After the Hou family's mistress went crazy, she became the favorite of the entire capital.

It is true that Zuo Jing has never seen her daughter wearing it in so many years, so Zuo Jing did not ask again.

But for some reason, she couldn't help but keep looking at He Wangzhou, feeling that the jade pendant seemed familiar.

After a while, when the eunuch's special voice shouted, everyone knelt on the ground to greet the Holy One.

Amidst shouts of long live, Emperor Beiyuan and his empress and concubine stepped into the palace banquet.

He Wangzhou was worried that she would reveal her timidity, and wanted to say a few words of comfort. He looked sideways and saw that she was generous and showed no timidity at all.

He raised the corners of his lips, becoming more and more satisfied.

Lin Jin'an, on the other hand, was very cautious when she entered the palace for the first time. She didn't dare to move or look around, so she was always careful.Zuo Jing was scolded by Zuo Jing just now, but now she didn't even dare to take a breath.

When he lowered his head, he saw a bright yellow step in front of his eyes, and Lin Jinan's heart beat like thunder.

This is the emperor!

It's the Emperor Beiyuan!
"No need to be too polite. Let's just be casual at today's palace banquet."

The Son of Heaven is indeed the Son of Heaven, he is not angry and has authority, which makes people's hearts shake.

After everyone thanked them, they looked up, and some people whispered.

"Why is the Crown Princess here too? Isn't she so ill that she can't even get out of bed?"

"She is standing here properly, looking very energetic, and her face is very rosy. She doesn't look like she is sick."

Lin Jinan's eyebrows twitched fiercely. He raised his eyes and saw a beautiful woman standing next to the prince.

The woman is dignified and graceful, exactly like the rumored princess.

"Why are you so unruly? It offends Tianwei and you don't want it anymore?"

Zuo Jing reminded him in time, and Lin Jinan looked back in panic.

When the Crown Princess was seriously ill for a long time, many people expected her to die soon.Now that she has taken medicine, she has gathered enough strength to stand here, just to let the women who care about the prince see that she is not dead yet, and the position of the princess is not for others to care about.

She glanced coldly at everyone, taking in all the emotions in those eyes that were looking at her.

Although she didn't say a word or show her emotions, the Crown Princess had already noted several people in her mind.

When her gaze passed over Shu Yan, the Crown Princess frowned and asked the Prince beside her softly.

"Your Highness, which young lady is that? Why haven't I seen her before?"

Mo Yuande took a look and said, "Next to her is the eldest son of Marquis Jing'an. She is naturally the daughter of the Shu family."

"Shu Yan?"

Meeting the Crown Princess's gaze, Shu Yan nodded and smiled at her in a dignified and polite manner.

Lin Jinan, on the other hand, flinched after meeting the Crown Princess's gaze and did not dare to look any further.

The Crown Princess frowned.

When did Lin Jinan become so unworthy that she could not compare to her arch-rival, Shu Yan, who was entering the palace for the first time?

Emperor Beiyuan was in a very good mood today. The queen turned sideways and said something to him, which made Emperor Beiyuan even more happy.The imperial concubine on the other side saw her and wanted to join in the fun.

The queen would say a word, and the concubine would just say a few words. She even directly interrupted the queen at the end, making the queen's face darken.

The imperial concubine was used to coaxing people. She was already a mother and still had the same coquettish attitude as a little daughter. Emperor Beiyuan naturally couldn't bear to punish her and was reluctant to even say harsh words.

The queen was left out, and seeing that the two of them were tired of being together, she took the initiative and nodded, and someone immediately stood up to perform.

"This is the daughter of Chen Sheng, the young minister of Dali Temple. Because the prince praised her as a good dancer a few years ago, she only dances the same dance at every palace banquet." "This one can only compose poetry, listen. Yes, it was actually done by the concubine of the family, she stole it to gain fame."

"This singing is so awful. I think her chess skills are even better."

He Wangzhou introduced her one by one. Although he could lower his voice, those who were closer would always hear them.

Shu Yan wanted to cover his mouth, but she was still a little shocked in her heart. In her previous life, she thought they were all real official ladies, but she didn't expect that they were like this in private.

Looking over, Shu Yan saw a young lady sitting far away in a goose-yellow dress.

She felt something looked familiar, so she touched He Wangzhou lightly with her hand and asked him, "Who is that?"

He Wangzhou glanced at her and said, "That is the daughter of King Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance. I heard that she was weak before and had been recuperating at her grandfather's house. She was brought back recently."

The daughter of Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance?

Wang Ying?

Isn't that Lin Zhongxuan's daughter-in-law who is about to come in?
She then remembered that she had seen the portrait of Zuo Jing when she proposed marriage to Lin Zhongxuan. No wonder it looked familiar now.

The palace banquet is all about talent, and the ladies of each family are eager to show off their talents. If they can be praised by the masters who sit high up, or win the favor of a prince, or be favored by an official's wife, It seems that this trip was not in vain.

Shu Yan's eyes kept falling on Wang Ying, and he was also curious about what talents this young lady raised in her maternal grandfather's family had. Unexpectedly, she just sat there quietly, not wanting to join in the fun at all.

Most of the ladies performed at the banquet. Lin Jinan suddenly stood up and said, "You ladies were good at singing and dancing just now. I wonder what kind of performance Mrs. He is planning to perform?"

Shu Yan had known for a long time that Lin Jinan was looking for trouble.

He Wangzhou pressed her hand and said, "What kind of performance do you want to perform? You are my wife, and you are not a kabuki performer for others' entertainment."

I don’t know how many people he offended with just one sentence.

Shu Yan chuckled, "Even if I am looking for fun, I will only let you, husband, have fun alone."

She pulled away He Wangzhou's hand and stood up slowly.

"Ms. Lin didn't ask others, so why did she only ask me? I have little talent and little knowledge, and I don't have any talents."

Lin Jinan's lips curled up with pride, and his eyes were full of ridicule.

"But now that Miss Lin has taken the initiative, I will show my shame."

Lin Jinan clearly saw his former body. He was not good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Shu Yan said it was an act of embarrassment, but that was really an act of embarrassment.

I saw Shu Yan calling a little palace maid and pointing to the musician over there, as if to explain something.That's all, she walked to an elm-leaf plum, picked two plum blossoms, and stood in the center of the banquet, standing on one foot with an outstanding posture.

Following two drum beats, Shu Yan held a flower branch and struck like a sharp sword. The ladies of the official family were immediately startled.

During the dinner, Zuo Jing's hand trembled and most of the wine in her glass spilled.

The sound of the drums became more intense and restless, and Shu Yan's moves became faster and crisper.The plum blossom petals on the branches fell and danced on her sleeves.

Strong and soft at the same time, so beautiful!
Everyone at the palace banquet was dumbfounded. Until Shu Yan stopped moving, until all the petals on the branches flew down, everyone did not regain their consciousness for a long time.

"it is good!"

He Wangzhou reacted first, clapped his hands and shouted excitedly to the people around him, showing off: "This is my wife, this is my wife!"

Shu Yan handed the broken branch to the little palace maid, his voice was soft and long, completely different from the decisiveness when dancing with the sword. "I've made a fool of myself for you all."

After saying that, she looked at the pale Lin Jinan and pursed her lips in mockery.

"Ms. Lin, I've already learned how to dance with the sword, so why don't you do a dance too?" (End of Chapter)
