Why are you so anxious?

Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet, and hearing such good news, Emperor Yongqian was overjoyed.

In the joy of the Sacred Heart, Emperor Yongqian waved Jun Rouran's position from Jieyu of the fifth rank to Liangyuan of the fourth rank.Xide Jun Rouran rushed over from the side hall regardless of her physical discomfort to receive an order to thank her.No matter what the concubines and concubines and Xi Zhongxungui thought in their hearts, they all congratulated with joy on their faces.Even Tana, who had a slightly gloomy face just now, came over to join her with a smile.

Emperor Yongqian got up and left the table, condescendingly, and personally helped Jun Rouran who was kneeling in the arena up and led him to sit beside him.Jun Rouran was no longer the ignorant Miss Gongfu who just entered the palace, she immediately showed her humble status and could not sit side by side with His Majesty.

Concubine Chen interjected with a smile on her face and said: "Sister Liangyuan hasn't been in the palace for long, but she was lucky enough to give birth to an heir for the royal family. It can be seen that you are blessed by the dragon spirit and you are a very lucky person. In this case, the seat next to your majesty is yours." You can sit too. Even if you can't sit, the dragon descendant in your belly can also sit."

Emperor Yongqian naturally smiled and echoed Concubine Chen's words, and looked at Jun Rouran with even more joy.Therefore, he ignored Jun Rouran's panic and uneasiness, and insisted on pressing her to sit beside him.The queen sitting on the other side of Emperor Yongqian deepened the curvature of her lips calmly, and said with a look of relief: "Sister Liangyuan's days of serving His Majesty are short, but her blessings are great. Now it's hard to conceive. If you are the heir of His Majesty, you must take good care of your body. If you want to eat on weekdays, you can order the imperial dining room to make it for you, and the imperial hospital will also send the best imperial physicians to protect your fetus. You can take care of your fetus with peace of mind. The most important thing is to have more princes for His Majesty."

When Jun Rouran heard the words, she had to get up and leave the table, bowing to thank her.Then she smiled and said: "If the concubine is lucky, it would be the best to give birth to a princess who is as smart as Pingyang."

The queen curled her lips into a smile when she heard the words, hurriedly said "get up quickly", and said a lot of thoughtful and meticulous words with a smile.It's really gentle and soft, but the eyes occasionally glanced at Jun Rouran's flat belly, and the light revealed in those eyes was too sharp.

Emperor Yongqian didn't seem to notice the undercurrent among the many concubines, so he drank three glasses of wine in succession.Now that he is over half a century old, his physical strength and energy are fading day by day, but he did not expect to get such good news today.Looking at the expressions of surprise or admiration of the civil and military ministers of the honored and noble clan, Emperor Yongqian only felt as if a gust of breeze was blowing on his face, and he suddenly felt refreshed.

Jun Rouran carefully sat sideways beside Emperor Yongqian, holding a pot to fill up wine for Emperor Yonggan from time to time.But Emperor Yonggan took over the silver pot with pity and told her to just sit beside her obediently.Jun Rouran lowered her head shyly, a pair of catkins gently caressed her lower abdomen where there was no sign of any sign, watching the concubines who were ridiculed and sarcastic in the past all smiled and flattered her, she couldn't help but smile, quite kind Feeling elated.

Concubine Chen was sitting on the table, playing with the bronze wine bottle with one hand, looking at the bustling scene in front of her as if she was watching a play, and laughed quietly.

A reunion banquet ended perfectly in an atmosphere that seemed to be full of flowers.By the time many honorable ministers left the palace, it was already dark.

On the return carriage, Jun Shaoyou raised the curtain and looked at the starry night outside the window, and unconsciously sighed.

Zhuang Lin paid attention to Jun Shaoyou's actions all the time.Seeing this shape, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"I just feel that after seeing Junrou today, I found that she has changed too much, and she is very different from Jun Rouran in my memory." Jun Shaoyou lowered his head and said: "It can be seen that the harem is really a big dye vat, no matter what Many women went in, and they were all dyed in the same way in the end."

Zhuang Lin was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand to hug Jun Shaoyou into his arms, and persuaded softly: "Don't think about those irrelevant things. I think you have lost your appetite for the past two days. You might as well think about what you want to eat tomorrow morning. Are you willing? Do you want something sour, or something spicy?"

Jun Shaoyou smiled, and said casually: "What can I eat when I get up early in the morning, I don't want to eat anything sour or spicy, just get some light porridge and side dishes."

Zhuang Lin smiled slightly.He said calmly: "I remember that you like the hot spring village outside the city very much. Otherwise, we will go out of the city tomorrow to visit the hot spring village for a while. Now it is the autumn harvest season, and there are many birds and animals on the mountain. I personally hunted the prey for you. You cook soup to drink. Or you would like to see the autumn scenery on the mountain, which is different from Beijing.”

Jun Shaoyou was quite moved, but when he thought about the matter of entering the Imperial College, he was a little hesitant.Even though he had read the scriptures in his previous life and didn't care much about the courses taught by the Imperial College, he was a legitimate student after all, so he asked for leave so often to leave. Before that, it was for the Northwest War, but now it's just for fun. In the ears of others, there will be criticism.

Zhuang Lin waved his hand nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "I'd be worried if I said anything else. But I really don't need to take this matter to heart. I heard that those scholars and literati love outings and reciting poems. Yong'an Palace is also considered a dignitary in Beijing, but it has never held a poetry meeting. Why don't you take this opportunity to invite many students to go to Zhuangzi outside the city for a while in the name of Yong'an Palace. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, many students leave their hometowns and cannot return Home, we bring people together, and we can relieve their homesickness and loneliness.”

Jun Shaoyou thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "That's fine."

Zhuang Lin stretched out his hand to hold Jun Shaoyou's hand and squeezed it, a trace of solemnity flashed across his face quickly.

Early the next morning, the two had breakfast casually.Sure enough, Zhuang Lin urged Jun Shaoyou to post a post to invite friends from Beijing and China, as well as those slightly famous scholars and literati, to attend the poetry meeting at Zhuangzi, a hot spring outside the city.The people who received the post, no matter whether they were sons of aristocratic families or scholars from poor families, mostly aimed at Yong'an Palace and Jun Shaoyou's reputation, and did not say no to them.

Seeing this, Zhuang Lin smiled and said to Jun Shaoyou: "In this case, why don't we go there before them, so we can prepare carefully."

In fact, these are just excuses.After all, there are many talents in Yong'an Palace, and Chen Tuo, the manager, is even better at taking care of family affairs, so how can holding a poetry party exhaust the owner's time and effort.But Jun Shaoyou really yearned for a leisurely life in the mountains, so he agreed knowingly.

The two ordered Chengying to take the servants to pack their luggage, and Zhuang Lin took Jun Shaoyou's hand to imagine the leisure in the next few days.While chattering on and on, someone outside said that the Duke Huguo's mansion handed over a sign saying hello.When Jun Shaoyou heard the words, he had to ask someone to come in and answer.

The ones who came to deliver the posts were Mother Chen who was beside Yang Daimei and the four women from Duke Hu's residence, all dressed very decently.After going up to say hello, Mother Chen took out a greeting card from her sleeve and handed it to Jun Shaoyou, smiling, "Because Mr. Da Lang just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, he must first go to the Ministry of Households to report on his duties. The palace gave a banquet, but I couldn't greet the lord and empress right away. I also ask the lord and empress not to be offended."

Jun Shaoyou brushed his sleeves and dusted off the dust, and said with a smile, "This is out of the ordinary. In theory, when the elder brother returns to Beijing, I, as the younger brother, should pay a visit. It's just that the banquet in the palace is unusual. The family has to go all out to prepare for the banquet, so it will be delayed every time I come and go. Now it’s my wife and elder brother who are too tired to hand over the post, it’s really my fault.”

When Chen's mother heard the words, she couldn't help but bowed to laugh again, and said a lot of good things and flattering words, and finally said with a smile: "The prince and empress are honorable, and they take care of everything in their daily lives. Naturally, the important things of the court should be the most important. What's more, the prince is a young man in the army. , The military exploits are great, and our Da Lang admires him very much. Now that he can visit the prince and his wife in person, Da Lang can't wait to wait at home. If he is not afraid of acting abruptly and disturbing the prince, I am afraid that he will come here today. "

Beside Jun Shaoyou, Zhuang Lin pursed his lips a little amusedly.Because he joined the army at a young age and made countless contributions in the South and North Wars, five or six out of ten young men of Da Chu all follow him as an example, so he has long been accustomed to the flattery and admiration of others.However, these people are different from Jun Shaojie. After all, the latter can be regarded as a young and promising young general, not to mention his brother-in-law in name of Zhuang Lin.Zhuang Lin was a little proud to be admired by such a person.

Jun Shaoyou glanced disapprovingly at Zhuang Lin, who was holding back a smile, and turned around to make an appointment with Chen's mother to arrange a lunch banquet for everyone in the Duke Huguo's mansion tomorrow.Chen's mother bowed to thank her, and said some gossip, and then she bowed to leave after accepting the top award from Jun Shaoyou.

Jun Shaoyou and Zhuang Lin continued to pack their luggage for going out without going into details.

Let's say that the next morning, Yang Daimei brought her concubine's children and Aunt Shen to Yong'an Palace.

Jun Shaoyou led his family, servants and servants to wait for everyone on the steps outside the main hall.As usual, he exchanged warm greetings with Yang Daimei before entering the hall to talk.Jun Shaoyou's attention must be focused on one of the young people who was born in the face.The young man is about 25 or [-] years old, with sharp-edged eyebrows and star eyes, with sharp edges and corners, and his outline is five or six points similar to Yang Daimei's, but his figure is bigger and stronger.With her thin lips tightly closed and her eyes resolute, she knelt down behind the desk. Although she didn't speak a word, her figure was as straight as a pine and cypress, and her every move had the air of a general.

Jun Shaoyou knew that this silent and stubborn man was his elder brother Jun Shaoan whom he had never met.Although he had never dealt with each other before, it was very strange that Jun Shaoyou had a slight liking for this nominal big brother.

Yang Daimei observed the words and expressions, and naturally did not miss the friendly expression that flashed across Jun Shaoyou's face. She was slightly happy, pointed at Jun Shaoan and said, "This is your elder brother Shaoan, who sneaked away like the prince when he was 12 years old." I went to the frontier to enlist in the army, and I haven’t been back for so many years. This time I went back to Beijing to report my duties, and when I learned that my mother married into Yong’an Palace, she pestered me, and I had to see the prince and my wife with my own eyes.”

Jun Shaoan felt a little uncomfortable when he said a word, he clenched his fists on his knees slightly nervously, and looked at Jun Shaoyou with his head sideways.There was no expression on the dark face, but the expectation and reverence revealed in the clear eyes were clearly visible.

Facing such gazes, Jun Shaoyou blurted out involuntarily: "The prince has gone to court, and he will probably be back at noon."

Jun Shaoan's eyes immediately glowed with a faint green light, and his black pupils looked directly at Jun Shaoyou. After a while, his dilated pupils shrank slightly, and there was still no expression during the whole process, only a slight upward movement of his lips was barely noticeable The arc of his face reveals his good mood.

Seeing this, Yang Daimei even flattered her: "The person your eldest brother admires the most in his life is the prince. Otherwise, he would not have followed the prince's example and joined the army at a young age. It's just that he is dull by nature and can't speak. We met when we were young. Prince, please ask your wife to speak more kind words for him."

After a pause, he pretended to be casual and said: "At the banquet given by the imperial palace, I had the honor to say a few words with the empress Liangyuan. The empress means that she wants to take this opportunity to transfer your elder brother to Beijing to serve in the Ministry of War. In this way, your brother doesn't have to work too hard in the frontier fortress, and your father and I can see our sons and daughters enjoying each other, which is the best of both worlds. However, even though I am a woman and child, I also understand that the situation in the court is changing. I am afraid it is better than the battlefield Killing the enemy is even more unpredictable. Your brother has a pure personality and is not good at dealing with others. I am afraid that he will have some troubles when he joins the military department. If the prince can take care of him for a while, I will feel relieved."

Hearing this, Jun Shaoyou hadn't spoken yet, but Jun Shaoan frowned in surprise.Although he has a straightforward and silent personality and is not good at intrigue, he is not a dull person who can climb from a pawn a while ago to his current position.It is natural to guess the calculation behind this transfer.

He can clearly see the means and schemes used by the younger sister to pull him into the water in order to consolidate her status.Although he doesn't like the complicated personnel and unpredictable people in Beijing, he doesn't blame his little sister.After all, as soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and he also got a glimpse of the little sister's difficult situation at the palace banquet the night before.

Although he didn't think that the transfer of a small fourth-rank official like himself to Beijing would have any effect on the situation in the harem, but if the younger sister felt that doing so would give her peace of mind, Jun Shaoan didn't care.He felt that as the eldest son of Duke Huguo's mansion and the eldest brother of his siblings, he had the obligation to set up a family and shelter his family from wind and rain.This is something he willingly wants to do.But that's all.Jun Shaoan would not be happy if he caused trouble to others because of his own affairs.

In fact, if it was normal, Jun Shaoan could only wish for him to establish a relationship with Zhuang Lin, a man who has made great military achievements and is a model for all soldiers.However, news that my younger sister was pregnant just came out yesterday, and Zhuang Lin is the eldest prince who has always been known as the invisible prince.The water in the capital is turbid, and even though Jun Shaoan is very insensitive to the struggle to seize the heir apparent, he is still vaguely aware of something wrong with it.He felt in a daze that the more at this time, the more low-key and honest the Duke Protector's Mansion should be.Although there should be an action of hugging the thigh, it is not necessary to make a fuss, and everyone knows it.Jun Shaoan, who has been leading troops to fight all the year round and is best at guerrilla sniping the enemy, is keenly aware that sometimes, entering the village quietly and not shooting is the best way of action.Anyway, it is an established fact that the Duke Huguo's Mansion and Yong'an Palace are blood relatives. Even if Zhuang Lin never showed it publicly, who would ignore this relationship.

Therefore, Jun Shao'an felt that there was no need for the two families to make all kinds of collusion and alliance under the eyes of Emperor Yongqian, which would arouse suspicion instead.

Jun Shaoan expressed his attitude straight to the point, unlike the usual gossip among dignitaries and officials in Beijing.He disapproved of being blessed by Zhuang Lin when he was serving in the Ministry of War.Firstly, he felt that there was no need to trouble Zhuang Lin, and secondly, because of his small self-esteem as a man.Although compared with Zhuang Lin, Jun Shaoan is not as good as Zhuang Lin in terms of family status and military exploits, but he can also be regarded as an outstanding figure in the circle of nobles in Beijing.He has his pride, he feels that since he can win a place in the army by virtue of his strength.Now that he has transferred to Beijing to work, even though the beginning is difficult, he will not be at a loss and rely on others everywhere.

Of course, the most important point is that Jun Shaoan doesn't want to lose face in front of the person he admires.He has worshiped Zhuang Lin for nearly ten years, and now he is fortunate to marry his idol. Although the relationship is inexplicably close, Jun Shaoan is more vigilant in his heart.I always feel that I should perform better, so that even if Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou have conflicts in the future, his brother-in-law will never be short-handed because of Zhuang Lin's benefits, and he will not dare to stand up for him. Backed up by his younger brother.

Of course, Jun Shaoan thought about the latter point, but he was too embarrassed to say it.But fortunately, he has always been a man of few words, so he kept silent after saying a few words, and everyone just thought he was not talkative, and he didn't see through the gossip and sullenness under this expressionless skin. Worry about your mind.In the final analysis, Jun Shaoan was not a talkative person. Years of service in the army made him used to doing things with his head down instead of talking with his head up.

Jun Shaoan's self-esteem and arrogance, and his willingness to consider others from the standpoint of others, further won Jun Shaoyou's favor.Although the previous life and the present life have never met, Jun Shaoyou felt that Jun Shaoan was really a good person, as if he had closed his eyes, and he was someone he could make friends with and even plan things together.

However, Jun Shaoyou has always been quite deep in the city, even though his heart is quite moved, his face is still tight.Only Wen Yan told some anecdotes about the romance and even the frontier fortress.Jun Shaoan listened silently, his eyes looked towards the direction of the door from time to time, his expression was serious and dignified, and occasionally there was a flash of anticipation.

Seeing this, Jun Shaoyou felt amused again.On the contrary, Yang Daimei sighed and wished to speak flattering words instead of the eldest son.It should be known that vanity on face is not as important as benefit on face.Even though Jun Shao'an is young and doesn't like to make money, but Yang Daimei boasts that she has been through ups and downs for a long time, and she has long since lost the so-called arrogance of backbone.She would rather bow her head and bow her ears, as long as Jun Shao'an who can manage it is safe and sound.

For Yang Daimei's obvious thoughts, Jun Shaoan saw it in his eyes. Although he did not agree with his mother's actions, Jun Shaoan understood that his mother was also thinking of himself.Therefore, even though Jun Shaoan was embarrassed, he tried his best to chat with Jun Shaoyou following Yang Daimei's wishes.

While everyone was chatting, they suddenly heard a maid from outside come to announce that the prince had returned to the mansion.Hearing the news, others could do it, but Jun Shaoan's eyes lit up, he straightened his back unconsciously, and stared out of the hall with his ears closed.
