Chapter 204: Full of Friends

Because the time to be this Princess Yan is still short, and she rarely goes to the palace to attend meetings, today is the first time that Cheng Jinzhi has participated in this kind of family banquet where royal relatives gather. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not to mention that this banquet had to sit under the nose of Emperor Zhou until midnight, when she thought that Empress Zhao and the crown prince would also be present, her mood was instantly discounted, and she just thought that time could pass faster, and she would better go home early, shoot a cucumber, and set off a fireworks.

The guests sitting in this Lin'an Hall today are all Yuye Jinke, and their status is noble.

This dazzling brocade and jade clothes, beaded crown canopy, jade Luo Qi, wine and delicacies, Cheng Jinzhi was dazzled, and he couldn't believe that he who was humble and disgraced in the crowd of Cheng Mansion in the past had become one of these royal relatives by mistake.

After secretly sighing, she restrained her expression, straightened her back, and sat down with Gao Heng.

It's just that as soon as he sat down, in addition to the successive greetings, Cheng Jinzhi also clearly felt the different eyes projected from all directions, some looking, some envious, some speculating, and some jealous......

Each gaze implied a variety of emotional colors, crackling on her face, seeing that she was uncomfortable, but she could only pretend to be disapproving and smile.

It is estimated that after a while, his face will probably become a stiff "facial paralysis" like Gao Heng.

Taking advantage of the gap before the dragon driver arrived, she also looked around, and glanced at the people sitting in the hall a few times.

Although there were also many royal relatives who came to Gao Heng's wedding, but at that time, because of the red hijab, the whole person was a little nervous, so many of the royal relatives who came to watch the ceremony were at most to take a picture, and she didn't look at anyone carefully at all, otherwise she wouldn't have even been impressed by the county lord of Lingrong who came to her wedding.

As far as the eye could see, Cheng Jinzhi still saw a few familiar faces, the first of which was the prince sitting diagonally opposite him.

Today's prince is also dressed in gorgeous clothes and has a radiant appearance, but the abnormal thing is that he did not provoke Gao Heng as in the past, and seemed to have become a little quiet, just drinking wine silently, with an indescribable strangeness between his eyebrows.

The princess next to her, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was feeding a seven or eight-year-old boy to eat peeled fragrant pears.

Of course, Cheng Jinzhi remembered that this boy was the imperial grandson who snatched her handkerchief that day and fell into the water and almost killed her.

"This crown princess was really dignified, but marrying such a sinister husband is really wronged her. But it is said that it is not a family that does not enter the door, maybe she and this prince are also in a nest of snakes and rats. ”

Cheng Jinzhi pursed his lips with palpitations when he thought about it, and when he was about to withdraw his gaze, he was met by the prince who was drinking.

I saw him looking at himself meaningfully, and the corners of his mouth gradually overflowed with a hint of sadistic smile, and under the four eyes, Cheng Jinzhi's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt a chill, and hurriedly turned his head over

"What's wrong with you?"

Gao Heng, who was beside him, naturally noticed Cheng Jinzhi's unusual reaction, and turned sideways and asked with concern.

"No... It's okay. ”

Cheng Jinzhi waved his hand with a far-fetched smile, took a sip of the wine on the table, and saw that there was another smell of wine between his lips and teeth, so he quickly put it down, and then picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a white jade radish shreds and sent them into his mouth to rinse his mouth.

After all, yesterday's wine strength has not completely passed, and she doesn't even want to smell the wine at the moment, let alone touch another drop of wine.

Because of the sudden fright just now, she didn't dare to look at the prince anymore, but fell her gaze elsewhere.

Just looked at it for a while, intentionally or unintentionally, and a middle-aged man of the same age as Cheng Yan on the diagonal right came into his eyes.

Although this person looks more than half a hundred years old, he is still in good shape, with plump eyebrows, and a gold-rimmed crown dress, which is quite imposing.

Out of curiosity, she put her hand under the table and snapped her fingers at Gao Xun who was sitting at the table next to her, and immediately called Gao Xun back who was chatting with the princes and princesses opposite.

"Golden Branch, what's wrong?"

"Who's that old man?"

Cheng Jinzhi's chin raised diagonally to the right.

"Which one?"

Gao Xun squinted his eyes and stretched his chin to look in the direction that Cheng Jinzhi was pointing at, this posture was too obvious, and he hurriedly asked Cheng Jinzhi to raise his hand and pull it back.

At the same time, after seeing that the lord of Lingrong, who had just been playing with him in the Guangling Palace, entered the palace, he sat down next to this man, and his words and deeds were very close, and Cheng Jinzhi suddenly understood that he was the King of Qi mentioned by Concubine Hui before.

As soon as he saw King Qi, Cheng Jinzhi couldn't help but think of Zhao Xinzhi, the uncle of the dynasty.

Since he is the queen's brother, he should naturally come to the banquet, but Cheng Jinzhi searched around for a while, but he didn't see him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was indeed alone, and he didn't even dare to come to the emperor's banquet to join in the fun, but he was very individual.

"This person is almost here, why hasn't my father come yet, even the queen mother is nowhere to be seen, it's really late. ”

Gao Xun muttered in his ears, although Cheng Jinzhi didn't say anything on his face, he silently hoped that this New Year's banquet would be leaderless like this, without restraint, and then disperse in a hurry, and it would be best to go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.

Of course, this is just Cheng Jinzhi's wishful thinking.

As the bright voice of the celebrant sounded, Emperor Zhou was dressed in a red and gold dragon court dress, his face was ruddy, and he was in a good mood, and he stepped into the Lin'an Hall surrounded by the inner prison palace laves.

The hall that was still noisy and noisy was immediately silent, and everyone present was solemn and respectful, and bowed in order.

After Emperor Zhou symbolically said a few words about the opening remarks of the New Year, until he said: "It's rare to celebrate the festival, it's a family banquet, everyone doesn't have to be restrained, just sit down." ”

Cheng Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and sat down with Gao Heng, but he always felt that his spirit was a little tighter than before, and he obviously couldn't do what Emperor Zhou said, "don't be restrained".

So he looked down at the exquisite and delicious dishes on the table, picked up the chopsticks and took two bites, wanting to borrow the food to ease the emotions in his heart.

When he raised his eyes again, he looked at the empty seat beside Emperor Zhou that should have been where Empress Luan was sitting, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart.

"Why hasn't this Queen Zhao come for a long time, is it possible that she still wants to make her debut in the finale to give everyone a "surprise"?"

After thinking about it, I saw that Emperor Zhou, who was originally pleasant, suddenly put down his wine glass, turned his face and looked at the door of the hall, and said in a loud voice after a moment of silence.

"What about the queen, why haven't you come to the banquet at this hour?"
