"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!" Sun Er saluted.
"Get up!"
Li Junyan said to Sun Er, "Settle the Empress and Aunt Jin in the palace quietly, don't let too many people know."
Sun Er was just focused on looking at Li Junyan. Although he noticed that there were two other people next to him, he didn't see clearly who they were.
Now after hearing what Li Junyan said, he looked over subconsciously.
After seeing the faces of Concubine De and Aunt Jin clearly, Sun Er fell to his knees and said, "Greetings, Concubine De."
Concubine De nodded and said, "It's Sun Er. Get up. Now that you're out of the palace, don't call me Your Majesty. Just call me... Madam Sheng!"
"Yes, Madam Sheng."
When Li Junyan heard the word "Sheng", he immediately understood what it meant.
Concubine De and her mother Concubine Rong were good friends. They had both given themselves pen names, and Sheng Ruoyan was Concubine De's pen name.
Apart from Concubine De, Concubine Rong and Aunt Jin, only Li Junyan knew about this matter.
"Sun Er, my wife's safety is now in your hands. I don't want any accidents to happen before I return."
Sun Er's expression was firm, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will definitely protect Madam Sheng and will never let anything happen to her.
Your Majesty, where are you going?"
Sun Er shouldn't have asked the last sentence.
But Sun Er was worried about Li Junyan's safety, and even though he knew he shouldn't ask, he still asked.
"Lin Qi and the others just left the capital, and I want to come back with them."
Only in this way would Defei's "disappearance" have nothing to do with him.
Although Sun Er still didn't understand, he didn't ask any more questions. "Prince, be careful!"
Madam Sheng also hurriedly said, "Lezhi, be careful on your journey! I'll be waiting for you here!"
"Don't worry, I will come back safe and sound."
Li Junyan walked into the door again.
Watching Li Junyan's figure disappear in the room, the transparent door also disappeared. Madam Sheng, Aunt Jin and Sun Er were still a little dazed.
This kind of thing is simply unheard of. No matter how many times you see it, it is always shocking.
Mrs. Sheng was the first to come back to her senses. Only then did she feel like looking around.
The moment she saw the goddess statue, Madam Sheng had a guess in her mind, "Is this... the goddess statue?"
"To answer my wife, this is indeed a statue of the goddess, carved by the prince himself. This is the Goddess Shrine in Tingzhou."
Mrs. Sheng walked to the mat and slowly knelt down.
Thank you, goddess, for your great kindness, for allowing her to leave the palace one day in this life.
Outside the palace, breathing seemed easier.
Aunt Jin followed closely behind and knelt down, bowing with great sincerity.
Aunt Jin was not married, had no children, and no relatives. She only regarded Concubine De as her relative.
I originally thought that I would die of old age in the palace, but I didn’t expect that I would actually leave the palace!
Although I don’t know what the future will be like, no matter what, it will definitely be better than when I was in the palace!
Sun Er watched the two people's actions, did not urge them, but just waited quietly.
He waited until the two men got up, then took advantage of the night to lead them out of the Goddess Temple.
The Goddess Temple and the palace were opposite each other, so there was no need for a carriage. He could lead the two of them back to the palace.
However, just as they reached the entrance of the Goddess Temple, Mrs. Sheng and Aunt Jin stopped and looked at the street lights outside in shock.
"This..." Madam Sheng was surprised. "What is this? A candle? How can there be such a tall candle?"
Sun Er quickly explained, "Madam, this isn't a candle, it's a street lamp. It uses electricity, not kerosene."
Mrs. Sheng's brows were tightly furrowed.
She could understand every word Sun Er said, but why couldn't she understand when they were put together?
What does it mean to use electricity?
What is electricity?
Although Madam Sheng was full of confusion, she knew that now was not the time to speak, so she forced herself to look away and followed Sun Er into the palace.
After entering the palace, I found that there were also so-called street lights in the palace. Although the shapes were different, the light was almost the same.
As I walked along, the road under my feet was clearly illuminated by street lights, which was much more useful than any lantern.
Mrs. Sheng was horrified.
When I was in the palace, I only felt that I was enjoying all the wealth in the world.
But there are no street lights in the palace!
Soon, they arrived at a yard.
This yard is not particularly big, but it is very elegant.
When I first entered the room, it was so dark that I couldn't see clearly.
But with a slight click, the whole room lit up, no different from daytime.
Madam Sheng and Aunt Jin widened their eyes again, "This——"
Sun Er hurriedly explained, "Madam, Auntie, this is also a lamp, used in the house. It is brighter than the street lamp and makes it easier to see everything in the house.
There are quite a few lights and various switches in this room. Madam and Aunt, please show me each one so that I don't have any inconvenience when I need them."
Madam Sheng and Aunt Jin looked at each other and agreed at the same time.
After walking around the room with Sun Er, they both knew how to turn on the ceiling light, the wall light, and the desk lamp.
The brightness of these lights is different and the colors are not quite the same.
But no matter which lamp it is, it is much brighter than a lantern.
Madam Sheng sighed with deep emotion, "They say all the best things in the world are in the imperial palace, but there are so many lamps in the palace, but they can't even compare to this small table lamp here."
