Chapter 55: Make amends
The winter days are short, and Mo Chengying is afraid to ask Shen Yangui to wait, so he hurries back to the house.
Shen Yan returned to the desk and concentrated on reading, he took off his robe and warmed up in the room for a while before sitting cross-legged behind her.
"Madame is so serious, is she busy rushing for the next palace exam?"
His hands wrapped around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and his eyes fell on the book, "If you enter, you will not be able to fight at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign troubles, are you looking at Mencius?" ”
Shen Yangui slapped his hand with the book through his clothes, "Don't make trouble, itchy." ”
"Where is the itch? I'll scratch it for you. ”
Mo Chengying intensified, "Here? Or is it here? ”
"Ha, haha...... It's annoying, hahaha, don't bother me while I'm reading. Shen Yangui was afraid of itching, and he couldn't hide from it, so he could only smile and threaten, "I'll be angry." ”
Mo Chengying sighed, "As ruthless as you, if you become a female champion in the future, the first thing you have to do is to execute your husband?" ”
Shen Yangui knew that he was teasing himself, wiped the tears of laughter, and followed his words: "My Royal Highness the Regent, who in this world dares to execute you?" ”
"According to your meaning, if I am not the regent, you will be the Shen Shimei, abandoning your husband and son?"
Mo Chengying leaned into her arms, wiped the corners of her eyes with her clothes, pretended to cry, and looked like a little daughter-in-law, "Just pity my Mo Xianglian, no one hurts or loves, just like a little cabbage in the field." ”
Shen Yangui really couldn't cry or laugh.
She put down the book and tapped him twice on the back with her hand, "Do you have something to tell me?" ”
"I really can't hide anything from my wife." Mo Chengying took a deep breath and looked at Shen Yangui with a bright smile, "I want you to accompany me to go shopping." ”
"There is no shortage of food and clothing in the house, why do you need to go shopping?"
"Lack - how can it not be lacking? I see that your clothes are old. Mo Chengying tugged at Shen Yangui's clothes and said, "Wrinkled, I don't know if I thought something happened to the Regent's Palace, and I actually dressed the princess in some tatters." ”
Shen Yangui: "......"
Shen Yangui's clothes are all newly made after entering the mansion, how can they be old?
That's obviously what he just crumpled!
Mo Chengying stroked her clothes and said: "Although the tribute materials are good, they are too dignified but lack some aura, I heard that the daughters in Beijing love to go to the Splendid Workshop to make clothes and go to the Treasure Pavilion to make jewelry, let's also go and take a look." ”
Shen Yangui didn't speak, she closed the book and wiped her hand twice on the cover.
After a little thought, he asked, "Are you going to take me to the eldest princess's banquet?" ”
Mo Chengying took out the red gilded invitation, "Ah Kite sent someone to the house to say?" ”
"A kite? The eldest princess of Lin'an? No. ”
Shen Yangui took the invitation post, opened it and looked at it, it was written as a plum banquet.
Mo Chengying asked, "Then how do you know?" ”
"Guess."
"Madame is like a god." Mo Chengying immediately took Shen Yangui's hand over, "Let Weifu see, what is hidden between these fingers?" ”
Shen Yangui only thought that Mo Chengying was busy with government affairs all day long, that is, he remembered what to send to himself, and he ordered the people in the house to do it, and today he suddenly said that he was going to go shopping, and he should be going to a banquet later.
But if it was a formal banquet, he wouldn't say anything like being dressed too modestly.
And the only person who can invite his regent to the informal banquet is probably the eldest princess of Lin'an.
Shen Yangui said his thoughts, and said: "Everyone in Beijing knows that the regent is selfless and his six relatives do not recognize him, except for the eldest princess of Lin'an. ”
"Would you like to go, then?"
Shen Yangui silently closed the invitation post, "There are plum blossoms in our house, and the prince is busy with official business, so why bother to seek the near and far?" ”
Mo Chengying hugged her, "The winter solstice is as big as a year, and the morning is closed for three days, and Ah Kite invites Miss Jingzhong nobles, it should be very lively at that time." ”
"It's not that my husband doesn't know, I don't like to join in the fun."
Where there are many people, there is right and wrong, instead of wasting time on irrelevant people, it is better to read two more military books and practice two sets of marksmanship.
Shen Yangui picked up the book again.
"Qingqing." Mo Chengying paused, his tone was full of apology, "On the day I got married, I hung you at the door and didn't worship you, so that you were laughed at, and I always couldn't stand you in my heart." ”
"So what?" Shen Yangui joked, "Is it possible that my husband wants to apologize to me in public?" ”
"Not impossible."
"No need, it's over."
"But ......"
"Didn't my husband say that in my previous life, I waited for many days in the mansion before he recognized me, and he came to look for me as soon as he was reborn? That's enough. ”
The matter of rebirth is still too dreamy for Shen Yangui, but Mo Chengying is conclusive every time he mentions it, anyway, whether he is reborn or not is not hindered by his current life.
She is not a person who can't tell the difference, Mo Chengying is first the regent, and then her husband.
Even looking at the many cares he took for his mother and sister, she really didn't need to worry about the day of marriage with him.
Shen Yangui turned a page of the book, and said unconcernedly:
"People who want to laugh at me can find reasons to laugh at me, and people who don't want to laugh at me, no matter what kind of predicament I am in, will not laugh at me, we really don't need to be swayed by the words of unrelated people."
Having said that, he didn't do it right, God didn't tell him to be reborn a few hours earlier, he couldn't change the past, he always had to make up for something.
"You have been stuffy in the house, unwilling to go out to meet people, it's always bad, the plum garden on the outskirts of Beijing is very large, you can enjoy the snow in the snow, and you can hunt on a sunny day, I remember that you used to be very good at archery, and you wore Yang in a hundred steps."
"What kind of hunting in the winter? It's better to bake sweet potatoes at home. ”
Shen Yangui means that it is too cold, hunting and freezing hands and feet.
Mo Chengying didn't understand, "There are a lot of hares over there, and there are pheasants. ”
He said: "The plum garden in the suburbs of Beijing was originally mine, Ah Kite begged with a dead face, you go with me to take a look, if you like it, I will drive her away, and wait for the summer, let's go to the summer alone." ”
Mo Chengying also knew that Shen Yangui was reluctant to go out, otherwise with his temperament, he would put the invitation card in front of her when he entered the door.
He hugged Shen Yangui and said softly: "Before I went to the barracks, I was left in a remote cold palace and raised by the palace maid.
Although she is a niece, she is more like my sister because of her age, and there are many royal blood relatives. ”
Speaking of this, he raised a hand and said to the window: "Most of the brothers and sisters of my generation and her generation died under my hands, and among the living, she is the only one I can recognize." ”
The process of power struggle is destined to be bloody and dirty.
The most intense year of the succession was the year after Mo Chengying returned to the court, when the emperor was already terminally ill and had no more time, so Mo Chengying could take control of the situation in the court and slowly accumulate power.
He had to rely on the simplest and most brutal way to get support.
At that time, the court was gone, and tomorrow the courtiers were cut down.
The entire capital was shrouded in black clouds, and even the wind was full of the smell of blood, and everyone was in danger.
Although the eldest princess of Lin'an is a female streamer, when Mo Chengying lacked skills, she led the soldiers to guard the palace gate with a knife and cut off the queen for him.
Aside from other reasons, Mo Chengying also wanted to call herself, the only relative, to meet her lover.
Shen Yangui took Mo Chengying's hand down, "I'm just afraid that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will not like me." ”
