Chapter 254 Laner's Marriage
Now that the emperor was older, he valued family ties more than before, and he also loved festive reunions, so he got interested and took out money from his own treasury to ask the sixth prince to serve wine to his grandson.
Originally, the emperor had some complaints about Shen Qiujun dominating the sixth prince, but who allowed Shen Qiujun to have children? After marrying the sixth prince and giving birth to three legitimate sons one after another, the emperor had nothing to say, and the sixth prince himself was still under control. If you are so happy, no one else has time to be that evil person.
The sixth prince hurriedly stepped forward to thank the emperor, and asked Shen Qiujun to carry Brother Zhen into the palace that day to express his gratitude.
The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "This gratitude is not rushed. On the day of the full moon ceremony, he is the biggest, so I won't go and steal his limelight. When he passes the full moon and the weather is good, I will bring him and let me see him." grandson."
The sixth prince did not dare to expect the emperor to go to Anle Palace to drink the full moon wine that day. He had no face and no reason, so he smiled and said: "My son will thank his father for his love for him first, and wait until the full moon wine is over before taking the wine." He came to thank me personally."
The emperor nodded, glanced at the prince next to him, and said: "On that day, I should thank you brother. I am old now and have low energy. I have planned many things, but always forget them in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, I still have Your elder brother has to remind me, otherwise I will really miss Brother Zhen’s full moon wine. Let him come and thank his uncle properly then."
The sixth prince hurriedly stepped forward and thanked the prince, but the prince pulled him to prevent him from saluting, and said with a smile: "We are brothers, we can't write two words "zhuang" in one stroke, so I treat your son just like me. As a child, I dare not ask him to be more successful in the future. As long as he is filial to his grandfather, your love for him will not be in vain."
The emperor nodded secretly after hearing this. The prince and the wise king had been at odds for many years, and there was no way to reconcile them. The prince ascended the throne, and the wise king must have been left aside. Moreover, because of the competition among the concubines in the past, the prince and several younger ones below him were also involved. The relationship is also not good, everyone is adding fuel to the fire. The prince is mediocre in talent and needs a helper. The sixth prince is cold-faced and cruel, so he can be used openly or covertly.
On the day of Brother Zhen's full-moon banquet, Prince Anle's palace was filled with guests, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses in front of the door.
Just because the emperor and the prince have this interest, the princes naturally want to join in the fun to show their love for their nephew. The other courtiers will not come with a big fanfare to celebrate the baby's full moon with wine, but in the capital There were many people related to the Shen family, and coupled with the connections of the Crown Prince and other princes, basically everyone with respectability in the capital sent congratulatory gifts.
Prince Anle's palace had to invite those people one by one. They also set up running tables in the courtyard to entertain the male guests outside, while the inner courtyard entertained all the ladies.
Because the princes and concubines were of high status and could not be escorted to and entertained the female guests, Shen Qiujun had no choice but to ask Shen Xijun and Cheng Xiumei to help greet everyone.
Fortunately, Sister Huan had already gotten married and had a son at this time. Although she was not the daughter-in-law of the house, she had already experienced how to treat people and treat people. At this time, she also helped to entertain the ladies with lower status, which made Shen Qiujun feel at ease. Sitting in the hall with his son in his arms, he accepted blessings from everyone.
The day passed in a lively manner. Brother Zhen only showed his face. Most of the time, he was still asleep. However, Shen Qiujun had a full day. Although he was a little tired, he still pulled Brother Song'er and asked them what they were going to do today. performance of the hospital.
The sixth prince was also very proud at this time. Among the brothers, he was the most legitimate son. Looking at Brother Song, although he was still honest and honest, he also did a very good job outside. Brother Xu, under the leadership of his brother Being well-behaved has earned him enough face, so in front of his wife and children, he couldn't help but praise Brother Song a few times.
Shen Qiujun was also happy after hearing this. Brother Piansong followed suit and imitated the Sixth Prince. He also summarized Brother Xu's performance today and solemnly praised his younger brother. That appearance made Shen Qiujun even more amused. , even the fatigue all over my body has been reduced by most.
For a while, Brother Song and his brother went back to their room to sleep. Thinking of bringing their son to the palace tomorrow to thank him, Shen Qiujun also washed up early, chatted with the sixth prince for a few words, and then fell asleep.
At this time, Shen Lijun was sitting blankly on the bed, feeling sad.
Shen Qiujun and her son really stole the show today. No, it should be said that it was Shen Qiujun who stole the show. A woman in her late thirties had given birth to three sons in a row. Not only did she not look old, she was even more radiant, with a smile on her face. It's full of happiness.
Why not be happy? Not every head wife can give birth to three legitimate sons, and not every head wife can have her husband treat her wholeheartedly for many years and not even take a concubine. Moreover, Shen Qiujun has a good foundation. Today How could it not be gorgeous and eye-catching?
Although the sixth prince's position is lower than that of other brothers, who dares to slight Shen Qiujun in the Da Qi Dynasty? The Shen family does not have such a big reputation. It is not because the sixth prince is vicious and cruel, but he obeys Shen Qiujun's words. Now it seems that The blessing of having a younger sister is truly a rare one in the world.
Shen Lijun sighed, not to mention Shen Qiujun, let's just say that today's look at Shen Xijun and Cheng Xiumei, their appearance is not a bit worse than her own back then, but yesterday, they were still young and beautiful. As before, the bright and heartfelt smile on his face really hurts the eyes and makes people even more jealous.
How can I be like myself? I have put my whole heart on the wise king. After more than ten years of hard work, my appearance has been worn away bit by bit. Old age has slowly taken over my face. When I dress up every day, I often have to muster the courage to open my eyes. The self in the mirror is just like this, and I have lost my husband's heart and my mother's family.
The more Shen Lijun thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and her tears fell all over the floor like broken beads. At this moment, the wise king happened to walk in. She was supposed to sleep in Shen Lijun's room today.
King Xian saw the tears on Shen Lijun's face at a glance. He was already in a bad mood, and had been forced to drink a lot of wine by the Sixth Prince. He was feeling very uncomfortable. He couldn't help shouting "bad luck" when he saw this.
Seeing the disgust on King Xian's face, Shen Lijun let herself shed tears. She was no longer as gentle and considerate as before, and was mostly discouraged. She didn't bother to act virtuous, nor did she get up to serve him. She just sat there silently.
King Xian drank too much and was feeling sick. Seeing Shen Lijun being so indifferent, he felt angry. Then he saw Shen Lijun looking old and aged under the lamp. Most of her beauty had been lost. He could no longer be with his young and beautiful concubine. The waiter couldn't help but said coldly: "Since you don't have the intention to serve me, I have no choice but to go to her room."
Shen Lijun also lost her temper and sneered: "Please do it."
The wise king brushed his sleeves and sneered: "Well, it's a waste of effort on a piece of saline-alkali land. It's better to leave some energy elsewhere, which may be of some use."
Shen Lijun's heart was stung so hard that she was so angry that she couldn't say a word. She watched her husband leave ruthlessly. She couldn't help but shed tears all night. She didn't feel energetic at all when she woke up the next day. The concubines who had been sent to pay their respects were leaning in front of the collapse in a daze.
Sister Lan felt heartbroken when she saw her mother looking older than the past few days. She also knew that her father, who was supposed to stay in her mother's room last night, went to live with another concubine, but she, a girl in the boudoir, couldn't control her parents' room. When she was in trouble, she stepped forward and said something else to make her mother happy.
Seeing that her daughter was so sensible and filial, Shen Lijun was greatly relieved and her mood improved a lot. She smiled and said for a moment: "They say that daughters are mothers' caring little cotton-padded jackets. This is true. It's a pity that you are already an adult. The girl is with you, no matter how reluctant you are to let her go, I will still tell you about her."
When Sister Lan heard about her marriage, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. However, because the King Xian now only has one son and one daughter, and the son is young, it is difficult to explain some things clearly. However, she has seen that her daughter has been smart since she was a child, and her courage is also extraordinary. , I couldn't help but feel very fond of her, and would tell her some things, so Sister Lan understood very well and supported her father's great cause, and seeing that her father had few children and her younger brother was young, she couldn't help with some things. As the eldest daughter, she has to help her father more.
So after the blush on Sister Lan's face subsided, she said anyway: "Parents have always made the final decision on children's marriage, and daughters naturally obey their parents. But there is one sentence here: Now my father has not accomplished his great cause, his brother is still young, and my daughter is a woman." She has no talent or power, but as long as she can help her father, my daughter will never complain."
Shen Lijun felt a pain in her heart after hearing this, and said repeatedly: "You are such a stupid woman. Wouldn't this ruin your life? I am a person who has been here and understand what makes a woman the happiest. Marrying an ordinary woman like your cousin Huan People, isn’t it bad for a monogamous couple to have children? Sometimes it’s better for us women at home to take less care of the affairs of men outside.”
Sister Lan sneered in her heart when she heard this. She is a smart person and knows how unlucky men are in the world. Her father was very loving to her mother back then, but more than ten years later, her father still has many concubines, and the relationship between her and her mother is still very serious. It's getting rarer and thinner day by day. Who knows that cousin Huan won't follow in her mother's footsteps?
Sister Lan thought for a while and said with a smile: "There are too few infatuated men in the world. How many people in the world can hit the right one? It doesn't need to mention how the cousin-in-law of the Shi family treats cousin Huan well. In the final analysis, it is not because the Yongning Marquis Mansion banished him The family was so oppressive that he had to be a lowly boy. When he gets to stand out in the future, he still doesn’t know what will happen. Of course, with his father and sixth uncle here, he may never feel proud in this life. My daughter really looks down on such a useless man, and would rather not marry than marry such a worthless man."
When Sister Lan said this, she quietly approached her mother and whispered: "In the future, if my father succeeds in his great career, all the men in this world will not be able to pick and choose their daughters. It is just a moment of grievance now, but it can be exchanged for freedom and ease in the rest of their lives. Why not."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Prince Xian laughing outside the door and saying: "Okay, okay, you are indeed the princess of Prince Xian's palace, how can I be compared to ordinary women."
