Chapter 9 Entering the Palace
The sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar is the annual flower god festival in Shengguo. Every year on this day, a thousand flowers banquet will be held in the palace, civil and military officials come to celebrate, monarchs and ministers drink together, courtiers rejoice, in order to congratulate the prosperity of the country, the country and the people, and the victory of thousands of years.
On this day, Shen Yan went down to the court and went straight to Qingzhuyuan, where Rongjin lived. Although Shen Yanzhi hadn't seen Rongjin for several days, Steward He would report Rongjin's itinerary to him every day to relieve his lovesickness. For example, today, when Mrs. Shen got up and rested, what she ate and drank, and even stared at a certain and certain person in the street market a few more times, no matter how big or small, she would tell them one by one.
Before entering Qingzhu Garden, Shen Yanzhi heard the laughter of Rongjin as crisp as a silver bell. Shen Yanzhi's good-looking eyebrows and eyes bent unconsciously, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and Yi Yiran walked into the courtyard.
I haven't seen him for a few days, Rong Jin is half leaning on the chaise longue at the moment, inadvertently looking back and smiling, and only two lines of poetry appeared in Shen Yanzhi's mind: "Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color!" β
Rongjin's face is ruddy, it can be seen that she has been living well these days of cold war with him! Seeing that she was not affected in the slightest, Shen Yanzhi felt that a wave of fire rose in his heart again.
"Ahem!" Shen Yanzhi coughed heavily and signaled that he was coming.
Rong Jin glanced at him coldly, "Shen Gongzi, what are you doing?" β
"I'm here to eat! Hungry! Go and go, serve food to the master. β
The maids in the courtyard were all her people, although they heard her uncle's words, they didn't dare to act rashly, looked at each other, and then looked at Rongjin together.
Rong Jin nodded lightly and said to Shen Yan: "Say, what's the matter?" β
Shen Yanzhi pursed his lips helplessly, and found that his young master was nothing but a void for Qingzhuyuan, and this was already the world of Rongjin! Let's get down to business with her first, "Tonight is the Thousand Flowers Banquet, and you must go to the banquet with me." β
"Why? Didn't you go by yourself in previous years? "It is said that it is a thousand flowers banquet, but in fact it is just an excuse to gather people to drink, and the emperor will hold a banquet every year today, feasting courtiers to drink and have fun, and reward the courtiers who selflessly dedicate their youth to the court.
"Didn't I not marry in previous years? I'm married this year, and you're still letting me go alone? Isn't this a clear show that my colleagues will laugh at me? Shen Yanzhi snorted heavily, strongly expressing his dissatisfaction.
"But I don't like that."
"Dad will go, aunts will go, sisters will go. What a great opportunity for our family to sit together and enhance our relationship! β
"No one wants to have a relationship with you at all, okay?" Rong Jin said disgustedly.
"I think my dad likes me a lot, and every time he sees me, his eyes light up with excitement."
"That's because you're so angry!"
β¦
Under Shen Yanzhi's soft grinding and hard bubbles and repeated bombardment, Rongjin couldn't bear the enemy's sugar-coated cannonballs, and finally nodded in agreement.
Outside the palace, the sun sets, the orange-red sunset fills the sky, and the entire palace is covered with a golden veil. Rongjin and Shen Yan got out of the carriage, and Rongjin straightened the dress, "The dress you made for me fits quite well." β
"If you like it, if you like. Let's go. Shen Yanzhi's eyes flickered, and his expression was unnatural for a moment. The next moment, he took the initiative to take Rongjin's hand and walked into the palace wall with her.
"Hello Lord Shen, this must be Mrs. Shen, she is really a good match with Lord Shen!"
"The same is true for Lord Ling and your lady!"
"Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen are really a pair made in heaven!"
"I've won prizes with adults! I heard that he and the adults recently got a treasure object, and he will have to invite the officials to take a look at it one day! β
"Well said, well said! Lord Shen will appreciate his face at that time! β
Rong Jin's face stiffened with a smile. Walking all the way from outside the palace, Shen Yanzhi met many colleagues who came to the banquet, praised each other, complimented each other, and enjoyed it tirelessly.
"Brother Shen! Brother Shen stayed here" Shen Yanzhi and Rong Jin turned around and saw a man limping towards them, about the same age as Shen Yanzhi. The person who came was the Shaoqing Road of Taichang Temple, who was in charge of the temple sacrifice on weekdays, and was very idle. This man is five big and three thick, majestic, his eyes are like torches, and he has the face of a military attachΓ©, but he is actually powerless. He was awarded the title of official at the same time as Shen Yanzhi, but Shen Yanzhi relied on real talent and learning, and Lu Weixin relied on his ancestors to be shaded. The ancestor of Xin Zu on the road, but the founding general, was deeply relied on by the ancestor of Shengguo, so although this road tasted Xin was not written and martial arts, Emperor Wei also gave him a quiet errand to lead the leader to pass the leisure time.
"Brother Lu!" Shen Yanzhi and Lu Weixin are good friends, and the two often go to the restaurant together to drink and talk in their free time, and they are very like-minded.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong with your leg?" Shen Yanzhi stretched out his hand and helped him.
"A few days ago, I accidentally fell from the attic. Just the attic of the Heavenly Immortal Pavilion. When Lu Weixin talked about this, he was angry. Tianxian Pavilion is a famous red and pink place in the imperial capital, the first brand fairy girl in it, looks like a sinking fish and a wild goose closed the moon and shy flowers, many rich young masters for a kiss Fangze, that is to break the head and rush forward, do not achieve the goal of vowing not to stop! Let's say that that day, he spent a lot of money for the immortals, and finally won a smile from the beauty. There was a slightly higher attic in the Tianxian Pavilion, and the immortal invited him to go up and dance together, so he naturally would not refuse. Just as the two were dancing close to each other and their lust was strong, his younger brother Lu Chuxin, who had never dealt with him, appeared out of nowhere, rushed to the stage like crazy, and kicked him out.
Seeing that Shen Yanzhi wanted to say something more, he hurriedly waved his hand at him, not wanting to mention this embarrassing matter again. "Don't mention it! Have you seen that in this year's Thousand Flowers Banquet, there are many more noble women who have not yet left the cabinet? Tut-tut, let's feast our eyes today! β
"Ahem!" Shen Yanzhi raised his hand and stroked his forehead, with an expression that I didn't know what you were talking about.
"Who is this?" Lu Weixin finally noticed a fresh and refined young woman standing next to Shen Yanzhi.
"My wife!" Shen Yan's face was proud.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Sister-in-law! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! When I saw my sister-in-law today, I knew what the immortals were descending on! Lu Weixin suddenly realized, and his hands were shaken.
"Fortunately, I will be lucky!" The corners of Rongjin's mouth twitched, and he put on his signature smile.
Shen Yanzhi attached his ear to Rongjin's ear and whispered: "Don't laugh! What silly! β
After a while, Shen Yanzhi faintly heard the sound of melting brocade grinding teeth, "Shut up!" β
Lu Weixin was afraid that Rong Jin would misunderstand that Shen Yanzhi was a prodigal son because of his words, so he hurriedly defended: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand!" Brother Shen is really a decent gentleman! He never goes to the Qinglou with us! He didn't even know which room the Oiran Immortal of the Heavenly Immortal Pavilion lived! β
Shen Yanzhi gritted his teeth: "I really thank you!" Brother Lu! β
"You're welcome! Can we have a normal relationship? That's a good brother who worships the boy! As he spoke, he slapped Shen Yanzhi's arm hard.
