The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"There are constant battles at the border, and I am worried about them."

Shang Xi knew that these were just polite remarks to save face.

"Your Majesty has the world in your heart. This is a blessing for the soldiers at the border and for the people of Fengqi. Your Majesty can rest assured. We have won victories in the south, northeast and north. If this continues, our Fengqi will continue to grow stronger."

"This is such good news! The emperor can finally sleep peacefully for a few days!" Zhong Siyu's heart is filled with the emperor. Even though she is imprisoned, she is still thinking about the emperor. Such a woman is rare in the world, and Wan Lianxing has met such a stubborn one.

Shang Xi had seen the emperor twice in half a month, and he was still so proud and handsome. Shang Xi did not dare to say that Wan Lianxing lived a happy and carefree life, fearing that Zhong Siyu would be sad. She knew that Zhong Siyu wanted to know the emperor's recent situation the most, but was too shy to ask. Unfortunately, she did not know much. "The emperor was busy with government affairs, and he only went to Prince Pang's mansion twice in half a month."

Zhong Siyu was the queen after all, so she had to be respectable. After hearing Shang Xi mention Wan Lianxing, Zhong Siyu followed Shang Xi's words and asked, "How is the emperor these days?"

"She seems very busy with government affairs. She will leave the palace soon. Last time, my sister was punished to make 2,000 pairs of cloth shoes for the soldiers at the border because of the Jiao Man Lou incident. I was punished to make 2,000 pairs of cloth shoes for the soldiers at the border. I was punished to make the same thing. I also had one more punishment than my sister. I was grounded. Because I made more shoes than the quota, my uncle ordered me to be released from the grounding today. I was worried that the queen would not be used to living here, so I came to visit her. It was all my fault that day. I caused trouble for everyone."

Zhong Siyu shook her head and said, "It's not a problem. I came here voluntarily to pray for the soldiers at the border."

Shang Xi nodded upon hearing this. Zhong Siyu was the one who was unable to speak. Considering Zhong Siyu's face, even if this man was sent here as a punishment, they could only regard him as praying for the soldiers on the border voluntarily.

Not only that, no matter what the cause of the incident was, Shang Xi had to say with praise: "The queen is concerned about the border war. With the queen's blessing, we Fengqi will surely win victory after victory."

Deep inside the temple, Zhong Siyu still behaved as calmly as usual. If she complained a few words or blamed Shang Xi, Shang Xi would feel better. The more this person did not blame or complain, the more uncomfortable Shang Xi felt. Zhong Siyu went out with them and was sent to the temple when she came back. This was inseparable from her. Shang Xi never dreamed that one day, she would implicate Zhong Siyu.

Seeing Shang Xi looking depressed, Zhong Siyu smiled instead, "No need to be so sad, this is a lesson we should all learn from in the future."

"Empress, I don't think going to a brothel is a big deal."

"People with evil intentions have exaggerated the story, and we can't explain it even if we have a hundred mouths. My reputation is small, but bringing shame to the emperor is big. Anyway, you are not allowed to mention that kind of place anymore."

Shang Xi nodded

One cannot learn from one's mistakes without failure. After this incident, I believe that the women who drank too much and went to brothels will not make the same mistake again. None of them have had an easy time this month.

Zhong Siyu didn't keep her for long, and Shang Xi left in an incense stick of time.

Same day.

Wan Baiqian and Shi Hongjiao met at the gate of the palace by coincidence.

They hadn't seen each other for half a month. Seeing Wan Baiqian, Shi Hongjiao walked up to her excitedly, "Mrs. Qian!"

"Hongjiao? Why are you here!" Wan Baiqian was surprised that Shi Hongjiao appeared here.

"I have something I want to see the Emperor about."

"I am here to see the emperor, too. Please come with me!"

"Okay, I was worried that the emperor wouldn't see me!" Is there any need to say this? Does the emperor allow anyone to see him? If this were the case, the threshold of this palace would have been trampled down long ago.

Although both of them are women, they have practiced martial arts since childhood. They walk like the wind and are quite imposing.

In the Yangxin Palace, Wan Lianxing and Cheng Youning were sitting together. Wan Lianxing had said long ago that he would teach Cheng Youning personally, and Cheng Youning had been particularly motivated recently, which made Wan Lianxing pay attention to her. So when he had some free time, he picked up Cheng Youning's textbook and tested Cheng Youning.

Cheng Youning lived up to expectations and did a very solid job in his studies. Seeing the seedlings he had carefully cultivated sprouting silently, Wan Lianxing was quite pleased. He had made no mistake about the person. This was the successor he wanted.

Cheng Youning was reading and eating at the same time. His nimble little hands were holding his grandfather's white jade ruler and tapping pine nuts. One person was tapping pine nuts for two to eat, and the little squirrel squatting on the table could also follow suit and be lazy.

"Grandson, why did your aunt and Shi Hongjiao come to see me at the same time?"

Cheng Youning chuckled, "You're definitely not missing your grandpa."

Cheng Youning brought the freshly chiseled pine nuts to Wan Lianxing's mouth, "Grandpa, eat them. Don't pay attention to them. The two women are not at home making shoes. They are here to cause trouble for you, especially that Hongjiao. There is no corner or alley in Fengying City that she has not been to. It was she who suggested going to the brothel that day, and killed several other people! Fortunately, my grandmother was smart and went to Lingchen Temple to pray for the soldiers at the border, otherwise she would be busy making shoes at this time!"

Cheng Youning didn't know the real reason why Zhong Siyu went to Lingchen Temple, and he couldn't know it. He put the blame on Shi Hongjiao for the punishment of his mother and aunt, but what made Cheng Youning feel even more unfair was that only this instigator was not punished.

Wan Lian is fair and just. He does not show partiality to anyone. What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong.

"Your mother seemed to have also supported Shi Hongjiao's proposal that day! The legs are on her own legs, and she couldn't be abducted without Shi Hongjiao. Besides, Shi Hongjiao was trying to get everyone's opinions at that time. I heard that your mother agreed immediately without any struggle. The secret guard who came back to report the news described it vividly."

"My mother was drunk, otherwise...otherwise my mother wouldn't be able to say anything!" Cheng Youning gave up on himself. The words he wanted to say to defend Shang Xi were on the tip of his tongue, but Cheng Youning was too lazy to say them.

Because of this incident, Cheng Youning now thinks his mother is not as reliable as before. His education and etiquette are all very orthodox. It is his business whether to follow the instructions or not, but he understands the principle. So after seeing the ridiculous things his mother did, he didn't ask for help at all. It's not that he is heartless, but his words are useless and will only backfire on himself.

Wan Lianxing leaned forward and said, "Why don't you go get some sleep, and just send them away when they come."

"You said you would see me just now, why are you gone again? It's not time to sleep, why are you going to sleep?" Cheng Youning stuffed another pine nut into Wan Lianxing's mouth, and held Wan Lianxing's arm to make him sit down, and said with some momentum: "They are just two women, don't be afraid of them!"
