When they arrived at the entrance of the yard where Li Shishi temporarily lived, Hua Ju and Wu Chenghai got out of the carriage. They looked around and saw that there was no abnormality. Then Hua Ju knocked on the yard door lightly.

After a while, Li Shishi's voice came from behind the gate and asked, "Who is it?"

"Miss Dongfang, it is me, Commander Hua." Hua Ju said.

Li Shishi opened the gate of the courtyard, Hua Ju and Wu Chenghai flashed into the courtyard, Li Shishi quickly closed the gate, and then asked Hua Ju and Wu Chenghai to enter the house.

"Miss Dongfang, are everything ready?" Hua Ju asked.

Li Shishi said: "When I go back to Lord Hua, I have nothing to do in my family, just a few pieces of clothes, and I have already packed up."

Hua Ju nodded lightly, looked at Wu Chenghai beside him and said, "This is Wu Chenghai beside His Majesty. He will take you into the palace later."

"I pay homage to Eunuch Wu," Li Shishi bowed to Wu Chenghai.

Wu Chenghai quickly waved his hand and said, "Miss Dongfang, this is not something you can do, please get up quickly."

Li Shishi stood up and Hua Ju said, "Miss Dongfang, after you enter the palace, how should you deal with this house? Should you continue to keep it or sell it to you?"

Li Shishi said: "Since you have entered the palace, you will not come back to live here again. It is useless to keep this house. You can sell it for me."

"Okay, when I sell the house, I will give you the money." Hua Ju said.

"Thank you, sir." Li Shishi said.

Hua Ju then said, "Dadfather-in-law, it's getting late. Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace. You can pick up Dongfang's wife into the palace."

"Madam Dongfang, let's go quickly." Wu Chenghai said.

Li Shishi went into the bedroom and took out a package. Follow Hua Ju and Wu Chenghai came outside, and Wu Chenghai helped her to the carriage.

"Father-in-law, my task has been completed, and I will leave the next thing to you." Hua Ju said.

Wu Chenghai said: "Don't worry, my family will definitely send Madam Dongfang to His Majesty safely."

Hua Ju and Wu Chenghai bid farewell, and Wu Chenghai left on the carriage.

Hua Ju looked at the carriage that was going far away and felt a little heavy, because she put a kind and weak woman in a cage-like place. Although she enjoyed endless glory, wealth and favor, she could only stay trapped in the palace wall for the rest of her life.

free.

"Sister, I keep my word. If you don't live well in the palace, I will definitely take you out and take care of you for the rest of your life." Hua Ju said in his heart.

Royal Palace.

Huizong changed into a new dress early and came to Jinxuan Palace to wait. Seeing that the time had passed half an hour ago, Wu Chenghai had not come back yet, he felt a little anxious and walked to the door from time to time to look around.

"Isn't everything arranged and I just brought the people here? Why haven't I come back after so long?" Huizong said in his heart.

Just as I thought of this, I heard someone outside say, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wu is back."

When Huizong heard this, he rushed to the gate of Jinxuan Palace in a hurry. Wu Chenghai led Li Shishi and happened to walk to the door. Seeing Huizong coming out in person, the two of them quickly saluted him: "See Your Majesty."

"Forgive."

Huizong said something, then grabbed Li Shishi's hands and said excitedly: "Madam Dongfang, I finally hope for you."

Li Shishi's face turned red and she lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty can be drooped by the people."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Love is a blessing in my life. In the future, I will do my best to serve Your Majesty to repay Your Majesty’s grace.”

Huizong laughed twice, took her hand into Jinxuan Palace, and said, "This is the palace I have prepared for you. How about it? Do you still like it?"

Li Shishi looked at it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the people like it very much."

Huizong said, "Since you have entered the palace, you will no longer be a civilian girl. Now I will give you the imperial concubine, and you will be my concubine in the future."

"Thank you, my majesty,"

"Empress, Your Majesty has already appointed you as a concubine, and you have to be the concubine." Wu Chenghai said.

Li Shishi actually knew that she should be the concubine, but Hua Ju asked her to say this because an ordinary woman would not know the rules in the palace, otherwise if she knew everything she showed, it might arouse others' suspicion.

"I am Dongfang Xinyue thanking Your Majesty." Li Shishi gave Huizong a new gift.

"The beloved concubine is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Huizong helped Li Shishi up, then called all the palace maids and eunuchs to the front and said, "Listen, you must serve the Concubine Dongfang in the future. If anyone dares to neglect her, I will chop her up.

Head.”

"I will definitely serve the Concubine Dongfang with all my heart in the future, and I will never be slacking off at all." The palace maids and the eunuchs responded.

Huizong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, now you can retreat first. If you have any trouble, I will call you."

"yes."

All the palace maids and eunuchs retreated, and only Huizong and Li Shishi were left in the room. The two looked at each other affectionately and hugged each other.

"Your Majesty, I'm not dreaming, right?" Li Shishi murmured.

Huizong said: "My beloved concubine, this is not a dream, it is true. We will never be separated again."

"Your Majesty, I have finally waited for this day." Li Shishi said even more with tears in his eyes.

Huizong straightened her body, wiped her tears with his hands, and said, "Today is a happy day, and my beloved concubine should be happy."

Li Shishi smiled and said, "I am happy."

Huizong took her hand and walked to the table, pointed to a guqin on the table, and said, "I haven't heard my beloved concubine play the guitar for a long time. Let's play a song for me."

"I obey the order."

Li Shishi sat behind the guqin and plucked the strings with her delicate hands. The pleasant guqin sound immediately sounded in the room.

Huizong sat next to him, his fingers kept knocking with the sound of the piano, looking intoxicated.

After playing the song, Huizong took Li Shishi's hand to look at the phoenix bed.

Turning around, the court knew that Huizong had adopted a private daughter as the concubine, and they all wanted to inquire about the origin of the concubine, but unfortunately Huizong gave the death order to everyone who knew it, and no one was allowed to say a word.

So no one can find out.

However, there were still people in the court who reported to Huizong for not taking the daughter of a concubine without permission.

Because women outside the palace were admitted to the palace without strict review, which would pose danger to the harem and Huizong, I hope Huizong could explain the origin of the new imperial concubine so that she could conduct an audit.

"I have sent someone to investigate the identity and origin of the new imperial concubine, so you don't have to worry anymore." Huizong said to the official who asked him to announce the identity and origin of Li Shishi in anger.

The official who reported the report did not give up and said, "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral system of the court,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Your Majesty's marriage must be reviewed by the Zhao clan and the court before he can enter the palace. Your Majesty now investigates privately and has included people in the harem. This is contrary to the ancestral system. You also ask Your Majesty to follow the ancestral system."

Huizong was furious and stood up from the dragon throne and said, "As the emperor, do you have to go through your consent to accept a concubine? Now I have brought people into the palace. Do you still want me to take them away.

Are people carrying them out of the palace?”

Seeing that Huizong was angry, the officials who wrote the report did not dare to say anything else, and stood there embarrassedly and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Cai Jingjing stood up and said, "Since Your Majesty has investigated the identity and origin of the new concubine and has also brought the person into the palace, then don't make things difficult for Your Majesty anymore. Let's stop talking about this matter.

”

Then Cai Jing bowed to Huizong and said, "But the old minister must also advise Your Majesty."

Huizong said, "What does the Grand Master want to say?"

Cai Jing said: "As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. The system left by ancestors cannot be abandoned easily. If Your Majesty wants to accept concubines in the future, please follow the rules of the ancestors to avoid criticism from the court again."

"Forget it, since the Grand Master said so, I will follow the rules of the ancestors in the future."

Huizong originally took action to cover up Li Shishi's identity this time. Now that Li Shishi has entered the palace, he will no longer accept concubines among the people, so he just went to the fore and took the words of Cai Jing to completely end the matter.

.

When Cai Jing saw Huizong accepting his advice, he was very happy and thought, "Your Majesty can still hear what I say, but it seems that he has not completely given up on me."

After the court meeting, Hua Ju came to accompany Huizong to review the memorials. Huizong asked everyone around him to leave, leaving only Wu Chenghai to serve him alone, and said to Hua Ju: "Wenshan, this time you can bring the concubine of the East into the palace, your contribution

Not small, how do you want me to reward you?"

Hua Jue quickly waved her hand and said, "I just passed on a few words for Your Majesty, and did nothing. If you want to say that the credit is the greatest, it is because he sent the Concubine Dongfang to the palace. Your Majesty should reward him, not

minister."

Wu Chenghai hurriedly said, "I just left the palace and did nothing. My real function is still from Lord Hua. Your Majesty still rewards him."

Seeing them pushing the credits around, Huizong said, "Don't push them anymore, you both have the credits. In this way, Wenshan, I will reward you with 10,000 taels of silver, and Wu Chenghai will reward you with 5,000 taels of silver."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hua Ju and Hao Chenghai thanked him.

After coming out of the palace, Hua Ju returned to the guard barracks. As soon as he entered the guard barracks, he saw a soldier walking in and saying, "Sir, Commander Meng, please come."

Hua Ju thought that Meng Qinghe had told him that he would definitely build an iron crossbow within five days, and thought to himself: "Did he really build an iron crossbow?"

Thinking of this, he hurried to Meng Qinghe, and saw Meng Qinghe standing in the weapon shed with an excited look on his face. When he saw him coming, he stepped forward to pay homage to him and said, "Men Qinghe is the best man."

Hua Ju pulled him up and said, "Has the iron crossbow been successfully built?"

Meng Qinghe nodded vigorously and said, "I didn't let down my expectations and finally successfully built the iron crossbow."

"Where is it, let me see it." Hua Ju said hurriedly.

"Please follow the position of humble oneself."

Meng Qinghe said, and then Hua Ju followed him.
