Concubine Shu said the ideas given by everyone, and then said: "The concubine thinks that Miss Liu's mention is good, beating the drum and passing the flowers, and pointing to whoever will perform, which is elegant and interesting." The martial arts competition that Jing Yatou said is also good, but we don't have to do it all in one day, and it's the same if we compete another day. ”

Both of them have said it, but they didn't comment on Shen Yan, although the king of Chu has plans for the Shen family, but as a mother, she still doesn't want to see Shen Yan as a daughter-in-law in her heart, Shen Yan is too shrewd, transparent everywhere, plus the Shen family is powerful, if the king of Chu ascends to the throne at that time, Shen Yan has the backing of the Shen family, then she, the queen mother, has no weight in speaking in the court.

She has been suppressed by the queen for so many years, although the emperor's grace continues, but the status is always aggrieved, and it is easy for the king of Chu to get the throne, how can she be willing to retire to Cining Palace to be a queen mother far away from the world? But the king of Chu has a plan, but she can only help him get closer to Hua's mother and daughter, in short, she can marry her, and it won't make her too prestigious.

Who knew that when the emperor heard about the horse race, he couldn't help but stop looking at the action and turned his head: "You said that Shen Yan also mentioned horse racing?" ”

Concubine Shu was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "The wild goose girl is still young, she is open-mouthed when we talk in private, and Your Majesty doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

The emperor did not see joy or anger on his face, and was silent for a moment in front of the palace lamp erected under the curtain, then suddenly stood up, paced along the danqiao a few times, and said, "The idea of horse racing is excellent. No matter who wins this battle in Dongliao, it will be a big hidden danger in the end, and the next step is to add border defense and military affairs! ―― Cheng Wei came in to announce the decree, and rewarded Shen Yan with a pearl and four Yunjin horses! ”

Concubine Shu never expected that things would be like this, so she didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so she hurriedly called Cheng Wei.

As soon as the will came, Hua immediately glanced at Shen Yan deeply, and pursed his lips and nodded at the tip of her forehead.

Shen Yan dug up the pearl as a stone to play, but he didn't feel much surprised.

The Duchess of the Protector and Mrs. Liu also knew about it.

Xue Jing was very happy, because she had never gambled on horses, and Shen Yanxia said that she had already thought that horse racing was a good idea. The Duchess of Huguo, who had fought with her husband in the south and the north, also smiled at Shen Yan's mention during the day, but she couldn't help but groan seriously, and after a while, she couldn't help but smile and hold the tea, and said to herself: "I really don't know if this girl did it intentionally or by mistake." ”

However, the atmosphere on Mrs. Liu's side was not as cheerful as this.

I have just eaten here, and when everyone is ready for a while, I will listen to the order and set off to the mountain to barbecue. Liu Manru took advantage of this time to play crossword puzzles with the maids while waiting, and when she heard that the emperor not only adopted Shen Yan's idea, but also rewarded her, the smile on her face gradually faded back.

Mrs. Liu saw it from the side and said, "Shen Mi is just favored, and it is nothing for the emperor to reward her with face." It's that Concubine Shu is extra enthusiastic about her, and that is also the face of the Shen family. You also put your mind at ease, she has nothing to do with you, don't learn from those girls from small families, your eyelids are shallow. ”

Mrs. Liu is Gu Zhicheng's cousin, Gu Song's cousin, although there is still a distance between her mother's family and the Rongguo Mansion, but she usually has contacts from time to time, the Rongguo Mansion is so close to the Shen family, she naturally knows more about the Shen family than others. Liu Man is her youngest daughter, but she has never been particularly pampered since she was a child, but has carefully cultivated her to become a truly virtuous and gentle lady.

For people like them, pampering their daughter can certainly show their confidence as an old lady, but in the long run, making her dignified and noble can enhance her own value and the reputation of her mother's family.

Liu Manru lowered her eyes and said, "My daughter knows." Looking up at the anagram on the table, he said, "I just think that the Shen family is inevitably too favored, what else do they have besides the family members?" In time, the benefits that the Shen family can bring to the emperor may not be able to be brought by my father. And the emperor would rather go and reuse a relict minister. ”

She looked at Mrs. Liu, and the gentle smile on her face was long gone.

Mrs. Liu glanced at her, then looked at the curtain floating under the curtain, got up and said, "That's it, it's just that your father and I are regretting it now, if only I gave up the position of the old man to Shen Guanyu." Although he lost an old cabinet, he gained the favor and trust of the emperor, and now he has been promoted to the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, which can be regarded as a high power.

"And although your father is in the cabinet, he is pressed by Zhu Zhifei and others, and he can't do anything. For example, the incident in the Wucheng camp a while ago, when he couldn't see that the emperor belonged to Pang Dingbei, did he need someone to support him? Zhu Zhifei is too powerful, they don't want the emperor to stretch out his hand to Xungui, so the emperor and him are helpless. ”

"So, in this way, the Shen family who retreated has benefited." Liu Manru pursed her lips tightly, her eyes unwilling. "The Shen family is used to coaxing people, Shen Guanyu and his son coaxed the emperor's favor constantly, and coaxed the cabinet and others to coexist peacefully with them, Shen Yan here is not a fuel-efficient person, just know her sharp teeth."

"You don't have to say a word," Mrs. Liu looked at her, "let your father know, and blame you carefully for the right and wrong behind your back." ”

A daughter is always the heart of her mother, not to mention that she cherishes her middle-aged daughter. But her husband has to be trained strictly, and she can only follow.

"My daughter won't be ignorant." Liu Manru stood up, walked to her side and said coquettishly: "I have grown so big, my mother has seen her daughter being scolded by her father?" ”

Mrs. Liu patted her hand with satisfaction: "You are obedient." ”

Liu Manru lowered her eyes and smiled, snuggling her mother's arms and squeezing coquettishly. There is a slight hint of drooping sight, as if it is an early autumn night.

Shen Yan finished eating tea in the hall and used melons and fruits, waiting left and right and waiting for no one to urge him to go out, at this time Xue Jing Han Yun broke in in and said, "Sister Shen, Uncle Ji asked us to invite you to the fire to barbecue!" ”

Where can Shen Yan stay? Immediately called on rouge, took the cloak and went out like a gust of wind.

When they arrived outside the gate of the West Three Palaces, they saw that Tao Xinghe Qun was already waiting there, and Han Ji and Xue stopped them and they were called by the King of Chu to arrange them first. Everyone scrambled to get into the car, and at this time, Liu Manru had also arrived, six or seven people with their entourage, riding horses in cars, laughing and laughing all the way.

Liu Manru abandoned her car and sat with Shen Yan and Xue Han Erxiao, and when the car drove away, she smiled and said: "I heard that you have been rewarded by the emperor, congratulations, we will not share your things, but we can't help but show that we have to toast you two cups in a while." ”

Shen Yan smiled: "If Sister Liu dares to drink, how can I excuse myself?" ”

Liu Manru pursed her lips and smiled, no longer speaking.

The fire was not very far away, just on the south side of the hillside where the horse had been running last night, where there was a large flat meadow where the stream behind Luang Mountain flowed, and on both sides of the stream were a few bushes of mountain thorns. Looking down is the border between the royal forbidden land and the village, and even the barking of dogs in the village can be heard clearly.

In addition to the soldiers and guards in charge of the guards, as well as the subordinates who accompanied them, there were twenty or thirty people from the nobles and nobles, but there were only three of the girl's family, Shen Yan, Xue Jing and Liu Manru, and they got out of the car, and Tao Xing led them to a row of tents by a path carved out from the side.

The tent was obviously set up specifically for them, and there were more than a dozen square tables on the other side separated by a bamboo fence, divided into two rows, and the children of each family and the young generals were all seated around the table, and in the middle of the two rows of tables were set up five or six fires, and ten or twenty baskets of pickled rabbit meat and chicken were all stacked together.

Liu Manru pulled Shen Yan to sit down at the table, and the King of Chu who was the first to see this side had already come over.

The emperor's decree to do Marseille was already known to all the palaces, and when the king of Chu saw Shen Yan coming, the desire to approach became stronger and stronger, and he pointed to the tent with a slight smile and said, "You guys go to stay in the tent." Stay for a while, let people gather a small piece of fire here, and when I go to socialize with them, I will come back and let us bake them by ourselves, so as not to make trouble with them. ”

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Shen Yan, and he smiled again: "What does Yan'er like to eat?" I'll have someone bake it for you. ”

Xue Jing said: "Brother Chu Wang is so partial, the three of us only ask Sister Shen what she likes to eat." ”

King Chu had no choice but to smile and say, "Haven't I finished talking yet, what does Sister Jing like to eat?" And what about Miss Liu? ”

Liu Manru said implicitly: "Manru doesn't dare to work for the prince." There are maids. ”

Xue Jing said: "I want to eat rabbit breast meat." ”

Shen Yan wondered: "Everyone else eats rabbit legs, why do you eat rabbit breasts?" ”

Xue Jing pointed at Han Yun with his backhand: "Because I know that he will definitely grab rabbit legs from me, I might as well just let him eat." ”

Shen Yan simply admired her high style and bright festival.

She has nothing to say to the King of Chu, she has only eaten dinner, how can she eat anything? It's just a fun picture. He said, "Let's take raw meat and roast it ourselves." "She's not used to any special care. Besides, it's not like she hasn't roasted chicken, although her craftsmanship is not good, but it's a process to play. She didn't believe that all of them, the princes and grandsons, could roast delicious rabbit meat!

There are tables and chairs in the tents, felt on the floor, tea against the wall, small pestles, and a chaise longue, and I don't know how they moved these things.

After settling down here, sure enough, someone came to set up a wood and make a fire, seeing the soldiers skillfully lighting a fire and adding firewood, Shen Yan felt that he was really too worried, how to survive in the wild is also a necessary skill for these soldiers, for them, as long as there is no sudden clear sky and heavy rain, there will be fragrant barbecue, okay?

Gu Song and Xue stopped sitting together, turning their heads to look at this side from time to time, but unfortunately there was always someone around Shen Yan, and he couldn't find a chance to come over and talk. Dong slowly came up with an idea: "Do you want to bake something and send it over?" Xue stopped and said: "If you want me to say, just rush over and forget it, a little girl, how much is so exquisite!" ”R1152
