The Yunhe Hall is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties held palace banquets, large and spacious, at the end is a high platform, from top to bottom with seats, from the respect to the humble, divided into several classes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There is also a large stage in the middle.
Sun Guifei and Wang Guifei and a few concubines with high ranks, they did not enter the Yunhe Hall when they arrived at the Yunhe Palace, but went to the side hall next to them to wait for the emperor, as for their lives and concubines with low ranks, they entered the palace first.
As soon as Shen Zhizhi entered the Yunhe Hall, he was shocked.
At this time, the Yunhe Hall was already sitting in some clan ministers and officials above the third grade, and it was very lively.
Several princes and princesses were among them.
Among them, there are also many palace maids and eunuchs who deliver imperial meals.
The dancing girl on the stage, her waist and limbs are swaying lightly, the water sleeves are flying, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of moon drums echo in the clouds and the hall.
Shen Zhizhi helped Mrs. Zhao to the fourth row, Zhao Yuanhao had already come in advance, and he was worried about his grandmother and little wife, so he impatiently sent away several sets of officials who were close to the front, and ignored the resentful eyes of the third princess from time to time.
Zhao Yuanhao, who had been looking towards the door of the main hall, saw Shen Zhizhi and Mrs. Zhao for the first time, and immediately got up and went over with Shen Zhizhi to help Mrs. Zhao towards the seat.
"Grandmother, Zhizhi, why are you so late?" Zhao Yuanhao asked with concern, and then his eyes fell on Shen Zhizhi, and he found that her face was not unusual, and he was secretly relieved.
Old Madam Zhao patted the eldest grandson's hand, smiled lovingly, and didn't say anything, but Zhao Yuanhao understood what his grandmother meant, and sighed in his heart.
Every year at the palace feast, my grandmother had to suffer for an hour or two.
This year there is another pregnant little wife.
"Zhizhi, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, the child is fine, there is a grandmother here, don't worry." Shen Zhizhi replied with a smile, she had prepared so much for this palace banquet, how could she let herself have an accident.
Old Madam Zhao was secretly funny, couldn't this eldest grandson see that Zhizhi's face was very good?
The three of them arrived at the seat and sat down, and coincidentally, the one sitting next to Mrs. Zhao was Mrs. Wei and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wei family, that is, Shen Wuwu's mother-in-law.
In fact, this is not a coincidence, but the eldest prince secretly arranged it.
As for Old Madam Shen's grade, she was relatively low and couldn't sit in their position.
Zhao Yuanhao, as a minister of the imperial court, cannot sit in the position of the female dependents.
After settling his grandmother and little wife, Zhao Yuanhao reluctantly returned to his seat.
Shen Zhizhi quietly listened to the chatter between Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wei, and replied from time to time, observing the people who participated in the palace banquet by the way.
As for the eyes of everyone floating over from time to time, especially the gaze of the third princess, jealous, unwilling, complicated, like a sharp sword, it shot straight at her, as if it wanted to pierce her.
Shen Zhizhi calmly ignored it.
The four princes on the high platform are the most eye-catching.
In addition to the first vacant position, the second seat is the second prince who has changed his temperament, the third prince who is full of ambition and high spirits, the fourth prince who still looks like a gentleman, and the fifth prince who is bookish.
Shen Zhizhi took a deep look at the empty position, and secretly guessed whether the eldest prince would appear at the palace banquet.
Two months is enough time for the eldest prince to condition his body.
The current palace banquet is the best time to show up.
The eldest prince shouldn't miss it, right?
Suddenly, a long bell rang out, and the singing and dancing suddenly stopped, and everyone knelt down with an uproar.
The emperor brought the eldest prince and all the concubines into the Yunhe hall, everyone worshipped, and after the emperor sat down, the majestic voice sounded: "Everyone, today is a family banquet, you don't have to be restrained." ā
"At the same time, I want to announce a great event!"
"My eldest son, Ri Biao Yingqi, is gifted and beautiful, fortunately healed by a master, and has now recovered, I am determined to make him the crown prince and announce it to the world on a certain day."
Everyone was stunned by the bombs thrown by the emperor, and the faces of the three princes on the high platform turned white, and he looked at his mother concubine - Sun Guifei anxiously, but found that the mother concubine was smiling and his heart sank.
Except for the second prince and the fifth prince who didn't have any ideas, the eyes of the fourth prince were gloomy for a moment, and his sleeves tightened.
Shousuke-sama stroked his beard and smiled.
The emperor's words fell, and he slowly swept over everyone: "Do you have any objections to Aiqing?" ā
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
Everyone didn't want to touch the emperor's mold at this time, and they found that the eldest prince's eyes were deep, his face was ruddy, and his bearing was extraordinary, not at all like the rumored bedridden, and they didn't know if the eldest prince was really cured.
As for the ministers who took refuge in the three princes, their hearts were cold.
Sure enough, until the last minute, no one can decide whether to win or lose.
Now it's the eldest prince, oh, it's time to be called the crown prince now, and the third prince has been suppressed.
I can only pray that the three princes will be stronger.
Jian Bohou's eyes were dark, his body shook, his face was extremely ugly, the emperor ordained the crown prince, but the candidate was not the third prince who was regarded as an invisible prince by everyone, and his face was slapping.
Shen Zhizhi didn't expect the eldest prince to be a blockbuster.
Originally, she was going to leave the palace as soon as possible after the palace banquet on the grounds of physical discomfort, but now it seems that Sun Guifei is afraid that she is not in the mood to find fault with her.
Looking at Sun Guifei's forced smile from afar, Shen Zhizhi was in a good mood.
At this year's palace banquet, everyone had different thoughts, there must be some people who didn't know how to eat, but Shen Zhizhi ate very happily, she thought about the emptiness of His Royal Highness the Prince's backyard while eating, there was not a single woman, and those noble ladies who were staring at her husband were afraid that they were going to change their goals.
Today's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a piece of fat that everyone wants to take a bite of.
Old Madam Zhao was stimulated by her good appetite and ate a lot.
The same goes for Mrs. Wei and the others.
The Wei family did not participate in the prince's succession, and whoever became the prince had nothing to do with their Wei family.
After the palace banquet, Sun Guifei really didn't find fault.
Everyone's energy is focused on the freshly baked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Sun Guifei is no exception.
Where does her little shrimp have that position is important.
Shen Zhizhi and Old Madam Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and after saying goodbye to the Wei family, Old Madam Shen and the eldest lady, they left the palace and sat in the warm carriage, and after waiting for long, Zhao Yuanhao came out.
The young couple sat in the same carriage, and it was already dark when they returned to the house.
The room was very warm, the candle flame was swaying, and Shen Zhizhi, who had bathed and washed, comfortably rubbed the quilt on the kang bed and brought out the string of Buddhist beads given by Wang Guifei.
"Ah Hao, Wang Guifei gave me a string of Buddhist beads, and I found that Sun Guifei's face changed."
Zhao Yuanhao took a closer look at the Buddha beads, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect his little wife's luck to be so good, and she actually fell into the eyes of Wang Guifei.
"When Wang Guifei was young, in order to save the saint who had not yet ascended the throne at that time, she blocked two deadly arrows with her body."
"At that time, Wang Guifei was already more than five months pregnant, and after that accident, Wang Guifei lost her child and could no longer have children."
"This Buddha bead was given to Wang Guifei by the Holy Lord at that time."
"It's significant, you might even say it's a talisman."
Shen Zhizhi was stunned, no wonder Concubine Sun Guifei had to change her face when she saw it, she suddenly felt that the Buddha beads in her hand were a little hot.
"That'...... So how could she give it to me? It's just the first time we've met, haven't we? ā
"......" Zhao Yuanhao hesitated, "Maybe you fell into her eyes." ā
"Perhaps." Shen Zhizhi put away the Buddha beads.
Zhao Yuanhao took out an envelope at this time and handed it to Shen Zhizhi.
"For you."
Shen Zhizhi looked at him in surprise and took the envelope curiously, "Who sent the letter?" ā
"His Royal Highness the Prince's nurse Jiang Shi."
Shen Zhizhi frowned slightly, and guessed while opening the envelope: "I guess I want to express my gratitude." ā
"This ...... How is this possible? ā
When Shen Zhizhi finished reading the letter, the whole person was stunned, and the words that Master Shen looked at her before she got married came to mind: "You are very similar to your mother!" ā
Therefore, His Royal Highness the Prince's nurse Jiang will inquire about her only when she sees her appearance...... In the end, it should be confirmed.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have contacted her.
Therefore, whether she is the Shen family or not, my father should know.
Zhao Yuanhao was taken aback, and hurriedly snatched the letter to take a look, his eyes narrowed slightly, when he was a wandering soul in his previous life, Zhizhi had always been a member of the Shen family, but now there are variables.
Yes, the previous life is different from this life.
The little wife in her previous life estimated that she would not have the opportunity to meet Mama Jiang next to the eldest prince, so her life experience has been concealed.
If you want to determine whether what Jiang said is true, it is very simple, just ask your father-in-law, who is the only one who knows the truth.
It's just that...... Zhao Yuanhao narrowed his eyes, now is the wrong time.
"Ah Hao, do you think I should ask my father about this?" Shen Zhizhi took a deep breath and looked at her husband with some embarrassment.
She had a hunch in her heart that what Jiang said in the letter should be true.
If her biological mother is really from the Liu family, and she became her father's concubine with her pregnancy, then she is the daughter of a criminal minister.
Zhao Yuanhao pondered for a while, "If your own mother is really the young lady of the Liu family who was exterminated seventeen years ago, as soon as your life story is revealed, it will definitely attract attack." ā
"We'd better confirm the truth privately first, and if it's true, I'll secretly find out your brother's whereabouts then."
"Jiang is a cautious person, I don't think she will be exposed."
"You're pregnant now, don't think too much, leave everything to me." Zhao Yuanhao stroked her still flat abdomen with his big hand and said in a deep voice.
Jiang said that the Liu family was framed, whether it was true or not, he would find out.
Shen Zhizhi nodded, leaning lazily on him, "Listen to you, I'm not in a hurry." ā
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The emperor canonized the crown prince at the palace banquet, and the Tianqi Dynasty finally had a justifiable prince, and the situation of the three princes, who had been enjoying the treatment of the invisible prince, became awkward.
Of course, the most shocking and frightened of them was Shen Wufang, the side concubine of the four princes.
It seems that since she got married, everything in her previous life has slowly escaped her control.
