At this time, the Shen Family also sensed that a storm was coming. Princess Danyang sat in the hall and asked over and over again, had Shen Feng Ming come back yet? If he was found.
The servants could only reply cautiously, "No."
Princess Danyang's anger brewed stronger and stronger. The atmosphere in the manor became increasingly tense.
At this time, Academician Shen came back, looking carefree. When Princess Danyang saw this, her anger exploded.
"Feng Ming resigned from the position of commander. Do you know about this?" She asked Academician Shen coldly.
'I know. Isn’t this very good? Haven’t you always disagreed with him being in that position?” Academician Shen sat down and took a sip of tea. There seemed to be joy in his voice.
"Is it the same?" Princess Danyang hollered, "Though I don't want him to be a commander, I don't want him to be a commoner. With his merits and power, he should be..."
"He should be what?" Academician Shen asked, "You should also know that Feng Ming's position has reached its peak now. Or do you want to..."
The next words cannot be spoken, as it would be a crime of treason. Still, Princess Danyang understood.
There were only Princess Danyang and Official Shen in the room at this time. Princess Danyang raised her chin slightly and looked arrogant, "There's nothing wrong with it."
She was also the late emperor's child, but unfortunately she was a woman, so she cannot sit in that position.
Shen Feng Ming was her son, why was he not qualified?
Besides, she and the Shen Family all contributed greatly to her Royal Brother's rise to that position. At the moment, the remaining princes in the court were useless.
If her Royal Brother was wise, he should consider her son.
Academician Shen was stunned. He didn't expect that Princess Danyang had this idea.
Seeing his reaction, Princess Danyang was exasperated and annoyed. As a man, he wasn’t as good as her. How did she marry such a man?
She thought like this, but she never considered that if Academician Shen weren’t like this, her royal brother might not have been able to successfully ascend the throne at that time.
Academician Shen shook his head. Power and desire will never end. He didn’t expect Shen Feng Ming to ascend to that position. Being high was too cold. From the start, that kid was lonely enough!
"Now I just hope that he can find a woman he likes and give me a grandchild or a beautiful grandchild. In this way, he will have it harmonious and blissful and I will be reassured. " he said.
Speaking of this, Princess Danyang instantly became discouraged. Shen Feng Ming had never gotten married and seemed to be going to die alone. If this was the case, ten thousand miles of mountain would seem meaningless.
How could she not want to see her son well? How could she not want to play with her grandchild? But was it possible? She spent countless saliva and did everything she could, but was useless.
She now began to believe that maybe Shen Feng Ming liked men. That Yang Sheng... Princess Danyang gritted her teeth. She wouldn’t agree.
There was silence in the room. It was rare that Princess Danyang and Academician Shen didn't quarrel this time.
Perhaps, they no longer have the energy to quarrel.
In the Division, Shen Feng Ming had taken care of all the matters, got up, and walked out.
"Feng Ming, you want to leave me here alone?" Yang Sheng helplessly stared at Shen Feng Ming.
"You can do it." Shen Feng Ming said.
"I can't. I will submit my resignation to the emperor tomorrow. I, I will go to the border to join my father." Yang Sheng said.
Shen Feng Ming lightly responded, "The Emperor will not agree."
He was leaving and was about to ask Yang Sheng to take charge of the overall situation. If Yang Sheng also left, the Qilin Guards would be in chaos. That wasn’t what the emperor wanted to see.
"Besides, can you safely leave your brothers to others?" Shen Feng Ming asked again.
Of course Yang Sheng was worried. Who knows if the new guy would mess around. But he didn't want to stay here alone! In the past, with Shen Feng Ming here and shouldering everything, he just did things. How comfortable it was.
Thinking of this, Yang Sheng felt like his head was going to explode.
"I'll leave everything to you." Shen Feng Ming said.
"No, I can't do it." Yang Sheng refused.
Shen Feng Ming ignored him and walked out.
"I will only give you one month. You must come back after one month, otherwise I will quit. I will keep my word."
"Hey, did you hear that? What I said is true."
Yang Sheng was still chattering behind when Shen Feng Ming had already left the room.
In the courtyard, all the Qilin Guards gathered together and stood up straight, looking at Shen Feng Ming. They didn't know what was going on. The commander was suddenly leaving. Although the commander was a bit cold and stern, they knew that his blood was warm and they only obeyed him.
What will they do if he leaves? Who will take them to brave the mountains of swords and rain of swords?
Shen Feng Ming scanned around, said nothing in the end, and left the Division.
The setting sun outside was like blood, looking a bit dazzling. Still, Shen Feng Ming didn't look back.
"You're back." A pleasant voice sounded.
Shen Feng Ming raised his head and looked in front of him. Only then, he realized that he had walked all the way to the small courtyard in the west of the city. By now it was almost dark. The lights were lit in the small courtyard and there was a faint smell of food wafting out. Jiang Yun Zhu stood at the door, wearing a water-blue dress. her face seemed to be stained with petals, soft and moving.
Shen Feng Ming froze for a moment. He had read many books and had once wondered what it would feel like if he went home and there was a woman he liked waiting for him.
Definitely forget all the fatigue and be filled with joy!
"En." Shen Feng Ming acknowledged in response. His voice became much gentler. Although the cause of resignation was Jiang Yun Zhu, it was he who exchanged it for her pardon edict. He didn't blame her. His officialdom had reached the top. He had no intention of going any further, but the emperor kept suspecting him, afraid that he would have that idea. The current situation was good.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't know these things. She only thought about her own affairs. Shen Feng Ming was here, will he stay tonight?
"I made some food. Please try it to see if it suits you." She said softly.
"It suits." Shen Feng Ming said. Jiang Yun Zhu had cooked it for him before when he was at the Anping Marquis Manor. At that time, he knew that he loved to eat what she cooked. Truly love!
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't expect his answer to be so direct and was a little embarrassed. She said nothing more and turned around and went to the kitchen.
Cold dishes and steamed dishes have been prepared, but hot dishes must be freshly fried to taste delicious. She didn't know when Shen Feng Ming would come, so she only cut the vegetables and hadn’t fried them yet. Now was the time.
Shen Feng Ming entered the room and washed his face. Then he smelled the aroma of food wafting over.
Soon, Jiang Yun Zhu came in with a few plates of food and placed them on the table.
From the moment she walked in, she could tell that Shen Feng Ming's eyes had been on her.
"I might smell a little bit of oil and smoke." She said with lowered eyes.
"Pretty good." Shen Feng Ming's voice said.
Pretty good? Jiang Yun Zhu found his words were a bit strange. Was the smell of oil and smoke good?
"Let's eat. It's getting late. I think you haven't eaten either. Next time, you don't have to wait for me." Shen Feng Ming said.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't reply. She stood up and poured a glass of wine for Shen Feng Ming and herself. Then she picked up the wine glass and directed to Shen Feng Ming, "I toast this glass of wine to you, I want to thank you. "
Shen Feng Ming stroked the glass of wine but didn't drink it. In fact, he wasn’t worthy of her toast. He was a despicable person.
"I want to thank you." Jiang Yun Zhu rushed to say.
Shen Feng Ming raised his hand and drank the glass of wine.
Jiang Yun Zhu held the wine glass and found that he didn't want to talk about it anymore. So she drank the wine, put the wine glass aside, and clipped Shen Feng Ming a little cherry flesh for him to taste.
The flesh of the cherry was bright red, soft and jiggling, just like the mouth of a woman's cherry.
Shen Feng Ming ate it. He also helped Jiang Yun Zhu clipped some and then told her not to worry about him and eat it herself.
Jiang Yun Zhu was afraid of the clipping back and forward. She was indeed hungry, so she sat down to eat.
Neither of them spoke anymore and the meal was finished.
Jiang Yun Zhu stood up. She was going to take a bath.
When she left, Shen Feng Ming was drinking tea. When she came back, Shen Feng Ming was still sitting there, holding a tea bowl, but the tea bowl seemed to be empty a long time ago and he didn't even notice.
When he noticed her coming in, he looked up at her.
Jiang Yun Zhu felt a sense of oppression. Her snowy skin was dyed pink. She stood there, one meter away from Shen Feng Ming, neither far nor close.
She stared at the hem of his robe, as if focusing on the dark lines on his robe. In fact, she didn't see anything, she just didn't know what to do next.
Shen Feng Ming was not a stranger to her, but she didn't know him well enough either. If he wanted to... She pinched the corners of her clothes nervously.
One meter away, if Shen Feng Ming wanted to, he could actually grab the person in front of him with a stretch of his hand.
He put the tea bowl on the table aside and slowly lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.
This action attracted Jiang Yun Zhu's attention. She stared at him and saw his eyelashes as long as butterfly wings drooping under the warm yellow light.
The bridge of the nose was high, the lower lip was slightly pursed, and the lines were beautiful.
Actually, Shen Feng Ming was quite good-looking, Jiang Yun Zhu suddenly realized this. If he hadn't always kept a cold face and his aura was too impressive, making people not dare to look at him carefully, maybe this Xia Dynasty could also have a story about women's admiration and pursuit of a handsome man.
Thinking this way, Jiang Yun Zhu suddenly felt a little more relaxed.
"I just saw that the stars seemed to be particularly bright tonight." She said.
The opium-like eyelashes fluttered, revealing the clear eyes below. Shen Feng Ming responded, "Then why don't we go and take a look."
"En." Jiang Yun Zhu said and walked out.
The evening breeze was blowing. There was a faint of fresh fragrance in the air after taking a bath.
When the two came to the courtyard, Jiang Yun Zhu saw the swing at first sight. She had tried it during the day when she had nothing to do. Sitting on it was very stable and comfortable.
It had a leisurely feeling. Sitting on it and looking at the stars, they should be able to see a different scenery.
"Go over and sit down." Shen Feng Ming said.
"And you ……”
"Don't worry about me." Shen Feng Ming said.
This was his yard, so there was no need to be humble as a guest. Jiang Yun Zhu hesitated a little before going over and sat on the swing.
The swing swayed slightly. It was Shen Feng Ming. He held the swing and let it swing in a long arc.
"No need..." Mei Yun Zhu said anxiously.
"You cooked for me. I should do something for you." Shen Feng Ming said.
Could it still be calculated like this? Jiang Yun Zhu was at a loss. However, Shen Feng Ming's attitude was very clear and she could only sit on it.
Shen Feng Ming's hands were very steady and he used the right amount of force. Every time the swing seemed to be at the same exact angle. Sitting on it, Jiang Yun Zhu felt like it was just like sitting on a rocking bed. She didn't have to worry about whether there was any danger and could look up at the night sky with peace of mind as well as feeling the caress of the night wind on her cheeks.
It seemed that all the stars were out tonight, like diamonds hanging in the sky. Especially the Milky Way, which was shining and beautiful.
And on the edge of the Milky Way were the stars Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
