Chapter 40: Uncle Shen

The wine on the table here was not yet full, and Zong Zhengyu came over again, she was straightforward and did not hide her hatred for Zong Zhengjin at all.

"If it weren't for my father watching, this princess wouldn't have come to toast you." She whispered to her, Zong Zhengjin smiled, and said, "You want to respect, this princess doesn't want to drink yet!"

"You ......" Zong Zhengyu was about to get mad, but when she saw Yi Chu looking at her, she instantly changed her gentle expression and said with a smile: "The imperial sister has worked hard all the way, the imperial sister will give you a cup." Zong Zhengjin's face was full of astonishment, and when he saw her squinting at Yi Chu, he understood everything, and he was annoyed for a while, nodded with a cold face, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Seeing that she had finished drinking, Zong Zhengyu was not good at rubbing any longer, Xiao Yan took a sip before walking slowly towards the opposite side, and did not forget to throw a flattering eye at Yi Chu when she left, but Yi Chu didn't see her, but Zong Zhengjin on the side was very unhappy, and drank another glass of wine. Her amount of alcohol is not good, and after these three glasses, she is a little dizzy and blushing.

"By the way, what about the eldest princess Zong Zhengyan?" She looked around and found that Zong Zhengyan was not there, how could she miss this occasion?

Hearing the princess's question, Zhao Qing immediately leaned over and whispered in her ear: "The eldest princess added a son to her husband's family not long ago, and now she is in confinement, so it is not appropriate to go out."

"Oh, no wonder", Zong Zhengjin understood. To say that this Zhengyan marriage can be regarded as a twist and turn, it was Wang Ziling, the second son of Wang Shilang's family, who was originally engaged to her, but later there was a plague in Yangzhou, and Wang Ziling was sent to the frontier, and the marriage between the two of them was naturally annulled. But in order to marry the princess, the Wang family insisted on letting the youngest son of the Wang family, Wang Zicong, marry the princess, that Wang Zicong is a typical gentleman, and the eldest princess is a hot temper, and the two quarreled and quarreled three days after marriage, which made the palace restless, and now the eldest princess has finally added a son to the Wang family, and the days will be much better in the future.

Thinking of this, Zong Zhengjin couldn't help but chuckle, I am afraid that Zong Zhengyan still remembers Wang Ziling's hatred, and he will inevitably find trouble for himself in the future.

"The ministers will see Princess Jinyang and welcome the princess back to the palace." A voice suddenly came from overhead, Zong Zhengjin raised his eyes, and in front of her stood a middle-aged couple and a young man. Looking closely, the middle-aged man looked a little similar to his mother.

Zong Zhengjin already understood seven or eight points in his heart, but he asked with doubts on his face, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man immediately smiled flatteringly: "The princess was young at that time, I'm afraid she can't remember clearly, the minister is Shen Guifei's younger brother, your uncle!"

"Ah, this princess heard from her mother that you are Uncle Huaixian?" Zong Zhengjin asked deliberately happily, as soon as those people heard this name, their smiles immediately froze on their faces, and the man said with some embarrassment: "Princess, the minister is Shen Huaiyuan, your second uncle."

"Oh, it turned out to be Uncle Huaiyuan." Zong Zhengjin sneered in her heart, of course she knew that the person in front of her was Shen Huaiyuan, but in her heart, there was only one uncle, and that was Shen Huaixian, the maternal uncle who was the same mother as the concubine. Although she had never seen it, she knew that Uncle Huaixian treated her and her mother very well, as for this uncle, hum! In the year of the death of the mother, the Shen family was hit hard by the Xu family, this uncle actually took refuge in the Xu family for the sake of glory and wealth, and his uncle Shen Huaixian was framed by the Xu family in order to find out the cause of the death of the mother, and was relegated to the northwest as a county guard, and has not been recalled so far. When she was frustrated everywhere in the harem, she didn't see this uncle come to see her, and now that she has returned to the dynasty with glory, they can't wait to recognize their relatives?

"Princess, you suffered back then, and the minister wanted to help the princess, but the Shen family has fallen, and the minister can't do anything!" Shen Huaiyuan couldn't wait to squeeze out two tears to show that he was really worried about her.

"That's right, princess, we've heard about your life in Yangzhou in the past few years, and we're really worried about you." His wife, Liu, also put on a very worried look.

Zong Zhengjin looked at all this coldly, for them, she really didn't show any good feelings, but a smile appeared on her face, she raised her wine glass, and said: "Jinyang knows that uncle, uncle is content when he cares, now that Jinyang is back, you should also be relieved, Jinyang toasts you."

"I've seen the princess." That Shen Weien stared at Zong Zhengjin with a stupid face, which provoked the three girls behind her to look at each other angrily, this man dared to stare at the princess so directly, it was really bold! Shameless!

"Hello cousin." How could Zong Zhengjin not be able to see his thoughts, but for this kind of person, she didn't even bother to deal with it. When they wanted to stay close, a man and a woman came up and interrupted their conversation.

"See Princess Jinyang, Princess Chitose!" Tang Yi and Shen Yunlong stood in front of Zong Zhengjin one after the other, Zong Zhengjin nodded, looked at Shen Huaiyuan and the others, and said apologetically: "Uncle, I'm really embarrassed, the two of them may have something to discuss with me, you see....."

"Oh, okay, the ministers will retire first, if the princess is free, she can come to the Shen Mansion at any time to have fun."

"Okay," he watched them leave, and it wasn't until they were far away that Zong Zhengjin faded into a hypocritical smile.

"Sister Princess, those people are really hypocritical." Shen Yunlong's sweet voice came, and impatience was written on a small face. Zong Zhengjin noticed that the little girl was dressed very beautifully today, wearing a light blue gauze skirt that made her skin creamy, smart and cute, and those big clear eyes only needed a few blinks to hook the souls of many men.

"Tsk, Yunlong is so beautiful today." As soon as she heard Zong Zhengjin praise her, Shen Yunlong immediately blushed, and asked in a shy voice, "Really?" Isn't it beautiful?"

"That's nature, I never lie to you." Zong Zhengjin couldn't help pinching her little face. For Shen Yunlong, she really treats her like a sister, she has been by her side for the past two years, in addition to chasing Tang Yi, she wants to really help herself, she gave up the life of a superior lady of the Shen family, and is willing to work hard by her side, bare, she Zong Zhengjin will treat Shen Yunlong well.

"Hee-hee!" Shen Yunlong was amused by her, turned his head to look at Tang Yi, and wanted him to praise himself a few words, but Tang Yi took the lead and said; "Aren't you clamoring for a toast? Why is it disrespectful?"

"Ah, yes, Sister Princess, I want to toast you with this glass of wine." Hearing Tang Yi's words, Shen Yunlong remembered the purpose of his visit, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and toasted with Tang Yi. Zong Zhengjin was already a little dizzy, but the two of them couldn't stop drinking, so they could only endure the discomfort and drink.

"Princess, are you alright?" Seeing that she was a little tired and holding her head, Dongping stepped forward and asked in a whisper,

"I'm a little tired, let's say goodbye to my father later."

"Yes", the three of them were about to help Zong Zhengjin get up, but who knew that Zong Zhengmin rushed over at this time.

"Hey, Sister Huang, I haven't saluted this wine yet, where are you going?" Seeing him standing in front of him with a hippie smile on his face, Zong Zhengjin's head hurt even more, and she complained: "Ah Min, the imperial sister can't drink anymore."

"It's okay, you can't drink it, just let Zhao Qing drink it for you!" As he spoke, he handed the wine glass to Zhao Qing.

"Your Highness, Zhao Qing doesn't know how to drink." Zhao Qing hurriedly excused herself, she had never touched wine, Dongping on the side, Nanxu was also full of anxiety, this His Royal Highness King Min, how could he make trouble with Zhao Qing.

Zong Zhengjin wanted to stop it, but as soon as he saw Zong Zhengmin's expectant little eyes, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, Zhao Qing, you can drink it."

"Princess, I'm ....." Zhao Qing couldn't refuse now, the princess teased, can she not drink? So he took the glass bitterly and drank it reluctantly.

"Nanxu, take Zhao Qing down to rest." Seeing her like this, Zong Zhengjin hurriedly ordered to take her back, and Nan Xu got the order and immediately took Zhao Qing to retreat. Zong Zhengjin looked at Zong Zhengmin again, and said in a slightly reproachful voice: "Now you are satisfied, you are bullying Zhao Qing so much now, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation in the future."

Listening to these slightly meaningful words, Jong Jung-min just smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, yes." Then he walked away with a triumphant smile on his face.

After a while, Zong Zhengjin retired to the emperor, and she was really dizzy. Everyone didn't pay too much attention to the departure of the protagonist Princess Jinyang, anyway, the emperor was still there, and they had no reason to go first. It's just that everyone didn't notice that not long after Princess Jinyang left, the national teacher Yi Chu also quietly left the table.

Yi Chu took advantage of the moonlight and walked forward aimlessly, he didn't like these banquets in the first place, but today was Ah Jin's dust-washing banquet, he had to come, seeing that Ah Jin had left the table, he had no need to stay. That girl drank a lot of wine, and I don't know what happened?

Yi Chu frowned slightly, and his eyes unconsciously showed concern. Looking up at the moon, I didn't want to go back for a while, so I might as well go to the smoke and rain to admire the moon, thinking like this, I walked slowly over there.

When he was still a little distance away from Yanyutai, Yi Chu saw a figure, and when he got closer, it was Dongping.

"I've seen Yi Guoshi", seeing him walking towards him, Dongping stepped forward and saluted. "Why are you here?" Yi Chu looked at her calmly, and he already had the answer in his heart, presumably Ah Jin was also here.

Sure enough, Dongping replied: "The princess said that she wanted to come here to blow the wind and sober up, and asked the slave maid to guard here."

"Then I'll go see her," Yi Chu was about to go over as soon as he heard that Zong Zhengjin was on the platform, but Dongping stretched out his hand to stop him and said; "National teacher, the princess said not to let others disturb her."

"I'm no one else." He glanced at Dongping coldly, and then ignored her obstruction and insisted on walking up.

"Hey....." Dongping wanted to stop him, but suddenly stopped again. If Mr. Yi goes up, I am afraid that the princess will not blame, the princess's thoughts are unknown to others, but the three of them are clear, if they can promote the princess and Mr. Yi..... Hehe, that's great, Dongping thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he didn't stop it, but stood farther away, wanting to take care of the princess and Mr. Yi, this kind of scene is more like a late-night private meeting.
