Why did Emperor Qing'an and Queen Yuan suddenly come?
Things have to start in the morning.
After Emperor Qing'an had attended the small court meeting, Eunuch Yang stepped forward to serve him and "accidentally" brought up the fact that Feng Shaojun brought his children to the palace for an audience: "...the Crown Princess summoned Commander Shen and his family members to enter the palace. Commander Shen was also interesting, and actually came with her. Already."
In a conversation, the key points are only a few words.
Brother Xu was also brought into the palace.
This is the first time Brother Xu has entered the palace since he was born.
Emperor Qing'an did not hesitate, drove to Jiaofang Palace, and said to Queen Yuan casually: "I haven't seen Brother Liang for a few days."
Empress Yuan didn't think much about it and smiled casually: "Today Min'er summoned Shen You's wife and children to the palace, but she didn't bring Brother Liang here."
Emperor Qing'an hummed: "I happen to be free now, let's go to the East Palace to have a look."
Empress Yuan did not doubt that he was there: "That's good. I can also meet Shen You's wife and children by the way. By the way, it's the first time that the child enters the palace, so I have to ask Hongyu to prepare a meeting gift."
Emperor Qing'an nodded slightly.
Then, the emperor and empress came to the East Palace together.
Shen Youyou suppressed the surprise in his heart, stepped forward and held his hands together: "I have met the emperor and the empress."
Emperor Qing'an glanced at him: "Ping Shen."
Empress Yuan smiled and said: "Today the Crown Princess summoned your wife and children to the palace, why did you come with her?"
Shen You didn't feel embarrassed when he was teased, and replied seriously: "The general is also idle at home, so he came with him."
Empress Yuan and Emperor Qing'an were very much in love with each other, and they were particularly happy to see a loving and harmonious young couple. She smiled casually and said, "Stop standing here, come in with me."
Shen You accepted without hesitation and followed the emperor and empress into the inner hall.
…
The emperor and empress arrived, and everyone was busy saluting. Feng Shaojun also stood up quickly, gathered his skirt and saluted.
Yuan Min was holding her two children and was unable to get up to salute. She smiled and apologized: "Father, the Queen, please forgive me, my daughter-in-law is really unable to get up."
Brother Liang refused to come down and hugged Yuan Min's arm. Brother Xu hugged the other arm tightly. Yuan Min couldn't move his arms, let alone getting up.
Queen Yuan was also happy when she saw this appearance, and looked at Brother Xu specifically: "Is this Shen You's son? He is really handsome."
Yuan Min responded with a smile: "I was born well."
To be fair, in terms of appearance alone, Brother Xu is more handsome than Brother Liang.
Emperor Qing'an's eyes fell on Brother Xu's face.
Brother Xu grinned at Emperor Qing'an with his rosy mouth. The child's smile was clear, clean and innocent. It was like a clear stream.
A smile flashed in Emperor Qing'an's eyes.
Most of the credit for raising the children so well must be attributed to Mrs. Xu.
Queen Yuan had already stepped forward and smiled at Yuan Min: "Let me give you a hug."
Then, he reached out and hugged Brother Xu. Brother Xu was still a little reluctant to leave, and stretched out his chubby hands to hold Yuan Min's sleeves. However, when he reached Queen Yuan's arms, Brother Xu reached out and hugged Yuan Min again. The Queen's neck. By the way, she pressed her chubby face against Queen Yuan's face.
Queen Yuan was happy and patted Brother Xu's butt: "This boy is really not afraid of life at all."
Emperor Qing'an hummed, the hand in his sleeve moved, and then he stopped.
It is not inappropriate to look at the children of ministers. However, as an emperor, he has his own dignity, so it is very inappropriate to hold a child.
Feng Shaojun raised his eyes, glanced at Emperor Qing'an calmly, then looked away, and looked at Eunuch Yang. Eunuch Yang had not seen Feng Shaojun's real appearance for a long time, and a smile quickly flashed in his eyes.
As soon as the two people's eyes touched, they each looked away as if nothing had happened.
Empress Yuan hugged Brother Xu for a moment and gave Hongyu a greeting gift.
Feng Shaojun expressed his gratitude on behalf of his son: "My wife, Mrs. Feng, on behalf of my brother Xu, I would like to express my gratitude to the empress for her kindness."
Empress Yuan was very kind: "I met Brother Xu and liked him very much. It's just a little greeting gift, but it's not worth mentioning."
He paused for a moment and then said: "Shen You will leave for the border soon. You can take care of the child at home. When you are free, take the child to the palace to pay his respects."
Feng Shaojun responded very appropriately: "My wife has written down all the Queen Mother's words. As a minister, it is my duty to share your worries with you. My wife only hopes that the war will end soon and peace will be restored in the border areas."
Whenever the war was mentioned, Queen Yuan would think of the prince and couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, her cheeks felt wet.
It was Brother Xu who pouted and kissed Empress Yuan.
Most of the sadness in Queen Yuan's heart was immediately driven away. She smiled and touched Brother Xu's little face: "This child is really lovable. His temper is not like that of his real father!"
Shen You: "..."
Just think about it in your mind, but saying it in front of him is a bit too much.
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and chuckled.
The others also laughed secretly in their hearts. Commander Shen You had a reputation for being cold-faced every day, but he had never smiled. They never thought that Commander Shen's son was particularly cute.
Emperor Qing'an glanced at Shen You and then at Brother Xu, and he also thought it was funny.
Shen You has had no father or mother since he was a child. He has a gloomy temper and rarely talks. Brother Xu was born at a good time, surrounded by people who loved him and pampered him. He was so naughty and lively at a young age. I don't think he will be like this when he grows up. He is as taciturn as his father.
This is good.
Seeing that Queen Yuan was in a good mood, Yuan Min said with a smile: "The Queen feels that Brother Xu is lovable, so she will stay for half a day and let them leave the palace in the evening."
Queen Yuan nodded without thinking: "That's your arrangement."
Feng Shaojun thanked him again.
Everyone's attention was on Brother Xu, but Brother Liang was unhappy. He slipped off Yuan Min's legs, rushed to Emperor Qing'an's legs, and shouted tenderly: "Grandpa!"
Emperor Qing'an responded with a smile and picked up the little emperor's grandson. Brother Liang proudly nestled in his grandfather's arms.
Brother Xu couldn't bear his temper. He twisted his body and tried his best to come to Emperor Qing'an. Empress Yuan said happily: "Look at Brother Xu, he looks like a little man."
Shen You was a little nervous and subconsciously took a step forward.
Emperor Qing'an has extended his hand.
Empress Yuan didn't think much about it. What does a ten-month-old child know about the difference in status? Just join in the fun! Anyway, Emperor Qing'an is strong, so it's not like he can't hold him.
Emperor Qing'an took over Brother Xu from Empress Yuan. Brother Xu hugged Emperor Qing'an's arm, raised his head and smiled at Emperor Qing'an.
Even if my heart is as cold as iron, I can't stop such a pure and bright smile.
Emperor Qing'an's eyes softened and he smiled: "He is indeed a cute and lovable child."
"You have all given me a meeting gift, so I can't be stingy anymore." I turned to Eunuch Yang and told Eunuch Yang: "Go and prepare a meeting gift."
Eunuch Yang happily agreed.
Feng Shaojun glanced at the gentle-faced Emperor Qing'an and thought that it would be enough this time. It would be better not to bring Brother Xu into the palace in the future.
