After Bai Yueguang was reborn, the regent became black

Chapter 24

As soon as Gu Yunxi stepped into the round arch of the garden, she met Qiu Ju who was beside the old lady and happened to come to look for her.

Seeing Gu Yunxi, Qiu Ju hurriedly said: "The old lady is asking the slaves to look for the second lady, saying that the banquet is about to begin."

At this time, in addition to the main seat in the north, the guest seats on the east and west sides of the water pavilion were almost full of people.

At the guest table on the west side were noble ladies and young ladies, headed by Mrs. Xue and Xue Shi'an. From this we can see the status of the two in Mrs. Liu's heart.

Then came the prime minister's wife, Yao Yurou, Mrs. Lin, and sisters Lin Yiyao.Further down are Li Yiyi, Sun Shuyi and others.

As for the guest seats on the east side, the two leading seats were still empty, and Li Yanjun, Wu Yu, Sun Youcai and others were sitting in the back one by one.

As for Mrs. Qi and Young Master Qi, because this banquet did not invite the family members of officials below the fifth rank.

Therefore, the two naturally sat at the end of the two sides of the banquet.

Gu Yunxi followed Qiuju to the banquet, and when passing by Li Yiyi and Sun Shuyan, she saw them looking at her gloatingly.

Sun Shuyi snorted coldly and said, "See how arrogant you will be later!"

Gu Yunxi didn't stop, and walked directly past the two of them, as if she didn't hear anything, and didn't even give her a look.

Li Yiyi and Sun Shuyi are pampered eldest ladies at home, and they are also sought after by everyone when they go out. They have never been so ignored by others.

The two suffered a great loss in Gu Yunxi's hands today, so they naturally refused to let it go.

Gu Yunxi wanted to be angry at first, but she was so defiant that she was so angry that she wished she could teach her a lesson now.

Lin Ansheng and Lin Yanwan sat together, and the seats next to Lin Yiyao and the old lady were empty.Gu Yunxi walked towards Lin Yiyao's side.

"Xi'er, sit here." The old lady signaled Gu Yunxi to sit beside her.

Lin Yiyao's expression changed in an instant, watching Gu Yunxi sit down beside the old lady, her hands clenched in her sleeves, the anger in her eyes seemed to burn two holes in Gu Yunxi's body.

After Lin Yiyao returned to the water pavilion from the garden, she has been sitting beside the old lady.Unexpectedly, as the table was about to start, the old lady actually let herself move to the guest table below her.

She thought that the old lady wanted to be quiet and planned to sit alone.Unexpectedly, she was actually asked to make room for that bitch Gu Yunxi!
The old lady brought her four sisters to the banquet today, and let Gu Yunxi sit beside her in public, which was to tell everyone how much she loves Gu Yunxi.

She really didn't think about the feelings of her first daughter.

She is the first daughter of Shang Shufu, and that should be her position.With her as a concubine, how could it be Gu Yunxi's concubine's turn to sit beside the old lady grandly.

I'm afraid that some people will guess that the old lady doesn't like her and watch her jokes secretly.

Lin Yiyao's eyes swept over the people at the banquet, Xue Shi'an sat in the first seat, looking at her with a smile on his face, but the sarcasm in his eyes was still easily caught by Lin Yiyao.

Even Li Yiyi and Sun Shuyi at the bottom looked at her quietly, whispering to each other, maybe laughing at her in their hearts!
Lin Yiyao clenched her hands even harder, the veins on her neck protruded slightly, and her black eyes were full of hatred.

Gu Yunxi, today I will ruin your reputation!I will let you experience the fate of opposing me!

"Mrs. Liu has arrived, and the Regent has arrived—" the voice of the servant girl announced.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a beautiful lady approaching slowly, surrounded by maidservants, at the other end of the water pavilion.

Behind her were two men, Jin Jin and Shen Zhi whom Gu Yunxi saw in the gazebo today.

Shen Zhi's original black brocade robe has been replaced with a red dress, and the face of the red dress is as gorgeous as a jade crown.

A pair of clear and cold eyes like cold stars, mixed with a touch of sadness, makes people intoxicated, and can't look away for a long time.

During the banquet, many young women looked at him and blushed.

"Which family is the man next to the regent?"

"He is not a son of any family, he is a well-known wealthy businessman in the capital city."

The voices of two people discussing in low voices in the banquet reached Gu Yunxi's ears.

"A rich businessman? How can a rich businessman have such an honor?" There was obvious doubt in his tone.

"Of course it's not just wealthy businessmen." The speaker, with a look of not knowing how to speak, looked around and continued in a low voice.

"This person returned to Beijing with the Prince Regent more than three months ago, and has been living in the Prince Regent's Mansion since then. He goes in and out with the Prince Regent every day. He is... the Prince Regent's favorite boy."

"Male pet!" Gu Yunxi heard this, the wine glass in her hand was unsteady and almost fell to the ground.

She recalled the scenes in the gazebo today, and felt that what this person said was somewhat reasonable.

Others were terrified when they saw the regent, and they didn't even dare to approach him.This Jin Jin was not only fearless by Shen Zhi's side, but even a little presumptuous.

Shen Zhi's behavior towards him is also very conniving, which is really doubtful.It's just. It's just that Shen knew when did he start liking men?Is it the frontier?
Gu Yunxi thought further and further, and did not notice that Mrs. Liu had walked in front of her at all.

"Yunxi." A slightly trembling, yet unbelievable voice sounded.

Gu Yunxi suddenly raised her head, only to see Mrs. Liu with tears in her eyes, looking at herself in her mouth.

"Yunxi! It's really Yunxi! Xiaozhi is really Yunxi!"

Shen Zhi's eyes flicked over Gu Yunxi's face, his eyes as deep as a cold pool seemed to be filled with countless threads of emotion, complicated and subtle, it was hard to see even a hair.

Gu Yunxi tried her best to ignore the gaze on her body that seemed to be able to see through the soul, and said in a stiff voice:

"Lin Xi, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, pays homage to Madam Liu, the regent."

"I was confused." Mrs. Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and forced out a slightly apologetic smile.

Mrs. Liu treats Shen Zhi like her own son, so she naturally treats her like her own daughter-in-law.Mrs. Liu has two sons but no daughter, so she can be said to be doting on her.

Gu Yunxi recalled the past, as if it had been a lifetime.

At that time, she felt that the happiest person in the world was none other than herself.

The father and mother are in good health and very loving.The elder brother of the prince is generous and benevolent, his brother and sister are harmonious, and he governs the country well.Shen Zhi puts her first in everything, the two are childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.

In the end, she didn't keep anything after all.
Mrs. Liu returned to the banquet with a sleepy expression, and called everyone to sit down, and the banquet officially started.

Although everyone had many doubts in their hearts, seeing Mrs. Liu's sad expression, they did not dare to say more.

"Miss, are you alright?" Longan asked with concern, seeing that Gu Yunxi was restless.

Gu Yunxi shook her head, and drank the herbal tea in front of her in one gulp.The cool tea slowly flowed down his throat, barely calming down the dryness in his heart.

When the wine was half full, Mrs. Liu put down the white jade cup in her hand and said:

"I got a red coral phoenix hairpin two days ago. It's extremely beautiful but too gorgeous. Today, seeing all the young ladies as beautiful as flowers and jade, it's just right to wear it.

But which lady to give this to, it's embarrassing for me.Why don't you invite the ladies to perform a performance or two, which can be regarded as adding color to my banquet. I wonder if you are willing? "

Under normal circumstances, a lady from an aristocratic family would naturally disdain to show it in public.But at this time, everyone knew that this was to choose a concubine for the regent.

Everyone is eager to try, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you can really win the favor of the regent, then you will fly to the branch.

Besides, the gathering of the princes of the rich and powerful families today is also a good opportunity to become famous, and it should not be missed no matter what!
