Pseudo master, she just wants to live

A person who doesn't even care about his birthday, but tells her that he wants to be happy, well, this reason...

Fang Yao looked at Fan Chen's back disappearing into the night, and felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Yue Mo is that this guy brought a lot of gadgets from the palace when he came, and the children chased him outside to play.

In the empty front hall, she couldn't help laughing alone.

But soon, Fang Yao couldn't laugh anymore.

There was a state banquet in the imperial palace on the first day of the lunar new year, and as Daxiang's first-rank imperial wife and the only fiancée of the prince, Fang Yao was also invited.

Fan Chen's sudden return this time turned out to be specially bringing her an old lady in the palace, so that she could secretly remind her of the etiquette at palace banquets.

Before dawn, Gong'e came to dress her up.

The set of Fengguanxiapei for the award was cumbersome to wear, especially the head crown and hair accessories. Fang Yao sat on the chair and dozed off with her eyes slightly squinted, and let the maid fiddle with it for nearly half an hour.

"Mrs. Fang is amazing. You are the first woman in Daxiang to be sealed before she is officially married."

"what……"

Fang Yao blinked, pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.

When the sky was slightly bright, she boarded the carriage to the palace.

The imperial street leading to the palace was extremely lively, and the outside was bustling with people. At the gate of the palace, it was already full of carriages, ox carts and sedan chairs.

Before the curtain was lifted, a burst of Yingying Yanyan's coquettish laughter came to her ears, Fang Yao got off the carriage and was instantly dazzled.

A group of well-dressed women were waiting in front of the palace gate. Besides the wives who also wore grand gowns, there were also many young cardamom girls.

They were beautifully dressed, gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing in low voices.

Fang Yao didn't know anyone, she silently walked to the back of the crowd in a daze, Gong'e followed behind her respectfully.

"I'm so nervous, this is my first time attending a state banquet..."

"Me too, by the way, have you sent your horoscope too?"

"Yes, yes."

Fang Yao's eyes rolled slightly, and she glanced at a few girls who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old beside her, all of them were juicy and beautiful.

"Sister Jing'er, you are so good-looking, you will definitely be liked."

"But I heard my father came back last night and said that the princess has already been settled, and a marriage decree has been issued."

Fang Yao was silent, the group of girls seemed to be discussing themselves.

Sure enough, one of the girls with a proud face gave a disdainful "tsk" and hummed softly: "It seems that a female alchemist from the Southern Barbarians was favored by the King of Qin, and suddenly flew to a branch and turned into a phoenix..."

The corners of Fang Yao's mouth twitched, she glanced at the little girl's obviously childish face, and looked away wordlessly.

Fortunately, someone helped her speak. The girl named Jing'er quickly covered her friend's mouth and whispered: "Yuan'er, don't talk nonsense. I heard that sister is very capable. It was defeated by her."

"So what, let me see, King Qin chose her to be the concubine because of her great achievements, otherwise..."

The little girl was talking excitedly, but was interrupted coldly.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have the chance to comment on her here today, right?"

The girls were startled, and when they saw Fang Yao wearing a purple-blue first-grade imperial dress, their faces turned pale.

Just as the palace gate opened, Fang Yao withdrew her gaze expressionlessly, and walked towards the palace gate under the leadership of the old Gong'e.

In broad daylight, she still can't do anything to compete with a group of yellow-haired girls.

Because of being angry just now, Fang Yao's complexion was gloomy, and all the female relatives of civil and military officials on the way into the palace avoided her.

The state banquet is held in the Jiying Hall, with men and women separated by several feet, and a screen is used to cover the middle.

The banquet steps are very cumbersome and there are many rules. The men at the main table are all sitting upright, but the women's family members are quite relaxed here.

Fang Yao, as a first-rank imperial order, sat in the front seats with a group of old ladies, and the young girls were all in the lower seats.

No one spoke to her, and while she ate slowly, she listened to the conversations of the girls.

Only then did she realize that in the past Daxiang state banquets only hosted civil and military officials, but this time she could bring her family with her.

She didn't understand at first, but now she has cleared her mind. Apart from celebrating the Spring Festival, this state banquet may also be a large-scale blind date specially arranged for Fan Chen...

Sure enough, halfway through the banquet, a minister suggested that his daughter go up to perform a song and dance.

Next to it is the female music in the palace, this old man actually asked his daughter to perform a dance, so Fang Yao could hear his plan.

A girl in a goose-yellow dress blushed and got up, Fang Yao glanced over lightly, wasn't it the girl "Jing'er" at the gate of the palace just now!

I have to say that this little girl can dance quite well. She took off her thick jacket, revealing her flexible waist, which twisted and twisted, which made many ministers look straight.

After dancing to a song, Miss Jing'er glanced hurriedly in Fan Chen's direction, then quickly lowered her head, and came back with small embroidered steps.

Fang Yao leaned on her chin, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the girl peeking here from time to time after returning to her seat.

She thought it was funny, and actually laughed out loud.

The woman at the side felt strange and wanted to flatter her, so she asked with a smile: "Did Mrs. Fang encounter something funny?"

Fang Yao showed a harmless smile to humans and animals: "It turns out that there are really ladies who have sharpened their heads and want to be someone's concubine. Do you think it's funny?"

"..."

The woman's face froze, Fang Yao had already turned her head away, and continued to eat pastries as if nothing happened.

Because there are many rules among the men, Fan Chen has no chance to leave his seat when Fang Yao is full, so he finds a chance to come and see her.

When the banquet was over, the young girls waited in place reluctantly, but Fang Yao was a little tired, so she asked the old lady to lead her to leave early.

As soon as she left, those female relatives immediately started talking about her.

"Is that the future princess? She's so beautiful."

"I feel that my temper is not very good, just now I said, I said..."

"say what?"

"It is said that some people actually try their best to do small things."

"..."

The young girls had different expressions, and the one named Jing'er had a very bad expression. She didn't show a little smile until the queen sent an order to suggest that the female relatives could go to the imperial garden for a while.

"Royal garden?"

Fang Yao, who had already left the palace gate, almost rolled her eyes when she heard the news.

The small garden was not as big as the small park in her hometown, and it was so cold that there was nothing to see except for a few plum blossoms.

This is probably because the drunkard didn't want to drink, the queen specially sent someone to stop her after she left the palace, probably because Yue Mo thought she would not return.

Fang Yao looked up at the light gray sky above her head, and smiled slightly at the little servant who was catching up with her: "Go, why not, I haven't seen what the Royal Garden looks like before."
