With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 100 Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet
"Madam Su, Miss Su." After getting out of the carriage, Yan greeted her with a smile.

Seeing her walking all the way, with a graceful gait, she knew that she was very diligent in learning the rules and etiquette in the past few days.

"Mrs. Shen."

"Aunt Shen."

Cui Shi and Su Junning also greeted her with smiles.

Today, two brothers, Su Yuzhen and Su Yu'an, have a carriage, Su Zhiyi has a carriage alone, and Cui Shi and Su Junning have a carriage.

Their mother and daughter arrived first, so when the first few arrived, they saw Cui Shi and Su Junning talking and laughing with Yan Shi, looking very close.

"Miss, that is General Zhaoyong's wife." Chu Yun helped Su Zhiyi get out of the car, and raised his mouth.

Su Zhiyi looked up, his eyes turned cold.

"At first, he said that he had nothing to do with the Shen family, but now that he has made great contributions, he is now in a hurry to curry favor, and he doesn't mind losing the identity of the Su family."

Shen He was born with a muddy leg, even if he is now a general Zhaoyong of the third rank, he is nothing in front of a hairpin family like the Su family.

So Su Zhiyi felt that Cui was flattering Yan, so he disdained, even disgusted, this kind of behavior.

So she stepped up and stopped Su Yuxuan and Su Yu'an who were about to go to Cui's side.

"Brother, third brother, let's go in first. Mother and fourth younger sister seem to have something to tell Mrs. Shen that we don't know each other well, so it's inconvenient to go over and disturb us."

Her expression and tone were calm, making it difficult for people to see any clues, so Su Yuzhen and Su Yu'an didn't pay attention to it, nodded and followed her into the palace.

From the corner of her eye, Su Junning caught sight of the three brothers and sisters going in first, and also saw Su Zhiyi walking in the front, so she pondered something in her heart.

I can't help but laugh.

Even if the Shen family came from a lower family background, the ancestors of the Su family might not have learned it from ordinary people. This family business has been gradually continued. Counting up, no one of the ancestors is an ordinary person, and Su Zhiyi is not aware of it. What kind of energy.

Besides, to take a step back, the Shen family father and son have just made military exploits, and what they did was to eliminate harm for the people and to be loyal to the court, which is also worthy of admiration and appreciation.

It shouldn't be looked down upon.

There is no pattern at all, no wonder he can be coaxed around by Xiao Lu for so many years.

After complaining about Su Zhiyi in her heart, Su Junning also smiled and reminded the two elders that it's time to go in.

Immediately, the three of them entered the palace together and went to the Zhaixing Building where the banquet was held.

"Ma'am, that seems to be Mrs. Su and Miss Su, and also Mrs. Shen."

On the seat near the front of the family members, Gui Zhi, the maidservant of Duke Rui's wife Xie, whispered in her ear.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie raised her eyes to look at the door, and she saw Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Cui standing together, as if they were looking at where their seats were.

There are a lot of people entering the palace for the banquet today, so the seats are arranged according to their status, and they cannot sit randomly.

Yan's seat was very far back, almost next to the entrance of the main hall. After helping her find a seat, Cui and Su Junning came forward.

Su Yi is a second-rank censor, and he can be regarded as an official in the head of civil servants, so he is naturally in the front of the examination.

After looking at several people for a while, Mrs. Xie looked away.

"How did they get mixed up?"

"Zuo is just the father and son of the Shen family who made contributions and went to Yuzhou with Su Yushi. The Cui family used this to curry favor." Gui Zhi whispered.

Mrs. Xie snorted softly, "It's useless to make meritorious deeds. The bravery of a common man can only be used in this kind of place. Today, in peace, the military officer's career can't be far."

After saying this, she glanced to her side from the corner of her eye, and saw her daughter looking away just now.

"What are you looking at?" Mrs. Xie asked knowingly.

Xu Sini's eyes flickered, "It's nothing, I saw the Su family."

Naturally, Mrs. Xie only half believed this.

Jiang is still hot and old, she couldn't see that there was not only resentment but also jealousy in her daughter's eyes just now.

Resentment is a proper emotion, but jealousy is not.

So Mrs. Xie said as if unintentionally, "It was said earlier that the rumors about Miss Su's family and Mr. Shen's family were nothing, but after looking at it now, it is impossible to say that it is true. The two wives seem to be very close. .”

"Because of their closeness, the rumors cannot be true." Xu Sini retorted subconsciously, "They deal with each other frankly, and they don't deliberately avoid suspicion, which means there is no doubt to avoid."

Mrs. Xie narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at her daughter with a half-smile.

"What's the matter, mother is just talking gossip, but you are very serious."

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Xu Sini quickly adjusted her mood and responded in a low voice.

"My daughter just can't understand Su Junning's seductive appearance and thinks that she shouldn't be loved by others. Besides, the Shen family has a low lintel and the Su family loves their daughter so much, how could she get involved with the Shen family."

"That's right, the lintel of the Shen family is low, and it's impossible for a lady from a decent and wealthy family to fall in love with her." Mrs. Xie followed her words and said something.

And stared at Xu Sini with sharp eyes.

For a moment, Xu Sini felt as if she had been seen through by her mother, so she quickly lowered her head and avoided it.

It was only at this time that she realized that her mother might have known about her liking for Shen Qianwei, so what she just said was a warning and a blow.

"Don't think that there is nothing left. Prepare well. I have discussed with the empress about today's palace banquet. You have to get back on your feet. Otherwise, if you enter the Eastern Palace in the future, you may not be able to gain a foothold."

Xie picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his voice majestic and deep.

Xu Sini was very aware of her mother's strength and power, so she could only nod her head in response.

Not long after, Emperor Jianning brought the empress and all the concubines to the scene.

It could be seen that he was in a good mood, the first thing he did was to smile and toast with the people present.

After sitting down, he took a long breath and spoke in a deep voice.

"The banditry in Fuhuzhai has been infested by the first emperor for more than ten years. The people of Yuzhou are miserable. The commercial roads and canals at the foot of the mountain, as well as the merchant ships and cargo convoys in the past, were often robbed. Now this disaster has finally been completely eradicated. I am so relieved!"

"Father is blessed by the heavens and has blessed all the people. Now that the banditry in Yuzhou has been eliminated, it has even benefited the people. My son respects the father!"

The prince got up and picked up the wine glass.

Emperor Jianning who said this was even more joyful, so he naturally smiled and drank it.

At this time, Empress Xu said, "Your Majesty, today is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, and it is also a time for you to celebrate the victory of the bandit suppression together. Although the wine and food, singing and dancing are good, they will inevitably lose their originality as usual. A way to add to the fun, I don't know if the emperor is willing to listen to it."

It was a happy time, so Emperor Jianning naturally didn't show his face.

"The queen has a clever mind, I would like to hear about it."

Empress Xu pursed her lips and smiled, pretending to be gentle and considerate.

"The concubine's mind is so ingenious. It's just trying to make the emperor happy. This method is also simple. The ladies are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the gentleman's six arts are on etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics. They must be present. The princes and ladies here all know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, why don't you all learn from each other and let the emperor decide the first prize, so we can make a fuss on this full moon night."
