Chapter 44 Welcome to the Holy Drive

The next morning, Shen Jing woke up with a splitting headache.

As soon as he woke up, he smelled the strong smell of alcohol in the tent. He supported his head and sat up with a frown. come to mind.Shen Jing doesn't remember much, vaguely she stopped Zhao Heng and insisted on talking to him...

When I think about it, my heart suddenly feels ashamed——

He covered his face and sat in the tent, not knowing what to do for a long time: this time is good, this time is good, how will he behave in the future, how can he face Zhao Heng again?

It would be great if Xiaoyou was here, he can still talk to Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou will definitely be able to comfort him, and make him feel better... But now Xiaoyou is not in the account, and he will probably wake up early Zhao Heng went to wait on him.

No matter how embarrassing, I still have to go out to meet people.

In the end, Shen Jing tidied herself up, patted her face to cheer herself up, and left the tent as if nothing had happened.

Military discipline is strict everywhere in the camp, and the patrolling guards line up neatly, just like in the past.He fetched water to wash up first, and was just about to go to the kitchen to find some soft food to fill his stomach, when he saw Cao Feng walked in with a person, full of energy.

Shen Jing hurriedly got up and saluted: "Lord Cao."

Cao Feng gestured to the guard with the tray behind him, and then smiled and said, "The cooks in the camp can eat dead people. This is made in a small stove for the prince. You should try it. Eat something soft after drinking." , the spleen and stomach are more comfortable."

Shen Jing listened, and smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, Mr. Cao. I was so rude last night, and I made everyone laugh."

"Don't mention it." Cao Feng laughed and sat down in the tent, "I just came to accompany you—I didn't intend to make you drunk, I even greeted Xiaoyou before and asked you what Drinking capacity, whoever thinks it is—well, I made a mistake anyway, so don't take it to heart."

While pouring tea for Cao Feng, Shen Jing said with a smile: "No, no, Mr. Cao, you are being polite. I really didn't drink too much last night, probably because I have been running around for a long time and my body hasn't recovered yet. It's too strong to drink. Don't take it to heart, my lord."

"Just don't take it to heart. But I don't think you are a narrow-minded person." Cao Feng said with a smile, "On the contrary, Your Highness, when you came out of my tent last night, the look in your eyes made me want to tremble—hey Shen Sir, when I bring it up in the future, you must speak kindly to me in front of Your Highness. According to his very protective temper, I'm afraid Your Highness will have to get this place back for you sooner or later."

Shen Jing smiled: "Honestly, Mr. Cao."

Cao Feng: "What?"

Shen Jing smiled again: "The facts of last night are embarrassing. In fact, I really want His Highness to help me find this place for me."

Cao Feng: "..." What's going on with this Shen Jing, who obviously seems to be a gentle and honest person... right?

Shen Jing glanced at him and laughed: "I'm just kidding. Mr. Cao won't take it seriously, will he?"

Cao Feng put down the tea bowl, took a careful look at Shen Jing, and clicked his tongue twice: "You just looked at me, and I was so scared--how about it, I will hold a special banquet to apologize to you some other day, and let Xiaoyou be with you, okay right?"

The two chatted a few more words, then quietly looked out of the tent: "It seems to be extraordinarily quiet outside today."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Cao Feng said, "Today Shengjia will arrive in Guide, His Highness brought people to meet him."

Shen Jing: "..."

It's useless to talk about it for a long time, but Cao Feng forgot to tell himself about such a big thing?

He just thought that Cao Feng was dressed very energetically today, but only then did he notice that Cao Feng was wearing a full set of fourth-rank eunuch flying fish costumes, a black silk painted gold hat on his head, and a jade belt around his waist. So grand.

"Why didn't Mr. Cao accompany His Highness to greet the holy driver?"

"There must be no commander in the army. Since His Highness is gone, I have to stay behind." Cao Feng smiled, "Speaking of which, His Highness is indeed protecting his weaknesses. It is such a big matter to welcome Sheng Jia, in fact, Xiao You said to wake you up in the morning Go, I was stopped by His Highness, saying that you were drunk last night and asked you to sleep more."

"..." Is this considered a shortcoming?Maybe it's just because he's afraid of embarrassing him?

"Okay, let's not say more, you should eat some hot padding, and you may not be able to take care of the welcome at noon. Calculate the time, they will be back at noon, I have to watch the whole team welcome That's right." Cao Feng stood up as he spoke, and turned around when he walked to the door of the tent, "Yes, I almost forgot. Before your Highness left, let me tell you that if you wake up early, you can go to the kitchen to make some Bean paste cake. If it’s too late, forget it. You just have to go to His Highness’s Xiaozao.”

Shen Jing: "...Thank you for telling me, I understand."

After he drank the porridge Cao Feng sent him, he hurried to the kitchen and worked for a long time to make two baskets of bean paste cakes.

This bean paste cake was made with extra care, because Shen Jing was a little skeptical, Zhao Heng wanted to give the emperor a taste of this bean paste cake...Thinking of this, Shen Jing suddenly felt extremely terrified.

But when he ate delicious food, he wanted to give his brother a taste too. Prince Yu like this made him feel a little... quite cute.

As Cao Feng expected, at noon, a large group of people came from the north.

In the welcoming team, Shen Jing followed Cao Feng all the way.

Back then, when he first saw Prince Zhao Heng's dignified guard of honor, Shen Jing was greatly shocked; but seeing Sheng Jia Tianwei with his own eyes today, he finally realized, what is the majesty of the emperor.

The flags and flags are vast, the chariots and horses are swaying, the momentum is rumbling, and the dust covers the sky; the three-mile guard of honor, thousands of horses and horses, except for the sound of cars and hooves, there is no human sound at all.

After a long time after the guard of honor cleared the way, Jinding Yujia finally entered the gate of the camp.In front of the gate of the camp, there was an order from the vanguard officer, and tens of thousands of soldiers inside and outside the camp fell to their knees, shouting "Long live" and "Victory".

Shen Jing followed Cao Feng and knelt in front of the camp gate, seeing this situation and hearing this prestige, she couldn't help feeling a lot of pride in her heart.

Yu Jia drove into the camp gate slowly, knelt quietly behind Cao Feng, turned his head quietly, and peeked in the direction Yu Jia was going.

Unexpectedly, he happened to meet the eyes of Zhao Heng who was riding behind Yujia.

Shen Jing hurriedly retracted her head, remembering what happened last night... the pride in her chest disappeared in an instant.

However, Zhao Heng reined in his horse and stopped at the gate of the camp to take the lead, got off his horse, and walked up to Cao Feng and Shen Jing: "Your driver has passed, get up."

Seeing Cao Feng standing up, Shen Jing also stood up.He wanted to force himself to do nothing, but Zhao Heng took another step in front of him, looked him in the eyes, and asked deliberately: "Are you sober?"

"..."

Shen Jing felt a flame rising from her face, and she cleared her throat when she stabilized, and said, "I was rude last night, thank you Your Highness for not guilty. I'm fine now."

"En." Zhao Heng responded, still facing Shen Jing, raised his horsewhip and lightly touched Cao Feng's shoulder, his voice sounded like a smile but not a smile, "I'll hold a banquet another day, and find the venue for you. Go in."

After speaking, he turned around and strode towards the camp gate.

Cao Feng and Shen Jing hurriedly followed.

Zhao Heng was tall and long-legged, and he walked fast, leaving Cao Feng and Shen Jing behind in no time.After separating a distance that Zhao Heng could not hear, Cao Feng sighed to Shen Jing with a sad face, patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "...I am really doomed now."

After welcoming the holy driver, Shen Jing returned to her tent, not daring to move around, and stayed obediently for a long time.After lunch, I felt a little sleepy, thinking that since my status was low, I should be fine, so I took a nap.

Unexpectedly, after falling asleep for a while, Xiao You lifted the tent and rushed in, shaking him awake twice: "Mr. Shen! You have a big heart! Get up!"

Shen Jing sat up and rubbed her eyes: "Huh?"

Xiaoyou looked like that, wishing he could wake him up twice: "Your Majesty ordered you to go!"

Shen Jingsheng was frightened and woke up immediately: The emperor wants to see him?

After a period of chaos, Shen Jing followed Xiao You to the emperor's big tent. The guards in front of the tent were heavily guarded, and there was no sound of people.The eunuch in front of the imperial court carefully searched their bodies, and then let the two of them pass through; they entered the tent, and when they arrived at the imperial court, they kept their heads still without raising their heads, and just followed Xiaoyou's instructions, and followed Xiaoyou's etiquette.

He knelt on the ground, although he didn't raise his head, it was like a sharp edge was on his back, as if he could feel the sharp eyes falling on him and looking at him, only a moment later he heard a somewhat low voice calling him: "Get up."

Shen Jing followed Xiaoyou to thank her, but she still didn't dare to look up when she got up, and followed Xiaoyou to stand behind Zhao Heng's seat.I saw Zhao Heng turned around and smiled slightly at Shen Jing: "Your Majesty praised you just now, the dim sum you made tastes good."

Shen Jing's panic subsided a little, she bowed her head and saluted, "Your Majesty, thank you."

"You look and behave calmly, neither humble nor arrogant. You have a good eye for picking people." The majestic and gentle voice praised Shen Jing again, but asked Shen Jing in the next sentence, "I heard that the method of exchanging salt for food, and what else?" Is it also your credit that your prince's chronic illness has been relieved?"

Shen Jing hurriedly saluted again: "Don't dare to claim credit. It's His Highness's ingenious decision. The grassroots are nothing more than a trivial effort."

"That's right. Zheng Man, I'll watch it later." Zheng Man responded, and the emperor asked again, "It seems that he is a scholar. A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, where did he learn how to do this?"

Shen Jing carefully said: "Before my father passed away, the diet of Yaoshi was taken care of by the grass-roots people. Therefore, we will."

"Filial piety is commendable." The Holy One praised him again, and after a pause, he suddenly asked, "You also wrote the travel notes on the boating on the Qinhuai River?"

Hearing the words, Shen Jing looked up at Zhao Heng in astonishment.

Zhao Heng covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then took the words: "You can't escape the eyes of the emperor, that article is indeed written by Shen Jing. Just see it through the emperor, why bother to mention it."

Shen Jing heard the emperor slowly laughing above him and said: "Your style of writing has always been prudent and steady, how can I not see it? Seeing that you are doing it for my happiness, it is enough to not punish you for plagiarizing other people's articles." Forgive me."

After saying a few more words, His Majesty ordered to retreat first, and then Shen Jing came out of the tent with Xiao You.The moment Xie En got up on his knees, he boldly raised his head slightly and glanced up.

It was a face that was five points similar to Zhao Heng's, but thinner, pale with a faint sickness, subtle features, and a kind of burnout that was not caused by exhaustion in the face; the eyes were very sharp , but it is different from Zhao Heng's heroic sharp eyes.

Shen Jing walked out of the tent, walked slowly into her own tent, and only after entering the tent door did she realize that the clothes on her forehead, hairline, and vest were soaked.

After sitting in the tent for a while and drinking a few bowls of tea, my mood gradually calmed down. Just as I was thinking about changing my clothes, I saw Xiaoyou lifted up the tent and walked in, and sat opposite Shen Jing: "Oh, I'm exhausted. Yes. Thanks to Zheng Man who stayed by His Majesty's side back then. I can't do such a tiring job, so it's better to be more comfortable with His Majesty."

Shen Jing poured a bowl of tea and handed it to him: "Why did you come out and not wait in front of His Highness? His Highness also came out?"

"It's still inside, and we started arguing again. They kicked us all out." Xiao You drank the tea in a sip, and his tone was casual, as if he was used to disputes between the king of Yu and the emperor, "Don't say anything. These. You have a good face today, and the Holy Majesty is full of praise for you."

"Thanks for your kind words, Your Highness."

"But," Xiao You leaned forward, "What's the matter with the Qinhuai travel notes that the Holy Majesty mentioned? Why did His Highness copy you?"

"I was confused by the question at the time." Shen Jing said helplessly, and explained to Xiaoyou, "That time we took a boat trip to the Qinhuai River, and when I came back, I had nothing to do and wrote a small note. When I saw it, I was about to leave and told my friends to see it. I never thought that His Highness would send it to the Holy Majesty for a review."

After speaking, recalling the content of the travel note, she couldn't help frowning and sighing: "Your Highness is really... that thing that can't be put on the table, actually showed it to the Holy Majesty."

"That must be interesting!" Xiaoyou immediately got up in high spirits, and went to the desk in the account to search, "Show me if you have any ready-made ones! What's so interesting, can you give the Holy Majesty a book?" Amused!"

"It's in Nanjing, so I didn't bring it out." Shen Jing said helplessly, "I'll show it to you when I get back. Alas, Your Highness really—"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered what happened last night, and hurriedly asked Xiao Youdao: "I really drank too much last night, and I can't remember anything clearly—did you do something rude to His Highness? Alas! Alas! What a mistake to drink!"

"It's nothing. I'll tell you something, so you can rest assured." Xiaoyou laughed when he heard the words, "You saw His Highness, and His Highness was about to leave, so you stopped His Highness and said that you have something important to say." Tell your Highness. I will pull you to tell you to talk about it another day, but if you say no, you have to say—haha, I can’t see it, Shen Jing, you are very courageous and stubborn when you are drunk.”

"..." Shen Jing blushed, "And then? Didn't you say anything embarrassing?"

"Hahahaha!" Xiaoyou supported the table with one hand, covered his mouth with the other and laughed for a long time before continuing, "I don't know about that. Because we all went out afterwards—His Royal Highness is probably afraid that you will say something." What embarrassing words, in order to save your face in the future, all of us are ordered to go out."

"..."

"To be honest, I'm also very curious," Xiaoyou said with an attitude of watching the excitement, "You really don't remember what you said to His Highness in the tent last night? His Highness left in a hurry. I went out and ordered me to go in and help you. I didn't even bother to see his face—”

Shen Jing's face was full of frustration, and he put his hands on his forehead: "This man was really thrown into the Java Kingdom... It seems that only His Highness knows... I really don't remember——"

Putting down his hands for a long time, he sighed and felt a little better: "...Fortunately, only His Highness knows."

If it was Cao Feng, Xiao You would have seen it too, probably within a quarter of an hour, the tens of thousands of people in the camp would all know about it.
