Chapter 225: Thoughts and Conversations
The prince's wedding banquet was surrounded by a lively and awkward atmosphere.
Everyone watched the prince happily push the cup and change the lamp with everyone, and everyone could see that the prince had a forced smile on his face.
Faced with this embarrassing situation, the moment the princes and nobles sat down after toasting with the prince, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at other tables.
In everyone's minds, they began to calculate the possibility of other princes ascending to the throne in the future.
The fourth prince is the same age as the crown prince, and his biological mother is a concubine, and her family background can be comparable to that of Empress Zheng.
The Seventh Prince, the smartest of the emperor's many princes, has been praised by the emperor many times, and his biological mother's family background is only slightly inferior to the Zheng family.
The Eighth Prince......
Everyone compared several princes in their hearts, but the eighteen princes were missing.
The eighteen princes were hidden in the banquet.
Just now he took the initiative to raise a glass to the prince to congratulate, but was ignored by the prince.
Zhao Chengji has always been regarded as a dog-legged slave by Zhao Chengzhi.
Especially today, Zhao Chengzhi got married in such an indignant situation, and he still had to force a smile, and when he came to Zhao Chengji, he was too lazy to pretend.
Many people are not surprised by this scene, and even Zhao Chengji himself has an indifferent attitude, as if he is used to it.
He naturally withdrew his toasting hand and drank the wine in one gulp.
Others don't know that he likes such an arrogant Zhao Chengzhi.
Zhao Chengzhi can treat everyone as an enemy, but he will not treat him as an enemy.
On the surface, he looks like a dog next to the prince, but in fact he is a wolf in hibernation.
He could curl up like a dog, waiting for a moment to burst out and kill the other.
The emperor and queen don't come to the wedding banquet?
Hehe, it's just an appetizer, and the best is to come.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chengji poured himself full of wine again, and when he was drinking, his eyes did not forget to fall on the princes and ministers who had their own thoughts.
Men and women sat separately, and Su Nianyun couldn't see the undercurrent surging on the men's seat.
On the women's seat, there are several wives of Empress Zheng's mother's family leading them, but they are not too cold.
Su Nianyun stayed in the banquet was boring, and Princess Qingyang always glared at her from time to time, so she simply excused herself and got up to leave.
"Alas, did you see it, Su Nianyun came by herself......"
As soon as Su Nianyun walked away, the ladies began to whisper.
"That Chen Shaoan is only a person now, and he doesn't have an official position, even if he marries a princess, he is not qualified to appear at the prince's wedding banquet, not to mention that she is just a queen mother's daughter, she herself can appear here, thank God."
The atmosphere of today's wedding banquet is special, and everyone doesn't dare to casually talk about the royal rights and wrongs and cause trouble for their own family, so they can only focus on the most controversial Su Nianyun and get some outlets to vent pressure from her.
"At the beginning, Su Nianyun relied on the Queen Mother's importance to her and insisted on marrying Chen Shaoan, what kind of earth-shattering relationship did I think the two of?"
"It turns out that Chen Shaoan not only has no talent and no official position, but also raised the outer room early, the queen mother is afraid that she will suffer so much dowry, I think the Chen family will squeeze it dry!"
The one who spoke was also a woman who had just been married for a long time, and if she could sit at the same table with the princess and the wife, her husband's family was naturally not simple.
However, her husband is much older than her.
The two are old husbands and young wives, and there is no interest between husband and wife at all.
In addition, when she got married, the whole capital was full of praise for Princess Nianyun for breaking through the cage for true love, which made her too dissatisfied with her life.
These dissatisfactions overflowed from her life, and finally all transferred to Su Nianyun.
So at this time, she tried her best to mock her.
"But it's not, a few days ago, Mrs. Chen opened a beautiful face, and the fat sold all rotted people's faces, which alarmed Jingzhao Mansion, and the Chen family lost a lot of money!"
"Is there such a thing?" Some deep ladies had never heard of this paragraph, so they immediately pulled the person who spoke and asked carefully, "What the hell is going on, let's listen to it in detail!" ”
The daughters of the official family are locked up in the back house all day long, and they are even more gossip than the ordinary people in the market.
"That old lady Chen is really a master with low eyes, she has taken a fancy to the jade agar, but she doesn't want to carefully develop beauty formulas, so she actually engages in some vain things......
couldn't stand everyone's gracious request, and the woman who knew the inside story told everything that happened to the beautiful face.
“…… In the end, the tiger is not an anti-dog, and the jade-faced agar is not something she can imitate casually! ”
"Speaking of jade-faced agar, you look at my face, I just used his things since the opening of jade-faced agar, is it smoother and more tender than before?"
"When you say that, it's true, you look at me too, I've always used that set of gold."
"It's just that only ten sets have been launched this month, which is not enough for me at all, and I have to compete with others for ......"
"And their new rouge, after applying it, their faces instantly became ruddy and natural."
Whether it is in the palace or the mansion of the rich, everyone now knows that jade-faced agar is easy to use.
As he spoke, everyone became more than who bought jade-faced agar.
This is not to blame them for going off topic, loving beauty is a woman's nature.
Moreover, it is indeed the easy use of jade-faced agar that makes everyone so eager to do so.
I think that when the peach blossom noodles were at their peak, there was no such high degree of discussion.
Qingyang, who has always been short-tempered, rarely sits silently on the seat without making trouble.
Originally, she wanted to listen to these people criticize Su Nianyun more and relieve her boredom, but she didn't want to, listening to it became their beauty exchange meeting.
She wanted to get them to change the subject, but she couldn't say anything.
Today, the queen mother deliberately instructed her to restrain her temper and talk as little as possible, and not to cause trouble for the prince's brother.
She could see the situation in the palace, and after this battle, the prestige of the queen mother was not as good as before.
Qingyang realized the crisis, she couldn't help her mother, so she could only suppress herself as much as possible.
Especially the annoying Shunyang has been confined, and this is the moment when she makes her mother feel comfortable.
With the queen mother's instructions, although she did not want to listen to these women, she still forced herself to sit here and continue to listen.
Su Nianyun originally went out to take a breath, but when she came back, she heard everyone talking about herself, and she didn't want to disturb Yaxing, who was using herself as a talking point, so she raised her feet and left.
"Chunhua, can we leave early?" Su Nianyun sat in an empty small pavilion separated from the banquet by a wall and asked.
If you continue to stay here, you might as well go home and spend time with Jing'er.
Chunhua shook her head, "Princess, you can bear with it any longer, it's already in the second half of the banquet." ”
"Besides, no one else has left in advance yet, let's leave at this time, unbehaving is secondary, and it is easier to attract the attention of the prince."
"You're right," Su Nianyun shook his head, "Then I'll wait a little longer." ”
Wait until there are ten or eight of them to go, and leave between them so that it is not so conspicuous.
It takes a lot of courage to be the first to leave the table, and if you annoy the prince, you will be retaliated.
Zhao Chengzhi is not a broad-minded person.
After all, there is still some time before he loses power, and it is not cost-effective to offend him at this time.
At this time, Chunhua stopped a little maid passing by.
"Princess Nianyun has just been greedy for a few more cups during the banquet, this will take a break here to sober up and drink, you go and serve the sobering soup."
"Yes." The little maid nodded and hurried down to prepare.
In this way, it can be regarded as an excuse for the princess not to return to the table, so that the princess can rest here more.
Separated by a wall, Su Nianyun listened to the hustle and bustle of silk and bamboo next door, and felt a lot of emotions in her heart.
This is not only the last glory of the Middle Palace and the East Palace, but also the prelude to the decline.
Looking up at the stars in the sky, Su Nianyun tried her best to empty herself, she was still in the sea of suffering, so naturally she didn't have time to sympathize with those who shouldn't be sympathetic.
The starlight in the sky only had time to reach her eyes for a moment, and she was immediately covered by a pitch-black shadow, and a silver mask appeared in her pitch-black pupils.
