Just before her family was confiscated and exiled, Shen Yunyue emptied her own storeroom and, while she was at it, also emptied the太子(crown prince's) mansion's storeroom.
This was...
Chapter 398: Shen Yunteng, the Fortune Teller
Shen Yunyue didn't realize she had set off a firework, but it had caused many people to kneel outside and kowtow for half the night. She thought it was a sign from heaven, and was afraid that when she returned home, heaven wouldn't see her sincerity.
Many people could hardly get out of bed the next day.
It was winter, and I knelt for half the night.
Can the knee bone be healed?
Early the next morning.
The bald boy Shen Yunteng changed into a proper sky blue cotton robe, tied a silver belt with a peculiarly shaped jade pendant hanging on it.
I waited at the Fu family's gatehouse early in the morning.
Yingfeng was very sweet-talking to everyone he saw in the morning and received a lot of red envelopes.
Seeing Shen Yunteng sitting upright at the door of the gatehouse, he couldn't help but speak:
"Master Yunteng, please go wait in the study in the front yard. Our master gets up quite late, so it might take another half an hour."
Shen Yunteng twitched his lips slightly, "Are you Yingfeng?"
Yingfeng's eyes widened instantly, "How did you know?"
"I can tell."
Shen Yunteng said this with a smile, like an old monk who says half of the sentence and leaves the other half for you to guess.
"I'll just sit here and wait for them."
Shen Yunteng is older than Shen Yunyue, so Fu Xuanheng should call him cousin.
An Yi on the side said:
"Are you as skilled in divination as the Imperial Master of the Southern Li Kingdom?"
Shen Yunteng nodded. "Yeah. Astronomy, geography, and fortune-telling. I just know a little bit about them, just to make a living."
Yingfeng: “?”
It definitely doesn't look like someone who is just trying to make a living.
Shen Yunteng was modest, but the others didn't think he knew anything. They gathered around him, asking him to tell their fortunes.
In fact, we don’t seek too much truth.
It's just for good luck.
Shen Yunyue slept late last night, and she and Fu Xuanheng couldn't help but enjoy a sweet life.
When I woke up, I found Fu Xuanheng was still there.
She opened her eyes and Fu Xuanheng kissed her forehead.
"Happy New Year, Yunyue."
"Happy New Year, Xuan Heng."
The first blessing they both gave to each other.
After looking at each other, they smiled knowingly.
Shen Yunyue snuggled in his arms, resting her arms and legs on Fu Xuanheng's body. "Should I get up?"
"Yeah." Fu Xuanheng nodded, "Mu Ya and the others are waiting outside."
"Okay. I really don't want to get up."
It felt wonderful to have Fu Xuanheng in bed early in the morning.
Fu Xuanheng smiled.
"Then I can't get up with you."
"There are a lot of things to do in the morning. After finishing these, I have to go and wish my grandfather and others a happy new year." Shen Yunyue yawned and climbed up from Fu Xuanheng's arms.
Fu Xuanheng then got up and put on a red brocade robe.
His face is as beautiful as jade.
This was the second time Shen Yunyue saw him wearing a red brocade robe. The first time was on the day they got married.
He looked like he was going to die at any moment.
Shen Yunyue reached out and touched Fu Xuanheng's face. "He is a villain after all. His appearance and temperament are absolutely amazing."
The "big villain" Fu Xuanheng's warning is obvious.
Shen Yunyue lowered her eyes and smiled:
"That's not what I said. I just hate villains like you."
"You should wear this red double-breasted long jacket embroidered with golden peonies." Fu Xuanheng took out a red long jacket from the closet.
After Shen Yunyue changed, she looked even more noble and gorgeous.
The skin on the face is as smooth as baby skin.
"Mu Ya, come in."
"yes."
Mu Ya and Chun He came in.
After helping Shen Yunyue to wash and dress, Fu Xuanheng walked out.
"Young Madam, let's style your hair into a grand and gorgeous bun today." Mu Ya had already started to style Shen Yunyue's hair into a grand bun while speaking.
There is a gold hairpin with rubies on her head.
A thin golden Ruyi hairpin.
A golden flat piece, a golden ruby and a golden hairpin.
"Put on the wooden hairpin that Xuan Heng gave me, and don't wear the rest." Shen Yunyue looked at the hairpins on her head full of wealth and couldn't help but be amazed: if she picked up one of them at random, it would be enough to reward others for a year.
She opened her jewelry box.
He took out five gold hairpins of different styles from inside.
He handed the most valuable one to Mu Ya, "Mu Ya, this is a reward for you."
"The remaining four are for Spring Lotus, Summer Lotus, Autumn Lotus, and Winter Lotus."
Mu Ya and Chun He hurriedly knelt down.
"I thank Madam Young for the reward."
The reward from their master is a great honor for them.
Shen Yunyue applied lip balm before standing up. "Muya, take the red envelopes I prepared yesterday. Each person will receive a silver nugget, and those who followed Xuan Heng in the front yard will each receive a gold nugget."
"yes."
Mu Ya responded.
Go out and distribute the rewards for the first day of the new year to everyone.
Someone came over and told me that Shen Yunteng from the Shen Mansion had come here early in the morning.
Shen Yunyue smiled and asked someone to invite her into the flower hall.
On the table in the flower hall.
There are rice dumplings and other food.
Shen Yunyue arrived at the flower hall, and Li Weiyang, the Empress, and Fu Xuanting were already inside.
The Shen family didn't come here to eat this morning.
It was agreed that after Shen Yunyue and the others went to pay New Year's greetings, they would stay at the Shen family for lunch.
"Where are Long Yizhi and the others?"
Shen Yunyue couldn't help but frown when she saw that there were only three women in the room.
"They went to the front yard. They said they would eat there instead of in the hall." The Queen smiled. "An Yi and the others are asking Ling Moxuan and the others to give out the bounty."
Shen Yunyue thought of something and asked doubtfully:
"You're not in Nanli Country during the New Year, right?"
The Queen suppressed her smile and said, "This is something that my uncle and I have discussed. If I do it too well, it will cause you great trouble in the future."
"The Imperial Uncle agrees with my opinion." What the Empress didn't say was that her Imperial Uncle was also a household name in Nanli, a genius who had been gaining experience outside since he was a child.
I met many talented people.
He understood earlier that the destiny of the Southern Li Kingdom was over.
When a country's national destiny is gone, whoever of the most orthodox members of the royal family sits on that position will die.
How to do it?
He was angry at first.
After thinking it through, he reluctantly agreed to the Queen's suggestion.
The country is hers.
There is nothing wrong with her using it to exchange for her own life.
after all.
Anyone else who sat on it would have died suddenly. Otherwise, just a few days after the announcement of appointing someone else as the Queen's successor, one of them died from straining too much on the toilet and breaking a tendon.
One was struck to death by lightning on his way to court.
A capital word "miserable".
Shen Yunteng came over after Shen Yunyue finished her breakfast.
The Queen and Li Weiyang went out together.
Fu Xuanting looked at Shen Yunyue hesitantly, "Sister-in-law. You said I..."
"No, you're a girl. You should still be reserved." Shen Yunyue rejected her words directly without asking any more questions.
Fu Xuanting: “?” Can you read minds?
Shen Yunteng glanced at Fu Xuanting calmly, "Miss Fu, your heart is moved. This is your true love. But remember, the other party's family is not simple, even if they say it is simple."
"Rural people are simple, but they can also push for more."
"If Miss Fu can grasp the right balance and make the other party's family feel that you are superior to them, they will be afraid of you even if they have some small thoughts."
Fu Xuanting was stunned.
"Who's so loud-mouthed?"
Shen Yunteng pointed at Fu Xuanting's face and said, "You told me that."
"My cousin escaped the disaster by traveling with a wandering monk. When he came back, he inherited his master's teachings. He just didn't enter Buddhism."
Shen Yunyue gave a brief explanation.
Fu Xuanting suddenly understood. "Thank you very much." She politely took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from her purse and said, "This is for you. You deserve it."
Shen Yunteng: “?” Is this the first income this year?
He accepted it happily.
"Thank you very much."
Shen Yunyue couldn't help but be stunned. She thought Shen Yunteng would not accept it, and she also thought Fu Xuanting would not give it.
Both of their actions confused her.
After Fu Xuanting left.
Shen Yunteng and Shen Yunyue sat down.
He looked at Shen Yunyue steadily and said, "Sister, you have worked hard over the past year."
"I want to go to Yunheng Palace to study and assist you in the future."
"Become the national teacher?" Shen Yunyue asked.
Shen Yunteng nodded, "The taboo between the Ice Sea Peak and the East China Sea will be broken soon."
"How are we going to fight back then?"
