Shen Xian rushed to see his father at this time, but he hesitated a bit in his words.He is young and doesn't know how to beat around the bush after all, but he originally asked Shen Huineng to allow Qin Ruozhen to go to Xiyuan with Shengjia during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Rong He listened in the inner hall, the little man's voice was immature, quite milky, and his words reminded people of his big eyes that were bright and flickering.

"Father, the son wants the queen mother to go and relax together..." Shen Xian twisted his body, and remembered what the teacher once said, he is the heir of the dynasty, he should have a correct appearance, stand up straight while he is busy, and bow solemnly Going down, "Please allow the emperor to let the mother move to Xiyuan together."

Shen Hui's heart was softening at the moment, and seeing his small appearance made him feel more affectionate, so he waved to him and said with a smile, "Come and sit." Seeing that Shen Xian was hesitating, he softened his tone even more, "Come on, come here." Come to the emperor's side, we father and son have a good talk."

Shen Hui always had a cold face most of the time, but when he smiled at first, it seemed like the wind was blowing.Shen Xian pursed his lips and smiled, walked over obediently, and sat quietly with his hands on his knees.

Shen Hui touched his little hand, and saw that there were a few small pits on it, which shows that the child has been raised well, and it does not look like a premature baby when he grows up to this day.

"Did your mother teach you to say this?" He still asked persuasively, intending to know the truth.

Shen Xian shook his head, lowered his eyes, his voice seemed to be choked up, "No, my son hasn't seen his mother for a long time."

This is strange, Shen Hui never prevented Shen Xian from seeing Qin Ruozhen, if not, he wouldn't have to keep this woman, "Why? Brother Xian is too busy with homework?"

Shen Xian twisted his hands, and said vaguely, "My son sleeps every morning and evening, but the mother always pushes that she is unwell, and tells my son not to disturb her, and let her rest." After a pause, he continued, " That's why the son wants the father and the emperor to allow the mother to go to Xiyuan, just to relax, and maybe the body will get better."

Shen Hui listened, and smiled coldly, but it disappeared in a flash, and Shen Xian was not taught to notice it.It seems that Qin Ruozhen has no patience with her own son. This is the crux of her lack of intelligence and arrogance. Originally, if she can hold Shen Xian, maybe there will be a day when she will turn around in the future. Now it's alright, even the only chance to turn around She didn't even want it, she must have given up on it to the extreme.

It's just that Xiao Erlang is pitiful, and he is still worrying about people who don't care about him. Shen Hui said softly, "Then brother Xian really wants to see your mother, doesn't he?"

Shen Xian felt embarrassed, bit his lip, nodded after a long while and said yes, "Son dare not lie to father, but success or failure depends entirely on father's decision, son dare not speak."

He looked like a little adult again, and Shen Hui himself had suffered from his parents not caring, so he could empathize with him, and stroked his head to comfort him, "I promise you, and I will order someone to pass the decree when I turn around, and when I arrive in Xiyuan If your mother is not in a good mood, you don't have to bother her, just let her rest in peace, understand?"

Shen Xian nodded solemnly, stood up and bowed to thank him, Shen Hui asked him a few homework questions with a smile, and seeing that he answered fluently, he asked him to leave.

Shen Hui looked at the small back and got out of the meeting, and when he heard a little rustling in the inner hall, he turned in again with a smile.

Rong Yu had already put on his clothes, and was looking down at the neckline with a melancholy expression. It turned out that the button was torn off by Shen Hui vigorously, so he had no choice but to mess up his appearance at the moment.He didn't mind it in his heart, and he simply didn't mention it when he saw Shen Hui coming in.

Shen Hui understood what he was thinking, and there was no need to embarrass him. He looked at the bottom of the bowl just now, and said with a smile, "Did I really use it all up, or did I pour it out secretly while I was away?"

Rong Yu shook his head and smiled, "Am I that cunning?" Looking at the table full of dishes, he turned around and said, "Ask someone to reheat them, and I will serve you dinner later."

Shen Hui waved his hand and said no, and sat on the side of the couch without making a sound for a long time.

"I just heard what your Highness begged you for." Rong Yu frowned slightly, "I don't understand why the queen refuses to meet him, he is the person the queen should catch the most, both public and private."

Shen Hui curled his lips and smiled, "You think so too. It can be seen that she is really discouraged and wants to give up. She did this to force me to agree to the conditions I proposed earlier. Think about it, if it succeeds, the troublesome one in the future Who is the person."

The middle palace leaves the inner court, and sooner or later it will ask for abdication. How can there be a mother who always wants to practice outside.Once the post is vacated, the ministers will definitely go up and make another queen, and the prince will inevitably hold grudges in the future, so it is very likely that he will have a quarrel with Shen Hui.On the contrary, occupying the back seat, which is in vain, can save Shen Hui a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"What she wants to do now is to occupy that seat honestly, and I will not agree to those extra requests. Whatever she wants me to satisfy, I will definitely not satisfy."

Rong Yu nodded, but saw him leaning over, looking at him carefully, "Would you feel uncomfortable if I treated him like this?"

It would be not sincere to say that there is nothing at all, but Shen Hui and Qin Ruozhen have no feelings. They used to be difficult to express, but now they are close to breaking up. He is a person who looks forward. Now that he has made a choice, he will not worry about these things.

She lowered her head and smiled, and answered irrelevantly, "I want to tell you one thing, which is to explain to you that my previous behavior in and out of Fireworks and Willow Lane is not worthy of your taste - because I have never liked a woman. "

Shen Hui was stunned for a while, but after a while, the corners of his brows and eyes were full of smiles, and he said word by word, "That's still not as good as me, the only thing I've ever liked is you."

Now it was Rong Yu's turn to be dazed, it had nothing to do with gender, it was just him, this was the second time he had heard this.His heart was beating loudly, and he turned his eyes hastily, handing over a cup of still warm japonica rice porridge, and said calmly, "Hurry up and use it up, I have something serious to tell you after eating."

Shen Hui was kind, and after using up half a bowl in a hurry, his curiosity arose, "I'm anxious to know what's going on."

Rong Yu thought for a while and said, "This time I went to Datong to recover 15 yuan, but elsewhere, redundant staff and redundant expenses are still the norm. Then have you ever thought that some places don't need to support so many people at all, but there are still many in Haiphong. The gap. Japanese pirates and pirates continue to run rampant, and the people along the coast are also Dayin people. Their interests should be protected from being invaded by people from the sea. If there is a guarantee in the future, more seas can be opened, and the border trade will also be smooth .”

Shen Hui listened with great interest, "That's reasonable, except for the East China Sea coastal area, the imperial court really spends less energy on navy."

Rong Yu continued, "One more thing, this time I saw a smooth-bore cannon in Datong Mansion. It is said that it was traded with the Raksha people. The cannon is much more powerful than the one we made. Advanced weapons. That being the case, it is better to buy them first, but it is not enough to just buy them. You need to know the principles of technology in order to improve them. There is no shortage of such talents in the country, but they have not paid much attention to them in the past. The first step now, You might as well purchase equipment first, then expand the navy, and then conduct business and trade, so as to open your horizons."

He had seen the cannon in red, and he had also seen the homemade large-caliber gun. At that time, thinking of modern history, he felt that he could try to do something.Although a person's ability is limited, in this parallel time and space, maybe a slight change can make the future develop in a better direction.He has no interest in becoming famous or going down in history, he only wants to be with the emperor, so naturally he can no longer stay out of it.

Shen Hui obviously listened to it, and nodded for a while and said, "Your idea is good. A few days ago, I planned to transfer the admiral of the Fujian Navy to Beijing to report on my duties. But money is a matter. The imperial court spends a lot of money on arms, and those who are interested will have to pay for it." It’s a big hat for militarism.” As he spoke, he patted his hand and smiled with relief, “I thought about what they said in advance, and I guessed that there would be a way to deal with it, but I just want to let you know. , I will take it to heart, you only look at the result, don't worry about the middle process."

After finishing speaking, she looked at him with a wide smile, and added leisurely, "I won't let you have any more excuses to go out of the palace."

It was their intention to tie him up completely, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and Shen Hui went to slowly use up the leftover rice porridge.

In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival came, and Shen Hui held a banquet in Xiyuan.Because the banquet was held during the day, in addition to the routine singing, dancing, opera and music, activities such as willow shooting were also arranged for entertainment.

The so-called shooting willows, also known as cutting willows, originally belonged to Hu Feng. In the past, Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties all had this custom.Shooting willows at that time was stricter than it is now.First of all, the willow branch must be shot off, and it must be shot in the white part of the willow branch where the skin has been scraped off. This is a requirement for shooting skills; requirements.

Dayin belongs to the Han people, and has always favored civility over martial arts, so the rules of shooting willows have also been greatly changed.It is just that the people in the palace store the pigeons in the gourds and hang them on the willows. The contestants bend their bows and shoot the willows. The arrows hit the gourds, and the pigeons fly out.

Therefore, in the case where both sides hit the gourd, whoever wins depends entirely on the pigeon.Flying far and near, high and low is too accidental, so the entertainment meaning of shooting willows is more important than the previous competition meaning.

Earlier, Shen Hui ordered people to build a viewing platform in Xiyuan, next to Sheyuan, and there is a galloping road in the middle of the road, just for the entertainment of watching Sheliu.

On the occasion of the grand banquet in the palace, Qin Ruozhen, as the master of the inner court, naturally needs to be present.At this time, there were only two seats for the emperor and empress on the high platform.Shen Hui had ascended to his seat, Rong Yu turned his head to look at Qin Ruozhen, and couldn't hide his surprise after a glance.It's only been a few months since I saw her, but she seemed to be a different person, and the radiant look on her face had been replaced by sadness at this moment.Her face was puffy and swollen, her brows were clear and her arrogance was gone, and she was no longer described as the proud and dignified queen she used to be.

Shen Hui seemed unaware of her abnormality, chatted and laughed casually with her as if nothing had happened, and ordered the banquet to begin.

It just happened that this day caught up with the clear sky and bright weather, and the wind and dust were not blowing, so it was a good weather for shooting willows.In the middle of the banquet, there were disciples of honored relatives and princes and ministers competing to test this skill, everyone took it as entertainment, they didn't care much about the result, and often laughed it off.Everyone watched happily, and the atmosphere on the field was relaxed.

At that time, many disciples finished their practice, and some people praised His Royal Highness for his talent, but he only learned riding and archery for more than a month.

Shen Hui was noncommittal, leaning on the seat, casually picked up a cup and took a sip, and as the praises from the audience increased, Qin Ruozhen smiled slowly, "The prince is young, and it's just a new learning. You are all literary and military strategists, don't kill him with your children. Speaking of archery, there is a horse supervisor in this palace who has trained him, and he has a unique skill. It's better to let him go, and let everyone watch the excitement. .”

Without waiting for everyone in the audience to speak, she suddenly stretched out her arms and pointed at Rong Yu, "It's just that one person shoots willows, after all, it doesn't mean much. I don't know if the factory minister has any interest in accepting the invitation?"

The author has something to say: In fact, shooting willows is a game of the Dragon Boat Festival, is it empty, the shameless author just came here casually
