Chapter 549: Meeting Parents Again
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shilang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly echoed: "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know martial arts, but the minister knows a good place to drink away his sorrows, even if His Majesty occasionally goes out of the palace for a private visit." ”
Shang Kelin originally wanted to go to meet Chen Yetan after seeing His Majesty and visit his father, but seeing that Jin Yantang was so bored, he could only stay with him temporarily.
Jin Yantang's eyebrows were unexpectedly relieved, and without waiting for Shang Kelin and Chen Shilang to speak again, he called someone to come: "Come on, bring me three sets of regular clothes!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The waiter outside respectfully responded and retreated.
Shang Kelin and Chen Shilang glanced at each other, and quietly walked away from Jin Yantang for two steps.
At this time, Cining Palace.
This is probably the most people gathered together in Cining Palace, in the main hall, the Queen Mother sat on the main seat, and the old man sitting on the right with her was Yun Lao Taijun of Yunjiabao, in the past few years, the old Taijun has become more and more healthy, and often has correspondence with the Queen Mother, and there are also Yunjiabao on the banquet list, and the Queen Mother invited Yun Qing and Yun Lao Taijun to live in the palace in advance.
Mrs. Shang and Father Shang sat on the left with Chen Yetan, Mrs. Shang was wearing an apricot color dress, and the clothes were embroidered with the patterns of Dianzhou, simple and pure; Father Shang was wearing a dark blue robe, a pair of old and deep eyes, and the temperament on his body that had been precipitated after wind and frost made him not angry and arrogant.
At this moment, the two were teasing the young Shang Qingyin in their arms, talking to Chen Yetan about some family things, with some smiles on their faces.
The couple also respected the Queen Mother, but they didn't have a good impression of the Queen Mother, and occasionally talked to her, just talking to Mrs. Yun.
Suddenly, Mrs. Shang touched Shang's father and looked in the direction of the entrance of the main hall.
Shang's father followed her gaze to the door, but saw a woman standing quietly in the doorway, hesitating not to come in, half of her body was hidden behind the door frame, revealing only a little lilac tulle dress and the light blue embroidered shoes on her feet.
There is no palace maid in the palace who is so bold and eavesdropping outside the door, and this woman does not look like a person outside the palace, but no one has reported her when she arrives at Cining Palace, which shows that her identity is not ordinary.
The couple looked at each other, then got up and walked out the door.
At this time, the door.
Shang Kelan saw her father and mother walking towards her, she was a little nervous, and she hurriedly lowered her head to tidy up her clothes, and asked Gardenia, "Gardenia, can you see if there is anything wrong with my clothes?" ”
Gardenia snickered, and while arranging her skirt, she couldn't help but say: "Don't worry, you are the most beautiful at any time, this dress and headdress are carefully selected by the slave maid for you, you will never go wrong!" ”
Jin Qilan was wearing a set of white embroidered gold dragon pattern gown, he was standing next to the two of them when he saw his handsome appearance for the first time, and when Gardenia's voice fell, he raised his eyes and looked at Shang Kelan with a smile: "A few days ago, Sister Lan taught me to be braver, why are I so nervous just to see my grandparents today?" You've been hesitating at the door for half an hour. ”
"I ......"
Shang Kelan blushed a little when she was ridiculed by Jin Yantang, and subconsciously walked inside, but it happened that Mrs. Shang and Shang's father came out to investigate, and the two sides met head-on.
The autumn breeze was blowing softly, and the hair in Shang Kelan's ears fluttered with the wind, just like her heart was flustered and excited now.
"Daddy...... Mother......"
Familiar faces appeared in front of her after many years, Shang Kelan's lips moved, making a sound as thin as a mosquito, and after coming back to her senses, she realized that she was out of shape, and hurriedly lowered her head and curtsied to the two, and said in a calm voice: "Minnu - Minnu Lanke, I have seen Mrs. Shang and Lord Shang." ”
Gardenia also saluted the two respectfully: "The slave has seen the lady, master." ”113
After Jin Qilan greeted them, he stepped forward to hold the hands of the two of them, and called out obediently: "Grandpa, grandma, this is Sister Lan, you haven't come to see Qilan for a long time, let's go in and talk." ”
After that, Jin Qilan walked in with everyone like a little adult.
Mrs. Shang and Shang's father withdrew their gaze from Shang Kelan, and the two looked at each other, and they all had some doubts: Why did this Lan girl give them a familiar feeling?
Especially Father Shang, when he withdrew his gaze from Shang Kelan, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more, and only sat back in place with Mrs. Shang.
As soon as Shang Kelan entered the main hall, the atmosphere became lively.
She greeted these acquaintances one by one, but she had to pretend to meet everyone for the first time.
The Queen Mother took Shang Kelan to chat with everyone, and Jin Qilan and Shang Qingyin played beside them, the atmosphere was peaceful and happy, showing a sense of warmth.
At noon, after everyone had lunch one by one, Yun Qing accompanied Yun Lao Taijun and the Queen Mother for a walk, Chen Yetan took Shang Qingyin back to the mansion first, and Mrs. Shang and Shang Kelan's father walked to the Qin Yan Hall under the send-off of Jin Qilan and Shang Kelan.
On the way back to the Qin Yan Palace, passing through the Imperial Garden, Mrs. Shang led Jin Qilan to walk in front, an old man and a young man were talking cordially, Gardenia followed behind them, and Shang's father and Shang Kelan were left behind.
There was the fragrance of flowers in the air, and the family walked like this, Shang Kelan's somewhat flustered heart gradually settled down, with a gentle smile on her lips.
"When Miss Lan and my husband and wife first met, why did they call us two fathers?"
Suddenly, a low, old voice came from beside her.
Shang Kelan's footsteps froze and stopped.
Father Shang glanced at her lightly and stopped.
I didn't expect that the whispering words at that time were listened to by my father, what should I do?
A look of struggle flashed in Shang Kelan's eyes, and she subconsciously looked away, did not look at him, and only tried to be as calm as possible: "Lord Shang's appearance is somewhat similar to the father of the courtier. ”
Shang's father's eyes narrowed slightly, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and after looking at her for a while, he looked away and said something that made Shang Kelan's heart tremble: "The old man almost mistook Miss Lan for my deceased daughter." ”
Subconsciously, Shang Kelan couldn't help but look back at him.
But seeing a smile on Shang's father's majestic face, he seemed to be stunned and unwilling: "It's a pity, because the old man was incompetent, she died, and died in the hands of the first emperor." ”
The guilt in his words pierced Shang Kelan's heart like a sharp needle.
Shang Kelan came back to her senses and was about to speak, but Father Shang patted her on the shoulder, smiled at her, and said meaninglessly: "But after seeing Miss Lan, the old man doesn't care about these things in his heart, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rarely gets along with Miss Lan, there must be a reason for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Shang Kelan's eyes were slightly stunned: What does my father mean by this? Did he know something?
Shang Kelan was a little unsure, but also a little puzzled.
But after Shang's father said this, he did not continue the topic, but instead told Shang Kelan about his and his wife's life in Yunnan, as if he were telling their story.
Gradually, Shang Kelan put this doubt behind her, and talked to Shang's father, and the two walked side by side all the way, as if returning to the days when she lived in Zuo Xiangfu.
