Mr. Chu wants to celebrate the New Year in Chang'an, Shen Leng naturally understands how much this means to Mr. Shen to the tea master, especially for Mr. Shen, it is a life-saving grace, at that time, Mr. Shen was chased and killed, and he had no choice but to ask for help from Chu Jianlian, and it was Mr. Chu who kept Mr. Shen safe with one sword and one sword.

However, His Majesty may not like it.

In any case, Chu Jianlian is a member of the Chu royal family.

So Shen Leng discussed it with the tea master, no matter how you say this, you can't hide it from Your Majesty, and it's even worse to hide it.

So the next morning, the tea master accompanied Mr. Chu to see Mr. Shen, and Shen Leng entered the palace alone.

Outside the Weiyang Palace, Shen Leng stood alone outside the palace gate and waited, in recent days, His Majesty has released the looseness, and the families of many concubines in the harem have also entered the palace to see, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, His Majesty reunites with filial piety, as long as he does not bother him, it does not hurt that the concubines in the harem move around more with their families.

Several groups of people came one after another, waiting outside the palace gate, and most of them were female dependents, only Shen Leng was a man standing there a little awkwardly.

When the families of these palace concubines came together, it was naturally indispensable to compare openly and secretly, what kind of reward did this noble person get from His Majesty, what kind of grace did that noble person get from His Majesty, or who had a particularly good relationship with the precious concubine, Shen Leng stood aside and didn't want to listen to it, and the words drilled into his ears one by one.

A little girl next to her looked at Shen Leng and didn't know if she was curious or what, she glanced at it again and again, and whispered to the two women next to her, and the two women also looked at him from time to time, looking like they were judgmental.

Then Shen Leng vaguely heard that he was not guarding the door outside by the internal guards of the forbidden army, at this time, most of the people who entered the palace were women, and the young men who entered the palace alone were not good-looking.

He also said that he should be famous when he was young and wore brocade clothes, and he looked good, otherwise he asked who it was, and said that it was your daughter or something.

Shen Leng looked at his nose and nose, and said that women are really terrible.

It's still a tea master, good-looking and virtuous.

No matter who you compare with, the tea master is good-looking.

Shen Leng thought that they were just talking, but who knew that there were really two women who looked to be around forty or fifty years old who really walked towards him, and the clothes on their bodies were very grand, obviously carefully prepared to enter the palace.

"Are you going to enter the palace too?"

One of the women asked.

Shen Leng politely gave a salute to the juniors: "Yes." ”

"Which noble person are you going to visit in the palace?"

"I beg to see Your Majesty."

"I'll just say, how can there be a young man who goes to the harem alone, see if I say it, what's your surname on this son? Look at your age, you should only enter the office, which yamen do you work in? It is a great thing to be summoned by His Majesty, and it is really remarkable. ”

Shen Leng felt that chatting with them was more terrible than going to the battlefield, so he hurriedly replied: "My surname is Shen, and I work in the army." ”

It stands to reason that when it comes to the surname Shen He doing things in the army, they should have guessed something, but where would these two noble ladies think about this, in fact, the wives of most of the officials do not care about the affairs of the court, and how can they talk about the military state when they move around each other, and it is understandable that they did not react for a while.

"In the army."

One of the women immediately smiled and said: "My son is also working in the army, and now he is a Wupin general in the soldiers of the Jiazi Battalion in Gyeonggi Province, although he is already twenty-six years old and has only reached Wupin far worse than his father, but it is not too embarrassing, what about you, where are you in the army?" ”

Shen Leng said: "Jiazi Camp, it must be extremely good to be able to enter Jiazi Camp, there were people who also wanted me to go, but Your Majesty didn't allow it." ”

"Don't be discouraged."

The woman looked at Shen Leng with comforting eyes: "Maybe next time Your Majesty will be approved, you work hard, study hard like my son, and sooner or later you can join the Jiazi Battalion." ”

Shen Leng clenched his fists: "Thank you." ”

The woman looked a little colder, walked to the side and said to another woman: "I am a knowledgeable person, and I look very energetic, but if I can't even enter the Jiazi camp, how can I be worthy of your daughter." ”

Another woman said, "It's your fault, people are standing there in the way of you, you have to go over and say a few words." ”

"It's not that I'm in a hurry."

The woman said: "Look at my daughter, she has been in the palace for five years, Your Majesty treats her well, your daughter is so close to her, she has played together since childhood, I also treat her like a daughter, you still blame me." ”

The other woman simply shut up and didn't say anything anymore, thinking that she would not agree to accompany you into the palace if she knew this, and said that you would take me into the palace to see the world.

At this time, Dai Fangzhou trotted all the way out of the palace gate, a group of people hurriedly surrounded it, the left one acting father-in-law is good, the right one is good for the New Year, Dai Fangzhou is the chief eunuch of the imperial study Bingbi, the nobles in the harem have to be polite when they see him, who doesn't know that he said a good word in front of His Majesty, and those nobles on the top of the top have been courteous ten times.

Dai Fangzhou dealt with it left and right, and finally broke out of the encirclement, and walked to Shen Leng with an apologetic face and bowed down: "General Shen, why are you still waiting, Your Majesty allows you to enter and leave Weiyang Palace freely, and every time the general has to pass it." ”

"I don't know if Your Majesty is busy or not, it's better to say it in advance."

"Let's go, my General Shen, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

Dai Fangzhou turned around and walked in front, but his body was slightly hunched to lead the way.

The two women looked at each other, both surprised.

"Who's that?"

"Who else could it be? Didn't you think of it, General Shen, which other General Shen? ”

"Admiral of the Sea Patrol Division, First Class Marquis Shen Leng?"

"It must be him."

The woman's face instantly turned a little red: "No wonder Your Majesty doesn't allow him to go to the Jiazi Battalion, I heard my son mention that the general of the Jiazi Battalion mentioned to His Majesty two or three times after the big competition of the armies, and wanted General Shen to go to the Jiazi Battalion as a deputy commander......"

"What did you just say? Learn more with your son? ”

Weiyang Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

After listening to Shen Leng's words, His Majesty nodded: "Don't I have the capacity to accommodate people?" Chu Jianlian is Cha'er's master, and it is naturally nothing to celebrate the New Year together, and you even made a special trip to tell me. ”

Shen Leng said: "Lord Han told Mr. Chu that he should try not to come to Chang'an again." ”

"I am the Son of Heaven, I can tolerate the affairs of the people of the world, how can I not tolerate a descendant of the Chu State who has been dead for hundreds of years, don't say that he, the emperor of the Nanyue Kingdom who has only been dead for a few years, I can tolerate it."

Shen Lengxin said Your Majesty, you are so tolerant of Yang Yu, the emperor of the fallen country of Nanyue, he may not be happy.

"Han Zhaozhi is the commander of the court, his duty is not to tolerate people, if he is tolerant of people everywhere and all the time, how to manage the palace well."

The emperor looked at Shen Leng and said, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year the day after tomorrow, remember to bring tea to Concubine Zhen's palace to greet her for the New Year." ”

"I remember."

The emperor snorted: "You said that Chu Jian returned from Heiwu?" Did I tell you anything? ”

Shen Leng said Chu Jianlian's words, and the emperor immediately frowned slightly: "The black warriors will never passively wait for the war to start, if they don't pick up on the battlefield, they will start somewhere else, I have also heard of the black martial arts sword gate, the disciples of the sword gate are all good at martial arts, and Samburu will summon the entire sword gate into the army, I am afraid that there is a plan." ”

"If they don't fight on the battlefield, they may have to target the generals on the frontier."

Shen Leng said: "General Wu should already be on guard. ”

"I know what you're worried about."

The emperor glanced at Shen Leng: "Although you mentioned Wu Xinyu, but what you are thinking about in your heart is Meng Chang'an, if you talk about it, I am afraid that the black warriors hate Meng Changan more than Wu Xinyu, if I am the Black Martial Khan Emperor, I will also get rid of brave generals like Meng Changan before the war...... But I had already thought of this, otherwise, why did I arrange for Fang Baijing to be over there? ”

Of course Shen Leng knew, but it was impossible to rest assured.

Fang Baijing, the rumored best candidate for the next Du Tingwei, is said to be deeply hidden, and his martial arts may be higher than Han Zhaozhi, and he was brought out by Han Zhaozhi since he entered the Tingwei Mansion, so it is needless to say that he is loyal.

The thousandth office of the Tingwei Mansion will not be a waste of fame.

Gu Le once said to Shen Leng that if he fought with Fang Baijing, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch a sword.

This is not a huge gap between the two, but a competition between masters, and the difference between a sword is life and death.

At this time, Dai Fangzhou came in from outside, hung his head and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Zhang Zhenren asks to see you." ”

The emperor snorted: "It just so happened that I wanted to let him go to your house, but when I was busy, I forgot about it and let him in." ”

Xiao Zhang Zhenren came in from outside, carrying a pair of glasses on his nose, because the craftsmanship is really not so clever, so it looks like the glasses are thicker and bigger, so it looks even more like a small Zhang real person's face, he is a clear eyebrow, after wearing this, he looks a little more cute, and the more he looks at it, the more he looks like a girl.

"Your Majesty."

As soon as Xiao Zhang Zhenren entered the door, he bowed to Shen Leng, the emperor coughed a few times, and Xiao Zhang Zhenren turned around: "The minister greets Your Majesty." ”

As soon as he entered the door, his glasses turned white, and he could still see who was who, and when Shen Leng got close, he saw a vague figure, and it was better to see that His Majesty was yellow when he didn't wear glasses.

He took off his glasses and wiped them in a hurry, and after putting them on, he looked apologetic, and his body was extremely low: "The minister is guilty." ”

Where would the emperor care about this, and glanced at him: "Why did you come to see me?" ”

Xiao Zhang Zhenren bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty ordered the minister to look at the stars again, the minister has had the results yesterday, I dare not say it lightly, and carefully checked it again, to make sure that there will be no mistake before I came to see Your Majesty, the minister reported a few days ago, and there was a faint little star on the side of the purple microstar, although it was flickering and looming, but the minister had seen it for many days, so it was speculated that Your Majesty may have a happy event again, and it should be the royal family to add Ding." ”

The emperor snorted: "After I heard you say it last time, I have asked people everywhere in the harem, and you don't seem to be able to see it accurately." ”

Xiao Zhang Zhenren's face changed slightly: "How is it possible, the minister looks carefully." ”

The emperor said in his heart, "Do I still lie to you?"

After listening to Xiao Zhang Zhenren say it a while ago, His Majesty asked Dai Fangzhou to ask in all the palaces, there was nothing abnormal, and he was not at ease, and asked the people from the Tai Hospital to diagnose their pulses, and they were sure that no nobles were happy.

Suddenly, the emperor reacted to something, glanced at Shen Leng, and laughed.

made Shen Leng and Xiao Zhang Zhenren laugh.

Emperor, that look of relief.
