321: No Shame at All

Su Xinyi pretended not to know, and sat there as calm as a mountain. The crown princess's uniform was solemn and majestic, casting a layer of solemnity on her gorgeous facial features. In addition, there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and her gorgeous color Not outstanding anymore.

Yan Qiongsi was sitting in the hall with her mother, with a slight smile on her brows, but she couldn't hide the stern look deep in her eyes.

The princess of Guangping County is not in a good mood today. Although her daughter no longer talks about Shang Junyan, she still keeps silent about her marriage. If she wants to choose a husband for her, her daughter will throw away her sleeves and let her He was so anxious that he felt unlucky whether he looked at Su Xinyi or the princess of Pingjing County.

Just as I was holding back my anger, I heard the chamberlain shouting outside, "The Emperor is here!"

Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him, and the queen quickly stepped forward. When she saw your majesty entering the palace with his ministers, she immediately stepped forward and saluted, "I pay my respects to your majesty."

"See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and helped the queen up, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, stay flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Xinyi stood up with everyone. She raised her head slightly and saw His Majesty the Crown Prince following His Majesty, and several princes following His Majesty.

The queen has already had someone adjust the seating arrangement. Today, the husband and wife attending the banquet will naturally sit together in the same place. They will be arranged according to their official positions and relatives of the emperor. There will be palace attendants to guide them, so there is nothing wrong with it.

His Royal Highness naturally walked to Su Xinyi and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he spoke softly, "Did you encounter anything?"

He was worried that it would be the first time for Ayuan to participate in such a palace banquet, and he would feel uncomfortable in some way.

Su Xinyi said with a smile: "It's okay, Your Highness, don't worry, but today's rumors about Prince Xiang and Concubine Li have given everyone something to talk about."

After listening to Su Xinyi's words, the prince pursed his lips and smiled.

Su Xinyi knew immediately that it was His Highness who did it, and he was in a good mood.

Everyone sat down one after another, and saw the prince and the princess sitting together. They both had a slight smile on their faces, and they looked very harmonious.

Except for Prince Rong who has not yet returned to the capital, several other princes are here. Because they have not yet married, they are all sitting together with their respective mothers and concubines. The mother and son, Concubine Li and Prince Xiang, seem to have a little unnatural look on their faces. Concubine Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming, mother and son, look much better.

Everyone exchanged glances quickly below, each thinking in their hearts.

Mrs. Wu'an Hou looked at her niece and said softly: "Don't act rashly later, listen to me."

You Xiangzhe squeezed the handkerchief tightly and nodded gently. She had not raised her head since His Majesty came in.

The emperor sat high, glanced at the queen, then raised his wine glass and said to everyone: "Today's summer banquet coincides with the prince's return to the capital after defeating the Tatars. It is a double happiness."

Everyone immediately agreed. Defeating the Tatars was equivalent to temporarily pushing away the sword hanging over their heads. Of course, it was a happy thing.

Prime Minister Wang immediately stood up and said loudly: "As the crown prince, His Royal Highness is not afraid of danger and serves the country and the people. It is my great fortune in Southern Qi to be able to lead the troops in person."

The emperor laughed heartily. He was obviously in a very good mood after hearing this. Everyone calmed down and immediately echoed the words, praising the prince for a while.

Su Xinyi kept smiling, but he didn't expect that the first one to stand up would be Prime Minister Wang.

At this moment, everyone's eyes finally fell squarely on the Crown Prince, including Su Xinyi beside him. His Highness the Crown Prince did not change his expression and was still sitting in his seat like a gentle gentleman, not arrogant or arrogant. No, such magnanimity is truly impressive.

Everyone even discovered that the Crown Princess next to His Highness was neither arrogant nor stage-frightened. She was sitting calmly and generously next to His Highness, and she was not inferior to her.

Seeing the performance of the Crown Princess, everyone was quite surprised. There were too many rumors about this Crown Princess, especially the fact that she was recognized from the countryside and returned to the Duke of Qi's mansion.

The ladies in the back house had seen Su Xinyi a lot, but apart from a brief meeting at the prince's wedding ceremony, the courtiers were still very unfamiliar with the prince.

I thought that the princess who grew up in the countryside would either feel timid after seeing such a scene, or she would be as proud as if she had stepped onto the clouds. However, she did not expect that she was very calm and her performance was no worse than that of a famous lady from the capital.

Especially when Su Xinyi single-handedly attacked the former Duke of Qin's palace, and when she went to Yulinwei to work as a household servant, she teamed up with the prince to rob Tatar grain and grass. It can be said that she became famous in one battle.

Not to mention the stories she had to tell about her relationship with Prince Rong. Prince Rong, the unlucky prince, had suffered countless losses at the hands of the Crown Princess.

Every one of them shows that the Crown Princess has a bad temper, but now looking at the beautiful lady sitting next to the Crown Prince with a smile, it is really hard to imagine that she is the Crown Princess in the rumors.

It's very subtle.

Especially at this time, Su Xinyi behaved calmly and gracefully. Facing all kinds of looks from everyone, he could still sit upright without being affected. With this demeanor, the courtiers felt that the title of Crown Princess was not worth it. They actually complement each other on her body.

Su Xinyi was here to be the mascot today. This was her first royal banquet after marrying the crown prince. She did not seek meritorious service, but only sought no faults, so as not to embarrass His Highness.

When everyone praised the prince, the smile on her face became deeper to show that she was proud of the prince. No matter how fantastic others said, she just listened.

These civil servants all had great literary talent, and they were no less generous when it came to flattery.

Yan Junchu, who was standing by, couldn't suppress the smile on his face when he saw Su Xinyi like this. He felt that this kind of A Yuan was very fresh to him, and it was an A Yuan he had never seen before.

The hall was filled with music and laughter. The emperor was obviously very happy today, and he asked the prince to tell about the interesting things about Zhangping Prefecture's defense against the enemy.

Yan Junchu would naturally not spoil the fun, and picked up a few happy things to talk about, especially the feat of Su Xinyi burning the Tatar camp outside Yulinwei and rushing to Yunxiangwei to attack the enemy. However, Su Xinyi's name was concealed here, and Qin Guansheng and Su Qi were brought out.

The name Su Qi appeared in the ears of the ministers for the first time. Even the Duke of Qi, who had always pretended not to exist, raised his head at this time and looked at the eldest lady. The couple were a little surprised.

Of course, they knew who did this thing. They knew that Xinyi's actions could not be exposed, but they didn't expect that the prince would give the credit to Su Qi. The couple was naturally happy.

The children of their Su family are spineless.

When the name Su Qi appeared, the couple felt that many people's eyes were on them. Duke Qi suppressed his excitement. It was said that after the fourth brother left, the Duke Qi Mansion declined.

Now, hum, the descendants of their Su family have stood up again!

When the emperor heard the prince mention Su Qi, he snorted in his heart. This kid now knows to favor his own wife. Su Qi is indeed not bad, but she is still far inferior to his daughter-in-law.

Forget it, the credit of the daughter-in-law is nothing to say when it is shared with his own family.

Tsk, before the marriage, he kept saying that Su Xinyi was tough and didn't want to marry her home, but now he is protecting her?

Of course, his eyes for choosing his daughter-in-law are the best.

The emperor and his ministers got along well with each other, and the conversation was in high spirits. For a while, there was endless laughter and joy in the palace, and the singing and dancing were one after another. The mood of the people was getting higher and higher. When the banquet was halfway through, the situation in the venue was already a little chaotic. The ministers holding wine glasses were everywhere, especially many people toasted His Majesty and the prince, and there were laughter and play everywhere.

Su Xinyi thought that palace banquets were very serious, and she was also shocked to see this scene. She had never encountered it in her previous life.

The palace banquets she attended in her previous life were all New Year banquets, which were very serious. I didn’t expect that a banquet like the summer banquet would be so relaxed.

At this time, the first lady and the fourth lady had come over. Su Xinyi saw that the prince was also surrounded by courtiers. For a moment, she was afraid that he could not take care of herself, so she stood up to greet them.

"Aunt, mother." Su Xinyi smiled and called people, and led them aside to talk warmly. When she turned around, she winked at Lian Qiao and Cui Que, asking them to continue staring at the wife of Wu'an Hou and You Xiangru.

The eldest lady looked at Xinyi and said happily: "Are you happy today? Are you surprised?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "A little surprised."

The eldest lady laughed even happier when she heard this, "Xinyi, you see the famous families attending the banquet today, almost all of them are the most famous in Southern Qi. How much these famous ladies looked down on you in the past, and how disappointed they were when they saluted you today. So you don't have to be afraid, just like what happened just now is enough."

Su Xinyi understood that the eldest aunt was afraid that she would be stage fright, so she came to encourage her. She smiled and nodded in response.

The fourth lady took the opportunity to tell her daughter about the gossip of the day, and finally said worriedly: "You and His Highness must be careful. If something like this happens, I'm afraid that Concubine Li and King Xiang will suspect what you did."

Su Xinyi thought that there was no doubt that they did it, but she couldn't tell her family about it, so she just nodded and said: "Mom, don't worry, His Highness and I will be careful."

At this moment, a crisp sound was suddenly heard, as if something fell to the ground and made a shattering sound.

The noisy hall suddenly became quiet at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I have lost my manners. Please forgive me."

Su Xinyi heard a familiar voice and looked up suddenly. She saw You Xiangru standing in the hall with a look of shock and fear on her face. She looked at a loss. Now Su Xinyi finally saw her face clearly. Even though she was a beauty, she was also amazed at the sight of her, especially the look of pity with tears in her eyes, which really touched people's hearts.

There were constant exclamations in the hall, and then the emperor strode over. At this time, his expression seemed a little wrong, and his eyes fell on You Xiangru.

Su Xinyi didn't know what was wrong, and there was a bit of doubt on her face. Even if You Xiangru was a rare beauty, the emperor would not lose his composure like this.

She heard her mother sigh lightly afterwards, and she turned her head away.

The fourth lady looked at her daughter's expression and said softly, "This girl looks a bit like the late queen."

Su Xinyi's mind seemed to explode all of a sudden. She suddenly looked at the prince and saw that the smile on his face had disappeared. He stood there with a faint expression.

Su Xinyi's heart was clenched. She apologized to her mother and aunt and immediately walked towards His Highness.

"Your Highness."

Yan Junchu heard Su Xinyi's voice and lowered his head to look at her. He saw that there was worry in her eyes. He reached out and gently pinched her palm.

Su Xinyi was relieved. Is His Highness acting?

She felt a little relieved, but still a little worried. She stood beside His Highness. She could feel many eyes from all directions sweeping over His Highness, and her eyebrows could not help but frown slightly.

At this moment, Su Xinyi suddenly thought of the queen. She turned to look at the queen and saw that the queen's eyes seemed to be burning with fire. Although she quickly suppressed it, Su Xinyi had been with the queen for a long time and could still see that she should be very uneasy at this time.

Wu'an Marquis's Mansion did not care about people. She had not seen You Xiangru's true face before. Even if she had seen it, she had not seen the previous queen and would not recognize that You Xiangru was any different.

But now, I just want to curse that it's disgusting. The family that can raise Pei Nianwei's temper is really not a good thing. It's no wonder that Your Highness is estranged from Wu'an Marquis's Mansion.

"Your Highness, I'm going to see my mother." Su Xinyi was afraid that the queen would be stimulated and do something inappropriate and be criticized. Now they are on the same boat, of course, it is better to keep it stable.

Yan Junchu did not forget to act, just nodded slightly, then pulled the corner of his mouth and whispered: "Go, tell the queen not to worry, it's just a fake."

Su Xinyi nodded, quietly walked to the queen's side, looked at her and said softly: "Mother."

The queen heard Su Xinyi's voice and looked at her slightly sideways, "Why are you here?"

"Mother, I just came to say something to you, His Highness can't beat a fake, don't take it to heart."

The queen's heart sank after hearing Su Xinyi's words. Su Xinyi was not her, of course she didn't know her mood at the moment, but since the prince said so, the queen's mood was still a little better.

She stared at the distance and saw His Majesty walking in front of You Xiangru. She looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I really didn't expect that Wu'an Marquis's Mansion would have such thoughts."

"Mother, it's not the first time that Wu'an Marquis's Mansion has been indifferent. Why are you angry? It's not worth it. Besides, even if you are anxious, you shouldn't be the most anxious now." Su Xinyi looked in the direction of Li Guifei with a hint of meaning.

The Queen followed Su Xinyi's gaze and looked in the direction of Li Guifei, and sure enough, she saw Li Guifei's face that was almost out of control.

It's true. She is the Queen of the Palace, not a concubine who serves people with her beauty. Even if You Xiangru can enter the palace with her face, the one who is most threatened is not her, but Li Guifei!

The Queen felt relieved instantly, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "You are good at persuading people with your mouth. Okay, I know, you can go back."

Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, and quietly returned to the prince.

As soon as she walked back, she saw that His Majesty had turned back. She saw that His Majesty's expression was calm and composed, and there was nothing unusual about it, nor could she tell what he was thinking about You Xiangru.

The banquet continued, but the mood of the people was no longer the same as before.

She looked at the wife of Marquis Wu'an and You Xiangru beside her. You Xiangru lowered her head and could not see her expression, but the wife of Marquis Wu'an looked very excited, which really made her uncomfortable.

She felt a little unfair for the former queen and the prince. This was a real relative, but he stabbed the most cruel knife.

Dog thing!

"What did you say?"

Su Xinyi listened to the voice of the prince and realized that she had actually cursed out her heart. She couldn't help but touch her nose and stopped talking.

Yan Junchu suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, raised his sleeves to cover his face, coughed lightly, and then said: "I heard everything."

Su Xinyi: ...

Actually, you don't have to say it.

Okay, just think of it as entertaining His Majesty.

The banquet continued, and no matter how lively the singing and dancing were, it couldn't stop everyone from being excited about what happened before.

The Princess of Pingjing County was sitting behind her desk at this time. She used to have a good relationship with the Princess of Guangping County, and the two of them often got together, but after the marriage failed, the Princess of Guangping County now looked at her like an enemy, and she naturally wouldn't get close to her.

Now looking at Su Xinyi sitting next to the prince, she felt even more upset. She once thought that Su Xinyi wanted to get close to her son, but she didn't know that she just used her son as a stepping stone, otherwise how could she sit on the position of the Crown Princess?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, but what could she do if she was angry? Now she had to bow down to Su Xinyi when she saw her, and she had to hold back her anger.

Su Xinyi looked at You Xiangru and didn't raise her head until the end of the banquet. From this point of view, she was really a well-behaved and somewhat timid girl.

Su Xinyi didn't dare to look at His Majesty now, for fear that His Majesty would notice something, so she could only say to the prince beside her: "Do you think You Xiangru will enter the palace?"

Yan Junchu played with the wine glass in his hand, turning his slender fingers around, and after a while he said: "There is a great hope."

Su Xinyi sighed lightly, "This is going to be lively."

"If she enters the palace, I guess she will find you, so you should be careful then." Yan Junchu warned.

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Why are you looking for me? Doing such a shameless thing, ordinary people are embarrassed to see us, right?"

Yan Junchu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xinyi, "Are they ordinary people?"

Su Xinyi suddenly realized, "Yes, they are people with face as thick as a city wall."

Before the banquet ended, Su Xinyi finally got the opportunity to secretly look at His Majesty's expression, but still couldn't see anything.

At this moment, His Majesty's face overlapped with the face she remembered in her previous life.

Su Xinyi was shocked and quickly withdrew her gaze.

His Majesty led the courtiers to leave, followed by the Queen and the concubines. Su Xinyi said goodbye to her family and left with the others.

The wife of Marquis Wu'an and You Xiangru also left in a hurry without looking at the eyes of the people around them.

Mrs. Wang sighed softly, looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "I never thought they were so bold to do this at the banquet."

They have no shame at all.

I just pity His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
