She fell out after crying at the wrong grave

On the day she finished her confinement, Jin Zhaoyi moved out of Changsheng Hall.

No, now she should be called the Queen Mother.

Although she had not been officially crowned yet, the Shanggong Bureau had already sent the Empress Dowager's clothing and crown, and she had also changed into a new set.

The child was placed in the cradle and was sleeping soundly.

Jin Niuniu changed into a palace dress embroidered with a silver phoenix and sat beside him, rocking him gently. "Go to sleep, Ji'er."

Shen Ji, this is what she entrusted to A'an. A'an took some time out from her busy desk to write it down by hand and had it delivered to her, specifically to fulfill her wish - to give the little prince a name.

It means hope.

Jin Niuniu was very satisfied and felt that A'ao seemed to have a telepathic connection with her.

"Your Majesty." Zhuiyue asked cautiously, "His Royal Highness Prince Yi is still waiting for you at the palace gate."

There were only a few of her palace maids left in Changsheng Palace, and they were all packing up their things, preparing to move to Tingfengtai.

Jin Niuniu didn't even raise her head. "No, I'll go out the back door in a while."

Zhuiyue responded, but did not dare to ask more questions. He stepped out and directed people to carry the box.

She arrived late, so she didn't know much about what happened between Jin Niuniu and Shen Yuren.

However, for more than ten days, Prince Yi persisted in asking for an audience, but the Queen Mother refused.

It was simply because when Jin Feng broke into the palace at the critical moment, Shen Yu still avoided him and did not ask what was happening outside the door at all. She also did not care that she was forced to hold her child and survive under the blade on the second day after giving birth.

In fact, they all knew that there would be no real danger at all, but Jin Niuniu was still scared.

When a woman is at her weakest and most helpless, she wants her lover to be by her side, but where is he?

No, we shouldn’t be lovers anymore.

A man's tenderness is only as good as his will. He may treat you as a precious jewel today, but he may discard you like a worn-out shoe tomorrow.

She thought and thought in countless dark nights, and her burning heart slowly cooled down like the fallen leaves in autumn.

There is something unethical between them.

Perhaps this is an excellent opportunity to correct her mistakes and prevent her from falling deeper into trouble.

Jin Niuniu's eyes were dim, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart.

It’s like being reluctant to give up something.

Perhaps it was that fleeting glimpse in the flower garden of the palace.

But life is like the vast mountains and seas, and being moved is just a fleeting moment, nothing more than that.

She got what she wanted and became the Queen Mother of Da Chong. From then on, no one threatened her anymore. The good days of seeing the light of day again were all given to her by A'ao and Zhao Hou.

In fact, if A'ao had not taken out the ginseng left for her by Queen Chen, she would have died in childbirth that night.

"Zhuiyue, is the sedan ready?" Jin Niuniu asked as she picked up Ji'er and walked out of the palace.

Zhuiyue came over quickly, "Everything is ready, do you want to go over now?"

"Yeah." She nodded, the phoenix hairpin on her temples swayed gently, and she became thinner, like a magnolia in the wind, but with a little more indifference.

"A few days ago, I asked someone to take the remaining old ginseng to the Shangshu Mansion and give it to the princess. Has it been done?"

Zhuiyue supported her and walked all the way to the back door of Changsheng Palace, explaining all the way, "It's done. I'll hand it over to Your Highness in person, along with the precious medicinal materials you requested."

Jin Niuniu felt relieved, and the two of them walked through the corridor in silence and went out from the corner.

The next moment you step over the threshold, an uninvited guest comes uninvited.

Shen Yu was still standing in the wind, the cloak on his shoulders fluttering in the wind, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

But Jin Niuniu didn't care.

She was a little annoyed and turned to look at Zhuiyue.

Zhuiyue understood and shook her head timidly, "Madam, really no one said..."

"Don't blame them. I came here because I guessed you would avoid me." Shen Yu still spoke in a low voice and kept a low profile. "Can I have a few words with you?"

One is the queen mother and the other is a prince.

Two people stood at the back door of the inner palace and said such ambiguous words.

The people carrying the sedan chair, including Zhuiyue who took over from Ji'er, all moved away from here at the Queen Mother's signal.

"Let's make a long story short. I have something important to do." Jin Niuniu avoided his eyes.

Before meeting her, Shen Yu had thought of many ways to start the conversation. But when he really stood in front of her, he seemed to be drugged and couldn't say a word.

I want to ask her if she is doing well, if she is feeling better, and if the food is not to her liking. She looks much thinner than when she was pregnant.

In the past, her face was plump and round. At first glance, you could tell that she was a girl with sufficient blood and a healthy body, which made people like her.

Becoming a mother changed her a lot.

Although her features were gentle, they could not conceal her paleness.

"If you can't say it, forget it." Jin Niuniu was aware that she was very tolerant.

"I did wrong."

Just as Jin Niuniu turned around, Shen Yu continued to speak quickly, "I was wrong. I left you alone in the palace, and you were abducted by your father. I made you worry and fear. It was my fault."

At first his tone was excited as if he was afraid that she would go away, but then it suddenly became lighter as he listed all the bad things he had done.

"I thought you would be with Yuan Ning, and she would always protect you. So...so I asked someone to pretend to be me and stay in the palace, and go to the city to meet General Yuan Wei."

"Really?" She responded casually, "Okay, I forgive you." "Niuniu." He held her wrist reluctantly, calling her nickname, a barely perceptible nervousness dissipated in the wind along with his gentle words.

Shen Yuren lived the first half of his life in a muddle.

He was despised and bullied since childhood, but he got used to it. Thanks to his mother's hard work day and night, he had the opportunity to learn some knowledge.

When he was in his teens, his mother died. In a fit of anger, he traveled to Yuzhou on a merchant ship, mingled with various gangs, played many tricks, and founded the Beitang.

When I was in my twenties, I was also a frivolous and rebellious person.

After nearly ten years, he was tired of everything. It just so happened that with his efforts, the Shen family would be completely extinct, thus fulfilling his mother's resentment before her death.

So he dropped everything and returned to the palace, becoming an inconspicuous gardener, intending to just get by like this for the rest of his life.

Until it rained that day, he didn't have time to open an umbrella, so he went to save the newly planted seedlings. He was soaked and covered in mud.

She was wearing a bright palace dress, had a pretty face, and was standing on the gravel path beside the flower bed with an umbrella to shield him from the rain.

She bent over, staring closely at the flowers under her feet, afraid that she would accidentally dirty the hem of her skirt.

so cute.

Rather than saying that she was attracted by his beauty, it would be more accurate to say that he fell in love with her at first sight, even though he was a 30-year-old man.

So when they met for the second time, he was desperate and willing to get together with her under her so-called temptation.

As a young girl who had just married, she didn't know what seduction was. Her poor skills and awkward flirting were just excuses to hide her nervousness.

Then there was Ji'er.

So when A'ao came to persuade him, Shen Yu still hesitated and broke his oath to die in the wilderness.

I can't let her have an affair with him like this for the rest of her life.

Shen Yu still participated in the campaign to support the king, but he did not expect that A'ao would act faster and directly force Shen Zhuo to death.

Heng Zhi was a very resourceful person. He did not openly destroy Bei Tang, but secretly used tactics to disintegrate it, without wasting a single soldier, and thus broke Shen Yu's nearly ten years of efforts.

He had nothing left, and was afraid that Ah-yi would turn against him and abandon him after having used him, so he had to earn some credit for himself.

Shen Yu still secretly transported the palace gate defense map out of the city and into Yuan Chengxin's hands. In addition, his enthronement was personally manipulated by A'ao, so he gained trust.

When the city was broken on the second day, Shen Yu still opened the four corner gates of the palace personally to allow Hengzhi's troops to sneak in, which saved a lot of effort when they attacked from both inside and outside later.

He is happy to do such a pleasing thing.

"Don't call me that. You know I hate this name the most!" Jin Niuniu angrily shook off Shen Yuren's hand. "You also know I hate being ignored the most. In the past, it was my father, my mother, the deposed emperor, and then you."

The wind blew for a while, and both of them calmed down and remained silent for a long time.

"Forget it, Shen Yuren." After a long while, she looked at him quietly, "Didn't our beginning just start with one night of nonsense? Now that the country is settled and I have Ji'er, I can't be willful anymore."

Shen Yu still had deep pain in his eyes, "Is it impossible?"

"No."

She endured the awkwardness in her throat again and again, and in the end, all she left him were just two casual words.

enough.

From the moment her father informed her to enter the palace, she was doomed to never be happy again. Everything she has now was stolen.

Turning around and getting into the sedan chair to leave, Jin Niuniu remembered that Shen Yu still had not held Ji'er in his arms once.

Maybe this is destined.

But she didn't know how long Shen Yu stood in the wind and watched after she left.

"so."

Ah'ao sat beside Jin Niuniu's bed, hugging Ji'er and patting her from time to time, "You caught a cold and stayed in bed for five days because you talked to Shen Yu for a few words?"

"Unfortunately, that's the case." Jin Niuniu collapsed on the bed and told A'an everything that happened that day.

There are so many people in this world who are hurt by love.

"I feel that I have no advice for you, and I can't judge anything. After all, this is your own decision." Ah'ao thought about it, and was afraid that this was too harsh, so she continued, "But it would not be good to ruin your health because of this. Your illness keeps recurring, which must be due to your depression."

"How about this!" As if she was waiting for her to say this, Jin Niuniu jumped up and held Ah's arm with both hands, "I want to rest for a few days, you take Ji'er to play, so that I can have some peace and quiet, okay?"

Ah-yi: “…”

"He is only one month old. We will hold a full-month banquet in the palace tomorrow." Ah-yi felt a heavy burden on her shoulders and felt tired all of a sudden. "I don't know how to raise a child..."

"But." Jin Niuniu's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. "You know, this is Shen Yuren's child. Every time I see Ji'er, his father's dead face keeps replaying in front of my eyes. I..."

The Infinite Heavenly Venerable.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll take care of the baby for you for a few days!"

The moment Jin Niuniu's tears disappeared, A'ao felt that she had been cheated again.

Hengzhi was right. If you want to win against her for sure, there is only one way, and that is to take advantage of her soft-hearted nature.

"Oh, right." Jin Niuniu's expression changed, and she asked as if nothing had happened, "I haven't had time to ask, how is our Prince Consort's injury recovering? Is that old ginseng enough? Otherwise, I'll go to the palace storehouse to find some better ones, and you can take them back to make soup."

"Very well, he's in good health." Ah'ao pursed her lips uncomfortably when she heard her call Hengzhi her husband. "Lord Yan was buried with the standards of a state funeral, and the funeral time has been extended. We've both been busy with this recently, and it's not easy for us to find time to come and see you."

Fortunately, Shen Yu, fearing that she might be hurt by love, changed his usual behavior and took on most of the government affairs himself, so A'ao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he might be about to get promoted.

"I have discussed with Lord Lu privately and want to make Shen Yu the regent king again, tie him up tightly in the palace, and make him work hard for you and Ji'er for the rest of your life."
