Dressed as cannon fodder to raise cubs for the villain prince [Transmigration Book]

It took about four or five miles from Zhuquemen to Xuandemen after crossing the state bridge. It took nearly two hours to walk around the street, and it was almost noon when we arrived at Daqing Hall.Xinke Jinshi waited in a row outside the Daqing Hall, and the sound of the magnificent horns and drums sounded, and they entered the hall one by one for pilgrimage.

The eunuch read out the imperial decree on the steps, ordering Shen Chu, the number one scholar in the new department, to walk for the Zhongshu Province, Fan Yong to walk for the Shangshu Province, both of the seventh rank, Chen Mingyi and Su Zhan for the Imperial Academy, Feng Jing for the Privy Council, all from the Seventh Rank The other top-ranked Jinshi are all up to the sixth rank, and they are all the eighth rank or from the eighth rank.The top three Jinshi either stayed in other temple supervisors, or were dispatched to various prefectures, all from the eighth rank down.

Shen Chu and Fan Yong were also granted a three-entry mansion in the upper reaches of the Bian River on the west side of the inner city, which was a treatment that no one else had.However, among the first few, except for Shen Chu and Fan Yong, who are in a bit of distress, the others are from quite well-to-do families, and they don't lack a house.

The evening banquet was held in the Linshui Hall of Qionglin Garden.

The ministers of the DPRK and China had to come forward to congratulate, and Shen Chu was in the center of the topic, surrounded by people on the inner, third and outer floors, which made him even have an illusion, as if he was not in a solemn and solemn hall, or in a street In front of the gate of the courtyard, these high-ranking ministers and those middle-aged aunts who like to join in the fun look no different, with scrutiny and strange enthusiasm on their faces.

However, these ministers are all able to speak well. They can boast a sea of ​​​​flowers from youthful promise, dragon and phoenix, brilliant writing, jade quality and orchid rhyme, without repeating the same.

Shen Chu felt that his head was buzzing, his face was almost frozen with laughter, and he had to pretend to be humble, what kind of ridiculous praise, what, just a few things over and over again, he couldn't accept everything as ordered, and return to you that's right.

At this moment, a eunuch passed through the surrounding ministers unknowingly like a shifting figure, stood in front of Shen Chu and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Master Shen, the Empress Dowager is here to invite you." The voice was not loud, but just happened to be surrounded by ministers Can hear clearly.

The ministers quickly moved out of the way, looking at Shen Chu with more eager eyes.

Shen Chu felt like a panda in the zoo, the hairs on his back were almost standing up from these eyes staring at him.

Quickly walked out of the Daqing Hall through the side door, and walked along the palace road to the harem.The Empress Dowager lives in the Qingshou Hall on the west side, which is located on the north side of the imperial palace, a little far from the Daqing Hall.

After leaving the hall, Shen Chu asked in a low voice, "I don't know what to call your father-in-law?"

"The villain's surname is Zhang."

The passers-by in the palace lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, and walked in a hurry, while the guards in gold and iron armor stood solemnly, and Shen Chu didn't dare to ask any more questions.

It took a long time for a stick of incense to arrive at the Qingshou Hall.Shen Chu was waiting outside, and Eunuch Zhang went in after passing through.There are ochre-colored gauze curtains hanging inside, two tall bamboo-jointed nasturtium incense burners in the corner, and a landscape screen in the middle.

I saw two figures looming from behind the screen, one was half leaning on the chair of the Eight Immortals, with pearls, hairpins and phoenix crowns on his head, his posture was lazy and rich, and the other was standing respectfully beside him, wearing a simple bun.

After Zhang Gonggong introduced him, he withdrew.

Shen Chu didn't dare to look too much, bowed his head and knelt down to salute, "At the beginning of the sinking, please greet the Empress Dowager."

"Like, it's really similar—hey, I'm old, and I can't ignore many things."

The mother next to her coaxed, "What did the queen mother say? You are still very young. Standing with the Ninth Prince, those who don't know think you are the prince's sister."

The queen mother laughed, "You have such a clever mouth, you know how to make Ai's family happy."

Madam Wan smiled and said, "It is also the skill of this old slave to make the Empress Dowager happy."

The Empress Dowager nodded Wan Momo with her finger, "You!—"

His tone turned solemn and he said: "Get up, give the seat to Zhuangyuan Lang."

Shen Chu thought, this Madam Wan seems to be a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager, the relationship between the two is not like master and servant, but like sisters.

"This is the first time Ai's family has seen you. Xiao Jiu has often mentioned you to Ai's family, but I haven't seen you. Seeing you now, Mr. Shen is really beautiful."

In Shen Chu's heart, he felt that the adjective Empress Dowager was not so beautiful, and it always sounded a little bit hostile. He replied respectfully, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your compliment."

Madam Wan laughed and said, "Master Shen is an honest person."

"However, this old slave feels that Mr. Shen's nose and mouth are very similar to the Ninth Prince's when he was a child, especially the little dimple at the corner of his mouth. It's just that the Ninth Prince seldom smiles now, so I haven't seen it much. "

"Sure enough, the Ninth Prince has a predestined relationship with Shen Gongzi. No wonder the Ninth Prince wants to recognize Shen Gongzi as his adopted son."

The Queen Mother was suspicious for a moment, and said to Shen Chu, "Come closer and have a look with me?"

Shen Chu was at a loss, and got involved in this somehow.He thinks that Mammy Wan is too good at lying. He has never felt that he and King Yun look alike before. The mouth and nose are not all like that. What kind of dimples are there? He has never seen King Yun have any , besides, their family also has one.

Every time I see the little guy laughing, a pear dimple at the corner of his mouth will be looming, especially the little guy loves to smile, he looks really cute.Thinking of the little guy, Shen Chu couldn't help but smile on his face.

The queen mother happened to see the smile on Shen Chu's face, she couldn't help being a little stunned, and said for a long time, "It's really similar, especially when she smiles, it's exactly the same as Xiaojiu when she was a child." It probably aroused the softest emotion in her heart. The initial attitude and speech are much better.

Shen Chu was startled, and couldn't help tensing up all over. Hearing the Queen Mother's words, he quickly put away the smile on his face, and thought that Mammy Wan was too powerful, so he led the Queen Mother away with just a few words.It is said that he looks like King Yun when he laughs, and the two of them can't fight each other.Anyway, he didn't suffer, so he didn't mind.

"In the future, when I have free time, I will often come to the palace to sit and see the old lady of the Ai family. She is old, and she likes to be lively, but this one or two, I don't see her a few times a year."

"I know, but Dao Ai's family has raised two sons. I don't know, I thought Ai's family would die alone."

Madam Wan: "The Empress Dowager was joking, which one is not filial, Your Majesty or the Ninth Prince, you would find it bothering you to come to pay your respects every two days."

The Queen Mother snorted and asked again, "Has Xiao Chu ever been married?"

Shen Chu's heart skipped a beat, thinking of a woman's heart, it's really a needle in the sea, it's like the sky in July and the face of a child, it changes as soon as it changes, the one who was the champion and Mr. Yes, it sounded like spring breeze turning into rain, but it made him a little restless.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, Xiaguan already has a son under his knees, and he is three years old now."

Madam Wan pretended to be strange, "How come I heard that Mr. Shen doesn't have a wife in his family?"

Shen Chu's scalp tightened, "Zai Zai's mother gave birth to him with dystocia, and later because she missed her dead wife, she didn't renew the baby." He was supposed to spread this lie, and he will definitely say the same thing in front of the emperor in the future. I don't know if it counts or not. It's a lie.But he didn't want to either. Could it be that it would be horrifying for him to say that the cub was born by him, and it would be sad to be treated as a monster by the people.

Wan Momo covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Young Master Shen is infatuated, and he is very similar to the Ninth Prince."

Glancing at the queen mother for a moment, she found that the queen mother seemed not very happy, and felt that she had been slapped on the horse's leg, so she just stood there silently and did not speak.

Fortunately, the queen mother didn't get too entangled with this, but she was very curious, "Your child is called Zai Zai? Send it to the palace another day for Ai's family to see. This person likes children when he is old. Since Xiao Jiu recognized you as a Adopted son, the Ai family also regards you as a grandson."

"Xiaojiu has never married and had children. It has always been a heart problem for the Ai family. But the child has grown up and his mind is hardened. No one can persuade him. The Ai family is getting old day by day. Go, who else in this world can accompany him."

"Now it's a good thing to recognize you as a foster son. I hope you will cherish it in the future."

Shen Chu's heart was touched, and he felt that the queen mother was no different from all mothers in the world in front of King Yun, and it seemed even more sympathetic. He has been anxious about King Yun's lifelong event.

He solemnly said, "This humble minister should remember it in his heart."

After asking a few more words, he asked Shen Chu to back down, and asked Eunuch Zhang to send them back, and rewarded them with a lot of food, for Shen Chu's cubs and even for Shen's mother.

The queen mother half-lyed on the couch in front of the window, closed her eyes and meditated, and sighed with Madam Wan, "After what you said, the Ai family really looks more and more like it. So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Ai family has almost forgotten Xiaojiu. What was it like when I was a child, when I saw Xiao Chu, I couldn't help but think of many interesting things about Xiao Jiu's childhood."

Madam Wan: "That's not true. The old servant felt like this Mr. Shen the first time he saw it. It's really fate."

"You're an old bastard, nothing can escape your eyes, and your mouth looks like it's been smeared with honey."

"Hey, sometimes the Ai family would wonder if they were too hard-hearted at the beginning and did something wrong. Xiao Jiu knelt in front of the door for three days and three nights, and the Ai family didn't soften their hearts in the slightest. Now that I think about it, if I could change my son Smile, so what if you save Shen Lang's life?"

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a while, it was all old age bumps, and it would not be good if it was found out.Madam Wan persuaded, "It's not the queen mother who has committed such a big crime in Ningguo's government. The queen mother should not blame herself anymore. If she wants to blame, she can only blame this fate."

"Life?"

"People in the world only say that mourning is good for the family, that they come from a famous family, that their mother respects the world, and that the two sons are more successful than the other, but who can only say that the family is suffering."

"The queen mother is the most wealthy person in the world. No woman is better than the queen mother."

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk, let Aijia rest for a while."

Madam Wan didn't speak anymore, she sat on the side and gently massaged the queen mother's temples, seeing the tired look on her face, she couldn't help frowning.

After Shen Chu returned home to rest for a while, when it was Youshi, he was going to Qionglin Garden to attend the Qionglin Banquet. He felt that he was really tired after the announcement of the list, much more tiring than the days before the list came out.But it happened to be so that he didn't have much energy to think about what happened that night, and he buried his head in the sand smoothly, so he didn't have to rack his brains to think of good excuses to prevaricate Li Di.
