Chapter 522 The Palace Banquet in the East Palace

After the young couple Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng discussed for a while, they put the matter of General Zheng aside.Shangguan Jing was indeed very skeptical. General Zheng, the infantry commander who used to be the royal internal guard, was the one who leaked the secret of Xiao Jingheng's life experience, but he didn't find out anyway, and all the conclusions were just guesswork.

On the third day of the lunar new year, the Chongzheng Palace was decorated again, the gates of the East Palace were opened wide, and the young and promising descendants of the honorable families in Beijing went to the East Palace to have a banquet one after another.

As the emperor's only son and the sole heir to the throne, Xiao Jingheng, the crown prince, is not as cautious as other crown princes.After all, no matter how much he struggled, it would be difficult to arouse the emperor's suspicion and fear.

Be suspicious, the emperor only has such a son.The emperor even encouraged him to make friends with young aristocratic sons in Beijing and China in an aboveboard manner.

Therefore, the palace banquet in the East Palace on the third day of the new year was very large and lively, and almost all the children of the aristocratic families attended, Su Chaoyun and Su Qingyun brothers came from the Su family, and Shangguan Mufeng and Shangguan Muyun from the Marquis of Wuding's residence also came. , the Lin family had only one son, so Lin Sixing went to the banquet alone, and at Prime Minister Chen's mansion, three of Prime Minister Chen's six grandsons came, including Chen Qiyu.

Of course, among the group of young talents from aristocratic families, Su Chaoyun can be regarded as outstanding. Many young people who came to the East Palace for dinner today have just entered the official position, and some of them are just preparing to participate in this year's banquet. The imperial examination, has not yet entered the official.

Many of them have never met the prince, let alone the legendary stupid and rude shrew princess Shangguanjing.

Lin Sixing arrived at the East Palace early, and while greeting Chen Qiyu, he waited for the arrival of the banquet host.He comes from a high family background, and his official position is not low, so his seat is naturally very high.

The brothers of the Su family also fell early, and Shangguan Yuan followed her husband into the Chongzheng Hall and looked around.

There are also quite a few female relatives who came to the banquet today, and basically those who are married will not miss the opportunity to bring their wives.As soon as Shangguan Yuan entered the door, he saw several familiar young ladies, and immediately went over to say hello with a smile on his face.

Shangguan Yuan also saw Prime Minister Chen's eldest granddaughter, Mrs. Cao, who was very close to Shangguan Luan in the past.

Speaking of which, when everyone was in their boudoirs, Mrs. Cao had frequent contacts with Shangguan Luan, so she was naturally familiar with Shangguan Yuan.But now when she saw Shangguan Yuan enter the door, she turned her eyes slightly and turned a blind eye, as if seeing a stranger.

But Mrs. Cao's husband was the opposite. When he saw the Su family brothers coming in, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically and exchanged greetings with the Su family brothers.

Before the banquet, the crown prince and princess concubine arrived hand in hand, and the huge Chongzheng Hall was suddenly silent.Many people stared blankly at the beauties in palace costumes who came hand in hand with the prince, forgetting what they were doing before.

Many young people who saw Shangguanjing for the first time couldn't help but wonder, is this the rumored princess with a temper? ?It was rumored that she was rude and stupid, but no one said that she was so beautiful!
For some reason, many young talents present suddenly had a little understanding of the legendary prince who was very guilty of guilt.Whoever marries such a beautiful wife wants to follow her in everything, right? !As long as she is happy, she can do anything, so what about fear? !

Lin Sixing also stared blankly at Shangguan Jing who was walking beside Xiao Jingheng.The last time I saw her was Princess Yi'an's wedding, it wasn't that long ago, but Lin Sixing always felt that he hadn't seen Shangguan Jing for a long time.

Maybe it was his illusion, he always felt that every time he saw Shangguan Jing, she would look more beautiful than before.

While Lin Sixing looked at Shangguan Jing, he also carefully concealed the longing and affection in his eyes. When the prince and princess passed by him, the prince glanced in Lin Sixing's direction casually.

And Lin Sixing, with a gentle smile on his face, quickly lowered his head, and bowed respectfully to the prince, his movements were smooth and flawless.Chen Qiyu, who was standing beside him, also made exactly the same movements as him, but when the prince and his wife passed by, Chen Qiyu couldn't help but look up and look at Shangguanjing's back.

As soon as Lin Sixing raised his head, he caught Chen Qiyu's complicated eyes, and his eyes flickered slightly.

It turned out to be the case.

It was not only Lin Sixing who discovered the clue, but Mrs. Cao Shao, who had been paying attention to her younger brother, also saw Chen Qiyu's eyes. Her face suddenly darkened, and there was a hint of anger and resentment in Shangguan Jing's eyes.

Crown Princess Shangguan is really too much!Sending people to her house to force and beat her sister-in-law, forcing her cousin to marry lowly, embarrassing her aunt everywhere in the palace, and even seducing her brother, why doesn't this kind of woman die!
Shangguanjing knew that she was hated by others, but she still couldn't help laughing when she saw Mrs. Cao Shao's eyes.And Xiao Jingheng glanced at Mrs. Cao Shao, and let out a barely audible sneer.

Palace banquets are actually pretty much the same, toasting, serving food, watching music and dancing, it's very boring, but the young talents present don't think it's boring, after all, there is such a beautiful princess, just looking at it can make people happy.

And the young prince and his wife certainly didn't find it boring. They organized this palace banquet to observe and select young people from aristocratic families, to see if there was anyone who was pleasing to the eye and could be picked up by them to work in the East Palace.

After all, there are too few officials from humble backgrounds, and there are not enough people!

There are Xiao Jiujiu in both, so this palace banquet, to a certain extent, can be regarded as a joy for both guests and host.Of course, only to a certain extent.

After all, for Mrs. Cao Shao, seeing Shangguan Jing's face was already enough to make her unhappy. She hardly moved her chopsticks for the delicacies cooked by Donggong Dianshan Chef, and the wine she drank during the toast seemed to be blocked. Her chest is the same, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

"Elder Sister's complexion is not very good." Chen Qiyu, who didn't notice it, looked at the expression of his compatriot sister, and asked in a low voice with great concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Mrs. Cao held her breath, and after holding back for a long time, she replied as calmly as possible: "It's okay."

But her complexion was really pale and ugly, Chen Qiyu was very worried, and couldn't help suggesting: "It's better to let brother-in-law report to the princess and go back earlier. The princess is gentle and kind, and she will definitely not care about it."

Mrs. Cao's anger, which was finally suppressed, was rekindled by the words "gentle and kind" of her bastard brother. With a dark face, she sneered at Chen Qiyu: "Oh... I don't know, you are so confused. This is the point. Grandfather has high hopes for you, so he is really blind."

"My lady!" Mrs. Cao's husband-in-law, Cao Pengju, the son of the state, turned pale with shock: "Be careful! What happened to you today!"

　——Here is the dividing line for Xiao Jingjing to treat guests to dinner——
　　Chen Qiyu was concentrating on licking his face when he was accidentally caught by his elder sister.

　　Mrs. Cao is so angry! !The Crown Princess is an enemy, but her precious brother actually likes the Crown Princess? ?

　　But from Mrs. Cao's point of view, she should be angry hahaha, after all, Xiao Jingjing has done a lot of things against their family.

　　Thanks to Yun Qingqing, Pili Mu, and the whole city who love oo's daily dried fish! !
