326. Amorous but always ruthless 10
When the emperor saw his daughter worrying about gains and losses, he felt slightly sad and sighed, "It's my father's fault. I shouldn't make such a joke with you."
Zhen Shan shook his head, "Father is always the best."
The emperor was slightly startled, remembering that she had been naughty in the past, and when Ah Yue punished her, he was reluctant to let his daughter be punished and always protected him. Every time, she would smile with a soft and cute face and throw herself into his arms, shouting with joy and admiration.
"Father is the best".
At that time, even though he became an emperor, their family of three still lived a very warm and happy life, but later...
A trace of sadness flashed across the emperor's face, and he turned to look at the rice paper she moved in front of him. When the words on it came into his eyes, he was startled again.
'At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good.'
This is……
Zhen Shan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Father, you taught Shanshan how to write before. Shanshan has been practicing it for the past three years. It's just that his hand is injured now and he can't write well. But Shanshan will definitely write well."
Yes, don’t dislike it.”
The emperor's voice was slightly hoarse, "No, Shanshan has already written it very well, very well."
"Really?"
"Has your father ever deceived Shan Shan?"
"Well, no."
"Can Shanshan also write other words?"
Zhen Shan's eyes dimmed and he shook his head.
She spent the time when she was supposed to be enlightened in the cold palace. Her mother hanged herself and her father didn't care. The slaves in the cold palace would only bully her. Where could she learn other words?
Obviously the emperor also thought of this and said softly: "Then my father will teach you."
Her eyes suddenly lit up, satisfied and happy, and they were more flawless and clean than the white snow outside the window, as clear as crystal.
The emperor felt more and more guilty. Back then, when he wanted to teach this child to write, she always looked bitter and resentful. Now, whatever he does, the child is extremely happy.
Alas, he shouldn't have vented his anger on her in the first place.
I thought that if Shanshan was sent to the cold palace, she would compromise.
Can……
Ah Yue, if you saw our children suffering so much over the years, would you regret it?
…
The emperor taught Zhen Shan to practice calligraphy for a while, had lunch with her, and then left.
On the way to the imperial study, the emperor was sitting on his chariot, his eyes closed and his expression unpredictable.
Fuquan's eyes moved slightly and he bowed, "Your Majesty, were you just teaching His Highness how to practice calligraphy?"
"Um."
"Can you please arrange for His Highness to study with other princes and princesses in the upper study room?"
"No for now, Shanshan has just come out of the cold palace, and she is still very uneasy. Now arranging her to go to the study room will inevitably make her even more uneasy, and she will be easily bullied by my concubines."
"Your Majesty is very considerate of the princess."
"In the past three years, she has suffered too much and has become very timid. She no longer dares to be intimate with me like before."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The princess has not adapted to it for a while. However, even so, I believe that Your Highness has always admired and missed you very much. A few days ago, I went to the cold palace where His Highness lived before.
There are stones and branches on the place, table, and walls with the words you taught her written on them."
The emperor opened his eyes and sighed softly, "I owe her."
Even though Zhen Shan is only an eight-year-old girl now, the emperor, especially the emperor who worked hard to end the previous dynasty and establish his own empire, is even more suspicious.
No matter how superb her acting skills were and how well she grasped every point of her emotions, the emperor still couldn't help but wonder if she was deliberately triggering his memories and scheming against him.
Fuquan's words not only comforted the emperor's lost heart of fatherly love, but also helped Zhen Shan dispel the suspicion in his heart.
That is, I don’t know whether this Eunuch Fuquanfu did it intentionally or simply wanted to flatter the emperor and sell Zhen Shan.
But, what does it mean?
After all, it will bring their father-daughter relationship to a higher level, which will be beneficial to Zhen Shan, right?
However, too much is not enough, Zhen Shan's occasional "accidental" actions brought back the emperor's memories and filled him with fatherly love, which was indeed very good.
But if she always resorts to one trick, the emperor will get tired of it. Gradually, in his eyes, her actions will become deliberate, have ulterior motives, and will be self-defeating.
In the past month, Zhen Shan spent most of his time in the side hall of Chengqian Palace recuperating from his injuries, learning and practicing calligraphy, and accompanying the emperor obediently. Other than that, he didn't do much or talk much.
But gradually, she became less uneasy towards the emperor and became closer and closer. The natural admiration shown in her life also made the emperor love her more and more.
During this period, Xie Ning would appear in her bedroom mysteriously regardless of anything. Every time he spoke a sentence, he would make ten twists and turns, dig countless holes, and work tirelessly to get her words out.
Zhen Shan always had an impeccably calm face, and her beautiful and indifferent phoenix eyes looked at him without any emotion. Either the answer was the same, or she just pretended that she didn't understand what he was talking about.
And she couldn't pry anything out of his mouth, and the two barely managed a draw.
As for the harem, Concubine Qi was deprived of the power to govern the Sixth Palace by the emperor due to poor management and dereliction of duty, and was demoted to the rank of concubine. The harem was temporarily managed jointly by Concubine De and Concubine Shu.
These two, both concubines who gave birth to princes, had always been at odds with each other and had constant secret fights. The emperor asked them to jointly manage the harem, and the meaning behind it was obvious.
However, for Zhen Shan, the eldest princess, the harem battles will not affect her for the time being, and concubines with some brains will only show tenderness and concern.
After all, although she is a legitimate daughter, she is just a princess and will not be a roadblock for them. On the contrary, if she can win them over, she will be a good helper.
Of course, the concubines are all in a wait-and-see mode now, and no one dares to reach into the emperor's palace with such a long hand.
However, the palace is full of flowers, and there are also some old and disabled ones, such as the recently favored Concubine Zhen, who has a very vase-like face. Unfortunately, her head is also a vase, either empty or full of water.
She said in front of the emperor that it was so pitiful that Zhen Shan lost her biological mother, and that she was willing to raise her as her biological daughter.
The emperor kicked her out on the spot and had someone drag her directly into the cold palace.
The originally vacant Leng Palace welcomed its second wave of owners.
Zhen Shan is the daughter of the concubine, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom. Apart from the empress dowager, the emperor, the queen and the prince, she is the most noble owner of the palace. The concubine sounds noble, but to put it bluntly, she is a concubine. In the eldest princess
In front of him, he had to kneel down and salute.
Which concubine or slave will raise the legitimate daughter?
This is a clear sign of contempt for imperial power and contempt for the emperor.
What's more, the concubine is still the white moonlight in the emperor's heart, how can he tolerate other women to defile her?
Therefore, it was not enough for Concubine Zhen to be thrown into the cold palace. The emperor ordered the dragon guards to search her mother's clan for the crime.
However, on the surface, the emperor was venting his anger for Princess Chunxi, but the ministers in the court knew very well that his majesty was just using such an excuse to open his mouth and not write letters all day long except for not doing serious business.
To sue someone is to criticize someone else, to scare the monkeys.
But in the capital, more ladies were talking about the emperor's love for the princess.
At this time, Zhen Shan, who was at the center of Beijing's gossip, was kneeling slowly in front of the desk, cigarette smoke curling up, holding a brush with her delicate fingers, and practicing calligraphy calmly.
"Your Highness the Princess is so majestic. Concubine Zhen just said one wrong thing and was thrown into the cold palace and had her entire clan expropriated."
Hearing the faint voice with a cold smile, Zhen Shan raised his eyes slightly, and the brush in his hand was still slowly moving on the rice paper. He was already used to a certain Mr. Xie who never walked through the main entrance and had strange whereabouts.
"Is it really because of me, or am I just a gimmick and you really don't know?"
Xie Ning sat on the floor and twirled his hair lazily, "Of course I understand, but I am a little curious, why does Concubine Zhen want to raise the Princess for no reason?"
"I don't know about this either."
"Let me ask you another question, what kind of contact did Her Royal Highness Princess have with Concubine Zhen before?"
Zhen Shan slightly raised his lips, "It's nothing. It's just that a few days ago, I was sitting alone in the imperial garden missing my mother, and I happened to be bumped into by Concubine Zhen. Oh, later on, Concubine Zhen even dined with me and my father."
"Ha," Xie Ning raised the corners of his eyes and raised his blood-colored thin lips, "Your Highness and Concubine Zhen are really destined to be together."
"I think so too."
But, is it really fate?
Zhen Shan knew it in his heart, and Xie Ning knew it even better.
"Concubine Zhen, have you ever offended you?"
She smiled, "It seems so. A year ago, after being hungry for two days, I finally begged a few cornbread from the maid in the imperial kitchen. On the way back, I met Concubine Zhen. Nothing happened. She was Concubine Zhen.
They said that I bumped into her, that the wowotou was trampled to pieces, and that she was beaten severely."
Zhen Shan recalled casually, as if it was really just a trivial thing.
"It's just, it's funny, Concubine Zhen doesn't even remember me."
