Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 93 (Minor repair)

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Emperor Cheng Yuan called Shen Wenqi, Chang Pinghou, and Shang Shu of the officials to the Hall of Tingzheng separately, presumably to discuss how many soldiers, horses, and money should be brought for this mission.

Baiguan looked at Shen Wenqi’s back and couldn’t help but sigh.

Everyone was whispering.

Look—

Yao Wenjun, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, went down the stone steps and said: “I have been an official for fourteen years. I have never seen such a battle. Who would have thought that the candidate for the general control of the river fell on Shen Wenqi.”

Although the power of the chief governor of the river defense envoy of the Dajin Dynasty was not great in Beijing, he was also a real official of the fourth grade.

The Minister of War Han Yu shrugged his shoulders and whispered: “I’ve really gained a lot of knowledge today.”

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites broke his fingers and counted, “His Royal Highness, Yushitai Hongcheng, Jing Zhaoyin Luyan, Dali Temple Qing Zhou Shuan, Minister of War Zheng Yong, Shangshu Yao Bin of the Ministry of Justice, Minister Suiyu of the Ministry of Justice, Jing Zhao Shao Yin Sun Xu, acting Shao Yin Meng, Meng Wei, and Lu Ye and Lu Ting… Oh, yes, I almost forgot, and Changping Xiao Hou Ye, let me think about who else…”

“Don’t think about it, there are so many people, have you checked it out? It’s you and me, don’t you stand out?”

“As soon as Zhou Shuan’s voice fell, I moved most of my front and back to the right. I can’t just stand there alone.” Yao Wenjun took a deep breath, “What kind of regulations is this? What kind of skills did Shen Wenqi practice in prison? Nothing?”

Han Yu glanced in the direction of Li Di and the sixth prince, and said lightly: “I only know that someone is destined to have trouble sleeping tonight.”

…

After listening to the little eunuch’s whisper, Queen Xu couldn’t hold on to the arrogant and calm face. She grabbed the edge of the square chair with her left hand and took two deep breaths.

After a long while, the six princes stepped into the Anhua Hall.

He paced back and forth with his hands behind his hands, suddenly laughed angrily, and said: “The queen mother didn’t see the prince’s expression. It’s really proud. After today, I’m afraid that most of the court will fall to the East Palace…”

“Come on, don’t fight.” Empress Xu took a sip of the tea channel.

The six princes were taken aback.

“By the end of the year.” Empress Xu raised her eyes and said: “Follow the trend, avoid its sharp edges, and wait for a good time and place.”

“What does the queen mean?”

Empress Xu got up and whispered beside the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince’s eyes widened and shouted: “Mother Queen! If this is defeated…”

Empress Xu said: “Ye’er, since Tianshi Ge was questioned and the Meng family was ransacked, you have lost the right of time and place, and today you have lost the support of the people, and you have already lost. The day when the nations came to the dynasty, it was you. Last chance.”

—

At dusk, the dark clouds dissipated, and the crimson light reflected on the eaves. The rolling of the wheels stopped abruptly, and Shen Wenqi slowly got out of the carriage accompanied by Su Heng.

Seeing his two daughters and Yaozi right in front of him.

At a glance, the whole person seemed to freeze, and his tinnitus overwhelmed the rustling wind.

Shen Jiao and Shen Zhen called out Aye.

Shen Hong ran over with his calf and grabbed Shen Wenqi’s hand.

“Aye, Hong’er misses you.”

Shen Wenqi looked down at his Yaozi, bitterly blocking his throat, as if unable to speak.

One year, even he has grown taller.

Shen Wenqi lowered his head and touched his head, “Um… Aye is back.”

Shen Jia walked over and said, “Quickly enter the house.”

In order to get rid of the bad luck, Shen Zhen placed the brazier in front of Shen Wenqi, stepped over, and entered the inner courtyard.

At first, Shen Zhen didn’t understand why Lu Yan had to give her a three-in and three-out courtyard. She didn’t understand the purpose until today.

The mother of the house made ten dishes. After a year, the family can finally sit down and have a good meal.

Shen Zhen picked up the wooden chopstick and glanced sideways at his father, his thin chin and white sideburns, the corners of his eyes flushed suddenly.

Shen Zhen whispered: “Why didn’t Aye allow me to go to the Dali Temple Prison?”

Shen Wenqi knew exactly what kind of temper his daughter was, and he said softly: “You are a daughter who has not left the pavilion, why go to that kind of place?”

Seeing that she wanted to say more, Shen Wenqi said hurriedly: “Okay, if you have anything, I’ll talk about it later, and eat first.”

Shen Zhen bit his lip and held a wooden chopstick in his hand, and clamped the fish belly into his father’s bowl. After a while, he piled up the top of the hill.

Shen Wenqi looked at the bowl in front of him, feeling mixed for a while.

He was promoted by the first emperor when he was in a weak crown. Since then, his career has been continuously promoted. It can be said that he has been in the sky until he was in prison. Looking at the heavy shackles on his hands, he did not understand why the word Qi family should be placed in front of governing the country…

He once thought that such a day would never happen again.

Shen Wenqi stared at the sons and daughters on the side, deep eyes filled with extremely complicated emotions, the wood chopsticks stuck in the tiger’s mouth, and did not move for a while.

After dinner, Shen Wenqi went back to the house to talk to his children. During the conversation, Shen Hao suddenly sneezed, raised his wrist slightly, and a faint bruise was faintly visible.

Shen Wenqi’s eyes darkened, and she stood up and said dumbly: “Aunt, you come with me.”

The moon hung high, the silver light and shadow sprinkled in the small yard, and the evening breeze blew, only the sound of the crickets in the corner was high and low.

Shen Wenqi covered his face with his eyes, he hesitated, and said in a low voice: “Sister, tell the truth with Aye, Li Di…”

Shen Hao dragged a short dagger, sat down, and whispered softly: “He just refused to reconcile, and he didn’t do anything to me.”

Shen Wenqi looked at her silently, and looked at his eldest daughter quietly, and suddenly tugged at the corner of his mouth like self-deprecating, “It’s my fault, I shouldn’t let you marry him back then.”

“When I first married to Li’s family, my daughter nodded herself. Why should Aye say that?”

Shen Wenqi looked down at his hand.

He was proud of his talents, thinking that as long as Yunyang Hou Mansion could not stand, Li Di would have wolf ambition and would treat her for a lifetime. Thinking about it now, it’s really more ridiculous.

After a while of silence, Shen Hao turned around and said, “How long does Aye plan to go to Yudong this time?”

Shen Wenqi paused and said: “Your Majesty has given me a lot of manpower, and Chang Pinghou will also go with me. With a strength of 30,000 troops, if it is fast, two months will be enough.”

Shen Hao nodded: “Take care of the Aye Road, the Shen family will be long in Japan.”

The disaster in eastern Henan was serious, and Emperor Cheng Yuan ordered Shen Wenqi to set off as soon as possible. At the dawn of the next day, Shen Wenqi packed his bags, and Shen Zhen couldn’t help but redden his eyes again when he saw his father turned on his horse.

He commanded: “Master Shen, we should set off now.”

Shen Wenqi nodded, “Okay.”

Shen Zhen took a deep breath, took two steps forward, grabbed the reins, and said on tiptoes: “Aye, take care on the road, and be sure to return safely.”

Shen Wenqi smiled, rubbed her head, and whispered, “I see.”

Looking at the little girl’s clear and translucent eyes, he thought: What the Shen family has lost, rely on my hands to fight again.

When I come back, I won’t let you suffer any wrongdoing.

He clamped the horse’s belly and walked away.

Shen Zhen watched his nearly half-a-hundred-year-old father gradually go away, and the tears that had been suffocated for a morning fell.

Mother An hugged her in her arms and said, “Don’t cry, Chang Pinghou and the adults will go together, and they will return safely.”

Shen Zhen was crying so hard here, on the other side, Lu Yan’s face could be described as pale.

He was dizzy in front of his eyes, and his heart beat suddenly.

He knew very well in his heart that Shen Wenqi should have set off right now.

Lu Yan’s face was so bad that he could tell it personally. Sun Xu suddenly stopped writing and looked up, “Master Lu, what’s the matter? I’m not feeling well?”

Lu Yan gritted his teeth and said: “It’s okay, it’ll be fine in a while.” Based on past experience, he estimated that the little girl would be all right after crying for an hour.

However, something that she never expected, Shen Zhen’s tears were just like the flood in the east of Henan, which was out of control.

He didn’t stop for the whole day.

When the patience was exhausted, Lu Yan came to the scene.

“Master Lu is so anxious, where is this going?” Meng Wei asked.

Lu Yan clenched his fists and said, “I have committed an old illness, go to the doctor.” After that, he strode out of the office.

Meng Wei took off the black yarn and whispered to Sun Xu: “Master Lu has an old illness? How long has it been? But it’s serious?”

Sun Xu flattened his hands, “Lord Meng, don’t look at me, I’ve heard of it for the first time.

Going around all the way, when Lu Yan arrived at Baoning Fang, the sky was already dark.

He stepped in over the wall very sophisticatedly, pushed his daughter’s boudoir away, and the pain in his heart suddenly disappeared with the squeak of the door.

Shen Zhen curled up on the bed, closed his eyes, looking like he was asleep.

Lu Yan folded his arms on his chest, looked down at her, and sneered.

He sat down and whispered: “Asleep?”

The answer was Shen Zhen’s even breathing.

The man raised the corners of his lips, reached out and touched her earlobe. Seeing that she hadn’t moved, his fingertips casually stroked her white neck and rubbed her collarbone, “Since you are asleep, what are you shaking?”
