Chapter 205 Boarding the Pleasure Boat
Shang Zhiyin muttered, knowing in his heart that this was the only way, so he had to endure it.
On the other hand, Shang Zhihe, who was lying on the bed, was no longer as arrogant as before. When he opened his eyes, he saw the top of the bed. What was there to look forward to in such a day.
So he closed his eyes and said coldly.
"I'm so annoyed. You go out and talk. I'm going to sleep."
Shiro's wife looked distressed. Her son had just woken up, how could he continue to sleep?
To put it this way, it just feels noisy.
Seeing that her good son was supposed to be roaming outside but now gave up on himself because of his lameness, the hatred in Shiro's wife's heart was aroused again.
Mrs. Wei felt a little guilty about her grandson.
If the other party is not Prince Fu, then she will definitely make the murderer pay the price, but now, everyone is suppressing her grandson, making it impossible for him to take revenge even if he wants to.
Everyone really felt sorry for him, so he was doted on him even more than before.
He immediately took Shang Zhiyin out and stopped disturbing his grandson.
Shang Zhiyin was also a young lady who grew up doted on. Once or twice was fine, but if she had to tolerate her brother every day, her petty nature would be exposed.
When he left the door, his face looked even uglier than before.
"Brother is like this every time. It's as if we caused him to get hurt. If you can, don't take it out on us."
There is injustice to be repaid, there is revenge to take revenge, what kind of uncle are you pretending to be here!
"Nonsense, Yin'er, you are a compatriot from the same mother. If even you can't understand his suffering, who else can?"
Shang Zhiyin lowered his head, knowing that his grandmother preferred his brother, so naturally he would not rush to tell her the difference.
It's just that my heart has long been in a state of giving up on this useless brother.
Seeing her silence, Mrs. Wei felt sad.
Her grandchildren and granddaughters were both dear to her heart. She didn't want to be sad alone, so she had to change the topic.
"Okay, let's go back to your house first. Grandma will see if there is anything missing and buy some more for you."
After hearing this, Shang Zhiyin had a smile on her face.
Her temperament has always been self-centered, and as long as there are benefits, she can talk about anything.
It has been nearly half a month since the Duke's mansion closed its doors to greet guests, and the General's mansion was no exception.
But the Lantern Festival has always been the highlight of the Daxing Dynasty, and naturally all officials cannot miss it.
Especially this year, I don’t know what his Majesty’s sudden interest was, but he said that he wanted to enjoy the Lantern Festival on a canal on the outskirts of the city.
After the news came out, the officials responsible for the matter lost their legs and began to make arrangements, which led to today's excitement.
The night of the Lantern Festival.
As the sun sets and the moon rises, the lights are brightly lit.
In the canals on the outskirts of Sui'an City, lotus river lanterns are floating everywhere, and they are as bright as stars.
Each river lantern embodies a person's feelings and thoughts, so people who look at it feel a little confused and envious.
At this moment, all private ships in the canal are embargoed.
Just because they had to give way to the royal boat, and following the royal boat, there were seven or eight official boats, all held together by iron chains. From a distance, they looked as grand as a long dragon.
There were some people standing in groups above, all of whom had extraordinary backgrounds. They were either civil or military officials, young ladies from aristocratic families, or young men from prominent families.
It's quite a gathering today.
The boat body is wide and the decoration is exquisite.
Standing on the loft in the middle cabin, you can overlook the entire western suburbs canal.
It is endless and has a long history.
Everyone was smiling and talking happily, drinking wine, and there was no sense of urgency at all.
The royal boat was filled with princes and nobles.
Today, the Crown Prince attends in place of His Majesty, and is naturally followed by other princes, princes and princesses.
The people in Qingyishui are all the most powerful people in the Daxing Dynasty, and the aura of the painted boat also adds a lot of majesty.
The prince is in the center, followed by his confidants on the left and right.
Although the people who manage the boat are all of our own people, those who go out must be more careful.
Prime Minister Guo was dressed quite festively today, which made him look more than ten years younger. He looked like an immortal descending from the mortal world, looking curious about everything he looked at.
The accompanying princes were also full of joy, especially King De, who said cheerfully.
"The prince is still capable. It's not interesting to go on a boat and cruise the canal to watch the lotus lanterns."
In the past, they all watched singing, dancing, and feasting in the palace or the imperial city, and it was no different.
But now, even if we still watch singing and dancing and have banquets, it is much more interesting.
Hearing his words, the prince smiled, took the wine glass at hand and said to everyone.
"It was only because of my father's interest that we came up with the idea of a boat trip on the river. I don't dare to take this honor."
The fourth prince had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were filled with disdain.
"Your Majesty, may I prosper for generations to come."
The prince fell down, and everyone present cooperated. Everyone drank a full glass and started talking about other topics with a smile.
On the other hand, Shang Ji, who was sitting next to Prime Minister Guo, was more concerned about his wife Du Jingyi who was sitting on the official boat in the back.
Sailing on a boat is not as good as on land, and I wonder if she feels uncomfortable at the moment?
Prime Minister Guo has a delicate heart and knows what Shang Ji is thinking at a glance. He also stroked his beard with crooked eyebrows and said jokingly.
"The dignified general of the Tiger Army, but at this moment he only thinks about the little lady at home, but this is going to make people laugh."
If anyone else said this, Shang Ji would definitely fight back.
It was Prime Minister Guo who spoke up, so Shang Ji looked at him playfully and told the story of the past.
"I don't know who it was, but I heard that he was punished by his wife to stand in the yard and not get close to her because he was drunk and came back two hours late. When my grandmother told me about it, I thought it was a funny story."
Prime Minister Guo's reputation of being henpecked has been around for a long time.
Therefore, he was not afraid of being teased and said indifferently.
"I was afraid of disturbing my wife by spreading the smell of alcohol in the yard."
Shang Ji didn't say much, but raised his lips. It can be seen that he was very relaxed when he was with Prime Minister Guo.
Perhaps it was because Shang Ji mentioned the past that Prime Minister Guo couldn't help but sigh.
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you little guys can support the family. Great, if Yan Gang knew about it, he would be happy that you have achieved what you have today."
Gu Yangang is Shang Ji's grandfather.
The famous marshal of the Gu family army and Prime Minister Guo are also close friends for many years.
It's a pity that the two who should have been drinking and chatting happily in this lively season are now separated forever.
Therefore, when he mentioned it, Shang Ji's eyes were full of nostalgia.
In the past, he was more indignant, but now the peaceful days have made him less angry, and he answered in a calm tone.
"It doesn't matter to me whether it is meritorious or not. As long as I can let my grandmother live out her life and take good care of my aunts, I will not be ashamed of the Gu family's kindness in raising me all these years."
