Chapter 253 Ride Sharing
Shen Tang thought Xie Guimo was looking for her for something important, but it turned out to be just Yan Mo...
However, Shen Tang had nothing else to do. Mother Zhou was helping to take care of Chenxiangxuan, and the maids in the yard were very obedient, so she didn't have to worry about anything. She just ground ink for Xie Guimo.
However, Shen Tang got up late after staying in the study for a while. He went to pay his respects to the princess and strolled in the garden. Shen Tang ground the ink into a thick consistency, but Xie Guimo didn't write a single word before the maid came to invite them to lunch.
Fortunately, Xie Guimo's inkstone does not freeze in winter and does not dry out in summer, so he can continue to use it after coming back from lunch.
Shen Tang stayed in the study for the entire afternoon, and when he went out, he held onto his waist.
Ok.
Hongxiu added fragrance, and as she continued to caress the baby, first the baby was in her arms, then on the desk, and finally she was carried to the bed.
Shen Tang didn't agree to do that in broad daylight, but he couldn't resist being persuaded. Tomorrow is the day of the coming-of-age banquet at Princess Jinde's residence. Shen Tang has to go early to help greet the guests and go to bed early at night to get a good rest.
Shen Tang was completely eaten alive once again without knowing what was happening, not even a bone was left.
Fortunately, the guy kept his word and only hugged her for a while at night without bullying her. She slept well that night and woke up in the morning feeling refreshed.
……
Princess Jinde's mansion not only invited Shen Tang and Xie Guimo to help entertain guests, but also invited the princess.
After breakfast, Shen Tang and Xie Guimo went out together and met the princess in the garden. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the carriage was already ready.
Because the princess was also going, Shen Tang and the princess rode in the carriage together, and Xie Guimo could only ride a horse.
Princess Jinde's Mansion and Prince Jingyang's Mansion are close to each other. There are not many people on the road at this time, so it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there.
The carriage stopped, Shen Tang got off first, then helped the princess down. The nanny was waiting at the door and said with a smile, "Princess Jingyang and the Crown Prince's wife are here. Please come into the mansion."
After entering the Princess's Mansion, Princess Jinde came over and said with a smile, "It's a good thing you are here to help greet the guests, otherwise the Prince Consort and I really wouldn't be able to handle it."
The princess smiled and said, "Congratulations, Princess."
Princess Jinde never dreamed that she would have the day to marry her daughter off in this life, but she was not sad about marrying her daughter off, because General Huaihua and his wife were understanding and agreed that after Shen Ran got married, Young Master Xu would live with the princess for half a year. Shen Ran would only be married for two days before she would come back with her son-in-law. Not only would the princess's mansion no longer be deserted, but it would be more lively.
All this was thanks to Shen Tang and Xie Guimo. Princess Jinde was grateful, so she wrote an invitation to invite the prince and princess to the wedding banquet, and had it sent to the Jingyang Palace by a personal nanny, asking the princess to help greet the guests on the day of her coming-of-age banquet at the Princess's Palace.
Princess Jinde and the princess consort were chatting and laughing as they walked towards the inner courtyard. Shen Tang followed behind them. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, Ginkgo looked back and said happily, "Princess Consort, it's the eldest young master and Prince Duan who are here."
When Shen Tang turned around, he saw Xiao Huan and Xiao Xun getting off their horses. With them came Chu Yi, the son of Marquis Xuanyi, and Lu Li, the eldest son of the Minister of War.
Shen Tang was just worried that Xie Guimo was bored alone in the front yard, and now everyone has arrived.
In a few days, the eldest brother will marry Princess Roujia. She will get married, and the eldest brother will get married, but the second brother is not here. Even now, there is still no news. It is not known whether the exiled third young master of the Lu family is the second brother. The eldest brother has sent people to the border for so long, and there should be news coming back.
Even if she was wrong and Young Master Lu was not her second brother, she wanted to know the result as soon as possible. It was better than waiting with hope like this.
Shen Tang did not walk back. When she looked away, the princess and Princess Jinde had already walked far away. She hurried to catch up with them, but they soon separated again. The maid led Shen Tang to find Shen Ran.
Shen Ran stayed in her boudoir. She didn't know what the maid said, and her cheeks were flushed.
Shen Tang smiled and said, "Why is your face so red?"
Shen Ran covered her face and said, "Second sister, you are laughing at me too!"
Shen Tang said, "It's not a joke, it's envy. After getting married, you can still stay by the side of the eldest princess and her husband. How wonderful it is."
Shen Ran blushed and said, "Prince Jingyang holds my second sister dear to his heart. This is really enviable."
Today is Shen Ran's wedding banquet, but Shen Ran cannot show up in public and can only stay in the boudoir. Shen Tang talks to her, and soon Jiang Ning, Jiang Li, and Shen Luo come.
There was constant laughter in the room.
However, only Shen Tang stayed with Shen Ran in the boudoir. Jiang Ning, Shen Luo and others had to help entertain the ladies and stay in the garden more.
Shen Ran looked at Shen Tang and asked curiously, "Second sister, how did you feel when you got married?"
This... Shen Tang really didn't know how to answer.
She wore her wedding dress three times and rode in a sedan chair twice, and her mood was different each time.
The first time was the anxiety about the future and the reluctance to leave the Marquis' Mansion.
The second time was a mixture of reluctance and anticipation, and some nervousness as well, but to a negligible degree.
Shen Tang smiled and said, "She'll cry at her wedding tomorrow. Judging from Third Sister's expression, she's probably not going to cry."
Shen Ran, "..."
Shen Ran stamped his feet in shame.
She was asking her second sister a serious question, but her second sister deliberately teased her.
But she was also a little worried. A girl is supposed to cry when she gets married. What if she can't cry tomorrow?
Ginkgo covered her mouth and laughed, "Why don't you prepare some chili water? I guarantee it'll be so spicy that tears will flow."
Shen Ran looked at Shen Tang.
Shen Tang nodded in agreement, "It seems this is the only way."
Shen Ran was so embarrassed that he chased after Shen Tang and beat him.
There was a lot of noise until the maid came in and said, "The banquet is about to start. Please invite the Princess of Jingyang to sit down."
Shen Ran looked reluctant.
Shen Tang smiled and said, "I'll wait for you at the General's Mansion in Huaihua tomorrow."
Shen Ran, "..."
He was reluctant just now, but as soon as these words came out, Shen Ran wanted to push Shen Tang out.
Shen Tang left with a smile, following the maid to the banquet. She could hear the noise from a distance, and she was almost the last one to arrive at the table.
Princess Jinde and her husband married their daughter. All the civil and military officials in the court who could attend were present. The occasion was filled with joy and happiness.
The wedding banquet lasted for more than an hour before it ended. After helping to see the guests off, Shen Tang and Xie Guimo said goodbye to Princess Jinde and her husband.
Shen Tang looked around, "Where's my mother?"
Xie Guimo said, "My mother and father have already gone back."
Shen Tang said, "My mother and I came here in a carriage together, so how can I go back?"
Xie Guimo laughed, "How can I leave you in Princess Jinde's mansion?"
The two of them left Princess Jinde's mansion together. The servant had already brought the horse over. Xie Guimo helped Shen Tang onto the horse, and then he got on as well, and the two of them rode together.
Shen Tang had lived two lives, but this was the first time he rode a horse. The wind blew past his ears, making him feel refreshed and relaxed.
