The Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion, and the inner and outer cities of Kyoto are full of colorful lanterns, and bursts of laughter and laughter can be heard in the homes of the people in the city.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the tailor had just prepared the new clothes for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, and the eldest lady led a few young ladies to try on these brocade clothes in the flower hall.

The annual Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is highly valued, this is not only a royal banquet, but also a good opportunity for these young ladies in the boudoir to find Jiaxu.

Gu Wanqing, the eldest lady of the prime minister's family, was wearing a floral dress, with a few begonia flowers embroidered with gold and silver threads on the skirt, and her pale pink clothes lined her skin even whiter.

The eldest lady couldn't help but be overjoyed, and praised again and again: "This one is good, it is very flattering to my son." ”

I am secretly happy in my heart, with this skirt, I will definitely be able to dominate the crowd at tonight's banquet, and the position of the crown princess today is none other than her daughter Gu Wanqing!

Gu Wanqing's face flashed a trace of shyness, and she sneered: "Mother! There was a little more coquettishness in the tone.

The second lady, Gu Huaqing, stood aside, took Gu Wanqing's hand and catered to her: "What the eldest lady said is that this dress must be tailor-made for my sister, and it sets off my sister's beauty beautifully!" Tonight, all the princes and nobles will surely bow down under your pomegranate skirt. ”

"That's it! Listen, there is nonsense for mothers! This is different if you have read the book, Qing'er's words are really reasonable! The eldest lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, beckoned, took the new clothes brought by the maidservant, and gestured, "Qing'er, come and see, this one is specially left for you, and I still remember it for my mother!." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" Gu Huaqing was flattered and hurriedly took his new clothes to change into.

And in the corner of the flower hall, there is still a person who is out of place in this scene. Coarse linen clothes, without makeup and half-hidden, a person sat quietly in the position playing with the tea cup, and for the mutual praise of the mother and daughter just now, it seemed that he didn't hear it and ignored it.

This person and the second lady Gu Huaqing just now are both the young ladies in the prime minister's mansion, and the third and third ladies Gu Xici resigned. However, unlike the second lady, who has been looking at people's eyes since she was a child, and she is proud of her life, but this third lady is far behind.

When the eldest lady saw her like a wooden stake, she felt angry: "Fool! ”

Gu Xici not only doesn't know how to please, but he was born a fool.

She suddenly paused her hand to play with the teacup, and a trace of coldness crossed her eyes: "Where are my clothes?" ”

The eldest lady and Gu Wanqing glanced at each other, with surprise in their eyes, as if they didn't dare to say this sentence from this fool's mouth.

"What, could it be that you also want to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?" Li Mengyi sneered as if she had heard some joke: "Do you think that the people who lost to our Prime Minister's Mansion are not enough!" Who gave you the guts, you still want to go to the banquet, where can you stay cool! ”

The humiliating thing in Li Mengyi's mouth was exactly three months ago, as a quasi-crown princess, Gu Xici was divorced by the prince before she got married. This unprecedented thing actually fell on the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the people in Kyoto talked about it, but this girl didn't cry or make trouble, and directly accepted the letter of resignation, as if nothing happened.

In fact, regarding Gu Xi's resignation from the marriage, Li Mengyi was not as unhappy as she showed on the surface, on the contrary, she was very happy. Such a good crown princess is occupied by a fool, and everyone is unconvinced, and if it wasn't for her mother who set this marriage, how could Li Mengyi leave this fool in the house!

Now that the crown prince has divorced her, the name of this princess has rightfully fallen on the head of her family Qing'er! is now the crown princess, and in the future, she will be the queen of tens of millions, and even the queen mother belongs to her daughter!

Gu Xici glanced at her coldly.

Li Mengyi suddenly felt cold hair, and felt frightened for no reason. Since more than three months ago, this dead girl died and woke up in a coma, and the whole person has become more and more abnormal.

Gu Xici's gorgeous red lips hooked slightly: "I'm just informing you." ”

After speaking, he left the flower hall without looking back.

"It's the other way around! You stupid, you dare to talk to me like that! Stop me, you come back for me! ”

No matter how angry the eldest lady was, Gu Xici didn't hear it, sneered, left a "madman", and left without looking back.

As the sky got dark, the ladies in the prime minister's mansion got into the carriage and drove in the direction of the palace.

And Gu Xici, who had no eyes, was also in the car, which made Li Mengyi irritable.

I don't know how this fool persuaded the master, but he really made the master agree. Fortunately, the old man is still a little rational, but he just let Gu Xici and his identity as a maid follow, otherwise, their family will really be lost!

She is now the joke of the entire Great Chu Kingdom, she has no consciousness at all, she just eats, drinks, sleeps and sleeps every day, but she makes them lose face!

Although the other two young ladies were not as obvious as the eldest lady, Gu Wanqing and Gu Huaqing had been discussing how to show off at the banquet along the way, and they refused to even look at Gu Xici, which was also quite disgusting.

Coincidentally, Gu Xici was unwilling to deal with them, and closed his eyes in the corner alone. She is the one who wants to do things, and there is no need to be jealous with a few women.

Suddenly, the horses neighed loudly, the groom pulled the ropes, and the car braked suddenly, and several people in the car were unsuspecting, and they fell forward one after another, either hitting their heads or their arms.

"What's going on!"

Li Mengyi angrily lifted the curtain and yelled at the driver: "How did you drive, why did you suddenly stop!" Crashing into us, don't you want your head? ”

"Little ...... The villain didn't mean it, but a car in front of him suddenly rushed over to avoid it...... "The driver quickly explained.

Li Mengyi pushed Gu Xici out fiercely: "You, let me go out to see what's going on, I don't have any vision, what are you doing here!" ”

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Gu Xici's cold eyes, but it was fleeting, and he opened the curtain with a cold face and walked out.

Li Mengyi only felt a layer of white sweat all over her body, as if she was once again shrouded in fear from last time. But he quickly comforted himself, that girl was just a fool, how could he be shocked by her eyes, he must have thought too much.

After getting out of the car, Gu Xici really saw an extremely luxurious carriage parked in the middle of the road, blocking in front of them. It was a fork in the road, and both carriages were too luxurious and huge to pass in parallel, but neither side seemed to want to take a step back.

Gu Xici walked towards the carriage. Her sense of smell was sensitive, and before she could get closer, a slightly bitter and mellow scent entered her nose.

"Get out of the way, back off, don't get in our way." The driver over there was a man dressed as a guard, with a gloomy face and a difficult way to speak.

"Why?" Gu Xici raised his eyebrows, didn't care about the man's fierce eyes, and faced it calmly.

The man didn't expect that a little maid would dare to argue with him so incompetently, and was about to educate this girl well, when the curtain of the car was gently lifted from the inside, and a slender and white hand reached out.

The eyes of everyone present were straight, it was a pair of extremely beautiful hands - white as snow, as smooth as jade, just one pair of hands makes people think about it, not to mention the people in the carriage, how is it peerless?

Everyone held their breath and wanted to take a look, but unfortunately, the man only beckoned gently.

The man dressed as a guard returned to the horse extremely reluctantly, put his ear on the curtain, snorted coldly at Gu Xici, unwillingly grabbed the reins, and drove the carriage back slowly.

Gu Xici returned to the carriage with some disappointment and patted the coachman who was still distracted: "Let's go." ”

When the coachman heard this, he hurriedly lowered his whip and drove the horses past the luxurious carriage.

The well-dressed man was leaning into the carriage and watching it pass by his window.

"It's really a villain, why do you let them, prince!" The guards who lost face were a little unwilling.

The man just smiled lightly, couldn't help coughing a few times, and his snow-white almost transparent face was quickly dyed with a layer of sickly red: "Why bother with a woman, why let her?" If you don't leave, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

The fine white marble is luxuriously spread all over the wide ground, countless golden-red gauze lamps are hung high and low, looking from afar, the second brother is staggered like a galaxy extending to the tall and brilliant Chengming Palace.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is sumptuous, delicacies from the mountains and seas, luxurious and lively. In the highest place, sitting the most noble person in the world, the emperor and the empress raised their glasses to everyone: "This Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole world is happy, I and all of you enjoy the beautiful scenery of this good day." ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Everyone raised their glasses and bowed in thanks, drank the wine in the glass, and returned to their seats only after the emperor spoke.

Gu Wanqing sat on a straight and upright waist, virtuous and virtuous, but the corners of her lips were chuckling, her face was crimson, and her eyes were always on the right hand side of the emperor's seat.

Gu Xici couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, it seemed that she was really concerned, staring at the crown princess all the time. Her gaze crept in, but when she saw the man, her heart ached as if it had suddenly stopped.

It's him! It turned out to be him!

Because of the clenching of the hand, the nails leave several months of teeth in the palms. The pain that pierced her heart brought several images to her mind.

The man raised his pistol expressionlessly, the pitch-black muzzle was pressed against his heart, with a "boom", the sharp pain in his heart, lowered his head, Gu Xici looked at a rose, blooming on his snow-white clothes......

Gu Xici instinctively touched the gun on her waist, but it missed, and she suddenly came back to her senses, this is no longer her original world.

Her eyes flickered, the red bloodshot under her eyes was like a flame, and the face of the man in her memory gradually overlapped with the prince who was talking and laughing not far in front of her, exactly the same.

I didn't expect this prince who abandoned him mercilessly to be her enemy, just right, very good!

Chu Yu suddenly noticed a blazing gaze, and he couldn't help frowning, turning his head, only to see Gu Wanqing, the concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, smiling shyly, and lowering her head very quickly.

Oh, it turned out to be her.

Chu Yu curled the corners of his mouth, but he didn't take it to heart, and still drank and talked as usual.

He not only has the status of making the women of the world submit, but also has a handsome face, a face like a knife, clean and extremely delicate. The long eyebrows are like a sword, the long fly into the temples, the eyes are narrow and slightly raised, and the eyes are as black as ink, which has faintly revealed a bit of royal domineering. Only the lip color is too light, and it looks more and more charming and affectionate, but it makes countless women more loved. In his opinion, it is extremely normal for the girl Sichun to fall in love with herself.

Gu Xici lowered his head and stood beside Gu Wanqing obediently, without showing the slightest clue on his face, but he attracted the corners of his lips, which was quite interesting.

The man sat beside the prince, dressed in white, and his face was extremely beautiful but pale and frightening.

The emperor put down his wine glass and glanced at the queen, the queen smiled clearly, looked at everyone with deep eyes, and said: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, it is rare for this palace to gather with all the ministers, just in time. ”

She paused for a moment, glanced at the princes at hand gently, and then continued: "It just so happens that the princes are not too young, and today, the palace wants to choose a princess for each of them. ”

After speaking, the queen turned her head to look at the emperor, and the emperor bowed his head.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers at the bottom blew up, and what was even more uncalm was the female dependents, all the ladies looked at their daughters, no wonder the palace banquet today specially let the female dependents come, so it was.

Although the queen said that she was talking about the princes just now, and the ladies also knew in their hearts that there were only three princes present, and they must have chosen concubines for the three of them.

Chengwang Chuxun is handsome, but he is extraordinary, I don't know how many girls' families have been harmed, how can there be a lack of women around him? And Zhaowang Chu Jin is a well-known medicine jar, weak willow to help the wind, comparable to a woman, living a day is a day, no one can force anything, naturally no one is willing to send their daughter to be widowed.

In addition to these two people, there is another one who is the current prince Chu Yu. The crown prince has both virtue and ability, and is handsome, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty and the Queen, and has always been regarded as the heir by His Majesty. And the position of the crown princess has been vacant, which has long made the ladies covetous.

If you can make a big splash at this palace banquet, your daughter may be selected to become the crown princess! Every lady present was thinking about her daughter.

The queen glanced at the ministers who were talking, and said with a smile: "The next talent show, the emperors must take a good look at it carefully, if there is anything you like, you must tell the palace." If any of the sons and ladies of the family are Hongluan Xingxing, this palace will entrust His Majesty to marry you! ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the sons and ladies of each family lit up, and many people's faces turned red, but they lowered their heads but couldn't help but look at them quietly.

"Please ask the two young ladies to go down with the slave maid to prepare." The aunt in charge respectfully came to invite Gu Wanqing and Gu Huaqing, the two young ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two looked at each other, and quickly got up and followed.

Gu Xici stood in the corner, silently remembering the secret guard in this palace in her heart, if she wanted to do it, what was the probability of success?

After looking at it with cold eyes, Gu Xici let out a long breath, according to the current situation, she had no chance.

Now we still need to wait for the opportunity, Gu Xici is planning to quietly leave the venue to explore the layout of the palace after the performance starts, while everyone is paying attention to the performance. But before she could implement her plan, the eldest lady Li Mengyi suddenly rushed over and grabbed her wrist and dragged her out in a panic.

"What for?" Gu Xici didn't want to pay attention to Li Mengyi, but there were many people, and she didn't want to attract everyone's attention.

Li Mengyi gritted her teeth and said, "It's a good thing that you can't dream of!" ”

This damn fool, she was cheapened for nothing today! Tonight, Gu Wanqing originally planned to present a butterfly dance, which was a pas de deux, and Gu Huaqing had been rehearsing with her for a long time. But who would have thought that Gu Huaqing, the dead girl, would sprain her ankle at such a time just now!

When I reported it, I already said that it was the two young ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was impossible to find someone to replace it at this time, if it was discovered, it would be a crime of bullying the king, where did she have the courage.

Fortunately, Qing'er is smart, and I thought that there were a total of three Miss Xiangfu here today!

Anyway, it's just to be a foil for Qing'er, compared to Gu Huaqing, this fool looks more suitable!

Gu Xici was directly pulled to a side hall, Li Mengyi took out a long skirt with silk yarn stacked and threw it directly on her, and said impatiently: "Hurry up and change, it's almost sunny soon, if you damn girl delays, I have to peel your skin!" ”

Gu Huaqing stared at Gu Xici with resentful eyes, as if he wanted to cut her with a thousand knives.

Gu Wanqing pitifully dragged Gu Xici's hand and begged, "Xici, you can help me." My sister knows that she is not good enough for you on weekdays, but this incident is about our whole family, and we must not go wrong, once something happens, it is a crime of deception! ”

Family-minded? Sin to deceive the king?

Gu Xici raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help sneering in his heart. This is obviously just about the position of Princess Gu Wanqing, which is as serious as she said.

Li Mengyi became more and more anxious when she saw her appearance, and directly ordered: "Your father personally ordered it, how dare you disobey?" ”

Gu Xici lowered his head, his heart turned a thousand times, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Prime Minister's Mansion is still a good place to stay. She doesn't plan to leave anytime soon, and she has to rely on this identity to do more important things in the future......

"Where to change?" Gu Xici took his clothes and asked happily.

Li Mengyi didn't expect her to agree so simply, her face was happy, and she immediately pointed to the cubicle next to her.
