Sixty-eight. Dinner

Shen Yue was very surprised when she heard that her fiancΓ© was Shu Yun, she originally thought that Shu Yun's cold-faced wood would not find a daughter-in-law, but who would have expected that there was really a delicate daughter-in-law waiting for him at home.

Listening to Shen Yue's jokes, Liu Yiyi blushed with shame, but her hands didn't stop, and soon, she combed Shen Yue into a bun, Shen Yu looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and only felt that she didn't feel like herself anymore, her hair was usually pulled up at will, and she didn't comb any style, now at first glance, it really looks good.

"Madame is so beautiful." Liu Yiyi praised with a smile.

Shen Yue smiled embarrassedly.

After combing her hair and changing her clothes, Liu Yiyi put on a light layer of makeup on Shen Yue, the whole person looked more mature and charming than before, she looked young without powder, but now she looks like a ripe apple, which can be picked.

Therefore, when Muyang saw her for the first time, his eyes became hot.

Shen Yue was a little embarrassed, and Mu Yang's eyes followed her until she walked to his side.

"Is it pretty? Checkmate? "Liu Yiyi grew up in the General's Mansion since she was a child, so she has a good relationship with Muyang.

"Not bad." Mu Yang's gaze did not leave Shen Yue, and his voice was full of laughter.

"Let's go, the sedan chair is waiting outside."

Entering the palace for a banquet, naturally you can't ride a horse anymore, so a sedan chair is arranged outside, the sedan chair is quite big, Shen Yue and Muyang will not be too crowded to sit in, Shen Yue is the first time to make a sedan chair, the sedan chair man is very stable, not much shaking, Shen Yue does not feel uncomfortable, but in comparison, he still prefers to ride a horse or take a carriage.

"The emperor is a very good person and treats people kindly, so you don't have to worry too much, you can do whatever you need to do in normal times, the emperor will not embarrass you, and besides, I am here." Mu Yang said warmly.

Shen Yue nodded, she was not so nervous when she was about to enter the palace, she just listened to Muyang simply tell her some etiquette.

It didn't take long for them to reach the gate of the palace, where they had to start walking.

After Shen Yue got off the sedan chair, he saw the majestic palace in front of him, the outside was a thick palace wall, red and green tiles, and the pavement made of marble under his feet, extending inward, the palace built inside was majestic and tall, some were hidden among the trees, and some appeared in front of him.

After the older father-in-law at the door saluted Mu Yang, he looked at Shen Yue very kindly and said, "This is Miss Shen, this looks like a real water spirit, no wonder General Mu never forgets it." ”

"My father-in-law has won the prize." Shen Yue returned the salute lightly according to what Muyang said, neither flattering nor alienated, which made the father-in-law nod secretly, he was a courtesy.

Subsequently, a younger little eunuch led the way for them, and this time the emperor's banquet was held in the Qianqiu Palace, and it seemed that the officials in the capital would come to attend.

"Shen Yue!" A surprised voice sounded behind Shen Yue.

Shen Yue turned around and saw Qu Ling coming over in a hurry.

She couldn't help but smile, it was great to meet acquaintances here.

"Shen Yue, you can be counted as back, you don't know, Yun Sheng has a big temper." Qu Ling whispered.

Shen Yue supported his forehead, Yun Sheng was stubborn, and it was not easy to coax him to lose his temper, so let's think of a way later.

"In today's banquet, you have to be careful, there are a few young ladies who have always been happy with Brother Mu before." Qu Ling whispered in her ear.

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows: "How many more?" ”

Qu Ling looked at Mu Yang's dark gaze, and felt that she had said the wrong thing, so she stuck out her tongue: "Also... There aren't several. ”

Muyang squeezed Shen Yue's hand: "Don't listen to her nonsense, how can anyone please me." ”

Shen Yue showed a look that seemed to be smiling, Mu Yang felt that his head was big, maybe he would have to work hard for a while to coax his daughter-in-law.

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the Qianqiu Palace, where the seats were separated from men and women, so Muyang had to be separated from Shen Yue, and Qu Ling happily pulled Shen Yue to the women's seat, where there were ministers and the prince's wife and daughters and concubines in the palace, and the leader was naturally the queen.

Shen Yue secretly glanced at the queen, in her thirties, she was a very gentle person, she always had a shallow smile on her face, and she had a unique temperament on her body, which made people want to be close but also intimidating.

There are also many official ladies and ladies sitting around her, Yingying Yanyan, so lively.

And sitting next to Qu Ling is a beautiful woman who still has charm, it is Qu Ling's mother, Mrs. Qu, she expressed her gratitude to Shen Yue for saving Qu Ling last time, Shen Yue was busy and it was okay, Mrs. Qu's eyes were kind, and the gratitude in her eyes was also very sincere, and she also invited Shen Yue to go to her house to play another day, Qu Ling heard it, and hurriedly took Shen Yue's hand to match, and Shen Yue had to agree.

Shen Yue glanced at Mu Yang from a distance, in the crowd, she still saw Mu Yang's location at a glance, the eyes of the two met in mid-air, and Shen Yue showed a shallow smile.

Soon, someone reported that the emperor was coming, everyone left the table and knelt down to greet him, Shen Yue could only see a pair of bright yellow boots, according to Muyang, the emperor is already in his forties this year, and Shen Yue saw that his pace was still steady.

"Flat." The emperor's voice was still very calm, and when he got up, Shen Yue peeked at it, the emperor was not as majestic as the legend, but a handsome middle-aged uncle, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and an approachable appearance, it seemed that Muyang really didn't deceive her.

Although the emperor rewarded Muyang and praised him verbally, the emperor was in a good mood, this time the Huns were defeated, and the letter of surrender had been handed over, and the problem of so many years could be regarded as being solved.

"Speaking of which, who is Shen Yue?" The emperor changed his words and suddenly mentioned Shen Yue's name.

Shen Yue was slightly shocked, and then under Qu Ling's reminder, he quickly left his seat, walked to the main hall and knelt down: "Shen Yue, the people's daughter, see the emperor." ”

"Well, get up quickly and let me see this heroine." The emperor said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shen Yue stood up, and then raised his head generously, but his eyes couldn't meet the emperor's gaze.

"Well, yes, it's a good look, last time, I wanted to see you when you offered dry food, but I didn't think the timing was unlucky, and then my father-in-law next to me went to you to send rewards, and when I came back, every sentence was a compliment to you, and I brought back the health tea you pondered, after I drank it, I felt that my spirit was much better, and this time I also had your credit for destroying the Huns, and I went thousands of miles to find Muyang, and also cooked for the soldiers, I heard that after eating your food, they didn't feel tired?" The emperor said slowly.

"The emperor has an overreputation, and what the people's girls do is just some common food, and the soldiers haven't eaten a mouthful of hot things for too long, so they miss it a little." Shen Yue replied respectfully.

Mu Yang saw that Shen Yue was generous and could cope with it easily, and his heart was half relieved.

The emperor smiled: "At a young age, it's not a proud one, yes, what reward do you want?" ”

"The emperor has already rewarded the people's daughters, why should he reward them?" Shen Yue said.

"You kid, how can you reward too much, the emperor asks you, you should think about it." It was the queen who said this, and the seemingly intimate tone was actually a reminder to her that the emperor's grace could not be refused.

"If the emperor really wants to reward, he will reward General Mu to the people's daughter as a husband." Shen Yue didn't pestle, and said generously.

The hall was silent for a while, and the emperor's laughter sounded: "Hahaha, it's an interesting girl, today I asked General Mu what reward he wanted, and General Mu said the same, it seems that you are in love, then, I will give you a marriage." ”

When Muyang heard this, he also walked to the middle from that side, knelt beside Shen Yue, and listened to the emperor's decree.

The emperor's decree came down soon, and the wedding was scheduled for a month later, Shen Yue and Mu Yang looked at each other and smiled after thanking the emperor for his grace.

Then they returned to their seats, and the feast began.

"Shen Yue, you are so powerful, you dare to say that in front of the emperor." Qu Ling admired Shen Yue.

"There's no way, I find that I love Muyang more and more, and I always feel uncomfortable not marrying him." Shen Yue pretended to be serious, and then the two laughed.

"It's shameless." A yin and yang strange voice destroyed the current harmony, Shen Yue looked up, it was a woman in a green shirt, her appearance was delicate and lovely, but at this time, the jealousy on her face ruined her beauty.

"Who do you say is shameless! I think you're shameless! Qu Ling had a hot temper and immediately scolded back.

Qu Ling is relatively open in this circle, and has many friends, this woman is the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, and Qu Ling is on par, but she is not as wide as Qu Ling.

"You... What nonsense are you talking about! The woman said something out of jealousy, but now her face turned red when she was said.

"Am I talking nonsense? You are obviously happy with Brother Mu, and you are jealous, and you are sour there, so what, you can't let Brother Mu look at you more. Qu Ling said disdainfully.

"You... Don't you also admire General Mu, and what cool words are you saying at this time. The woman seemed to have deliberately said it to Shen Yue.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ben doesn't admire General Mu now, now General Mu is my eldest brother, and Shen Yue is my sister-in-law, so I naturally want to protect them." Qu Ling said.

Shen Yue pulled Qu Ling's sleeve and told her to stop talking, she didn't want to cause trouble as soon as she entered the palace.

Qu Ling reluctantly shut up, but the woman lowered her head, looking like she had been greatly wronged, the person sitting next to her immediately comforted her, she also quickly went with the flow, cheered up again, and after a while, she laughed and laughed continuously, Shen Yue was also glared at by the woman sitting next to her, this glance was simply inexplicable, but Shen Yue couldn't help but admire, this person's acting skills are very good.

At this time, many people began to toast Shen Yue, congratulations to her, Shen Yue dealt with them one by one, nothing went wrong, on the face, everyone was very happy, and after a circle, Shen Yue breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that socializing was so tiring, different people said different things.

"Shen Yue, eat something quickly, although this wine is not intoxicating, but you will get dizzy if you drink too much." Qu Ling reminded in a whisper on the side.

Shen Yue nodded, and ate several chopsticks dishes, but felt that the taste in the palace was nothing more than that, and it was not as delicious as what she cooked.

The man's side was even more lively, Shen Yue saw that many people went to toast Muyang, and Muyang also drank a lot of wine, the wine over there was not like the wine on Shen Yue's side, it was spirits.

After the banquet was dispersed, Shen Yue said goodbye to Qu Ling, and then returned to the general's mansion with Mu Yang in the carriage he came.

Muyang's body was full of wine, and it could be seen that he had drunk a lot, but the corners of his mouth were always upturned, and he was in a good mood, pinching Shen Yue's hand all the way.
