In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother and Yin Chen sat at the dinner table, and the delicacies on the table were ever-changing, but the two of them had no intention of moving chopsticks.

"If the mourning family doesn't come back, will the emperor forget about this mother?"

"Where did Huang Eniang say, even if Huang Eniang didn't come back today, her son would send someone to the national temple to invite. And An, how are you doing? ”

No matter how you say it, it is also Yin Chen's only child, and it is natural for him to care more about it.

"Don't interrupt!" The Queen Mother obviously didn't mean to answer Yin Chen.

"The mourning family asked you, what do you mean to Concubine Lan, why did Taiwei find such a person to enter the palace, I think you know it in your heart. Why, now I don't understand your series of operations at all! ”

Yin Chenxu didn't expect the Queen Mother to say it so bluntly, her brows furrowed unnaturally, and her eyes became a little tired.

"Don't worry about the emperor's mother, her son has his own ideas."

"What can you think?" The Queen Mother disliked the rebellious child in front of her more and more, thinking that the emperor once listened to her everything.

"Emperor, don't forget what happened back then, if it weren't for the mourning family to come forward to help you, would you be able to do it so easily, except for Li Mingjin without leaving a trace!"

Yin Chen was still lowering his head, but when he heard this, his eyes were raised to look at the Queen Mother, who looked like a leopard locking on his prey, and even the Queen Mother couldn't help but tremble.

"When my son was young, he was not as ruthless as the emperor's mother when he started to do things. But now that his son is older, he can also be in charge of the harem. ”

Yin Chen took his gaze back when he said this, and then looked up with a meek and respectful appearance.

"You are old, your son's filial piety will be raised by you one day, and the emperor's mother should also take care of it and take care of it for a long time."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the Queen Mother's reaction, Yin Chen glanced at the dishes on the table in disgust, got up and walked out.

"Don't forget the burden on your shoulders, and then you will take the old path of the first emperor again!"

The Queen Mother shouted in the back with a dumb voice, and Yin Chen stood there when she heard the words, but she didn't reply.

"Why my father was like this back then, and why he got such an ending, the emperor should know it in her heart."

"Emperor!"

No matter what the Queen Mother shouted again, Yin Chen pulled out of the Shoukang Palace, leaving the Queen Mother alone to look at the table full of food, and angrily lifted it clean.

"The queen mother is angry, and now that the emperor is older, you can follow him."

"With him, will you remove the people of the Guo family from the court? What else do you know, you also saw his appearance towards Lan Concubine, I think he really follows the temperament of the first emperor! ”

Ruozhu knew that the Queen Mother was moved, and he didn't dare to say anything when he stood aside.

"Go and call Lu Changzai, send someone to the queen to say that it is boring to mourn the family and return to the palace, and Lu Chang needs to accompany her on weekdays, so she will be grounded."

"Yes."

Besides, Yin Chen left Shoukang Palace and rushed back to the Heart Cultivation Palace. Li Shenlan estimated that the time was about the same, and she waited at the door early in the morning, and when she saw Yin Chen's royal come, she hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down.

"Get up, I told you I don't have to be so formal."

Yin Chen got off the sedan chair and stepped forward to pull Li Shenlan to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the palace people around him had this in their eyes, and they were all busy and scattered outside without disturbing.

"Yesterday, I heard a report from the Ministry of Rites, saying that the Fushui Mountain in the south of the capital is now fragrant with birds and flowers, and it is an excellent place to go."

Whenever the two of them were left alone, Yin Chen hugged Li Shenlan and sat on his lap chatting, like a loving couple in an ordinary family, without the constraints of the palace rules.

"Is Ah Ci talking about the mountains and forests with hot springs? I've heard that at this time of year, the surrounding air is cold and the spring water is warm, and the mountains are full of smoke. ”

After a while, Li Shenlan didn't look so restrained, and the two of them could naturally call each other nicknames when they were alone.

"Do you want to go? I'll let Hou Zhong and them prepare in a while, and we'll leave tomorrow, okay?" ”

"Won't it be too rushed, the ladies of the palace always have to pack up their things......"

Without waiting for Li Shenlan to finish speaking, Yin Chen stopped talking.

"Just the two of us, they stay in the palace."

These words smashed into the rocks and flattened the waves, and instantly stirred up a thousand waves in Li Shenlan's heart. Li Shenlan hurriedly got off the ground and stood in front of Yin Chen upright, begging him to dispel this idea.

"No, the queen is the lord of the six palaces, the mother is the world, the emperor does not take her out of the palace but only takes the concubines, and the people will discuss it."

"Let's go out of the palace in micro-service."

"Your Majesty, this won't work......"

"That's it!" Yin Chen didn't give Li Shenlan a chance to persuade at all, and walked outside with Li Shenlan in his arms. said that he was going to take her to Yuhu to feed the fish, but Li Shenlan couldn't listen to what Li Shenlan said along the way.

In Changle Palace, Concubine Xiang is embroidering with the queen, and the queen has been embroidering the regular clothes for almost two months, and now she is finally going to finish repairing. Even though Concubine Xiang always felt that these jobs were boring, she was also happy for the queen.

"Don't embroider after embroidering, you don't feel bad staring at your eyes every day, my eyes are sour."

The queen looked at Concubine Xiang dotingly, "What you said, if you beat your little aunt, you will learn to be a girl, you don't want to learn, every time your grandmother teaches you, you sneak away to see your uncle and them practice swords." Why are you a daughter's family, if it were a boy, I would just rush to the front line early. ”

Concubine Xiang didn't care about the silk threads that the queen asked her to arrange, but the more they were organized, the more chaotic they became.

"I wish I could go to battle and kill the enemy, you see how boring this day is!"

The two were talking and laughing happily, and the sound of the piano outside walked back and forth, saying that the emperor had decreed that he would take Li Shenlan to Fushui Mountain for a vacation tomorrow.

"What is a single belt? Can't the queen go too? ”

Qin Yin didn't dare to speak, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, she knew that nothing she said now could stop Concubine Xiang from losing her temper.

Sure enough, Concubine Xiang scolded in the next second, and even the silk thread that was easy to sort out fell to the ground.

"Ah Luo, if you don't go, don't go, in the end, the people don't know if they go out on patrol, and they can't see jokes."

"Can you be more aggressive! It's not that you can't quarrel with him! Concubine Xiang can't wait to go to Yin Chen to fight with him now.

The queen was calm on the surface, and the embroidery work on her hands was not relaxed at all. Concubine Xiang stepped forward angrily and snatched the clothes, but she didn't want the two of them to pull like this, and the needle actually pierced the queen's finger.

A drop of blood fell on the regular clothes, and the brocade line was particularly dazzling.

"Zhao Luo!" The queen was really angry this time, but not for the emperor, but because Concubine Xiang broke her regular clothes.

"I ...... Do you hurt. Concubine Xiang squatted down and took the queen's hand and looked at it for a while, and saw that there were still blood beads and hurriedly ordered someone to get the ointment, and she put her finger in her mouth in distress.

But here Concubine Xiang took care of the queen's body, but the queen focused all her attention on her clothes.

"Look at you, I'm going to embroider something here now, it's going to be finished!" The queen shouted angrily, and she lost her dignified appearance at all.

"Don't worry about your clothes!"

Concubine Xiang angrily snatched the clothes and threw them aside, and pressed the queen not to move, and helped her with medicine little by little.

"Does it still hurt?" Concubine Xiang blew cautiously and asked with a frown.

The queen didn't speak, Concubine Xiang thought she was angry with herself, and she looked up and wanted to scold a few words, but she saw tears on the queen's face, crying silently.

"All out." Concubine Xiang whispered and dispersed the people in the palace, and they didn't even leave the sound of the piano.

In the huge palace, only the two concubines and queens were left.

"Wow", the queen cried hysterically, crying out of breath, Concubine Xiang wiped her heart with a handkerchief and felt distressed.

"It's all my fault, I won't fight with you next time. Why don't you stab me? ”

Concubine Xiang thought that the needle hurt her, and persuaded the queen softly, the look of scolding Yin Chen was the same as that of the two of them.

The queen sobbed and shook her head, apparently she wasn't sorry for the needle at all.

Concubine Xiang also understood now, sighed heavily, sat quietly beside the queen, and accompanied her like that......

The next day, the emperor went to Jinghe Palace to pick up Li Shenlan out of the palace.

Because it is not suitable for too many people to be privately patrolled by Weifu, Li Shenlan only took Bang Chun with him, and stayed in Jinghe Palace to take care of the side hall in Xia.

Yesterday afternoon, Li Shenlan went to Changle Palace and knelt down in front of the queen.

For Li Shenlan, the queen treats her like a concubine Xiang is a sister's affection, and it is a great disrespect to the queen to follow the emperor out of the palace like this.

At first, the queen just persuaded Li Shenlan to go back and relieved her that she was fine, but in the end, she collapsed again in front of Li Shenlan and Concubine Xiang.

Li Shenlan remembered the queen's last red eyes and said, "This palace is the queen, and in the eyes of others, she should be a mother in the world, generous and dignified." But how many people in this palace can't help themselves, and sometimes they can't even remember themselves. ”

"Shen Lan, this palace told you these things in the hope that you don't blame yourself, who the emperor favors is something we can't control. Second, this palace likes you as a person, believes in you, and treats you as its own person and says these things. This palace knows that you respect me and will not be spoiled, so I am already very happy. ”

I don't know how long I stayed in Changle Palace that day, or if Xiao Dezi came to pass Li Shenlan to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace for dinner, and then left.

Li Shenlan remembered that the last sentence that the queen said at that time was to wish herself happiness.

I don't know if it's to bless Li Shenlan or to instruct the poor people in the deep palace.

But I have to admit that the queen's words did make Li Shenlan feel a lot less uneasy and worried.

On the way, the two sat in the carriage and looked at the street scene of the capital, chatting happily.

In Fushui Mountain, the mountain forest is as green as jade, the valley is like a green velvet, the river is like flowing gelatin, and the moist air also gives people a crystal-like feeling.

When people look down the mountain, there is a place like white pebbles in the mountains, and the smoke is filled with hot springs in the forest.

Father-in-law Hou cleaned up the surroundings early in the morning, and the weeds on the mountain road were cleaned up. Li Shenlan and the two walked to the residence, which had already been cleaned up by the palace people, and the tea on the table was emitting white smoke. Being here, like a carefree mountain person, carefree.

"Do you like it?"

"I like it."

Li Shenlan really likes it, it feels like going back to the days when she lived in the countryside and the second elder of the Song family. She took a deep breath, the smile on her face hidden.

"It's good if you like it, you're hungry, I'll let you pass the meal, and we'll go hunting in the woods in a while?"

When Li Shenlan heard about hunting, her eyes immediately lit up. Not to mention anything else, although Li Shenlan is not good at shooting bows and arrows, she can play the slingshot very well. Hearing Yin Chen say this, he hurriedly asked Gonggong Hou to prepare a slingshot, and he was also in a hurry to pass the meal.

"Why are you so excited?"

"Concubines like to hunt when they were young, and they followed their father at that time...... When people go to the mountains to hunt, concubines can always catch a rabbit. ”

Li Shenlan realized that she was almost speechless, so she paused to speak, and saw that Yin Chen didn't pay attention, so she continued to say excitedly

"Has Ah Ci ever eaten roast rabbit meat? The wild kind! ”

Yin Chen naturally shook his head, he was born in the palace, he had eaten rabbit meat, and it was also served in the imperial dining room.

"Then you're in for a treat! When it comes to barbecue, the concubine is really a must. ”

The more Li Shenlan spoke, the more excited she became, completely losing her restrained image in the palace. Yin Chen saw it in his eyes, but for some reason he showed a nostalgic look, and his smile gradually enlarged.

"Okay, Concubine Lao Ai will make me a meal for dinner, and I can think about Qingfu well."

As soon as lunch was over, Li Shenlan pulled Yin Chen into the forest.

Walking through the mountains and forests, the more you walk inside, the mist and white veil float softly in the air. The trees stand quietly under the blue sky, welcoming the sun with open arms.

The sunlight shone in like wisps of golden sand, shining through the overlapping branches and leaves, dappled and sprinkled on the grass.

Li Shenlan took a deep breath and breathed in the air with the aroma of fragrant grass with a little greed.

The wild things in the mountains are all arranged by Hou Zhong and them, they are nothing more than rabbits and foxes, and there are no bigger ones, for fear of hurting the two of them.

"I heard that you have been growing up in the countryside since you were a child, and after entering the palace, the harem rules are strict and you have to be held everywhere, so it's hard for you."

Yin Chen's words came to Li Shenlan's heart, and he said that he was also a carefree and casual woman before coming to Beijing.

"But when I met Ah Ci, I felt that there was nothing wrong with entering the palace."

At least if he didn't enter Beijing, his family identity wouldn't have anything to do with Yin Chen, would he?

"Do you really think so......"

Before Yin Chen finished speaking, Li Shenlan suddenly raised his hand to hold the slingshot, and with a whoosh, the stone bullet quickly hit the grass fiercely.

Li Shenlan raised her feet and ran in to find it, and after a while, she lifted the prey, a snow-white rabbit, to Yin Chen.

The rabbit was still breathing, and Li Shenlan held it in her arms and teased it from time to time, and sometimes talked to the rabbit.

"What a cute bunny."

"Then keep it and keep it in the palace?" Yin Chen asked.

Isn't it like this in my daughter's family, it's very loving, and I always want to keep it with me when I get it.

"Don't." Li Shenlan refused simply, which Yin Chen didn't expect. "I still like the taste, it's crunchy and delicious!"

Hearing this, Yin Chen suddenly burst out laughing and couldn't stop laughing for a long time.

The woman in front of her is indeed special.

The two didn't go back until the sun went down, and the palace people had set up a barbecue grill in the courtyard outside the house early.

The moon soon hung in the sky, and countless stars were scattered around it, and the two of them looked at the starry sky while roasting rabbits.

"The stars outside are still beautiful, and the moon is bigger than the palace." Li Shenlan sighed sincerely.

"Silly words, aren't they all the same?"

Li Shenlan shook her head, "The emperor has lived in the palace since he was a child, and the sky he sees is all boxy, where is it like this now, boundless......"

Yin Chen looked up at the sky according to Li Shenlan's words, and there was silence around him, which made people feel stable and beautiful.

The two of them patronized the beautiful food but forgot about the delicacies that were still on the fire, the sparks crackled and roasted the meat, the skin of the meat couldn't stand the heat, it cracked suddenly, and a few drops of oil stars splashed on the back of Li Shenlan's hand.

"Shhh Li Shenlan gasped as she was burned.

"What's wrong!" Hearing this, Yin Chen nervously pulled Li Shenlan's hand, wiped it with a handkerchief, and kept blowing.

"It's okay, it's just that the oil star is scalded, and it will be fine in a while."

"Hou Zhong, go get the scalded ointment!" Yin Chen ignored Li Shenlan, and commanded in a hurried voice.

Li Shenlan wanted to withdraw her hand, but she couldn't move when she was tightly pulled by Yin Chen.

For a moment, time seemed to be forbidden. Li Shenlan quietly looked at her husband in front of her, and gave herself medicine with a nervous expression. I'm afraid of hurting myself, so I blow on my hands and look cautious.

There was a voice in my heart, telling myself in a sweet voice that I would no longer be alone in the future.

"Is it better?" Yin Chen raised his head and asked Li Shenlan softly.

For some reason, at that moment, Li Shenlan seemed to be enchanted, her eyes fell on Yin Chen's worried eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and her body leaned forward uncontrollably.

So, the dragonfly that flew after the rain suddenly landed on the lotus leaf in front of me......
