My Lady is well

With her current status, she is superior to Concubine Shen, so naturally she is not afraid that the Yang Mansion will not release her.

She asked Jin'er to bring the baby to Shimian and looked at him for a while. The little guy was still asleep, with his mouth slightly open and some milk stains at the corners of his mouth.

Shen Yueyao felt that this name was very suitable for his current state. This little guy was almost becoming a sleep god.

He will definitely be lazy in the future.

She held him in her arms for a while, and seeing that he showed no signs of waking up, she had someone take him away.

There are not many memories of yesterday left in my mind.

Skip those... um... inappropriate scenes for children.

She seemed to remember that she had promised the Queen Mother to play mahjong with her, so after lunch she went to Shou'an Palace to fulfill her promise.

As soon as she entered the hall, before she had time to salute, the empress dowager pulled her to sit on the mahjong table nearby.

He held her hand with a kind smile.

"Yueyao, there is no need to be so polite. When you come to my place in the future, it will be like coming back to your own palace."

Shen Yueyao was wary of the Queen Mother's enthusiasm.

Meng Jieyu felt a little regretful for teaching her. The Queen Mother was really addicted to it and she didn't let them go until almost midnight.

Playing cards with the Queen Mother was too taxing. Shen Yueyao felt like she was simply throwing away a flood.

Even so, she still won fifty taels.

She had clearly calculated that the Queen Mother's last move should have gone to Hu Nanfeng, and she had even handed the cards to the Queen Mother, but she actually followed suit and played Nanfeng as well.

She once doubted whether the Queen Mother really knew how to play.

Holding this silver in my hand feels like a hot potato.

The Queen Mother herself didn't care much about it and sighed first.

"Why did you lose again?"

Then he encouraged himself, "It's okay, I will definitely win tomorrow. Yueyao, come tomorrow, come early, Shou'an Palace will provide meals."

"..."

She didn't really want to eat this meal.

Shen Yueyao raised her hand and patted her head, pretending to remember something, and said with difficulty.

"I want to, too, but Shi Mian has been too clingy to me lately. He won't fall asleep unless I hold him in my arms."

The Queen Mother frowned and asked in confusion, "He has already recognized people in just over a month?"

"...It's strange, maybe... I've been hugging him a lot lately. Maybe he's familiar with my scent."

The Queen Mother was a little unhappy and said regretfully.

"So you won't be able to come tomorrow?"

"It's okay. Although I can't come, I will pick a few concubines who are good at playing and let them accompany you tomorrow."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, praising: "You are still filial."

Meng Jieyu looked at the Queen Mother helplessly, frowned and thought for a moment before saying.

"Aunt, I think what you said before is right. This kind of game is no different from gambling. It's better not to lose your ambition by playing with it."

The Queen Mother waved her hand dismissively, denying it.

"You are talking nonsense, girl. When did I ever say such a thing? I think this game is very interesting. How can you know who will win or lose until you win? Life in the palace is long. Anyway, you don't plan to please your cousin. Why don't you come to Shou'an Palace more often to accompany me, an old woman, and show your filial piety?"

Meng Jieyu held her arm tightly, shook it gently twice, and said coquettishly.

"Aunt, you are the most honorable Empress Dowager! How can I be the only one to show my filial piety? You don't know that the concubines behind are lining up in a long line, eagerly looking forward to coming to you to show their filial piety. My Chengfeng Pavilion has been very lively recently. The concubines who come to learn Majiang are almost breaking the door. You have to give them a chance, don't you think so?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled happily and asked.

"There is such a thing?"

She straightened her back, behaved properly, glanced at Concubine Meng, and said.

"Well, I will give them a chance to show their filial piety tomorrow."

When Meng Jieyu heard that she could finally be freed, she immediately smiled with joy.

As soon as they stepped out of Shou'an Palace, Concubine Meng could no longer hold back.

He drooped his shoulders, sighed heavily, and complained.

"Oh, suddenly I feel that playing Mahjong is so boring that I want to quit it."

Shen Yueyao didn't expect that these words would come out of her mouth. However, she nodded in agreement and agreed with Shou'an Palace today.

"If I play mahjong with the Queen Mother, I might as well quit as soon as possible. The sooner I quit, the sooner I'll be free."

......

The emperor issued an amnesty order one hundred days after Shi Mian's death. Except for Xiao Lince, who plotted treason, all other prisoners were pardoned.

Xiao Lince has been kept in the palace, and many eyes in the court and the public are watching his fate.

In order to shatter the illusions of those who harbor disloyal motives, and also to give an explanation to the world.

The emperor's external treatment of Jing Lince was to sentence him to death.

But Shen Yueyao felt that the truth of this matter remained to be verified, although she had never asked about it.

But based on his understanding of Jing Ruzhang, if Jing Lince was really executed, it would be impossible for there to be no waves.

And because the cat in Feihua Pavilion died, he remained silent for a long time.

What's more, he is not completely without brotherly feelings towards Jing Lince.

Shen Yueyao told Jing Ruzhang about Qi Feng's life experience. Regardless of the grudges of the previous generation, the crime of assassination alone was enough to cost him his head.

After careful consideration, the emperor sentenced him to exile in the northwest. However, halfway through his journey, he received an amnesty order.

Qi Feng had no intention of giving up on assassinating the emperor. Even though he had failed, he was not going to give up easily.

After all, assassinating the emperor was his lifelong goal.

You should always have dreams, what if you succeed?

For now, he decided to face reality and find a job first to fill his stomach and raise some money before making other considerations.

It is the winter solstice in a blink of an eye.

Shen Yueyao was lying by the window reading a storybook. The cold wind blew in a few petals of fine snow, which landed on her nose and melted in an instant.

She gently lifted her eyelids and looked outside the yard. Snowflakes were falling lightly, like pear blossoms in the rain.

The heavy snow fell for several days before it stopped. Looking around, a light mist permeated the sky, earth, and mountains.

Seeing that the snow showed signs of stopping, Shen Yueyao smiled slightly and called out.

"Jin'er, get a cloak. I want to go out for a walk."

Jin'er took out a moon-white brocade cloak and put it on her.

There is a circle of soft fur at the collar, and the soft and fair little face is like warm silk.

Shen Yueyao walked to the cedar and looked at the emerald green pine needles under the white snow. She thought they were very beautiful and couldn't help but look at them for a while longer.

Over there, Jing Ruzhang was walking into the yard in a black cloak with some snowflakes sprinkled on it.

He stood at the door and looked at her for a while. Her beautiful profile, her soft hands fiddling with pine needles, her gentle and charming eyebrows reflecting sporadic soft light, and when she lowered her eyes, there was a kind of indifference, as if time had stopped at this moment.

He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his cold eyes and brows became a little softer and more tender.

She had been living too lazily these past few days, taking advantage of the snow to lie in bed all day.

It's a rare day to see her out, and on a whim I decided to tease her.
