It is true that the Queen Mother knows things like a god. As expected, the Shen family couldn't sit still anymore.

If Shen Ruochen knew about this, I'm afraid his eyes would be so wide.

Not two days after saying that, a letter from the Shen family arrived. Shen Ruochen was leisurely eating cantaloupe on the Arhat recliner!

As soon as I heard that the letter from home was from a relative, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

Sure enough, when I opened it, my face turned green. Frightened, Guizhi and Xiaowalta hurriedly asked, "My dear master, what's wrong with you? But what happened at home?"

"Little Master, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Ruochen shook his head, "No, there's nothing wrong at home. It's me who's in trouble. This letter is just to scold me."

"Huh? Are you scolding me?"

Shen Ruochen looked helpless as he looked at the letter in his hand and said, "The eldest lady scolded me for not living up to my expectations, but she actually agreed that I will not be able to protect the third elder brother or provide resources for the third elder brother in the future. But I don't understand!" Why is my father’s letter here? Didn’t my father go to the Yellow River? Why..."

Guizhi said hurriedly, "I know that. If letters from outside can't come in, they have to go to our house. There are concubines in the harem. The master must have sent the letter to the house, and then sent it with his wife. Come in."

"No wonder, he also used an envelope," Shen Ruochen said helplessly, "My father has gone to such a far away place, why is he still thinking about me? He wrote letters to scold me even though he was so far away. It's not enough for people on the road to send. !What a waste of resources.”

"Master scolded you too?"

"Scold me harder!" Shen Ruochen curled his lips and said unconvinced, "Criticize me for not living up to expectations, scold me for being useless, scold me for not being able to even serve the emperor, scold me for being a stick!"

"Bangchui? This is Shandong dialect. It seems that the master has arrived in Shandong."

"Well, I've learned the words, isn't it time?" Shen Ruochen put his chin in his hands and propped himself up on the table, "Really, why don't they know that I was not willing to..."

"Little Master!" Guizhi shook his head gently, "This concubine has to... don't talk nonsense! Besides, now that she has entered the palace, she still has to serve the emperor well. In this way, the family and the third elder brother Only in the future can we help each other, no, it’s mutual motivation!”

"Your words are similar to Madam's, but..." Shen Ruochen looked at the letter in his hand helplessly, "But I'm really not that material, I... I can't do it. Besides, the emperor has so many concubines. , someone who is more capable than me, someone who is prettier than me, someone who can talk, etc., how could he like me if he doesn’t have any of that? Is it possible that he likes lazy people?”

"Little Master, you are so smart, good-looking and young, you can definitely do it," Guizhi looked at Shen Ruochen and said, "To be honest, you can't compare with Concubine Jin. Her natal family is powerful, but our Shen family But it doesn’t work, we still have to rely on this!”

"Well, it would be great if my sister was still alive." Shen Ruochen sighed deeply, "My father wrote that when my sister died, he was the father of the concubine and the father-in-law of the emperor, but now, he is a little He is nothing if he makes a small, unscrupulous promise. But how can I become a concubine? This is simply impossible."

"Little Master..."

"Forget it, forget it, I don't miss him anymore," Shen Ruochen took a deep breath, "Let nature take its course. It's the serious thing to take good care of your third brother."

"Over there at home..."

"My father is far away on the other side of the Yellow River. I can't do anything for a while. As for Madam," Shen Ruochen raised his eyebrows indifferently, "Anyway, Madam didn't say anything. Even if she asked me to work hard for the child, she wouldn't do anything. He told me to serve the emperor! I just have to work hard."

"Then besides serving the emperor well and being favored, how else can you work hard?"

Shen Ruochen smiled faintly, "I know it well."

After that, he lay down on the bed, "Okay, let's all disperse, little walnut, you come and beat your legs, I'll take a rest."

"My lord," Guizhi couldn't help but said, "my lord, why don't we go out for a walk and maybe have a chance encounter with the emperor or something."

Shen Ruochen shook his head, "This trick is too fake. Then when the concubine was still with the noble, didn't she use this trick before? I won't make people laugh at that!"

"Then..." Guizhi thought for a while, his eyes lit up, "Then why don't we just say that Third Brother is feeling unwell and ask the Emperor to come and take a look?"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Shen Ruochen hurriedly pouted several times and said to Guizhi, "How can a child curse him? Bah, bah! This thing works best on children."

Guizhi was so frightened that he hurriedly pouted several times and recited several lines of Amitabha before he was done. He didn't dare to say anything else, and hurriedly ran back to look at the third elder brother, for fear that something would go wrong.

Shen Ruochen and Xiao Walnut looked at each other and smiled softly. He whispered, "It can be considered as tricking her away."

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, it starts to get colder in the morning and evening. Shen Ruochen can have a good sleep in the morning without being woken up by the heat.

This day.

"Well," Shen Ruochen stretched greatly, "It's autumn and it's cool in the morning and evening. It's so comfortable. But there's a bad thing. We won't provide any watermelon."

"Xigua Han, of course it won't work," Xiao Walnut said with a smile, "But there are already good pomegranates in the yard, so the little master can change the target."

"You little walnut, you dare to tease me! Watch your move!"

The two quarreled for a while and then stopped.

Little Walnut helped Shen Ruochen get up and said, "My little master is enjoying a blessing, but this slave just heard the little eunuchs in the yard worrying about themselves! They don't like autumn!"

"Oh? What are you worried about?" Shen Ruochen asked strangely. "What's not good about autumn? Falling leaves and autumn wind are so beautiful!"

"You really don't know the hardships if you don't work!" Xiao Hetao said, "The rules in this palace are that the eunuchs have to spend the night on the corridor. Have you forgotten? This winter is okay, you can enter the house, but not in the other three seasons. , I heard them say that this autumn is the worst. After a while, in late autumn, the dew alone will make people extremely cold. I heard that the wind and cold are from that time, and death is normal!"

Shen Ruochen was shocked, "What? So scary? Then why didn't I know about it before?"

"The slaves heard it accidentally, otherwise they wouldn't dare to say it!" Little Walnut said with emotion, "My master is also very kind. If it were before... or even now, it would be impossible for Sister Guizhi to hear it!"

Shen Ruochen nodded, "Sister Guizhi is a bit like those nuns now. I don't know how Doctor Leng will be able to bear it in the future."

Xiao Walnut shook his head, expressing his sympathy for Imperial Physician Leng.

"That's not okay. It's too humiliating for such a good person to die like this." Shen Ruochen thought for a while and waved his hand, "Well, you go and call all the little eunuchs in the palace. I have something to say to them. explain."
