Empress Dowager Ning is sick, so she will naturally not go to tonight's palace banquet. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The eldest princess of Anping accompanied the Empress Dowager Ning for a while, until the Empress Dowager Ning was a little tired, and then led Gu Qingwei to Kunning Palace to see Empress Xu.

Kunning Palace was already full of people at this time, and Queen Xu was surrounded by the crown princess and others, I don't know what she said, but she was smiling.

Seeing that the eldest princess of Anping was leading Gu Qing in the future, Queen Xu hurriedly beckoned them to sit down.

A group of female dependents gossiped, this time passed quickly, and soon there were palace people to spread the word, the palace banquet has been prepared, Emperor Yuanchang invited the ministers and women to the banquet.

After all, it is winter, and the palace banquet cannot be set up in the palace back garden like the Mid-Autumn Festival, but in the Baohe Palace.

Although the sky is getting dark, the Baohe Hall is brightly lit at this time, and the civil and military officials who are seated one after another, the internal and external women who are carefully dressed up according to the big makeup, and the palace maids and eunuchs who come and go, at first glance, it is so lively and prosperous.

Gu Qingwei was led by the palace maid to sit next to Ning Zhiyuan.

The two have been separated since they entered the palace, and Ning Zhiyuan quietly looked at Gu Qingwei for a long time to confirm that she was not bullied in the palace, which can be regarded as a relief.

Gu Qingwei couldn't cry or laugh a little, and squinted at him several times before he said: "Look at you, this palace is not a Longtan Tiger's Den, and I have been following my mother all the time, is it possible that someone can eat me?"

Ning Zhiyuan looked at Gu Qingwei disapprovingly.

Isn't this palace the Longtan Tiger's Den?

He hadn't forgotten what kind of big loss Gu Qingwei almost suffered during the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet last year.

Thinking of this, Ning Zhiyuan's face sank at first, but then he was happy again, it was only a little more than a year, looking at this year's palace banquet, not only was Concubine Liu Xian missing, but even Chu Chengqi and Princess Yongchang could only live in seclusion in the Jingwang Mansion and the Princess Mansion, how could it not make people happy?

When Concubine Liu Xian came up with such a stupid trick, she definitely didn't expect that Chu Chengqi, who was originally fine, would be completely disgusted by Emperor Yuanchang because of her sudden insertion.

It can only be said that a drink and a beak have their own fate.

Looking at the head again, Emperor Yuanchang and Empress Xu sat side by side, the Queen Mother did not arrive, and Emperor Yuanchang sat on the other side of Zheng Guifei, and several concubines sat on both sides.

And under the steps of Emperor Yuanchang's seat, the left and right sides extend down, which is the seat of the monarch and the internal and external women.

Gu Qing didn't raise his eyes to the emperor's seat, originally just a casual glance, but then he was suspicious in his heart, gently pulled the sleeve of Laning Zhiyuan, and whispered in his ear: "Yue Zhi, didn't you say last time that the emperor's body is not very good recently, and his spirit is insufficient, how can he look at the past, not only does he not see malaise, but it makes people feel how many years younger?"

I wasn't afraid that Gu Qingwei would be so surprised.

During this time, Emperor Yuanchang's body was concerned by the government and the opposition, and even today's palace banquet, if it wasn't for Emperor Yuanchang's speech a long time in advance, I am afraid that the ministers will also cancel this palace banquet for the sake of Emperor Yuanchang's dragon body.

Gu Qing didn't remember, yesterday Ning Zhiyuan also told her about Emperor Yuanchang's early rise and poor spirits yesterday, it was only a day, how could it be that he was not only full of energy, but also seemed to be several years younger in one or two nights, didn't he take some kind of immortal medicine?

Ning Zhiyuan had been worried about Gu Qingwei before, and of course he didn't pay attention to Emperor Yuanchang's face, but at this time, he was reminded by Gu Qingwei like this, and he really saw the difference.

Not only that, Emperor Yuanchang seems to have a much closer attitude towards Concubine Zheng than usual.

Looking at Empress Xu, who was sitting at the same table with Emperor Yuanchang, although she still smiled gently and dignifiedly, her slightly pale lips also made people guess her mood at the moment.

There are also the crown prince and the crown princess at the bottom left of Emperor Yuanchang, although they are not exposed to their minds, but the smile on their faces is always a little less hot.

That's not a surprise......

It is true that Emperor Yuanchang usually spoils Concubine Zheng Guifei in the harem, but at such palace banquets, even if he just takes care of the prince's face, he will never show too close to Concubine Zheng Guifei, but how can he ...... this time

They are not the only ones who can't understand Emperor Yuanchang's thoughts.

Therefore, the atmosphere at the palace banquet suddenly became a little strange, although the ministers were not abnormal on the surface, they didn't even dare to speak loudly.

Finally managed to get to the end of the palace banquet, Gu Qingwei took the hand of the eldest princess of Anping and walked out, and only got into the carriage of the Dingguo Mansion after leaving the palace gate, the eldest princess of Anping frowned and said, "What are you thinking about the imperial brother?"

Although the Dingguo Mansion has not been biased in the matter of establishing a prince over the years, as far as the eldest princess of Anping is concerned, she is of course biased towards the current prince.

The crown prince already occupies the eldest son, and he is not the one who has no talent and no virtue, and it is natural for him to get the throne.

And King Ning, although he looks good, but the fact that he is not a concubine or a long man is enough to make the eldest princess of Anping unable to agree with him.

In recent years, there have been frequent twists and turns in the court due to the establishment of the prince, although the eldest princess of Anping does not interfere in the government affairs, but she is both the eldest princess and the duchess of Dingguo, she also knows what she should know, and now she finally established the prince, I thought that I would be able to settle down in this way, how did Emperor Yuanchang hold Zheng Guifei again and again?

Gu Qingwei pursed his lips, but he didn't speak.

Fortunately, the eldest princess of Anping didn't want her to answer, so she also went back to the Dingguo Mansion in silence all the way.

When it was almost past the Dingguo Mansion, the maids of Shuyunju laughed and said that they wanted to keep the New Year, but Gu Qingwei had not responded, but Ning Zhiyuan was interested first, and took Gu Qingwei's hand and asked her to keep the New Year together.

"Huan Yan, we have to pull the hook first, tonight we must wait until the time is over before we can sleep, think about it, when the time turns to the new year, there is the sound of firecrackers outside, and the faint bell of the Taoist temple in the distance to welcome the New Year, we hold hands to welcome the New Year, what a meaningful thing......

Before Ning Zhiyuan's words were finished, Gu Qingwei couldn't help laughing.

"What a man. Gu Qingwei glanced at him.

It's also a shame that they let the maids in the room go down earlier, otherwise they wouldn't have to laugh at them?

But in the end, Gu Qingwei still nodded and agreed to Ning Zhiyuan's proposal to keep the year.

So, the two really haven't slept, Gu Qingwei took the book and sat under the lamp and read it softly to Ning Zhiyuan, while Ning Zhiyuan sat on the side to serve her tea, pour water and peel melon seeds, although it had long passed the usual time for them to rest, but the two of them didn't feel sleepy.
