Chapter 60: A Banquet in the Palace

Lin Shuran suddenly felt a little depressed in her heart, the marriage she wanted was definitely not like this, if the relationship between them would always exist, she had to change the current status quo, anyway, she didn't hate Xu Junze, so try to cultivate each other's feelings.

She was angry, this was Xu Junze's first feeling, which made him mistakenly think that Lin Shuran was hating the kiss he had just now, before, did the man named Gu Jingcheng also kiss her like this, thinking of this, Xu Junze stood up abruptly and left without looking back.

He was afraid that if he continued to stay, he would hurt her because of the jealousy that suddenly welled up in his heart.

He didn't know at what moment he really took Lin Shuran to heart, maybe it was the first sight of the wedding night, maybe it was the first sight of hearing her protect Xu Minghao and them, maybe it was the beginning of her being kidnapped on the street that day, he couldn't find the source and didn't want to explore it anymore, when he found that her weight in his heart was heavier day by day, he knew that he couldn't let go of his hand, and he didn't want to wait for what he wanted to wait for, even if she had the shadow of another man in her heart, he had to fight for a place.

"Why is he still angry!" After Xu Junze left in a huff, Lin Shuran still felt aggrieved, obviously the person who was "bullied" was her, but he was more aggrieved than her.

Chinese New Year's Eve is the last day of the year, according to the traditions and rules of the Jin Dynasty, the emperor will hold a palace banquet on this day, when the imperial relatives, civil and military officials, family members and envoys of the clan will go to the palace to participate in the banquet and performance, Lin Shuran, as the wife of the great general, naturally also has to go with Xu Junze.

However, today, Zhao Qian, the king of Yue who had been in the fief for many years, wanted to return to Beijing to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet according to the recall, and Xu Junze was responsible for escorting him into the palace, so Lin Shuran entered the palace alone.

The Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet is the last large-scale banquet held by the palace in a year, and it is also the most important banquet, and the invitees will be led by the palace eunuch to the main hall where the banquet will be held, and when the guests arrive, the empress dowager, the emperor, the empress, and the concubines will finally enter the palace.

Lin Shuran didn't go very early, when she was led into the main hall by Gong E, she found that many people had already sat in their places in a regular manner, and the royal banquet would naturally be more solemn and solemn, even if there was a voice, it was just a whisper, and no one was loud and laughing.

In this time and space, men are inferior to women, but all the seats at the banquet are men in front and women in the back, and the left is respected and the right is inferior.

Lin Shuran, as the wife of General Zhengyipin, was also very forward, and she found herself arranged to sit with her mother Wen, sister-in-law Ming, Zhenguo Duchess Yang, Zhenguo Gongshi Concubine Qiu and Lei Yingying.

"Why are you going out so late?" As soon as Lin Shuran sat down, Wen asked with some concern.

"Back to my mother, there are some things at home that have been delayed!" Lin Shuran replied with a smile.

Lei Yingying squeezed her eyes and said, "You don't want to come so early, I don't like this kind of occasion, it's suffocated!" ”

Yang glared at his daughter helplessly, and then seemed to explain to Wen: "This child is spoiled by us, and he can't speak!" ”

Wen smiled back and said, "These two children have been close since childhood, and they know each other better than we do!" ”

"Mrs. Lin, you know me better than my own mother!" Because Lei Yingying has a good relationship with Lin Shuran, she is unnaturally closer to her family.

"You kid, look for a fight!" Yang feigned anger, but his eyes were full of smiles.

The Ming family and the Qiu family at the same table looked at each other and smiled, since the Juju meeting Lin Shuran and the Xu family's stepson saved Lei Haobai, the Lei family has become much closer to the Lin family and the Xu family than to others, and the atmosphere is relaxed and casual.

One after another, the main hall was almost full, and the table had already been placed with wine, delicacies, fragrant tea, and snacks, but Lin Shuran saw that Xu Junze's position in the front row was still empty.

After waiting for about another stick of incense, four men walked in front of the main hall one after the other, the only man was about fifty years old, wearing a purple gold dragon python robe, not angry and self-imposing, his eyes had a fierce momentum, and when he stepped into the threshold of the main hall with steady and powerful steps, everyone's eyes looked at him.

This person is Zhao Qian, the king of Yue, the eldest son of the first emperor and Concubine Su, and the first son of the first emperor, the eldest prince of the Jin Dynasty.

However, when he was fourteen years old, the first emperor named him the king of Yue, divided Qingzhou as his fief, and issued a holy decree that he was not allowed to return to Beijing without the emperor's summons.

The current emperor Zhao You is the youngest son of the first emperor and the concubine of the current empress dowager, he and his brother Zhao Qian are almost 30 years apart, and today will be the first time the two brothers have met.

There were also three young men of the same age who walked in with Zhao Qian, and many people were familiar with two of the men in Chinese clothes, which were Zhao Qian's two sons, the prince Zhao Wei and the second son Zhao Lian, and when the third white-robed man raised his head slightly, many people present showed a ghostly expression and became shocked.

"Gu-Gu Jingcheng!" I don't know who was the first to scream.

"My son-son-" Guo Shi, who came to attend the palace banquet today, also saw the man's face, and even if he fainted, Gu Xiruo on the side was also a little frightened, "Brother? ”

Xiao Chen quickly turned his gaze to Lin Shuran at the first time, but found that her face was very calm, more puzzled than excited, could it be that she had really let go of Gu Jingcheng, and was even indifferent when she saw that face that was exactly the same as Gu Jingcheng now?

Su Wanwan saw that her husband Xiao Chen's eyes were full of worry and concern for Lin Shuran, but she snorted coldly, and there was still some schadenfreude in her heart, now in this situation, Lin Shuran was afraid that she didn't expect it, right?!

She glanced at the white-robed man standing in the main hall again, could it be that he really saw the hell? Who the hell is he?

"What's going on?!" The voice of Zhao Qian, the king of Yue, was very penetrating, and everyone in the hall had not yet figured out what was going on, and everyone didn't know how to answer him, and then a eunuch shouted, the queen mother and the emperor and others had come.

The chaotic scene was immediately forcibly suppressed, and everyone secretly looked at the "Gu Jingcheng" in the hall, but there were also many people looking at Lin Shuran, not knowing whether they wanted to see her jokes or her reactions, but Lin Shuran behaved more and more calmly.

Xu Junze entered the hall with the emperor, and after entering the hall, he quickly glanced in the direction of Lin Shuran, and he seemed to have sensed the chaos in the hall just now, and then glanced at Zhao Qian and the others who had already knelt down to greet the emperor.
