Chapter 178 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (48)
inside the house.
Bier listened to the voice, and after a while, she opened the window and saw that the tall figure had disappeared. She turned to Shen Fanli and said, "Miss, His Majesty is gone."
Shen Fanli nodded to indicate that he heard it.
Shen Fanli asked someone to open the window, "Let me see the snow."
Bi'er opened the window and said, "Don't blow it for too long, girl. It's a bit cold outside."
The snow started falling last night and stopped this morning.
The sky was still gloomy, thick lead-gray clouds covered the sky, there was no sound of birds in the sky, the chilly air brushed past the branches, and the red plum blossoms fell quietly to the ground.
The winter wind was indeed chilly, and Shen Fanli felt a little cold after just a short while.
Seeing this, Bier put a cloak on her. Shen Fanli waved her hand and turned back to the desk.
Jing'er came in from outside at this time and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey!"
She walked into the house, holding a black token in her hand, "Sister Bier, why is there a token at the door?"
When Bier saw it, she felt at first sight that this thing must be extremely valuable as she had stayed in Prince Qi's mansion for many years.
"Girl, maybe it was left by His Majesty."
Shen Fanli lowered his eyes and stared at the steaming tea without saying anything.
The slightly drooped long eyelashes cover the color of the eyes.

Dai Jingsheng should have returned earlier, but he encountered a mudslide on the way, and the weather was bad, so he went back to Jinling and stayed for a few more days.
When he came back, he first went to report his safety to Master Dai San, who then asked him to visit Yunlin Courtyard.
Even without Mr. Dai Sanye telling him, Dai Jingsheng was going to go anyway.
The servant at the side followed the man and said, "Master Dai is here, and the young lady is in the study."
Dai Jingsheng nodded and asked people to leave.
He had been here many times, so he naturally knew how to get there.
Before I reached the door, I heard his voice, "Fanli, look what I brought you."
If you don’t see the person, hear the sound first.
The maid outside opened the door for the person and closed it again after entering.
Shen Fanli smiled, shook his head, and put down the pen in his hand, "I heard your voice from far away."
Dai Jingsheng put what he was holding on the table, and the maid beside him poured him tea.
Shen Fanli asked: "Did your trip to Jinling go smoothly? I heard from my father that you encountered some unexpected situations. What happened?"
"It's nothing, it was just due to the weather, plus we met a group of merchants from the Western Regions, so we were delayed for some time."
Dai Jingsheng, like his father, didn't want Fanli to worry too much, so he didn't mention the danger at that time. He pointed at the things on the table and said, "Look, these are all good things, specially brought for you."
Shen Fanli grew up in Shangjing and may have seen many rare treasures, but he may not have seen things from the Western Regions.
Dai Jingsheng bought a lot of things and brought them back.
Among them, there are several boxes containing gemstones containing luminous pearls, all of which are of extremely high quality.
There are also some dried fruits, walnuts, spices and silk.
Dai Jingsheng had the big things placed in the living room, and he took some small items and valuables with him.
Shen Fanli took a look and found that they were all uncommon things, some of which were even rare treasures offered as tribute.
It really is thoughtful.
"Thank you, brother."
Dai Jingsheng waved his hand, "At least call me big brother. You are my only sister, so I will definitely treat you well."
"By the way, why are there so many unfamiliar faces here? Did something happen? Did you hire more people?"
Dai Jingsheng felt that those people were completely different from ordinary servants and thugs; they were like specialized killers.
It gave Dai Jingsheng a sense of danger.
Especially the man practicing sword that I met after entering Yunlinyuan.
"And that guy practicing swordsman, is he from the martial arts world?"
Shen Fanli originally wanted to ask them to leave, but they refused to leave no matter what. When he asked them to leave, they all knelt down in a row.
Once, he was seen by Mr. Dai San, who came over and told the person to stay after understanding the whole story.
This is an expert among experts, protecting those around the emperor.
No use, no use!
The Dai family has no shortage of food for these people.
Shen Fanli looked at the gem in the box, which was indeed rare. "No, it belongs to the new emperor."
"When I was in Jinling, I heard that the new emperor was on a southern tour. My father also said that he was indeed coming. I didn't expect that he had such a close relationship with you that he even left someone to protect you."
Seeing that Shen Fanli didn't want to talk more about the new emperor, Dai Jingsheng didn't mention it either.
He looked at something on the table and asked, "Why do you carry this string of Buddhist beads with you all day long?"
Dai Jingsheng picked up the string of Buddhist beads from the table and looked at the dozens of strings of Buddhist beads on the side. They all seemed to be of better quality than this string of Buddhist beads.
However, what surprised Dai Jingsheng the most was that there were so many Buddhist beads in the study.
"Fanli, why do you have so many useless Buddhist beads? Are you planning to become a Buddhist monk?"
He wailed, "Why are you so depressed!!!"
"At this prime of your life, are you going to..."
Shen Fanli snorted coldly when he heard Dai Jingsheng's screams.
He said lightly: "Dai Jingsheng."
Dai Jingsheng stopped talking and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
"Just stop talking and drink your tea."
Dai Jingsheng drank his tea, glanced at Shen Fanli, and muttered, "You didn't even call me Big Brother, that's too much."
The maidservant beside heard the conversation between the two, filled Dai Jingsheng's tea cup, and said with a smile: "Master, you misunderstood. Those Buddhist beads were sent by His Majesty, not by the young lady."
"There are still many in the young lady's room."
Shen Fanli looked at the Buddhist beads in Dai Jingsheng's hand and said, "You can take them if you like."
After saying this, Song Liaoye exclaimed, "Why did this Buddhist bead suddenly become hot!"
Song Liaoye only felt the warmth in his hands, which was different from the cool and refreshing feeling just now.
Shen Fanli took the Buddhist beads from Dai Jingsheng. The string had returned to its original state, and a golden light flashed on the beads at an extremely fast speed.
Not observable with the naked eye.
Shen Fanli threw the Buddhist beads to the person, "Here, okay, take it."
Dai Jingsheng sighed and scratched his head. "This is really strange. It's cold again. It seems that this Buddhist rosary is suitable for you, but not for me."
If it weren't for this anomaly, Dai Jingsheng might have really taken the Buddhist beads away.
On the day Song Liaoye left, the string of Buddhist beads was frighteningly hot in Fanli's hands.
Fanli had originally lost the string of Buddhist beads, but later they appeared in her house out of nowhere, and seemed to be glowing in the night.
It is so conspicuous that people can't help but see it.
What the hell!
Fanli had no choice but to leave it behind.
She asked 001 what it was, and 001 just said it was the relics of a great monk and contained Buddha nature.
As for how it reappeared out of nowhere after being lost, 001 had no idea.
He said that maybe Fanli had a connection with Buddhism.
One morning, Fanli woke up and found that the Buddhist beads had disappeared again.
If it weren't for the system's confirmation and affirmation, Fanli would have thought this was a supernatural world.
