Rebirth of the Faint Lord

In the fifth year of Renqing, on the ninth day of August, Mrs. Shen died of illness.

Shen Nian single-handedly handled Mrs. Shen's funeral. To him, Mrs. Shen was a stranger with blood.

But after she died of illness, Shen Nianfeng buried her gracefully.Shen Qing and Wen's naturally did not show up, and everyone had their own opinions and conjectures on this matter.

Shen Nian didn't care about it at all.

The whole Daqi knew that Shen Nian was the emperor's most trusted person, who held a lot of power and was the most able to speak in front of the emperor, even Prince Jin had to avoid him on weekdays.

There is a reason for saying this, more than one minister has seen the respectful expression on Prince Jin's face when he met Shen Nian.Everyone naturally had thoughts on this, but no one had any information from Prince Jin.

The handing down of this name made Shen Nian even more unfathomable. After all, the emperor abolished all his relatives, but left Shen Nian behind. This shows Shen Nian's skill in manipulating power.

Therefore, there are countless people who want to curry favor with Shen Nian, but Shen Nian has a rather strange temper. He is either in front of the emperor or in the palace on ordinary days, and when he goes back to the Marquis' mansion, he just stays for a few breaths and then leaves.

Someone once ridiculed that compared to Zhenbei Hou's Mansion, the Imperial Palace is more like Shen Nian's home.

After this word got out, the next day the emperor on the court opened his mouth and said: "Shen Qing is all about my safety, if he can really manage the imperial palace, I will be happy."

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he blocked the mouths of those who wanted to make a fuss about it.

Everyone couldn't find a way to curry favor with Shen Nian, so the funeral of Mrs. Shen was an excellent opportunity.

On the day Mrs. Shen attended the funeral, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was very lively.

Shen Nian is not a person who likes to deal with people, but that day he still stood at the door to greet guests.

In the court hall, except for the officials who were particularly lofty and proud, all the other officials, big and small, basically came.Everyone was not familiar with Shen Nian, and when they met, they just said some polite words to express their condolences.

Shen Nian replied politely, with no expression on his face.

It is well known that Shen Nian is favored, but only today did everyone know how far Shen Nian was favored.

The servants of the Zhenbeihou Mansion were all transferred from the palace by the emperor, because the Zhenbeihou Mansion did not hold any large-scale banquets, nor did it have any hostess.The emperor did this to tell everyone that he was supporting Shen Nian, and those who wanted to see a joke had to weigh it carefully.

All civil and military officials understood the meaning of the emperor, and they were a little numb.

Not long after that, both the emperor and Prince Jin came to the Zhenbeihou mansion in person, and they planned to stay at the Shen family for dinner. The glory of the Shen family reached its peak at this moment.

If everyone looked at Shen Nian with envy, they all knew in their hearts that the emperor never looked at Mrs. Shen, but Shen Nian.

When Shen Nian saw Qi Junmu, his eyes lit up, and there was joy in it.He is the only master of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, so he naturally wants to entertain the emperor himself.The monarch and his ministers are very harmonious and warm, and everyone else is used to it.

Qi Junzhuo, who knew the inside story, was still in a complicated mood when he saw the tiredness of the two.

So far, he still can't accept Shen Nian being with the emperor.But he was already able to look at this matter very calmly, and he still gave Shen Nian the respect he deserved, just like what the emperor said, it doesn't matter if others don't agree, if he disagrees, the emperor will feel a little sad in his heart.

Just because of this sentence, even if Qi Junzhuo had a lot of reluctance in his heart, he would not show it.

When the emperor was present, everyone was reserved.

The ones who were not too restrained were the emperor, Prince Jin and Shen Nian.

Qi Junmu looked at everyone's cautious expressions, and the corners of his eyes were bent. When everyone was about to eat, the emperor opened his golden mouth and said: "It's getting late, and Zhenbeihou is not feeling well, you all go back."

Many officials felt aggrieved when they heard this. Generally, the emperor should be the first to leave in such a situation. But now, the emperor did not leave by himself, and even drove people away.

Although everyone felt a little awkward, but the emperor opened his mouth, they had no choice but to get up and leave.

Shen Nian stood in front of the door and sent out the officials one by one, the etiquette was quite thoughtful.

After the people left, he went back to his yard.

Of course, the emperor was not in the front hall. The emperor was sitting on the promenade in his yard, with Prince Jin standing beside him.

Qi Junzhuo was planning to leave with everyone, but he was worried that the emperor would be alone in the backyard, so he waited for Shen Nian to come back before leaving.

After Qi Junzhuo left, the emperor waved to Shen Nian.

There were no palace people around, Shen Nian naturally walked to the emperor and sat down.

Qi Junmu grabbed his hand and said softly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and today you don't look very well, is there something on your mind?" He didn't ask if Shen Nian was sad, Shen Nian was close to the Shen family. He knows best.

The emperor thought he knew exactly who the person next to the pillow was pretending to be.

Shen Nian held the emperor's hand tightly, he said: "I am not close to my grandmother, when she left, she said that the courtyard is empty, and living in it makes people uncomfortable."

Shen Nian could see that Mrs. Shen regretted it at that time, she lived a life of prosperity and wealth all her life.In the end, besides Shen Nian, who was not very close to his grandson, there was no one around.

There is no husband, no son, but the prosperity of the whole room is very cold and ruthless.

Qi Junmu fell silent when he heard this, and said, "It's just a personal choice, what does it have to do with you?"

These words sounded a little cold, but Shen Nian didn't find it harsh at all.

Perhaps there is a saying that is right, people in this world are all selfish.The reason why relatives are relatives is that they are close first.

There was silence in the corridor for a while, and the emperor's voice sounded lazily. He said, "I won't let you stay in mourning for three years this time. I can't leave you, and I don't want you to leave."

Very selfish thoughts and actions, but the emperor is happy, no one can refute, and no one can refute, this is the benefit of being an emperor.

Shen Nian hummed lightly, only to hear the emperor say again: "After a while, I will go with you to pay homage to Emperor Father and General Shen."

Shen Nian was taken aback for a moment, he looked up at the expressionless emperor in surprise.

Qi Junmu laughed when he saw him in a daze, and he held a lock of Shen Nian's hair with his hand and said, "I am with you, and we must walk a bright road in front of the fathers of both parties."

For some reason, when Shen Nian heard this, his eye circles were a little hot, he slightly staggered his eyes and said: "What if the late emperor is not happy?"

"That can't be helped. Facts are facts, and he can't object below." Qi Junmu said calmly.

Shen Nian rolled his eyes and smiled: "What the emperor said is true."

Qi Junmu stayed with Shen Nian for a long time that day, and he didn't return to the palace from Zhenbeihou's Mansion until it was too late.

Five days later, he announced Shen Nian into the palace, on the one hand, he took this opportunity to tell everyone that Shen Nian would not be filial, and on the other hand, he wanted to bring him to worship Emperor Jing.

In Qi Junmu's eyes, this worship was just an ordinary worship, and the excuse used by the emperor was that the former emperor entrusted him with a dream to see him.

The emperor was very leisurely, but Shen Nian was very solemn, and he was very serious when worshiping.

Qi Junmu looked at him, then smiled, and then became serious.

After paying homage to Emperor Jing, Qi Junmu and Shen Nian shook off the crowd, and took Ruan Jiqing and a few cronies to worship Shen Yi.

Shen Nian looked at Shen Yi's tombstone, feeling extraordinarily peaceful.

He thought to himself that he and Qi Junmu were going to be together forever.Compared with the previous generation, they are really much luckier.

He is not very clear about the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, and he doesn't want to be too clear.

Everyone is gone, so there is no need to be guessed by future generations.

A gust of breeze blew, Qi Junmu looked at the solemn Shen Nian and suddenly said: "When we grow old, I will walk behind you and bury you in my imperial tomb first."

Shen Nian raised his eyes, he said: "The emperor will be sad then."

"Life and death are the same, what is there to be sad about?" Qi Junmu looked at the distant sky, his eyes were as clear and dust-free as the blue sky: "If I walk in front of you, in case something happens in the middle, you If I can't be buried together, then I will be sad and uneasy."

"I don't want to see the emperor sad either." Shen Nian said with a smile: "There is Prince Jin, he will listen to whatever the emperor says."

They were talking about life and death after many years, but the two were extremely calm, and the atmosphere could even be said to be warm.

Qi Junmu held Shen Nian's hand, and the two intertwined their fingers. In the breeze, the emperor's voice came lazily: "It's fine for you and me to be together, nothing else matters."

"What the emperor said is true." Shen Nian replied with a smile.
