Chapter 148: Concubine Banquet (3)
Since the first few days were for each family to see their children, on the last day, the time to set was naturally decided.
Most of the marriages of the children of the family are inextricably linked with the political situation of the previous dynasty, although there is no clear law that stipulates that the in-laws need to be given to the emperor, but everyone will always tacitly mention a few words to the emperor, so as not to provoke the emperor's jealousy and suspicion.
In this way, when the dinner party arrives on this day, Su Jingyou will also come, as for Concubine Yu, I don't know if she will come in order to avoid Su Zhi, and then say that she is unwell and can't come.
During the day, everyone said something, but it was a little short-lived, and the only thing that was fresh was that when Zheng Yuhua didn't come, everyone talked about the water in Jian'an's Hou Mansion.
It was also uneventful to the dinner.
Because it was the last day of the gathering, the dinner was more solemn than the previous days, and it was not set up in the Gyokuro Garden, but in the Cheng'an Temple.
There are still male and female seats on the seat, but this time Concubine Yu really didn't come, and everyone is staring at the main seat of the female seat.
The lord of the Virgo seat is naturally given to the woman with the highest status among the courtiers.
Among the several former princes in the world, the first four princes, Zhaowang Su Hanrui, did not care about the government for many years, and he was far away from the court, so he could come to such a palace banquet or not.
Su Hanrui prefers poetry and songs, poetry and wine, he doesn't like such a well-behaved occasion, and after the death of Princess Xianzhao, he did not continue the strings, and now he is also a lonely person who wants to come, so why bother to come to increase sadness?
Su Cen, the first seventh prince, King Lu, although he didn't ask about the government, but he was a lively person, but half a year ago, he went to Lin'an Fourteen Prefectures with Princess Lu to play, and he hadn't returned to Beijing yet, so he couldn't catch up with the excitement of the concubine banquet.
As for the first fifteenth prince, the current Sumire King Su Ying. He was only born not long after the death of the first emperor, and now he is only eleven years old, and he has not yet married the princess, even if he does, Su Ying is Su Zhi's younger brother, and it stands to reason that his princess should also be called Shen Luo's sister-in-law, and the rank is naturally under Shen Luo.
And Su Ying didn't come, it is said that he was locked up in the palace by Su Zhi to study in the Dianlin Palace.
Shangyin still has two eldest princesses, but they are both married, and they are low-key, and they have not participated in such occasions for many years.
In this way, the only woman who can sit in this most honorable seat is the regent princess.
In fact, although the regent princess is noble, because Shen Luo comes from Nanrong, where the national strength is mediocre, and because of marriage, she is still a princess of an alien race who was robbed halfway. Su Zhi loves Shen Luo, in the eyes of the people in the palace, robbing relatives is a romantic affair, but after all, it is robbed, in the final analysis, what is the difference between grabbing a thing and something?
It was in this position that should have been completely honorable, and the rest of the people at the banquet seemed to have a lot of contempt.
One is a joke that disdainfully wants to see Shen Luo, and the other is that Shen Luo will fall in the future on the first day of the concubine banquet, and there are many people who have never seen the appearance of this princess, and they want to see it today.
Although Shen Luo has entered the palace many times, and she is not in disguise, but the imperial city is so big, there are many nobles who have never seen her.
Take the six great families as an example, although they have little real power in Beijing, they are first-class nobles, except for the Shen family, they don't hold a shelf on weekdays, and occasionally walk around, and the rest of the families almost don't interact with others.
The palace has its own allocation according to the needs, except for a few juniors, adults will hardly go to Pingde Street to show their faces on the street where civilians are everywhere, plus their lintels are respectful, and there are many doors to rush to court, and there is no need to go to Yulu Garden every day for the marriage of their children.
In this way, Shen Luo showed his face in Yulu Garden a few days ago, and they naturally had never seen it.
regarded himself as a noble status, but the throne of the throne fell into the hands of a foreigner, and at this time, several ladies of the six major families had very good looks, just waiting for Shen Luo to appear, and she had to make a fool of herself.
In the eyes of everyone, Shen Luo appeared with elegant steps.
She wore a gold-threaded luanniao Chaofeng embroidered skirt today, with a pair of purple jade hibiscus earrings hanging from her ears. At first glance, it looks more luxurious, but it is a little less smart, such as, a Heling jade winding silk hairpin, self-saved playful spirit snake bun can be through, and her whole person looks lively and lively.
The crowd didn't say anything for a while.
Probably because she was late, and seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her, Shen Luo looked around at everyone, nodded slightly and pursed her lips and smiled, as if to apologize, but then she ignored everyone's looks and sat down.
When Shen landed on the throne and sat down, the eyes that fell on her did not take their eyes away.
Those who have seen Shen Luo naturally know that in the past, this princess was modest and gentle, and she had always dressed demurely, but today's body is really luxurious and gorgeous.
At first glance, I felt abrupt, but when I looked at it again, I felt that it was just right.
Especially Fang Cai's pursed lips and smiled, it was rare that Concubine Yu was superior, no, she was younger, and she had a certain kind of unstoppable sharpness, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she looked down on all beings.
A princess of an alien race raised in a deep palace has such a bearing?
Naturally, there is, but they don't know that the arrogant and dignified princess regent in front of them is not an alien princess, but the number one killer of the moon mask.
Murderous and ruthless, how can such a person born in blood not be aggressive? How can you not look down on all living beings?
"Princess...", Fran beside him leaned down and called Shen Luo.
Shen Luo looked sideways at Fulan, Xu was facing so many eyes, the expression on Fulan's face was very uncomfortable, she said: "The prince said that he went to say hello to the emperor and came to sit with you in a while." ”
Without waiting for Shen Luo to say anything, the lady sitting next to Shen Luo suddenly spoke: "The princess regent was absent last time, why is it too late this time?" Could it be that the princess is very sick? ”
Asked if it was serious, the person who spoke had no look of concern, not like concern, but as if he was cursing.
Secretly gritting her teeth, Fran had just straightened up at this time, and immediately turned her vigilant gaze to the lady who spoke.
The woman wore a palace satin plain snow silk skirt and a pair of plain silver earrings. The fat powder on her body is not heavy, and her makeup looks deliberately elegant, and she is as gentle as water, but as soon as she speaks, it reveals that her personality is not as elegant and elegant as clothes.
Sensing the gaze of the maid in front of her, the woman frowned: "Why, is the princess regent's girl so ignorant of dignity and humility?" A minion dares to stare at his master like this! ”
The words were full of contempt, Rao is Shen Luo has other important things to do tonight, he doesn't want to make a mistake, he originally had the intention to endure it, but when he heard the disgust in these words, and looked at this person's expression, Shen Luo exhaled a deep breath from his nose, and he couldn't bear it.
