The imperial concubine frowned slightly, her face showing a sad expression, which made people feel pity: "Why doesn't your majesty want to see me?"

The guard leader lowered his head, expressionless, and just repeated: "Your Majesty, please return to the palace."

A trace of anger flashed across the imperial concubine's face. At this moment, a palace maid stepped forward, supported her, and gently persuaded her: "Your Highness, let's go back to the palace."

If I lose my composure in front of Xianyou Palace, I'm afraid I'll cause His Majesty's displeasure.

The imperial concubine covered her chest with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes: "I am just worried about the prince. He is still young, but he has to go to a place as far away as Guang'an Prefecture."

The imperial concubine bit her lips tightly and looked at the closed door unwillingly again.

Your Majesty really has a cruel heart.

Seeing this, the palace maid beside her couldn't help but show sympathy.

The imperial concubine was over forty years old, and time seemed to be particularly kind to her, leaving no traces on her delicate and flawless face.

When the imperial concubine was young, she was an extremely beautiful woman, otherwise she would not have been chosen at first sight and brought back to the palace when Your Majesty visited her incognito.

From the day she entered the palace, she was canonized as a beauty, and in just a few years she was promoted to the position of imperial concubine. For nearly twenty years, she has been highly favored and has continued to enjoy honor and favor.

However, the imperial concubine seemed to have a weak constitution and never became pregnant until a few years ago when she gave birth to a prince.

Moreover, at this time, the emperor had already appointed a crown prince.

If the imperial concubine had given birth to a prince earlier, she might have had a chance to compete for the position of crown prince, but now it is no longer possible.

Especially a few days ago, His Majesty sent all the princes to their fiefdoms, including the sixteenth prince who was only five years old.

Although the imperial concubine knelt and begged in front of the palace, her tears and pleas failed to move His Majesty's hard heart.

When this matter was reported to the harem, the concubines, after hearing about it, actually used it as a topic of conversation after dinner, with contempt in their laughter.

After twenty years of pampering, I thought the love was as deep as the sea, but I didn't expect it to be nothing but a mirage, fleeting.

The palace maid supported the imperial concubine and they slowly left. Shu Changyu still kept his head lowered and did not even glance at her departing back.

The immortal master and his entourage were escorted back to the side hall by the guards and the door was gently closed.

White smoke was rising from the incense burner on the coffee table, and the room was filled with smoke.

The immortal master looked at Shu Changyu with worry in his eyes.

Shu Changyu picked up the teacup but did not drink it. His slender fingertips reflected the white porcelain teacup.

He tilted his head, his eyes were deep and profound, but his heart was as calm as water, without a single ripple.

Suddenly, he shook his right hand slightly, the teacup tilted, and the tea spilled onto the table.

Shu Changyu quickly wrote on the table with his wet fingertips: "The plan remains the same."

After the immortal master looked at it, another disciple silently wiped the tea on the table.

Time quietly enters June, and the scorching sun is scorching the earth.

Song Yan sat on the doorstep, gently waving a fan. Her clothes swayed gently in the breeze, and the collar seemed a little loose.

Gousheng lay lazily at his feet, his tongue hanging out because of the heat.

Song Yan couldn't help but sigh. She missed modern air conditioners, refrigerators and big watermelons so much.

Out of boredom, he opened "Revisiting the Imperial Examination Road" again and began to read it page by page.

The story in the book has progressed to the point where the hero has passed the imperial examination and is preparing to go to the capital.

At the same time, Erlin also passed the imperial examination and was invited by the male protagonist to go to the capital together.

After reading this, Song Yan couldn't help but curse Song Dashu as a bastard.

We have to mention what happened after Song Dashu sold Erya to the human trafficker.

Afterwards, he abandoned Yaya on the roadside as well.

When Erlin found out, he hurried out and brought Yaya back.

Facing his elder brother's unfriendly gaze, Erlin felt sad. He knew very well that even if he took Yaya home, his elder brother would abandon Yaya again when he was away.

He wanted to find a family to give Yaya up for adoption, but in this difficult time when even adults could barely afford food and clothing, how many people would be willing to adopt an abandoned baby girl?

Fortunately, the Niu family across the street was kind-hearted and adopted Yaya.

However, fate was cruel and the Niu family later encountered misfortune, and Yaya was forced to live in a brothel.

At that time, Erlin had also met with an accident, was stripped of his official title, and died on the way back home.

Yaya, who lived in a brothel, was eventually spotted by a wealthy and powerful man, who bought her and gave her as a gift to the male protagonist, who was a prince at the time.

Of course, these are not specifically mentioned in the novels. They are all inferred by Song Yan based on the villains' brief memories.

The source of this family's tragic fate is that bastard Brother Song.

That's why Song Yan gritted her teeth like that.

After reading a few chapters, Song Yan began to feel sleepy. He spread out the mat on the ground, lay down and closed his eyes lightly. In his sleep, he felt something pressing on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.

When Song Yan opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of big, round eyes like black grapes.

"Wow~"

What did you think it was?

Song Yan chuckled: "So it's you, little thing."

The little guy waved his hands happily and slapped him on the face.

Song Yan quickly grabbed her little hand. Her arm was like a lotus root node, so white and tender that people couldn't help but want to suck it.

The little guy is six months old and can barely sit for a while.

Song Yan took out the toys he had bought from the stall and started playing with her.

The little girl picked up the toy and put it into her mouth, but Song Yan quickly snatched it out of her mouth.

Fortunately, this thing is made of wood and is polished very smoothly, with no sharp edges.

Song Yan frowned and taught her, "Don't put it in your mouth, it's dirty."

The little guy is probably about to grow teeth, and his gums are itchy, so he has to put anything he sees into his mouth to grind it.

Song Yan thought about making some cookies for her to chew on later.

Yaya grabbed the toy again and threw it out. Gousheng saw it and subconsciously pounced over and grabbed it.

"No, no, no!" Song Yan quickly ran over and picked up the toy.

I played with Yaya for a while until the sun was about to set and it was time for dinner.

When summer comes, Song Yan has no appetite and sweats profusely after every meal.

He simply suggested: "Let's have cold noodles tonight."

In such hot weather, it’s better to eat less hot meals.

"Great, I want to eat cold noodles." Erya cheered excitedly.

Erlin looked away from the book and glanced at Song Yan: "Brother, please feel free to do as you please."

"Then let's eat cold noodles."

Song Yan rolled up his sleeves, took out the flour and started kneading the dough and making noodles.

After repeated stretching and folding, the dough gradually becomes slender and even, and the noodles are smooth and elastic.

After the noodles are cooked in boiling water, quickly rinse them in cold water to keep them cool and refreshing.

Then, Song Yan took out the soy sauce and vinegar and prepared the seasoning.

He bought these sauces and vinegars when he went to the county town last time. Now he has enough money and is no longer as tight on money as before. He can't even afford to buy vinegar and only uses citron juice to replace the sour taste.

If you want to make cold dishes delicious, you still have to use vinegar. Vinegar has a sour, rich and mellow taste, and it is the soul seasoning of cold dishes.

Add onions, garlic, coriander, white sesame seeds, peppercorns, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and fried peanuts, and pour boiling hot oil on them. When the aroma came out, Song Yan couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

In the words of modern netizens, this bowl of seasoning is delicious even if you mix it with shoe soles.

After pouring the seasoning into the cold noodles, Song Yan felt it was a bit monotonous, so she went to the yard to pick a tender cucumber, cut it into shreds, mixed it with the cold noodles, and started eating.

"Erlin Erya, come and eat cold noodles!"

On a hot summer day, take a sip of the spicy cold noodles, which are refreshing, fresh and fragrant, and give you a sense of satisfaction.
