[Rebirth] Sovereign and ministers get along

In the past two months, the Jing Ning Palace has been continuously rewarding, and almost everyone in the mansion believes that the second young lady is going to enter the palace to serve the Holy Majesty.

Therefore, seeing the imperial envoy delivering the imperial decree from afar, Shen Fang, the housekeeper who got the letter, hastily ordered the boy to go to the second gate to deliver the letter to the old man and his wife.

Shen Fang stayed in the concierge and ordered the National People's Congress to open the middle door, set up an incense table, prepare tea and snacks, and wait for the imperial envoy.

In the inner courtyard, Shen Yueshi got the letter and personally went to the backyard of Xiuzhuyuan to release Second Miss Shen who was restrained by Shen Shuo.

The teachings of the two nuns for more than a month have been quite effective. When Second Miss Shen saw Shen Yueshi respectfully greeted her, even when she heard that there were imperial envoys outside the door, she did not show any signs of color. Honestly changed into a set of plain and dignified clothes.

Shen Shangkun and Shen Yueshi brought Second Miss Shen to the gate, and the imperial envoy just happened to enter the mansion.

Yue Yu gave the Duke of Wei a lot of face, the imperial envoy who came to deliver the decree was not a servant, but Su Shuosu's younger brother, Yushi Su Song.

The brothers of the Su family and the children of the Shen family had many disagreements, and it can be proved that the two families have never had any grudges.

However, the Shen family is an aristocratic family for more than a hundred years. Two of the Su Shuo brothers are poor scholars. There are many children from the aristocratic family, coupled with the fact that literati are favored, and most of the Shen family children who look like good guys have become the first choice of the Su family brothers.

Su Songnian is twenty-seven years old, with a square square face, slender eyes, and an official aloofness.

Entering Shen's mansion, I met the Duke of Wei, Shen Shangkun. From the corner of my eye, I glanced at Shen Yueshi who was wearing court clothes, and the second Miss Shen who was pretending to be reserved, and a trace of sarcasm crossed his lips: "Your Majesty congratulates Duke Wei. .”

"Same joy, same joy." Shen Shangkun cupped his hands cheerfully, "Master Su, should we announce the decree first, or sit in the living room first?"

Su Shuo lowered his head and brushed off his robe: "Duke Wei, please allow me to go to the living room to ask for a cup of tea."

After walking two steps, Fang suddenly realized something and turned back to Shen Fang and said, "I have to hurry up and find your young master, this edict is for him."

Second Miss Shen's expression changed suddenly, and she followed Shen Yueshi back to the inner courtyard dumbly.

On the contrary, Shen Shangkun breathed a sigh of relief, and led Su Song into the living room with his expression unchanged.

At this time, Shen Lanqing was listening to the piano with Geng Yanbai in Miaoyin Pavilion.

The Geng family has always been neither party nor group, however, since seeing Liuxianju, the third young master of the Geng family, Yan Bai, has shown a lot of kindness to Shen Lanqing intentionally or unintentionally.

Shen Lanqing was naturally happy to make friends with each other, and when they talked about poetry, prose and Danqing, they shared similar interests and had a good chat, and gradually became close friends who could be called brothers.

Master Linfeng of Miaoyin Pavilion is famous for his piano skills and is well-known in the capital. However, he is only willing to appear on stage once a month, and the time of appearance is uncertain.

Therefore, many people who are obsessed with Master Linfeng's piano art will stay in the Miaoyin Pavilion when they have time, just to try their luck.

Today, Geng Yanbai and Shen Lanqing were lucky, before the pot of wine was exhausted, Master Linfeng came on stage.

Master Linfeng covered his face with a light veil, his eyes were dust-free, and he sat down in front of the piano table without even casting a glance on the stage.The audience came rushing towards Young Master Linfeng, staring at Young Master Linfeng cleansing his hands and burning incense without blinking.

Shen Lanqing shook her head and laughed: "The posture is quite good, but I just don't know how to play the piano."

"It's not bad." Geng Yanbai curled his lower lip, "The only piano sound I've heard so far can be compared to Mr. Lin who has been a luthier in Lancui Pavilion for two days."

"Oh?" Shen Lanqing raised his eyebrows, and Master Linfeng on the listening stage wiped the strings of the piano, stopped his mouth at the right time, and listened quietly.

After a song, Shen Lanqing thought about it for a moment: "It's really good, but it's a pity that it's a little less popular."

"Jiu Si doesn't know how to play the qin, but he is an expert in listening to the qin." Geng Yanbai looked at Shen Lanqing with clear eyes.

Shen Lanqing replied with a tacit smile, and just about to speak, Cao Fu, a servant of the Shen residence, came up to him in a low voice: "Young master, the imperial envoy has come to the residence to deliver an order, the old master told you to go back quickly."

Those who should come will always come. I also know that the Holy Majesty has finished tossing about the Longevity Festival, and finally remembered the reward mentioned before.In the previous life, the Holy Majesty gave him a marriage with the daughter of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. In this life, I don't know what kind of wife he will reward him.

Shen Lanqing regretted saying goodbye to Geng Yanbai, but Geng Yanbai didn't care much, and waved his hands to let him go with a smile, so that Shen Lanqing couldn't help thinking about Geng Yanbai's abnormal and quite meaningful smile all the way.

He always felt that Geng Yanbai's smiling face was a bit intriguing.

Soon Su Song solved his doubts for him.

The imperial decree is indeed the imperial decree of bestowing marriage, and the woman is the eldest granddaughter of Geng University scholar and Geng Yanbai's real niece.

No wonder he laughs like that. Isn't this just a generation up in an instant, from a brother to an uncle?

For this fiancée who fell from the sky, Shen Lanqing didn't have too many thoughts, he just felt suddenly, no wonder the senior scholar Geng looked at him so strangely and critically recently.

But Shen Shangkun and Shen Shuo were extremely satisfied.

The Geng family is well-matched, and the eldest granddaughter of his family is enough to be the future wife of the Shen family. What's more, when the Empress Dowager held a flower appreciation banquet, among the daughters of the family, the youngest of the Geng family was the one who liked Shen Yue the most. eldest granddaughter.

More importantly, the eldest son of the Shen family did not marry a daughter of the Yue family, and it seemed that the second young lady of the Shen family did not have to enter the palace.

Because, of the remaining four decrees, except for the one that entered the Geng family, which was the same as the Shen family's marriage decree, the remaining three decrees all came from Jingning Palace.

Together, the eldest daughter of the Lian family will be the queen, and they will get married on the sixth day of August next year.

The other two named the second daughter of the Yin family and the eldest daughter of the Su family as Concubine Shu and Concubine De, and they were also brought into the palace on the sixth day of August next year.

On this day, which ones are happy and which ones are sad?

Since Second Miss Shen learned that Su Yushi's order was not for her, she went back to the backyard in boredom.

Even if Shen Shuo opened his mouth to avoid her being grounded, she only appeared in front of people during the meal, and she looked a little numb.

Jingning Palace.

After accompanying the Empress Dowager Zhou for dinner, Yue Yu put down his chopsticks and rinsed his mouth: "Empress Mother, since you have no intention of accepting the second daughter of the Shen family into the palace, why give her those rewards back?"

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled lightly: "If the Ai family doesn't reward her one after another, how can those who want to marry the Shen family be deterred?"

Yue Yu raised his eyebrows: "Mother, could it be..."

"The old lady of the Yao family in the Zhongzheng Duke's mansion fell in love with the second daughter of the Shen family, and she will be the continuation of the second master from his family..." Queen Mother Zhou said leisurely, "How can the Ai family not fulfill her?"

"It's just that, with the Shen family's family status, if there is no accident, they will definitely not let their daughter be a continuation..." The Queen Mother Zhou lowered her eyes, quietly admiring the ups and downs of the buds in the cup, "Aijia I had no choice but to give it a push, and it just happened to cut off the emperor's thoughts on the second daughter of the Shen family."

No matter how high-minded Miss Shen is, so what?In the end, I couldn't resist God's will.

He tried his best to get into the eyes of the Empress Dowager, but all he had was joy and numbness.

The next day, Shen Lanqing put on her purple official uniform and was about to enter the palace to thank her.

Passing by the water pavilion in front of Xiuzhuyuan, I saw a red shadow sitting in the water pavilion, staring blankly at the Wang Lianzi in the pool, completely lost the brilliance and agility of the past.

Shen Lanqing frowned, and ordered the hidden Qingyun: "You stare at the second young lady in the dark, don't let her do anything stupid."

"Yes." Qingyun replied, quietly hiding on the rockery by the bank, looking at Second Miss Shen across the water.

"Idiot, why bother?" Shen Lanqing sighed softly.

The eyes stuck behind Shen Lanqing's back paused, Shen Yi lowered his eyes and retracted his eyes, then raised his eyes again, and returned to his calm state.

Shen Lanqing was completely unaware of Shen Yi's changes.

Since the day when Shen Yi was punished in the ancestral hall, after Shen Yi showed such emotion, he put away the intimacy when he was practicing martial arts together before, and deliberately opened the distance between the two of them.

For the sake of Shen Yi, the little Taoist once wanted to beat him up in righteous indignation, but was beaten back by Shen Yi. The little Taoist jumped his feet in anger, and would rather be beaten miserably. He was also reluctant to greet Shen Yi a little bit.

From this point of view, the self in the previous life is not ridiculous, there are countless idiots in this world.

In the previous life, I received the marriage gift, and when I thanked her, I couldn't hide the bitterness in my heart.

In this life, when I received the decree of marriage, when I thanked you, my heart was calm, and even after I thanked you, I still remembered the words of the narrow-minded sage: "Thanks to your majesty's blessings, I have a marriage contract ahead of my second sister."

A warm smile, clear eyes.

A set of luxurious purple official clothes was actually worn by Shen Lanqing with an indescribable romantic meaning.

Yue Yu stared at Shen Lanqing, and slowly raised the corners of his lips: "Shen Qing."

"The minister is here."

"If a suitable person comes to propose marriage, you might as well ask Mr. Shen to make a decision for Lingjie..." Yue Yu's smile deepened, "If Lingjie doesn't marry, it's not good for Shen Qing to marry Miss Geng. Zizheng has been thinking about it since a long time ago. It's your niece and son-in-law."

"..." To put it bluntly, with the rewards from the Empress Dowager before, who would dare to come to propose marriage?Shen Lanqing was speechless, but she could only make a gesture that a young man should have when being teased, and smiled innocently and slightly embarrassed.
