Ten years have passed, and at the end of spring, the list of spring has not yet been released, and it ushered in the birthday of the Empress Dowager Shen, it stands to reason that even if it is a big birthday, the princess's new funeral should not have a big birthday banquet at this time, but when the princess was buried, the royal family did not completely follow the due etiquette system, a woman who was guilty of her own crime and was checked by her mother, who would be a child for her death?

What's more, there is a visit from the Persian envoy, and the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager Shen is like this spring festival, which has to be grand. The emperor specially feasted for the filial piety of the table in the royal garden in the garden, the willow waves swayed in the wind, and the warblers cried in the depths of the thick shade, which was a good place to go.

Because it is different from the previous banquet palace, the kings and princes, and the three grades and above have been posted, and the rest of the people who are good at drilling camps have also squeezed their heads and got their hands, which is impossible in previous years.

Qi Sheng also took this opportunity to go to Jiangnan to buy high-quality fabrics and came back, made a small profit, and returned two days ago, Qi Cai saw that Qi Sheng was tired, and she let Qi Sheng take a vacation these days.

Since the last spring outing, Qi Caicai has been hiding in his own courtyard to enjoy, waiting for Jiang Yanshu to retaliate, but he doesn't want to wait for the panicked Shen Zhiwei.

Shen Zhiwei knocked on the door when the morning light was faint, and Huawu Pingting had just cleaned up, and after opening the door, a man wearing a hat broke in.

The little guy closed the door, and the people in front took off their hats, and Huawu Pingting hurriedly made a thousand blessings, Shen Zhiwei waved his hand and said, "Go and call Shen'er out." ”

Qi Caicai was still nestled in the warm bed, and when he heard the noise in the courtyard, he came out in his clothes, and when he saw that it was the father of the Shen family, he saluted and asked, "Why did my father come here in person so early?"

In the past, Shen Zhiwei sent a small servant to say what he had orders, one was that Shen Zhiwei was busy with the official ratings some time ago and had no leisure, and the other was that there were many inconveniences in and out of here as a secretary of the ministry, which caused people to talk. This morning's sudden visit was a sign that something big was happening, and Qi Caicai couldn't help but think of the problem of Jiang Yanshu's heirs, and he didn't have enough confidence to speak.

Shen Zhiwei said to the little girl first, "Hurry up and hand the clothes to the girl." Then he turned his head and replied to her: "Quickly dress up, it's only half an hour, follow me back to the house quickly, and talk about it on the way." ”

From Huawu and Pingting for a while, Qi Caicai looked at the soft and lovely woman in the bronze mirror and felt unfamiliar, Xiao Shen's face should be second only to Qin Cry she had ever seen, but Xiao Shen's original skin was white, and the white at this time was piled up with fat powder, so he lost a little bit of natural agility, but he still had two eyebrows and temples, a pair of delicate eyes with autumn waves, and a dignified beauty, it was difficult to find the slightest trace of Shen Qin.

Qi Caicai listened to Shen Zhiwei's words in the carriage, and made it difficult, and the queen mother in the palace personally wrote a post asking Shen Xiaoshen to also attend the birthday banquet, and if he was still sick, he sent four chief and deputy judges of the Tai Hospital for consultation.

Empress Dowager Shen knew that Xiao Shen was fine, so this move was to force Shen Zhiwei to let Shen Xiao Shen appear in front of people.

"The people from the palace haven't left yet, and I have to see you, so I lied that you went to Zhuangzi and hurried to pick you up. The people who come from the palace are temporarily entertained by your mother, and you must be alert when you go back. Shen Zhiwei sweated on his forehead, and told him again and again.

Qi Caicai also knew that this matter was not trivial, and responded seriously, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart, so he asked: "My daughter has something unclear, since the Queen Mother is Aunt Shen'er, why don't you just say our arrangements and avoid this trip?"

Shaking his head, Shen Zhiwei said earnestly: "You are still young and don't know the many entanglements, although the queen mother's surname is Shen is indeed the queen mother of the royal family, she and the Shen family are now just taking what they need, if one day let her know that I did something behind her back to deceive the king, the Shen family is not only one of us, not to mention far away, your second uncle's family is an excellent choice." ”

"Then the daughter should not be too close to her aunt and grandmother. ”

Shen Zhiwei sighed: "No, Shen'er, I also have a question for my father." Seeing Xiao Shen nodded, he continued: "You should also experience some warmth and coldness in dealing with people these days, the game between men is far from the battle for land in women's backyards, do you regret it?"

"The father's words are bad, the family and the country are all over the world, and the land is not lost in hearing, but it is not easy, the daughter feels that the court is safer than the backyard, at least the men must find a reason to be called a gentleman, as long as everyone wants to be a gentleman on the surface, they will restrain each other, and the woman has no such concerns, and the secret arrow is difficult to prevent. ”

Seeing that Shen Xiaoshen was talking about things, Shen Zhiwei smiled and said: "Your opinion is also novel, since you have no regrets as a father, you won't ask much." After that, he sighed again: "After Qin Ting went, I reflected a lot, although your mother didn't say it, I also know that she hated me for forcibly sending Ting'er to the Western Regions, I hope you will think about your matter, at least there is room for regret before the palace test." ”

Qi Caicai nodded in response, the carriage was almost here, it was inconvenient to talk about it, the father and daughter arrived at the main house one after the other, and a female official was facing the main entrance, talking about something interesting with Mrs. Shen, covering her lips and smiling.

Shen Zhiwei coughed twice before stepping in and said, "Raid Yun Shanggong has been waiting for a long time." ”

Qi Caicai was stunned when he saw that the female official was attacking Yun Shang Palace, and Raid Yun also felt something, and before Shen Zhiwei spoke, he got up and said to Shen Zhiwei, looked at Shen Xiaoshen behind him and said:

"Seeing that Miss Shen has a good complexion, the slave and maid are also at ease, and it is worth waiting for as long as possible, so it will not bother the house, if you need any imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, I will take this post, and it is also specially prepared by the Queen Mother for the eldest girl. ”

When Xiyun went out, Qi Caicai suddenly remembered that he hadn't saluted yet, and hurriedly shouted "Shanggong", Xiyun turned around to look at her, she performed the palace ceremony upright, and said: "I have always admired the name of Shanggong, and I hope that I can still see it at the birthday banquet." ”

Only then did Xi Yun have a slight smile, and his chin responded, and he was sent out of the house by Shen Shangshu and Mrs. Shen.

Two days later, Mrs. Shen ordered someone to remeasure the size of the three sets of new clothes made for Xiao Shen in early spring.

Qi Caicai had no choice but to return to Dongyuan, her behavior was constrained by dogma, and she had to have a daughter's romance when she sat and stands, making her uncomfortable.

Originally, Mrs. Shen didn't think that Xiao Shen would make any mistakes in etiquette, but she didn't want to be unfamiliar with so much after just one winter and spring, so her anxiety forced Xiao Shen to practice etiquette all the time.

Even if she secretly complained, Qi Caicai knew that she was considerate of Mrs. Shen, and it was not as good as arguing with her mother who forced her to learn this and that in Shuofang, but now she understands her mother's helplessness, and she also enjoys the feeling of being disciplined and worried. There are two generations of foundation, and at the end of the two-day training, the gestures and steps are delicate but not flattering, and they are generous.

The Queen Mother's birthday is the next day, and she can only ask for more blessings not to cause trouble, and she doesn't have to meet people she doesn't want to see.
