CHAPTER XVII
When Gao Lingyan appeared at the gate of the palace, he had already attracted the attention of many people. And seeing Gao Lingyan standing at the door and not going in, many people were puzzled, Gao Lingyan is a person, don't look at his age and those ministers, but that momentum has indeed overwhelmed many people, and even the generals dare not look directly at him.
Gao Lingyan stood at the door, attracting the attention of many women, waiting for Gao Lingyan to look at him one by one. But seeing that Gao Lingyan was just looking into the distance, ignoring them at all, he was even more angry.
But when the Shen family's carriage arrived, Gao Lingyan's originally cold and expressionless face did suddenly burst into a smile. Gao Lingyan walked up, and he didn't know what to say, but he saw the curtain of the Shen family's carriage raised, a white and slender hand on Gao Lingyan's hand, and a girl walked out.
"Nian'er." Gao Lingyan helped Shen Nian down and looked at Shen Nian gently.
"Brother Yan." Shen Nian also smiled at Gao Lingyan, as if there were only these two people left in the world.
"Ahem. Shen Qing and Shen Feng also jumped down, looking at the two who were flirting but didn't know it, and the two of them coughed twice in tacit understanding. These two didn't see the eyes of others.
Shen Nian covered his mouth and chuckled, turned his head to Shen Qing and said, "Big brother." "I don't want Gao Lingyan to see my red face. But Gao Lingyan still saw that the tips of Shen Nian's ears were slightly red. The corners of Gao Lingyan's mouth turned up slightly.
"Let's go inside." Shen Qing said.
"Yes." Shen Nian stuck out his little tongue, very well-behaved.
Shen Feng walked slowly and casually between Shen Nian and Gao Lingyan, separating the two, and then Shen Qing and Shen Feng walked into the palace with Shen Nian in between.
Gao Lingyan looked at the two of them, shook his head and smiled bitterly, but also walked up and followed behind Shen Nian.
When everyone saw Gao Lingyan personally helping a woman out, they were all stunned, and later saw Gao Lingyan smiling gently many times, which simply stunned everyone's eyes.
But what everyone thinks has nothing to do with Shen Nian and the four of them. The four of them walked into the palace together.
Shen Nian seemed to be touched, stood still, and looked back in a certain direction. Shen Qing saw Shen Nian stop, "Nian'er." At the same time, he looked in the direction that Shen Nian was looking at, and frowned slightly. Anyway. Shen Nian smiled slightly, let's go. Turn around and keep walking. Gao Lingyan narrowed his eyes as if nothing had happened, but gestured into the shadows.
Xie Daolan originally planned to be in the limelight today, so that Gao Lingyan must see himself and overpower that Shen Nian. Just came to the palace and saw Gao Lingyan standing in front of the palace, Xie Daolan, who was originally going to come forward to say hello. saw that Gao Lingyan personally helped Shen Nian down, and even was gentle in every way. I'm so angry that I want to crush my gums. looked at Shen Nian's departing figure with a resentful expression. But he didn't expect Shen Nian to look back and see himself. Frightened, Xie Daolan hurriedly lowered his head. At this time, Xie Daolan didn't notice that he was already afraid of Shen Nian.
"Nian'er." Shen Feng seemed a little worried.
"It's okay, second brother." Shen Nian hugged Shen Feng's arm, as if she was coquettish.
"Yes." Shen Feng nodded. But I still wrote it down in my heart. You must take a good look at Xie Daolan for a while, don't have an accident, although you are a man, but you have seen a lot of dirty and messy things between women, and no one is allowed to hurt your sister.
Gao Lingyan watched Shen Nian holding Shen Feng's arm and coquettishly, and his heart moved slightly, when will Nian'er be able to do this to herself.
Several people entered the banquet hall. At this time, Shen Xing was talking to a few people dressed as military generals. Because after all, Shen Xing came to participate as an "official", so except for bringing his wife, he did not go with Shen Qing and a few of them, because Shen Qing and the others participated as children of the official family.
Shen Xing looked at Shen Nian and the others, and then walked towards Shen Nian after not knowing what to say to the generals beside him.
"Daddy." Shen Nian looked at Shen Xing with a happy expression.
Shen Xing touched Shen Nian's head, "Nian'er, remember that you can't act arbitrarily in this palace. But if someone offends you, don't be afraid, just take revenge and go back, and have your father to support you. Obviously, Shen Xing also knew about Shen Nian's divination the day before.
The corners of Shen Nian's mouth twitched slightly after hearing this, he really deserved to be his father, so domineering.
"Don't worry, Daddy, no one can bully me yet."
"The banquet is about to begin, take a seat." Shen Xing said.
"Yes." Shen Nian walked to the place where the Shen family feasted, and Mei Shang sat at the table and watched Shen Nian walk towards him.
"Mother."
"Nian'er."
Shen Xing turned around and walked towards the table that belonged to his own general.
Gao Lingyan also walked to his place. Gao Lingyan was very satisfied with his position, and as soon as he looked up, he could see Shen Nian, and Gao Lingyan said that he was in a good mood.
Shen Nian raised his head and smiled at Gao Lingyan, who instantly felt that his heart was sweet.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "It's good that Nian'er is back." ”
"The emperor has arrived."
"The Queen has arrived."
"Concubine Xi has arrived."
A high-pitched voice sounded, and everyone immediately fell to their knees. shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." The queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose. Xi Guifei An. ”
"Let's be flat." Shen Nian only heard a mighty and calm voice, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, but he held back. Gao Lingyan in the distance always felt as if Shen Nian had something to do, and just looked at Shen Nian.
Everyone shouted loudly again, "Emperor Xie." ”
Shen Nian was really speechless to the extreme of this royal habit of always kneeling, but he still obediently acted like everyone and didn't say a word. Standing up, she also stood with her head down, like a little girl who didn't know anything about the world.
Gao Lingyan in the distance looked at Shen Nianso, the corners of his mouth twitched, and Nian'er began to "pretend".
"Today is not only my birthday, but also a feast of flowers. Envoys from other countries are here, so you don't need to be restrained, let's get started. Shangguan Zhifei said in a deep voice. The corners of his eyes seemed to have seen someone, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he was in a good mood. This kid has grown so much over the years.
"Your Majesty." Another burst of chanting.
"Take a seat." The chief eunuch shouted.
Concubine Xi covered her mouth and smiled. The queen looked at Concubine Xi's movements, and also smiled: "Oh? I don't know what made my sister so happy. ”
When Concubine Xi heard the queen's voice, she instantly covered up the fierceness in her eyes, looked up at Emperor Shangguan Zhifei, and said softly: "I see that these children are so outstanding, I can't help but be a little happy for my Eastern Dynasty." ”
The emperor also smiled when he heard this: "Yes." The people of my Eastern Dynasty should be so vigorous. As he spoke, he smiled at Concubine Xi.
The queen just smiled and didn't say anything. Outsiders looked at the three of them as a peaceful scene, but they didn't know that the queen had already vomited sour water in her heart, this slut, this can also talk to the emperor.
"On the emperor's birthday, the emperor has prepared a big gift for the emperor. Even I, the royal lady, don't know what it is. The queen spoke up and drew the emperor's attention to herself.
"Oh?" Shangguan Zhifei is indeed interested.
Shangguan Hanao stood up directly when he heard this, and bowed to Shangguan Zhifei, "Father, the child wishes his father good health and longevity." As soon as he raised his hand, someone outside came in carrying something in a large cage covered with a red cloth. Shangguan Hanao waved his hand, and the subordinates pulled up the red. Originally, everyone was very curious when they looked at such a big thing, but this time they could see what it was, and they were all curious to look at it with a straight neck, even those official ladies were looking at it with a straight neck. Intrigued. But Shen Nian and Gao Lingyan frowned.
When the red brazz opened, he saw a big white tiger lying in a huge cage. Even Shangguan Zhifei didn't expect it when he saw it.
There were even a few timid official ladies who directly covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and almost exclaimed. There was a girl in a goose yellow dress who fainted directly. The palace maid next to her hurriedly found someone to carry her out. But Shen Nian saw that the corners of the fainting woman's mouth were slightly hooked, but when she looked closely, it seemed that there was nothing. Shen Nian smiled, interesting, really interesting.
Gao Lingyan looked at the woman who was carried down, then looked at Shen Nian, and shook his head slightly, these two people still have to meet.
"Hahaha." Shangguan Zhifei laughed. When Shangguan Zhifei was still a prince, he was famous for his outstanding force, and now he is even happier to see this big white tiger. "Yes, yes, the emperor has worked hard, come here, reward."
Shangguan Han couldn't hide the smugness on his face, and bowed and saluted: "It's good if my father likes it." ”
The queen was also happy to see that the crown prince had received the emperor's praise. Concubine Xi covered her hand under the handkerchief and scratched it a few times, but her face was also happy. I didn't expect the queen to give such a gift for the emperor's birthday, which is really troublesome. Concubine Xi's eyes were dark. Didn't say anything.
"Haha, the prince is really mighty, he actually captured such a big tiger." Concubine Xi covered her mouth and chuckled.
The queen chuckled in her heart, which can be said to be filial piety, or it can be said to overshadow the emperor. The queen quietly glanced at the emperor, saw that Shangguan Zhifei's face had not changed, and quietly exhaled. took the words of Concubine Xi, "The emperor is nothing, even if it can be worthy of the saint, it will be my blessing as an imperial mother." ”
"I don't know what the four princes have prepared for the emperor." The queen looked at Concubine Xi gently, as if the two were really good sisters.
Concubine Xi was ruthless in her heart, the temperament of her own four princes was really good, he didn't want the gifts he had prepared for the emperor for him, but as a prince, he was in love with the mountains and rivers all day long, what about the talent, I don't know how to listen to my own arrangement. Thinking so in her heart, Concubine Xi looked at the fourth prince Shangguan Hansu with a smile.
said that Shangguan Hansu originally saw Shen Nian and wanted to say hello, but then the emperor came, and then took a seat, so he had no chance. Hearing Concubine Xi and the queen talking just now, Shangguan Hansu knew that he was annoyed again today. No, it's yourself again. Shangguan Hansu got up from his seat, walked in front of the emperor, and saluted the emperor, "Father, the son knows that without the force of the imperial brother, he can capture a white tiger for his father. So what the sons prepared for their fathers was this. ”
Shangguan Hansu raised his hand. A guard brought up a brocade box from the city.
Shangguan Hansu opened the brocade box. In an instant, a refreshing smell spread in the main hall, as if it could cleanse the soul.
Shen Nian's eyes couldn't hide his excitement. It's actually a void spirit grass that is rare to see in a hundred years. I heard the master say that the Void Spirit Grass has long been extinct, but I didn't expect to see it today. The preciousness of this Void Spirit Grass lies in the fact that even if it is seriously injured, as long as one whisker of the Void Spirit Grass is used to save the person's life. It can be said that in front of a void spirit grass, ginseng or something is a civilian.
Xi Chaoguo was drinking and watching the royal farce in the position of the eyebrows, and the hand holding the wine glass also stopped, and the void spirit grass was still there, and it was not gone back then.
"This is the Ethereal Spirit Grass that is said to be extinct." A civilian official said excitedly.
"Mrs. Lin has good eyesight." The fourth prince, Shangguan Hansu, said.
"I didn't expect the old man to be able to see the Void Spirit Grass in his lifetime, it's really in vain."
Shangguan Zhifei was very happy, "Okay, good." Su'er has a heart. Concubine Xi originally thought that Shangguan Hansu would not accept the congratulatory gift that she and her brother had prepared for him, thinking that this kid wanted to take some celebrity calligraphy and painting, but she didn't expect to come up with such a powerful thing. And it seems that the emperor obviously likes this Void Spirit Grass more, and Concubine Xi said that she is in a very good mood now.
Shangguan Zhifei motioned for Gao to put away the brocade box. Gao Yao stepped forward, saluted Shangguan Hansu, put away the brocade box, and took it to the back.
The envoys from the other three countries below were not upset in their hearts. The emperor of the Eastern Dynasty is still so energetic, mighty and domineering, and the princes are also so outstanding, not to mention that there is a king with a foreign surname like Gao Lingyan in charge, it seems that the Eastern Dynasty is really not to be underestimated at this time.
"Lao Jiu, what are you preparing for me?" Shangguan Zhifei looked at Shangguan Hanbing, who was sitting on the throne and drinking quietly, with a smile in his eyes.
Concubine Xi and the queen were shocked at the same time, they were really happy too early, forgetting that the emperor's favorite was Shangguan Hanbing, the ninth prince of the Ninth Emperor who had died a long time ago.
The envoys were also shocked, the emperor took the initiative to ask the prince for gifts, what kind of love is this. But said that this Shangguan Hanbing, the mother concubine died in childbirth when she gave birth to her second child, and the baby also died early, the emperor loved this Nine Emperors the most, and this Nine Emperors also lived up to the emperor's love.
Shangguan Hanbing got up and saluted to Shangguan Zhifei, "Father, the gift of the sons and daughters is not very brilliant, but I think it can also make my father smile." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a guard handed him a roll.
The Emperor motioned for Gao to go and get it, and Gao Yao handed the scroll to the Emperor. Shangguan Zhifei opened the scroll, and everyone only saw Shangguan Zhifei's eyes enlarge in an instant. He then immediately closed the scroll and handed it to the leader of the Dark Guard, who had been standing behind him.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder that no matter how good things were, the Dark Guard wouldn't be able to take them away and put them away.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what Bing'er's gift is?" The queen asked.
Shangguan Hanbing had goosebumps in shock because of the queen's "Bing'er".
He said in a deep voice: "This is the troop deployment map of the Western Dynasty. ”
"What?" The envoy of the Western Dynasty crushed the cup in his hand. Guan said that his eyelids jumped when he looked at the scroll just now.
"The war between my country and the Western Dynasties in the past few years does not seem to have quieted down the Western Dynasties, and they have begun to act again in the past few days." Shangguan Hanbing looked at the envoys of the Western Dynasty and smiled.
But this smile was a devilish smile in the eyes of the envoys of the Western Dynasty.
Shangguan's cold and cold actions today can be said to have shocked the other three countries and made them weigh them. It is possible to obtain the troop deployment map of other countries without others knowing. Today is just a deterrent, if you don't want to be deterred, one day you will fight directly, and what you are waiting for is not defeat.
In an instant, all the envoys raised the danger level of the Nine Emperor Princes' Shangguan Hanbing to the same level as Gao Lingyan.
Shen Nian took a sip of plum wine to hide the smile from the corner of his mouth. This Shangguan Hanbing is really an appetite for himself.
Shen Nian looked at the man sitting next to Shangguan Hanbing, and saw that he was dressed as if he was also a prince. Then he said to Shen Qing next to him: "Big brother, who is the one next to the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”
Shen Qing replied in a low voice: "That's the third prince, Shangguan Hanheng, who was the emperor's last drunken sex with a palace girl." He has a good relationship with Shangguan Hanbing, the Nine Emperor Princes. The two often appear together. ”
Shen Nian nodded after hearing this. looked at Shangguan Hanheng's appreciation for Shangguan Hanbing in his eyes. Born to a palace maid? This temperament is not like ah. Fun and fun.
Gao Lingyan in the distance knew at a glance that Shen Nian had a playful mentality in his heart again. Although the two haven't seen each other for ten years, they can understand what each other thinks. I guess this is a confidant.
"Good. Let's start the party. The envoys want to eat and have fun. Hahahaha. "Shangguan Zhifei is in a good mood now, these children have really surprised themselves.
The envoys had a wry smile on their faces and raised their wine glasses bitterly. Especially the envoys of the Western Dynasty. But the envoys of other countries did not feel much better.
"Your Majesty, it's better to let my family's Nan Min dance to the saint." The queen said. The Nan Min that the queen said in her mouth is the Feng Nanmin of the Feng family, and she is the daughter of the Feng family's big house.
Concubine Xi smiled at the corner of her mouth. Gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "I think the queen was too attentive just now." So I didn't see that the second lady of the Feng family was so frightened by the gift of the eldest prince that she fainted. "Huh.
The queen's face was blue and white, and the queen really ignored the reply of her subordinates just now.
I didn't expect this Feng Nanmin to be such a waste, and I still wanted to give her this opportunity to my own Ao'er. But I didn't know that the queen thought so much, and just took advantage of the second miss of the Feng family.
"Why don't you let me dance for the emperor to bless him with a long life." Then a female voice rang out. A woman stood up.
Shen Nian looked at this woman, and saw that the woman was wearing a long skirt with purple as the main color, although she said humble words, she was neither humble nor arrogant. Shen Nian said in his heart: "Okay." ”
"This daughter is Xie Daoyou, the eldest daughter of the Xie family." Shen Feng explained to Shen Nian.
"Oh?" After hearing this, Shen Nian looked at Xie Daoyou, "It's the number one talented girl in the capital." Shen Nian instantly became very interested.
