After passing through towering palace walls, turning corners, and crossing one road to another, with twists and turns, if no one led him, Shen Zhengyang knew that he would definitely get lost inside the palace walls.

It took them a long way to get out of the palace gate.

"Young Master, if you have time, I hope you can come to the palace more often to see the noble master. The noble master is looking forward to the young master coming to the palace to accompany him." Chu Dong personally sent the young master out of the palace gate, and when he saw him sitting in the carriage waiting at the palace gate, he did not forget to help their noble master invite the young master to come to the palace more often to visit their noble master.

Chu Dong was also afraid that the incident with His Royal Highness Prince Fu today would make the young master feel bad about the palace and he would not want to come to the palace in the future. He was a servant beside the nobles, so he knew that the nobles were looking forward to the young master coming to the palace to visit him.

In this harem, once you enter the palace, it is not so easy to leave, and the people in the palace also look forward to their relatives outside the palace every day. Even the nobles do not have that freedom. They just want their natal family to come to the palace to visit them. Except for special times, there are many inconveniences at other times.

Shen Zhengyang was able to enter the palace to visit Shen Guijun because Shen Guijun was favored by His Majesty. Shen Guijun received an oral order from His Majesty, allowing his nephew to enter the palace to accompany him once a year, even if it was just to sit with him for a while and drink a cup of tea.

"Well, I know, I hope you can help take care of my uncle." Shen Zhengyang took a small purse from his hand and stuffed it into the palace servant who sent him out. He also hoped that those who served his uncle would treat his uncle with sincerity.

Although what happened today left him unhappy, he did not think of never coming to this place again. Those people and things had nothing to do with him coming to visit his uncle.

"It is my duty to serve my master. It is what I should do. Please rest assured, young master." The money bag that was stuffed into his hand had already been put back into his sleeve. It was not good to refuse these money and things outside the palace gate, so as not to give people a chance to talk. Chu Dong accepted it and said respectfully to the young master.

Shen Zhengyang nodded, knowing that this was the closest person to his uncle and must be the most trustworthy person.

"Young master, take care."

"Well..."

After taking a last look at the towering palace wall, Shen Zhengyang put down the curtain in his hand, and the carriage left with a rumble.

Seeing the carriage leave, Chu Dong took the palace servants who came out with him and turned back to the palace to report to their noble master.

When he returned to report, His Majesty had already left Cuixiu Garden, leaving only their master in the house. Cuixiu Garden returned to its day-long tranquility, with the palace servants each doing their own thing.

"Master, I escorted the young master out of the palace and saw his carriage leaving." Chu Dong entered the house, saluted their master, and stood up after getting permission, saying respectfully.

"Yes." Shen Meiyue heard that her nephew had gone back, and the smile on her face was gone. It was not a smile of joy for the nephew's arrival, nor a smile of flattery for His Majesty's arrival. Her face was cold and expressionless.

He sat on his nephew's rocking chair, which was given to him by his nephew. He placed it in this room, and it was just right for him to lie down like this.

The child was thoughtful, and he was a good child.

His mother sent a letter to Yang'er, in which his mother mentioned Yang'er's marriage. A few years ago, his mother wrote to him about Yang'er's marriage. At first, he also asked Yang'er, but seeing that Yang'er was not interested and did not understand, he replied to his mother that Yang'er was still young and could wait for two years. However, if we count now, it is time to find a good marriage for his nephew.

But he was not sure about this matter. He slowly rocked the rocking chair and thought slowly.

"Master." After reporting back, Chu Dong did not leave immediately. He hesitated for a moment, but still told his master about meeting His Royal Highness Prince Fu on the road. He lowered his voice and repeated word for word what His Royal Highness Prince Fu said to the young master.

The hand on the armrest tightly grasped the armrest. The thin white fingers showed protruding bones, which showed how hard Shen Guijun gripped the ground.

Anger appeared on Shen Meiyue's face, and his chest rose and fell, which showed that he was really angry.

He could still bear to slap Shen Meiyue in the face, but touching his little nephew was more unforgivable than slapping Shen Meiyue!

"Feng Lingrui, you are really going too far!" Shen Meiyue held the name in her mouth, and the four words behind it almost burst out from between her teeth. Shen Meiyue was so angry that the veins on her forehead hurt. If before this he thought it didn't matter who sat on that position, then at this moment he thought anyone could sit on it, except Feng Lingrui!

The arrogant Prince Fu didn't know that because of his bullying this time, he would have lost the possibility of sitting on that position forever.

If the brothers in the deep palace were easy to bully, they would not be able to survive in this deep palace until now. If Shen Meiyue was easy to bully, he would not have sat on the position of one of the four nobles, and would have died early in a corner of this deep palace, with his body turned white, instead of being alive and well now, better than anyone else in this deep palace.

Never underestimate the people in the deep palace. Often they can accomplish things without any effort that would require thousands of troops outside.

"Master, please calm down!" Chu Dong immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

When he knelt down, several servants in the room followed suit. The palace servants waiting outside had no idea why their master was so angry.

Seeing that all the servants in and outside the room had knelt down, Shen Meiyue suppressed the anger in her chest, leaned back, rested her head on the cushion, closed her eyes, and said, "Everyone, get up. You don't have to wait here. Go outside."

The palace servants waiting outside all stood up and retreated one by one without making any sound.

Finally, only Chu Dong, the attendant beside Shen Guijun, was left kneeling on the ground. He lay flat on the ground without getting up, waiting for his master's punishment. He couldn't even handle such a small matter today, so he deserved to be punished.

"I won't punish you today. It's good that you know where you went wrong. If you can't handle such a small matter in the future, you don't have to stay in Cuixiuyuan." These words without any emotion made people feel cold. Shen Meiyue said without even blinking.

"Master, please forgive me, master, please forgive me." Chu Dong said with a shudder.

Compared with being punished, being driven out of Cuixiuyuan is almost the same as dying in this deep palace, and no one will care about him anymore.

If you enter the palace as a servant, if you follow the right master, you will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. If you follow the wrong master, you will be lonely and helpless in this palace, and will soon disappear in this deep palace. As servants, they hope to follow a good master, so that when the day comes, they can leave the palace with a lot of money and leave this place, and find a good family outside to spend the rest of their lives.

He was lucky to follow the right master. The master was favored, and they served him gloriously. No other servants in the palace dared to bully them, and they lived a glorious life in the palace.

If he was driven out by his master today, he would be buried in this deep palace in a moment, and he would have no hope for the future. "Slave, slave will never do that again, master, please forgive me. If I encounter such a thing again in the future, I will definitely protect the young master even at the cost of my life." The body lying on the ground was trembling, and even the voice was trembling slightly.

Shen Meiyue opened her eyes, looked at the figure kneeling on the ground, exhaled, and said, "Get up."

He knew that he was angry, and he knew in his heart whether this slave who followed him was loyal or not. Every time Yang'er came, Chudong sent Yang'er away for him, and there had never been any trouble.

But this time, it was Feng Lingrui who deserved to die!

He knew in his heart how many people he had who could be used, and Shen Meiyue herself would be reluctant to send people away. He also understood the principle of giving a candy after a beating. Shen Meiyue's tone softened a little, and then she said, "Remember what happened today. If you make any mistakes in the future, you will be punished together. I won't punish you today."

He was still waiting to use people. Who would he find to use after being beaten?

"...Yes, master." Chudong just got up from the ground, and even his feet were still soft.

Shen Meiyue looked at this unpromising servant, not knowing whether to be angry or not. She let out a sigh again, her brows tightly locked, and glanced at the servant standing in front of her. Chudong immediately understood that his master had something to tell him. He looked around, took a step forward, and immediately put his ear over.

The low voice was only audible to the two of them.

After hearing what his master said, Chudong felt his heart beat faster. He suppressed his heartbeat and gritted his teeth, "Yes, master."

From the day he entered Cuixiu Garden and served his master, he had been in the same boat with his master. As long as the master is smooth, they, the servants, will have a good life. If the master makes any mistakes, they will suffer together.

Now he understood what the master wanted to do. Chu Dong's throat rolled, he gritted his teeth, and controlled himself not to tremble. Since it was the master's intention, he would definitely do it for the master, "Master, please rest assured." He said.

"Yeah." Shen Meiyue was satisfied, her face regained its calmness, her breathing was shallow, as if the anger just now had never appeared. Only in the narrowed eyes, there were too many things hidden.

The summer breeze blew the weeping willows outside, swaying gently.

Days in this deep palace, day after day, even if you are deeply favored by the emperor, so what? Appearance is easy to age, kindness is easy to fade, if you really wait until that day, where will he, Shen Meiyue, go?

Will the Shen family behind him still be as peaceful and stable as it is today!

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, as if he was smiling, but not smiling, a shallow arc that disappeared in the next second.
