Emperor Qing'an raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked forward unhurriedly. After entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Qing'an began to read the memorial, and Zhu Yun spontaneously stepped forward to study the ink.
Shen You still stood aside.
Everything is the same as before.
Half an hour later, Eunuch Yang came to report with a smile on his face: "To report to the Emperor, the Queen has sent someone to invite the Emperor and the Prince to have lunch together at Jiaofang Hall."
Emperor Qing'an was busy with government affairs on weekdays, so he mostly had lunch in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Sometimes when he had free time, he would go to the Jiaofang Hall to have lunch with Empress Yuan.
Empress Yuan specially sent someone to invite her today, so Emperor Qing'an had to go. So the emperor and the prince drove to Jiaofang Palace together.
Queen Yuan led her daughter-in-law Yuan Min and her three children to greet her.
Yuan Min is very concerned about the upbringing of her children. Brother Dong and Sister Tang are just over three years old, and they are very polite in their manners. One is handsome and lovable, and the other Yuxue is cute.
The youngest Brother Liang, who had just passed his 100th day, was held in his arms, babbling and shouting something unknown.
The whole family was gathered together and it was very lively.
Shen You didn't feel anything about such a scene before, but now he is a biological father. When he saw the little brother Liang, he thought of his own son. The corners of his mouth suddenly raised.
Queen Yuan looked over with a smile: "Shen You, come here."
Shen You responded and took two steps forward.
Empress Yuan asked with a smile: "Your wife has given birth to a son, has she decided on a name?"
Shen You's eyes were soft and he opened his mouth to answer: "Back to the Queen, the general's son is called Shen Xu, and his nickname is Brother Xu."
The word Shen Xu hit his ears, and Emperor Qing'an twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
Fortunately, the movements were subtle and no one noticed.
Empress Yuan smiled and praised: "This is a good name." She asked casually: "By the way, did your mother go to the day of the child's third bath?"
Eunuch Yang lowered his head calmly, thinking to himself, Queen, you really insist on picking up any pot that is not open! As soon as this question came up, not only the emperor was worried, but Commander Shen was probably not happy either.
Sure enough, Emperor Qing'an didn't show his expression. The smile on Shen You's face quietly faded, and his voice became slightly calmer: "After Mrs. Qiu was injured, she has been recuperating quietly and has not left Qiu Mansion. She didn't come that day."
Queen Yuan wanted to ask again, but Emperor Qing'an suddenly coughed: "Is lunch ready? I'm a little hungry."
Queen Yuan's attention was immediately attracted: "I'll let someone pass the meal on."
Shen You secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps back calmly.
In fact, Queen Yuan had no ill intentions. From the very beginning, she looked at Shen You differently because of Jiang. She even went to Prince Qin's Mansion to angrily attack Princess Qin because of Shen You. For Queen Yuan, when she saw Shen You, she could not help but think of Jiang. It is human nature to ask the above two sentences casually.
However, Shen You really didn't want anyone to mention his mother in front of him.
…
I worked all day and took a break in the evening.
Shen Jia also changed her shift at the same time and came in high spirits. She put her arm around Shen You's shoulders and said, "Let's go and eat together."
Shen You usually kept a distance from everyone, but Shen Jia was the only one who could get close to him. After entering the dining hall, they each brought their meals and sat across from each other. Shen Jia carelessly put all his favorite braised pork into his own bowl, and took advantage of the opportunity to put Shen You Send me your favorite fish.
Shen You was also used to it, and ate in silence while listening to Shen Jia's chatter.
"How is it? How does it feel to be a biological father?" Shen Jiacheng winked at Shen You: "Are you very excited and happy? You can't wait to hold the child in the palm of your hand?"
Shen You raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.
Shen Jia looked regretful: "It's a pity that it's not the holiday yet, so I couldn't go to the child's baptism." He quickly smiled and said: "When the holiday comes, I have to go and see my nephew with my own eyes. You can’t do it.”
"By the way, have you decided on a name?"
Shen You smiled and said, "My name is Shen Xu."
Shen Jia slapped her leg: "This is a good name. When your third sister-in-law gives birth to a son, I will have to think of a name. From now on, the two cousins will practice martial arts together, and when they grow up, they will go to the Jinyi Competition together to compete with us. Like brothers!"
This thought reminded me of going there more than ten years later.
Shen You laughed: "You are really thinking far ahead."
After dinner, Shen Jia naturally went to Shen You's room and continued to mutter: "It takes ten days to enter the palace, and you can only leave the palace once every ten days. I really miss my wife and daughter."
He also misses his wife and son!
Shen You lay on the bed, with one leg bent and the other flat, with his hands under his head and a long sigh.
Shen Jia suddenly lowered her voice: "In a few days, the little princess in the East Palace will be full moon. I don't know how the East Palace will organize the full moon ceremony."
Shen You glanced at Shen Jia: "This has nothing to do with you and me. Don't worry about it. Also, just talk about it in front of me. Don't mention it in front of others."
It also avoids the occurrence of disputes and disputes.
The excitement in the East Palace is not so pretty!
Shen Jia nodded: "Don't worry. How can I not know the importance of this!"
…
The palace was peaceful, and the emperor's personal guards were doing their jobs smoothly.
But with so many thoughts and concerns in his heart, the days suddenly became long and difficult. Shen You counted the days day by day, and finally got to the day of rest. He quickly changed into regular clothes and left the palace with Shen Jia.
Shen Jia was thinking about her newborn nephew, so she didn't even return to Shen's house, and rode horses to Cui's house with Shen You.
Shen You quickly walked into the courtyard.
Shen Jia did not regard herself as an outsider and followed Shen You in. She finally remembered to avoid suspicion and did not follow Shen You into the dormitory. The wet nurse came over with brother Xu in her arms, and Shen Jia rushed to hug him first and looked down: "Hey! This little guy is so handsome!"
Shen You couldn't wait to get closer and started laughing at the sight: "It looks better than before."
After a child is born, his appearance changes every day. Brother Xu was originally bright red, but now he is much fairer, and his eyebrows are also longer.
Shen Jia smiled happily again and said: "They all say that my nephew looks like my uncle, and this is absolutely true. Look at Brother Xu, how much he looks like me."
Shen You smiled and glared at him: "Go away. Brother Xu looks like Shaojun and me. What does it have to do with you?"
The chatter and laughter of the two people spread into the dormitory.
Feng Shaojun couldn't hold himself back and opened the door. Before he even took a step forward, Shen You was in front of him: "You are still in confinement and cannot leave the house."
Feng Shaojun had been suffocating in the room for half a month. He was really suffocated and begged in a low voice: "I'll come out and take a breath. Staying in the room every day will make me suffocate to death."
Shen You hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that he was about to be unable to resist, Mother Zheng coughed lightly.
Shen You immediately stood firm: "Your body is at its weakest during the confinement period, so you must take good care of it to avoid getting sick. Just bear with it a little longer."
