Chapter 603: Unhappy

The Shen family's wax moon this year was deserted.

It should have been the best time for relatives and friends to exchange New Year's gifts, but some of the things that the Shen family had recently put on the table made the whole capital look at the word Shen Mansion on the two gates of Chongxian Fang, and they didn't dare to move forward.

Zhu Yan was very angry, and he had to pull the willow fence to the door, but was stopped by Ouyang Xianmei: "I don't care about that." ”

Liu Li also persuaded her in private: "Even my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not going, what is it if you go?" Wait and see. Not to avoid suspicion, but to see clearly. ”

Zhu Yan refused to listen, and Liu Li threatened her: "Then I'll go and tell my mother that my grandmother is not in good health this year, and I will go to the temple to fast for a few days." ”

Zhu Yan was stunned for a second, blushing and refusing to let her husband go out. In the end, I still didn't go to Shen's house.

Shen Hao was naturally happy and quiet, and poured her money intensively.

Her movements are small, and she has done a good job of secrecy, except for Zhu Yan and other three friends, no one outside knows about it, including Shen Xinming.

……

……

The battle in the northwest was in full swing, and Qin's whereabouts were still unknown.

However, everyone seems to have gotten used to the haunting of His Royal Highness the Winged King, and no one has made a fuss about his unknown whereabouts and guessed life and death.

The biggest news at the end of this year was that Su Guogong fell ill.

The old prince has been fighting for most of his life, and he is getting older, and there are many injuries. At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, but gradually they began to have a high fever all day long, their body was sore, and they were almost unconscious. Only then did I hurriedly ask the doctor to take a look.

Imperial Physician Mei immediately scolded the generals who took care of the house: "My husband is a carbuncle, he can't eat wine, and he can't see seafood." Do you still put fish and shrimp on him, and look for death? ”

The generals were embarrassed.

Su Guogong has loved to drink and eat shrimp all his life, and without these two things, it would be better to kill him.

Doctor Mei left the medicine with a straight face, and put down the words: "How to act so that the old man can live in peace for this year, you can do it yourself!" ”

……

……

Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet.

Emperor Jianming invited all the relatives and nobles who could come, and then asked the queen mother if she wanted to come to the lively scene.

In previous years, the Queen Mother refused to come out, for fear that the unclear Empress Shao would steal the limelight and lose the emperor's face. But this year, the Queen Mother thought about it and nodded in agreement. also asked Mama Lin to turn out the Xuanxi Fengfei Nine Heavens Imperial Dress that she didn't easily wear, dressed up in rich decorations, and went gracefully.

The Lin De Hall is already big enough, but there are too many people called by Emperor Jianming this year, and it is still crowded.

The Queen Mother sat on it with a smile on her face: "My Great Qin is full of talents, and the mourning family is happy when they see it." ”

looked at Shen Xinyan, who was sitting on the side, and said in surprise: "Shen Qing is also there?" ”

Shen Xinyan had obviously lost a lot of weight, his face was haggard, and his eyes were still bright. He sat in the third position of Wenchen's class, the head was Song Wangzhi, who was just talking and laughing with Zhu Xiang, and the next was Wang Jihua, the secretary of the criminal department with a stiff expression.

Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Shen Xinyan stood up and replied with a smile: "Yes." ”

Aren't you locked up in the Jixian Palace? At this time, it was released again......

The Queen Mother looked around, but she didn't see Luo and Shen Hao, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry in her heart, Ci Wei smiled, beckoned him: "You come and talk." I am deaf now, you are far away, I cannot hear. ”

Shen Xinyan hurriedly walked to His Majesty Dan, hesitated for a moment, but saw that the Queen Mother was still smiling and nodding, so he had to take his robe and go up the royal steps, standing next to the Queen Mother's seat to answer.

"You're alone? Isn't there one or two that can be used in the household department to sneak in and help you? The Queen Mother asked in a low voice, but she didn't go around half a circle.

Shen Xinyan paused slightly, and bowed down with a smile: "Yes." Chief Green has a few useful subordinates, and there are also a few capable cultivators in the Jixian Palace, who can help. ”

The Queen Mother sighed lightly and glanced at him: "Thank you for your hard work." As he spoke, he raised his chin and motioned for Mama Lin to bring a glass of wine to Shen Xinyan.

Shen Xinyan lowered his head, stretched out his hands and took the wine, and drank it all.

"I've wronged you."

The Queen Mother looked at the scholars of Jixian Hall who were obviously red in her eyes, and she was very upset. Turning his head to look at Emperor Jianming, he said angrily: "If you celebrate the New Year, you won't let people go home to take a look!" ”

Emperor Jianming smiled and looked at his mother to appease his courtiers for himself, laughed when he heard this, and shook his head: "There is no way, I can't leave him." ”

Empress Shao sat on the other side, trying her best to listen, but she still couldn't hear it, so she simply interjected with a smile: "What are Your Majesty and the Queen Mother talking about?" Dare to be Lord Shen's family affair? If you want me to say, it's all nonsense, what do they do? The northwest is so busy, it's better to hurry up and let Lord Shen go back to the household department on a business. ”

Emperor Jianming glanced at her and didn't say anything.

For the first time in her life, the Queen Mother agreed with the queen's statement: "What the queen said is very true. The emperor was deceived. ”

Measure?!

It's easy to knock Shen Xinyan to the dust, do you still let him take advantage of the great battle in the northwest to soar again?

Zhu Xiang gritted his teeth and scolded the reckless fool of the queen in his heart, and hurriedly smiled and raised his glass to interrupt: "This winter is snowy, and the coming day is a good year." May my Great Qin wind and rain be smooth, and the country and the people will be safe. The minister is the birthday of His Majesty. ”

Emperor Jianming smiled and drank it all.

But he didn't say a word about letting Shen Xinyan go home.

Shen Xinyan silently returned to his seat, his face sad.

One person is in the corner, and the seat is not happy.

The drinking and laughter of the people in the hall gradually quieted down a little.

Shen Xinyan simply got up and shook Emperor Jianming to the ground: "The minister suddenly remembered that there was a text omission, and he was afraid that he would forget it, so he wanted to resign and return to Jixian Palace." ”

Seeing Emperor Jianming nodding disapprovingly, and clinking glasses with the queen with a smile, Shen Xinyan turned around quietly, and his big sleeves fluttered away.

The Queen Mother sat on it, obviously unhappy, her eyes wandered around the table, and suddenly fixed on Qin Yitong, sneered, and asked: "I heard that Qin Shilang's daughter went to her ancestral home to get married, and the mourning family may drink a cup of happy wine?" ”

Qin Yitong's hand holding the cup shook, and a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying squeezed out: "The little girl contracted a vicious disease when she went back, and now she is still being treated......"

The Queen Mother snorted and said lightly: "The New Year's Eve is ...... bad luck."

In a blink of an eye, he saw Mu Yue again, and asked straight again: "Mu Changshi's daughter heard that she is now a widow for Erlang?" Erlang's daughter-in-law is about to give birth, but now she is okay? ”

Empress Shao's face stiffened, and she replied with a smile: "It's good, it's good." Can I eat and sleep now......"

The Queen Mother frowned: "You can't eat too much, it's too plump and it's not good to produce." Turning to Mu Yue, "Let your daughter walk with the princess every day, at least for half an hour." ”

Mu Yue gritted his teeth and bowed his head in agreement.

The Queen Mother's gaze slipped away again, and when she saw Shao Gui, the Duke of Tai Guo, she snorted, turned her eyes, and saw Shao Shunying again, her brows were slightly relaxed, and she asked with a smile: "Shunying, where is your daughter-in-law?" It's a good day today, why didn't you bring her with you? ”

Shao Shunyingyu's face was slightly red: "Ru Hui has a body, I don't really want her to go out......"

As soon as these words came out, Empress Shao and the eldest princess Zhaonan, who was sitting at the top of the clan, changed their faces at the same time. 2k reading web
