The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a moment, and Xia Yuxuan was slightly stunned.

Xia Nianyu also covered her mouth, her eyes flashed with surprise, what did she find. The two looked at each other, closed their eyes in tacit understanding, and the Lord was ready to sleep, and the corners of their mouths rose.

The bright moonlight sprinkled the earth coldly, and the sound of frogs was endless, it was a good night's sleep.

Going around and around, a month passed abruptly, Zhang Minru couldn't help but sigh that she had been out of the palace for more than a month, and she was idle in the backyard all day, and she didn't know what to call a muddy life.

Zhang Chenyue and others sneered at her every day, wishing to belittle her to the dust.

Zhang Shangshu warned them not to be rude to the eldest sister, and he didn't say anything disrespectful on the surface, and he didn't know how many dirty words he said behind his back to block Zhang Minru's heart.

She was determined to break off her old way of life like a knife and water, and wanted to enter the academy to enrich her life.

After Ji Qiang released the concubines from the palace, she also paid attention to the days after they left the palace. As soon as she heard that Zhang Minru wanted to go to the academy, she immediately sent someone to take her to the palace.

Zhang Minru naturally panicked when she heard the queen's summons, for fear that something would happen to her.

Along the way, Zhang Minru couldn't help but give up, and her white jade hands couldn't stop trembling. Stepping into the palace gate again, looking at the palace with red walls and green tiles around it refracting colorful light in the sun, everything was not so illusory. It's like a dream, and it still hurts to wake up for a long time.

Although Xia Jingnian's feelings are not something that can be let go, I think that I once lived in a small palace, dressed up at sunrise every day, freshened up at moonrise, and repeated the same thing every day: waiting for someone who can never wait.

And this waiting, with his own youth as a bet. It's too expensive, the stakes are high and there's never a chance of a turnaround. Finally, as she got closer and entered, she passed by the courtyard where she had once lived.

It was as if she saw herself again who was trapped in a cage of gold and jade, and could never get out. The minions had already been cut off, and they could only scream and watch their fingertips bleed but could not do anything.

She is very satisfied with the status quo for her ability to live freely and make her own decisions about her own life, except for the ridicule and trickery of the open and secret battles in the backyard, everything is the best arrangement.

The glittering palace in front of him is even brighter and dazzling under the sunlight. Zhang Minru knows that in this most beautiful palace, there is a woman he loves most in his heart who will never be forgotten.

As soon as Zhang Minru entered the palace, he saw the noble and beautiful woman sitting on a high seat, showing a friendly and kind smile at her.

Ji Qiang even got up in person and stepped forward to greet Zhang Minru, which flattered Zhang Minru.

Zhang Minru bowed generously: "The courtiers have seen the mother. ”

"Between you and me, you don't have to make this big gift." Ji Qiang smiled lightly, but sighed slightly in her heart.

Zhang Minru insisted, and she smiled: "Although this is the case, the etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

Ji Qiang nodded, took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that you want to go to the academy to study, there is a famous post here in the palace, you can just take it and report it." ”

"Lao Niangniang is bothered." Zhang Minru was surprised and happily took it.

Ji Qiang sighed slightly: "This palace knows your situation after leaving the palace, and in the dark, this is also promoted by this palace, and I really feel a little guilty in my heart." ”

Zhang Minru on the side looked at Ji Qiang's sincerity and guilt, and the resentment that she couldn't retreat from in her heart was also a little less.

"The courtiers thanked the queen, the mother is really kind-hearted, the courtiers want to come, and finally know that the emperor has been fond of the mother for many years. Niangniang's tolerance, generosity, and kindness are rarely matched in the world. Zhang Minru was so moved that she got up, bowed slightly, and thanked from the bottom of her heart.

At the same time, in her heart, the affection for Xia Jingnian that she couldn't let go seemed to have drifted away with Ji Qiang's tolerance and generosity......

"When you get home, will everything be okay?" Ji Qiang asked softly.

"Thank you for your concern, everything is fine with the courtier." Zhang Minru said without thinking, her eyes flashing slightly.

"Eh, it's not just food, clothing, housing and transportation, but there are people in the house who don't want to see you and treat you coldly?" Ji Qiang is most worried that they will not be treated by their families after leaving the palace, although they are all from rich and noble families, and there must be a shortage of food and clothing, but the hearts of those who have the heart to ridicule are unpredictable.

Hearing this, Zhang Minru remembered the white eyes and embarrassment of several sisters in the backyard, and her tears seemed to be uncontrollable, and they were about to fall.

She took a deep breath and held back the tears in her eyes.

Zhang Minru sorted out her emotions, pretending to be energetic, and looked at Ji Qiang with sincere eyes: "Niangniang is too worried, my family treats me very well." ”

Seeing this, Ji Qiang didn't know anything, but she didn't expose it to her face, and said with a smile: "If you want to go to the academy to study, why don't you go to the library with the palace to find some books that you like?" ”

"Thank you, mother." Zhang Minru was overjoyed again.

There are three floors in the library pavilion, only the emperor and queen can enter on weekdays, Zhang Minru is also the first time to go, and he doesn't know where to put it, and the towering bookshelves are full of books.

Her eyes lit up as she began to select the books she wanted to read.

An hour and a half later,

After the two of them left the library pavilion, they looked up and saw that it was getting late, and the sun was slanting in the west.

Seeing this, Zhang Minru was about to say goodbye, Ji Qiang said: "Let's eat dinner in the palace, the emperor has to deal with official business today, and the palace is also a person." ”

Zhang Minru felt that it was difficult to refuse, so she no longer refused.

was about to eat, and Leng Xiang came in from outside: "Niangniang, Ye Meiren asks to see." ”

When Ye Meiren entered the hall, she saw Zhang Minru with sharp eyes, and she was a little arrogant in her heart: "It turns out that Sister Zhang is also here." ”

"Now that I'm out of the palace, how can I be called a sister." Zhang Minru smiled and didn't look at her.

Ji Qiang coughed lightly, and Ye Meiren hurriedly said: "The concubine has seen the queen's mother, and she just cared about talking to Sister Zhang, but she forgot about you for a while." ”

"No problem." Ji Qiang waved her hand casually, how could she not know what this Ye beauty was doing here, but she was a little tired today, and she didn't want to pay attention to it.

After Ye Meiren saw Ji Qiang rubbing her eyebrows and going to the inner room to drink tea, she looked at Zhang Minru: "Sister Zhang has had a good time out of the palace, she must have been ridiculed by those concubines and sisters in Shangshu Mansion." ”

Zhang Minru raised her eyes to look at her when she heard this, and smiled indifferently: "It's almost the same as your face." ”

"You." Ye Meiren stared at her with wide eyes, wanting to scold her loudly, but remembering that this was the Fengluan Palace, she didn't dare to make a mistake.

After Zhang Minru rinsed her mouth, she said to her seriously: "Ye Meiren, I advise you to put away your careful thoughts as soon as possible, if it is not yours, it is not yours after all." ”
