Several children walked into Qiongfang Pavilion together. It turned out that Concubine Rou had already arrived, but she looked unhappy. I wonder if it was because the emperor did not come with her.
Ah Hu sat next to her mother and asked, "Where's my sister?" She looked around for her sister, but couldn't find her, but she caught several looks. There was curiosity, indifference, and danger in those eyes.
Mrs. Shen said: "She wants to avoid it."
Ah Hu was about to ask why he was avoiding it, but when he saw King Yu was there, he immediately shut up. They had set a wedding date, but they were not married yet, so they couldn't see each other before the wedding. She couldn't help but muttered trouble, and sat down obediently.
It didn't take long for the emperor and the empress to come together. Ah Wu saw that her aunt's face was even worse and she secretly shook her head. After the emperor and empress sat down, everyone got up and sat in the corresponding seats.
The emperor is a very gentle middle-aged man. He must have been a handsome man when he was young, otherwise why would his sons be so outstanding? The most handsome among them is the twelfth prince, but I heard that outsiders The traveling Sixth Prince is also a dragon among people. Although he is not often in the court, everyone who has seen him is impressed and amazed. It is a pity that Ah Wu was not able to see him this time.
Among the princes present, the prince was an honored guest, the eldest prince was demoted to a commoner because he framed the prince, the third prince was sent to Shu, the fourth prince Yu Wang was about to get married, the eighth prince, etc. were all still young. But at another glance, Among them, the prince's sister married the eldest son of the Shen family, Prince Yu married the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and the eighth prince was the nephew of the Shen family. It seemed that he was about to have connections with all the prominent people in the harem. Except... Ah Hu looked at the twelve princes. Except for Concubine Hui, the twelve princes born to Concubine Hui and the ten princes raised by Concubine Hui had nothing to do with the Shen family. But, this is now, what will happen in the future?
His thoughts were disrupted. It turned out that the banquet had already begun. The emperor raised a glass to congratulate Concubine Rou, and everyone below also raised their glasses. Ah Hu was too young to drink, but he also raised his glass symbolically. The glass contained fruit wine, sour. Sweet and sour, much better than wine
Various songs and dances began to be performed on the stage, and everyone's eyes were focused there. Ah-婷 was very happy because she had never had such a performance at home. She stared at the kabuki operas motionlessly, and suddenly moved away, only to find that she was sitting opposite. When her cousin looked at her, she was fine. She smiled generously at her cousin, but the Eighth Prince lowered his head and blushed again. Ah Huan thought it was funny, why does this cousin love to blush so much? Thinking of this, the smile became brighter again. Be colorful
The gazes coming from different directions changed when they touched such a smile. The prince was stunned, the prince's face was condensed, and he said "hum". King Yu's eyes were deep, and there was still no expression. The twelve princes' faces were Weird, there is a smile on the lips, but it is full of ridicule
Ah Wu did not notice these glances and continued to watch the performance with great interest.
Until the end of the performance, she was in high spirits. She ate a lot and drank a lot of fruit wine. Her mouth and eyes were full. Moreover, she also found that the palace was not as scary as she imagined. Although there were rules, as a prime minister, As a daughter, she was not so strict, and no one would turn a blind eye to such a girl. So, she decided that if she had the chance in the future, she would often come to the palace to play.
The banquet was over, and Ah Hu went back with her mother. At this time, the bright moon was hanging high, and it was already night. The dormant frogs and grasshoppers were hiding in the ponds and corners, chirping vigorously in the late summer night, with a hint of coolness. The wind finally blew away the heat of the whole day. Ah Huan yawned, rubbed her eyes, and could barely walk to the palace gate. But she didn't expect that the eighth prince, the tenth prince, and the twelfth prince had been brought here. Ah Huan had already Too sleepy to speak, Mrs. Shen smiled and said to them: "Princes, please stay."
The Eighth Prince looked at Ah Hu reluctantly, but after only a few hours, he was a little reluctant to say goodbye like this.
"Cousin, come to the palace to play often from now on, okay?"
Ah Huan nodded and said, "Okay." Then she yawned again.
The eighth prince smiled and said, "Then, aunt and cousin, please get in the car."
Mrs. Shen smiled at him and pulled Ah Huan into the car. Ah Huan got in the car and did not forget to poke her little head out from the curtain, waved to them, then nestled in her mother's arms, and fell asleep quickly. Got it
Watching the carriage go away, the Eighth Prince still didn't move. The Tenth Prince muttered: "Brother Bage, are you crazy? What's there to see if you're already far away?"
The twelfth prince smiled softly and said: "Bago, your cousin is very interesting."
"Huh?" The eighth prince was startled. He didn't understand the meaning of the twelfth prince's words, but he saw the twelfth prince smiling strangely. He opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
"Okay, okay, let's go back! It's already dark, and I haven't finished my homework yet!" the tenth prince shouted.
The twelfth prince glanced at him sideways and said, "Don't expect to learn from me."
The tenth prince said with a sneer on his face: "Hey, twelfth brother... Hey, hey, twelfth brother, why are you running away!" He turned to look at the eighth prince, and his smile became even weirder, "Eighth brother..."
The eighth prince said: "Don't look for me. Last time I lent it to you, you even copied the name. As a result, I was also punished by the master." He waved his hand and walked away, ignoring him.
The tenth prince shouted with a mournful face: "Don't run away! Let me take a look, just take a look!"
This time A-Huan returned home. She had already fallen asleep in the carriage. Her eldest brother Shen Huan happened to come out to greet her. When he saw A-Huan sleeping soundly, he immediately smiled and said, "You get tired so quickly." He then took her out of the carriage. , put it back on the bed in her room. Mrs. Shen came over to help her take off her clothes, covered her with the quilt and looked at her again before walking out.
All the way to Shen Xiang's study, Shen Huan and Shen Yuan were there. When Shen Xiang saw his wife coming, he said: "Today, the emperor told me that he wanted Lan'er to go to the palace for training, so he would put it in the East Palace."
The Prince of the East Palace has always had political disagreements with Prime Minister Shen. What does the Emperor mean by this move?
"Your Majesty's decision, your ministers cannot speculate at will. Since your Majesty has decided so, we will follow it," said Shen Xiang.
Shen Yuan smiled and said: "It would be great if my younger brother can enter the East Palace to gain experience. If he comes out in two or three years, he will naturally have a bright future."
Prime Minister Shen stroked his beard and did not answer. Mrs. Shen said: "I brought Ah Hu into the palace today. The child seems to like the palace very much, and the princes also..."
Before she finished speaking, several people's expressions changed. Shen Xiang said solemnly: "It's okay to let her walk around the palace more. In the future... just remember, don't let her get into trouble."
Mrs. Shen said: "This is natural. This child is well-behaved and sensible. Although he doesn't look very calm, he is actually very smart."
Prime Minister Shen remained silent for a long time, then waved everyone away. He sat alone on a chair and sighed slowly.
