Chapter 60 Banquet in the Palace
Lin Shuran suddenly felt a little depressed. The marriage she wanted was absolutely not like this. If the relationship between them would always exist, she had to change the current status quo. Anyway, she didn't hate Xu Junze, so she would try Cultivate your relationship with each other.

She was angry, this was Xu Junze's first feeling, it made him mistakenly think that Lin Shuran hated his kiss just now, did that man named Gu Jingcheng kiss her like this before, thinking of this, Xu Junze stood up abruptly , and left without looking back.

He was afraid that if he continued to stay, he would hurt her because of the sudden jealousy in his heart.

He didn't know at what moment he really took Lin Shuran into his heart, maybe it was the first time he saw her on the wedding night, maybe he heard her protecting Xu Minghao and the others, maybe it was the day when she was kidnapped on the street, he He couldn't find the source and didn't want to explore any more. When he found that the weight of her in his heart was getting heavier day by day, he knew that he couldn't let go, and he didn't want to wait for the things he originally wanted to wait for. There is a shadow of another man in her heart, and he wants to fight for a place.

"Why is he still angry!" After Xu Junze seemed to leave angrily, Lin Shuran still felt aggrieved. She was the one who was "bullied", but he seemed more aggrieved than her.

New Year's Eve is the last day of the year. According to the traditions and rules of the Jin Dynasty, the emperor will hold a palace banquet on this day. At that time, the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials, family members, and vassal envoys will all go to the palace to participate in the banquet and performances. Well, Lin Shuran, as the general's wife, naturally wants to go with Xu Junze.

But today, Yue Wang Zhao Qian, who has been in the feudal land for many years, was called back to Beijing to attend the New Year's Eve palace banquet. Xu Junze was responsible for escorting him into the palace, so Lin Shuran entered the palace alone.

The New Year's Eve palace banquet is the last large banquet held by the palace within a year, and it is also the most important banquet. When the invited people arrive at the gate of the palace, there will be eunuchs leading them to wait in the main hall where the banquet is held. Only the queen and concubines will enter the palace last.

Lin Shuran didn't go very early. When she was led into the hall by Gong'e, she found that many people had already sat down in their seats. The royal banquet would naturally be more solemn and solemn, and even if there were voices, they were only in a low voice. Whispering, no one is making loud noises and laughing.

In this time and space, men are superior to women and women are inferior, but when seated at a banquet, men are in front and women are behind, and the left is respected and the right is inferior.

Lin Shuran, as the wife of a first-rank general, also had a seat very close to the front, and she found that she was arranged to be with her mother Wenshi, sister-in-law Mingshi, Zhen Guogong's wife Yang, and Zhen Guogong's eldest concubine Qiushi. Lei Yingying sat together.

"Why are you going out so late?" Wen asked worriedly as soon as Lin Shuran sat down.

"Go back to mother, some things are delayed at home!" Lin Shuran replied with a smile.

Lei Yingying winked at her and said, "You don't want to come so early, I don't like this kind of occasion either, I'm suffocated!"

Yang stared helplessly at her daughter, and then seemed to explain to Wen: "This child is spoiled by us, and he can't speak at all!"

Wen smiled back and said, "These two children have been close since childhood, and they know each other better than we do!"

"Mrs. Lin, you know me better than my own mother!" Because Lei Yingying had a good relationship with Lin Shuran, she became unnaturally close to her family members.

"You child, you want to be beaten!" Yang pretended to be angry, but her eyes were full of smiles.

The Ming family and the Qiu family at the same table smiled at each other. Ever since Lin Shuran and Xu's stepson rescued Lei Haobo during the Cuju meeting, the Lei family has become much closer to the Lin family and Xu family than to others, and the atmosphere of getting along is relaxed and casual.

One after another, the hall was almost full of people, and the tables had already been set with delicious food, wine, tea, and snacks, but Lin Shuran saw that Xu Junze's seat in the front row was still empty.

After waiting for another stick of incense, four men walked in one after the other at the main entrance of the main hall. The only man in his 50s was dressed in a purple and gold coiled dragon and python robe, with an air of calmness and prestige. With a fierce momentum, when he stepped into the threshold of the hall with steady and powerful steps, everyone's eyes turned to him.

This person is the King of Yue, Zhao Qian, the eldest son of the late Emperor and Concubine Su, and the first son of the late Emperor. He used to be the eldest prince of the Jin Dynasty. Most beloved and proud son.

However, the first emperor made him King of Yue when he was 14 years old, designated Qingzhou as his fiefdom, and issued an imperial decree that he was not allowed to return to Beijing without the emperor's summons.

Today's Emperor Zhao You is the youngest son of the first emperor and also the legitimate son of the current Empress Dowager. He is almost 30 years older than his elder brother Zhao Qian. Today will be the first time the two brothers will meet.

Three young men of the same age walked in with Zhao Qian. Many people are familiar with two of the men in Chinese costumes. They are Zhao Qian's two sons, the eldest son Zhao Wei and the second son Zhao Wei. Lian, and when the third white-robed man raised his head slightly, many people present looked as if they had seen hell, and turned pale with shock.

"Gu——Gu Jingcheng!" Who knew who was the first to scream out.

"My son——" Guo Shi, who came to the palace banquet today, also saw the man's face. Even if he passed out, Gu Xiruo who was beside him was a little scared, "Brother?"

Xiao Chen turned his gaze to Lin Shuran at the first moment, but found that her face was very calm, and she was more puzzled than excited. Could it be that she had really let go of Gu Jingcheng, even when she saw that picture now? Is the face exactly the same as Gu Jingcheng also indifferent?

Seeing that her husband Xiao Chen's eyes were full of worry and concern for Lin Shuran, Su Wanwan just snorted coldly, feeling a little gloating in her heart, Lin Shuran probably never thought of this situation, right? !

She glanced at the white-robed man standing in the hall again, could it be that she really saw a ghost?Who is he?

"What's going on?!" Yue Wang Zhao Qian's voice was very penetrating. Before everyone in the hall figured out what was going on, and everyone didn't know how to answer him, then a eunuch shouted, the queen mother and the emperor Waiting for someone to come.

The chaotic scene was suppressed immediately. Everyone secretly glanced at the "Gu Jingcheng" in the hall, but there were also many people who looked at Lin Shuran. They didn't know whether they wanted to see her jokes or her reaction, but Lin Shuran But it became more and more calm.

Xu Junze entered the hall with the emperor. After entering the hall, he quickly glanced in Lin Shuran's direction. He seemed to have sensed the chaos in the hall just now, and then glanced at Zhao Qian and the others who had knelt down to welcome the emperor. .
