Chapter 54: Glamorous Girl
Judging from Shen Xianhe's memory, since Chu Xi became the emperor, it has always been Shen Xianhe who sticks to Chu Xi.
Chu Xi always had a cold face, often showing an impatient expression, this was the first time since Chu Xi became the emperor, Shen Xianhe saw Chu Xi smiling at him and greeting him.
Shen Xianhe only had one feeling at the moment, the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he was uneasy and kind.
"Cousin, there is no misunderstanding between the two of us...... It's just that the bad guys are making a stumbling block, wasn't the palace maid called Bai Lianrong at the beginning trying to stir up the relationship between the two of us? Cousin, I still remember that the Queen Mother later taught that palace maid a good lesson, as for the recent events, it was all a traitorous minister who had bad intentions to provoke, how could my cousin be wrong? It's all traitors who are blinding you. ”
Shen Xianhe swore by it, with a smile on his face, Chu Xi only felt endless sarcasm when he heard it, he smiled stiffly, and wanted to stretch out his hand to hold Shen Xianhe's hand, Shen Xianhe subconsciously avoided it, and he walked directly to the queen mother to be coquettish.
"Grandmother, my cousin was deceived by a traitor this time, you must help your cousin watch it, don't let your cousin be deceived by the traitor again."
Shen Xianhe smiled innocently, there was no sense of blame and anger in his mouth, and the Empress Dowager laughed.
"You ghost girl, you actually teased your cousin, Your Majesty, Xianhe is right, look at what you did this time? You believe any traitor who provokes you, don't you know what kind of family the Shen family is? The Shen family is the founder of the country, and now the good men of the Shen family are fighting in the frontier, opening up territory for the Daqing Dynasty, and they are loyal to you, if there are still people slandering the Shen family in the future, you will believe it so easily today, this is to chill the hearts of the courtiers, understand? ”
The Empress Dowager also understands that she must give an explanation to the Shen family, and now the representative of the Shen family is the eldest princess, and this farce must be dealt with at least before the year.
The knot between the Shen family and the royal family can't go on like this, the most important thing is that the Shen family has taken a step back, and the emperor must make up for it, this is the plan that the empress dowager thinks.
She is old, and now she only hopes that the children around her are safe and sound, and the whole dynasty is smooth.
The turmoil in the secrets, the Empress Dowager thought, as long as she was still a day, she couldn't let these things happen.
Empress Dowager Sun hurriedly laughed beside her.
"Queen Mother, you are right, the emperor is really too imprudent this time, who is the Duke of Dingguo? That is a hero who has been guarding the territory of the frontier for more than 20 years, and the emperor is too young, so the traitorous ministers will believe it after provoking...... Your Majesty, the eldest princess and Xianhe are here today, you apologize to your aunt quickly, you see that your aunt has rushed back from the frontier for several days because of this incident, you really did something wrong this time. ”
Empress Dowager Sun has spoken, and Chu Xi certainly understands that he should make his position clear and re-woo the Shen family.
At least this time, he had to bow his head in front of the eldest princess and Shen Xianhe.
Even though he had made many mental preparations in his heart, as long as he looked at Shen Xianhe's now faintly smiling face, he felt that this woman was looking at him with a kind of ridicule, as if this woman had stepped on his head again.
But he couldn't hold his breath for a while, so he could only be pressed by the Shen family for the rest of his life.
He is the emperor, today the Shen family stands on his head and bullies her, in the future, when he is in power, he has a way to destroy the Shen family.
Chu Xi smiled and walked in front of the eldest princess.
"Auntie, I am too impulsive this time, there is no news from Dingguo Gong until now, I have sent many people to look for it, you can rest assured, the Shen family's merits to the dynasty, I know very well in my heart, I will never be confused in the future."
The eldest princess quickly smiled.
"What did the emperor say? You are the emperor of this dynasty, the entire Daqing Dynasty is yours, this time it is just instigated by a traitorous minister, these years, our Shen family has guarded the territory on the frontier, and there is indeed less communication with the emperor, which is not to blame the emperor for trusting the traitorous minister...... Your Majesty, my aunt has a proposal. ”
Chu Xi had a bad premonition in his heart, however, the words had already come to this point, he was going to compensate the Shen family today, Chu Xi asked with a smile.
"Auntie, if you have any proposals, you can say it, as long as it is suitable, I will definitely adopt it."
"The alien races in the frontier are eyeing each other, in the past few years, there has been a small war every year, there has been a big war every few years, and there are many casualties among soldiers every year, Your Majesty, I feel sad to see those young soldiers die alone on the battlefield, so I have always had a suggestion to tell the emperor, our Shen family wants to fund the families of orphans and widows who have lost their young and middle-aged children on the battlefield, and there are many difficult families who have lost their children to give subsidies, so that these soldiers who defend the country can no longer worry about the rear."
If it was before, the eldest princess would definitely suggest to the emperor to let the emperor do this in his name, which would consolidate the emperor's authority and improve the emperor's reputation.
But after Chu Xi did this, the eldest princess also had to think about the Shen family.
If the reputation of the Shen family is used to do this, of course the emperor will follow up, but everyone in the world will know that it is their Shen family who made the suggestion, and the Shen family will also use money and manpower to help the families of those soldiers, and the reputation of the Shen family will become very good.
In the future, if Chu Xi wants to move the Shen family again, he must be cautious.
Chu Xi's face instantly stiffened, how could he not understand what the eldest princess meant, seeing that the Shen family wanted to gain fame, the Empress Dowager Sun and the Empress Dowager were all here, of course he couldn't refuse this kind of thing that would benefit the country and the people.
However, this time it really gave the Shen family a good reputation in vain.
Chu Xi smiled hypocritically at the eldest princess.
"Auntie, your proposal is very good, I will immediately convene the military department to study your plan, and then let the household department pay these soldiers with a pension, and the families in difficulty must be implemented, so that every soldier can participate in the war without worrying about his wife and children."
When Chu Xi said this, the eldest princess directly led a bunch of people to kneel on the ground.
"The emperor's benevolence is really a blessing for the people!"
Later, a group of people discussed the New Year in the palace of the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager Sun is a delicate person, the atmosphere is smiling and smiling, everyone has a hypocritical face, and a group of people seem to be happy.
At noon, Chu Xi and Empress Dowager Sun accompanied the Empress Dowager, Shen Xianhe and the eldest princess to have lunch.
After that, Chu Xi left and went back to deal with the affairs of the court, and the Empress Dowager Sun stayed in the palace to talk to the eldest princess.
The Empress Dowager was talking to Shen Xianhe about some interesting things next to her, and Shen Xianhe told the Empress Dowager some of the stories she had heard now, especially the stories of fairy fox spirits, and the Empress Dowager was amused by Shen Xianhe.
Everything was normal, and when it was almost evening, the Empress Dowager wanted to leave the eldest princess and Shen Xianhe for dinner, but the eldest princess immediately refused.
"Queen Mother, it's getting late, Xianhe and I will definitely go back, if we don't leave, the palace gate will fall."
The Empress Dowager is naturally reluctant, but the rules are the rules, and the eldest princess and Shen Xianhe can't be left to live in the palace.
"All year round, it's really difficult for the mourning family to see you, after that, you have to often enter the palace to see the mourning family, your child was born wild, and when he grows up, he stays in the frontier for many years, and the little padded jacket of Xianhe accompanies me."
"Grandmother, the queen mother will do what she says, she will definitely come to see you often, you don't have to worry, besides, even if the queen mother forgets this matter, I will take the queen mother to see you in the palace, don't you worry about me?"
After Shen Xianhe finished speaking, the Empress Dowager laughed.
"There is a fairy river, the mourning family is relieved, let's go quickly, lest it get dark and it will be inconvenient to drive the carriage."
After saying goodbye to the Empress Dowager, Shen Xianhe and the eldest princess slowly left the palace in a carriage.
The mother and daughter were talking about things in the carriage, and suddenly, the carriage made a sharp turn, Shen Xianhe and the eldest princess leaned forward rapidly, and Shen Xianhe almost flew out.
Fortunately, the eldest princess grabbed Shen Xianhe with a strong force.
"Mother, is there something going on outside?"
Shen Xianhe was shocked, the eldest princess had already lifted the curtain of the carriage, and she asked the groom.
"What happened?"
"Princess, just now a mother and son suddenly rushed over, and the carriage almost crashed, and the slave could only make a sharp turn so as not to hurt the mother and son."
Shen Xianhe poked his head out curiously at this time.
Only then did she see that there was also a carriage in front of her.
And down the carriage came a beautiful girl dressed in red, and the girl walked to the mother and son who were almost hit with a whip.
With a "snap", the girl whipped the mother's body.
