Chapter 40: Banquet Conversation

Ying Shu was following the queen and wanted to follow the queen out, but a voice came from the announcement: "Your Majesty is here!" ”

The queen was just about to bow slightly, but she was held by the person wearing a bright yellow robe, and said gently and considerately: "The queen doesn't need to be polite. ”

The queen followed the emperor's hand, and Ying Shu was able to see the emperor's face clearly, only to see that the emperor was only thirty-six or seventeen years old, and his face was also white, except for a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that showed the traces of his age, the rest of the places were very young, revealing the breath of a gentle gentleman everywhere.

The face is resolute and handsome, but it is elegant and gentle, which makes people feel kind.

And such a handsome gene probably came from his biological mother, the Chunxi concubine who shocked the dynasty.

Ying Shu hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "Concubine Wang, meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be blessed with Jin'an, long live!" ”

The emperor smiled at the queen and said gently: "Is the queen summoning the ladies of the family to enter the palace?" This little lady hurry up, today is a festive day, and there is no need to follow these false courtesies. After that, he waved his hand to signal Yingshu to get up.

Ying Shu stood up when she heard this, but her eyes intersected with the emperor's gaze at the moment she got up, and she saw that the emperor's pupils widened unconsciously, and his eyes were stunned, and he looked very shocked. Then it was obvious that the smile on the emperor's lips slowly drove to flatness, and even faintly gritted a mouthful of teeth.

It seems to be the regret of the past, and it seems to be the shock of seeing someone I haven't seen for a long time.

The handsome man instinctively took a step back, staggering, as if the emperor was much older at that moment, his face was still frightened, and he stretched out his hand slightly to point at Ying Shu.

"You ......"

"Your Majesty!" Empress Qian reacted instinctively, stepped forward to help the emperor, and gently eased the atmosphere in the hall, "Your Majesty, but are you tired during the day?" This is the third girl from Wang Ge's hometown, named Yingshu. In the past, Miss Wang was in office with her father in Fuzhou, and His Majesty had never seen her. Your Majesty, take a look, is it very similar to the old Wang Ge? ”

The calmer you are, the more you naturally want to hide some unknown past.

The emperor nodded stupidly: "It's like, it's like, it's very like." ”

Ying Shu stood in place, a little overwhelmed, very puzzled.

She was getting more and more curious about her mother.

It's just that the emperor is the emperor after all, and she won't be trapped in this mood for so long, and she will soon return to normal: "Your Majesty, the banquet is about to begin, let's hurry up." ”

The emperor let out an "um", and there was only the queen in his eyes.

Ying Shu was very embarrassed, why did she smell so much love in just one day in the palace?

On the banquet, not to mention the wealth of the heavenly family, the delicacies of the mountains and seas of one color are more sumptuous than Ruotong's lunch, but Yingshu, a natural foodie, is a little excited, even the Liu family can see that Yingshu is a little absent-minded.

"Sister Shu, the roasted quail in this palace is the most delicious, don't you usually like to eat it? Why do I see that you don't move your chopsticks, but where is your body uncomfortable? ”

Ying Shu smiled reluctantly and shook her head: "Where, where, I'm afraid that eating too much will affect my demeanor." ”

This answer is very wonderful, it is not only reasonable, but also stands on such an excellent starting point as the face of the whole family, and even Wang Ying cast an approving look at Yingshu. Then the husband and wife looked at their daughter Yinghuan, who was outstanding at the banquet opposite, with great pride.

Although this is a banquet prepared for the prince's wedding, Ying Huan is also the bride of the royal family, and she has received special care and attention, and her brilliance is no less than that of the crown princess Ruotong.

The Wang couple are very proud, and the lintel of the Wang family is lucky!

At the banquet, the emperor sat in the middle of the top, flanked by the Empress Dowager Jin and Empress Qian Yourong, and the lower head was Shuqing and Yingxian - in fact, the two concubines did not intend to attend such a grand occasion, but the emperor and the crown prince were filial and repeatedly invited, so they also dressed up and agreed to attend. After that, the next head is the concubine Zhou Ning and other harem concubines, the prince and his wife, the prince and his wife, and other princes and nobles.

Although the Wang family and his wife also attended the palace banquet earlier, but at that time, the royal family was not considered prosperous, and at that time they advocated simplicity, so the heavenly family banquet was only sacred and solemn, not a first-class luxury.

Wang Ying drank a few glasses of wine, and began to talk about his glorious deeds of fighting officialdom back then, and then made a small essay with the title of "Court Change Award for More Than Ten Years", and said a lot to the two Ying, Ying Chang put on a fan idol spirit to look up at Wang Ying, Ying Shu kept grinning and smirking. In the end, Mrs. Wang couldn't look at it, and said with a cold face: "I'm afraid that you have drunk too much, and you will talk drunk!" ”

Wang Ying hurriedly stroked her beard and saluted to Mrs. Wang to admit her mistake.

Then I saw that the queen and Zhou Guifei were praising the crown princess Wang Ruotong in a different way, and occasionally turned the conversation to Ms. Ying Huan, the mother of the princess of Cheng, and Ruotong and Ying Huan were shocked that they couldn't enjoy the banquet properly, so they could only respond to the praise one after another, and said quite modestly: "Where is it." ”

Ying Shu was bored, remembering that Mrs. Wang always said that she was not atmospheric enough, and when others praised her, she would only say "where", "dare not dare", but now it seems that even the future mother of the country will say this, what good words can she come up with as an ordinary woman?

Thinking of this, Ying Shu took a chopstick and fried venison and looked at Mrs. Wang with resentful eyes, and Mrs. Wang thought that Ying Shu had been imprisoned for too long, so she put on a kind and kind look and nodded to signal that Ying Shu could eat more, and then prepared to go home and starve Ying Shu to let her lose weight.

Looking at her granddaughter's increasingly fat face, Mrs. Wang was very worried, and if she continued to eat it, she would really become a fat cat.

Though...... I am not afraid that my granddaughter will not be able to get married, but I have to succumb to the reality that the women of the Xin Dynasty still have to take care of their physical appearance.

Ying Shu drank a little wine, and ate some things, she felt a little up, the hall was a little depressed, she thought about it, and then said to Liu and Mrs. Wang to go out to breathe, Liu instructed: "Go, just don't go blind, don't bump into the nobles." ”

Ying Shu happily responded, and the female officer who led the way took the apricots with her and retreated.

It was already late autumn, although the outside of the hall was breathable, it was inevitably a little cold, Ying Shu gasped, wrapped her body tightly, and prepared to be sober and sober.

"Sister Shu!" A familiar voice came.

can call yourself "Sister Shu", except for Shen Bin, who loves to wear red, who else can there be?

Ying Shu turned her head suddenly, but saw that Shen Bin was still looking at herself with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a smile.

"What? Sister Shu is cold? Want to get out and breathe? Shen Bin smiled very kindly, but in Yingshu's eyes, he felt very annoying.

She didn't want to meet Shen Bin now, naturally because of what happened at noon.

She thought for a moment, bowed slightly, and prepared to turn back to the temple.

"Hey, Sister Shu, don't go!" Shen Bin waved his hand at Ying Shu.

"Damn, does this fool really treat the palace as his home? There's someone around here! ”

Ying Shu unconsciously began to scold Shen Bin in her heart, and the palace maid and Apricot who led the way next to her retreated very interestingly, leaving only Ying Shu and Shen Bin on one side.

Shen Bin slowly approached Yingshu's side, his expression management was very out of control, looking at Lotte, although this hippie smiling face still looked handsome, but Yingshu still felt that it was very inappropriate.

"That...... Shen Gongzi, don't you have to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Shen Bin was stunned: "What? ”

Ying Shu smiled, "Young Master Shen is close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, shouldn't he be accompanied by His Royal Highness more?" ”

Shen Bin's smile gradually froze, but a pair of peach blossom eyes still couldn't stop squeezing his eyebrows, as if he was thinking about something, "You have also heard the rumors in the market?" ”

Ying Shu slandered: "It's not just that I heard it, I believe it!" I also wrote about you guys. ”

His face was very respectful: "Where is it, hasn't Shen Gongzi been the companion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since he was a child, and he is a cousin, so he is naturally close." ”

Probably Ying Shu's face was sincere, and she looked like a little fat cat with her neck crooked, Shen Bin didn't doubt it when she looked at her like this, but her eyes swirled slightly in her sockets, still smiling, and she looked very happy and frivolous.

"Okay." Shen Bin muttered.

This is the benefit of being born, Ying Shu couldn't help but feel envious and jealous, thinking about Shen Bin, as the son of a princess, he can be unscrupulous in this capital, and as a half-concubine of a cabinet elder, he can only live cautiously like this, and the other two people are not very different.

But anyway, this person is not very annoying. Ying Shu didn't care about him and the prince "showing affection", just showing it in front of Ruotong's sister, it was really a bit too much.

She can accept this kind of marriage without love, but she should not dance in front of the real card.

"Shen Gongzi, please forgive me for being abrupt." For the sake of Sister Ruotong, Ying Shu still couldn't help it, and bent down and saluted: "Everyone knows that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are good, this is a good thing, it is enough to have a confidant in life." However, although the palace is Shen Gongzi's uncle's family, it is not Ying Shu's uncle's family. Ying Shuren spoke softly, and she didn't dare to make a mistake in the palace, and it was already a blessing of heaven to be able to enter the palace to visit the crown princess. I don't want to be rude, so I'll go back first. With that, Ying Shu turned around and left, leaving Shen Bin outside the hall.

Shen Bin looked at the figure in the distance, and the corners of his mouth smiled unconsciously, but the autumn wind was cold, so that it couldn't help but sneeze.

"Childe, don't be cold." A sharp voice echoed in Shen Bin's ears.

Shen Bin looked at it, but saw a middle-aged prisoner in a plate-collared shirt looking at him with a smile, "Shen Gongzi, don't catch a cold." ”

Shen Bin responded coldly: "Could it be that I can work Mr. Wang [Note] to come to me?" Mr. Wang, doesn't he have something to do? ”

Although he was smiling on his face, he couldn't wait to cut the person in front of him with a thousand knives, this person was the first favored and trusted inner supervisor by the side of the saint today-Wang Zhen, the former head of the imperial palace.

"Shen Gongzi is smart, the slave maid is looking for the three girls of the Wang family for the queen's mother, and the queen mother saw the three girls of the Wang family going out during the banquet, and she was afraid that the three girls would be unwell, so she ordered the slave and maid to look for it."

Shen Bin didn't think twice: "Miss Wang has already entered, and Mr. doesn't need to see her." ”

[Note]: Sir, a kind of honorific title for internal supervisors in the court of the Ming Dynasty.
