No.

Still different.

Whether when he was a prince or now as an emperor, Nangong Xuanyu has had many children.

Other children had already called him father.

But she only has Ah Xu.

The feeling he had when hearing his child calling him for the first time was different from the last time Nangong Xuanyu heard Ah Xu call him "Father".

Shen Zhinian carried the Fourth Prince into the inner room, and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Mother didn't come back with me last night. Was Ah Xu well behaved at night?"

The Fourth Prince was still unable to utter a complete sentence, and the nurse standing beside him reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, when I brought the Fourth Prince back from the Hall of Supreme Harmony last night, he fell asleep on the way and did not make any noise at night."

"He woke up this morning and saw that you were not there, so he made a fuss to look for you."

Shen Zhinian gently touched the fourth prince's cheek: "Ah Xu is so good."

Next, she played with the Fourth Prince for a while.

Shen Zhinian had other things to do, so he asked the wet nurse to take him away.

Then she waved her hand: "You all go down first."

"Yes."

In a blink of an eye, only the confidants were left in the inner room.

They understood that the Queen had something important to tell them.

Fuqiu lowered her head and asked, "What instructions does the queen have?"

After his rebirth, Shen Zhinian only wanted wealth and power, and had no interest in the little things from his previous life.

But what happened at the palace banquet last night reminded her of the lover in her previous life, Yu Yanzhi, the descendant of the Yu family who possessed the original painting of "Fishing Alone on the Cold River".

Although he was a descendant of Master Yu Bai, he was not good at painting, but he had a great talent in water conservancy construction.

However, the Yu family had long since fallen into decline, and the family business had been squandered by previous generations. Yu Yanzhi had nothing left except the original painting of "Fishing Alone on the Cold River".

He knew that if a brick fell in the capital, it could hit several royal relatives. With his ability, he could not protect "Fishing Alone on a Cold River" at all, and it might even bring him a fatal disaster, let alone realize his ambitions.

In his previous life, Shen Zhinian learned about Yu Yanzhi's talent and ability and recommended him to the Du Shui Si of the Ministry of Works to manage water conservancy affairs.

He did not disappoint Shen Zhinian and made a significant contribution to the development of water conservancy in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In this life, putting aside Yu Yanzhi's handsome face, Shen Zhinian was in need of people, so naturally he wanted to recruit this talent.

Judging from the time, Yu Yanzhi in this life should still be living in the capital, hiding his identity and leading a poor life.

With the understanding from her previous life, it would be easy for her to gain Yu Yanzhi's trust in this life.

Shen Zhinian looked at Xiao Zhouzi and ordered: "Go out of the palace to Maoer Hutong and find a man named 'Yu Yanzhi' to do something for me..."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhouzi was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "I understand!"

……

Seeing her husband going out again early in the morning, a beautiful woman frowned slightly: "...Husband, why do you always go out early and come back late these days? Sometimes...you don't even come back all night?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiu turned around and looked at the woman: "A real man should do something. Madam, do you want me to stay in the backyard and indulge in cosmetics?"

The beautiful woman said quickly: "That's not what I meant..."

Lin Xiu gently touched her cheek and said in a slow tone, "I am doing this so that I can earn you a title as soon as possible without relying on the protection of my family."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman felt a sudden sweetness in her heart.

Although she still had many doubts in her heart, when she met Lin Xiu's affectionate eyes, all she said became: "My husband has been working hard outside, so you must take care of yourself."

Lin Xiu nodded, gave a few gentle instructions, and went out.

The beautiful woman looked at his back, biting her lip, looking like she was troubled...

The maid came up to her and asked with concern, "Young Madam, what are you thinking about?"

The beautiful woman sighed: "Although my husband has always said that he is busy with official business outside and wants to earn an imperial decree for me as soon as possible. But I always feel that my husband seems to be hiding something from me..."

"Especially when he came back several times, he always smelled like a woman's makeup. I was confused, but I didn't dare to ask..."

So as to avoid being known as suspicious and jealous.

The maid asked in astonishment, "Madam, do you suspect that the young master is having affairs outside?"

"You shouldn't..."

"Ever since you married the young master, he has been gentle and considerate to you, and he doesn't like to hang out in brothels. How could this happen?"

The beautiful woman sat down, and the worry between her brows became even more intense: "If it's about seeking pleasure, then I won't worry about it."

"I understand that it is common for men to go to brothels when they are out on business. They are just playing around with those prostitutes."

"I'm worried that my husband might be infatuated with a woman outside..."

The maid immediately became alarmed: "Madam, what should we do?"

Her interests are tied together with the young lady's. Naturally, she doesn't want the young master to have a mistress outside and threaten the young lady's position.

The beautiful woman understood that as a qualified wife, she should not rashly spy on her husband's whereabouts when he was outside.

But she was really worried that her husband's heart had been seduced away by a vixen outside.

Finally, the beautiful woman made up her mind and said through gritted teeth, "Take some money and let people see where your husband has been recently."

"Remember, find someone who keeps a tight lid on you so your husband won't notice."

The maid immediately said, "Yes, I understand!"

Suburbs of Beijing.

summer resort.

As usual, Luluo carried a basin of water into the room and helped Shen Nanqiao wash and dress: "Madam, it's time to get up."

However, there was no response from the inner room.

Green Rose had no choice but to call out again: "Madam, it's getting late, you should get up."

The room was still silent...

Only then did Luoluo realize something was wrong. She quickly walked forward and lifted the bed curtain, only to find the bed was empty.

At first, Green Radish didn’t think much about it.

This was more than one or two times that the Madam had gotten up early to have a tryst with Master Lin.

Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Master Lin went back to spend the holiday with his family, and his wife was very disappointed. Perhaps today, Master Lin came early, and his wife couldn't wait to see him.

Luoluo went out with the basin of water, ready to finish today's chores first, and wait for her wife to come back here.

Who knew that she had only done half of it when the servant beside Lin Xiu came over.

This was not the first time that he had come to deliver a message to Luluo on Lin Xiu's orders. He said with ease, "Miss Luluo, my master invites Miss Shen to meet at the old place at noon today."

Luoluo dropped the thing in her hand to the ground and asked in surprise, "Didn't my wife go to see Master Lin early in the morning?!"
