The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Zhou Shiyue brought Yin Changxing into the palace.

He had a palace pass and could enter the palace at any time, without the emperor's permission.

However, when people in the palace saw Zhou Shiyue entering the palace, they would rush to report it.

The emperor was in the Qingxin Palace, having tea with the Concubine Shu and her family.

The second prince was there, holding his little grandson, and so was the sixth princess.

Before the palace servant came to report that Prince Jin brought people into the palace, a palace maid was talking to the emperor about the fifth princess.

It is said that the fifth princess got a short sword that could cut through iron like mud, and she wanted to ask the emperor to help her find a master who could teach her swordsmanship.

Shufei and the others were still angry when they heard this.

Concubine Yu and the Fifth Princess, mother and daughter, have been hiding for several years. We finally forgot about them, so why are they suddenly showing up now?

Looking at the situation, do you still want to compete with them?

Shu Fei actually couldn't understand what Concubine Yu had to fight for. She only had one daughter, Princess Wu, Zhou Ruan. What could she fight for?

"Even if there is a marriage alliance, it's not the Fifth Princess' turn yet. Why is Concubine Yu in such a hurry?" Concubine Shu said this sarcastically.

When the fifth princess wanted to practice sword, she told her that she wanted to learn something so that it would be her turn to marry in the future.

The fifth princess is only in her teens, why is she in such a hurry?

"Well, maybe Ruan is in better health now, so he wants to catch up on what he couldn't learn or do before."

The emperor couldn't help but speak up for the fifth princess.

In the past two days, the fifth princess would take time to come and massage his head. After her massage, the emperor really felt much more comfortable and his headache was gone.

He also found that the fifth princess was very smart and spoke sweetly. She didn't talk much, but what she said occasionally touched his heart.

For example, when I went to the imperial study yesterday, the prince was there.

The prince said, "Father, you've worked so hard, there are so many memorials to review." Before he could say anything, the fifth princess followed up with a sentence:

"Brother Crown Prince, as the ruler of a country, this kind of hardship is unavoidable. I hope you stay healthy and can read memorials for decades more."

When the emperor heard these words, it was as if he had drunk a bowl of cool sugar water. It was so refreshing.

He felt that the prince was hinting at him to abdicate! If he abdicated, he wouldn't have to read so many memorials.

But he didn't want to retreat at all!

The Fifth Princess said that he wanted to read memorials for decades longer. What a pleasant thing to hear. This meant that he could still be emperor for decades more and live to be a hundred years old.

Humph, compared to this, the Fifth Princess is really much better than the Crown Prince. Oh, and better than the Sixth Princess too. She is a very caring daughter.

In the harem, one has to learn swordsmanship and wield swords. Although the emperor was a little hesitant and entangled, he was also considering this issue.

While he was still thinking about it, he heard from the palace servants that Prince Jin had brought people into the palace, and they were heading to the cold palace.

The emperor immediately forgot about the matter of the fifth princess.

"Who did he bring in?"

"Your Majesty, it's a middle-aged man who looks like the Master Yin that Prince Jin mentioned before," said the palace servant.

Someone was always keeping an eye on the whereabouts of Prince Jin in and out of the palace, so naturally he reminded the emperor.

He hadn't paid much attention to this before, thinking that when Prince Jin came to the palace, he would at most visit the East Palace, or just come to talk to him.

Now hearing that Prince Jin had actually taken Master Yin to the cold palace, the emperor frowned, somewhat confused.

"Master Yin?"

Isn’t this from the First Xuanmen?

"What are they doing in the cold palace?"

The emperor didn't take the cold palace seriously. There were only a few abandoned concubines who were beyond his control. What could such weak women do?

But no matter what, it is not appropriate for the King of Jin, an adult man, to meet his woman casually, even if she is a woman he doesn't want.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin said he was going to see Concubine Le." said the palace maid.

Happiness is always there?

The emperor thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who this person was. He had long forgotten about the unimportant person.

The Second Prince blurted out, "Could it be that the Imperial Uncle has taken a fancy to that woman?"

"Do you know her?" The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him.

Zhou Ling was at a standstill.

"Father, that, that was before Grandfather..."

The emperor's woman?

The emperor frowned. There were actually concubines from the time when the retired emperor was in power in the cold palace?

Concubine Shu glared at the second prince.

She knew that this joy was always there.

The Empress Dowager had previously found a young concubine to divert the retired Emperor's favor. She was very beautiful, but unfortunately, she was unsuccessful because the retired Emperor did not take Le Changzai seriously at all.

How did Zhou Ling know her?

When Concubine Shu thought of her son's problem, her heart sank.

No way?

The second prince felt a little uneasy.

"Father, how about I go over and take a look? I'll see what the Emperor's uncle wants to do, and then I'll come back and report to you in detail." He couldn't help but stand up.

"Father, you can't go. The cold palace is such an unlucky place. And if those deposed concubines see you, who knows how they'll pester you."

The emperor didn't want to go in the first place.

But he really wanted to know what Zhou Shiyue was doing in the cold palace. So when he heard the second prince volunteer, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Okay, go and take a look."

"Yes."

The second prince was delighted and ran out quickly.

"Mr. Zhou!" Concubine Shu wanted to call him but it was too late.

She was so angry that her face turned pale. She grabbed her handkerchief and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Prince Jin has always disliked A Ling. I will go over and take a look."

As soon as she stood up, the little prince burst into tears.

The emperor was suddenly overwhelmed.

Because Lu Zhaoyun had been in trouble all the time and the little prince's health had been poor, his initial favor had mostly faded. Now it could not be said that he doted on the little prince any more. Especially in the past few times, the little prince would always cry loudly for no reason, and the crying was so piercing that it hurt his ears.

"My beloved, please coax him first!"

The emperor thought that Concubine Shu was capable of taking care of the child, so he immediately asked Concubine Shu to coax the child.

The nanny brought the child to Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu's face turned dark when she looked at the ugly child.

Why?

But because of this delay, she was unable to pursue the Second Prince.

"Xiao Liu, go and take a look." She gave the Sixth Princess a wink.

The Sixth Princess nodded and went out as well.

Concubine Shu looked at her back and always felt that her daughter had changed since she was cured of her crazy disease. Isn't she too quiet now?

The Sixth Princess used to be like a little firecracker, but now she speaks very little and has a blank expression on her face all day long.

She is obviously just a little girl of seven or eight years old, but she looks a little old-fashioned.

Shufei's heart sank slightly, and she looked down at the ugly child in her arms.

Lu Zhaoyun——

It seems to have no effect recently?

Cold palace.

Zhou Shiyue brought Yin Changxing to the gate of the cold palace.

Yin Changxing looked up at the palace in this remote place.

He felt a strong breath.

This aura enveloped the cold palace, making the entire palace seem somewhat oppressive.

The palace gate was closed with a copper lock.

"Master, do you want to unlock it now?" Zhou Shiyue asked.
