On the day of the full moon banquet, Shen Jiahe went to the hot spring pool to take a good bath earlier, and then asked Bai Ying to dress her up well.

The skin is even much better than before, Bai Ying coiled her hair and said with a smile: "The slave maid only needs to order a lipstick to see the queen's mother, and you don't have to be a fan of this face anymore." ”

The two were talking, the nurse and the palace maids had already come in with the little master to greet Shen Jiahe, Shen Jiahe saw that the sky above their heads was empty, and hurriedly ordered: "Didn't I let you put away the two hats yesterday, quickly take them out and put them on, and they have to dress up well today." ”

The two little masters put on tiger head hats, the size was just right, looking festive and good-looking, the nurse couldn't help but boast: "This is the hat made by the embroidery lady in the palace, the hands are really skillful, look at the eyes above, vivid!" ”

Shen Jiahe pushed Bai Ying forward: "It's not an embroidery girl, it's our most ingenious Bai Ying girl, it's because of the heart of the little master that we can make such a beautiful hat." ”

Bai Ying looked at the two children, and listened to Shen Jiahe's words, her heart was full of emotion, the hard work of sitting alone under the lamp at night to catch up with work was nothing at this moment.

Pei Yuan also boasted on the side: "Bai Ying is indeed skillful, and the bun for the queen's mother is also good-looking, and the little princess will have to trouble Bai Ying to take care of it in the future." ”

A room full of people were talking and laughing, and the chief steward outside the hall said: "Your Majesty, the queen, the Shen family is here." ”

Shen Ronghua came with the whole family, several people's gifts were put together, and a carriage was not loaded, Shen's mother had not come again since the last time she saw the child, and she really missed it in her heart, and after she finished saluting Pei Yuan and Shen Jiahe, she was busy going to see the child.

Shen Jiahe accompanied his family to talk in the outer hall, and after a while, Pei Hao also brought Jintai and Pei Niting over, last time Jintai sent a lot of things, this time Jintai came over and still did not come empty-handed.

She gave two pairs of gold bracelets to Shen Jiahe: "This is the best master, and the craftsmanship does not have to be bad in the palace." ”

"I already let you break the bill last time, how can I be embarrassed to collect it again this time." Shen Jiahe was busy and wanted to postpone.

Jintai handed the thing to Bai Ying: "This is my heart as an imperial aunt, and if it is for the child, you don't have to postpone it any longer." ”

After laughing for a while, everyone was clamoring to see the child, Shen Jiahe had to let Bai Ying go in and tell the nurse and the palace maid to take the child out.

The cradle was placed in the main hall early in the morning, and the two put the child into the cradle, and after a while, it was surrounded by people, and it became more lively than before.

At this time, the chief manager came in again to report: "The housekeeper of King Kang's Mansion has come to give gifts to the queen mother and the two little masters on behalf of King Kang." ”

"Butler?" Shen Jiahe said strangely, "Why didn't King Kang come himself?" ”、

Pei Yuan took the gift list handed over by the chief manager, glanced at it, and ordered: "Treat the housekeeper of King Kang's Mansion well, and prepare a return gift for me." ”

Turning his head and explaining to Shen Jiahe: "The two days of the military are busy with disarmament, and I let him be busy with this." ”

Pei Yuan had discussed with Shen Jiahe early on the matter of preparing for the Zen position, and going to the army to deal with military affairs could be regarded as a test for Pei Shu, Shen Jiahe thought about it and didn't say anything more, and turned his head to greet the guests.

Shi Xiangyuan and Lu Jiuzhi didn't enter the palace for a long time, but they still didn't feel unfamiliar with Shen Jiahe, and there was no estrangement, Shen Jiahe beckoned the two to sit next to him and talk, and asked them with a smile: "Is Mother still urging you recently?" ”

Shi Xiangyuan covered her mouth and whispered: "It's not explicitly urging, anyway, all kinds of hints are secretly rubbing, don't hide from the queen, we have been hiding from our mother-in-law recently!" ”

Shen Jiahe could imagine the scene of birth, and said happily: "It's fine after this while, but you should also hurry up, and the children will not be much older in the future, and they can play together." ”

Lu Jiuzhi pouted and said, "Yes, this queen mother also followed, it seems that there is no cleanness anywhere." The words made all three of them laugh again.

Mother Shen heard their laughter, suddenly turned her head and asked, "Have the two children been named?" ”

Shen Jiahe nodded: "The emperor gave him a name before he was born, and at that time there was a boy and a girl, but I didn't expect to use them all." ”

After the full moon banquet, Shen Jiahe accompanied Pei Yuan to send all the guests away and collapsed directly on the bed, Pei Yuan looked at her tired face and said: "I also said that I recovered very well, you feel unbearable after only half a day, I think it is better to rest for a while." ”

Shen Jiahe turned to the side and faced Pei Yuan: "The main thing is that this month is to eat, sleep, sleep and eat, and the physical strength will naturally recover slowly." ”

She didn't want to continue the topic, so she pulled out something else: "I'm done giving birth now, and the previous excuse is gone, maybe it won't be long before those ministers will bring up the matter of expanding the harem again." ”

"The draft is over, you can't have two drafts in a year." Pei Yuan didn't care much.

Shen Jiahe pursed his lips: "You can't make a big draft, you can always send people to the palace, anyway, for the emperor's concubine selection plan, you can always find a suitable excuse." ”

Pei Yuan laughed: "Is this angry or jealous?" ”

Shen Jiahe turned his head and said coquettishly: "No, I'm still very relieved of you, but I just think these things are annoying." ”

"Don't worry, these things won't happen." Pei Yuan comforted.

In the morning, not two days after they discussed this matter, Pei Shu handed over a reinstatement on the disarmament matter, which elaborated on the details and results of the disarmament matter, and Pei Yuan was very satisfied.

Immediately after this incident, a minister proposed the matter of choosing a concubine: "Your Majesty, the queen has now given birth to a prince and a princess, considering the queen's pregnancy mood before, I think there should be no scruples now, and now the harem cannot be empty, and it is necessary to enter the pedestrians." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, the royal heirs should be as many as possible, although the emperor now thinks that he has a son and a daughter, but for the royal family, the heirs are inevitably thin, and more people need to reproduce for the emperor."

"The ministers seconded it!"

Pei Yuan looked at the ministers below with a smile, there were only one or two sisters-in-law in their family at most, and the total number of concubines and concubines was only four or five, so why did he think that his heirs were thin.

But this kind of thing can't be said, after all, he doesn't have a concubine now, and they will also say that the royal family can't talk to ordinary people.

The ministers looked at Pei Yuan's expression, and they felt a little weak for some reason, they immediately thought of Pei Yuan's insistence on this last time, and couldn't help but want to say something about it again.

However, Pei Yuan didn't give them this chance, he looked at them and asked loudly: "You think my heirs are thin, but you just think about whether there will be someone to inherit the throne after a hundred years." ”

The ministers looked at each other, and it seemed that there was no problem with what they said, but after thinking about it, they didn't completely understand it, but Pei Yuan didn't give them time to think about it, and said again: "I have thought about it, I have a lot of nephews and nephews, they are all of Pei blood, and there are also virtuous people among them, I intend to elect a prince from among them, so that you don't have to worry about the Pei family's successor." ”

As soon as these words came out, the early dynasty that was supposed to persuade the emperor to draft the draft became the emperor to persuade them to elect the crown prince, and before they could refute it, Pei Yuan had already made a final decision: "This matter is decided, I will send the list of candidates for the crown prince to your mansions, and the selection will be held in the imperial study tomorrow, everyone must prepare well." ”

The selection of the crown prince is a major event in the world and the imperial court, Pei Yuan took Shen Jiahe to sit at the top of the imperial study together, and Pei Hao and several old ministers who were very important in the court were selected together.

"For the past dynasties, the salt tax has been a matter of endless debate in the imperial court every year, and this time you will make a policy on the topic of salt tax, and then I and the ministers will judge it." After everyone arrived, Pei Yuan directly pointed out the test questions, "Give you half a pillar of incense time to think, let's start now." ”

In the end, among all the conclusions, Pei Shu's answer was the most high, convincing everyone present, Pei Yuan nodded with satisfaction, got up and announced: "This time it is an essay test, and I declare King Pei Shukang the winner." ”

Pei Shu's younger brother Pei Che stood up: "Your Majesty, the micro-ministers are not satisfied, the salt tax is just one of the many problems in the imperial court, how can you decide whether you will win or lose with this question." ”

Pei Yuan sat down leisurely: "What do you think?" ”

"Wechen wants to compete again." He turned his head to look at Pei Shu, he really didn't know why he had such good luck, originally he had the worst relationship with his imperial uncle Pei Yuan, and he didn't want to be the most sacred.

Pei Yuan looked at Pei Shu, saw that he was indifferent, and he also had the heart to investigate again, so he nodded and agreed: "In this case, in order to show fairness, you can compare yourself with King Kang." ”

I don't know if Pei Che is too naïve or too confident, he didn't even think about it, and directly chose the disarmament of the previous day as the topic: "The country and the people will be disarmed, but we must also consider being prepared for danger in times of peace, right?" What if the war comes suddenly and there are not enough troops? ”

Even Shen Jiahe couldn't help but shake his head, such a question is equivalent to giving Pei Shu points, it is really a 'good hand'.

Sure enough, as Pei Yuan and his wife expected, Pei Shu's final answer was still the most convincing to everyone present, Pei Che looked at Pei Shu, who was still indifferent, and his face was extremely ugly.

Pei Yuan insisted and did not forget to teach him a lesson: "As a monarch, be open-minded and willing to gamble and lose, if you are narrow-minded, how can you love the people and protect the world." ”

Naturally, there was a martial arts test, and the martial arts test was held in a martial arts field north of the palace, and Pei Yuan and Pei Hao formulated the rules early in the morning and adopted the method of wheel warfare to determine the final winner.

"In the martial arts competition, the point is up to the end, and the qualifier is regarded as a loss." Pei Hao pointed to the range drawn in the middle of the school field and said the rules aloud.

There are not many princes who are serious about martial arts, Pei Shu didn't take much effort to get to the last round, he looked at Pei Che, who was facing him in the imperial study before, and shook his head helplessly.

The so-called is not that enemies don't get together, and it really responds to this sentence, the two have played a lot of games before, but compared to Pei Shu's light breeze, Pei Che is obviously still very difficult.

He looked at his imperial brother, except for some dust on his clothes, he really couldn't see a trace of fatigue, he let out a sigh of relief, in this case, he had no chance of winning in the open competition.

The two of them went on the field with their bare hands, Pei Che gradually fell behind, and seeing that he was about to lose, he took out a hidden mark from his sleeve and shot towards Pei Shu.

Pei Yuan sat not far away and could see it clearly, he tore off a jade pendant from his waist and threw it at the secret mark, with a ding, the jade pendant shattered in half, and the secret mark was nailed to the ground.

Pei Yuan flew up to the school field with a gloomy face, kicked Pei Che's chest, and saw the other party's mouthful of blood spurting out, so he scolded angrily: "I don't know whether to live or die, I can do this to my own brother, it's really damned!" ”

Originally, he wanted to make up for it, but he looked at Pei Shu sideways, but he still endured it, and only commanded in a deep voice to the guards on the side: "Take Pei Che down to me, lock him up, and let him reflexively." ”
