Dressed as the sister of the runaway heroine

Chapter 69 The Palace Banquet
Just as Gu Heng was about to speak, he saw the emperor in imperial robes coming in from outside, followed by a few servants.

The emperor had a slight smile on his face, obviously in a good mood today.

A few days ago, maybe Gu Rong had a quarrel with the emperor, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time. When Gu Rong saw the emperor, he couldn't help saying in a low voice: "The concubine has seen the emperor."

The emperor coughed a few times, and said: "The past two days have been a bit busy, today Sanlang is with Aifei."

Gu Rong stretched out his hand to hold the emperor's hand, which was extremely affectionate.

Gu Heng and Chen Shi followed behind, and because they were honored by the emperor, they sat on the imperial chariot, and the concubine's birthday was in the newly built Xiyuan.

Where the water is drawn from the natural river, special treatment has been done in the middle of the walls of the entire palace, and the water is introduced into the walls, which is very cool even in the dog days.

Last summer, several maids died of heat in the palace, and the emperor was too hot, so he took out silver from the inner treasury and built Xiyuan on the west side of the Forbidden City.

He said that he would move there with the ladies in the palace when it was hotter.

This time it is the first time to use it for the concubine's birthday.

However, Gu Heng heard some rumors outside that this Xiyuan was for Gu Rongxiu, and many people called Gu Rong the reincarnation of the demon concubine.

But in fact, the construction of Xiyuan started last year, and Gu Rong entered the palace for less than half a year.

Gu Rong was responsible for the massive construction work.

After they left the palace, they changed to the imperial chariot of the emperor.

Gu Heng secretly lifted the curtain of the car, and the carriage behind was the queen mother and the concubine. I heard that the pregnant concubine Wang Guifei also got into the carriage.

Today is not a day of patrolling in micro-clothes, so both sides of the imperial road are full of imperial forest troops, carefully look at the entire imperial road covered with loess, when they leave the imperial road and reach the street, the people on both sides of the street also bow their heads and kneel.

The emperor was in Xiwu Palace, and he treated the Gu family very close, even Gu Heng sometimes forgot that they were married to the royal family.

She feels that the imperial palace is not much different from the outside, but this time, it seems that she has never seen the world.

There are gongs and drums outside, and the ceremony and music are in harmony.

More than a dozen servants and court ladies were walking outside the car, and one of the senior servants said in a low voice, "Miss, it's not royal etiquette to probe your head."

Gu Heng hurriedly lowered the car curtain, she actually felt a little suffocated in this incomparably gorgeous royal car.

Thinking of what to do next, Gu Heng closed his eyes.

After walking for about an hour, Gu Heng felt that he had stopped. A servant outside opened the door and said to Gu Heng, "Miss, we have arrived in Xiyuan."

Gu Heng pushed open the door, only to see the servant kneeling on the ground like a puppy, meaning that Gu Heng stepped on his back to get down.

Gu Heng picked up his wide skirt and said, "I'll come down by myself."

Gu Heng nimbly jumped off the imperial chariot.

She looked forward, only to see a huge vermilion wall, and the wide gate opened with ten people side by side. At this moment, the emperor and Concubine Rong walked into the gate of Xiyuan.

The father-in-law standing next to Gu Heng said in a low voice: "Miss, you come with the servant."

Only those with status can enter through the main entrance, and Gu Heng can only enter through the other side entrance together with the wives of some courtiers.

Speaking of which, she didn't have so many rules when she entered the palace.

The father-in-law lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, but he was unwilling to say a word to Gu Heng, but after entering this Xiyuan, Gu Heng felt a burst of coolness.

Walking through a long winding corridor, you will see a lake of more than ten acres. There are several very exquisite waterwheels in it. The water in the lake is always flowing, obviously it is running water.

The father-in-law took Gu Heng to a house, not the main hall.

Gu Heng sat for a while, then Shao Yao came and took her away.

Shao Yao said: "The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are really real. Although the girl has no status now, she is the younger sister of the imperial concubine. How can she be arranged to stay where the courtiers and family members stay?"

Gu Heng was taken aback for a moment, no wonder she was obviously sitting in the imperial car, but she was taken away alone. It seems that some people can't understand her.

Gu Heng hurriedly asked, "Where is the imperial concubine?"

Shao Yao took Gu Heng to the main hall. Most of the buildings in Xiyuan are on the water, and the clothes of the maids in Xiyuan are also quite different from the old-fashioned palace attire in the palace.

The verandah is full of thin gauze curtains, blown by the lake wind, and the clothes of the maids are also extremely elegant, it really seems to be in the fairy palace.

This royal will indeed enjoy.

Shao Yao took Gu Heng to the main hall.

Gu Heng raised his head and looked at the main hall, only to see Qingliang Hall written in seal script on the top of the main hall. The hall is about tens of feet high, even if it accommodates hundreds of people, it will not feel crowded.

Gu Heng followed Shaoyao into the palace, Gu Heng felt a burst of coolness as soon as he entered, and then looked up, the emperor was naturally the main seat, the queen mother and concubine were on the left, Rong Guifei was on the right, Wang Guifei was behind Rong Guifei.

The two were separated by a seat.

Gu Heng saw his mother in the second row behind Concubine Rong, she was sitting upright, she looked like a famous lady.

But after seeing Gu Heng, he quickly reached out to her and asked her to come over.

Shao Yao took Gu Heng to prepare to go there, but the emperor, who could talk to the concubine all the time, looked at Gu Heng, and said to Gu Heng, "Ah Heng, come and sit here, closer to your sister and me."

Wang Guifei's expression turned ugly immediately, she said: "Your Majesty, this is not in compliance with the rules."

Gu Heng only felt his eyelids twitching non-stop.

The emperor smiled and said: "It's okay, we are all one family, and I really like Ah Heng's sincerity, it really makes people have to love it."

The eternal protagonist in the palace banquet is naturally the emperor. The emperor said such words to his sister-in-law, and the concubines and courtiers below talked a lot.

Although the emperor came to the throne not long ago, he also had more than a dozen concubines.

Wang Guifei's face became more and more stiff, and the queen mother who was always smiling said: "Emperor, the Ai family also really likes this child, Ah Heng, so they want to find a marriage for her. save face."

Gu Heng stared outside, she thought of an extremely fatal problem.

Here is water, how to set fire.

Before the emperor and Concubine Rong could answer, King Duan stood up in a formal attire, and said loudly: "My son, I wish Concubine Ningde a long life in Nanshan and a thousand years."

Originally, the emperor should pay homage to his birthday first, followed by others.

But with King Duan's status and power, the other princes and clan members naturally came out to pay their respects to the emperor at home.

The empress dowager sits beside the empress dowager, like a Maitreya Buddha.

Greet everyone with a smile.

Even when it was Gu Heng's and Chen's turn, the friendly smile on her face could not be faked.

Gu Heng became more and more curious about this concubine.

After Gu Heng paid his birthday greetings, he returned to his seat.

The next birthday person came up. She was wearing a light blue long dress, her hair was combed meticulously, and her face was respectful. Even though she was not well-dressed, she could still see a trace of extraordinary temperament from her eyebrows and eyes.

She is Wang Shiru.
