Chapter 26: Believe in Yourself

didn't wear the luxurious jewelry he gave, nor did he wear the splendid skirt he chose, Ning Chiyu was wearing a white dress with a chest and waist embroidery, her hair was half-curled, and her eyes were rippling. The top of the skirt was embroidered with a blue-red carp, and its tail was thrown out of the water, and the water was rippling and lifelike.

"Master......" Seeing him open his eyes, Chiyu bit his lip, smiled shyly and timidly, and reached out to caress his chest.

His pupils shrank, and Shen Guyuan frowned: "What are you doing?" ”

"What do you do?" With a sneer, Chi Yu climbed on top of him and blinked close to his face: "I just want to ask Master, is it good to look like this?" ”

The soft body pressed him, like a cat, but this look was clearly a demon who wanted to bewitch people's hearts, the autumn waves rippled everywhere, and the red lips were half bitten, and he wanted to speak.

I only mentioned her a few words before, but this girl reacted so quickly, and there was something in her eyes in an instant, and the light flowed, which was breathtaking.

However...... Pouting, Shen Guyuan sat up angrily, carried her and said, "A girl who doesn't have any hair, and you still want to learn from other people's seduction?" ”

Fang Cai's face was still extremely wet, and he collapsed when he carried it, and Chi Yu said dejectedly: "This is not tempting enough? ”

"It has nothing to do with temptation." Shen Guyuan sneered: "What the teacher said is tempting, it seems that you don't understand it clearly enough." ”

A question mark appeared on the top of the pond fish's head again, isn't it tempting to be tempting? How else could that be tempting?

Glancing at her, Shen Guyuan got off the soft couch, and asked while arranging his robe, "Who gave you this dress?" ”

"Mama Zheng." Chi Yu blinked: "She said I was dressed too modestly." Look at the lack of spirituality. ”

The previous guard pretended to be disliked, and the ladies behind her pretended to be uncomfortable. It's this neat and delicate skirt that makes her like it tightly.

Nodding thoughtfully, Shen Guyuan said, "Then you can wear it, come with me." ”

"Su Ming, find a guqin."

Chi Yu was dragged into the courtyard by him with a blank face, watched Su Ming set up the piano, and turned his head to look at the person next to him: "Master, what are you doing?" ”

"If you don't cut jade, you can't make a weapon." Shen Guyuan said: "You think I am a master, and I haven't taught you anything yet, so I'll teach you something today." ”

Chi Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the guqin: "How does Master know that I can play the qin?" ”

"You think I'm deaf?" Shen Guyuan sneered: "If you hear it, you will naturally know it." ”

No, Chi Yu tilted her head, the only time she played the piano in front of people was last time she played "Hundred Flowers Killing" for Shen Qihuai in order to disguise, and the master was not there at that time.

"What are you doing?" Shen Qihuai stretched out his hand and pressed her on the stool behind the piano table, and said angrily: "Play a song first." ”

"Oh......" Chi Yu responded, stroked the strings with a complicated mind, and played a few tunes.

There are so many things that his master knows, and many of them are things he shouldn't know, and they are too weird. If nothing else, he shouldn't know about the fact that she can play the piano, after all, Shen Qihuai didn't notice it at all.

So where did he find out?

"Smack!" There was a crunch on the back of the hand.

Chi Yu came back to his senses, retracted his hand and snorted in pain, glaring at him inexplicably: "What are you hitting me for!" ”

Holding the ring ruler in his hand, Shen Guyuan really looked like a stern master, his jaw was tight, and his eyes were displeased: "Playing like this, do you still want me not to beat you?" ”

Flattening his mouth aggrievedly, Chi Yu said: "If I play the earth-shattering ghosts and gods, then don't you have to teach me?" ”

Still quibbling? Shen Guyuan squinted.

Frightened, he shrunk his neck, and Chiyu muttered in a low voice: "Actually, I thought about it seriously, and I don't have to make people like me." ”

It's enough to have a Master!

With a sneer, Shen Guyuan looked at her condescendingly with his arms in his arms: "I don't want to see Shen Qihuai regret beating his chest and slamming his chest?" ”

His eyes lit up, and Chi Yu hurriedly said, "I still want to see this!" ”

"Then don't talk nonsense!" Reaching out to pick her up, Shen Guyuan sat down by himself, then put the person on his knees, and said expressionlessly: "Look at it." ”

With both hands on the strings, Shen Guyuan replayed the tune she had just played.

At dusk, the sky somehow brightened, and Chi Yu looked up at the man behind him with wide eyes.

The sound of the piano was melodious, and his white hair fell all over her, and the red robe encircled her, and his chin almost touched the top of her head. The wind blows, and a tree of osmanthus next to it blooms late, and the fragrance is charming.

For a moment, Chiyu felt that he was in a fairyland, with the sound of Qingyue in his ears, and the beauty on his side.

However, when the piano ended, Shen Guyuan's slightly angry voice fell: "Let you be optimistic, what are you doing?" ”

An agitated spirit came back to his senses, and the pond fish said with a loud voice: "I...... I'm watching! ”

"Isn't it fingering that you're supposed to see?" Shen Guyuan squinted: "You can learn by looking at my face or what?" ”

Being yelled at with his hands in his hands, Chi Yu hurriedly begged for mercy: "I was wrong Master!" I will definitely take a good look next time! ”

Glancing at her angrily, Shen Guyuan shook his head: "Rotten wood can't be carved!" ”

"Don't, Master!" Chi Yu glared: "I think I can still carve and see, you can try again!" ”

The ring ruler was raised again, and the pond fish quickly closed his eyes, and his face was wrinkled.

The people in the courtyard were hiding in the dark to watch the excitement, and seeing that the ring ruler had not fallen, Mama Zheng chuckled lightly and stretched out her hand to Chef Hao: "I am willing to lose the bet." ”

Reluctantly took the silver and put it in her hand, Chef Hao wondered: "The master's temper was not so good before, so he should be beaten." ”

"That's what you don't understand." Su Ming said with a smile: "For women, where can it be like for us." ”

Women? Mama Zheng smiled and continued to look sideways.

Shen Guyuan threw the ring ruler quite irritably, and shouted in a low voice: "Open your eyes!" ”

opened one eye and took a look, seeing that the ring ruler was already lying on the ground, Chi Yu breathed a sigh of relief and beat his chest flatteringly: "Master, don't be angry, this time the apprentice must look good." ”

With a cold snort, Shen Guyuan said, "I'll only play this once." ”

The words fell, the movements of his subordinates were fast, and a song of extremely difficult "Yang Chun Xue" poured out. Chi Yu hurriedly stared, looking at the flying fingers on his piano, and his eyes moved.

Shen Guyuan didn't expect this stupid apprentice to have any skills, he didn't care about her after he went to sleep!

At the end of the song, the strings stopped, Shen Guyuan got up and flipped the pond fish to the ground, waved his sleeves and walked to the main house.

Chi Yu got up on his own and shouted at his back, "Master, do you have a score?" ”

"Nope!" Shen Guyuan said: "If you want to learn, write a score by yourself." ”

The uncle was obviously exhausted of patience, Chiyu touched the ash on his nose, thought about it, and walked out with the piano in his arms.

Shen Guyuan, who was tired for a day, was in a very bad mood, he didn't know why he had to take care of Ning Chiyu, this girl was stupid, she was not self-motivated, her brain was simple, she just wanted to stab someone to death if she wanted revenge, and she didn't pursue it at all!

Isn't it for himself to take such an apprentice?

But, think about her life...... Shen Guyuan let out a long sigh, what a wrong!

After sleeping until dawn, when Shen Guyuan opened his eyes, he found that the quilt on the soft couch was neatly folded, as if no one had come to sleep.

Confused, he got up to change his clothes, opened the door and went out.

"Master!" Chiyu looked back at him with bright eyes: "Are you awake?" ”

The guqin on the table was quiet, Shen Guyuan thought about it, it didn't seem to have heard the sound of the piano last night, this girl must not have found the score, she was lazy and didn't practice, so her face became gloomy: "You got up so early, just sit down?" ”

"I'm afraid of waking up Master." Chi Yu smiled: "Chef Hao has prepared breakfast, do you want to eat it first?" ”

Glancing at her, Shen Guyuan said, "I can eat first, but you, if you haven't learned last night's tune, don't think about eating!" ”

So fierce? Chi Yu shrunk his neck and swallowed: "The song you play is really a bit difficult, and the fingering is too fast, and the apprentice may not be able to learn exactly the same." ”

"Then starving!" Shen Guyuan glanced at her, turned his head and wanted to go back to the house.

However, as soon as he stepped through the door, the sound of the piano sounded in the courtyard.

"Spring Snow"!

There is no score, Chiyu pieced together a night with his memory, hid outside the house and secretly practiced all night, at this time to play, already considered proficient, but the fingering is really not as fast as him, so under his hands the cold as the snow on the high mountain tune, in her fingers turned into a spring stream, along the snow mountain, trickling down.

Shen Guyuan turned his head.

Ning Chiyu held his breath and played very seriously, and there was a faint taste of unconvincing in his straight back.

She's not a useless person, and she's not a rotten wood!

After a slight pause, Shen Guyuan's eyes softened, thought about it, and walked towards her.

At the end of the song, Chi Yu was a little apprehensive, and he was about to look back, but the top of his head was pressed.

"You know how well this song is played." Shen Guyuan's cold voice sounded behind her.

Lowering his eyes a little frustratedly, Chi Yu nodded: "I know." ”

The fingering gap is too big, and she can't play the flavor of Master's playing.

"But, it's already a surprise to me." Shen Guyuan said.

His eyes widened slightly, and Chiyu looked back at him sharply.

Her master still had a handsome face with a little impatience, but there was no sarcasm in his eyes, but he looked at her with two points of appreciation: "At least, no one can listen to it and write it out." ”

Moved, Chi Yu reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and choked up, "Master......"

Looking at her lovingly, Shen Guyuan hooked his lips, as if to give her a warm smile.

Chiyu's eyes lit up and he looked at him expectantly.

However, in the next moment, Shen Guyuan's expression changed suddenly. ridicule hung on the corners of his lips, and said mercilessly: "But can't you write well if you want to write?" The third and fourth quarters were all wrong, I played this stuff last night? ”

was frightened into a spirit, and the pond fish ran away with his head in his hands.

Shen Guyuan followed behind her, accompanied by a ghost, and scolded as he walked: "Say that you don't have a brain, you really don't have a brain, and you won't buy it in the piano music score if you don't have a score?" Do you have to write it yourself? ”

"I was wrong!" Chiyu was very aggrieved, and when he saw the people coming in the yard, he immediately pounced: "Mama Zheng save me!" ”

Mama Zheng came in with breakfast, and was almost knocked over by her, but she was busy stabilizing her body, and looked behind her with a smile: "Master, why are you always so fierce?" ”

"If she doesn't be fierce, she can have a long memory?" Shen Guyuan hugged his arms and said, "It's not a simple matter to be my apprentice. ”

Mama Zheng's eyebrows moved slightly, she looked down at the pond fish, and gave her a look.

Do you still remember what Mama said, how to make the master happy?

As soon as his eyes lit up, the pond fish ran out with his skirt!

Shen Guyuan was trying to chase again. was stopped by Mama Zheng and pushed into the main house: "Master, take a break and eat something." ”

"Did you give that girl some idea?" Shen Guyuan looked back at her and frowned: "Didn't you say that you were just here to play?" Why are you so close to her? ”

"Look at what you said." Mama Zheng squinted her eyes and smiled: "You all like the prosperity of this world, and you don't allow those of us who have been away from the world for many years to come out and smell people?" Chiyu is a good girl, I like it when I look at it. ”

Do you like it, since I'm going to help her.

Looking at her deeply, Shen Guyuan sneered: "As long as you don't come to get in the way of my business, I don't care about anything else." ”

"Yes." Mama Zheng bowed and kindly let him have breakfast.

After eating some indiscriminately, Shen Guyuan twisted his fingers, got up and was about to go out to arrest people and come back.

However, before he could step out of the hospital, a colorful object came in and almost hit him in the face.

"Master." Chi Yu had an obedient expression on his face, and dangled the windmill in front of him: "I'm coming back from shopping to honor you!" ”

It seems to be made of paper, and the colorful strips of paper are glued to a round frame made of bamboo strips. Collapse on the bottom bracket. When the wind blows, it whirls around, making a sound similar to that of a forest being blown by the wind.

There was a bright light in his eyes, Shen Guyuan stretched out his hand to take the windmill, and then asked with a straight face: "What are you doing with this?" It's not like I haven't seen it! ”

Chi Yu hurriedly said: "I know that the master has seen it, and the apprentice is looking good, so I will buy one for the master to come back and play." ”

With a light snort, Shen Guyuan took the windmill and left, his back was chic, like an immortal.

However, if anyone stands in front of him, they can clearly see that Shen Guyuan, who has captivated the country and the city, is puffing out his cheeks and blowing hard at the windmill.

"Boom-" The windmill spun in a cheerful way.

Nodding with satisfaction, Shen Guyuan was finally in a good mood, and turned around and shouted to Chiyu: "Come and have breakfast." ”

"Okay!" Pond fish happily follow the door.

Compassion for the royal palace.

The Shadow came back early in the morning with a colorful windmill in his hand.

"What do you see?" Shen Qihuai asked lightly.

The shadow sighed: "Same as in Yaochi Pavilion, those two are still together every day, eating and sleeping together, but recently the third prince seems to have started to teach Chiyu girl to play the piano, and early in the morning, Chiyu girl bought such a windmill and went back." ”

As he spoke, he handed the windmill in his hand to Shen Qihuai.

Glancing at the cheap gadgets, Shen Qihuai didn't bother to take them, and waved his hand: "Needless to say, these little things don't need to be said, can you find out why Shen Guyuan wants to help Ning Chiyu?" ”

He never understood how this person from the royal family who appeared out of thin air could have a relationship with Ning Chiyu. For no reason, what did you do to help her desperately?

"This ...... Subordinates are incompetent. The shadow arched his hand: "The past of the third prince has still not been investigated, and no one knows how these two got together." ”

Shen Qihuai frowned, and Yu Youwei, who had been listening to it next to him, laughed slightly: "Men help women, what else can be the reason?" ”

Good work in bed!

Shen Qihuai looked at her sideways, slightly displeased: "Youwei." ”

"Lord Wang. Don't you understand it to this day? Yu Youwei pinched the handkerchief and sneered: "Ning Chiyu climbed onto Shen Guyuan's bed early in the morning, even earlier than the Lost Pearl Pavilion walked into the water, otherwise how could he retreat?" Shen Guyuan is here to rob you of power, Ning Chiyu betrayed you for him! ”

Thinking about it like this, it makes sense, Shen Qihuai's eyes darkened, and he was silent.

"What are you waiting for?" Yu Youwei reached out and grabbed his hand and shook it: "Do as I say!" ”

"Youwei, there's a question I haven't asked you." Shen Qihuai raised his eyes to look at her: "Why do you hate pond fish so much?" Didn't you say before that she was your only handkerchief? ”

Slightly stunned, Yu You panicked for a moment, and hurriedly lowered her eyes and said, "That's not because she betrayed you?" cheated to death, lived up to other men, and failed the prince's sincerity in vain, can I not be very her? ”

"Really?" Shen Qihuai's eyes were deep.

"Could it be that Youwei will still lie to you?" Yu Youwei frowned: "What are you suspecting?" Now that her concubines are out, can't you see clearly? ”

So Ning Chiyu, for the sake of a Shen Guyuan, betrayed his trust for so many years, and ruined his most important thing? Shen Qihuai pursed his lips, and the murderous aura in his eyes became stronger.

Ben still feels a little guilty and still has some thoughts, but looking at it this way, Ning Chiyu is better to die early.

"Ahh Chi Yu, who was walking towards Prince Jing's mansion with his master, sneezed inexplicably and looked back behind him suspiciously.

"How?" Shen Guyuan, who was walking in front, asked without looking back.

"Nothing." Snorting, Chiyu frowned: "I feel cool behind it." ”

"That's probably someone scolding you." Shen Guyuan said: "You are really hateful. ”

What can she hate! Chi Yu was not convinced, and chased after him with his skirt and said: "In my life, except for helping Shen Qihuai do bad things, I have never done any bad things!" ”

"Aiding and abetting abuse is the worst thing to do." Shen Guyuan said: "It's good to reflect. ”

That's the same, Chi Yu sighed, she was young and ignorant, she would do whatever Shen Qihuai said, as long as he was happy, she didn't care what was right or wrong. Looking back now, it was stupid.

"Didn't you say that the little marquis came out to greet you?" After walking for a long time, Shen Guyuan became impatient: "What about others? ”

The housekeeper said with a smile: "The little marquis said to greet him half an hour ago, but no one followed him...... Now...... I don't know where I've gone, but the little one has already sent someone to look for it. ”

Pond Fish: "......"

Shen Guyuan's forehead jumped with green tendons, and he said slightly angrily: "If you don't know the road, don't walk blindly by yourself, you can get lost in your own house, it's also amazing!" ”

The housekeeper is also very helpless, where he has lived for more than ten years, Hou Ye can get lost two or three times a day, and he is not happy to send someone to follow him, and he is also very embarrassed.

"Bad things about me behind my back, I heard you." Caught off guard, a voice sounded in the narrow alley in the corner of the wall next to him.

Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows, looked sideways, and saw Shen Zhibai walking out with a slight frown, and there was a lot of mud on his clothes.

"Master Hou." Chiyu couldn't cry or laugh: "Where have you gone again?" ”

Speaking of this, Shen Zhibai got angry: "Living in someone's house, do you have to build it so big?" They look the same all around, and they can't find the road! ”

"If you don't know the road, don't blame the big house." Looking at him with disgust, Shen Guyuan said, "I've never seen such a stupid person as you." ”

Shen Zhibai glanced at him angrily: "I'm stupid, let's stop looking at that thing, let's go home separately." ”

"Don't." Chi Yu hurriedly played a round game: "If you run so far, Master Hou can't let me run in vain." ”

Seeing her, the little marquis was a little angry, pursed his lips and said, "You are not in good health, what are you running with him?" Rest in the house. ”

She wanted to rest, but Shen Guyuan seemed to know that he would definitely quarrel with the little Hou Ye when he came to this Hou Mansion, so he took her with him anything.

"Let's go to your yard first." Chi Yu said: "I can't speak while standing here." ”

"Okay." Shen Zhibai nodded, looked at her again, and said as he walked: "You have been looking a lot better recently." ”

"There's a medicinal bath in the house, and I'm always soaking in it." Chi Yu smiled: "It's also the master who bothered. ”

As soon as he heard this, Shen Zhibai's face looked much better, and he looked at the person walking in front of him and pursed his lips and said, "Even if he still has the appearance of a master." ”

"Master Hou, don't say that, Master is very good to me." Chiyu whispered: "Except for the murder of people." ”

Pretty good? Shen Zhibai raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became a little curious: "Chi Yu, what do you think a person should do to be good to you?" ”

What's the problem? Chi Yu was stunned, glanced at the red-clothed and white-haired man in front of him, and said, "Probably ...... I don't say anything in my mouth, but my actions are all protecting you and trying to make you change for the better. ”

What is this statement? The little marquis looked dazed.

Entering the study, Chiyu looked left and right and saw that there was nothing to do, and immediately jumped into the library. Prince Jing is also a person who loves music, and there will naturally be no shortage of music scores in the house.

Seeing that her shadow was gone, Shen Zhibai spoke in a low voice and said to Shen Guyuan next to him: "Uncle Huang said before that he wanted to help me, does it count now?" ”

Well? Shen Guyuan was looking at the order on the table, and when he heard this, he raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "Changed your mind?" ”

Earlier, he said that the person he liked would marry himself.

"Hmm." Shen Zhibai pursed his lips, and the roots of his ears were slightly red: "Chiyu treats me as a brother and a friend, and he doesn't notice my intentions at all." ”

Nonsense. That girl is full of hatred, and you expect her to detect the love of others? Don't look at her usual smile, the resentment in her heart has not been eliminated at all.

If this Shen Zhibai can make her let go of her hatred, her future life will be much better.

"I've always counted when I speak." Pinching the order and looking through it, Shen Guyuan said lightly: "But you can think about it, if you want me to help, you have to listen to me, otherwise I will be angry." ”

Gritting his teeth, Shen Zhibai said: "As long as you don't deliberately fix me and really help me, Zhibai will naturally be obedient." ”

"Okay." Shen Guyuan hooked his lips: "Then do something for her first." ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Zhibai looked at him suspiciously, saw him come over, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

When leaving Prince Jing's mansion, Chi Yu was satisfied with holding several music scores, and jumped beside him and said, "The little marquis is so generous." Send me so much. ”

"You just go back and practice." Shen Guyuan didn't raise his eyelids: "Don't live up to people's wishes." ”

"Okay." Chi Yu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "But Master, do you also plan to let me be in the limelight at His Majesty's birthday banquet?" ”

Recently, many young ladies in the capital are preparing, and a lot of news has flown over, such as who whose young lady has prepared a song of fairy music to play, and whose son's son has spent a lot of money to buy a lot of fireworks for everyone, in short, they all want to make a noise in a group of nobles, attracting people's attention.

Could it be that your own master thinks the same way?

"Vulgar!" Shen Guyuan rolled his eyes, and looked at her with hatred: "Such a vulgar thing, will the teacher let you do it?" ”

"Then ......" Chi Yu didn't understand: "Why do you want to teach me to play the piano?" ”

"Playing the piano is the only thing you know." Shen Guyuan said: "It's just a halfway monk, and it's obviously not enough." If you can be proficient, you can count it as your strength. ”

Slightly stunned, Chi Yu understood: "Is it because I said earlier that I have no merits, and the master taught me to play the piano?" ”

"Nope." Shen Guyuan tilted his head, his beautiful eyes were half-closed, and he stared at her and said, "It's because you have no confidence." ”

A woman without self-confidence is like a puddle of mud, no matter how beautiful she is, she is an empty shell, and she can be seen through at a glance.

The previous Ning Chiyu had always been in that state, with a deep hatred of blood and hatred, as if he was alive to stab Shen Qihuai in the chest with a knife, and then die with it. Other than that, there is no purpose.

Shen Qihuai's words hit her, shattering this girl's self-confidence that had always been not very strong, and making her whole person gloomy. Not to mention that she dominates the world, any girl on the street is better looking than her.

Awful.

A little blushing, Chi Yu smiled bitterly and bowed his head: "Master Lao bothered." ”

Her self-confidence has long been abandoned by Shen Huai's fire, and there is no scum left. What about infatuated loyalty? What about martial arts? In Shen Qihuai's eyes, he is still nothing, and he is not as good as Yu Youwei's coquettish breath.

The resentment in her heart was surging, and she barely pressed it, her fists clenched.

"I told you so." The index finger touched the center of her eyebrows, Shen Guyuan looked at her seriously and said, "You don't have a problem, it's someone else's fault, do you understand?" ”

The cold touch melted in the center of her eyebrows, and all the way down, the restless heart in her chest instantly returned to normal. Chiyu looked up in a daze, and heard him say: "The fisherman doesn't know gold, and he has his own gold pickers." ”

Golden? Chi Yu's eyes lit up: "Master thinks I'm Jin?" ”

"Just use an analogy, don't take it seriously." Let go of her, Shen Guyuan pouted and got into the car: "Gold is still worth more than you." ”

With a grin, Chi Yu followed him into the car with his skirt: "Master is praising me, I understand." ”

"Then you should be complimenting you."

"Don't be like this, Master, didn't you say that you want to make me confident?"

"That's not shameless!"

The carriage walked back slowly, and Su Ming listened to the two bickering outside, looking incredulous.

Why has the master become so much talking now? In the past, I didn't necessarily know a word in ten days and half a month.

Although this red dust is complicated, it seems that it is not without benefits.

The day of the young emperor's sixth birthday. The capital was very lively from early in the morning, and the carriages of various prefectures carried many congratulatory gifts, and they all went to the direction of the palace gate.

Chi Yu sat beside Shen Guyuan, excitedly pulling the curtain and looking out: "There are really a lot of people!" ”

"Don't be like the countrymen who haven't seen the market?" Shen Guyuan looked at her with disgust: "I'm blind for this dress." ”

The same Su embroidered green carp skirt, the style is different from the last time, but it still matches her very well. Chi Yu lowered his head, carefully put his skirt away, and said admiringly: "Mama Zheng is really amazing, she can make so many clothes in such a short time." ”

Moreover, this kind of embroidery is not bad in the palace, and the green carp are lifelike, as if they are upstream in her skirt.

Shen Guyuan was silent.

"Anyway, I've always wondered where your clothes came from." Chi Yu blinked and said, "It's not the same every day, but every piece of clothing is very good-looking, some are dark red, some are dark red." Some of the big red, are the embroiderers also made by Mama Zheng? ”

"Hmm." Responding vaguely, Shen Guyuan said: "Mama Zheng's ability to make clothes is also good, what style do you like, just let her do it." ”

Anyway, I can't get tired.

The pond fish was very happy, nodded in response, and hugged the skirt and couldn't put it down.

On a big day like today, the court has a day off, and everyone enters the palace very early. When they arrived, the Yuqing Hall was already crowded.

"The Abyss." As soon as Prince Xiao saw them, he smiled and beckoned: "Come here." ”

With a slight bow, Shen Guyuan took the pond fish over to salute.

"The apprentices of the third prince are also becoming more and more spiritual." Prince Jing watched from the side and couldn't help but smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and my appearance is better." ”

"The prince has won the award." The pond fish shyly bowed its head.

Shen Guyuan said lightly: "After soaking in the potion for so many days, the pig can be soaked into a beauty, and the prince has indeed won the award." ”

The smile on his face froze, and the corners of Chi Yu's mouth twitched. On a big day, you can't let her be proud, right?

Several elders laughed. Take the two men and go into the inner sanctum.

Chi Yu looked left and right, and asked curiously, "Didn't the little marquis come?" ”

"Zhibai entered the palace early in the morning." Prince Jing said: "But I don't know where I went." ”

Crying and laughing, Chiyu shook his head, he must have been lost again. It's over, the palace is so big, it's not easier to find than the palace.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a milky voice shouting, "Uncle Huang." ”

The people in the inner hall immediately saluted, Chi Yu bent his knees, and glanced at the corner of his eye, and saw the young emperor running out of the side, running to Shen Guyuan, hugging his legs, and looking up at him and smiling: "Uncle Huang, are you here?" ”

Shen Qihuai, who followed behind, did not look good, the young emperor was brought up by him, but for some reason, he had never been close to him. How long has it been since Shen Guyuan came back? The young emperor actually liked him so much.

Could it be that there is really a blood relationship?

Pursing his lips slightly, Shen Qihuai closed his eyes to hide his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is here, everyone will calm down first, go separately, and when the time comes, you will come to the banquet again." ”

"Yes." Everyone should go down, but Shen Guyuan ignored him, lowered his head and touched the young emperor's hair that had not yet turned white, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is not happy today?" ”

"Happy!" The young emperor said excitedly: "They all said that there are a lot of gifts this year, and there is a big mountain!" ”

"Oh?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows with interest.

Seeing this, the young emperor immediately grabbed his robe and dragged it out: "Let's go, I will take the imperial uncle to see!" ”

"Your Majesty." Shen Qihuai raised his foot and stopped in front of him: "You are the protagonist today, you can't move around at will!" ”

With a flat mouth, the young emperor gestured pitifully: "Just take the imperial uncle to take a look, it's next to the Yuqing Palace, isn't it okay?" ”

Shen Guyuan chuckled: "The prince is very good at managing His Majesty. ”

Shen Qihuai pursed his lips: "As a courtier, he should naturally advise the monarch and do not do anything wrong." ”

"Your Majesty is still childlike, and it is also wrong to take this king to see the congratulatory gift?" Shen Guyuan raised his eyebrows.

"Of course not." Prince Xiao stood up and smiled: "Since today is Your Majesty's birthday, then Your Majesty is in charge. ”

Shen Qihuai glanced at him, then at the stubborn young emperor, thought about it, and went down the steps: "Then let's go." ”

The young emperor smiled, feeling that his imperial uncle was really powerful, no one had ever been able to say that he had abandoned the imperial brother before, he could do it!

I couldn't help but hold my hand tighter.

Feeling the heavy lump on his legs, Shen Guyuan sighed, stretched out his hand to pick him up and walked out.

"Lord Wang!" Shen Qihuai was taken aback, even if the young emperor is a child, he is also an emperor. How can you walk in your arms like this?

However, the rest of the people were not very surprised, and the young emperor didn't feel inappropriate, and was hugged and giggled.

Shen Qihuai's face instantly sank like night.

Chi Yu followed behind Shen Guyuan and said in a low voice: "This is his sore foot." ”

"Huh?" Shen Guyuan didn't look back.

Chi Yu chuckled: "The thing that Shen Qihuai cares about the most is that he is not of royal blood, his name is not right, and his words are not good. ”

The royal bloodline has always withered, among the four princes, only Prince Xiao is born to the emperor, and the rest are collateral bloodlines, but Prince Xiao has no children. The first emperor had no children when he was alive, and after his death, he left the fetus in the womb of the concubine, fortunately it was a son, otherwise no one would inherit the throne.

In this context, Shen Qihuai, an outsider, has no pressure to take the throne, after all, the prince is old, the emperor is young, and he has the ability to take charge of the overall situation, so the four princes can only admit it.

But now, Shen Guyuan is back, with a white hair exclusive to the descendants of the Shen family, and he has easily gained everyone's trust.

Can Shen Qihuai not panic? There is no owner in the family, and the housekeeper can be half the head of the family, but the real master of the family returns, so he will return to the position of the next person sooner or later.

Bloodline is always the deepest pain of Shen Qihuai.

Shen Guyuan raised the corners of his mouth and only spit out two words: "Sad." ”

The young emperor had his eyes open, not understanding what they were saying. When he arrived at the place, he excitedly pulled Shen Guyuan inside: "Uncle Huang, come and see, it's such a big mountain!" ”

I thought that the words of children were exaggerated, and no matter how many congratulatory gifts there were, it would not be possible to pile them up. However, when they really saw that pile of things, Shen Guyuan and Ning Chiyu were both shocked at the same time.

What a big mountain!

The congratulatory gifts wrapped in boxes and boxes were piled up on a large open space next to the Yuqing Palace, which was as tall as half of the Yuqing Palace. The guards guarding around were obviously frightened, and they all tensed up, for fear that some thieves would come to rob them.

Chi Yu was dumbfounded: "How can there be so many?" ”

The young emperor blinked innocently: "I don't know. ”

The big eunuch next to him, Jin Mu, pointed at the orchid and smiled: "The prince doesn't know, this year's harvest is good, and there are naturally many birthday gifts from officials from all over the country." ”

"Were there so many in previous years?" Shen Guyuan asked.

Jin Gonggong smiled: "Then naturally there is no, otherwise how can you say that you are a lucky star?" As soon as you come back, we will be blessed here. ”

The words are beautiful, but in fact, they have nothing to do with him. Shen Guyuan casually picked up a mahogany box and opened it to look at it.

The priceless Jade Guanyin should have been bought from a wealthy merchant in the capital, and he had seen the order.

With a sneer, Shen Guyuan closed the lid, turned his head and squatted down to look at the young emperor and asked, "How did Your Majesty deal with these congratulatory gifts in previous years?" ”

"I'll use it myself." The young emperor swore solemnly: "An annual congratulatory gift." It's all used by me. ”

What can such a small doll be used for? Shen Guyuan's eyes rolled slightly, and he took his little hand and said, "It's okay to give it to Uncle Huang?" ”

"Good!" Nodding without thinking about it, the young emperor said in a milky voice: "I immediately asked Gonggong Jin to write the holy decree and give half to the imperial uncle!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Gonggong Jin was scared out of cold sweat: "I can't help it!" ”

With so many things, how can you give half of them directly? Children think simply, this amount of money is amazing.

The young emperor's face furrowed, and he turned his head to look at him: "Can't you?" ”

Shen Guyuan touched his head: "Your Majesty has given too much, just give one, and Uncle Huang wants this Jade Guanyin." ”

"Good!" The Young Emperor nodded happily.

Gonggong Jin wiped his cold sweat, thinking that one thing was still reasonable, and it didn't matter if he didn't write the holy decree.

Your Majesty really likes this imperial uncle very much, he hugged him all the way and didn't let go, and the birthday banquet began, Du Fei pulled him to sit next to him, chattering.

Chi Yu stood behind Shen Guyuan. With him was baptized by the gaze of all sides.

"This is the third prince, so handsome!"

"Isn't it? Look how much Your Majesty likes him, the King of Compassion has not been able to sit on the left hand side of the dragon chair this year. ”

"Who's that girl behind him? She doesn't look like a palace maid. ”

"I heard that he is the apprentice of the third prince."

exchanged heads and discussions, Shen Guyuan and Chi Yu didn't do anything, and they undoubtedly became the most eye-catching people at this birthday banquet.

Yu Youwei lowered her head, she couldn't hold it back, and she turned her head sideways and instructed Qinglan: "Go and let them prepare." ”

"Yes." Qinglan answered, bowed and retreated.

Glancing at Ning Chiyu, Yu Youwei sneered, this woman who has no ability at anything, thinks that she can reach the sky in one step by relying on a man? Jokes, men are the most unreliable things in this world, and she may not have experienced enough of this fact, so she doesn't mind letting her experience it again!

"Pond Fish Girl." A little eunuch ran over and said in a low voice, "Master Zhibai invites you to go out." ”

Shen Zhibai? The pond fish raised its eyebrows. I was wondering in my heart, when I heard Shen Guyuan say, "Go ahead." ”

This man has ears on the back of his head? Chi Yu was speechless, bent his knees, and then followed the eunuch out.
