Ma'am, is there someone out there?

Shen Qing saluted and bowed, the Empress Dowager waved her hand and let him sit down.

The winking maid hurriedly moved a chair, Shen Qing sat down, and saw that all the maids and eunuchs serving in the room walked away for a while, leaving only the empress dowager and Shen Qing.

Shen Qing had heard about this Empress Dowager Qi who wholeheartedly worshiped Buddha, and the obsolete old Huan Guogong was her cousin.Perhaps it was the reason for worshiping the Buddha every day, Shen Qing felt that Empress Dowager Qi was extraordinarily kind-hearted and dignified.Thinking of Empress Dowager Qi, Shen Qing thought of the very abrupt gift in his dowry.

The sword and dagger were all gifts from the Queen Mother.

Shen Qing had to think about what the Empress Dowager had to do with Lu Chen, and why he was rumored to enter the palace today.

"Don't be nervous, Aijia just wants to tell you something." The Queen Mother said suddenly.

Shen Qing eased his expression, and denied: "The little one is not nervous, just curious."

"It should be curious. Aijia thinks, you must be confused at this time. Aijia is just bored and wants to talk to someone. This palace is too boring. There is no anger at all. Even my wife is bored." Very." The queen mother said, and patted the hand of the queen who was sitting quietly and had no sense of presence, "It's a pity that the queen and Ai's family are bored in this palace together."

The queen shook her head: "The queen mother is joking, the concubine is not bored."

"It's not boring, look at those girls, they can fall asleep after listening to my chanting every day." The queen mother smiled and said, "But it's not that you have to read the scriptures." She only did these things .

Seeing that the Empress Dowager suddenly became depressed and lonely, Shen Qing said: "If the Empress Dowager feels bored, why don't you go out to the palace for a stroll, you don't have to go too far, the capital is very lively. The general and I just arrived in the capital, and I thought there were interesting things in the capital Quite a few. Even many women often come out to play, watching operas and listening to music is very interesting. I am very interested in many things in this capital. When the Empress Dowager wants to go shopping, the general and I have time to accompany you." In fact, Shen Qing said this The words were a bit out of line, but for some reason, this kind-hearted queen mother made him unable to stand up guard.

After hearing Shen Qing's words, the Empress Dowager didn't feel offended, and smiled happily.After laughing, she suddenly asked something unclear, "I wonder if you are not used to this capital?"

There was a hesitation in Shen Qing's heart, are you not used to it?The queen mother asked this question... the original body was born and raised in the capital, and it has only been six or seven years since he left the capital, but it is not worth staying in the capital for more than ten years.He listened, as if he was asking Lu Chen from the capital who left at the age of seven.

The Empress Dowager's question was unclear, and Shen Qing also answered the question inappropriately.

"The general likes to eat sweet and sour snacks, and the ones sold in the capital are not as authentic as those in Qingzhou, so he is still very upset." Shen Qing answered the wrong question, but calmly waited for the queen mother's reaction.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother's reaction was not what he expected.

"He...does he like to eat these? There are many southern chefs in the palace. If you want to eat, Aijia will let the imperial dining room do it now." The queen mother even stuttered, and then felt her gaffe, took He lifted his handkerchief to hide his expression, "It's rare to meet someone with the same taste as Aijia, which made Aijia a little excited. Aijia...my...my hometown is also Qingzhou. I haven't been to Qingzhou for some years, and I almost forgot about it. What's going on?"

The queen on one side also saw the excitement of the queen mother, and held the queen mother's hand.

"Qingzhou still looks like good mountains and rivers." Shen Qing looked natural, as if he had never seen the empress dowager's gaffe, "Xuan Shen is... living a very good life now."

Shen Qing said these words calmly, but he was betting on this possibility in his heart.

The queen mother was silent, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, and said after a long time: "That's good."

"Queen, you go out first, the general's wife and I have to talk alone." The queen mother ordered the queen, and the queen left. For a while, there were only two people left in the room where the cigarettes were curling up.

The agarwood in the room is very strong.The white jade Avalokitesvara in the hall is like saving all sentient beings, with compassion in his eyes.The queen mother stood up, picked up a stick of incense and wanted to light it, but her hands were shaking, and she couldn't light it no matter what.Shen Qing couldn't see it, took the incense in her hand and lit it.

Shen Qing bowed to Guanyin with his hands together, and inserted the incense.When he lowered his head, the jade pendant around his neck hung down.

"You probably guessed it." The queen mother stared at the jade pendant on his neck, which she put on for Xiao Lu Chen, but now it is on this man.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, yes." Shen Qing replied.

"You said he was doing well?"

Shen Qing thought about it for a while, and knew every day that Lu Chen, who was like a child who hadn't grown up, thought of ways to toss with Xiaobao together, smiled and nodded.

"That's good, that's good." The Empress Dowager clasped her palms together, and bowed to Guanyin in front of the stage again and again, Amitabha, bless my son. "Aijia has something, you take it back and give it to him."

Shen Qing held a small cage and walked slowly towards the palace gate.The box was given to him by the Empress Dowager. It wasn't heavy, but it made him feel heavy.Shen Qing opened it and looked at it, the contents inside were very simple, a pack of pine nut candies, and a few jacket vests that seemed to be sewn by himself.

"I don't know if it fits well. If it's too big or too small, I can wear it by changing it."

This is what the Empress Dowager said when she handed it over to Shen Qing.She never said everything clearly, and she seemed to say everything.

Shen Qing opened the box and sighed.

Just at this moment, an arrow with no arrowhead shot towards him, and then fell into his box.Shen Qing picked up the arrow from the box, looked around, which kid is playing with this in the palace?

The arrow has only the body and no arrowhead, and it is also very rough, as if it was cut out of bamboo carelessly.Shen Qing muttered, and saw a child in his nineties running over with a rough bow in his hand.

"Your arrow?" Shen Qing shook his head, wondering in his heart, how could there be a child in the palace, although this child looked sloppy, his clothes were not something a palace maid and eunuch could wear.Moreover, this kid actually looks like Lu Chen?

The child who came was Wu Xin.

He nodded obediently.

Shen Qing returned the arrow to him, and asked: "Child, what's your name?"

"Wu Xin." Wu Xin was very excited when he took back the arrow, "Big brother, who are you? I haven't seen you in the palace before!"

"Of course you haven't seen me, this is my first time in the palace." Shen Qingduo glanced at the bow in his hand, "Your bow is going to break." Shen Qing was not sensitive to the name Wu Xin, and for a while Didn't even think about who he was.

Wu Xin hugged the bow in frustration, "I made this according to the book, but I didn't do it well." No one made it for him, so Wu Xin had to grind it out bit by bit according to the drawings in Zangshuge.Wu Xin is still very proud of himself. He has learned to read by himself, reading all kinds of books in Zangshuge, and guessing the words he doesn't know.But the bow was still not ready.

"Give it to me, I'll fix it for you."

Shen Qing couldn't see it, so he took his arrow and began to work hard.Maybe it's because he has brought Xiaobao too much. Now that he sees obedient and well-behaved children, he will pay more attention, especially this child looks like Xiaobao who has grown up a few years.However, Xiaobao is fat and puffy, but not as thin as this kid.Shen Qing pondered whether Xiaobao's daily horse gait training would be effective.

Shen Qing still learned a lot in the military camp, and bow repairing was one of them.Wu Xin's eyes lit up, and he praised Shen Qing.

"Big brother, you are amazing!"

Shen Qing smiled: "I'm not very good, I only know a little superficial kung fu. I learned this in the military camp."

"You've been to the military camp before!" Wu Xin became even more curious, his beautiful eyes twinkled, "Is the military camp very powerful?"

"It's amazing, it's amazing." Shen Qing imitated Wu Xin's tone and said exaggeratedly, this kid is amazing no matter how you look at it.

"However, the most powerful one is my general."

"Your general?"

Shen Qing repaired his bow and praised Lu Chen: "My general is the majestic General Lu Chen. How about it? Is it fierce?"

"Wow!" Wu Xin praised again and again, "Why is it your general?"

"Because..." Shen Qing glanced at the child, and said shamelessly, "Because, I am his wife."

"Madam? But aren't you a man?" Wu Xin didn't know much about General Lu's wife, and this was the first time he had heard of it.

"What's wrong with men, men can't be wives?" Shen Qing looked at him and said, "Being a man can't be so superficial."

"However, you can't be so shameless and yelling everywhere." Wu Xin's eyebrows twitched, Shen Qing, a big man being someone else's wife, is not ashamed, but proud of his attitude, which is completely different from his cognition. .

"Why can't you shout, is this a shameful thing?" Shen Qing patted him on the head, "General, he is the person I love the most. He is respected by others. Of course I am honored to be his wife. What's the matter?" It's so shameful. Oh, don't you think I shouldn't accept this identity so calmly as a man, don't you?"

Wu Xin nodded, it seemed so.

"You're making a big mistake here. When I'm with the general, there will always be someone who will be the wife. It doesn't matter whether he is the wife or I am the wife. It's just outsiders listening. People live in this world, Trying to make a false name will only hurt yourself. It’s better to admit it openly.”

Wu Xin rubbed the back of his head, but didn't understand.

Shen Qing shook his head, it really was a child.

"In short, when two people are together, happiness is the most important thing. A false name, just let it go." After saying that, Shen Qing repaired the bow, "It's done, try it."

Holding the bow and arrow, Wu Xin thanked Shen Qing repeatedly.He thought this uncle was very interesting, although he didn't understand a little of what he said.but……

"It's a blessing to be confused." Shen Qing patted his head and said, "Little brother, I'm leaving first, see you when I have a chance."

As Shen Qing said, he picked up his box and walked away gracefully.Ah, at this point in time, the early morning will not leave early.Thinking of this, Shen Qing hurriedly quickened his pace, if Lu Chen was made to wait anxiously, it would be bad.
