Hidden Sky Light

"Your Majesty." Sheng Yao was blessed and saluted Chen Ling.

Chen Ling looked away from Shen Ci and fell on Sheng Yao.

She recognized Sheng Yao.

Sheng Yao is the daughter of the Marquis of Jianping.

The younger sister of Sheng Wenyu, the son of the Duke of Jianping.

In this crusade against Tan Jin, the commanders of the various garrison troops were all generals, and only the Fengzhou garrison was led by Sheng Wenyu himself.

A long time ago, the Sheng family was also the top wealthy family in Yan Korea, and then gradually declined over time, and became a vassal of the Jingping Palace by the generation of Grandpa Chen Ling.

How many years have passed before another Sheng Wenyu appeared.

Chen Ling naturally remembered Sheng Wenyu's younger sister, Sheng Yao.

Every year on the first day of the new year, officials in Beijing would visit the palace, and princes and vassal officials from all over the country would also visit the palace in turn. Sheng Yao went to Beijing with his brother and met Chen Ling.

"Why are you here?" Chen Ling seemed to ask casually.

Sheng Yao continued to answer, "Go back to your majesty, the ministers and daughters happened to go to Pingnanhou's mansion two months ago to visit Mrs. Pingnanhou's wife for her mother. The husband of Pingnanhou's mansion said that he missed the prince and wanted to go to Zhencheng to see the prince and the minister's daughter. Just in time to pass the time with Madam."

Sheng Yao's mother and Shen Ci's aunt had been close friends in the boudoir earlier, so naturally they would bring them together.

Not hard to guess.

It is not difficult to guess that he asked Shen Ci to take A Nian to Miaocheng, and Shen Ci's aunt borrowed the pretext of visiting Lu Mingjian in Zhencheng, and brought Sheng Yao to Kuncheng to meet Shen Ci by chance.

Chen Ling retracted his thoughts.

I just heard Sheng Yao say, "Unexpectedly, on the way to Zhencheng, I happened to meet General Shen in Kuncheng..."

The voice is gentle and soft, pleasing to the eye.

Qi Shan smiled when he looked at Sheng Yao.

The Second Miss of the Marquis of Jianping's Mansion is also a model of noble daughters from aristocratic families, and now that the Prince of Jianping is quite favored by the Emperor, the Second Miss naturally has weight in the Emperor's eyes.

Qi Shan really saw the emperor smile, and said to the second lady, "Then you two talk slowly, I have left beforehand."

Sheng Yao once again blessed Chen Ling.

Shen Ci wanted to talk to Chen Ling, but she didn't look at him again, as if it didn't matter at all.

Shen Ci knew her...

Shen Ci said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is..."

Chen Ling just said to Qishan, "Take me to see the prince."

Qi Shan bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the last will be with Your Majesty..."

Shen Ci looked at her and wanted to explain to her alone.

Chen Ling said quietly, "No need, I just go by myself, let's go."

Qi Shan led the way in front, Shen Ci watched the back of the indigo dragon robe getting farther and farther away from him, his heart sank, as if he had fallen into an abyss ice cellar.

He knew she was pissed...

"Second brother?" Sheng Yao saw that his expression was unnatural.

Chen Ling heard the gentle voice of "Second Brother" behind him again, his eyes drooped slightly, and his footsteps did not stop.

Seeing that figure disappear at the end of the long corridor, Shen Ci's heart was suddenly empty.

He waited more than a month to see her.

finally……

Shen Ci let out a sigh of relief.

"Second brother, are you okay?" Sheng Yao didn't know why.

Shen Ci shook his head.

Sheng Yao was about to speak again, but suddenly heard a clear voice not far away, "General!"

Shen Ci and Sheng Yao both turned around.

Shen Ci saw that it was Xiao Wu.

"People in the garrison should be looking for me for something, excuse me!" Shen Ci excused himself and left.

"Oh..." Sheng Yao was a little stunned, but he did see Tang Wu running towards Shen Ci in the corridor.

Since it is a person in the garrison, it should be military affairs...

Sheng Yao looked at Shen Ci, and saw that Shen Ci and Xiao Wu were talking together, it should not be over for a while, and remembered the excuse he just said, it should be the meaning of being with others later, Sheng Yao There was a faint crimson on Yao's face, he lowered his head slightly, turned and left the place.

Shen Ci caught a glimpse of Sheng Yao leaving, and then he recovered.

Xiao Wuzheng was excited, "General, are you alright! I'm worried to death!"

Shen Ci looked at him, "What's the matter with me?"

Xiao Wu sighed, "Your Majesty originally met the Prince of Jianping in Zhencheng, but then suddenly news came that Tan Jin had subverted the law and was killed by the general, and others were praising the general, and His Majesty only asked that Tan Jin was struggling. Later, he talked about Tan Jin's cunning, and he almost wounded the general with a dagger before he died. His Majesty didn't say anything after listening to what was next to the stool. His Majesty didn’t say anything, but it could be seen from the carriage that His Majesty was unhappy and worried about the general’s injury. His Majesty didn’t close his eyes very much all night, until now, it was noon, and there were bloodshot eyes… …”

Shen Ci remembered that it would take a whole day to travel from Zhencheng to Kuncheng. If she could come at this time, she must have walked overnight.

She was worried in her heart and came to Kuncheng to see him.

He was seriously injured by Lou Chi earlier, and nearly lost his life. He was unconscious and even in a coma for several days. At that time, Chen Ling was crying and guarding him...

She came to Kuncheng in a hurry last night because she was afraid that others would report good news instead of bad news.

Not telling the truth.

She wants to see believing.

Then, after worrying about not closing his eyes all night, when he first saw the official residence, he was with Sheng Yao...

Shen Ci suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart.

Just now, all he wanted was how to explain to her that he was not with Sheng Yao like she thought, but he never thought that she would be here to see him right now, and he never stopped on the way...

Damn it!

Shen Ci's heart seemed to be slashed by a blunt weapon.

She may not believe what happened to him and Sheng Yao, but there is vinegar and anger...

This time I was really angry.

On the side, Xiao Wu didn't realize that Shen Ci didn't open his mouth. Seeing His Majesty's worried appearance, Xiao Wu also worried all the way. It's okay! Seeing the general's appearance now, Xiao Wu put down the stone in his heart, very relaxed, and laughed "giggling", "The general is fine!"

Shen Ci glanced at Xiao Wu and asked the topic, "Why didn't you go with Your Majesty?"

He just said that A Ling asked him to come with him.

A Ling is careful, knowing that Xiao Wu is also worried about him...

Xiao Wu let out an "oh", as if he had come to a sudden realization, and picked up the food box in his hand, "When I just entered the city, Your Majesty saw a shop selling pot helmets in the city, and said that His Highness liked it and asked me to buy some back."

Shen Ci's eyes were slightly stagnant, he liked it...

***

"Royal Father!" A Nian hadn't seen her for a long time, and as soon as he saw her, he threw himself into her arms.

Mother Fang had just given him a bath and changed into clean clothes.

There is also a fresh soapy scent on the body.

Ah Nian misses her, she misses Ah Nian too, she has never been separated from Ah Nian for so long...

"Father, Anian misses you so much~" Anian hugged her neck and was reluctant to let go.

Chen Ling was also reluctant, and said warmly, "My father misses you too, have you listened to Shen Ci and Mother Fang?"

Ah Nian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes! Nian Nian is obedient!"

"Did you cry?" Knowing that A Nian was sensible, Chen Ling felt soft in her heart, so she asked this again.

Hearing this, Anian pouted, and the tears that were swirling in his eyes suddenly couldn't hold back any longer.

Chen Ling felt a little distressed.

Chen Ling hugged him tightly, "Don't cry, Father is here."

"Well! Nian Nian is obedient!" A Nian also hugged her tightly.

Mommy Fang was also moved from the side, wiping her tears secretly. Seeing their mother and son meet again, Mommy Fang couldn't help breaking the defense.

Chen Ling said to Mother Fang, "Mother Fang, I stay with A Nian alone for a while, and I won't see anyone coming."

Mama Fang should be.

Mommy Fang lifted the curtain and went out of the inner room, leaving more time for their mother and son to spend time alone.

As soon as she left the outer pavilion, she saw Shen Ci coming to the garden, and Mommy Fang was surprised, "General Shen?"

Madam Fang just remembered what His Majesty had just said, and saw General Shen coming to the garden. Madam Fang had been with the emperor for a long time, and almost immediately thought that the emperor did not want to see him.

Madam Fang sighed in her heart.

Shen Ci nodded, "Is Your Majesty there?"

Mommy Fang nodded, "Yes."

Just as Shen Ci was about to enter, Mama Fang said, "General Shen, Your Majesty said, I haven't seen the Prince for a long time. I want to talk to the Prince alone for a while, but no one will be seen. General Shen, I need to stay behind."

Shen Ci stopped and saw that Fang Fang was not a joke.

She specifically asked Momo Fang, she was really angry.

Mommy Fang looked at Shen Ci embarrassedly, and didn't know what to say.

However, Shen Ci hesitated for a while, then nodded, and said gently, "Okay, I'll wait here..."

Mommy Fang looked at him.

Shen Ci didn't say anything.

It was noon, the hottest time of the day, and Shen Ci was always in the garden.

Mammy Chen and Qi Shan went in and out of the house several times, but Chen Ling never saw him...

Shen Ci was still in Yuanzhong.

After about a short time, Ah Nian came out, "Uncle Shen!"

Shen Ci was actually a little tired of standing, but when he saw Anian came out, he became more energetic, "His Royal Highness."

But his eyes fell behind Anian, and he didn't see Chen Ling coming out with him.

Shen Ci was a little disappointed and whispered, "Your Majesty didn't go with His Highness?"

A Nian nodded, "My father seems to be sleepy and fell asleep."

Shen Ci was stunned, and then remembered what Xiao Wu had just said, Chen Ling was worried about him, and did not close his eyes for the whole night and the morning.

Just now I was seeing A Nian again, now it's too late...

Shen Ci knew that she should be almost sleepy.

But A Nian was very excited to see her, and Shen Ci half squatted down to look at him, "Your Highness, let His Majesty sleep for a while, I will be with His Highness."

Anian nodded.

Shen Ci took A Nian to a little farther in the garden, afraid that he would disturb Chen Ling to rest.

A Nian looked up at him, "Uncle Shen, is the father coming, so we don't have to go to Zhencheng?"

Earlier, I said that I would go to Zhencheng to see my father.

Shen Ci nodded, "Yes, no need to go."

A Nian laughed, "It's the royal father who came to find us!"

Shen Ci smiled warmly, reached out and touched his head.

In the distance, Xue Chao and Guo Zixiao squeezed together and secretly looked at Yuanzhong.

Guo Zixiao sighed, "Old Han said earlier, seeing that the prince and the general are alike, I don't think so, why is it that the more I look like this along the way?"

Xue Chao also sighed, "It's probably because we have been with the general for a long time, others may be okay."

Guo Zixiao wrapped his arms, "That's exactly what you said."

***

In the room, Chen Ling was lying on his side, feeling sleepy, but not yet asleep.

Mommy Fang shook a fan for her to make her feel more comfortable.

Mother Fang hadn't seen her for a long time, and she was worried. She just saw bloodshot eyes in her eyes at first sight, and she was afraid that she had not slept all night.

It is because he is thinking about the prince, and he is also thinking about General Shen.

Chen Ling lay on his side and slowly closed his eyes, "How long has Sheng Yao been here?"

Um? Mommy Fang was surprised, and soon, she seemed to suddenly understand why General Shen had just disappeared.

Mother Fang knew that she was probably jealous.

Not to mention that the second lady of the Marquis of Jianping was born beautiful, just being able to dress up as a woman with General Shen made the emperor jealous. How did Mrs. Pingnanhou know about the emperor and General Shen? The second lady of the Hou Mansion made it clear that Mrs. Pingnan Hou brought it here on purpose...

Fang mama had just inquired about it, and truthfully said, "I came only near noon, and I was never there before. I came to Kuncheng's official residence with Mrs. Pingnan Hou only near noon. General Shen has always been with His Highness. , Wen Shu in the morning, and took the prince to exercise together. Just now, I saw that the prince was sweating a lot. I was afraid that the prince would catch a cold. I asked the old slave to bring the prince back to take a bath and change. Say a word or two, and your Majesty will come."

Chen Ling opened her eyes and glanced at her, and then, Your Majesty, said leisurely, "I just asked when she came, but I didn't ask them if they didn't say anything..."

A lot of jealousy.

Mommy Fang was silent.

"I'm sleepy, sleep soundly for a while." Chen Ling yawned, unable to open his eyes.

Mommy Fang smiled and said, "Okay, this old slave will fan your majesty for a while, and your majesty should go to sleep."

Chen Ling said softly, "No need, I'm too tired, I'm going to sleep right away."

Madam Fang said warmly, "When His Majesty is asleep, the old slave will stop fanning."

Chen Ling opened her eyes slightly, Fang Momo smiled and said, "I still open my eyes secretly~"

Chen Ling smiled. This time, she didn't open her eyes anymore. After a while, the sound of even breathing sounded, and Fang Momo slowly fanned for a while, confirming that she was sleeping comfortably, and then put down the painting fan in her hand. He got up slowly, not waking her up.

***

In another garden, Mrs. Pingnan Hou also took a nap.

Sheng Yao had been waiting in the outer cabinet for a long time, and Mrs. Pingnanhou was surprised, "Why are you alone?"

Shouldn't she be with Shen Ci?

Sheng Yao smiled, "Your Majesty is down, the second brother is going to see His Majesty."

"Yeah? Your Majesty is down?" Mrs. Pingnan Hou was surprised, but she quickly reacted, "Yes, the prince is still with Zi'an here in Kuncheng! Everyone in the court said that His Majesty loves the prince, Your Majesty should have come to see the Crown Prince. The big incident of the King Tan Rebellion happened earlier, and His Majesty and the Crown Prince have been separated for quite some time. He must be thinking about the Crown Prince. As soon as this one stops, he will come to Kuncheng to see the Crown Prince. Hey, His Majesty, a father, is really fond of children. Even if the Prince's biological mother passed away early, His Majesty is also a nostalgic person..."

"Madam is right." Sheng Yao knows how to get along with elders.

Mrs. Pingnanhou also turned towards her more and more, "How about, did you talk to Zi'an before coming down?"

Sheng Yao smiled, "After saying a few words, Your Majesty will be hungry."

"Then what?" Madam Pingnan Hou was surprised, how could His Majesty have so much free time to stare at the two of them, Sheng Yao really replied, "Later, the subordinates of the second brother's army came to discuss military affairs with the second brother. Brother said that I'm afraid it will take some time, so I'll be back first."

"Oh." Mrs. Pingnanhou was still a little disappointed, but suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and asked, "Well, how did you wake up the second brother, isn't it Brother Zi'an?"

Sounds a little distant.

Sheng Yao lowered her eyebrows and said gently, "Second brother said, he is not very used to hearing people call from brother An."

Mrs. Pingnanhou raised her eyebrows, this guy~

Once before, when she heard Donggong call him brother Zi'an, she was startled.

Later, in private, he had no rules with him.

He told her not to worry.

Why didn't she worry, the companion was like a tiger, and Donggong was the emperor in the future. She was afraid that he would get too close to Donggong.

But he said, don't worry, my aunt, I know what to do.

Later, he was banished to Licheng Border Pass, where he stayed for four years.

Although the ancestors of the Shen family were also a well-known family of military generals, from the time of Shen Ci's father, who was also her brother, the Shen family basically didn't lead troops much.

Shen Ci went to Licheng for the past four years. Although he was taken care of by Mr. Liu Jian, he inevitably suffered a lot.

It is also promising, stronger than her brother.

It's just that these years, he has been obsessed with border issues, and his life-long affairs have been delayed.

The sister-in-law died early, so she had to help Shen Ci to think about it...

It's understandable, the words of brother Zi'an sounded really close, so she thought about letting Sheng Yao call him like that, who knew he would be embarrassed.

Madam Pingnan Hou thought in her heart, and then heard Sheng Yao say, "I heard that this time the second brother has done a good job in escorting and captured the traitor. Did you leave the second brother in Beijing?"

Sheng Yao's words reminded Mrs. Pingnan Hou, "It's better to stay in Beijing, don't go to places like border gates, this time you have done a good job in saving the car, and he won't let him ask for any seals, rewards, etc., and stay in the forbidden army in Beijing. Serving, which doesn't have to be better?

Mrs. Pingnan Hou suddenly felt enlightened, and said to Sheng Yao, "That's it, so are you."

Sheng Yao blushed, "Madam."

Mrs. Pingnanhou said softly, "How many times have you said it, and you still see it like this?"

"Aunt Shen."

Mrs. Pingnanhou smiled and said, "Aunt Shen will call the shots for you."

Sheng Yao hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and said truthfully, "Aunt Shen, I actually see that the second brother has no other thoughts."

Mrs. Pingnan Hou said with relief, "Oh, he, he has been with the emperor since he was twelve years old. At that time, it was not the East Palace, but the fourth prince. Later, the emperor entered the East Palace, and he was regarded as the confidant of the emperor. A lot of things, he is the most trustworthy in the East Palace. Naturally, he does everything. He is focused on the East Palace. He has no time to meet any girl, and he has never seen enlightenment. Later, he went to the border, not to mention As I said, in the past four years, things have been happening all over the border, and I have been in the army all day long, and I am afraid I have never even seen a woman. The matter has only been settled... He is still covered, and when he reacts later, his mind is not all in the army, so it's time to put things in his mind, right?"

Mrs. Pingnan Hou smiled and said, "My nephew, I know the best! He was delayed in the army. He is gentle and kind, and he knows how to take care of others. already."

Sheng Yao followed and laughed.

After Mrs. Pingnan Hou finished speaking, she called someone in again, "Go and ask where the general is?"

After a while, the person who sent it came back, "The general is still waiting for His Majesty."

Mrs. Pingnanhou sighed, "I'm afraid there is something going on at this time. It's important to see your Majesty first."

Sheng Yao nodded.

Mrs. Pingnanhou asked again, "Have you told the general that I am waiting for him here?"

"I told you."

"That's good." Mrs. Pingnanhou was relieved.

***

In the garden, Mama Fang has brought Anian out of the garden, and Shen Ci is still in the garden.

When it was not time for Shen Shi, Shen Shi did not move in the garden until around dusk.

A Ling was already angry, and with her cleverness she could guess that Sheng Yao came with her aunt.

If he went to see Sheng Yao at his aunt's place before seeing her, he shouldn't even think about her looking at him again in the future...

Shen Ci lowered his eyes.

...

In the room, Chen Ling got up in a daze. She had slept for a long time. She was worried that she hadn't slept all night last night, so she was really sleepy.

She called Qishan to fetch water to wash up.

Qi Shan entered and said in a timely manner, "Your Majesty, General Shen has been waiting in the courtyard."

Chen Ling's movements in his hands slowed down, and then he continued to wash his face, and then asked, "He's been there?"

Qishan nodded, "Yes, I have been in the garden, never left."

Chen Ling put down the towel in his hand and said softly, "Let him come in."

Qi Shan responded quickly.

Qishan quickly walked out of the outer cabinet and walked towards Shen Ci, "General Shen, Your Majesty is awake, let the general speak in the room."

Shen Ci frowned slightly, "Okay."

Shen Ci followed Qi Shan, Qi Shan entered first, "Your Majesty, General Shen is here."

"Come in." Chen Ling's voice was light, and he just woke up not long ago.

Qishan was waiting on the side, Shen Ci stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Last General Shen Ci, I have seen Your Majesty."

Chen Ling flipped through the booklet in his hand, which had been expedited earlier.

"Is there something wrong with General Shen?" Chen Ling said softly, his tone was the same as seeing others, a little alienation between the ruler and the minister.

Shen Ci expected it, and didn't expect it either.

Shen Ci remembered the day she left, the two were actually close...

But right now, Shen Ci was a little breathless, and said solemnly, "I will discuss with Your Majesty something at the end."

"Let's talk." Chen Ling didn't look up.

Shen Ci looked at her, her eyes kept on the booklet in her hand, and she didn't look at him.

Qishan stood awkwardly to one side, feeling that the atmosphere was not right.

Chen Ling said again, "If General Shen has nothing to do, just go out, I'm going to see the book."

This time, Shen Ci didn't speak again.

After a while, Chen Ling finally looked up at him and saw that his face was a little pale.

Chen Ling looked at Qishan, "Go out, I have something to say to Shen Ci alone."

"Yes." Qishan couldn't help it.

After getting up and walking away, Chen Ling said in a low voice, "I don't want to know anything about General Shen and Sheng Yao, if you want to say..."

Shen Ci interrupted softly, "I miss you."

Chen Ling's fingertips were slightly stagnant, and his eyes stopped on the line of the book in his hand.

The wind in my ears seemed to lighten.

The bottom of my heart is like a deer bumping around, thumping, and hesitating, not daring to look up at his eyes for the first time...

Shen Ci swallowed softly and continued, "A Ling, I miss you."

Chen Ling: "..."

Chen Ling's ears turned slightly red.
