I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

Chapter 97 Shang Wenqi's Identity

Liu Yanzhou is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He is neither fat nor thin and even has a bit of elegance. He does look aristocratic.

His mother was an old woman in her seventies, with a jewel-studded headscarf on her head, her face powdered, and her lips stained with lip balm. Compared with her elegant son, she was the one who was too aggressive, giving off the feeling of an old witch from the mountain village.

However, this is just Ning Ning's personal opinion, because this old lady and several of her "old girlfriends" have similar makeup as her. I think this is a popular trend nowadays.

But to Ning Ning, at first glance it looked like a row of old village monsters howling and waiting to feast on people. All in all, the scene before her was quite shocking to Ning Ning.

The reason why Ning Ning could see all this was because the birthday banquet had already begun, the guests and the hosts had already sat at the tables, and everyone was giving birthday gifts to the old lady at the main table.

And looking around, all the dignitaries in the court had come. Not only them, but even the young men and women of marriageable age had come.

At this time, with the stage as the center, directly opposite was the main table, where the old lady and the dignitaries of the court sat.

The pavilion on the left is for young men, and the pavilion opposite it is for young women.

Different from the young man's graceful and elegant appearance, the pavilion on the right was covered with gauze curtains, and one could only vaguely see various slender young women inside. Occasionally, their laughter drifted in the wind, which was so ethereal and moving that it made people imagine some wild things.

This must be the scene that often appears in novels and TV dramas, where young men and young ladies, cousins, meet each other under the pretext of an old lady's birthday party.

Others who traveled through time all came here to become young men and young ladies and go on blind dates, but poor her, she traveled through time just to set the mood for their blind date.

Ning Ning shook her head helplessly. After comparing herself to the others, she felt that she was much more miserable than just a little bit.

Just when Ning Ning was lost in thought, the servant outside announced again: "Lord Shang, the commander of the Qingyun Left Cavalry, has arrived..."

"!"

These words caused the three places where people were chatting in low voices to suddenly become quiet.

Ning Ning was also stunned, thinking, this commander-in-chief, could it be the person she knows?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a solemn man in a black robe walking towards me. His long legs fluttered with every step he took. His broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs looked even more stylish against the backdrop of the robe, not to mention his exquisite face.

Who else could this person be but Shang Wenqi?

Although Ning Ning knew that this man was good-looking, she didn't think much of it as she saw him every day. But now that they were at a distance, and with the contrast of the ordinary people around him, he instantly became extraordinary.

The dancers next to her finally reacted and they all clapped Ning Ning's hands to express their excitement.

"Chu Chu, this... isn't this... your... your husband?"

"Yes, this is Mr. Chu, right? Oh my God, your husband is actually a nobleman!"

"Oh my god...what's going on."

"Shh, keep a low profile."

Compared to everyone else, Ning Ning seemed much calmer. She calmly reassured everyone: "I'll tell you after the birthday banquet is over."

While everyone here was heatedly discussing Shang Wenqi's identity, Tingtai finally came to his senses.

Liu Yanzhou was the first to stand up. He bowed respectfully to Shang Wenqi and said, "How could the Liu family be so worthy to invite Lord Shang here..."

Shang Wenqi glanced around calmly, then saluted to the main seat: "I am here on the orders of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty to bring a gift to the old lady."

The old lady didn't know the twists and turns of the court. She knew that Shang Wenqi came here on behalf of the palace, so she couldn't help but smile: "It's really a shame to trouble Lord Shang to make this trip. Lord Shang, please take a seat and have a drink."

"Obedience is worse than respect." Shang Wenqi bowed.

Liu Yanzhou's expression at this moment was extremely colorful. Although it was true that he had sent invitations to everyone, the factions in the court had their own tacit understanding. Those who were not from that faction would not show up, and some even would not show up to avoid suspicion.

Shang Wenqi never gets involved in these things before, who would have thought he would come today.

The most important thing is, hasn’t this guy been suspended? Why did he suddenly come here to represent the royal family? It’s too unlucky.

Liu Yanzhou was a little unhappy, but he couldn't say it. Moreover, because Shang Wenqi was a popular figure around the Empress Dowager, he had to arrange a relatively good position for Shang Wenqi.

Liu Yanzhou gave the butler a depressed look, and the butler immediately understood and gave him the best seat on the left.

Shang Wenqi did not refuse and sat down quickly, looking down expressionlessly.

At this moment, his men were carrying something up. It was a thousand-year-old coral bonsai. It was indeed an item from the palace. There were only three pots of this thousand-year-old coral in the palace. However, two years ago, one of them was given to General Zhennan, who had made great contributions in protecting the country. So there was only one pair left in the palace.

I thought this pair of thousand-year-old corals would never be given away, but who would have thought that the Queen Mother would generously give them out.

It can be seen that she is really good to the Empress Dowager's family.

The old lady was very satisfied with this, and kept praising the Empress Dowager for her virtuous character and her model mother to the country.

Shang Wenqi just curled his lips and was too lazy to chat. His arrogant and indifferent look made the bustling lobby as cold as it could be.

The people sitting at the bottom couldn't help but murmur, "Why is this killer here?"

"Since you've been suspended, you should be at home reflecting on your mistakes. Why are you suddenly running here? How can we watch the show?"

It’s no wonder they were depressed. After all, these people were all distinguished guests of Furong Garden. Shang Wenqi’s sudden appearance that day had already spoiled their fun once, and they never expected that he would come again this time.

Everybody was planning to happily enjoy "Magu Offering Longevity". After all, this dance was a huge hit on the day of the competition, and the common people said that this song and dance could only exist in heaven and they had never seen it in their lives.

It has been three or four days since the competition, but the dance "Magu Offering Longevity" has become more and more well-known in the market, especially among the common people who have seen this dance. They are so proud of it and praise it to everyone they meet.

Even those who were not interested in dancing were aroused with curiosity, but it was a pity that they had no chance to see it.

Everyone went to Furong Garden excitedly, wanting to have a glimpse of the dance. However, the shopkeeper said that Miss Chuchu had to prepare for a birthday banquet, and the dance would not be performed in Furong Garden for the time being. So everyone came with high hopes but left disappointed.

As time goes by, I look forward to this dance more and more.

To put it bluntly, many people did not come to celebrate the birthday, but simply to watch "Magu Offering Longevity".

However, at this moment, this beautiful expectation was completely shattered by Shang Wenqi.

With this killer present, who can still enjoy the dance?

Just when everyone was feeling depressed, the Right Prime Minister who was sitting opposite Shang Wenqi spoke up: "Shang Sir is about the same age as my son, why don't you go to Qingsong Pavilion and have more things to talk about with the young people."
