689 Palace Banquet
This palace banquet was even less crowded than the last time.
Wang Yizhen was arranged to sit first, there are not many princesses left in Beijing, in terms of age, Princess Pingyang is the same generation as the Lord of Danyang, and Princess Wu'an is a grandmother's generation, but Wang Yizhen's position is higher than them, in the female guest seat, second only to Princess Renshou, that is to say, Emperor Qisheng is arranged according to her biological bloodline.
The two old princesses of Pingyang and Wu'an had probably heard of her identity a long time ago, and they did not raise any objections to this, but nodded kindly to her. But he just nodded, and didn't say much, first, he was really unfamiliar, second, he came to the palace banquet seriously, and thirdly, he came to ...... Wang Yizhen looked at the past one by one, and he knew in his heart, it seems that he knows that she is going to elect the candidate for the prison today, not only she and the prince, but also does not know whether the news is leaked or the Emperor Qisheng has a heart, today everyone in this hall knows the importance of this banquet, everyone is solemn, always pay attention to the side, a group of people sitting, and the whole hall is silent, this is to participate in the palace banquet, and those who don't know think it is a national funeral.
When a few people are seated, it is Danyang's seat.
It was only when Danyang entered, there was a little noise, and the county lord of Danyang came in with a smile on his face, saluting and saying hello, but he only skipped Wang Yizhen, but Wang Yizhen's identity has not been disclosed at this time, so it's no wonder that she is not surprised.
It's just obvious that the county lord of Danyang didn't ignore Wang Yizhen because her identity was unknown at this time, because she not only didn't say hello when she sat down, but after taking her seat, she also stared at Wang Yizhen viciously, and then smiled, but this smile was completely unkind, and it was a little weird. Wang Yizhen was somewhat taken aback, originally thinking that although the death of the county lord of Yongming had something to do with her, she never thought about how Danyang would treat her well, but she had also caught the murderer for Danyang, so there was always a little incense, but she didn't expect that Danyang was fine before he left Beijing, and after returning to Beijing, he had such an attitude, so Wang Yizhen had to suspect that after killing the Li family, Danyang wouldn't want to start dealing with her again, right? After all, if Jing An hadn't come to intercede, she wouldn't have gone to Li Lanlan and asked for Yongming to be arranged in Nian Yuan, but ...... That's what Yongming himself meant, Jing'an is not here today, otherwise Wang Yizhen would definitely have to talk to her and say, she really can't blame her for this, right?
By the time Danyang arrived at the end of the women's seat, he had already entered the table, and the men's guests from the prince to the king of Yan had already sat down.
Emperor Qisheng then announced on the main seat: "Now that everyone has arrived, let's start eating." "Emperor Qisheng has never talked much, and there were no words to start with at the last palace banquet, and today ...... Wang Yizhen seriously suspected that he would fight at the banquet for a while, so he would eat first and then talk about it.
Although it was said that it began, according to the process, the prince should be the leader, and a group of people would first worship the Holy Emperor.
Therefore, the prince stood up and said a lot of blessings and prayers in a crackling voice, and he didn't know what time he wrote the manuscript last night, and then took his younger brothers to salute Emperor Qisheng. After the prince finished saluting, Princess Renshou led by the female guest got up and toasted the third cup, and held a banquet with three glasses of wine, which is indispensable, so the third cup was replaced by the lord of Danyang, after all, she is the nominal protagonist today.
So Danyang stood up again, said some words of gratitude, and drank a glass of wine with the Holy Emperor of Qiqi one-on-one, and when the wine was finished, Wang Yizhen waited for her to sit down and eat, but Danyang suddenly smiled and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for holding a palace banquet for Danyang this time, Danyang has nothing to repay, this time I went to Liangzhou and brought back a rare thing, which was specially given to Your Majesty, please allow me to offer it." ”
For a while, everyone in the palace went to see her, especially several princes, and their hearts were extremely broken.
At this time, I heard that Danyang County mainly offered a treasure, anyway, others didn't mention it, the prince almost didn't collapse, coughed, and the other princes were full of unhappy expressions, everyone knew that Danyang's aunt was a little less rooted, but this treasure was also too untimely...... Isn't she a person who doesn't have any eyes?
But before Emperor Qisheng said that the matter of supervising the country, the palace banquet was still a palace banquet, and it seemed normal for people to offer a treasure in Danyang, even if she didn't offer a treasure, it was estimated that she would have to eat first after a while, and this kind of thing had to be put on the axis to say, so everyone endured it, and seeing that Emperor Qisheng nodded, Danyang slapped his palms twice, and the two maids she brought from the county lord's mansion walked in.
The so-called family banquet, although it is said that only the royal family is present, but there is always a need for palace maids to pass the food in and out, so it is impossible to make any secret room, called inside, and there are naturally people outside, but these two maidservants came to offer treasures, but they were empty-handed, and did not hold anything in their hands, but they stood in the middle of the field, that is, they did not offer treasures, nor sang and danced, although they did not dare to raise their heads after kneeling, but they did not move, so that people did not know what they were doing when they came in.
Danyang smiled in time: "Your Majesty, the rare thing I am talking about is these two maidservants, and I was also shocked at the beginning...... That's really...... It's like everywhere, why don't you make them look up and see with your own eyes whether it's rare or not? ”
The whole hall was full for a while...... Except for Emperor Qisheng, they almost couldn't collapse, especially the younger ones of Qi Wang Yanwang, Wang Yizhen looked at them and almost vomited blood, and he was quite understanding. In this kind of winning game, it is a waste of time to offer treasures, and he openly adds a little lady to himself, which is not annoying, mainly because no one thought that Danyang would offer beauty at such a time...... Can't you put it off for a day or two?
As far as Wang Yizhen herself wants to vomit blood, the whole country knows who Emperor Qisheng likes, she is really a little afraid, after a while, the two girls looked up, and the two faces were exactly the same as their own mothers, if so, she would never enter the harem again. But in the end, after many years of crawling at the bottom, her expression can still manage itself.
These two women must look very much like Xiao Wan'er, Wang Yizhen is not the only one who thinks like this, but not everyone has seen Xiao Wan'er, so even if they know that this is not good, but for a while, everyone's attention was attracted by the two kneeling maids, and they all wanted to see what these two people looked like.
Hearing Emperor Qisheng say "yes", one of the women raised her head.
It's a pity that this woman looks very ordinary, and she doesn't need to mention that she is beautiful, or even ...... Not young.
The woman looked at a public face, it was really not beautiful, and there was nothing outstanding in her appearance, but she was better than a pair of eyes that were very smart and clear, with a round apple face, two long dimples faintly at the corners of her mouth, and a natural pair of corners of her mouth, and her face did not move and seemed to smile from time to time, although she looked ordinary, but everyone's first reaction was that this woman must be a very smart and clever person, and she must have been a sweet and likable doll when she was young, like a New Year's doll, but at this time this woman is already in her 30s, this kind of pleasing appearance, It's half discounted.
For a while, everyone's eyes were full of disappointment, Xiao Wan'er, who is famous all over the world, shouldn't she look like this? And throwing away the name of Xiao Wan'er, this woman's appearance is really not unusual.
Everyone looked at this middle-aged woman inexplicably, shouldn't this person look like Xiao Wan'er? But just when everyone thought so, Emperor Qisheng suddenly stood up, and all the frightened people stood up with him, otherwise the emperor couldn't stand and sit with them, which made Wang Yizhen's palms tighten and clenched into fists, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.
She naturally knows that this woman is not like Xiao Wan'er, but she is really a little sensitive at the age of 30, just like the age of 17, if the age of 17 can correspond to the mystery of Wang Yizhen's life experience, the woman in her 30s ...... Could it be the old maid next to Xiao Wan'er? At the beginning, Yinyue drove away three people, except for Ziyi, and now there are two whose whereabouts are unknown.
So...... Could it be that one of them once knew the whereabouts of Xiao Wan'er's daughter? After being driven away, he went to find the little master...... Even...... If it is really Xiao Wan'er's old maid, then Danyang wants to her, as long as he finds a woman who looks like Xiao Wan'er, 17 or 18 years old, and makes this old maid claim to be Xiao Wan'er's daughter, it is enough to be suspicious. Not to mention anything else, at least looking at the performance of the Qisheng Emperor, he recognized this woman and was excited about it.
Sure enough, Emperor Qisheng stood together, and everyone else understood that although this woman looked ordinary, there must be some reason, that other woman......
Everyone couldn't help but look over, and at this time the other girl also raised her head.
It's really 17 or 18 years old, and it's really beautiful, but ...... For a while, the entire hall was filled with the sound of impulsion.
This girl grows ...... It's not like Xiao Wan'er.
But...... She's like another person......
