Northern Song Dynasty: It’s a showdown, who said I, Zhao Zhen, don’t have a son?

Chapter 78 Sneaked in without being discovered!
Everyone came to the Chongzheng Hall and sat down one by one. They were all members of the clan. Except for the few princes who sat in the front, the others were almost the same.

Zhao He sat on the left side of the game and looked at the fruit snacks on the table. He was not in a hurry to do it, but looked at what the people around him were doing.

None of them were in a hurry to eat, or it was already commonplace for them and they had no interest in it. They were just chatting with the people around them.

The person closest to Zhao He was the person who had just spoken to Zhao He. He first chatted with Zhao He for a few words, but when he saw that Zhao He was not interested in continuing the conversation, he went to find someone else.

In the palace, the people around him were either members of the clan or brought by them, and Zhao He was the only one who fished in troubled waters.

It has to be a lot, and it’s actually a bit exciting?

When Ren Shouzhong saw everyone sitting down, he went to the back to see the officials, and walked out after a while.

"Today, the official family is infected with wind and cold and is feeling ill. I am entertaining you all in a side room. I hope you won't be surprised."

As soon as these words came out, the people present were even a little curious: "The official family is also infected with wind and cold. I have excellent medicinal materials for treating wind and cold at home. I will ask someone to deliver them after I return."

"Officials work day and night for the Song Dynasty, so they must pay attention to their health..."

At this time, the king of Runan, Zhao Yunrang, who was at the forefront, was also in a delicate mood.

The official family was originally ill and had been dealing with government affairs for many years. Now he is infected with the cold. I am afraid it is not an accident, but it must be inevitable over time.

If something happens to him because of this...

"The auspicious time has arrived, and a banquet is given according to the official order."

Everyone stood up, and Zhao He also quickly followed the action, raised his hands and saluted: "Thank you, official!"

After a while, countless maids came slowly with exquisite dishes in their hands, leaving a dish in front of everyone's table.

The royal banquet was grand in scale. Today, the royal banquet was held for members of the clan. There were eighteen royal dishes, one after another, after all the dishes were finished, rewards were given, and then it was over.

This will take about one to two hours. Generally speaking, the emperor will talk to the people in the clan about some things, but today the official is ill, it is these people who liven up the atmosphere, and they cannot be cold just because the official is not around. Finished.

Zhao He looked at the dish in front of him, and his appetite was immediately attracted, and he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.

He looked at the people around him who were using their chopsticks, and he started doing the same.

When the white, tender and smooth tofu was put into his mouth, a light sweetness spread quickly. The taste was so wonderful that Zhao He couldn't help but sigh.

The portions of the dishes are not big, just a small plate. They are not intended to fill you up, but just to give you a taste. However, you must finish every dish without leaving any.

Zhao He's identity has not been discovered, and by chance, the official family is not here today, which means that the possibility of being exposed is even smaller. This is the right time!

Without stopping with the chopsticks in my hands, the small portion was quickly eaten, which was an appetizer.

So Zhao He picked up the wine cup on the side and poured himself a small glass. After drinking it, his eyes lit up again.

Good wine!
As everyone knows, this scene has been watched by Zhao Zhen behind the window, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw this scene.

Seeing Zhao He eating so happily, he couldn't help but blame himself. He blamed himself for not even being able to find out who was the person who murdered the royal heir.

If this were not the case, He'er would be the crown prince at this moment and have a good time with these people.

But deep down in his heart, he was still happy. Although it was not a face-to-face family dinner, at least he saw it today, and Zhao Zhen was already very satisfied.

He must not appear, otherwise his status as an official in front of Zhao He will be exposed. Besides, it may be difficult to see Zhao He as usual.

Calling Ren Shouzhong, Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Everything has been arranged?" Ren Shouzhong nodded, bowed and said: "The official badge has been returned, the identity is correct, and there is no mistake."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "That's very good. He looks a little hungry. Let's reward him with this fried rice cake."

Ren Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange, but he didn't say much. He picked up the fried rice cake and walked out of the room, slowly walking to Zhao He.

"Young Master, this is a reward from the official family."

Zhao He was stunned for a moment, then took it: "Thank you, official."

Around him, countless people from the clan also looked over.

Has the official rewarded you with food?
Um?This young man is a bit strange, I have never seen him before!

However, they didn't pay much attention to it. It was just that rewards were common. Maybe this person had a close relationship with the official family. After all, he was so young and they just didn't know who the adults in the family were.

At this time, the middle-aged man next to him also cast his eyes over curiously and asked with a smile: "Young Master? Can you tell me who the adults in your family are?"

After all, the officials rewarded him with food, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to know who his family is and make friends with him in the future.

Zhao He was shocked, and then said with a smile: "My family has told me when I go out that I cannot reveal my identity for fear that I will lose face..."

The middle-aged man laughed heartily. Seeing that Zhao He didn't say anything, he wisely didn't ask. He raised his glass of wine and said, "Young gentleman, we will meet more in the future. If you have the opportunity, move around more."

"As it should be."

Among the seats, the leader was none other than Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County. He also noticed the movement here.

It was originally a reward from an official, so there was nothing surprising about it, but when he saw the young man's face clearly, his eyes suddenly froze.

Zhao He? !
Isn't this person a businessman in the market?
Regarding Zhao He's identity, Zhao Yunrang personally sent people to investigate. It was true that he was a commoner with no background. If he had to say that he could be related to the clan, there was only one named Zhao.

He had previously suspected that Zhao He had some connection with the official family, but then he gave up the idea, thinking that he was just a disciple of Fan Zhongyan.

But seeing him here today really surprised Zhao Yun.

This person will never come in based on his own identity!

Sneaking into the palace as a commoner and pretending to be a member of the royal family, eating and drinking?
This is a serious crime. As long as Zhao Yunrang thinks about it now, one sentence can plunge Zhao He into a place of eternal destruction!
But the problem is that it is impossible for the officials not to know that Zhao He is not a member of the clan, but why do they still reward him with food? Is it possible that the officials also know about this person?

Zhao Yunrang did not act rashly, but kept observing Zhao He's expression and movements.

It can be seen that this person has never been to the palace. He has been watching other people's movements and postures to ensure that he will not have any big problems.

He really sneaked in, you are so brave!

At this moment, Ren Shouzhong walked carefully to Zhao He with a glass of wine in his hand.

Everyone paid attention again, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It’s a one-time reward, why does it happen again so soon?The second dish has just been served!

Ren Shouzhong said slowly: "The official gave me wine. This wine is the royal green plum wine. It can touch the greasy taste of the meat slices and eat it with it. It tastes amazing."

Zhao Yunrang immediately raised his eyebrows. The officials actually cared so much about this young man?
Oh, interesting.
