Three hundred and seventieth chapters throwing arms
In the Taiji Hall, officials and their families sat in order from top to back according to their rank, with men and women divided into two. Jiang Miao, as a family member of a sixth-rank official, should have sat in the back, but because of Princess Rui, she sat with Zhao Mingzhen. in one piece.
In the crowd, big and small eyes looked over. Everyone was surprised by Jiang Miao's appearance, and they all wanted to watch the fun.
If I hadn't known that the eldest princess only gave birth to Princess Rongning, I would have thought that Mrs. Shen was her illegitimate daughter.
Zhao Jing and the eldest princess sat at the table together, and Sannu followed them obediently. She had been dressed up today, and her gorgeous clothes made her look quite luxurious.
Sang Nu nodded her head and held her chest high, with the pride of a noble lady in the capital on her face. But when she saw Jiang Miao in the palace, her face turned pale.
What should I do? Will the eldest princess see her? What should I do if I suspect that she is Rong Ning?
Sannu froze, not daring to look at the expressions of the people around him, and subconsciously turned to Jiang Ru for help. However, Jiang Ru herself was uneasy. She only hoped that tonight's plan would go smoothly, and then she would expose Sannu's secrets. With a false identity, she was able to escape successfully with the help of the emperor.
Zhao Jing and the eldest princess had noticed Jiang Miao for a long time, especially since the eldest princess started looking for her daughter as soon as she entered the palace. Seeing her following Princess Rui, she breathed a sigh of relief. With Princess Rui here, Miao Ya would never Being bullied.
And even if she was close, she could see clearly.
Jiang Miao took advantage of everyone bending down to salute, and quietly raised her head and winked at the eldest princess. Her cunning and playful look made the eldest princess smile, and she felt a lot more comfortable.
Sannu didn't know why she was so happy, but as long as the eldest princess didn't notice anything unusual, she could temporarily relax.
Because of Jiang Miao's appearance, Sang Nu's sense of crisis became even greater, and what Jiang Ru said that day also came to mind.
"If you want to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth you have today, you can only help me marry the emperor!"
She had always known that Jiang Ru wanted to be the queen, but now it was her, Sangnu, who was engaged to the emperor. In the past, Sangnu wanted to marry the emperor to gain a bargaining chip to save her life, but in fact, even if the two had an engagement, Zhao Jing still had a crush on her. Not very close.
Especially now that the real Rong Ning has appeared in front of the eldest princess, Sannu no longer dares to think that she can become the queen. Only by helping Jiang Ru can she survive.
Before the banquet began, Zhao Jing and the eldest princess gave brief speeches, focusing on commending the ministers who had outstanding political achievements this year, especially Shen Yanqing, who rebuilt Zhenjiang Mansion. This was his capable subordinate and his sister-in-law. With this dual Zhao Jing naturally praised him for his status.
Not only did they praise Shen Yanqing, but they also praised Jiang Miao. Liu Ruyan, Jiang Ru and Sannu were all worried, with a flash of panic in their eyes, fearing that Zhao Jing would find out something.
However, Zhao Jing's plan has just been implemented, so naturally it will not be exposed easily. Just a few casual words can make the three of them tremble.
The eldest princess next to her also suddenly spoke to Jiang Miao, as if she was afraid that the few people would be too flustered.
"Mrs. Shen likes to eat Jade Bean Cake. Please give her this dish from me."
The eldest princess spoke lightly, but everyone in the palace was frightened.
What did she mean by this? Why did she only care about Jiang Miao? Are the two really related?
Everyone's eyes quietly looked at the eldest princess and Jiang Miao, and then glanced at the pale-faced Sannu next to them. Everyone's eyes became meaningful.
Jiang Miao knew that the eldest princess was deliberately testing Sang Nu and the others, so she stood up and took it generously, which made everyone look at her.
Compared to Sang Nu, Mrs. Shen is indeed more elegant and elegant than a noble lady in the capital.
The banquet started with everyone's different thoughts. The graceful dancer in the banquet danced to the soft sound of silk and bamboo. It was Jiang Miao's first time to attend a palace banquet, and the food at the banquet made her appetite whet her appetite.
Anchovy shark's fin, red plum blossoms, eight-treasure wild duck, Buddha's hand golden roll, sweet and sour lotus root, candied longan, Bijing porridge, the skills of the imperial chef are beyond words, and Jiang Miao enjoyed eating them.
At a banquet like this, other young ladies would just eat a few bites to show off, but how could they actually eat it? Those like Jiang Miao and Zhao Mingzhen, who ate so much and commented on each other, were simply outliers.
Princess Rui was already used to her daughter being a foodie, and she liked Jiang Miao even more when she saw her like this. No wonder she got along with Mingzhen. It turns out that both of them love to eat.
The eldest princess looked at the next one with loving eyes. She was influenced by Jiang Miao and had a little more appetite. Sannu saw that she was in a good mood and didn't notice anything unusual. She could finally let go of the worries in her heart.
Jiang Ru had been absent-minded since the beginning of the banquet. She glanced upward several times. Her plan was waiting for the emperor to implement it when he was drunk. She grabbed the corners of her clothes and her heart beat rapidly.
How could Zhao Jing not know what she was thinking? There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the wine glass and drank from cup to cup. Rather than talking about wine, it was more like water mixed with wine. It was neither intoxicating nor tainted with the smell of wine. , he is right to act according to the plan, but the prerequisite is that he does not get involved in it.
Even if Zhao Jing is beaten to death, Jiang Ru will not succeed!
"Jixiang, help me go to the back hall to change clothes."
In Jiang Ru's expectation, Zhao Jing drank a bottle of wine, her face turned red, her eyes became blurred, and she looked a little drunk.
He staggered when he stood up, and Eunuch Jixiang quickly helped him.
"Yes, slave, please help the master go now."
Everyone in the palace watched the emperor leave. Jiang Ru felt excited and secretly left when no one was paying attention, following Zhao Jing.
"Go get me a cloak."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, Zhao Jing suddenly stopped and gave instructions.
"yes."
Eunuch Jixiang knew that his master was trying to get rid of him. Jixiang caught a glimpse of the people behind the corridor with a look of irony in his eyes, and turned around and walked towards the back hall.
Jiang Ru saw that there was no one around Zhao Jing, her heart beat faster, she grabbed her clothes and walked over excitedly.
"Cousin of the Emperor, where is your father-in-law? Why are you left here alone?"
She pinched her throat and asked in a pretentious manner, holding her hand tentatively.
Zhao Jing felt disgusted in her heart, but she still held it back for the sake of the next plan.
"Why are you here?"
"I... Ru'er was worried about my cousin, so I came over to see if I was drunk, cousin?"
She held Zhao Jing's arm and leaned closer to him. When Jiang Ru saw that Zhao Jing did not refuse, a smile of success flashed in her eyes.
He must be drunk, otherwise he wouldn't let himself get close to him.
"No, this is not a place for women. Please leave quickly."
Zhao Jing wanted to give her a chance, but Jiang Ru was already fascinated by the lower position. As long as she took a step forward, she would be able to sit in this position. How could she give up halfway?
"Your Majesty's cousin, will Ru'er take you to the apse?"
