Respect the little husband [farming]

In the room, Shen Wenxuan raised his hand to help Ajiao straighten his clothes, smoothing the wrinkles of his blue and gold palace dress, and put on the silver silk mask on his face.

"Although the girdle, jade pendant, and headgear are not as exquisite as the ones I prepared, they still work together." Shen Wenxuan said pickily, and took his hand for a closer look.

It was too safe to wear, Shen Wenxuan was dissatisfied, and raised his hand to pick a leaf-shaped golden hairpin from the dressing table to replace the jade ornament on his head.

These palace costumes are all in sets. From head to toe, what to wear and what to use are very particular, how can they be changed at will?

The little eunuch who was waiting by the side raised his hand to stop him, but thinking of the miserable state of Jinde who had come to invite someone earlier, he pursed his lips and swallowed what he wanted to say, so as not to embarrass this person.

"Do you know what's inside the hairpin?" Shen Wenxuan approached Ajiao and asked softly, and put his hands behind his ears along the sideburns of his ears. Although he had already explained it, he still felt uneasy.

Jiao Shihan nodded and said: "Instead of worrying about me, you might as well be more careful, lest you break my heart."

Shen Wenxuan smiled, hugged him and patted his back: "Don't worry, when did something happen to me?"

But how can you not get your shoes wet when you often walk by the river?Jiao Shihan hesitated to speak, but thought that what he said was too inauspicious, so he restrained himself from opening.

The little eunuch reminded: "Young Master Ning, the time is almost up."

Jiao Shihan nodded, grabbed Shen Wenxuan's clothes worryingly and reluctantly, not caring about being embarrassed in front of so many people, tiptoed to kiss the corner of his mouth, and said, "Take care, Ah Xuan."

Shen Wenxuan smiled easily, and pinched the tip of his ear: "I know my little Jiaojiao, but there is one thing you have to remember, in case, I mean in case, don't be brave when something happens, I'll come if you call me."

Jiao Shihan smiled and nodded: "I know."

There is a small flare in the sachet at his waist, made by Ah Xuan, as long as the lead wire is pulled, a red smoke ball can be shot, and Ah Xuan can see it no matter how far away it is.

Holding his hand to send him out, Shen Wenxuan stood in the courtyard and watched him go out of the small gate and get into the carriage. The person who came to pick him up was from the palace. It was probably to avoid going the same way as last time, so I didn't Dare to entrust others to do it again, but they came very carefully, even the carriages are the standard of the Ning family, and they probably handed the invitation card of the Ning family when they entered the palace gate.

The little eunuch waved his hand to signal the people behind him to bring the tray over, bowed and said, "My lord, these are the ten invitations that the empress dowager promised to give you, but the empress asked me to tell you that you can enter the palace, but your appearance may also be different." Cover up, there are still many things in the capital that you don't know, so as not to cause trouble and not know."

"If my face is covered, wouldn't it be a waste of money?" Shen Wenxuan laughed.

The little eunuch's expression changed, and he motioned for the tray to be taken down. Shen Wenxuan grabbed it, picked up the invitation card on it and flipped it casually: "What can I do with this face? Even the queen mother has to remind her, maybe she suppressed it?" Not going down?"

"My lord, you don't need to know. The empress only said that if you don't cover it up, it will only be good for her, not bad."

Shen Wenxuan raised his eyebrows: "It's okay to cover up. If something really gets into trouble, you can still tear off the disguise and start a new life, right? Just trouble your father-in-law to remind the Queen Mother that after the New Year's banquet, you must return my family Ajiao to Zhao completely. Don't play tricks with me. I’m so confused that I’m even afraid of myself.”

The little eunuch didn't speak, and bowed back with the people behind him, stood on the side of the carriage and trotted away as the carriage set off.

Shen Wenxuan watched the carriage leave, and asked Wang Muze behind him, "Are you all ready?"

Wang Muze: "My lord, everything is ready."

"Then let's go, the good show at the New Year's banquet is still waiting." Shen Wenxuan smiled, and handed him the nine invitations in his hand, and he distributed them to the nine people who were going to bring them.

Their attires are all different. Although they are guards at home, this time they are not following him as his guards, but as guests who are also going to the New Year's banquet.

Tonight is New Year's Eve. As usual, the Ministry of Rites prepares a New Year's Eve banquet for the emperor to invite family members, nobles, officials, imperial merchants, etc., but this year's New Year's Eve is a little different from previous years. The two generals, Ning Jian and Chi Ji, came back to clean up the dust. The second was to celebrate the victory in the Southwest. Ning Guogong was very aggressive and never lost since the official start of the war.

The letter that Shen Wenxuan asked De Liu to bring back a month ago was about a deal for the annual banquet. The queen mother wanted to see A Jiao, but she couldn't order it secretly. He didn't have much respect for the royal family, and he couldn't be forced. The power in the court is weak, but his Shen family's business houses are spread all over the south of the Yangtze River and the capital, and they still come into contact with famous people. Even if the queen mother has great abilities, she can't quietly kill the Shen family.

Then there is only one left, the deal, the deal he made, he can let Ajiao go to the New Year's banquet, provided that he exchanges the invitation for the New Year's banquet.

After getting off the carriage outside the palace gate, Shen Wenxuan slightly changed his appearance and put on a beard to look like a gentle and elegant scholar. The other nine people also arrived sooner or later, pretending not to know each other, and mixed into the team at the palace gate After the guards at the gate saw the invitation and searched it, they entered the palace gate.

Shen Wenxuan was not in a hurry, he waited outside for a while, and the nine-door admiral Wang Yanwang, who was coming to inspect, walked over generously, passed the people in line and pretended not to know that they were about to enter the palace gate, and bumped his arm with Commander Wang for a moment.

"Hey," Wang Yan stopped him, looked him up and down, "Who are you? Don't you know you have to wait in line?"

"What?" Shen Wenxuan glanced back at the team behind him, and smiled embarrassedly, "Disrespect, disrespect, I don't understand the rules for the first time, oh, I am the emperor merchant, my surname is Shen."

Wang Yan had some doubts in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to ask for his invitation card and looked it over carefully. If there was no problem, he looked at him a few more times before returning it to him: "Go to the back and line up. If you dare to mess around, don't blame Wang for being rude."

Shen Wenxuan smiled, turned around obediently and went to the end of the line, but he just shook the sachet that Wang Yan just got from him in a place where Wang Yan couldn't see, and then hid it in his sleeve pocket.

Entering the gate of the palace, the furnishings in the palace are really different. It is indeed the place where the emperor lives. The red walls and yellow tiles are laid out on the central axis, surrounded by tall and gorgeous palaces.

There is one guard at every ten steps, and one patrol at every hundred steps. The patrols should be at least several times tighter than usual. It seems that the emperor is also wary of Chi Ji. No matter whether he is involved in the southwest, this person will be eliminated.

Shen Wenxuan followed all the people entering the palace to the place where the palace banquet was held, and caught a glimpse of Zhao Er and Yan Qi who were walking towards each other, each with a line of guards patrolling behind them.

Zhao Erhe and Yan Qi are not bad in aptitude, and they have meritorious service. The guard Ge Zhengzhuo came here and the emperor trusted their loyalty, so they were promoted in less than two months and became imperial guards. It can't be compared with the admiral of the nine gates, but he can accompany the emperor's side to guard.

Shen Wenxuan's gaze met them, Zhao Erhe and Yan Qi nodded slightly, and the three of them lost their sight in the next breath, and passed each other like strangers.

The New Year Banquet is held in the main hall of the court as usual, with a red carpet and a golden crown, which is very luxurious. There are several tables for seats in the front and back, and the pavilions above dozens of steps are places for people of high status or power to sit.

There are countless court ladies and eunuchs rushing to prepare meals and serve them. Outside the palace, there are heavy gates and strict barriers. It looks like two worlds, one is rich and luxurious, and the other hides murderous intentions.

When Shen Wenxuan arrived, there were already seven or eight people sitting in the main hall, his seat was at the back, surrounded by insignificant officials and imperial merchants.

"This colored glaze is really good enough. I heard that many things in this New Year's banquet were provided by the Shen family business."

That's natural, Shen Wenxuan pinched the glass teacup in his hand and thought, although the queen mother gave the green light, but every seat that can participate in the palace banquet was closely watched, he didn't mean it.

"It's not just Liuli. I think the most profitable ones are the few banks just opened by the Shen family. Every time I go, they are overcrowded."

If the prizes are too high, those few banks are generally rich.

"However, he seems to be buying houses recently. The street of Hexi is almost sold out by him. I just don't know what he bought it for."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard. Shen Wenxuan glanced at him, but this man was keeping a close eye on the movements of the Shen family.

Before he could study it carefully, there was a movement at the door——

"rise!"

"The Emperor is here!"

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

"The Empress is here!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live! The queen mother is a thousand years old! The queen is a thousand years old."

Everyone stood up and bowed their heads respectfully, Shen Wenxuan did as he did, but quietly raised his eyes to look at his family, Ajiao, who was being led by the queen mother step by step through the red carpet, half a step behind the queen mother, the blue palace dress on his body was slightly dragged to the ground, Since entering the door, he secretly glanced at both sides.

He remembered that Ah Xuan's clothes were black, embroidered with golden Kui patterns, and when he found it, he subconsciously smiled, and the cold skin couldn't help but ooze a little sweetness.

There were quite a few people who bowed their heads and peeked at it. Seeing this, they took a deep breath and were amazed for thousands of years.

The Empress Dowager had been paying attention to him all the time, and now she followed his gaze. Although she couldn't see Shen Wenxuan's face, she only looked at Shen Wenxuan's figure, which was not bad. There was that rebellious letter, and he rushed up again in a rage, tightening Qing'er's hand and speeding up his steps to pass him.

This old woman is quite vengeful, Shen Wenxuan thought, just judging by her appearance, she has the demeanor of a strong woman, dignified and unsmiling, she looks at people with a pair of red phoenix eyes, and easily regards people as ants, yes, it was also this dynasty 20 years ago The master of the hall.

He only kept his eyes on Ajiao, the emperor didn't pay attention to it, when he remembered that the person had already passed by, but Shen Wenxuan didn't care, what he wanted to watch most now was Chi Ji's play.

Sitting down on the dragon chair, Emperor Chongxin coughed lightly a few times, and said, "Everyone is at peace, let's have a banquet."

"Banquet!" The eunuchs shouted one after another.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The queen mother sat on the phoenix chair on the left, pulled Jiao Shihan to sit beside her, and kept holding her hand, unwilling to let go, but it was a pity that the servant had to choose this inappropriate spot to let her see him. It is impossible to see the true face of this child.

Empress He and many harem concubines sat on the opposite table, and under a few steps were Ning Jian and Chi Ji who had returned this time.

One is his own eldest brother, the other is his biological father whom he has never met, and the other is the most honorable empress dowager. Jiao Shihan looked over one by one, and fixed his gaze on the familiar elder brother.

His face turned dark, he grew a little taller, and his hands also had a lot of calluses, Jiao Shihan thought, drinking a sip of tea to suppress the chaotic mood in his heart.

"Chi Ji, let me ask you, what do you think of Ning Jian as a junior?" Emperor Chongxin laughed.

Chi Ji glanced at Ning Jian who was facing him, cupped his hands and said, "Return to the emperor, this son is the son of Ning Guogong, he has the demeanor of Ning Guogong, but his qualifications are still relatively low, and he needs more training in the future."

Ning Jian didn't respond and ate food quietly.

"Speaking of Duke Ning," Emperor Chongxin's eyes darkened, "Does General Zhennan know anything about Southwest?"

He recited the word "Zhennan" emphatically, and Chi Ji stood up quickly, walked to the seat and knelt down: "This is the fault of the general, and the training of the army was not strengthened before, causing them to go to the battlefield like weak chickens , even a small frontier country like the Qiang can't resist, please forgive me, the emperor."

These words are really easy to avoid, and they are very light. If it is just a question of the quality of soldiers, it is okay to say, but Southwest is far from that simple. Emperor Chongxin smiled, but there was not much joy in his eyes, and said: "Tonight is New Year's Eve, If I punish you now, wouldn't it be a waste of today's celebration? Get up."

Now if he is really punished, wouldn't he admit his words? Father is not so stupid, Li Zhi thought, and glanced at the silent Ning Jian. He had communicated with him several times, but his attitude was ambiguous. He didn't mention standing in line, nor did he mention how to deal with Chi Ji. Now he was worried that he had already reported the matter to his father.

"The general has been stationed in the south for many years. Is there no general's old department stationed in the southwest? It stands to reason that if something happens, the general will hear the news no matter what."

The fourth prince Li Bi suddenly said, and looked at the second prince provocatively: "Could it be that the area in the southwest is still under the general's control? That's right, after all, it's a place where the rebels came out."
