Chapter 33: The Lost Beauty
The second prince's rebellion was handled quite low-key, and Concubine Lian, as a concubine who entered the palace, was even more ignored. The ministers of the DPRK and China only knew that the second prince disappeared and has not been heard from since. Those in the know are silent, and those who don't dare to speculate on it.
The ministers would rather spend their time pondering whether His Majesty and the Empress had quarreled before returning alone, rather than wading into the troubled waters of the matter of the Second Prince. Now, the queen is back, and she is as loving as ever with Her Majesty. After being missing for many days, it was once rumored that Shen Yan, the seventh prince who had been killed in battle, actually appeared together, which made everyone stunned.
Shen Li personally killed the eldest prince Shen Yao in Lancheng, and now he has secretly disposed of the second prince Shen Zhi, whose ruthless nature can be seen. Since ancient times, kings have been ruthless, and Shen Li and Su Moxie of the Snow Country are actually the same kind of people in their bones. can only sigh that God blessed Daming, and forced Mu Yan and Shen Yan to appear in his life trajectory. These two existences like pure land have warmed Shen Li's cold winter for decades.
The ministers didn't know why, they just thought that the queen's mother had lost her anger and returned to Beijing. Your Majesty's murderous aura has finally eased a lot in recent days. Shen Li's blindness is still hidden from everyone. Except for the person who read the excerpt in the imperial study and changed to Mu Yan, the rest did not change.
A week after the smooth days, the seventh prince Shen Yan entered the palace for a visit. Send away the annoying guards, the old-fashioned old mama, the seventh prince went straight to the harem, it was difficult to do a guard, which gave the mama palace maids a headache.
Finally, when he came to Weiyang Palace, Hongluan saw him at a glance and said happily: "Seventh Master, why are you here?"
Shen Yan waved his hand and shrugged his shoulders, and sighed helplessly: "I haven't come back for a long time, this stable is getting less and less fun." I was bored in the house, so I thought about coming over to talk to the wood to relieve my boredom. ”
Hongluan grinned, "The seventh master hasn't returned to the house for so long, are the people in the house happy?"
"Well, it's broken, but unfortunately it's not happy, it's frightened. ”
Shen Yan nodded, and said lazily without smiling: "You don't know, those subordinates in my house saw me, and they all looked like they had seen ghosts." Some of the maids were scared and cried, and Uncle Wang in the kitchen took out all the garlic. It took me a long time to explain to them that I was a human being, not a ghost. But even so, the maids were still afraid. In the end, I had no choice but to sacrifice my hue and lean over my face to let them touch each of them, which made them believe. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Yan also said indignantly: "Anyway, I treat them well on weekdays, don't say I'm still alive, even if I really turn into a ghost and go back to find them, then I miss them, just go back and see." Is it necessary to be scared like that? Am I going to eat them or something? It really hurts my heart. ”
Hongluan laughed breathlessly, since he knew this seventh prince, he had always known that this master was a living treasure, and he wanted to devote himself to cultivating the third master after the summer, probably hoping that his son could live as free as he is now. Not everyone wants to be the emperor, and the Seventh Master is the best example. Of course, this is also thanks to his great mother.
"By the way, what about the wooden man, is he in the house?"
After talking about it, Shen Yan asked where Mu Yan was. Hongluan shook his head and said truthfully: "Niangniang is not here, I am probably accompanying Your Majesty in the imperial study at this time." If you are not in the imperial study, the seventh master will go to the imperial garden to have a look. Anyway, they are going around these two places, and the seventh master in the palace is very familiar, so they don't need me to lead the way, right?"
"No, no, you're busy. ”
Shen Yan waved his hand, and as soon as the words fell, the person had already rushed out of Weiyang Palace. Hongluan looked at his departing back until he could no longer see it, and then withdrew his gaze. A naughty little palace maid passed by and quipped: "Sister Hongluan, what are you looking at so fascinating?"
Hongluan was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks instantly burned red, "What nonsense! Aren't I just in a daze, no one is looking!"
"Oh, is it?" The little palace maid leaned her head and looked out, the figure of the seventh master was gone, but the little palace maid had already thought of the words of flirtation.
"How can I look at that person, how does he look like the Seventh Master?"
As soon as the words fell, Hongluan immediately looked up, and half of the figure didn't see it, and immediately knew that he had been deceived. immediately frowned, and said angrily: "Good you dead girl, you dare to lie to me!"
"Haha, sister, don't be angry, I know it's wrong. ”
The little palace maid ran away with a smile, not joking. Hongluan smiled slightly, shook his head, and went to get busy elsewhere.
In fact, who wouldn't love a man like the Seventh Master? But it's because he's too good and too beautiful that he deserves a good girl. Hongluan is very self-aware, not to mention her humble background, since she entered the palace with Mu Yan, she never thought that she would marry someone in this life. She had already made up her mind to serve Mu Yan for the rest of her life. So for the Seventh Prince, although he likes it, but more, I hope he can meet a good girl who he really likes.

Shen Yan went to the imperial study and was told that His Majesty and the queen had gone to the imperial garden. Outsiders don't know, but he, an insider, began to wonder when he heard this. I can't see it, what does it mean to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers?
With a puzzled attitude, he came to the Imperial Garden again. Sure enough, I saw that in the pavilion corridor in the garden, Mu Yan and Shen Li were sitting side by side, and the palace maids around them were all dismissed, only the two of them. From the back, it is really a beautiful picture.
Shen Yan was just about to step forward, but he was stopped by the sudden appearance of Yuluo. has known each other for many years, and in Shen Yan's impression, Yuluo always has an expression of "owe me a lot of money". It's been so many years, and it really hasn't changed at all. He pursed his lips, just about to say something. I heard Mu Yan say not far away: "Ah, I'll take a look." The camellia is in bloom and is beautiful. The orchid next to it is not convinced, and it is quite ostentatious. The cuckoo is quite low-key, and the moon season is as flamboyant as ever. Your Majesty, it's a good thing you can't see it now, otherwise I think you don't want to see me again if you come to the Imperial Garden every day to enjoy the flowers. ”
Shen Li shook his head and smiled, and clasped his fingers with Mu Yan. There was no one else here, and he didn't have to pretend. He simply closed his eyes and smelled the flowers around him.
After Mu Yan came back, he was unusual, and he especially liked to stick to her. She used to be in Weiyang Palace and hardly went out. Three meals a day, go to bed after dark. Never asked where he went, never asked where he was going.
Now, except for the last court, she is almost by her side the rest of the time. Get up with him in the morning and change his clothes. sent him to the court, and he went to the imperial study to wait first. At night, I will go back to Weiyang Palace with him. Ten fingers clasped all the way, ignoring all gossip.
Her behavior like this, I am afraid that rumors have already spread outside. It is speculated that she is afraid of others competing for favor, and even says that she wants to usurp power. But Shen Wei knew that his smoke was actually just trying to be by his side and be his eyes.
