A few families were happy and a few were sad, and when Gu Yan's personal temple man Meng Xiangzhi came to the Shen Mansion with an edict, Shen Xiao was instantly dumbfounded. Although he is a military attache and holds military power, he does not know how to plan, and he does not want his sons to become pawns for others to pursue profits at a young age. Shiqing Shilu made him destined to be in a high position and enjoy glory from birth, and also let him see enough of the brothers behind the change of power and cannibalism with father and son.

Miasma.

Every time Shen Xiao knelt down in the Chengqian Hall and paid homage to the king, this feeling would well-spring up in his heart. The emperors of the Qi Kingdom have always been good at literature and dislike martial arts, and when they came to Emperor Zhang De Gu Yan, this bias had reached the extreme. Even so, the military seals of the three armies are still awe-inspiring. So the officials not only flattered him in every way, but also ridiculed him behind his back for being just a reckless man in the village. Shen Xiao can also see it, he doesn't wade into this troubled water on weekdays, and when the smoke of gunpowder rises, he will definitely live up to the country's humiliation, so it's good. How can the tree be quiet and the wind does not stop, there are always people who intentionally or unintentionally want to pull him into the whirlpool, and they cannot stop it.

Seeing that Shen Xiao was silent, Meng Xiangzhi cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Lord Shen is this reluctant?" ”

Shen Xiao came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The king wants to bring the dog, of course Shen Xiao is grateful." ”

Seeing this, Meng Xiangzhi handed him the edict with a smile and said, "Lord Shen, please get up, Ming'er also asks the little young master to go to the Chengqian Hall early to wait." ”

"Thank you, the king." Shen Xiao kowtowed, then got up and wanted to send Meng Xiangzhi out. He smiled all the way until he reached the gate, watched him get into the carriage, and went all the way, then he pulled down his face and sighed and walked to the inner room. After a few steps, I saw Shen Zi'an standing under the heather tree in the center of the courtyard with his hands down, plain and powdery, extremely well-behaved.

Shen Zi'an saw that his father was full of sadness, and he couldn't bear it, so he didn't wait for Shen Xiao to call him, so he ran over by himself, grabbed Shen Xiao's hand, and asked, "Why is my father unhappy?" ”

Shen Xiao looked at his youngest son's Shui Lingling's eyes, almost opened his mouth, and finally said with a smile, "Where am I unhappy?" ”

"After my father finished talking to the adult just now, he looked depressed." Shen Zi'an said cautiously.

When Shen Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but be gloomy, "The king ordered you to be a companion." ”

Seeing that Shen Zi'an was puzzled, Shen Xiao took him into the bedroom, sent someone to tell him what he had just thought, and sighed, "I really don't want to tell you this, you are still so young, you should be carefree, how can the king's order not be violated." You listen to your father's words, don't be in the limelight, and don't get too close to His Royal Highness. During the day, I am in the Wude Palace, your brother is in the Shaoyang Palace, and at night there are officials on duty in the side room of the court, if you encounter any tricky things......"

Shen Zi'an saw that his father was getting more and more anxious, so he hurriedly interrupted his words and said with relief, "Daddy, don't worry, it's a good thing to go to the palace to read books, maybe Daddy thinks too much." ”

Shen Xiao took a deep breath, held Shen Zi'an's face, and forced a smile, "I hope I'm thinking too much." Do I remember everything I said to you? ”

"Remember!" Shen Zi'an replied crisply.

Shen Xiao stood up and said, "You go back to the house and rest, I'll go and ask someone to pack some luggage for you." ”

After dinner, Shen Zizheng pressed his brother on the chair, and warned him left and right, Shen Ziheng stood aside and kept responding, "Big brother is right, you have to go to your heart." The brothers sang and harmonized for a long time, and said Shen Zi'an to the point of yawning. Seeing this, Shen Zizheng didn't dare to say anything, picked him up, and urged him to go to sleep.

"It's just dark!" Shen Zi'an tried to protest, but Shen Xiao didn't talk nonsense, and dragged him by the arm to the bedroom. After a lot of pushing, shoving, and noisy, Shen Zi'an finally shut up, got into the bed, and fell asleep obediently.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Zi'an got up early, sat in front of the mirror, and watched Li's mother help him tie his hair and dress. Mother Li's hands were busy, and she couldn't stop chattering, "Since the young master was born, I have been taking care of it." I am a subordinate, and I dare not say that I treat the young master as if I am my own flesh and blood, but I also really miss the young master. The young master has always been smarter and more sensible than children of the same age, and although he is endearing, he is also easy to hate. I have already asked Aster to put all the commonly used clothes and luggage on the carriage, and after entering the palace this time, the young master is afraid that he will only be able to come back once a month. As he spoke, he choked up. When Shen Zi'an saw it, he hurriedly turned around. Mother Li squatted down, clenched his hand, and said with a smile holding back tears, "Young master, you must take care of yourself, God bless you." After that, he urged Shen Zi'an to visit Shen Xiao and the others. After seeing Shen Xiao and Jia's family, after a long period of advice, he got into the carriage and went all the way east.

Shen Zi'an opened the curtain, poked his head out, and subconsciously looked back, seeing that Shen Xiao was still standing at the door, looking at the direction he was leaving, a feeling of stuffiness and weakness suddenly surged up in his stomach, and then surged all over his limbs and spread throughout his body. He suddenly wanted to cry, and despite his father and brother's instructions, he still couldn't stop panicking.

Is this imperial city really as terrifying as my brothers said?

Thinking about it all the way, before I realized it, I had already arrived at the foot of Fengtianmen. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a little eunuch running from afar, and when he arrived in front of Shen Zi'an, he was panting heavily, and he made a respectful gesture and said, "Lord Meng ordered me to take Gongzi to Chengqian Palace, and Gongzi will come with me." ”

After two years and embarking on this road again, Shen Zi'an no longer has that joy. The little eunuch saw that he was still young and timid, so he talked some gossip, trying to make him happy, but Shen Zi'an also agreed without a word, but his mind was not here at all. After a long time, when he finally arrived in front of the Chengqian Palace, the little eunuch bowed down and said, "Son, please enter the palace and wait." Shen Zi'an was already like a drum, trembling and just about to take a step, only to hear a voice from behind.

"Coming?"

Shen Zi'an was so shocked that he shouted out, and turned his head suddenly, only to see Gu Xuan looking at him with a smile on his back hand.

"Remember me?"
