Zhao Ling held Shao Muyu's arm and leaned half against him. He was no different from Ling'er before, and he didn't have the airs of a princess! Seeing this, Shao Muyu finally nodded slightly, "Then... thank you Sister Ling'er!"
"Hehe..." Zhao Ling smiled, "What is sister doing here today?
Yes, sister is here to see the Queen! Come on, Ling'er will take you in!"
With that said, he turned to Shen Tang and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I'll go with Sister Muyu first, and then I'll go play with Sisters Xiangling and Yue, so I won't wait for you!"
Shen Tang nodded slightly to Shao Muyu, then saluted Zhao Ling and said, "Well, thank you, Princess!"
Shen Tang is happy to see his wife getting acquainted with the princess! This Zhao Ling is Zhao Shen's biological sister, so she is naturally doted on by Zhao Shen, and what's rare is that she is not in the palace and will not be contaminated by any chaos in the palace. So, seeing Zhao Ling getting close to Shao Muyu, Shen Tang didn't stop him!
Seeing Shen Tang speak, Zhao Ling smiled, took Shao Muyu's hand and walked towards the palace gate! The soldiers on the side were naturally surprised, but at this time, no ignorant person would come to stop him. !If the princess personally brings her into the palace, what can happen?
After Shao Muyu left for a moment, Shen Tang saw Wang Quan from afar and came quickly with a smile!
"Hey, we, the groom, are finally willing to leave Wenrou Township?
In the past few days, I have often heard the Holy One read about Master Shen!"
"Thank you, Lord King!"
Shen Tang smiled and bowed.
"Huh?
Didn’t you say you came here with the bride?
Why are you the only one here? You didn't provoke your wife!"
Wang Quan looked around and saw Shen Tang alone, so he asked with a teasing smile.
Shen Tang smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not hide it from your lord, and for some reason, my wife is acquainted with Princess Guangling.
A moment ago, I happened to meet the princess leaving the palace, and then the princess led my wife to visit the Queen!"
"oh?"
Wang Quan smiled, of course he knew how Princess Guangling got acquainted with the girls of the Shen family, "In this case, you can rest assured. With the princess following you, they are familiar with each other, so there will be no mistakes!"
With that said, Wang Quan led Shen Tang into the palace! While following Wang Quan into the palace, Shen Tang said politely, "Shen Tang has been in Lin'an these days, but he has been nagging a lot, knowing that it is inconvenient for you to leave the palace. , but it is the occasion of a wedding recently, and Shen Tang has prepared a few small gifts to treat you to a wedding banquet. I hope you will not refuse!"
Shen Tang is considered a foreign official, and Wang Quan is someone close to Zhao Shen. Therefore, if Shen Tang meets outside the palace, it is likely to arouse a lot of suspicion! Even Zhao Shen will think too much.
As for Wang Quan being inconvenient to leave the palace, that is not necessarily the case! Although he has to stay with the emperor, but occasionally goes out to do business, he will not always be in the palace.
What's more, it's not unusual for some eunuchs to have residences outside the palace.
As he said this, a brocade bag was thrust into Wang Quan's hand!
"My wife went north, and the emperor of the Jin Kingdom gave her a few East Pearls! They are all about the size of a thumb. Although they are not worth much money, they are still rare. I hope you will not dislike them!"
The so-called East Pearl is also called the North Pearl. It is produced in the Heilongjiang, Wusuli River and other river basins in the north. The reason why it has such a name is to distinguish it from the South Pearl in the South China Sea! The Jin people have always regarded the East Pearl as a treasure. This has been reflected in later generations. The same goes for the Manchu and Qing dynasties.
At this time, although the thumb-sized Dongzhu is not priceless, it is definitely a treasure of great value.
Touching the round objects in the brocade bag, the smile on Wang Quan's face became even brighter.
As a eunuch, especially the chief eunuch around Zhao Shen, although everyone respects him, he lacks a lot of fun because he has no heirs.
This is why many eunuchs are extremely eager for money. This is inevitable even for kings!
"You said you are a person who always pleases people when you talk! But you gave me a gift for your big event. How can I handle this?
However, I still have to drink this wedding wine.
So, thank you very much, Mr. Shen, for taking care of me! I don’t know, I will have to prepare a generous gift for your bride in the future..."
"Hahaha..." Shen Tang smiled and responded, "In that case, I'll thank you in advance!"
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of the Qinzheng Hall!
Wang Quan went in first to report, and in the blink of an eye, a chamberlain came to lead Shen Tang into the palace!
"Your Majesty, Shen Tang, please see your Majesty!"
"Hahaha..." Zhao Shen, who was leaning on the soft cave, laughed loudly, "Wang Quan told me just now that you, the groom, are quite energetic. Now that I see you, it is indeed the case! Yes! Okay, where is your bride?
Have you ever gone to see the Queen?
After coming back, the queen told me several times that Shen Tang, your wife, married a lovely person this time..."
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your marriage! On the day of the wedding, Your Majesty and the Queen were here in person. It was a great honor for me. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart!"
Shen Tang bowed first, and then said again, "I never thought that my wife would be lucky enough to know the Princess of Guangling! I just met her at the gate of the palace, and she went with the Princess to pay homage to the Queen!"
Zhao Shen nodded and continued, "The ladies in your family are all virtuous women, so it is a good thing to be close to the princess.
As for the engagement, this is what I promised you, so why be so polite! Sit down, since you are here, just talk to me..."
Afterwards, Shen Tang sat down and chatted casually with Zhao Shen!
Zhao Shen acted very close, asking about trivial matters in Shen Tang's family, how good the business of Shao Muyu's family was, and even teased whether the ladies in Shen Tang's family were harmonious!
Shen Tang naturally responded one by one, respectfully, with a touch of intimacy and sincerity!
The two started chatting, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon. Shen Tang wanted to leave, but was directly pulled by Zhao Shen to have dinner together! As for Shao Muyu, he had not come over. I am afraid that Shao Muyu and Zhao Ling had already left. Palace, returned to the old residence of the Shen family.
Not long after, the meal was passed to the table, but the monarch and his ministers did not stop eating, but continued to chat.
It wasn't until the food was gone that Zhao Shen spoke to Shen Tang, "Shen Tang, you just got married, so you should have a good rest! However, Chengdu Prefecture is in a hurry, so you need to rush to Chengdu Prefecture as soon as possible.
Only when you arrive at Chengdu Mansion can my hanging heart be completely relieved!"
Shen Tang had long expected that Zhao Shen would mention this matter after meeting him, so he was not surprised.
Therefore, when Zhao Shen finished speaking, Shen Tang agreed very simply, "I accept the order, your Majesty, don't worry, I will go back and make some arrangements, and we will set off in a day or two!"
"good!"
Seeing this, Zhao Shen nodded approvingly and patted Shen Tang's shoulder gently, "Shen Tang, I will entrust you with this trip!"
