The rebirth of the first daughter to chase after the husband

Chapter 13 Banquet in the Palace
"Princess Natuya has arrived~"

The eunuch's sharp voice resounded throughout the palace, and as the eunuch's voice fell, Na Tuya appeared in front of everyone with her maid.

"Natuya in the grassland, I have met His Majesty the Emperor of the Western Kingdom."

She put her right hand on her chest, and bowed her head to see Meng Tang who was sitting on the dragon chair overlooking everyone.

"There is no need to be too polite. The person who comes is the guest, and I will give you a seat."

Meng Tang raised his right hand lightly, allowing Natuya to stand up.

Natuya walked to her place with a smile, and happened to be between Meng Wanzhou and Gu Shaoyu.

Lu Chaoyan, who didn't know about the court affairs, did not attend the banquet, only his father, the prime minister Lu Chuan, came to the banquet.

"The princes and ladies of all the ministers have come to the banquet, why don't you see the young master of Xiangye's family?" Gu Rong, the general of Zhenguo, mentioned it casually on the surface, but his tone was full of sarcasm and provocation.

Gu Shaoyu immediately looked at his father on the right, and said rather dissatisfied: "Father, you know that the young master is not interested in these things, so why would you come to the banquet?"

What I'm afraid of is my father at this time, so I'm arguing endlessly with Lu Chuan because of this. After all, the role today is Princess Natuya.

Gu Rong smiled, and his strong voice floated over the entire banquet, "I just think that since the princess is here to make a marriage, any unmarried son in our country will have a chance."

Meng Tang seemed to have seized the opportunity, staring at the cunning face, showing an approachable smile, and said, "Prime Minister, why is that?"

"Back to the emperor..."

Lu Chuan was about to open his mouth to excuse his son, but unexpectedly, Gu Shaoyu said to Meng Tang stupidly: "Back to the emperor, this young master also has a girl he likes, so he won't participate in this kind of event."

"Oh?" Meng Tang and the ministers on the stage were all guessing whose daughter was able to win the eyes of the young master of Gongsun's mansion.

"Lu Aiqing, I don't know which minister's daughter this daughter is from?"

Naturally, Meng Tang was most concerned about this issue. Lu Chuan had a lot of influence in the court. If he was with the daughter of Shang Shulang from the Ministry of War and Ministry of Industry, it would be a big threat to him and he needed to be killed as soon as possible.

"It's Miss Shen!" Gu Shaoyu blurted out impatiently.

The ministers began to talk and whisper.

"There are many daughters surnamed Shen in the capital. I don't know which one is the young general talking about?"

Minister Xue Xiao raised his head and asked.

Gu Shaoyu was full of pride. After all, this was his good brother, and he said to everyone, "Who else is it, Shen Binghe, the richest man in the capital, the daughter of Mr. Shen's family."

What he didn't know was that once these words came out, everyone present would panic, even Lu Chuan himself was no exception.

He was so frightened that his palms were sweating. If Meng Tang took this matter seriously, he would definitely suppress himself everywhere in the court to prevent his power from gradually growing and might disturb him.

In order to prevent Meng Tang from having this idea, Lu Chuan immediately got up and said, "Young General, you are joking. My Yan'er has never had any contact with the daughter of the Shen family. How could such an unnecessary thing happen?"

But Meng Wanzhou, who was watching the play at the side, didn't think so, he sneered, and said: "Yesterday, my king went to the Shen family's cloth village, but happened to meet the young master and the Shen family's daughter going to the cloth village together." After a pause, Turning his gaze to Lu Chuan, he continued, "I don't know if the prime minister knows about this?"

He took all the cloth back, but he didn't believe that he didn't admit it.

"It's true." Lu Chuan had long thought that Meng Wanzhou would use this to trouble him at the banquet, but fortunately he had thought of a countermeasure in advance, "It's just that the Shen family turned to the Gongsun Mansion for help. The cloth that comes here will be given to the Gongsun Mansion."

"Yesterday, my wife was unwell, so I let Yan'er go. Only then did the King of Nanyang see the scene. Besides, the Shen family has a great career. How could he look up to the unlearned and incompetent Lord of the Gongsun Mansion? I feel that the daughter of the Shen Mansion Not only is she of noble status, but she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she is the most suitable candidate to become a crown princess."

These words made Meng Tang's eyes brighten. If the financial resources of the Shen family were in the hands of his son, wouldn't it be his own?
I need to find a prince who is completely under my control to get acquainted with Shen Lili.

What's more, the candidate for the crown princess must be a woman from the Western Kingdom, which just gave Na Tuya a reminder, and this reminder was the intention of the ministers, and had nothing to do with him as the emperor.

Lu Chuan naturally thought of this, so he said so.

As long as the threat to Lu Chaoyan can be reduced, it doesn't matter if these problems are thrown on him.

Na Tuya felt that this Lu Chuan was not simple, and when he first came here, he gave himself a big blow. It seems that the position of the princess is really worrying.

At this time, a minister suddenly spoke, which made the atmosphere of the audience awkward again.

Taking advantage of Meng Tang's reassurance, Wang Qun suddenly said: "The candidate for the crown prince has not been decided yet, so it's not appropriate for everyone to start preliminarily selecting the crown princess?"

He still didn't forget to smile at Meng Tang. Meng Tang could only clenched his fists and greeted him with a smile. This Wang Qun's official position in the court was negligible, but he had a distant relative who was a general of the Yuan Kingdom. Can not be messed with.Therefore, Wang Qun was unscrupulous in the court, and Meng Tang was helpless.

"To entertain the princess who came from afar today, what is the purpose of Lord Wang bringing this up?"

"The empress is here!" Su Shanshan came here in a hurry because she expected Wang Qun to make trouble.

"Your Majesty welcomes the empress."

Seeing Su Shanshan coming, Meng Tang reached out to take her with a smile on his face.

It is obvious that Wang Qun is afraid of Susan. Meng Tang may be concerned about the power behind him, but Susan is not.

Her father was a frontier general, and her cousin was quite powerful in the Jianghu. With Su Shanshan by her side, Meng Tang would be more secure.

"I dare not." Wang Qun bowed his head to express his apology.

In front of so many ministers, Su Shanshan didn't care about Wang Qun's feelings and the emperor's face, so she said, "Let's get started."

She brought a group of dancers to perform, and asked someone to prepare desserts, which were delivered to the tables of the adults.

"My concubine really has a heart." Meng Tang stroked Susan Shan's hand, and Susan smiled all over her face, "You don't have to be restrained, just enjoy yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Meng Wanzhou was a little annoyed, he didn't achieve his goal, and asked Lu Chuan to mention something he didn't want to mention, so he raised his glass and took a sip.

All of this was seen by Gu Shaoyu, and Gu Shaoyu was satisfied when he saw that he was not going his way.

How could Gu Rong, as a father, not know this little thought of his own son?

I just feel that my son has made some progress, but he has shortcomings.

After Su Shanshan came to the banquet, the scene became lively and polite. Na Tuya couldn't help but lamented that the Queen of the West had such courage at such a young age, and the courage to overwhelm all the ministers.

"Mother, how is your daughter's embroidery?"

Shen Lili handed the plum blossom handkerchief embroidered by herself to Mrs. Shen to check the results.

"Well, the embroidery is not bad, it has improved." Mrs. Shen looked at the handkerchief a few times, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

Hearing her mother's praise, Shen Lili blushed, her shy expression arousing joy.
