307 Arrival
Since Emperor Qinglong can be silent, it is not silent, at least the old man Chen, Chen Houwen and even Shen Duanrong, who live in the outer courtyard, are all accompanied, but since he can go to their residence in the inner courtyard, it must be because he insisted.
He is the emperor.
If he insists, others will have to submit.
Therefore, Mrs. Shen Si was reminding Shen Si that blocking the door like this would not help at all, but would make the situation worse. She has never called Shen Si "master", nor has she ever called herself "concubine". This kind of title is the usual title used between ordinary couples, but she has always refused to use it.
But today, in front of Emperor Qinglong, she naturally blurted out.
Master Shen Si was stunned, quickly understood, let go of the reason, and led Emperor Qinglong to the side hall, while respectfully saying: "The emperor forgives the sin, please go to the side hall with Weichen When Weichen was an official in Yueyang, he got some black tea picked and made from the deep mountains in the southwest, which can still be eaten, and dare to ask the emperor to taste it." ”
Yes, Emperor Qinglong came to their house in Weifu, although it was a bit rude to go directly to their inner residence, but as the host's family, they always had to entertain distinguished guests. Fortunately, there are a lot of houses in his courtyard, and he and Mrs. Shen Si don't like people living in the same courtyard, so they sorted out a side hall and put some books, they use them occasionally, and Shen Duanrong occasionally uses them. It's best to entertain guests at this time.
What made Shen Si even happier was that his wife called herself "Shen Chen" when she saw the ceremony and stood with him! This made Master Shen Si give birth to boundless courage!
"Black tea?" Emperor Qinglong asked casually.
His eyes were still lingering on Mrs. Shen's face, reminiscing about those past times. And she looks the same as ever! Emperor Qinglong even remembered it clearly. She used to look at herself with affection and smile like a flower! And he ...... Emperor Qinglong remembered the past, and his heart that had been silent for a long time thumped, and there was more emotion in his eyes.
But she didn't look at him.
She faced him, respectful and polite, polite but detached, like, like......
Emperor Qinglong couldn't even find anything to describe it.
She is not like his queen (those women in the palace, even if she pretends to be cold, it is a deliberate flattery; She's not like those women who flatter. Only he said casually. It can give them great benefits......
Emperor Qinglong even saw the vigilance from Mrs. Shen Si. It made him feel heartache and hurt -
He is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, and he is the prosperous monarch who dominates the world! Before stepping into this house, his heart was full of contempt and pride! He can be proud!
But why can't she see all this!
"Deep mountains in the southwest. It's hot and humid. Legend has it that the people there picked tea leaves and put them in baskets...... After fermentation...... It can protect the liver and eliminate food......" Master Shen Si told him about the origin of black tea. The voice became louder and louder, as if he didn't notice that Emperor Qinglong was not listening at all.
The group walked to the side hall, and Mrs. Shen Si led Shen Rou to salute and leave.
She's a woman. But Emperor Qinglong is a male guest.
"Junyi......" Emperor Qinglong suddenly blurted out.
"Your Majesty is cautious!" Old Man Chen said sternly.
Emperor Qinglong came back to his senses, and inadvertently looked at Chen Houwen and Shen Duanrong's surprised eyes, as if to explain to the two of them, and also to defend himself, and said: "I and my wife are old acquaintances of young people...... I'm here today in Weifu, and Madame just thinks it's an old friend, so let's sit down and talk about it together. After a pause, he added, "If I hadn't wanted to talk to my wife, I wouldn't have insisted on coming to the inner house." ”
He kept saying "I", how could he be an old friend.
Old Man Chen was a little unimpressed, but he still said to Mrs. Shen Si: "You stay and make tea for us." Let people hug Ah Huan down. ”
Mrs. Shen Si hesitated for a moment, nodded calmly, and handed Ah Yu to the maid behind her. When the tea set was served, she began to make tea with her hands clean, with a demure demeanor and beautiful movements. It didn't take long for the smell of tea to burst.
The maid was gone, Shen Duanrong looked left and right, and took the initiative to serve a cup of tea for Mrs. Shen Si.
Old Man Chen showed approval on his face, and Emperor Qinglong couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He was tempted to get everyone else to leave. At least let these two juniors go. But obviously, Old Man Chen deliberately let the two juniors stay here and refused to give him a chance to speak.
This cup of tea was exhausted, and Emperor Qinglong didn't know what it tasted like.
"I ......"
Emperor Qinglong hesitated before he could speak, but was interrupted by Old Man Chen: "Your Majesty, the old minister knows why you came." ”
Emperor Qinglong suddenly became a little short of breath.
It's like many years ago, when he was still a little prince who was not very valued, in front of Old Man Chen, I heard him say: He is unwilling to marry a woman into the royal family.
This made Emperor Qinglong feel annoyed in his heart, but he had to endure it and not have an attack.
"This Chinese thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are finally no longer a few points, but in the hands of the emperor, you have completed the unification! In the future, there will be a strong writing of the Daqing Dynasty in the history of the Qing Dynasty! And this dynasty was created by you! This is an immortal achievement, you are a master of the ages, no one will deny this! ”
Old Man Chen said loudly: "You have been on the throne for nearly ten years, and your words and deeds are all in the style of a Ming monarch, so the old minister is loyal to you and Daqing, and is willing to do his best for Daqing and the people!" ”
The old man slowed down and said in a low voice: "You came to tell the old minister that the old minister had mistaken you back then." In addition, you probably want to tell her that she was not wrong in her vision back then! The old man pointed to Mrs. Shen Si and said, "Do you also want to ask her, and she gave up, is it a regret, does she regret it?" ”
"I ......" Emperor Qinglong opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
I only felt that the eyes of Chen Houwen and Shen Duanrong, the two juniors, made him feel extremely embarrassed and embarrassed!
"Your Majesty, this first point, the old minister can tell you......" Old man Chen said slowly: "You are the prosperous Ming Jun, of course, the old minister did not marry you when you were the prince, so that the Chen family missed a queen...... But Lao Chen still didn't regret it at all! Because the old minister didn't want to marry a daughter because he didn't mistake you back then, but just because of the ancestral proverbs, he simply refused to marry a daughter into the royal family! ”
"What about the Queen?"
"Your Majesty, your queen's palace has never been just the queen, but now there are several beauties. And the queen's phoenix seat, in the eyes of the old minister, is more like a position than a wife. Old Man Chen looked at Mrs. Shen Si and showed love: "And the old minister only hopes that his beloved daughter can marry peace and joy." She is the daughter of the Chen family, and the Chen family is both monogamous and a couple...... Even if she really becomes a queen, she won't be happy. (To be continued.) )
