Night was fast approaching.

According to the etiquette system, King Yi needs to take the bride into the palace at this night to thank him, in the night, the east gate of King Yi's mansion drove out of two elegant carriages, one in front of the other, and drove steadily in the direction of the palace.

The first carriage carrying Su Yuanyi and Shen Qingyi was the first carriage, and Su Wanqing was sitting in the second carriage, the moonlight was reflected on her face through the gap in the curtain during the carriage marching, and it was impossible to see what her expression was.

At this time, when the lights are on, the streets are a little sparsely populated, and only by passing through some lanes can you feel the prosperity of Kyoto from the lanterns and zigzag bamboos.

Hearing the carriage driving into the palace gate, Su Wanqing lifted the curtain on one side, watching the green bricks continue to pass in front of her, and the long road could only hear the sound of horses' hooves clattering in her ears, which was very quiet.

After walking for a while, a very magnificent hall appeared in front of Su Wanqing's eyes, the bright lights were extremely dazzling in the night, and the carriage gradually approached and slowly stopped.

At this time, Emperor Zhongzheng had already prepared a feast in the main hall.

Through the open door of the palace, Su Wanqing could see the figure of longing, as if there were a lot of people, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and followed Su Yuanyi towards the main hall.

As soon as their footsteps moved, some attendants stepped forward to take the carriage away, and the palace maids guarding outside the palace gate saw that King Yi was approaching, and they all bowed their knees.

This hall sits east and faces west, when Su Wanqing entered, his eyes were facing the high platform in the east, Emperor Zhongzheng, the current son of heaven in Daqin, was sitting on the dragon throne at the head of the high platform, Queen Yi's mother and concubine had passed away for many years, and Concubine Tong, who raised King Yi, was sick again, so only the queen was seated in the same seat among the concubines, next to the side of Emperor Zhongzheng.

Because it was a family banquet, Emperor Zhongzheng only wore a regular dress with two dragons and pearls embroidered with gold silk on the ink background tonight, looking more than forty years old, his eyebrows were not angry and self-assured, and his spirit was lofty, and there was a kind of majesty and domineering that people did not dare to disobey. The queen is Shen Qingyi's blood aunt, the eyebrows and eyes of the two are somewhat similar at first glance, they are also around forty years old, they are well maintained, and their appearance has not diminished a little because of the years, but they have washed out a luxurious momentum of the mother's world.

There were more than ten princes and princesses sitting in the main hall, Su Wanqing looked around quietly, the princes present were the ones who showed up last night when they were in the cave room, and only one or two of the princesses had a relationship, which was not an acquaintance. Everyone sat on the north and south sides, one person and a few, discussing something, you and I said a word, and it was very lively.

At this time, it was the turn of the Eighth Prince to open his mouth, and his eyebrows flew and danced as if he was talking about it, and he inadvertently brought it somewhere, his eyes lit up instantly, and he patted the case a few times: "Yo, say Cao Cao Cao is here, you guys look who is coming!" ”

When the others heard this, they all followed the Eighth Prince's line of sight.

Almost instantly, all eyes were focused on Su Wanqing.

This night, Su Wanqing wore a plain pink jacket skirt, revealing a snow-white neck, and with the magnolia carved hairpin on her head, she looked particularly fresh.

Even if Su Wanqing narrowed her eyes and followed behind Su Yuanyi and Shen Qingyi step by step, she could still feel the amazing gazes, and in these sights, there was even praise from the emperor.

Of course, she could also feel the displeasure from the queen.

Su Wanqing secretly hooked the corners of her mouth, followed Su Yuanyi to salute the emperor and queen, and the action of kneeling and kowtowing was good.

"Let's be flat." Emperor Zhongzheng's voice was strong, and under the majesty of the Son of Heaven that penetrated deep into his bone marrow, he could faintly hear a little mildness in his tone.

Su Wanqing thanked Su Yuanyi again, got up and sat down next to the designated desk.

The Eighth Prince's eyes were always fixed on Su Wanqing, and he said to the princesses: "What do you think I say, how is Concubine Su?" ”

Su Wanqing smiled politely at the few people who came over in response, and lowered her eyes and was silent.

In all fairness, Su Wanqing thinks that she looks good, but she is not a peerless beauty, and the women in this hall are by no means inferior to her in terms of appearance, even Shen Qingyi's appearance is also extremely outstanding.

It's just that she has successfully left an excellent first impression in front of several princes, and she has grasped their curiosity minds, and let Su Zhao make a move to push her to the forefront and grasp everyone's attention.

And the princess is so golden, that is, she is proud of her identity, and she will not go to the side room of her brother.

Seeing that she was gentle and polite at this moment, several princesses also smiled back and nodded.

The queen followed and looked at the eighth prince, nodded and smiled, "The eighth child's eyesight is indeed good. As he spoke, he glanced at Su Wanqing, and then looked at Emperor Zhongzheng, and the inexplicable smile on the corner of his lips seemed a little ambiguous: "Your Majesty, you can also take a look, this Su Taiwei's daughter is really a beauty embryo, no wonder this makes a few boys unrelenting, and they can't even take care of food when they see real people at this time." ”

Su Wanqing didn't expect that the queen would say such explicit words in public regardless of her identity in order to suppress her, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Emperor Zhongzheng didn't feel that the queen was out of order, and he didn't seem to hear the sound in the words, and smiled: "I gave the fifth person to choose, so naturally it can't be wrong." ”

The queen said casually: "It's good, it's just that there is a lack of a main room in the mansion of the seventh, eighth, and tenth children, and you don't care about it, the emperor." ”

"Where would I forget?" Emperor Zhongzheng didn't know what he thought, paused, and took a sip of tea, "The tenth is still young, let's wait, as for the eighth, I let Si Tianjian's people see it, but it is still suitable for the fifth child." ”

The queen smiled, bowed her head and responded, "If Si Tianjian said so, then there would be no mistake, and the concubine was also afraid of wronging the Su family, in the end, it was the pearl of Su Taiwei's palm, and she felt that she was wronged." ”

"Oh? Is it? Emperor Zhongzheng's hand holding the wine glass paused, and there was a bit of inquiry in his gaze towards Su Wanqing.

Noticing the change in the atmosphere, everyone fell silent.

Su Wanqing got up and was blessed, and said with a slight smile: "Returning to my father, the emperor and the queen mother, it is a great blessing for my son to marry King Yi, I feel the emperor's grace, and I have never felt the slightest grievance." ”

Shen Qingyi on the side glanced at Su Wanqing and let out a disdainful cold snort.

The humming voice was very low, and there was some distance between each couch, and no one else heard this sound except for Su Wanqing and Su Yuanyi. After all, it was in front of the emperor, although Shen Qingyi was unhappy in her heart, she didn't dare to make a mistake.

The queen looked at Su Wanqing meaningfully, and said with a smile: "It seems that the palace is too worried." ”

Emperor Zhongzheng obviously didn't want to dwell on this matter, and seeing that Su Wanqing's answer was quite satisfactory, he also nodded, turned his head and instructed Su Yuanyi: "Old Five, don't treat your concubine badly in the future." ”

Su Yuanyi bowed his head and said, "Erchen understands. ”

"What do you understand?" Emperor Zhongzheng raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head: "You are diligent in court affairs on weekdays, and you can share my worries everywhere, which really makes me very pleased, but you should not be wasted on the heirs, after all, it is the most important thing to start branches and leaves as soon as possible!" Under the words, it was explained for the sake of King Yi's marriage.
