Shu Yao wore a lotus root powder long skirt and a pear yellow long jacket today.She has always liked bright and ostentatious colors, but because of the prince's wedding, she restrained herself a lot, and attended the banquet with all the female relatives.

Even so, it's hard to keep a low profile.As soon as he was seated, many noble ladies came forward to chat with Shu Yao, it was hard for people not to notice.

Emperor Yong suppressed Qin Yanghou, but rewarded Shu Yao repeatedly, which shows his preference for Shu Yao.Paying attention to Princess Huaxi means respecting Emperor Yong. Such a simple truth, the nobles of the aristocratic family can naturally understand, so even if the relationship between the aristocratic family and Emperor Yong has become a little stiff, they will not lose their manners on such an important occasion.

Zheng Yueyao's grandfather, Zheng Lian, a colleague of Zhongshu's sect, also put on a festive red robe, and was the first official to accept the congratulations.

Originally, Xie Hong, the elder of Xie Guo, sat in this seat at the palace banquet.Now the Xie family can't marry the princess, but the Zheng family has a princess, and this position belongs to Zheng Lian.

Zheng Lian toasted with the powerful officials of the aristocratic family one by one, his face was flushed, and he, who was always unhappy, had a rare joy on his face.

After the fall of the previous dynasty, the surnames of Li and Wang declined, and Emperor Yong Taizu founded the country. In order to appease these old families, Wei, Xie, Cui, Lu, and Zheng were the new "five surnames and seven wangs".Although the status of the nobility has not changed, the internal status has changed greatly. The Zheng family has changed from the past, reduced to the last of the five surnames, and suffered a lot of cold reception.

During Taizu Yong's reign, all the princes married girls from the Xie and Cui families. Even the fifth prince, who was the least favored, was preempted by the Dou family, and the Zheng family always felt ashamed.

Fortunately, Empress Dou Yunzhi was savvy enough, remembering the Zheng family's favor to the Dou family, and arranged the marriage between Zheng Yueyao and the crown prince early, the Zheng family became proud and became the head of the country.

The Fifth Prince Wei Pei's ascension to the throne was a concession that the dignitaries of the family had to make after the struggle for succession.Although they were somewhat involuntary, they could not deny that another person ascending the throne may not bring about the stable situation of Dayong in the past 20 years.

Looking at Shu Yao in the crowd, Zheng Lian slightly narrowed his eyes, showing deep thought.

Emperor Yong is an emperor who is aware of current affairs. In the past so many years, he has gotten along very well with their families.As long as he was willing to make concessions on Shu Yao's affairs, he would not have conflicts with these old officials repeatedly.

Emperor Yong should know that this throne was brought to him by the aristocratic family.For a niece, she had conflicts with the aristocratic family many times, which was really putting the cart before the horse and being extremely confused.

On the other side, a man in sapphire blue clothes raised a wine glass, with the corners of his lips curled up, toasting Qin Yanghou, "Master Hou, long time no see."

Qin Yanghou raised his glass with him and sighed: "Nephew, I already know about your father's illness. Haven't you found a cure yet?"

"No. Life is impermanent, the road always has to move forward, and my father has taken it lightly, so please don't worry about it, Lord Hou. Today is the day of the prince's great joy, so I won't say these words."

The man drank the wine in his glass, his eyes inadvertently fell on the young girl who was surrounded by him in the distance, and a smile overflowed from his lips, "After a few years, the little sister of the princess has grown up so much?"

Qin Yanghou smiled, "Yes."

The man inadvertently said: "I heard earlier that the sister of the princess has a fiancé, can this marriage be settled now?"

Qin Yanghou's gaze was a bit complicated, "That's not the fiancé, it's a long story.... In short, the Holy Majesty has no such intentions, my nephew should not ask."

The man nodded his head, but his eyes flashed with deep meaning.

After Shu Yao finished exchanging greetings with the lady, she rubbed the corners of her mouth stiff with a smile.It is said that for this wedding, the Ministry of Rites started preparations two months ago, getting married is really tiring.

Li Mingji was on duty outside the hall, but she couldn't find him.Alas, I really want the wedding to be over soon so that she can go back home to rest early.

Princess Jiayi didn't know what she saw, her expression became ugly, and she said in a low voice, "That fellow Zhao Wenrui came to the banquet."

Shu Yao didn't remember when she met this person, but Song Zhen reminded her: "Princess, it's Changping Hou Shizi. A few years ago, Changping Hou got a strange disease and couldn't get out of bed. Many famous doctors couldn't cure him. I came to the capital to pay homage to him on his behalf."

Marquis of Changping, Zhao family.

Shu Yao finally remembered.

Princess Yongning and Emperor Yong's biological mother was surnamed Zhao. She was sent to the harem because of her youth and beauty. She was once favored by the late emperor. After giving birth to Princess Yongning, she was named Concubine Zhao.

It's just that the late emperor's harem was abundant, and there were countless young and beautiful concubines, so within two years he became tired of Concubine Zhao.It is said that when Concubine Zhao gave birth to Emperor Yong, the first emperor didn't pay a visit, and asked the servants to draft a word "Pei" as the name of the prince according to the order of the five elements of the prince's name. end.

Unexpectedly, when Emperor Yong ascended the throne and conferred the title of Concubine Zhao as the Empress Dowager of Yanqing, the Zhao family became the mother clan of Emperor Yong and was granted the title of Marquis of Changping.This eldest son is the eldest son of Marquis Changping, and is of the same generation as Shu Yao, so she should also be called cousin.

"Why do you have a festival with him?"

"What do you mean 'also'!" Princess Jiayi dissatisfied, "I think his eyes are dirty and make people uncomfortable. Shu Yao, he is looking at you again, let's stay away from him."

After Princess Jiayi finished speaking, Zhao Wenrui came over with a wine glass on her back, and smiled at Shu Yao, "Sister princess, long time no see."

Marquis Changping's fief is adjacent to Marquis Qin Yang's fief, and the mansion is also close to each other. When Shu Yao was young, the two families often walked around.But later Changpinghou's family returned to the fief, while Qinyanghou stayed in the capital, and it was difficult to see each other during the holidays.

Shu Yao clinked glasses with Zhao Wenrui nonchalantly: "Cousin Zhao."

"My sister still remembers me?" Zhao Wenrui was surprised, with joy flashing in his eyes, "It's been so many years, my sister has grown a lot taller and more beautiful."

"The wedding party is coming," Princess Jiayi stopped in front of Shu Yao, avoiding Zhao Wenrui's scrutiny, "Yaoyao, shall we go?"

Shu Yao also didn't like Zhao Wenrui's ambiguous attitude, so she put an undrinked wine glass on the table, "Cousin Zhao, excuse me."

After she left, Zhao Wenrui picked up the cup she touched, feeling the faint fragrance left by the girl, and his eyes gradually became greedy.

The Zhao family was originally a local tyrant, and they returned to the fiefdom because they thought the capital had too many rules.Although Zhao Wenrui is unmarried, there are many concubines in the backyard. He is not taboo about meat and vegetables, besides beauties, he also raised many young ladies.

Princess Huaxi was born in pink and jade carvings when she was young, but now she has developed facial features, and she is a rare beauty.It's a pity that she was arrogant when she was a child, no one could stand her temper except Xie Yanzhou, and Zhao Wenrui didn't want to provoke her.

Unexpectedly, this marriage did not work out.

Zhao Wenrui didn't expect to gain so much from going to Beijing this time, and his heart became more and more joyful.

He stroked the edge of the wine glass, looking for the saliva left by the girl, but his wrist went numb, and he accidentally dropped the wine glass to the ground, spilling the wine all over his body.

Zhao Wenrui cursed in a low voice, and asked the palace servants to take him to change clothes.

Not far away, Li Mingji's eyes were dim.
