After the performance, Yue Bei Shu Shi Shiran walked to Si Yiluo and stood beside him, helping her to add tea and wine.
Other than these, the movements are nothing out of the ordinary.
She and Xiang Xiao stopped talking.
The maids filed onto the stage carrying delicacies and sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing.
"Today is a family banquet. There are no kings and ministers here, only father and son. Don't leave the dishes aside. Eat when you need to eat, drink when you need to drink, don't be restrained!"
Emperor Yao took the lead in picking up a piece of fish and put it into the queen's bowl, and then everyone moved their chopsticks.
It is said that Emperor Yao was suspected of being seriously ill and was worried about putting his sons and brothers in the fiefdom, so he violated the ancestral system and detained them all in the capital. He did not establish a prince and did not give anyone real power, but he also hoped that his sons and brothers would show brotherhood and respect. heartwarming scene.
The banquet in this situation is comparable to a Shura banquet.
People don't talk about government affairs, men don't talk about concubines and women, women don't talk about household chores, and children don't dare to play around. One sentence can have seven or eight interpretations.
They were secretly targeting each other, but everyone seemed to be smiling and harmonious.
The banquet didn't last long before Si Yiluo felt tired.
Shen Moran will have to face this situation every day from now on, wearing a mask to live his life.
"The seventh brother and sister are dressed up beautifully today. The hair and face are made of gemstones from Nanyang. Isn't it specially customized by Jubao Pavilion?"
Bao Wanyu didn't know where she got the little story between Zhou Yu and Shen Moran, so she didn't look anywhere else and kept staring at her.
She wanted Shen Moran to praise her, and then she could show off her husband's love to her.
Shen Moran put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "The emperor's sister-in-law has good eyesight. This set on my head is made by a special master using rubies given by His Highness before the wedding. If the emperor's sister-in-law likes it, let the five emperor brothers also do it for the emperor." My sister-in-law will make a set!"
Bao Wanyu is wearing a hair crown made of pearls. It looks good, but it looks cheap compared to rubies. But her husband personally selected it for her when he went shopping with her, and she wanted to show it in front of her. I had a sense of superiority, but I didn’t expect to be instantly outclassed.
Zhou Yu's biological mother came from a humble background, and without the support of his maternal family, he was short of money. After establishing the government, he did run some shops, but they were under other people's names without his own initiative, so the income naturally did not go to the government.
All his money is spent on key places, to build relationships and win people's hearts.
Shen Moran knew this very well.
Even though he was running a shop, he was still in a tight situation, and the money he earned was far from enough to win over women's hearts. So he liked to attack women's hearts, buy some gadgets, and pretend to be affectionate to make women fall for her.
Bao Wanyu, just like her in her previous life, thought that Zhou Yu loved her very much.
Mrs. Bao Ge has been immersed in official circles all her life. She has never suffered any material injustice when she was in her parents' family. The Bao family's standards for raising daughters and granddaughters are based on the standards of the middle palace.
Bao Wanyu was considered generous when she was in the boudoir, but after just a few days, she was coaxed by Zhou Yu's sweet words and became sour and jealous.
She pouted and said nothing. Zhou Yu glanced at Shen Moran. The girl was dressed in a bright red palace dress, and the gold jewelry mainly made of rubies made her elegant.
At this kind of palace banquet, even he would inevitably be nervous, but she was able to do it with ease, leisurely and indifferent, as if this was her home court. It was indeed so beautiful that it was hard to control herself.
Compared with her nobility, Bao Wanyu lags far behind in terms of dress and temperament, and looks petty.
But Bao Wanyu was his true concubine. He comforted her softly in her ear: "Ruby is too gaudy. I like elegant and refined ones. Your dress today matches your temperament very well. My husband likes it very much."
Bao Wanyu's cheeks were dyed with a light pink color, she looked at him lovingly with her eyes, and smiled shyly.
After Zhou Yu coaxed Bao Wanyu, he looked up at Shen Moran. She had already looked away and looked away, and he happened to meet Zhou Zhan's eyes.
Zhou Zhan smiled at him.
"Fifth brother, I didn't know that the emperor's sister-in-law liked these things. My uncle gave them to me to relieve my boredom when I was a child... There are still some in the warehouse at the house. I will ask my servants to deliver them to the house later."
"Then why are you embarrassed..."
Zhou Yu secretly hates himself, why doesn't he have a prominent mother's family? He can't afford the things that others can do to relieve their boredom. He has encountered obstacles along the way, trying to please people everywhere, and trampling his dignity to the ground... Sooner or later, one day , he wants everyone to crawl at his feet!
"Thanks in advance then."
The others stayed far away, and no one came to trouble Shen Moran for the time being. She still missed the days when she became Princess Yu in her previous life, when she attended the palace banquet with Zhou Yu for the first time and was ostracized by everyone.
Shen Mingshu spread the news that she had been defiled by bandits throughout the capital, and she was rejected by Shen Senxing. Everyone accused her of cuckolding Zhou Yu and bringing shame to the royal family...
The banquets at that time were very exciting, not as dull as they are now.
Zhou Yu is an idle prince who has no support from his mother's family and is not favored by the emperor. She is an abandoned girl from a high family whose virginity was taken away by bandits. This combination can easily attract others to step on them.
Unlike now, although Zhou Zhan is a sick man, the Protectorate is still alive and holds the military power in the northwest. No one will offend Zhou Zhan.
If there is no interest relationship, no one will come to her unhappy.
Shen Moran sighed, she was a little bored.
Zhou Zhan saw her restlessness from her serious appearance, and put his palm on the back of her hand to remind her not to relax. When he was a child, he was led to the rockery at a banquet, tricked him into climbing up the rockery, and then pushed him Get into the water.
The lake water in the cold winter made him sick for a long time. Later, he simply let this "illness" never recover... The man wanted to kill him, and the palace was the most dangerous place.
Shen Moran held his hand back, saying nothing.
This scene fell into Zhou Chang's eyes, and he joked: "The relationship between the seventh brother and his younger siblings is so good that others envy them!"
He deliberately targeted Zhou Zhan today, but actually wanted to test him. After careful analysis, he found that if Si Yiluo was not sincerely planning for Zhou Yu and did not accept his solicitation, there must be someone else supporting him.
At first glance, Zhou Zhan seemed the most suspicious, but the obvious relationship also made him question his own ideas.
After thinking about it, I thought it might be him!
"Let's play a game. Everyone knows how to throw pot, so let's compete and the loser will drink."
Sitting around was boring, so no one had any objections, so they divided the room into two places, one for the women and one for the men.
Si Yiluo turned around and threw casually, and both arrows landed in the pot. After getting a round of applause, she waved her hand and said: "Tossing the pot is too simple for a general, so I will not participate."
Xiang Xiao also performed a fancy pot throw. In terms of skill, there may not be anyone present who can match him.
Xiao Poyun and Xiao Yuanjin only went up to greet the scene and then returned to their seats.
"Seventh brother, seventh brother and sister, everyone is participating, you should come quickly!"
Bao Wanyu was too young to make any big moves, so she did not participate.
Shen Moran stood up and said: "His Royal Highness Zhan is not in good health, and I am not very skilled in bodywork, so I reluctantly come to replace my husband for the occasion."
