Chapter 961 Hiding in Shuixi Pavilion
However, after some observation and analysis, Shen Zhinian felt that it was more likely that Concubine Chun was responsible.
It would be better if the eldest princess could hate her, but even if that is not possible, there is always the princess to take the blame.
Shen Zhinian has never been a saint who repays evil with kindness. In this case, how could she not give Huichun Guiren a "big gift"?
Thinking of this, Shen Zhinian curled his lips and smiled, looked at Xiao Zhouzi, and said meaningfully: "Since one of the ingredients in the snow silkworm molt comes from the Western Regions, it is natural to let it go to a more familiar place."
"Xiao Zhouzi, take advantage of the night and quietly hide it in Shuixi Pavilion. Don't let anyone find it."
Even if she had wronged Concubine Chun in the matter of the eldest princess, so what?
Concubine Chun was a spy sent into the palace by Prince Jin. She was really wronged, but not unfair.
The Queen hadn't asked him to do something like this for a long time, and Xiao Zhouzi was worried that he had no place to use his skills. At this moment, he heard the familiar order, and he became excited: "Yes!"
"Please rest assured, your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter beautifully!"
Shen Zhinian thought about it and said, "There's no need to hide it too well."
Otherwise, what would happen if the people from the Ministry of Punishment couldn't find the snow silkworm shell in Shuixi Pavilion after the incident?
Xiao Zhouzi nodded and said, "I understand!"
Tang Luochuan stood aside with his head down, his eyes full of appreciation and admiration.
When I first met her, Concubine Chen was simple and kind, like a pure gardenia. All the beautiful words in the world can be used to describe her.
However, in the deep palace, no one can remain pure and kind forever.
Unless it's a dead person.
Today's Concubine Chen has shed the immaturity of two years ago. She is now full of wisdom and remains calm in times of crisis.
No matter what kind of person she is, she is the best in his heart. Concubine Chen deserves all the good things in the world, including... the position of queen!
He will do his best to help Concubine Chen ascend to that position step by step!
It was already late, and after this episode, Tang Luochuan bowed and said, "If the queen has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly: "Xia Feng, send Doctor Tang out."
Xia Feng bowed and said, "Yes."
Handan noticed that in the past, the Empress always asked Fuqiu to do things related to Imperial Physician Tang.
Ever since Imperial Doctor Tang and Fuqiu had spoken their minds clearly, Her Majesty had reduced the chances of contact between the two.
This is best for Fuqiu.
Your Majesty has always been thinking about them!
The next day.
August eighth.
Little Zhouzi came in early in the morning, and after paying his respects, he reported in a low voice: "…Your Majesty, I have already done the job."
Shen Zhinian nodded: "I am always at ease with you doing things, go down and have a rest."
Xiao Zhouzi smiled and said, "Yes."
Today is also the day when Concubine Xuan moves to the palace, and the side hall is very busy.
However, these matters were all handled by the people in the Imperial Household Department, so Concubine Xuan was happy to have some free time.
She wore a light blue palace dress embroidered with lilies and came to the main hall to bid farewell to Shen Zhinian.
Xuanpin knelt on the ground and bowed deeply: "...For nearly two years, thanks to the care of Sister Chen Guifei, I was able to live safely in the palace and even become the head of a palace."
"Today I will move to Chengqian Palace. I wish Concubine Chen and the Fourth Prince everything goes well and they will be safe and happy in the future!"
Shen Zhinian stepped forward and helped her up personally: "You and the Sixth Prince are the same."
After this episode, the two talked for a while and then Xuanbin left.
Shen Zhinian held the adorable Fourth Prince in her arms and talked to him, making him laugh from time to time.
Handan and others were watching from the side, with smiles in their eyes.
There was a joyful atmosphere in the main hall, and the palace servants were all doing their duties.
Fuqiu ordered, "...This is the scripture that the queen has copied. Xiyan, you should take it to Yuhua Pavilion and worship it."
Although Shen Zhinian does not believe in Buddhism, the last time the monk from Fatu Temple came to the palace was to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters for the cracked seal, so she naturally had to do a good job on the surface.
"Yes."
Chu Xiyan took the scripture from Fuqiu and went to Yuhua Pavilion.
Yuhua Pavilion is next to the Taiji Hall. It can be reached by exiting the Zhongcui Palace and passing through the Imperial Garden and the Six West Palaces.
……
Changchun Palace.
Small Buddhist temple.
The eldest princess knelt beside Concubine Zhuang, beating the wooden fish devoutly, hoping that the Buddha would see her praying so hard for her mother and allow her mother to ascend to heaven soon.
Otherwise, my mother would stay in hell and suffer, and she would never be happy in her life...
Concubine Zhuang turned her head to look at the eldest princess, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Yun'er, you are so young, why do you follow your mother to recite scriptures all day long?"
Although the eldest princess didn't want to mention her mother in front of Concubine Zhuang at first, lest she be upset, she was still so young, how could she keep a secret?
The fact that the eldest princess recited scriptures every day to atone for Liu Shiqing's sins had long been known to everyone in the palace.
Seeing that Concubine Zhuang's mother was not angry about this, the eldest princess was very happy and became closer to her.
Hearing Concubine Zhuang's words, the eldest princess said, "Mother Zhuang, Yun'er just wants to do more for you."
Concubine Zhuang reached out and touched her head, saying gently, "What a good child."
"But you have already worshipped Buddha for enough time today. Let the nannies take you out for a walk. Otherwise, you will get bored staying in the temple all day. Then, His Majesty will blame your mother for not taking good care of you."
The eldest princess asked quickly, "How could that be?"
"Mother Zhuang is so kind to Yun'er!"
Concubine Zhuang smiled and said, "Okay, let's go out and play."
The eldest princess did not refuse, she stood up and said obediently: "Mother, Yun'er will take her leave!"
After leaving Changchun Palace, the eldest princess couldn't help but recall that she used to love catching butterflies in the imperial garden with her mother.
At that time, Sister Xiyan treated her very well and often painted for her.
Now, every time she missed her mother, she would look at the portrait that her sister Xiyan had painted for her and her mother to ease her longing.
Thinking of this, the eldest princess couldn't help but walk towards the imperial garden.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the Imperial Garden, she ran into Chu Xiyan head-on.
A hint of surprise flashed across the eldest princess' beautiful peach blossom eyes, and she quickly went up to greet him, "Sister Xiyan!"
Chu Xiyan once thought that the eldest princess was innocent and did not take Liu Shiqing's crimes out on her. She even developed feelings for the eldest princess after spending so much time with her...
But now, looking at this pair of peach blossom eyes that were carved out of the same mold as Liu Shiqing, Chu Xiyan couldn't help but think of the time when her father and mother died tragically...
She knew the child was innocent, so she would not take revenge on the eldest princess. But she just couldn't like the eldest princess who looked so similar to her enemy.
Chu Xiyan looked indifferent, and just bowed according to the palace rules: "This servant greets the eldest princess."
The eldest princess also felt Chu Xiyan's coldness, but she didn't mind. She still asked with a smile: "Sister Xiyan, can Yun'er talk to you for a while?"
