Winter solstice. Omaj.

The emperor accepted foreign gifts at Yingtianmen, returned to the Taiji Hall and then accepted the congratulations of the ministers, and finally arrived at the Linde Hall and feasted the ministers.

Emperor Yongxi liked to be pompous and lively, so officials above the seventh rank in Beijing were invited to participate in the palace banquet. Naturally, all the women were driven to the side hall.

Queen Pan sat at the top, smiling and raising wine to invite everyone to eat and drink.

Shen Shen, who was deliberately ordered to sit on her right hand, couldn't hide if he wanted to, so he had to follow her to accept everyone's attention.

Especially, among these people, there are also the wives of the Han family. Actually, there are very few people from the Han family tonight. The Duchess of Guo reported illness, Han Tang's wife reported illness, and Han Wu's wife reported illness. is a serious person with a surname and a surname, but it is Han Zhen's concubine: Yixing County Jun.

And this county gentleman openly brought Yu Juan overtly, and gave a sentence to block the mouth of the female official Shangyi: I don't even have a person to serve, I just want to bring our Sanlang daughter-in-law to see the world, so I don't have to ask for the grace of the queen mother and the queen mother seriously, right?

Because she knew that this Yu Juan was the "cousin" of the lord of Lizhu County, in order to give Shen Shen face, the female official Shangyi endured her anger and let her go with one eye open and one eye closed.

So, Shen Shen was on top now, staring fiercely at the four eyes of Yixing County Jun and Yu Xuan, with whispers.

"The main hall is full of people today, have you seen them all?" Queen Pan deliberately became more and more affectionate with her in front of everyone.

Recalling the scene of the group of gray beards fluttering just now, Shen Shen said: "See." Luo Xiang and Cao Xiang have seen it in the Pear Blossom Palace, and the other four Shangshu are all seeing each other for the first time. However, I looked at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and didn't seem to be very energetic. ”

Empress Pan's eyes glanced at the monarch of Yixing County, and said in a low voice: "It's strange that he can have spirit." More than a dozen corpses were left on the Han family's side, and there was a fire that the whole capital saw, but it was a thief who made trouble, and he accidentally walked on the water.

His Majesty was annoyed and forced the Criminal Department to investigate. But where is General Han easy to mess with? I heard that at this point, Jing Zhaoyin and the people from the Criminal Department have not been able to enter the gate of the Han family! ”

Shen Shen bent the corners of his mouth, shook his head and said, "The splint of the Criminal Department is determined. ”

The two sisters-in-law whispered above, and Princess Ning, who was sitting below, looked left and right, and said strangely: "Why don't you see the Queen Mother?" She has always loved to be lively, and she will come out in previous years, and then she called the Lotus King to eat here together! ”

Someone joked and said: "What the princess said, do you care about the Queen Mother, or do you care about the Lotus King?" ”

There was also a careful one, and asked again: "Speaking of which, why haven't you seen His Royal Highness the Prince?" Just now, the prince should have toasted His Majesty and the Queen Mother! ”

Queen Pan opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she was snatched away by Shen Shen, and replied with a smile:

"The first snow of this winter is so heavy. The Queen Mother was a little cold, so she didn't bother to move. So I deliberately left the prince to accompany her old man for the holiday. ”

Everyone sighed and looked at each other privately, exchanging puzzled glances.

Empress Pan also frowned slightly to look at Shen Shen, her eyes showing doubts.

"The queen mother said that under the big festival, it is better to say that her old man is sick than to say that the prince is sick." Shen Shen turned sideways and whispered softly in Queen Pan's ear.

Queen Pan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she immediately lowered her head.

Shen Shen couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at her, so he had to continue to explain deeply: "She is an old man, and it is common for her to have a sickness. If there are small problems, there will be no major problems, which is not a bad thing.

"But if the prince's news spreads, it will shake the country's foundation. Once the rumors spread, it will be difficult to control what the absurdity will become. Under the big festival, you can't make it. ”

Therefore, this is naturally Empress Dowager Shen's love for her grandson, but at the same time, it is also a major event in the court, and it must be so.

Queen Pan came to her senses, with a hint of embarrassment on her face, she simply took the wine and raised it to Shen Shen, and said softly: "The queen mother loves to be lively, you are so happy to see the excitement, go back to learn it to her old man, and let her old man like it." ”

"Isn't that the reason? Otherwise, how could you let me out? I've long been pressed to the Pear Blossom Hall to beat her legs and tell jokes! Shen Shen smiled at her words.

Who knew that Princess Ning refused to believe this, and took advantage of the opportunity to toast Queen Pan, so she stepped forward and asked them quietly: "I heard that Zhong Lang entered the palace the day before yesterday and stayed in the Pear Blossom Hall at night." You tell me the truth, but the Queen Mother is not well? ”

"Aunt Ning can't pretend to be confused?" Shen Shen smiled and put a whole glass of wine on Princess Ning's mouth.

Queen Pan had no choice but to smile and remain silent.

Princess Ning understood, returned to her seat, and looked a little worried. Seeing this, Princess Feng hurriedly went over to explain to her: "Min Lang went to see Zhong Lang yesterday and asked, the Queen Mother is fine." Just lie down for a few days. Don't worry. ”

Only then did Princess Ning let out a sigh of relief.

In this way, Empress Dowager Shen's words of being slightly ill still spread after all.

Queen Pan watched the wives below quietly turn their heads and ears, and she was a little anxious.

Shen Shen had to lean over again and said softly: "The queen mother said that if someone guesses that she is sick, then acquiesce." She doesn't care. ”

"In the middle of the world, how many people have suffered a secret loss in the hands of her old man? Under the big festival, I really don't want someone to curse her old man because of this......" Queen Pan bit her lip.

Shen Shen said softly: "The queen mother said that she is a military general, and she is very lonely, so she is not afraid of people cursing her." On the contrary, the prince, the children should not let people curse him. ”

These words went straight into Queen Pan's heart, and she immediately burst into tears.

"Imperial sister-in-law, why did you come again when you shouldn't be soft-hearted? Do you really want people to guess that the queen mother is dying? ”

Shen Shenqiang resisted the urge to hold his forehead and sigh, and whispered to Queen Pan.

At this moment, Princess Feng also got up to toast, showed a worried face, and asked, "I heard that the Queen Mother doesn't matter, but is it true?" ”

Shen Shen immediately changed his expression, pulled her to the other side with a smile, and whispered close to her ear: "Our old queen mother, nothing happened!" ”

As he spoke, his gaze slipped down, and his voice became softer: "It's to select a newcomer for the emperor!" Do it at the beginning of spring! Her old man said, no one will see this winter, only in the pear blossom hall to eat and sleep, recuperate, next spring, good to pick a few fresh and tender little ladies into the palace, to give her old man a lot of grandchildren! ”

He gently pinched Princess Feng's wrist again, "Also, in it, choose someone for Brother Lian Wang ......"

Pick for the Emperor!?

That must be the best and best little ladies in the world will enter Beijing!

If he could choose the girls there to be his wife......

Princess Feng was surprised to see her seven feelings, and hurriedly pulled Shen Shen's hand and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

said that he was about to go to see Queen Pan, but was pulled by Shen Shen and laughed quietly: "Where did you ask my sister-in-law about this?" She wouldn't be happy......"

Princess Feng nodded again and again, and gave the queen mother a birthday according to the ceremony, returned to her seat, and smiled.

In a moment, the good news spread, and everyone's faces showed joy.

Shen Shen finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Far away, Yixing County Jun looked at it in his eyes and thought thoughtfully.

And Yu Xuan's eyes staring at Shen Shen were full of viciousness.
