Chapter 70 Hongmen Family Banquet
Three days later, autumn begins.

At the suggestion of Concubine Mengyi, a family banquet was held in the palace to show that the Dongqi royal family was reunited.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is still many days away. Why is there another family banquet in the palace? There is a big banquet for three days and a small banquet for two days. It is really endless."

Gu Yuchu was complaining and worrying about dressing up. Without Gu Yuxin's help, she was in a hurry and was in a bad mood.

"When there are banquets in the palace, the prince usually goes or refuses according to his mood, so the princess doesn't have to deal with it all the time." Liansheng explained while combing her hair.

"I really want to stay far away from those children and their families. They all turn around and say flattering words, and secretly compete with each other on hairpins, dresses, and husband's family's achievements. It's very boring."

It was rare for Gu Yuchu to tell the truth. She really didn't like that kind of scene. A group of people would say something here and there, jumping into other people's conversations without paying attention. They didn't reply but were dissatisfied. It was very frustrating.

"Master, I heard that the pastries in the palace are very delicious. If I can enter the palace, I will eat and drink a lot. Who cares what others say." When it comes to the palace, Liansheng's mind is filled with delicious food. .

"Then you go for me and eat him without leaving a trace." Gu Yuchu was amused by her words and chuckled.

"Then the prince must beat me to death! Okay, okay, these are just the simplest hair accessories and clothes. It's really boring for you to be a princess!" Liansheng has been following Gu Yuchu for a long time, and he has become more and more naughty. He even dared to tease her. His own master.

"Children's family." Gu Yuchu couldn't stop laughing, then he held the hairpin in his hair, picked up the hem of his trailing skirt, and stood up to go to the front yard.

At this time, Gu Yuxin had already dressed up and was waiting in the front yard. She was wearing a Zhang Dan skirt and mutton-fat jade steps. She was beautiful and unique, and she was truly the most beautiful woman in Dongqi.

Although he is not born from a mother, he must still be born from the same father. This is too unfair, Gu Yuchu muttered in his heart while admiring it.

She lowered her head and looked at the straw-yellow dress she was wearing that concealed her hidden intentions. Although it looked ordinary, the embroidery work was excellent. The corners of the skirt were embroidered with honeysuckle with silver thread, which would shine under the sun or candlelight.

However, if she is not pretty enough, no matter how nice she is, it is useless, and she can't help but laugh at herself.

As soon as the two sisters said hello, they saw King Qin and Gun Nanxi walking from the backyard together from a distance.

Gun Nanxi had a sweet smile on her face, and her moon-white skirt and Qizhen's cobalt-colored gown looked like a perfect match.

Gu Yuxin laughed at her sister and rolled her eyes, mocking the self-proclaimed princess of Nanxi for being so ignorant.Gu Yuchu felt very awkward and did not respond. He just pulled his sister out of the door.

Two carriages had been waiting at the entrance of the mansion. Gu Yuchu glanced at Qi Jian and saw that he had no arrangements, so he pulled Gu Yuxin into the carriage behind.

"Sister, you are the princess, how come you let her take the throne?" Gu Yuxin was very unconvinced.

"You didn't see how they were dressed. It wouldn't be a pity if they didn't sit together." Gu Yuchu was also a little angry. The man promised to come back to find her in the evening yesterday, but by midnight he was nowhere to be seen and actually ran into the courtyard of Gunanxi. went.

"Then we can't just suffer the loss of being dumb." Gu Yuxin was still unwilling to give up, holding on to the injustice for her sister.

"Can't you understand the way you frame your brother? Today is all about giving the Nanchang Prince's face. Although there is a family banquet in the palace, the King of Nanchang, Princess Chaoyang, the old king of Zhenxi, the king of Dongding and the princess are all here. If you want to participate, if Gu Nanxi is not taken seriously, then there will be a rift between the King of Nanchang and the prince, and if someone takes the opportunity, something may happen again."

"Sister, should I praise you for being virtuous?" Gu Yuxin pouted, but she still wasn't happy.

"You just remember that you are the best in the palace."

Gu Yuchu was careless and avoided the topic.

Although she looked indifferent on the surface, she felt extremely uncomfortable inside, but she refused to show it, lest she let the man know how much she cared about him.

At the palace banquet, the appearance of King Qin and his family members attracted everyone's attention. After all, the candidate for the crown prince has been decided, and Qi frame is the future master, so he must pay enough attention to it.

What's more, today's opening ceremony is different from the past. He always takes care of Gun Nanxi and looks affectionate. Gu Yuchu, as the principal concubine of the King of Qin, looks very desolate when her title is taken away from her.

Fortunately, due to Qi Yijue's conviction, Prince Ning's residence was sealed off, leaving one of the good-hearted Zhao sisters missing.In addition, Prince Rong lost the power of his mother's family and his future was hopeless. Zhao Yunhe also knew how to be respectful and polite and no longer took the lead.

But the women could not help but whisper, but no one dared to provoke them. Gu Yuchu felt much more at ease. Anyway, he had listened to countless gossips, and he didn't care about a few more.

Others praised Gu Yuxin's beauty, and she smiled in agreement.

Others praised the King of Qin for his unparalleled bravery, and everyone at the front and back were in agreement, and she also laughed along with him.

But when others deliberately flattered King Qin and Gu Nanxi that they were a perfect match and loved each other, she almost couldn't pretend anymore.

So, she simply took a glass of sweet wine and went outside to the verandah alone to enjoy the evening breeze.

"It's your own fault!" Qi Yiyu, who was drinking alone in the dark, mocked in a low voice.

Gu Yuchu was startled, and then responded politely: "It's the King of Han, we meet again."

"There is no need to say goodbye between you and me." Qi Yiyu's tone was as bad as ever.

"It seems that King Han hates me to the core." Gu Yuchu smiled bitterly, and at the same time felt sorry for his infatuation with Gu Yuxin.

"She lives a very happy life. If you treat her sincerely, you should be happy for her."

Qi Yiyu remained silent and raised his head to drink the wine in the pot. Even though he comforted himself in this way, without the self-righteous, selfish and vain woman in front of him, he and Gu Yuxin would not be the same. will get to this point today.

"You will not end well." After leaving these heart-wrenching words, King Han strode back to the main hall.Gu Yuchu shrugged slightly, curled her lips, and snorted, knowing that it was boring. She gritted her teeth and had to swallow this grievance.

She stayed alone for a while and then returned to the banquet. When passing by Zhenxi Old Wang's seat, she happened to meet the old Princess face to face, so she had to greet her politely and politely.

"The old princess is well."

"Whose girl are you from?" Although Princess Zhenxi has silver hair, she is bright, dignified and has the same style. She must have been a beauty when she was young.

"Back to the old princess, I am Princess Qin."

"How do you know my identity when we meet for the first time?"

"Since the death of the Queen Mother, you have been the most noble ancestor of Dongqi. Although I have never had the honor to meet you before, the ladies and gentlemen who fill the table today are the most graceful, elegant, calm and calm of you." Gu Yuchu He praised with half respect and half flattery.

"I know that a head full of silver strands is the most eye-catching, but I like to hear what you say." The old concubine bent her eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes looked particularly gentle.

The two women, who were very different in age, hit it off immediately and laughed at each other.

"Tell me something funny and tell it to Chang Feng." Zhenxi Lao Wang didn't know when he came closer and spoke softly to his wife. In his whole life of being decisive and fighting, he was only gentle to this one woman. Be cautious and follow your advice.

"Whose ancestor are you from?" The old princess looked at her husband with a puzzled face, as if looking at a stranger.

"I am your husband, your Changfeng." Zhenxi Laowang smiled helplessly, but he was still patient and gentle.

"Nonsense, my Changfeng is brave and brave, not a bad old man like you." The old princess frowned, very dissatisfied.

"What a joke, my beloved concubine is old and no one knows her anymore." Zhenxi Laowang looked bitter and explained to Gu Yuchu without any hesitation.

"How's the old prince?" Gu Yuchu said hello respectfully.

"It's also strange. Although no one remembers my beloved concubine, she is also used to being proud and does not joke with others casually. Today she is in love with you."

"It is a blessing for the younger generation."

"Are you Qi Jian's wife?"

"Ah."

Zhenxi Laowang looked at Gu Yuchu carefully for a long time, and said "Let's go" thoughtfully and half-smiling, before ending this conversation that was far from familiar.

Gu Yuchu said goodbye again and hurried away from their seats. She felt very guilty, but she couldn't explain why.She was just about to go back to her seat and ask for another jug ​​of good wine, but unexpectedly, she was bumped into by the maid carrying the wine, and the wine spilled all over her.

Now, the less he wanted to be noticed, the more he attracted everyone's attention.

I don’t know why today, I’m really unlucky!She sighed silently.

Seeing his wife in such embarrassment, Qi Jian couldn't help but frown.

Gun Nanxi also caught Qi Lian's disgusted expression, and raised his eyebrows with great joy.During the dinner, Zhao Yunhe secretly laughed at her ugliness, while the other female family members also quietly watched the excitement.

"You deserve to die, miss. Please spare your life, miss." The maid was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground. However, she had just entered the palace and had never seen Princess Qin before, so she had to call her miss.

"Miss, that's Princess Qin!" Someone with good intentions said something to the side.

This time, Gu Yuchu was even more embarrassed.

"You stupid thing, go down and get twenty bucks yourself!"

"Your Majesty, please spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"

At this moment, Zhang Mengyi gave an order, and the maid turned pale with fright. She quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. She knew that the imperial concubine would never be merciful to the slaves who caused trouble. These twenty pieces didn't sound like much, but they were enough. She lost half her life.

"It doesn't matter, I was walking carelessly and bumped into her. Concubine, please forgive her." When Gu Yuchu saw this, he quickly opened his mouth to come to the rescue, but a teenager would suffer such a big punishment for a small mistake. , she really couldn't bear it.

"Then today, for the sake of Princess Qin, I won't punish you, so get out of here quickly."

Zhang Mengyi squinted her peach blossom eyes and readily gave Gu Yuchu face, but she still did not change her usual domineering attitude towards her subordinates.

Then she turned to Gu Yuchu, immediately put on a gentle look, and said caringly: "This is the closest to Haoyue Palace. If Princess Qin doesn't dislike it, she can go with me to freshen up."

"Thank you, noble concubine."

Gu Yuchu admired the two-faced Zhang Mengyi very much and felt deeply that the fairies who had been trained in the palace were really extraordinary.

But she knew better in her heart that Zhang Mengyi could not be so attentive to others. He just wanted her to move somewhere else. She probably had something to say to herself alone.
