Mrs. Xue stared: "This matter is related to the Third Master."
Qing Lingyi was stunned: "General?"
"Yes," the old lady sighed, "for some reason, the Third Master dislikes the palace very much. Except for military affairs and government affairs, he refuses to step foot inside the palace gate. In previous years, he always excused himself from entering the palace to pay respects. I I have tried to persuade and scold, but to no avail. This time, Grandma Yun came to invite her to the birthday banquet in person. She has been promoted again. If she doesn't go, I'm afraid His Majesty will be unhappy and even insult Concubine Ming. .”
Qing Lingyi understood: "Mother wants me to convince the general to enter the palace together."
"Exactly."
Qing Lingyixin said that she really found the wrong person, and Cheng Yang didn't even eat her face.
She said frankly: "Mom, I don't know how to persuade her."
"When you are..., tell me, men are the easiest to coax at that time." The old lady said vaguely.
Qing Lingyi didn't hear clearly: "At what time?"
Old Mrs. Xue looked at the innocence on her face and really couldn't say those cruel words.
Thinking of her son's stubborn temper, she felt it was too embarrassing.
The old lady had a temperament that she could take and let go, and she was willing to give up. After thinking about it, she simply resigned to her fate: "Well, if you really can't persuade him, then leave him alone. He won't die after all!"
Qing Lingyi was confused.
"Go back." Mrs. Xue said warmly.
"……good."
Qing Lingyi returned to Yanshan Residence, still thinking about what Mrs. Xue said.
Biwei came up to us and said, "Madam, I have finished checking the accounts for the past two years today. In another two days, all the accounts will be checked, and you can take charge of the house."
Qing Lingyi actually didn't listen much and nodded casually twice.
Bi Wei noticed something strange: "Madam, what did the old lady say?"
"It is said that in a few days it will be the birthday of Concubine Ming in the palace, and our whole family will have to go to the palace to celebrate her birthday."
"Enter the palace?" Bi Wei opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Wouldn't that mean that we would meet Princess Huayang?"
Qing Lingyi was stunned for a moment.
yes! She forgot about this person!
She was in a complicated mood and frowned in distress.
Aunt Zhao walked up from behind and took in this scene.
She remained calm and just saluted: "Madam, I'm really tired, so I'm going back first."
Qing Lingyi nodded: "Go."
After Aunt Zhao left, Qing Lingyi shook his head and got rid of Princess Huayang and some bad memories from the past.
She seemed to be comforting Biwei, but also seemed to be comforting herself: "It's been these years, and I probably won't make the same mistakes again."
Entering the main room, she looked around: "Where's Xiao Anle?"
Biwei was about to speak when a lazy and deep voice suddenly sounded in front of her: "She's back."
Qing Lingyi raised his eyes and met Cheng Yang's gaze.
He stood leisurely with his hands behind his back, and the setting sun outside the side window fell on his shoulders, casting a very long shadow.
Throughout the whole day, after returning from the flower hall, the two of them had not spoken seriously.
Inexplicably, there was a strange atmosphere between them.
Qing Lingyi looked at him for a while, then turned to Biwei and said, "Go and do your work."
"yes."
As soon as Biwei stepped out, Cheng Yang spoke slowly: "You want to see me if you need anything?"

Jade Courtyard.
As soon as Aunt Zhao returned, she lay down on the wide couch tiredly, and Hong Xiu knelt to massage her shoulders and neck.
"Doctor Wu is here." Someone announced.
Aunt Zhao heard it, but she didn't get up. She just opened her eyelids and looked over.
Doctor Wu stood in front of the couch, not daring to look at the waistline outlined by her lying posture.
Aunt Zhao ordered: "You all go out. Close the door."
"yes."
When there were only two people left in the room, Doctor Wu felt a little embarrassed.
"Come here." Aunt Zhao said.
Doctor Wu hesitated briefly, put the medicine box aside, and stepped forward.
Aunt Zhao sat up and threw herself into his arms.
Doctor Wu was stunned: "What...what's wrong?"
Aunt Zhao didn't explain, she held his face and kissed him.
Doctor Wu was stunned by the kiss. Although they had done more intimate things in the past, they would never be so passionate.
He held her down and asked, "What happened?"
Aunt Zhao's eyes were slightly red: "I'm afraid I'll never see you again!"
"Why can't you see me again?" Dr. Wu comforted her, "You and I should be kept secret, so no one will find out."
Aunt Zhao asked, "Do you know where I went today?"
"Yanshanju, I heard about it," Doctor Wu thought, "Don't you want to go? Then you should come to me. I deceived the old lady for you that day. I am Wu Liang's uncle, so I can still Talkative."
"Now I can't do it! Did you know that Accountant Jiao is dead?"
Doctor Wu was shocked: "What?!"
His lips trembled and he asked, "Who did it?"
"Who else could it be..."
Aunt Zhao's words were unclear. As soon as Doctor Wu thought about it, he thought of the newly married third lady.
He frowned: "How dare she treat human life so lightly in broad daylight!"
"Who made the old lady like her?" Aunt Zhao looked helpless, "Now that she has the power of the housekeeper, she can't do anything!"
"The old lady is confused!"
Aunt Zhao closed her lips and let tears well up in her eyes.
Doctor Wu looked distressed: "Why are you crying again?"
Aunt Zhao hugged his waist again and buried her face in his shoulder: "I'm really scared..."
Doctor Wu subconsciously hugged her tightly: "Then what can I do for you?"
Aunt Zhao turned around and said, "Are you willing to do anything?"
Doctor Wu didn't even think about it: "I'm willing to do anything!"
Aunt Zhao finally got the answer she wanted: "I knew you were the only one who loved me the most in this world."
She hugged him and gently bit his ear: "Just in time, I have something here, and only you can help me..."

Yanshanju.
Qing Lingyi was a little surprised: "How did you know something was wrong with me?"
Cheng Yang sneered: "You can't hide anything with this face."
Qing Lingyi did not defend her face and walked forward: "July 16th is the birthday of the Imperial Concubine Ming."
Standing in front of him, Qing Lingyi still wanted to give it a try and said: "General, please enter the palace together."
Cheng Yang raised an eyebrow: "What if I say I can't go?"
Qing Lingyi was not surprised by this answer. She pursed her lips and said, "Then I have to try my best to convince you."
Cheng Yang suddenly reached out and pinched her face.
Qing Lingyi was surprised.
And he lowered his eyes, looked into her eyes, and said in a deep and slow voice: "Qing Lingyi, I have been hungry for a day, how do you still want to convince me?"
Qing Lingyi was dubious: "Have you been hungry all day?"
"Do not believe?"
Just as Qing Lingyi uttered half a syllable of "um", his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Cheng Yang held her hand domineeringly and pressed it against his abdomen.
