Shen You, who has been tempered by the flames of war, has lost all his youthfulness. His temperament is cold and stern, and his eyes are like daggers, making people dare not look directly at him.
He also looked more and more like the powerful and illustrious Commander Shen in her memory.
Only when he looked at her did those black eyes shine so brightly.
Feng Shaojun's heart was filled with magma, and his face had to be kept in a just right happy color. He quickly lowered his head. If they kept looking at each other like this, she was really going to reveal her secret.
Shen You looked at her deeply and forced himself to look away.
The prince drank a lot of wine today and was in a good mood. He called Shen You into the study.
Grandson Zhu Yun naturally followed in.
The prince glanced at Zhu Yun and smiled casually: "There are some things that I need to ask Shen You personally."
This means asking him to step back.
Normally, when the prince calls the officials of the East Palace to discuss matters, he will be kept aside. Today, he is just asking about the war in Jizhou. It is not a secret, so why not let him listen?
Zhu Yun muttered to himself, without thinking much, he responded and walked back to his bedroom.
As soon as he stepped into the dormitory, he heard the cry of a baby. Zhu Yun immediately strode into the dormitory, took one from Yuan Min's hand, and patted his back gently, his movements slightly clumsy.
Yuan Min, a first-time mother, has lost some weight and her complexion is not as rosy as before. Holding the crying child in her arms, she patted the back and sighed: "Both brothers and sisters were fine before. One cried, and the other He immediately started crying too."
Although there is a nanny who takes good care of her, how can she not worry about her as a biological mother?
In the past few months, Yuan Min had to take care of the internal affairs of the East Palace, deal with the Empress Dowager Cao and Concubine Cao Guifei Tian Shu in the harem, and also learn to take care of a pair of children. She became very haggard and thin.
Zhu Yun coaxed the daughter in his arms, sat next to Yuan Min, and said distressedly: "Let the wet nurse give her a hug."
Yuan Min whispered: "The child is the flesh that fell off my body. I always let the wet nurse hold it, and I feel bad." After saying this, she also felt a little embarrassed: "Am I being too overbearing?"
Zhu Yun laughed: "Are you afraid that the child will be intimate with the wet nurse, so you won't kiss you?"
Yuan Min hummed shyly.
"The child is our flesh and blood. You worked hard to conceive and give birth to it. He will definitely be the closest to you in the future." Zhu Yun leaned over and kissed Yuan Min on the cheek: "Don't think too much."
"You have to be busy taking care of the housework every day, going to Cining Palace to pay your respects, and going to Ganquan Palace to visit patients. How can you still have so much energy to hold a child?"
"Don't work so hard. I feel really sad when I see you."
Zhu Yun held the child in one hand and Yuan Min in the other.
Yuan Min felt hot in her heart and rested her head on his chest: "I'm a little tired. But, I enjoy it."
The couple have been very loving since they got married. After Yuan Min became pregnant, she once offered to choose two palace servants to serve her husband, but Zhu Yun rejected them both.
Ordinary merchant families, when they have money, will accept beauties and concubines. Zhu Yun is a noble grandson, and he can have any kind of beauty he wants. But Zhu Yun endured it.
It can be seen from this that there is nothing in this world that cannot be done, it just depends on whether you have the heart or not.
Zhu Yun treated her like this, and she naturally reciprocated with all his heart. As soon as he was out of confinement, he took over everything in the East Palace.
Yuan Min is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and is very opinionated. Zhu Yun couldn't persuade her, so he had to retreat and do the next best thing: "When you are tired, rest more."
Yuan Min pursed her lips and smiled, and responded softly: "Okay, I will listen to you. By the way, you are usually with your father, why are you back so early today?"
Zhu Yun smiled casually and said: "My father summoned Guard Shen for questioning and then asked me to come back."
Yuan Min also smiled casually: "My father really thinks highly of Guard Shen. It seems that in the future, the position of commander of the Imperial Guard will most likely belong to Shen You."
Once the emperor and his courtiers, the commanders and commanders of the Imperial Guards were all trusted confidants of the emperor. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, who will take the position next to him?
Zhu Yun nodded slightly: "Shen You is young and promising, has extraordinary skills, is very loyal to his father, and has saved his father. It is normal for his father to support and cultivate him."
…
In the study room.
The prince opened his mouth to ask about the war in Jizhou, and Shen You answered him one by one.
Shen You still has the same concise and few words temper. He can express something in two words, but never three. His Highness the Crown Prince has long been used to it, and his eyes passed over Shen You's face.
The army set off in March, and now it's July. We haven't seen each other for more than three months, and I'm actually thinking about it very much. The war in Jizhou was clearly written in the battle report. I specially summoned Shen You into the East Palace, just to take a look. he.
"This time I went to Jizhou, your performance was remarkable," the prince praised with a smile: "General He is full of praise for you. It shows that Gu is not wrong about the person."
It is rare for a prince to praise others.
Shen You also felt excited in his heart, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your highness's favor and love! General He is very good at marching and fighting. I have learned a lot from following General He."
The prince smiled with satisfaction: "You are still young. In the future, you will slowly hone your skills and you will never be inferior to General He."
Shen You's heart surged with excitement, and he handed over his hand to thank him again.
The prince said warmly: "I said before that I will make up for your one-month long vacation when you come back. You will leave the palace tonight and come back to work with me in a month."
Shen You's eyes flashed with joy, and he almost couldn't wait to leave.
The prince smiled knowingly and nodded slightly.
It was getting late at this time, and several servants waiting outside the study were chatting away. Eunuch Feng, who was usually the most active, was a little absent-minded today, and his eyes drifted to the door of the study from time to time.
The door finally opened.
The young man with a slender figure and a handsome face stepped out.
Eunuch Feng's heart felt hot and he resisted the urge to step forward.
When Shen You walked past Eunuch Feng, his steps slowed down and his eyes drifted over.
Eunuch Feng nodded slightly.
Shen You understood this and did not speak to Eunuch Feng in public. After all, this was a study room, and Eunuch Feng was still on duty, so it was not convenient to talk. He suppressed the urge to turn around, hug Eunuch Feng, and left unhurriedly.
After leaving the palace, Shen You immediately returned to Cui's house.
The concierge of Cui House was overjoyed and ran quickly to pass the news. After a while, "Feng Shaojun" came out to welcome him.
Shen You: "..."
Shen You knew about Jixiang pretending to be Feng Shaojun. It was the first time he saw it with his own eyes, and it turned out that the resemblance was very convincing.
Jixiang pretended to enter the courtyard with Shen You and closed the door. Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his original voice: "The master is finally back. I don't know if the lady will be back today."
A smile flashed in Shen You's eyes: "Don't worry, she will definitely come back."
Ji Xiang and Mama Zheng looked at each other quickly.
They don't know the whereabouts of the young lady. Shen You has just returned to the capital. Why are they so sure?
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Some book friends are not satisfied with the heroine, thinking that the heroine is too cold and heartless. Here is a unified reply.
In the previous life, the heroine was planned to marry into Prince Qin's palace for joy. Her husband died on the day of the wedding, and she was forced to be buried. In the end, Ji Xiang died in the heroine's place, and Zheng's mother also died in Prince Qin's palace. How could such hatred not be tolerated?
Report?
The heroine worked as a spy commander for several years in her previous life, wandering in the darkness and serving King Yan. It is inevitable that she will be cold-hearted. This is completely in line with the character! I like my young master very much o(∩_∩)o~
I also hope that book friends will continue to like and support~Vote again~~
