Chapter 310
She hopes the other person can understand on their own.
Seeing her mother's serious expression, Xiao Shenxi sat up straight and nodded, saying, "Mother, I understand. I won't say those things again."
“My dear Xiaoxi, although you are not a princess yet, you still live in the palace. You can be lively, but you must not be arrogant.”
"These words would be very inappropriate if others heard them. Even if you have this idea, you shouldn't be so blunt," Shen Qingnian said, extending her slender fingers to gently tap the little girl's smooth forehead.
Little Shen Xi replied in her childish voice, "Mother, I remember. I will never say such things to outsiders again."
Shen Qingnian patted the little girl's soft hair and smiled, "Xiao Xi is so good."
At this moment, Xiao Yanqing ran in from outside the hall.
"Mother, I've come to take Xiaoxi to the Empress Dowager's palace!" Xiao Yanqing first bowed to Shen Qingnian before excitedly speaking.
Today, the Empress Dowager promised to take them boating and releasing small lanterns.
The Empress Dowager doted on the two little ones, and specially ordered people to dig a pond, carry a boat, and make lanterns for them to play with.
Shen Qingnian glanced at the sky outside the hall and instructed, "You must get off the boat when it gets dark. Don't linger, understand?"
The pond inside the Empress Dowager's palace is not deep; it was specially dug for the two little ones. The bottom is paved with blue bricks and there are no water plants to entangle it, so it is quite safe.
The two little ones walked away happily.
She then led Xiaoju to the Imperial Study. The man had been exceptionally busy lately, partly due to the border and partly due to Chen Zheng and his son.
Just as they reached the door of the Imperial Study, Xia Zi greeted them with a serious expression. He glanced at the tightly closed doors, led Shen Qingnian aside, and then said:
"Your Highness, it was General Shen and His Majesty in the Imperial Study."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoju immediately took out a veil from her purse and put it on Shen Qingnian.
"Does Eunuch Xia know why General Shen has come?" Shen Qingnian asked Xia Zi.
Xia Zi sighed and said, "General Shen wants to return to the border, but his mission in the capital is not yet complete, so His Majesty has not given his permission. General Shen has been coming for several days in a row, and His Majesty has not been in a good mood these days."
General Shen has a violent temper, and even when facing His Majesty, his tone is quite bold, which is really unpleasant and affects people as well.
Shen Qingnian nodded: "Eunuch Xia has worked hard, serving the Emperor always requires some effort."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoju stepped forward and slipped a few gold leaves into Xiazi's hand.
Xia Zi touched the patterns on the gold leaf in her hand and smiled, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. His Majesty is troubled by General Shen's matter today. Please comfort His Majesty. With you by His Majesty's side, His Majesty will feel a little better."
After thanking Xia Zi, Shen Qingnian walked towards the Imperial Study.
She had barely pushed open the door to the Imperial Study when she heard the sound of something being smashed coming from inside, accompanied by Song Xuan's icy words: "Shen Zheng, are you getting bolder and bolder? You actually want to leave the capital without being summoned? As the Grand General who protects the country, how dare you do such a treasonous thing!"
Shen Zheng knelt on the ground, his hair ornament knocked off, his hair disheveled, looking somewhat disheveled.
He kowtowed to Song Xuan and said loudly, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Our neighboring country is eyeing us covetously. Please reconsider!"
According to the rules, he should have left the capital long ago, but His Majesty stopped him with various excuses.
Song Xuan was the emperor, and the emperor was the rule. Even though Shen Zheng was anxious, he could only leave the capital after obtaining Song Xuan's approval.
