As for the Qin State Mansion where Qin Xu was located, he probably didn't know who Shen Rouning was at all, so since Qin Xu was not there, of course no one would appear in the Qin State Mansion. However, Yun Jiu found Shen Rouning through someone before and asked to go with Shen Rouning.

They are Yun's trading house and also transport some goods back to Yueyang, of course, the more people with them, the safer. Shen Rouning was not in a hurry to leave, so she agreed.

When he first left Beijing, Yun Jiu only came to salute and followed behind, and did not participate in Shen Rouning's farewell to the Chen brothers. It wasn't until the convoy drove for two hours and landed in a small town for a short rest that Yun Jiu came back and officially met Shen Rouning.

After many days, he seemed to be taller and no longer thin. His appearance is not particularly handsome, but he is dressed in a light cyan muslin cloth, his face is calm, and there is a faint quiet melancholy between his eyebrows and eyes, which makes people can't help but want to look at him a few more times.

"Yun Jiu has seen the girl." Yun Jiu bowed and was rude, revealing a faint smile.

Shen Rouning avoided it slightly, and said busily: "Yun Shao doesn't have to be polite, please sit down quickly." ”

They had to have a simple hot meal at this station and a little rest before they continued on their way.

"I heard that Yun Shao's silk village is doing very well...... Congratulations on the lack of clouds. Shen Rouning said with a smile.

She had studied paint color matching with Yun Jiu for a period of time, and she was relatively familiar. However, Shen Rouning could feel that this young man who had encountered ups and downs seemed to be deep but not calm in his heart, thinking that he should be thinking about the revenge of killing his father and breaking his family...... It's not that she doesn't think he should put aside his hatred and live well, or accuse him of something. She didn't have such naïve thoughts, but in her heart, she couldn't get too close to him.

It's not like the ease when facing Ji Tong.

"Let the girl take care of it, and the business is okay." Yun Jiu smiled faintly, hiding some of the melancholy between his expressions, put a small box on the table and returned it to Shen Rouning, and said softly: "This is the bonus promised to the girl before, and please don't be too little." ”

"Didn't you say you didn't have to?" Shen Rouning frowned slightly.

"Business is business." Yun Jiu said sincerely: "If Nanyang Commercial Bank knows that the girl didn't get what she deserves, they probably won't take care of the silk village anymore." The girl should know that business in the capital is not easy. ”

Shen Rouning later learned that Ji Tong did not accept the silk village that interfered with Yun Jiu. It's just for Shen Rouning's face. occupies a share, which is counted as the remuneration of Nanyang Commercial Bank to protect Yun's silk village. Even the silk cloth sold to Nanyang by the Nanyang Trading House was not all supplied by Yun's Silk Satin Village. If there was no relationship with Shen Rouning, Ji Tong and they would indeed look down on a small silk village.

Shen Rou thought of this. No more excuses. Motioned to Chao Yan to put the box away.

Yun Jiu exchanged a few more pleasantries. Then he got up and took his leave.

Shen Rouning simply ate some food, and then returned to the carriage to rest. It didn't take long for the convoy to start again.

……

Palace.

The queen is sick.

She exempted the concubines from asking for peace. closed the gate of Kunning Palace, and even the old lady of Wenchangbo Mansion came in person, and she did not summon her. As for the newly favored Liao Concubine, she was even kicked out of Kunning Palace by her!

Concubine Liao knelt in front of the closed gate of Kunning Palace, crying very sadly.

The Queen Mother couldn't see it, so she pointed out Changchun Palace to Concubine Liao and let Concubine Liao settle down.

Concubine Liao's identity is enough to be qualified to hold the throne of the first palace. And Changchun Palace, the distance from the Qinzheng Palace, is also very close! Maybe it was because of shame, even if the queen mother said that she was sick and closed the palace, she went to Kunning Palace every day to ask for peace, and she couldn't get in, so she knelt at the door for half an hour, and then left with great shame and sadness.

The eldest prince and the second prince were originally very annoyed when they heard the news, and even complained about Emperor Qinglong, gritting their teeth with hatred for Liao Manru. But they originally had a good relationship with Liao Manru, but seeing Liao Manru so sad and sad, gradually, her heart softened, but she sympathized with Liao Manru and comforted: "The queen mother will be fine for a while, don't come to kneel again...... When the queen mother has figured it out, you can come and ask for sin. ”

With tears in her eyes, Liao Manru invited the two princes back to Changchun Palace, and began to say sadly: "...... I know that I am not ashamed to embarrass Niangniang and the two Highnesses...... But I just can't control myself, the emperor is so wise and powerful, I ...... I originally planned not to enter the palace again, but I didn't expect the embroidery building to go to the water...... At that time, I wondered, is this just a directive from God? I just think about it, I just ...... There's no way to do it! ”

After saying that, she wept silently.

Old Mrs. Wen Changbo sighed lightly, led the two princes outside, and then spoke: "Now that the matter is now, I can only think about it...... The two highnesses thought that Manru could help Niangniang and the two highnesses to some extent if she stayed in the palace, so they forgave her. ”

The two princes felt uncomfortable, glanced at each other, and nodded with difficulty.

Emperor Qinglong soon learned about the two princes going to Changchun Palace. He sneered, called someone to bring the eldest prince in, and reprimanded: "You are my eldest son, and you will take care of the whole world in the future, what are you doing staring at the harem!" Unpromising! It's just a woman, and it's worth your attention! ”

When the eldest prince saw Concubine Liao again, he began to perform the concubine ceremony.

Aaro Palace.

Concubine Shun raised a new snow-white cat, very lazy, fat, with a gold collar inlaid with ruby and emerald, very docile and pleasing, very much loved by Concubine Shun. Even if it broke the tea cup rewarded by the emperor, Concubine Shun also pleaded for it, and she was not willing to punish it at all.

At this time, the weather was very good, she took the cat to the imperial garden to breathe, and happened to meet Concubine Liao who returned from Kunning Palace. After Concubine Liao saluted, Concubine Shun glanced at the stains on her skirt and said with a smile: "If Concubine Liao continues like this, beware that her knees will hurt." ”

"The mother refuses to forgive the concubine, and the concubine is ......" Concubine Liao was a little tired in her eyes.

She was originally such a bright girl, but after becoming Concubine Liao, she seemed cowardly, and between her eyebrows and eyes, she was always covered with sorrow, which made people feel pitiful and lamentable.

"Alas, Niangniang, she ......" Concubine Shun shook her head lightly and said understandingly: "Actually, how can you blame Sister Liao?" A man like the emperor, which girl's family will not be moved and impressed when she sees it? Back then, the palace just saw the emperor, so it was ...... I can't forget it again. What's more, Liao Manru always comes to the palace without hesitation and always sees him.

Concubine Shun looked at Concubine Liao, her expression was understanding, sympathetic, and a little close, as if she thought of herself when she was young. She gently took care of the cat's hair, and it turned out to be very quiet. (To be continued......)
