The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

Chapter 42
On July [-]th, the Qianqiu Day of the Empress of the Southern Dynasty, the whole palace began to prepare for this palace banquet ten days before the order of the imperial concubine Ling.

The Qianqiu Banquet is held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The layout of the palace, the preparation of dishes, the selection of banquet wine, and the classification of utensils can be said to be carefully prepared before being used.

On that day, first the relatives of the emperor, wives of all officials and ladies from various families paid homage, and then all the officials entered, and everyone had a banquet.

This time, no theater troupe or dancers were arranged to add to the fun. After the banquet, the ladies who had prepared the program would come on stage one after another to perform.

After the banquet was over, the empress specially arranged for all the wives and young ladies to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the lotus.

It wasn't until nightfall, after everyone watched the lanterns in the palace, that the Qianqiu Banquet was over.

Empress Lu's Qianqiu Day.

Su Youning, who hadn't had a good night's sleep, woke up early, and with the help of Ruyi, she changed into a decent palace attire, and then sat in front of the bronze mirror and let Jixiang dress her up, looking at the slightly immature face in the bronze mirror with royal combs. She pursed her lips and said that relatives and relatives had hair buns in the palace.

"Auspicious, dress more elegantly today, don't be too ostentatious."

Jixiang nodded and muttered softly.

"The concubine is clearly so good-looking, but she is not allowed to dress up."

Su Youning smiled wryly and shook her head slightly, how did Jixiang know that today's Qianqiu Banquet is not easy, it is best for her not to attract attention, then she thought that she would pay homage first today, and wondered if she would be able to meet Qin Su!
It's just that Su Youning didn't know that after applying a little makeup, she had an indescribably elegant and cool feeling against that palace attire, which made people sink in at a glance.

In front of the gate of Prince Yu's mansion, it indicated that His Highness Prince Yu's carriage was already waiting outside.

Su Youning knew in his heart that even Chu Yu, who was at odds with Empress Lu, was going to attend today. Under the guidance of Butler Liu, Su Youning got into the carriage.

Today is the palace banquet, Su Youning only brought Ruyi who acted more prudently.

On the carriage, before Chu Yu arrived, Su Youning was still sitting in the same place. After a while, the curtain was lifted by Ze Lan, and the servant carried Chu Yu who was in a wheelchair into the carriage.

Su Youning and Chu Yu met each other's eyes, this was the first time the two met since Su Youning's retaliatory injection last time.

Chu Yu's eyes were cold, and he only glanced at Su Youning before looking away.

The last time the needle was given, Chu Yu realized Su Youning's vengeful heart belatedly, but Chu Yu restrained his anger because he could sleep peacefully after using Su Youning's homemade sandalwood for several days.

However, although Chu Yu didn't get rough on Su Youning, after she left the inner room, Chu Yu was so angry that he swept all the things he could see on the ground with his palm, and the room was in a mess.

Even Ze Lan who rushed in to check the situation was inexplicably rewarded by Chu Yu.

It can be seen that Chu Yu was very angry with Su Youning!

Back in the carriage, after the servant settled Chu Yu, Ze Lan put down the curtain, and Su Youning spoke softly.

"Concubine sees Your Highness."

Su Youning thought to herself, if the situation was critical today, maybe Chu Yu would have to rely on the first aid, and it would be better for the two of them to reconcile than to enter the palace stiffly.

Chu Yu snorted coldly, and ignored Su Youning.

Su Youning pursed her lips, as if she wanted to break the awkward atmosphere between the two, her tone was flattering.

"Your Highness, are your legs better these two days?"

Chu Yu casually put his hands on both sides of the wheelchair and hung down on his lower abdomen. He was looking sideways at the scenery outside the carriage. He listened to Su Youning's words intended to ease the atmosphere, recalled that the pain in his legs had indeed improved in the past few days, and subconsciously looked back at Su Youning.

When he got into the carriage, he only glanced lightly and didn't look carefully. At this moment, he realized that Su Youning was dressed in an extraordinarily elegant and beautiful way, as if she was born to wear such a dress. With her slightly playful and quiet expression at the moment, there were two people in his mind. The scene of overlapping shadows strikes again.

Chu Yu's calm expression immediately turned cold, and his tone of voice was a little colder than usual.

"Su Youning, the Palace of Qianqiu Banquet knows what you're thinking today, but you'd better give up. I don't care about your life and death today, and I don't want to."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yu leaned back slightly, closed his eyes as if resting his mind.

Su Youning was choked, so angry that she could only clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, gritted her teeth, and thought to herself: Good for you, Chu Yu!Better not fall into my hands!
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace.

The guards at the gate of the palace recognized at a glance that the carriage from Prince Yu's Mansion was coming at this moment, and immediately let it go after saluting respectfully.

Su Youning looked at the scenery along the way with the curtain that was blown by the breeze.

It was different from the corridor leading to Kunning Palace last time. This time, she had no intention of admiring the majestic palace city, red walls and green tiles. She didn't know what the Qianqiu Banquet would be like today. It doesn't matter, thinking of this can't help but make her a little dazed.

The carriage parked outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is very magnificent. It consists of three parts: the front hall, the middle hall, and the back hall. The front hall is the most luxurious and magnificent, and it is the main place for palace banquets. As a place to rest, the apse has a larger area and many wing rooms, and it is a place for attendants or maidservants to rest.

Chu Yu and Su Youning are both relatives of the imperial family, and they need to go inside together to pay homage.

The person who was in charge of welcoming the audience was Lin Suya, the first-rank wife of the prime minister's mansion, who was also Lu Pingting's mother and the sister-in-law of the current empress.

Naturally, Su Youning didn't recognize him, got out of the carriage and only followed Chu Yu in.

Lin Suya recognized at a glance that the person in the wheelchair was the Third Highness Chu Yu, so the woman walking beside her in palace attire was naturally Princess Yu.

She raised her chin slightly, and looked up and down at the woman beside Chu Yu from a certain distance. She looked soft and weak, and she was very elegantly dressed. Such an immature woman was actually Su Youning, who made the queen angry and Pingting lost face. .

Immediately afterwards, Lin Suya frowned and coldly ordered a few words to the maids following her.

Everyone in the palace knew what kind of person the one sitting in the wheelchair was. Hearing Lin Suya's order, the eldest maid among them whispered.

"Mrs. Lin, that is His Royal Highness King Yu, what if you angered and ruined the Queen's Empress' Qianqiu Banquet?"

Neither of the two court ladies dared to follow Lin Suya's orders, after all, they were the only ones who cared about their own lives!

Lin Suya's brows and eyes flashed a hint of calculation, and she ordered again in a low voice.

In the end, he had to say a few more threats, and the two maids nodded.

Su Youning was about to follow Chu Yu into the room, when suddenly, two palace maids from the Palace of Kunning stood in front of the group of Prince Yu's mansion.

The two maids saluted respectfully at the same time.

"Slaves see His Royal Highness King Yu."

"May I ask if this is Princess Yu?"

Chu Yu didn't speak, and turned the white jade finger on the thumb of his right hand with his left hand, as if he didn't care what others asked.

Su Youning pursed her lips, and Ruyi stepped forward to return the salute.

"The one next to this servant is Princess Yu. I wonder if the two aunts have any advice?"

A court lady lowered her head slightly, and did not forget to glance at Chu Yu's expression at the moment, seeing that he was calm and composed and didn't care what they said, she hurriedly spoke.

"Today, Princess Yu is the first concubine in the Empress's Qianqiu Banquet, so I invite Princess Yu to follow the slaves and maidservants to pay homage in the hall first."
