The weather was sunny and the sky was sunny. Fu Lingling got up early and started humming an unknown song in the morning. Presumably, she was in a good mood.
"Mufei …" A soft voice rang out, and a small head peeked in from the door as a pair of big eyes rolled around.
However, in Fu Lingling's heart, there was no time left. She did not want to become a slim and graceful girl, because at that time, she would be at the exact same age as flowers and as jade.
Mufei had taught her ever since she was very young, so whether it was when she was young or when she grew up, she had to act dignified and virtuous.
However, Fu Lingling had always loved to play around with people since she was young, so she naturally did not like the etiquette and advice that would cause him a headache.
Furthermore, he was currently at a very playful age. Fu Lingling did not want to find some small friends to play with him at all times. However, there were very few princesses in the palace, so there were fewer friends who could play together with her.
Shen Lihan carried Fu Lingling over so that she could sit on her lap and tidied up the hair on her head before she took a look at her clothes.
"You, you're always so naughty!" His fingers touched the tip of Fu Lingling's nose, his eyes filled with love. This child was the flesh and blood of her pregnancy in October after all.
"Mufei, can this son go outside to play today? It has been many days since I have left the palace of my mother's concubine. " Fu Lingling shook Shen Lihan's arm, her innocent eyes carrying hope.
"Little girl, you only know how to play in your heart. "Well, where do you want to go?" Shen Lihan was helpless. She knew that Ling Yi was acting so cutely because he wanted to go out and play.
"No, there's still mufei in Ling Ling Ling's heart." Fu Lingling heard that Shen Lihan agreed and laughed, "Ling Ling has not decided where to go to play yet, how about we report this to mufei when we leave the house?"
"Sure." "Why aren't you addressing yourself as your son now, like a little adult?" Shen Lihan pinched Fu Lingling's face and said.
"Hee hee …" Fu Lingling only climbed down Shen Lihan's leg with a naughty smile, and ran out after rubbing her hands a few times.
He walked around the courtyard alone, but he was bored to death. After some thought, he decided to let his mufei take him outside. She then turned back to look for Shen Lihan, only to see that her personal servant was talking to her, and vaguely hearing the Consort Xian's name, she quietly stuck to the door, listening for any movements inside.
"Empress, I'm afraid Concubine Xian is in a bad mood these few days. Now that I mentioned this to her … I'm afraid that's not appropriate. " The maid was worried.
It is true that General Shen has just been accepted into the army, he must be suffering. It is inappropriate to disturb her with this matter, I have been negligent. Shen Lihan nodded, "Then you may leave, I'll think about what to do next."
"Yes." The maid nodded and left.
Seeing that the servant was about to leave, Fu Lingling quickly hid behind a pillar and waited for her to leave. Ye Ci rolled her eyes. She had already decided where she would go to play.
On the other side, Shen Qingwan was sitting alone in her room, her heart full of worry. She didn't know who she should talk to. It was hard for her to let go of her father's enlistment, and she could do nothing for her father. She could not even plead for mercy in front of the emperor, which made her feel like she had never been defeated before.
"Concubine Xian!" Shen Qingwan raised her eyes in shock and saw Fu Lingling's small body standing at the entrance.
"Ling'er? Why are you here? Where's your mufei? " She hurriedly walked forward and held Fu Lingling's hand as they walked towards the room. "Sit."
"Mufei's in the palace. I came myself." Fu Lingling sat beside Shen Qingwan and hugged her arm intimately. "I heard that you weren't happy recently, so I came here specifically to send you off."
Shen Qingwan laughed. This child was pretending to be serious, which made her unable to restrain her laughter.
"Good girl. Come, let's have some snacks." Shen Qing Wan pushed the snacks on the table towards Fu Lingling.
Fu Lingling did not hold back, she immediately grabbed the snacks and stuffed them into her mouth. She had previously eaten a snack here, and knew that she had made this herself, it was more delicious than what she usually ate.
However, just as the two of them were getting warm, an unexpected guest arrived at the palace.
"Empress, Imperial Concubine is here." Lian Yun ran in and whispered into Shen Qingwan's ears.
At that moment, a woman in a light pink dress walked into the courtyard.
"Yo, Consort Xian really has a good relationship with Third Princess, but why are you discussing and doing good deeds together?" Liu Chugrong said darkly as soon as he entered the door.
"Discuss how you can not meet someone you don't wish to meet." Shen Qingwan lightly said, her eyes seemed to carry a sharp blade.
"Consort Xian, quickly put away that fake lofty appearance of yours. Now that General Shen has lost the war and has been taken over by the Emperor, your Shen family is really sad about this."
Fu Lingling was frightened by Liu Chu Rong's sudden fierce tone and trembled, which was noticed by Shen Qing Wan. She hid her behind him and didn't take Liu Chugrong's words to heart. She continued to speak expressionlessly, "No need for Imperial Consort to worry."
As Shen Lihan had not seen Fu Lingling all this while, shsshehad come out to look for him. When she first saw Liu Chugrong coming over, he was already a little worried. As such, he followed behind him, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.
All the mothers in the world cared deeply about their children, and now that she had protected her daughter behind her back, her heart felt warm, and she felt even more grateful towards Shen Qingwan.
"Imperial Consort Liu is in a good mood." Shen Lihan walked over from behind her, "Did you manage to serve the emperor well?"
In one sentence, Liu Chugrong didn't know what to say. "There's no need for someone as old as you to interrupt the matter between this imperial concubine and the emperor!" For a moment, he could not find the right words to say.
Shen Qing Wan subconsciously looked towards Shen Lihan and saw her expression change. His heart moved, and he moved to the side. Just as Shen Lihan wanted to move forward, he grabbed her arm.
Shen Lihan finally regained her senses from her anger, but her eyes had dimmed down.
That's right, she was already old. If not, why would the emperor stop visiting her? Even the number of times he looked at Ling Tian was pitifully low. Last time, with Shen Qingwan's help, it took the emperor a lot of effort to care about the two of them.
All of a sudden, Shen Lihan felt a bit of self-pity. Shen Qing Wan could naturally see that, and was a little impatient, she pulled the two of them and left, leaving Liu Chu Rong alone in the courtyard.
"The Imperial Concubine wants to see you off. I will not stay any longer, I will not send you off."
Liu Chugrong didn't feel uncomfortable and walked out proudly.
