As soon as Mu Chen and Shen Jingli got home, the emperor sent a trusted eunuch to deliver a message to him, asking him to enter the palace immediately. ”Why is it so urgent?” Shen Jingli held xun'er in his arms and looked at Mu Chen with heartache on his face. He secretly scolded the emperor for having no conscience. Mu Chen came back after a lot of hardships. He did not let people have a good rest, but also let people go into the palace to reply. He really didn't treat people as human beings.
”I'll be back soon.” He put his arm around Shen Jingli's waist and gave him a kiss on his lips. Then he went to the palace to meet the emperor with all the evidence of his crimes and the account books he had seized.
”I will see the emperor.”
Yan Chengli, the king of Jing, was also in the imperial study. Seeing Mu Chen come in, he nodded to Mu Chen with a soft smile on his face.
The emperor Longxin was very pleased to see Mu Chen, who was in military uniform and dusty. He put down his hand and stood up to meet him happily from the Dragon case and said, ”zi'an, you have done a good job this time. I want to reward you well. Tell me what you want.
The spies in Dayan's country were annihilated at one stroke. As an emperor, how could he not be happy? Originally, there was something wrong with some medicinal materials in this military supplies case, and it was discovered early, which did not cause too much harm. The official in charge also voluntarily confessed his guilt, so he did not intend to investigate wantonly. However, King Jing insisted that he let him deal with it. Unexpectedly, he would dig out the enemy's spies.
Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise it would be troublesome. The emperor's eyes on Yan Chengli were much softer, and the son had a long-term vision and proper consideration.
Thank you for your grace. This is dongfangsuan, who annihilated Dali's grand master, who was not named Shen GUI. He found all the evidence in his study, and the detailed account of the property seized. His correspondence with the queen of Dali Jialan, and the list of officials who colluded with him, please have a look at them. ” The eunuch behind mu Chenchao motioned to present all the evidence to the emperor.
”One of the prisoners brought back this time is a princess of Dali.” Shen Mudan has a noble status and may become a hostage in the war between the two countries.
The emperor nodded with a glance. He was very happy, and asked again what reward Mu Chen wanted: ”the minister wants to rest for a few months and accompany his wife and children.” Mu Chen was not polite to him at all.
When the emperor heard the speech, he was stunned and then laughed. He said, ”zi'an is really a man who values love and righteousness. OK, your request is approved by me.”
The emperor was very happy, and asked Mu Chen some details of solving the case before he let them go.
In the middle of Youshi, Mu Chen came back from the palace on horseback. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Shen Jingli, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
Xun'er was held in his arms by the time of his life. As soon as he saw Mu Chen, he struggled to get down to the ground and ran over with short legs. He hugged Mu Chen's leg, raised his head and looked at Mu Chen with bright eyes When Mu Chen bent down to pick him up, he found that he was much taller and thinner. He was more and more like a little beautiful man. He was held by his father. The little guy waved his hands happily and rubbed Mu Chen's neck.
Shen Jingli came over with a smile and tightened his clothes for him. He said, ”he's been talking about you all day, and he's going to leave his favorite snacks for you.”
Xun'er smiles shyly. His head is buried in Mu Chen's arms and rubbed against it. Then he carefully takes out a paper wrapped snack from his arms and says, ”Dad, this chestnut cake is for you to eat. I'll cover it with heat, not cold.”
Mu Chen took the chestnut cake, with the temperature of the cake, as if it could burn the palm of his hand. He looked at his son gently, and felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, which dispelled the cold air in winter.
”Dad, eat it.” Xun'er tore up the paper, picked up the chestnut cake and put it into Mu Chen's mouth. ”Uncle Li Qi made it. It's delicious...”
Mu Chen opened his mouth and took a bite under his expectant eyes. Xun'er narrowed his eyes happily and kept smiling. His lovely appearance made Mu Chen's smile deeper.
”It's cold outside. Get in.” Shen Jingli stretched out his hand and took Mu Chen's arm. ”I've got the pots and vegetables ready. We'll have hot pot tonight.”
”Good.” Mu Chen's eyes were filled with deep feelings, and he put his arms around Shen Jingli's waist. His body was full of fresh air, which made him extremely attached.
In the hothouse of the sheriff's mansion, the room was steaming hot. On the table were placed several copper hot pots. Under the pots, there were white charcoal without any smoke, and the white bubbles were rolling in the pots.
Around a few tables placed a variety of dishes, mainly mutton, beef, as well as a variety of winter vegetables, there are some ingredients, very rich.
Shen Jingli and Mu Chen came in together, and mammy Jin, who was preparing, quickly led a group of servants to
”master, madam, are ready.” Mother Jin came forward with a smile on her face and ordered people to cook in the copper pot at Shen Jingli's table.
Mu Chen looked at several hot pots around his eyes and said, ”are there any guests coming tonight? ”No, I let the people in the house eat together. It's so busy.”
Accustomed to Shen Jingli's unconventional style, Mu Chen did not question anything. He sat down with xun'er in his arms and said to the crowd, ”you can also sit down. You don't have to be stiff. Have a good time.”
The crowd cheerfully thanks, and quickly find a place to sit down, their own care to start to rinse vegetables to eat. Shen Jingli picked up a piece of scalded beef from the pot, dipped it in a white jade bowl with a reduced seasoning, cooled it and fed it to xun'er. Xun'er chewed the fat cow with his cheeks full and happy.Shen Jingli rinsed a piece of mutton for mu Chen and dipped it with some hot sauce he mixed himself. ”This meat is thin, don't rinse it for too long, and eat it while it's tender.”
Mu chenle enjoyed Shen Jingli's service. The fresh mutton, fat and thin, was beautifully cut and scalded. It was delicious with the unique sauce.
Xun'er saw that Shen Jingli was only looking at Mu Chen. He waved his arm discontentedly and called out: ”mu, Eminem, meat
When xun'er was two years old, Shen Jingli had already assured him to eat some meat, but he did not dare to let him eat too much. He took a small piece of Lentinus edodes, put it cool and fed it to xun'er.
The little guy was so coax that he ate a piece of Lentinus edodes with relish, and he did not eat on his own. He was busy asking Mu Chen to give Shen Jingli a clip.
