The queen is a little cowardly

The blue sky is like washing, and the early summer morning is less cool.

The fruit tea was placed in ice water, and the two sat in the hall to have breakfast, silently.

After a long while, Danqing came to report the major events that happened in the palace in the past few days, the biggest thing was Zhao Dan's renovation of Changchun Palace.

Shi Sheng glanced at Yan Ru, "Has he figured it out yet?"

"Whether you figure it out or not, the Changchun Palace wants to be repaired. This is the rule." Yan Ru stirred the spoon, obviously not feeling relaxed.

Shi Sheng didn't ask any more, just took the blueprint drawn by Zhao Dan from Danqing, while Danqing explained to her where it would move and where it would remain unchanged.

"Forget it, this is His Majesty's business, and the Ai family doesn't care about it." Shi Sheng felt a headache when he heard it, and handed the blueprint to Danqing, and told her: "In the future, you don't have to report anything about Changchun Palace."

"Yes." Danqing folded the drawing and handed it to Xiao Gongren.

Shi Sheng and Yan Ru looked at each other and smiled, Shi Sheng suggested: "Shall we go out of the palace to have a look?"

"Go and see Yan Jing." Yan Ru was still a little worried about this dull-tempered younger brother.

Shi Sheng smiled, "Listen to you, we will leave the palace quietly, if anyone comes to ask, they will say that we went to play in the garden."

The two refitted and left quietly through the side door without making a sound.

When Zhao Dan came to greet the Queen Mother, both of them had already arrived at the gate of Yan Mansion.

Yan Ru didn't want to enter the mansion, the season of Sheng was special, if he went in, there would be troubles in the whole Yan Mansion.Shi Sheng thought of a compromise, and sent someone to send a message to Yan Jing to go to Wangjianglou Xiaoxu, and then sent someone to Shifu to invite Shi Yao.

There were a lot of guests in the Wangjiang Building near noon, Shi Sheng chose a private room next to the neighbor, opened the window, and could see the street view.

Yan Jing came the fastest, almost jogging in. When he saw Yan Ru, his eyelashes trembled, and he almost threw himself into Yan Ru's arms.Seeing this, Shi Sheng took the initiative to give up the private room and went downstairs by himself.

When she went downstairs, her elder brother Shi Xuan also came in. The two siblings looked at each other and smiled, Shi Xuan stepped forward and patted Shi Sheng on the forehead: "You ran out of the palace as soon as the first emperor left. If you encounter an assassin, you should What to do."

"My brother always thinks of people too badly. Why would you assassinate me? I live in the harem and don't care about anything. What's the use of killing me?" Shi Sheng rubbed her forehead, seeing that her brother looked good, she smiled in relief, and pulled He went to sit in a corner and talk.

"Is mother at home? And father?"

"It's all good, all is good. My mother has been thinking about seeing my wife recently. She is very busy. But my father and Prime Minister Yan have a close relationship, and the two of them are not as noisy as before."

There was a lot of people in the lobby, the waiter walked back and forth, refilled some tea for the two of them, Shi Yao gave a few pennies, and the waiter became more enthusiastic.

Shi Sheng rested his chin, his eyes flickered in the crowd, and his mouth didn't stop, but at the same time he analyzed the situation in front of him, "If the two of them can't get rid of their previous suspicions, they will only fall into a passive state. The Shi and Yan families played around like crazy."

Shi Xuan sighed, "It's a pity Yan Ru."

Shi Sheng raised his eyelids and looked at him: "It's a pity, don't you think I'm a pity?"

Shi Yao glanced at her, "You are not a pity, you were the one who rushed to enter the palace to be the queen, and now you have brought this situation yourself. Unlike Yan Ru, she broke up with the deposed prince. Leaving the palace, but for you, I gave up my freedom."

Shi Sheng choked, "You talk a lot, I'll find you a wife to take care of you when I get back."

"To be honest, Yan Ru has paid a lot for you. A Sheng, your love is a prison for Yan Ru." After doing their gestures, he stared at Shi Sheng again: "A Sheng, I don't think you are her lover."

"I am not her beloved, and she is not mine either. We are together because of our hearts." Shi Sheng was helpless. Compared with Zhao Dan, Yan Ru had no advantage. On the contrary, Ruo followed suit. Zhao Dan, the Shi family will go to a higher level, and she will have a better future.

But without love, life is a walking dead.

"Brother, I am too insignificant. I don't know the affairs of the court, and I can't help the Shi family. I was born a woman, and my actions are insufficient. Now, what I want to do is to grow old with Yan Ru in the deep palace. Brother, you It's no use persuading me."

"A Sheng..." Shi Huan sighed, "Your decision will determine the future of the Shi family and the Yan family. Chao, and always pay attention to your safety."

"You and I are in different positions, so we think differently." Shi Sheng smiled wryly, and she felt her brother's worry.The elder brother is the future helm of the Shi family, and all his thoughts are for the overall situation.

Shi Huan chuckled, "Okay, I'm just saying that, we will all support your decision."

Shi Sheng was silent, brother still didn't know what Zhao Dan was thinking, one day in the future, maybe he would choose to help Zhao Dan for the sake of the overall situation.

Imperial Power will be God of War everything.

Neither of them continued talking. There were more and more people in the lobby, the voices were buzzing, and the food was fragrant.

Not long after, Yan Jing came down from the private room, and Shi Sheng led Shi Yao up to the second floor.

Yan Jing is like a spring breeze, he is very at ease, Shi Huan has matured a lot, and his speech and behavior are not as comfortable as before.

After lunch, Shi Yao wanted to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Yan Jing didn't move, but looked at the remaining two and laughed at Yan Yan, "Why did the two sisters think of going out of the palace today?"

"It's not that your sister misses you." Shi Sheng said angrily.

Yan Jing smiled shyly, "I heard that there are continuous wars on the border. I have already participated in the conscription and will travel far away soon. I wanted to go to the palace to pay my respects to Sister A Sheng, but I was afraid that people would talk too much. Come to see me today, It's also fate."

"You want to leave Shangjing?" Shi Sheng was shocked, "You have a seal, why do you want to go to the border?"

"A man should be down-to-earth, how can he worry about Yinfeng. Besides, I still have a younger brother, without me, my father will not feel lonely." Yan Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and when he touched the clarity of Shi Sheng's eyes, he had no choice but to tell the truth : "Father has always ignored me, and he is particularly partial to my younger brother. I am very envious of Brother Shi Yao."

Shi Weijie is self-conscious, with only one son and one daughter under her knees, so she will naturally cultivate Shi Huan seriously, while Yan Jing has no mother, and his father doesn't love him, so he can only make his own way.

"You are very brave. You went to the border and took care of yourself. Yan Ru will take care of herself. I am alive, so she will have no worries about food and clothing." Shi Sheng sighed. After the new emperor ascended the throne, both Yan and Shi families felt a new crisis.

The elder brother cared about the overall situation, and Yan Jing went away to the border, never to find the happy time in the past.

Several people talked for a while, Yan Jing was going back to the mansion to prepare, Shi Sheng and Yan Ru were also going back to the palace.

The three parted ways, Yan Jing looked back every three steps, very reluctant to give up, but Shi Sheng urged him to go back earlier.

After boarding the carriage, Shi Sheng hugged Yan Ru tightly, and muffled against her, "Am I being selfish?"

"Yan Jing was just trying to find a way out for himself, and what you did was just to save your life. Shi Sheng, people are selfish, it depends on whether you have good intentions in your heart. You don't do evil, so why care about what others say. You are worthy of Heaven and earth, there is no need to be uncomfortable." Yan Ru's eyes were dark, and his words were difficult, Yan Jing's departure is a doomed thing in history.

She lowered her eyes and kissed the tip of Shi Sheng's nose, "You don't have to think too much, you and I are just a girl, and there is too little we can do in this era. Protecting yourself and living bravely is the biggest difficulty."

Shi Sheng nodded slowly.

The whole journey was silent, the carriage stopped at the gate of Changle Palace, and Danqing was looking forward to it anxiously.

Yan Ru got out of the car first, and Dan Qing hurriedly went to help the Empress Dowager, "You can count yourself back. Your Majesty came down twice and said that he had something to discuss with you."

"It's definitely not a good thing for him to seek me out, so don't worry about it." Shi Sheng waved his hand, Zhao Dan was just a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken, and he had no good intentions.

Yan Ru still ordered Danqing, "Go to His Majesty and ask, and he will tell you that the Empress Dowager has returned and has prepared dinner, please invite him to eat dinner."

Shi Sheng was furious, "It's too late to hide, why invite him?"

"The one who wants to invite, he is the emperor, and you are the empress dowager." Yan Ru pulled Shi Sheng, and it was difficult to appease her in front of the palace people, so he had to lead her all the way back to the palace.

After returning to the hall and closing the door, Yan Ru immediately pushed the person against the door and explained cautiously: "You and I can't offend you, why don't we just see what he wants to do."

"Are you so afraid?" Shi Sheng felt that Yan Ru was much humbler.

Yan Ru shook his head: "It's not because of fear, but because of helplessness. If we are all equal, we shouldn't care about it, but he is higher than us, so we need to care about his eyes. Besides, he doesn't dare to do anything to you, just see him." .You are angry, why don't I feel sad."

She was the one who should be angry and sad, but Shi Sheng made her angry.

Shi Sheng was stunned for a moment, then blinked blankly, "I'm angry first, so you won't be angry."

Yan Ru: "You are angry with a villain."

"Only the villain complains first, and the villain is angry. Since he wants to come for dinner, I will cook for myself." Shi Sheng stopped being angry in an instant, and rolled up his cuffs, revealing a pair of slender and white arms, " What would you like to do for him?"

"Stir-fried stones in sugar, steamed wood, braised white porcelain in red, and added a red lacquer soup, so that he won't dare to come back next time."

Yan Ru rubbed his forehead, "You go ahead and do it, I'll go and see the fruit tea."

"Don't give him a drink, it's a waste of everything." Shi Sheng resisted, pushed open the door of the palace, and called Danqing: "Go to the kitchen with Ai's family."

Danqing trembled, "Do you want to cook for His Majesty?"

"Yes, I can't kill him." Shi Sheng walked towards the kitchen, thinking about which stones to use for the sugar-fried stones, whether the wood should be freshly chopped or used.

*****

When Zhao Dan came, it was only dusk and it was still early, Yan Ru was arranging the tableware in the hall.

Zhao Dan glanced at her and led her to find the Queen Mother.The palace people did not dare to disobey the holy will, so they had no choice but to make people into the kitchen.

"The Empress Dowager is so elegant, I wonder if I can let it go?" Zhao Dan leaned on the door frame, taking care of the busy Empress Dowager in front of him.

When Sheng was making sugar-fried stones, looking at the sugar in the pot, he was puzzled and didn't have the heart to answer Zhao Dan's words.Zhao Dan waited for a while, then walked in to have a look, and felt a toothache, "Aren't you afraid that the pot will be ruined?"

"No, I think the sugar is very fragrant, do you smell it?" Shi Sheng sniffed his nose, picked up a small piece of sugar and stuffed it into his mouth, then jumped a stone and handed it to Zhao Dan, "Try it, it's very sweet." Sweet."

Zhao Dan didn't refuse, took the stone and put it in his mouth. The stone and sugar were fried together for a long time, and it was tainted with a bit of sweetness.
