The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Baiqian's words were really asking for a beating. Since there were outsiders here, Wan Lianxing would tolerate her for the time being.

Hearing this, Cheng Youning looked at Wan Lianxing's lips. It turned out to be a small piece of soft skin wrapped around pine nuts. It must have been accidentally stained when he stuffed pine nuts into his grandfather's mouth just now. "Aunt, you have a good eye."

"You two, grandfather and grandson, call this studying!"

"Hehehe, little grandpa, my aunt doesn't accept it. She rolled her eyes and glared at the two of us." Cheng Youning enjoyed watching the fun. He just liked to watch his little grandpa scolding people.

But his aunt was lucky today as she came with Shi Hongjiao, otherwise she would have definitely been scolded.

"Youning, auntie thinks you want to be beaten."

"Hehehe, little grandpa, did you hear that? She wants to beat her grandson, and she's so scared!" As Cheng Youning said this, he pretended to get into Wan Lianxing's arms.

Wan Lianxing put away his smile, and his expression became a little stern. "You two can go back. If you are interested, make a few pairs of shoes. If you are not interested, don't make them. If you come to see me for such trivial matters again, I will not forgive you."

They are the kind of people who will not give up until they achieve their goal. How can they be willing to leave? "Uncle, we can't come here for nothing."

"It's not a wasted trip. Here are some pine nuts from Lingyuan. I'll give each of you a box. Go home and eat them."

Wan Lianxing did not allow them to say any more and immediately ordered someone to escort the two troublesome women out of the Yangxin Palace.

Shi Hongjiao was holding a box of pine nuts, looking worried. "It's all over now. I'm going to be in trouble when I get home."

Although Wan Baiqian also didn't smile, he looked much more relaxed than Shi Hongjiao, "You weren't sent by Madam Sha Zhao!"

"My mother-in-law didn't even know I was here to see the emperor. If she knew, she would definitely punish me."

"Then what are you afraid of? If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, no one will know about this."

"How could I possibly keep it a secret? You don't know that ever since we went to Jiao Man Lou last time, my mother-in-law has confined me to my home. I cannot leave the house without her permission. I sneaked out now, and I don't know how to face my mother-in-law when I go back."

"Didn't you say that the rules of the General's Mansion are small? Madam Sha can't do anything to you, right?"

"That depends on what the matter is. If our General's Mansion gets serious, I may not be able to handle it."

"I know you're still running out."

Wan Baiqian thought it was funny. She was a person who went ahead despite the difficulties. If she were her mother-in-law, she would punish her. Although Wan Baiqian was also a person who refused to obey orders, she was the best at managing people. From marrying into the Jin Mansion when she was a teenager, to marrying into the Daoqian Mansion later, she had seen countless people of all kinds. So far, there was no one she could not control. Even the lawless Shi Hongjiao would cry eight times a day in her hands.

Shi Hongjiao, who had wild ideas, said something shocking, "I am thinking of inviting the emperor back. If the emperor goes back to the general's mansion with me, my mother-in-law will definitely not punish me."

"How dare you think so."

Wan Baiqian was amazed for her. She was Wan Lianxing's niece, and she had never thought of inviting her to the Qian Mansion on the spot. This Shi Hongjiao really had some ideas. If Wan Baiqian had a daughter-in-law like this, she would definitely be more ruthless than Zhao Shuyun, although she was not clear about Zhao Shuyun's methods at this time.

After leaving the palace, the two went their separate ways, each returning to their own homes and working out their own methods.

Wan Baiqian didn't suffer any loss on this trip, but he just didn't get anything done and it was a wasted trip.

Shi Hongjiao was not so lucky. He was punished by his mother-in-law to be under house arrest, but he still dared to leave the house without permission. He was really bold.

Zhao Shuyun didn't disturb her this time, but punished her by making her stand in the yard and do horse stance facing the sun.

The lady from a noble family could not bear the horse stance, but Shi Hongjiao had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and the horse stance was one of its basic skills. But she could not bear the horse stance every day. Shi Hongjiao could not bear to lose weight after doing it for an hour facing the sun every day.

However, things will eventually backfire. Shi Hongjiao, unable to bear the corporal punishment, left the general's mansion a few days later, leaving behind a letter.

Her mother-in-law, Zhao Shuyun, sent people to chase her but failed to bring her back, so she just let her go.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the day when Zhong Siyu returns to the palace.

Some people have been looking forward to this day for a long time, especially Shang Xi, who has been counting the days on her fingers.

If someone from the palace hadn't gone to pick up Zhong Siyu, Shang Xi would have planned to go there in person.

Although Zhong Siyu's month of asceticism in Lingchen Temple was a bit hard, she earned a good reputation in the name of praying for blessings. In addition, the border won victory after victory, and the people said that the queen was both blessed and wise, and was a model mother of the country. For a time, the story of the queen's praying for blessings had become a legend on the streets, and the soldiers in the barracks were also grateful to the queen for praying for them. In this way, Zhong Siyu was associated with winning the battles.

But Zhong Siyu felt uncomfortable because she was ashamed. She was not a person who coveted fame and wealth, but now she had gained a good reputation for nothing. She could only say that it was a blessing in disguise.

After returning to the palace, she would first meet the emperor to put a perfect end to this "prayer".

Although it seems like she is being punished, she is actually benefiting from it. She is one of the rare people who has gained both fame and fortune.

According to past practice, Wan Lianxing must have been tripped up by a group of ministers or a mountain of memorials at this time. However, today was an exception. Zhong Siyu could not find any trace of Wan Lianxing in the Yangxin Palace.

Finally, when she met the old butler, Zhong Siyu learned that Wan Lianxing was drinking tea in the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is appreciating the flowers, which means he is in a good mood today. After not seeing you for a month, the Emperor should not give you the cold shoulder." The speaker was Zhong Siyu's maid Zhu'er.

Zhong Siyu was unsure about this. Anyway, Wan Lianxing didn't treat her well when he left. She didn't know if he had calmed down after a month.

Zhong Siyu was thinking in her heart as her legs were already walking towards the Imperial Garden. During her days in Lingchen Temple, what was hard was not the meditation but not being able to see Wan Lianxing.

As I stepped into the Imperial Garden, I could hear laughter coming from afar.

Sharp-eyed Zhu'er raised her hand excitedly and pointed to a pavilion in the distance, "Look, Madam, the prince is here too. No wonder the emperor is in the mood to visit the Imperial Garden today. It turns out that the prince is accompanying him. Hey... who is that person?"

Zhong Siyu's eyesight was also good. When Zhu'er was talking to her, she had already noticed several people in the Imperial Garden.

That person was none other than Princess Zhuoyang, who was dying a month ago. Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for a month, she miraculously recovered.

At this time, Zhu'er also recognized Princess Zhuoyang, "My queen, how come she is fine? She is still with the emperor. Doesn't the emperor hate Princess Zhuoyang very much?"

Zhong Siyu also wanted to know whether Wan Lianxing disliked Princess Zhuoyang, but only Wan Lianxing himself knew the truth.
