Chapter 137: Where there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs
In order to let the ladies in the capital get acquainted with each other, a tea banquet will be held every year after the autumn hunt, but not every ladies can attend, only the invited ladies can attend. These invited ladies are either the daughters of famous families or the concubines with different talents.
Chu Yu was also in the limelight at the queen's birthday banquet before, so naturally he was on the list of invitees.
"Princess, I heard that this tea party is amazing, and those famous ladies will go! I heard that both the Queen Mother and the Queen will go this year. Qiuge smiled, his eyes flashing.
Chu Yu smiled slightly, in her previous life, as the crown princess, she also attended this tea party.
This kind of tea party is actually an occasion for noble ladies to fight and compete with each other, and it is not much more high-end than ordinary tea parties. Moreover, where there are many women, there are also many rights and wrongs.
It is said that only the invited female dependents can be listed, in fact, most of the noble ladies have received invitations, unless they are notorious, otherwise the average noble girl will be invited, after all, the average noble girl will be more or less popular and talented.
"Didn't they go in previous years?" , Chu Yu was puzzled, she remembered that in her previous life, the queen mother and the queen mother appeared almost every year.
Qiu Ge tilted his head and thought for a while, "In previous years, the Queen Mother would not appear, and I don't seem to have the impression that the Queen Mother did not appear much. ”
So weird? A trace of weirdness flashed in Chu Yu's heart.
According to the timeline of her previous life, this is the second year after her marriage. In this life, it was two or three months after her marriage to the Seventh Prince. Everything seems to be deviating from its original trajectory. Some things are even slowly detaching from the memory trajectory of her previous life.
Chu Yu couldn't help but think of Master Yinran's words, and they went the same way.
Are they on the same path? No.
"What's this year's theme?" , Chu Yu suddenly remembered this matter.
Qiuge smiled, "This year's theme is change, and it was set by the queen's mother. In previous years, the theme was all flowers and plants, but the queen mother was different. After that, he sighed a few times.
Change? Interesting. A hint of deep thought flashed in Chu Yu's eyes.
Junyang on the side asked curiously, "Qiuge, how do you know so much?" ”
"She's such a gossip in the first place, so it's not surprising to know so much." Kira muttered quietly.
"I don't know how many of the princess's doubts have been solved in this gossip, but it's a great achievement!" Qiuge raised his head and snorted.
Chu Yu smiled, "Yes, yes, Qiu Ge is meritorious, and there is a reward!" ”
"Hee-hee, thank you princess!" , Qiuge also said unceremoniously.
Qiluo gave a rare tsk twice, and Qiuge gave a show-off look in return.
In the early days of November, the moon at night has a lonely temperament.
The moonlight was like frost, swaying on the earth, and there was an air of emptiness and loneliness.
In Mingyuxuan, Chu Yu was sitting in the courtyard, his eyes were in a trance, and he raised the bottle to the moon.
Qiuge, who was not far away, whispered to Junyang on the side, "Junyang, Miss has been sitting here and drinking for so long, there won't be anything, right?" ”
"Something, it should be a big deal." , Junyang groaned.
"Then, the young lady can't think about it, right?" , Qiuge worried. Since the young lady came back from Kang Le Yuan, she has been sitting here, and she doesn't know what happened, and when she saw the gloom on Chu Yu's face, they didn't dare to ask more.
Chu Yu poured himself a glass of stuffy wine, listened to the discussion of the two maids in his ears, and a wry smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth.
She remembered what the Seventh Prince had said to her, and she was vaguely in a trance.
He said that he found out that the assassin who assassinated her outside the gate of the General's Mansion was the eleventh prince of the Xia Kingdom. In November, the emperor's 40th birthday is approaching, and the princes and princes of other countries will also attend. And she also received news that the eleventh prince of the Xia Kingdom would also come.....
Chu Yu vaguely felt that a bloody storm was coming. And she is likely to be the fuse.
She didn't know why the eleventh prince of the Xia Kingdom chose to assassinate her, but the seventh prince chose to remain silent on this issue. This made Chu Yu confused, she felt that she was surrounded by a secret net, but she couldn't see how big the net was.....
The moonlight was clear, but it couldn't illuminate the haze in her heart, and the evening breeze was cool, but it couldn't sweep away the fog in her heart.
The next day, the holy decree in the palace came again, and along with the holy decree, there were also those precious medicinal materials and tonics, which were the emperor's caring greetings to the seven princes. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is trying to make up for the negligence of the Seven Princes over the years.
After Chu Yu received the holy decree, he went out with Shuangqi and Junyang, followed only by two guards.
Since Chu Bingze and the Eighth Prince were suddenly transferred to the border, most of the soldiers guarding outside the Jin Emperor's Mansion have also left, and the vigilance has been relaxed a lot, but fortunately, no one made trouble, and no assassins came again.
Walking on the bustling street, Chu Yu only felt that the situation was fresh. In November in Kitazawa, it was already winter ready, and everyone began to wear cotton coats, and even worse, mink coats.
The front of the tea shop was deserted, and the shopkeeper was dozing inside.
However, as soon as Chu Yu came in, the shopkeeper immediately woke up.
"What kind of tea do you want?" , The shopkeeper got up and stepped forward and smiled.
"Can there be red camellia, green camellia, white night, full of stars?" , Chu Yu glanced around and asked lightly.
This store is also quite large, and the cloth is well-organized.
A gleam flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, "Madame is really knowledgeable!" It can be regarded as the right door, these kinds of tea are rare, and only our shop has them! ”
Today's Chu Yu combed a woman's hair in a bun, and wore a silver mask on her face, as long as the shopkeeper was not blind and there was nothing wrong with his brain, he could guess who the person in front of him was.
"Really? That's two dollars each. Chu Yu smiled lightly.
"Okay! Madame, this is going to a tea party? The shopkeeper turned around to help Chu Yu clean up the tea, and gossiped again.
Chu Yu smiled, "Yes." ”
"Do other ladies and ladies also come to you to buy tea?"
"Yes, we've been open for several years, and it's this time of year when business is particularly strong!"
Chu Yu smiled faintly and did not continue to ask questions.
"That's it! It's all here! The shopkeeper moved quickly, and in just a few questions and answers, he prepared all the medicinal materials that Chu Yu needed.
After Chu Yu asked Shuangqi to pay, several people walked out of the tea shop.
The crowd surged, and Chu Yu looked at the passers-by with interest. She looked at the expressions and clothes of the passers-by, and couldn't help but wonder about their past, and where they were going now.
These people who passed by her one by one may see each other again, or they may never see each other again, and their fate is only one side.
However, Chu Yu knew that her fate with the person who came in front of her had only officially begun. Moreover, it is not a good fate.
The man, dressed in a brocade cloak with a mink fur collar, the hem of his clothes fluttering in the wind with his steps, his jade crown and hair, his handsome face, and a perennial smile on his face, were walking slowly towards her.
Chu Yu's heart froze, and she subconsciously wanted to escape, but reason told her that she couldn't.
She walked and walked with a steady pace and an indifferent countenance. She hoped he wouldn't stop her.
However, God closed his eyes, and her hopes were disappointed.
"This young lady, have we met there?" , A gentle and magnetic voice came, and an arm lay in front of Chu Yu.
Chu Yu sighed in his heart, he couldn't hide from what he should have come. The man in front of him looked like water, his eyebrows flew into his sideburns, who would it be if he wasn't the eleventh prince of the Xia Kingdom?
The eleventh prince of the Xia Kingdom, although he has a gentle personality and a calm personality, has a charming appearance that makes women bow down, but this appearance on his face and his gentle voice will not make people feel that he has a weak sense of womanhood, but will feel that his appearance is just right charming. It is precisely because of this that Chu Yu is so impressed by this person who only had one side in his previous life.
"Who are you?" , Jun Yang held a sword in his hand, stood in front of the two, and said sharply, separating the two alive.
Chu Yu said lightly, "Junyang, don't be rude, this son is dressed extraordinarily, he should really recognize the wrong person, not intentionally accosting us." ”
The word pick-up, Chu Yu said it very seriously intentionally or unintentionally.
After hearing this, Jun Yang stepped aside, but the hostility in his eyes towards this strange man, the eleventh prince Shangguan Ziyu, was unabated.
"This son recognized the wrong person, I don't know the child." , Chu Yu's eyes were clear, and he looked straight at the man in brocade in front of him.
Although she knew him a little, she didn't know him at the moment.
"Miss turned out to be married, it's a lady, that's really a clumsy recognition of the wrong person." , A trace of disappointment flashed in Shangguan Ziyu's eyes, and he turned his hand and said, "Offended Madame, rude." ”
"It's okay, Childe came from afar, right?" , Chu Yu smiled. Glancing at him up and down, his mink brocade robe did not look like the clothes of the Beize Continent.
"Exactly." , Shangguan Ziyu smiled, and in an instant, it was like a flower blooming on the other side, which was soul-stirring.
When the pedestrians on the street saw such a beautiful son, they couldn't help but slow down, in order to take a more look at this good-looking son.
Shangguan Ziyu realized that there were more and more people around him, and there was some displeasure in his eyes.
Chu Yu glanced around with his afterglow and said, "Childe, I still have some things to do, so I'll say goodbye, the end of the world, goodbye." ”
With that, Chu Yu was ready to turn around and leave.
"Madame, wait a minute!" , Shangguan Ziyu's shout came from the side.
"What's wrong?" , Chu Yu turned his head in confusion.
Shangguan Ziyu looked at her good-looking left face, and something seemed to have melted in his heart, he smiled lightly, and said lightly, "Madam, I have just arrived here, and I am not familiar with life, so I don't know what good places Madame can introduce." ”
