After a boring fight with Anyu, it was time for Shengyuan to take a break.
Anyu originally wanted to take her back to his hometown in person, but the commanders of the City Patrol Department and the Internal Guard sent people to look for him. With no choice, he could only reluctantly wave to Shengyuan and wilted under the happy eyes of his fiancée. Da Da patted the horse and left.
Sheng Yuan has been riding horses to and from Dali Temple recently. In her words, the security in Kyoto has been excellent recently and the streets are much colder. There is no need to ride a carriage.
"Cheng Shengsi, the Queen Mother invites you to come into the palace." As soon as Sheng Yuan took out the bay-red horse from the stable, she saw the familiar waiter Xiao Nei coming up.
"Okay." Sheng Yuan saw him and nodded habitually.
Since the emperor left the capital, she had gone into the palace to have meals with the Queen Mother every now and then. Calculating the time, it was indeed time to enter the palace.
When Sheng Yuan came to Cining Palace as a familiar person, her first reaction was to look around.
Aunt Qi laughed out loud when she saw this: "Don't worry, since last month, the Queen Mother has separated the time when Princess Yongping enters the palace from you!"
"Hey!" Sheng Yuan didn't expect such a good thing, and immediately laughed innocently.
It's not that she is afraid of the other party, it's mainly because Princess Yongping doesn't hold back when she solicits her thoughts. Even if she refuses many times openly or secretly, the other party seems to not understand or understand, which really worries her.
When the emperor was in Beijing before, she stayed away from him. Now that the emperor left Beijing, how could she accept the olive branch he offered?
"Girl, are you still scared?" Queen Mother Qin also saw her relieved look and couldn't help but laugh.
"I am a court official, so of course I have to avoid suspicion!" Sheng Yuan smiled honestly.
The Empress Dowager Qin looked at her with an angry look but did not expose her, and soon lost herself in the coaxing of Sheng Yuan.
It wasn't until Sheng Yuan left, Cining Palace was closed, and before the Queen Mother Qin went to bed, she smiled and told Aunt Qi: "Try not to let Sisters Yongping and Yuan see each other in the palace in the future! That little girl is hiding behind the cat." The little mouse looks very pitiful."
Aunt Qi smiled and said yes, but when she was tucking Queen Mother Qin in, she couldn't help it and said with a soft smile: "Princess Yongping wants to see Sister Yuan, and she can still do so outside the palace."
"Then I can't control it, but... Sister Yuan, that girl is smart and won't suffer any loss!" Empress Dowager Qin shook her head with a smile, trusting Sheng Yuan's ability to hide from people.
Of course, it's okay not to trust her. After all, even for Sheng Yuan's benefit, she can't directly issue an order to Yong Ping and ask her not to look for Sheng Yuan.
…
Sheng Yuan, who returned home, thought she had brought good news and ran towards the main courtyard happily.
"You said the Queen Mother allowed your sister to raise a baby in our house?" Zheng and Sheng Xiangxun couldn't help but be happy when they heard this.
As the concubine of Prince Hui, Sheng Ran should have traveled with Prince Hui. However, she managed to get pregnant. Everyone in the palace, including the emperor, the queen mother and the two noble concubines, did not approve of her accompanying her.
"Before the trip, King Hui specially asked the Queen Mother for a decree, saying that my sister should come back to live with us to raise the baby. However, the Queen Mother felt that if the Emperor and the others left the capital, my sister would come back and let outsiders know, for fear of having a bad influence. .So someone took my sister to the palace and stayed there for a while. My sister has been nursed back to health recently, and the imperial doctor also said that the fetus is very healthy, so the queen mother finally let her come back from the palace!"
If not for what Empress Dowager Qin said today, Sheng Yuan would not know that her brother-in-law had previously proposed to the emperor that he wanted to stay in Kyoto.
It is said that the emperor was about to agree, but Concubine Xie did not agree because she felt it was inappropriate.
After all, in the eyes of some courtiers with impressive understanding, "staying in Beijing" is equivalent to "supervising the country." Concubine Xie did not want her son to cause trouble for himself.
