It was the fifth watch day and it was still dark. Shen You opened his eyes habitually.
When I wake up, I feel energetic.
It's a pity that he had to get up early to enter the palace and couldn't "muck around". Shen You felt quite regretful and quickly got off the bed and got dressed.
Feng Shaojun also woke up and called out "husband" in a daze.
Shen You looked back and saw blood almost gushing out from his nose. He quickly covered her with the quilt and said, "We are going to the East Palace for an audience today. It's time for us to get up."
Feng Shaojun's eyes flashed and he smiled sweetly.
Shen You lowered his head as if possessed by a demon...and quickly stood up in pain: "No, I'm going to take a cold shower."
Feng Shaojun burst into laughter.
There is serious business and it is really not appropriate to mess around. Feng Shaojun quickly dressed and dressed.
If you want to go to the palace for an audience, you have to be extra particular about what you wear. You don't have to be too charming, just dress up dignified and decent.
Mother Zheng dressed up her son herself. Feng Shaojun looked at himself dignified and beautiful in the mirror and was very satisfied.
Sure enough, Shen You went to take a cold shower and put on the royal guard uniform, with a long knife hanging on his waist, looking tall and handsome.
Well, he is already hers.
A secret joy flashed through Feng Shaojun's heart, and he stepped forward with a smile. Shen You naturally held Feng Shaojun's hand, and went to greet Mr. Feng together and had breakfast by the way.
Da Feng smiled and urged: "Hurry up and enter the palace before it's too late."
It took more than half an hour to ride a fast horse from Shen Mansion to the palace. It would be much slower if we took a carriage. In fact, Feng Shaojun can also ride a horse, and his riding skills are quite good. However, today he is dressed in a grand manner, so it is not convenient for him to ride a horse.
Shen You also rode in the carriage together.
An hour later, the carriage arrived outside the palace gate.
Shen You went to check his waistband first.
Since Xue Pan was beheaded, the people stationed at the palace gate have completely changed. Now when entering the palace, the rules have become more stringent. Not only do you have to check your waist badge, but you also have to search your body.
Feng Shaojun was a female family member. After being led into the palace gate, the palace officials carefully checked her.
There was a delay of about a stick of incense at the palace gate.
After the inspection was correct, Feng Shaojun and Shen You were able to enter the palace.
"It's not easy to enter the palace." Feng Shaojun whispered softly.
Shen You also whispered: "It's not easy to come in from outside the palace. I usually go in and out on errands, so it's not that troublesome."
Of course.
On weekdays, no one dares to stop His Royal Highness as he enters and exits the palace.
The East Palace is located to the east of the Imperial City, and is quite far away from the corridor.
Along the way, I met palace servants from time to time, as well as teams of patrolling guards.
Shen You's face is so recognizable. The newlywed wife next to him is soft and delicate, attracting a lot of attention.
Walk all the way to the East Palace.
When the chamberlain guarding the door saw Shen You, he immediately opened the palace door with a smile: "Please wait a moment, Guard Shen, and we will go and pass the news."
Shen You nodded slightly. It was a coincidence that a line of Donggong Jinyi guards came over for patrol and happened to bump into Shen You.
According to the rules of the palace, guards are not allowed to make noises when patrolling. It is okay to speak in a low voice occasionally. A tall and handsome guard smiled brightly and winked at Shen You.
The corners of Shen You's lips raised slightly and he nodded slightly at Shen Jia.
Feng Shaojun also found it funny.
Shen Jia's temper will never change.
"Why did you come into the palace if you weren't staying in the mansion?" Shen Jia came over and asked in a low voice.
Shen You replied in a low voice: "The Crown Prince ordered us and my wife to enter the palace."
Yes, Shaojun's cousin is here too.
Shen Jia wanted to ask again, but Fang Peng coughed lightly behind him.
Shen Jia quickly retreated.
Eunuch Yang, who had excellent eyesight, just pretended that he saw nothing, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Guard Shen, you lead your wife in with our family. As he said that, he glanced quickly, and he was secretly satisfied.
Our adopted daughter has a rosy complexion and a smile, which shows that her wedding day was sweet.
Feng Shaojun hadn't seen Eunuch Yang for several months, and he felt a little warm.
It is not appropriate to say too much at this time and place.
Feng Shaojun lowered his head slightly, looking docile and pleasant, and followed Eunuch Yang forward.
After a while, the young couple was led into the side hall.
The main hall of the East Palace is where business is discussed, and this side hall is where the prince and his wife summon people on a daily basis.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess sat at the top. Zhu Yun, who had been canonized as the grandson, sat next to the prince. The grandson Yuan Min, who was pregnant with Liujia, sat beside the crown prince.
When Yuan Min was four months pregnant, the imperial doctor diagnosed the twins' happy pulse. The entire East Palace and the Yuan family were very happy.
When the prince was King of Yan, he had only one son. The princess was injured during childbirth and could not regenerate, and the prince refused to accept the concubine. This matter is neither big nor small. It always makes people feel that the number of heirs in the East Palace is not prosperous.
Fortunately, Yuan Min had a good belly, and she was pregnant soon after she entered the house, and she was pregnant with twins.
In the past few months, Yuan Min had been focusing on raising her baby. Seeing that she was going to give birth at any time, she became even more cautious.
Therefore, the prince sent a message to the couple to come over. Yuan Min was quite surprised.
How could a mere bodyguard in brocade robes bring his newlywed wife to the palace to have such a grand ceremony? Even if Feng Shaojun was the daughter of the Vice Minister's Mansion, this ceremony would be too grand!
The princess did not think of this.
She looked at Feng Shaojun with great interest, and said to the prince with a smile: "The two of them are such a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They are so perfect together."
One is tall and handsome, the other is delicate and beautiful.
One is condensed and sharp, the other is as gentle as water.
The two stood side by side, one strong and the other soft, standing together in surprising harmony.
The prince glanced around and agreed with a smile: "They are indeed a perfect couple."
Eunuch Yang had a wink and immediately asked the palace attendants to bring the futon over.
When meeting the crown prince and princess "for the first time", it is also appropriate to kneel down and perform a full salute.
However, where does this subtle emotion in my heart come from?
Feng Shaojun and Shen You knelt down together and kowtowed three times: "Shen You (Feng Shaojun) has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
The princess smiled and said: "Get up quickly!"
And then be rewarded generously.
Feng Shaojun thanked him again for his kindness.
If the Crown Princess is rewarded, the Grand Concubine will naturally also be rewarded with some greeting gifts.
This meeting was like recognizing a relative.
A strange feeling flashed in Feng Shaojun's heart, and he thanked him again. Then he stood up and stood with his hands tied, his eyes lowered, and he looked gentle and well-behaved.
The prince saw this and secretly laughed.
This Feng Shaojun, when he was dressed as Feng San'er, he looked like a proud and arrogant chamberlain. Now he is dignified and decent, just like a lady.
The prince looked at Shen You calmly again.
Now that he is married, the coldness and loneliness in Shen You's eyebrows have faded a lot, and he looks more pleasing to the eye than before.
"Shen You," the prince didn't have the habit of beating around the bush and said straight away, "I asked you to enter the palace today because I have an errand for you."
"The troops stationed at the Jizhou Guard Station rebelled and civil unrest broke out. The imperial court sent General He with 20,000 soldiers to quell the rebellion. I plan to make you the deputy general and will set off in three days."
