Lost a baby in ancient times

Chapter 68

Concubine De, who was sitting on the table to the left of the emperor, was doing the same at this moment, she lowered her head to hide the sharpness of her eyes, the emperor actually embarrassed her child at this time, which made her hate the general's mansion and the empress mother and child to death.Although they looked down on that dish, the glory behind that dish was different. What the emperor did now was tantamount to slapping his son in public.

The emperor's action, which was similar to a warning, never wanted to make Chen Mingfeng and Concubine De feel cruel. Of course, they have not put it into action now, and they will wait for the detailed deployment later before starting to act.

The banquet came to an end slowly amidst all kinds of guesses and compliments from the crowd. After two full hours from the beginning of You Shi to the beginning of Hai Shi, the emperor finally announced the end of the banquet.Everyone got up and knelt down to send off the empress, and then went back to the mansion, but the prince and the prince and concubine who had already sealed the mansion stayed in the palace. To accompany the emperor to watch the old age.

It's just that when Shen Yihan walked out of "Yongshun Palace" with everyone, he always felt that someone was watching him from behind, so he glanced back, and he saw the shadow of that person, so he walked forward slowly, Then he kept some distance away from his father, and it was not until everyone left the hall that Chen Yufeng appeared from the shadows.

Chen Yufeng didn't say anything unnecessary, but directly took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Yihan, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said softly, "New Year's gift, for you!" Shen Yihan looked at Chen Yufeng's slightly With some expectant eyes, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a jade pendant from his clothes, then took it off and handed it to Chen Yufeng. A deep smile appeared in the corner of Chen Yufeng's eyes. The carved Pixiu was worn by Yi Han since he was a child, and it can be said to be the most memorable thing on his body.

"I'll help you put it on!" Shen Yihan saw that Chen Yufeng didn't reach out to pick it up, so he took a step forward and smiled gently at Chen Yufeng.

"Okay!" Chen Yufeng replied, and then lowered his head. Seeing this, Shen Yihan directly helped him take the Pixiu away. Chen Yufeng looked at the pendant on his chest and touched it with his hands. A little bit of body temperature.Chen Yufeng carefully put it inside his clothes, and said to Shen Yihan, "I will treat it well." After speaking, he himself took out the things in his purse, it turned out to be a piece of jade, the best Although the old ice jade is not as expensive as the glass jade, it is exquisitely carved, with landscape figures on one side and engravings on the other: Zhanbi Qiao, Green Bamboo Yiyi.Zhan Bi Qi Ao, green bamboo green.Then there is the source of these four poems "The Book of Songs Weifeng Qiao Pian".

The two big men send some tokens of love between them, and naturally there will be no poems of love and love engraved on them, because what Shen Yihan likes most is the tenacity of bamboo, and the heroic spirit of "rather than bending" and "Zhongtong". The measure of "outward straightness" is simple and honest in nature, unique and elegant in taste, quiet and pleasant in appearance. The so-called "there is a festival when it is unearthed at the end, and it is more open-minded when it is Lingyun." "In addition, Chen Yufeng likes to read a subset of the Book of Songs on weekdays, so when someone carved this piece of jade, he carved that poem on it.

After such a delay, the two of them had no extra time, Shen Yihan wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible, and Chen Yufeng wanted to go to the "Fengqi Palace" to accompany the empress to watch the new year, so he leaned over Shen Yihan's ears with some reluctance. Bian whispered, "Remember to wait for me at night!" Then he turned and left, Shen Yihan stayed where he was, quietly watching Chen Yufeng's back as he went away.

He knew that since he chose this path, he would never be able to live with Chen Yufeng in an open and honest way in this life, but at this moment Shen Yihan didn't have any complaints or dissatisfaction, even if he saw Chen Yufeng coming from Shen Yufeng not far away He didn't even feel sad when Dieyi took over Chen Haoyi.Facing the distant figure with a slight smile, Shen Yihan tightly held the jade in his hand, then turned around, and walked out briskly.

Last year, because he was leading the army to fight outside, he had never been with Chen Yufeng, but this spring, thinking of what that person said just now, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yihan's mouth, and he felt much happier.When he came to the gate of the palace quickly, the ministers hadn't finished walking. After all, he was a general and his speed was not comparable to those of the civil servants. It was just that Chen Yufeng glanced at the position of his carriage, and the driver was anxiously looking around. Looking around, I'm afraid I won't find him.

Shen Yihan walked up to the carriage, got into the carriage and sat directly on the other side of the coachman, watching the coachman whipping his whip, and watching the horse slowly walk out.The place where the carriages of the General's Mansion stopped was more towards the outside, just thinking that they could leave as soon as possible after the banquet was over.Old Madam Shen is getting older, and she no longer participates in these palace banquets, so the three of them are still waiting to go back to accompany the old Madam to watch the year.

The carriage moved slowly, and the cool breeze was blowing. Because of the kung fu in his body, Shen Yihan didn't feel cold, but just felt refreshed. The hot blush on his face also cooled down slowly in the cool wind, and his complexion slowly softened. Same as usual.It took nearly an hour to walk for half an hour on weekdays, plus the time from "Yongshun Palace" to the gate of the palace, now it seems that it is about to be the first moment of the time, and it is not long before the time of Zhengzi. Going to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.

At this time, in the "Phoenix Palace", the prince, concubine, and princess headed by Chen Yufeng and Shen Dieyi all knelt down and wished the emperor a happy new year and good health.The empress smiled and asked everyone to stand up, and then gave everyone a big red envelope. Of course, the eldest son of the Prince's Mansion not only received a bigger red envelope than everyone else, but also sat on the seat as he wished. into the arms of the Queen.

By the third quarter of the fourth Yin hour of the first lunar month, that is, 45:15 a.m. modern time ([-] minutes in ancient times), he will be a full year old. Although Chen Haoyi is not yet a year old, he can speak a lot, and He was also very pleased with the empress, sitting in the empress's arms for a while, an auspicious word came out of his mouth, which made the empress laugh.

But no matter how happy you are, the next salute is still indispensable, just to the few high-ranking concubines, the princes and others don't need to kneel down, just salute with a long bow, and the female relatives also salute gracefully, Even if it's over, of course the red envelope is also indispensable.

After that, all the concubines saluted the empress on the main seat one by one, and the auspicious words in their mouths were all one after another, without repetition at all.The emperor just nodded with a smile. After the ceremony was completed, the emperor waved his hand to let all the lower-ranking nobles go down, and arranged for the imperial dining room to deliver the dumplings for keeping the year to their bedrooms.

The carriage quickly drove to the gate of the General's Mansion, but the guard at the gate directly removed the side door to allow the carriage to enter directly, and finally the carriage stopped slowly at the second gate.When the carriage came to a complete stop, Chen Yufeng jumped lightly and stood under the carriage, and then reminded him, "Father, mother, you're home!"

After Shen Yihan finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a rough hand with some calluses, and then Shen Moyun walked out first, followed by Xie Jinyun, Shen Yihan stretched out his hand, Xie Jinyun directly handed it to his son, Shen Yihan supported himself Mother, and then watched her step on the footstool slowly, until he landed safely, he let go of her mother's hand.

The girl who got off the carriage at the back just silently followed the three of them towards the "Garden of Mercy" where the old lady lived.Seeing the long-awaited three people finally come back, the old lady patted the arhat bed under her and said, "Come, come, sit with my old lady!"

Having said that, Shen Moyun and Xie Jinyun still bowed to the old lady. Of course, auspicious words are essential, and then sat next to the old lady.Then Shen Yihan knelt down in front of the three of them, congratulating the new year.The old matriarch smiled and took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Shen Yihan's hand, "My dear grandson, try to bring back a great-grandson to grandma next year!" As the old matriarch said, the expressions of Shen Yihan and Shen Moyun changed instantly. But soon Shen Moyun came back to his senses, patted Xie Jinyun's shoulder lightly, and the two of them each handed a red envelope to Shen Yihan, finally fooling the matter.

Now the four of them sat on the old matriarch's arhat bed, eating something like dried fruit, and then the housekeeper brought everyone in the mansion to greet the four masters of the general's mansion in batches to celebrate the New Year.Of course, one person also got a lot of red envelopes. Although it was sent by the old lady, Xie Jinyun was already in charge of the general's mansion. Of course, Xie Jinyun wrapped it up early and put it at the old lady's place.

When the New Year's greetings came to an end, the servants brought in a few bowls of dumplings. Although they entered the palace for a banquet, they must not have eaten very well at the banquet. In addition, the dumplings that have been handed down from the previous dynasty are replaced by the old and the new every year. On this occasion, it is the custom of everyone to eat dumplings, so that every household will eat dumplings with their relatives at three o'clock.

Of course, the same is true for everyone in the palace. After those low-ranking concubines retired, the imperial dining room brought out one after another of dumplings, which of course were only eaten by the masters.Shen Dieyi also carried Chen Haoyi from the empress' arms and handed it to Nanny Li.Originally, they were not allowed to bring maidservants when they entered the palace for a banquet, but because Shen Dieyi had a child, she gave permission to bring one person into the palace, so Shen Dieyi gave up her nanny and brought Madam Li, who was more familiar with the palace.

Everyone gathered around the big table of "Luohua Pavilion" in the main hall of "Fengqi Palace". Everyone was sitting to the brim, and each of them had a small bowl in his hand, eating the dumplings that were placed on the small plate in front of him by the palace lady with chopsticks.Of course, Chen Haoyi, the eldest grandson of the emperor, appeared on this table without exception, and Nanny Li helped him to feed him.
