Chapter 138 Palace Banquet
Thinking of this, he sighed several times in his heart.
Shopkeeper Shen wanted to come and have a look at Daqi, but His Highness happened to be away from the capital, and he didn't know if he would be able to come back today.
"By the way, if Mr. Zhong sees Liu Zheng, please give me a message. I will go to Youjian Shop later and bring a batch of Western Region jewelry."
"Okay." Zhong Jing agreed.
After leaving the pastry shop, he said goodbye to Shen You and sent the boy to Liu Zheng's place.
With such a big thing happening in the capital, His Highness the Prince should have received the news.
He is a minister, and he must report it to Shopkeeper Shen today.
Not long after, the palace banquet had begun, and the carriages of each family were parked outside the palace gate, and Wen Zhi walked in with his rather ostentatious carriage.
No one dared to stop him, Shen You was sitting inside eating cake.
The softness of the cake is a bit worse than that of modern steamed cakes, but the restoration is okay. Given the conditions in ancient times, the work was definitely not that delicate.
"Why don't I wear a veil? If you go in, everyone will definitely look at you."
Shen You looked at the brightly lit hall and listened to the sound of silk and bamboo inside. When he first entered the palace gate, he was excitedly admiring the palace architecture. As he got closer to the place where the banquet was held, he thought of that scene.
Who can stand up to it if it’s not a Sheniu?
Wen Zhi pursed his lips and said sincerely, "You go in with me, everyone will watch what you wear."
".It makes sense."
"The palace banquets in Da Qi are similar to those recorded in the Tang and Song Dynasties."
His words spoke to Shen You's heart, "Let's go in now!"
Not many people here know her anyway.
As long as she is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed!
"Okay." Wen Zhi frowned and extended his hand for her to take.
Shen You was stunned for a moment when the body temperature that was not his own came from the palm of his hand, and he felt inexplicably nervous.
Then, look away.
Shaking hands is a common etiquette when meeting people. When the studio held an exhibition, so many people shook hands with her. It was a big deal, so don't think about it.
Following the eunuch's announcement, the music stopped and the dancer in the middle stepped aside.
The moment Wen Zhi appeared, everyone looked at him and the people around him.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Shen You noticed that the aura of the person who was joking with him had completely changed.
The last time I saw him feeling so oppressed was when [Lancheng] helped her guests clean up alien species for the first time.
The last time was the night we first met.
Shen You took a look at the old emperor on the high seat. He was wearing clothes made of Huanbu and a pair of cotton slippers made of Huanbu.
The style of painting is quite peculiar.
Next to the main hall is a complete set of chime instruments! The whole hall was filled with warm fragrance, and it wasn't cold at all after entering.
The palace banquet depicted in the ancient painting does not deceive her!
It is also true that no official is ugly.
The old emperor was also sizing up Shen You, was she such a woman?
He received the news in the afternoon.
To this day, I'm still not sure whether it's really the person the Imperial Master likes, or whether the Imperial Master has found someone to act in the show.
Yunzhou has been in chaos for too long, so it's not surprising that no businesswoman can be found.
He didn't understand, when did the national master develop a love brain?
The secret was kept well enough, and for so long, the spies sent could not find out any information.
It's a good thing to have weaknesses, just hold this woman hostage.
Amid the careful and probing eyes of those around him, Shen You sat down with Wen Zhi.
The location is just below the emperor.
Wen Zhi didn't salute, and neither did Shen You.
Liu Zheng, who was sitting at the back, was stunned when he saw Shen You. He blinked to make sure he saw it right.
Mr. Zhong only said that shopkeeper Shen came to Daqi, but did not say that she would come to the palace banquet.
Liu Yunyan noticed something strange about his cousin and followed his gaze, his eyes falling on Shen You. She didn't know why, but she always felt that this woman was different from other people in the capital. Unlike those in high positions, she always looked at people from a high position.
She came back to her senses and whispered to Liu Zheng, "Even if you think this girl is pretty, you can't do this! That's someone brought by the Imperial Master."
The Liu family is walking on thin ice now, so it's better to restrain themselves.
"It's not what you think." Liu Zheng shook his head. Shopkeeper Shen's identity must not be revealed, "I have seen that girl in Yunzhou."
As he said this, he took a look and saw that King Cheng was sitting where His Royal Highness should have been sitting.
Next to her is the princess.
Li Jing and Yongrong Huagui's faces froze for a moment. It had nothing to do with anything else. She was a majestic princess, and it would be a compliment to whomever the father wanted to marry her.
If the other party brings a businesswoman from Yunzhou to the palace banquet, she will certainly feel embarrassed.
The woman also wore a treasure from the Western Regions on her head, something that even her mother and concubine did not have.
The other two people on the scene who knew Shen You were also shocked at this moment.
Zhao Wanyi and Mrs. Zhao Hou.
"Mother."
Zhao Wanyi was about to speak, but when she saw the look in Mrs. Zhao Hou's eyes, she immediately swallowed back all her words.
She understood clearly that she must not let others know that they had seen this woman before.
But she really likes that shiny hairpin. If she finds the opportunity, she must ask how much she is willing to resell it to her!
At the same time, Li Heng, who had not yet entered the capital, received the news, changed his face on the spot, and told his men to work harder to attend the palace banquet.
The subordinates who received the order were wondering, didn't His Highness say before that he would not go back to attend the palace banquet?
Why did he suddenly change? Moreover, His Highness's face looked ugly, even more ugly than when he was tripped up by people from the imperial concubine's mother's family.
At the palace banquet, the music sounded again, and Shen You looked at the musicians playing the piano and the dancer dancing gracefully.
It's simply a visual feast.
No wonder ancient nobles liked to watch singing and dancing. Who wouldn't like it? The music is nice and the dancing is beautiful.
And the plates on the table, perfectly glazed, good stuff.
Shen You suppressed the look in her eyes as if she was a dog and wanted to clear out all the things here, and asked cautiously,
"Are these things not poisonous?"
"No." Wen Zhi gave her a reassuring look.
Shen You ate the ancient palace banquet with peace of mind. There was no technology or hard work, but it was quite delicious.
She was sitting here. If it had been anyone else, the person present would have already opened her mouth to test her, but next to her was the Imperial Master.
No one dares to be the first.
In the end, it was the princess who spoke first, "I heard that the girl next to the Imperial Master is from Yunzhou? That hairpin is so beautiful."
When it comes to hairpins, the female relatives also become active and respond one after another.
"Yes, I didn't expect that there are hairpins that can shine. It's really an eye-opener."
“I don’t know where you bought it?”
When it comes to making money through advertising, Shen You is interested.
"It's something from the Western Regions. It uses a kind of luminous ore unique to the area. It only has a limited luminous time. It can be sold in any shop."
Such a small wick, no one knows when it will break, and the lighting time cannot be guaranteed.
After hearing what she said, the faces of the ladies and ladies from the aristocratic families became a little brighter.
I can't wait to rush to the store to buy it now.
Every time there are not many good things in the "youjian shop", it would be nice to think about it if I could buy such a special hairpin and take it out to a dinner party.
Before the banquet was over, a member of the aristocratic family came to Liu Zheng.
But at this time, Shen You and Wen Zhi had already left. She just came to experience it and didn't want to stay long to deal with the old emperor's appraising gaze.
If you don't leave, someone will definitely come to talk to you.
