Chapter 4: Attending the Palace Banquet (1)
Shen Man'er was in a daze, as if she saw a delicate little girl wearing a pale pink jacket, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her skin was like congealed cream, like a cheerful butterfly running around among the flowers, laughing happily, revealing two white tiger teeth. The little girl ran and ran, and suddenly her foot was knocked and she lay straight on the ground, and her beautiful little face was suddenly covered with a layer of dust. Immediately tears flowed down my face. Under the eaves, three delicate little boys immediately ran over, and the eldest one picked up the little girl and wiped the little girl's face with his sleeves, regardless of the crescent-colored clothes dyed gray. The younger one was busy wetting the little girl's handkerchief and wiping the dirt and tears left on his face. The youngest one, because he couldn't reach it, could only jump left and right on the ground in a hurry, constantly shouting: "Show me sister, sister, sister...", after a long time, the little girl finally broke into tears and laughed, and pulled her brothers to be coquettish. In the distance, a rather handsome young man sat on the cloister with a pale woman, watching the four children frolicking in the distance, everything was so beautiful.
Shen Man'er looked at the little girl in her sleep, and then slowly became herself, as if she also saw her modern parents, although they were very strict with themselves, they loved themselves just as much. A line of tears slid down the corners of his eyes.
In the early morning, Shen Man'er was woken up by a pair of hot eyes, there was a warm concern in it, and every hair of Shen Man'er seemed to be straightened, Shen Man'er resisted the urge to cover herself with a quilt, and wanted to sit up but felt a little difficult, Zhu'er was just about to step forward to help, Shen Xiangye had already made his Ling Bo micro steps, flashed in front of Shen Man'er, Shen Man'er was startled, and subconsciously shrank back, seeing the middle-aged man in front of him who was still handsome, but had added a lot of hair, a sour feeling overflowed in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or the original owner's。
"Dad" tears had already flowed, and he couldn't say a word anymore.
"My daughter doesn't cry, my father's good daughter doesn't cry, you've scared my father to death for the past two days, it's okay..." Early in the morning, the sun was shining, and the third child, Shen Yibin, looked at the two people who were crying together, and a nameless fire was about to break out, and then turned into impatience.
"Dad, my little sister just woke up, I can't be too sad, my little sister burned last night and talked nonsense all night, you let my little sister drink saliva first, your love for your daughter, it's okay to watch it for a while. The third child said, giving the old man a look of contempt.
When Master Shen saw the third child's eyes, he instantly felt bad. "Stinky boy, what kind of eyes are you, your sister finally woke up, how worried your father and I are, do you know, and said that I, who was reluctant to close my eyes last night, both eyes were red, I was afraid that my sister would see it in the morning, and I specially used cold water to compress it, and said I, are you unhappy to see Man'er wake up, I can't help but cry with joy, I know, you are now seeing my old man old, you can bully me. Shen Man'er couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw her father's appearance.
"Third brother, don't make trouble with your father, what an old person, the maid who guards a room is not afraid of being laughed at. Dad, Man'er is hungry and wants to eat crystal shrimp dumplings and glutinous rice porridge"
"Hey, dad is going to let people do it, and I'm still stunned about what to do, I didn't hear that Miss is hungry, go to the kitchen, what are you doing in the house, let Miss wash, and go out to do their own work. As he spoke, he pulled a room of people and retreated outside.
"Miss, you can calculate, you burned again last night, the third young master is about to go crazy, our doctor in the capital, almost let the third young master invite, thank God, you burned in the second half of the night, the doctor said that you are weak, this time the illness is urgent, but you have to take care of it, wait for the weather to warm up, you can rest assured." Zhu'er said, while preparing face wash for the young lady, and generally helping Shen Man'er dress. Shen Man'er is not hypocritical, she has been fantasized about being served by others for I don't know how many days and nights she has fantasized, and finally she really has this day, you must enjoy it, everything else is a floating cloud.
After breakfast, Shen Man'er walked around the garden accompanied by Zhu'er, looking at the scattered pavilions and pavilions in the distance, several rockeries and bamboo forests, the verandah was paved with smooth pebbles and extended to the octagonal pavilion by the lake, and a redbud bloomed on the verandah, echoing the spring flowers in the distance. Shen Man'er couldn't help but sigh, this ancient was really extravagant, just a prime minister's mansion is comparable to a modern park, how big does this palace have to be. Breathing in the unique fresh air that belonged to ancient times, Shen Man'er felt the cells in her whole body cheer. In fact, Shen Man'er had been to the palace many times before, but now Shen Man'er does not have a strong sense of substitution, so she completely ignores it.
The prince hidden in the shade of the tree in the distance, seeing Shen Man'er's playful appearance, the affection in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and he turned around and disappeared. Shen Man'er felt as if a beam of eyes was watching her, and looked around, but only saw the swaying willows, she couldn't help but shake her head, and continued to walk around the yard with Zhu'er.
City gates
The emperor personally welcomed the prince back to the court, the prince was only with the army as a deputy general, and the emperor just wanted him to experience it, but after four years, the prince not only showed outstanding military talent. Now the western wilderness tribes not only take the initiative to surrender, but also are willing to pay tribute every year, and the prince's contribution is not small. The emperor saw the majestic prince riding on top of the sweaty and bloody horse in the distance, wearing silver armor, pedaling heavy cloud boots, holding a sword, and the majestic prince, as if he saw the arrival of the more powerful Jin Dynasty.
The prince leapt down from his standing horse, walked up to the emperor with his sword, and knelt down. "Erchen see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live" The thousands of troops behind him also knelt on the ground, and a burst of "Long live, long live, long live, long live" came, and the momentum was overwhelming.
"My son is flat, my son has worked hard, this time the defeat of a group of western wilderness, all the soldiers have made great contributions, come to reward people according to their merits, the soldiers of the three armies will rest for three days, go home to save their relatives, and set up a banquet to reward the soldiers after three days. The emperor returned to the palace with me. Saying that, he picked up the prince, and the civil and military officials followed him to the palace.
The prince searched the crowd around him, but he didn't see the woman he was worried about, thinking of seeing her weak willow Fufeng this morning, it seemed that he was still not in good shape, and he couldn't help but be even more worried about the beauty.
