That night, Shen Changyuan stayed directly at Qi's house, busy helping the servants in the house clean up the dishes and sort out the sundries. Her enthusiasm made it impossible to connect her with the imperial concubine who once doted on the harem. together.
"My mother-in-law's personality is really completely different from what I imagined." Meng Yuan took advantage of the opportunity to move tables and chairs and spoke quietly to Shen Qingqing.
I thought that a woman like Shen Changyuan, who has experienced great storms and hardships in the world, would be mature, wise, and elegant. Unexpectedly, her character was completely opposite to what everyone expected.
She is very lively and enthusiastic, with a childlike innocence and simplicity in her speech and behavior. It is difficult not to get close to such a person.
Shen Qingqing looked at the woman mingling with the maids in the courtyard, with a gentle smile on her face, "Actually, I didn't expect her to be such a person."
"When we first met, I hurt my face, maybe it looked a bit serious. She hugged me and cried until her eyes were swollen. Granny Hua coaxed her for a long time before she managed to get better."
She curled her lips, and the smile on her lips became brighter, "You don't know how cute she looks when she cries and laughs at the same time."
It was also from that time that she began to try to accept the sudden appearance of her mother, just as she had advised Xuebao, there is nothing wrong with having multiple people who love you.
Shen Qingqing was immersed in the beautiful memories, but the man next to her suddenly changed his face, looked at her with a frown and said, "You still hurt your face?"
Oops, I spilled the beans again.
Shen Qingqing stammered for a long time, and then said: "It's just a minor injury, don't you think I'm fine now?"
"Yes, it's just a minor injury. Isn't it just that my face was almost disfigured, my arm was cut off, and my leg was broken? They are all minor injuries." Granny Hua, who was passing by, explained to her "considerately".
We are all a family, so if we don't help her out, is it okay to add fuel to the fire?
Granny Hua snorted with a straight face, turned to look at Meng Yuan, and said seriously: "Xiao Meng, you have to take good care of her from now on. This child will not feel sorry for you at all, and you need to take care of her."
Meng Yuan's attitude was respectful: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will do it."
Granny Hua nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Shen Qingqing and left.
Shen Qingqing touched her chin, feeling very guilty. After a while, she carefully raised her head to look at Meng Yuan.
Her legs were as straight as a tall and upright pine tree, her eyes were staring at the bright lights in front of her, and her thin lips were pursed tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Shen Qingqing coughed dryly, gently tugged on his sleeve, and explained in a low voice: "Well, I didn't want to hide it from you on purpose. The main reason is that the injuries have healed, so there is no need to mention it at all, don't you think?"
"Yes." Meng Yuan spat out one word coldly.
Hearing his answer, Shen Qingqing's head was dazed for a moment, and she couldn't believe her ears, "What did you say?"
Meng Yuan lowered his eyelids, met her eyes, and repeated in a calm tone: "I said yes... you have your own ideas, but I was overthinking it."
"No, that's not what I meant." Shen Qingqing finally realized that something was wrong. She rolled her eyes and searched for a way to deal with it. Before she could think of a way, Meng Yuan suddenly walked away.
The words "run away from home" popped up in Shen Qingqing's mind, and she quickly stepped forward to chase him. She saw him stop again within two steps.
He stopped next to Shen Changyuan who was sitting at the entrance of the courtyard chatting with the gatekeeper.
Shen Changyuan looked back at him and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"I have a small matter that I want to discuss with my mother-in-law."
Shen Changyuan patted the empty bench next to him, "Just sit here and talk. No need to change places, please."
Meng Yuan sat down as he was told, cleared his throat and before he spoke, Shen Qingqing dragged the bench and shamelessly squeezed in next to him and sat down. After sitting down, she nodded to him, "Say, don't worry about me. .”
Meng Yuan looked at her guarded manner, fearing that he would snitch, and slightly raised his lower lip, "That's right, Qingqing and I came to Xiangcheng to look for something, and now the thing has been found. In the past two days, Maybe I will go back to Ningyang County."
"You're leaving so soon?" Shen Changyuan was stunned. He clenched his handkerchief and looked at Shen Qingqing, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
"If you are reluctant to leave, you can go back with us, so that you and Qingqing don't have to separate."
Meng Yuan's voice was low and his attitude was sincere, "Ningyang County is close to mountains and water, with excellent scenery and simple folk customs. It is a good place for spiritual practice and retirement. I guarantee that you will never regret it after going there."
Shen Changyuan was moved by his sincere attitude, "You have a good heart, and you are a good boy who deserves to be trusted. But, my identity..."
Her voice paused, "Qingqing should have told you my identity, right? I am the late emperor's concubine, the concubine of Da Qi, and I have received the holy decree and practiced in the temple. How can I just leave?"
Meng Yuan suggested: "How about we find a way to go to the capital to ask for help from the emperor? Today's emperor is kind and wise, so he shouldn't care about such a trivial matter."
"No, he cares, he does care." Shen Changyuan rejected his proposal with a firm voice.
Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan cast doubtful glances at her at the same time.
"Why?" Shen Qingqing asked.
Shen Changyuan raised his head to look at the stars on the horizon and smiled, "Since there are no outsiders here, I can tell you straight away, that guy Qi Rui likes me."
Qi Rui is the name of the current Saint.
Shen Qingqing was shocked: "My mother, are you so wild?"
"Qi Rui is the one who is wild, not me." Shen Changyuan glared at her with disapproval, "Back then, he rebelled against the Dog-Killing Emperor and it was he who found me first. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to take action if I had the intention."
"After the incident, I said that I had already avenged my great revenge and there was no point in living. I would rather die if I took some poison. He refused. He said that he liked me and wanted me to be his wife."
"I'm his little wife!" Shen Changyuan clicked his tongue twice, showing a look of disdain, "My mother has become a daughter-in-law, and people still laugh at me when word spreads. He is willing to embarrass himself, but I don't want to! "
"Then I told him that I didn't want to stay in the palace anymore and asked him to let me out of the palace. No matter whether I was dead or alive, it had nothing to do with him from now on. But he refused to let me go and went to all the trouble to get me here. Already."
"He's just like the leek who has his head cut off - he doesn't give up and always thinks there's still room for the two of us." Shen Changyuan waved his hands, as if he had seen through everything, "He doesn't even think about what I have experienced before... …”
"The palace is not a place for people. The person who greets you with a smile one moment can turn around and stab you."
"Emperor's love is the most unbelievable thing in the world. When I love you, I can pluck the stars from the sky. When I don't love you, I can send your whole family to the guillotine."
She laughed softly and mockingly, "I am an evil ghost crawling out of the mountain of swords and the sea of fire. I finally escaped, how could I jump in again?" This chapter has been completed!
