smile.

"My younger sister got a treasure from the emperor, and I want to give it to my empress." Shen Hanlu smiled gently and harmlessly: "Your Majesty, please look, this is the biggest glass in my court so far."

A crystal-clear thing the size of a washbasin, polished very smooth, looks a bit flat, with a raised center and thinner edges.

"It looks very beautiful in the sun, so the concubine wants to give it to the empress. This is also something that can be transferred." Shen Hanlu said seriously.
