Chapter 040: The Day of Joy Changes
Therefore, at this time, the palace maids helped Hua Ning left and right to go forward, and after walking for a long time, they could be counted as reaching the palace gate. Shen Xian Jian had been waiting for a long time, he hadn't seen Hua Ning for a month, he almost couldn't help but want to go forward and lift the hijab directly, but just as he was about to stretch out his hand, he was stopped by the palace maid and said, "Lord Wang, this is not in line with etiquette." The prince had to carry the princess to the palanquin and send the princess into the palanquin, without removing the hijab. ”
Thinking that he had endured it for so long, and it was not bad for a while, Shen Xian Jian slowly squatted down and said, "Lady, come up." ”
Hua Ning was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "Fiber Key, did you carry me, I'll just go by myself." ”
Shen Qianjian said arrogantly: "How much can you weigh, come up, I can't help it for a moment, if you grind again, I will remove your hijab." ”
Seeing him say this, Hua Ning had no choice but to lean over on Shen Qiankey's back, this was the first time she was carried by Shen Qiankey. The man carried it very easily, and Hua Ning secretly said in her heart: It seems that the fiber key is not as weak as imagined, I really underestimate him.
Shen Xian Jian put her down in the sedan chair, and rode on the horse himself, and at this time he heard the eunuch shouting: "Welcome the relatives and send off the princess and princess." ”
The group set off from the palace in a mighty way, and it really took a circle around the entire capital as Shen Xian Jian said.
The streets were bustling, mostly "Which girl is this, such a good fortune to marry the prince of Yue." ”
"What kind of girl, this is the righteous sister of His Majesty today, and she is Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"I heard that it was originally from the girl of the prince of Yue."
"A girl has such a good fortune."
"No, Prince Yue is the object of everyone's affection in Beijing."
"This girl must have done a good deed in her previous life to cultivate her life."
“……”
Hua Ning has always had excellent ear skills, so she can hear them all clearly, how could she not think so, I really don't know how much good she did in her previous life to marry Shen Xiankey.
After a whole circle, the group went to the palace, Shen Xian key got off the horse and came to the sedan chair to carry Hua Ning on his back, and only put it down after entering the door, and the two of them stepped over the brazier and went to the main hall. Because Shen Qiankey's parents died at a young age and there were no elders, Shen Qiankey invited Prime Minister Mo Junyan and Emperor Shen Huan.
The two were sitting in front of the hall, Shen Qianjian took Hua Ning's hand and walked to the front of the hall, and when he was about to worship the hall, he suddenly heard an exclamation, and the courtyard was in chaos.
Shen Xian Jian was furious, on such an important day, these dogs didn't have any eyesight, he shouted: "What kind of system is noisy? ”
Xiao Yun hurriedly led the servants to kneel on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Lord Wang, the prince, the prince, the prince is gone." ”
Hua Ning lifted her hijab, and her voice trembled: "What did you say?" Ah Yue, he's gone? ”
Hua Ning only felt that it was dark in front of her, and the whole person was about to faint.
Shen Qianjian hurriedly supported her and said, "Hua Ning, don't worry about it first, you may just run out to play, let's look for it." ”
She has always known Ah Yue's temperament, although he likes to play, but he is extremely sensible, and it is impossible for him to run out to play on such an important day. What's more, Ah Yue hasn't seen her for a month, and he must be looking forward to her coming back, how could it be.
At that moment, an arrow flew in from the wall and landed on the pillar of the gate.
Shen Xianjian shouted: "Mu Chan, catch him for me." ”
As he spoke, Shen Xian Key went out of the door, and there was a letter tied to the arrow, and Shen Xian Key called the letter, which read:
Little beauty, since you refuse to obey me, I will take your son away. When you read this letter, my people have already hurried out of the capital and arrived at the border gate. If you want to get your son back, come to my Xiqin to look for me, maybe I will see your face and let your son go.
Feng Liao
Shen Qianjian threw the letter on the ground in a fit of rage, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill her, I'm going to kill her." ”
Hua Ning picked up the letter tremblingly, and cried after reading it.
Shen Xian Jian rarely saw Hua Ning crying, he hurriedly hugged her and said, "Ah Ning, don't be afraid, Ah Yue will be fine, I will go to Xiqin and find him back, don't be afraid." ”
The man himself had already red eyes, but he still wiped his tears for Hua Ning to comfort her.
Shen Huan and the others also read the letter one after another, Shen Huan was furious, and instructed the guards: "Pass it on, immediately send troops to recruit Western Qin, and ask them to release the prince, otherwise, Western Qin will be destroyed." ”
Shen Huan slowed down and said, "Fiber Key, don't worry about it first. ”
Shen Xian Jian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "You can't send troops to recruit, that crazy woman may be unfavorable to Ah Yue, we have to ...... Think long way. ”
He has always had a lot of ideas, but at the moment, his heart is in turmoil, and Hua Ning is crying so much in his arms that he can't think even more.
After a while, Shen Xian Jian said: "Since that woman left a letter, it must be just to lead me forward, and she will not hurt Ah Yue for a while." Since this is the case, I will quietly go to Xiqin, inquire about the situation first, and then report to you at that time. ”
Hua Ning raised her head sharply and said, "You can't go, I don't want to lose even you, Fiber Key." ”
Shen Xianjian shed a tear, rolled his Adam's apple up and down, and said, "Ah Ning, I will bring Mu Chan, there will be no danger, obedient." ”
This is the first time that Shen Xian Jian asked Hua Ning to be obedient, Hua Ning felt uncomfortable in her heart, she shook her head, held his hand, and said: "I'll go with you, even if I die, I'll be with you, don't leave me." ”
Shen Qianjian nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "Okay, don't cry, Ah Yue is fine." ”
Shen Huan, Mo Junyan and others persuaded them again and again, but they still couldn't sway their determination. After all, Shen Xiankey's consideration is not entirely unreasonable, and it is human nature that the two of them cannot gamble with the child's life.
Therefore, a few people could only promise him and the two of them to go to Xiqin, but if there was any danger, they would immediately send a letter to report, Shen Xianjian nodded and agreed.
In the end, this marriage was postponed, Hua Ning and Shen Xian Jian were uncomfortable all night, although Shen Xian Jian is always jealous with Ah Yue on weekdays, but he feels sorry for his own son in his heart.
When such a thing happened, he blamed himself in his heart, and regretted that he had listened to Shen Huan's words at the time, he had known that he should have killed that woman this morning, why would it come to this point.
Hua Ning didn't bother to comfort him this time, the two of them were uncomfortable and didn't say a word.
The next day, the two went on the road, still Mu Chan driving the carriage, and Shen Xian and Hua Ning went by car. After all, this time it was to go to Western Qin, which was no more reassuring than in Dajing, so Shen Xian Key transferred the secret guard to follow, lurking in Western Qin, and if there was any danger, he could deal with it in time.
Because the Dajing capital is not far from the Western Qin, it only took one day to reach the border pass, and Mu Chan took out the peer token for the guards to check.
After careful inspection, the guards let the people go.
After entering the realm of Xiqin, it was already dark, and Mu Chan found an inn for the three of them to rest.
Shen Qianjian helped Hua Ning out of the carriage, and then asked the shopkeeper to prepare some food and send it to the house, and then the two went upstairs. Although the two have not yet married, they have long been husband and wife, so they only need an upper room.
Shen Qianjian saw that she was still so depressed, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, so she comforted: "Ah Ning, don't worry, we will definitely be able to bring Ah Yue back." ”
Hua Ning shook her head and said, "I'm just worried that Ah Yue is alone in that place, maybe he hasn't eaten enough, or he hasn't dressed warmly, or he misses us, how uncomfortable he should be." ”
Shen Qianjian had red eyes and hugged her, he didn't worry in his heart, but it was useless to worry about it now, and he still had to cheer up.
After a while, Xiao Er brought the food and said, "Please use it." ”
After saying that, he withdrew.
Shen Xian Jian pulled Hua Ning to the table and said, "Ah Ning, eat something first, and only when you are full will you have the strength to go to Ah Yue." ”
Hua Ning sighed and said, "You can eat, I can't eat it." ”
The man cried out instantly, but he was not unreasonable, but he felt uncomfortable, and said: "Ah Ning, don't be so depressed, the more uncomfortable you are, the more I blame myself in my heart for not taking Ah Yue well." Ah Ning, I beg you, don't be like this, okay? ”
Speaking of the back, Shen Xiankey's voice trembled.
Hua Ning said in a low voice: "It's not your fault. ”
She closed her eyes, opened them slowly for a long time, took a deep breath, and said, "Fiber Key, let's eat." ”
She was uncomfortable, but she couldn't bear it.
The two ate in silence, and after the meal, Shen Qianjian said, "Ah Ning, let's go out for a walk, don't stay in the house and sit all the time." ”
yes, don't sit in the house all the time, cry all the time, feel bad all the time.
Hua Ning understood what he meant, so she nodded lightly.
The two went downstairs, and Xiao Er called out to the two, "The two guest officers are going out for a walk?" ”
Shen Xian said: "Yes, is there anything wrong?" ”
Xiao Er hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There's nothing wrong, it's just that it's the Lantern Festival recently, if the two guest officers go out, they can go all the way to the north, and when they go to the end and turn east, they can see the Lantern Festival, which is very lively." If you like to join in the fun, you might as well go and take a look, buy a lantern and follow the crowd to put the lantern and make a wish. ”
Shen Xian key said: "Thank you for the reminder." ”
When the two of them went out, Shen Xian Jian said in a low voice: "Ah Ning, I want to go to see the Lantern Festival, will you accompany me?" ”
Hua Ning didn't know that he was trying to make her happy, but it was difficult to coax her like this for him. Hua Ning lightly hooked the corners of her lips and said, "Okay." ”
Shen Xian Jian had a trace of joy in his heart, after all, he had never seen the Lantern Festival, although it would be held in the capital in previous years, but he was 'weak and sick' at that time, and he couldn't go out to join in the fun.
In addition, he also made up his mind that he must coax Hua Ning to be happy, otherwise she would have such a sad face all day long, washing her face with tears, so that he would not have the heart to think about how to rescue Ah Yue.
The two of them went all the way north, came to the end, and to the east, sure enough, they saw a burst of lights in the distance, and gradually heard noisy voices in the distance. Shen Qianjian held Hua Ning's hand tightly and went forward, buying all kinds of lanterns everywhere, foxes, tigers, rabbits, butterflies.
Shen Xianjian smiled: "Ah Ning, which one do you like, I'll buy it for you." ”
If it was the original, she would definitely pick it well, but at this time, she really didn't have that thought, and was hesitating whether to refuse Shen Xiankey, when she heard a voice not far away.
"All the fathers and fellow villagers have come to take a look, you can't buy a loss, you can't be fooled, our lanterns are exquisitely made, and the price is fair. Of course, tonight the little old man has prepared a few lantern riddles for everyone, if you guess the lantern riddles correctly, you will not take a penny, and give lanterns. It's just that if you answer wrong, you can buy a lantern from Xiao Lao'er. ”
In just a moment, the small stall was surrounded by a group, and there were many people guessing the lantern riddles, but most of them were there to join in the fun.
Shen Qianjian smiled: "Ah Ning, let's also guess the lantern riddle, okay?" I'll win you any lantern you like, haven't you always been worried about money. ”
Hua Ning looked over there, and it was really hard to bother him, so she had to nod and say, "Okay." ”
The man pulled her into the pile, Hua Ning's heart was sour, she knew that Shen Xiankey had always had some quirks, and he didn't like to contact others, but now he was squeezing around in the pile. All he did was to make her happy, she understood, just don't think about it, otherwise it would really chill Shen Qiankey's kindness.
The two of them were easy to squeeze in, and several of the girls were originally squeezed into anger, but as soon as they turned around and saw such a handsome son as Shen Xiankey, they lowered their heads one by one with shame.
can be regarded as squeezed into the front row, Shen Xianjian hugged Hua Ning and said, "Which one do you like?" ”
Hua Ning smiled and said, "Which peony flower do you want?" ”
When the peddler saw that the big business was coming, he said: "Childe, this peony lantern is the most expensive, and only this one, you need to guess three lantern riddles in a row to get it, but if Childe is wrong, he will have to guess three questions again." If you don't guess a question wrong, you have to buy a lantern to guess again, Childe is clear? ”
Shen Qianjian raised his chin and said arrogantly: "Just let the horse come, if I can't get your peony lantern today, I will never go back." ”
The man whispered in her ear: "Do you really think that I will only change ways to bully you, you don't know too much, and you will find out slowly in the future, you will know how much you have picked up." ”
The more this person talked, the more energetic he became, and Hua Ning couldn't refute him, just smiled.
The peddler was naturally very happy, so he hurriedly said, "Childe is really courageous. ”
A few guests who originally planned to guess the lantern riddle, as soon as they saw such a battle, they didn't care about guessing the lantern riddle, and they all waited to see the show.
Everyone looked at this handsome son, who was good-looking and quite noble, so they just thought that it was the noble son of a family who was here to please the girl.
Shen Qiankey glanced down at Hua Ning, she was also looking at Shen Qiankey, her eyes were full of emotion. It's not that Shen Qiankey guessed the lantern riddle for her, but his hard work really surprised Hua Ning, she has always only said that Shen Qiankey is a fool and has no shape.
The peddler said, "Childe is ready, this side is starting." ”
Shen Xian Jian nodded, and saw the vendor take out a small lantern from behind him, and on the face of the lantern was a picture of a beauty, and on the side of the beauty was a lantern riddle, which read:
Don't get close to the fireworks
The peddler smiled and said, "Childe, please guess a word, and give Childe time to burn half a stick of incense." So saying, he went to get the incense and light it.
Shen Xian key hooked the corners of his lips and said: "The old man doesn't need to bother, I have already guessed it, but is it a 'grace' word?" ”
The little old man was indeed a little surprised, this son was not as vase as he looked, he was still a little smart, he smiled and said: "Childe guessed not bad, guessed well." ”
A few people around also thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case, and the smoke word went to the fire and then added heart.
Everyone applauded, Shen Xian Key was even more proud, Hua Ning also laughed with him, and said, "Xian Key, you are so smart." ”
