The Princes (3)
Chapter 299: Those Princes (3)
Several children walked into the Qiongfang Pavilion together, it turned out that Concubine Rou had already arrived, but she didn't seem very happy to see her, I don't know if it was because the emperor didn't come with her.
Ah Wan sat next to her mother and asked, "What about my sister?" "I looked around for my sister's figure, but I didn't find it, but I touched several eyes, and those eyes were curious, indifferent, and dangerous.
Mrs. Shen said: "She wants to avoid it." ”
Ah Wan just wanted to ask why she avoided it, but when she saw that King Yu was also there, she immediately shut up. They were married, but they were not married, so they could not see each other before the marriage. I couldn't help muttering trouble, so I sat still obediently.
It didn't take long for the emperor to come with the queen, and Ah Wan caught a glimpse of her aunt's face that was even more ugly. Secretly shook his head, and waited until the emperor and queen sat down, and then everyone got up and sat on the corresponding seats.
The emperor is a very gentle middle-aged man, he must have been a beautiful man when he was young, otherwise why would his sons be so good? Among them, the most handsome is the twelve princes, but I heard that the six princes who have traveled abroad are also the dragons among men, although he is not often in the court, but those who have seen him are all impressed and amazed. It's a pity that Ah Wan couldn't see it this time.
Among the princes present, the prince was a guest, the eldest prince was demoted to a concubine for framing the prince, the third prince was assigned to Shudi, the fourth prince Yuwang was about to get married, and the eighth prince and so on are still young. But look at it again, among them, the prince's sister married the eldest son of the Shen family, King Yu married the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and the eighth prince was the nephew of the Shen family. The Shen family seems to be about to have a relationship with all the prominent connections in the harem. Apart from...... Ah Wan looked at the twelve princes, except for Concubine Hui, the twelve princes born to Concubine Hui and the ten princes raised by Concubine Hui had nothing to do with the Shen family. But what about now, and what will happen in the future?
The thoughts were disturbed, it turned out that the banquet had begun, the emperor raised a glass to congratulate Concubine Rou, and everyone below also raised a glass. Ah Wan was too young to drink, but she also symbolically raised the glass, and the cup was fruit wine, sweet and sour, much better than wine.
All kinds of songs and dances began to be performed on the stage, and everyone's eyes were gathered there, and Ah Wan was very happy to see it, because there had never been such a performance at home, and her eyes were staring at those kabuki motionlessly, and she suddenly moved away, only to find that her cousin sitting opposite was looking at her. She was nothing, and smiled generously at her cousin. But the eighth prince lowered his head, and his face turned red again. Ah Wan thought it was funny, why did this cousin love to blush so much? Thinking like this, my smile became colorful again.
The eyes that shot from different directions touched such a smile, and all of them changed, and the prince was stunned, and the princess's face was condensed, and she snorted. King Yu's eyes were deep, and he still couldn't see any expression, and the twelve princes had a strange face, and a smile appeared on his lips, but he was very sarcastic.
For these glances, Ah Wan didn't notice it, and still watched the performance with relish.
Until the end of the performance, she was in high spirits, ate a lot of food, drank a lot of fruit wine, and was full of mouth and eyes. And she also found that the palace is not as terrible as she imagined, although there are rules, but as the prime minister's daughter, she is not so strict, not to mention that anyone will turn a blind eye to such a girl. Therefore, she decided that if she had the opportunity in the future, she would often come to the palace to play.
When the feast was over, Ah Wan went back with her mother, and by this time the moon was hanging high, and it was already night, and the dormant frogs and gnats hid in the pond and somewhere in the corner of the wall, screaming vigorously. The late summer night, with a hint of cool breeze, finally blew away the heat of the whole day,
Ah Wan yawned, rubbed her eyes, and barely managed to walk to the palace gate. But I didn't expect the eighth prince to be here with the tenth prince and the twelfth prince. Ah Wan was already sleepy and speechless, so Mrs. Shen smiled and said to them, "Princes, please stay." ”
The eighth prince looked at Ah Wan reluctantly, but it was only a few hours of hard work, and he was a little reluctant to make such a difference.
"Cousin, I often come to the palace to play in the future, okay?"
Ah Wan nodded and said, "Okay." She yawned again.
The eighth prince smiled and said, "Then, my aunt and cousin will please get in the car." ”
Mrs. Shen smiled at him, pulled Ah Wan into the car, and Ah Wan got into the car, and did not forget to poke her little head out of the curtain, waved at them, and then nestled in her mother's arms, and soon fell asleep.
Watching the carriage go away, the eighth prince still didn't move. The Ten Princes muttered, "Brother Starling, are you stunned?" What's there to see when you're all gone? ”
The Twelfth Prince smiled lightly and said, "Starling, this cousin of yours is very interesting. ”
"Huh?" The eighth prince was stunned, not understanding the meaning of the twelve princes' words, but seeing the twelve princes smiling strangely, he opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
"Alright, let's go back! It's getting dark, and I haven't finished my homework yet! The Ten Princes shouted.
The Twelve Princes glanced at him and said, "Don't expect to learn from me. ”
The tenth prince said with a sneer: "Hehe, twelfth brother...... Hey, hey, what are you running to, brother twelve! Turning to look at the eighth prince, the smile became even more weird, "Starling......"
The eighth prince said: "Don't look for me, last time I lent it to you, you even copied your name, and I was punished by the Taifu." "Shake your hand and leave, ignore it.
The Ten Princes cried and shouted with a sad face: "Don't run! Lend me a look, just take a look! ”
When Ah Wan returned home, she was already asleep in the carriage, and her eldest brother Shen Huan happened to come out to greet her, and when she saw Ah Wan sleeping soundly, she immediately smiled and said, "I'm tired so soon." So saying, he lifted her out of the carriage and put her back on the bed in her room. Mrs. Shen came over to help her undress, covered the quilt and looked at her twice before going out.
All the way to Shen Xiang's study, Shen Huan and Shen Yuan were there, Shen Xiang saw that his wife was coming, so he said: "Today, the emperor told me that if you want Lan'er to enter the palace for training, you will put it in the East Palace." ”
The prince of the East Palace has always disagreed with Shen Xiangzheng, and the emperor does not know what he means by this move?
"The king's decision, as a subordinate, you can't speculate at will, since the saint has decided so, we will do it." Shen Xiang said.
Shen Yuan said with a smile: "It's great that my younger brother can enter the East Palace to practice, but after two or three years, he will have a bright future." ”
Shen Xiangfu did not answer, Mrs. Shen said: "Take Ah Wan into the palace today, this child seems to like the palace very much, and several princes are also ......."
Before she finished her words, the faces of several people changed, and Shen Xiang said in a deep voice: "It's good to let her walk around the palace more, and ...... in the future." Just remember, don't let her get into trouble. ”
Mrs. Shen said: "This is natural, this child is well-behaved and sensible, although he doesn't look very calm, but he is extremely smart." ”
Shen Xiang was silent, for a long time, waved his hand to let everyone disperse, he sat alone in the chair, and sighed slowly.
