Gao Yan learned about the death of Aunt Li, his face was as deep as water, and his body was filled with a strong anger. The four aides were trembling with fear. After a long time, Gao Yan put down the teacup that was almost crushed by him and said, "Mr. Huang."

"I'm here." Mr. Huang stepped forward and responded.

"Go and tell Shen Bomi that if you can stop, my king's tolerance is limited." Gao Feng said in a deep voice.

"Prince, the reason why Mr. Chen did this should be related to the prince's private desire to meet Miss Chen." Mr. Huang and Shen Bo got along well and helped him explain.

"I know." Gao Feng curled up the corners of his lips and sneered.

"Prince, the Shen brothers and sisters have good abilities. If they are subdued and they are willing to do things for the prince, many things will be solved." Mr. Huang said with a smile.

"I didn't give them a chance." Gao Jing frowned, angry that the Shen brothers and sisters were ignorant of their ruthlessness.

Another aide interrupted: "Shen Bomi values ​​Miss Chen so much. As long as the prince turns Miss Chen into the prince's woman, Shen Bomi will naturally be used by the prince."

Gao Jing snorted coldly and said, "I have promised her the position of concubine, but she refused."

The aide's eyes turned slightly and said, "Prince, this girl Shen is bold, meticulous, talented, and capable of being the mother of the country. The one who holds talent is proud of the king. This concubine..." The aide laughed dryly, "She is unwilling to do it. In reason, if the prince wants to subdue such a proud and arrogant woman, she will have to grant her the position of the prince."

"Lao Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? The princess is still there." Another staff member in gray clothes scolded him.

The staff member Wu smiled but said nothing, lowered his head and took a step back.

Gao Yan picked up the teacup and stared at the pattern on the cup carefully. It seemed that there was something strange about the pattern. Another staff member in a blue shirt flashed his eyes and advised: "Prince, in order to achieve great things, we should give up."

"Mr. Xu, he is not only my father-in-law, he is also the first official to surrender to me. The princess is also affectionate and affectionate to me. How can I bear to abandon them?" Gao Yan closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair, looking painful.

"Prince, please forgive me for your subordinates' bluntly saying that the princess has been married to the prince for four or five years and has not yet been born. There are three unfilial things, and there is no such thing as the queen. Even if the prince abandons her, Lord Xu is nothing wrong." The aide surnamed Wu said with a righteous spirit.

"Prince, Lord Xu also has a concubine daughter, who is only fourteen years old, has a pretty face and a gentle temperament. She can be included in the mansion as a concubine." The Blue-clothed aide suggested.

Gao Yan had made up his mind, and opened his eyes to look at the four of them, saying, "You all retreat."

The four of them saluted and left the study room.

While Gao Yan was discussing with his staff, Chen Danxia also found Shen Bomi, "Brother, why did you send someone to kill Aunt Li?"

"Why do you think I sent someone to kill her?" Shen Bomi asked back.

"Brother, are you a fool when you think your sister? I can't guess such an obvious thing." Chen Danxia said angrily.

Shen Bomi smiled, "I killed Aunt Li to warn Gao Yan not to send someone to harass you anymore."

"How did you explain this to the master?" Chen Danxia asked. Aunt Li was Chen Muke's favorite concubine. If you kill her, you have to find a good reason.

"There is nothing to explain. People eat grains and get sick all kinds of diseases. There are no young and old on the road to the underworld." Shen Bomi raised his eyebrows calmly and said.

Chen Danxia smiled and nodded, "It makes sense."

Aunt Li disappeared from the back house of the Shen family forever. Tao did not know the truth and did not think about going to check it out. Life was like flowing water.

On the second day of the second month, the dragon raised his head. On this day, Jindu City had the custom of picking up a married girl to her parents' home. According to the annual practice, Mrs. Xu beat someone to pick up Xu Luo at the Anping Palace. Xu Luo returned to her parents' home and stayed overnight according to the customs. Suddenly, diarrhea continued in the middle of the night. After being diagnosed by the imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital, the diarrhea stopped, but Xu Luo seemed to be injured and had to rest in bed.

In February of mid-spring, the temperature warmed up, the fourth prince was healthy and thriving. Empress Zhao had the intention to do other things. She glanced at the charity house built by Chen Danxia and felt that the four of them were the example of the girls in the boudoir. She issued an order to summon the four of them to enter the palace on the day of the Flower Festival to accompany her to enjoy the flowers.

When Tao received this oral order, he was in a panic, as if facing a great enemy, holding Chen Danxia's hand, "Jiu'er, you should pretend to be sick."

Chen Danxia was slightly stunned. Before he could speak, Tao said again: "No, it's okay. Pretending to be sick is to resist the order. He was revealed, it's amazing. What should I do? What should I do?"

"Mom, don't panic. It's okay. It's okay. Just go to the palace. With Sister Yan and the others in front of me, I will be honest, not running around, not talking to people casually, not going to the waterside, not going to the heights, and after appreciating flowers, I will come back soon." Chen Danxia knew that Chen Muke would go to the Tao family to propose marriage, which was the work of Empress Zhao, so she had a bad impression of Empress Zhao and did not want to meet such a vicious woman. But in order not to worry too much, she was very calm about entering the palace.

"Jiu'er, Miss Yan, Miss Li and Miss Zhang, their fathers are titles, they are girls from noble families, only you are officials. In this palace, there are inevitably those things that are inferior to others. Don't care. Mother will prepare some reward purses for you. If you look at them, don't make things difficult for you." Tao was worried that Chen Danxia would be neglected when entering the palace, and could not bear it, so he changed his temperament.

Chen Danxia smiled and said, "They are all unrelated people. I don't care whether they like me or not. As long as my mother likes me, my elder brother likes me, and my sister-in-law likes me, she will be like me."

Tao touched a strand of her head hanging on her shoulders and smiled and said, "So good, if you think so, I'll feel relieved."

Tao said he was relieved, but he was still worried. He asked Madam Hua to tell Chen Danxia the rules of entering the palace over and over again, and asked Mo Shi, who followed Chen Danxia to enter the palace to learn together. He repeatedly told them to protect the girl, be honest in the palace, not to cause trouble, and not to cause trouble for the girl.

Don’t lose and don’t forget to listen to the teachings honestly.

Madam Hua told Chen Danxia that the harem was honored by Empress Zhao who lived in Qiyi Palace. Below her was Concubine Jiang who lived in Chunxi Palace, followed by Concubine Zhi who lived in Changchun Palace, Li Meiren who lived in the west hall of Yonghe Palace, He Cairen who lived in Yucuixuan, and Chen Liangren who lived in Fanxiang Pavilion of Xianfu Palace.

By the positions of the girls in the harem, we can know how powerful Empress Zhao is. Li Meiren was dragged down by her mother's family and was demoted to the position; Concubine Jiang, who gave birth to the second prince, and Concubine Zhi, who gave birth to the third princess, let alone becoming a concubine, she didn't even get into the position of a concubine.

After listening to Madam Hua’s description of the people in the palace, Chen Danxia’s evaluation of Empress Zhao was that this was a smart, scheming woman who could do anything to achieve her goal.

A few days later, February 12th, the Flower Festival; early in the morning, Chen Danxia changed into a brand new dress, wore a decoration that suited her third-rank official daughter, got on a carriage, and went to the palace. Yan Suxin, Li Yunqian and Zhang Mu'er had been in the palace several times due to family relationships. Only Chen Danxia was a big girl sitting in a sedan chair. For the first time, she said she was not nervous, that was fake.

However, Chen Danxia would pretend to be calm. Yan Suxin and the other two came to see that they were Li Yunqian's cousin Li Miaoran, and Chen Danxia felt a little relieved. Li Miaoran helped Zhao Hou educate the eldest princess, but she didn't take on this job because Li Yunqian was going to enter the palace. She took this trip intently; Yan Suxin and the other two followed each other and sat in a sedan to Qiyi Palace.

Qiyi Palace is the bedroom of the empresses of Dafeng throughout the ages. The four of them were not qualified to enter the main hall. Empress Zhao summoned them in the small side hall behind. Although it was a small side hall, it was the territory of the mother of a country, and it was still magnificent. Several giant red lacquer pillars in the hall were covered with golden dragons and phoenixes, with a different momentum and dignity. On the beams between the pillars, there were gauze tents, and there were also gold and silver threads embroidered dragons and phoenixes flying in the clouds and fogs.

Above the hall is a throne with rosewood frames embedded in chicken-wedge bones, and two copper horn lamps are placed behind the throne. A copper crane incense burner with one person high is placed in front of the throne. Widths of white smoke slowly spew out, emitting a strong fragrance. Below the steps are two rows of rosewood inlaid with chicken-wedge wooden ring chairs. There are also coral pots more than two feet high, gem-shaped gilded hour clocks and other furnishings in the hall.

A stunning woman wearing bright yellow embroidered golden phoenix costume, holding a round bun, and a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin in the middle of the bun was sitting upright on the throne. In the world, the only woman who can wear bright yellow phoenix hairpin with nine-tailed phoenix hairpin is Zhao Hou.

The four of them knelt down and saluted, "The little girl has seen the Queen and pays homage to the Queen."

"Get up." Zhao Hou raised her hand, wearing long gem-inlaid armor.

"Xie Niangma." The four of them stood up, lowered their heads, looked at the forbidden steps on their skirts, not looking directly or squinting, being polite and honest.

Empress Zhao's eyes swept over the four people and fell on Chen Danxia, ​​who was wearing a pink embroidered pear blossom top and a crimson pleated skirt. Yan Suxin, Li Yunqian and Zhang Mu'er, she had seen them. The only one she had never seen before was Chen Muke and Tao Pei's legitimate daughter.

"Sit down and talk." Zhao Hou smiled faintly.

"Xie Niangniang." The four of them bent their knees, Yan Suxin and Zhang Wu'er sat in the first and second positions on the left, Li Yunqian and Shen Danxia sat in the first and second positions on the right.

"Give tea." Queen Zhao ordered.

The palace maid brought tea and pastries and retreated aside.

Empress Zhao turned her eyes to Yan Suxin and smiled and said, "I haven't seen Mrs. Yan for some days. How good is she?"

Yan Suxin stood up and said, "Empress Lao is worried, grandmother is in good condition."

Empress Zhao smiled and said, "You don't have to be so restrained, sit down and talk."

"The Empress asked, the little girl dared not be rude." Yan Suxin insisted on standing and replying.

Empress Zhao's eyes flashed slightly and asked with a smile: "Who is your idea about opening a charity village?"

Yan Suxin bowed and replied, "It was the little girl's idea to answer the Empress, but it was thanks to the opinions and help of the three sisters."

"I know Yun Qian and U'er's temperament. They can help with things, but they can't do anything that comes up with ideas." Zhao Hou said with a smile.

Li Yunqian and Zhang Mu'er, who were named by her, stood up and smiled and said, "What the Empress said is very true."

"Danxia, ​​this is my first time meeting you." Zhao Hou laughed, "Come here and let me take a closer look at you."

Chen Danxia could not refuse, so he had to get up and took two small steps forward. Empress Zhao smiled and said, "Before I left the palace, I was a friend of your mother, and after marrying, they were all busy, so they met less often. Later, I was trapped in this palace and couldn't get out. Your mother was a tough guy again, saying that she was not in a low position, which made me only see you, a girl until now." Empress Zhao's words were half true. She and Tao did know each other before they got married, but they were just nodding. After all, a daughter of a marquis's house and a daughter of a businessman, whose status was too different, and it was impossible to become a close friend of the boyfriend.

Chen Danxia didn't believe what she said at all. Even if she and her mother were close friends back then, they have become enemies now. If she planned to marry someone like Chen Muke, she would ruin her mother's life, she would still have the nerve to talk about that back then. Chen Danxia bit her tongue and did not say the words that might anger Zhao Empress.

"Come here and let me see how much you look like your mother?" Zhao Hou was so beautiful that the whole country was fascinating. Unfortunately, the three children in front of him didn't pick her up. The fourth prince was young and couldn't tell her. She just wanted to see how the daughter of Tao Peisheng, who was known as the two beauties of Jindu, looked like?

Chen Danxia's heart tightened. It is sometimes not a blessing to be too outstanding. As she grows older, she goes out more and more. She wears a hat when she goes to a crowded place. She doesn't want to cause trouble. It's because of her appearance that her mother was plotted by Empress Zhao. Now Empress Zhao is going to plot against her again? Although she is guarded, she deliberately slashed her eyebrows when she entered the palace, made her white and tender face yellow with pink, and held her childish flower bud head, and cut a row of thick bangs to cover her forehead, but can this deceive the smart Empress Zhao?

Chen Danxia walked uneasyly to Zhao Hou. Zhao Hou reached out and grabbed her hand, frowned and said, "You kid, are you wearing too thin clothes? Your hands are so cold!"

"Reply to the queen, the little girl's constitution is weak and cold, and her hands are cold in the dog days." Chen Danxia casually got himself a fake disease, hoping to dispel Empress Zhao's plan.

"Why didn't your mother hire a good doctor to take care of you?" asked Empress Zhao.

"Reply to the queen, my daughter's mother asked the doctor to take care of her daughter, but she had been recuperating for so many years and had not improved much. The doctor said that this was brought by the girl from the womb, and it was difficult to take care of her." Chen Danxia continued to lie.

Zhao Hou saw through Chen Danxia's concealment at first sight, and his eyes flashed. It seemed that Tao had seen through the things that happened back then, so he asked his daughter to dress up like this. He snorted secretly. With her current status, she needed to make up the same plot as that of the past. She directly issued an order to marry her. Who dared not listen? Zhao Hou let go of Chen Danxia's hand and said, "A few years ago, the country of Goryeo received a tribute to you, and I will give you a hundred-year-old ginseng."

The venerable reward was not allowed. Chen Danxia quickly walked down the steps, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Little girl thanks the Queen for rewarding."

"No need to be polite, get up and sit down." Zhao Houxu helped.

"Xie Niangniang." Chen Danxia kowtowed again, got up and sat back on his original position.
