Dressed as cannon fodder to raise cubs for the villain prince [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 69 Chrysanthemum Banquet
A few days later, it coincided with Xiumu, and the empress held a banquet in the imperial garden of the palace. There were many noble ladies from the aristocratic families in Beijing, as well as unmarried and promising civil and military officials from the poor family in the court.
The day was sunny and sunny, and since the Chrysanthemum Banquet was used, the imperial garden was naturally filled with all kinds of precious chrysanthemums.Appreciating chrysanthemums, reciting poems, tasting chrysanthemum wine, and the plump hairy crabs urgently transported from Yangzhou area are simply beautiful.
However, the hairy crabs didn't seem to be properly arranged. Like Shen Chu and Su Zhan, they only cared about eating crabs at all, and they didn't care about the girls who wanted to see them, making the girls who were interested in them anxious secretly.
The empress sat on the main seat in the middle, with the peacock feather fan on the green screen behind her, the palace servants presented the fattest drunk crabs, and the maid beside her scolded, "The empress dislikes these smelly things the most, so hurry up and take them away. "
The court lady's voice was relatively fierce, and Shen Chu was seated closer to the front. After hearing this, she couldn't help stiffening her hands, secretly thinking that those who like fishy things are really sorry.
The queen glanced at them, waved her hands and said, "Look at Master Shen, they like to eat, bring it to them."
The palace maid next to her snorted coldly, "Sure enough, you can't get on the stage."
The queen glanced at her, and said coldly, "You have been by Bengong's side for so many years, you should know what to say and what not to say."
The palace maid hurriedly bowed her head to beg for mercy, "I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have exceeded my duty."
The queen picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, "If you don't know the seriousness next time, I will have no choice but to send you away."
The palace lady panicked, "Yes." But she was full of surprises in her heart.In her opinion, even if Shen Chu won the number one prize in high school, he would be just a kabuki-born bastard, and he dared to speak contemptuously because he knew that the queen would definitely not take him seriously.But I don't want even the queen to be so careful with this bitch, it seems that today is different from the past.
The episode here is just a moment of effort.Since the meeting was held in the name of the Chrysanthemum Banquet, some extravagance was inevitable.
First, let everyone here, regardless of gender, compose poems with the theme of chrysanthemums, and first look at talent.Then let the interested men and women perform their talents in public. If the performance is good, the queen will not only reward you, but also get a precious chrysanthemum, which can be given to other people present on the spot. If the other party is willing, you can take it But the queen came forward to complete the marriage.
Shen Chu hadn't intended to see each other at first, and he was so absorbed in gnawing on crabs during the poem-writing session that he didn't even write a poem.But this hairy crab is really delicious, he is not willing to give up this worldly delicacy to make chrysanthemum poems for nothing.
Unexpectedly, Su Zhan next to him was so ignorant of style, and he was more serious about eating than him.
With half of the hairy crab in one hand, Shen Chu ate a few mouthfuls of crab paste and crab roe, and without knowing it, there was still some foam on his lips. He leaned his elbow to Su Zhan and said, "Ziming, the third princess has been secretly watching you for a long time, you Just focus on eating!"
Su Zhan glanced at the third princess in bewilderment, then quickly turned his head, buried lower, and ate even more urgently, even chewed and swallowed the better crab shells, his whole face quickly Turning red, he hesitated and said, "Brother Shen, don't make fun of me."
Seeing his uncontrollably amusing appearance, Shen Chu found it very amused, and leaned closer and whispered, "The third princess is as beautiful as a flower, why is Ziming hesitating, why don't you confess boldly?"
Su Zhan blushed and said, "Brother Shen, don't talk nonsense, the third princess has golden branches and jade leaves, so don't make fun of it casually."
Shen Chu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Since when did you become so serious? It's not like you at all. Could it be that during the days when I'm not in the capital, there have been a lot of unreasonable things between you and the third princess?" Stories known to outsiders?"
Su Zhan looked at him in astonishment, and only said "How did you know?" But he didn't say it, but avoided, "Even if it's an ordinary girl's family, it's not good to ruin her reputation at will, let alone It's the third princess, brother Shen, don't make wild guesses."
Shen Chu pretended to be hurt and said, "Hey, it turns out that Zi Ming doesn't trust me so much, it seems that I'm being self-indulgent."
Su Zhan: "No, no, it's just that there are too many people at the moment. If Brother Shen has time, I will ask Brother Shen for advice."
"Ever since Brother Shen came back from Yangzhou, Brother Yu sees that you and His Royal Highness the King of Qin are in perfect harmony, so I will be able to give you some advice."
Shen Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pointed at him and said, "Okay, you Su Ziming, you've learned it badly!" It seemed that he was also interested in the third princess, otherwise he wouldn't defend it everywhere.
Su Zhan raised his chin to Shen Chu and signaled, "Brother Shen, you can't take care of yourself—"
Shen Chu turned his head, only to see a woman in a goose-yellow dress walking towards him, handing him a bright red lantern chrysanthemum, and said shyly, "Little girl has admired Mr. Shen for a long time. I also hope Master Shen can accept it."
Shen Chu immediately petrified in place. Although the woman only spoke a few words, on this occasion, under the eyes of everyone, it was no different from the most daring confession.
Although refusing would greatly damage this woman's reputation, Shen Chu could not do anything against her will just to take care of her face.
He got up and saluted, and said solemnly, "I have my own heart, and I have failed the kindness of Miss."
This woman had mustered up a lot of courage to come forward, she was unwilling and embarrassed when Shen Chu said that, she gritted her teeth and tried her best not to let the tears stay in her eyes, and said softly, "Little girl I don't take the liberty to disturb you, but I hope the young master can finally get married with his sweetheart and lover."
As he spoke, he turned and prepared to leave, but at the end he couldn't help but turn around and said, "It's just that Mr. Shen has his own heart, it's better not to come to this kind of occasion again, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and make others feel sad. "
"囧" was capitalized on Shen Chu's face, and his forehead was almost forced to sweat, and he thought to himself that this woman looked like she was going to cry for him so easily, it really made him sad.He couldn't see girls crying the most, especially because of him, he felt as if he had done something heinous.
Except for Su Zhan, the people around couldn't hear them at all, they could only see the woman sending flowers to Shen Chu but being rejected.Many of the women who had a crush on Shen Chufang were gloating and caring about Shen Chufang's misfortune. Of course, there were also some women who were not interested in Shen Chu, and were just watching the excitement.
However, it also discouraged many women from wanting to make a move. Even if they wanted to, they didn't want to be laughed at in public.
Shen Chu sat down and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Su Zhan, "It seems that all the women here are not easy to provoke, they are bold and direct, and they cry easily."
Su Zhan said with a puzzled face, "Miss Lu is so beautiful and talented, it's amazing that Brother Shen refused without blinking an eye."
"I really don't understand why you let the warm and soft beautiful girl go, and like that iceberg prince."
Shen Chu was surprised, "That was Miss Lu just now? The only daughter of Lu Xiang's family?"
Su Zhan nodded, and said strangely, "You don't even know Ms. Lu, do you? At the Qionglin Banquet last time, Ms. Lu's peony poem won the leader of the lady group."
Shen Chu: "But that time through the screen, how could I know what she looked like?" If he had known it was Lu Xiang's young daughter, he would have refused more tactfully.Everyone in the capital knows that Lu Xiang regards this young girl as a treasure, not only Lu Xiang, but also three older brothers, all of whom are not easy to provoke.
He made Miss Lu cry this time, and he felt that he might have to wear shoes for a long time.
Su Zhan came over and joked, "Why, do you know that Ms. Lu regretted it?"
Shen Chu: "You still have the mind to joke around, I can't afford to offend Miss Lu's father and three elder brothers."
Su Zhan muttered, "You can't afford to provoke me? I can't afford to provoke the third princess's father and brothers. You only know how to tease me."
Shen Chu said, "I was wrong, Master Ziming has a lot of people, don't be as knowledgeable as me." He patted Su Zhan's shoulder, "The most difficult thing in this world to marry a wife is a son-in-law."
"But so what, if you like someone, you have to shrink back from this difficulty, and it's not like you like it too much."
Su Zhan's eyes lit up, and suddenly he felt a sense of enlightenment, and said excitedly, "Brother Shen, you are right! It was the stupid brother who wanted to quarrel before, and the third princess is such a good girl, she can take a fancy to me because I have been cultivating for several lifetimes." Fufen, I'm still hesitating here, not like a man."
Then she stood up, picked a purple dragon's claw chrysanthemum nearby, walked up to the third princess, and handed the flowers to him, but didn't say a word, just stood there blankly.
The third princess also stood up, her face blushed immediately, and she was no longer as free and easy as usual. After taking the dragon claw chrysanthemum shyly and timidly, she turned around.
The queen was dumbfounded, she didn't expect that she just held a chrysanthemum banquet and gave away her only precious daughter under her knees.Those who should be watched did not move, and those who were not prepared did it by themselves.
In fact, he thinks that Su Zhan is pretty good, with a softer personality and excellent talent. If Changle marries him, he will definitely not suffer much.
It's just that in my heart, no matter how hard I feel, I don't want to marry my daughter off like this.
The others present were even more stunned. They had no idea that Su Zhan handed the flowers to Princess Changle just like a stunned young man, and Princess Changle agreed.
In particular, many young masters who were interested in Princess Changle, who were secretly observing from the sidelines, were preempted by others, and they couldn't help but feel a little upset.
Not to mention how sincere these princes of the family are to the third princess, but with the status of the only eldest princess of the third princess, and being deeply loved by the emperor and empress, if they can marry back home, the family will definitely rise to a higher level.Therefore, in their view, Su Zhan easily won the heart of Princess Changle, and they couldn't help being a little bit unwilling.
Someone stood up and said, "I heard that Mr. Su has long been famous in Sichuan, and his literary talent is outstanding. I don't know how good his boxing skills are. I want to ask for advice."
Shen Chu was almost speechless, and Xin Dao said that the methods used by this person were too low-level. It was obvious that he was looking for faults when he asked Su Zhan to learn his boxing skills. Such a lame reason was given so uprightly. Maybe the family has the confidence , of course, is more likely to be a fool.
Su Zhan looked embarrassed, he really didn't know how to punch.But at this time, he refused, and it seemed too embarrassing, so he said it bravely in front of his sweetheart.
Seeing Su Zhan's hesitation, the man couldn't help but feel more complacent, as if he still wanted to provoke, but the third princess stood up and said, "Let me compete with you instead of Ziming."
Shen Chu couldn't help but secretly applauded the three princesses in his heart, it's really heroic, women don't give way to their eyebrows!
The day was sunny and sunny, and since the Chrysanthemum Banquet was used, the imperial garden was naturally filled with all kinds of precious chrysanthemums.Appreciating chrysanthemums, reciting poems, tasting chrysanthemum wine, and the plump hairy crabs urgently transported from Yangzhou area are simply beautiful.
