Chapter 7 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet

Xiao Ze couldn't help but feel sad when talking about his foreign relatives. Changli was deeply affected by his relatives. At that time, his mother, the Empress Dowager Zhang, accounted for more than half of the whole Changli Dynasty. Empress Dowager Zhang's parents and brothers were important ministers in the court, and her father was the head of the three princes. It took Xiao Ze six years to regain power and destroy the Zhang family. Empress Dowager Zhang also committed suicide. What's more, Yuan Qi's mother was involved in the end. Thinking of these past, Xiao Ze's heart was like a knife. He didn't want Xiao Yuanqi to be influenced by his relatives again. Therefore, his princess must not have a deep background.

"My son and minister should remember his father's teachings."

"Well, after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I will prepare for this."

"Yes, the minister retired first."

"Hang, the Wang family has been doing something privately recently. Be careful." Xiao Yuanqi looked back at Xiao Ze on the dragon chair and mentioned the Wang family. His face was not good.

"I remember it." Xiao Yuanqi retreated.

......

Shen Shiyan returned to the house and sent someone to call Shen Sirong and Shen Siyi. When Shen Sirong entered the hall, Shen Shiyan and Wang were already sitting on the top, with a little serious expressions.

Wang also urged curiously, "Sir, what's the matter? The children have come, just say it." Shen Shiyan looked at Shen Sirong and Shen Siyi: "You will go to the palace with me to the royal banquet on August 15th. From now on, you should prepare your talents in case you are unprepared. In addition, you have also learned royal etiquette since you were a child. Don't be rude then. Do you understand?

"Yes, Dad." Shen Sirong answered first. Shen Siyi stared at her and also replied, "Please don't worry, Dad."

Wang's face was happy and muttered, "This Yier is almost ready to find a good match this time. If he is lucky, His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the King Li have not married his wife yet."

"Nonsense." Shen Shiyan shouted, "Do you know that it's a big sin to talk about the royal family privately?" Wang Shi saw that Shen Shiyan was angry and lowered his voice: "I'm just talking." Wang Shi slandered this in her heart. She is the niece of Prime Minister Wang, and she is a cousin of today's Shufei. In addition, Shen Shiyan is now in the second grade. Why can't her daughter join the royal family?

When Shen Shiyan heard Wang mention the marriage of her child, he remembered that Shen Sirong was already married: "Please arrange Sirong's marriage first. She had not been married before, and now it's time."

Shen Sirong doesn't know how her father mentioned her marriage. In those years, the reason his father looked for when he retired from his wife was excellent. No one thought he was a heartless man and a man greedy for glory. Although she has never appeared on a big occasion, it is no secret that her Shen Sirong has no background in the Shen family. The marriage between courtiers is inseparable from the word "interests". Shen Sirong knows that even if he marries, no one will marry.

"This? I know. When this royal banquet comes back, I will start to do it. Wang Shi succeeded Shen Sirong in those years and only wanted Shen Shiyan to be sorry. She has never treated her sincerely for so many years, let alone find a good mother-in-law with her. At this time, when she heard her husband say this, she had to respond first, and it was up to her to say what to do.

Shen Shiyan put down a worry and his face was slightly relaxed. Wang looked at his husband with some greed. He was still handsome. He fell in love with him at first sight and took a lot of thought to let him agree to divorce his wife and marry another marriage. He is willing to know that he is not the person in his heart, and he is willing to know that he is a continuation.

......

Since Shen Shiyan told him to treat this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet carefully, everyone in all courtyards of Shen's mansion has been busy, and Shen Sirong's Xiaoyuan is no exception.

"Miss Sirong, look, how about this dress? The water red color is neither bright nor vulgar, which is just right." Chunliu was busy choosing clothes for Shen Sirong, but Shen Sirong didn't look at them.

"Miss Sirong, do you want to see this?" After saying that, he picked up another lake green gauze. Shen Sirong said this time, "Chunliu, you are busy."

The wet nurse looked at the jewelry box, in which there were only some sporadic and inconspicuous jewelry. Hearing Shen Sirong's words, she knew that she must have a plan, so she let Chunliu go down.

"Miss doesn't want to go?" Shen Sirong was lazy and picky: "Nanny, what do you think it's good for me to go? Since it's useless, why should I go? The emperor just said that he could bring women, not that he must bring women..."

The wet nurse also has her idea: "Miss, your beauty and talent are excellent. If anyone likes you, it will be a good marriage."

Marriage?

Shen Sirong is really hard to believe this word.

"Will they give me this opportunity?" This sentence is the most critical. Shen Sirong has also studied piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, lyrics, songs and Fu with the teachers in the house. But everything is better than her. Later, Shen Siyi made a scene, and Shen Sirong never had a chance to learn it again.

The wet nurse knew what Shen Sirong was referring to, so she stopped squeaking, and Shen Sirong gradually fell slew.

......

In a flash, August 15th arrived. These days, Shen Sirong lived a very peaceful life, and his freehand injury was almost healed. Shen Sirong often asked her to sit in the yard with her.

Throughout August 15, Shen Sirong did not go out of the door.

"Miss Sirong is sick?" Shen Shiyan looked at Chunliu who came to report the news. Chunliu nodded: "Miss Sirong, I suffered from the wind last night and had a fever together this morning."

"Why didn't you report it earlier?" Shen Shiyan always feels wrong. He doesn't report early and late. He doesn't come to report until he is about to go out? So he questioned Chunliu.

When Chunliu heard the master's question, she thought to herself that Miss Sirong was really amazing. How did she know that the master would ask this? She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Shen Shiyan's eyes for fear of revealing her flaws: "Master, Miss Sirong just said that she had a headache and rested in the room in the morning, but now it was hot. Miss Sirong said that she was afraid that something would go wrong when she entered the palace, so..."

Shen Shiyan knew that Shen Sirong might be intentional, but he had no choice. He really cared about this reason.

Wang and Shen Siyi were very happy to hear the news that Shen Sirong would not go. They were worried that they didn't know what to plan for her, and her own body was still disappointing. That's no wonder.

Wang Shi said aside, "Sir, it's not early now. Let's go to the palace." Shen Shiyan ordered his servants: "Find a doctor to show the young lady and send someone to take good care of her." When Wang heard this, she felt a little unhappy and repeatedly urged, "Sir, it's disrespectful to enter the palace late." Shen Shiyan did not move, and his expression was unclear. When Wang opened his mouth to urge again, he took a deep look at Wang. Wang's eyes dodged, and Shen Shiyan did not say anything more and turned to the carriage.

Palace Houyuan, Stargazing Platform.

The stargazing platform is in the southwest of the palace. This star viewing platform is four feet high. The top floor is a platform, which is a special place for Si Tianjian to watch the sky, and the star viewing platform has been built into the appearance of a palace. Later, it was improved to be one of the places dedicated to holding royal banquets.

Shen Shiyan was led by a guide eunuch and entered through the side door of Yun Ni Hall with his wife and daughter. There is also a case next to the dragon case, which should be the position of Shufei. The subordinates are the prince and the glass king respectively, and then they are ministers one after another. Yushi Zhongcheng is a second-grade official. He sits on the third place on the right, front of which is the seat of Prince Xiao Yuanqi and Youcheng Wang Chu. ( Note: This dynasty is respected by the right)

Wang sat on the left side of Shen Shiyan. After sitting in the hall, he turned around and bowed his head to the right prime minister Wang Chu: "Cai Qing pays a visit to his uncle."

Wang Chu nodded and then chatted with Shen Shiyan. Many courtiers have entered one after another. The prince and the king of glass walked into the hall one after the other, and the officials and women in the hall looked straight. You know, the prince Xiao Yuanqi and the king of glass Xiao Yuanfeng were both first-class.

Xiao Yuanqi's facial features are more exquisite, his face is like crowned jade, and his eyes are narrow and long under his sword eyebrows. His nose is as if he is brave, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised like a smile, but his momentum is not the same. Xiao Yuanfeng's appearance is another style. His eyebrows are quite clear, and his deep facial features are like knives, but the smile on his mouth all the time makes people feel close.

Shen Siyi looked at the two timidly, and her face was already red. Wang pinched her leg heavily on the table, and Shen Siyi almost exhaled in pain.

"Pay attention to your behavior." Wang whispered.

Soon, the eunuch's spies' voice came from outside the hall: "The emperor has arrived, and the Empress Shu has arrived."

Everyone in the hall knelt down and shouted, "May my emperor live long live. Best wishes to Concubine Jin An.

Xiao Ze raised his hand and said, "The nobles are flat."

"Thank you, Emperor."

......

Xiao Yuanfeng was looking for Shen Sirong's figure as soon as he entered the hall. He looked at Shen Shiyan's table and inadvertently happened to look at Shen Siyi. Shen Siyi never thought that King Li would look over, and Xiao Yuanfeng's bright eyes made her heart hit like a deer. I was at a loss when I put my hand under the case. When she looked up again, Li Wang had already turned his head.

Xiao Yuanqi's men have found out the origin of the woman. If there is nothing wrong, she should be the lady of Shenfu. At that time, Xiao Yuanqi saw him looking at Miss Shen, and also pretended to talk to Shen Shiyan inadvertently, but his eyes wandered on Shen Siyi. After confirming that she was not the person in the painting, Xiao Yuanqi withdrew his eyes.

Shen Siyi listened to Xiao Yuanqi's voice, and her heart was itchy. As soon as she raised her eyes, she was hit again. Her heart went up and down, and the prince's eyes were like a deep pool, trying to suck her in. The prince and Li Wang were looking at her. Could it be... Thinking about it, Shen Siyi's mouth was full of smiles.

Halfway through the banquet, the emperor Xiao Ze drove back to the palace first, and Shufei also left with the emperor. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more relaxed. Originally, Xiao Yuanqi was also preparing to return to the East Palace, but he accidentally saw Xiao Yuanfeng greeting Shen Shiyan to go out. Humph. Xiao Yuanqi picked up the wine glass, but secretly sneered in his heart. The squinting motioned to a servant behind him to follow them.

He wants to see, Xiao Yuanfeng, what are you doing?
