Zhou Yun agreed to the proposal of the plum blossom banquet.

As Liu Fei said, the palace has been quite deserted recently, so it is time to make the palace lively.

When the news came into the imperial study, Fu Yun was silent. He looked at the person who bowed and bowed respectfully, with a complex look on his face.

Shen Qingqiu knelt on the ground, although he had his head hanging down, but his spine was straight, neither humble nor arrogant.

The fragrance in the hall was floating and sinking, Zhang Chong buried his head, pressing his confusion and surprise in his heart.

After a long silence, Fu Yun finally spoke deeply:

"You really want to resign?"

Shen Qingqiu raised his eyebrows slightly. His face was still the one who once amazed the entire Chang'an City, but there was a scar on the side of his face, which was deeply imprinted on his face, just like a painting with ink dots dyed.

It makes people feel sorry for him.

But the parties involved didn't care at all, and Shen Qingqiu said calmly:

"If you have any damage to your face, you should not be an official in the court. I have already thought about it."

What's more, now his wish is done.

The man became the noble queen, and in the future, he would never be able to help her.

Instead of looking at each other so close to her, it is better to hide away.

Shen Qingqiu never underestimates a person's jealousy and possessiveness, regardless of gender.

Fu Yun narrowed his eyes.

Shen Qingqiu was happy with Zhou Yun. At a certain moment, he clearly realized this.

Such a person will not be assured to stay by Zhou Yun's side.

Especially in... Fu Yun looked at the scar on the side of Shen Qingqiu's face without a trace.

The more he did for Zhou Yun, the less Fu Yun could tolerate him.

But he was a bit successful. Since Shen Qingqiu entered the court and became an official, even if he was Fu Mian's man, he had no unjust case under his command.

Dali Temple was managed in an orderly manner under his command.

Fu Yun knew that Shen Qingqiu was born to be an official and would be a good official.

If Shen Qingqiu was loyal to him, who could reject him?

Fu Yun was a pity for talent after all, so he said: "I give you three days to think carefully, but I really want to resign from my post?"

"No need, the emperor."

Shen Qingqiu raised his head without being humble and arrogant, and he interrupted Fu Yun: "Your Majesty, I am a gentle minister who has entered the officialdom for selfishness, but now I have my wish."

His health has always been bad. After Fu Mia passed away, his face always turned pale.

Shen Qingqiu pressed his lips and coughed in his throat. After a while, he smirked, a little dazed, but his voice was stunning: "Weichen is not strong enough, and for the rest of the time, we want to go back to our hometown."

What's the rest of the time?

Fu Yun frowned his eyebrows almost unpredictably, his eyes darkened a little. The palace was silent for a long time, and the incense was radiating white smoke. Fu Yun finally said, "Since you have decided, I will be sure."

Shen Qingqiu bowed and thanked him. When he walked out of the imperial study, the sun was shining outside, reflected on his elegant eyebrows, making others unable to bear to look away.

Shen Qingqiu turned his head and looked at the harem, as if he was looking at someone.

Afterwards, he did not look back and walked out of the palace step by step.

He has been repaying his kindness all his life.

He paid back everything he owed Zhou Yun.

But he still owed one person in his life.

Others noticed that he was different from Zhou Yun, and they all said that he loved Zhou Yun.

He can't say, is that just admiration?

But he knew that in that year, he was crowded with a bunch of refugees, and Zhou Yun, who was like stars arching the moon, appeared in front of him. From then on, he could no longer see others in his eyes.

Because that was the first light in his life.

He was out of place with him. He knew that he couldn't get to the point, but he still tried his best to approach her.

When he left the palace, Zhu Ce was waiting for him in a carriage. When he saw him coming out, he hurriedly helped him onto the carriage, and then asked him in confusion: "Master, where are we going now?"

After the lord resigns, he will not be allowed to call him an lord again.

Shen Qingqiu held the hairpin in his hand tightly. His eyes were closed with a pale face, and his lips pursed and said softly: "...Return to Guocheng."

The beginning of everything was in Guocheng, and now it's time for him to go back.

There is no way to hide things in Chang'an City. After the invitation to enjoy the plum banquet was sent out of the palace, Shi Qiu also brought back a farce.

Zhou Yun paused his hand holding the cup for a moment, almost unable to hold the cup.

She suddenly turned around, stunned and puzzled:

"What?"

Shi Qiu shook his head regretfully: "Mr. Shen resigned from office yesterday and returned to his hometown. After Princess Jinghe learned about it, she rode a horse to chase out of Chang'an City overnight. The eldest princess entered the palace today to ask the emperor to send someone to stop Princess Jinghe back."

Zhou Yun put the cup on the desk table, his movements were a little unstable, and the cup knocked off the desk table.

Zhou Yun pursed his lips, his eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't say anything, so he asked: "Why did he resign?"

Shi Qiu paused for a moment, and he was silent.

She didn't know why the courtier resigned.

but……

"I heard that Lord Shen seems to have scars on his face."

Zhou Yun was stunned. Apart from the lunatic Fu Mia, who could bear to ask Shen Qingqiu to have scars on his face?

Suddenly, Zhou Yun clenched his handkerchief with his slender fingertips.

She suddenly remembered that Fu Mian was finally discovered in the Shen Mansion.

And that day, after Fu Yun returned home, he asked if she was familiar with Shen Qingqiu.

Zhou Yun's face changed.

She suddenly stood up, Shi Qiu was surprised and puzzled: "Empress, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yun paused, finally came to his senses and smiled bitterly.

What is she doing?

Even if you know what Shen Qingqiu did or what she did for her, so what?

She didn't know why Shen Qingqiu was like this and why she was determined to help him?

As her thoughts surged, she couldn't even understand when Shen Qingqiu had that thought about her.

But she also knew in her heart that she had been unfairly thinking about Shen Qingqiu, but she was just surprised and puzzled even if she knew what Shen Qingqiu had done now.

Zhou Yun sat back again, and she focused on another thing:

"You said, Princess Jing and Princess chased Lord Shen?"

Shi Qiu nodded repeatedly, still a little puzzled: "This Jing and Princess Jing are too careless. Lord Shen rejected her many times. If she returns without success this time, what will happen if she becomes famous in the future?"

Zhou Yun didn't say anything.

Jing and Shen Qingqiu are never a secret.

Jinghe is one year older than her. She should have said that she can be married until today because she is the only daughter of the eldest princess and no one dares to force her.

If Shen Qingqiu doesn't marry her, she has really spent it with Shen Qingqiu today.

Jing and Zeng and Zhuang Yisui approached. Zhou Yun didn't like Jing and this person, but sometimes he admired her very much.

Even though everyone was puzzled by opposition, she never gave up if she liked Shen Qingqiu.

After all, Zhou Yun is put on it. She knows it is impossible, but she will not waste her time. There are too many people in the world who want to marry her, so why should she spend it on one person?

For the so-called intangible feelings, I exhausted my reputation and youth.

The gain is not worth the loss.

After a while, Zhou Yun pursed his lips and said:

"This time, I hope she can get what she wants."

But she knew in her heart that Shen Qingqiu seemed gentle, but in fact she was extremely deserted.

He doesn't like Jinghe, and even if Jinghe takes all his thoughts, he won't be with Jinghe.

As he said on the day he refused the late emperor's marriage, I don't like the princess, and marrying the princess back home is just a cold treat. Why bother?

The story of Jing and Princess entered the palace, but after a while of gossip, no one cared about it.

After all, for the women in the harem, Jing and the princess were just lively, and it was better to enjoy the plum banquet for them.
