Chapter 41: The Family Feast
On the day when the Holy Lord invited Shen Yuanhe, it was actually the original palace family banquet, but now it is not to let the Shen family sit on an equal footing with them?
Xiao Hui took a lot of effort to have such an opportunity, she Shen Xian didn't do anything, she just got it with a brother who won the champion.
She pursed her lips and didn't speak.
Zhao Baolin suddenly thought of something, looked at Xiao Hui cautiously, and said softly: "Don't blame me for being too talkative, that Shen Xian is the most cunning, she is obviously pursuing King Xuan, but who knows who she is aiming for?" You'll have to watch the three princes closely. ”
Xiao Hui frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Baolin coughed lightly: "I also heard from others, saying that not long ago, Shen Xian and the third prince were in the western suburbs of the racecourse, although His Royal Highness King Xuan is also there, but how can there be such a coincidence?" And Shen Xian stayed for a long time before leaving, and after coming back, she didn't leave the house for several days, who knows what happened at the racecourse that day. ”
Xiao Hui's hand hidden under the wide sleeve gradually clenched into a fist, and Kodan pinched it fiercely into his palm.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, you know?"
Xiao Hui was born in the end, and stared at Zhao Baolin with gloomy eyes for a while, and the latter hurriedly nodded in fright.
Shen Xian also knew that Xiao Hui was also there that day, so she specially ordered someone to make a new style of palace dress, which was glamorous but beautiful, and it was even more dazzling when worn on her.
Although she thought that she could win Xiao Hui even with her face alone, she just had to be perfect in everything, so that Xiao Hui couldn't find anything to say.
On the day of the banquet, Aunt Wei cried and found Shen Chongyuan and wanted him to bring Shen Yao with her, but Shen Yao stood aside silently and could see that she was not willing to go.
can look at Aunt Wei's posture, if she didn't bring Shen Yao today, she would plan to cry to death here.
Ye Hao rolled her eyes: "Can you change your problem of crying when you encounter something, when you were young, you were called Pear Blossom with Rain, but now it's a torrential downpour, and you don't know where to hide." ”
"Madam, I don't want anything else from the concubine, I just want Yao'er to follow you to see the world, even if it is brought into the palace as a maid!"
Shen Xian lowered her face coldly and glanced at Ye Hao.
said: "Aunt Wei's words are really abrupt, not to mention whether A-Yao is willing or not, just to say that if she, as a young lady of the Guogong Mansion, brings her into the palace as a maid and falls into the ears of others, won't the Guogong Mansion become a laughing stock?" ”
Aunt Wei was stunned.
Thinking resentfully, the biggest laughing stock in the entire Kyoto City is Shen Xian now, how can she be embarrassed to say others?
But she didn't dare to say anything, just lowered her head and cried.
Shen Chong's old man was embarrassed: "Otherwise, Yao'er will follow together." ”
Ye Hao turned her head and glared at Shen Chongyuan, and then immediately pulled her son and daughter into the carriage, Shen Chongyuan wanted to chase but was dragged by Aunt Wei for a while.
When he came out with Shen Yao, Ye Hao immediately asked the coachman to drive the horse, and let Shen Chongyuan and Shen Yao take a carriage by themselves.
Shen Xian glanced at the carriage following behind her and frowned: "Mother, isn't this appropriate?" ”
"Is your dad doing what he did? Shen Yao is a concubine who doesn't understand anything, what if she collides with the saint when the time comes? How many heads do you and I have available? ”
Shen Xian pulled her lips and stopped talking, looked up and looked at Shen Yuanhe and smiled helplessly.
Where was Ye Hao angry that Shen Yao entered the palace, she was angry that Shen Chongyuan actually defended Aunt Wei in front of her.
Today's palace family banquet, all the royal family members came, and the courtiers were also Shen Chongyuan's family.
When their family arrived, a group of princes and princesses were waiting in the Golden Jade Hall early, there were many heirs of the saint, there were seven or eight princes alone, and there were more than ten princesses, among which the eldest princess and the second princess had already married, the third princess and the fourth princess were married and kissed, and the fifth princess was the boss in the palace.
Shi Ling sat alone drinking wine, no one dared to come forward to speak, Shi Yanyuan and several brothers were talking and laughing, and Xiao Hui followed Shi Yu to talk to others.
Shi Ying was strange today, she didn't talk to any of her sisters, she sat obediently in her position, her eyes looked towards the door of the hall from time to time, and when she heard that the Shen family was coming, she suddenly looked at the door of the hall with her eyes shining.
Stepping into the threshold with one foot, Shi Ying was almost about to stand up, who knew that it was not Shen Yuanhe who came in, it was her father and mother.
A delicate face suddenly collapsed.
Emperor Hongzheng was stunned, and immediately crossed his waist and stopped to look at Shi Ying: "Xiao Wu, what kind of expression do you have?" Seeing that the father is not happy? ”
"How dare you?"
"And what's your expression?"
"I..." Shi Ying bit her lip: "Erchen just wants to see if Shen Xian is here, I want to play with her." ”
As soon as the words fell, the chamberlain happened to lead the Shen family's Golden Palace, and Shen Xian naturally heard what Shi Ying said, and looked surprised.
Why didn't she know when she had such a good relationship with Shi Ying?
Emperor Hongzheng naturally didn't take this kind of thing to heart, he looked back with a smile, the Shen family hurriedly saluted, and after getting up, Emperor Hongzheng first exchanged a few words with Shen Chongyuan, and then was looked at Shen Yuanhe.
Nodding his head in appreciation, he said, "What a young talent." ”
"I read your article, it's well written, this time the topic was drawn up by me personally, and among so many candidates, only you answered into my heart, saying, what reward do you want?"
Shen Yuanhe said slowly: "The minister has no worries about food and clothing, and there is no reward he wants, if Your Majesty distributes the rewards to the ministers to the people, in this way, the ministers have also accumulated virtue through Your Majesty's light." ”
Emperor Hongzheng immediately laughed when he heard what he said.
looked at Shen Chongyuan and said with satisfaction: "Your son teaches well!" After speaking, he glared at his own sons, and said coldly: "It's much better than my rebels." ”
"How dare you compare with Your Highnesses, Your Highnesses are graceful and talented, and the children are just a few more years old."
"Modesty what? When I say it's good, it's good. After speaking, he directly pulled Shen Chongyuan to sit in front of him, saying that he wanted to discuss with him how to raise his children.
The queen could only beckon everyone to sit down.
Because it was a family banquet, there were not so many rules, Shen Xian originally wanted to find a position close to Shi Ling, but who knew that she was preempted by Shen Yuanhe as soon as she wanted to run over.
"Brother, can you let me sit in this position?"
Shen Yuanhe raised his eyebrows: "Don't let it." ”
Shen Xian pouted unhappily, and the next moment she heard Shen Yuanhe laugh: "If King Xuan has a heart, it should be him who came to you." ”
Shen Xian blinked.
But this trick is useless for Shi Ling, if this person can take the initiative, the pigs can go up the tree.
Shen Xian deliberately leaned back a little, secretly watching what Shi Ling was doing.
Shi Ling Yuguang felt that someone was peeking at him, and looked down to see a plate of spicy rabbit meat on the table, so he moved his chopsticks to put the rabbit meat into his mouth, and made it very delicious.
Shen Xian saw that he had eaten rabbit meat, and immediately thought of that dream again, her cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly sat down and looked away.
Don't think about it, don't think about it! It's just a coincidence that there's a plate of rabbit meat!
She's not the rabbit, what's the tension?
Small Theatre:
Shen Xian: How can you eat bunnies!
Shi Ling: Yes, this rabbit is quite cute, it should be sprinkled with more cumin.
