Chapter 54: The Palace Banquet
Chapter 54: The Palace Banquet
On the day that Xue Xianting and his entourage set off, Emperor Zhaoning and hundreds of officials sent them to Xuanhuamen.
Zhao Chengming, the king of Jin, was the leader, Xue Xianting stood on his left back, and the rest of the officials and accompanying guards were separated, listening to Emperor Zhaoning's advice, they knelt down and said goodbye, and went out of Xuanhua Gate and went to the northwest.
And Zhao Ying still didn't see Shen Mingren.
Speaking of this, Zhao Chengyan is also used to her.
When she learned that the Sun family wanted to be promoted to the position of Shuyuan, she only said that she wanted to enter the palace to persuade her, but after being stopped by Zhao Chengyan, she said that she was not worried about Zhao Che, and she was making trouble to enter the palace.
Zhao Chengyan saw that he couldn't stop her, so he simply let her go, so he only sent someone to Shen's house to tell him, and put Shen Mingren's matter back on hold.
After such a delay, it was dragged until the day when Xue Xianting and them left.
During the day, they sent King Jin and Xue Xianting to leave, and at night they set up a palace banquet in the Jiying Palace-
This is a banquet for the Sun family's Jin Shuyuan.
Emperor Zhaoning insisted on going his own way, regardless of the dissuasion of his relatives, and insisted on making a holy decree to promote the throne, and even Empress Feng followed his wishes, and did not even persuade him more, but ordered someone to send a lot of rare things to the Sun palace to congratulate her on her great joy in Jinfeng.
After that, even Zhao Che moved from the Yang Palace to Sun Shuyuan's palace.
These people in the former harem have always been the most observant, and seeing that even Empress Feng has accepted it, who will persuade them again?
So there was this palace feast.
Emperor Zhaoning was willing to be promoted, but Sun Shuyuan couldn't stand it in the end, so he only invited the clan relatives to bring foreign women in.
When it was getting late in the west mountain, the singing and dancing in the Jiying Hall had not yet started.
Zhao Ying followed Zhao Chengyan into the palace early, went to the Queen Mother's palace early to ask for peace, and went to the Jiying Palace together.
Zhao Shu trotted in from the door of the hall with the hem of her long skirt, and Zhao Ying was holding a white porcelain wine glass to her lips.
She was very fast, and rushed to Zhao Ying's table in three or five steps, which startled Zhao Ying, and her hand was beaten, the small wine glass was slightly tilted, and some of the wine spilled, wetting the back of her hand.
She was unhappy in her heart, and looked sideways: "How can you be reckless?" ”
Zhao Shu stuck out her tongue, and she was not afraid of her, and attached it to her ear: "The mother concubine sent me to tell the eldest sister that today's palace banquet was organized by Liu Shuyi and the queen's mother, and she wanted to accompany the eldest sister and couldn't arrive early, so she asked me to accompany the eldest imperial sister." ”
Zhao Ying's mind buzzed, and she was no longer interested in eating and drinking.
"Why is Liu Shuyi?"
Zhao Shu simply knelt beside her: "Mrs. Jiang looks down on my mother and refuses to do it for my mother, and Concubine Kong Shu also said that she can't take care of her illness."
Originally, my mother's concubine was promoted to Shuyuan, and her position was above Liu Shuyi, and it was not her turn to run the palace banquet for my mother's concubine, which my mother begged for her in front of her father. ”
Speaking of these, Zhao Shu was secretly unhappy, her little face collapsed by three points, and her voice was still not high, as if she was afraid that others would hear it: "I haven't seen my father like them much on weekdays, what is there to be proud of, I look down on people plainly." ”
Mrs. Jiang's background is to bring out Empress Feng, and there is nothing incomparable, she has always been the proudest woman in the harem, and it is normal to look down on Sun Shuyuan.
Zhao Shu is still a child in the end, and she is filial, of course she is not happy.
Zhao Ying raised her hand and rubbed it on the top of her head, coaxing a few words, but her mind was not on this.
Zhao Chengyan's position was opposite them, and when he saw the young ladies whispering, he didn't think much about it, but when the corner of his eye swept by, it was Shen Mingren who came slowly with his father at the door of the main hall, his face froze, he squinted and looked at it one more time, and then his eyes turned to Zhao Ying's direction.
Zhao Yingzheng felt it, and at a glance, she was about to wonder, and Zhao Shu pulled her cuffs on the side.
When she was about to look back at the little girl beside her, Shen Mingren's smiling eyes fell into her eyes.
Zhao Ying was stunned, and the white porcelain cup was clenched tightly in the palm of her hand.
She hates Zhao Che, but what she hates the most is Shen Mingren-
Zhao Che wanted to kill her because of her background, because she became the deepest disgust in Zhao Che's heart.
Shen Mingren married her and became a married couple with her, but for the sake of power and the sacred heart, he teamed up with Zhao Che to harm her.
She used to like him like that.
Zhao Shu shuddered, shuddered for no reason, and subconsciously shrank back: "Sister Emperor? ”
The smile in Shen Mingren's eyes gradually faded, his originally warm complexion became a little colder, and his inquiring gaze withdrew from Zhao Ying, followed Shen Dianchen, and went to his seat.
Shen Dianchen's wife is the first emperor's Princess Mingle, but she gave birth to the first child, after Shen Dianchen was mourned for the princess, the first emperor gave him and Lingyang Hou's daughter a marriage, in order to be a royal marriage, although Princess Mingle has been dead for many years, but there is always Shen Dianchen among the clansmen to speak, not to mention that they are still the first assistant of the cabinet.
Today's palace banquet, he is indeed qualified to attend, but he has always gone to the palace banquet, that is, with his family, and only with the girls into the palace, how can there be a reason to bring the family Langjun, isn't it ridiculous!
"Why did Shen Mingren come?"
Zhao Shu listened to her tone, as if she was gritting her teeth and asking, and her neck shrunk: "I haven't had time to say it yet...... It was the imperial grandmother who specially ordered the son of the Shen family to enter the palace for a banquet. ”
Zhao Ying had a headache for a while.
She had a lot to do, and she really didn't think about how to face Shen Mingren, a brute, so she relied on Zhao Chengyan to hurt her and delayed it again and again, but the Queen Mother was obviously dissatisfied with this.
Zhao Ying knew that she must have changed her face just now, and her emotions were exposed in front of others, so that Zhao Shu would be frightened, and Shen Mingren must have seen it.
In this episode, the hall suddenly became stuffy.
You can't drink alcohol, you can't eat snacks, and now you don't even want to see it.
Zhao Yingteng stood up, Zhao Shu was stunned, looked up with a little face, and held the corner of her clothes: "What is the eldest sister going to do?" ”
She lowered her head and waved away Zhao Shu's hand: "I'll go out to breathe, you sit down, I'll be back in a while." ”
She walked out of the hall without looking back, Zhao Chengyan pointed to the small case, and Shen Dianchen's voice on the side became ethereal, as for what he said, he didn't listen to it anymore.
Waiting for Zhao Ying's figure to disappear at the palace gate, his fingertips stopped: "What does Elder Ge think of the eldest princess?" ”
Shen Dianchen was stunned for a moment.
Isn't he talking to His Royal Highness King Yan about the raising of the three princes? How do you get involved with Celestia again?
When he entered the temple......
Shen Dianchen covered his lips and coughed: "The eldest princess is naturally good, but Your Highness, the third prince is ......."
"So you're in a hurry to give your son Princess Shang?"
Zhao Chengyan is not a fool, he can see that Zhao Ying dislikes Shen Mingren in his heart, as for why-hengzhi is not because of Shen Dianchen as she said.
These days, he just doesn't want to see him, and he tells him openly and secretly that it's best to fool the past.
He understood what the queen mother was thinking, but since the little girl was disgusted and refused to declare the reason, this wicked man might as well let him do it.
Zhao Chengyan saw Shen Dianchen's face turn pale, and then looked behind him, where was Shen Mingren's figure, so he sighed: "Did the Queen Mother let you take him into the palace, or did you want him to be Princess Shang?" Is Shen Ge Lao a little too anxious? ”
