Day by day, the palace lamps on the palace road are lit one by one, connected into one line after another, intertwined with each other like twine. Today's Taiye Pool is brightly lit, with colorful hanging flowers, incense, and empty seats just waiting for people to come.

In front of the palace gate, Shen Shirong turned over and dismounted, he walked to the carriage and stretched out his hand to help Shen Yao get out of the carriage. The two walked side by side, all the way to the Taiye Pool.

"Hello to all uncles, I haven't seen you so energetic for many years."

"Okay, well, Shi Rong has worked hard outside - next to this is ...... It seems that in the near future, you Wucheng Marquis Mansion will also have a wedding wine waiting for us to drink, hahaha. ”

The first person to talk was Xu Yong, the secretary of the military department, and the two have always known each other, and there is nothing to hide when they talk. Shen Shirong waved his hand again and again,

"Uncle Xu laughed, our family is going to hold a banquet, welcome my sister Shen Yao home, and invite everyone to come and cheer at that time."

Xu Yong paused for two seconds and then raised his wine glass and saluted, "Okay, I'll definitely go when I go back." But I haven't seen you in a long time, you kid need to have a drink with me now. Come on, let me see if your alcohol consumption is improving. ”

Shen Shirong responded, his eyes searched around, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he stopped a little palace maid who was passing by, "Little Neiren stay, please take my sister to her banquet, she is the first to come back for this kind of banquet." ”

Lu Zhuben lowered her head and hurriedly went to find Xie Wan, her footsteps suddenly stopped, she turned her head and looked around, and then met Shen Shirong's smiling eyes, stunned for a moment and hurriedly greeted her, "This is what slaves and maids should do, adults don't have to be polite." I don't know which family the lord is, slave and maid ......"

Shen Yao poked her head out from behind Shen Shirong and smiled shallowly, "We are from the Marquis of Wucheng's mansion." ”

Lu Zhu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Shen Yao's face at first glance, and forgot to say anything. Or did Shen Yao stretch out her hand and shake it in front of the green bead to bring her back to her senses, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Zhu hurriedly lowered his head and turned around to lead the way, his voice was vaguely flustered, "The seat of the Marquis Wucheng Mansion is here, Miss Shen is here, please." ”

Shen Yao twisted her eyebrows, glanced back at Shen Shirong, and immediately followed the pace of the green beads. When he arrived at the seat, he didn't wait for Shen Yao to say thank you, and then he couldn't see the figure of Lu Zhu anymore, only heard the screaming voice of the little yellow door, "The emperor has arrived, and the queen mother has arrived." ”

Shen Yao had no choice but to withdraw her looking gaze, and got up to salute together.

In the small pavilion by the Taiye Pool, Xie Wan commanded Lancao and Hongdai to make final adjustments to the hundreds of pots of Wei Zi, "By the way, move the three pots to the right a little more." ”

"Okay, good, that's all."

Xie Wan's afterglow skimmed the green beads that came in a hurry, and then waved her hand to signal Lancao and Hongdai to rest first, she turned around to greet the green beads, "Why did you come so slowly." ”

“！ You scared me to death. ”

Seeing that Lu Zhu was startled, and the whole person fell backwards, Xie Wan hurriedly reached out and pulled it, "What's wrong with this?" ”

Xie Wan stretched out his hand and gently patted Lu Zhu's back to smooth her breath, and pulled her to the side, but her hand was grabbed by Lu Zhu suddenly, and she looked back and twisted her eyebrows to question.

"I just saw a person who looked like you at the banquet, she said that she was the young lady of the Shen family of the Marquis of Wucheng's mansion, but she frightened me, so I quickly ran back."

The Marquis of Wucheng's mansion, one sentence set off a thousand waves. Xie Wan stiffened his lips and smiled, "There are more people in the world who look alike, but it's just a coincidence." It's still early, you can accompany me to see if there is any problem with the flowers and trees. ”

"It's really ......"

Without waiting for Lu Zhu's words to speak, Xie Wan interrupted her words and snorted, "Lu Zhu, that's the Marquis of Wucheng's mansion, how can you and I talk about it?" ”

Lu Zhu closed his mouth and nodded, "I see." ”

At the banquet, Empress Dowager Zhao and Xiao Mingze were already seated, and the atmosphere was just right after the three rounds of drinking.

"Today, I can hold a banquet in this Taiye Pool, all thanks to the dedication of all the Qing families to the country, among which the Shen family of Wucheng Marquis is even more indispensable, where is Shen Shizi?"

Empress Dowager Zhao suddenly spoke, her eyes searching around. Shen Yao and Shen Shirong stood up separately and walked to the hall together, "Minister Shen Shirong ......", "Folk Girl Shen Yao ......"

"Meet the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be happy for a long time."

Empress Dowager Zhao raised her hand with a smile, "No courtesy, the Shen family has worked hard to guard the border passes, so there is no need to stick to the subtleties." The girl next to Shen Shizi ...... Could it be that the most famous Yaochi doctor in the army? ”

Shen Yao hurriedly bowed down again, "Back to the Queen Mother, the people's daughter is indeed a military medicine woman, but she can't afford to be a medical immortal." ”

"This is a bad word, it is inevitable that the soldiers will charge into battle and shed blood and sacrifice, you have saved the dead and helped the wounded all these years, and the name of the fairy is also the recognition of the soldiers for you, so you don't have to be modest - emperor, what do you say."

Empress Dowager Zhao suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Mingze, who was sitting on the side. Xiao Mingze happened to raise the wine glass in his hand, and as soon as he stiffened, he raised his head and drank it all, leaning on the chair, and said casually

"What the queen mother said is very true, it is better to take this opportunity today to discuss the reward of meritorious deeds, what does the queen mother think."

Xiao Mingze laughed as he spoke, as much as he wanted, he didn't look as much as he wanted, which made Empress Dowager Zhao's brows unpleasant, but he still held back his temper

"Naturally, it is to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, Shen Shirong guarded the border and repeatedly defeated the enemy, loyal and courageous, led the history of Liangzhou Thorn, added the title of General of the Sixteenth Guard, specially named Chiayibo, and gave another hundred taels of gold. Shen Yao, the adopted daughter of the Marquis of Wucheng, has been practicing medicine with the army for several years, and has outstanding benevolence and virtue, and is specially named the county lord of Fu'an. Another pair of red jade drop bead earrings, ten cloud brocade. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao smiled a little, restrained the majesty of the past, and looked at the first two people with kindness, "How about this reward?" ”

The two bowed down together, but Shen Shirong didn't get up, but said, "The minister is grateful for the emperor's grace, but he doesn't dare to accept it." Liangzhou is bitterly cold, there is a shortage of materials, and the peace and tranquility of the border pass are inseparable from the efforts of every soldier. The minister did not dare to accept the title of gold, and implored His Majesty and the Empress Dowager to withdraw the title and allocate all the money to the border soldiers to supplement the military rations. ”

Shen Yao was about to kneel down when she saw this, but was stopped by Shen Shirong's look, she hesitated slightly, and bowed down, "The courtiers are also willing to exchange the pearl and green brocade for silver to replenish military resources, and make a little effort." ”

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Zhao smiled even more, she glanced at Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing stepped forward to help the two up, and listened to the Empress Dowager Zhao again, "The Shen family is righteous, just as General Shen said." May the border of my Dayan be peaceful, the people prosperous, and no longer suffer from war. ”

Xiao Mingze raised his eyebrows, in such a drama of being virtuous and loyal, he became a bystander. Xiao Mingze turned over and sat upright, "It is the luck of Yan to have General Shen in Yan State, I am grateful for the hard work of the border soldiers, and the Ministry of Household allocated 200,000 taels for military funds, so Chiayibo should not shirk anymore." ”
