The place where the ministers were invited was called Zichen Palace, and the palace lamps were hung everywhere, and the ministers were almost all in place and seated in an orderly manner. At the banquet, men and women sat separately, and Shen Yanzhi's official rank was the third grade, and he sat with colleagues of similar ranks. Sitting next to him was Lu Weixin, who had not seen each other for many days, and had a lot of gossip.

"I want to ask you, the attic of the Immortal Pavilion was less than a foot that day, why did your leg hurt so badly?" Shen Yanzhi was very curious.

"My second brother, I don't know what's going on, I can't help but look weak, and my body is not as good as mine, who knew that it would be such a kick that day." Lu Weixin stretched his legs with difficulty, wanting to give Shen Yanzhi a demonstration.

"You'd better be honest! Don't move. ”

"Kicked me off! And in front of everyone's eyes, my foot injury is small, and my face is big! What face do I have to go to the Fairy Pavilion in the future! My tall and mighty image in the minds of immortals has collapsed like this! ”

"Maybe the immortals didn't think you were tall and mighty..."

When Lu Weixin heard this, his face was happy: "Is it possible, what she actually likes is my talent?" ”

Shen Yanzhi: "... Then I still like your tall and mighty! ”

Suddenly, Lu Weixin mysteriously approached Shen Yanzhi, "Do you know why there are so many noble girls at this year's banquet?" ”

"Why?"

I saw Lu Weixin's eyes glancing back, which meant the crown prince Song Yin.

"The crown princess is sick and weak, and she has not come out for many years. The prince is twenty-nine this year, lustful and romantic, there are many concubines in the house, but he has never even had an heir, do you think it's strange? ”

"Blame!" Shen Yanzhi nodded in agreement.

"I also heard that it is not for nothing that he has been pregnant in his house over the years, but there is no one who has been born... Before the Thousand Flowers Banquet, the queen mother let out a rumor, saying that she wanted to find a new crown princess in the banquet. Look at it, who is not desperately trying to send the young lady in the house, it won't take a few years, but it will be the mother of the world! ”

"Then the prince is going to retire the crown princess?" Suddenly a hearty male voice was inserted.

"No, no, you think too simply and crudely, how can this royal family have such a scandal. If you find a new candidate, you can take a side concubine first, and when the crown princess kicks her legs in the future, it will be logical, right? ”

"Makes sense."

"Makes sense."

The two of them spoke in unison and nodded thoughtfully. Why does it seem that there is one more person all of a sudden? Shen Yanzhi and Lu tasted Xin and looked at the owner of the voice together.

"Well, the two colleagues are polite. Under the surname Su, a single name is a strong word. It is the newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Su Jin bowed his hand, his face full of spring breeze.

"Courteous and courteous. In the lower Taichang Temple Shaoqing Road taste Xin, this is the Ministry of Servants Shen Yanzhi. "Lu Weixin is usually a person with eight faces, and he has a wide range of friends. He saw that the new Shaoqing of Dali Temple had a good conversation, and his appearance was very much in line with him, and he also had the idea of making friends, and warmly beckoned him to join the group chat.

Although Su Jin was new to the city, he didn't squirm, so the three of them raised their glasses and drank together.

On Rongjin's side, she came to the place where the official's wife came and found a place to sit at random.

In front of the banquet, a two-person high stage was set up, and the sound of silk and bamboo gradually sounded, and the dancers were graceful, dressed coolly, and their faces were covered with half a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes, dancing with the sound of silk and bamboo.

After the dance, Emperor Wei and Empress Yu were late.

"Your Majesty has arrived! The queen has arrived! Concubine Chen's mother has arrived! As the shrill voice of the eunuch sounded, the ministers all knelt down to greet the dignity of the country.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat. At today's banquet, you don't have to be restrained. A slightly old voice came from afar.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Queen Mother Chitose Chitose! God bless the prosperity of the country, the peace of the country, thousands of generations! Everyone said in unison.

Rong Jin took advantage of the effort to get up, and secretly glanced in the direction of Emperor Wei, only to see Emperor Wei sitting upright on the dragon chair, and the slightly older one on the left must be Queen Yu. And on the right, it should be the Chen Concubine Niangniang who has favored the harem in recent years, because of some distances, I can't see the appearance of Concubine Chen, just look at the hazy outline, the style between the gestures, it must be a rare beauty, otherwise why has it been favored for many years.

Suddenly, a burning gaze in front of her right was staring at her. It turned out to be a beauty with delicate facial features, dignified manners, and a degree of advance and retreat, but the beauty's eyes were like quenched cold arrows, and she couldn't wait to "swish" to stab a few holes in her body. Rongjin poured a glass of wine, raised his glass in the direction of the beauty with his right hand, and drank it all. The beauty's original expressionless face suddenly smiled, and in that smile, there were three points of pride and seven points of ill will. She got up suddenly, walked to the next table, and bowed her head to face the concubine, not knowing what she was saying.

The lady sitting next to her saw that the lady suddenly smiled, and then stood up and blessed Emperor Wei, "Congratulations to the emperor, the five princesses are happy!" ”

"I'm going to have the emperor's grandson?" This is the first grandchild of the royal family, and Emperor Wei is overjoyed. "Reward! All rewarded! Concubine has a reward! The five princes and the five princesses are all rewarded! Hahaha! ”

Song Jin stood up, there was no joy on his face, he bowed to Emperor Wei, and his voice was flat: "Thank you, Father." ”

When the ministers heard that the royal family had such a happy event, they hurriedly got up together to congratulate: "Congratulations to the emperor!" Happy to get the emperor's grandson! Heirs flourish! ”

In the lively congratulations of everyone, Rong Jin seemed to have lost his soul, remembering that a month ago, Song Jin also swore to tell her that he did not have a round house. Now in this scene, Rongjin wanted to squeeze out a normal person's smile, but found that she failed. She now finally understood the meaning of Murong Chuxi's smile, which was to demonstrate with her! She secretly clenched her fists, and for a moment, she hated it! Hate Song Jin! Hate everyone who stops them together! Hate herself!

The hustle and bustle is someone else's, and there is only endless pale and desolation in her world. She drank cup after glass until her eyes were hazy. A white and slender hand held down the wine jug, she raised her head with difficulty, and suddenly smiled: "It's you." Why are you here? ”

"I'm looking for you." Shen Yanzhi looked at her coldly, and when he saw that she was sitting staggeringly, he didn't reach out to help.

Rong Jin heard him let out a long sigh, and then beckoned a little Gong'e. "My wife drank too much, and took her to the side hall to rest. Be sure to take care of her! Shen Yanzhi's last few words were particularly heavy.

"Yes." As soon as Xiao Gong Efu was blessed, he half-supported the drunken Rongjin and left the banquet.

I don't know which official's wife happened to see this scene, and sighed: "The little maid in this palace is not ordinary, her strength is really great, and the sprinkler in my house, let alone carrying a drunken person, even the wooden barrel full of water, can't lift it." ”

The person who gossiped with her listened, pursed his lips and smiled, and quipped: "If you are envious, you can ask your family to ask the two to go back, and call you every day." ”

"Don't, the maids in this palace are much better looking than those in their own house, didn't they move a brick and smash it on their feet?" The lady waved her hand repeatedly, causing everyone to laugh.
