Chapter 112: Promotion
Shen Tingnian sniffed and lowered his head, "Later, the uncle who sent him back said that he wanted to bury his bones in that grove. β
After a brief pause, she looked up and asked him, "Do you know why?" β
Pu Yangxu thought for a while, "Because that tree was planted by him himself." β
"What else?" Shen Tingnian was not satisfied with this answer.
"I remember a book that said that a place where you plant trees with your own hands becomes a place of happiness." Pu Yangxu looked at her distressedly, "Your father should have heard of this statement." β
Shen Tingnian's eyes were very wide, she hadn't figured out the problem for so many years.
Finally, there is an answer.
"Really?"
"Really." Pu Yangxu rubbed her face, afraid that she would cry again, so he hugged the person tightly and coaxed, "I'll also plant trees for you, okay?" Planted into a large forest...... And then there's a little red stick buried under every tree, and as soon as you dig it, you'll have ......."
"Liar...... Not every tree was dug up. Shen Tingnian was still coaxed into crying, "No." β
"Yes, yes." Pu Yangxu never knew that she was also crying, she was really caught off guard, Shen Tingnian's crying eyes and nose were red, looking at how cute she was, he was distressed and sad, "I'll take you to the bath-"
"If you cry again, they will hear you."
The hot water in the bath room of the Qianqiu Hall has always been prepared, and it can be washed at any time when you go in, Pu Yangxu did not order Shen Tingnian's attention to divert Shen Tingnian's attention, and sure enough, as soon as he entered, there was an inner attendant waiting.
Shen Tingnian sniffed hard, and when he was hugged by Pu Yangxu and put into the bathtub, he really didn't cry anymore.
Probably crying and laughing for a while today, his emotions are too fickle and fragile, Shen Tingnian is particularly clinging to him, and he wants to accompany him in the bath.
Pu Yangxu was forced to suffer from this sweet torture, and finally waved everyone back, kissing the model to relieve their hunger.
Back on Guangmu, Shen Tingnian yawned and began to sleepy.
"I slept."
"Then I'll sleep too." Pu Yangxu came back after changing his clothes.
Shen Tingnian blinked, made an understatement, rolled over, gave him some place, and then fell asleep with fatigue and satisfaction.
After Pu Yangxu lay down, it wasn't like some people who could sleep...... According to the report, Shen Tingnian's father died of a sudden illness, and she was only five years old at the time.
Will you dig up the whole grove at the age of five? Thinking of the little Shen Tingnian digging trees day by day - he took a deep breath and slowly spit it out.
After a long time to make sure that Shen Tingnian's breathing had calmed down, Pu Yangxu cautiously leaned over a little bit, his chest was close to his back, his arms were around her, and his hands were also touching the familiar position, before he slowly relaxed and felt sleepy.
###
This is the first time in Shen Tingnian's memory that there are lengthy sacrificial ceremonies, cumbersome canonization ceremonies, and boring state banquets in the palace...... And all sorts of people came to me.
In the first two years of entering the palace, Shen Ting did not participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, I don't know what kind of excitement, the two Chinese New Year's Eve dinners were eaten with everyone, she would give a reward to everyone who served around her, and the people associated with her added up to only a dozen people, and the five fingers that could eat together were counted over, and when the night banquet in the palace began, across half of the palace, you could hear the pleasant color of bamboo, and the noise spread, it seemed that the other palaces were exceptionally quiet, and everyone dispersed, She was alone in a thick winter coat watching the fireworks in the yard.
And in her fifth year in the palace, she wore a dress, sat upright the whole time, watching the dazzling dance music.
At a considerable distance across from her, countless eyes were looking at her.
Everyone was thinking about this newly promoted crown princess - she looked like a rumor, her eyebrows were cold, and her temperament was noble, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the taste was quite similar to that of His Royal Highness the Prince.
In fact, Shen Tingnian didn't dress up too exaggeratedly.
However, every detail of her body was worked on by Yue Zhu and the maids of the Thousand Autumn Palace. Because the dress she wore was too heavy, she needed to use heavy makeup, and her facial features should be three-dimensional and profound, so the powder was even little by little, her already white and tender skin was flawless and did not take off her makeup at all, her eyebrows were high, the rouge was red, and the jewelry was also finely matched, using the latest style to create a complete set of gold jewelry - Shen Tingnian only felt that it was too bright and too radiant when he looked in the mirror.
So much so that she is now holding the shelf in a daze, without the slightest consciousness of overpowering the crowd.
Like Shen Tingnian, Wang Cairen, who attended the state banquet for the first time, frequently peeked at her all night, and even her favorite food at the banquet couldn't stop her curiosity and appreciation for Shen Tingnian, who she saw for the first time.
And Zhao Jingyi, who was scanned and compared with Shen Tingnian almost all night, was normal from beginning to end, either eating dishes on the plate or drinking, this calmness, everyone was not convinced.
Seeing that the music was changing wave after wave, Shen Tingnian, who was about to be crushed by the heavy crown on his head, endured until the second half, and almost broke the cup, Pu Yangxu got out and left first with her hand.
"Bear with me, it'll be there soon." Shen Tingnian wanted to remove the crown while still on the chariot, Pu Yangxu had to control her two hands, "I asked the Provincial Government to renovate a palace, to be named Lantang Palace, and I can move in in in February." β
Shen Tingnian's head rested on his shoulder, unloading most of his strength, and complained softly: "It doesn't matter where you live." β
Anyway, the Qianqiu Hall has lived for such a long time, and a month or two more is not too much.
"And what gift do you want?" Pu Yangxu has long been conscious, Shen Tingnian is too difficult to please, so he doesn't know what she likes about.
"Gifts? Why give a gift? Shen Tingnian turned his head, his big eyes full of doubts.
The face that had been covered with fat powder was flushed, and her eyebrows and eyes were particularly beautiful, Pu Yangxu raised her eyebrows, I don't know how many people's eyes were nostalgic for her at night, and there were even those who were dizzy after drinking a little wine and dared to compare her with the deposed former concubine, how could that demon woman be qualified to compare with Shen Tingnian, if it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, he would probably pick off that person's head on the spot...... He supported the back of her head with his hand to prevent the hair crown from slapping herself, and said with restraint: "New Year's gift, I am a year older every year." After tonight, I will be a twenty-year-old little adult. β
Shen Tingnian smiled.
She thought about it, but for a moment she didn't think of what she wanted.
The chariot just arrived at the Qianqiu Palace, Pu Yangxu helped her down, and announced preparedly: "Every year, I have actually prepared a mysterious gift. β
"Where?" Shen Tingnian looked around and didn't find it.
"You go change your clothes first." Pu Yangxu said.
Shen Tingnian wondered in his heart, what kind of mysterious gift was it - Lianyue Zhu was distracted except for the crown and re-tied her hair, and then changed into light clothes, and she was not in a hurry to comb her hair and face, so she ran to the outer hall with her skirt.
Pu Yangxu was waiting in the hall with his mysterious gift, how much Shen Tingnian was looking forward to it, how confused she was at the moment she saw it!
He was holding a child who was at least three years old.
The ghost sent her to think of picking up a child on Puyangxu Street.
"What's wrong? This gift...... Do you like it? Pu Yangxu looked at her with a smile and expectation.
The gushing tongue of fire burned from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and Shen Tingnian tried her best to show a smile, for fear of scaring the child, she even answered in a normal tone: "It turned out to be this gift." β
The child who was holding Pu Yangxu's shoulders with both hands heard the voice and turned his head to look at her, he had a pair of big eyes, black eyes, which were the kind of pure background that Shen Tingnian had never seen, and he looked at her without blinking.
Shen Tingnian stood still, stared at him for a while, and then moved away, and then met Pu Yangxu's eyes, she raised her chin, "Let Yuezhu hug her first." β
As she spoke, she turned and walked back, if she knew that the first New Year's gift she was looking forward to in her life was a living three-year-old childβheh, a normal person couldn't do this.
The more Shen Tingnian thought about it, the more popular he became.
"If you don't like it, I'll let Chen Luo find another home for him."
Pu Yangxu entered the inner hall a little late, and saw her standing at the window blowing the cold wind, so he reacted, afraid that he would provoke her.
"Don't be angryβ"
"What the hell do you think?"
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Shen Tingnian patted his head, "Am I tired and hallucinating?" You send me a baby......"
What did Pu Yangxu think, he actually had a very simple idea, the plan for the eastern tour had already been prepared, and he would leave the palace before the Lantern Festival, afraid that Shen Tingnian would be bored alone, so he would find something for her to do.
Thinking about it, it is best to raise children, and thinking that she has hurt her foundation and is difficult to have children, if she raises children by her side, she may also bring her own children, and such a thing is not uncommon.
But obviously, Shen Tingnian didn't think so, "The woman in the Chunchi Pavilion will give birth in a few months, are you afraid that I won't be able to open it, so get me a child too?" β
"Of course not that." Pu Yangxu had to be on guard when he heard the three words of Chunchi Pavilion, even if he was very sure, he was drunk that night and didn't do anything, that child had nothing to do with him, but the difficulty in this matter was that no one could testify for him, but the facts were still refuting his face, and the queen personally arranged for someone to guard the Chunchi Pavilion, as if he had made a statement, that child was the emperor's heir.
Because of this incident, Pu Yangxu was like falling into a mud pit, and he couldn't wash it clean.
"Nian Nian, listen to me, that child, let's leave it alone, okay?" Pu Yangxu held her shoulders and approached each other, so that she could see herself clearly and see her heart, "When the net cover is still above our heads, we can't see the truth clearly." Only when it fell on our bodies, we grabbed it, tore it with our own hands, and broke it open. β
Shen Tingnian blinked, slightly hooked his lips and showed a malicious smile, "Are you afraid of what I will do to that child, and then your mother will have a logical reason to clean me up, will you be a filial son or a rebel son when the time comes?" β
"Don't be joking, I'm serious."
The more serious Pu Yangxu is on his face, the more helpless he is in his heart, compared to the uneven struggle between his parents, that is, the left hand beats the right hand, he hurts wherever he hurts, and he wins wherever he wins, but Shen Tingnian is different, if she fights with the queen, the consequences - I can't think about it.
