Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan followed Shen Qiu into the palace. I didn't come back until the afternoon, and Emperor Wen Hui restored the official positions of several people, and also returned the tiger talisman to Shen Xin. Those Shen Jiajun who had been charged into the Imperial Forest Army took back Shen Xin's hands again, but Shen Xin was not necessarily very happy.

Pain is the thing that can temper people's will the most, and in such a difficult environment as Xiaochun City, Shen Xin is even more pampered than two years ago when he trains the scattered Luo Jiajun into an excellent and outstanding situation. Regarding Emperor Wen Hui's slap to give a sweet date, he didn't show too much look.

However, not long after Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan entered the palace, the Shen Mansion actually sent someone to Shen Miao and invited Shen Miao to go back and sit down. Shen Miao didn't bother to pay attention to those people, and directly asked the subordinates to treat them as if they were not there, and the people who came to inform the Shen family waited for a long time without believing it, first begging for softness at the door and saying that it was all a misunderstanding at the beginning, and then they scolded Shen Xin and his wife for being ruthless and unjust, and not worthy of their descendants. Hearing this, Luo Linglian frowned, Luo Tan was impulsive, and immediately rushed out of the door and scolded the people of the Shen family. Luo Tan grew up fighting with the girls since he was a child in Xiaochun City, and what he said was naturally extremely tricky, repeating the face of the Shen family when he fell into the well, and the people of the Shen family were all red-faced, and finally couldn't stand the pointing and pointing of the people around him, and fled with his tail between his legs.

After Shen Xin and the others came back, Shen Miao informed them of the matter, Shen Xin was silent for a moment, and beckoned Mo Qing to arrange more guards at the gate of the mansion in the future. It's an iron-blooded appearance that doesn't talk about any affection. This is exactly the taste of Luo Tan, which makes her applaud.

Luo Xueyan said at the dinner table: "Three days later, it is the tribute day, and we will all go to the palace." In the afternoon, let the tailor come over to cut some new clothes, especially Tan'er and Jiaojiao, we haven't been in Dingjing for two years, I don't know what kind of fabric style is in vogue at this time. After all, we can't be left behind. In the end, looking at Shen Miao's eyes and quite satisfied, if it was said that two years ago, everyone still had a straw bag for Shen Miao, but now two years later, Shen Miao has been reborn. is so beautiful and beautiful, coupled with her all-round bearing, I am afraid that even the princess will be inferior by three points.

"Go to the palace!" Luo Tan was a little excited: "Then you can see the people in the palace." I heard that the people of Qin are all tall, and the people of the Daliang royal family are even more beautiful, I don't know how many I can see this time?"

Luo Xueyan smiled: "Our Mingqi people are not bad, if Tan'er sees his favorite son at the tribute banquet, my aunt and uncle will also inquire about you." ”

When Luo Tan heard about his life's events, he didn't feel embarrassed or shy at all, but said: "I'm not in a hurry, but my little cousin has to think about it seriously." Those personal little cousins in Xiaochun City can't look down on them, and there are many noble sons in Dingjing City, if the little cousins can look down on them, they have to think about themselves first. She looked at Shen Miao and smiled.

Shen Miao glanced at her and didn't speak, but Luo Ling on the side, holding the chopsticks in his hand, looked a little hesitant.

In the afternoon, a tailor came to make clothes with them. In order to win over Shen Xin, Emperor Wen Hui also rewarded Shen Xin a lot when he came back to the palace. There were a few pieces of fabric in excellent color, just enough to be used for tailoring. It happened to be late autumn, Luo Xueyan asked the tailor to measure the size, and made several pieces for the two girls, even winter clothes. I picked out a lot of jewelry for people to send over, and I wanted to dress up the two girls in a glamorous and moving way.

In fact, Luo Xueyan didn't do this on purpose, the tribute was a big deal. Ming Qi must show the most rich and powerful side in front of Qin and Da Liang, civil and military officials with wives and children, each of them must be dressed luxuriously, and he must not lose Ming Qi's face. Otherwise, you are sinners in the world.

Luo Ling will also go with him, this time Shen Xin plans to give Luo Ling an errand in the military department, which can be regarded as exercising his ability. Before this, it is natural to take Luo Ling to familiarize himself with some of his colleagues, so that he can have a foil in the future.

During the three days of waiting, Shen Miao listened to what had happened in the past three years that Jing Yu and Gu Yu had been out, and it was a matter of listening to it. However, to her surprise, the Fengxian pawnshop in the capital was closed shortly after Shen Xin went to Xiaochun City, and I don't know why, it was only reopened a few days ago, saying that the shopkeeper went out of the house and returned to the capital not long after.

Feng Anning knew that she was back, but asked someone to bring her a letter, saying that she wanted to come to Shen Miao in person, but anyway, they would meet at the tribute banquet, so they didn't have to go this way. In addition to Feng Anning, Su Minglang even gave her a post, with crooked handwriting, she still sent it to her behind her back with the people in the house to let her little servant, which made Shen Miao cry and laugh.

Just played around and accompanied Luo Tan to visit the restaurant, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the tribute three days later.

The Ming and Qi tributes were a major event for the entire dynasty, and early in the morning, the bells and drums of Nanshan rang.

The vendors on the street talked about this matter, but the royal code, the people could not enter the palace, had to listen to the sound and movement outside the palace walls, most of the people envied the official family, the family members of the official family can enter the palace, if the official is older, even the tributary banquet can be participated.

Looking at the rich and luxurious banquet of the country, it always gives people the illusion of singing and dancing in a prosperous era. The people are always very simple, they can only see in front of them, and feel that this Ming Qi country can really continue from generation to generation, few smart people can see that this external enemy is not clear, and the internal worries are intensifying, but it is a state of stormy and shaky, that is, it is enough face, and where can it really sit back and relax?

Shen Xin's chariot stopped at the gate of the palace, and the palace people who had already prepared outside led them in. Luo Tan looked around curiously, and was pressed by Shen Qiu's head to prevent her from colliding with the nobles in the palace. Luo Ling seemed very steady, although it was the first time he entered the palace, he did it very properly.

When it came to the level of the festival, the civil and military officials also came. The sound of drums, music, and a hundred salutes rushed to the sky, ending in a grand and majestic manner.

The emperor and queen sat on the main seat, Shen Miao raised her eyes and saw that Emperor Wenhui was in a dragon robe, her expression was steady and majestic, and her trance was no different from two years ago. But if you look closely, now you have to be supported by your father-in-law when you walk, and your steps are not as powerful as before, and you are much older.

Fu Xiuyi followed the princes to stand on the side, now he is gradually becoming beautiful, and he looks extremely outstanding among the princes, he is the youngest one, and now he is so handsome and slender, which also provokes many high-ranking officials and daughters present to secretly look over there. After all, Fu Xiuyi has reached the point where even Guanghua can't hide it, and his brothers who want to come to him are not as relieved as they were at the beginning.

Shen Miao also looked at Fu Xiuyi, but where her eyes fell, it was the man in green shirt among the courtiers behind Fu Xiuyi. That person's temperament is high and dusty, and there is also a sense of awkwardness that is out of place among the courtiers, he doesn't look like an official, but like a scholar, it is Pei Lang.

The place where Pei Lang stood was not far behind Fu Xiuyi, on such an occasion, with Fu Xiuyi's cautious attitude, it was obvious that he was now very dependent on trusting Pei Lang to give Pei Lang such dignity. As if sensing this gaze, Fu Xiuyi suddenly turned his head sideways, Shen Miao's eyes wandered, and he didn't stop for a moment. Fu Xiuyi looked at the crowd for a moment, then turned his head away.

On the upper side of the guests' seats sat a man and a woman, both of whom were very young. It's late autumn, and the weather is actually a little cold, even the daughters of the official family who wear flowers and branches to compete for beauty will also put on cloaks to save the cold. The girl was wearing a thin gold gauze dress with intricate embroidery on it, and it would take a year and a half to embroider such a needle and thread. The girl's eyebrows and eyes were also exquisite, but her movements were not very respectful, and when the ceremonial officer began to recite the greetings, he also swept everyone with disdain, and there was no trace of respect in his expression.

This girl is Princess Ming'an. Princess Ming'an is next to the crown prince of Qin, Huang Fu Hao, who is better than the princess of Ming'an, at least not as obvious as Princess Ming'an's presumptuous performance, and still looks at the process on the stage with a smile, as if he is sincerely honored for the Ming Qi tribute. It's just that under such a smiling tiger, it makes people feel even more chilled.

It was the first time for Luo Tan to come to such an occasion, and he felt novel, so he naturally noticed the person in the VIP seat. She thought about it, pulled the sleeve of an official daughter beside her, and asked in a low voice when no one was paying attention: "Why are there only the princes and princesses of the Qin Kingdom, His Royal Highness the Great Liang Rui King?"

The young lady was almost startled by Luo Tan's pull like this, although she was a little displeased, she still answered her doubts with Luo Tan in good upbringing: "His Royal Highness King Da Liangrui is unwell, and he has not come today." ”

Luo Tan suddenly realized, looked at Shen Miao on the side, Shen Miao was standing beside her, and the conversation between Luo Tan and the young lady was naturally covered by Shen Miao. Luo Tan said: "His Royal Highness King Rui's shelf is really big enough, isn't this deliberately embarrassing the emperor." ”

The Ming Qi tribute, the Qin State and the Great Liang came to congratulate them, but as a result, King Rui was absent during the festival, didn't he give the Ming Qi royal family a slap in front of the world. It's just that the people of the Ming Qi royal family don't dare to get angry, not only that, but they also have to eat and drink well to serve people, no why, this world is that the strong are respected, and Ming Qi didn't dare to do it against Da Liang.

The tributary festival lasted three full hours from beginning to end, beginning at noon, when the sun was at its strongest, and ending until it was nearly evening. All civil and military officials and their families can't leave, this is a long-term torment, and the same is true for the emperor and queen, the higher the status, the more attention is paid to people, and the more fatigue can not be shown.

Rao is a generalist girl like Luo Tan, who feels a little weak when she has martial arts on weekdays, but when she turned her head, she saw Shen Miaoli's straightness, her hands folded in front of her, and she was dignified, Luo Tan couldn't help but be slightly stunned. She quietly asked, "Little cousin, aren't you tired?"

Shen Miao said: "I'm not tired." ”

Luo Tan was breathtaking. The surrounding ladies are all relaxing in the dark with wide sleeves or skirt corners, and it is rare for someone with solid eyes like Shen Miao to be. Luo Tan wanted to persuade Shen Miao to secretly relax a little, watching her movements, but he couldn't say anything.

Luo Tan has always known that Shen Miao's bearing is rare. It's just that she is not a person who chews words, and she can't tell what it feels like, but she just intuitively feels that Shen Miao looks different from other girls in Xiaochun City. Now here, there is an illusion, as if the solemn and majestic bearing between heaven and earth is made by Shen Miao, which is the correct posture. Even the queen on the high seat is not as graceful as Shen Miao at this moment. Another sixteen-year-old girl made a graceful gesture, which was already rare.

Not only did Luo Tan notice this, but it seemed that some sons of noble families were gradually attracted by Shen Miao. Among the sluggish noblewomen, Shen Miao is too eye-catching. Seeing this, Luo Ling frowned slightly, and quietly turned sideways, hiding Shen Miao at his side, blocking those slightly presumptuous gazes.

Seeing this, Luo Xueyan smiled with relief, Shen Miao was undecided, Luo Tan winked at Luo Ling, Luo Ling's cheeks were slightly red, and he turned his head sideways as if nothing happened.

When the three-hour festival is completed, the banquet will be held with the emperor and queen. Tomorrow's tributary night banquet is naturally a song and dance, and it is necessary to show the people of Qin and Daliang how the country and the people of Daliang are rich and strong in the Ming Dynasty.

Shen Miao and Luo Tan walked a few steps towards the hall of the palace banquet with the crowd, and a person behind her patted her on the shoulder, and Shen Miao turned around, with a familiar eyebrow.

"Hey, I saw you early in the morning, but we are too far away to come, Shen Miao, long time no see!" Feng Anning hugged Shen Miao with his backhand, and he was enthusiastic.

Compared with two years ago, Feng Anning looks more and more beautiful, and the girl's youthfulness is undoubtedly revealed. She wore a flowered bun and a pomegranate red dress. She let go of her hand, looked at Shen Miao dissatisfied, and said, "Why aren't you surprised at all when you see me?" Without waiting for Shen Miao to answer, she said to herself: "Forget it, you are such a character, I forgive you." However," she looked Shen Miao up and down: "I haven't seen you for two years, how did you become so good-looking?

Shen Miao was also instructed by Luo Xueyan to dress up well today, wearing a purple begonia crescent phoenix tail Luo skirt, a pinched placket with large lilacs embroidered on the coat, a hair comb in a hanging cloud bun, a jade begonia hairpin obliquely inserted on the head, and the earrings are small pearl grains. She was originally small and delicate with facial features, but her bearing was striking, standing there quietly, with a gentle and dignified air, and her eyes were as clear and black as a newborn deer, which caused many young men to look back frequently.

The woman's appearance is good, she has an extraordinary bearing, the icing on the cake, and it is difficult for people to forget.

Luo Tan had been standing next to Shen Miao and looked at Feng Anning curiously. Feng Anning finally noticed her and asked, "Who is this?"

"My cousin Luo Tan. Shen Miao said: "This is Miss Feng Anning." ”

Luo Tan said hello to Feng Anning. Feng Anning has a fiery temperament, Luo Tan is straightforward and lively, but the two of them hit it off at first sight, and the quarrel made Shen Miao's ears hurt a little. When it was time to take a seat, Feng Anning even said hello to Mrs. Feng, and slipped over to Shen Miao to sit down by himself, so that he could talk to Shen Miao.

In the past, when the festival was held, they all stood according to their official positions, but now when it comes to the night banquet, they can sit at will. As soon as Shen Xin returned to the capital, he didn't have any particularly good colleagues, so he found a place at random. It's just that he was now "invited" back by Emperor Wen Hui, and the colleagues around him naturally didn't dare to snub him, and they spoke respectfully.

Feng Anning and Shen Miao bit their ears: "Hey, these wall grasses, why didn't General Shen greet each other when he went out of the city, and now he is doing something intimate, and he is acting coyly." ”

Shen Miao smiled slightly, noncommittal, only to hear Feng Anning say again: "Look, your cousin is also here." ”

Shen Miao was stunned, raised her eyes to look at the place where Feng Anning was pointing, and just met the other party's gaze.

After two years, I finally saw Shen Yue again.

Shen Gui since Shen Yuan's accident, his status in the court has plummeted, he originally relied on the left and right sources to climb up, after Shen Yuan was beheaded, the courtiers regarded him as a plague, it was too late to hide, Shen Gui himself had no ability, and he was getting worse and worse day by day, on such an occasion, he had no chance to come. It was Shen Wan's family who came.

Shen Wan is about to have a smooth career now, and he is toasting with people with a smile on his face at the moment, Chen Ruoqiu is sitting next to him, talking to the lady next to him with a smile, looking as satisfied as he was two years ago. But...... The years have passed, but they are not as alive as before. Thinking that the second room had no children for a long time, Old Madam Shen also put pressure on the third room, and Chen Ruoqiu withstood the pressure of Old Madam Shen to give Shen Wan to open branches and leaves, and his life was not very easy.

It was Shen Yue who looked at Shen Miao. Shen Yue and Yi Peilan Bai Wei Jiang Xiaoxuan were sitting together, their eyes were staring at her tightly, and Shen Miao could taste the resentment in Shen Yue's eyes from a long distance.

Shen Yue was wearing a smoke-pink pleated Ruyi skirt with a flower crown, she was also eighteen years old now, and she was born weak and beautiful, but she was also beautiful. However, Shen Miao's eyes paused on the bracelet on her wrist, and then glanced at the agate silver hairpin on her head, and the corners of her lips hooked.

With Shen Yue's love of showmanship, for fear of missing every opportunity to show himself, he still uses the jewelry of two years ago, which can only show that the money in the third room is not very loose now. Thinking about it, Mrs. Shen spent a lot of money, and after the separation, there was no Shen Xin to support her, Chen Ruoqiu's family must be very difficult, and Shen Wanshi still had to work on the way, and the silver that Shen Yue could dispose of was probably a lot less.

No matter how high the scholarly family is, you have to live the same life, and if you have less money, how can you be hard. In fact, with Shen Yue's appearance, it is not difficult to marry a young master of an official family who is the right person, in this way, he can more or less help Shen Wanyi, but Shen Yue has stayed until now and does not say kiss, Shen Miao has never understood in her previous life, and she stupidly wanted to find some young talents for her, but it was only later that she saw that Shen Yue's heart was big, and where could ordinary young talents get into her eyes?

Shen Yue stared at Shen Miao directly, and all that swelled up in his heart was boundless jealousy. She could see it clearly, the clothes on Shen Miao's body were only available in the palace. Shen Wan had done a good job before, and she was lucky to get one, originally she wanted to keep it to make clothes, but who knew that Shen Wan gave it to her boss. In the past two years, Shen Wan's official has become bigger and bigger, but Shen Yue's silver is not as easy as before. Shen Yue attributed all this to Shen Xin's family and took most of the money, which made her live such a poor life now. I thought that Shen Miao had gone to a desolate place like Xiaochun City, and she would have no chance to come back in this life. Who knew that Shen Miao was not only back, but also came back so glamorously, those sons and brothers frequently looked at Shen Miao, Shen Yue was unwilling to mix with jealousy, and he just wished that Shen Miao was dead.

Ren Ren looked at her like a knife, but Shen Miao smiled faintly, and turned her head sideways to say something to Luo Tan and Feng Anning, but she didn't look at Shen Yue.

At this time, the emperor and queen began to take their seats. The original commotion gradually subsided, and Emperor Wen Hui smiled and instructed everyone to have fun with the mountains and rivers.

Immediately afterwards, on the VIP seat, Prince Qin and Princess Ming'an also took their seats. Princess Ming'an directly ignored the palace rules and etiquette, and was very arrogant, and she didn't even perform the courtesy with Emperor Wen Hui, and Emperor Wen Hui's smile was a little stiff, but it was Huang Fu Hao, who was very respectful.

Luo Tan looked left and right, and when Feng Anning saw this, he asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I don't think the King of Liang Rui has come yet. Luo Tan said: "It's not that the people of the royal family of the Great Liang Dynasty are all extremely beautiful, even Emperor Yongle is also a beautiful man, since King Rui is the younger brother of Emperor Yongle, he is naturally also infinitely beautiful, I also want to see this shocking beauty." ”

When Feng Anning heard this, he pursed his lips: "Come on, after King Rui came to the Great Liang Dynasty, except for His Majesty, he has never appeared in front of outsiders." Besides, even if he appears today, you won't see his shocking beauty. ”

"Why?" Luo Tan was puzzled: "Is he ugly?"

Before the words fell, I heard a long shrill shout from the eunuch outside: "Da Liang-His Royal Highness King Rui has arrived-"

Everyone's eyes looked towards the door.

Then he saw a slender figure coming from outside, followed by the guard, and the man walking in the front. He was extremely tall and straight, wearing a purple robe embroidered with gold thread, and as he walked, the purple and gold robe flowed with a gorgeous twist, with a rhino horn belt tied around his waist, embellished with white jade pendants, and deerskin boots. is a very simple clothing, and it actually compares the Manchu Dynasty with civil and military forces, but the most attractive thing is not these.

He wears a half-silver mask on his face.

The mask starts from the forehead and stops at the tip of the nose, but because it fits the facial features, it shows extremely smooth lines. It can be seen that the bridge of the nose is high, and the shape of a pair of eyes is like a painting in the shaft, which is swept at will, and the exposed chin is beautiful, and the lips are thin and ruddy, which is tightly closed, as if it is also a silent invitation.

There was silence.

This young man is clearly wearing a mask, which makes people unable to see his appearance clearly, and he also has the ability to seduce the soul. Everyone stared at the face without blinking, the silver mask glowed with a cold light, making people feel a cold chill, but the eyes were black and bright, as if they were smiling playfully, a little frivolous and a little indifferent, making it impossible to tell whether it was warm or cold.

It is a young man who is enough to attract everyone's attention, and the sun is as dazzling as the sun.

He sat down on the VIP seat, and his every move was elegant and dignified, in contrast, Huangfu Hao, who had good manners, was as rude as a rough man. And Princess Ming'an, who was beside Huangfu Hao, had already been a little stupid.

Emperor Wen Hui laughed, looked at King Rui and said, "King Rui is not feeling unwell today, why did he come to the tribute banquet again, so that these ministers are not surprised." ”

Rui Wang nodded at Emperor Wen Hui, his posture was a little casual and a little lazy, and said, "Suddenly I was interested again, and I came." ”

His voice was very good, low and a little magnetic, and the daughters present were slightly red-faced. But these words are completely rude and presumptuous, Ming Qi's tributary banquet is a major event, but in the mouth of King Rui, it seems to be like an ordinary person's banquet, come when you want, and leave if you want. There are really some people who have no one in sight.

The courtiers of Ming Qi all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and Emperor Wen Hui did not dare to say anything, what could they do. This Da Liang Rui Wang and Emperor Yongle have almost the same style, unbridled tight, but there is a kind of pressing pressure.

Emperor Wen Hui really didn't pursue this matter anymore, and let the ministers continue to eat and drink, obviously intending to expose this matter.

Luo Tan whispered to Shen Miao while eating the pastries at the banquet: "This His Royal Highness King Rui is really bold, he dares to talk to the emperor like this, isn't he afraid that the emperor will punish him?"

"What kind of crime," Feng Anning pouted when he heard this, "He is the Rui King of the Great Liang Dynasty." The people of the Great Liang Dynasty can only be the guests of Mingqi, and the guests do everything right. Although Feng Anning spoke in a low voice, he was also vague, and he didn't dare to say it too clearly, after all, he was in the palace. If it is listened to by someone with a heart, who knows what the consequences will be.

"This wise king has never heard of it before. Luo Tan cupped his cheeks and said, "It looks like a beautiful man, I really want to see what it looks like under the mask." Luo Tan's favorite thing is a handsome man, and when he saw this wise king, his eyes were almost glued to others.

"Maybe there's an ugly monster under the mask. Feng Anning poured cold water on her: "Otherwise, why do you want to wear a mask?"

"I bet he's one of the few beautiful men in the world. Luo Tan pushed Shen Miao: "Otherwise, little cousin, what kind of person do you think this Rui Wang is?"

Shen Miao didn't raise his head: "I don't know." ”

"Let's talk about it," Luo Tan didn't relent: "Guess, which is more beautiful, His Royal Highness Rui Wang, who wears a mask, or the little marquis of the Xie family, who once admired Dingjing?"

Shen Miao didn't expect Luo Tan to describe Xie Jingxing as "Yan Jue Dingjing", she was drinking tea, she choked on a mouthful of tea, and coughed violently twice, so frightened that Luo Tan and Feng Anning hurriedly covered her mouth, so as not to be rude.

However, the movement was a little bigger, and some people who were close to it looked at it. Shen Miao wiped the corners of her mouth in disguise, but in a blink of an eye, she saw a pair of eyes.

The masked man in the VIP seat tilted his head slightly, not knowing whether it was real or delusional, his gaze stayed on her for a moment, and then moved away.

The eyes are very playful.
