Chapter 242 Surname
"Li Ren'an's wife has entered the palace?"
"Madam Li entered the palace this morning, Your Majesty."
Qin Zhi nodded, "No wonder Li Ren'an was still wandering around my Zhaozheng Palace after the court session. I asked him what was wrong, but he didn't tell me. It seems that he is still worried about his wife who has been staying in the palace for two months!"
"I still remember when Madam Li entered the palace for the first time, Your Majesty said that Li Ren'an was like an ant on a hot pot. He would go to Zhaozheng Palace every day to bother you, asking about his daughter and asking about his wife in the palace. Is he doing better the second time Madam Li entered the palace?"
Shen Ningyue's beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with teasing smiles and subtle envy.
"This is only the first day. If he bothers me again, I will ask him to ask Zhang Deli to take him to the palace for purification, and let him stay with his wife in the palace for two months."
"Your Majesty is so mean, but the relationship between Li Ren'an and Madam Li is really enviable."
Although Shen Ningyue has many brothers and sisters born from the same mother, her father also has many concubines. Her father went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and her mother went to the palace to accompany her during childbirth. They were separated for several months or even longer, but she had never seen her father as anxious as Li Renan.
"What? Do you think I'm not as considerate as Li Ren'an?"
"How dare I? Your Majesty is not only my husband, but also the ruler of the world. Even if Your Majesty wants to, I will spoil your fun and advise you."
Qin Zhi's dark eyes were deep as he stared at Shen Ningyue without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like this?"
Shen Ningyue raised her eyes and looked back at Qin Zhi frankly and asked.
"Seventeen, please accompany me out of the palace again. I want to see the people under my rule. You come with me."
Shen Ningyue lowered her head and stroked her pregnant belly, then raised her head and said, "If Your Majesty does not mind that I am a bother."
"Seventeen, since you entered the palace, I have only taken you out twice. Once was to the Shen Mansion, and once was to Guangde Temple to burn incense. I have not taken you to see the lives of ordinary people."
Qin Zhi walked forward holding Shen Ningyue's hand.
"Your Majesty, are you going now?"
"You do not want?"
"I haven't changed my clothes yet."
"Then I will wait for you for two quarters of an hour."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will not let Your Majesty wait even a moment longer."
"Go."
In the carriage, Qin Zhi and Shen Ningyue were dressed like an ordinary official couple.
"Let me take you outside the outer city. The inner city and the outer city are now at least considered wealthy families. I will take you to see the real majority."
"Doesn't that mean we won't be able to get back before the palace gates are locked today?"
"It's okay to be gone for a few days, Seventeen, don't worry."
Although Shen Ningyue didn't understand, she didn't question why Qin Zhi took her to see the civilians.
Her family has been noble for generations, and Shen Ningyue has never come into contact with the common people, whom her father called "mud-legged people". She has only seen the people's hearts and sufferings described by saints in books.
“Are they pitiful?”
Shen Ningyue shed tears, threw herself on Qin Zhi's chest with tearful eyes, and nodded heavily.
"Isn't this a prosperous era? Why are they suffering so much?"
"A prosperous age? It's just a matter of more suffering. They are much better now. When I visited them as a child, they were even more pitiful, pitiful to the point of being horrible. If my princes don't take my people seriously, I won't take them seriously either." Qin Zhi said with cold eyes.
"Your Majesty! I will teach the princes and princesses well."
"It's good to have the intention. Who knows, some prince or princess might be able to listen to it?"
"Your Majesty, you are always calm and confident in everything, so why do you lose confidence in the children?"
"I have seen too many ugly things. Forget it. As long as you can do good things for me, that's enough."
"Your Majesty." Shen Ningyue tilted her head and looked at Qin Zhi in confusion.
