On New Year's Eve, the palace must celebrate with great fanfare. In addition, there is another important thing, which is to celebrate the triumph of General Paohui.
Shen Fengyue was pulled up early in the morning, and she was complaining at first, but when she heard that the concubines in other palaces had already packed up, and when it was only him, Shen Fengyue had been sleeping late because of her pregnancy for so many months.
"Prince Concubine, today is a festive day, and this servant will dress you in a unique hairstyle." Hongmei pressed him in front of the dressing table.
After Shen Fengyue agreed, she squinted and fell asleep, letting Hongmei toss his hair. Although he didn't know what the back was like, he vaguely felt that all his hair was flying upwards...
"Miss, it's alright."
Shen Fengyue opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror, she was so shocked that she was speechless for a while.
His hunch was correct, all the hair flew towards the sky, combed into a blooming peony head, with a gorgeous Zhuhai jade ring on the hairpin, shining, really a beautiful peony flower.
Shen Fengyue looked at Hongmei who was looking forward to his judgment with a complicated expression. With this peony head on her head, he really became the most flamboyant "woman" in the audience.
"Niangniang, how is it?" Hongmei was complacent about her work. "This is a new hairstyle that slaves have recently learned, which makes Niangniang just like the flower of wealth and honor in this world, beautiful beyond measure."
Everyone said this, Shen Fengyue is not good at attacking the confidence of the little girl, so she can only praise her conscience: "It's so chic, this palace is very happy."
After Hongmei was affirmed by the imperial concubine, she was overjoyed, and the smile on her face became more and more charming.
Shen Fengyue opened her eyes again, raised the mirror and looked closer, she shook her head from side to side, the peony head was as steady as Mount Tai, and the jewelry on it flashed with his shaking, and after looking at it for a long time, she felt strangely beautiful.
The banquet was held at night, and after the day passed, the main event came.
The palace is covered with red ribbons up and down, and red lanterns are hung on the trees along the road. At night, the candles in the lanterns are lit, revealing a dark red light. The entire palace was beaming and prosperous.
The Chu Emperor held a family banquet. In addition to the imperial relatives and concubines of various palaces, he was the favored minister and the triumphant Cannon General.
Emperor Chu sat on the main seat, the queen was on his left, and the rest were arranged in order of rank.
Shen Fengyue's hairstyle really didn't live up to Hongmei's expectations. As soon as she appeared on the stage, it attracted everyone's attention, even though her hairstyle was a bit peculiar, but fortunately, she looked so good.
He was going to sit in his seat according to the rules, but after seeing Emperor Chu whispering a few words to Eunuch Shen, Eunuch Shen walked towards him.
Several little eunuchs carried his case to Emperor Chu's right hand, Shen Fengyue: "This is?"
Shen □□'s gaze deliberately stayed on his hairstyle for a few seconds, then turned his face away, and after a pause he said, "The emperor's entrusted niece sits there, come closer."
Just when Shen Fengyue was about to leave, Shen □□ still couldn't hold back his rudeness, and added: "The hair style of the noble concubine today is very unique."
Shen Fengyue: "..."
Everyday is achieved by Qi (√)
Shen Fengyue snorted coldly, supported her waist and rushed away, and when she was in front of Emperor Chu, she immediately became discouraged and turned into a soft upper body: "Sanlang."
This Saburo cry made Emperor Chu feel extremely at ease. He asked a few questions with concern, leaned out, reached out and touched his stomach a few times, his face filled with the joy of a loving father.
Shen Fengyue was afraid that the system would go crazy, but she didn't expect the system to be sensible.
The dishes are served, and everyone's table is the same. In the open space in the middle, the dedicated court dancers began to dance, accompanied by silk and bamboo wind music, which was a great enjoyment both physically and mentally, and Shen Fengyue was mesmerized by it.
When the wine was filled, Emperor Chu raised the glass to the northwest General Paohui and said, "I wish the general victory!"
General Paohui got up quickly, also raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Lord."
The two drank it all in one go, and after drinking it, Emperor Chu seemed to remember some old things, and his demeanor was quite nostalgic.
"After the Shen family fell, you took on the responsibility of guarding the frontier. You have been loyal for many years, and you have been away from your wife, children, and parents. I am very moved. General, I have suffered you for so many years."
General Paohui is a military general, and his words and deeds are more free and easy than literati. He clasped his fists towards Emperor Chu and said, "It is the duty of the minister to protect the family and the country, and it is an honor to be loyal to your majesty."
"I only wish that the country of Chu can continue to be peaceful and prosperous!"
"Okay!" Emperor Chu clapped the table, "What Aiqing said is really my intention. You and I, the monarch and the minister, are united, why worry that this country of Chu is not prosperous?"
After all, they drank a few cups together, and Shen Fengyue watched with a cold eye, too lazy to listen to these gossips.
After the monarch and ministers finished touting each other, Emperor Chu turned his head: "It's just this Shen family, I really feel cold..."
Cooperate when it is time to cooperate. General Paohui quickly cooperated with Emperor Chu's play, and continued: "Sir, don't be sad, the Shen family lived up to your expectations and did such treasonous and humiliating things. Not ashamed of what they did."
"I will always be loyal to Your Majesty."
Emperor Chu was very satisfied with General Paohui's discernment, and after the consolation of other courtiers, he sighed and stopped talking about it.
Shen □□ saw that they were so pretentious in front of him, the eyes that lowered their heads and concealed were condensed, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to control himself.
General Paohui was his father's old department, and he was raised by his father, but he betrayed the old master and joined Emperor Chu.
In the middle of the banquet, Shen □□ asked the little eunuch under him to replace him and then silently retired.
Shen Fengyue began to pay attention to Shen when Emperor Chu and General Paohui secretly stepped on the Shen family and sang the drama of monarch and minister loyalty. Seeing him go out now, her face didn't seem very good-looking. Then he and Emperor Chu used the excuse of being bored in the house and wanted to go outside to blow the wind and slipped out together.
Seeing that there weren't many people outside, he put down his pretentious backing motions, hurried to look for it, and finally saw Eunuch Shen at the corner of the promenade.
Shen □□ leaned back against the pillar, raised his head slightly, and stared at the distant scenery in a trance. The wind lifted his sideburns, and a few mischievous ears were raised to cover half of his eyes.
In the distance are the lights of thousands of homes, the red silk is like a dragon, and the lanterns are red eye-catching.
All this seemed extremely quiet, like a painting, Shen Fengyue held her breath as if she didn't notice it, for fear of disturbing him.
Shen's senses are keen, and he sensed it the moment he approached. He just glanced at him in an arc and turned back again, without saying a word.
It was this look that made Shen Fengyue's heart skip a beat, he took a few steps forward, got closer to him, and after seeing that the other party didn't say anything, he sat next to him on the corridor.
Follow his angle to see the distant landscape.
Neither of the two said a word, the atmosphere was quiet, and there was only a gentle breeze.
"But you're in a bad mood?" After a long while, Shen Fengyue broke the silence.
Shen Fengyue was sitting, but Shen □□ was standing, his eyes drooped slightly at the flower-like head, the flower-like head moved, and a beautiful face was raised, with curved eyebrows and a pair of eyes Couldn't hide the concern.
Shen □□ moved slightly forward, and saw the small section of the fair neck that the imperial concubine hid under the heavy winter clothes.
There is a slight convex arc on the straight line, very subtle, if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to detect it.
Shen □□'s eyes moved slightly, and a dark light flashed by.
"Very unhappy." He answered Shen Fengyue's question.
"Huh?" Shen Fengyue didn't expect him to be so upright.
Shen Fengyue's eyes are very clean, and it is hard to imagine that the legendary concubine Yan Gui, who is the favorite of the sixth palace, will have such clean eyes.
Perhaps it was his clean temperament that attracted him, so he couldn't help but approach him step by step to get to know him.
Or maybe it was the pair of eyes he looked down at in the heavy rain that knew nothing of his maliciousness, but full of trusting eyes, shining like black pearls, filled him all over, making him unable to take action.
Shen □□ threw away his armor and armor every time he looked back, taking back the evil thoughts that had been released. As before, for the first time in thirteen years, I am willing to open my heart, dig out the memories, and tell them to this clean person.
"My father, Shen Yang, was a well-known general of the state of Chu. He came from a humble and lowly background and joined the army at the age of seventeen. With his military exploits, he traded his flesh and blood and many scars all over his body for his later glory."
"He fought a lot of battles, and every time he returned from a victory, my mother would hug me when I was young and follow the people to welcome him."
Shen □□ looked at his hand and said, "Everyone was very happy, and welcomed him with a warm pat and a red palm."
"Flowers, applause, and roaring voices."
With the description of his words, Shen Fengyue also seemed to be taken to the past by him.
The people stood guard at the gate of Chang'an City. As soon as the gate opened, a general, riding a tall horse and wearing armor, led his subordinates from the streets of Chang'an to the front of his house in the applause and praise of the people.
People applauded, their faces flushed with excitement, and they welcomed the general who returned from defending their homeland, defending their country, and defeating them.
Victory, popular support, and fame belong to him.
"He spends a lot of time with us, and he is not good at words. When he sent a letter to the family, he received only a few words."
"What?" Shen Fengyue asked.
"Seeing the words is like a face, don't worry about it. Are you safe?"
Shen □□ sighed: "I once blamed him, but as I got older, I understood him, admired him, and was proud of having such an indomitable father."
"General he..." Shen Fengyue had already guessed it.
In the end, Shen □□ did not say the result, but only said eight words: "The emperor is ruthless, and the traitor is in power."
Shen Fengyue was silent, a touch of sadness welling up in her heart.
He remembered the information given by the system, so the final result of the general was that the master was jealous of the king and his reputation was envied by the treacherous ministers.
Thinking of the arrogance of the two dog boys and men at the dinner just now, Shen Fengyue made a decision in her heart, what he wanted to do for that person, the loyal and brave general, should not be abused by this.
He suddenly stood up, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, but his tone was very serious: "Father-in-law, don't be sad anymore, Ben Gong has a gift that I want to give you later."
Shen □□ has no interest in the gift he mentioned.
Shen Fengyue didn't stay here any longer, and left after saying that.
"System, work."
The system heard his conversation with Shen just now, and understood what he meant: "Received."
After he communicated his plan to the system, Brother Tong said that this little thing was covered by it.
After the imperial concubine left, Shen □□ wanted to stay in a daze for a while, but his heart was inexplicably confused. Looking at the direction of the imperial concubine's departure, after thinking about it, he still followed.
Here, Shen Fengyue returned to the table, smiled at Emperor Chu and suddenly said loudly: "My concubine is a female class, and I have never seen such a heroic general as a general. Everyone knows that General Paohui's martial arts are strong and difficult. When I meet an enemy, the concubine has a new opera troupe here, and they say that they are very skilled, and they can even use silk as a weapon. The concubine dared to use this small opera troupe to experience the extraordinary martial arts of the general."
The queen scolded: "Yan Guifei!"
Emperor Chu was not optimistic about this proposal at first, but was confused by Shen Fengyue's smile, nodded and agreed.
General Pao Hui was embarrassed that he would be looked down upon by a concubine, picked up the matching sword on the side, got up from his seat, dispersed the dancer in the middle, moved his limbs, looked at Shen Fengyue and said, "Concubine, please enlighten me. ."
Shen Fengyue clapped her hands three times, and the system pinched out several Huadan appearances, and a woman with a silk cloth in her hand walked out of the door.
General Paohui looked at these graceful women, and said disdainfully, "Is the noble concubine teasing the minister, these weak women, the minister is afraid of killing them with a single slash."
Shen Fengyue shook her head and said, "The general's statement is too bad. There is a huge disparity between the two sides. For the sake of fairness, the general is also asked to cover his eyes with a black cloth."
General Paohui himself tied the black cloth brought by the palace servants to his face in two or three times.
Shen □□ saw this scene when he came in, with interest in his eyes, and looked at Shen Fengyue who was in high spirits in the seat, but wanted to see what tricks this person wanted to play.
"The maiden may have started?"
Shen Fengyue said: "General please." He got up from his seat and was ready to watch the show, play with Brother Tong? Afraid of dying.
Several actors started to move after Shen Fengyue gave an order. They threw long silks and softly attacked General Paohui. Attacking at his feet, General Paohui stumbled without checking for a while, and staggered a few times before standing up.
"Bitch!" He roared and started slashing with his sword.
The actor's drapery danced with flowers, and his long white sleeves danced to and fro, and they all skillfully avoided the general's sword, but instead played him like a monkey jumping on his feet.
General Paohui was very angry, and his face was flushed red, but he couldn't cut it with random cuts.
The system has disrupted his mind, making him stop thinking, just like a rude and savage but stupid animal, rushing around.
Shen Fengyue was the first to be amused, and when he covered half of his face with his sleeves and laughed, the others followed suit.
The laughter grew louder and louder. Amidst the laughter in the hall, how could General Paohui be so humiliated and shouted that he was not allowed to laugh, but the more he was like this, the more ridiculous and amusing he became.
The cloth was wrapped around him in circles, like taming a ferocious beast. When General Paohui reacted, he was already wrapped tightly in the cloth and couldn't get out.
The outcome has been divided, the actor let go. General Paohui immediately tore off the black cloth covering his eyes angrily, and glared at the actors in front of him: "Bold and cheap maid, see if I won't kill you!"
Several actors knelt down quickly, and Shen Fengyue also said in time: "General, please calm down, these slaves are so blind to see, playing with the general like this, the concubine will stay with them and teach them a lesson."
Only then did General Paohui remember the initiator of everything, and looked at Shen Fengyue viciously: "Yan Guifei, what do you mean!"
Chu Di first glared at Shen Fengyue, and then came out to smooth things out: "Okay, let go of the general soon and send him down to rest."
"Yan Guifei, you are making a fool of yourself." She didn't call Yan Yan, which means she was really angry.
But Shen Fengyue knew how much this bad old man was worth, so he whispered to Saburo in a low voice, and then apologized aggrievedly: "Sanlang, Yanyan is wrong."
"You, you!" Emperor Chu couldn't do anything about him, and finally just gouged him out fiercely, and didn't criticize him too much.
Everyone was amazed, and His Majesty's favor for Yan Nu was evident.
After the incident was dismissed by Emperor Chu in an understatement, the banquet continued, with staggered preparations and a harmonious atmosphere.
Shen □□ remembered the farce that happened just now, was amused, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the imperial concubine, who knew that Shen Fengyue just turned her face to the side and winked at him, as if she was taking credit.
Understanding his gift, Shen □□ turned his face away and deliberately didn't look at him, covered his lips and coughed lightly, but there was a smile that couldn't be turned away.
Shen Fengyue started talking to the system after seeing people ignore her: "Brother Tong, you did a good job."
The system said humbly: "You are not bad for each other."
It's another piece of mutual advocacy, false brotherhood.
