Chapter 145 Entering the Palace for the Dinner Party

After an unknown amount of time, the group of them entered the palace through the tall Chengqin Gate, and the surrounding noise instantly fell silent.

Even the palace attendants carrying the chariot stepped much softer, and they could only hear the breathing of the person beside them.

After walking not far, we saw majestic palaces, and cautious palace servants and maids walking with their heads down.

Xia Yunrou opened the curtain and saw a palace that was different from the one they had visited in modern times.

The imperial palace in the capital city is a fusion of northern and southern architecture. It has the majesty and square layout of the north, as well as the exquisiteness and elegance of the south, with small bridges and flowing water. The scenery can be said to be unique and breathtaking.

Zhang Shuchuan was so nervous that he couldn't care less when he saw this beautiful scenery. He was amazed all the way.

However, because the people around them were too serious, the two of them did not dare to be too exaggerated and just communicated with each other with their eyes.

After a long and winding journey, we finally arrived at a place called Jinshen Hall.

Eunuch Li, who was accompanying him all the way, came forward to report, and not long after, there was news from inside asking Xia Yunrou, Zhang Shuchuan and Xia Yunqi to go in.

Xia Yunqi slept soundly, and Zhang Shuchuan couldn't wake him up even when he picked him up.

A pregnant woman with a heavy belly and a tall man holding a one-year-old baby. This strange combination walked to the feet of the emperor.

Song Yunzong had seen the portraits of several people and knew that Xia Yunrou and his sister looked like his direct sisters, especially Xia Yunrou.

But when he actually saw Xia Yunrou in person, he almost lost his temper in public.

It seemed that many years ago, my sister-in-law walked up to him and looked at him with a smile.

Zhang Shuchuan walked in with Xiao Yunqi in his arms and Xia Yunrou with one hand, and saw a bright yellow figure with a handsome and majestic face.

As expected, he is a man who can be the emperor, and his momentum is sufficient.

He thought to himself, but he didn't dare to look too blatantly. He looked at each other and Xia Yunrou, both of them lowered their eyes.

The two were about to salute when they heard a pure and majestic voice.

"No need to salute! Come and give me a seat!"

When Song Yunzong saw Xia Yunrou's bulging belly, he would not let her kneel down to salute.

Queen Yan gave birth to two sons and one daughter. As a father and husband, he knew how hard it was for women to get pregnant.

Besides, this is still his sister's bloodline. As long as he doesn't go too far in the future, he will definitely protect it.

The two thanked him and sat down, then raised their eyes and met Song Yunzong's eyes.

Song Yunzong tried to be as gentle as possible, asked some questions about the two of them, and talked about Princess Changle. After thinking about it for a while, he finally tested Zhang Shuchuan's knowledge.

Although Zhang Shuchuan now studies by himself at home, he still studies well and has a photographic memory. It can be said that he can remember all the books he has read.

Now we are just at the last minute, waiting for the autumn exams to come.

Song Yunzong looked at his nephew and son-in-law with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I'm just waiting for your autumn test results to come out."

Originally, he thought that if Zhang Shuchuan failed to study, he would be rewarded with a title so that he could be worthy of the status of a princess.

He didn't expect Zhang Shuchuan to be so good at studying. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely be able to pass the high school exam in the autumn, so he wouldn't have to worry about it.

When Song Yunzong was assessing Zhang Shuchuan's knowledge, Xia Yunrou and Xiao Yunqi were led by the female officer beside the queen to the Kunde Hall where the queen was.

The current queen is a dignified-looking woman who is pregnant with two princes and one princess.

Because I had heard His Majesty mentioning his sister-in-law Princess Changle many times, even though I had never met her, I still remembered her in my heart, so I was kind to Xia Yunrou and her brother.

Especially when she saw Xia Yunrou's pregnant belly, her expression became more friendly, and she chatted with Xia Yunrou about many things to pay attention to during pregnancy and interesting things.

In the end, he was rewarded with a lot of rare treasures and silks and satins. Thinking that pregnant women would get tired easily, he arranged a palace for Xia Yunrou and the others to rest while waiting for the dinner.

Xiao Yunqi woke up midway and found that he was in a strange place, feeling a little uneasy. Seeing Xia Yunrou beside him, he didn't cry.

The palace servants followed the queen's instructions and brought a lot of children's toys. Xiao Yunqi's eyes lit up when he saw them, he was very interested in playing, and he was no longer repelled by strange places.

At the dinner, Xia Yunrou and the other three were led to sit down where the royal family members were seated.

Although she was at the bottom of the table, she was still in the most conspicuous position in the entire banquet besides the emperor and empress.

At this banquet, dignitaries of rank four or above and their relatives came.

Xia Yunrou looked around and saw that there were several ladies who had visited their rouge and gouache shop many times.

Most of the ladies and ladies smiled and nodded in greeting when they saw Xia Yunrou's eyes.

Xia Yunrou knew that without the title of Princess, he would probably disdain to look at her, let alone nod to her.

But she didn't care, and ate the snacks at the dinner with peace of mind, and also fed Xiao Yunqi a few times during the process.

The food in the palace is exquisite and delicious, but it was cold after being served, and I always felt uncomfortable while eating it.

Xia Yunrou didn't dare to be greedy and only ate one bite of each item. In the end, there were so many delicious foods that she was full even if she only took one bite.

"Daughter-in-law, if you feel uncomfortable, why don't you go for a walk outside?"

Zhang Shuchuan was a little worried when he saw his wife frowning.

Xia Yunrou was afraid that something would happen if she went out, so she shook her head.

Don’t they say in novels that if you go out in the middle of a banquet, something will happen to you in all likelihood?

She bought a digestive tablet that was harmless to pregnant women through the system interface, and felt much better after taking it.

She originally had a large appetite, but since she became pregnant, it was easier to hold on after eating a little, but she became hungry again soon after.

Zhang Shuchuan felt relaxed when he saw his wife's brows soothed, and he took care of the rest of the meal.

Xiao Yunqi ate a few times and felt full. When he was tired from playing and full, he fell asleep again and was held by the maid standing behind.

The atmosphere at the banquet was good, and nothing happened. Since it was a dinner party, it didn't last too long. After all, the emperor had to attend the morning court tomorrow.

Xia Yunrou tactfully rejected the queen's request to stay in the palace, and returned to the Zhang family with the rewarded maidservant and a bunch of rewards.

When everyone in the Zhang family saw the three people returning, they felt relieved.

The next day, Xia Yunrou received posts from the third- and fourth-grade adults and wives she had met at the banquet last night.

Xia Yunrou refused them all, citing physical inconvenience.

Later, these ladies stopped sending her posts.

Zhang Shuchuan, on the other hand, received a bunch of messy posts, either inviting him to poetry gatherings or visiting buildings for drinks and meals. This annoyed him so much that he closed the door casually to thank guests, without seeing any visitors or going out.

Everyone originally thought that the emperor had just recognized Princess Changle's bloodline and was favored, so they licked their faces and invited her. They didn't want the two of them to be so disrespectful, and many people were very aggrieved.

As for Wei Rongchuan's sudden death in Princess Changle's mausoleum, the emperor blocked the news, and only some high-ranking people got some wind.

But no one dared to discuss it. Since the death of Princess Changle, everyone knew that the emperor disliked Jun Ma.

On the official road far away from the capital, three women were being protected by a team of men and horses. Dust was flying wherever the carriages and horses went.
