Hidden Sky Light

Chen Ling went to bed early last night and woke up early this morning.

When I woke up, I didn't see Shen Ci. Qishan said that when His Majesty took a rest last night, General Shen returned to the post house...

As Chen Ling was drinking porridge, he thought that he really thought he was here to serve.

And it's the kind of consciously not staying...

Chen Ling choked.

Inexplicably, I thought that when the king came to the harem, he would stay in the harem, but when he summoned the harem to the harem, the harem would not keep anyone.

Chen Ling thinks that Shen Ci has taken the right seat?

But on second thought, this is the Pingnanhou Mansion, and he settled in the post house again, it is better to be careful.

Chen Ling remembered that he took candied gourd to coax her yesterday, and of course he took candied gourd to Anian's place. Anian has not been with him these days. He should miss Anian, and Anian also thought of it.

Thinking of this, Qi Shan just entered, "Your Majesty, your Royal Highness is here."

"Father~" Ah Nian woke up this morning and came to Chen Ling early.

Since Liaocheng followed Shen Ci's ride all the way, Ah Nian was used to going to bed early and getting up early, working and resting regularly, and also endorsed books in the morning and exercised in the morning, and he never missed a day.

In the past few days in Miaocheng, Chen Ling spent almost all of his time seeing the officials accompanying the southern tour and the generals of the garrison in various places, except that he could spend a small amount of time with A Nian at night, and he mostly did not see him during the day. When she arrived at Ah Nian, Ah Nian missed her, so she had time to come early in the morning.

Sure enough, Momo Fang followed behind A Nian, so tired that she was out of breath, "His Royal Highness is thinking of coming to see His Majesty, but I can't even run all the way."

Chen Ling smiled and put down the tableware, "Have you had breakfast?"

Anian shook his head.

Chen Ling said to Qi Shan, "Add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Qishan should be fine.

A Nian sat down, sensible with Chen Ling.

A Nian is more than three years old and can use chopsticks, but it is not very neat, so Mommy Fang gave him a spoon instead.

Chen Ling served him vegetables, and he ate them with a spoon, smiling happily.

A Nian knew that his father was in front of him, and he would not eat or sleep. He should be quiet when eating, and chew slowly.

But he hadn't eaten with his father for a long time. A Nian ate a lot of things obediently, not picky eaters, and he was full. Then he put down the spoon and said warmly, "Father, I have used it."

Chen Ling nodded.

A Nian's eyes turned smart, and he said again, "Father, I can already memorize all of the Five Eyes, so listen to my endorsement."

Chen Ling couldn't help but smile, knowing that Ah Nian worked hard and wanted her approval.

"Okay, let's go to the garden." After Chen Ling finished speaking, Ah Nian was really happy.

In the warm pavilion in the garden, A Nian shook his head and carried "Five Eyes" on his back. Although he was stubborn, he was actually memorized by his milky childish voice, and it was very pleasant to listen to.

Chen Ling listened attentively and couldn't help thinking that Ah Nian was actually very smart. If it was such a difficult "Five Eyes", he might not be able to carry it on his back for half a year, but Ah Nian could recite rhythm even in rhythm. .

These things were originally incomprehensible to him at this age, but he just made him grind his ears. He had a hunch that it would not be boring and jerky in the future. Anian did better than the children next to him.

She felt more and more that Ah Nian was smart before, but she was more restrained, but Ah Nian didn't pay much attention.

This month, I followed Shen Ci, as if it was another scene, and I was even interested in endorsement.

In Chen Ling's thoughts, Qi Shan came to him, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Jianping Hou Shizi is here."

Sheng Wenyu?

Chen Ling let out a light hum, and just put down the "Five Eyes" in his hand, Sheng Wenyu came to the garden, "Wei Chen has seen Your Majesty, Your Highness."

"No ceremony." Chen Ling whispered, and also got up and said to Anian, "I have something to say with Shaofeng, and you are with Momo Fang."

A Nian nodded obediently.

"Walk with me." After Chen Ling said, Sheng Wenyu handed over, "Yes."

Chen Lingyuanzi is in the clean place of Pingnanhou Mansion.

Right now, Chen Ling and Sheng Wenyu were pacing the path outside the garden, with Qi Shan following far behind.

"Anything to look for me?" Chen Ling asked.

In the four years since Shen resigned from Licheng, Sheng Wenyu and Fang Siping were among Donggong's companions to help her fight. Especially not long after A Nian was born, she had just returned to Beijing, her father was seriously ill, and there were dark tides in the court. , not only Chen Xian, Chen Yuan, but also the two uncles from earlier were eager to move. At that time, the eldest grandfather and Chen Xiuyuan had not yet entered the capital, and Sheng Wenyu and Fang Siping were running for her.

Later, when she ascended the throne, Cao Zhidu, Huo Lianqu, Chu Pingyu, and An Yunbai were all placed elsewhere and could not be moved for the time being. It was also at that time that Sheng Wenyu and Fang Siping faced the huge pressure from the court and gradually became the real power. The Prince of Jianping Hou and the Minister of Officials.

She was relieved to have calmed down Huaicheng earlier and handed over the post of garrison commander to Sheng Wenyu, because she knew the roots and the bottom line, and also because of her trust.

After Chen Ling asked, Sheng Wenyu took out a brocade bag from his sleeve and presented it to Chen Ling. Chen Ling was surprised, because it was something Sheng Wenyu handed over, Chen Ling did not follow the rules to let Qishan open it, but opened it by himself. Look, it's a jade pendant with the word "You" engraved on it. This is her jade pendant.

Chen Ling suddenly remembered that he should have landed in Huaicheng earlier.

She always thought... that she could not find it on the way to escape, but she didn't expect to find it.

Chen Ling's eyes were surprised.

The "Yu" on this jade pendant is her nickname. It was made for her by her aunt before. She couldn't bring it with her in Beijing. When she came back to see her aunt this time, she specially took it with her.

Sheng Wenyu had seen it in the East Palace earlier and knew that it was hers, so he didn't hand it over to others, but gave it to her directly without asking any more reasons.

"Thank you very much, Shao Feng." Chen Ling accepted it. Now that her aunt has passed away, this jade pendant is even more precious.

"Wei Chen remembers that it is an important thing around His Majesty. It's good to find it." Sheng Wenyu didn't mention much.

Chen Ling asked Qi Shan to collect it.

Sheng Wenyu continued, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen will go to Huaicheng with Ning Xiang tomorrow, and it's time to say goodbye to His Majesty."

Sheng Wenyu is different from others. She is a close minister by her side. She has to inform the emperor when she comes to take it. Sheng Wenyu is on a special trip today.

Chen Ling urged, "Although the Huaicheng affair has come to an end, there is nothing serious, but don't take it lightly. Tan Jin has been at the border for many years, and some are loyal to him. Although Tan Jin is dead and the situation is over, most of these people are Desperados, there is no fear or taboo, this kind of person is the most prone to trouble, rarely meet, you should be more careful."

"Wei Chen remembered it." Sheng Wenyu responded.

Chen Ling said again, "Take care of the teacher for me."

"Yes!" Sheng Wenyu responded again.

"Also, Fan Yu..." Chen Ling hesitated, but Sheng Wenyu understood, "Weichen will try to protect Fan Yu and make sure that nothing will happen."

Post-disaster food relief and planning are the most likely to offend people. There must be a strong pusher, and people must be backed up by Fan Yu. Ning Xiang can control the overall situation for Fan Yu, but the garrison is in his hands, he supports Fan Yu, and with the support of the garrison, Fan Yu's affairs will be easy to do.

He has been with the Son of Heaven for a long time, he knows what the Son of Heaven means, and he has a tacit understanding.

Chen Ling smiled and said nothing.

"By the way, Mrs. Pingnan Hou mentioned Sheng Yao's marriage to me earlier. I told her and I will discuss it with you." Sheng Yao is still in Hou's mansion. Sheng Yao is Sheng Wenyu's younger sister, she should speak to Sheng Wenyu.

Sheng Wenyu replied, "Ayao's affairs, Wei Chen will talk to his mother, Ayao is young, and Zi'an has been in Beijing or at the border all these years. I have never met Ayao, and it is better that Fan Zhuo is familiar with Ayao. Zi'an's thoughts are not here at all, but this move by mother and Madam Hou made it difficult for both Zi'an and Ayao to deal with this matter.

Chen Ling looked at him and said nothing.

Sheng Wenyu handed over, "His Majesty returned to Beijing, the journey is smooth, and we will never see each other again."

"Okay." Chen Ling nodded.

Looking at Sheng Wenyu's back, Qi Shan stepped forward, "I heard General Shi say that among the garrisoned troops in various places this time, the Fengzhou garrison is the fastest one, because there is a letter written by the prince himself, the prince himself rode a few all-night fast cars day and night. Ma, sneaked into Huaicheng, Yucheng and other places successively, but did not find His Majesty. Later, it was reported that His Majesty was in the north of Fuyang County, and the prince went to the north again. At that time, His Majesty was with General Shen. Later, it was General Qu's purple-clothed guard has arrived..."

Chen Ling couldn't help lowering his eyes, "I know."

***

In another place, Sheng Wenyu was with his confidant.

"Where's Miss?" Sheng Wenyu asked.

The confidant replied, "I am with Mrs. Nanhou of Pingping. When the prince was with His Majesty, he had already asked someone to tell Mrs. Hou that the prince would go to see Mrs. Hou."

Sheng Wenyu nodded.

The confidant hesitated, seeing that there was no one around, and asked again, "Prince, this time, the prince really won't go back to Beijing with the saint?"

Sheng Wenyu replied, "No, with Shen Ci and Chi Hongying here, Your Majesty is safe, and things in Fuyang County are sorted out as soon as possible before returning to Beijing."

After Sheng Wenyu finished speaking, he said to his confidant, "By the way, let me go back to Fengzhou City first, and tell my mother that I will send Ayao back later. For Shen Ci, let my mother not worry about it. to arrange."

"Yes!" The confidant responded.

Between words, he also went to Madam Hou's garden.

The next person passed the message, and Sheng Wenyu entered, "I have seen Mrs.

Mrs. Hou and the mothers of Sheng Wenyu and Sheng Yao are best friends, so they are friendly when they meet him, "Is Shao Feng here?"

Sheng Yao is also kind, "Brother."

Sheng Wenyu stepped forward and said, "Madam, Shaofeng will leave Miaocheng tomorrow and go to Huaicheng. Today, I came here to say goodbye to Madam."

Mrs. Hou sighed, "This is fast, and everyone will leave in a flash."

Sheng Wenyu replied, "I have an errand at hand, so I can't delay it. When I come back from Huaicheng this time, I will make a special trip to the Hou residence to see my wife. Right now, there is a gift from the royal family to be sent to my mother, and I want Ayao to join us. Go back, don't worry."

Mrs. Hou already knew in Zi'an that she could not arrange a marriage with Sheng Yao no matter what. She was so confused at first that she didn't think about venting with Zi'an first, and she almost got into trouble.

Now, when Madam Hou recalled the expression on the emperor's face at that time, she was afraid.

The emperor was displeased, and she mentioned it several times...

Mrs. Hou had lingering fears, and wished that Sheng Wenyu would not investigate further.

Sheng Wenyu asked again, "By the way, Madam, where is Fan Zhuo?"

Madam Hou sighed softly, "He doesn't look like a wild horse running away, and I don't know where I've touched it today. There's never a day where people can feel at ease!"

Sheng Wenyu said with a smile, "Ma'am, Fan Zhuo has a share of the credit for Tan Jin's aversion this time, because he has grown up."

Mrs. Hou was relieved again.

When Lu Mingjian was not in front of her, Mrs. Hou looked at Sheng Yao, "Ayao, Aunt Shen is sorry for you this time..."

Sheng Yao shook her head gently, "Where is Aunt Shen, I came to Miaocheng this time, accompanied Aunt Shen all the time, and saw a lot of interesting things in Pingnan County. A Yao is very happy."

Mrs. Hou couldn't help but like, "Good boy."

Mrs. Hou really liked Sheng Yao, and the two said goodbye for a while before Sheng Yao got up.

Sheng Wenyu said to Mrs. Hou, "Ma'am, Ayao and I will say goodbye here, and I will go to the study to meet Lord Hou and leave later."

Mrs. Hou nodded in agreement.

Brother and sister Sheng Wenyu and Sheng Yao saluted her.

Mrs. Hou suddenly remembered the shock in Zi'an's eyes when she was talking with Zi'an today, and finally a smile...

She doesn't worry about how to be his aunt.

Thinking of Shen Ci's matter, Mrs. Hou's face was sad again. What she was most afraid of was that she didn't listen to what she said, and she didn't care when she heard it.

…

After leaving the garden, Sheng Yao and Sheng Wenyu paced side by side.

"Brother~" Sheng Yao was kind.

Sheng Wenyu looked at her, originally wanted to say something, and finally said concisely, "Ayao, mother and Mrs. Hou don't know about Zi'an, this matter has been turned over, and I also told my mother that this matter will be in the future. Don't mention it again."

Sheng Yao hummed softly.

Sheng Wenyu looked at her again, afraid that she would take her to heart, and continued, "Ayao."

"Huh?" Sheng Yao was surprised.

Sheng Wenyu said truthfully, "Shen Ci has a heart, don't worry about him."

Sheng Yao was surprised that her brother rarely said such things.

He knows that his brother and Shen Ci are better, but because they are older and she is better, he actually has very few opportunities to see Shen Ci and his brother. Sheng Yao heard Sheng Wenyu continue, "He is for his sweetheart, and he can even risk his life. We Ayao don't want such a person."

Sheng Yao was startled, and then laughed.

Sheng Wenyu said warmly, "Do you understand, Ayao?"

Sheng Yao nodded, "Yes."

Sheng Wenyu just put away his earlier tone, and said to Sheng Yao, "Let Jianxing take you back, if there is something on the way, let Jianxing send me a message."

Sheng Yao stepped forward and embraced him.

Sheng Wenyu said softly, "How old."

Sheng Yao smiled, "How old isn't she also your sister?"

Sheng Wenyu also laughed.

"Let's go." Sheng Wenyu touched her head, Sheng Yao seemed to remember something, "Brother."

"What's wrong?" Sheng Wenyu looked at her.

Sheng Yao put her hands behind her back and asked him with a smile, "Brother, do you have someone you like?"

Sheng Wenyu froze, and soon, his face softened, and he said calmly, "Yes."

Sheng Yao was curious, "What does it feel like to like someone?"

Sheng Wenyu's eyes were slightly stagnant, and he said slowly, "It's restraint."

Sheng Yao was surprised.

Sheng Wenyu turned around, "Go back early, don't delay on the way."

"Okay." Sheng Yao responded.

Looking at Sheng Wenyu's back, Sheng Yao smiled again, her brother is the best brother in the world, no one.

Sheng Wenyu asked his confidant, "Where is the peace?"

Before leaving Miaocheng, he had to meet him.

The confidant replied, "General Shen is in the post house. The few people who followed General Shen earlier came back and are talking to General Shen at the post house."

Sheng Wenyu nodded, "Okay, you will take A Yao back to Fengzhou later, and I will see Uncle Lu later."

***

In the inn, Xue Chao, Guo Zixiao and Xiao Wu had already returned.

This trip to and from Lizhen was a little tight, but in fact, I looked at Yunniang and reported to Yunniang that the general and His Majesty were safe, and we almost had to rush here. In this way, he almost missed the general and left for Beijing.

Xiao Wu pouted, "General, do you really want to go back to Beijing instead of Licheng?"

These words came from Xiao Wu's mouth, but it was also Guo Zixiao and Xue Chao's voice, and everyone had disappointment in their eyes.

If the general does not return to Licheng, then the border of Licheng...

Since the last time he was injured, Shen Ci was used to leaning his arms around the corner of the table. Right now, it was the same. He looked at them, but his thoughts were what Chen Ling said last night - self-care, stay. By my side, don't go anywhere, don't care about anything... If you don't go back to Licheng, don't care about Harmiya, go back to Beijing with me and Anian, and you don't care about border issues...

Right now, looking at Guo Zixiao, Xue Chao and Xiao Wu, he couldn't say anything.

"I want to **** the emperor and the prince back to Beijing. The rebellion of King Tan will be settled. There are still many rogues and people waiting for revenge. The road is not stable. I want to confirm that the emperor and the prince return to Beijing safely." Shen Ci whispered. .

Xiao Wu scratched his head, "Isn't there Ziyiwei by the emperor's side? It's amazing..."

Guo Zixiao and Xue Chao both took the opportunity to look at Shen Ci.

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "You go back first."

The three of them all looked at him eagerly, and every time the general said the words "you go back first", he would say, "I will chase after you after I get better."

But this time, no.

All three were nervous.

The three of them looked at each other, and even Guo Zixiao, who was calm in the post house, couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "General, you really won't go back to Licheng, will you?"

Xue Chao was also a little uncomfortable, "General, we..."

Shen Ci said as calmly as possible, "The Huaicheng Rebellion has just settled, Fuyang County is still in the aftermath, and there are still many Tan Jin's henchmen in the court. If China is not stable, the border will not be stable either, which will bring disaster to Chiyu.”

When Shen Ci said this, several people seemed to suddenly realize.

Especially Xiao Wu, "That's right! The general is still thoughtful."

Guo Zixiao was also happy, "Don't worry, General, with us and Lao Han here, there will be no chaos in Licheng!"

Shen Ci felt guilty.

Only Xue Chao looked at him and seemed to notice something, but he didn't reveal it.

Still Xiao Wu continued to be happy, "The general will leave for Beijing tomorrow, and we will also return to the border gate. General, we will wait for you in Licheng~"

There is hope in the small five eyes.

Shen Ci avoided the important and took it lightly, looked for the other thing and asked, "By the way, there is one more thing, Zixiao, the last time you told Han Guan that the group of people in Xi Rong disappeared out of thin air, and finally found out that it was the time when they were drugged. Before or after learning about Harmia?"
