It wasn't until the official came again to inform that the dinner was about to begin, and the ladies were happy again, and went to the banquet palace in an orderly manner, except for the concubine, who did not move at the table.

The queen got up first and beckoned: "The emperor and the hundred officials are waiting, let's go to the front hall first." The sound of agreement began, and several people at the table got up and walked out. Gu Qingwan stood up, and was about to follow, when her wrist was grabbed, she turned around and met the gentle eyes of the concubine: "Mrs. Po Hou Hou, let's go with the palace." ”

When the queen heard this, she turned her head in surprise, but Gu Qingwan pursed her lips, smiled thinly, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing Gu Qingwan's soothing smile, the queen was relieved and left with peace of mind.

There were only two people left in the garden, and after a while, the concubine Yingying got up and walked out, and Gu Qingwan followed silently. The two walked side by side on the long road of the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs followed from a distance. The group walked at an incredibly slow pace.

"Guess how long it will take to walk this path?" The concubine, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke and asked the people around her softly.

Thinking that she didn't speak, Gu Qingwan glanced forward, and in the twilight, she didn't see the end, shook her head, and said, "I don't know." ”

"Hongu walks this road every day, knowing that it takes half a cup of tea when this road comes, and it takes a cup of tea when you go."

Gu Qingwan smiled lightly and didn't answer, knowing that there must be a reason for her to say this.

"You're so calm that you don't ask? Why is the same road, coming and going, and why is the time different? The concubine squinted, and her tender eyes showed sadness, "That's because, when I came, I wanted to see him, so I walked very fast, and when I went back, I was nostalgic, and I naturally walked slowly." ”

"Mother's affection is deep and valuable."

"Do you know who I'm talking about, and why are you so calm?" Her voice became a little higher, and she seemed to be very dissatisfied with Gu Qingwan's performance.

Gu Qingwan tilted her head in contemplation, and said in a non-sensitive answer: "The palace is very gorgeous, and since the mother has entered the palace gate, why not cherish everything in front of her, why bother to hold on to the past?" ”

The concubine was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly laughed, with a hint of astringency in her laughter: "Do you think these words can move me?" If I could let go of the past, I wouldn't have suffered so long. ”

"I can't let it go, I'm not happy, and my mother lives a very hard life."

Suddenly stopped, the concubine turned her head suspiciously, stared at Gu Qingwan, and asked clearly, "So, are you willing to help me, a hard-working woman?" ”

With a sneering smile, Gu Qingwan joked: "Forgive me for being rude, I really can't see what kind of life the mother has." Even if I had, I wouldn't have the ability to solve the problem for my mother. ”

gradually showed a look of disappointment, and then a whole complexion, the concubine said: "You are too modest, your means are superb, how can it be beyond the reach of ordinary people, the students who went to school a month ago, isn't it your handwriting?" ”

didn't expect the other party to mention this matter, and originally knew that he couldn't hide it, so he calmly accepted the concubine's comment, Gu Qingwan smiled.

Very unacceptable to Gu Qingwan's calm attitude, the concubine frowned: "I don't know why you want to help the queen, but it's just this time." In the future, the prince will not let you do this. ”

"Really? In that case, why should the mother be so alarmed. The black hair was raised by the wind, and Gu Qingwan stroked her long hair, feeling a little impatient because she was being pressed by the concubine step by step.

"Feelings will vary depending on the environment, but after years of tempered feelings, even if there will be twists and turns, they will not change their essence, do you believe it?"

Meaningful.

"I believe," Gu Qingwan pointed leisurely, pointing to the gate of the palace in front of her, the gorgeous lights shining through from the inside, as if waiting for the two late guests, "Niangniang, we have arrived." ”

Her eyes were slightly dim, and the concubine stood still.

"Niangniang, no matter how long the road is, there will be a time when it is over, let's go in."

"I won't give up on ......" Facing Gu Qingwan, looking at the bright lights in front of her, the concubine said as if she swore an oath, "I missed it once, and I won't make a mistake again in the future." With that, she walked forward, without the slightest hesitation.

Looking at her back walking into the light and shadow, Gu Qingwan sighed quietly: "Such infatuation makes people pity and hate......" raised her feet and walked into the noisy and lively hall.

The grievances and entanglements between Guo Guifei and King Yujiang were still told to her by Chen Yuan. Guo Guifei fell in love with King Yujiang when she was still in the boudoir, at that time Ji Xu was not the violent prince with a very bad reputation before, King Yujiang studied under Mr. Nangong when he was young, a young genius, he was the only one who let Mr. Nangong beg to coax him to apprentice. In the past, King Yujiang was favored by the emperor, his family background was prominent, and his future was limitless, and there were even rumors that the emperor wanted him to be his successor. is amazing, and she is the dream lover of girls in Beijing. popularity, even Ji Han, who is in the limelight, can't compare. But later, for some reason, the prince's temperament changed greatly, moody, and once rode a horse in the street, causing several injuries and one death, and was imprisoned by the emperor in Yujiang Palace.

Later, Ji Xu often said that he was sick and did not go to the court, and gradually people forgot the once high-spirited young prince, and only remembered the hot-tempered King Yujiang, who regarded human life like a mustard.

Looking at Guo Guifei's reaction today, Gu Qingwan guessed that the two should have fallen in love when they were young, even if it was not an unforgettable love, they must have liked it.

It's a pity that by mistake, Guo Guifei entered the palace and became the emperor's woman, and the reason for this is unknown to Gu Qingwan.

At the beginning, Gu Qingzhao was kidnapped by Turkic people in disguise, and the inner response to help those people was Guo Guifei. As for why she did this, Gu Qingwan guessed that firstly, it was to retaliate against the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and secondly, because King Yujiang was particularly partial to Gu Qingwan, and the degree of preference was obvious to everyone, not to mention that she paid special attention to King Yujiang's Guo Guifei.

This time, Gu Qingwan was kidnapped, and she couldn't get rid of Guo Guifei and the crown prince.

The light of the main hall shone on the two of them, and for a moment, the originally lively banquet showed a momentary pause, and the eyes of the civil and military officials were glued to the two of them. What's more, he immediately recognized Gu Qingwan as the person in the painting of the Turkic prince, and was surprised and stunned on the spot.

From the moment Gu Qingwan entered the door, Ji Xu seemed to have lost her perception, and never thought that Gu Qingwan's beauty would be displayed in front of people in this way, and the kind of strange charm that seduced the soul expanded infinitely under the rendering of the lights.

Finally walked to the center of the palace, the concubine walked up the steps of the throne, and Gu Qingwan moved to the left.

Chen Yuan, who was sitting at the banquet, took a sip of Gu Zhongmei wine, it is said that this newly brewed wine has a name, called "Demon Niang", the entrance is mellow, full of stamina, so that the drinker is unconsciously intoxicated, he has never been drunk, he drank three sips in a row, smiled lightly, watched Gu Qingwan come over, and suddenly, he fixed his eyes on her, his eyes gradually deepened, the strength of the wine slowly diverged, seeping into the limbs, the chest was extremely hot, burning all the way to the brain, the surrounding sounds were suddenly inaudible, leaving only the delicate color, Race through all the spring in the world.

The world of the palace is separated from the outside, and the magnificence, the blur, the obsessive sounds, the colors, and the feelings here are all detached from the standards of the world, exuding the sweetness of sin, and seducing people to walk through the boundaries of morality.

During the banquet of the hundred officials, a scribe shook the feather fan in his hand, shook his head in a small arc, and sighed in a low voice: "Disaster and disaster for the country, I didn't expect that there would be two more." "Take a big gulp.

But when he remembered that one of them was the wife of his own general, the eldest daughter of Gu Houye, he was inconvenient to say.

I really don't know if my own general is a blessing or a curse if he marries such a beautiful woman?

"Your Majesty." A long voice drew all attention to the throne, and the hundred officials looked up and looked in the direction of the queen.

Ying Ying bowed lightly, although the queen did not fall into the country like Gu Qingwan and the concubine, but she was also a beauty in a thousand, her posture was elegant and different, and she had a sense of grace and luxury, and said: "Your Majesty, I admire the demeanor of Mrs. Marquis very much, can you let her sit at the same table with the palace." ”

The queen was already the head of the harem, and there was a precedent for the official eunuchs to accompany the table, the emperor smiled elegantly, and was about to nod, when the lower left head suddenly said: "No." ”

Sharply refused, there was an uproar, and the hundred officials stopped and looked at the general of the dynasty.

Chen Yuan looked at the queen and softened his tone: "The queen's mother is beautiful, but it's a pity that Wanwan is weak, and it is inconvenient to take care of the mother, please forgive me." He said forgiveness in his mouth, but he didn't mean to back down in his attitude.

The queen was a little surprised, but she didn't show it on her face: "It's the palace that is not thoughtful." "Chen Yuan is really in power, even the emperor has to avoid giving up three points, how can she be unable to get along with him in such a trivial matter.

Although it was expected that it should end like this, this incident still brought a small shock to Baiguan, and he was quite puzzled by Chen Yuan's actions today. Although he holds a lot of power, Chen Yuan will never have any conflict with the royal family in normal times, let alone threaten with power, why would he face the queen who has just regained the phoenix seal for such a trivial matter today.

Only Ji Han vaguely guessed Chen Yuan's thoughts, although they were the kings and ministers, but the jade steps of the throne were a boundary, stepping on the jade steps, it was the king, standing under the steps, it was the ministers. No matter how powerful Chen Yuan is, it is impossible to cross that threshold, it is not an ordinary boundary, it is a gap that cannot be crossed. Today's events, if they had happened before, Gu Qingwan would not have been of great significance to sitting next to the empress, but after experiencing the strange scene of Jun Moting, presumably Chen Yuan would not let Gu Qingwan step on that jade step no matter what.

Holding Gu in one hand and gently holding Gu Qingwan's hand in the middle of the banquet with the other, Chen Yuan adjusted his breathing, calmed his somewhat chaotic mind, looked up with a hint of coldness, and gently turned the wine glass in his hand, what happened just now? As soon as he thought that Gu Qingwan was going to step on the jade steps, he couldn't restrain his anger and panic, and used some force in his hand to grip Gu Qingwan's hand tighter, feeling that tonight was really a mess, did he drink too much?

An ordinary banquet turned out to be an undercurrent because of a small episode, even if the singing and dancing were accompanied, and everyone at the banquet was full of witty words, it could not hide the smell of the harem strife on the jade steps, and the undercurrent of the political situation under the steps.
