Chapter 14
That person is Gu Zhang.

At the beginning, it wasn't that he didn't notice any movement here, but he just didn't want to startle the snake, but he didn't even think that the person hiding here would be Liu Chanyi.

Seeing the other party sitting here crying, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do outside, so he simply hid.

It's hard to prepare mentally and get ready to go out, but Gu Rui cuts off on the way.

Gu Zhang was a little angry in his heart, but he felt relieved, at least, he didn't have to face Liu Chanyi anymore.

To be honest, he didn't know how to face her, and since that was the case, he might as well not see her at all.

But he didn't realize that he was paying close attention to Liu Chanyi now.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet did not cause any problems because of Liu Chanyi's absence, everyone was talking and laughing, even if Liu Chanyi came back, it did not attract any attention.

Gu Rui didn't keep sending her back, but let her come back by herself when she was still some distance away from the banquet venue.

When the two came back together, if someone saw them, they might say something.

Gu Rui doesn't care much about these things, but he can't help but care about Liu Chanyi, her reputation is more important than himself.

The queen has sharp eyes, she saw Liu Chanyi as soon as she came back, she stretched out her hand and beckoned to the maid beside her, asking her to bring Liu Chanyi over.

As for whether Liu Chanyi still has the mind to attend this banquet, she really has no interest.

But this is hosted by the queen, anyway, I still have to save face, so I just hide in the corner like before, hoping not to be discovered.

Don't say she doesn't have much ambition, she really doesn't want to think so much now.

It's just that the sky is not what it wants.

Liu Chanyi sighed secretly in her heart, then walked up to the queen, saluted with a standard manner, "I have seen the empress."

Her etiquette was taught by the nuns in the palace, and she can be regarded as the best among all the official ladies.

"Come forward quickly." The queen couldn't help but smile when she saw Liu Chanyi, she always treated Liu Chanyi as her own daughter.

"Thank you, ma'am." Liu Chanyi sat down beside the queen.

As soon as he sat down, he attracted the attention of many people in the garden. Liu Chanyi didn't like this kind of scene, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Since she was young, she followed the queen's side, and she had already gotten used to this kind of scene. up.

"Xiaoya, what do you think of today's chrysanthemum appreciation feast?" The queen lowered her head slightly and asked in a gentle voice.

"The banquet hosted by the empress is naturally excellent." Liu Chanyi said, and then showed a sweet smile.

"That's right, the empress's eyes, that's nothing to say, if it were Xian'er who did it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it like this." Qi Zexian spoke as if seeing a needle.

The queen didn't take her words, but just took a sip of tea with a smile.

The candidate for the crown princess has not yet been decided, but she is also optimistic about Qi Zexian, but Rui'er is obviously unwilling, so she can only give up.

This Miss Qi family is obviously interested in this position, it's because her son doesn't understand style.

"Xiaoya, the last banquet was supposed to be your prince's elder brother's concubine selection banquet, but it ended up being nothing. I don't know what Xiaoya thinks, who will your prince's elder brother like?" The queen once again set her sights on Liu Chanyi.

This question made Liu Chanyi frowned slightly, what did the empress mean by asking this question?

She looked at the queen in confusion, "Your Majesty, Xiaoya doesn't know."

How could she not know?
The elder brother of the prince expressed his intentions to herself several times, but she already had someone in her heart. Fortunately, the elder brother never mentioned it after that, so she just pretended not to know.

Qi Zexian originally wanted to have a conversation with the empress, but at the banquet she had shown it so many times, and the empress had no preference for her, so why would Liu Chanyi get it.

Thinking about it, Qi Zexian became even more jealous of Liu Chanyi.

Liu Chanyi didn't know that Miss Qi harbored malice towards her because of this trivial matter, even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care.

Until the end, Liu Chanyi was not interested.

Mrs. Liu came to look for the heroine, and seemed to be in a good mood, "Xiaoya, did you see the golden silk ripples, as expected from the Western Regions, they look very beautiful."

"En." Liu Chanyi replied in a daze.

Mrs. Liu saw something was wrong with her daughter, and frowned slightly, "Xiaoya, what happened?"

"It's fine, I'm just a little tired." Liu Chanyi came back to her senses, and hugged Mrs. Liu's arm with some attachment, "I made Grandma worry."

"It doesn't matter if you worry me a little bit, as long as Xiaoya is fine." Mrs. Liu felt relieved.

As soon as the banquet was over, the palace became deserted.

The queen asked Prince Xuan to come to Fengluan Palace.

"Mother."

After a while, Gu Rui arrived and saluted.

"Today, all the ministers and ladies of the right age are here. You didn't choose last time, and you didn't even glance at the portrait. Now it's time to choose a crown princess." Mo, said in a gentle voice.

Gu Rui cupped his hands and said, "Queen Mother, I don't have anyone I like."

"Regardless of whether she is the one she likes or not, there still needs to be someone to take the position of the crown princess, and folk women are not worthy of this." The queen was not angry, and said kindly to the other party.

"It won't have a big impact if the position of the crown princess is empty for a while." Gu Rui is still stubborn.

"Gu Rui!" The queen threw the teacup on the table, spilling some tea on the table, obviously angry.

"Mother, please forgive me." After Gu Rui finished speaking, he lowered his head without saying a word.

Seeing her son's appearance with a mallet, the queen sighed, it was useless to say the unreasonable things no matter how many times.

After calming down, the queen asked, "You like the Liu family, don't you?"

Gu Rui was stunned for a moment, unable to react, and then looked at the queen, a little surprised, "How does the mother know?"

The queen raised her brows, as if she had seen through him, "I can see your little thoughts at a glance."

Then she frowned again, "Xiaoya grew up with you, the crown princess is not bad, but I don't know if she is willing."

"Don't think about it, she doesn't want to." The prince smiled wryly.

"That's right. Today, I asked her if she knew someone the prince likes. She replied that I don't know, obviously she is not interested in this prince." The queen sighed thinking, looking at her son with a look of indignation.

"You said that you can't compare to your uncle. It would be great if Xiaoya could be my daughter-in-law."

"My son, work hard." Gu Rui held back for a while before uttering this sentence.

The queen pressed her forehead, a little tired, "It's alright, alright, I'm tired."

"The matter about the princess..." Gu Rui was still thinking about it.

"I won't force you for now, but if your father asks, I won't help you."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." With these words, Gu Rui can also feel at ease for the time being. As for the question from the emperor, that's another matter.
