Emperor Zhaoping, who was in a good mood, didn't notice Cao's perfunctory, and naturally, Cao couldn't let him see it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Song Rulan and Chen were naturally even more unhappy, they thought that they were the protagonists tonight, but they didn't want to be robbed of the limelight by Song Runuan, Song Rulan still looked like a good girl on the surface, and the handkerchief on her hand and even the part of the leg with her skirt became a salted dried vegetable.
Song Runuan was very close to Song Rulan, and the resentment in her eyes naturally did not escape Song Runuan's eyes, Song Runuan laughed silently in her heart, and now she couldn't help it? The best is yet to come!
After the marriage, everyone seemed to come back to their senses, and they all picked up their wine glasses to congratulate Shen Hongxuan and Shen Hongyuan, and by the way, they would also come to congratulate Song Guogong for marrying his two daughters at once, and he was still the daughter of the family.
Song Guogong looked full of red light, and accepted the congratulations calmly.
After all, the two daughters can't weigh up, and for the sake of fairness, then no one will help. Therefore, Song Guogong can smile so calmly, and the emperor is naturally because of this.
Song Runuan still understands very well.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone began to send holiday gifts to the emperor, and the first thing was naturally the filial piety of the princes to their father.
The eldest prince sent a pair of jade carved bow ornaments, which was atmospheric and exquisite, and conformed to the personality of the great prince's generals, and the emperor was still very satisfied with it.
The second prince gave ...... Song Runuan thought about the scene behind her, she couldn't hold back her laughter, and quickly lowered her head to prevent people from seeing her abnormality.
Sure enough, the second prince got up, with a rather confident smile, took an ebony brocade box from the hand of the attendant, and said loudly, "Erchen recently got an enamel pine, bamboo and plum picture snuff box, I heard that my father has a good impression of this delicate thing today, so I took it, and my father smiled." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Zhaoping smiled with satisfaction on the corner of his mouth and nodded towards the second prince.
Shen Hongyuan happened to open his mouth at this time, "Huh? I didn't expect my second brother and I to be so close to each other, not only to give a wedding day, but even this congratulatory gift is the same. ”
"What do you mean?" Shen Hongxuan frowned, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
"I'm also a pair of enamelled pine, bamboo, and plum snuff bottles, could it be that this thing has the same name, but the thing looks different?" Shen Hongyuan looked innocent and frowned, as if he was thinking.
Emperor Zhaoping, who heard this, also felt very strange and asked, "Third child, your snuffbox is also called by this name?" ”
"Yes, Erchen also heard that my father likes this delicate and light thing recently, so I specially found someone to find it, but I don't want to ......" Shen Hongyuan's eyes were a little dazed and aggrieved, and Emperor Zhaoping's heart was soft again, and then comforted, "It's not that I haven't seen anything yet, and where do you know what's going on, don't worry about it first." ”
The ministers below all feel that it is too worthwhile to watch a good marriage show, is this going to stage a treasure fight? God, this treasure is bigger than something, and only the people have heard of it, but I didn't expect this palace to come out like this.
When Shen Hongxuan heard this, he was a little uneasy in his heart, but after thinking about the origin of his things, he became angry again, opened the ebony box, and a pair of delicate snuff bottles lay quietly in the brocade cloth.
"Father, please see, this is an authentic enamel, with bright colors and rich layers." The second prince said confidently.
"Oh my God! Second brother, this one of mine is the same as yours! Shen Hongyuan exclaimed in surprise, which directly made the originally happy Emperor Zhaoping's expression quickly cool down, "Third brother, what you said is true?" ”
"Naturally!" Shen Hongyuan couldn't wait to take the same ebony box from his inner servant, opened the brocade box, and the identical pair of enamel colored pine, bamboo and plum snuff bottles were lying inside, and he couldn't see any difference from the one of the second prince at all.
"What's going on?!" Before Emperor Zhaoping could speak, Shen Hongxuan himself was already panicking, "Impossible!" This pair of snuff bottles is a tribute from Persia and has always been kept in the collection of Jiangning Mansion, how can you have it?! ”
"It doesn't matter how I got it," a smile appeared on the corner of Shen Hongyuan's mouth, "Dare to ask Second Brother, how do you know that this pair of enamelled snuff bottles is hidden in Jiangning Mansion?" Could it be that you have any special channels that you can't achieve? ”
"You ......" Shen Hongxuan was about to distinguish, but he was suddenly stunned, and then his expression was hideous, "Third child, are you deliberately digging a pit for me to jump?!" ”
"The second brother has wronged his younger brother by saying this," Shen Hongyuan was not in a hurry, "Back to my father, this pair of snuff bottles was confiscated from Jiangning Mansion when Erchen was investigating the corruption case this time, and Erchen only knew at that time that Jiangning Mansion was secretly hiding foreign tribute!" Second brother Fangcai, he said it without thinking about it, presumably he knows more about Jiangning Mansion than my younger brother, right? ”
As Shen Hongyuan said word by word, Emperor Zhaoping's face became darker and darker, he had already pushed away the imperial concubine who was still tired of him just now, put his hands on his knees, and looked at Shen Hongxuan coldly without saying a word.
Shen Hongxuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he knelt down in the main hall, and said in a trembling voice, "Erchen has always had dealings with Jiangning Mansion on weekdays, and it is common to know one or two, and it is definitely not like what the third brother said, father, father and emperor want to be the master for son!" ”
Emperor Zhaoping looked at Shen Hongxuan fixedly, and sighed for a long time, "Second brother, don't you plan to tell the truth now?" ”
"Erchen...... I...... Ask your father to be the master of your sons! "In any case, Shen Hongxuan will never admit his crime on an occasion like today.
That is tantamount to admitting to the whole world that he is not worthy of being an example of the world, and then he really has no chance with the position of the Ninety-Five.
The entire hall returned to the previous silence, only Song Runuan snickered in her heart, she secretly looked at the opposite side, the third prince was also sitting in danger at this time, his expression was serious and silent.
It's just that he noticed Song Runuan's sneaky gaze, so he handed over a look, and only Song Runuan understood the smile in his eyes, which made Song Runuan completely put his mind at ease. At the same time, she also knew that Shen Hongyuan didn't plan to pursue it any further tonight.
After all, some things cannot be destroyed overnight, and they have to be completely rejected through disappointment and erosion again and again.
This truth, she Song Runuan understands, and Shen Hongyuan naturally understands it better.
Sure enough, after a while, Emperor Zhaoping said, "Third child, do you have anything else to say?" ”
Shen Hongyuan touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "Father, the son is dull, and all he can think of is this, and the son can't think so far about the things in the future, just ask the father to be the master." ”
