Chapter 55: The Prince's Banquet
Hearing Shen Guogong say that there were still a small number of people left in the capital, Shen Ai remembered that he had saved a pair of brothers when he and Shen Erye sent cotton clothes before, and they only remembered it when they were delayed by the matter of flower wine, and I don't know what happened to the two now.
Immediately, he threw away the chess pieces and got up and said to Shen Guogong: "Grandfather, Ai'er still has something to do, so I won't play with my grandfather today." ”
Seeing that his little grandson was a little anxious, he asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”
Shen Ai didn't hide it, and said while putting on his shoes: "Last time, when I went to deliver clothes, I saved a pair of brothers with my father, but recently I forgot everything about the flower and wine, and I don't know what happened to the two of them." ”
Second Master Shen is also painting in the house every day, and he seems to have forgotten it, if he doesn't arrange it to save people, a good thing will become a bad thing.
After explaining the matter to Shen Guogong, Shen Ai went straight to Shen Erye's study, and when he entered the house, he saw that he was painting in the house.
Shen Ai found a small chair to sit on, and waited for Shen Erye to stop writing before he stepped forward with a smile and said, "What is Daddy painting?" ”
Shen Erye, who was obsessed with painting, only saw his baby daughter at this time, and when he heard her ask himself, he picked up the newly drawn picture of the lady and bent down to show her, and said, "Is it good-looking?" ”
Shen Ai stretched out his head and saw a beautiful woman wearing a floor-length red dress and holding a flower umbrella standing in front of a red plum tree, and her slightly sideways face could see its stunning color, but how could she look at Youmu's demeanor?
"Daddy, are you painting your mother?"
Second Master Shen nodded: "What?" ”
Shen Ai pretended to ponder for a while, and said with a straight face: "It's not as good as my mother's half a point." ”
Second Master Shen smiled and rolled up the painting and tapped her forehead, and said, "Little ponyf, your mother is still shooting hard when she is not in front of you." ”
Shen Ai laughed twice, and when Shen Erye put away the painting, he asked with a straight face: "Daddy, do you know how the two brothers who were rescued outside the city last time are doing now?" ”
Shen Erye got up and put the painting into the long box, turned back and smiled at her: "Do you remember them?" ”
Shen Ai stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, and laughed twice: "It's been cold lately, and I don't like to go out very much, don't you forget this." ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Shen Erye's wide-sleeved lips and pouted: "Daddy, just tell me how they are now, where they are." ”
"Hmph, you little girl, how can you remember them if you make that flower wine all day long."
Second Master Shen lovingly pinched her chubby little face, and hugged her with a smile and sat down: "They are still in the hospital, and I heard that the next person came to report that the son is already well." ”
"That'll be fine." Shen Ai Zhong Da'an.
In the afternoon, Shen Qingfeng and Shen Mingfeng and Shen Yunfeng returned to find Shen Ai together, it turned out that the prince and the five princes were all there today, because the prince was newly married soon and the plum blossoms were beginning to bloom, when he was interested, he said that the prince's mansion would hold a flower banquet two days later, and invite all the sons and ladies in Beijing to enjoy the plum blossoms.
At that time, Zheng Wanyu, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, inadvertently mentioned that the games they often play when they get together now were thought up by Shen Ai, and the prince asked them to bring Shen Ai to the banquet that day.
After understanding what happened, Shen Ai was a little speechless, feeling that this prince wanted her to think about a new game to relieve her boredom! I don't know if Zheng Wanyu mentioned her intentionally or unintentionally, since she was hit by an arrow wound, she deliberately avoided her.
However, the snow disaster has just been alleviated, and King Yu was implicated in the corruption case again, and the prince's flower banquet at this juncture is obviously a little unsuitable, no matter how to say that King Yu is his half-brother, and he is raised under the queen's knees.
Shen Ai's eyes narrowed slightly, this King Yu can be regarded as the prince's right-hand man in the novel!
His brother Shen Qingfeng knew Shen Ai the best among the three people, and when he saw his eyes narrowing slightly, he couldn't help but ask, "Ai'er doesn't want to go?" ”
Shen Ai came back to his senses, shook his head at him and smiled: "No, I just think that this cold prince is really Yaxing." ”
Hearing this, Shen Yunfeng sneered lightly and said: "It's not that Miss Zheng loves Mei and made a plum poem, there is a plum forest in the backyard of the prince's mansion, and the prince is naturally full of elegance in order to please the beauty." ”
Shen Mingfeng frowned slightly, and scolded lightly: "Be careful when you speak." ”
Shen Yunfeng snorted lightly and turned his head to make a grimace at Shen Ai.
Shen Ai chuckled lightly and said, "Big brother, don't be nervous, only our four brothers and sisters are here, and it's okay to say anything." ”
Shen Mingfeng eased his face and raised his hand to touch her head, and said, "I'm afraid that your second brother won't be able to control his big mouth when he goes out." ”
Shen Ai smiled and said to Shen Yunfeng: "Second brother knows how to measure, right?" ”
Shen Yunfeng raised his chin slightly towards Shen Mingfeng, and said proudly: "It's still Ai'er who knows me best." ”
After playing with the three brothers for a while, they went out to the front hall to finish their meal.
Sure enough, the next day, I received a flower sticker sent by the princess, and the post with red plums printed with gold edges is atmospheric and elegant, which shows that this is written by the author as a cautious and violent princess still has merit, and in the end it is the young lady who came out of everyone.
The flower banquet was scheduled for three days later, and when it was time to get up in the morning, Mu and Shen Erye came over to wake her up as usual, and personally picked out a set of peach-pink clothes.
This is just done a few days ago in the embroidery room in the house, the first time to wear it today, Mu Shi while dressing her and telling the rules of the prince's mansion, not afraid that she will collide with others, but afraid that she will collide with the prince and the princess, according to the princess's temperament... Even if there is a county lord and the granddaughter of the princess, it will not be good.
After breakfast, Shen Erye and Mu sent the two children to the gate, and after telling Shen Mingfeng to be optimistic about Shen Ai, they watched a few people get into the carriage, and only after driving away did the two turn around and enter the door.
There was a lot of traffic outside the Prince's Mansion, but because the standards of the Guogong Mansion didn't make them wait for a long time like others, and the carriage stopped in front of the door after a while.
got out of the car and handed the post to the housekeeper waiting at the door, and was led into the house by a maid.
In the past two days, the sky has been sunny and there has been no snow, and the snow on the trail has been cleared, but there is still a thick layer of snow on the side of the road, and the flowers and trees can no longer see the original color, and the eyes are all snow-white, and the sky is colder than when it snowed a few days ago, Shen Ai held the stove with both hands and was carried all the way into the greenhouse by Shen Mingfeng.
Originally, it was a banquet for young people, and the defense of men and women in this dynasty was not too tight, so the seats of men and women were placed opposite each other, and when the four of them entered, there were already many people sitting inside.
Shen Ai had just come down from Shen Mingfeng's arms, and before she could settle down, she saw in the blink of an eye that a little girl who was half a head taller than herself had rushed to her, and she looked at it, ah, isn't this Princess Lianxiang? immediately lowered his eyebrows and followed his three brothers to greet Princess Lianxiang.
Princess Lianxiang waved her hand a little impatiently, and then took Shen Ai's hand and walked to the women's seat, leaving Shen Ai's three brothers with worried faces in vain.
No matter what kind of banquet, the seats are arranged according to their status and status, Shen Ai is not the county lord, and he is too young to sit with the princess, but Princess Lianxiang ordered someone to put her seat beside her, and only when the matter is over, let people go to report to the prince and the princess.
Although it is not in accordance with the rules, it is rare for Princess Lianxiang to go out of the palace to play, and the two are of the same age, and this is not a formal banquet, so the prince followed her.
Today, Princess Lianxiang is wearing a light red jacket, and the half-length green silk is pulled into a serious bun, not like Shen Ai's usual two small tugging, and the bun wears a set of gold-inlaid heads, although it is not as grand as a palace banquet, but it is not an identity.
Shen Ai couldn't help but touch the two strings of bells on her head, which were still put on by Mu's family, otherwise she would have to go out with only two strips of cloth tied to her hair.
After the people below cleaned up the seats, Shen Ai came over to Princess Lianxiang on the side, with a mysterious look on her face, stretched out her hand and pulled her small sleeves, Shen Ai hurriedly clung to the ear, and heard her ask: "Shen Ai, do you know the second lady of the prime minister's family?" ”
Shen Ai hurriedly nodded again and again: "I know, princess, this is....?"
Princess Lianxiang said, "Later, you will show it to this princess." ”
A trace of doubt flashed on Shen Ai's face, Zheng Wanyu also went to the palace banquet, but Princess Lianxiang didn't know her? And the palace maid who followed and served knew what to say, how to ask about her.
"Princess... Haven't seen Miss Two yet? ”
Princess Lianxiang sat up straight and nodded: "Every time there is a palace banquet, my father will not let this princess participate." ”
Shen Ai was slightly surprised, and after thinking about it for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”
Princess Lianxiang pulled the handkerchief in her hand, and shook her head with loneliness on her face: "Father doesn't like me to come out." ”
Shen Ai thought about it for a while and only remembered that Princess Lianxiang was sent by the emperor to kiss, so she really didn't know, but she didn't dare to inquire about the royal affairs, so the topic stopped, and she picked up some small interesting things, and she could still coax a ten-year-old child and an old aunt in her twenties.
The three brothers of the Shen family, who had already sat down, saw that their sister was chatting with the princess very well, so they relaxed and turned to change the cup with the person next to them.
The people were almost here, the prince and the princess came out hand in hand, and after they sat down, everyone praised the two for having a good relationship.
There are many topics to talk about among young people, and Shen Ai and Princess Lianxiang are two children playing with themselves, the two of them ate a plate of snacks together, they both felt a little supportive, so they took a break, Princess Lianxiang took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and said, "Which one is Miss Zheng Er?" ”
Shen Aichao sat down close to the chairman of Qingxia County: "The one next to the chairman of Qingxia County below, dressed in white, has the most outstanding appearance is her." ”
Princess Lianxiang stretched her neck slightly to look at it, and only after a long time did she murmur: "No wonder the crown prince brother and the fifth emperor brother like her, it's really beautiful." ”
Shen Ai smiled and took a sip of tea when she heard this, this is the heroine, can it not be beautiful? Thinking about how many men in the text have a crush on her, they all bow down to her pomegranate skirt one by one and let her send them, thinking that Jiang Yu is also a member of the heroine in the text, Shen Ai couldn't help frowning: This Jiang Yu can breathe a little, don't be a victim again.
