April, when the flowers bloomed, slowly came to an end, and in the blink of an eye, it was the time of the Dragon Boat Festival.

And the eldest prince has become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and moved to live in the East Palace. Someone proposed to build the prince's mansion outside the palace, but the prince refused.

Although Emperor Qinglong occasionally went to the court, appeared in front of the ministers, and also handled government affairs in a hoarse and low voice, in front of people who did not know the truth, the emperor was only a little weak and did not fully recover, but the prince himself knew very well that the emperor did not have much time.

The more he went to power, the less time he had left.

There is really no need to waste money and labor.

What's more, the prince is about to get married. The crown princess was carefully selected by the queen, from the Liao family, surnamed Yang, her grandfather was an official worshipper Sanpin, and her father was a student of Liao Taifu. This Yang girl has been accompanying her father in the field, and she has only returned to the capital not long ago, and she has only appeared once, and she is a piano that shocks the audience, and her appearance and temperament are very outstanding. Even the prince himself is also satisfied.

The prince's wedding, the capital is full of joy.

Shen Rouning was in this joyful mood, and once again left the capital and walked towards Shenjia Village. The courtyard of Xuzhou Mansion has been disposed of, and it is not ready to go back. This is also how it should be, they have no relatives in Xuzhou. Moreover, before leaving, Shen Rouning had already asked Chen Houyun to keep an eye on the real estate for their family-

Most of their families will live in the capital for a long time in the future.

Even if Master Shen Si is still in the field, it will not be useless to buy a property in the capital.

The rape flowers are golden, and the bees and butterflies dance all the way.

Shen Rouning's convoy didn't go fast. Passing through a small town. It was just around noon, and the convoy stopped to rest.

Chen Houqi, who went out for the first time, couldn't stay idle, and as soon as the convoy stopped, he said a word to Shen Rouning and led the two of them to walk around the town. This town is very close to the capital, so naturally there will be no danger. Shen Rouning didn't restrain him either.

It's just that she freshened up a little, and Chen Houqi, who rushed out of the door, actually came back, with a little different color on her face, and said to Shen Rouning: "Cousin A Ning, guess who I met just now?" ”

Shen Rou was stunned for a moment. Think about it, it's not that far from the capital. With a smile, he said casually: "Did Cousin Qi meet someone you know?" Why didn't you talk for a moment and come back so soon? ”

Chen Houqi shook his head a little strangely: "Cousin, someone wants to see you." ”

Shen Rou was stunned. "Who is it?" he asked. ”

"Pingwu Hou Shizi." Chen Houqi and Qi Chengcheng are several years apart. Not acquainted. He knew that Shen Rouning had a friendship with Qi Yuanyuan...... But what did Qi Qingcheng do when he came to Shen Rouning? Is it because of the late Qi Yuanyuan?

"Where is he?" Shen Rouning asked.

"It's right outside." Chen Houqi opened the door of the elegant room. Soon knocked on the door again and led a person in, it was Qi Chengcheng.

Shen Rouning stood up. Bend down and salute.

Qi Qingcheng had a thick beard, and he was a little tired between his eyebrows and eyes, but most of his face was covered by hair, and 7 he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. He looked at Shen Rouning and saw that he was so serious that he was distracted.

"Shizi?" Shen Rouning broke the silence softly.

"I'm sorry." Qi Qingcheng came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, and said, "When I saw Miss Shen, I thought of Yuanyuan again. ”

Shen Rouning was also a little uncomfortable, pursed her lips, and asked softly, "Yuanyuan, she ......" At this time, Qi Yuanyuan's Dharma should not be over yet.

She really should have paid a respect.

"When the ritual is done, the coffin will be sent back to the hometown for burial." Qi Qingcheng looked at Shen Rouning and said, "Miss Shen also wants to return to her hometown?" I felt that asking such words seemed to be a bit unfortunate to Shen Rouning, so I said again: "I want to ask, is the round painting a gift from Miss Shen?" ”

Shen Rou Ning hesitated slightly, then nodded.

Qi Qingcheng showed such a look, and after a while, he hesitated, and stood there looking at Shen Rouning, his eyes flickering, and he didn't speak again.

"Shizi, please sit down and talk." Shen Rouning asked. He said to Chen Houqi again: "Cousin Qi, let the store change another pot of tea." ”

Qi Qingcheng waved his hand to stop: "Don't bother. I said a few words to Miss Shen, and I was about to leave. ”

Chen Houqi looked at the two of them, and slowly went into the distance, pretending to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, but he did not leave this private room.

"But the prince has something to ask?" Shen Rou stared at Qi Qingcheng and asked softly.

Qi Qingcheng nodded and shook his head, the bitterness in his eyes was even worse, and he sighed lightly: "To be honest, I don't know what to ask Miss Shen, and I don't know where to start. I was at a loss as to what had happened so suddenly, and when I asked my father and mother, they were mysterious and nervous, and refused to tell me the slightest. ”

The daughter who has always loved her died suddenly, and Ping Wuhou and his wife were more angry and frightened than grief, which made Qi Qingcheng feel very strange? And as the son of Pingwu Hou, the only son of their husband and wife, and the future heir of the Hou Mansion, he opened his mouth to ask questions, but no one answered him!

He walked in his own home, beside his family, but he felt like a deaf and blind man, completely excluded from everyone, and a stranger! He borrowed the painting given by Shen Rouning, and only then did he vaguely find out that his parents actually had a deep hatred for Shen Rouning, as if they blamed Shen Rouning for Qi Yuanyuan's death!

But how is this possible?

Shen Rouning is nothing more than ...... A little girl! How could she be the murderer who killed Qi Yuanyuan!

Qi Qingcheng didn't believe it, but he also realized that Shen Rouning should be a clue.

He couldn't be ignorant of his sister's death, about the secrets of his family. He was going to wait for the completion of the ritual for Qi Yuanyuan before looking for Shen Rouning, but suddenly heard that Shen Rouning was leaving Beijing, so he came over.

At this time, he sat in front of Shen Rouning...... But as he said, there was no way to ask.

"Before, the Holy Will was suddenly drafted, just after my mother went to the Hou Mansion to see you...... This made Qi Yuanyuan know that he was seriously ill, and he had been mentally deficient and had no recovery. One day, she suddenly asked me, if she entered the palace, would it be good? If she enters the palace, she doesn't have to be an old girl...... Moreover, there are many imperial doctors in the palace, and the medicinal materials are good, which can be regarded as good for her body......"

"I was shocked by her sudden question for a long time, and when I saw that she seemed to be moved, I persuaded her for a while, and analyzed the pros and cons." Qi Tingcheng recalled that at that time, he was mostly persuading Qi Yuanyuan that it was difficult to pass the draft, in fact, he also felt in his heart that if Qi Yuanyuan could enter the palace to be a master and a lady who was not too big and not too small to enjoy wealth and prosperity, it would actually be good......
