Chapter 39: Princess Lianxiang

This little girl responds to the words of the first class, every time she says it, she is so well-behaved and skillful, and when she turns her head, she forgets it all, how to come or how to come, sighs helplessly, and asks: "Why don't you stop when you come back from Jiang Guogong's mansion?" What's the matter with your grandfather? ”

Shen Ai turned around, blinked his big eyes and said, "Grandfather, do you have any silver?" ”

Shen Guogong smiled: "What, is it because your mother won't give it to you?" ”

Shen Ai's eyes widened and he looked very surprised, and said, "Grandfather is so smart, this is all right." ”

Shen Guogong nodded her smooth forehead and said with a smile: "Sycophant, let's say, what do you want silver?" How much? ”

"Ai'er wants to make chrysanthemum wine, it takes about a hundred taels."

"Winemaking? What's in your little head? Which kind of wine is made from chrysanthemums? Shen Guogong frowned slightly

"Oh~ Grandfather, you will borrow a hundred taels from Ai'er first, and when the time comes, Ai'er will return a thousand taels to grandfather, what a bargain." Shen Ai grabbed Jiang Guogong's arm and shook it around coquettishly

Shen Guogong frowned, thought for a while, looked at his granddaughter pitifully begged for his heart, and then responded: "You can give the silver, but if you really brew wine, you can't drink it." "Who knows what kind of stuff it brews, but you can't touch it at will, it's a trivial matter to drink it and hurt your stomach, and if it is fermented, it's not good.

Seeing that the silver had Shen Ai, he perfectly avoided the wound and patted his small chest to pack the ticket, absolutely not a drop.

Shen Guogong still estimated the credibility of her words for a while before letting go, she got up and took a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and said, "Remember your guarantee." ”

Shen Ai took the silver ticket and nodded violently: "Remember, grandfather is waiting to drink the chrysanthemum wine brewed by Ai'er with the fat big crab." "It's just right to be stuffed with crab roe in September.

With the silver, Shen Ai began to buy materials and began to make wine.

In addition to chrysanthemum Shen Ai, three kinds of medicinal materials are added in the brewing of chrysanthemum wine, angelica, rehmannia and wolfberry, and then the glutinous rice bought is steamed with the medicinal juice of these medicinal materials, and the fermented koji is packed in the wine jar to ferment, and the sweetness is fermented.

Ask her how she knows about making chrysanthemum wine? Thanks to the director of the orphanage in his previous life, this kind old man who is more than half a hundred years old had better take a sip of wine, and he likes to tinker with it himself, since he was a child, he will brew it under his ears and eyes, but he will also have some flower wine and fruit wine, so she can only shake her head and not.

One hundred taels of silver were all spent to make two large jars of wine half a person high, and let several small servants carry them to the shade of the house, Shen Aicai patted the small palms that had been washed and not stained with any ash, and said to the few small servants who helped: "When Miss Ben's wine is ready, I will give you a pot of wine for each of you as a reward." ”

Everyone knew that their young lady loved to make fools around, and no one would look forward to this pot of wine, but they still thanked them respectfully and happily.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is here in a blink of an eye, and I want to accompany the emperor and the concubines to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the evening, and the family is preparing to enter the palace at noon.

Because of the title of the county lord, he was going to thank him, so he was dressed very grandly today, and the head was also asked by the Mu family to go to the Baolai Building to play a set of red gold inlaid agate butterfly heads.

Dressed in a peony-colored wrapping skirt, and then with this head, it looks like a few flower butterflies resting on a peony flower from a distance, and their wings tremble lightly as if they want to fly high.

This time I entered the palace to go to the emperor to thank him, so the Shen family set off earlier than the last time.

I was led by my grandfather for a long time, and finally came to the Deqing Palace, where the emperor approved the recital to meet the minister, and the little father-in-law who guarded the door of the palace went in to report, and only after the transmission was passed on inside was able to enter the palace.

Rubbing his slightly sore calves, Shen Ai crossed the threshold higher than his knees and followed Shen Guogong into the hall.

The so-called Tianyan can't be snooped on, Shen Ai learned the rules of the Mu family's temporary teaching, and knelt in the hall with his little short legs with low eyebrows, shouting long live.

I only heard a deep and majestic voice coming from above my head in front of me: "Shen Aiqing, please get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Guogong got up and waved his robe and stood sideways, and Shen Ai's figure was all exposed.

I only heard the emperor above ask: "This is the county lord of Anping?" ”

Shen Guogong immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it is the little granddaughter of the minister, thanks to Your Majesty's love." ”

Shen Ai, who was kneeling on the ground, also hurriedly said crisply: "Shen Ai thanked Your Majesty Longen, may Your Majesty be blessed with longevity, health and blessing for all people, long live." ”

The old emperor's eyebrows were slightly raised, this girl had no stage fright, her little mouth was quite sweet, so she waved her hand: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Ai got up and still bowed his head respectfully.

I only heard the old emperor say: "Raise your head." ”

Shen Ai obediently raised his chin slightly, and his eyes quietly glanced at the emperor sitting above, only to see an old man about forty years old dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a slightly slender figure and a goatee sitting on the dragon chair, his eyes were not angry but mighty, and his face was solemn and serious.

This old emperor is more than forty and fifty, but he is only about forty when he looks at it in person, and it is not difficult to see that he was also a handsome and beautiful man when he was young.

After glancing at Shen Ai, he lowered his eyebrows again, and the old emperor looked at him with sharp eyes, and a hint of playfulness flashed on his face.

"What does the county lord of Anping think of me?"

Forehead? What do you mean? Did this old emperor see her just now?

Shen Guogong, who was in front of his folded hands on the side, couldn't help but tighten his heart.

Shen Ai really didn't know what this old emperor meant, and after thinking about it for a moment, he replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, the sun and the dragon's face, the watch of the sky, the posture of the dragon and the phoenix, the great talent, can be described as a majestic appearance, is a rare Ming monarch in the world, Shen Ai was able to explore the sky today is really a blessing in three lives." ”

As soon as these words were finished, the old emperor and Shen Guogong were stunned, and Shen Aixin was also panicked, it was bad, she forgot that she was now five years old, where would a five-year-old child say these beautiful words, and then her eyes rolled and she smiled and said: "This is what a white-eyed old man with a long beard taught Ai'er when Ai'er dreamed last night, and he said that when His Majesty is happy, he will reward Ai'er with a lot of beautiful and delicious snacks." ”

The old emperor laughed: "I am really happy, come here, give the chrysanthemum cake just on this table to the county lord of Anping." ”

"Yes. The old eunuch who was waiting beside the emperor shook off the dust, picked up the steaming snacks on the table and walked to Shen Ai, who took it and knelt down respectfully to thank him.

The old emperor inquired about her injuries again, and after chatting a few words, he waved his hand and asked a little duke to lead Shen Ai to retreat and take her to Concubine Xian, while Shen Guogong was left in the palace to discuss things.

Shen Ai, who was holding a plate of dim sum out of the hall gate, raised his hand and quietly wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

Looking at the dim sum in his hand, it is naturally not an ordinary product that can be served in front of the emperor, and Shen Ai picked up a piece to taste it after walking a little farther, it is really much better than Jiang Guogong's mansion, and it is given by the emperor, and the meaning is different from ordinary pastries.

Concubine Xian's Juxian Hall is not close, the little father-in-law took care of Shen Ai's legs and feet all the way and walked not too fast, turning a small road to meet a team of palace maids in palace skirts, led by a little girl who looked two or three years older than Shen Ai, wearing a pink full-breasted palace skirt, with extremely delicate facial features, a big white and tender little face with a slight plank, and some similarity between the eyebrows and the emperor of Fangcai.

Before Shen Ai could guess his identity, the little father-in-law in front of him had already knelt on the ground: "Say hello to the princess." ”

Shen Ai also hurriedly hugged the plate and shook her legs: "Say hello to the princess." ”

"Who is she?" Princess Lianxiang looked Shen Ai up and down and asked her little father-in-law

Shen Ai only felt that the sound was like a clear spring when he heard it.

"Princess Yu, she is the young lady of the Shen State Mansion, the newly crowned county lord of Anping a few days ago, and I am here to thank Your Majesty today."

Princess Lianxiang glanced at Shen Ai: "Get up." ”

Shen Ai straightened up, this princess has such a big shelf, she can't afford to provoke her.

"But you want to go to Concubine Xian's place?" Princess Lianxiang didn't ask her little father-in-law when she said this, but looked directly at Shen Ai, obviously asking her, and her eyes swept the snacks in her hand as if they were nothing.

Shen Ai hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the princess, yes." ”

I only heard Princess Lianxiang say: "Then let's go together." ”

Shen Ai was stunned for a moment, this is a different way, she wants to take the road she just walked Wow, but she didn't dare to say more, she just respectfully watched the princess turn her head and walk back, and then followed her with her little short legs.

Followed by a large group of palace maids, Princess Lianxiang turned around and frowned, "You follow behind, stay away from the two of us." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Shen Ai, who was still stunned, and strode forward, and the group of palace maids obediently slowed down.

Shen Ai came back to his senses, looked at the slightly slender little hand on his wrist, and looked up in surprise: "Princess? ”

Princess Lianxiang glanced back at the palace maid not far behind, then turned her head and raised her finger to point to the snacks on the plate in her hand, and said, "This is what your father rewarded you?" ”

Shen Ai nodded in confusion.

"Give me a piece, I haven't had a sweet snack in two months."

After that, he directly reached out and took a piece, took a bite and squinted the phoenix eyes with satisfaction, and then cautiously turned his head to look back, looking at the look that he was afraid that the group of palace maids behind him would see her eat a snack, where was there such a high shelf just now.

Shen Ai couldn't help wiping the sweat on her forehead, is the treatment and food of the princess in the palace so bad? I haven't eaten dessert for two months, and if you want to eat, you have to guard against the palace maids around you.

Seeing that she finished eating a piece very quickly, Shen Ai handed over a piece very familiarly, and whispered: "Princess, why do you have to eat a snack secretly?" ”

took a bite of the dim sum Princess Lianxiang said: "My mother said that I can't be sweet, I am easy to get fat, like you." ”

“....!”

The corners of Shen Ai's mouth twitched, eating her snacks and saying to her face that she was fat, can she talk and eat snacks.

"Princess, I'm not called fat, but I'll lose weight when I grow up."

"No, no, my mother said it, if you don't control it now, it's too late to grow up."

Shen Ai was speechless
