Chapter 9 Birthday Celebrations

Emperor Hongzheng sat on the top in a majestic dragon robe, laughed in a low voice twice before shouting flat, Shen Xian slowly got up, and was stunned for a moment, who is the person sitting under His Majesty Shi Ling.

No wonder she couldn't find it just now, it turned out that she came in with His Majesty.

Shi Ling felt that Youdao's gaze had been staring at him, and when he turned his head to look at it, he met the man's eyes, and then frowned and moved away, unconsciously trying to block the man's gaze with a wine glass.

"Aiqing don't need to be polite, just enjoy yourself today."

After speaking, it was time for everyone to give gifts, first several ministers sent a few precious jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and then it was the turn of Shen Chongyuan of the Dingguo Mansion to look at Shen Xian, who got up and walked to the center of the hall without humility or arrogance, and said generously: "Your Majesty's birthday, the little girl and the third sister specially went to the Guoxiang Temple to copy ten volumes of scriptures, and drew a thousand mountains with their own hands to bless the longevity and stability of the country." ”

After speaking, a few attendants came in with the ten volumes of scriptures, and the other two unfolded a long scroll, revealing the original appearance of the thousand mountains little by little, some of the smoke and rain were hazy like a fairyland, and some of the clear sky and moon shone and the birds soared, and the layers of mountains seemed to be really like a fantasy after a long time as if they were really immersed.

His Majesty smiled with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Shen Chongyuan and said, "Shen Aiqing, your daughter is amazing, this gift is deeply heartfelt, and there is a reward!" ”

Shen Xian thanked her and peeked at Shi Ling, who glanced at her without being salty and stayed on her painting.

She looked up proudly and smiled.

The queen likes it more and more, the daughter of the Shen family is the daughter of a high family, and His Majesty has always liked it, if she can marry Yan Yuan, she will definitely help him a lot.

As soon as she gave this gift, it seemed that many people's gifts were overshadowed, Xiao Hui's face was especially unsightly, she originally prepared to copy the scriptures, but Shen Xian gave it out first, and then she came out, wouldn't it be a joke?

Sure enough, when she finished sending it, there was no reaction, so angry that she raised her eyes and glared at Shen Xian, but saw that Shen Xian had been looking at a place with a smile on her face.

Curiously looked at the light of her eyes, just when Shi Yu got up to give a gift, her heart was sour, and her hands under her wide sleeves were clenched into fists.

Seeing this, Zhao Baolin suddenly shook her head at her, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, she won't be so beautiful in a while." ”

Xiao Hui remembered something, and immediately returned to her usual appearance and smiled, even if Shen Xian still liked Shi Yu? Now that he is about to marry him, even if Shen Xian marries him in the future, she will only be a side concubine after all.

And Shen Xian didn't look at Shi Yu at all, but was angry because Shi Yu blocked him from looking at Shi Ling.

Shi Yu presented a jade Buddha, at first glance, it was finely carved and lifelike, but Emperor Hongzheng's expression did not change, he just smiled and nodded and let people put it away, Shi Yu's expression was obviously a little lost, and he just sat back and heard the queen call Shi Yanyuan.

"Yan Yuan, didn't you say that you prepared a big gift for your father?"

Shi Yanyuan got up slowly and said with a smile: "I have already sent the gift to my father." ”

Emperor Hongzheng was stunned: "Oh? I haven't seen it anywhere. ”

Shi Yanyuan: "Father, the son sent Wucheng." ”

Emperor Hongzheng was stunned, and there was an uproar in the hall, and even Shi Yu looked at Shi Yanyuan incredulously.

Who doesn't know that Wucheng was forcibly occupied by Wuye State ten years ago, this matter has always been a shame for Dacheng, and it is also the reverse scale of Emperor Hongzheng, that city is like a reminder of how incompetent Emperor Hongzheng was at that time, and now Shi Yanyuan actually said that Wucheng is back!

"You... Say it again. ”

Shi Yanyuan put away his smile: "A few years ago, Erchen negotiated in Wuye State, and Wucheng was robbed because I was weak, but now I am rich and strong, and I have not taken back what belongs to me." ”

After saying that, someone sent the contract signed by Wuye Country.

The queen peeked at Emperor Hongzheng's face, was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Yan Yuan has suffered a lot for this great gift. ”

"Okay, it's worthy of being my son, it's a good thing to say, and it's okay to do it!"

Shi Yanyuan: "As the son of his father, he can't be bad. ”

The two fathers and sons laughed, how dare the others not laugh? It's just that Shi Yu looked quite stiff when he laughed.

After that, the banquet was relaxed, many official ladies couldn't sit still, and Emperor Hongzheng was not a very serious person, so he let them go to play, so many people made an appointment to go to the imperial garden to play,

It's just that Shen Xian sat still, because Shi Ling didn't move, but she found that Shen Yao's eyes had already drifted outside, and said loudly: "If you want to go out to play, go ahead, I'll let Xiangnong follow you." ”

Shen Yao shook her head: "No need, I'm here to accompany my second sister and father and mother." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Hao suddenly turned her head: "Why do we need you to accompany us?" Go play, and don't forget to come back in time. ”

Shen Xian turned her eyes to look at Shi Ling, but she just ran away without seeing anyone.

So she lifted her skirt and got up to go out to find someone, Shen Yao followed behind her with a slight smile.

The palace Qionglou Yuyu is very good-looking, Shen Xian doesn't feel strange when she sees too much, Shen Yao is very curious about everything, she also wants to go to the Imperial Garden, but Shen Xian feels that Shi Ling will definitely not be the Imperial Garden, so she found a reason to go to another place, and unconsciously walked to the remote Moon Lake, although it is remote, the lake view is wonderful.

It's just a pity that Shi Ling still hasn't been found.

It can't be avoiding her, right?

She couldn't figure out that she didn't notice that there was someone behind her, but Xiangnong still felt strange, and when she turned her head, she saw a man in gorgeous clothes standing sneakily behind a tree, and hurriedly said: "Miss, where is there someone sneaky, let's go quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, the man suddenly stood up and rushed in front of Shen Xian in a panic, so frightened that Shen Xian retreated again and again, and the man shouted: "Miss Shen Er, don't be afraid, I'm Xiao Chengze." ”

"Xiao Chengze?"

Shen Xian remembered that he was Xiao Hui's eldest brother, and he had come to the mansion a few years ago to propose marriage, but at that time, His Majesty had already intended to marry her into the royal family, but he did not agree, and he was not good-looking, and he was still Xiao Hui's eldest brother, Shen Xian was not willing to look at him at all.

"Yes, yes, you remember me, not long ago, I heard that you were divorced and wanted to go to the Guogong Mansion to propose, my sister didn't know how to provoke you, why don't you marry me and be her sister-in-law, so she won't dare to be rude to you, how?"

said that he stepped forward and wanted to grab Shen Xian's hand, but fortunately Shen Xian dodged in time, so that he could only touch a corner of his clothes, but he saw that Xiao Cheng sniffed with the hand that touched the corner of his clothes and made a drunken appearance.

Disgusting: "Go away!" If you take a step closer to being rude, don't blame me for being rude to you! ”

"How can you not be polite, Miss? It's okay, come on, it doesn't hurt to get Miss to see if she's dead! As he spoke, he rushed up directly and shouted: "Marry me, I really like you, Shen Xian, you can marry me!" ”

"Presumptuous! disturbed His Majesty's birthday, can Xiao Gongzi afford it? Don't stop yet! ”

Xiangnong also hurriedly blocked in front of her: "If Xiao Gongzi comes forward again, the slave will call someone!" ”

Xiao Cheng didn't know how much wine he had drunk, and now he didn't have any reason at all, seeing Shen Xian was like a mouse seeing butter, Shen Xian was so frightened by him that she turned around and was about to run.

Even if she dies, even if she dies alone, don't marry this person!
