Yu'er held the pen and followed Shen Mi to write the three words "Murong Che" on the rice paper stroke by stroke.

His hands were small and he couldn't hold it steadily, but he still listened to Shen Mi and didn't complain at all the time.

It was early summer, the weather in Jingzhou was gradually getting hotter, and the chirping of birds in the courtyard penetrated my eardrums.

The sunlight shone into the room through the window, falling on Shen Mi and Yu'er, adding a bit of comfort.

After writing Murong Che's name, Shen Mi held Yu'er in her arms, put away the white rice paper, and put down the pen in her hand.

"Can you write Daddy's name?"

Yu Er shook his head, "No."

Shen Mi smiled and said, "If you don't know how to do it, can we write it tomorrow?"

"Okay, Yu'er will listen to mother."

"Mother, I want to go out and play with Sister Siqin."

Shen Mi pursed her lips, picked up the little meat ball from her arms and put it on the ground.

"Go."

"kindness."

The little guy pouted, clenched his fists, and went out the door.

Looking at Yu'er's leaving back, Shen Mi was in a trance for a moment.

It seems as if everything in this life is a dream, and it feels somewhat unreal.

She lowered her eyes and thought about the days she spent in Yanjing.

She missed Shen Li, the Fourth Master, the people of the Shen family, her uncle, and Yun Lan.

Now, it has been exactly three years since I left Yanjing.

During these three years, she gave birth to Yu'er and spent three ordinary years with Yu'er in Jingzhou.

During these three years, she had also asked people for information about Murong Che and the Shen family.

Murong Che was imprisoned in Jingxin Temple by the retired emperor.

Yun Lan was sent back to the Shen family silently by the Ji family. Later, it was heard that she went to the border, stayed with Jiang Xuan, and married Jiang Xuan.

After Zhang Huaian ascended the throne, although Shen Li was welcomed into the harem as a concubine, she was never made empress.

In order to help Zhang Huaian secure his throne, Emperor Ren De arranged for Fang Banxia, ​​the daughter of the Prime Minister, to marry Zhang Huaian, and also intended to make Fang Banxia the queen.

Zhang Huaian strongly opposed it and finally alarmed the retired emperor. In the end, the position of queen did not fall to Fang Banxia or Shen Li.

Fang Banxia entered the harem, but was only named a concubine.

She had the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Zhang Huaian never favored her once.

Abbot Xuanming once said that Shen Li is a phoenix name, and if she wants to sit on the position of queen, she will probably have to go through several twists and turns.

After the autumn examination, although Shen Feng did not win the top prize, he still won the third place.

As for Shen Yu, he and Su Rong followed Jiang Xuan and killed countless enemies.

After Su Xun became the top scorer in the imperial examination, he gradually became Zhang Huaian's confidant.

Three years have passed, and everyone's life has returned to normal.

Shen Mi thought about taking Yu'er to Yanjing when he was older.

His separation from Murong Che was destined by God.

Perhaps we are reunited in the dark.

A few days later, a carriage arrived outside the mansion.

The carriage curtain was opened, and a nanny who was about forty or fifty years old got out of the carriage.

Led by Siqin and Ziying, she went to meet Yu Zian and Shen Mi.

In the front hall, Shen Mi sat upright on a chair holding the child, looking at the nanny who came in.

The nanny is from the Ji family of Liguo. Today, she came on Pei Rou's orders to pick up Shen Mi and Yu Zian and take them back to the Ji family.

When she arrived at the front hall, she politely bowed to Shen Mi and Yu Zian.

"Miss, sir."

"Madam's intention is to let Miss return to Kyoto as the legitimate daughter of the Ji family."

"Today I have specially ordered this old servant to come and take the young lady and the young master back to the mansion."

Shen Mi looked at Yu'er in her arms and said slowly: "Are you going back so soon?"

"Mammy, if I return to the Ji family as Miss Ji, what should I do with this child?"

Nanny Chang said, "Come back to Kyoto with us."

"But don't worry, young lady. Madam said that after you return to Kyoto, she will have someone protect the young master and will not let him get hurt at all."

"The young master has just started to learn, so he should also learn to read and write."

"Madam will find a respected gentleman in Kyoto to teach him how to read and write."

Shen Mi took a deep breath and lowered her eyes to look at the little meat ball in her arms.

It would be a good idea for Yu'er to go back to Kyoto with him.

But if Emperor Li and Empress Dowager find out that Yu'er is Murong Che's son, the child will be in danger.

She raised her eyes and looked at Nanny Chang, "I can go back to Kyoto with you, but please do not reveal my identity and the child's identity at all."

Nanny Chang said, "That's natural."

Yu Zian glanced at Shen Mi who was sitting on the chair and sighed: "Junior sister, if you are worried that Yu'er's identity will be exposed after returning to Kyoto."

"Why don't we return to Kyoto and announce to the public that Yu'er is my child."

"No." Shen Mi objected immediately.

"Brother, you haven't married yet and have children. If outsiders knew that you have a son before you get married, I'm afraid that the ladies from wealthy families in Kyoto would not want to marry you."

"I can't delay you because of myself."

Yu Zian was silent for a moment, looked at the little girl in black brocade clothes in Shen Mi's arms, and waved at him.

"Yuer, come here."

"Uncle, hold me."

Yu'er was very obedient. He rolled over from Shen Mi's arms and threw himself directly into Yu Zi'an's arms.

"uncle."

Yu Zian took the opportunity to hold him on his knees.

"Yu'er is so good."

"This little bastard likes to wear black just like his daddy."

He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Mi.

"Junior sister, let him go to Kyoto with us."

"Don't worry, the Ji family will definitely protect him."

"When the time comes, at worst we can just say that the child is adopted."

"Now, he needs to find a good teacher to teach him how to read and write."

Shen Mi was silent for a moment.

"That's fine."

Now the Pei family’s blood feud has not been washed away, and my aunt’s revenge has not been avenged.

There is also the revenge of gouging out one's eyes. These blood debts have not yet been avenged, and he must return to Kyoto.

"Then we will set off tomorrow and head to the Ji family in Kyoto."

……

The next day, after Siqin and Ziying packed their luggage, they got on a carriage and headed towards Kyoto.

In the rocking carriage, Yu'er was sleeping soundly in Shen Mi's arms.

It took five days just to travel from Jingzhou to Kyoto.

It was not until noon on the fifth day that the two carriages entered the capital city of Liguo.

The city of Kyoto was bustling with activity, with shouts and hawking sounds ringing in the air, along with the laughter of children on the streets.

In the carriage, Yu'er curled up in Shen Mi's arms and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Shen Mi reached out her hand tenderly and lightly stroked his thick eyelashes, and suddenly felt at ease.

Yu'er looks like the Fourth Master, and even some of his hobbies are like the Fourth Master.

Yu Zian sat opposite the two of them, looked at the mother and son, and curled his lips slightly.

"Fortunately, this child is easy to discipline."

Shen Mi smiled and said, "It's easy to manage. Just listen to mother."

She reached out and touched Yu'er's cheek: "One day, he will meet his father."

Yu Zian sighed and said, "Once everything in Kyoto is settled, I will have someone send you back to Yanjing."

"Emperor Ren De has abdicated now. You have our Li Guoji family as a guarantee. He should not hurt the child."

Shen Mi lowered her head, looked at Yu'er in her arms, and curled her lips slightly.

The carriage gradually went towards the Ji Mansion. Shen Mi put Yu'er on the couch and looked at him quietly.

After a while, noisy sounds came from outside the carriage.

The sound became louder and louder, and Shen Mi's brows furrowed.

"What happened?"

She opened the curtain of the carriage and saw many people from the exile country standing on both sides of the street.

The common people looked at the sedan chair coming from the front and knelt down in unison, chanting the words "living Bodhisattva" over and over again.

"what happened?"

Before Shen Mi could question, she heard the coachman's voice coming from outside the carriage.

"Sir, Miss, it's the eldest princess going out for a parade."

Yu Zian immediately said, "Drive the carriage to the alley first, quickly."

"Yes, son."
