……

When Emperor Deqing appeared, he was smiling and quite easy-going, and when he saw everyone saluting, he smiled and waved his hand and said: "You are all close to me, and today's palace banquet is just a temporary intention of me, and it is not an informal occasion. ”

Hearing Emperor Deqing's words, Zhao Junchen and the others all got up.

Between getting up, Zhao Junchen raised his eyes and peeked towards the imperial concubine Wan Shi beside Emperor Deqing.

As the favorite concubine of Emperor Deqing's harem, the biological mother of the crown prince Zhu Heyu and the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, the imperial concubine Wan is definitely a crucial figure.

Today, the imperial concubine Wan is more than forty years old, but she is well maintained, she looks like she is only in her early thirties, with a plump body, fair skin, beautiful eyebrows and apricot eyes, and distinct facial features.

It's just that a pair of upturned eyebrows will give people a sense of decisiveness and assertiveness.

"This is the imperial concubine Wan's ......" Zhao Junchen thought secretly: "I heard that this imperial concubine has very means, has always been the most favored, and also gave birth to two princes and two princesses, and her status in the harem is still above the queen...... In contrast, even Chen Zhirong lacks some mature charm, and I am afraid it will take a few more years to be able to compare with her......"

And just when Zhao Junchen was secretly looking at the imperial concubine Wan, the eyes of the imperial concubine Wan were wandering at this time, and she was also looking at herself, her eyes were full of exploration.

Zhao Junchen naturally didn't dare to look at the imperial concubine, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Seeing Zhao Junchen look away. Imperial Concubine Wan frowned, and a trace of hostility and disdain flashed in her expression, but then she restored her original style, and walked towards the throne with Emperor Deqing.

However, the expression of the imperial concubine Wan changed. Although Zhao Junchen didn't see it with his own eyes, he also knew in his heart that the imperial concubine Wan definitely didn't have any good impression of him.

After all, she is the biological mother of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, and Zhao Junchen is the "political enemy" of the prince Zhu and Yu.

…………

However, it was said that Emperor Deqing led the imperial concubine Wan to the throne and raised his hand to press down. smiled: "Everyone sit down, just treat it as a family banquet, don't be too restrained." ”

While speaking, Emperor Deqing and the imperial concubine Wan sat down first.

And as everyone sat down one by one, Emperor Deqing looked around the hall and first greeted the physical condition of Cui Mian, the old man in the front cabinet. Then he said two words of homely gossip with Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, and then talked a few words about Jiangnan Fengyue with Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, and finally set his eyes on Zhao Junchen.

"Junchen, Junchen, in this hall, only the table you are at is empty, and even I feel embarrassed for you! Someone else came to the palace banquet. They are all with their families, just close to their children and nephews, and they each bring several of them, but you are still lonely and alone! Emperor Deqing shook his head and sighed.

Zhao Junchen smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you also know that the minister is indeed alone in this capital, and he is helpless to be alone. What's more, Cui Gelao, Governor Su and Jing Guogong are all highly respected. Taking his sons and nephews into the palace to increase his knowledge can be regarded as taking the opportunity to bring his juniors, but the minister can't bring a group of irrelevant people into the palace to increase his knowledge, right? ”

Emperor Deqing shook his head and said, "At your age, even if your clan is not in the capital, you should always have a wife by your side." But where is your wife? …… I also know that you are busy with court affairs all day long, and you have no chance to meet the woman you like on weekdays, and you are also arrogant, and you are even more reluctant to marry a strange woman to enter the door, but you can't keep delaying...... If you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry for you! Ay! ”

At this moment, the imperial concubine Wan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao does not have the opportunity to contact his favorite woman on weekdays, but today's palace banquet is not a good opportunity?" I see that Cui Ge Lao, Governor Su, and Jing Guogong all brought some juniors into the palace, and there are also a few women of appropriate age, and they and Lord Zhao can also be regarded as a good match, why don't you take the opportunity to match the two? ”

Today's palace banquet, everyone tacitly knows that it is a blind date banquet held by Emperor Deqing for Zhao Junchen, but this statement will inevitably cause criticism from the government and the opposition, so it is hidden from people and held in the name of the palace banquet.

Now, the words of Emperor Deqing and the imperial concubine Wan are undoubtedly acting, taking the opportunity to pierce this layer of window paper, so that Zhao Junchen's "blind date plan" can go on smoothly.

At this time, hearing the "reminder" of the imperial concubine Wan, Emperor Deqing looked suddenly enlightened, stroked his palms and said: "The imperial concubine is still smart, today's palace banquet is indeed a good opportunity!" Cui Ge Lao, Governor Su, Jing Guogong, among these sons and nephews brought into the palace by the three of you, are there any women of appropriate age who have not yet been allowed to be married? If so, why not take the opportunity to introduce it to Zhao Shangshu? …… Zhao Shangshu is young, promising, promising, handsome, talented, and deeply favored, if he can marry him, it will also be a great joy. ”

Emperor Deqing made many detours, and now that he finally talked about the topic, Su Changyi couldn't wait to get up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a daughter, named Su Xiuning, who has just turned seventeen, and her appearance is excellent, and now she has not yet been married." If Lord Zhao takes a fancy to the little girl, the old minister is willing to marry the little girl to Lord Zhao to promote a good relationship! ”

As Su Changyi's words fell, Chen You also got up and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Chen Zhirong, the youngest daughter of the minister, is also seventeen years old, and she is now at the right age, and she has not yet been married, if Zhao Shangshu is willing, the minister is also willing to marry Zhao Shangshu." ”

Emperor Deqing nodded with a smile, and then turned his gaze to Cui Mian, the old man in the front cabinet.

At this time, Cui Mian's expression seemed to be forced to swallow a large piece of stinky meat, frowning tightly, his face was full of reluctance, but he still reluctantly replied: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a granddaughter, and now Yingying is eight years old, and she has not yet been married to others......"

However, halfway through the conversation, he couldn't say any more.

Meanwhile. With the successive reports of Su Changyi, Chen You, and Cui Mian, Su Xiuning, Chen Zhirong, and Cui Qianxue also came together and saluted Emperor Deqing.

Emperor Deqing glanced at the three daughters a few times, and stopped at Chen Zhirong for a moment. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled: "They are all good girls, and they are all worthy of Zhao Aiqing, but ...... Zhao Aiqing is now a member of the second rank of the court, and his identity is extraordinary, if he doesn't know his own thoughts. I can't call the shots...... In this way, I thought of a way, Miss Su, Miss Chen, Miss Cui, the three of you can move to Zhao Aiqing's table and sit down? also took the opportunity to talk with Zhao Aiqing to see if each other's personalities matched, if they liked each other. I can marry myself! ”

After a pause, he seemed to feel that he was a little unruly in doing so, and Emperor Deqing added: "Speaking of which, although this talk about marriage is mainly the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, if both men and women are willing, it is undoubtedly the best result." In the future, it is not a beautiful thing to be accompanied by a lifetime and more harmonious husband and wife. ”

The imperial concubine Wan also helped: "Yes, in this way, there will not be an empty piece next to Zhao Shangshu, which makes His Majesty look awkward." ”

Emperor Deqing laughed and said, "That's exactly the truth. ”

Emperor Deqing's words, although they were an inquiry, but as the emperor's honor, who dared to go against his will?

So. After hearing Emperor Deqing's words, Su Changyi, Chen You and Cui Mian, either willingly or forcedly, all received the decree in unison, and then signaled to Su Xiuning, Chen Zhirong, and Cui Qianxue. Go and sit next to Zhao Junchen.

…………

"Emperor Deqing spared no effort to give me a blind date, and he actually did such an unruly thing......"

Thinking like this in his heart, but for Emperor Deqing's kindness, Zhao Junchen couldn't refuse, so he had to get up and salute, first thanking Emperor Deqing and the imperial concubine Wan, and then thanking Cui Mian, Chen You, and Su Changzhen.

After saluting, Zhao Junchen did not sit down, but just waited for the arrival of Su Xiuning, Chen Zhirong and Cui Qianxue.

Among them, the seat of Chen You's family is closest to Zhao Junchen, and Chen Zhirong was also the first to come to Zhao Junchen's side.

Then, as if shy and active, Chen Zhirong's face was slightly red, standing on Zhao Junchen's right hand, within reach of each other, and vaguely Zhao Junchen could smell a faint woman's body fragrance, which meant that in today's palace banquet, Chen Zhirong was going to sit next to Zhao Junchen.

Cui Mian's family was originally sitting on the left side of the main hall, diagonally opposite Zhao Junchen's position, the farthest away, but after seeing Chen Zhirong occupy Zhao Junchen's right-hand position, Cui Qianxue raised her eyebrows slightly, subconsciously quickened her pace, caught up in front of Su Xiuning, and seized Zhao Junchen's left-hand position.

In this way, when Su Xiuning came to Zhao Junchen's table, she could only sit in the corner of Cui Qianxue across the table.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, Chen You remained silent, Cui Mian was angry, and Su Changzhen shook his head again and again.

When the three girls came, Zhao Junchen smiled faintly: "Three girls, let's sit down." ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, because it was the time when everyone was in the limelight, the three girls all looked well-behaved and decent, nodded slightly, and sat down with Zhao Junchen.

Seeing Zhao Junchen sitting down, Emperor Deqing smiled and said: "Well, in this way, Zhao Aiqing's table is no longer empty, and it no longer looks as awkward as before." ”

After speaking, Emperor Deqing glanced up at the sky outside the hall, and instructed Zhang Xiu, the eunuch beside him: "The time has come, order to go down and have a banquet!" ”

The eunuch Zhang Xiu took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has a purpose~!" It's time for the feast~! ”

With the shout of the eunuch Zhang Xiu, the palace maids and eunuchs who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time all entered with delicious food, and then put all kinds of dishes on everyone's table.

In the main hall, it suddenly became lively.

At the same time, Zhao Junchen and the three girls sat at the same table, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward.

Facing the three daughters with very different personalities, Zhao Junchen didn't know how to speak for a while.

Seeing that Zhao Junchen didn't plan to speak, Chen Zhirong smiled, staring at Zhao Junchen's face with a pair of beautiful eyes, and was about to say something.

However, before Chen Zhirong could speak, Cui Qianxue on the other side was already glaring at Zhao Junchen fiercely with a pair of bright and clear big eyes, and asked angrily: "You are Zhao Junchen!?" ”

There is no doubt that this is nonsense.

However, this nonsense also successfully broke the embarrassment at the table.
