in the sound of swallows

Chapter 152 Peacock
The previous dynasty was deterred by the punishment of heaven, and the officials Ye Wenwen and Shen Guiwen both said that if a minister is loyal to the emperor, he will not offend heaven.Four members of the Wen family died, and three members of Fu Xueshi's sect died. Fu Xueshi firmly believed in God's punishment, but there were counselors who still had some doubts.

"The people who died were all cut by knives and burned by fire. It wasn't thunder and lightning. How could it be the work of heaven?"

Fu Xueshi said: "The old man saw the sword flying in the sky and killed Concubine Jiang in the former palace. Who said that heaven's punishment can't be a sword?"

Older people are a little awkward, they will never admit that their ideas are wrong, and they will make a lot of nonsense to lie.

For example, the present Fu Xueshi clearly did not see it with his own eyes, and in order to convince others, he also began to lie.In the end, even he himself felt that he really saw Jiang Bin killed by Tianjian with his own eyes.

After all, Fu Xueshi still has status. When he said this, the officials in the court believed more than half of them, and began to move closer to the emperor's party.

Gu Chaobei's recent ups and downs are so easy, the government orders are issued, there is no obstacle at all, all the officials are as honest as children in the school, they listen to what he says.

Correspondingly, Shen Hanlu's status in the harem has also been rising all the way. She is wearing a gold embroidered peony skirt and agate bracelet with gold hairpins and jade rings. He squinted at a high degree, looking at no one with a straight face.

Now she is going to the Yonghe Palace.

Everyone in the palace knew that besides the queen's bedroom, the most comfortable place was the Yonghe Palace.Today, Shen Hanlu came to show her prestige and spoil the scene.

Concubine Hua's words were too irritating, and she wanted to try it too. Now in the emperor's heart, is she, a fairy, or Shen Guiyan, who has never been favored, more important?

As a result, Jianyu arrived at the Yonghe Palace, and the gate of the palace was closed tightly, and it was estimated that there was a wooden bolt on the back.

Before coming here, many people in the palace knew what she was thinking, and they were all waiting at the gate of Yonghe Palace to watch the excitement.As a result, Shen Guiyan did not open the door.

Shen Hanlu was half dead with anger, and said with a smile on her face, "Concubine Yan Gui has overslept, Xiuping, go and call the door."

"Yes." Xiuping agreed, and stepped forward to knock on the door.

Concubine Hua and Concubine Fu came to watch the fun, and Concubine Ye followed.Gao Jinxiu frowned upon hearing the news, and walked in another direction.

The entrance of Yonghe Palace was full of people, and Shen Hanlu couldn't get off the stage. Standing on the shoulders and looking into the palace wall, she simply lifted her skirt and said loudly: "Open the door, open the door! I know you are at home!"

Everyone was taken aback by her sudden voice, and the look of disgust in Fu Guipin's eyes was even heavier. This woman who is dignified or not, or who has no brains, is going to be a queen.

The gate of Yonghe Palace still didn't move, and it was quiet inside, as if there was no one there.

Concubine Hua said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Shen, please forgive me for talking too much, you are only a concubine now, but the one inside is a noble concubine. My sister's behavior is a bit of a sin."

"The next offense?" Shen Hanlu sneered: "In a few days, she will have to salute when she sees me, and now she dares to shut me out, she is obviously afraid."

Thinking of Shen Guiyan's terrified face inside, Shen Hanlu smiled, and she must break open the door today!
"Bang on the door for me." She ordered.

A few eunuchs agreed, and bumped into each other with a bang.But this palace gate is thick and heavy, not the tofu dregs project in TV dramas.Even though several eunuchs' shoulders were bumped and swollen, they couldn't open it.

The imperial concubine won't open the door, what can you do?Shen Hanlu squinted her eyes, and Concubine Hua was still fanning the flames beside her: "Your Majesty, go back, if the Emperor finds out, he will be angry."

"I don't come here to pay my respects to the imperial concubine. She refuses people thousands of miles away and puts on airs. How could the emperor be angry with me?" Shen Hanlu snorted, "If you want to be angry, Guiyan doesn't know etiquette."

Concubine Hua smiled without saying a word.

Gao Jinxiu wanted to go to see the emperor, and sent reinforcements to rescue Shen Guiyan.But before he reached the imperial study room, he was stopped by the guards.There are rules in the palace, and concubines are not allowed to walk around in the front palace at will.

I was a little anxious, Gao didn't think that Yan'er could stop that shrew from the Shen family, and she was the future queen, what if Yan'er was wronged?
Just as he was turning around in a hurry, the door of the imperial study room ahead opened.

Gao Jinxiu looked up, and it turned out to be a woman who came out, a woman dressed as a married woman.

"Madam, please." Zhuiyun respectfully saluted that person, wanting to guide her out of the palace.Gao Jinxiu couldn't care less, and shouted from the top: "Lord Zhuiyun!"

Zhuiyun turned his head and looked at her suspiciously, and the married woman also looked at her pleasingly.

"Isn't this a noble person? Why did you come to the front hall?" Xu Mengdie chuckled lightly.

Gao Jinxiu was taken aback for a moment, and took a second look at the woman.She was sure she didn't know her, but how could she know her identity.

"The nobleman wants to see the emperor?" Xu Mengdie asked.

Gao Shi nodded cautiously, looked her up and down: "Madam?"

"The concubine is in the Xu family." Xu Mengdie smiled and said, "I also make good friends with the imperial concubine and empress. You don't have to worry about the empress, it's good to go back and watch the fun."

Gao was dumbfounded, she didn't say anything, how did this woman know that the imperial concubine was busy?And you said there was something exciting to watch?
After saying this sentence, Xu Mengdie bowed and followed Zhuiyun out of the palace.Gao Jinxiu stood there for a while, then ran back resolutely.

The sound of slamming the door made people feel irritable, Shen Guiyan dressed up slowly, guessing that Shen Hanlu was almost angry outside, and said: "Bao Shan, go and open the door."

"Yes." Baoshan reluctantly walked to the door, pulled the wooden peg with a rope, listened to the slogan "one, two, three" knocking on the door outside, and pulled it violently in time.

"Boom!" The four eunuchs who knocked on the door all fell in, their heads and faces covered with ashes.

Outside, Shen Hanlu was overjoyed, thinking he had finally knocked the door open, and was about to go in to argue, when he saw a gloomy face on the treasure fan at the door: "Concubine Shen has such a big posture."

She was still holding the wooden doorbolt in her hand, and at her feet were four eunuchs who were lying on the ground and couldn't get up.

With so many people behind Shen Hanlu, for some reason, she is not as majestic as a little maid.

"I come to pay my respects to the imperial concubine." Concubine Shen said with a dark face: "The imperial concubine has closed the door, so it's too narrow-minded."

Baoshan saluted her respectfully, stood up straight and said, "Concubine Shen was still only a concubine before the imperial decree came down. My master is a noble concubine. She is in a good mood if she wants to see her. If she doesn't want to see her, there is nothing wrong with her." It's not proper etiquette. On the contrary, it's your empress who led the crowd into the Yonghe Palace. I don't know what the emperor would think if he knew about it."

The girl follows the master, and after a long time, she is always eloquent.Concubine Shen was taught a lesson by a little palace maid, she couldn't hold back anymore, she stepped forward and said angrily: "It's not big or small, I'm doing things in this Palace, when will it be your turn to teach?"

"Slaves don't dare, the empress just invites you inside." Bao Shan stepped aside.

Shen Hanlu snorted, glanced at the empty courtyard, but hesitated a little.

"Sister Concubine Hua is also here to greet you, why don't you go in first." Concubine Shen turned her head and said.

Concubine Hua sneered at this point, and stepped in.Concubine Shen followed slowly, followed by Concubine Fu Gui and Concubine Ye.

The huge guard of honor outside also wanted to follow in, Baoshan let out a cold snort, closed the door and put the wooden bolt back on.

After cutting off a large piece of tail, only the embroidered screen was left beside Concubine Shen, just like a plucked peacock, the arrogance just now was much reduced.

Shen Guiyan leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, watched the concubine come in, and said with a smile: "Today is very lively."

"No, I don't know if I have disturbed the imperial concubine or not." Concubine Hua said with a smile: "Young lady's complexion is pretty good, she looks plump again."

Shen Guiyan chuckled lightly: "The food in the imperial dining room is good recently, I'm greedy, and I sleep heavily at night, and I gained weight unknowingly."

Fu Guibin complimented: "Your Majesty looks good even if she is fat."

Shen Hanlu snorted softly, but her face still hadn't recovered: "No wonder the door hasn't been opened for a long time, is the empress fast asleep?"

"That's right." Shen Guiyan said: "I thought the palace was attacked by thieves or something, someone acted wildly early in the morning, I haven't had time to ask, who did it?"

Everyone present immediately looked at Shen Hanlu.

"It's the concubine." Shen Hanlu lifted her chin and said, "It's not good to sleep too much, it hurts the brain. It is also a painstaking effort for the concubine to come here specially to wake up the imperial concubine."

"Thank you." Shen Guiyan wasn't annoyed at all, she didn't take Shen Hanlu's words to heart at all, as if she was asking casually, without any intention of pursuing it, she just picked up the tea next to her and drank it.

Shen Hanlu made up her mind to come here to show off her prestige, but Shen Guiyan didn't even care about her smashing the palace door, and the emperor didn't go to her place recently, so she couldn't say anything exciting, so how should she play this prestige?
Concubine Hua and Fu Guipin looked at her expectantly, she was riding a tiger.

"By the way, the emperor said that he would confer concubines during the ancestor worship ceremony." Shen Hanlu smiled and said, "Does your empress know?"

Shen Guiyan nodded: "Of course I know, congratulations."

There was no look of disappointment on her face, Shen Hanlu suddenly felt like a child in new clothes, running over to someone to show off, but that person didn't even look at her.

This is the most annoying.

"The emperor also rewarded me with some things. I thought the empress is deserted here, so I specially sent them to my empress to see."

Shen Hanlu gritted her teeth, and waved Xiuping to come forward.

"Oh?" Shen Guiyan seemed very interested, and stood up: "What is it?"

Xiuping opened the box in his hand, it was a pair of coral hairpins, it is said that they are very rare, they were only given by the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Shen Guiyan only took one look, then lay back down again, and said in a disappointed tone: "Oh, this, thank you, Sister Shen Fei."

Shen Hanlu frowned, quite dissatisfied in her heart: "Your Majesty is not satisfied?"

"No, it's just that I don't lack these things." Shen Guiyan yawned, and Bao Fan took the red coral hairpin from her dressing table.
