After the funeral of the lord of the country, Yan Xiu took the reluctant Concubine Wen Yu to Luodi.

Because Chu Baiyu instigated Concubine Wen Yu to poison the lord of the country behind his back, Feng Shanyue originally planned to ask him for the guilt, but Yan Xiu looked at Yayue's face and pleaded for him. Feng Shanyue did not deprive him of his status as a concubine, but only ordered to terminate all supplies to the princess's mansion, and expelled him and his wife from Phoenix City, and they were not allowed to enter the city again for the rest of their lives.

Yayue hated Feng Shanyue, but she couldn't, so she had to go out of Phoenix City with Chu Baiyu and follow Yan Xiu to Luodi.

Feng Shanyue stood in the city gate tower, looking at Yan Xiu's distant convoy, very reluctant. Ming Zhao stood next to her and hugged her into his arms, "It's cold, go back!"

"You say, why do people have to fight for power and profit? If Yan Xiu is willing to be an idle king in Phoenix City and live a leisurely life every day, isn't it also very comfortable?"

Ming Zhao knew that she just didn't want Yan Xiu to go away, so he touched her hair, "Yan Xiu is a capable person, it's too wasteful to be an idle king." And," he said, looking at the prince not far away, and then whispered, "Yan Xin will not allow him to be at ease right under his nose." ”

Feng Shanyue followed his words, glanced at the prince, and nodded, "Actually, I understand in my heart that I am reluctant to cultivate." Forget it, the boy has ambitions in all directions, and I believe that he will definitely be able to find his own world in Luodi. ”

Ming Zhao helped her turn around, "Let's go, let's go back, Yan Xiu has already gone away!"

The prince happened to come over too, "Sister, let's go back, the second brother has already gone away." ”

"Good. ”

The queen and the concubine Ruyi have already moved back to their palace from the Autumn Leaves Palace, and Yan Xin has not yet gotten married, so they don't need to move the palace for the time being.

On this night, Concubine Ruyi only brought her personal palace maid to see Feng Shanyue.

"Niangniang, is your body okay?

After this incident, Concubine Ruyi, both physically and mentally, became sluggish. She smiled faintly, covered her lips and coughed twice, and then said softly: "The poison of the miasma is cleared, but my body is also useless, as if I have aged thirty years all of a sudden." ”

"How can it be? Niangniang is just a momentary weakness, and when she recuperates for a while, she will be the same as before. ”

"Can it really be the same?" Concubine Ruyi smiled miserably and shook her head, "I know my own body, and it will only be a matter of life in the future." Don't talk about this, I came to Niangniang today to ask for a favor. ”

"Don't say that, there's anything I can do, just mention it. ”

Concubine Ruyi looked at her, smiled and shook her head, "After entering the palace of Yindu, you still don't change your character, it seems that Shang Jun is indeed very good to you." You are a blessed person, but I am a thin man, I just want to have a place to live in the second half of my life. So I came to ask my mother to allow me to leave the palace and live separately. ”

"Leave the palace and live separately?" Feng Shanyue was stunned, she thought that Concubine Ruyi wanted to ask for a title or something for Yan Liang, in order to mourn after death, but she didn't expect her to make such a request.

"Yes, I have nothing to cling to in this palace, Liang'er is dead, the lord of the country is also dead, I am just a lonely woman without a husband and no son, staying in this palace, looking at those familiar things, it is just to increase sadness. Therefore, I would like to ask my mother for a grace and allow me to leave the palace and live separately. ”

It is not without precedent for a palace concubine like Concubine Ruyi to leave the palace and live separately, Feng Shanyue frowned, "Niangniang, you are too lonely to leave the palace alone." Stay in the palace, Yan Xin will definitely take good care of you. ”

Concubine Ruyi shook her head and got up to salute Feng Shanyue, "I only have this wish, please fulfill it!"

Feng Shanyue hurriedly supported her, "Okay, okay, I promise, don't salute Niangniang!" You are the concubine of your father and the sister of my Linglong master, how can you count them as my elders, let's just talk like this!"

"The national gift is greater than the family gift, and I should salute the queen of Dashang. Concubine Ruyi was not reluctant, and stood up along Feng Shanyue, "Niangniang promised me?"

Feng Shanyue nodded, "Which palace do you want to go to?"

"Nishiyama Palace. ”

"What?" Feng Shanyue shook her head again and again, "The Xishan Palace is small and old, and it has not been properly repaired, although it can live in people, but the conditions are too poor, and it can't be compared with the palace at all." Why don't you go to Fengming Palace? Although it is next to the ancestral tombs, it is repaired every year, and the place is larger, so it is more spacious to live in. ”

"No, don't the Yiyang Wang couple live there? I won't go and join in the fun!" Concubine Ruyi smiled slightly, "I'd better go to Xishan Palace!"

Feng Shanyue couldn't persuade her, so she had to agree first, "Wait for me to let someone go and repair it well, and then move over!"

"Is half a month enough?"

"What?" Feng Shanyue was stunned for a moment.

Concubine Ruyi smiled, "Half a month to repair the palace room should be enough, right?"

"Why is Niangniang so anxious to move out?" Feng Shanyue also said that if she delayed it, she might be able to dispel this idea.

"yes, I can't wait!"

Feng Shanyue couldn't do it anymore, so she had to promise to repair the palace room within half a month, and then let her move out.

After Concubine Ruyi left, Ming Zhao came in, and saw that Feng Shanyue looked a little depressed, so he stepped forward and hugged her, "What's the matter?

"No, she said she was moving out of the palace. ”

Ming Zhao frowned, after the death of the lord of the country, his palace concubines who were still alive would have to stay in the palace to retire. There are also individual special circumstances, such as Concubine Wen Yu, who can follow her son to the fief to live in the fiefdom. If you don't want to retire in the palace, you can ask to go out of the palace and live separately, but the palace guards are very strict, to put it bluntly, like a prison that is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. This Ruyi concubine knew this, why did she make such a request?

"Did you say yes?"

Feng Shanyue nodded, "She looks boring, I really can't bear to refuse." ”

Ming Zhao patted her hand, "Since you've already agreed, don't think about it anymore." If you don't feel at ease, just arrange more people to serve you. ”

"Okay, by the way, when are you going back to Yindu?"

"In two days, but it's not me, it's us. ”

"We?"

Ming Zhao raised his eyebrows, "My queen, you don't think we're going to be separated like this for three years, do you?"

Feng Shanyue smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't think so, it's just that Yan Xin's side ......"

"It's not that he doesn't have ability, it's that he doesn't have self-confidence. So, what he needs is not for you to shelter him from the wind and rain here, but for him to take care of the political affairs himself. In this way, he will become more and more confident and be a good lord of the country. ”

Feng Shanyue nodded, Yan Xin was indeed taken care of too much by the queen, so she lacked confidence in doing things. It seems that if you want to support this younger brother, you have to change the way.

Ming Zhao said again: "Moreover, the situation on the dangerous side is getting more and more troublesome!"
