It was extremely hot in the Yan Kingdom in July. The tireless cicadas on the trees kept calling, and the world was so noisy that the people in the house were unable to take a lunch break, so they had to wander uneasily in the front hall.
Outside the house, several palace servants took long bamboo poles and knocked on the branches to drive away the annoying things. As expected, the palace became much quieter, but the people inside were still anxious and walking back and forth.
Regarding Shangguan Han's drowning, the investigation bottleneck has now been reached. However, Shangguan Feng'er is not anxious about this matter, because she and Concubine Jing understand that the investigation of what happened back then can only go so far, and what she is anxious about is in the palace.
outside.
If she had no worries, she would have flown out of the palace like an arrow, but that was impossible. There was someone in the palace who was worthy of her concern. Therefore, if she wanted to leave the palace, she would have to wait for someone. The damn thing was that
Since the incident with Concubine Jing and Zixuan in March, she has not appeared until now.
For this reason, Shangguan Feng'er was so anxious that her mouth blistered in the past few days, and she had to eat porridge because of the pain.
"Princess, the fourth prince is back." Yuan'er hurried from outside the palace: the young master has been talking about the fourth prince these days, and even got angry, but fortunately today the fourth prince finally returned to the palace.
That's right, the person Shangguan Feng'er has been talking about is Shangguan Chen.
"What, Shangguan Chen has returned to the palace!" Shangguan Feng'er didn't believe her ears, and then she gritted her teeth, "Why is this damn Shangguan Chen willing to come back?" She had been made to wait for four months, and she was still thinking about it just a moment ago.
If you wait for him to come back, you will give him a beating.
"That's all, just come back and ask him to come to Yilan Palace." However, she gave up the idea in the end, after all, she still asked him for help.
"I'm here, aren't I?" Before seeing the person, I heard his voice first, and then saw a blue figure appearing at the door of the palace. In the blink of an eye, that person was already sitting next to Shangguan Feng'er.
"Have you seen Shishi?" Shangguan Feng'er looked eagerly at Shangguan Chen's handsome face that was so charming that it would kill you for your life.
Shangguan Chen raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Call me brother and I will tell you."
Shangguan Feng'er rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
Seeing that he couldn't succeed, Shangguan Chen felt bored, "Well, I saw it, and I saw Liu Shijie." After saying that, he picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip.
"Cousin? Shouldn't he be outside the Great Wall with his uncle?" Shangguan Feng'er's handsome eyebrows were raised slightly in confusion.
Shangguan Chen looked at Shangguan Feng'er's stunning face and said, "I heard that the new emperor in Qi State has ascended the throne and the country is temporarily unstable. He wants to make peace with us. Liu Shijie came back this time to report this matter to his father."
, glanced at her in confusion again, "By the way, didn't he enter the palace two days ago, didn't you know?"
Shangguan Feng'er looked back at him indifferently, "I don't know."
In the past few days, the palace people have been busy preparing for Shangguan Lafang's coming-of-age ceremony. She has been staying in Yilan Palace and is unwilling to go out. On the one hand, the weather is hot;
On the other hand, she didn't want to run into Shangguan Lafang on any road. Although Shangguan Lafang had become more settled in the past few years, she still felt that one more thing was better than one less thing. So as for what happened in the palace in recent days,
, don’t know at all.
Mei Mei looked around and saw no one else around. She looked at Shangguan Chen again and whispered, "How are the arrangements over there?"
Shangguan Chen chuckled, "Everything has been arranged, I just need you, the boss, to take a look at it." This little girl, in ancient times, still did not forget to be a strong woman.
"It's not up to you." Shangguan Feng'er pouted and looked at Shangguan Chen pitifully.
When Shangguan Chen saw her like this, he burst into laughter, "I can take you out of the palace, but you can handle it yourself, father and mother." The mother and concubine he mentioned was Concubine Liu.
Since the death of Concubine Lan, the emperor has been thinking about which concubine to adopt Shangguan Chen to raise. It happened that Shangguan Chen was having fun with Shangguan Feng'er and Liu Shishi, so he directly adopted Shangguan Chen under Concubine Liu's name.
Shangguan Feng'er pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, "It's easy. Is there any problem with you when I leave the palace tomorrow?" As she said that, she looked at Shangguan Chen with raised eyebrows, as if to say: There is no problem with me, now.
It's up to you.
"Okay, but let's talk about it first. It's none of my business to be discovered by my father, emperor, mother, and concubines." Shangguan Chen knew Shangguan Feng'er too well, so he kept repeating it.
Shangguan Feng'er had the feeling of regretting the past and rolled her eyes at Shangguan Chen, "Where did you think you were? You thought I was going to secretly carry my father and mother out of the palace on my back."
"Then, how do you want to get out?" Shangguan Chen looked at Shangguan Feng'er with some surprise.
"You are so verbose, I have my own solution." Shangguan Feng'er glanced at him dissatisfied, "By the way, have you met the mother and concubine?" But she didn't think about it. As soon as Shangguan Chen returned to Yilan Palace, she stopped him.
Now, how can I see Concubine Liu?
Shangguan Chen didn't hear the question and just said, "No, then I'll go pay my respects to my mother and concubine."
"Then you go and tell mother and concubine that I am not feeling well today and will not have dinner with you at noon." Shangguan Feng'er winked at Shangguan Chen.
Shangguan Chen shook his head helplessly: Although Shi Yu'er was a strong woman in modern times, now it seems that she is completely a naughty little girl.
The next day, Shangguan Feng'er obtained the consent of the emperor and Concubine Liu. She could leave the palace to visit General Liu's mansion in August, and she would need to be accompanied by the fourth prince Shangguan Chen, but she would have to return to the palace in mid-August.
For Shangguan Feng'er, there were many ways to leave the palace, and Shangguan Chen was not required to accompany her. However, she chose to seek the consent of the emperor and Concubine Liu. This was simply to reassure them and not worry about herself.
Many people do not know blessings when they are in the midst of blessings. However, after experiencing life and death in previous lives, Shangguan Feng'er has long been a person who knows blessings and cherishes them.
