Chapter 77: Chenghua Palace Banquet
Shen Wenshan came back in the evening, and Su Shi told him what happened during the day, Shen Wenshan heard that it was Princess Yong'an's meaning, and he was silent for a long time thinking about his daughter, thinking about Princess Yong'an's own brother, and waved his hand weakly to Su Shi: "It's okay, just let them go, let's wash and sleep." Music-Literature"
The Su family also wanted to say that if they decided on Shen Yuxiao's family affairs first, whether it was Su Linyuan or Guan Boya, as long as the Shen family was married, would they still be able to make the family retreat.
But after Shen Wenshan finished speaking, he went directly to the clean room, and the Su family could only hold back his words.
Four days passed in a blink of an eye, and Princess Yong'an's carriage stopped at the door of Shen's house early. Because only a few young ladies of the Shen family were invited to the post, Fang's family was naturally qualified to go as Mrs. Hou, but she couldn't even climb up now. Only a few girls from the Shen family could get into Princess Yong'an's carriage to go to the banquet by themselves.
When Shen Yuxiao and them were gone, the Liu family was still a little worried that they wouldn't collide with the nobles. The Ma family was happy, since the Shen family had no adults, the Shen Yuxiao sisters naturally had to follow Princess Yong'an's side. What is the identity of Princess Yong'an, that is, the seat is also at the front, and if she can follow Princess Yong'an, she will naturally be able to show her face among the princes and nobles, this is an opportunity that you can't ask for. It's a pity that Shen Yuqiao is already in the court now, otherwise, with Shen Yuqiao's talent, he will definitely be able to amaze the four.
Things were really as Ma thought, Gu Yu sat in the carriage and accompanied Sister Shen Yuxiao to Princess Yong'an's Mansion.
Princess Yongan directly took Shen Yuxiao and the three of them with her, and Emperor Fengqing had many children, but at the banquet, it was always the three princesses of the first emperor who sat in the first place.
The eldest princess and Princess Ning'an saw that Princess Yong'an was actually with a few little girls, and they were curious about what she was going to do, and when they saw that it was Shen Yuxiao, they immediately understood. However, the two princesses reacted lightly. There is no excessive concern on the table. When the Queen Mother saw Princess Yong'an with Shen Yuxiao's sisters, she looked at it twice, and asked, "These are the girls of the Shen family?" ”
"Back to the emperor's grandmother, these three are all girls from the Shen family, this is Shen Yuxiao, the third lady of the Shen family, and Yongan is the most in love. The other two were her cousins, and they were also likable. Princess Yongan specially brought Shen Yuxiao up. I want the Queen Mother to leave an impression.
The three Shen Yuxiao sisters immediately bowed to the Queen Mother according to Gu Yujiao. Although time is in a hurry. However, Shen Yuxiao was in the Bochang Marquis Mansion in her previous life, because Concubine Zhang Shu still had to enter the palace, so she knew all about these things for a long time. So he knelt down and moved gracefully. There is no deviation in the slightest.
The Queen Mother has always paid the most attention to etiquette, looking at Shen Yuxiao's sisters, except for Shen Yuxiao's young grade, she is still a little unstable, and the etiquette of entering the palace for the first time is not bad at all. I like it a little more.
let them follow behind Princess Yong'an, and then take the queen's palace concubine and princess. Go to Chenghua Palace.
This time, the Tibetan mission was to show loyalty to the former Tang Dynasty and to be friendly to the former Tang Dynasty, so the king of Tubo personally took the queen to the former Tang capital to pay tribute. In order to show his attention to Tibet, Emperor Fengqing asked the queen and the prince's wife to accompany him. Accompanied by the queen of Tibet. There was nothing to do with the Queen Mother, and she didn't plan to leave Ci'an Palace. In order to let the Queen Mother see Shen Yuxiao, Princess Yongan deliberately ran over and said that the King of Tubo had a few horse beatings in the palace during the day. The people in the horse room have all lost, so the banquet will be fought again. This time, I don't need anyone from the horse house.
Although the Queen Mother is old, she was an active person when she was young, and when she heard that there was a horse beat, she moved her mind, so she led the way.
Emperor Fengqing is a rare filial son, and when he saw the Queen Mother coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him. Seeing that Emperor Fengqing was so respectful, the king of Tubo naturally didn't dare to lose his courtesy, and took a group of envoys to kneel down and shouted: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old." ”
shouted that the queen mother and the emperor were happy, and shouted happily at the moment: "The queen mother is a thousand years old, and Tubo and the former Tang Dynasty are also prosperous for thousands of generations." ”
After Emperor Fengqing finished speaking, he sat down, and the banquet began. The palace maids rushed in and sent all kinds of melons and fruits tea trays. Chenghua Palace is a palace leaning on the periphery of the imperial city, and in front of the palace is the training ground of the forbidden army, and the forbidden army is here on weekdays, so the venue is very large.
The banquet tables were arranged around the front of the coaching ground according to the official rank.
Emperor Fengqing was the leader of the former Tang Dynasty, followed by the Queen Mother, and then the eldest princess, Princess Ning'an. Princess Yong'an followed Princess Ning'an. The sisters of the Shen family naturally couldn't sit in the princess's place, so the three sisters behind the princess sat together. In front of the daughter of the family and the county lord who is not of high taste, it can be regarded as out of the limelight.
Shen Yuxiao has long been accustomed to these scenes, so naturally she will not be surprised and afraid, Shen Yuanxiang has always had the style of the family because of the Liu family's teachings, and he has never shown timidity. Shen Yuyuan looked at those ladies and princesses, intentionally or unintentionally, taking advantage of the gap between wiping her mouth with a cup, and looked at them vigorously, feeling a little weak. But seeing that the two sisters were sitting upright, they were not so afraid.
Although this is just a temporary move by Princess Yong'an, just to introduce Shen Yuxiao to the Queen Mother, and what does she have in mind. But I can't help people from thinking too much.
Many of the people present had seen Shen Yuxiao and them at the Su family banquet, and seeing that the three girls of the Shen family followed the princess, they couldn't help but guess in their hearts, could it be that Emperor Fengqing was hinting at something? After all, many times in the harem, everything is closely related to the previous dynasty. And not only the Shen family, but even the eldest lady of the martial family also participated in this palace banquet, but the position of the seat was far inferior to that of several young ladies of the Shen family.
Suddenly, many princes and ladies began to speculate about the holy will, and they didn't even know that Ma Yu was at first.
The Tubo royal family is the same as the former Tang Dynasty, and what they are most enthusiastic about on weekdays is either riding and shooting or juju horses, so like in the former Tang Palace, a group of people have also been trained.
Originally, Tubo didn't prepare in advance, but after arriving in the former Tang Dynasty, he saw that the people in the capital were not very good, so he thought about it. Then he proposed a test with Emperor Fengqing.
Emperor Fengqing agreed to compete with the goodwill between the two countries, but he never thought that the ten people who were raised in the horse room on weekdays and specialized in playing horse horses would lose a few games in a row. Emperor Fengqing couldn't hold his face, so he proposed to replace the competition, and then there was a place to fight horses at the banquet.
At this moment, when the banquet began, someone naturally went to inform him, so the horsemen of Tubo rode neatly and entered the coaching ground with their sticks. There were ten people in total, but there were only four people from the former Tang side.
Shen Yuxiao saw at a glance that she still knew two of the four, one was Zhao Heng, the king of Lingjiang, and the other was her eldest cousin Su Linyuan.
Zhao Heng and Su Linyuan also saw Shen Yuxiao sitting in the stands, and Zhao Heng thought of the second Miss Shen he met in the court, and his eyes darkened. Putting away his thoughts, he saw Su Linyuan beside him, looking straight at Shen Yuxiao with some joy and excitement.
Zhao Heng didn't understand anything, and reminded Su Linyuan softly: "In front of him is the master of Tubo's horse team, just now a few boys from the palace horse team have lost, can the champion be sure?" ”
