One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Shen Dong's funeral was over, and Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi temporarily quieted down. Chu Junyi's identity had changed. She would have to spend time preparing for many things, such as his prince's mansion, the ceremony for the promotion of the crown prince's mansion, and the many other items she needed to consider carefully.

Imperial Concubine Xian had suddenly returned with an adult prince, and this prince was exceptionally talented. Chu Junyi had long since become Prince Consort. With this, the status of the princes in the imperial court had changed.

Right now, all of the officials were watching the reaction of the Zhao Family. As soon as this grand concubine came back, the empress was grounded, and the Zhao Family was reprimanded one after another. Although it was Imperial Concubine Li and Jingfei who handled matters of the imperial harem together, Imperial Concubine Xian's rank was higher than theirs. As a result, they didn't know who was actually handling matters of the palace.

Many people were secretly speculating that the reason Imperial Concubine Xian hadn't been able to return to the palace in so many years was probably because the empress had stopped her, which was why she angered the emperor and a series of subsequent events occurred.

At this moment, Shen Ninghua was sitting inside Bu Yunqing's Chichun Hall. There was a plate of fresh fruits beside his hand, "Mufei, don't be busy. How can you eat all of this?"

Bu Yun dismissed the palace maid at the side and sat down on a chair next to Shen Ninghua. "Your body isn't as healthy as it used to be. It's good to eat more fresh fruits."

This was the first time Shen Ninghua had entered the palace ever since Baili Qingfeng had announced Chu Junyi's identity. He felt extremely conflicted as he faced Bu Yunqing. "When I left, I thought mufei …"

Bu Yun smiled and asked, "Do you think I'm dead?"

"Yes." Shen Ninghua nodded and did not conceal his thoughts.

"You are an extremely talented child, and you have resentment towards the royal family, the Shen family, and the Zhao family. That is why I chose to save you, and in a year's time, you have completely learned everything about me, and you have even surpassed me in talent. I did not have a reason to keep you alive, and I did not want to involve you in the future, so I faked my death, and only secretly watched over you."

Shen Ninghua nodded, understanding her concerns. "Mufei, what are your plans for entering the palace now?" It could be said that the hatred between Bu Yun Qing and the Zhao Family would not rest until one of them was dead. Now that the empress was grounded, she would definitely take action. Chu Junyi had just gotten her mother's name back. She didn't want Bu Yunqing to risk his own life.

Bu Yun smiled for me as he looked at Shen Ninghua with praise in his eyes, "Child, you are indeed meticulous in your thoughts. When I saved you back then, I had my eyes set on the fierceness of not wanting to die. For the past year or so, every step you've taken has been worth it, and you haven't disappointed anyone. "I'm afraid you've already thought of it. Since I've returned, I'll have to take revenge myself. I'll make sure to make the empress live a life worse than death!"

Feeling the intense hatred from Bu Yun Qing, Shen Ninghua was shocked, "Mufei, the empress is currently grounded and Imperial Father no longer trusts her. However, she still has the Zhao Family backing her and controls a huge force. We still need to be cautious if we want to take her down."

Bu Yun gave a cold laugh, "You don't need to worry about this matter. Since I have come back, I can't possibly do nothing. "Xiao Hua, your child has been in your womb for almost five months. Be extra careful and don't worry about anything else for now. Jun Yi's bloodline must be safe and sound."

Shen Ninghua placed a hand on her stomach and felt the warmth pulsing through her body. She frowned slightly. "Jun Yi cares about this child, but she also cares about mufei. Now that we're reunited …"

"Alright, I know what you mean," Bu Yunqing interrupted Shen Ninghua. "Don't worry, I still haven't lived enough."

On Bu Yunqing's body, there was no sign of life, just like a rotten tree. Chu Junyi was too happy to notice it, but she clearly saw through it and wanted to advise him otherwise. Unfortunately, Bu Yunqing was not the type of person who would change his mind at will.

The maid at the door came in and knelt on the ground with great respect. "Reporting to esteemed imperial concubine, Auntie Meixue from Ning Kun Palace has come. She said the fresh fruits sent there by the Internal Affairs Division were bad. The empress is currently in a temper."

Bu Yun immediately scoffed, "Take out a porcelain bottle from your sleeve and carefully sprinkle the liquid within onto the fresh fruit on the table. Send these over to Ning Kun Palace. Tell them that I have already punished the Internal Affairs Division. It is truly a sin to neglect the Empress. One day, I will definitely apologize to the Empress." If you want fresh fruits, you can, but I'm afraid you won't dare to eat them!

"Yes."

After returning to the Princess' Mansion, Shen Ninghua's expression was still not very good. Bai Yan went up to her and helped her change into a casual set of clothes. He asked with concern, "Miss, it's been five months since the young mistress started. Have you been tired?"

Shen Ninghua shook his head and said, "It's fine. Is there any activity from the Zhao Family?"

"No, it was very quiet. Ever since two months ago, when the Zhao Family incited the Imperial Censor to question the identity of the Duke of the County and was reprimanded by the Emperor, there was no more movement."

With a slight frown, Shen Ninghua raised her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows. "Alright, you guys can leave. I'll take a break."

Bai Ji and the others carefully retreated.

Shen Ninghua leaned against the headboard and closed her eyes. Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps. She couldn't help but frown as she said somewhat irritably, "Didn't I tell you to get off the bed? Why … "Jun Yi?"

Chu Junyi sat tall and straight beside Shen Ninghua, dressed in a black robe. She gently caressed Shen Ninghua's belly and asked, "Are our children obedient today?"

Shen Ninghua smiled and said, "Very obedient. She's a carefree child." Just as she finished speaking, she felt a throbbing pain in her leg, causing her to suck in a breath of cold air. "Ah, that hurts."

Chu Junyi was surprised to see her clutching her leg, and knew that her leg was cramping. She had seen this kind of situation before and knew what to do. She pressed her leg down with the appropriate amount of strength. "Xiao Hua, is there any pain?"

Chu Junyi continued to massage her legs. "Ninghua, you entered the palace today. What did mother say?"

The smile on Shen Ninghua's face froze for a moment. "It's nothing much. I just chatted about some mundane things."

"Hm." Chu Junyi's expression darkened. She changed the subject. "You seemed a little irritable just now. Is there anything wrong with that?"

After a moment of silence, Shen Ninghua finally spoke up. "Jun Yi, I've always felt a sense of …" She didn't know what to say, but Chu Junyi followed suit.

"With a sense of death?"

Shen Ninghua suddenly raised her eyes. "You …"

Chu Junyi retracted her hand and closed her eyes. "Don't worry," she said firmly. "I'll get her to give up on this idea. Don't think too much about it, and raise our child well."

Shen Ninghua heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and said with a slight smile, "Alright, I understand."

Chu Junyi put her ear close to Shen Ninghua's stomach. "Good child, you have to be good and listen to me. Don't let your mother suffer anymore. Otherwise, when you come out, your father will punish you."

"He won't understand what you're saying to him." Just as she finished speaking, she felt a weak force from her abdomen.

Chu Junyi stood rooted to the spot, and it took her a moment to raise her head. She was so anxious that she had twisted her neck, but she didn't care. "Xiao Hua, did you just sense that our child has moved?"

Shen Ninghua was also surprised. She carefully placed her hand on her stomach, but there was no response.

Chu Junyi pushed away her hand and once again put her ear close to Shen Ninghua's stomach. It wasn't clear whether it was a coincidence or not, but the moment he pressed his face against Shen Ninghua's, he felt another burst of strength. Chu Junyi pushed away her hand and once again placed his ear onto Shen Ninghua's stomach, but he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or not, but the moment he touched Shen Ninghua's face, he felt another burst of strength.

Seeing Shen Ninghua looking at him with dissatisfaction, Chu Junyi coughed lightly, but the smug look in her eyes didn't fade. "Heh, Ninghua, your son is still very close to you. I'll get someone to prepare some food. His activities and activities are exhausting."

Seeing Chu Junyi instructing Bai Yu and the others to go back and forth, Shen Ninghua smiled slightly. Her fingers caressed her stomach. This child also knew how to feel for his father, and how to let him relax a little.

Thinking about Bu Yunqing in the palace, a trace of determination flashed across Shen Ninghua's eyes. She was just like her past self, who only wanted revenge. When the child in her womb was born, she would see her own grandson. She might even want to live one more day than anyone else, waiting for him to grow up!

After about half a month, Baili Qingfeng had paid his respects to the temple and recorded Chu Junyi's name into the Jade Butterfly clan. Chu Junyi's name had been changed to Baili Junyi, and the ceremony of him being conferred the title of Duke Yi was held three days later.

The Jin Feng ceremony went smoothly this time. Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi had made many preparations, but none of them were of any use in the end. The Zhao Family even sent an especially generous congratulatory gift, as if they were happy to see this happen.

In the evening, Baili Junyi hosted a banquet for the guests at the newly built prefecture lord's mansion. Baili Qingyuan and Bu Yunqing personally came to support the banquet. On this day, the crowd finally saw the legendary imperial concubine.

When they saw her true appearance, many people couldn't believe their eyes. This old woman's ruined appearance was simply too shocking. However, no matter how surprised they were, they didn't dare to show it. All they could do was congratulate and compliment him.

Bu Yun looked at the officials below, his eyes filled with ridicule. Suddenly, her gaze stopped on the Patriarch of Zhao, Zhao Kun. "Lord Zhao, your expression doesn't look good. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhao Kun, who was called out, hurriedly stood up, "Thank you for your concern, esteemed imperial concubine. This humble subject feels chilled and my body is a little unwell. Please do not blame me, esteemed wangfei."

Bu Yunqing coldly looked at his submissive appearance and said, "The recent changes have been a bit too drastic. We should pay more attention to them."

It's already summer, the sun is high in the sky, and you can still get the cold? Then let me remind you, since the sky has changed, it is no longer Zhao Huiying's place, so you have to be more careful! Don't ever die of an accident!

Shen Ninghua kept this scene in mind, slightly covering the smile in his eyes. Two days before the ceremony, Chu Junyi had been at the palace for a long time, so he didn't know what they had chatted about. When Shen Ninghua saw her again, she felt that she had lived much longer than before and had even made many small clothes for her.

Now it seemed that not only did Bu Yunqing have no intention to die, he was also brimming with fighting spirit …
