The day of being favored by Chunxi Palace was over. The emperor summoned other concubines to sleep for several days, but never stepped into Chunxi Palace again. People began to sway in the harem, and some bored people mocked and discussed behind their backs. It was not as long as the time when Yunpin was favored by the time, and this Concubine Rui was just like this.

Although she was secretly ridiculed, the concubines did not dare to show it in front of Shen Ning. After all, she was respected as a concubine and had a bad temper. She was supported by the Shen family behind her. If she offended her, she would not have much fruit.

The queen summoned Chen Ning to Zhaohua Palace. Chen Ning and Chen Ning invited her to An and sat down at the bottom.

Meng Ya looked at her carefully and saw that her face was calm, her eyes were also chaotic, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was indeed a calm person. How many women could be so calm when suddenly changed?

Meng Ya's feelings for Chen Ning were very complicated. Chen Ning once led the people of Yunzhou to fight against foreign enemies. She was the unscrupulous female hero. She admired her very much. However, she said that the Shen family daughter came to the palace, which made her feel scruples. She was deeply loved by the emperor, and the Shen family was behind her, and she was also wise and resourceful. If she gave birth to a prince one day, it would undoubtedly be an obstacle to Yi'er's succession. However, Chen Ning's succession of actions in the palace, and his repeated quarrels with Dong Yuheng made her even more confused. This was not the action of a smart woman.

"Concubine Rui, I see that Your Majesty seems to be unhappy these days. Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know."

"I heard that you had a quarrel with Your Majesty, is there any such thing?"

Chen Ning shook his head, "Your Majesty is annoying me." She was stupid and told the queen that she was punished again.

"Why is Your Majesty angry?"

Chen Ning lowered his eyes and sighed, "How did I know?"

Seeing her sad look, I was afraid that the emperor's heart would be unpredictable. Meng Ya no longer felt embarrassed when she saw this, but said, "Don't be wronged. Your Majesty is working hard for the people of the world all day long and worrying about national affairs will cause trouble. As Your Majesty's concubine, you should bear some anger for him."

"I understand."

Meng Ya nodded, "You are so good, don't worry, Your Majesty will naturally remember your kindness after a while."

Chen Ning smiled bitterly when he heard this, then closed his eyes and made up his mind, "Empress, I... want to go home to visit my relatives."

Jing Chao has a system, and all women in the harem above the throne of concubines can go home to visit their relatives once after entering the palace. Seeing her sad eyes, the queen said, "I will tell you something to your Majesty."

After Dong Yuheng went to court, he met the queen at Qiankun Palace. The queen reported some things about the harem to him. When she recalled Chen Ning's request, she thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rui asked for an order to go back to Shen Mansion to visit relatives today. I wonder if Your Majesty will allow it?"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes sterned. He wanted to neglect her for a few days to let her reflect. He had already planned to go to her tonight, but she didn't expect that she would not repent and tried to threaten him with retreating?

The queen raised her eyes gently to observe his face, and then she was convinced that Chen Ning had used the wrong move.

Sure enough, after a moment she heard the emperor's cold decree, "If you go, let her go, you are not allowed to return to the palace without my will!" He must have been so cold this time!

Chen Ning received the imperial edict and sighed softly.

Two days later, the concubine's ceremonial guard stopped in front of the gate of Chunxi Palace. Chen Ning wore court uniforms and went to thank the emperor and empress respectively. Dong Yuheng summoned him in Qiankun Palace. Concubine Rui's gorgeous clothes seemed to ignore them, and only said some scenes coldly.

Chen Ning glanced at the emperor deeply, smiled slightly, and bowed to retreat.

It’s too mysterious to love this thing. He loves her and she doesn’t love him. She loves him and he doesn’t love her. But why is it this kind of teasing emotion that has made the world a look at it for thousands of years and unforgettable.

The Shen family began to prepare for marriage consultation on the day Chen Ning entered the palace. Therefore, although the order was in a hurry, the Chen Mansion also prepared in an orderly manner. However, the men who were waiting in the main hall were not happy, but instead had a look of trouble in their eyes. The things that Concubine Rui made the emperor unhappy have also been heard by the Shen family. Moreover, Concubine Rui was not as good as other concubines for only one day, but had to wait for the emperor to return. It was said that he was so kind, but wasn't this driving the Shen family's daughter back to her parents' home?

Only the Grand Tutor Chen Nian was calm and waited for his granddaughter to visit his parents.

The auspicious time has come, and Concubine Rui entered the Chen Mansion. Chen Nian was waiting to welcome her children and grandchildren. Unexpectedly, an eunuch rushed over and held a whisk in his hand and said to Chen Nian: "Teacher Chen, the Queen suddenly felt uncomfortable on the road and had an unbearable headache, so she issued an order to avoid paying a visit."

Chen Nian asked, "I have a hard time, I wonder where the Empress is going now?"

"The Empress said, go back to the yard where she lives on weekdays and call the doctor to help her take a look."

"I will send someone to invite the doctor now."

After a while of trouble, the complicated and complicated tape of visiting relatives was left unresolved when Concubine Rui suddenly became ill. Concubine Rui lay down for a day, and then appeared in the Enyi Hall with a refreshing feeling the next day. Chen Nian, as a first-class tutor, just needed to greet him. Chen Xi led his brothers and younger generations to pay a visit, but Chen Ning raised his hand to stop him, "My father and uncle gave me a big gift, I'm really sorry, I'll spare me."

Eunuch Hong, who was following by his side, he hesitated: "Empress, this is not in line with etiquette..."

Chen Ning said: "Yesterday I entered the Shen family, and the Shen family needed to perform the rituals of the king and the ministers. Today, as the daughter of the Shen family, how can I let my father pay a visit again and again?"

Now this scene is not as formal as yesterday. Since the Empress spoke, Eunuch Hong was not inconvenient to say more, so she had to give up.

Several people were chatting for a while, and Chen Ning was about to leave, but Chen Nian actually spoke, "I heard that the Queen Mother is very good at chess skills, I wonder if I am lucky to play against the Queen Mother?"

Chen Ning looked at the old tutor in surprise. Although she had only a few sides, she knew that her grandfather had experienced strong winds and waves. Now even with the storm, she could not move as if she was as strong as a mountain. He asked her to play chess, did he think she needed to give it a point?

"The granddaughter is honored."

The two of them set up chessboards in the Enyi Hall, Chen Nian asked their children and grandchildren to retreat, Chen Ning also abandoned the palace servants, and even Eunuch Hong left together.

Chen Ning asked Chen Nian to start, and Chen Nian waved his horse with voluntary action.

After the incense in Enyi Hall was burned, the chess game had reached the middle plate. Chen Ning was playing with the chess pieces in his hand, and only one sentence was in his heart:

Ginger is still spicy.

Chen Nian moved a piece and smiled at him, "People often say that playing chess and watching people, but I see the word "nature" when I see the Queen Mother's chess path."

Chen Ning nodded, "Grandfather is really amazing, I'm just a rampant person."

Chen Nian said, "If the Empress hadn't had such courage, she wouldn't dare to wear armor in Yunzhou." Then he sighed, "It's all good fortune. If it weren't for my Shen family, how could you be left alone among the people and encounter murder? Everything is my fault."

"My grandfather is so serious. He should be so destined. How can he blame others?"

Chen Nian looked at her admiration and said, "There is no one in this room, and I will say something to the queen."

"Grandfather, please speak."

"Your Majesty issued an order to summon you into the palace as a concubine. I was extremely happy. But it was not because the Shen family had a concubine, but because the empress's full body and attitude would be better to accompany the emperor."

"My grandfather has been too much. I am just an ordinary person. It turned out like this by chance." Chen Ning smiled and lowered his head and fell down.

"The Empress is too humble. I think I have experienced the vast ocean and have some eyes to recognize people."

Chen Ning had to smile lightly.

"I have been thinking about it for a long time, but only now has the opportunity to talk to the Empress. As the chief of the Shen clan, I decided to advance and retreat with the Empress, but the Empress will follow the leader."

Chen Ning was shocked and raised his head. She didn't believe that he hadn't heard of her falling out of favor. At this critical moment, the Taifu actually made such a decision. What was he thinking?

I thought I would not have too much involvement with the Shen family, and even if something happened, the Shen family would be able to get rid of it. But the old lady tutor spontaneously wanted to get into this muddy water? He just looked at her so much, thinking that she would regain the emperor's heart once she returned to the palace? Or did her appearance interrupt their original plan and therefore she wanted to get back on track from her?

"My grandfather, I have always been a ignorant person. You have high hopes, and I am afraid that I will disappoint you."

"Empress just follow your pace, and we will follow in the footsteps of our empress."

Chen Ning returned to the inner courtyard with great concern, and then met Chen Zhang and others, and did not let the elders kneel down. Eunuch Hong turned a blind eye. Did this empress pretend to have a headache yesterday?

After reminiscing about the past, Chen Ning asked the idle people to retreat, leaving only his mother, Chen Zhang, who had already cried and cried.

"My son, I heard some gossip for my mother, saying that you angered His Majesty and lost your favor. Is this true?" Mrs. Chen Er grabbed Chen Ning and asked anxiously while crying.

"Mother doesn't have to worry, it's just a normal noisy."

Chen Zhang almost fainted when he heard this. What is ordinary noisy? Is there any unusual noisy with the emperor?

Chen Ning looked very relaxed, "Mom, my daughter has finally come back, and I will accompany my daughter to Lingyin Temple tomorrow. When my daughter went back, she felt that there was quite spiritual. She made a wish. Now that it has come true, she should go and fulfill her wish."

"Lingyin Temple?" Why did the daughter make a wish in that small temple? Chen Zhang wiped away his tears, "What wish did you make?"

Chen Ning smiled but didn't answer.

Chen Zhang's eyes lit up and he looked at her flat belly, "Can it be..."

"No." Chen Ning shook his head very simply.

Chen Zhang was disappointed, "You are now the imperial concubine, and there are many inconveniences when you go out. I will wait until tomorrow's mother is ready for you and I will go there the next day."

Chen Ning thought about it and agreed. The emperor was determined to be neglected and should not have asked her to return to the palace so soon.

The next day, there were many visits from the Shen family and her in-laws. Chen Ning only made some free time when the sun was falling. She politely declined Chen Zhang's company and went to the back garden of Chen Mansion, and did not allow her to follow her. She entered the garden alone.

Knowing that Chen Ning was coming, the butler had already driven all the idle people in the garden. The garden occasionally made a few birds cry, leisurely and elegant. Chen Ning slowly climbed the stone bridge and looked at the koi in the pond for a while, but saw a bag of fish and food on the edge of the bridge corridor. He felt that the butler was indeed careful, so he took it apart and threw it into the pond one by one. After teasing for a while, Shuang Yan poured all the bags in and clapped his hands and left.

While enjoying the rare free time, she hummed an untuned song in her mouth, "Lala-Lalala..." From beginning to end, the louder and louder the more she "la", the bigger the smile. Finally, she was tired of singing, so she found a big stone to sit down, looked up at the afterglow, and was stunned for a while and reached out to grab the sun, and said loudly: "Sun Light, take me home!"

After pausing for a moment without reaction, Chen Ning murmured: "Is the spell wrong? Come again, ah! Sunset, take me home!"

"Beautiful sunset, take me home!"

"Sunxia, ​​take me home!"

"Baiyun, take me home!"

Chen Ning was crazy for a while, and smiled self-deprecatingly on the stone.

"Ahem, ahem."

Chen Ning immediately stood up and looked around, "Who is here?" She sweated for a while, butler, I praised you for being careful, why can't you even be cleared? Who saw her embarrassing appearance?

A movement in the grass, Chen Ning narrowed his eyes and saw the two horns of the horns, and felt relieved. It turned out to be a child.

She cleared her throat and chuckled, "Come out, see your tail."

There was a silence in the grass, and then a loud noise came out. A young man in a cloth came out, looked at her timidly, and asked, "Are you the goddess I asked me to find?" But this sister was crazy and didn't look like a god at all.

Chen Ning burst into laughter, why did Duan Yu feel a little like? She walked towards him and said with a smile: "Who is your mother? Are you lost?" This outfit should be the child of the servant lady in the house.

"My mother is... cough cough, cough cough cough!"

The child coughed violently, Chen Ning squatted down and patted his back, "Do you feel the cold, kid?"

The child covered his mouth with his hands, and a piece of his arm was exposed. There were large patches of erythema on his head. Chen Ning frowned and took up his arm, then lifted the corner of his clothes and looked at it. The ominous premonition gradually arose, "Little brother, are you allergic or..."

Suddenly, there were constant calls from far to near, "Empress, Empress, where are you?"

"I'm here--" Chen Ning said loudly.

"Someone is coming. The fairy goddess lets go. Mom wants me to hide, otherwise I will be beaten!"

"It doesn't matter, I'm here." Chen Ning felt instinctively unable to let him run around anymore, so he grabbed him, looked at Xiuru who was running from a distance and the butler following behind him, and shouted, "Stop! Go and call a doctor first!"

When Xiuru heard this, her face turned pale. She looked at the little boy beside her master and said tremblingly: "Empress..."
