Muling Palace

When night fell, Shu Rusheng left his grandmother in the house when he returned home, and the rest was sent outside. Mama went to light the candle, watched Shu Rusheng pick up the pearl brought from the palace, looked at the pendant on the pearl, and said: "Fortunately, the pearl was broken yesterday, and the slave still wants to give you another one. Look at this pendant, which has a pattern of cypress on it. ”

Shu Rusheng looked at the pearl and said, "Don't hide it from Mama, this is what the king rewarded me." ”

Mama knew that Ling Hengyi was the most important brother in her heart to Shu Rusheng like Shu Yi and Qi Liansheng, so she said: "Bai is evergreen in winter and summer, and Ling Han does not wither." The implication is health and longevity, and the king also hopes that you will be healthy, and Miss will stop ruining your body. ”

Shu Rusheng touched the pendant, glanced at Mama, showed a smile that had been in the news for a while, and said: "Concubine Shu also told me this, Mama I want to go to see my sister tomorrow, I am also tired tonight, serve me to sleep." ”

After hearing her words, Mama got up and helped her to the bed.

Mama put Shu Rusheng to sleep, only then blew out the candle and walked outside, only to close the door when she saw Wang Yijun, who had not come back for nearly a month, walking, she held the tray and waited for Wang Yijun to come before saluting and said, "I've seen the prince." ”

Wang Yijun nodded, and was about to push the door in, but Mama stopped her: "Miss has been unable to sleep these days, and she went to bed early today." ”

Wang Yijun heard Mama say this, and was about to leave. When he turned around, he saw the loose beads on Mama's tray, and he remembered correctly, it was the bead that was given to Shu Rusheng. When the mother saw that he was looking at the beads on the plate, she said, "Some of them are broken, and many of them cannot be found." The young lady asked the slave to collect it first, and then go to the market one day to find a few more. ”

Wang Yijun looked at Mama's indifferent expression, and turned to leave. Mama looked at the figure he walked towards and felt a chill in her heart. If you don't come early, you won't come late, and you won't come back until Shu Rusheng is completely fine. has a face like nothing happened, which is really chilling.

The next day, Shu Rusheng got up before dawn, and Mama came into the house with a basin of water when it was dark, and saw Shu Rusheng lighting a candle by herself, so she stepped forward and said, "Miss has everything ready, change clothes, and make up well." You can go, go early. ”

Shu Rusheng nodded, looking at the sky before dawn. When Shu Rusheng was all right, Mama took her out of the house, and the carriage was ready.

No, when it comes to the place where Shu Rusheng wants to come. Mama helped her off the horse, still carrying the basket in her hand. Shu Rusheng walked with her to a tombstone, and Mama took a water bag from the basket and gave it to her, and she poured out the water on the paper silk and cleaned the tombstone for her. Mama was lighting the candle when she heard a voice behind her say, "You came so early?" ”

When Shu Rusheng and Mama turned around when they heard the voice, they only looked at Qi Liansheng, who was also carrying a basket, walking over, Shu Rusheng got up and said, "Why did my brother come at this time?" ”

Qi Liansheng handed the basket to Mama, looked at the tombstone and said, "Today is the eldest sister's sacrifice day, our Ling Dynasty has always liked the morning sacrifice, the eldest sister can see the two of us here." ”

Shu Rusheng also looked at the tombstone, nodded and said, "Yes, the eldest sister should be very happy." Few people remember her anymore, but we are still there. ”

Mama went to help light the incense candles brought by Qi Liansheng, Shu Rusheng and Qi Liansheng worked together to clean up the weeds around the tombstone, and then sat and chatted, Shu Rusheng said first: "Concubine Shu turned out to be a young lady saved by me and my eldest sister, and I was fortunate to have her and you yesterday, but she recognized me." ”

Qi Liansheng looked at him and said, "Ya'er, have you ever thought that you can't hide it for a long time?" ”

Shu Rusheng nodded, and said with a lot of concern: "I know, but I can hide it for as long as I can." No matter how much I suffered, I wanted to hide it. Didn't my brother and cousin support me all the time? ”

Qi Liansheng couldn't answer for a while, although they didn't break it, it was because they respected her. They watched the sunrise together before leaving.

Muling Palace

When Shu Rusheng came back, she didn't see that others knew that she had gone out, she was reading a book in the house by herself, holding a new pearl from Ling Hengyi in her hand. Mama went into the house and lit incense, looked at Shu Rusheng as before, and didn't ask Wang Yijun about returning home. Her face was not as straight as she had been a few days ago, and she was much more relieved.

After a long time, Mama took a piece of silk from outside and gave it to Shu Rusheng. Shu Rusheng put down the book and said, "Bring me the case I drew and see if it is worthy of silk?" ”

Mama nodded and went to take the case, and said to the silk: "Yes, you see that this pomegranate and grape seeds originally mean many children, and the mother will like it." ”

Shu Rusheng nodded and said, "Well, I also think Concubine Shu will like it." ”

Mama went and brought a needle and thread, helped her put the case on the silk and framed it in the embroidery frame, and then handed it to her. When Shu Rusheng was working on needlework, he only heard the sound of a servant saluting outside the door, and he didn't see Wang Yijun walking in front of him. She didn't have the enthusiasm she had before, but she also got up and saluted and said, "I've seen the prince." ”

Wang Yijun put his hands behind his back, similar to what he was holding. It's just that Shu Rusheng didn't pay attention to him, so he didn't see it. He looked at Shu Rusheng embroidering something, and saw a string of beads on the table, which was a little familiar. He said: "Recently, the military affairs have been busy, and I have no time to take care of the palace, so the affairs of the palace will be handed over to the princess. ”

Shu Rusheng didn't say anything, only answered yes. Wang Yijun looked around and walked out, he walked back to his study and put the things that were originally going to be given to Shu Rusheng on the table, while he sat down.

He closed his eyes, thinking that he had just seen the string of beads in Shu Rusheng's room, which he had seen in Lin Zhenguo's hands. He recalled that it was a pearl that was paid tribute to the country, and he heard that it was the Buddha who had opened the light and was worth a fortune. He couldn't figure out why it was on Shu Rusheng's body, but the one he gave her was broken. He thought back to the time when Ling Hengyi had been hovering around Shu Rusheng, and the recent rumors made him have to believe it.

Zhang's house

Princess Taichang recently heard about Shu Rusheng's rumors, although she was skeptical, she had to believe the reason. Every time she went to find Shu Rusheng, she always felt that Shu Rusheng had lost her previous smile and had changed as if she had changed as a person. In addition, she heard that her mother was furious because of this, so she didn't go to Muling Wangfu anymore.

The eldest princess of Lingshuang appeared in front of her as if she was going out, and she went up and said, "Lingshuang, where are you going?" ”

The eldest princess of Lingshuang looked at the eldest princess and said, "Lingshuang is going to Muling Palace, looking for Rusheng?" ”

"What are you looking for her for?"

The eldest princess of Lingshuang knew that the eldest princess cherished Shu Rusheng as much as she cherished Qi Anya, but what she said surprised her. She was puzzled and said: "I know that Rusheng has not felt good recently, so I will go and see her when I have time." ”

"Do you believe those rumors are false?"

The eldest princess of Lingshuang didn't think much about it, and said with a firm look: "Of course, how could Rusheng do such a thing, even if he and the imperial brother have something, then he won't marry King Mu Ling." ”

"But people's hearts will change, and now she is avoided everywhere she goes, so why do you bother?"

The eldest princess of Lingshuang was a little stunned, she didn't know that these words would come out of her mouth, she shook her head and said, "Auntie, how can you say such a thing. When Rusheng takes care of you, she does her best. Her family has gone back to Jingzhou, and we are her family. Lian Liansheng tried his best to help her, but what about you, if it weren't for you, how could she know King Mu Ling and the imperial brother. ”

The eldest princess was a little confused now, but she couldn't say anything, so she was silent for a while.

The eldest princess of Lingshuang continued: "Auntie, you can not see her and not help her. But I can't, I asked her to take care of you in the first place. I have to go see her today, and no matter what my aunt says, I will believe that she is innocent. ”

Muling Palace, Shanglin.

Shu Rusheng concentrated on embroidering the case and did not disturb her at all. Mama walked in, came to her and said, "Miss, the eldest princess of Lingshuang has come to visit you. ”

She raised her head suddenly, the eldest princess of Lingshuang had always been worshipping the Buddha, and she rarely went out of the house. She put down the show case and walked out of the house with the pearl stick. Seeing that she also happened to be admitted to the hospital, the two looked at each other and smiled and came together. The eldest princess of Lingshuang saw that Shu Rusheng's face was not as good as before, helped her to sit down at a stone table, and said, "I'm sorry, I just heard those news." ”

Shu Rusheng knew what she was talking about, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I know you will believe that I am innocent with the king." ”

The eldest princess of Lingshuang soothed: "Yes, if you don't believe it and think that I am here to ridicule you, we will no longer be friends." ”

She added, "However, you should also pay attention to your body. When I meet King Mu Ling, I will talk about him well. When I handed you over to him, he treated you like this, and his face changed a lot, and he worked a lot. ”

Shu Rusheng looked at the eldest princess of Lingshuang, she never understood why she didn't want to marry anyone for the rest of her life, and she was only dedicated to worshipping the Buddha. Shaking his head and said, "No, if Rusheng hasn't done it, he hasn't done it, and I'm doing well now, don't worry about me." ”

Dark Fragrance brought the tea, and the eldest princess of Lingshuang just looked at her, thinking about what the eldest princess said just now, and didn't bother to pay attention to it. said to Shu Rusheng: "Okay, listen to you." Mama, if your young lady has any grievances, or unhappiness, or being bullied, she will come to tell me, although I can't speak, but I'm the eldest princess, right? ”

Shu Rusheng was a little puzzled why she ordered it to be Mama instead of Dark Incense, and Mama said after listening to the blessing ceremony: "Don't worry, Miss's safety is guarded with your life, so you can put 10,000 to your heart." ”

The eldest princess of Lingshuang nodded and said, "Of course I don't worry, you all go and get busy, I'll talk to your young lady." ”

The crowd must have dispersed, and they chatted and laughed.
