Chapter 111 Beyond the Palace Wall
Wang Peng, who was following Shen Mengqi, looked at Shen Mengqi's finger, and he also laughed and said: "This is a special order from the emperor and the queen mother, so I won't allow it to be repaired."

"That's right, life is only a few years, and it is always necessary to leave some marks of life's growth in the long river of time."

Shen Mengqi's eyes were slightly red, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

I still remember that year when the apricot blossoms were lightly raining, she was still a baby who had not yet been weaned, and she always thought that freedom was beyond the palace wall, so that day she took advantage of the unpreparedness of the palace people and confronted her with the ax left by the carpenter. It was a chop on the wall.

It's not just that the palace wall has been in disrepair for a long time, but also because of her natural supernatural power, she split the bricks of the palace wall into several cracks with just a few strokes, and then she pushed lightly, and half of the wall collapsed.

I also naturally rushed out, thinking that I would fall hard, but was caught by the passing grandmother.

For this reason, the imperial grandmother was smashed several times by the bricks of the palace wall that fell later, and lay on the bed for a long time.

But when facing herself, the emperor's grandmother didn't say a word of reproach, and she said it to herself with a smile.

"Little Mengqi, this life is like this huge palace. You thought that the wall you pushed in front of you was the distance you yearned for, but after you pushed it down, you realized that there was still a wall outside the wall."

"When you overcome a peak, there is another peak waiting for you. In everything, you can't be happy too early, and you can't shrink back because you see the wall is still the wall, because you will push down one by one. Discover that when all the walls are pushed back, that is the freedom you yearn for."

At that time, Shen Mengqi only said these words when she was the emperor's grandmother to dispel her thoughts, but now that she thinks about it, she realizes that she was teaching herself the principles of life.

Today, she understands people's hearts and is doing what she thinks is good for Tianyuan Kingdom, but she is getting more and more divorced from the emperor's grandmother and emperor's uncle.

What she is doing now, she thinks she is good, is it right in front of her?
Looking at Shen Mengqi who was still touching the bricks of the palace wall, Wang Peng couldn't help but reminded: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is still waiting for you in the Palace of Compassion."

"Well, let's go."

Hearing Shen Mengqi's suppressed cry, Wang Peng couldn't help being taken aback. Is she crying, Your Highness the Princess?

Wang Peng looked at Shen Mengqi worriedly, but unfortunately it was too dark. Although Shen Mengqi was standing straight, her head was lowered, making it hard to see the expression on her face clearly.

Looking at the Ci Ning Palace, which was enveloped by warm yellow candlelight, exuding a sense of warmth and peace, Shen Mengqi could not feel the slightest warmth.

The once safe haven has become a distant place she wants to avoid since I don't know when.

After entering the palace, the Empress Dowager held a string of She Taisui and the emperor was sitting on the main seat with eyes closed and resting, waiting for her arrival.

Shen Mengqi knelt down directly and said: "Mengqi sees the emperor's grandmother and emperor's uncle."

Hearing Shen Mengqi's voice, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, his tone was not as cold and sharp as at the family banquet, but there was no warmth at all.

"Mengqi, so you still recognize my imperial uncle and your imperial grandmother. Heh, your posture at the family banquet just now, I thought you were going to force the palace."

"I also ask the emperor's uncle and the emperor's grandmother to forgive me. Mengqi was indeed a little reckless just now. But everything Mengqi did was for the Tianyuan Kingdom, and she absolutely had no other unreasonable thoughts."

She Taisui, who was in the hands of the queen mother, didn't even lift her eyelids, as if she was extremely disappointed in Shen Mengqi, and she refused to even look at her more.

"For the sake of the Tianyuan Kingdom? Ever since the former empress passed away, the emperor has never had a queen. This noble concubine is the master of the six palaces. If you move the noble concubine today, it is the foundation of the harem. If the harem is restless, the previous court will be restless. This is the reason Don't you understand?"

"Grandmother, the imperial concubine is unworthy of virtue, her feet are grounded, and her position is already dealt with lightly. It has not been a day or two since she colluded with the courtiers and formed cliques in the palace. If she dies, she will really make the previous court unhappy." Ning, the foundation of the country is unstable."

"You're still quibbling!"

The Empress Dowager angrily smashed the She Taisui in her hand to the ground beside Shen Mengqi. The Empress Dowager's emerald jade was scattered all over the ground, and a few of them were broken, which shows how angry the Empress Dowager is.

"The Ai family sees that you are a black man who is close to ink. If you marry the regent, you will learn his domineering appearance. You must follow your heart in everything, or you will use the country's national policy as a threat."

"The emperor asked you to copy the law to redeem your sins, not to take advantage of the loopholes in the law to deal with your own family! Look at yourself, what you are now!"

Shen Mengqi looked at her face full of anger and said kindly: "Mengqi is guilty, she is willing to admit punishment."

"Punishment is fine. If the regent sees me and punishes you again, I'm afraid that the iron cavalry from Nine Nether Thirteen Commanderies will enter the capital the next day, and the Shen family will change their surname to Lin!"

Seeing that Shen Mengqi didn't answer, the emperor continued.

"I won't punish you, let's take a step back. How about you and the regent not forcing me to change the palace servants in the imperial concubine's palace? Even if you sell the emperor's uncle to save face."

The conversation has already come to this point, looking at Shen Mengqi who is still kneeling on the spot, Wang Peng is a little anxious for her.

After waiting for a long time, I heard Shen Mengqi say: "Uncle Huang, Mengqi accepts punishment."

With just a few words, although there was no positive response to the emperor's conditions, anyone with a discerning eye could understand Shen Mengqi's choice.

The emperor angrily grabbed the vase next to him and was about to throw it at Shen Mengqi, but when he really wanted to throw it over, he couldn't do it, so he had to put it down, turned around to get the teacup, and touched the boiling tea in the cup. Still can't do it.

Angrily, the emperor smashed the teacup under his feet, "Get out and kneel!"

This was the first time the emperor said such serious words to Shen Mengqi. Without saying a word, Shen Mengqi saluted the emperor and the queen mother, then turned and walked out, then knelt down in the middle of the courtyard.

Looking at the Palace of Compassion and Ning which was slowly closing the door in front of her, her eyes that were colder than Hao Yue's were filled with tenacity and unyielding besides sadness.

Inside the Compassionate Ning Palace, the emperor looked at the upright Shen Mengqi kneeling in the courtyard outside the palace, he couldn't help but muttered with a smile, "I don't know who has followed this temper."

The queen mother said straight away, "My nephew follows my uncle, her temper is exactly the same as when you were young."

The emperor refused to admit it, "impossible."

The queen mother asked Wang Peng behind her, "Which way did you bring Meng Qi here today?"

Wang Peng replied respectfully: "According to your instructions, the Queen Mother, I came from the road that can pass by the courtyard where Her Highness the Princess stayed when she was a child."

The Queen Mother asked again: "She also got out of the sedan chair and left?"

"Everything is as expected by the Queen Mother. Not only did Her Royal Highness go down, but she also stayed in front of the wall for a long time."
