"Oh, so what if there are ten thousand layers, isn't it still a piece of cake? Can he still turn into a pork elbow?"

Chi Shi said, too lazy to pay attention to Chen Guanlan, and without hesitation, he picked up the food and snacks on the table and used them. He didn't know if there was any pork elbow tonight's palace banquet.

Chen Guanlan looked at her with great interest, picked up a few walnuts, and turned it up quickly in his palm boredly.

It was dark early in winter, and in a short while, the palace maid attracted people to sit down one after another. When the auspicious time came, Emperor Zhou Yuan, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and a group of royal relatives entered the hall at the critical moment of the imperial examination.

As soon as they came in, the hall seemed to have come alive. The dancer in gauze walked in with heavy makeup, playing the violin, singing the music, and entering in one after another.

The civil and military officials in the court gave great gifts seriously, and even Chen Guanlan was no exception. His respectful appearance and long live sound like a tsunami sound made the Chi Shi feel like time traveling for the first time.

The shouts around her made her head buzz. She raised her head and looked up. His Majesty Zhou Yuan was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a golden crown on his head. He stood there loudly, and the sound of his speech seemed to be able to overturn the entire roof.

Apart from Zhou Yuan standing in the middle, Chi Shi saw Zhou Xian at one eye. He changed his fan, not the usual white goose feather fan, nor the slutty peacock feather, but a black feather fan.

It is not accurate to say that it is pitch black, because there are many gems inlaid on the fan, which is very valuable at first glance. She has just experienced this kind of show-off nouveau riche feeling at home today.

Chi Shi thought, stretched out his hand and touched the skeleton jade pendant hanging around his waist.

Zhou Xian saw her staring at the fan and smiled gently.

Chi Shimu sneezes with a face, and lowered her head. With this bow, she quickly threw Zhou Xian behind her head. As soon as His Majesty came in, the palace banquet began, and all kinds of big fish and meat were immediately on the table.

Chi Shi glanced at him. Chen Guanlan had no intention of moving his chopsticks. He just drank wine and turned walnuts. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the chopsticks, rolled up his sleeves, and feasted.

"Who will really eat the palace banquet? Everyone is sharpening their fists and palms. I wish I could seize this opportunity and ask for something good in front of the nobles." Chen Guanlan saw her eating happily and couldn't help but remind him.

Chi Shi didn't stop chopsticks, "Do you think my face and your hands can get good things for the New Year?"

Chen Guanlan was stunned and shook his head, "No one wants to see the coffin board and moving bacon during the Chinese New Year."

"Right? If you don't have a chance, why bother to please me? Just eat and watch the show."

As soon as Chi Shi finished speaking, he heard the Empress Dowager sigh, "This year's New Year is a great day for family reunion. I am extremely happy to see the rise of this Liang and prosperity and prosperity."

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and his brotherly loves with Xian'er. In the court, no one praises the two brothers, who have the mutual benefit of civil and military affairs, and is moderate. This man is old and always misses the past. As soon as I look at them, I remember the late emperor and the King of Runan."

Chi Shi grabbed a braised lion's head, took a bite, glanced at him from the outside, and he saw Li Zhen sitting in front of him. They had just seen him at Duke Chen's mansion. Compared to the day when he was hired, Li Zhen was so glorious today.

After hearing the Empress Dowager's words, she excitedly touched the head of the child next to her. The child was about five or six years old, with big and bright eyes, and she looked really smart.

"The former emperor ruled Wen Zhi, and used his youngest King Runan as the general, as the gateway to the northwest, to resist foreign enemies and to be the master of martial arts. The two brothers also had such deep feelings. It's a pity..."

When the Empress Dowager said this, her voice was a little choked, "As the saying goes, I miss my family more during the holidays. When it comes to this day of family reunion, I will think of the heroic king of Runan for my life, and devoted himself to my Daliang, and only after death. But in the end, even descendants did not stay."

"For so many years, Your Majesty has been looking for the whereabouts of the Prince of Runan. It's a pity that the world did not fulfill its wishes. For so many years, there has been no news. I am old and the fact that the King of Runan has no descendants has become my heart disease."

"With all the lords here today, why should I give you an idea for me? What should I discuss about this?"

The Emperor Zhou Yuan waved his hand, and the dancer who was still turning 360 degrees in the air stopped abruptly, bowed and retreated. After a while, the hall became quiet again.

Chi Shi listened and curled his lips. It’s not a bad thing that he is a man in the palace, and he doesn’t have to draft his lies.

Even she, a little coroner, knew that the Empress Dowager had chosen Li Zhen's son and wanted to adopt him to King Runan as the prince. Everyone had seen him, but he actually asked what to discuss?

Sure enough, a trembling old man immediately stood up in the crowd. His hair was completely white, and the folds on his face were even layered than the thousand-layer cakes that Shen Guanlan said. People often said that one foot had stepped into the coffin.

He didn't step into the coffin with one foot, he just walked in, leaving a mouth outside and put it on his head.

"Empress, the royal bloodline cannot be chaotic. According to precedents, if the prince has no descendants, he will first consider adopting brothers and descendants, and then considering the side branches... The Tian family is unusual, and the bloodline is the most important. It must have the same surname, the same clan and the same origin, otherwise I will be sorry for the ancestors of the Zhou family."

"Thanks to the love of the Tian family, the old minister has been in charge of the ancestral hall since the late emperor was alive and has been in charge of the Zhou family genealogy. The ugly words are first said before. If you do not comply with the rules, even if you and Your Majesty have an order, the old minister will never add his name to the genealogy, which will disrupt my Zhou family!"

The Empress Dowager looked at him and asked someone to help him sit down, "After so many years, you still have such a straight temper. Don't worry, how can you not understand the rules of your ancestors?"

"You guys, I want to choose one among the clan children and adopt it to King Runan. What do you think? Is there a suitable candidate?" After the empress dowager said that, she wiped the corners of her eyes with the veil and looked at Emperor Zhou Yuan.

When I watched the pond, I picked up another chopstick to steamed sea bass. The meat of this sea bass is fresh and smooth, and there is no need to be too much oil and salt. The lighter it is, the more it can highlight the sweetness of the fish.

The fish is very good, but the show is a bit greasy.

Zhou Yuan grinned, stretched out his iron sand palm, and patted the Empress Dowager on the back, "Grandma, don't be sad, this is a reasonable thing. A few days ago, didn't you say you took a fancy to Zhou Tao, the son of the Prince of Leiyang?"

"I said that the child was born like my uncle when he was a child! I hadn't given birth to the uncle when he was a child, so I've never seen him! Today, when I saw him, he was a smart person, so why would you choose him? Wouldn't that be right?"
