Chapter 294 Hello Adoptive Father, Goodbye Adoptive Father (40)

Xiao Xingchen almost kissed Shen Chuci until Shen Chuci was having trouble breathing before finally letting go of her. Before the two of them could say anything, they heard hurried footsteps coming towards the rockery where they were.

Xiao Xingchen looked at Shen Chuci's lips that were kissed as plump as ripe cherries, his eyes darkened, he quickly reached out his hand to hold Shen Chuci behind him, and turned to face the people who rushed over.

The people who came in a hurry were Liu Dazhuang and the others. When Xiao Xingchen saw them, his tense arms relaxed a little. He just pretended not to see their playful eyes, and asked in a normal tone, "What's the matter?"

Liu Dazhuang looked at the faceless Shen Chuci who was blocked by Xiao Xingchen, and he didn't reveal why the two of them disappeared just now, but said: "King Qing and the fourth prince have returned to the banquet. The emperor sent someone to deliver a message. Said to let everyone go to Qiankun Palace."

Xiao Xingchen nodded: "Qiankun Palace?"

Liu Dazhuang said "Yes": "It seems that there are quite a few people coming this time, so we opened up the largest palace in the palace."

Xiao Xingchen nodded with a gentle expression, and left without saying anything, holding Shen Chuci's hand.

Liu Dazhuang and the others followed behind him. Although curious eyes kept looking between the two of them, no one dared to ask what they were doing here just now.

Liu Dazhuang walked a few steps behind Mo Xu.

Ever since Xiao Xingchen brought Shen Chuci out of Mo Xu's mansion, Mo Xu's mood was not quite right. Liu Dazhuang was half a person who watched him grow up. A little helpless, but it's hard to say anything.

"Mo Xu, you still have a bright future. You and the general will never be the same kind of people again." Liu Dazhuang thought about it, and finally he could only think of this sentence.

Mo Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded to show that he knew.

Seeing that he didn't look like he was perfunctory, Liu Dazhuang was relieved. After patting Mo Xu on the shoulder, he took a few big strides and walked closely behind Xiao Xingchen.

The Qiankun Palace is the largest palace in the entire palace except the Qianlong Palace where the emperor went to court. Because the most decorated is the most magnificent, it is usually used as the venue for state banquets.

This time, for the blind date banquet of the two princes, the emperor specially held this banquet here, which can be said to be very embarrassing for the two princes.

As soon as Xiao Xingchen and the others arrived, they were directly taken to their seats by the court lady. This time, the seats were arranged very casually. Xiao Xingchen and his group were all sitting together. The two princes and King Qing were seated at On a slightly higher platform, the seats of the emperor and several concubines are on a higher platform.

Shen Chuci looked at it layer by layer, and felt that this kind of seating arrangement like a lecture theater really made the viewers very uncomfortable.

To be honest, it is only about the height of the seats of the princes and emperors. If they want to say something to the people below on a whim while they are eating, the people below will look up and see layers of layers first. double chin.

Shen Chuci couldn't help but be thankful that she was sitting next to Xiao Xingchen. If someone looked up and looked at the double chin, this scene would make her feel a little drunk.

There was already a lot of chatting in Biqing Garden before, so this time after the officials entered the venue, they didn't say any more nonsense. Instead, the topics of discussion began to revolve around the blind date banquet for a while.

"The daughter of Zuo Taishi's family is probably going to take a prince and concubine back tonight. The Zuo Taishi is a high-ranking prince. If he can get his support, no matter whether it is the fourth prince or the second prince, he should be a big prince." help."

Shen Chuci's hearing is not bad, but when he heard some officials on the opposite side start whispering about these issues before the princes arrived, he suddenly felt even more boring.

I don't know when the assassination tonight is, whether it is the beginning of the banquet or when it is about to end, Shen Chuci has no interest in this kind of banquet, and hearing them talking about various topics at this time makes people speechless , she really has no interest in sitting down.

Xiao Xingchen knew what she was thinking at a glance, so he had to find a way to divert her attention.

He still knows about his little girl, don't care if this is the palace, if it really makes her anxious, then maybe she will overthrow the palace by then.

"You went out with King Qing before, where did he take you?" Xiao Xingchen thought for a while, then picked a topic that Shen Chuci should be interested in and asked.

Shen Chuci said lightly "Oh", and he was more interested in talking to Xiao Xingchen, so he started to talk about the places he had visited with King Qing, but he didn't say what she and King Qing overheard. those words.

After a while, bursts of fragrant wind hit.

Shen Chuci moved his nose in surprise and sniffed vigorously, pulled Xiao Xingchen's sleeve in surprise and asked, "Brother Xingchen, smell it, does it smell fragrant?"

Liu Dazhuang on the side finally couldn't hold back a chuckle when he heard this: "It's the first time for Miss Jiaojiao to participate. If you come here a few more times, you'll know that it's not a scent but a trouble."

Shen Chuci was very curious: "Trouble?"

Liu Dazhuang nodded, seeing that the officials sitting opposite had turned their heads to look at the entrance of the main hall, and immediately pouted at Shen Chuci: "Look."

Shen Chuci looked in the direction he pointed.

"The Emperor is here—"

The eunuch's shrill voice almost resounded through the hall, followed closely behind the emperor by concubines and other concubines, Shen Chuci followed Xiao Xingchen and slowly knelt down on one knee, raised his head slightly, and saw a bright yellow dress slowly walked in from the gate of the main hall.

Song Tianhuang changed into a suit of formal attire for a while. The bright yellow color made his haggard face look very majestic. Not far behind him were two very elegant and exquisitely dressed people. The beauties who survived seemed to be his two concubines.

Song Tianhuang took the two concubines to the high position and sat down, followed by the second prince and three brothers.

After the three of them also sat down, Song Tianhuang called everyone to stand up.

Shen Chuci breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked towards the entrance of the main hall with some curiosity.

It's not that Shen Chuci is curious, but that everyone in the hall, except Xiao Xingchen and Mo Xu, are still looking at the entrance of the hall.

Shen Chuci thought of the increasingly thick fragrance in the hall, and was even more curious about what the fragrance was.
