Chapter 411: Rain Festival

The sky is blue and the wind is beautiful. It should be a good time to go out with your beautiful lady to enjoy the scenery. However, the emperor led a small team to Jianzhang Linyuan to hunt on horseback, just to capture prey and use it to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth to pray for rain and relieve the drought in the northwest. , follow the trend of peace in the world.

Every time when hunting and offering sacrifices, the emperor liked to take his concubine with him, but today Shen Yixiang was wearing a bright red riding outfit that was similar to the concubine's favorite. Shen Yixiang was in a trance and thought that his beloved concubine had recovered and could accompany him again. He rides with him and enjoys the joy of running.

"Father, I came here to wait in the forest garden without permission from my father. I hope you will forgive me." Shen Yiyue greeted her respectfully. She knew that if she asked for permission first, she would be rejected, because the emperor this time She had already ordered that not a single female member of the harem should be taken with her, so she could only kill him first and then show him off.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Yixiang frowned and stared. Concubine Xuan came to Xuande Hall to beg twice because she wanted to participate in this sacrifice, but he refused both times, so he had no choice but to issue an edict not to allow female relatives to participate.

"My father is worried about the world and the people. I see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart. If my mother and concubine fully knew about it, I would definitely be happy and grateful that my son can be by your side."

Shen Yiyue heard that Concubine Xuan and Concubine Jin suggested marrying her off to Jin Ge at the last dinner. She was so angry that she went crazy and had a temper for most of the day. Then she learned that Concubine Xuan wanted to participate in the sacrifice and angered the emperor, so she came up with the idea. They adopted the strategy of killing first and then showing off, just to get a sense of revenge.

Although she knew that Concubine Xuan would not agree to her marrying into the Ze Feng clan, it was difficult to change her love for Ze Fenglin. If she admired someone, she would try every means to get close and get to know her. Shen Yiyue looked around but did not see her last The person she wanted to see filled her heart with melancholy. She had been lovesick for two months. Unless she saw the person she wanted to meet, she would definitely become seriously ill.

"Father, you may want to take advantage of the sacrifice to pray for your concubine!" Shen Yishuo said kind words for Shen Yishuo.

"Well, for the sake of your kindness and filial piety, I won't pursue you for breaking the rules. I just want you to stay quiet and don't do anything inappropriate to anger the gods of heaven and earth." Shen Yixiang thought about his concubine. He was so distressed that he wanted to try anything he could say or do to make him feel better.

"Father is kind, thank you for understanding your son's filial piety." Shen Yi felt a little guilty. She didn't believe that this sacrifice and prayer would make her mother and concubine better, because she hadn't even gone to Tianshen Temple to pray for half a month. It works.

Shen Yiyue has become accustomed to the state of her mother and concubine. As long as her father is by her side, she and her mother and concubine can get along well. She always helps her dress and dress, and has established a very trusting relationship with her.

So much so that twice the emperor was not with the mother and daughter, but Concubine Jing still showed a bright smile to Shen Yiyue.

"Where's Zhen'er?" Shen Yixiang looked around but didn't see Shen Yixiang.

"Back to my father, I'll tell you, there is an exam in the school today for Yi'er." Shen Yishuo specially sent Shen Yichen and Youchen to Longyuan Hall in the morning.

"Sir, you really don't know how to adapt. My father attaches great importance to sacrifices, but he doesn't even allow the prince to participate." Shen Yiyu complained very much. He has never liked Longyuan Hall since he was a child. No matter how high-ranking the teacher is, They can't even mention his interest in ancient books and poems.

"Zhen'er is also very timid. After all, something like that happened at the Shuangxing Festival last time, so that he doesn't dare to ride a horse now." Shen Yishuo explained for Shen Yichen, even if the scholar-bureaucrat, no matter how knowledgeable he is, is there, In front of the emperor, he is just a small teacher. How dare he disobey the emperor's order?

"It's a good thing that Zhen'er can feel at ease in school, but what about Huan'er? The injury hasn't healed yet?" Shen Yixiang glanced at the prince.

"Father, I want to go to the house to see my eldest brother after the sacrifice, but I haven't seen him yet. I am very worried." Shen Yiyu was very worried, but in fact he just wanted to find a reason to go out of the palace to have some fun.

"Go ahead and send him to the imperial doctor later to take a look. It's not a common thing." Shen Yixiang felt that he should do more for Shen Yihuan so that he could live up to his brother's instructions. "Suri, look at it later."

See if everyone is present?"

"Hey~" Eunuch Su looked at the names on the list given by the emperor, "Reporting to the emperor, there is only one person missing, Mr. Dugu."

"Did Duke Wei know about this? Or did you neglect your duty and not notify him?" Shen Yixiang looked at Eunuch Su with squinted eyes.

"Your Majesty, this servant has chosen a trusted and capable servant to deliver the edict to the palace." Eunuch Su immediately knelt down in fright and explained.

"Back to the emperor, Duke Wei sprained his ankle a few days ago. Maybe that's why he didn't come!" Ze Fengduo explained for him. He hadn't seen Dugu Ruyuan for several days.

"Even if you are injured, you should ask for leave from me? Could it be that as my in-laws, you don't know how to behave?" Shen Yixiang said this specifically to Ze Fengduo and Sikong Zhi, fearing that they would think that Dugu Ruyuan was trying to show off to him.

"What the emperor said is that the emperor and his ministers should abide by self-discipline." Sikong Ji said flatteringly.

"Well, what I love you said is true. Both monarchs and ministers should abide by self-discipline. I have indeed been a little slack on government affairs recently. If there is anything inappropriate, all my dear friends should raise it in time." Shen Yixiang wanted to respect the concubine.

The morning court had been suspended for half a month. He had been on the throne for nearly twenty years, and he had never been so negligent.

While the emperor was chatting with the courtiers, Shen Yiyue pulled Shen Yishuo aside and asked, "Third brother, where is General Lin?"

"You want to see him?" Shen Yishuo asked with a half-smile.

"You know what you're asking, why didn't he come?" Shen Yiyue asked in a low voice with a slightly red cheek.

"Are you here for your mother and concubine? Or are you here for Linzi? Or do you just want to join in the fun? Fortunately, I can explain it to your father for you." Shen Yishuo looked at his father thoughtfully.

, seeing that he didn't notice that he was chatting with his second sister, he felt relieved.

"Thank you, Third Brother, for rescuing the siege. I just want to ask, I haven't seen Lin for a long time...Brother, you are not allowed to say hello to me?" Shen Yiyue lowered his voice and acted coquettishly.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, why didn't you say hello to me? When you came up, you asked where Linzi had gone? You miss him so much, why don't you go to him in person to reminisce about the past?" Shen Yishuo teased.

"When third brother has time, how about I treat you and Brother Lin to a banquet?" Shen Yiyue did not attend the dinner party to welcome Shen Yishuo, and felt a little regretful.

"He seems to be taking care of his grandmother at home recently. I guess you won't be able to invite her for a while." Shen Yishuo nodded firmly.

"Third brother, you're the best. Can you help me set up a game someday? Please." Shen Yiyue once asked Shen Yihuan, but after he agreed, he never matched her with Ze Fenglin.

"Oh~ are you thinking of me now?" Shen Yishuo hadn't seen Shen Yishuo for a long time and felt that she had lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard.

"Third brother, I have something serious to talk to you about." Shen Yiyue suddenly said seriously.
