Businesswoman Chenghuang

Chapter 54 Coldness
The car drove into the gate of the palace and was ordered to stop. In the palace, except the emperor, people are not allowed to drive. People in the palace dare not complain, but Gu Wanyue doesn't care. A group of people surrounded by maidservants Following the eunuch leading the way, he quietly walked towards Ye Yuan where the banquet was arranged.

Ye Garden is draped in colored silk, dogwoods are planted everywhere, and chrysanthemums are placed. A unique fragrance of chrysanthemums is wafting, and the smell is refreshing.

The banquet hadn't started yet, so he was led to the side hall of Ye Yuan to rest for a while. The princes and female relatives of each family were separated and not in the same room, so as to avoid damaging the young lady's reputation.

Early in the morning, there were ladies and ladies from several families waiting here in their best attire, and when they saw the people from Prince Anyue's residence, they hurriedly got up and saluted to say hello.

The concubine Fang's demeanor was dignified and she didn't look sideways. The wives and ladies who passed several families sat on their seats, and a clever maid came forward and poured chrysanthemum tea.

Only then did people lift up the saluting people one by one, and the shelves were full.

After the initial politeness, they got used to it, because the lords of each family were all officials in the same dynasty, and they already had some contacts, so they chatted and laughed in small groups.

Gu Wanyue sat there politely, and Xinxiu explained to her in a low voice which ladies and wives there were in the palace, and she spoke clearly and logically.

"Miss, look at the lady in the lake blue silk pleated skirt sitting on the inside. She is Sun Yun, the only daughter of Mr. Sun, the Minister of Rites at that time. She is sixteen years old and can play the piano very well."

"The person talking and laughing with Concubine Su is the wife of Mrs. Ye from the Ministry of War, and the person wearing a jade-colored embroidered twig and flower skirt beside her is her youngest daughter. She is fifteen years old and has a simple and honest personality..."

Gu Wanyue listened to Xinxiu's single introduction, she felt dizzy for a while, she didn't want to compete with these people, she didn't need to inquire about each of them, she shook her head lightly and stopped talking, if Xinxiu said that again Going down, Gu Wanyue thought that calluses would definitely appear in her ears tonight.

Gu Wanyue glanced vaguely at Princess Fang, seeing her sitting upright with a blank expression, she felt a sigh of relief in her heart, do you need to toss yourself like this, if you are yourself, you will definitely die of exhaustion if you put on such a dignified appearance every day.

Looking at the side concubine Fu Shi, regardless of the occasion, she still had a charming look, and Gu Wanyue was annoyed by the charming look in the corner of her eyes.

The rest of the people didn't catch Gu Wanyue's attention. In fact, think about it, all those who have extraordinary wealth pay attention to a virtuous and virtuous woman. Which family's women are not carved out of the same mold. It sounds good to be a lady from a famous family. Not stuffy.

Fortunately, it was almost time for the banquet, and the maid in charge came to invite the ladies and ladies to the table politely, and she looked more obsequious when facing Princess Fang.

After all, it was a palace banquet, and there were strict requirements on the seats and dishes. Once they were lined up according to the rank of the official, some officials had already arrived. They were officials who were working in the palace.

The wives and ladies of several families came and sat down next to their masters in peace, and they were all in peace at such a grand palace banquet.

Around the time of Shenshi, all the high-ranking officials in Beijing had arrived. In a shrill shout to inform the eunuchs, Emperor Jing Han appeared with the empress in full attire, followed by several high-quality concubines. There are also dogwoods planted, the dazzling bright yellow thorns make people's eyes hurt, and they look like a heavenly family.

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

"Your Majesty is a thousand years old!"

Everyone kowtowed and shouted, the scene was majestic, it seemed to be a prosperous scene, but in reality it was nothing more than gold and jade, Gu Wanyue knelt in a hidden place, sneering at the corner of her mouth.

"Be flat!"

The empress sat down, and everyone got up. Afterwards, Emperor Jing Han said some congratulatory speeches with far-reaching meanings. It is only when the banquet is officially opened. Of course, there will inevitably be some small snacks such as chrysanthemum cakes early on during the banquet, for people to cushion their stomachs.

As the banquet unfolded, the main event also came. Look at the beautiful women from various families below, who is not smiling with spring breeze, eager to try.

Everything has always been from low to high, the finale appears last, and the one who performs first is also the one with the lowest official position.

No, at this moment, a Xiaojiabiyu in Mulan blue embroidered satin dress was babbling and singing, not to mention not having the momentum of everyone, even the chosen song is not suitable for this kind of banquet. Originally, the song was correct, but it was a little song only sung by folk girls, so how could it be used here.

Gu Wanyue glanced at Emperor Jing Han who was seated above, sure enough, with a drowsy look, this woman is out of action tonight.

However, at this moment, the queen beside Emperor Jing Han looked at Gu Wanyue, her slightly hanging phoenix eyes were unrestrained, and her cold eyes were full of... hatred, yes, hatred!

Gu Wanyue lowered her eyes in shock, her thoughts turned, where did the inexplicable hatred in the Queen's eyes come from?She never remembers offending her?Today is just the first meeting, so why is there any hatred!
While Gu Wanyue was thinking about it, she didn't notice that the queen whispered a few words to Emperor Jing Han, and the drowsy Emperor Jing Han immediately regained his energy, coughed, and motioned for the lowly performance to stop .

"King An Yue, I heard that Princess Qionghua's dancing posture is amazing, I wonder if she is here today?"

After all, he is the emperor, even if he is anxious in his heart, it is not easy to show it, so he asked King An Yue.

King An Yue always had a gloomy and cold face, even when facing the emperor, he stood up and bowed his hands as a salute, "Princess Qionghua is at the banquet."

Although Emperor Jing Han was not angry at King An Yue's contempt, he didn't dare to show it. He pretended not to see King An Yue's arrogance, and looked past him to Gu Wanyue who was sitting in an inconspicuous place. The eagerness in his eyes made Gu Wanyue There was a frown.

"Qinghua, you once danced all over the city in the phantom, can I have the honor to watch today?"

Emperor Jing Han said it implicitly, but there was no need for Gu Wanyue to refuse, because at this time the band had already started to adjust the rhythm of Mo Wu.

Gu Wanyue got up and looked up, she clearly saw the sneer at the corner of the queen's mouth, she felt disdainful, I'll dance for you to see!
"Your Majesty, Mo Wu needs to wear special dance clothes to dance to that rhythm. Please allow Wan Yue to change the dance clothes."

"Go, I and all the ministers are waiting." Emperor Jing Han waved his sleeves, pretending to be bold and said.

At this time, at the banquet, everyone was already whispering. Emperor Jing Han's move broke everyone's little tricks. Looking at the daughter who was also dressed in the same dress beside him, he compared Gu Wanyue and felt a burst of regret. My daughter has very little hope.
