Chapter 294
"Want to choose a concubine for Prince Chen?"

Su Junning raised her voice in surprise.

"Prince Chen is not yet 30 years old, it is impossible for the concubine to go first, so he will never marry." Shen Qianwei can accept it.

This can be regarded as a reminder to Su Junning.

That's right, although King Chen lost an arm, he is still healthy, and he is indeed a handsome man, still young, rich and powerful.

After a moment of silence, Su Junning asked again.

"Whose girl did you say you fell in love with?"

"No." Shen Qianwei shook his head, "That's why the empress spoke to the emperor to prepare a flower viewing feast and invite girls of the right age from the families of the ministers of the court to enter the palace.

Upon hearing this, Su Junning couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"I'm picking radishes and cabbage. If I think about it, I'll go to the vegetable garden to have a look."

It's not that she wants to say that it's ugly, it's that she has attended many such banquets, and it feels bad to be judged and screened out as goods.

Of course, some people are willing to take this opportunity to marry into a noble family, so that's another matter.

In short, people have their own ambitions and have different opinions.

Shen Qianwei raised her eyebrows, "In the past, you were also among the radish and cabbage, but now you can just pick it out to see others."

Su Junning was stunned for a second, then immediately came to his senses.

That's right, she is already someone else's cabbage, this time she is watching other cabbage being picked!

Tsk, it still feels good to watch the show.

All of a sudden, I wanted to join in the fun.

Looking at the expression on the girl's face, Shen Qianwei knew what he was thinking, and nodded again in desperation.

"When you go back to the banquet, you can't just watch the show and have fun, stare at the movements of those girls, and take a look at the queen's intentions. My uncle and I feel that this matter may not be that simple."

When his tone became serious, Su Junning put away her playfulness and pondered for a moment.

"Prince Chen is no longer a child, and now he doesn't act like he is willing to listen to the empress. His choice of concubine should probably be to pave the way for the grandson."

Shen Qianwei nodded, apparently also guessing in this direction.

"Anyway, keep an eye on it. I was powerless on that occasion, so I can only make you pay more attention."

"Is it the meaning of the emperor?"

Su Junning asked suddenly.

Shen Qianwei tilted her head, "Why do you say that?"

"If it's not the emperor's intention, what do you and my father want me to do to keep an eye on Prince Chen?" Su Junning calmly played with the teacup in her hand, "King Gongjun is a piece of mud that can't support the wall, and he is no longer among the candidates for the crown prince. It is the young grandson who stands out, as his father, Prince Chen, unless the emperor wants to investigate, he will do nothing wrong."

Although I don't know much about the affairs of the court, but such a problem, if you think about it carefully, you can also detect something strange.

Both the Shen family and the Su family are pure ministers, they only obey the orders of the rightful monarch, and they will not investigate the affairs of King Jin for no reason.

Listening to her analysis, Shen Qianwei shrugged helplessly.

"Since you guessed it, don't ask too much. It's not good for you to know too much about the affairs of the court. There is only one thing. It's better to keep a distance from everyone in the lineage of King Chen. They are not easy to contaminate. "

Su Junning nodded silently and didn't say any more.

However, I already had some guesses about the calculation behind this matter.

Within a few days, she really received a post from the palace, inviting her to the palace to enjoy the flowers.

But there is a little difference from what Shen Qianwei said, the queen's post not only invited ladies from various families, but also invited wives.

In other words, Mrs. Cui will also go with her.

Fang Shi naturally declined because she was pregnant.

For Su Junning, going with her mother is naturally better than fighting alone, but there is one more sad thing before that.

Su Wanyin was leaving, which happened to be the day before the palace banquet.

The two sisters were reluctant to part with each other, and they slept together for the next few days, feeling tired and crooked.

Seeing that the family members were joking, saying that the two sons-in-law would be jealous when they saw it.

Whether Shen Qianwei is jealous or not, Su Junning doesn't know, but Min Zhao keeps a close eye on people, and sent someone to deliver a letter the day before departure, saying that he will go to Lin'an with Su Wanyin.

The letter said that he also had a relative in Lin'an, who was a good friend of his grandmother's when she was in the boudoir, married to Lin'an, and is not in good health now, and he happened to visit the old man for his grandmother.

Everyone's mind was clear, visiting relatives was just an excuse to accompany Su Wanyin.

Of course, whether you see through or not, you are laughing in your heart.

After all, the relationship between the two is good, and that is a good thing.

After sending the person away, Su Junning calmed down and prepared to enter the palace for a banquet.

The next day.

The mother and daughter tidied up quite well, not too ostentatious and not too low-key, hiding in the crowd and entering the palace.

Looking at the fat and thin girls in the imperial garden, Su Junning only sighed that if she had a harem, she must be a fool who couldn't get up.

Looking around in the crowd, he roughly recognized the person by [-]% or [-]%, and waited for the queen to arrive.

Not long after, the queen came here surrounded by several concubines.

Perhaps because her son is gaining power and no one in the harem is competing with her, Su Junning looks at the queen with more charm than before.

The charm of milfs still exists.

Concubine Xian was nowhere to be seen beside her.

After hearing that King Jin was sentenced to death, Emperor Jianning also relegated Concubine Xian to the last-ranked female picker, and now I am afraid that she is not qualified to attend such a banquet.

"Excuse me, everyone, get up." The queen's voice brought her back to her thoughts.

Su Junning stood up following Daliu, and saw the Queen's eyes sweeping lightly around the noble ladies, and stopped briefly in several places.

Sure enough, when everyone dispersed to enjoy the flowers and take a walk, the maid beside the queen called several ladies to talk in the pavilion where she was sitting.

Just worried that it would be inconvenient to observe with her, a court lady came to her and Mrs. Cui.

"Mrs. Su, Miss Su, the empress has asked you two to drink tea and sit in the gazebo. Please come with your servants."

Cui gave Su Junning a look calmly, then immediately smiled and nodded in response.

"Then Miss Lao will lead the way."

The pavilion is not far away, but it is spacious.

When the two came over, they saw that there were already seven or eight people sitting inside.

The queen was sitting in the middle, next to her left was her sister-in-law, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Rui, and the lady on the right was Su Junning, whom she didn't recognize. Seeing that she was not in good health, she had a gentle face.

The rest of the people only know half of them.

Obviously another group of upstarts.

After saluting, the queen arranged for them to sit down.

"I don't see Mrs. Su very often, so it's rare to get close to her today. No wonder Fourth Miss is smart and beautiful. She followed her mother."

"The empress is absurd. Ning'er has a bad temper, which means that the empress is kind and gentle, so she can't dislike this girl." Cui quickly replied.

Su Junning remained silent, just bowed her head, looking obedient.

"Madam is really humble. If the fourth lady is not really outstanding, how could she have attracted the love of General Shen?" The queen smiled, then turned her head and looked away, "But it is common sense that gentlemen are good-looking. The palace is also a mother, and she is also worried about the marriage of this daughter."
