The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, although they did not say anything, but at the same time they knew in their hearts: they both knew that the other person knew who they were thinking.

An urgent letter was written in an instant.

"Husband, sometimes I always think that your Shen family is really ......" Mo Shi was rarely short of words, and finally gave up and sighed, "She doesn't know you, but you are worried about her, she hates the Shen family to the core, but she carries the burden for the Shen family." ”

Shen He had never seen Shen Tingnian, but he knew all the things about her, and Shen Tingnian didn't know anything about him, not only him, but all the people of the Shen Sect, every one of them could see her, but she could only see herself.

"Actually, I doubted it two years ago." When it came to Shen Tingnian, Shen He had mixed feelings, if it weren't for the dying death of the previous head of the family, they would never be optimistic about her.

Shen Tingnian has a look all day long, "The sun and the moon are long in the Guanghan Palace, and there is no self and impermanence in the world." ”。

It's very world-weary, and it's very long-lived.

"But that day, the prince summoned me to the palace and asked me what year she came to the capital."

Shen He was shocked at that time, he actually heard the long-lost name from the prince's mouth.

"I still remember that day when you came home, you couldn't sleep all night with excitement," Mo's smiled, "I haven't seen you so happy in many years." ”

Shen He also smiled, he stood up, took another piece of paper, and waved it with pen and ink at his fingertips, and the next line of the book:

"Ten thousand holy books have been read, just waiting for one day to unfold their ambitions."

###

"Niangniang, this time I will go back to Beijing - I'm afraid it will be uneasy."

Min Yun lifted the half-rolled curtains for her, and the wind that blew in swept away Shen Tingnian's drowsiness.

"There is also a way to live without restlessness." Shen Tingnian motioned for her to dispose of the letter she received, and then, she rubbed the corners of her forehead, "I don't know why, I've always been very tired lately. ”

"Mother, since you hit the road, you do have some sleepiness." Zhiya put the slippery flop over her shoulders, "Do you want to take a pulse?" ”

Shen Tingnian frowned, "I'm going back to the palace soon, don't bother." ”

She couldn't trust the imperial doctor who accompanied her, and she also knew her own body, probably because of the hard work.

After thinking about it carefully, Shen Tingnian instructed the two: "Except for the thing sent by the prince, don't bring anything else back to Changxinyuan." ”

This is to dispose of all the things outside the palace, along with the clothes of this trip.

"Yes."

Min Yun and Zhiya responded together, and then they were busy.

Shen Tingnian couldn't hold it and lay back on the soft couch, and after a while, he saw Zhiya approaching with a box and putting it under Shen Tingnian's nose.

She reached out and flicked the lock, but she didn't intend to open it, but Zhiya heard the movement and turned back to open the lid for her, revealing the contents of the box.

Pu Yangxu gave her a consolation gift for the distress of Lanbao Lake, and she would not be stingy, and the headdress inlaid with Lanbao was phoenix-shaped, just looking at it, it was very expensive, and the style was also good-looking.

Shen Tingnian looked through the blue treasure hairpin, but what she remembered was the murderous machine hidden in the shadows, if it weren't for the foreboding at the first moment when Pu Yangxu left, she quickly left the shipyard——— and would be seriously disabled if she was not killed by the explosion, the person who did this thing may not know that she Shen Tingnian is the person who is not afraid of death and is the least afraid of war.

The journey back to Beijing was as fast as an arrow, and they arrived in August when the osmanthus was fragrant.

As soon as the carriage entered the palace gate, the fireworks of the people were quickly dispersed by the heavenly style.

The time when the prince returned to the palace happened to be after the mid-year festival in the palace was completed, and there was nothing else to do, he was free, and he got out of the car and went straight to worship Emperor Renwu.

And Shen Tingnian went to see the crown princess Zhao Jingyi by herself, compared to her who went out for more than half a year, the days of other palace concubines are no different from confinement, the queen has already established the rule of keeping filial piety for one year, no one can serve the bed, and the palace concubines who serve people in Israel have nothing to do, and they are about to get sick.

Zhao Jingyi led the female officials to check the East Palace, one to check whether there were contraband, the second to check whether there were any violations, and the third to check whether there were any people who were not registered in the palace.

"See the princess."

Shen Tingnian bowed, and Zhiya and Min Yun bowed.

I haven't seen her for half a year, Zhao Jingyi stood on the palace road and was stunned, and stepped forward to let her get up, "It's good to be back." ”

"Lao Niangniang remembers." Shen Tingnian got up and distanced themselves a little, "The concubine is covered in dust, please forgive me." ”

In terms of rules, Shen Tingnian is blameless, and she has always kept her duty as a concubine as a wife, although she is not close, she is absolutely passable in face, and she is exemplary in the homes of ordinary people.

Zhao Jingyi returned to her calm and dignified past, and said to her: "The carriage and horses are tired, it is really hard, you go back to freshen up and rest." ”

Shen Tingnian's gaze swept over the female officer behind her, and said: "Xie Niangniang is compassionate, since Niangniang is responsible, naturally she can't delay." The concubine let them open the door to greet them. ”

She turned around and told Min Yun to ask Mama Liu to open the courtyard door, and let everyone in Changxin Garden gather in the front yard.

Zhao Jingyi has been managing the East Palace for a long time, and rarely comes forward in person, and today the teacher is moving, which has already caused a lot of discussions, but no one dares to disobey on the surface, all because she is very valued by the queen, and it was not very obvious before, and now the queen is in charge of the harem, and has assigned a lot of things to Zhao Jingyi to do, one has a heart to cultivate, the other has excellent performance, gets along naturally and agreeably, and has put a lot of power to her.

The distribution of power in the inner court of the entire palace is very clear, the queen is in charge of the six palaces and thirteen divisions, and basically all the female officials are under her jurisdiction, but the inner provincial government is in the hands of the prince, in other words, the financial power of the inner court is in the hands of the prince.

As for Emperor Kang'an, he doesn't care about anything on the surface, and he mixes everything, and whatever the favored concubine asks him for, it basically works, but there is just one more agenda, waiting for the queen and the prince to agree.

Shen Tingnian stood beside Zhao Jingyi, there were a group of people kneeling in the courtyard, and the female officials led the two palace maids and four eunuchs to disperse to inspect all parts of Changxin Garden.

When the tea came up, Zhao Jingyi sat down and slowly dialed the tea leaves floating in the cup, she didn't drink it, and after a while, she spoke: "Today, I came to check everywhere on the order of the queen, and the palace ban was serious. ”

"The concubines in charge of each palace will go to Kunning Palace every seven days from now on to listen to training, and the rest of the female dependents will take the school palace model and palace etiquette every three days...... "Inner court education has always been something that newcomers who have just entered the palace want to learn, and now it has affected all the harem women, Shen Tingnian got the news in advance, knew that it was inevitable, and knew very well that she was condemned as the culprit, this trick was to make her the target of the public.

"Each palace selects an excellent teaching grandmother to serve as the responsibility of teaching and learning in each palace, so that the upper and lower levels are effective, abide by the rules and regulations, and abide by the duties...... This is the virtue that a harem woman should have. ”

If you want to say that you are not impatient, it is impossible, Shen Tingnian takes care of his demeanor, and he looks good when he stands, the more uncomfortable he is, the calmer his complexion is.

Half an hour later, Zhao Jingyi and his party went to the next place.

Shen Tingnian was so tired that he didn't want to move.

Shen Tingnian waved her hand and signaled everyone to disperse, at this moment she didn't have the heart and strength to explain their words.

Zhao Jingyi was quite displeased with herself, Shen Tingnian was really a little surprised, what made her change like this? Things to do at Lake Blaupunk...... Could it be her?

Before she could sort out the current situation in the palace, she ushered in the first training of the inner court.

In the queen's Kunning Palace, large and small concubines sat together, each showing a standard smile, but in the smile that was more beautiful than flowers, there was no true meaning, it was mostly a ridicule with a gun and a stick, you come and go.

Shen Ting's year is not too late, sitting in a corner with rules and regulations, and An'an is divided.

But as soon as she appeared, she was like a lamp on her head, and she had to look at those who knew it, and she was also grateful that she was always expressionless, even if all kinds of eyes could thin her skin, she could still maintain a dignified demeanor.

There are too many women in Emperor Kang'an, but there are not many who can come to listen to the training that have been brushed by the queen, and they need to be the concubines of the palace who are virtuous, and in addition to Shen Tingnian, the crown prince who came with the princess in the east palace is Shen Tingnian, only the prince Chongyi Ye Shi and the prince Chongrong Chen Yuyi.

Ye Shizheng and Chen Yuyi whispered, and when they saw Shen Tingnian turning around and saying hello to her, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, both of them had lost a lot of weight, especially Chen Chongrong, whose chin was sharpened, and his eyes were very big abruptly, and when he smiled timidly and softly, it was particularly pitiful.

Shen Tingnian woke up yesterday and the first thing he called Mama Liu to ask about the big and small things that happened in each palace after she left the palace, which mentioned that Chen Chongrong's previous illness was delayed until the end of spring this year, and he finally got better, but he didn't move back to the East Palace until the summer, looking at the thin and weak Chen Yuyi, Shen Tingnian remembered Wei Chuyun...... The taste is complicated for a while, and if Pu Yangxu sees her, he will feel distressed.

probably knew that Shen Tingnian was cold and not easy to talk to, and the two didn't talk to each other again after they turned around.

"It's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye, and the palace is busy with harem chores all day long, and I haven't talked to everyone for a while. Is the tea you drink here still satisfying? The queen picked up the teacup and seemed to sigh a little, "Yesterday, the servants of the provincial government said that this is a new tea that has just entered the palace, if it is like your heart, you will take some back and taste it later." ”

As soon as she said this, all the women in the room nodded in agreement, and the words of praise were better than the other, and only after sitting for a cup of tea, Shen Tingnian probably distinguished the four main factions, those who were attached to the queen, those who were attached to the Yang family's concubines, those who were not dependent on the holy grace, and many who were low-key and did not speak, most of them had the grace of the emperor's heirs and were tepid, and a very few of them appeared by virtue of their qualifications...... At the end of the day, it's a group of women who have been fighting around a man for decades.

In fact, there is a more cruel division, the young and the old, the former are those who are full of energy and are full of optimism and fighting spirit in life, and the latter are some who don't even bother to talk to others.

Shen Tingnian took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but want to laugh, he seemed to be too lazy to talk to people.

"Is the tea delicious?" A kind-faced little concubine next door asked her sideways.

Shen Tingnian didn't plan to answer the conversation, because she was sticking out her ears to listen to the two concubines with a good relationship above the oblique talk, these two people are a little different from others, they have been in the palace for more than ten years, they are not half envious and jealous of the favored, and they are not deliberately flattering to those high-ranking concubines, it seems that they only want to live in peace.

The content of the chat is also quite interesting, Shen Tingnian can perceive their true happiness from the heart, which is amazing, there is such a friendship in the harem......

After a moment of silence, she looked up and found that the little concubine was still looking at her.
