Chapter 80: Fate

Every brick and tile in Qi Hongshan's palace shows the royal luxury, and every flower and grass is rich and delicate, just like its owner.

In the palatial courtyard, several older and beautiful women gathered in a place to whisper softly, the fragrance was gusting, passing anecdotes to each other, covering their lips and chuckling from time to time, and the atmosphere was also harmonious.

Sitting on the main seat is a young girl.

She was dressed in a crimson robe, the soft brocade fabric dragged to the ground, half revealing a touch of white and tender lotus arms, supporting her chin at the moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her cat-like lazy expression revealed a bit of hidden cruelty.

The injury on her foot was almost healed, and after using the best gold sore medicine and pearl powder, there was really no scar left, and the lotus feet were still white and soft.

She gently pulled up her long skirt, withdrew her toes under her skirt, looked around with a smile, and said, "Several younger sisters entered the palace earlier than me, but is there any good way to rectify Gu Tianyan?" โ€

In the East Palace, there is no distinction between size and size, but there is a strict class division.

Qi Hongshan, as the crown prince Chenghui, is naturally one level higher than these talents, which makes her invisibly have a sense of superiority, raise her pointed chin, and her smile becomes more and more dazzling.

"I've long seen that this Liangdi is not pleasing to the eye." A talented man in pink sneered: "Obviously not favored, but the tail is going to the sky!" looks calm and calm, but I don't know who this is for? โ€

The people in the East Palace are accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder, and drifting with the tide, and when the first person opens his mouth to reprimand, there is a second person and a third person, who have expressed their loyalty.

"This Gu is tilted. I had been aloof and arrogant all day, and I had a bad feeling for her early on, and now I had completely opened the skylight and said something. I also asked a few younger sisters to give me a tip. How can I make a fool of her? โ€

The pink-clothed talent pushed an emerald gold-inlaid silver hairpin into her hair, and she gave birth to a delicate and gentle face, but the words spit out of her mouth were extremely vicious: "In a few days, it will be the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is now young and has the talent of Wen Tao and Wu Strategy, and the people who wish him birthday will surely fill the whole room." If Gu Qianyan made a fool of himself at this banquet, then there would be a good show to watch. โ€

With that, she covered her lips with her jade hands and chuckled. Those sparkling eyes were full of pride, as if they were also complacent about their plan.

What could be more humiliating than being in front of all the dignitaries and dignitaries. What's even more painful?

Qi Hongshan glanced at her, and secretly whispered in her heart that she was a villain, but said with a smile on her face: "This idea is not bad." Why don't a few sisters plan with me again? When the time comes, this Gu Liangdi will be rejected by the prince! โ€

This person was born in a green building. It was a beautiful woman sent by other ministers. Life is delicate, but it is a dusty place, and the ability to intrigue and jealousy is no less than these daughters.

And among the few unfavored talents in this room, which one is simple?

Suddenly there was a room of laughter, but I don't know what kind of vicious calculation is being plotted under that smiling face.

The prince's birthday banquet is under the eagerness of some people. As promised.

The East Palace, which has always revealed a low-key and gorgeous appearance, is hung with red silk brocade. All kinds of precious flowers and plants crowd the whole palace, rockeries and paths, swimming fish and fine stones, but also have a unique sense of beauty.

Such a large and magnificent birthday banquet has attracted many people to flock to it, from the emperor to the ministers and officials, they have been invited, and it was bustling and bustling in a moment.

Someone in the dark looked at this scene and gradually burst into a vicious smile.

The more people come, the better it will be for their plans.

She wants everyone to see how talented and virtuous Gu Tianyan is!

While speaking, Gu Qianyan came with Chu Jiao in her arms, both of them picked out a brightly colored skirt today, and they both dressed up, one was fresh powder, the other was goose yellow, plus the festive smile on his face, he really couldn't find a trace of wrongness.

The two sat down in the women's seat and looked at the men's seat in unison.

There are their fathers, their families, and their whole bodies, which are the driving forces that support them in this East Palace.

"The emperor and queen have arrivedโ€”"

"The Prime Minister has arrivedโ€”"

"The four princes, the four princesses have arrivedโ€”" The voice of the male duck sounded one after another.

When he heard the last sound, Gu Tianyan was slightly stunned, lowered his head and sipped tea, but the tail of his eyes quietly swept in the direction where the person came.

The fourth prince, Feng Jinghuang, was born by the noble concubine, and was the idle prince of the dynasty, obsessed with drinking and writing poems all day long. But he himself was born extremely handsome, but there was a little bit of yin between his eyebrows and eyes, which destroyed the masculine beauty, and he couldn't compare to the prince Feng Jinglan after all.

But this fourth princess has a unique stunning beauty.

Between her eyebrows and eyes, she is three points similar to Chu Jiaorou, walking like a weak willow supporting the wind, and her slender waist swings out of a soft arc. The eyebrows are as delicate as the beauties who come out of the ink paintings, the ink eyes are affectionate, the red lips are dotted, and the lips are slightly with a smile mark, neither flattering nor indifferent, and they are maintained just right.

It's just such a woman, who is good at dancing with long sleeves all the way, and greets her in all directions, but when she saw tonight's protagonist, the prince, there was a trace of sadness on her face, and she lowered her slender neck, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Gu Tianyan had a trace of doubt in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at the prince.

Today's Feng Jinglan is dressed in a golden python robe, with nine pythons on his body lifelike, a jade face and a golden crown, and a long body like jade.

It's just that his face is still the same cold and indifferent, only the moment he heard "the fourth princess has arrived", his eyes burst out with unprecedented light, and he raised his eyes to look straight at her.

The two looked at each other, and there was a lot of tenderness in their eyes, and they couldn't understand the depth of affection that others couldn't read.

But this situation lasted only a few seconds, and then the woman quickly lowered her head, turned and entered the women's seat, refusing to leave him the slightest hint of it.

The fragrance of the soul is gone.

Feng Jinglan was like a demon, quietly watching in place. There was a slight pain in those ice and snow melted ink eyes.

Perhaps, this is as Gu Qianyan said. Love it.

Gu Tianyan, who looked at all this, drank a large sip of tea and calmed his restless heart. What had just happened was so shocking to her.

Could it be that the woman Feng Jinglan has always kept in his heart is his brother's imperial concubine? ! This truth is too shocking!

With such a small guess in her heart, she couldn't help but touch Chu Jiaorou's shoulder, pointed to the four princesses and asked, "Sister Chu." Do you know which family the Fourth Princess was originally from? โ€

Chu Jiaorou blinked her eyelashes, as if she was quite surprised that she would ask such a question. She had been indulging in tasting the pastries, and had not noticed anything suspicious.

Gu Tianyan sighed in his heart. Living innocently like her is the best choice. There is always someone who blocks all the wind and rain for her, so she doesn't have to grow, she just needs to maintain the purest heart.

"The Four Princesses. You're talking about Gu Lingxin, right? Chu Jiaorou took a piece of mung bean cake. Carefully put it in her mouth, so as not to get lipstick, she chewed it, and the soft taste was quite to her heart, so Ying Ying smiled and said: "Gu Lingxin is the daughter of the prime minister, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially good at blowing the hole flute, and the emperor favors the four princes." He gave him Gu Lingxin. โ€

From this point of view, the four princesses may have secretly promised the crown prince a long time ago. The two have the intention of having a concubine; However, an emperor destroyed this good relationship, causing the prince to be cold-faced and closed-minded.

It is indeed an embarrassing story.

Seeing that Gu Tianyan was still in a trance, Chu Jiaorou hurriedly pushed her, and said with a smile: "Now is the time to give gifts, with the power of the prince, presumably the person who gives gifts is like crossing the river." What kind of gifts have you prepared? โ€

Gu Tianyan sent Lu Lotus to send a delicate package, and a smile appeared on his lips: "A picture of a hundred longevity embroidery, embroidered with a hundred different forms of longevity, has the meaning of prolonging life." โ€

"You really have a mind, a person like me who doesn't know how to be a female celebrity can't do it even if he wants to." Chu Jiaorou sighed, "What I gave me was a piece of mutton fat white jade, carved into a sword shape, which is excellent for waist matching and pendants." โ€

Gu Tianyan swept around the people present, and saw Qi Hongshan and several talented people whispering, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he whispered: "Qi Hongshan seems to be making waves again today, you have to be careful." โ€

However, she never expected that Qi Hongshan's arrow was pointing to herself.

As the guests arrived, the gifts they gave were also reported one by one, and all of a sudden, there were all kinds of rare treasures.

Soon, the eunuch smiled and elongated his tone: "Sent by Gu Liangdi, a hundred-character birthday picture-"

But when he saw that he had opened the gift wrapped in fine satin, his face suddenly turned pale, and his fingers trembled and he held the gift in front of the prince.

Feng Jinglan's face was puzzled at first, and then turned into anger, his eyes bloodthirsty, and he looked at her with great impact.

Gu Tianyan was shocked in his heart, something must have gone wrong! With a single embroidered picture with excellent meaning, it would never make the eunuch and Feng Jinglan have such a huge reaction.

"Gu Liangdi, you are really scheming!" Feng Jinglan's voice of gritting her teeth sounded, eager to peel off her skin and drink her blood!

Chu Jiaorou also gave a puzzled look, and secretly held her hand under her sleeve to encourage her.

Gu Tianyan stood up at this time, moved the lotus step and walked towards him, and when he saw the gift, he couldn't help but froze.

It was a tube of purple jade cave flute, and the precious purple jade flowed out of the light and shimmered, judging from the appearance alone, there was no difference in this cave flute.

But it's never her gift either! Now I don't have to think about it, I know that someone must be trying to frame her.

Gu Tianyan couldn't look for the embroidery picture that he had been embroidering for half a month, and for now, he understood why Feng Jinglan was so angry.

She glanced sideways at Gu Lingxin, and suddenly realized.

"Gu Lingxin is the daughter of the prime minister...... Especially good at blowing hole flutes! โ€

The person who exchanged her gift wanted to let her touch Feng Jinglan's taboo in silence!

Except for Gu Tianyan, everyone here knew that Xiao was a taboo for Feng Jinglan.

There used to be a singer of King Yan's Mansion, with a graceful singing voice and a poignant voice, but he was ruthlessly called "difficult to get into the elegant hall", and he lost the face of King Yan on the spot!

What's more, the daughter of the nobles of other families gave a at the palace banquet, but he was sarcastic in every way, and finally cried in public, and the queen also had a headache for this.

Even though Gu Tianyan knew about such a sinister plan in his heart, he was powerless to refute it for a while.

The gift was presented by her own hands, and now it can be said that she can't wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River. If there is more defense, it will leave everyone with a quibble charge.

Gu Tianyan half-lowered her eyes, and felt a series of eyes staring at her body, the most eye-catching of which was the cold and gloomy gaze in front of her, Feng Jinglan's angry and almost hideous expression made her shiver.

She must have violated some taboo!

Damn it! If she were to find out who had stolen the gift, she would definitely use all means to send that person to hell!

Cursing fiercely in his heart, Gu Tianyan's thoughts were like springs, flying like electricity, racking his brains to think of countermeasures.

Her seemingly indifferent gaze flew through the crowd, and she froze for a moment on Qi Hongshan, who was smiling, and Qi Hongshan, who was originally talking and laughing, suddenly felt a chill down her spine, like sitting on pins and needles.

But her gaze didn't stay long, and instead froze on a shadow.

That's the Four Princesses, Gu Lingxin!

Between the eyebrows and eyes of the woman, which are as soft as ink paintings, a touch of obvious sorrow and nostalgia rises, and the misty eyes are full of deep feelings, falling into the memories of the past, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

Whoever started the trouble should end it.

The reason why Feng Jinglan was furious was because this purple jade cave flute touched the deepest memory in his heart, what if she did the opposite?

She thought, Feng Jinglan is afraid that she doesn't want the news of his love for his brother-in-law to spread out.

Gu Tianyan's heart, which was originally slightly flustered, calmed down in an instant, raised a pair of water-cut autumn eyes that were as clear as water, and smiled Yingying, which was better than spring flowers and autumn moon.

The calmness she showed made many people think a little highest: "The so-called sending goose feathers for thousands of miles, the courtesy is light and affectionate, if Your Highness doesn't like it, you can throw it away, why embarrass the concubine?" โ€

Feng Jinglan's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be able to drip water, and said Sen Ran: "So, do you know that Xiao is a big taboo in this palace?" โ€

"What difference does it make if you know or you don't?" Gu Tianyan smiled indifferently and said: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, some things are destined, and you can't hide if you want to." โ€

Although she said it was subtle and subtle, others listened to it in a fog.

Feng Jinglan was originally very smart, but the authorities were fascinated, and they couldn't help but involve themselves as if they were involved, only feeling that she was alluding to herself every word, and her handsome face suddenly turned black, full of angry anger.

"You're so daring!" He shouted, full of anger, and had a feeling that the secret he had been hiding in his heart had been discovered.

There are very few people who know about Feng Jinglan and Gu Lingxin, and they can't imagine that this Gu Tianyan would dare to act so boldly from what he heard. If it is rumored that he covets the reputation of his younger siblings, then he will not have the face to be a prince anymore!

He glared at Gu Tianyan coldly, but saw her respond with an indifferent smile, and the cunning and brightness in his eyes made the anger in his heart burn more and more. (To be continued.) )
