Chapter Ninety-Four: The State Banquet

"Queen Mother, Erchen looks at Chen Jia at a young age, but she is very good, and her bearing is not worse than that of Princess Jiayi back then." Princess Jiayi is the little princess born to the Queen Mother, and after marrying into the Wuji Kingdom as an adult, she is the most beloved little daughter in the Queen Mother's heart, but the Queen Mother wants to see it now but can't see it, and she is always in love.

The Queen Mother looked at Chen Jia's clothes very specially, such clothes looked cute and unconventional with her age, and a kind of aristocratic atmosphere could be faintly seen looming on her body. The gestures are all generous, and they don't look like some pretentious women, and they like it very much. Listening to the queen's words, it felt like Jiayi was back to herself.

"Unexpectedly, Taishi Jiang's granddaughter is such a clever and transparent villain, Chen Jia, you come forward." The Queen Mother looked at Chen Jia with a smile and beckoned to her.

Chen Jia slowly stepped forward and knelt in front of the Queen Mother.

"Good boy, get up!" The Queen Mother smiled and took Chen Jia's hand, took a green jade bracelet from her wrist, and put it on Chen Jia's hand without refusing. Chen Jia's eyes widened in surprise and hurriedly thanked her.

"The queen mother seems to love this child very much, and even gave away her favorite bracelet." The queen quipped.

"When I looked at her, I thought of Jiayi, when Jiayi was so old, she was also so eccentric, Chen Jia, go and sit at your stepmother's place, closer to the mourning family."

"Empress Dowager Xie!"

Chen Jia raised his eyes and saw that Jiang Jingrong and Mrs. Jiang were sitting not far from the Queen Mother. Quickly got up and walked towards them.

Chen Jia sat next to Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang was very satisfied when she saw that Chen Jia was very good, she took Chen Jia's hand cordially and introduced everyone present in a low voice.

"Sorry for fate, the one next to your grandfather is the old man of the Shi family, and the one next to the old man Sun is the old man of the Yang family."

Chen Jia nodded, but didn't see Shi Zunbao, Yang Mingyuan, and Sun Aoting. A few of them must have been unable to attend such a banquet because they didn't have official positions.

She turned her head to look at the good-looking beauties on her side. Quietly asked Mrs. Jiang who they were.

"Next to our beauty is Shi Hailing of the historian. She is the pearl of the applause of the historian, and it is said that she has danced beautifully since she was a child, and a dance can attract butterflies! Next to her were her parents. It is said that she has a twin sister, but unfortunately only Shi Hailing is the only one who brings a state banquet every time. Mrs. Jiang said.

"Why?" Chen Jia asked puzzled.

It is said that the two sisters were separated from each other since childhood, Shi Hailing was raised by his mother, and the twin sisters were fostered by the Shi family in the grandchildren's house and could only visit occasionally. It is said that it was only in the year of the year that he was brought back to the Shi family! Mrs. Jiang said with some regret.

There is such a thing, no wonder Mrs. Sun tried her best to match her with Sun Aoting, and the relationship was that she was a child raised by herself. And even if Sun Aoting was hunted down, he never really hated her much. Chen Jia finally understood.

Chen Jia looked at Shi Hailing, Shi Hailing has clear and innocent eyes like Shi Zunbao, but her facial features are much more delicate than Shi Zunbao, her skin can be broken by blowing, and she is delicate as if she has no pores, no matter how close she looks, she is perfect and impeccable. The women of the Shi family are often expensive as the imperial concubine, but it is definitely not blown, her lovely and pure smile like an elf makes those who have seen her unforgettable, and their eyes can't help but follow her.

"You should know all the people in the Sun family." After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, Chen Jia nodded, Sun Ronghua was wearing a moon-white brocade robe today, embroidered with gold-edged peonies, with her beautiful face, as glamorous as a peony, she was definitely worthy of the beauty of the country, coupled with Mrs. Sun's strict upbringing since childhood, her every move was as elegant as a picture scroll.

"Next to the Sun family is the Yang family, and the white-skinned and blonde is their daughter Yang Zhaoxue." Mrs. Jiang looked at her side regretfully. sighed softly: "It's a pity, our Jiang family didn't give birth to such an outstanding daughter."

Chen Jia is looking at Yang Mingyuan's sister Yang Zhaoxue, she has a refined temperament, her skin is as white as snow, a pair of deep blue eyes, and with that blonde hair, she is like a real version of Barbie.

She hadn't seen enough beauties, but she heard Mrs. Jiang's sigh, and quickly turned her face to face Mrs. Jiang.

"Godmother, is Chen Jia not as good as them, has she disappointed your godmother?" Chen Jia stared at her eyes and pouted, aggrieved. The big watery eyes and super cute appearance amused Mrs. Jiang at once.

"It's my godmother's mistake, every time I saw them before, I always had to sigh that I didn't have a daughter. But today's godmother shouldn't sigh, because today's godmother already has a fate around you. Fate is definitely comparable to them, and will be even better than them in the future. Mrs. Jiang looked at Chen Jia lovingly. A trace of guilt flashed in her heart, "I thought she had something to think about her son." and turned her away. Unexpectedly, she is such an outstanding child, not only the princess is full of praise for her, but even the queen mother who saw her for the first time can't help but give her a heavy gift, this is an honor that the three of them do not have such stunning beauties! ”

"That's pretty much it." Chen Jia smiled with satisfaction. "Hey, who's that sister over there? She looks very bookish and temperamental! ”

Mrs. Jiang followed Chen Jia's line of sight, "It turned out to be Wu Shaobao's daughter Wu Yaqin, her mother, you should have seen her that day, she is the famous number one talented woman in the capital now." Originally, the godmother wanted to match her with Chun'er, but your brother Chun didn't know what to think, and he didn't want to start a family yet. However, the Jiang family has an ancestral precept that children must not be forced to marry. If you have time, you have to help your godmother persuade your brother Chun! ”

"Oh, that's right." Chen Jia thought about it, that Wu Yaqin had a natural aura, full of bookishness, and a faint kind of domineering that women rarely have, so that when men saw it, they couldn't help but have a desire to conquer. Chen Jia thought to herself: "No wonder it is said that the biggest difference between people and people is the brain. Does this girl read a lot of books and has a different temperament? It's really domineering. ”

"The emperor has arrived!" Chu Tianyu walked in slowly from outside the house with square steps. He changed out of his court clothes and put on a bright yellow regular dress, but he was still so extravagant that people didn't dare to look at it directly, and everyone knelt down and worshipped, and the mountain shouted long live. He watched everyone kneel on the ground, walked to his dragon chair, turned around and stood still, and shouted Pingsheng. Everyone stood up and stood next to their seats.

"Today's state banquet is held to welcome the third prince of Jin Anguo to visit our country, and the second is that the city lords of the four main cities have come to the capital. Let's all take a seat. Chu Tianyu also sat down after speaking.

"Emperor Xie!" Everyone sat down in their seats.

"Your Majesty, there is still a while before leaving the table, and it just so happens that Jiang, Shi, Yang, and Sun have all come to their daughters, as well as our first talented girl in the capital, why don't you let these girls come on stage to perform their own programs to help the fun?" Originally, the draft would start soon, but if these girls were going through the draft, once they were defeated, they would lose their hearts, so it was better to let the emperor take a look at the banquet first, if they fancied which one they liked, they would be selected into the palace, and if they didn't fancy it, they could consider giving marriage to other ministers, and everyone would be decent.

"Oh, then listen to the queen mother." The emperor borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and several girls looked at each other. He looked at the emperor again.

"I've heard about the saint and the beauty, but today I saw that it was so." Yelu Chumon on the side muttered quietly.

"Who's going to come first?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Chen Jia looked at the queen mother, and then at the queen, and sure enough, the queen's face was very bad. "Look at it like this, this is not just a banquet, but also the beginning of the draft!" She skimmed the third prince Yelu Chumeng with her spare eyes, only to see that his eyes kept lingering on Shi Hailing and Wu Yaqin.

"He's so bold, this is the woman the emperor wants to choose, how dare he think of it?" Chen Jia was thinking. Suddenly, a pleasant female voice was heard: "The courtiers come first!" ”
