A simple and elegant cart made of varnished tung wood entered Fuzhou City, surrounded by more than a dozen strong guards.

After entering the city, the guards dispersed, and the curtain of the Paulownia cart was lifted from the inside. Concubine Yao Xian, dressed as an ordinary wealthy woman, moved to the door of the carriage, leaned out slightly, and looked carefully at both sides of the street.

The coachman jumped out of the car, led the horse, and drove slowly.

Concubine Yao Xian looked at it very carefully and smiled from time to time, "The business of this rouge shop is still so good. My favorite is the rouge from this shop. They have a peach-skin pink color. When applied to the face, it is very fresh and tender."

"Do you want someone to buy some?" A middle-aged servant girl sitting next to her with her knees bent followed Concubine Yao Xian's gaze and looked at the rouge shop and smiled.

"No, just take a look. Look at that store. The front door seems to have been renovated. The Heavenly Official's Blessing is engraved on the front door. I wonder if the shopkeeper has changed. His Chengpi shrimp dumplings are very delicious.

Neyan likes to eat the most. Because she was too greedy for these shrimp dumplings, she was beaten several times by her mother-in-law, but she couldn't change it. Huihui came here with me, Huihui looks so greedy."

Concubine Yao Xian said and laughed.

"I didn't expect that Aunt Kong would be like this." The servant girl laughed with her, feeling sour in her heart. After Empress Yao entered the palace, she was chosen to serve beside Empress Yao, and she has been learning the rules from Aunt Kong.

Auntie Kong, that’s her.

"When we were in Fuzhou, both Neyan and I were ignorant and were very good at shopping. The teahouse was still the same as before. There were often cultural gatherings there, and Neyan and I often went there to watch the fun..."

Concubine Yao Xian suddenly paused in her words. She didn't know what she was thinking of. The smile on her face gradually became dull. She stayed there for a while and sighed softly, "It suddenly seems that decades have passed. Things have changed and people have changed. It has already passed. What's the matter?"

What’s there to see? It’s just a bunch of dead stuff. If you don’t want to look at it, just put down the curtain.”

As Concubine Yao Xian spoke, she moved back. When the servant lowered the curtain, she signaled to the groom to move faster.

The car went a little faster than before, turned a few streets, and stopped outside the gate of Fuzhou Prefecture's back office.

"Old madam, the Fuzhou government office has arrived." A guard reported outside the car.

The maid glanced at Concubine Yao Xian's face and stretched out her hand to lift the curtain. Concubine Yao Xian raised her head slightly and looked at the tiger-skin white wall in front of her. The bright red painted double doors were as bright as before. Inside the door, several concierges were looking over curiously.

Concubine Yao Xian narrowed her eyes slightly.

This is the home of her and Neyan, her mother-in-law, and her brother. The only place that can be called home is just the back office of the government, a temporary place to stay, and just like her mother-in-law, a temporary tool.

That's all.

At the gate, a middle-aged man in rich clothes hurriedly came out to greet him. Concubine Yao Xian lowered her eyelids and motioned to the maid to lower the curtain, "Let's go."

This one glance was enough. Neyan and she had recalled and talked about the past countless times. This one glance was enough.

The car turned around and headed back to the road. A guard met the middle-aged man, smiled and said a few words, said goodbye to the middle-aged man, followed the car that was already running slowly, and headed out of the city on the road.

Half a year later, Li Xia got off the car at the second gate of Yongning Temple. Concubine Yao Xian came up to greet her and bowed her knees to greet her.

Li Xia looked at Concubine Yao Xian carefully. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Shu Lang is so much better, why did you come back to the capital again? Didn't you agree to go north to have a look?"

Concubine Yao Xian stepped aside to let Li Xia pass, and while walking half a step behind Li Xia, she said with a smile: "On the day I arrived in Fuzhou, I thought about it clearly. The first thing is that the past is the past, but on this trip to Fuzhou, I still have to go.

Yes, Ne Yan's wish came true. Secondly, my brother and the others are very good, that's enough. I know they are all good, and I know that without seeing it with my own eyes, so there's no need to see it with my own eyes."

"Have any scruples?" Li Xia looked at Concubine Yao Xian and asked.

"Your Majesty, you are really..." Concubine Yao Xian just smiled, and then sighed, "On this trip to Fujian, after leaving this palace, I realized that in the past few decades..."

Concubine Yao Xian sighed lowly instead of saying the next words.

"In these decades, in the things that happened decades ago, to this day, I am no longer the person I was when I was in Fujian, nor the person I was on the way from Fujian to the capital. As my brothers know, it is

When I was in Fujian, I was on the road from Fujian to Beijing, and now..."

Concubine Yao Xian lowered her head, walked about ten steps, then looked at Li Xia, who had been looking at her, and said with a smile: "I don't want them to see me now.

The person I am now is not the person I used to be, but the sister they used to be is still that sister now. I have always been the sister in their hearts.

They are my brothers, just like before.

This is best now.”

Li Xia sighed slowly. She understood what she meant. In the past few decades, she was no longer the same person she was when she was in Fujian, and her brothers were no longer the same brothers they were when they were in Fujian. They didn't meet each other.

In my mind, we have always been the same as each other when we were on the road to Fujian. When we met, decades of time and suffering rushed towards our faces. This time, we were completely changed and the place was in a mess.

Indeed, this is best.

"I originally thought that you and your brothers would live a more lively life together. In this case, it's all up to you." Li Xia didn't say more, looked at Concubine Yao Xian and said with a smile.

"To be honest with the princess, I am quite afraid of the crowd now. Like now, I spend every day in peace and quiet, reading books and raising flowers. I can go out when I want. When the moonlight is good, I sit there until midnight. I talk when I want to talk, and when I don't want to talk, I don't.

I've never felt more comfortable speaking." Concubine Yao Xian said, bending her knees towards Li Xia, "It's all thanks to my empress."

"You deserve this. In this case, I won't bother you anymore. If you have anything, just send someone to tell me." Li Xia walked to the door of the upper room, stopped and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry about me." Concubine Yao Xian turned around and sent Li Xia off, walked a few steps, hesitated for a moment, and smiled with Li Xia: "My Majesty, don't laugh at me, I always feel that Neyan is here.

She has always been with me."

Li Xia paused and looked at Concubine Yao Xian.

"Don't worry, Madam. Neyan and I had countless ideas in the past. We wanted to eat this and see that. Madam also knows that Neyan and I have lived in the capital for decades, but we couldn't even walk through the Royal Street from beginning to end.

Now, I want to see, walk around and taste everything that Neyan and I have said and thought about. Neyan and I have been thinking about it for decades, and there are a lot of them."

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief, "Although life and death are not a big deal, I still think you should live well, for yourself and for Ne Yan."

"That's what I think, don't worry, Madam." Concubine Yao Xian's smile was filled with a hint of brightness.
