A few days later, the personal soldiers sent by His Highness the Prince arrived at the border.
General Meng, Yuan Jiang, and Shenyou each received a letter written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After receiving the letter, General Meng was very happy and immediately wrote a reply to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for his support to the descendants of the Meng family. .
Yuan Jiang's reaction was much calmer. The mistress of Da Qi's harem and the future mistress are both daughters of the Yuan family. The blood of the Yuan family and the royal family have long been integrated. If the grandson wants to choose a companion, he will naturally not go around. Open the Yuan family.
The only problem is that there are quite a few outstanding sons of the right age among the Yuan family’s grandchildren. Who should be chosen to enter the palace?
Yuan Jiang thought for a while and wrote a reply to His Royal Highness. In addition, he wrote another letter and sent it back to the Yuan Mansion. The specific content of the letter is unknown.
Only Shen You frowned for a long time after opening the letter.
After noon that day, Shen You quietly left the military camp and returned to Shen's house alone.
Feng Shaojun went to the teahouse owned by his family to "drink tea and have fun". Shen Xu and Shen Hao were all at the martial arts training ground.
Fang Dalang is now over fourteen years old, and he and Cui Dalang were taken to the military camp for training. The rest of the boys were still studying and practicing martial arts in Shen's house. At this time, there was constant noise in the martial arts training ground.
A year later, Shen Xu has grown a lot taller. He is riding a horse, pulling a bow and shooting arrows. His face is covered with beads of sweat, which is shiny and seems to be shining in the sun.
What a handsome and sunny young man!
It was also the favorite look that he and Feng Shaojun had imagined!
Shen You stood at the side of the martial arts training ground, quietly watching his son riding a horse-drawn bow, watching Shen Xu being complacent with ten arrows, and watching him laughing wantonly in the sun. His originally gloomy and irritable mood gradually calmed down. .
Shen Xu was so good at shooting that he didn't even look at the martial arts training ground. However, Shen Hao caught a glimpse of his father and immediately came over happily. He grabbed Shen You's sleeve and shook it back and forth: "Dad, why did you suddenly came back?"
Shen You's eyes softened, and he lowered his head and smiled at his daughter: "Dad misses you two brothers and sisters, so he came here specially to see you."
Eight-year-old Shen Hao has picturesque features and is soft and lovely. When she smiles, there are two shallow dimples on her cheeks, and her eyes are dark and bright: "Dad is lying. The military camp is very busy every day, and dad came here specially, There must be something extremely important."
This little clever guy.
A smile flashed in Shen You's eyes and he didn't deny it anymore.
At this time, Shen Xu finally noticed that his biological father was back. He jumped off the horse and ran over to him. He was almost as tall as Shen You's chin. He still had the nerve to rush into his biological father's arms: "Dad !”
Shen You laughed again and reached out to pat Shen Xu on the head: "Okay, stop messing around and stand up quickly."
Shen Xu chuckled, stood up straight, and opened his mouth to ask: "It's not the holiday yet, so dad is in a hurry to come back, so there must be something important. However, mom went out early in the morning, and I don't know when I can get back." return."
Shen You hummed casually: "It doesn't matter, I'll stay at home tonight and return to the military camp tomorrow morning."
Feng Shaojun also has his own business to do, just wait a moment.
Shen Xu said excitedly: "That's great. It's rare for dad to come back. Please accompany me to ride horses and practice archery."
A pair of children are Shen You's treasures. Shen Haorong looks like his mother Feng Shaojun, soft and cute. Shen You dotes on his daughter. He loves Shen Xu equally and obeys all his son's requests. .
Shen You smiled and agreed, and accompanied his son and daughter to ride horses and practice archery.
In the evening, Feng Shaojun came back.
Feng Shaojun was not surprised when he saw Shen You and winked at Shen You. Shen You understood and the couple went back to the dormitory to talk together.
"The Crown Prince ordered his personal soldiers to deliver letters to the military camp." Shen You spoke concisely: "General Meng and Yuan Jiang each have one. I also received a personal letter from His Highness."
"The grandson wants to choose a reading companion. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to send Shen Xu to the palace to be the grandson's reading companion."
Feng Shaojun sighed softly: "I was at the teahouse today and received news from the military camp."
His Royal Highness acted openly and openly, without any intention of hiding anything. The secret sentry in the military camp got the news and immediately sent him out of the military camp.
In fact, this book is also a good thing. How could the couple not understand the benefits of reading with their grandson?
"Yu Gong, this is His Highness the Crown Prince's respect and favor for the Shen family. When Xu'er goes to the capital, he can get to know more people, and he will have a good future in the future." Feng Shaojun sighed in a low voice: "Yu Si, Xu'er is going to the palace. During the period, I spent time with His Highness Taisun day and night, forming a deep friendship. It is also a good thing."
Therefore, no matter how reluctant they were to part with their son, they had no reason to refuse.
The love of parents is for their children. How can they keep their children by their side just because they are reluctant to let go?
There will always be a day when they grow old and cannot protect their children for the rest of their lives. Shen Xu's life has just begun, like the rising sun, and they cannot block their children's future in the name of love.
Shen You let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand to hug Feng Shaojun into his arms, and said in a muffled voice: "I understand the truth. I just don't feel happy."
Feng Shaojun was naturally aware of his feelings and answered softly: "Do you not want Shen Xu to enter the palace?"
Shen You remained silent.
"The grievances and disputes between elders should not involve children." Feng Shaojun raised his head and reached out to gently smooth Shen You's frown: "Besides, this time, at least he hopes Xu'er will enter the palace."
The man Feng Shaojun mentioned was the Emperor of Qi.
Yes, this time, at least she is looking forward to Shen Xu entering the palace.
Shen You twitched his lips in a self-deprecating tone: "Well, it's a favor from the palace that Shen Xu was chosen to be his grandson's companion. As a minister, there is no reason to refuse. Let's call Xu'er over and tell him personally about it. .”
When Shen Xu was called in, he felt a little scared when he saw his parents looking at him seriously.
He didn't do anything wrong today!
"Shen Xu, come here." Shen You looked quite serious: "I have something important to tell you."
Shen Xu blurted out: "Dad, don't you want to beat me?"
Shen You: "..."
Feng Shaojun laughed: "You did nothing wrong, so what are you afraid of? Come here quickly, I really have something serious to discuss with you."
Shen Xu felt relieved and stepped forward.
Shen You put a letter into his hand: "Please read this letter first."
Shen Xu responded, quickly took out the letter, and scanned it quickly. Before he finished reading, his mouth was twisted with joy: "Wow! I'm going to the palace to be my grandson's companion! This is great. !”
Shen You glanced at his excited son: "If you leave, you won't be able to come back for at least a few years."
Shen Xu's heart almost flew out of his head, and he responded happily: "Don't my parents always think about my great-uncles and great-aunts? I can just go back and fulfill my filial piety on my parents' behalf."
