Chapter 143: Palace Banquet
On the day of the banquet, the inner courtyard of the palace was lit up everywhere, and red silk was hung high on the courtyards of every place, especially Xie Yuerou's palace was even more splendid.
Gu Wanwan was wearing an official uniform, stood at the gate of the palace and simply cleaned up her appearance, and then followed the little yellow gate that led the way into the palace.
This banquet was originally intended to have a full moon banquet for the prince who was just born to Xie Yuerou, but behind the scenes, everyone actually knew it. This banquet is actually a banquet specially organized by Emperor Lao'er in order to show his love for Xie Yuerou and his attention to the little prince.
Ning Chang ** is not a favor, now that the little prince is born, the future will be even more difficult.
The civil and military officials of the imperial court all sighed, but the person concerned, Ning Changyuan, did not take this as a thing.
His father, although he is a faint monarch, usually does not like to deal with political affairs, and is most likely to be bewitched by others, and he can't figure out Xie Zong's twists and turns.
But he's not stupid. He would not put a very large state power in the hands of a man who could not even speak.
Even if he is really stupid and really has this idea, as long as the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs is not dead, his position as the crown prince will still be as stable as a mountain.
There is no one in this world who is more suitable to take over this country than Ning Changyuan, who has been cultivated as an heir since childhood.
Gu Wanwan also had the same idea as Ning Changyuan, and she didn't worry about this problem at all. On the contrary, what she was worried about was that Xie Zong had no way to calculate Ning Changyuan in the court, and if the harem fell, would he join Xie Yuerou to stumble Ning Changyuan again.
Although Xie Yuerou has not done this kind of thing before, but now it is different from the past.
After all, Xie Yuerou now has a prince who can compete with Ning Changyuan for the position of prince.
You can ignore the small fights in the past.
If you really make a move in the future, it's a game of life!
No matter how many stumbling blocks Xie Zong gave Ning Changyuan behind his back, Gu Wanwan believed that Ning Changyuan's intelligence could definitely be predicted.
But the women of the harem would never have imagined that they could do unimaginable things in order to compete for fame and fortune, for glory and wealth.
With the guidance of Xiao Huangmen, Gu Wanwan quickly found her seat, his rank was not too high among the ministers and princes and nobles present, and he could only barely sit in the middle.
As soon as Gu Wanwan sat down, she heard someone at the door: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" The noisy crowd in the room immediately stood up and bowed: "Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
"Excuse me." Gu Wanwan lowered her head, hearing Ning Changyuan's cold voice, and somehow suddenly thought that in her bedroom that day, Ning Changyuan suddenly approached, and then gently kissed her eyebrows.
She was extremely glad that Ning Changyuan escaped faster than her at that moment, otherwise Ning Changyuan would definitely hear the heartbeat in her chest that was about to jump out.
Earthquake sounded.
She had never heard such a loud heartbeat in her life, and at what point did Gu Wanwan think that she was going to skip like this.
Afterwards, Gu Wanwan touched her hot face with both hands, and kept taking deep breaths to calm her heartbeat and her complex emotions.
The feeling is complicated, not happy or unhappy, just the feeling of nervousness and anticipation.
Even after discovering that Ning Changyuan simply kissed her eyes and didn't move, Gu Wanwan was still a little disappointed!
Gu Wanwan, who realized what she was thinking about just now, gently patted her head, and the moment she raised her head, her eyes met Ning Changyuan's concerned gaze unexpectedly.
The two looked at each other, and then turned away in the next second. Ning Changyuan then turned around and exhaled softly, not daring to take another look. Gu Wanwan covered her mouth and nose with the corner of her clothes, and gently patted her cheek with her other hand to make herself sober up.
"Lord Gu, what is this?" An official sitting on the side noticed that Gu Wanwan's movements were abnormal, and came over to ask with concern. Gu Wanwan had no choice but to put down her hand in embarrassment, and explained with a chuckle: "It's nothing, it's just that I rarely have the opportunity to participate in this kind of banquet where the Holy Lord is present in person, and I was a little nervous for a while, so I just patted my cheek and relaxed myself." ”
The man saw that Gu Wanwan didn't seem to talk to him much, so he nodded knowingly, sat back in his seat and chatted with the officials and ministers on the same side.
There are many people at this banquet, Gu Wanwan is not good at giving Ning Changyuan a small talk in front of everyone, in case someone accidentally sees it, it will not be good to spread it to the emperor's ears.
It's better to avoid suspicion for now.
Gu Wanwan made up her mind and swore to cheer herself up: "Gu Wanwan believes in herself!" You can definitely do it! ”
"The emperor has arrived! The moon concubine has arrived! As the sound of the small yellow door spread, two bright yellow figures walked slowly in from the door of the store.
Everyone in the hall fell to the ground and shouted in unison: "The minister greets the emperor, Concubine Yue." Long live my emperor, long live the moon concubine, Niangniang, thousand years old, thousand years old. ”
"Aiqing, let's get even." With a happy face, the emperor pulled Xie Yuerou to sit at the main table at the head of the hall.
According to etiquette, the main seat is the emperor's position, and even the queen mother who is in charge of the phoenix seal can only sit at the main table at the banquet.
And she Xie Yuerou is just an ordinary concubine, even if she favors the sixth palace, what if she almost becomes a queen? She still doesn't even have the position of the fourth concubine now, and according to the rules, she doesn't even have the qualifications to accompany the holy driver.
Not even qualified to enter this temple.
But looking at the full number of officials, no one objected to this scene, and everyone was used to it.
Since Xie Yuerou entered the palace, have there been fewer such violations of the rules of the organization?
Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that Xie Yuerou is wearing this bright yellow dress, according to the etiquette system, she is not qualified to wear it.
Bright yellow, only the queen can wear it in the harem, this is the rule.
But rules and rituals can't stand up to the favor of the saints. The emperor pampered Xie Yuerou in every way, wearing whatever he wanted, doing whatever he wanted, disturbing the entire harem without peace.
Xie Yuerou also relied on the emperor's favor to be powerful all day long, and the concubines and slaves in the harem were all in pain, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
Gu Wanwan sighed secretly in her heart, this emperor is really mediocre and cruel.
The previous dynasty was controlled by Xie Zong, and the harem let Xie Yuerou be a blessing, and the Xie father and daughter united to not know how many innocent people were killed behind their backs and how many lives were killed.
It was only a matter of time before such an emperor stepped down. And the country in which such an emperor lives, if the person who takes over is not a person with great talent, the future of this country will not be long.
