Chapter 38: Hooked
As soon as Shen Yunxiao's words came out, Yun Lian's face finally turned a little red, and suddenly became as white as paper.
"Isn't Miss Yun's dance prepared for the Queen Mother's winter solstice feast? If you make a mistake, shouldn't you make amends to the Queen Mother? Ben Shuai is just a courtier who was invited to the banquet, but he didn't dare to accept your gift before the Queen Mother. ”
Shen Yunxiao was still smiling, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes when he looked at Yun Lian.
After all, Yunlian was still a little girl, and she was embarrassed by Shen Yuntong in public, but she was a little overwhelmed, and looked at the Queen Mother for help.
At this glance, Shen Yunxiao determined that the reason why Yunlian came out to dance this dance and made so many tricks was indeed from the Queen Mother's handiwork.
"Shen Shuai is right, Lian'er, you are indeed a little rude, Lord Shen Shuai has a lot, you won't bother with a little girl, Lian'er, toast Shen Shuai, it will be regarded as your rude atonement."
The Queen Mother glanced at Yun Lian, pretended to be serious and reprimanded, followed the rude words, and went around and around, Yun Lian wanted to salute this cup of wine, Shen Yunyu still couldn't shirk it.
"Yes, Shen Shuai, the courtier's salute to your glass of wine should be regarded as a reparation for the rudeness."
Yun Lian got up slowly, walked to Shen Yunxiao's banquet with gentle steps, picked up the wine jug on the table, poured two glasses of wine, and handed it to Shen Yunyu with affection.
Beauty and wine, everyone only thinks that this scene is pleasing to the eye, and they are all waiting to see if Shen Yunxiao will accept this friendship along the river.
"The Queen Mother said so, Miss Yun is a woman, and it's not good not to give this face, then, Miss Yun has accepted this glass of wine, and she won't mind what happened before."
Yun Lian was overjoyed when she heard Shen Yunxiao's words, but Shen Yunyan once again shattered all of Yun Lian's longing in the next moment.
In front of everyone's eyes, Shen Yunxiao stretched out his hand and brushed away the wine glass that Yun Lian had sent to him, took the white jade cup used by Meng Jiao to himself, poured it full of wine, and drank it all.
Shen Yunxiao had already finished drinking, even if Yunlian was wronged, she couldn't say anything, so she could only put down a glass of wine in embarrassment, drank the other glass in her hand, and hurriedly got off the field with tears in everyone's slightly surprised eyes.
The Queen Mother squinted, very dissatisfied with Shen Yunxiao's ignorance of current affairs, and also felt pity for Yunlian's uselessness, thinking that she had a good appearance for nothing.
"Shen Shuai is really not a person who cares about everything, it's just that the mourning family is mistaken, the wine glass used by Shen Shuai is Mrs. Meng's?"
However, the Queen Mother is not the one who can easily suffer, Shen Yun lost her face, she naturally couldn't let the other party retreat.
Didn't Shen Yunxiao care about Meng Jiao the most? She was going to ask everyone to poke Meng Jiao's backbone and point at her as a punishment.
"The queen mother is really good eyesight, and a person like the minister who is about to have a family is not suitable for drinking the wine handed over by other girls, so it can only be so."
The ground was thundering, and Shen Yunxiao's sentence was about to have a family, and he successfully made a huge palace hear.
Meng Jiao, who was sitting on the side watching the play with relish, was almost choked by his words, and her face was crimson, this person... How can this man always say such shocking things?
The Queen Mother was also stunned, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and her eyes were full of disbelief when she looked at Shen Yunxiao.
"Family? Why didn't the mourning family hear about it, Shen Shuai... Got a married person? ”
"Oh, the minister is not a high-profile person, so he has already sent a wedding gift to the Meng family, and he didn't make a big deal about it, it's just that there are rumors in the market, the Queen Mother should have heard of it, but she didn't take it seriously."
After Shen Yunxiao saw Meng Jiao for the first time, he gave a heavy gift to the Meng family, which is indeed well known, but no one has ever taken this matter seriously, who knows that it is a marriage gift!
The Queen Mother's face is really wonderful now, and her eyes when she looked at Shen Yunxiao were full of unkindness, and she could be said to be gritting her teeth with hatred.
Shen Yunxiao made a marriage with the Meng family early, and no one knew about it, so she planted such a big heel at this banquet, I am afraid that tomorrow, the queen mother has the heart to reward beauties, but Shen Shuai has lost face, and everyone will know about it.
"Such a big deal, Shen Shuai actually kept it a secret, it's really... At great pains. ”
The last four words, the Queen Mother almost gritted her teeth and said them, but Shen Yunxiao didn't feel anything, she was still smiling on her face, and she didn't seem to take it seriously at all.
"The minister's marriage, how is it also the minister's own decision, Gillian and I are happy, the Meng family has long acquiesced to this marriage, and Gillian has not yet reached the end of the matter, this matter is not suitable for publicity, and besides, the minister and Gillian are not people who act publicly."
Meng Jiao was a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed when he heard it, which one was happy with him, and none of the Meng family agreed to him, he even wanted to tell this kind of nonsense.
If... What if she doesn't agree? What should he do? He is a marshal with a heavy army, and he will lose face, and maybe it will become the biggest joke in the capital.
Meng Jiao suddenly paused when she thought of this, yes, if she stood up and said that she didn't agree, Shen Yunyu would become a joke in the capital, such a good person, such a proud and wanton person, how could it become a joke for everyone?
She found that she was reluctant.
Therefore, Mrs. Meng, who should have stood up to refute this false rumor, sat in her seat peacefully, lowered her eyebrows, and completely confirmed this rumor of marriage.
"Shen Shuai is really... Diligent. ”
The Queen Mother saw that Meng Jiao did not move, so she believed that this matter was already a certainty, just waiting for Meng Jiao and Lu Zhili, the two families could settle this layer of in-law relationship.
The matter has come to this, her face has been lost, and she can't save anything anymore, so she can only turn the page on this matter, after all, she is the queen mother of a country, and everyone here is a person who can see things, today's matter, she will do it, and there will be no rumors that are too detrimental to her reputation.
In this big banquet, everyone can be said to be worthwhile, until the end of the big banquet, everyone still got together in twos and threes, and they couldn't do without Shen Yunxiao and Meng Jiao.
On the second day, the news that the Shen and Meng families had already decided to marry spread throughout the capital, Shen Yunyu admitted it in public, and the other party, Meng Jiao, did not refute it.
However, although she was on the cusp of the storm for a while, Meng Jiao was in no mood to think about it.
The person who was placed next to Liu Qingqing by Mama Lin came to report that Liu Qingqing invited a midwife from her mother's house in the south, and this mother-in-law was the one who delivered Xue Wan back then.
