This day's spring hunt completely overshadowed the last unpleasant experience. Shen Que was full of thoughts all the way. The Zhang family's apology in front of her was from the bottom of their hearts. He had fought for her and he had done so much for her. There are so many things to do, but now that I think about it, compared to Zhang Chengru, she actually feels like she found a treasure after throwing away the trash.
But his feelings were too hot and sudden, catching her off guard.
Before leaving, because he didn't get a response from her, Shen Que clearly saw loneliness and embarrassment on his face. How could he not feel sad? The girl confessed her love over and over again and had no choice but to refuse, fearing that she would break his heart.
There was a pinching pain in my heart, and the tendons were beating loudly. Shen Que touched his heart.
On this day, he was hunting and making food, and was hanging around her. It was obvious that he really meant it, and he was sincerely apologizing. She was also really touched. After all, he had grown so big and still didn't have a husband. He treated her so seriously.
However, those practical problems also exist, so how can we not consider them? Besides, his journey is destined to be full of dangers. He is just an ordinary little girl. Can he really bear such pressure?
Is it necessary to take a trip through this muddy water?
Oh, my head hurts.
For a moment, she considered reality, and for a moment, she remembered how lost and desperate Li Luansong was when he saved her. For a moment, she felt that she was a bit unhuman, feeling distressed and apologetic...
Until she entered the gate of the palace, she was completely confused. Eunuch Shi came out to welcome her. Seeing that look on her face, she thought to herself: It's over. Your Highness must have encountered something troublesome.
He followed Shen Que inside and didn't know what to say. Shen Que stopped suddenly and Father-in-law bumped into her back.
"Hiss~"
"Damn it, old slave. I bumped into His Highness, are you okay?" Father-in-law Shi was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
Shen Que rubbed his back and shook his head. Looking at his nervous look, he suddenly remembered that this old man was considered an old man in the palace. He could probably make a rough guess about the rules in the palace and the attitude of the emperor and the empress. Maybe he could learn from it. He heard some rumors here.
"Eunuch Shi, are you okay?" Shen Que asked with concern.
The father-in-law was flattered and said hurriedly: "I'm fine, I am fine. Is your Highness fine too?"
Shen Que said it was okay, "I want to ask you a question. Tell me, what would happen if I fell in love with a peaceful woman?"
Eunuch Shi: ...What if? Isn’t this something everyone knows? What's there to ask? Your Majesty and your concubine are both very happy.
After taking a look at her face, Mr. Shi said: "It won't be a big deal. What happened to Heli? Who cares about that?"
Shen Que looked at him doubtfully: "Really?"
Father-in-law Shi was very firm and said yes, "Daye has never cared about this. It is a common thing. Besides, it is really not easy to meet someone who likes you in this life..."
Shen Que felt that there was some truth to this. It was not easy to meet someone who knew someone in such a huge crowd.
Eunuch Shi continued: "It's better than marrying a man. At least I can have a baby."
Shen Que's face turned dark: ...Where did this fall into again?
I saw him tucking up his sleeves, with a kind smile on his face, and said in an immersed manner: "Old slave, I grew up holding His Highness in my arms, and that little bundle has now become a big one." General, haha, at this old age, I don’t have any extravagant expectations. I just think that I can still see His Highness’s baby in my lifetime, and I can hug the little Highness with my own hands, and I will be satisfied..."
Shen Que: ...Sure enough, it would be wrong if Eunuch Shi said more than three sentences.
Just as he was about to leave with his sleeves rolled up, he saw Wuyue coming in with a drooping look on his face, his footsteps as if they were worth a fortune.
"May." Shen Que called him, "You have been looking dejected since you came back from the spring hunting. Cheer up."
Wuyue glanced at her, frowned, and said, "It's my subordinate's fault for not protecting you well."
Shen Que said it was okay: "I'm not angry with you."
"But His Highness is angry with me. He ignores me and doesn't even look at me." May looked very depressed, her whole person was as languid as an eggplant beaten by frost.
See, for the person you care about, one look from that person can make you lose your mind.
Shen Que thought of Li Luansong. Was he more sad than May when he treated him like that?
Shen Que comforted him and said it was okay, "This matter will be taken care of by me. Your Highness will not blame you."
May surprise: "Really?"
Shen ensured: "It's absolutely true."
Wuyue thanked her continuously and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I just heard that Shi Shi and Li Shi are a good match. Wu Wuyue feels bad because His Highness is not worthy of His Highness."
Eunuch Shi: ...What, what are they talking about, why can’t this old slave understand...

In Yikun Palace, candles have been burning day and night for several days. The imperial concubine Zheng Wanren has been sitting in front of the dowry, preening herself.
The palace people around her couldn't persuade her, so they were all kicked out by her.
She was alone in the huge palace. The doors and windows were open, and the spring breeze blew in, lifting the light gauze curtains and fluttering out of the window, making it look increasingly lonely and desolate.
Nanny Lin came in with a bowl and cup, put it beside her, wiped away her tears and said, "Your Majesty, I don't eat or sleep. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it."
Zheng Wanren has been accompanied by Nanny Lin since she entered the palace at the age of sixteen. Over the years, she has watched her wife step by step towards the position of noble concubine. It is not easy. Now that she is in such a situation, her heart feels like a knife.
"Mommy, please let it go. I figured it out. Feng'er is still waiting for me in prison. Now I am his only hope. I must stand up. You see, I am very good now."
She raised her arms and turned around in front of Granny Lin, smiling: "Do you think I look good?"
Nanny Lin stretched out her hand to stroke away the broken hair from Zheng Wanren's face, tucked it behind her ears, and said with tears in her eyes: "Look, our queen is so beautiful and fragrant, beautiful, beautiful."
"Mommy, just watch, I will definitely win this time." Her red eyes looked at the palace door in the distance, where there was the afterglow of the setting sun, and the brightness was about to fade away.
"I used to be so nice, but now I feel disgusted." She raised her sleeves and wiped the tears on her cheeks, "He said that I was the most gentle and considerate, and would always be more lovely than the Queen. But now, haha..."
"Mommy, everyone says that the emperor and empress have the most similar personalities. This is true. Now I can see clearly that this man may like you for a while because of your freshness, but in the end he is the one who wins his heart. long."
Her eyes were full of infinite sadness.
Nanny Lin was puzzled and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Zheng Wanren raised her head and said: "From today onwards, I want to imitate the queen, imitate her to go her own way and not stick to trivial matters, imitate her to be carefree and do whatever she likes, emulate her to show no mercy to His Majesty..."
She took Nanny Lin's hand and said, "Nanny, just look at it. I am younger and more beautiful than the Queen. If I learn her temperament now, I will definitely defeat her."
She swore firmly and looked like she was enlightened.
Grandma Lin was shocked: ...Mother, please don’t mess around.
But before there was time to stop him, he had already left, holding up his skirt and heading to find the emperor.
In the imperial garden, Emperor Xiaochun was feeding the fish.
Because the Empress was in a particularly good mood these days, she did not come to trouble him, and she did not even mention what to do with the second child. Emperor Xiaochun was quite relaxed these days.
It's a rare quiet day, the spring is bright, the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, and there is a hint of honey sweetness in the air.
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine wishes to see you." The young eunuch beside him came to report.
"No, no." Emperor Xiaochun turned his back to the shore and concentrated on feeding the fish, "Just say that I can't be free now."
"But……"
"Your Majesty, is feeding the fish more important than meeting my concubine?"
Before the little eunuch could finish speaking, Zheng Wanren had already barged in.
Unable to stop him, she rushed towards Emperor Xiaochun in a daze.
Your Majesty couldn't stand still and almost fell into the pool. He shook his head before he could regain his balance and said unhappily:
"Why are you so unruly? You barged in without being notified. I remember you were banned. Why did you run out? This is disobeying the imperial edict..."
"His Majesty."
Zheng Wanren stepped forward, grabbed his sleeve, and asked, "My concubine's son has done something wrong. I am here to admit his mistake to Your Majesty for him, but my son is also Your Majesty's biological son. Do you really plan to let him go to jail for the rest of his life?" ?"
Everyone was stunned. What happened to the empress today that she was so straightforward?
"My dear concubine, do you... look like you are admitting your mistake?"
"Your Majesty, don't speak. Please listen to me first." Zheng Wanren interrupted Emperor Xiaochun's words, "The child is still young and it is inevitable to make mistakes. You are his father. You cannot be so inhumane. Release him quickly. Let's take our time. Teach, otherwise, I will not live..."
She actually started to make a splash and grabbed Emperor Xiaochun's clothes. He was crying, fussing and about to jump into the pool. In an instant, everyone was upset and embarrassed.
That day, Emperor Xiaochun seemed to be greatly frightened, and kept mumbling: "There is something wrong with the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine is crazy."
When Nanny Lin received the news, the imperial concubine had already been escorted back to Yikun Palace. Her hair crown had fallen off, her makeup was stained, and her clothes were messed up...
Seeing Nanny Lin, the imperial concubine cried loudly: "The queen can do this, why can't I?"
Nanny Lin helplessly stroked her back and persuaded: "Mom, please calm down. This is not how I look at the queen..."
Zheng Wanren refused to give up and wiped away her tears fiercely, saying: "No, that's what she is like, that's right. There is one more thing she did, and I can't lose to her."
As a result, Li Luansong received an invitation from the imperial concubine the next day.
The two also met at Zuixian Tower. Zheng Wanren covered her face with a silk hat, making her look very mysterious.
"Ms. Zhang, it's not easy for me to come out. Let's make a long story short." She got straight to the point, "I heard that the queen came to you to arrange a marriage for her son. Madam Zhang, don't agree to her. Her son can't do it. He is a martial artist. , rude and reckless, no matter whether others live or die."
"Ms. Zhang, please consider my son, Li Luanfeng."
Li Luansong was very puzzled and asked: "Isn't your son in jail?"
The imperial concubine said yes, "But don't worry, he will be out in a few days."
She lifted up her silk hat, looked around, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "We have already thought of a way. Your Majesty is obsessed with having a grandson. As long as we have a grandson, Your Majesty will definitely release him. When the time comes, Let’s go and leave the mother and the son.”
She looked fiercely, made a cutting gesture with her hands, and said proudly: "The position of the Crown Princess is still yours. When the time comes, when my son becomes the Crown Prince, you will be the Crown Princess..."
