Shen Yan looked in the direction she was pointing, and sure enough, the woman standing under a grocery store the size of three doors on the other side of the street, her hair was combed through, and her whole body was full of cool and exquisite, it was Mama Ning beside E's side, and she was talking to the man dressed as the shopkeeper in the door, and then she saw her make a statement of instructions and said a few words, and then walked up to the street.

The people on the street said more and more and said less, Shen Yan and his party were not formally dressed, and they were not conspicuous in the cars and horses. Mama Ning didn't expect that there would be people who knew her here, so she found a carriage at the corner of the street and drove away.

Shen Yanhu said suspiciously: "It's strange, our house is half a city away from here, what is she doing here?" ”

Fu Niang said: "Could it be a visit to relatives?" ”

"Impossible." Haitang said, "There is no one in Mama Ning's house, a total of one of her nieces and granddaughters Xiuqin are dead, and I have never heard her say that there are relatives for so many years, looking at his appearance is quite familiar with this shopkeeper, it must be a common meeting, if it is a relative, I can't have heard of it." ”

Begonias were bought in small quantities, and they used to walk around in front of the old lady, and they were also very well-informed in the house.

Shen Yan admired her flexible brain, nodded and said, "Let's talk about it when I go home." ”

They walked slowly. Mama Ning took a carriage back to Puji Temple, burned two pillars of incense in front of the Buddha, originally to send a name to the embroidered qin, her hand reached out halfway and took the money back, she planned to go away and fly high, the money had to be saved, and the money given by the E family was enough for her to live for ten days and a half, so why waste it on a dead man.

Here I waited for the carriage purchased by the government to return to the Guogong Mansion. When he entered the door, he squeezed out two tears and reddened his eyes, so he went to E's room and replied wiltedly.

Shen Yan went back to the room, changed his clothes, and made a look at Fu Niang while tying his clothes: "Go to the house with Haitang to see what Mama Ning was doing?" "It's not the person in my room, but since I've bumped into it, I have to ask.

Han Ji changed his clothes and said, "At the moment, our competition with the emperor has not yet come to a conclusion, and King Zheng is still on the way to the Liao Palace, and there is still some time before the transmission over there will be quiet." I'll go to the Emperor's Eldest Son's Mansion first. Save being exploited by Liu Yaze. Come up with something to deal with us. ”

Shen Yan said: "Then you come back to pick me up." ”

"Of course." Han Ji patted her fluffy bun, "Just wait for me." ”

Han Ji went out here, and Fu Niang Begonia came back.

"Grandma, the people on Mrs.'s side said that Mama Ning went to Puji Temple to burn incense."

"Burning incense?" Shen Yan turned around.

Puji Temple is not the same place as Chengnan Old Street at all. If she goes and burns incense. Why is it in that grocery store?

This Mama Ning. Is there a secret?

It's just a subordinate, Shen Yan didn't plan to investigate it deeply, but this is a henchman who has followed the E family for so many years. Besides, there is still E's here, in case it doesn't make E's misunderstand that she wants to stare at her or something, it's very unworthy. But who is she hiding so much? Shen Yan thought about it, and still called Fu Niang: "Go and check what the grocery store is about." ”

Fu Niang nodded.

After arranging it, Shen Yan didn't bother about this matter anymore, Han Ji came back in the evening, and then she went to the Emperor's Eldest Son's Mansion together.

Zhao Jun's mansion is still jointly on duty by the princes of the four national mansions, of course, this is not a long-term solution, so a new group of young and excellent soldiers have been selected recently for intensive training. As for day-to-day defense, the cabinet had already ordered the emperor to transfer 500 men from the central military camp in a semi-coercive nature. The emperor originally wanted to transfer the Yulin army forward, but he couldn't open so many mouths.

Liu Yaze has not made useless struggles recently, a person with a clear mind has this advantage, and he will never drive himself into an embarrassing situation. At present, both sides are waiting for news from the side of King Liao and Prince Lu, so there is a temporary calm, and they can finally live a quiet year.

Zhao Jun and Lu Minglan greeted each other under the corridor of the middle hall, Zhao Jun was wearing the prince's regular clothes, and Lu Minglan was also dressed normally, but the spirits of the two were much more radiant than when they first came out. Shen Yan saw the appearance of them standing side by side under the porch, and then thought about the appearance of King Zheng, who had become the crown prince in his previous life, proudly appearing in front of the ministers in a crown prince robe, it was completely two forms.

Shen Yan saluted them, and Zhao Jun looked at her with a gentle and pleasant gaze, like an elder looking at a likable junior.

Lu Minglan is still a little indifferent, but this indifference makes her more and more dignified and noble. When Zhao Jun and Han Ji walked in front of them to the study, she took Shen Yan to the apse. The two have never officially met in private, but the natural intimacy revealed by her coldness is not disgusting.

In terms of age, she also deserves to be her aunt.

There is a couch on the west side of the hall, and the two kneel facing each other on both sides of the square table, and there are several dried fruits and snacks on the table.

"I made it myself, you can taste it." Lu Minglan stretched out her hand.

Shen Yan thanked him, picked a piece of green bean cake and took a bite, then nodded: "It's fragrant and soft, it should be added with Jiang rice and mint?" ”

Lu Minglan raised her lips, "I didn't expect you to eat it." ”

Although cooking is a skill that women must be good at, Shen Yan is extremely tall and young, so it is reasonable that she doesn't understand it.

Shen Yan said frankly: "Actually, I don't know much about this, but I just like to eat dim sum made of Jiang rice and the taste of mint, so I am very familiar with it." When it comes to cooking, my mother is very good at cooking, and my father always likes to show off my mother's cooking skills in front of friends. ”

The slightly childish words minus her old age of being a wife, Lu Minglan looked at her with a smile for a while, and said with a smile: "Ji'er often goes in and out of the East Palace when he is young, and several of my children like him very much, at that time he was still a young man who would raise his face and walk with his nostrils facing the sky when he saw the palace maid, and now when I see him again, he has already married a wife." ”

There was a casual vicissitudes in her words, and the days when she wanted to come to the cold palace did give people a brand, Shen Yan still remembered what Shen Guanyu told her to inquire, and her sentence "my child" happened to be a wake-up call. She said: "If the little emperor's grandsons are up to now, they must have become adults. ”

Zhao Jun had mentioned these imperial grandsons several times in front of Han Ji and them, and Shen Yan was not deliberately stabbing people's scars.

Lu Minglan's eyebrows slid over, "If you get to now, the eldest is fourteen years old, the second one is twelve years old, and the third one is eight years old." She was silent for a while, and then turned her head to look at Shen Yan, with a hint of love in her eyes: "They all love to eat the dim sum I made, there are no ingredients in Biling Palace, and my hands have been born in recent years, so it's rare that you don't dislike it." ”

Shen Yan picked up a piece of taro cake again and said, "This is a snack full of maternal love, which makes me think of my mother, how can I dislike it?" Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, I think that if Niangniang's children can also taste the pastries made by Niangniang now, they must feel heartfelt happiness no matter where they are. ”

Lu Minglan was slightly stunned.

The corners of Shen Yan's lips raised slightly, and she ate her heart.

Zhao Jun and his wife have never mentioned that they still have children alive, this must be because their position is not stable at the moment, and exposing him too early will only cause trouble, and Shen Yan has no intention of forcing them to hand them over, but the whereabouts of this child, and the person who raised this child for them, must always know clearly.

But she didn't say any more, she wasn't stupid, and she talked too much, but it was easy to be on guard.

After a simple snack and cold dishes, the meal officially began.

Six exquisite dishes for two people, with many colors and fine portions, are very appetizing. With the previous greetings, the two talked more freely.

But Lu Minglan is different from the noble ladies that Shen Yan has contacted in the past, she is the abolished princess of the East Palace who has been in charge of the East Palace for more than ten years, and the rules are bigger than ordinary people, and Han Ji is the first cadre under Zhao Jun, Shen Yan can no longer treat herself as a child as before, in a sense, they will be a superior-subordinate relationship in the future, so this kind of interaction is a little more political.

After the meal, an altar was set up in the garden behind the house to worship, and in addition to King Chen, there were many people who were implicated in this case and died, the ceremony was very simple, but everyone had infinite sincerity.

Shen Yan didn't know what outsiders thought of Zhao Jun and his wife, as a person who was quite close to them, she only felt that there was a natural distance from them, and they always thought about their family and country, for example, Lu Minglan had the courage to die to fulfill Zhao Jun when she was in Biling Palace, but she wasn't sure if it would be like this, if it was her, she might grit her teeth and fight side by side with him until the last moment.

In comparison, her thoughts may be a little selfish, but this is helpless, she never thought that she would give her life for this court, she just wanted to live her life in peace and stability, and she never stood at the height of the monarch to look at the people all over the world, she did not have the sense of responsibility and compassion of the two of them.

In any case, the people of the Great Zhou world once agreed with this abolished prince.

Based on the bait she had to wait to collect the fish after she had dropped earlier, when she left, she found an opportunity to find Luo Ding, the guard sent by Tao Xing to the Emperor's Eldest Son's Mansion, "You keep an eye on Fu Shu these days to see if she goes out of the mansion." If you do, follow me and tell me. ”

Luo Ding's back immediately straightened: "I don't know what grandma wants to investigate?" Do you want a small stinkering? "These people still unconditionally only recognize Han Ji as their master.

Shen Yan hurriedly said: "No, no, just see where she went." ”

She doesn't regard them as enemies, but what should she do close to her?

After two more words, she left.

After returning home, she waited in the house for two days, and there was no news.

She originally thought that Lu Minglan would at least send some food and clothing to their children before the New Year, after all, now that she was out of the palace, and then she thought that as long as she followed secretly, she could at least find out the whereabouts of the child, but she didn't expect her to be indifferent, such a cautious style also made Shen Yan secretly admire.
