This palace comes from the general's mansion

Chapter 103 Welcome Banquet

On the third day after Shen Yunyan left the palace, Dong Lizili hosted a banquet in the palace to wash away the dust for Dong Li Jingruo.

Dongli Jingruo left the palace for more than [-] years. The courtiers were quite surprised when they came back this time. They all thought that the eldest princess had passed away, but they didn't expect that she was just playing around in the mountains and rivers outside.

Thinking of Dong Li Jingruo's demeanor when she was young, the ministers are still a little bit embarrassed.

After all, the eldest princess was also a man of the day in Kyoto.

Excellent talent, and a princess.It can be said that it is a collection of thousands of loves.

The most important thing is that the two or three things she had to talk about with Shen Motian, General Shen, are even more talked about.

Empress Dowager Wen is the person who least likes to see Dongli Jingruo.

At the beginning, when Dong Li Jingruo was still in the palace, she always opposed her everywhere, no matter how much the emperor tried to persuade her, it was useless.

Empress Dowager Wen must attend today's banquet.

Empress Dowager Wen looked at Eunuch Fu standing aside and staring at him, a little speechless.

This time the emperor is determined to find her unhappy.

Empress Dowager Wen made her makeup extremely exquisite, vowing to show off at the banquet.

Dongli Jingruo is about the same age as her, so she can't let her compare.

When Empress Dowager Wen followed Eunuch Fu to the front palace, the palace was already full of people.

The eldest princess Dongli Jingruo sat at the top of the table, and the one below her was Wen Zhijin.

Wen Zhijin's face was a little embarrassed. In the past, she was a queen, and she and the emperor sat on it at every banquet, overlooking all the officials, wives and concubines.

But now, she is the only one sitting below, and she even has to sit behind the eldest princess who has not returned to the palace for more than 20 years.

Wen Zhijin felt that the eyes of others looking at her were full of ridicule.

Seeing where his daughter was sitting, Wen Taihe felt uncomfortable.

He didn't understand, his always smart daughter.How could he get into this field in the palace.

When he saw the figure of Empress Dowager Wen appearing in his sight, his distress turned into complaint again.

Empress Dowager Wen, who was obviously in the palace and could help his daughter, did nothing after his daughter was demoted to the imperial concubine.

This made him have to suspect that Empress Dowager Wen had deep thoughts.

After Empress Dowager Wen sat down, after seeing the ceremony, she said a few polite words, and the banquet began.

Dong Li looked around quietly, but did not see Shen Yunyan.

She glanced at Jingxin, Jingxin understood, and quietly backed out.

Jingxin, who has been with the eldest princess for nearly 30 years, doesn't know what the eldest princess is thinking. He must have not seen General Shen's daughter. He is puzzled and wants her to check it out.

Jingxin walked out of the palace gate, looking for a path to move forward.

She hadn't entered the palace for many years, so she really didn't dare to wander around casually.

But by coincidence, when passing by the imperial dining room, I met a little eunuch.

That eunuch is the little six.

After Shen Yunyan left the palace, Wen Zhijin relegated him to the imperial dining room on the grounds that Yunyan Pavilion didn't need anyone to stay behind, and did a low-level cleaning job.

Little Six was not annoyed, in his heart, he always felt that Yun Zhaoyi would come back again, as long as Yun Zhaoyi came back, he would be able to return to Yunyan Pavilion again, and return to Yun Zhaoyi's side.

Because of this belief, Xiaoliuzi never mentioned to Eunuch Fu that he came to the Imperial Dining Room.

Seeing Xiao Liuzi, Jing Xin stepped forward to say hello with a pleasant smile: "Hello, little eunuch."

Little Six's eyelids were alive, and he knew that he didn't come from an ordinary mansion at a glance.

He put down the swill in his hand, rubbed his hands on his clothes and said, "Hello, aunt."

"Little eunuch, there is Yun Zhaoyi in this palace, why didn't you see him at the banquet today? Our master and Yun Zhaoyi have met several times before, so it's a bit surprising that we don't see him today."

When Little Six heard this, his expression was a little listless: "Yun Zhaoyi is out of the palace."

Jing Xin was obviously taken aback, but didn't say anything, just said: "Thank you, little eunuch."

After following the eldest princess quietly for many years, how can she not understand some twists and turns in the palace, just looking at the expression of the little six who hesitated to speak, and then thinking about what happened to Shen Yunyan before, she understands a little bit.

When the eldest princess sent Shen Yunyan back, she told her that she was afraid that someone in the palace would gossip and the emperor would have to punish Shen Yunyan.

Looking at it now, it really complied with the eldest princess' guess.

Probably because of Aiwujiwu, the eldest princess is still very fond of the Shen family.

Jingxin went back quietly, whispering in the eldest princess' ear.

Dongli Jingruo's face changed for a moment, and then returned to normal.

Dongli Jingruo looked at the calm-looking Empress Dowager Wen on the stage, her heart was like a mirror.

"Aunt Huang, do the food and drink still suit your appetite?" Dong Lizi left his mouth.

He really didn't want to have any mother-child drama with Empress Dowager Wen, and he didn't want the two of them to just sit awkwardly and say nothing.

Dong Li Jingruo put down the cup in her hand: "It's very good, Your Majesty, please worry about it."

Dong Lizi smiled, and the haze of many days was swept away.

"As long as Aunt Huang is satisfied."

Dong Li Jingruo raised the wine glass in the direction of Dong Li Zili, and Dong Li Zili also raised the wine glass to signal Dong Li Jingruo.

Empress Dowager Wen was completely left alone.

Empress Dowager Wen could not hold her breath, she just looked at the audience with a dignified and comfortable smile, and looked at Dong Lizili from time to time, putting on a filial expression of a mother's kindness and filial piety.

Dong Li watched quietly for a moment, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, and the Queen Mother still hasn't changed a bit."

Empress Dowager Wen smiled: "How can it compare to the eldest princess, who really hasn't changed?"

Empress Dowager Wen looked at Dongli Jingruo's 20-year-old face with some jealousy, and she really liked it in these years. Dongli Jingruo really didn't change much, but the charm of her whole body became stronger.

Compared with when he was young, he is less playful and more calm.

What about her?

After all these years in the palace, after fighting this one and that one, he still has to guard against his secrets from being discovered, and he has already given birth to Huafa.

Empress Dowager Wen couldn't help but sigh in her heart, some people are born with good fortune, although this Dongli Jingruo didn't find a good match, but after all, there is nothing bothering her.

Dong Li is as quiet as a well-born person, and this calm temperament makes people unable to look away.

Looking at it like this, she was even more graceful and luxurious than the Queen Mother.

Dong Li Jingruo smiled softly, even though there was a lot of wine in the hall and the singing and dancing girls were extremely beautiful, she still lost some color in front of Dong Li Jingruo.

"The empress dowager praises me. After the banquet, I will go to the empress dowager's palace to bother me."

"It's okay, our aunt and sister-in-law may not have talked about each other for a long time."

The two of you come and go back and forth with each other, what kind of personal talk, where is there any personal talk between the two of you.

It's just a scene.

Empress Dowager Wen didn't think there was anything to talk about between her and Dongli Jingruo.

Back then, if she hadn't stopped her, Dongli Jingruo might have really married Shen Motian.

How could Dongli Jingruo get the man she couldn't get.

What does Dongli Jingruo have?
Just a spoiled princess in the royal family.

Empress Dowager Wen didn't take what Dong Li Jingruo said to heart, but she never thought that after the banquet, Dong Li Jingruo really went to Chunhui Palace.
