The flowers in the yard have sprouted stamens, and are about to bloom. Spring has come.

Today the sun is good and the weather is much warmer. People in the house have gone out to bask in the sun. A beautiful woman in a long white dress is sitting on a recliner in the yard. Her face is half covered with a gauze, so people can't see her true appearance clearly. The

beautiful woman is reading a book in her hand. She occasionally picks up some tea and dried fruits from the low table beside her and puts them in her mouth.

The child sitting on the couch is dancing and laughing, revealing a few milky white baby teeth.

Jun'er, do you want it? Come over here and I'll give it to you. "Shen Zhengyang was teasing his little nephew, sometimes making the child giggle, and sometimes making the child cry.

The child was born in the late spring of last year, and this spring he is almost one year old, but the child can't walk yet. Outsiders don't know that the noble Shen who died in the deep palace has appeared in the backyard of the Shen family in Nanyang. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the backyard, so Therefore, no one knew that the late emperor's favorite concubine was hiding here.

During the palace turmoil, Shen Meiyue took advantage of the situation and left the palace with her child through a secret passage. Shen Meiyue had long known that Sun Yulin wanted to kill him. The two of them had been fighting for so many years, and there would always be a winner. If the people sent by King Yi had not arrived in time, he would have died under the knife of the people sent by Sun Yulin. It was just that the scars on his face were The scar on his face might be with him for the rest of his life. The scar covered by the veil was a long and ferocious scar.

Shen Meiyue didn't care much about her appearance. In the past, she had to rely on this face to compete for the emperor's favor. Now, she didn't need to care about these things. She could live more freely.

But thinking of the death of His Majesty, Shen Meiyue felt guilty. Since he entered the palace and met His Majesty, His Majesty had been very good to him. If it weren't for His Majesty's favor, he, a boy from a merchant family, would have no place in the harem. But once you enter the deep palace, many things are beyond your control. It's either you die or I die. People are selfish. His own death is not worth a pity. Shen Meiyue doesn't want to implicate the entire Shen family because of him. People live not only for themselves, but also for those who love them.

What he did for King Yi... These things were condemned by his own conscience, and he could not redeem himself in his lifetime.

King Yi kept his promise and sent someone to escort him out of the palace. His nephew outside the palace met him and took him and his child back to the Shen family in Nanyang.

As for the young doctor, Shen Meiyue knew that the young doctor Feng had already married and had a wife and children. He had used him at the beginning, and he did not want to implicate the young doctor again, so he just let him think that he was like everyone else. She and her child died in a fire in the palace, and she no longer had any thoughts about him.

In his heart, he was still grateful to the young imperial physician for helping him. Otherwise, even if he had escaped Sun Yulin's knife, Shen Meiyue would still be lying in the imperial mausoleum today, buried alive with the late emperor.

Without Shen Guijun and the little twelfth prince, this child was not the late emperor's child. Shen Meiyue knew that the King of Yi would definitely not allow the emperor to have a son. The bloodline in the harem was messed up, so it was best to take the child away.

After leaving the palace, Shen Meiyue changed the child's name to Shen Nianjun. Who is this Jun? I'm afraid only he knows. Looking up and seeing his nephew teasing Jun'er, Shen Meiyue smiled and shook her head.

In his heart, he was greedy for the warmth of the Shen family. After all, this was where he grew up and there were his closest relatives. But Shen Meiyue also knew that this Nanyang The Shen family was not a place for him to stay for long. If outsiders knew that he, the dead Shen Guijun, appeared in the backyard of the Shen family, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, which would drag down the Shen family.

Spring is here, and it is time for him to leave.

Shen Zhengyang knew that his uncle wanted to leave. He said that he would send him to Fenshui in the spring, buy a small courtyard there and live there. No one would be able to recognize him and his younger brother if they were hiding their names. Cao Xiangnan and others were there, and they could take care of them if anything happened. The uncle and nephew agreed that they would wait until spring when the boats on the river could run, and Shen Zhengyang would send his uncle and his younger brother to Fenshui. He had already asked someone to buy a courtyard there, and they could live there as soon as they arrived.

A little servant came in and called out "Young Master", and then told them that Young Master Cao had come to Nanyang. "

Great!" Shen Zhengyang was delighted, picked up Xiao Jun'er and tossed him around. The child was not afraid and giggled. Shen Meiyue looked at the ground and was helpless, but she was not afraid that her nephew would drop the child. "Uncle

, I'm going out for a while and will be back later." Shen Zhengyang thought of Cao Xiangnan coming to Nanyang and didn't send anyone to inform him. Did they still consider him a friend? But after he came back from Fengdu, he heard from his mother that Xiangnan had visited the Shen family. He thought he was looking for him, but he had been to Fengdu and had not returned yet, so naturally he couldn't find him. So he hadn't seen Xiangnan for some time.

Go. "Shen Meiyue had often heard this name from his nephew, but had never met him in person. Seeing his nephew praising such a friend, he had a good impression of this person after hearing it many times.

Shen Zhengyang picked up Jun'er and put him in his uncle's arms and ran away.

Seeing that his nephew was not walking steadily at all, Shen Meiyue smiled helplessly, holding the child in his arms and going back to the house, and asked the servant behind him to tidy up the things on the table and chairs. This The wind outside was strong, and he was afraid that the children would get cold if it blew for too long. The spring sunshine was still shining in the small courtyard, and the flower buds were swaying in the wind. When he returned from outside to Yipinzhai, he saw Shen Zhengyang waiting for him. After asking, he learned that Wanfeng and his group had taken the children to the street. Thinking that they would be back soon, Cao Xiangnan did not look for them.

Zhengyang, how did you know I was in Nanyang? "It was no wonder that Shen Zhengyang said that his servants had seen him. Cao Xiangnan laughed and said, "Let's go upstairs for tea." Let's go to the private room and close the door to talk.

The two went upstairs together. The servant made tea and went out, closing the door.

Cao Xiangnan asked about Shen Zhengyang in Fengdu. He knew that Shen Zhengyang had been to Fengdu and had not returned yet. He was worried about Shen Zhengyang, afraid that something might have happened to him on the way.

Later, he heard that Shen Guijun died in a fire, but now that he saw Shen Zhengyang, he felt that there must be something strange about it. Shen Zhengyang was a man whose face showed everything. Seeing him smiling so happily, it didn't seem like his closest uncle had died in the palace.

"I'm here, what could have happened?" Shen Zhengyang waved his hand, looking calm. Little did they know that at that time, if they were not careful, they might have died in Fengdu and not been able to return to Nanyang.

Seeing that Shen Zhengyang was safe and sound here, Cao Xiangnan had nothing to worry about.

Shen Zhengyang lay there comfortably with his legs crossed, and asked Cao Xiangnan how long he was going to stay in Nanyang this time.

"I'm leaving here the day after tomorrow." Cao Xiangnan said that they were passing through Nanyang this time, and that he had to go to Fengdu for something, and he didn't tell Shen Zhengyang what it was. It's not that he didn't trust Shen Zhengyang, but he felt that some things were better known by fewer people, so he didn't plan to tell Shen Zhengyang too much detail.

It's hard to say how long this trip will take, but I think he can come back as late as autumn.

At that time, people had to travel by car. The round trip would take several months. If they went to Fengdu, they would have to wait for a while before coming back. A year had already passed. "Are you going to Fengdu?" Shen Zhengyang's face fell when he heard that Cao Xiangnan was going to Fengdu. He was still thinking about waiting for Cao Xiangnan to go to Fenshui together and bring his uncle over. In that case, he would have to take his uncle there himself. He was still thinking about talking to Cao Xiangnan about his uncle, but now it seems that he should wait until he comes back.

Why are you so disappointed? Are you going with me? But you just came back from Fengdu. It's better for you to rest at home and not run around. "Cao Xiangnan said with a smile. He didn't want Shen Zhengyang to go with them. He went to see the emperor this time and nothing happened.

The two of them agreed to meet in Nanyang after he came back from Fengdu. He would also pass by Nanyang when he went to Fengdu and came back. I'll wait for you to come back." Shen Zhengyang said.

Not long after, Qi Wanfeng and Su Yining and their group came back from outside with the children. Cao Gang and Wang Ye and several men followed them out to the street. Fang Ziye stayed in the room upstairs to rest and did not go out with everyone.

Just when everyone came back, they had lunch together. Shen Zhengyang saw a swarm of children rushing towards him, including his favorite fat boy Le. He hugged him and said, "Le Le has grown a lot taller.

The last time he saw Le Le, he couldn't walk yet. This kid has loved to eat and sleep since he was young. He has circles of fat, which is so cute. What he likes most is that this kid likes to act like an adult even though he is so young.

Let go of the little master! Cao Ruile, who was hugged by Shen Zhengyang, had a wooden face without any expression. He said, "Uncle Shen, put Le down. Le can walk by himself!

"Puchi..." When Cao Xiangnan saw his kid with a face that looked like he was eating the land, his father laughed unscrupulously, took the child and put him down, thinking, who told you that you are still a child and don't allow others to hug you? "This child always thinks that he has grown up and doesn't want anyone to hug him, not even me as his father."

He spread his hands to show that there was nothing he could do.

Daddy." When Baoer saw his father, he climbed over from his mother's arms and wanted to hug him. Cao Xiangnan took Baoer and couldn't help kissing him twice. He felt that he was healed and went upstairs with the child in his arms.

After lunch, the younger ones were taken back to take a nap.

Not seeing Fang Ziye coming down, Cao Xiangnan remembered that he was not in a very good spirits recently, so he mentioned it to Wanfeng. Qi Wanfeng nodded and said, "Well, husband, I would have forgotten it if you hadn't told me. Ziyu seems to be in a bad mood on the way. I'll go see him later." "Okay." The two talked for a few more words, and Cao Xiangnan went out.
