The luxurious Taiji Palace was filled with ministers and family members. Women in bright colors sat beside their parents and looked at the noble sons from time to time. There were several concubines sitting in the Taiji Palace. Although the emperor had many concubines, they were present today. There were only three concubines. Emperor Shang was sitting in a high position in bright yellow casual clothes. His shrewd eyes full of pressure looked at some ministers from time to time, and those ministers looked respectful but were actually a little scared.
"Your Majesty, it's better to start when everyone is here!" Concubine Xin said with a smile as she looked at the emperor above. She was dressed in a purple imperial concubine's palace dress, with delicate makeup on her face, which made her even more charming and beautiful, with a bun on her top. The golden thread and eight treasures save the pearl hairpin, which is dazzling, and embellished with countless pearls and emeralds, a group of jewels.
Concubine Xin has a son and a daughter in the palace. The son is the current third prince Shang Chengying, and the daughter is the current eldest princess Shang Qinmi. Concubine Xin has always been a arrogant master in the palace, and she is often coquettish regardless of the occasion, but Shang Huang has never been dissatisfied but not dissatisfied. After all, Shang Huang has been since the one who knew the Qiu Queen, He has never flipped the brands of other concubines, even though Empress Qiu has been dead for thirteen years now, Emperor Shang has never called a concubine to serve her in bed.
"Already here? There's another one who hasn't come. As the crown prince of the East Palace, the emperor's birthday didn't come today. How can this be!" Concubine Qin said dissatisfiedly. She was dressed in a snow-colored cloud-like brocade concubine's palace dress, her hair was scattered like seaweed, and her beautiful appearance was somewhat charming and charming, but when she talked about the prince, her glazed eyes flashed a trace of resentment and viciousness.
Concubine Qin is an old man in the palace. She was already a side concubine when Shang Kingdom was still a prince, so she was also the first concubine to give birth to a prince, but unfortunately her child was not named a prince. Concubine Qin There is only one son, the eldest prince Shang Chenzhao.
Qin Fei's words made everyone look for the prince in the Taiji Palace, but they couldn't find the rumored prince. Could it be that the rumors among the people a few days ago were false, and the prince was still the same prince as a pustule
Huan Moche's brows furrowed for a moment, thinking that Concubine Qin's words were too bad for the prince. It turned out that the prince's situation was so difficult. He thought that such a sharp young man could grow up in such a dirty environment. Huan Moche suddenly looked at Concubine Qin's extreme unhappiness, and even wanted to say a few words to teach Concubine Qin a few words. If it wasn't for his strong self-control, he would have done such a thing, but why did he do this? do it? Is it just because he is the prince's grandfather
Leng Yufeng saw that there was indeed no prince in the palace and couldn't help but be a little puzzled. He clearly saw the prince entering the palace at the gate of the palace, but the prince was not here at this time. What is going on? Did something happen to the prince, or the prince didn't want to come to the banquet at all, and Leng Yufeng wouldn't believe the speculation that the prince was afraid, because the prince's eyes were more terrifying than the beasts he saw, like this What is there to be afraid of.
Concubine Qin smiled proudly. Since her son was designed by the prince on the street, Bai Shangshu actually told the emperor that the first prince was ignorant of etiquette, and her son was ordered by the emperor to meditate in the mansion. The emperor's birthday was not released, so she did not know how many concubines laughed at her in the palace.
Emperor Shang just sat like this, neither happy nor angry, people couldn't realize for a while whether he still hated the prince, or whether he had changed his mind about the prince. They wanted to see something from Emperor Shang's face, but his body Because the emperor has long been overwhelmed by emotions, how can others see what he thinks.
"Ah? The prince is so bold that he hasn't come yet? The prince doesn't look down on the emperor, right?" Concubine Xin was covering her mouth, but her voice made everyone hear it clearly, but not everyone Everyone is so brainless, and the other concubines are silent.
All the concubines in this palace do not hate or hate the crown prince, the reason is because Queen Qiu has taken all the favor of Emperor Shang, making them all the resentful wives, so that there is no room for others in the eyes of Emperor Shang. , How could such a favor not make many concubines jealous, but Queen Qiu was already dead, so they transferred their hatred to the crown prince.
"As a concubine of the father and the emperor, even a concubine dares to talk about this palace behind her back? I wonder if Concubine Xin's mouth ate something unclean this morning?" A cool and low-pressure voice came from outside the hall. Everyone heard that the person was the prince, so they all looked at the entrance of the hall, while Huan Moche loosened his brows and felt a lot more relaxed, while Leng Yufeng was a little stunned when he heard the prince's words, the prince seemed to be a little bit stunned. Crazy.
Everyone only saw a young man wearing a black robe walking in from the entrance of the main hall. The first thing that surprised everyone was the handsome face of the young man. His complexion was pale with a hint of pallor, but he still did not lose his graceful and graceful appearance. , a pair of eyes that are indifferent, but clear to the bottom, without the slightest impurities, seems to have a fascinating spirit, the delicate but straight nose bridge is like a knife, the corners of the lips evoke a gentle smile, the whole person looks at It was as hazy and delicate as the spring rain in March.
Emperor Shang looked at what flashed in the eyes of the prince who appeared there, but it seemed that there was nothing.
Everyone was surprised by the appearance of the prince. It was not that everyone had never seen the prince. Even if the prince rarely came out, some ministers had seen the prince, but the prince lowered his head every time and couldn't see his face clearly, so this This is the first time everyone has seen the prince's peerless face. Compared with the men on the list of handsome boys, they are not bad but even better. Even the two most outstanding men in the hall, General Leng and Mr. Huan, are not comparable in appearance. Excellent prince. It's not because of the bad looks of General Leng and Young Master Huan. From the perspective of appearance, the three of them have their own strengths, but there are many things in the prince's body and eyes, and it is this kind of seemingly non-existent charm that makes the prince more charming.
"Participate in the royal father!" Shang Wuxin didn't care about the eyes of the crowd and walked into the hall, bowed slightly and saluted. Although it wasn't a salute, there was nothing wrong with the Crown Prince of the East Palace.
"Come on!" Emperor Shang didn't take a look at the prince below, which made many people feel that the emperor still didn't like the prince. Emperor Shang said casually, "When you come, take a seat!"
Shang Wuxin nodded and walked to the seat exclusively for the crown prince. The crown prince's seat was prominently placed at the top right of the courtier's seat under Emperor Shang, and under the crown prince's seat was Leng Yufeng's seat, followed by Huan Moche's seat.
"Prince!" Leng Yufeng and Huan Moche greeted at the same time. Leng Yufeng said that because he thought the prince was extraordinary, but Huan Moche couldn't help but speak when he saw that the prince was in a good mood. .
Shang Wuxin nodded in response. No matter how these two people were in the Shang Kingdom, they were people with great power, so Shang Wuxin would never have a bad relationship with these two people when it was not necessary. Moreover, Shang Wuxin knew very well that these two were definitely not as gentle as they appeared on the surface. No, they were never gentle on the surface, but many people in the world didn't see it clearly.
And just now, many people who still felt that the crown prince had no hope of ascending the throne were surprised again. The two people who just greeted the prince were General Leng and Master Huan. Why did these two people usually greet other princes? It seems that this prince is really unusual, but thinking of the emperor's attitude, many people hesitated again, and everyone was a little undecided, not knowing whether they should support the prince in the future.
