Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sadness

One side is as thin as a remnant wing of the screen to draw the magnificent main hall for two seats, on the left is the male seat, Qi Caicai and Mrs. Shen went to the right side, led by the palace maid to the middle and upper seat and sat down, there were already many noble ladies sitting around, greeted each other, and waited for the nobles in the palace to attend.

There was a slight commotion on the male guest's side, so he listened to the eunuch outside to pass on His Majesty's holy drive, followed by the Queen Mother's Feng Drive, and then the prince and the four concubines and concubines.

Everyone hurriedly left the table to greet them, and after some tossing, they sat down again.

Empress Dowager Shen is the birthday star, everyone will revolve around her, the birthday gifts are dangling one by one, there are rare jade agate, there are unique famous books, there are "birthday star Antarctic immortal Weng birthday picture" authentic...... But the Empress Dowager Shen just looked at it with a slight smile, and she didn't particularly like it, until it was the turn of the Shen family to offer the birthday gift, Shen Zhiwei and Shen Zhibai brothers offered a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum plus a ginseng plant, and the Empress Dowager Shen took the birthday gift with a smile and said:

"Xiao Shen, what about that girl, I heard that she is about to recover, and the mourning family can't think about it, so come and let the mourning family take a look. ”

The predecessor Qi Caicai had a good sense of the Empress Dowager Shen, and it was fate to think that she had become her niece and granddaughter, so she walked over with her eyes in small steps, she knew that the Empress Dowager Shen wanted to find a family for her, but she didn't need it, and she didn't want to marry hastily.

"The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an, I wish the Queen Mother the eternity of the moon, the rise of the sun, the longevity of Nanshan, not the collapse of the pine, such as the pine and cypress, all of them or inheritance. Qi Cai Caifu sang Shoudao, and after saying that, he blushed and lowered his head, rubbing his sleeves.

This soft and weak voice is like Wu Nong's whispering, and the heartstrings are moved when you hear it, and the male guest has a son who has not yet married and is trying his best to look through the screen, only to see the back of a hired Ting, and the female guest has a lot of cold eyes secretly thrown over.

All this Empress Dowager Shen took it in her eyes, she was a little disappointed in Xiao Shen, and a little regretful, in the end, this child was still her father's victim, and it was inevitable that she would become a small family after being locked up in Dongyuan for a long time, but this child is still good in appearance and figure, and the foundation is good, and the rest can be cultivated. Empress Dowager Shen thought about it, so she called Xiao Shen to her side.

Getting closer, as soon as Xiao Shenfu raised her head, Empress Dowager Shen saw her appearance clearly, and unconsciously twisted her eyebrows again, why is this child's face pale, and there is no blood on his lips, is it really a stubborn disease? But even if there is, I don't know how to put on makeup on this kind of day?

Empress Dowager Shen looked at Mrs. Shen at the banquet with some displeasure, Qi Caicai was afraid that the Empress Dowager would trouble Mrs. Shen, so she moved slightly to the left to block Empress Dowager Shen's sight, and muttered:

"Please don't blame Shen'er, the Queen Mother just drank a few glasses of fruit wine greedily, but her face is red?"

Is it because she is not good at drinking? Empress Dowager Shen breathed a sigh of relief, stroked Shen Xiaoshen's hand and smiled kindly:

"I like this plum wine, and when I go back, I will take a few jars, but I have been sick for so long and probably have some sequelae, so don't be greedy. Alas, speaking of which, it is endless chatter, and before you know it, you little beans have grown up, and you have not been together for many years, so you can meet your sister and brother-in-law, and call the prince and let him meet his cousin. When you are old, you are happy to see your children and grandchildren around your knees. ”

After getting the order, King Muyang crossed the screen to the women's table and greeted Shen Xiaoshen, saying that he and Shen Xiaone have been married for nearly four years, but King Muyang has never seen Xiao Ne, a cousin who has been famous in Kyoto since he was a child, only glanced at it and felt that this woman was white-skinned, like a ghost, and the comparison between the two still felt that Xiao Ne was beautiful.

Shen Xiaone herself is also the first time to see Shen Xiaoshen for many years, the person in front of her is very different from the Xiao Shen who is stronger than her everywhere in her memory, at least the previous Xiao Shen will never be cowardly on this occasion, the Queen Mother chose Xiao Shen to be the princess instead of herself because Xiao Shen, who was only two years old and immature, saw the majesty of the palace, and saw the majesty of the saint, just blinked quietly, did not cry or make trouble, and the calmness that was not afraid of everything made the Empress Dowager Shen very happy.

It's just that now this girl who is so ashamed that she can't even say a word and can't find a cloth to block it has really changed too much, and the person who was so jealous that she went crazy in the past has become like this, Shen Xiaone couldn't laugh, she didn't gloat as she imagined, but felt that she was a relative, ignored Xiao Shen, and stood behind King Muyang.

The atmosphere between Qi Caicai and Muyang Wang and his wife was strange, and he was speechless for a while, Qi Caicai was worried about how to break the silence, and the prince on the other side of the screen went around to the women's seat and took Jiang Luxian and walked over, looking at the hands of the two Qi Caicai, Qi Caicai bowed his eyes and said Wanfu, unwilling to look at Jiang Luxian's raised lips.

"Oh, my cousin is no different from the rumors, a fairy-like person. Jiang Luxian will not let this woman who almost became the crown princess get close to the prince again, so all desires should be nipped in the bud, holding Shen Xiaoshen's hands, Jiang Luxian said again: "It's just that the body is sick, you should recuperate, look at your little face is pale, why bother pushing yourself." ”

Qi Caicai's body trembled slightly, his hands clenched by Jiang Lu were like a red soldering iron, and his long eyelashes covered the storm in his eyes from beginning to end.

"Xiao Shen has been pale since she was a child, and the imperial grandmother has said that she is almost cured, and the side concubine should still listen carefully to what people say, and don't think about it herself. Shen Xiaone spoke at the right time, and waved away Jiang Lu's hand that was holding Xiao Shen, with a face full of disdain.

Looking at Princess Muyang who suddenly spoke for Shen Xiaoshen, Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, she looked at the previous situation and thought that these two people had a disagreement, but she couldn't understand the thoughts of this madman, but she was afraid of Shen Xiaone, she had too many handles in Shen Xiaone's hands, no matter which one was enough to kill her, she laughed, and was caught by the red hands of the prince's arms.

Sure enough, the prince didn't dodge anymore, and even reached out and hugged her shoulder.

Qi Caicai still lowered his head, as if he had just seen it, and pointed to the starry mud stains on Jiang Lu's red skirt and said, "Sister Jiang, this black spot on your skirt is chic. ”

Qi Caicai knew that she heard it right in the flower garden just now, it was Jiang Luxian's voice, you must know that it is uneducated to wear dirty clothes to participate in the banquet, she used to disdain to worry about Jiang Luxian, but now she doesn't mind trying her hand at Jiang Luxian's pawn before the big war starts.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes looked at the hem of Jiang Luxian's skirt, especially Empress Dowager Shen, who knew what was going on at a glance, thinking of the pot Wei Zi's heart was annoyed, and her tone was not good: "As the crown prince's concubine, what are you doing in the mud?" But if you want to follow the example of the monkey who went to the sky and set off the birthday banquet of the mourning family?!"
