Chapter 1205 Old Things and New Things (Supplement)
New Year's Eve.
As usual, the emperor and the empress entertained ministers and court wives in the palace respectively.
Naturally, Shen Yi would also attend. During the banquet, the singers and musicians from the Jiaofang Division sang in the hall, and the program was pretty good.
The most important thing is that because the imperial court won a great victory this year and took over the province of Shandong, there was a more cheerful atmosphere in the imperial court. The New Year's Eve banquet was naturally more lively.
After the banquet, when Shen Yi left Deqing Palace and was about to go home, a boy who was already five or six years old ran up to him. He lowered his head to Shen Yi and gasped: "Uncle Shen, my father invites you. Go to the back hall."
Looking at the little boy in front of him, Shen Yi felt a little dazed.
The last time I saw him, it seemed like it was two years ago. The kid couldn't speak very clearly, but now he can run errands.
Thinking of his eldest son, Mr. Shen was stunned for a while, then came to his senses, smiled and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, did His Majesty ask you to come to me, or did someone else ask you to come?"
Li Wang nodded and said, "My father asked me to come find my uncle."
Shen Yi smiled: "Your Highness, do you still recognize me?"
Li Wang turned around.
Shen Yi followed his gaze and saw not far away, the eunuch Gao Ming was watching the two of them quietly.
Shen Yi sighed and said softly: "Then please lead the way, Your Highness."
Li Wang nodded and trotted along, leading the way.
After all, he was still a child, with a childish nature, and he completely forgot that someone told him to let Shen Yi hold his hand.
Gao Ming saw this scene in his eyes and didn't say anything more.
After a while, a group of people came to the back hall. Shen Yi took a glance and saw no shadow of Concubine Hui. He looked at the emperor with some surprise, then stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "My lord, Shen Yi, pays homage to your majesty."
At this moment, the emperor was holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in his arms. When he saw Shen Yi coming, he waved to Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Come on, come on."
"Have you never seen my eldest daughter?"
Shen Yi stepped forward, looked at the little girl, and then shook his head with a smile: "I've really never seen her before."
He held his hands to the little girl and smiled and said, "I have met the eldest princess."
The eldest princess, Li Yu, got out of her father's arms, looked up at the familiar uncle in front of her, and said, "My surname is also Shen..."
"You are a bit similar to Quan'er."
Mr. Shen was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Zhen'er?"
Emperor Hongde on the side laughed and said: "She gave your precious son the nickname. He used to be called Shen Yuan Shen Yuan, but later he was called Quan'er."
After hearing this, Shen Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "This is quite interesting."
"My son, his mother has taken care of him since he was a child. His personality is similar to his mother's, a little quiet. The eldest princess seems to have a more cheerful personality."
"What cheerfulness."
The emperor rubbed his head and said: "I have been spoiled since I was a child, and I am a bit out of touch."
He pointed to the chair and motioned for Shen Yi to sit down. Then he rubbed the eldest princess's head and said with a smile: "This is the father of your playmate. You need to call him uncle."
Li Ying then raised her head to look at Shen Yi, and then called "uncle" obediently.
Mr. Shen looked at the princess and said with a smile: "Princess is too polite."
The emperor waved to her and said, "Go and play with your brother for a while, and then go to bed early. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Li Ying nodded first, then looked at her father and said, "Father, can I leave the palace after the New Year greetings? I want to go to Quan'er's house. He told me last time that his house is also very big..."
The emperor did not speak, but looked at Shen Yi with a smile.
At this time, Shen Yi naturally couldn't refuse. He smiled and nodded: "Welcome, princess."
Li Ying cheered, jumped up and ran out, and went to play with Li Wang.
Looking at the two siblings, Shen Yi thought thoughtfully and said, "Your Majesty... separated them from the two empresses?"
The emperor nodded: "If we don't separate, our flesh and blood will become enemies."
He lowered his head to drink tea and said: "From now on, my heirs will be separated from their biological mothers after they are five years old, moved to other palaces, and handed over to the palace attendants to take care of and raise them."
He put down the tea cup and sighed: "In this way, they have grown up together since childhood, and their love of flesh and blood will be deeper in the future."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty has good intentions."
"I never thought about this before."
The emperor laughed at himself: "I once read in ancient sages' books that parents love their children for far-reaching reasons. At that time, I didn't think so, but now..."
He sighed and did not continue.
Shen Yi chuckled softly and said: "When I first met your Majesty, your Majesty and your ministers were still young. Now they are parents and care about their children."
The emperor shook his head slightly.
"I have been in charge of Hongde for six years. After tonight, it will be Hongde's sixteenth year."
"Ten years have passed by so quickly."
Shen Yi felt the same and nodded without saying anything.
The emperor looked at Shen Yi and said, "I know that you are not willing to get involved in the affairs of the inner court. I also know that Concubine Hui sometimes does things that are not pleasing to people. You are probably angry with her."
Having said this, Emperor Hongde paused and sighed: "But our adults' affairs have nothing to do with the children."
Shen Yi said seriously: "Your Majesty, I don't want to get involved in the inner court battles because I don't want to be hindered by these things..."
"I still have many things to do for Your Majesty and the imperial court."
"As for what Your Majesty said..."
Shen Yi shook his head: "I have never blamed anyone."
Before this, Shen Yi was indeed a little angry.
It wasn't because Gu Hengbo wanted to involve him in the game.
It's because she did whatever it took to achieve this goal, even forcing an old man to do it.
Because of this, Shen Yi even wanted to fall out with her directly.
After all, the current Marquis Shen...
It's already very big.
In the Jiankang court, apart from the emperor himself, he had the right to fall out with anyone.
However, after being persuaded by the emperor, 30% to 40% of the anger in his heart dissipated. In addition, with the emperor as the mediator, he could not fall out with the boss's little wife again.
His Majesty the Emperor nodded and said: "I have sent a letter to Pei Jun. He should be able to return to Jiankang on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Then I will invite several prime ministers. You also come to the palace and we will discuss it together. Discuss the Northern Expedition."
Hearing these words, Shen Yi felt a sudden change in his heart.
At this point, it has become clear that we are not discussing the Northern Expedition, but the Northern Expedition coach.
In other words, will Shen Yi be the head coach of the Northern Expedition?
Mr. Shen stood up and bowed his head in salute: "I obey!"
The emperor smiled, waved his hand, and said, "It's getting late. You have to go back to reunite with your family. I won't keep you here."
Shen Yi lowered his head and clasped his fists: "I obey!"
He respectfully left the apse.
After Shen Yi left, a while later, Concubine Hui brought a bowl of hot soup to the emperor. She lowered her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, drink some soup to warm yourself up."
The emperor stretched out his hand to take it and looked at her.
"This matter is over here. The Queen Mother has relented. You should not provoke Shen Yi anymore."
Concubine Hui was a little aggrieved, lowered her head and said with tears: "Your Majesty, how could I ever provoke him..."
"I asked the inner guard to ask. After you went to see Mr. Gu, the old man didn't eat for a day or two. What did you say to him?"
Concubine Hui bit her lips lightly and felt even more aggrieved: "I just asked him to help me meet Lord Shen..."
"I really don't know anything about him not eating..."
When the emperor saw her crying, he couldn't help but feel a little soft. He didn't continue to blame her and just sighed.
"After learning about this blood relative back then, if you were devoted to being filial to Mr. Gu and had no other thoughts, maybe Shen Qi..."
"We have agreed to accept Wang'er as a student."
Concubine Hui couldn't stop crying.
"Your Majesty, it's not just my concubine who is unfilial, but my parents and grandmother, it's all because of him..."
"That's all."
The emperor was unwilling to get involved in these complicated grievances and shook his head: "That's the end of it."
Concubine Hui lowered her head.
"I obey my orders..."

Second grade of junior high school.
Mr. Shen changed into plain clothes, and after going out, he saw Xue Wei waiting at the door.
After seeing Shen Yi, Xue Wei stepped forward, still a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Shen..."
Seeing the timid appearance, Lord Shen felt a little funny: "I don't think you are so scared when you go into battle to kill the enemy."
Xue Wei quickly said: "I am not afraid..."
"Let's go then, I'll go check on you old... um..."
"What are you doing?"
Xue Wei was even more embarrassed.
"Old Yan..."
I went hiking yesterday afternoon. I was so sleepy at night that I fell asleep... This chapter is a supplement~
