Shen Shiqing nodded, closed her eyes, and looked at the private seal that was put back on her body after returning to the palace.

She stretched out her hand to rub the piece of jade that had the same origin as her hairpin twice, and she felt at ease again.

"Tell Ergou not to be impatient. The information you can get from the Crown Prince of England does not need to be much, but it needs to be in-depth. The father and son of the Prince of England seem to be domineering and reckless, but in fact they are tolerant and suspicious. Ergou must be prepared to entangle with them for several years. Don’t alert the enemy.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Shiqing waved her hand: "Today you have covered me for another day, so you don't have to serve me at night. Please step back."

One Chicken and Three Cats exited the Nuan Pavilion and saw Four Rats still guarding the door.

Si Shu, with a low eyebrow and a submissive look, was standing in the corridor thinking about what he had seen and heard today. When he looked up, he saw two pairs of eyes looking directly at him.

If he were a real mouse, he might be scared to death!

"What are you doing?"

One chicken and three cats were no nonsense. The chicken was on the left and the cat was on the right. I held the mouse between my arms and carried him to the other side, where there was no one behind me and there was no wind.

The three cats glanced at Yiji and asked first:

"As for the rumored Lady Shen, did the Emperor go to see her today?"

Naturally, all four of the eunuchs knew that the emperor carried the legacy of Wei Wu. The other three, unlike the Four Rats, followed the emperor every time he left the palace, so they naturally wanted to inquire about the news from him.

Today, the emperor had lunch and left the palace, saying that he was going to the princess's mansion. However, in the evening, he came back with a message saying that dinner was spent outside the palace.

The food at Princess Yueqing's house was light. According to their emperor's words in the past, it was like "feeding rabbits to the point of sleepwalking with hunger." The emperor had always avoided it for fear of not being able to eat, so why would he stay there to eat?

The emperor naturally went to another place.

For example, I went to see Mrs. Shen.

The four rats looked at the three cats. A fat cat showed its claws and bared its teeth.

The four rats looked at one chicken, and the skinny chicken had sinister eyes.

Lowering his eyes, he nodded.

The three cats almost jumped up on the spot.

"Then what advantage does Mrs. Shen have that ordinary people don't have?! She can seduce our emperor and make him lose his soul! I have seen Master Shen, Master Mao, before. He is dignified and gentlemanly. Could the daughter he gave birth to be a fox? Tuosheng?!"

"fox?"

Si Shu thought for a while and shook his head.

"There is really nothing surprising about Madam Shen. Her behavior is not dignified, nor is she charming. Although there are some peculiarities, but...it has nothing to do with being charming and charming. Crazy cat, don't say that again in the future. , be careful if word gets out.”

"Then what is she like?"

Growing up with the emperor, Sanmao couldn't even think of how his emperor, who loved horses more than women, could fall in love with a woman.

The four rats let out a long sigh:

"Lively and impatient, his words and deeds are a bit like our emperor's in the past, but he is less murderous and more delicate. He has a pretty life. In terms of appearance, he is not inferior to our queen. She just likes to dress like a man, with a plain face, and so on. The appearance is not obvious.”

Not to mention the three cats, even the chicken was a little surprised.

He said: "Listening to your description, I think our emperor just found a like-minded playmate for himself, who is no different from Ming Ruoshui before. Before, the emperor held...Ms. Shen and held her sideways. She came out just because Mrs. Shen was drunk."

Si Shu pursed his lips:

"Before today, I had such a guess. But today, our emperor personally cooked the noodles for Mrs. Shen, picked the soup and made the noodles."

Recalling that horrifying scene, he raised his eyes and looked at the wooden chicken and stone cat in front of him, and stretched out three fingers:

"Ms. Shen ate three bowls of noodles! I also said it was the first time I saw such an edible official lady!"

Sanmao's eyes widened, and he had a preliminary impression of the rumored Madam Shen:

"Delicate, but edible."

Knowing that "Zhao Surui" had persuaded Princess Yueqing to take charge of her palace, Lin Miaozhen almost clapped her hands and applauded. With her younger aunt and second aunt to shoulder the burden for her, the burden on her shoulders was much lighter.

"Sister, don't be too anxious to be happy. The eldest princess of Yueqing is a practical person. She is not the kind of person who sits at home and waits for someone to hand over an official position to her."

Lin Miaozhen thought about the gentle and kind elder in her memory who always advised her to move on and not to be imprisoned. She always felt that she was not in line with what "Zhao Surui" said.

Shen Shiqing just smiled. You should not look at what the person said, but what she did. When she handed the first two color mixing recipes to Zhao Mingyin, Zhao Mingyin didn't even say thank you. , she didn't take it to heart, just thinking that Zhao Mingyin still couldn't trust her.

Who would have thought that two days later, Zhao Mingyin would ask Chuiyun to bring a new horse-faced skirt to see her.

The color she used was exactly the one she mixed.

"Thanks to your generous help, I didn't dare to fall asleep all day and night. I tried eight times in a row and finally got results. This skirt is made from the first piece of cloth. Please appreciate it, Lord Li."

Even Shen Shiqing, who was once arrogant and conceited, could not help but be shocked by Zhao Mingyin's astonishing courage.

He lowered his head and picked up the teapot at Lin Miaozhen's hand to refill himself with a glass of water. Unexpectedly, what he poured out was medicinal soup.

She smelled it and looked at Lin Miaozhen:

"My sister has irregular menstruation, why didn't she seek medical advice earlier? Just soaking Angelica in water is not the right solution."

Lin Miaozhen quickly snatched the kettle back with anger on her face:

"I thought you had only grown up in political affairs, but I didn't expect that you even knew about these women's affairs."

Looking at the kettle in her hand, she smiled:

"If you alert the imperial doctor because of my little problem, the Queen Mother will also know. Then the courtiers will bother you with things that have not happened for many years and you have no heirs. Isn't it just a waste of your energy?"

Shen Shiqing shook her head:

"Just ignore some useless information, sister, your body is not that important."

After saying that, Shen Shiqing asked the female officer next to the queen to find the imperial physician.

"Sister, when you lead a female officer to control palace affairs, you must also take your own body into consideration."

Lin Miaozhen looked at "Zhao Surui" and smiled:

"Okay, my brother already advised me to take care of myself, and I will definitely do it in the future."

After a while, Lin Miaozhen asked again:

"You are in your twenties, but you still let me occupy this position. Have you never thought about finding someone who knows your heart and will be with you for the rest of your life?"

Snow was falling outside the window again.

It was bigger than yesterday. Shen Shiqing looked at those snowflakes with a slight smile on his lips.

"Of course I have thought about it."

Her parents were so loving that she once thought that all couples in the world were like this. As she grew older, and as her father traveled around, she realized that the so-called "love between husband and wife" is the key to destiny in the world. Just happen by chance.

On the contrary, all kinds of women are actually being bought and sold in the name of marriage. From then on, they are just a woman who has to sleep with her, give birth to children, manage the house, compete for favors, and be a good person trapped in the house. They are just slaves or animals for decoration.

At that time, her parents always told her that she would definitely meet someone with whom she could fall in love and grow old together.

She said she believed it.

It's like she believed that her parents would make her filial until she grew old.

When a dream as big as glass was shattered, what she saw when she woke up was that all the women in the world were covered in mud.

"Then have you thought about finding a companion?"

"I want to find someone who sees me as himself."

Shen Shiqing smiled and told Lin Miaozhen her answer.

What she, Shen Shiqing, wanted was for someone like this.

She is not a slave, nor is she an animal. She is a person like others. If others want to love her, they must not look down on her. Even if it is just a little bit, a minute or a cent, the so-called "love" is not worthy of it. she.

Lin Miaozhen thought for a moment and couldn't help but shake her head, with a somewhat depressed tone: "You are the king of a country, who dares to regard you as the same as myself?"

"It doesn't matter if I don't have it. I will clean up the officials, enrich the national treasury, recruit female officials, and organize the nine borders... I also need to go on an expedition to the north and west. Talking about love can't help me."

Sitting opposite Lin Miaozhen on the couch, Shen Shiqing propped her head on the table with her hands, her tone was leisurely and she didn't care at all.

Like Shen Shiqing a few years ago, Lin Miaozhen quickly saw Zhao Mingyin's amazing courage.

"I have summoned twenty-four female accountants from my property. They are all people who are familiar with accounting. Using the account books they have studied, they can sort out the accumulated accounts of Taipu Temple for five years in one month."

Wearing a princess robe, Zhao Mingyin, the eldest princess of Yueqing, stood in the Duanji Hall and spoke loudly with every word.

"If things don't work out, I would like to demote myself to the people and be exiled to the nine corners of the country, never to return."
