Hidden Sky Light

Shen Ci is the commander of the Imperial Army, and no one will stop him when entering or leaving the palace.

Shen Ci was the Taibao of the Crown Prince, and he used to go in and out of Chaoyang Palace from time to time in Beijing.

It's General Shen returning to Beijing!

The guards on duty and the servants serving in the hall all saluted him when they saw him, General Shen?

Shen Ci nodded, "Is the prince here?"

The inner waiter replied, "Yes, Mr. Fang is teaching, and the prince and all the companions are listening to the lecture in the side hall."

Shen Ci then entered.

July is the hottest time of the year, after which the weather gets cooler. Chaoyang Hall is the Prince's bedroom, where the Prince will be placed with ice to cool off the heat. Even so, the side hall will still open windows for ventilation and convection.

Shen Ci saw from a distance that the children in the side hall were sitting in two rows, a total of eight people.

Fang Siping was talking about allusions to several children.

Shen Ci recognized A Nian and Shan Hai at a glance.

Both were seated in the first row.

There are three children in the first row, Anian is in the middle, Shanhai is on the far left, and both of them are in the most eye-catching position.

There are five other children in the second row.

Among the eight children, Ah Nian was one of the two who listened the most seriously. The children next to him would be distracted from time to time, but Ah Nian had always been conscientious and focused.

A Nian is very similar to him, but if you are familiar with him, you will see that A Nian's profile looks like Chen Ling.

In particular, the way he looked when he was listening to the lectures seriously, was very similar to Chen Ling at that time...

Among the rest of the children, some were serious, some were inattentive, only Shan Hai secretly yawned.

Shen Ci couldn't help but lowered his head and smiled.

Just in time, Fang Siping looked at Shen Shanhai, "Shanhai, repeat, what did I just say?"

Shen Shanhai: "..."

Shen Shanhai was stunned, and was obviously dozing off just now.

"Brother Shanhai~" Anian quietly poked the book in front of him.

Because they are all children, most of the supporting books prepared for teaching are more pictures and less text. Also because of the large number of pictures, Shen Shanhai glanced at the book in Anian's hand, and immediately came back to his senses, "Oh, I remembered, the teacher said that there are tigers on the mountain, and tigers are not common, so the people all go up the mountain together. Look at the tiger!"

Several children laughed.

Fang Siping: "..."

A Nian sighed, "Brother Shanhai, the tyranny of government is fiercer than tigers~"

Shen Shanhai blushed.

Fang Siping sighed, "Shan Hai, do you think this is right?"

Shen Shanhai shook his head.

Fang Siping sighed, "Your second uncle was also the emperor's companion earlier, but his homework was never bad, not to mention that tigers are infested on the mountain. The homework is over, Shanhai, you stay."

"Oh." Shen Shanhai scratched his head in annoyance.

After Fang Siping finished speaking, he sighed in his heart, but when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the window.

Fang Siping thought he was wrong for a while. He just mentioned him, why did he come back?

Fang Siping thought he was stunned, but seeing the iconic smile on Shen Ci's face, others couldn't imitate it, and he couldn't be stunned either.

Really Shen Ci is back?

Fang Siping smiled, "Let's come here today."

Fang Siping put down the book in his hand, and a few treasures collectively said "wow~", as if something happy happened suddenly, and they all "giggled" and laughed.

get out of class is over early, and there seems to be a lot of things to do.

"I want to play~" "I want to eat snacks!" "I want to tease the radish." "Let's go skipping rope together." "Will it be good to kick the shuttlecock?"

Several children were talking around Ah Nian, and Ah Nian was surrounded by them, as if they were trying to do something good.

Shen Ci entered, "Zi Chu."

Fang Siping also stepped forward, "Self-safety."

"Uncle Shen?" A Nian suddenly exclaimed!

"Second Uncle!" Shen Shanhai was also pleasantly surprised.

As soon as the words fell, the two children rushed towards Shen Ci's arms together.

Shen Ci wanted to catch the two of them, so he squatted down halfway, and the two children really threw into Shen Ci's arms from left to right, and Shen Ci was almost thrown down by the two of them.

Fang Siping also had to step aside.

I knew earlier that the prince is close to Zi'an, but now I see the difference with my own eyes. When the prince saw Shen Ci, his innocent and happy appearance was clearly written on his face, which was no different from mountains and seas. And the closeness of the prince to Shen Ci is not comparable to that of the courtiers next to him. Fang Siping could think of the Crown Prince's reliance on Shen Ci during the Huaicheng Rebellion. It is not unreasonable that the emperor asked Shen Ci to be the prince Taibao.

"Uncle Shen! You're finally back! Ah Nian misses you!" Ah Nian made no secret of it.

"Second uncle! I miss you too!" Shen Shanhai also said aloud.

Shen Ci held Anian tightly with one hand and Shanhai with the other, both excited and suppressed, and said warmly, "His Royal Highness, Shanhai, I miss you too."

Both children were close to him, and they both hugged him and were reluctant to let go, especially when they got together.

Shen Ci glanced at Fang Siping, saw Fang Siping smiling at him, Shen Ci turned to A Nian and Shan Haidao, "I will talk to Zichu first."

Several children knew that Zichu was a teacher's word.

Fang Siping smiled, "When did you come back?"

Shen Ci got up, "Today, I just came back."

A few children went to play in one place, and they were taken care of by the maid. Shen Ci stepped forward. The two looked at each other and laughed again.

"You had the best homework in the East Palace earlier, but now it's really the prince's master." Shen Ci sighed.

Fang Siping smiled and said, "The best homework is the emperor. I am diligent, but your homework is never worse than mine. You just dozed off in class and lost your mind. I don't know if you went over the wall at night."

Shen Ci smiled, "Of course it is."

It happened that several children were playing together in the side hall, and for some reason began to clap their hands and coax.

Among the children, the eldest is the mountain and sea, so the focus is on the mountain and sea.

Fang Siping leaned closer and said, "See, the mountains and seas look like you, but I guess it's not as good as your homework. You are distracted in class, but when Ning Xiang asked, the emperor gave you a wink, and you answered fluently."

Shen Ci also remembered that time, and was a little lost.

At that time, Chen Ling seemed to be helping him out, cleaning up the mess, and he would tell him afterwards that he should not be distracted in class in the future.

Once annoyed Ning Xiang, Ning Xiang punished him for copying books, and Chen Ling secretly joined him, imitating his handwriting and copying books. That was the first time Chen Ling got angry with him.

Chen Ling was still in his room and left after copying the book for him, but he didn't speak to him again during the whole process.

Whether he was teasing her or being serious, she didn't make a sound.

In the end, he had to copy the book seriously, but looked up at her from time to time, and saw that she was holding the pen seriously, with a good-looking profile like a girl's home.

Finally, after copying the book, Chen Ling ignored him before leaving.

"Your Highness, are you still angry?" He stopped her at the door and didn't let her go.

Only then did Chen Ling look up at him, "Can you listen to me once? If you make the teacher angry again, the teacher will tell the emperor to kick you out. Do you really want to leave the East Palace?"

He was stunned.

"Get out of the way." Chen Ling calmed down.

He had never seen such a calm person when he was angry, Chen Ling was that.

"A Ling." He changed his name, "Are you really angry?"

Chen Ling said seriously, "Are you really happy to be kicked out of the East Palace?"

He was stunned.

Chen Ling took a deep breath and said warmly, "I'm not angry, I just don't want to talk to you."

Shen Ci: "..."

Chen Ling looked at him, "Shen Ci, if you don't listen to what I tell you, I won't speak differently."

Therefore, Chen Ling, who had never been angry with her on weekdays, did not speak to him for nearly half a month.

I'm not angry, I just don't want to talk to him.

Just like right now...

Shen Ci regained his senses, restrained the emotions in his eyes, and asked, "Where is Fan Yu?"

Fang Siping responded, "Now that I'm out on business, I'll take the two courses together first, and I'll talk about it when he returns to Beijing."

Fang Siping saw that his eyes fell on the Prince and Shanhai, so he said to him, "You see the Prince and Shanhai first, then come back and gather."

"Okay." Shen Ci nodded.

Chaoyang Hall is the prince's sleeping hall, and the companion reading is in Mingyang Pavilion not far from Chaoyang Hall.

Ah Nian has the habit of taking naps.

On weekdays, the companions go back to Mingyang Pavilion to take a nap. Today, because Shen Ci is here, Shan Hai and A Nian are together. They are both talking to Shen Ci on the small couch in the side hall of Chaoyang Hall, while preparing to sleep. .

When Shen Ci came back, the two children were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Shen Ci accompanied the two of them.

"Uncle Shen!"

"Second uncle!"

One sentence, it seems that there are endless things to say, and Shen Ci is also patiently accompanied.

In fact, both of them have developed the habit of taking naps. Even if they are lying on the couch, they will soon start yawning when they talk to each other. And if one yawns, the other yawns too.

Slowly, the speed of speaking is getting slower and slower, and his eyes are almost half-closed.

At the beginning, Shanhai fell asleep first.

Later, A Nian also fell asleep, but he seemed a little reluctant.

Shen Ci stayed with the two for a long time. Finally, the two children fell asleep with their heads resting on their heads. Even breathing sounded, Shen Ci got up and kissed A Nian's forehead.

Nian Nian, Dad is back...

***

Shen Ci was the commander of the Imperial Guard, and when he came out of the palace, he went to the eastern camp of the Imperial Guard to have a look.

Before leaving, I just told Mammy Fang that he promised to go to the forbidden army. It may be late at night, and I can't catch up with Anian before going to sleep. Let Mammy Fang take Anian to sleep, and don't wait for him.

Mommy Fang should be fine.

Seeing Shen Ci's back leaving the hall, for some unknown reason, Fang mama felt inexplicably calm, General Shen came back, and there were people beside the emperor and His Highness.

Fang Mama didn't know about the establishment of the city, but when she passed through Ancheng, she experienced that the old General Shen was still there the day before, but the next day he was gone. The old general was General Shen's father, and General Shen must be sad in his heart. .

Madam Fang sighed in her heart.

With His Highness here now, General Shen may have more sustenance in his heart...

***

"General!" "Chief!" "General Shen!" Everyone in the East Camp of the Forbidden Army was very excited when they saw Shen Ci.

Earlier, the general went to Licheng, and now he has finally returned to Beijing. It has been more than half a year.

"Great, boss! You're finally back!"

There was a rehearsal in the school grounds, and the rehearsal was temporarily interrupted by the arrival of Shen Ci.

"Continue." Shen Ci instructed, and the Imperial Guard returned to their positions and continued.

"Is it going well in Beijing?" Shen Ci asked only Dai Jingjie and Guan Shubo beside him.

Guan Shubo said, "General, rest assured, everything is going well."

When he arrived at Dai Jingjie, he said, "The general is not here, but I remember what the general told me. Beijing is the heart of Yanhan. Even if there is nothing to do on weekdays, I don't dare to take it lightly. I didn't trouble Ziyiwei, and I didn't let Ziyiwei compare."

Shen Ci's mouth slightly raised.

The forbidden army was practicing, and Guan Shubo and Dai Jingjie accompanied Shen Ci in the camp while walking and watching.

Shen Ci has been away from Beijing for more than half a year, which coincides with today's drill, and is the fastest to know the level of the forbidden army's drill during this period.

Shen Ci was at the border for a long time, and during the drill, he could see clues about his cooperation, sending orders, responding, and handling emergencies.

This exercise continued until around dusk, and Shen Ci also watched carefully before and after dusk, and he knew something about it. During the period when he was not in Beijing, the drills kept up, and he didn't stop, all within the expected range.

There will be a review of the military drill tomorrow, and today he roughly explained to Dai Jingjie and Guan Shubo.

The training materials were sent one after another. Shen Ci watched while listening to Dai Jingjie asking, "Boss, how's the border?"

Shen Ci thought of Licheng, and was slightly stunned, but whether it was Cang Yue, Xi Rong, or Chen Ling, this trip has never been seen, and Shen Ci said, "No big deal. "

Guan Shubo was a little worried, "Boss, there are rumors in Beijing that you killed a few Xirong people in Licheng, and the people and the garrison applauded."

It should be a good thing if the people and the garrison applaud, but Guan Shubo is a forbidden army, knowing that the Xirong people died in Licheng, it is very likely that there will be a border conflict, but fortunately there is nothing wrong with the border.

Dai Jingjie took over, "Boss, did you avenge your colleagues in the army?"

Guan Shubo didn't say it just now, but Xiao Wu came to look for the general that day and said that when Xue Chao died, the general's appearance was obvious to all.

Now Dai Jingjie suddenly mentioned it, and Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "I reported it."

Dai Jingjie and Guan Shubo were slightly relieved, but they listened to him again, "But suddenly I feel that it is not happy, and sometimes it may cause incidents."

"Boss..." Both Dai Jingjie and Guan Shubo could hear something in his words.

Shen Ci lowered his head and sighed, "Early at the border of Licheng, General Liu was always there, like a beacon guiding him all the time, so he walked steadily. Now he is a beacon, if you don't see it right, it will be the whole border that will be misled. "

Compared with General Liu, he still owes a lot of heat. There were always people discussing matters earlier, and he also checked for him.

Now that the old general is not in the army, he knows that eating a cut will make you wiser.

He should learn how to be a beacon.

Guan Shubo saw him in a trance, so he changed the subject again, "That's right, boss, everyone in the old general's army heard about it, boss, condolences."

Suddenly speaking of his father, Shen Ci nodded.

Dai Jingjie also said, "Boss, I didn't meet the old general for the last time, and I wanted to protect my family and the country. The old general will understand."

"General, Master Fang Sifu Fang is here." A guard of the Imperial Army came to report.

Fang Sifu? Shen Ci just returned to the capital, and he didn't know why Fang Sifu came to the forbidden army camp, but when he went to the Lihe Palace today, he happened to see Fang Sifu and Jing Zhaoyin from the Lihe Palace before meeting Chen Ling.

Guan Shubo said, "Boss, the moon viewing banquet is held every four years in Beijing, and this year happens to be. Master Fang is in charge of this matter at the Ministry of Rites. On the night of the moon viewing banquet, the Imperial Guard is in charge of the safety of Gyeonggi. Earlier, the master said that today Tongjing Zhaoyin entered the palace to face the Holy Spirit, and the preliminary plan was settled, and we will discuss with the forbidden army about the deployment, which should be the matter now."

"It's hard work." Shen Ci patted Guan Shubo on the shoulder.

This matter is related to Shubo and Fang Sifu.

Dai Jingjie is with Shen Ci. Shen Ci is not there, and there is a backlog of things that are difficult to deal with, but not very urgent. Now that Shen Ci is back, he can just look at them one by one and deal with them one after another.

Shen Citong inadvertently stayed in the forbidden army camp until late at night, completely unaware.

"I'll go to the palace and talk about it tomorrow." Shen Ci got up, and Dai Jingjie responded.

It's already this hour, A Nian and Shan Hai should have both slept, and Shen Ci hurried, but when it came to Chaoyang Palace, Fang Ma said that the prince had slept for a long time.

Shen Ci clearly looked after Anian and Shanhai in Chaoyang Hall and Mingyang Pavilion for a while, and then went to the sleeping hall.

When it was time to sleep in the hall, it was Yunchi who was on duty, "General, Your Majesty is resting."

This scene is not unfamiliar, it was when Licheng was established.

Shen Ci glanced at Yun Chi, Yun Chi was afraid that he would misunderstand, and whispered, "Your Majesty didn't say, I don't see General Shen."

Shen Ci looked at the hall, and suddenly remembered what Sheng Wenyu had said earlier.

——You have been kneeling there all the time, you let the emperor not see you... You have never considered things from the emperor's position, you are always like this... She takes care of you everywhere! Did you take care of her?

She came to Licheng earlier to make such a commotion, in order to eliminate the rumors in Beijing, so today in Lihe Palace, she told him to talk about it later.

When he returned to Beijing, Beijing naturally watched with many pairs of eyes.

Shen Ci retracted his thoughts and said to Yunchi, "No need, I'll just come and take a look, and give it to Your Majesty for me."

Yunchi was surprised to take the grasshopper from his hand, Yunchi should be.

Then, seeing Shen Ci's back, he left the hall.

Earlier, the master didn't say so...

Yunchi's master is Qishan, and Qishan has explained to him. In the palace, where General Shen wants to go in and out, His Majesty will allow him to ask if he should ask, but not if he is inappropriate.

However, Yunchi looked outside the garden again in amazement, and Shen Ci had already walked away.

Yunchi entered the hall, "Your Majesty."

Chen Ling didn't take a break, but told him earlier that someone came and said she had taken a break.

Yunchi presented the grasshopper with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, General Shen's military has just come, and he said that he will give this to His Majesty, and then he will leave."

Chen Ling stretched out his hand to take the grasshopper, and his eyes were slightly lost.

—— Whether Shen Ci is arrogant or not, His Majesty should be able to judge. With so many eyes in the capital watching, if a ruler is biased, how can he convince his courtiers? Since he is the emperor's close minister, he should know the importance and not easily put the emperor at the forefront of the storm.

Chen Ling looked at the straw grasshopper. Today, she said that he had a sense of restraint.

After such a long time, he should be slowly getting some ideas in his mind.

She would rather hang him at this time, let him think more calmly, than let him fall in front of others in the future.

When will he figure it out.

The more he wants to be with her, the more restrained and vigilant...

***

When he returned to the Shen residence and was close to his son, he went to Licheng. The servants in the residence were all there, and there were always people in the Shen residence.

Since he entered the palace first, and then went to the forbidden army camp, Xiao Wu returned to the mansion first, and the mansion knew that he was returning to Beijing, and he had already cleaned up and dealt with it.

Tomorrow is still early morning, and he is really tired today.

"General!" Xiao Wu looked tired when he saw him. This way, because of things in the mansion, the general's face was not very good. When he returned to Beijing, Xiao Wu originally thought that the general would be better when he saw the emperor, but it seemed that it was the same as before. Same.

"I'm a little tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Shen Ci undressed.

"Oh." Xiao Wu said, "By the way, the General, the Prince of Pingnan Hou came later, waited for the General for a long time, and went back first without seeing the General, and said that he would find a time to see the General tomorrow. "

Fan Zhuo?

Shen Ci sighed, but he forgot Fan Zhuo.

When he returns to Beijing, Fan Zhuo will come to see him...

I just returned to Beijing today, and I was so dizzy that I will talk about it tomorrow, and Shen Ci said to Xiao Wu, "I know, you should rest too, you are on your way all the way."

Small five should be fine.

After washing up and getting on the bed, Shen Ci lay down, and inexplicably thought of Sheng Wenyu's words in his mind.

- Are you awake?

Shen Ci closed his eyes.

He should wake up, don't let her rack her brains and protect him everywhere.

Shen Ci opened his eyes again, these days, whenever he was about to fall asleep, he would think of his big brother...

Not even knowing how to do it.

***

Shen Ci didn't know when he fell asleep, but when Xiao Wu came to call, he was about to leave for Zaochao.

Xiao Wu was a little worried, "General, it seems that you have been restless since Ancheng."

Shen Ci looked at Xiao Wu, and said, "It's okay, it will be fine in a while."

Xiao Wu comforted, "My mother said that people are inherently dead, and my father is gone, but my father is looking at me in the sky, always hoping that I am well. The old general is also, and I definitely hope that the general is well."

Shen Ci reached out and touched his head, "Got it, kid."

Xiao Wu bit his lip.

"I'll wash, you go to prepare the carriage." Shen Ci instructed, and Xiao Wu did as he did.

...

The Shen residence was not far from the palace, and the carriage did not take long to go.

It has been a long time since people heard that Shen Ci had returned to Beijing yesterday, and saw the carriage of Shen's residence today. It seems that Shen Ci has indeed returned.

Once you enter the inner palace gate, you cannot enter the inner palace gate in twos or threes.

"Have you heard that Shen Ci is back?"

"I saw his carriage just now, and it's time to go back to Beijing. I heard that I went to the palace to meet the emperor yesterday, so I asked him to be safe. It didn't take long before we went to the imperial camp. I thought he was close to the emperor before, but now I see him. , and like the courtiers next to him, it was too much rumors spread in Beijing earlier."

"Isn't it true, Shen Ci got married at the border. I heard that the wife was very beautiful, and she was a little squeamish, but she just saw the right eye."

"I see, Shen Ci is good at it. Who doesn't like soft and beautiful women, Shen Ci is also a man!"

"Earlier in the capital, there were rumors about the Son of Heaven. If he really has the same Son of Heaven..., does Shen Ci dare?"

"That's not it! Think about the earlier Donggong Companion Reading, Shen Ci, Sheng Wenyu, Fang Siping... Which one should not be held in high regard by the emperor? Son of Heaven, that part of the story is naturally close to Son of Heaven, and rumors have spread. It's normal to return from Licheng this time."

On the way to the court today, there were many voices discussing Shen Ci.

"General Shen!" "Commander Shen!" There were also greetings everywhere.

Shen Ci nodded in greeting.

...

He has not been in the court for more than half a year. In the early court, the officials shouted long live, and the word "flat body" sounded in Chen Ling's mouth. Shen Ci would still raise his eyes and look at the hall.

The red dragon robe and the twelve jade algae crowns, the majesty can't see the emperor's expression.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing." Qi Shan said loudly.

"This minister has a plan to play." Yuan Weiqing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, entered the hall, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the end of summer is approaching, but there has been a series of rains near the middle of Beijing recently..."

Yuan Weiqing's voice was in his ears, but Shen Ci's eyes rarely moved away from the emperor.

But in the hall, he couldn't keep looking at her.

Shen Ci then lowered his head again.

In the main hall, after the twelve jade algae crowns, Chen Ling's eyes have been falling on Shen Ci, remembering what Yunchi said last night, Shen Ci came and left again...

When he was in the East Palace, Shen Ci was the smartest one.

He can't guess.

Just as Yuan Weiqing said at the end, "...I am afraid that the dykes near the suburbs of Beijing will be blocked. Once the heavy rain continues, the accumulated water will not be able to drain smoothly to the Huihe River, and there will be problems in the nearby towns. Therefore, it is necessary to check the dykes in the suburbs of Beijing. It is to help the embargoed army, and it will take a few days of hard work."

"Since..." Chen Ling just opened his mouth, and Shen Ci had already entered, "Your Majesty, this matter will assist the Ministry of Industry at the end."

At Licheng Border Pass, all these things were done by the garrison, so Shen Ci didn't feel anything wrong.

Yuan Weiqing, however, was on the verge of an amnesty.

The Imperial Guards in Beijing are all uncles. Although they are not inactive, they are afraid of delays. When the tail of the summer is on, it is just one step away. If General Shen is here, it will be different.

Yuan Weiqing was overjoyed, "General Shen is here, it's naturally good!"

Above the hall, Chen Ling looked at him.

When there is no mess, everything is fine.

***

Yuan Weiqing didn't expect to mention this earlier in the morning. He originally expected that someone from the banned army would come to contact the Ministry of Industry in the afternoon, and the action could be started as soon as tomorrow. .

Yuan Weiqing stepped forward and said, "General Shen, I am very grateful, all the brothers in the army have worked hard."

Shen Ci looked at him, "At the border, the garrison was originally responsible for these things. The forbidden army was responsible for guarding Gyeonggi, and it was related to the stability of Beijing and the surrounding area.

"Yes!" Yuan Weiqing couldn't wait for Shen Ci to say what he should say.

But although Yuan Weiqing ordered to go on, he was not without worries. After the work was arranged, the forbidden army would really start to do it.

After all, General Shen is the commander of the forbidden army, and the following things have to be done by the people below.

Earlier, he dealt with Prince Jingyang Hou Shizi, and he suffered a lot of losses secretly. Now, he is a little scared, and it is not easy to say it clearly, so people are more careful, and then he finds a reason and leaves Shen resign for the time being. , I am afraid that Shen Ci will be gone for a while, and the people below will not be able to move.

But when Yuan Weiqing's matter was settled, the clerk from the Ministry of Industry stepped forward and said, "Sir, it's going well."

Yuan Weiqing was overjoyed, and then sighed again, "That is, there is no need for General Shen to stay."

The official of the Ministry of Works responded, "Sir, General Shen has gone down to dig up the blocked silt, and the guards next to him have seen it. Who dares to be sloppy?"

went there in person? Yuan Weiqing was surprised.

The official of the Ministry of Industry said, "Yes, General Shen is here, and the banned troops are doing their best, especially when General Shen said that the border garrison will help to think about these things, and the banned army said that it can't lose to the border garrison. It's coming soon."

Yuan Weiqing couldn't help laughing.

Originally, I was thinking about the project to be completed in five or six days, but now I look at it this way, it should be completed in more than three days...

"General Shen! Hey, is General Shen here?" A courtier came to look for him.

"General!" Someone shouted.

In the crowd, Shen Ci jumped out.

The person who came was Lihe Palace's inner attendant, "General, Your Majesty announces that, please follow me into the palace."

A Ling?

Shen Ci and Yuan Weiqing simply said hello before leaving.

The suburbs of Beijing are not too far away, and the carriage took a long time to enter the palace. But Mian Sheng can't be covered in mud. Shen Ci wanted to go to the Imperial Guard Office in the palace to wash the mud and change his clothes, but the inner court official said, His Majesty has asked people to ask twice, the general will go first, and later Change it again.

So when Shen Ci entered the hall with this body of silt, Yu Ya and Chen Ling both paused.

The commander-in-chief of the garrison in the north is Yu Ya. When Yu Ya saw Shen Ci, he couldn't help laughing, "General Shen, who are you?"

Chen Ling knew it.

Shen Ci didn't expect that it was Yu Ya, so he responded casually, "The silt of the dam has been dredged, and I haven't had time to change it."

Yu Ya smiled, "General Shen went there in person?"

"Yeah." Shen Ci didn't say much, and knew that he was looking very embarrassed right now. If he knew this, he changed his clothes first.

"Go and change clothes and come back again." Chen Ling said warmly.

Shen Ci should not be delusional, just now Chen Ling smiled.

Shen Ci was stunned.

Chen Lingcai looked down at the book in his hand, and said softly, "Don't make the Lihe Palace dirty."

"Yes." Shen dismissed and went out.

Chen Ling smiled, the wood stained with mud...

When Shen Ci finished washing at the office of the Imperial Guard, changed his clothes, and returned to the Lihe Palace, Yu Ya was still there.

Shen Ci guessed that Chen Ling asked him to come, it should be related to Yu Ya.

Sure enough, Yu Ya said to him, "General Shen came just in time. I was talking with Your Majesty about the change of the garrison in the north. General Liu said earlier that if you are here, let me discuss it with you."

Hearing that it was because of General Liu, it is no wonder that Chen Ling asked people to call him.

Shen remarks should be fine.

Chen Ling got up, "You two should watch first, I'll go take a break."

When Shen Ci came back from the suburbs of Beijing, she had been listening to Yu Ya's defense in the north for a long time, and she was a little sleepy now, just as Shen Ci had just arrived, Yu Yaguang wanted to talk to him about the north for a long time, and she didn't have to repeat it. , I can just go to the apse for a while.

Yu Ya: "General Shen, look..."

Shen Ci: "Where is this place?"

The voices of Yu Ya and Shen Ci came from the hall. Regarding military and defense, Shen Ci would soon be able to enter the role. Chen Ling lay on his side on the small couch, vaguely listening to the voices of him and Yu Ya talking, and inexplicably slept peacefully and steadily...

Chen Ling himself didn't know when he fell asleep.

Anyway, when I woke up, there was a figure sitting on the side of the small couch.

Chen Ling looked at him.

Shen Ci also looked at her, "Yu Ya is gone, the defense has been discussed, do you want to listen? I'll tell you..."

Chen Ling didn't say anything.

He said solemnly, "A Ling, it's my fault, it's you who cleans up the mess for me, I know you're not angry, but you just don't want to talk to me, right?"

Chen Ling continued to look at him.

He also continued, "I know, what you've said several times...is that I acted on impulse because of you treating me differently. I agreed to protect you and Anian from the wind and rain, I..."

He lowered his head and continued, "I broke my promise, give me some more time. A Ling, I..."

He stared at her, "I love you."
