An alpha's ancient life record

The next day they set off to return to Beijing. During this winter hunt, the rumored saber never appeared. Everyone thought it was His Majesty who had just done it. Unexpectedly, within a few days of returning to Beijing, an imperial decree suddenly came down from the palace.

Zizi sent Princess Yongnian to Xia Boyan, the second son of the Xia family. He only waited for the princess to grow up, and she was ordered to marry. Master Xia could not refuse. He had already accepted the imperial decree, and the saber was being rewarded.

The news spread, and there was a lot of discussion in Beijing. This is the first son-in-law today. Although the emperor can choose anyone, the Xia family's family status is not low, which is not particularly humiliating to the princess, but one is from a scholarly family, and the other is a noble princess. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't match. Does your majesty have any dissatisfaction with the honorable family?

Xia Boyan himself was also inexplicably shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning. He couldn't accept this fact, and pulled Shen Qingshu and the others to cry: "Why me, and how did you choose me?"

"The family background of the Xia family is nothing but ordinary, my father's official position is not high, and I myself am not outstanding. A lot of honorable children lined up to marry the princess. Why did His Majesty just give me the marriage?" ?”

He beat his head with a headache, really couldn't figure it out, this matter was obviously unreasonable.

Seeing his appearance, Meng Bozhou wanted to laugh a little, and said sarcastically, "Didn't you want Master Kunwu's sword before, isn't this just right, you got your wish."

Xia Boyan gave him a stern look, "It's your crow's mouth that you are still talking sarcastic remarks here."

"Hey, I don't accept what you say," Meng Baizhou made a stop gesture, "Your Majesty loves Princess Yongnian the most. I heard that she was allowed to choose her own husband. Maybe it's the princess who has taken a fancy to you."

"Impossible!" Xia Boyan denied loudly, "I'm just a scholar, I have no fame, no talent, ordinary looks, neither gentle nor considerate, why should the princess fall in love with me!"

Shen Qingshu was stunned by the side, for some reason, seeing his self-deprecating appearance, he always felt a little familiar.

This incident was also a bit unexpected to her. There are not many occasions when the princess can see Xia Boyan. She thought about it and guessed: "Was it during the winter hunting, when you wrestled?"

"No way, I'm a defeated general," Xia Boyan said with a bitter face, "You were so in the limelight the next day, and you never saw you. Is the princess blind?"

"Speak carefully!" Xia Bogui came in, and just heard this sentence, he frowned, stared at Xia Boyan, and there was a bit of anger in his usually warm eyes, "You are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, like this Arranging a woman behind the back, but what a gentleman does?"

"Brother, I..." Xia Boyan lowered her head timidly.

"I know that you feel dissatisfied, but although it is difficult for the son-in-law of this dynasty to advance in his official career, he has not completely banned being an official. You must know that now that the imperial decree has been issued, there is no room for change. Your words are heavenly, if you are not careful, you may die. It ruined Xia's family."

Xia Bogui sighed, and seeing his dejected face, he couldn't bear it, so he softened his tone and said earnestly: "Besides, relying on a few rumors, how can you be sure what kind of person the princess is, she is a golden branch and jade leaf, if you also have resentment in your heart, We will not get along well in the future.”

Xia Boyan stood silently with his head bowed for a while, and had to admit that what his brother said made sense, so he agreed.

The princess is a king, and he is a minister. No matter how reluctant he is, he can't show it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Shen Qingshu and the two couldn't stay any longer, so they comforted Xia Boyan and left.

There was nothing they could do about this matter, Shen Qingshu asked herself, if she had encountered this matter and asked her to marry another, she had already understood her own intentions, but her family was tied to her side, how would she fight against the imperial power?

I'm afraid there is no other way than begging His Majesty to take back his order. She once again experienced the supremacy of imperial power, and she can only be thankful that she was not favored by the princess.

This matter was discussed in Beijing for a few days, and then it gradually subsided without seeing the following. The weather was getting colder and colder. Everyone stayed at home and was not very willing to go out. It was not until the end of the year that the capital became lively again.

Shen Qingshu came out from Mr. Zheng to ask for advice. Along the way, he saw people buying new year's goods, all carrying large and small bags, with a smile on his face.

The New Year is almost the most important festival of this nation. When the old and the new are changing, the old is removed and the new is ushered in, and Vientiane is renewed. No matter how poor the family is, they will grit their teeth and scrape together money to cook a table of good meals that are rarely seen on weekdays.

When passing by a straw pillar with candied haws inserted, a child held his father’s clothes tightly, neither talking nor fussing, only his eyes were glued to the candied haws and could not be removed. His father lowered his body knowingly and knocked Knocked on his forehead, but still smiled and took out two pennies, bought a bunch of them, peeled them off and handed them over.

Shen Qing Shuli looked at it silently for a while, and was seduced by the bright red color, and suddenly felt a little greedy, so he took out the money and bought a bunch.

Well, sweet and sour.

Shen Qingshu ate while walking, and when he arrived at the door, he met Lin Weizhi coming back with old Mrs. Liu.

Seeing the things in her hands, old Liu couldn't help showing a smile on his face, "You child, where did you get this from?"

"I bought it myself." Shen Qingshu was a little embarrassed. She didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after being seen by her elders, she realized that she was now an adult man, and eating candied haws was too indecent.

Old Liu always spoiled her and didn't blame her. She shook her head with a smile and said, "Next time I want to eat, I'll make it in the kitchen."

Shen Qing agreed, and helped her walk in with Lin Weizhi. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and peach charms have already been pasted at the gate of Shen's residence. The Shen residence was completely new.

Old Liu said: "I have sent people to deliver the dress for tonight's palace banquet to your room. You must be careful not to make any mistakes when you are in the court."

The honorable ministers of this dynasty originally had to bring the old and the young together on New Year’s Eve, and enter the palace to accompany the emperor to celebrate the New Year. Later, the ancestors felt that it was too inconsiderate for people to enter the palace on New Year’s Eve, so they changed it to the night before New Year’s Eve. Just send people into the palace.

Men congratulated the emperor in the former court, while women visited the queen in the harem, and they all had to wear court clothes according to their grades.

Shen Qingshu was considered a young man before, and only when she inherited the title last year did she have the opportunity to congratulate the emperor. She did not have any advice from her male predecessors in this regard, and she would indeed make a lot of jokes. She also knew that Mrs. Liu was worried about her, so she just quietly listened to her orders , One by one.

When she returned to her yard, she hadn't finished eating the candied haws in her hand, Lin Weizhi couldn't help but glance over.

Shen Qingshu rolled his eyes and handed it over with a smile, "Do you want to eat it? It's very sweet."

She didn't mean that at all, Lin Weizhi looked at her helplessly, hesitated for a while, but still didn't refuse, and bit one of her hands.

In the evening, the family of four went to the palace for a banquet, and Shen Qingshu was alone, so he still went to find Xia Boyan. After he became a son-in-law, he would also go to the banquet with Lord Xia.

To be honest, the banquet in the palace is really meaningless, you have to pay attention to all kinds of rules, when the emperor waits until the dishes are cold, even the delicacies from mountains and seas are not delicious.

After finally waiting for the emperor to finish his speech, eat something and leave, the rest of the bosses are busy with socializing and entertaining, not to mention other things, wine is indispensable.

Shen Qingshu doesn't like drinking, but when she meets that kind of cautious person, she can't help but force herself to drink a little. This is one of the reasons why she wants to let it out.

She can't drink too much, so she had to add tea to the wine when no one was paying attention, so she could sustain herself. However, even so, after drinking too much, her mind gradually began to sink.

She stood up staggeringly, and said hello to Xia Boyan, "No, Bo Yan... I'll go to the toilet, you... give me a roof."

"Go, let's go." Xia Boyan waved his hand wordlessly, where is he going? Before he even started, Shen Qingshu was so drunk.

You can't walk around in the palace, and there are eunuchs to guide her. Shen Qingshu came out in a daze, and felt much better after being blown by the cool wind.

She looked back at the resplendent palace, and really didn't want to go back at all.

She didn't really want to go to the toilet, but just wanted to catch her breath, so she asked the eunuch to take her a long way around.

When crossing the corridor, she didn't pay attention to someone walking across from her, and bumped into him with unsteady feet.

"Beware!"

Fortunately, the other party was still alert and reached out to stabilize her.

"Sorry, I offended you." Shen Qingshu quickly apologized, and was so shocked that his drunkenness subsided a little. In the palace, who knows what noble person he would bump into.

Fortunately, the voice was a man, and she had just gathered herself up when the eunuch who led the way knelt down to pay his respects: "My slave bows to His Royal Highness Jian Wang."

King Jane?The emperor's own brother, isn't it? She was so unlucky that Shen Qingshu immediately broke out in cold sweat on his back, and had to kneel down to apologize, "I don't know if His Highness is in front of you. I hope that His Highness will forgive me, even if I didn't mean to offend him on purpose."

"It's okay, the sky is dark, and it's justifiable."

The corner of the python robe in front of her moved, Jian Wangxu helped her up, "Where is the Qing family?"

The incident was so sudden that he could only see Shen Qingshu's face clearly now, and he couldn't help being startled.

"Return to Your Highness, this subject is Shen Qingshu, the third generation heir of the Chengyi Mansion, and currently has no official position." Shen Qingshu respectfully responded, and did not hear King Jian's reply for a long time, so he glanced boldly and saw that he seemed a little In a daze, he called twice, "Your Highness, Your Highness?"

King Jian came back to his senses, "What did you just say?"

Shen Qingshu repeated it in a good-tempered manner, and King Jian smiled and said: "Oh, I must have come to attend the palace banquet, why did you come to this remote place?"

Shen Qingshu said honestly: "Your Majesty, I'm not going to hide it, I'm too drunk, so I came out to hide for a while."

"All the banquets in the palace are made of tribute wine, which is really unbearable." King Jian looked at the sky, and said again: "But the banquet has just begun, and your drinking capacity is indeed too shallow."

The two chatted for a few words, and Shen Qingshu found that His Royal Highness Jian Wang was quite easy to talk to. According to the rumors, he was very favored by His Majesty, because His Majesty was only a younger brother of a compatriot, who was several years behind, almost as if he favored his son Same.

But logically speaking, after talking about these few words, they should go their separate ways, but King Jian has not left, and her courtiers can't send them off respectfully.

After standing for a while without embarrassment, Shen Qingshu bit the bullet and said, "Thank you for your generosity just now, I don't know if Your Highness has anything else to tell me?"

"Oh, it's nothing, don't tell me that the king almost forgot, the emperor is still waiting for the king." King Jian looked at her for a while, and said with a smile: "Then Shen Qing, let's leave now."

Only then did Shen Qingshu heave a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "I respectfully send your Highness off."

After this incident, although she had a headache, she was fully awake, and she didn't dare to run around anymore, she just turned back, forget it, just drink the bar, it's better than offending some noble concubine or prince again.

The author has something to say: It’s a bit late again, QVQ is really too busy these days, but don’t worry, I will update a chapter every day, and I will ask for leave if I don’t.
