Chapter 149: Fortune telling
All the ceremonies were over, and the army began to set off under the watchful eye of the emperor, and the soldiers in front sounded the gong to open the way, and the people on both sides of the road greeted them.
General Shi rode his horse and walked in the forefront, and Pei Yuan and Shi Xiangjie followed closely to his left and right. It was when he was passing through the city wall that Shi Xiangjie seemed to have a sense in his heart, and the mount under him had just left the city wall a foot away, and he turned his head sideways towards the city tower above and forgot to glance at it.
Shen Jiahui's blue dress was like a pool of spring water under the bright sun, and it was cool to look at it in the hot weather, and he suppressed the urge to shout to her, and only nodded slightly.
Shen Jiahui looked at him without blinking, and finally did not miss this slight action, she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and stretched out her hand and waved.
The smile pierced Shi Xiangjie's eyes, and in a trance, it seemed to go back to the day they first met, and the girl under the plane tree blinked her smart eyelashes to thank him, and her heart instantly collapsed.
Pei Yuan was also turning his head to look at the top of the city tower, and there were figures floating around Shen Jiahe, but there was only Shen Jiahe in his eyes. General Shi paid attention to the movements of the two young people beside him, and only coughed lightly, and the two quickly turned around and sat up straight.
Shen Jiahui stood on the city wall and chuckled: "It is estimated that my father-in-law said about them." ”
Shen Jiahe only looked at Pei Yuan, who heard his sister's words, and said with a smile: "I guess I am also afraid of him, they are sad, General Shi has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and with him in command, my sister doesn't have to worry too much." These words were a consolation to her and a consolation to herself.
Shen Jiahui nodded, still reluctant to withdraw his eyes: "It's the first time I've seen him dressed like this, it's so good-looking." ”
The silver armor is draped, and the long sword in his hand is dignified, it is indeed sassy and heroic, Shen Jiahe has always been worried, and it is only at this time that he has the heart to take a look at the dress of King Xian, and instantly opened the corners of his mouth and laughed.
The army has gone farther and farther, and Pei Yuan and the others who walked in front can only see a vague back now, Shen Jiahe retracted his gaze and said softly: "Sister, let's go back." ”
Shen Jiahui nodded, and went down to the city tower with her sister, and the two walked to the carriage of the Shi family, Shen Jiahe helped her into the carriage and said goodbye to her: "My sister has a guard with her, and my sister won't send you." ”
"Be careful on your way back." Shen Jiahui lowered the curtain and ordered the carriage to go home.
The carriage left with a bang, Shen Jiahe turned around and was about to get on the horse and leave, but at a glance she saw Pei Shu, she withdrew her eyes without moving, thinking that there was no need to talk to Pei Shu, and was about to reach out and lead the horse away, but Pei Shu first reached out and pressed her saddle.
"You don't have anything to say when you see me?" Pei Shu wanted to talk to Shen Jiahe, Pei Yuan's life and death were uncertain, and now it was the time when a girl's family needed comfort the most, he thought about a basket of words, but the other party was about to leave when he saw him.
Shen Jiahe grinded his teeth, bent down and blessed his body: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." The palace has to rush back to the house, so I won't gossip with the prince. ”
"Gossip?" Pei Shu was unhappy on his face, "Pei Yuan was afraid that you would be worried when he went to the palace, so he wanted to come over and comfort you, Shen Jiahe, why do you want to reject me everywhere Thousands of miles away." ”
Shen Jiahe's face was pale, and a cold look appeared in his eyes: "King Xian is the prince's uncle, and the palace is also the prince's aunt, the prince calls the elders by their names so bluntly, it is really rude, and there are important things to do when the palace returns to the house, and the prince is asked to make way." ”
Pei Shu choked, and his face became even more ugly, but Shen Jiahe's current identity was indeed above him, he gritted his teeth and resigned himself: "I'll send you back." ”
Shen Jiahe didn't answer with a cold face, but when he let go, he immediately turned over and got on the horse, pulled the reins, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and rushed out first.
Pei Shu stayed where he was, with one foot still on the stirrup, and Alai, who was not far away, hurriedly trotted over, pouting for Pei Shu: "Prince, Princess Xian is too ignorant, you treat her like this, she dares to show you face." ”
"Shut up!" Pei Shu had a cold face, turned over on his horse again, and commanded in a deep voice, "Enter the palace!" ”
Zhou Qian was setting up an altar in his yard to help Pei Yuan pray for blessings this time, and when Shen Jiahe pushed the door in, he had just set up the sacrifices.
Just as he was about to put the things in his hand first, Shen Jiahe waved his hand first and said, "You do your business first, don't worry about me." ”
Shen Jiahe stood under the corridor and watched, and saw Zhou Qian wearing a Taoist robe, holding a peach wood sword and drawing a spell in the air, stretching out his hand to light the incense candles on the altar, burning a few pieces of rune paper, reciting a mantra, and sprinkling it into the air with water.
Zhou Qian hurriedly walked over, looked at the Taoist robe on his body, and then apologized: "Let me go and change my clothes." ”
Shen Jiahe was invited into the house to drink tea, and after the time of a cup of tea, Zhou Qian hurriedly entered the house again: "Today, King Xian went on an expedition, I thought you wouldn't come." ”
Shen Jiahe put down the teacup and arched his hand towards Zhou Qianyi: "You said early in the morning that you were going to pray for King Xian, how could I not come and take a look, thank you, I always let you change industries, but I didn't expect that there would always be something to trouble you to wear back this set of clothes." ”
Zhou Qian smiled indifferently: "I don't dare to throw away the things taught by my master, I don't dare to throw them away until I die, and besides, I have so much help from you, these are just a gesture, I'm really embarrassed to deserve your thanks." ”
Shen Jiahe was also not polite, and directly said another layer of thoughts that he had come over: "Can you help Pei Yuan calculate another hexagram and see what the trip is ......?"
She didn't say the latter words, but Zhou Qian could understand it, raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile: "You really believe in this numerology now, even if King Xian goes on an expedition, you have to ask about the good luck." ”
"I'm always up and down in my heart, and I can't settle down, come to you to find some peace of mind, I hope I can sleep well at night." Shen Jiahe said helplessly.
Zhou Qian looked at the blue and black under her eyes, and sighed in his heart: "Even if you know, what's the use, the border is thousands of miles away from here, so it's not that you have to worry blindly." ”
Shen Jiahe also knew these things in his heart, but he still wanted to ask, and seeing that Zhou Qian was unwilling to say, he said excitedly: "Just say that you are not counted, or that your Taoism is not enough?" ”
Zhou Qian didn't want her to provoke the generals, and only persuaded: "There is no general who is not injured when marching and fighting, even General Shi and General Gu also earned military merits by virtue of their injuries, why should you let me calculate a hexagram for you." ”
Shen Jiahe pondered the meaning of Zhou Qian's words, knocked his fingers on the tea table and asked him coldly: "Have you calculated?" ”
Zhou Qian was shocked in his heart, and he didn't admit it in his mouth: "No, why am I doing this!" ”
Shen Jiahe squinted at him and sneered: "Did anyone tell you that as long as you lie, the left end of your eye will unconsciously go up?" ”
Zhou Qian hurriedly reached out to touch the tail of his eyes, and finally looked stunned, and then turned around and saw Shen Jiahe looking at him with a smile, so he had to reluctantly admit: "Yes, I have already helped you see the hexagram of King Xian before, but you don't have to worry, the hexagram shows that it is a good omen for bad luck, now you can go back and have a good night's sleep." ”
"Every evil turns into good, every evil turns into good...... Then why didn't you dare tell me just now? Shen Jiahe looked at him suspiciously.
Zhou Qian pondered and explained: "This ...... Isn't that afraid that you will think too much? In short, King Xian will definitely come back safely from this expedition, you can ......"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Jiahe immediately asked, "Did you calculate that he would meet a big murderer?" ”
Zhou Qian didn't expect that Shen Jiahe was still entangled in the word "good luck", and he lost his patience for a while: "The big murderer is not only good luck, but the king has good ability, and General Shi is the same, it will never be fine, besides, don't you don't believe in these either?" ”
Shen Jiahe lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking for a while, Zhou Qian looked at her like this, and was about to say something more comforting, but saw Shen Jiahe suddenly look up and say to him: "I can't wait for him at home, I'm going to the border." ”
Zhou Qian was taken aback by this, and knocked over the tea cup on the side, the tea fell on his robe, and he roared while dusting the water: "You are crazy, how can women in the army come and go at will, if people know, won't they bring trouble to King Xian?" ”
"When I go, I have my own way to hide my identity, in short, I can't know that he has something to do, and I can wait at home with peace of mind." Shen Jiahe clenched his fists and made up his mind.
"But what will happen to the palace after you leave? What if there is any accident? This is a big deal, and you still have to think twice. Zhou Qian was still not at ease and wanted to persuade him.
Shen Jiahe pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Qian: "After I leave, there are only some subordinates left in the Xianwang Mansion, even if there are people who want to find trouble, there is nowhere to play, besides, if there is any accident, you can help me watch it." ”
Zhou Qian saw that Shen Jiahe had made up his mind, and knew that it would be futile to persuade him, so he had no choice but to nod, maybe with Zi Weixing by his side, King Xian would be able to better turn evil into good fortune, and the army would be able to return victoriously as soon as possible.
"Queen Mother, the prince said outside that he had something to ask to see Niangniang." Pei Shu went straight to the harem without stopping, and Gonggong Xu was worried that he would collide with the queen, so he had to ask him to wait outside first, and then come in and say goodbye.
The queen motioned to Mama Xu to put on her coat, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't the prince go to the school?" Coming back so soon? ”
"Yes, the sacrifice over there has ended, and the emperor has returned to the palace." Gonggong Xu bowed and replied.
The queen's hand raised through the cuffs of the gold wire disc pattern and stiffened: "Which palace did you go to?" ”
Mama Xu and Grandpa Xu glanced at each other, but where did Grandpa Xu dare to hide it, he still replied honestly: "Xing promised there." ”
"Xing agreed, I'm afraid I will be promoted to a concubine soon." The queen snorted coldly, and when she thought that the prince was still waiting outside, she just ordered: "Let the prince go and wait outside." ”
Pei Shu waited in the outer hall, and when he saw the queen come out, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Erchen has seen the queen mother." ”
"Let's get up first, I won't go to your East Palace to rest when I come back from the sacrifice, why did I come to the queen mother?" The queen asked lazily as she sat in her pineapple armchair.
Pei Shu didn't dare to get up, but still knelt down and said what he meant: "Erchen came here to ask his mother for something, and Erchen begged you to help Erchen recover Shen Jiahe." ”
Mr. Xu's heart jumped, and he subconsciously looked at the queen's expression, and saw the anger on her face, and hurriedly retreated with all the palace people in the outer hall, and the nephew wanted to chase his imperial aunt, if he knew such a thing too clearly, he was afraid that he would not live long.
"She's your imperial aunt, can't you still recognize this fact?" The queen was so angry that her voice trembled.
Pei Shu still lowered his head: "Erchen knows, but Erchen misses Shen Jiahe all the time, except for her, Erchen can no longer look down on any woman, she is obviously Erchen's wife, if it weren't for Pei Yuan's sideways, how could she be separated from Erchen." ”
The queen took a deep breath, but she still couldn't alleviate the anger in her heart: "The Qin clan started a war because of you, how many people are watching your performance coldly, and now you are still too busy to take care of yourself, and you don't want to use Pei Yuan's absence to consolidate your crown prince's position, and you are still thinking about these children here?" ”
"But without Shen Jiahe, even if Erchen sits firmly in this position, what can he do? Without her, Erchen didn't even want his life, and asked his mother to fulfill it. Pei Shu slammed his head on the ground and pleaded loudly.
"She has no feelings for you, and now she occupies such an identity, even if the queen mother has the heart to help you, what can she do?" The queen sighed, Pei Shu's infatuated appearance was really like herself at the beginning.
Pei Shu learned that the queen had relented, and he was overjoyed: "As long as the queen mother invites Shen Jiahe into the palace, the sons have their own way." ”
