At this time, a group of people were still on their way back to Beijing
Later, after the end of the war, Shen Chenjing invested in the local government to settle the local homeless people, and then returned to the capital with Wan Tao.
When he first arrived in the capital, Wan Tao was like a puppy, pulling the curtain with great interest, lying by the window and looking at the prosperous scene outside, until he arrived at the palace, he was still reluctant.
Because the housekeeper in the palace was informed that he would come back tonight, so in the evening, the palace hung a lantern in front of the door, so that it would not be so deserted, and the carriage slowly stopped at the door, and someone was waiting there, and the next person took the carriage away, and the old housekeeper came out to greet him, and saw a child beside him.
"Eh, lord, who is this child?" Although the old housekeeper has gray temples, his body is still quite tough, and he saw a child following Shen Chenjing, the child seemed to be afraid of life, and shrank next to Shen Chenjing and did not come out, but his eyes were shining, as if he was curious about these things.
The old housekeeper instantly made up the story of the bastard child of the royal dog's blood grudge, and the other pointed eyes skimmed Shen Chenjing's body and coughed a few times.
In the end, it is a master and servant for a few years, how can he not see the thoughts of the old housekeeper, Shen Chenjing helplessly explained, "This child was brought back by me from the war, and he will be in the palace in the future." ”
"Oooh." The old housekeeper immediately nodded, and then said, "Lord Wang, the dish is ready." ”
"Hmm." Shen Chen nodded, took Lawantao's hand, and said, "Let's go, go eat." ”
"Okay." Wan Tao is obedient, and her little face is also very cute, and she is deeply loved by the older generation.
When he came to the dinner table, Shen Chenjing considered that Wan Tao was still growing her body, and it was the time when she needed to eat well, so most of the dishes were meat dishes, and she also stewed soup.
Wan Tao followed the barracks during this time, and was hungry for a long time before, but when he saw the delicious food, he hurriedly took the chopsticks and ate them.
The old housekeeper and the princess looked at their grandson with kind faces, oh no, watching Wan Tao gobble up, and poured a glass of water very intimately, asking him to eat slowly and not choke.
Wan Tao said in a vague voice.
"I'll have someone clean up a room later." Shen Chenjing only ate a few bites of food before stopping.
"Okay, I'll let someone clean it up." The old butler nodded, and then immediately ordered his subordinates.
After that, Wan Tao lived here, and it was plain but also full of fun, and every time he looked forward to it the most, after Shen Chenjing came back from the palace, he would bring some pastries back.
Royal Court Special Pastry !! It's unique, it's so delicious that it flies!!
Shen Chenjing came back to feed every day, and saw that Wan Tao ate with relish, and then asked quietly, "Is it delicious?" Wan Tao nodded frantically.
"The Emperor wants to see you." Shen Chenjing said.
"Uh-huh." Wan Tao concentrates on eating pastries.
"Uh-huh-hmm???" Wan Tao looked confused, and after swallowing the pastry stuffed in her mouth, a little panicked feeling came suddenly, "Why, why?" ”
"Otherwise, where did you think the pastry came from?" Shen Chenjing laughed, "Who let you make great contributions on the battlefield." ”
"Do you have to go?" Wan Tao showed an OVO expression.
"Don't go to the death penalty." Shen Chenjing said very kindly, paused, and added, "And your pastries." ", and then let Wan Tao play at will.
"QWQ" Wan Tao looked at the delicate and delicious pastries on the plate pitifully, whimpered, and then decisively stuffed a few more pieces into it, and said vaguely, "I'm going to die anyway, it's better to eat a few more." ”
"......" can be very peach.
It was impossible not to see it, and the next day Shen Chenjing packed Wan Tao into the palace.
In the imperial study, Wan Tao is sitting in danger.
The current emperor Shen Yueyang, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, is dressed in yellow brocade, just embroidery, it makes people feel that it is worth a lot, his face still has the youthfulness of a teenager, and there are even a few small pimples on the corner of his forehead, which are covered by broken hair, and he can't see it if he looks closely.
Wan Tao was given a seat, and his whole body trembled.
"Drink tea." Shen Yueyang's voice was serious, which couldn't help but make people a little afraid.
"Dododo......" Wan Tao shook his hand and held the teacup, the ceramic teacup kept making noise, and the tea poured was also shaken to overflow, Wan Tao was nervous, clicked, and broke the teacup.
Shen Yueyang looked at Wan Tao amusedly.
"I'm ...... Oh no, subordinates, not intentionally. Wan Tao shuddered and looked like she was about to collapse.
"Do you know how much this ceramic teacup is worth?" Shen Yueyang asked with a smile, his eyes were naked, as if he wanted to kill.
"How much, how much?" Wan Tao choked up, and secretly said in his heart, it's over, the prince is going to collect my body.
"You can't pay a hundred." Shen Yueyang's voice suddenly became cold.
"Whew!" Wan Tao was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground.
"Alright, don't tease him." Shen Chenjing saw that Wan Tao was about to cry, so he kindly stopped it.
"Okay." Shen Yueyang decisively retracted his appearance just now, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly fused somewhat.
Wan Tao thought that Shen Yueyang would come a few more times, but Shen Yueyang accepted it, let him return to his position, and chatted with Shen Chenjing.
Wan Tao was as quiet as a chicken throughout the whole process, trying to reduce her sense of presence, and quietly eating pastries.
The two didn't talk about government politics, but just chatted about some family things, which also mentioned the matter of taking concubines.
"The third brother really wants to marry the second lady of the Lin Mansion?" Shen Yueyang asked with interest, "Isn't it the second miss of Su Mansion?" ”
"Of course, it's Miss Lin Fu." Shen Chenjing replied lightly, casually put the teacup on the table, and replied a little casually, "If you have to be the second miss of the Su family, you can only be a concubine." ”
Shen Yueyang was helpless, the baby daughter of the dignified and important minister became a concubine, and the main wife was still the daughter of a petty official, and it was not a joke to die if it was passed out, Shen Yueyang shook his head and laughed at himself, "I can't go against the wishes of the third brother, but I don't know what the second lady of the Lin Mansion looks like, so that the third brother is so concerned." ”
"What else can there be, the love token has been sent out, can you still regret it?" Shen Chenjing lazily tidied up the corners of his clothes that had been suppressed, and when he saw that the tea was empty, he added it himself.
Shen Yueyang was stunned, and then smiled, saying that it was really affectionate.
Shen Chenjing smiled and didn't say anything, his posture had already put on a look of not wanting to talk anymore, Shen Yueyang moved his lips, and he didn't say anything more, but he said something to arrange the wedding date and prepare things.
Shen Chen nodded and said goodbye to Shen Yueyang. Shen Yueyang said okay, and when the two of them walked to the door, they stopped Shen Chenjing and said, "Third brother, do you really want to marry the second lady of the Lin Mansion?" ”
"Hmm." Shen Chenjing replied lightly.
"But as long as you marry Miss Su Family...... Shen Yueyang's tone was a little anxious.
"What happens if you marry Miss Su? In the DPRK and China to grow their power? And another part of the imperial court has been mastered? Shen Chenjing snatched Shen Yueyang's words, raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of incomprehension in his eyes.
"......" Shen Yueyang was speechless, biting his lip, but still didn't say anything.
"Sometimes I really can't figure out what you're thinking, Your Majesty!" Shen Chenjing deliberately said the last two words, as if he was reminding something, but he really didn't understand what Shen Yueyang meant.
After speaking, he left, and Wan Tao followed closely behind.
Shen Yueyang trembled, and threw the jade brush in his hand out fiercely, breaking it in two.
From the shadows came a figure with silver hair, a fairy-like man, indeed with a shackle on his hand, and the man's voice was a little ethereal, "I told you, everything is in a hurry." ”
"Where did I think he would marry the second lady of the Lin Mansion?!" Shen Yueyang said angrily.
"So what do you do next?"
"What else can I do?! Someone else. Shen Yueyang stabilized his mind and started planning again.
"Good. I'll arrange it. The man whispered, and quickly disappeared.
Shen Chenjing's carriage quickly left the palace, Wan Tao was a little confused by this play, so he wanted to ask, but he was afraid that someone would listen to him, so he waited until he left the palace before he asked weakly, "Lord Wang, what does Your Majesty mean?" ”
"Him?" Shen Chenjing sneered, the displeasure in his eyes covered up a bit of complexity, and said, "Who can see him." ”
Wan Tao knew half of it dimly, and wanted to ask again, but Shen Chenjing had no such thoughts, closed his eyes and rested, looking unwilling to say more. Wan Tao paused for a moment, and didn't say more, she chirped, and there was still the taste of sweet cakes.
Since that day, the Three Princes' Mansion has been busy with marriages, and the dowry alone fills half of the courtyard. Wan Tao only learned from others that the second lady of Lin Fu's name is Lin Jiafu, and her appearance is really a cold beauty, she is talented, and she can play the piano well.
After Wan Tao finished practicing all day, he didn't know where he had slipped away, and Wang Po couldn't find anyone, and Shen Chenjing couldn't do anything about him, just asked him to pay attention to safety, Wan Tao nodded, and he listened to it.
The day before getting married, Wan Tao found Shen Chenjing, and shyly twisted it for a long time before taking out a small wooden box.
Shen Chenjing opened it and saw that there was a fine white jade hairpin inside, which was very simple, but it was not bleak, the white jade was carved into a droplet shape, and the surrounding area was inlaid with silver, which was very detailed, and it could be seen that the person who made it used the heart, this hairpin is also very suitable for a person like Lin Jiafu to wear, and it will not look very gorgeous.
"I made this hairpin for the princess." Wan Taoxiao's face was red, her fingers were clenched, and she said, "My mother said, girls like beautiful jewelry." ”
"So?" Shen Chenjing was surprised when he saw this gift, and he felt surprised.
"You want to be with the princess!" Wan Tao put down a sentence, straightened her small waist, and said, "Otherwise, I'll run away!" ”
"......" Shen Chenjing was stunned for a moment, then laughed a few times, "Okay." ”
After Wan Tao listened, she didn't speak for a long time, lowered her head, and sobbed, not knowing what was wrong.
At this time, Shen Chenjing recalled that Wan Tao's parents loved each other very much, and his father spent a year saving money to buy white jade, and another three months to make hostas and give them to Wan Tao's mother. Wan Tao's mother has never worn expensive jewelry in her life, and at this time she scolded Wan Tao's father for spending money indiscriminately, but she was moved in her heart, and carefully put away the hosta, and she was happy for a long time. Wan Tao's mother usually doesn't take it out and wear it, so she is reluctant.
But in this war, I never had the opportunity to put this hosta on.
Shen Chenjing's eyes were red, and he comforted him in a warm voice, "Okay, don't cry, there is still the palace to support you." ”
"Uh......h I don't care, anyway, you and the princess must be together for a lifetime, and they must be together for the next life......" Wan Tao cried breathlessly, and what she remembered in her heart was the appearance of her father wearing a hosta for her mother, her mother was gentle and beautiful, this hosta was very compatible with her, and her father asked Wan Tao with a smile, asking if it looked good. Wan Tao threw herself into her mother's arms all of a sudden, and said that her mother was the best-looking. Mother smiled happily.
The family of three smiled warmly, and was full of warmth.
It's just that Wan Tao never had a chance to praise her mother again.
He had not cried since the bodies of his parents lay in front of him. But this time he really wanted to cry, he hoped that the prince and the princess could be as loving as his parents, and he hoped that they could live a long life and live this life in peace, and the next life.
A child is still a child, I don't understand much, and I only bless it in the most straightforward way.
"We must be together for the rest of our lives......"
Definitely.
Shen Chenjing's love for Lin Jiafu has been engraved in his heart forever from the moment they met.
