Chapter 138 Palace Banquet
Thinking of this, he sighed several times in his heart.

Manager Shen wanted to come and see the scenery of Da Qi, but His Highness is not in the capital, and he doesn't know whether he can come back today.

"By the way, if Mr. Zhong sees Liu Zheng, please tell him that I will go to Youjian Shop later and bring back some jewelry from the Western Regions."

"Okay." Zhong Jing agreed.

After leaving the pastry shop, he said goodbye to Shen You and sent the servant to Liu Zheng.

With such a big thing happening in the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have also received the news.

As a subject, he had to report to Manager Shen when he met him today.

Soon, the palace banquet had begun, and the carriages of each family were parked outside the palace gate. Wen Zhi's rather ostentatious carriage just drove in.

No one dared to stop her as Shen You was sitting inside eating cake.

The softness of the cake is a little less than that of modern steamed cake, but the restoration is okay. Given the conditions in ancient times, it was definitely not that delicate.

"Why don't I wear a veil? When you go in, everyone will definitely look at you."

Shen You looked at the brightly lit hall and listened to the sounds of stringed instruments. When he first entered the palace, he was excitedly admiring the palace architecture. As he got closer to where the banquet was being held, he thought of that scene.

If you are not a social leader, who can resist it?

Wen Zhi pursed his lips and said sincerely, "Come in with me, everyone will see what you wear."

".That makes sense."

"The palace banquets in Da Qi are similar to those recorded in the books during the Tang and Song dynasties."

His words touched Shen You's heart, "Let's go in now!"

Anyway, few people here know her.

As long as she is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed!

"Okay." Wen Zhi smiled and stretched out his hand for her to hold.

The body temperature that did not belong to her in her palm made Shen You stunned for a moment, and she felt inexplicably nervous.

Then, look away.

Shaking hands is just a common greeting etiquette. When the studio held an exhibition, so many people shook hands with her. It’s not a big deal. Don’t think too much 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 beside him.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Shen You noticed that the person who was joking with her just now had completely changed his aura.

The last time I saw him so oppressive was when he first helped her guests clean up the aliens in [Lancheng].

The last time was the night we first met.

Shen You glanced at the old emperor sitting on the high throne. He was wearing clothes made of fire-washed cloth and a pair of cotton slippers made of fire-washed cloth.

The painting style is quite peculiar.

Next to the main hall is a set of chime instruments! The whole hall is filled with warm fragrance, and it is not cold at all when you come in.

The palace banquet depicted in the ancient paintings was not deceiving her!
It is also true that there is no ugly official.

The old emperor was also looking at Shen You. Is this the woman?
He received the news in the afternoon.

Until now, it is still not certain whether it was really someone the national master liked, or if the national master found someone to act.

Yunzhou has been in chaos for too long, so it's not surprising that no merchant woman was found.

He didn't understand, when did the national teacher develop a love brain?
The secret was kept secret so well that after so long, the spies sent out couldn't find any information at all.

Having weaknesses is a good thing, as long as you hold this woman hostage.
Amid the cautious and inquiring gazes from those around them, Shen You followed Wen Zhi and sat down.

Located just below the emperor.

Wen Zhi did not salute, and neither did Shen You.

When Liu Zheng, who was sitting in the back, saw Shen You, he was stunned and blinked to make sure he was not seeing things.

Mr. Zhong only said that Manager Shen had come to Da Qi, and did not say that she would come to the palace banquet.

Liu Yunyan noticed her cousin's strangeness and followed his gaze, her eyes fell on Shen You. She didn't know why, but she always felt that this woman was different from other people in the capital. She was not like those people in high positions who always looked down on others.

She came back to her senses and whispered to Liu Zheng, "Even if you think the girl is pretty, you can't do this! She was brought here by the Imperial Master."

The Liu family is now walking on thin ice, so it’s better for them to be more restrained.

"It's not what you think." Liu Zheng shook his head. The identity of Shopkeeper Shen must not be revealed. "I have seen that girl in Yunzhou before."

As he said this, he took a look and saw that Prince Cheng was sitting in the seat where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was supposed to sit.

Next to her is the princess.

Li Jing's graceful and elegant face froze for a moment. It had nothing to do with anything else. She was a princess, and it would be a honor for anyone her father wanted to marry.

Of course she would feel embarrassed that the other party brought a merchant girl from Yunzhou to the palace banquet.

The woman was wearing a treasure from the Western Regions on her head, something that even her mother didn't have.

The other two people on the field 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'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 glowing hairpin, so I must ask her for how much she would be willing to sell it to me when I get the chance!
At the same time, Li Heng, who had not yet entered the capital, received the news and changed his expression on the spot. He ordered his men to ride as fast as they could to attend the palace banquet.

The subordinates who received the order were wondering, didn’t His Highness say before that he would not return to attend the palace banquet?
Why did he suddenly change? His Highness's expression was very ugly, even uglier than when he was tripped up by the people from the Imperial Concubine's mother's family.

At the palace banquet, the music sounded again. Shen You looked at the musician playing the piano and the dancers dancing gracefully.

It's simply a visual feast.

No wonder the ancient nobles liked to watch singing and dancing. Who wouldn’t like it? The music is nice and the dance is beautiful.

And the plates on the table, perfectly glazed, good stuff.

Shen You suppressed his sneaky look that wanted to clear out everything in this place and asked cautiously,

"Are these things not poisonous?"

"No." Wen Zhi gave her a reassuring look.

Shen You ate the ancient palace banquet with confidence. It didn't require any high technology or hard work, but it was quite delicious.

She was sitting here. If it were someone else, those present would have already spoken up to test the waters, but the person next to her was the Imperial Master.

No one dares to be the first to take action.

Finally, 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 members of the family also become active and respond one after another.

"Yes, I didn't expect there would be a hairpin that can glow. It really opened my eyes."

"I don't know where you bought it."

When it comes to making money through advertising, Shen You becomes interested.

"It's something from the Western Regions. It uses a kind of luminous mineral that is unique to the area, but the luminescence time is limited. It's sold in Youjian Shop."

With this kind of small wick, no one knows when it will break, and the lighting time cannot be guaranteed.

After hearing what she said, the faces of several young ladies and ladies from aristocratic families brightened up.

I can't wait to rush to the store to buy it now.

There aren't many good things in "Youjian Shop" every time. If I could buy such a special hairpin and take it out to a dinner party, it would be so beautiful just thinking about it.

Before the banquet was over, a young man from a noble family came to find Liu Zheng.

However, by 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 gaze.

If you don't leave now, someone will definitely come and ask you questions.
