In the end, taking into account the family banquet in the evening, Shen Mushi did not make too much of it.

The two of them fought until they were angry, and it was not until Shen Mushi lost his breath that he went to the Baohe Hall with both of them.

The Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet is held in the Bohol Hall every year, and the name Baohe Baohe sounds auspicious.

On the royal table surrounded by precious gold Shu brocade, a nine-street feast was placed. As the name suggests, there are nine major dishes in the Nine Street Feast, and the remaining seventy-two small dishes, a total of eighty-one dishes, taking nine hundred and eighty-one auspicious meanings.

In addition to the imperial table where the emperor sits, the seats of Empress Xiao and the four concubines are placed on the left and right of Emperor Chu Wei one by one, slightly lower by one order to show the respect of the status of the Ninety-Five.

There are eighty-one banquet tables in the palace, all of which are filled with eight major dishes, fifty-eight small dishes, a total of sixty-six dishes, and take the auspiciousness of sixty or six major shuns.

There are two rows of several cases on the left and right next to the banquet of the queen and the four concubines, a total of sixteen seats, which are specially designed for the prince and the princess.

Some of the princes and daughters were younger and were cared for by nurses. Specially arranged to sit at the gate of the Baohe Palace, in case there is an emergency, it is convenient to leave the seat directly.

Because the family banquet is of great significance, Emperor Taizu established rules a long time ago, but on important days such as Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang and Chinese New Year's Eve, except for special circumstances, all royal relatives and nobles must attend the family banquet must not be violated, otherwise it will be dealt with according to the palace rules.

Therefore, whether it is the prince who guards the frontier in a foreign town, or the prince who goes to a different place to inspect the people's situation, every Chinese New Year's Eve will definitely gather together for a feast and drink.

Of course, there are also some people who don't want to go back to the palace at all, and if they don't return to the palace, they will avoid seeing disgusted people, and they don't have to endure their disgust to sit and act with them, let alone intrigue and calculate with each other.

Just like now, the crown prince and the crown princess, who have the most honorable status among the princes, sit in the right seat, and opposite are the eldest prince Shen Yuanan and Princess Qi.

He is the first king since the emperor ascended the throne, and he is also the emperor's first son, although he is not a son-in-law, the identity of the emperor's eldest son is still not to be underestimated.

Therefore, he was the only one in the palace who was qualified to sit opposite Shen Mushi, staring at the pair of unsightly immortal couples opposite him with a gloomy face.

The next seats are arranged in an easy way, in order of age, left and right.

Therefore, the third prince, King Yun, Shen Chuji, and Princess Yun sat diagonally opposite Shen Mushi.

This is the first time Shuangshuang has participated in the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, and she is dressed in a princess official court dress, her hair is combed in a fairy bun, and she wears a glittering crown of the prince to show her extremely noble status.

Because today is a family banquet, Ning Li's makeup for her is very graceful and luxurious, with hibiscus on her face, jade fat and agar, and delicate flowers on her forehead like a Nine Heavens Xuannu, noble and beautiful.

She seemed to be a little nervous, looking at her fingertips with her eyebrows down, avoiding eye contact with Shen Chuji or Shen Yuanan opposite, there was a big vinegar jar sitting next to her, wouldn't it be self-defeating if she didn't be more careful at this time?

But just to say that he is a pig, he was almost dismantled and eaten into his belly, and there are not even bones left, if it weren't for today's important family banquet, he still knows how to measure, otherwise she wouldn't even have the strength to move her fingers today.

Just kidding, if she dares to glance at other men in front of her vinegar king tonight, will she live to see the sun tomorrow?

Therefore, she is too self-aware, and she obediently lowered her head throughout the whole process, did not look at anyone and ignored anyone, and paid attention to the movements of the men around her wholeheartedly.

is different from Shuangshuang's deliberate avoidance, Shen Yuanan and Shen Chuji on the other side have long been stupid.

The two of them pretended to talk to other princes, pretending that nothing was going on, but in fact, they were hiding their eyes that kept drifting towards Shuangshuang.

Since the crown princess really received the rain and dew of the prince, the youthful aura of the former girl has become a little more beautiful.

She sat there silently, without saying a word, like a delicate rose that snatched the attention of all the men present.

Dan's lips are full and beautiful, delicate and delicate, her figure is graceful and exquisite, and her back is as upright as a plum tree even when she sits in a standard position, and it is faintly charming.

However, the beauty didn't raise her eyes, and she couldn't help but see her watery eyes, so she was still shy with a pipa half-covering her face, but it was even more provocative.

Shen Yuanan once treated her lightly in Mei Xuelin in the East Palace, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, every time he sees the delicate princess, he can't control himself, and he thinks about her crazy.

Before inadvertently discovering that the core of the East Palace was somewhat similar to the crown princess, he forcibly took her away from the sixth game.

said that he was a slave in the house, but in fact, he was a girl in his private room, every time he tossed Xin'er to death, he privately insulted her as a stand-in for the crown princess.

If you can't get the crown princess, it's always okay to torture the personal palace maid who once served her.

is different from Shen Yuanan, who is obscene and rude, and Shen Chuji is sad who can't be loved.

His eyes were still full of admiration and enthusiasm, and from the moment he entered the Baohe Palace, his eyes were firmly fixed on her like duct tape and never moved away from her.

Since that day, Jiang Xueyuan used tricks to provoke the two of them in order to hurt Shen Mu, thus completely hurting Shuangshuang, and Shen Chuji regretted it.

Especially when I saw her red single clothes, I felt that something in my heart was shattered by Shen Mushi.

No matter how much she likes Shuangshuang, she will always be the crown princess of Shen Mushi, and her lovesickness is separated by thousands of mountains, and she can only watch from a distance but can no longer get half a step closer.

It's sad, it's sad, it's regretful.......

Shen Mushi looked at the two people opposite coldly, his fists were clenched extremely tightly, and he didn't look shocked on the surface, but in his heart, he had already cut the two of them with a thousand knives, chopped them up and fed them, fried them and shredded their corpses, and gave them millions of ways to die.

But this is not just imagination, once Shen Mushi has murderous intentions towards a person, he will really do what he says, and sooner or later he will get rid of these two people.

glanced sideways at the little person next to her, and saw her small hands nervously grasping her skirt, trembling slightly, thinking that she was extremely disgusted with the two people opposite.

Shen Mushi's heart was sour and soft-hearted, he leaned over and stretched out his hand to cover the back of his hands, and smiled at her:

"Do the right thing, there's nothing to be afraid of. They are condemnable, and you should face them with dignity and break their delusions. ”

When they both raised their heads to Shen Mu in fear, they saw him smile gently, and his tone was as gentle and low as ever:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"I'm not afraid, I'm ashamed. There was so much turmoil before, I don't know what other people will think of me......"

Both of them turned over their palms, and their palms tightly held Shen Mushi's fingers and replied in frustration.

Shen Mushi clasped her fingers tightly, only to find that her hands were cold and wet, and the sticky stains on her palms were full of sweat.

With a slight pain in his heart, he squeezed her palm hard and comforted: "Why care about other people's opinions? All you have to do is care what I think of you. Well? Come, keep your head up and your chest high. ”

Shen Mushi persuaded him with great seriousness, and both of them finally listened.

She mustered up the courage to raise her head slowly, looked at the other side with a solemn expression, her eyes were as cold as possible, and she looked at Shen Yuanan with an expressionless face like Shen Mushi.

What Shen Yuanan couldn't stand the most was that others looked at him expressionlessly, and he didn't have any charm at all.

In particular, Shuangshuang's eyes were extremely sharp, as if he was mocking himself, and he felt very bored for a while, so he had to look away stupidly.

Shen Chuji had been staring at Shen Mushi's movements from beginning to end, and suddenly saw him bow his head and talk to Shuangshuang.

I don't know what he said, Shuangshuang, who was in a bad mood with his head down, suddenly raised his head and showed a sweet smile at Shen Mushi, which was incredibly beautiful in an instant.

His heart was so sour and astringent that he couldn't do it, so he had to force himself to look away.

"Am I right? Their hearts are empty. ”

Shen Mushi didn't let go of the subtle movements of the two, deliberately scorned for a while, and then leaned proudly on his ears and chuckled.

"Hmm."

Both leaned lightly beside him and clenched Shen Mushi's big hands with peace of mind.

Shen Mushi was about to talk to her again, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Emperor Chu Wei, who was dressed in bright yellow, stepping into the palace with Empress Xiao, so he had to purse his mouth and give up.

When everyone in the hall saw the emperor and queen arrive, they hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

The rules in the palace are strict, and the hierarchy is particularly strict, except that the seats cannot sit casually, and even the tone of speech must be neat and uniform, and it is not perfunctory.

The queen was not present, so she knelt down with everyone to say goodbye, and the nurse at the end of the hall held the young prince and princess and shouted in a proper manner:

"XXX respectfully invites the Holy Jin'an, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"XXX respectfully invites the queen mother Jin An, the queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Emperor Chu Wei and Empress Xiao tacitly raised their hands to show their flatness, and then the two sat down separately.

Sitting in the center of the main hall, Emperor Chu Wei's face was not depressed, and he was a little abnormal.

Usually he is happy on this occasion, plus it is Chinese New Year's Eve at the end of the year, and he is even more smiling and talking very well.

Today is different from the past, a pair of tiger eyes quietly swept over the people below, and there was no smile on his face.

Without the emperor's orders, everyone didn't dare to sit down, they lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and they didn't dare to come out.

Emperor Chu Wei's sharp eyes swept back and forth on several princes, and it took a while before he spoke: "Why are you suddenly restrained?" Didn't you just have a good chat? ”

"Son, listen to the teachings of the emperor."

Shen Mu Shigui was the crown prince and was deeply loved by Emperor Chu Wei, and at this time, only he was the most appropriate to answer.

Yes, Shen Mushi didn't think about shaking his hands, and replied with a serious expression.

"Humph! Teachings? If you rebels still had me in their eyes, there would be no such shameful and ugly thing! ”

Emperor Chu Wei sneered.

The Son of Heaven was angry and not angry, and a heavy sense of oppression suddenly filled the hall.

Even the young princes and princesses who were sitting at the end of the feast from a long distance seemed to sense a little wind and rain coming, and they shrank in the arms of the nursing mother and did not dare to mess around.
