Through the exquisite hollow window lattice on the wall, you can overlook the magnificent Qilu platform.

Bai Jinyu stared at the towering building, thinking that Wumu had appeared there more than two months ago, but now there was no trace of people, and his heart couldn't help but be complicated.

Most of the ladies waiting for the banquet are familiar with each other, and today's birthday banquet is only at the level of a family banquet, and there are not many rules, so the words of these female guests are much more casual.

They chatted freely from all over the world, from whose son-in-law was dashing, to which store had novel clothes, Bai Jinyu was happy to listen to the market of Chang'an in recent years, but who knew that in the end, their voices became smaller and smaller, and they began to poke and poke at her in groups.

In fact, as soon as she entered this courtyard, Bai Jinyu felt a tacit understanding: the ladies seemed to have reached a consensus and kept their distance from her, even the princesses who had known her were no exception.

Gradually, some words drifted into her ears, and even guessed and thought, roughly saying that Su Lihua and Fengchen did not have a good relationship.

Feng Chen, as if he was born to be a gentleman who is a man of his word and behaves in the world, coupled with his beautiful demeanor and low-key personality, he has long been a perfect person in the world's impression. If you don't get along with such a person, you are naturally undoubtedly evil.

Bai Jinyu looked at her lonely corner, and thought that Su Lihua was really powerful, such a scene was embarrassing for ordinary people once, and she really didn't know how many times she had to parry it a year.

However, no one came to talk about it, which was exactly what Bai Jinyu wanted.

First, she has been away from Chang'an for several years, and there is no topic to discuss with Chang'an people; Second, she has never been interested in girls' things.

As a child raised by Cuizhu in Luzhou, she has been in elementary school with literature and martial arts, if you discuss which sentence comes from what classic, which way of swordsmanship is what she is good at, and she has always been able to avoid the way of the boudoir.

Not long after, the palace people came to invite the ladies to the banquet, Bai Jinyu glanced at Qilutai again, and followed everyone to the Yinghua Hall where the birthday banquet was held.

Today is the queen's birthday, the display of the Yinghua Hall has been newly arranged, because it is a family banquet, the people who go to the banquet are all royal relatives and the queen's family, there are no foreign ministers, so the seat is not compact.

All the male guests sit on the right side of the main hall, while the female guests sit opposite each other on the left side, and those who enter the hall are seated in order of status.

Bai Jinyu was arranged to sit in the middle of the second row of female guests, in fact, according to the identity of King Jin, she would not sit in such an inconsequential position, but now she has become this form for some reason.

Bai Jinyu didn't intend to investigate the reason, she just came to help Su Lihua show her face, this position did not affect the singing and dancing, and she could hide behind to avoid the limelight, she was very satisfied.

Today's Yinghua Hall is magnificent, and the back of the royal god sits, and the seat sings and dances. Thinking of the treacherous turmoil here at that time, fighting openly and secretly, Bai Jinyu couldn't help but feel like a world away.

Her gaze started from the emperor and queen, and slid over these old people who she hadn't seen for a long time, and naturally recalled a lot of past events, and had some specious feelings.

looked all the way down, and saw Feng Chen, who was slightly sideways and was entangled by a young man behind him. Looking at Fengchen like this at the moment, Bai Jinyu couldn't help but feel that this brother-in-law seemed to be more and more transcendent after not seeing this brother-in-law for a few years.

The young man of the clan who talked about Fengchen thought that he had admired Fengchen for a long time, and this time he was fortunate to be behind him, and the whole person was overjoyed, leaning forward and almost pushing the desk forward.

In the communication with the teenager, it was mostly the teenager who was talking, and Fengchen just listened all the time, occasionally nodding in response.

The enthusiasm and liveliness of the young man and the quiet elegance of Fengchen complement each other, Bai Jinyu is thinking it is interesting, and suddenly Fengchen turned around after speaking, his eyes unintentionally cut into her sight, Bai Jinyu sat upright, and secretly complained.

"Sister-in-law is here today?" The young man behind Feng Chen leaned on his shoulder and asked with great interest.

“……”

"It's been a long time since I've seen my concubine and sister-in-law, and she hasn't come to many banquets!"

"You'd love to see her?" Feng Chen asked.

The young man was a little surprised, because since he had just pestered His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this was the first time that the King of Jin took the initiative to ask him.

The young man replied excitedly: "Yes, I still remember the trick that my sister-in-law made for me when I was a child, it was really amazing, and I have been thinking about watching it again all these years!" ”

Feng Chen pursed the corners of his mouth slightly at the young man, but did not speak.

Seeing Feng Chen and the young man looking at him together, Bai Jinyu didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to chew the sweet cake in his mouth.

Even if the acting skills are high, it is the first time to play the discord between husband and wife. If Su Lihua was present, how would she respond? Did you smile sparsely, or did you stare him back?

In a daze, the two women at the front table suddenly exchanged words and spoke, just cutting off their sight.

If Bai Jinyu was amnesty, she quickly buried her head and swallowed the sweet cake first, she decided not to look or listen to it, and only concentrated on eating with chopsticks.

The banquet has been very lively since the emperor and queen took their seats, and in order to make the queen happy, a lot of programs have been arranged.

At this time, there are two foreign dancers performing in the field, the two of them apply fire oil to their arms, ignite and dance, like two fire butterflies lingering and leaping in the field, and when the song is finished, the flames are extinguished, and the dancers are intact.

Bai Jinyu was stunned, tilted his head and watched the performance, completely unaware that a pair of cool eyes gradually warmed up in the field.

The owner of these eyes is dressed in silver, and he still looks sitting upright on the outside, but in fact, his heart has turned up a monstrous wave, and if he raises his hand at this time, he is afraid that he will not even be able to hold the cup in front of him.

After three rounds of drinking, singing and dancing were suspended, and the eunuchs in charge of the palace announced that each family would present a birthday gift for the queen. After watching the process of several families entering the ceremony one after another, Bai Jinyu couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart. She stubbornly and whispered to the new concubine of King Qi beside her, who didn't seem to want to pay attention to her: "Are all today's birthday gifts presented by the female relatives of each family?" ”

"Yes!" Princess Qi glanced at her and said curiously, "Huh? Doesn't Princess Jin know? ”

Although the status of the King of Jin is respected, it is well known that Su Lihua is not treated by the King of Jin, as the saying goes, a child who is not loved by no one is like a grass, and even this Princess Qi's attitude towards Bai Jinyu is quite arrogant.

Bai Jinyu had no time to argue with her, carefully recalled all the details of the car when she came, and after confirming in her mind that she had not seen anything like a gift box, she began to wonder that Fengchen had prepared a birthday gift.

But Feng Chen didn't give her the gift just now, so how should he ask him for this situation now?

Bai Jinyu looked anxiously at Fengchen and gave him a few glances in a row, but he always looked at the palace intently, and he didn't glance at her at all.

Bai Jinyu looked up to the sky and sighed, her face was full of gloom, and she didn't want Princess Qi's words to sound again: "The queen said that she is not short of valuable property, so she specially ordered the ladies of each family to prepare the birthday gift in person." This birthday, as long as the items developed by the daughters of each family themselves, it is said that such a gift is the most expressive. By the way, Princess Jin, what did you do? ”

Hearing her say this, Bai Jinyu was directly frightened into a cold sweat, and she confirmed with Princess Qi again and again before she finally believed that what she said was true.

"I'll show you, this is a palace fan I made for the queen." Princess Qi took a brocade box from the side with a little complacency, opened it and handed it to Bai Jinyu: "From silkworm raising, bamboo extraction, embroidery, and framing, I do it myself, and when the weather gets hot in half a month, the queen mother will be able to use it!" ”

Bai Jinyu was so shocked that her jaw was about to fall off at this moment, Su Lihua hadn't told her about this stubble!! Now she seriously suspected that Su Lihua just didn't prepare a gift, so she asked her to participate in this banquet!

God, I don't dare to think, how will it end later? Bai Jinyu covered his head, wishing that he had the ability to disappear immediately.

At this time, there were some discordant voices in the hall, and it turned out that the emperor's Wu Guifei was ridiculing a pair of calligraphy and paintings made by the concubine Li of the King of Wei.

As we all know, this Wu Guifei is the cousin of the Cai family, the concubine of the King of Wei, and she has always looked for an opportunity to knock this Li family for her cousin.

"The brushwork of this "Lotus Appreciation under the Moon" is still acceptable, but unfortunately the idea is completely imaginary," Wu Guifei looked contemptuously at the Li family standing in the hall, and said: "As far as the concubines know, it is impossible for the lotus flowers to bloom at night when they are released day and night, so how can the queen go to the moon to appreciate?" ”

Li was speechless, his face purple and his head hung down, and his hands slowly drooped down his painting. She cowered and looked at her husband who was sitting next to her, but it was okay not to look at it, the King of Wei had a shameful expression on his face.

There was a lot of discussion in the palace for a while, all of which were about the quality of "Lotus Appreciation under the Moon".

"You!" Wu Guifei made an expression of hatred for the Li family, who was already self-conscious: "Let you be more humble and down-to-earth on weekdays, and do less vassal and elegant things!" ”

"Yes." Li replied in a low voice, his voice already inaudible.

"That's it, it's all her heart." The queen, who has always been benevolent, spoke out in time to get over this embarrassment.

But Wu Guifei changed her words and curry favor with the queen: "Some people are so uncompromising, the queen mother is not interested in this matter!" ”

Bai Jinyu smiled bitterly, this Wu Guifei has not changed at all, she is still the fuel-efficient lamp, and this Li family is indeed not angry, she has not grown at all over the years, and she still looks useless to be bullied by others.

"Well, it's a big fuss, and I don't have a problem looking at this painting."

"What did Princess Jin say?"

When Princess Qi's voice sounded, Bai Jinyu was startled, but she didn't expect that the words she muttered in her heart would be said like this, and she would be listened to.

Bai Jinyu knew that he was speechless, and he was busy laughing and pretending to be confused: "Did I speak?" ”

"You said it!"

"No......"

"That's what you said!" Princess Qi is still young, and it is the stage when love is more serious, so she repeated: "You said that there is nothing wrong with that painting!" ”

"Won't it?"

"You still deny it!"

Princess Qi was so angry that Princess Qi was flushed when she saw Bai Jinyu's refusal to admit it, while Bai Jinyu was in a posture of being beaten to death and fooling to the end.

"Chan'er!" At the moment of stalemate, a loud voice came from the main hall: "What makes you look like this?" ”

This voice sounded, and two words immediately floated through Bai Jinyu's head, it's over!

Just because the person who asked the question was none other than the emperor who sat high in the main hall - Feng Hua. It turned out that when Princess Qi was full of grievances, she happened to be seen clearly by Feng Hua, who was sitting on a high place.

With the emperor's concern and inquiry, this princess Qi finally found a place to comment, she almost jumped up from the ground, and pouted angrily and replied to the emperor: "Qi Shengshang, it's Princess Jin!" She just said that the concubine was making a big fuss, and said that there was nothing wrong with the painting of Concubine Li, the king of Wei! ”

Bai Jinyu was so shocked that he directly covered his heart, after this relay, the flavor has completely changed, and the severity has expanded by at least ten times, and it is more than enough to sentence him to be beheaded!!

"Oh?" Sure enough, the next moment, Wu Guifei had already asked her with a gun and a stick: "Princess Jin actually said that?" Now I want to listen to the high opinion of Princess Jin, if you can't say that she is ugly, but you have to ask for sin! ”

Being named like this, Bai Jinyu had to stand up first, and at this stop, she suddenly saw the eyes of the whole hall converging towards her.

It's been a long time since she's been noticed by so many people, and she can't help but feel stunned.

Everyone saw Bai Jinyu, and looked at Feng Chen with a lively mood, people saw that in this colorful and complicated gaze, Feng Chen looked at Bai Jinyu quietly, watching from the wall, without embarrassment, and did not mean to help.

"Ask the sin and forgive it, today is the queen's wedding banquet, so please ask Princess Jin to talk about her different opinions!" Feng Hua commanded.

Although he didn't have much contact with this younger brother and sister, he always had a good impression of her because they had experienced the gunsmoke of defending the imperial power together.
