Jingshu was only concerned with eating and playing with small toys, and did not notice the strange atmosphere between the three adults in front of him.

Although Zi Yi was young, he had a more mature mind than his peers. He had long since sensed that something was wrong between his parents — and he had also heard rumors that his father was going to marry that princess.

He was even more worried about his mother.

"Yi'er, what are you daydreaming for?"

Ming Yuchen's slender fingers were pinching a peeled grape and stuffing it into Zi Yi's mouth. Her long and narrow eyes saw him stare blankly for a moment, and then she laughed lightly and asked.

Zi Yi came back to his senses. "I was thinking about my parents. Tell me, if my father were to really marry that princess, what would happen to my mother?"

Having stayed by his mother's side for so many years, he had never imagined that such a day would come …

At this moment, the musicians and dancers in the palace were performing.

Ziyi lowered his voice, afraid that his parents would hear.

After he finished speaking, he once again looked towards his parents, and in the end, looked at the chattering Princess Qi Kingdom.

"I don't know either, but with your mother's personality, she absolutely cannot accept the princess marrying your father."

Hearing Ming Yuchen's words, Zi Yi couldn't help but sigh as well.

He seemed to have thought of something as he raised his head to look at Ming Yuchen, "Big Brother Yuchun, when your father married someone else, was your mother unhappy as well?"

Ming Yuchen was startled, but immediately after, a look of sadness flashed past his eyes. He laughed at himself and shook his head, "I don't know either, at that time my body was weak and sickly, I wasn't by father and mother's side most of the time. What's more …" Moreover, his own mother had given up on him, wanting him to perish on his own.

"And what?" Zi Yi asked curiously.

"It's nothing, Yi'er, do you think that men should have three wives?"

Ming Yuchen looked at him very seriously, his black eyes hiding many emotions.

Ziyi had never thought of this before …

He thought about it seriously, "I shouldn't. At the same time, I won't either. The people I want to marry are definitely similar to my Mother.

Ming Yuchen lifted her lips, lightly caressed Zi Yi's head, smiled in her eyes, and said with a low voice that was close to deep affection, "In my entire life, I only want one person. As long as he loves me, I can give up everything, regardless of the ethics of the world. "Before when I was reading books, I kept mocking those kings who do not love women, but when I met someone, I knew that nothing in the world could compare to him."

Zi Yi understood and knew that Big Brother Yuchun now had someone he liked, that kind of special —

But he should be happy for Big Brother Yuchun, why is his heart feeling a little uncomfortable?

After the singing and dancing ended, the banquet came to an end.

Shen Zhu used an excuse and said it had to be convenient, he then went out to get some fresh air.

Before they had even walked a few steps, Rong Yin had already followed them out.

Rong Yin called out to Shen Zhu, his voice cold and respectful.

"Madam, the princess likes you very much. I hope that Madam can get along well with the princess."

Shen Zhu was not in a good mood, her tone was stiff. Seeing that he still had more to say, a look of depression flashed past her eyes.

"Did Imperial bodyguard Rong stop me just to say that?"

Get along with him? She was a princess after all, how could she not get along with him?

"I've been here for a few years. Judging from her accent, she doesn't seem to be someone from Beijing."

Shen Zhu nodded, "I was just following … The person who followed her husband and his family into the capital was previously just a destitute countryside girl. "

"Is there anyone else in the family?" Rong Yin asked.

"My parents are alive and I have a few brothers and sisters, but I don't see much of them." Shen Zhu bit the corner of his mouth, he really did not want to bring up those people.

"I've heard that Madame has three children? This is such a good fortune! "

"I was lucky."

After Shen Zhu finished speaking, he looked at Rong Yin suspiciously. He did not understand why he wanted to know about her family's matters.

"Rong Yin just thought that Madam looked very similar to an old friend, and hence asked a lot of questions. I hope that Madam does not take offense to this matter."

Rong Yin also knew that his question just now was a bit abrupt.

"Just some trivia."

Shen Zhu shook his head to show that he did not mind.

"Then I'll go back first."

Rong Yin turned, and waited for her to enter the hall before returning.

After the banquet ended.

Mu Qingling brought Rong Yin and followed Shen Zhu back to the Minister Mansion.

Once he got out of the carriage, Mu Qingling pulled Shen Zhu and walked in, chattering non-stop.

Su Zongwen followed the two of them, and just as they stepped through the door, he was called over by the Prince Su, saying that they had something important to discuss, and that the crown prince would be taking action soon.

Su Zongwen's lips moved, looking at Shen Zhu's beautiful silhouette that was gradually disappearing in the distance, she sighed heavily and turned to follow the Prince Su.

The instant he turned around, Shen Zhu glanced back. Seeing him leave as if he did not miss him, his heart once again hurt.

"Sister, what are you looking at?" Mu Qingling followed her line of sight, but saw nothing.

"Nothing."

Shen Zhu shook his head, looking tired. He brought Mu Qingling to the room where he lived with Su Zongwen.

Seeing the two entering the house, Rong Yin quickly hid in a corner with no one around, he immediately took out a piece of paper and a pen from his chest and wrote down a report to the Emperor. He then placed the piece of paper into a small bamboo tube as thick as a thumb, and whistled, causing a black pigeon to fly down from the tree and land on his arm.

He tied the tube to its leg and let it fly again.

Within the room.

Shen Zhu and Mu Qingling sat on the bed —

"Sister, I haven't finished with you yet. I was very mischievous when I was young and often pissed off the teacher. Once, I just took advantage of him dozing off to cut off his beard! Hahaha, after he woke up, he almost died from anger, so he ran over to Royal Father to complain. "

"Also, there's a large lotus pond in the palace. It looks really nice when summer comes, and lotus roots can be eaten in the fall as well."

"Elder sister …"

"Princess, your status is honorable, why must you suffer so much?"

He had been wronged by the fact that he could only be an equal wife to an official.

Shen Zhu could not resist interrupting, and said softly, looking at Mu Qingling with an even more complicated expression.

Mu Qingling was full of energy just now, and what he said also made no sense.

"What did sister say?"

she asked.

Shen Zhu laughed and shook his head, "Nothing."

He turned his head and sighed. Looking at the round moon outside the window, his eyes brimmed with a myriad of thoughts.
