Chapter 294: Shen Gui
Shen Gui was originally on the throne with the help of the Empress Dowager Jia'an, and also worked for her for a few years.
But Shen Gui is different from others after all, he was born in the royal family, and he is naturally close to Shen Ze in blood, when he was doing things for the Empress Dowager Jia'an, he also left a way out, and now after Shen Ze's marriage and pro-government, he wanders between the Queen Mother and the emperor, and he is a character who is not suspicious of both sides, this matter is so difficult, I am afraid that only a person with the identity of Shen Gui can do it.
The Empress Dowager Jia'an wanted to tell Shen Gui that marriage was not a one-day or two-day effort, after all, marriage could provide more protection.
It's just that Shen Gui's reputation on the Fengyue field is really not very good, and he is willing to cover it up, at most he has a romantic reputation.
But he was unwilling, so that a girl who did his own thing and made the family retreat, some of them were like the second aunt and niece of the Chen family, and he looked down on him who was willing to marry in the future.
Princess Ping is not in a hurry, but she can't resist Shen Gui, fortunately, his eldest brother and heir are quite prosperous, and his grandchildren have already run all over the ground.
"Why are you bothering to recruit him!" Princess Ping touched Xiao Sun's crimson face, and really wanted to take a rattan and smoke Shen Gui again.
Shen Gui sat with his legs crossed, peeled an orange, swallowed it in two bites, and said, "Why did you call me back?" I'm busy. ”
"What's the busy? What do you have to keep busy? Are you busy going to the Yingge house, or are you in a hurry to go to the Yan Dance Courtyard? ”
Princess Ping was so angry that she forgot that the child was there, and after saying this, she reacted and hurriedly asked the maid to take the child out.
Shen Gui laughed loudly, laughing so much that Princess Ping threw him with a fruit, he grabbed it as soon as he stretched out his arms, and when he saw that it was a date, he took a bite and said, "The mother concubine knows better than me." It's not easy for other girls to make some money, so don't mess with others. ”
Princess Ping frowned and looked at Shen Gui's unstingy appearance, and said, "Mess this Jiao'er, and the next sister, can I pound it?!" ”
Shen Gui smiled and didn't speak, Princess Ping sighed and said, "You are not allowed to go out today, the Yan family will come to take a look at you." ”
The soles of his feet were hot on the charcoal basin, and Shen Gui's smile froze, and then disappeared.
"The Yan family? Mother, aren't you joking? As for Yan Siqing's thatched pit stone, do you want me to marry his daughter? ”
Princess Ping's choice of marriage was already considered from Shen Gui's standpoint, and seeing that he was still so unappreciative, she couldn't help but feel very aggrieved, and said a little angrily: "You refused to marry earlier, the emperor enriched the harem, and a group of good girls were all gone." Now he said that this is the emperor's person, no, that is the queen mother's person, no, this one is too close to the regent, and it won't work. The girl from Yan Siqing's family is always okay, right? Are you really going to go to the countryside and marry a peasant girl?! ”
As she spoke, her eyes reddened.
Shen Gui was both unhappy and a little ashamed, and said in a tangled way: "Mother, don't cry." I'm this, no, Yan Siqing, this, the girl of his family, this, where can I see it? ”
"If you marry a wife, you must marry a virtuous person! You want to look good, and the ones outside aren't enough? Princess Ping's tears disappeared in one fell swoop and she roared.
Shen Gui wiped the spit on his face, and said flatteringly: "Then why did my father take a good-looking and virtuous one?" ”
Princess Ping's face looked a little better, and she said vigilantly: "Don't you plan to run, you must stay today." ”
"The Yan family is not a big deal, why do you have to receive me personally? No one else has seen you like this. "Shen Gui really has a bad headache, but it was caused by his mother and concubine, and he can't blame it.
"Thinking about it, this court is also quiet in his house." Princess Ping was also helpless.
Shen Gui shook his head and said with a wicked smile: "Mother, this is the only quiet family, we also deliberately provoked it, let me ask you, who are the daughters of Yan Siqing's ancestors?" ”
Although Princess Ping doesn't remember very clearly, it seems that none of them are high-ranking officials! There is no one like Shen Gui, who often walks in front of the emperor.
"Mrs. Yan asked you to come here today, right? If you don't give up, just ask. It's just that I think that their family may not be happy, if the words are not speculative, they will send off the guests. I still don't stay, the emperor really summoned me after the morning. ”
Princess Ping still didn't give up, and said: "My son, you look good and capable, our family, this family, is not bad!" Xu asked Mrs. Yan to take a look, and she was willing? After all, it's just to marry a daughter, and it's not for us to tie up the Yan family. ”
Shen Gui really had no choice, so he had to agree with Princess Ping that he would only take a look with Mrs. Yan and leave, and she would just chat with Mrs. Yan today, and she was not allowed to mention marriage.
Princess Ping was overjoyed and agreed, when Mrs. Yan came, Shen Gui raised her legs and left, and met Mrs. Yan on the corridor, Shen Gui only hugged his fists and smiled.
Mrs. Yan was stunned for a moment, returned half a blessing, and turned her face to look back at him. This handsome man with a vigorous step is not everywhere on the street.
Princess Ping listened to the report from the servant and told Mrs. Yan's reaction, and she had a bottom in her heart, and greeted her very kindly.
Shen Gui left this matter behind him as soon as he left the house, and now it was still early, so he rode slowly towards the palace gate.
It was also a coincidence that he happened to meet a team that sent him to be hired, and Shen Gui was afraid that they would startle the horse, so he took the initiative to take a detour.
But the festive and cheerful voice stuck to Shen Gui's neck and refused to let go, and he could still hear it clearly from a distance.
This voice only made Shen Gui feel irritable, he plucked out his ears, and said to himself: "Marrying a wife, it's boring." ”
After entering the palace, Shen Gui waited for him in Shen Ze's study for a long time, and waited until the first snow of this winter ushered in this palace.
The first snow was like this, it fell quickly and quickly, the sky was suddenly cloudy, since the first snowflakes fell, the snowflakes behind were like chicken feathers splashed out of the basket, piles of down.
"Sir, the emperor is coming back soon." I don't know which little eunuch buried his head reminded him, Shen Gui took one last look at Xue and left from the window.
When he walked to the door, Shen Zecha walked in wrapped in wind and snow, Shen Gui knelt down on his knees, and said, "The minister asks the emperor for peace." ”
"Get up." The voice sounded like it was breathing somewhere.
Shen Ze was covered in snow, and he didn't know if the eunuch didn't serve him well, or if he was in too much of a hurry, so the eunuch couldn't keep up.
Several eunuchs rushed up and cleaned the snow on Shen Ze's body from top to bottom, Shen Ze beckoned to Shen Gui and motioned him to go to the inner room of the study.
Shen Gui didn't know anything about today's affairs, but he didn't hide what Shen Ze did, so naturally he had nothing to worry about, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the emperor?" Who provoked you? ”
Shen Ze calmed down, glanced at Shen Gui, and said, "My cousin is still smart, and I haven't bothered to marry yet." Woman, it's unreasonable! ”
"Your Majesty, this is a joke for me." Shen Gui sat down under Shen Ze, and his tone was as casual as a pair of ordinary brothers, "Are you arguing with the queen?" ”
"The queen has always been submissive, how can she quarrel with me." Shen Ze shook the string of beads with tassels in his hand, still with an unhappy expression, "It's Song Guifei." ”
Shen Guigang lifted the lid of the tea, paused, blew open a sharp leaf, took a sip, and said, "Song Guifei is more delicate, and it is also interesting for women to be a little hypocritical occasionally." ”
Shen Ze didn't speak, and when it came to three points, it was almost the same, and the remaining seven points were not said, and Shen Gui also knew.
The regent is in turmoil, Song Guifei is his sister-in-law, and the family is connected, so it is impossible not to be involved.
"However, although she is a woman who has a family to rely on, it is not smooth to be able to make the emperor angry all the way from the snow, and Song Guifei's temperament is also big enough. Shen Gui thought and laughed silently in his heart.
"The emperor asked me to come today, but what's the matter?" Shen Gui said.
Shen Ze frowned, sighed again, and said, "Ah, I forgot about this." I knew I wouldn't talk about Song Guifei in front of you. ”
Shen Gui's brain turned quickly, raised a pair of eyebrows high, his eyes widened, and said, "Your Majesty, is it possible that you also want to be a matchmaker for me?" ”
Seeing his funny expression, Shen Ze couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not me, it's the Queen Mother." It's just that she felt that she didn't listen to what she said, and she didn't want to force you to nod, so she let me talk. ”
'The Queen Mother asked the emperor to come to her, which is interesting. ’
Hearing this, Shen Gui had some plans in his heart, but he tilted the corners of his mouth, smiled in a straight way, and said: "Those girls that the Queen Mother has taken a fancy to, each of them is boring like a cup of tea that has been drunk more than ten times, and a bird fades out, cough cough, no, it's dull, it's a little dull." ”
"But you always have to get married." Shen Ze sighed, the young man pretended to be old, and he was talking about his appearance, "The Queen Mother's vision is high, and she belongs to Yu Shangshu's family." ”
Shen Gui frowned and thought for a while, then said with an embarrassed expression: "Didn't Sister Yu enter the palace?" ”
He was talking about Yu Tian'er.
Shen Ze was also stunned, only to remember that there is indeed such a concubine, since he went to her palace three months ago, Shen Ze has never been there, Concubine Yu's appearance is compared in this palace, it seems that she has no strengths, it seems that her temperament is also a coquettish, but she is not as charming as Cui Meiren, and she is not up or down, no wonder she has no impression.
"It's her sister-in-law. There is more than one sister in the Yu family. Shen Ze said.
Shen Gui smacked his lips and said with dissatisfaction: "Look at the emperor's look just now, I probably can't even remember the appearance of Concubine Yu, so her sister-in-law ......
Shen Gui is not looking good at the suspect's parents, although there is something inappropriate about talking about the concubine, but Shen Ze doesn't care, he just laughs angrily when he picks and chooses, and says: "Only concubines ask for sex!" ”
Shen Gui still didn't agree, but saw a little eunuch walk in and said to Shen Ze: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zheng asks to see you." ”
'Concubine Zheng? Which Zheng concubine? Shen Gui couldn't think of it for a while, so he only got up and planned to avoid it.
Shen Ze waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and said, "Let her in." ”
The woman's gentle footsteps came from far and near, Shen Gui suddenly looked back, and after seeing the goose-yellow curtain, he showed a face that looked a little similar to Zheng Lingyi, with thick eyelashes and a curled nose, white skin and red lips.
