"Ye Qianhan?" Gu Yanran was thoughtful.

Stop...... This one is handsome and funny, the other is soft and kind, and it's really a good match.

"Well, Ye Qianhan." Yin Yuyue nodded shyly.

Gu Yanran smiled slyly. "Does he know you like him?"

Yin Yuyue waved her hand again and again as if she was frightened. "No, no, no, of course I don't know, he doesn't even know who I am!"

"Oh?" Gu Yanran was surprised. "Since he doesn't know you, you definitely haven't had anything to do with him, so why do you like him?"

"Actually, I've only seen him three times from afar." Yin Yuyue recalled the picture of seeing him at the beginning. "The first time I saw him was during the spring rain two years ago. I ran out of the city to enjoy the flowers, but it suddenly rained heavily. I was looking for a place to hide from the rain, and as soon as I ran under a big tree, I saw him kneeling motionless in front of a tombstone. That scene...... It's sad. ”

"You fell in love with him at first sight?"

"Strictly speaking, it should be love at first sight." Yin Yuyue continued. "The second time we met, it was also outside the city. That day was my mother's birthday, she wanted to see flowers, so I went out of the city to pick them for her, but I didn't expect to see him again, when he had just rescued a wounded rabbit from under the beast, and said to the rabbit very gently, 'Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all right', and I liked him. ”

Gu Yanran asked with some expectation. "And then, what about the third time I saw him?"

"The third time is actually nothing special, just passing by on the street, he followed the attendants of the Zhenguo General's Mansion and called him 'Seventh Prince', I knew that he was the concubine of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Ye Qianhan."

Gu Yanran felt that Yin Yuyue and Ye Qianhan were still quite related. "Do you want to be with him, then?" If she wants, she doesn't mind being a matchmaker for adult beauty.

"I wanted to, but I couldn't." Yin Yuyue's expression was full of loneliness and helplessness.

"If you want to, why can't you?" Gu Yanran didn't understand Yin Yuyue's thoughts.

Yin Yuyue sighed. "I'm a concubine, and I'm not favored, so I can't make my own decisions about marriage. For example, this time I came to participate in the concubine selection banquet, even if I didn't want to, but if I was favored by the second prince, I could only marry him, and I had no choice. But I have a hunch that the second prince should not look down on me, hehe. ”

Gu Yanran. ...... "Should I comfort you in your situation, or do I wish you a hunch come true?"

Finally, the palace people brought Gu Yanran and others to the palace banquet hall.

Before entering the palace banquet hall, Gu Qiqiao and Ling Yuan were taken away by a palace maid for placement

And when he entered the palace banquet hall, Yin Yuyue was also taken away by other palace people.

The palace man who had been leading the way from the palace gate personally sent Gu Yanran to the designated seat. "Miss Gu, this is your seat, please take a seat."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Gu Yanran thanked the palace people, and then sat down.

Not long after Gu Yanran sat down, the empty seats around her were gradually filled.

There were unfamiliar people around her, Gu Yanran was happy and relaxed, so she sat quietly until her back was poked several times in succession.

Gu Yanran raised her eyebrows and turned her head, but she was greeted with a smile.

“…… Excuse me, what's the matter? Gu Yanran inexplicably felt that the girl's silhouette was a little familiar.

"Sister Gu." The girl affectionately called Gu Yanran. "When we met for the first time, my name was Shen Chuying, and I was Shen Shaoyi's sister."

Gu Yanran smiled back at this time. "It turned out to be Shen Gongzi's sister, fortunately."

"Together, together." Shen Chuying then pointed to the two little sisters sitting beside her. "Let me introduce Sister Gu, these two are my cousins, Tang Zhenzhen and Tang Liuliu."

Tang Zhenzhen and Tang Liuliu are also enthusiastic and greeted Gu Yanran one after another.

"Sister Gu, I'm Zhenzhen."

"I'm Liu Liu."

Gu Yanran's smile was a little more genuine. "Tang Yushi's?"

"Yes." Tang Zhenzhen.

"Yes." Tang Liuliu.

"That, Sister Gu." Shen Chuying blushed slightly. "It's a bit abrupt, but we want to ask...... Where is the dress made? ”

Gu Yanran finally understood the reason why these little girls took the initiative to talk. "This dress is not custom-made by me, but the treasure of a garment shop, I customized forty sets of dresses at one time, and then the shopkeeper gave me this dress."

"The treasure of the town shop?"

"For you?"

"Sister Gu's luck is too good." Shen Chuying was envious and asked again. "Which master is this dress from? We also want to go to this master to customize a few sets. ”

Gu Yanran shook her head. "The old man has long since passed away, and this dress is her deathbed."

Shen Chuying inevitably said with some regret. "It's already gone, so we can't wear such a beautiful dress."

"It's a pity." Tang Zhenzhen.

"It's a pity." Tang Liuliu.

"Huh." A strange taunt of yin and yang sounded on the side. "Three stupid, I can't hear such an obvious prevarication, then Gu Yanran just wants to hide her secrets, how can she really tell you where the custom dress is?"

Shen Chuying scolded the man with a calm face. "Wei Donglu, just eavesdrop on others, but you still try to stir up trouble, do you want to be ashamed?"

"I talk so loudly and blame others for eavesdropping, obviously you are the first to spare people and be quiet!" Wei Donglu replied confidently.

Tang Zhenzhen leaned into Gu Yanran's ear at this time and introduced. "This is the daughter of Wei Zheng, an academician of the Hanlin Academy, a master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, willful to the extreme, Academician Wei is heartbroken for Wei Donglu, my father is caught by Academician Wei every time he enters the palace to complain, and his ears are strange to hear the calluse."

"Oh." Gu Yanran responded perfunctorily, obviously not interested in this topic.

……

……

At noon, the main characters of the concubine selection banquet arrived one after another.

The eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the seventh princess came together and sat in their seats.

Then there are the three princes, the six princes, the eighth princes, and the nine princesses.

The seven imperial heirs came in two waves, and in fact, it can be seen that the royal family has been divided into two factions.

Then the five princes came, alone, and greeted the eldest prince and the third prince with a smile, and no one was offended, which was obviously neutral.

After the ninth princess entered the table, she looked around, and when she saw Gu Yanran sitting directly opposite, she wanted to run over. "I'm going to find Sister Yanran!"

"Nine Emperor Sisters, you are not allowed to go over." The Eighth Prince stopped the Ninth Princess. "Don't forget, this banquet is the second emperor's concubine selection banquet, and Miss Gu is one of the candidates for the side concubine, you will only make her uncomfortable in the past."

The ninth princess flattened her mouth. "Okay, if you don't go, you won't go, I'll wait until the concubine selection banquet is over and then play with her."

At this time, the great eunuch screamed at the door of the palace banquet hall. "The monarch has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! Ning Guifei has arrived! ”

Everyone in the palace banquet hall stood up, greeted the three people to sit on the main seat, and knelt down in unison to salute.

"Weichen/Minnu, I have seen the monarch, the queen mother, and Ning Guifei."

"Erchen has seen his father, grandmother, mother/Ning Guifei."

The monarch raised his hand. "Flat!"
