Get up, get dressed, enter the palace, and say goodbye......

After pondering in Shoukang Palace for a while, Zhou Mingshan followed Wen out of the palace.

When she took the last step out of the palace gate, she couldn't help but look back again, the long corridor, the wide bluestone steps, and the majestic bronze statue were close at hand but seemed to be far away.

"What's the matter, Sister Shan?"

Zhou Mingshan turned around, and Wen was looking at her strangely.

"It's nothing, auntie, let's hurry back home!"

Wen nodded and took the lead in getting into the carriage.

"Click-click-click......"

It was only when she heard the regular sound of horses' hooves outside that she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Wen was not very accustomed to the atmosphere in the palace, and when he saw her like this, he smiled clearly.

However, thinking of Fang Cai's situation in Shoukang Palace, she was a little worried and asked, "Sister Shan'er, how is the situation?"

Zhou Mingshan was silent for a moment before replying, "The concubine said that the current situation is unknown, let's not act rashly!"

Thinking of Concubine Ning's gaze without a trace of surprise and as if she could see through people's hearts, Zhou Mingshan felt a little uneasy.

Concubine Ning's spirit seems to be even worse, she has only spoken for a quarter of an hour today, but she seems to have been drained of most of her strength.

But she couldn't help it, except for Concubine Ning, she didn't know who to ask for.

Her father was waiting to prepare a better "future" for her.

Thinking of the piece of jade Ruyi sent by his father, Zhou Mingshan couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.

Dui Xiang also praised the piece of jade at that time, "The maid and the girl have seen a lot of good things, but it is the first time I have seen such a clear jade, and it is a shame that the third master can find such a good thing and give it to the girl!"

She stood aside, watching the pile of incense play with the jade, but she wanted to throw it away immediately.

She didn't know the incense, but she could see it at a glance, this was the special grade Hetian Qingbai jade that returned to Xinjiang last year to pay tribute, and there were only two pieces in total. One of them actually appeared here.

Thinking of her father's eyes, which were as bright as stars in the night, she could barely sleep.

Zhou Mingshan sighed softly, his father has changed after all!

did not abandon her mother, but she was going to "betray" her own daughter who had been hurting since she was a child!

She still remembers the first time she heard about the draft. Father comforted his mother, "You don't have to worry, it's a big deal I'll mention it to my father, Sister Shan has been spoiled by us since she was a child, and she can't stand the constraints of the palace." It's better not to go! When this matter is over, let's find a family affair for Sister Shan near the capital, wouldn't it be good!"

It was then that she made up her mind to abandon her prejudices against her father and live a happy and healthy life as a family.

But I don't want to, it's only been half a year and everything has changed, probably my father can't remember what he said at the beginning!

To add insult to injury, my aunt was determined to withdraw from her family at this critical moment.

Although Zhou Mingshan was annoyed that she was ungrateful regardless of whether she was good or bad, she also had to compromise because of her mother. She didn't want her mother to know, she didn't want her mother to be worried and frightened by it.

Thinking of her second cousin, she couldn't help but feel a dull pain in her heart, and she remembered that they discussed ways to solve family affairs together, talked and chatted together, and the warm palms......

The corners of her eyes were wet, and her nose was sour, so she slowly lowered her head.

It may be that she and her second cousin really have no chance, she has done everything that should be done, but it is still irreparable.

One way or another. She would never choose the road to enter the palace!

"You've really decided?"

Concubine Ning's cold and fluttering voice still echoed in her ears.

She nodded, "Ming Shan really doesn't want to enter the palace, and I ask the concubine to save Ming Shan for the sake of Ming Shan's service!"

She let it go. Even if Concubine Ning would be angry with her and punish her for her crimes, she couldn't care about it!

The dormitory was quiet, and the servants had already been sent outside by Concubine Ning.

For a long time, except for Concubine Ning's sometimes heavy and sometimes shallow breathing. All that was left was the sound of her own pounding heartbeat.

"Pounding ......"

The drum beats, and the heart seems to be beating out of the chest.

I don't know how long it took, but when Zhou Mingshan thought that this qiē seemed to be dreaming, the answer from Concubine Ning finally came.

"Okay, I know, you go back first!"

The voice was soft, with some relief, as if it was relief, and it seemed to be a little helpless, and there was a trace of sigh at the end.

Zhou Mingshan suddenly felt as if he had been drained of all his strength, and he didn't know how to react.

Just remember to kowtow and thank you, "Thank you for the grace of your mother!"

Since Concubine Ning did not refuse, it means that she should do her best in this matter, but she doesn't know how to deal with it.

Yes, Wen's question, she really can't answer it.

Besides, she didn't come for Zhou Mingluo in the first place, but when Concubine Ning asked, she mentioned a little "grandfather seems to have the intention of sending the sisters in the family to run for election", so she didn't say more.

Listening to her answer, Wen couldn't help but be a little disappointed, didn't this mean that he didn't say it?

However, it is inevitable that the affairs of the palace will be more careful, and there are still some days before the draft can be planned slowly, so he nodded and stopped asking.

On the next road, Zhou Mingshan had been thinking about Concubine Ning, and Wen didn't seem to have the heart to speak, so the two went back to the mansion in silence.

"Girl, you're back!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Dui Xiang greeted the little girl with a worried look.

Zhou Mingshan smiled comfortingly, and took Duxiang's arm into the house.

She didn't tell the purpose of piling incense into the palace, and stacking incense was too sensible to ask, but the atmosphere of idleness was so weird these days, and stacking incense also noticed something wrong.

"Girl, after you leave, the housekeeper from the third master's side has made someone come over......" Dui Xiang helped her change her clothes, while babbling about the movements in the house, "The red dogs around the second girl also came, saying that the second girl invited the girl to sit down, and she had to inquire about the reason why the girl entered the palace, and the slave said that she didn't know, she was not satisfied, and she had to leave here for a long time......"

Her father's reaction was what she expected.

It's the third sister, it seems that she can't sit still these days, and she sent a girl to inquire about the news, which shows that she is really interested in entering the palace.

"Ignore her, we won't get in their way!"

Originally, Zhou Mingshan still wanted to save them from the fire pit, but after slowly looking at it coldly, he felt that no one could save anyone, and no one could stop him if he wanted to die.

Even Meng Yuechan had the same attitude, originally she planned to find a way to match Meng Yuechan and her second brother Zhou Mingzhang, but after so many changes in her own family affairs, she changed her mind, no one else was her, and she couldn't stand such a toss.

However, her girl still has to explain a few more words, she thought about it, and said to Duxiang again, "This matter is very important, I won't tell you more before the situation is clear, and you will naturally know in the future!"

Dui Xiang is a duty-keeper, but the girl specially explained to herself, she still felt quite heartwarming, and was about to confess a few words, when an imposing voice came from outside.

"Zhou Mingshan, what are you doing today?" (To be continued.) )
