Yanmenchun

After Zhengyuan Festival, it is the end of another year.

This year, the weather is good, the people are rich, and the emperor feasts his officials.

Feng Yingru was pregnant recently, and she was vomiting constantly. Shen Tuchan came to see her, and she lay on the bed a little irritatedly and said, "Three days of small banquets, five days of big banquets, endless banquets."

It's all resentment that doesn't want to see people.

Shen Tuchan rarely saw Feng Yingru like this, and said with a smile: "You don't feel well, so don't participate."

Feng Yingru frowned and did not speak.

Princess Chang'an has always been respectful, so I don't know if she will let her save the emperor's face.

Shen Tuchan patted her hand and said: "It's okay, Princess Baoqing doesn't plan to attend the banquet, and you don't want to go, it's only respectful if you don't go."

Princess Baoqing's stomach is already very big, and there are people coming and going at the banquet, worrying about collisions.

Feng Yingru has not yet reached three months, so she should stay in bed.

When she heard that Princess Baoqing didn't plan to attend the banquet, she looked better.

Shen Tuchan comforted her a few more words before leaving.

When Chun Equinox helped her into the carriage, she couldn't help sighing: "Xiangjun is only a little older than you, and now he is pregnant."

Shen Tuchan understood what she meant, but she still turned her head and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, you are also at the age of marriage."

Chun Equinox didn't mean that, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Miss, this is not what I mean!"

Shen Tuchan smiled and said nothing, it was time for her to marry Chun Equinox.

The feast was at night, and the emperor ordered the craftsmen to make a special batch of fireworks.

Almost all the ministers, workers and female family members could come. Although there were many banquets in the imperial city, for the safety of the emperor, such a grand occasion full of fireworks was rare.

Shentuchan also brought Shentuqi and Shentuyu with her. She chose a family for Shentuyu. The marriage was already settled, and Shentuyu was going to marry in the new year.

Princess Ningguo was guarded by two nuns, and when she saw Shen Tuchan, she ran over. She was a little depressed, her eyes were red, and when she saw Shen Tuchan, she said, "Achan, where is the young master?"

Shentu Danlin had been in charge of military weapons before, and now at the end of the year, although there was a truce in various places, he still left Beijing and came back at the end of the year, just to avoid this embarrassing moment.

They all felt that when Princess Ningguo grew older and took longer, the little princess might understand that she might not like Shentu Danlin.

Shen Tuchan saluted her with a smile: "My brother is away on business, and he won't be back until the end of the year."

Princess Ningguo burst into tears: "Is he avoiding me?"

Shen Tuchan didn't expect that the little princess would cry whenever she wanted to, so she was at a loss for what to do. She hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Princess, don't cry. During the banquet, don't lose your composure."

The position where they were standing was not hidden, there was already a noble lady who was hesitating to speak and looked here, and the two nuns hurriedly half helped and half hugged her to get her down.

Shen Tuchan was worried, turned her head to look at Li Jingshu who was sitting alone in the crowd, and hurried away with Princess Ningguo.

After arriving at the side hall, Princess Ningguo managed to stop her tears, and said with a sob: "Achan, doesn't he like me?"

Shen Tuchan lovingly touched her cheek: "Princess, you are still young, and you will meet better men in the future. Maybe in a few years, you will like men who are more heroic."

Her voice was gentle, but Princess Ningguo suddenly became angry, and pushed her heavily. Shen Tuchan was unprepared, and was pushed back a few steps. The maid next to her was startled, and hurried over to help her.

Princess Ningguo said angrily: "You all think that I am a child, and I am already thirteen years old!"

The pity on Shen Tuchan's face disappeared in an instant, she looked at Princess Ningguo calmly: "Your Highness, when you first met my servant girl, she was also thirteen years old, look at yourself, crying because of a man , The empress has taken good care of you."

Princess Ningguo herself knew that it was wrong to push her, so she felt aggrieved, "Achan, I really like him."

Shen Tuchan sighed silently, she couldn't comfort people, especially Princess Ning, a precious flower in a greenhouse, so she could only say: "Your Highness, there are always things you can't get in this world, even if you are a princess. "

After Shen Tuchan finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Princess Ningguo came up and hugged her waist: "Achan, I'm sorry, don't be angry!"

Shen Tuchan stopped, and she was silent for a while before saying: "Princess, wait a minute, if my brother really likes you, he will fight for it, if he doesn't fight for it himself, then don't like him, the sons and daughters of our Shentu family , never back down."

After she finished speaking, she broke away Princess Ningguo's hand and hurried away.

The emperor has arrived, and the fireworks are about to start.

Seeing her coming, Jiang Lan walked to her side, and Shen Tuchan folded her hands in front of her belly, holding the jade ring on her thumb.

The lights were brightly lit, candle oil dripped all over the table, almost half of the palace was bustling with patrolling guards everywhere.

Princess Ningguo also came over there, her face was not very good, Princess Tai'an tilted her head to comfort her.

Li Jingshu lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Concubine Rong just had a miscarriage not long ago, she is not young, even with thick powder on her face, she can't hide her haggardness.

Her gaze swept over Shen Tuchan and Li Jingshu coldly.

The fireworks cut through the night sky like countless sharp swords, and the whole sky was extremely gorgeous.

Shen Tuchan put the tip of her tongue on her palate, and stared intently at Li Xiangshan beside the emperor.

Under the overwhelming fireworks, a sharp sword flew straight towards the emperor through layers of light and shadow.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xiangshan threw the wine glass in his hand heavily.

In an instant, the cup cracked and the arrow fell.

Gao Yongyi next to him shouted loudly: "Escort! Guards escort!"

Before the imperial guards rushed forward, the prince had already blocked the emperor, and said loudly: "There are assassins! Catch the assassins!"

The fireworks in the sky were still jumping, and under the chaos, the emperor frowned and looked around.

The queen and Concubine Rong had already stood up, looking at the emperor nervously.

There was only one cold arrow, and there was no other movement after only one strike.

There was only the sound of fireworks like thunder, and all the ministers and family members looked at each other under the colorful firelight.

The imperial guards over there have already begun to interrogate aggressively.

The emperor looked at the crown prince and Li Xiangshan and said, "How did you sneak into the assassin? What do the imperial guards do?"

The imperial guards are under the control of the emperor himself, who can ask this.

Shen Tuchan curled her lips silently, Jiang Lan seemed to feel something, and her eyes fell on her face.

It is impossible for Shen Tuchan to want to kill the king, there must be something else.

The prince over there bowed and said: "Father, I'm afraid it was done by people in the palace. The gate of the palace is tightly guarded, and the thieves will definitely not be able to get out. Li Taiwei just saved him. This is an opportunity for meritorious service. It's better to leave it to Li Taiwei." Check it out?"

He was so active, Li Taiwei's first reaction was to refuse.

But before he could speak, Li Jingshu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Jingshu stared at the identity of the lady and moved forward with anxious eyes.

Concubine Rong looked at her almost in warning.

Li Xiangshan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, minister."

"Father! Didn't you say that your majesty's safety has always been your responsibility, and now there are thieves who dare to assassinate you, you must find him out!"

Li Jingshu interrupted him with a loud voice, and said quickly with concern, the word "destroying ten thousand pieces of corpse" was extremely harsh.

Her gaze fell from the emperor to Li Xiangshan, and she never looked at the prince from the beginning to the end.
