Chapter Ninety-Nine: Family
"Send the mother back to the room, and His Royal Highness will rush back to the palace." The palace maid took the comb and gently smoothed her waist-length hair while replying.
Shen Tingnian thought about the time to return to the palace, and yesterday he only glanced at Shen Bin who was stable and rushed to the quiet room, and today he didn't have time to go to Shenjiafang, her younger brother was in charge of Shenjiafang...... And her mother, who hasn't seen her for four years, doesn't know if it's ...... I will still remember her.
seemed to have figured out Shen Tingnian's thoughts, after finishing the makeup, Xu Xi came in, saluted Shen Tingnian first, and said with a smile, "Your Highness has something to say, let the servants go and invite Niangniang's family to come over and have breakfast together." ”
Shen Tingnian was stunned for a moment, got up and walked out with the palace maid's hand, "My brother and they...... Are they all here? ”
Xu Xi still smiled and walked along, "Hui Niangniang, they are all here, because His Royal Highness left a message to return to the palace before noon, so he can only arrange breakfast for Niangniang's family to reunite." ”
The implication is that if not, there could be a better arrangement.
The group went to the front hall, Shen Tingnian pressed the emotions in her heart, and she asked Xu Shi casually, "Didn't you pass on Grandpa Chen to leave the palace with the attendants yesterday, why did you change Grandpa Xu?" ”
Xu Xian was completely impressed by Shen Tingnian, and he never knew better than him, grabbing the prince's heart was equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the people under them, where did he dare to accidentally curry favor, and hurriedly replied: "It was His Royal Highness who arranged for Gonggong Chen for something, and then summoned the slave maid over for Niangniang to send." ”
After a pause, he seemed to feel that he could tell the truth, so he added two more sentences, "His Royal Highness picked up a child on the street and asked Gonggong Chen to take care of it." ”
Picked up a child? Shen Tingnian's heart was racing, and he couldn't help but feel a heaviness, he wanted to ...... Kids?
Shen Tingnian didn't often live in the Shen Mansion in the past, Xu Xian was in front all the way, she walked without hurry, and took a look at the environment in the backyard of the Shen Mansion, and sure enough, it didn't change at all.
When Xu Yan turned around, he was very happy to see her expression, this place looked very elegant, bypassing a few flower gates, passing through the corridor, and seeing a group of people rushing towards them from a distance.
"Sister!"
As soon as he heard this call, Xu Xian's eyes jumped, but the two palace maids who accompanied him stepped forward, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, and a light blue figure rushed quickly, just stopped by the agile palace maid.
And Shen Tingnian was also stunned, she hadn't seen her for four years, and the skinny and small leather child was a lot taller than her.
"Sister......" Shen Bo was blocked by the two palace maids, stretched his neck to look at Shen Tingnian, there were teardrops on his eyelashes, and his face was also stained with tears, but his eyes were dripping, it turned out that they had seen Shen Tingnian first from afar.
"You guys, get out of the way......"
"What are you doing in my way?"
While talking, he forcibly pushed the palace maid to get out of the way and wanted to go over.
This scene really surprised Xu Xian, he turned to look at Shen Tingnian who was standing in place, the latter had a faint smile on his face, pursed his lips slightly, and those smiling eyes suddenly stimulated him, and those eyes in his memory had never been so beautiful and dazzling...... He even remembered the moment when her eyes were dull and stood under the corridor of Changxin Garden.
Xu Xian suddenly understood Shen Tingnian's beauty, which was far from appearance.
"Shen Bo, you give me a quieter!"
Suddenly, a gentle scolding voice came, and looking at the voice, it was a woman with excessive makeup and luxurious clothes, she didn't go fast, but she was a little anxious, and she arrived in front of her in an instant, and Shen Bo immediately settled down.
After this quiet, Xu Xian also saw his appearance clearly, it was not at all like Shen Tingnian, Shen Bo was thin and tall, with a dark complexion, and his cheeks were also thin and concave, a little less sunny than ordinary young people.
"Yuan Nu ......" Shen Mu stood the farthest, looking at Shen Tingnian, she choked silently.
With this whisper, the courtyard was quiet for a while, this was obviously an elegant courtyard, a breeze, and the garden was full of fragrance.
Shen Tingnian pursed her lips, it was still the title of her hometown Nong, and it was still like that, but it hadn't lingered in her ears for too long.
Unlike the previous calm, Shen Tingnian also moistened his eyes, and said softly: "Let them come over......
The palace maid didn't stop again, the two of them stepped forward, habitually standing on Shen Tingnian's left and right, their eyes were red, and Shen Bo turned his back and wiped his eyes.
"My Yuan girl......" Shen's mother quickly burst into tears, and the hastily applied layer of fat powder was also spent, she didn't dare to come closer, only cried silently. Shen Tingnian took a deep breath, suppressed the sour taste in his throat, stopped looking at her, and asked his younger brother beside him in a kind tone, "Why are you so thin?" Didn't you eat well on weekdays?
"No, I'm just too picky."
Shen Bo hurriedly shook his head and replied, Shen Ting looked at him with distress, the seventeen-year-old boy was no longer as immature as she remembered, and this head jumped so fast, he was about to catch up with the prince......
"Don't feel sorry for him, this kid is always stupid, he saves money and is reluctant to spend, he thinks about you coming back every day, he always goes to clean your yard where you lived before......"
"Sister, don't listen to your mother!"
Shen's mother couldn't stop talking about Shen Bo, and her tears quickly cleared away, "If you don't listen to me, you won't listen, let you do things well, instead of studying with a lamp and oil, what kind of fame do you want to test, your sister is ......"
"Don't say it, it's just annoying."
The two are obviously used to arguing, sentence by sentence.
Shen Tingnian was used to such an atmosphere, and his eyes gradually brightened, as if he was no longer disturbed by the crying Shen mother.
Xu Shi put aside his gaze, his mind to watch the play was exhausted, and his heart suddenly followed a heavy depression.
"Niangniang, breakfast in the front hall has been prepared, please move there."
As soon as the breeze blew, everyone's clothes flew away, and gradually a few people walked away.

Qianqing Palace.
Pu Yangxu rushed back to the palace not for the early dynasty, but because Emperor Kang An was not in good health, the early dynasty was not opened, and all his good mood was terminated when the imperial doctor diagnosed that the emperor sprained his waist due to 'physical exhaustion' when he favored his concubines.
I have thought of a thousand ways for this man to die, and this is a new high.
"Your Highness, all the people present at the time of last night's incident were here, this is the confession after the interrogation." Fu An, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, presented a confession on the one hand, and knelt down to plead guilty, after all, if something happened to this master, the servants around him were inevitably derelict in their duties.
Pu Yangxu took a rough sweep of the confession, and he was even more angry.
At what age do you dare to recruit five concubines overnight, it's just a matter of playing in turns, and you have to go on five people together, and the follow-up description is simply ...... Pu Yangxu was nauseous for a while.
He endured his anger and discomfort, and as soon as he looked up, he saw several scantily clad concubines kneeling below the hall still staring at him, "All of them will be locked up in the Punishment Division, and then the queen will deal with them." ”
He only felt that the air in the Qianqing Palace was dirty, and he couldn't stay for a moment, so he threw the confession back to Fu'an, and strode out with his hands behind his back, not planning to go in to take a look at Emperor Kang'an.
Fu'an looked at his distant back, thoughtful, and the little apprentice beside him cleverly knelt down to help him get up, and whispered, "The emperor is calling inside, I'm afraid it hurts badly......"
"What's the panic, rearrange a few clever and beautiful palace maids to go in to serve the sick." Fu'an folded the rice paper of the confession, as if remembering something, "What is the name of a palace maid who refused to record a confession last night?" ”
The little apprentice scratched his head and hurriedly replied: "It's called Hexi, the new one who has entered the palace is very solid, and he is not afraid of beating or dying." ”
"Take her out, you don't have to go to the Punishment Division, she will be transferred to the Warm Pavilion, and she will be responsible for feeding the emperor with medicine."
The little apprentice couldn't figure out why this kind of disobedient could still be reused? But he didn't dare to ask, so he nodded busily.

Although several days have passed, Shen Ting has returned to the palace once and dug the ditch that has been blocked for many years, and he feels happy and in a happy mood when he thinks about it.
The morning light is faint, and the glow is rising.
The sky was still only shining, and the white curtains were already stained with a hint of red.
Shen Tingnian stared, and when she looked out the window and lost her mind slightly, a golden light suddenly shone from behind the glow, one by one, penetrating the distance between heaven and earth and slowly reflecting her clear eyes.
The sun rises and the morning glow, the eyes are shining, life should be so beautiful.
A big hand reached out from her waist and slid into her palm along her arm and wrist, ten fingers interlocked, slightly forced, Shen Tingnian bent his lips, looked at him sideways, his eyes lingered on his handsome face with his eyes closed, and he was greedy for a while, and he was obsessed for a while.
"Awake?" As he spoke, his chin gently pressed against Shen Tingnian's forehead, and there was a faint warmth that made people slack off in the friction.
"Well, you should, get up......"
"I don't think of ......" Pu Yangxu woke up completely after speaking, let go of her slightly, his face was a little stunned, but Shen Tingnian was very happy, pursed his lips and snickered, Pu Yangxu's face was pale, and he raised his hand and lowered her nose, "Don't laugh." ”
Shen Tingnian laughed louder and louder, Pu Yangxu was helpless, so he had to let her turn over and get out of bed, but Shen Tingnian actually sat up with him, and his voice with a smile was soft and moving: "I will serve His Highness to get dressed......"
"Will you?" Pu Yangxu suspected that this person had never waited for him to get up, and the despised Shen Tingnian raised his chin and glanced at him, but the next moment he was stopped by the action of getting out of bed, Pu Yangxu leaned over and approached, only wearing a single coat and half-naked chest, exuding masculinity, and his voice was hoarse: "Nian Nian ......"
The following words disappeared between her lips and teeth, a lingering and deep kiss, which gave Shen Tingnian the illusion that time was frozen and everything was still, and that morning was the most beautiful sunrise she saw after entering the palace, and it was also the most beautiful thing she missed for a long time to come......
Pu Yangxu has been a little busy lately and can't get out, and it's rare to come to Changxinyuan, not only don't you think about it when you get up, but you don't want to leave when you leave.
Xu is too bad outside, and the people outside are too eyesore, there is no place in this palace that makes him more relaxed and happy than Shen Tingnian.
