in the sound of swallows

Chapter 201
Shen Guiyan explained helplessly in a low voice: "The eldest prince likes Nuo'er very much. Today, I quietly carried Nuo'er out while he was asleep. When he wakes up, he will definitely lose his temper again. After all, Gui Lan's daughter, I can't just keep her in the palace without saying anything. So I came here today to say yes face to face, so that you can feel at ease."

She didn't directly want to promise Nuo'er to Sigui, she just said that she recognized her as a foster daughter, and if the friendship between the two remained unchanged after they grew up, then Shen Guiyan had no objection to accepting Nuo'er.If the relationship is no longer there, then she will be able to give Nuoer a good home in the future, which does not count as delaying her.

Jinxiu helped her a lot, so she naturally would not treat those around her badly.

Gao Jinxiu looked at Guilan: "What do you think?"

Guilan hurriedly knelt down: "It's her blessing that Nuo'er is loved by the empress, and this servant bows to thank her for her kindness."

Nuo'er didn't understand what they meant, but when her mother saluted, she also jumped down and kowtowed to Shen Guiyan in a well-mannered way: "My servant kowtows to thank you for your kindness."

The milky voice is charming.

This invisible baby relationship is settled like this.

On the way back to the palace, I ran into the national teacher on the way. This crazy monk was wearing a purple Buddhist bead, and when he saw her, he said: "Jiji Dajie, Double Tenth Festival, Your Majesty's hair is going to be completely white."

White-haired and sad?Shen Guiyan's heart sank, and the smile she was wearing just now froze in an instant.The national teacher stood on the spot and clicked his tongue twice: "I have always been very accurate in fortune-telling, and there is no mistake. Even if there are evildoers to change your life, what should come will still come! After three years, your hair will be gray. On her birthday, she shed tears on the court."

These words seemed to be a slap in the face, making her eyes darken.

The national teacher hummed obscene words and songs that he didn't know where he heard, and went out all the way from the palace road. Shen Guiyan put down the sedan chair curtain, worried.

After going through so many things, what else is waiting for her?
"Yan'er?" During the meal, Gu Chaobei called her several times before she came back to her senses, and asked with some doubts, "What's wrong with you? Nuo'er's affairs are not going well?"

"No." Shen Guiyan lowered her eyes and said, "I saw someone flying a kite when I went out today."

The emperor was at a loss, what happened to the kite flying?
"I feel that I don't know when the thread will break, so before the thread breaks, let the kite fly higher and more beautifully. Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

Gu Chaobei didn't understand, but he also nodded, what his wife said was right.

But seeing that she was a little unhappy, Gu Chaobei went out to order Zhuiyun to do something.

In the afternoon, in the open space of the palace, everyone was flying kites. In the sky, there were swallows, phoenixes, butterflies, all kinds of kites.Gu Chaobei led Shen Guiyan to look, and said, "Which one do you like? I asked them to bring it to you."

Shen Guiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she was using a metaphor!Do you understand the metaphor?It actually made people fly kites all over the palace!

However, I felt much more at ease, and pointed at a swallow: "That."

The palace man hurriedly handed the spool to her, Shen Guiyan looked at the sky, and thought with a smile, at least there are still three years left, with him pampering her so recklessly, she will not have any regrets.

Prime Minister Gu was old, and after returning the power to the emperor, he retired and returned to his hometown. The emperor asked him to stay again and again, but the prime minister did not stay. He just recommended Gu Chaodong.

Gu Chaobei looked at Gu Chaodong with a dark face, unexpectedly he had to help him in the end.

The former Fanbang beauty had already been killed along with the Iron Cannon incident, and Gu Chaodong now has no wife, but seeing that he has a heart for Buddha, no one forced him.

The Empress Dowager Nian sighed: "Prime Minister Gu has been loyal all his life, and he never betrayed the late Emperor in the end."

Gu Chaobei pursed his lips, put aside his prejudice, and accepted Gu Chaodong.

Yuwen Changqing went to Huainan, and he didn't see him when he returned to the capital, and he didn't know what happened.Asked the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother only said three words: "Look at fate."

What fate?With whom?After leaving the capital for so long, neither the emperor nor Shen Guiyan knew about it. Only the all-knowing treasure fan came to decipher: "Princess is going to marry the son of Prince Huainan. General Yuwen has gone to watch the ceremony. Master, you don't know that Princess Duanwen hasn't married for so long. , accompanied by General Yuwen, everyone felt that she would definitely marry General Yuwen in the future, who knew that the princess turned 19 this year, and went straight back to Huainan to get married, General Yuwen didn't stop her, just followed Said to go to the ceremony."

Shen Guiyan was a little bit embarrassed. Duanwen had been with Yuwen Changqing for many years. He fought side by side when he got on the horse, and his little daughter was shy when he got off the horse. If Yuwen Changqing couldn't stop her, he would never meet again. Duanwen is such a good girl.

Shen Guiwu was also married, but he was very low-key, a dignified general, and married a brothel girl as his wife, so naturally he didn't dare to make a fuss.Shen Guiyan went to see her sister-in-law. The girl is as beautiful as a fairy, knowledgeable in books and etiquette, and there is not much smoke and dust on her body. It is no wonder that the second brother will take a fancy to it.

Taishi Zhou is still busy in various colleges in the capital, sending a large number of talents to the imperial court every year.Xu Zhuangzhou is gone, he often sighs as an old man, but he is still in good spirits, he is still strong despite his age.

Everyone seems to be living a happy life, even Baoshan and Zhuiyun are married and plan to have a big fat boy next year.

Shen Guiyan smiled and looked at Nuo'er and the eldest prince who were playing in the garden, nestling in Gu Chaobei's arms with peace of mind for three years.

The country is prosperous and the people are safe, the weather is smooth, under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the world is peaceful, the old have a place to rely on, the young are educated, and the people are supported.In the capital, the sound of books is loud and loud, and there is an endless stream of trade.

Recently, lanterns and festoons have been put up everywhere in the capital. No one organizes them. The common people spontaneously hang up red silk at the door of their homes. There will be one more dish on the table today, which is very festive.

However, it's not that there is any festival approaching, nor is it a big harvest, it's just that the queen's birthday is coming soon.

The empress Shen's family returned to Yan, and she lived a legendary life. She accompanied the emperor forever, worked for the common people, and was loved by the world.Every year on her birthday, the capital city will be extremely lively, even beggars on the street will take out two saved copper coins and go to the street bun shop to exchange for two buns, stuffed with meat.

This year is the same, the emperor still shows his love for the queen to his subjects, the lion dance team and the stilt team are constantly on the street, and there are palace people who specially hold snacks on the street, and distribute the cakes to the people at will to share the joy.

This high-profile behavior also made a sound to the courtiers: it is enough to have a queen in the harem, and there is no need for other concubines to embellish.

Gu Chaobei changed his clothes early in the morning, and when he looked back at Shen Guiyan, his expression was not quite right.
