Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Golden Autumn Banquet

When Li Chuxia and Chu Yunxiao came out with the pastries they had made with their hearts, the sharp-eyed Li Chuxia immediately noticed that there seemed to be something different about the package on the table.

"Did you put this package next to the cup before we went inside?" Li Chuxia felt that something was wrong, so he asked the person next to him.

Chu Yunxiao didn't see any difference, and he didn't remember whether he put it next to him, so he recalled it carefully, but there was no result.

"Forget it, I know you must not remember when I look at your expression, I just remember that before we walked into the house, your package was placed next to this teaglass, but after we came out, it moved half an inch away from the teacup."

Li Chuxia looked at the cloth bag package on the table very seriously, if the clothes in this package were tampered with, it would definitely want to make Chu Yunxiao ugly.

So he directly put the plate in his hand on Chu Yunxiao's hand next to him, Li Chuxia directly opened the clothes in the package and took a closer look, and noticed that there were several holes in the waist.

"Sure enough!" Li Chuxia's face was a little bad, and he looked at the hole in the clothes that had been revealed in his hand.

Chu Yunxiao looked at the holes exposed on the clothes, and his face immediately became bad, so he directly put the plate next to him, and looked at the exquisitely made clothes with a distressed face, which was now damaged.

"How good is this, but in a short period of time, why is this dress torn!" Chu Yunxiao's face was slightly pale, after all, there was only one such thing in this dress, if it was really broken, there would be no replacement for it.

Li Chuxia thought about it carefully with a cold face, and then looked at the hole and found that it was still too late to sew it if he wanted to hurry up.

"If you go to the rehearsal later, it is estimated that it will be after dinner, so take advantage of this time, I will quickly use needlework to help you make up for it." Li Chuxia thought about it carefully, and it was better to quickly use needles and threads to make up for it.

Chu Yunxiao also agreed, after all, as a woman in the middle of the boudoir, the needlework in her hands was not very bad, so she directly found the needlework and began to sew the holes in her clothes with Li Chuxia.

Because this dress is very delicate, if it is sewn up, you have to be careful and careful, because the needle and thread on this dress are specially made, so Li Chuxia can only sew it inside, and cannot leak this crude needle and thread to the outside for people to see.

"Be careful, after all, this needle and thread is different from the thread on your clothes, and we have to hide the thread in it." Li Chuxia cautiously instructed Chu Yunxiao beside him.

Chu Yunxiao nodded seriously, after all, she still knew these things, so the two of them sat in the courtyard and carefully sewed their clothes.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were originally passing by, they didn't know what was going on with these two masters, and they were still sitting in the courtyard sewing clothes at this time.

But these things are not what the people below them should ask about, so after taking two looks, they can only leave in a hurry.

After sewing for a while, it was finally done, and the clothes that had been destroyed were now cut off and sewn into the clothes, but they didn't look much different from the previous ones.

"It's okay, it's finally done." Chu Yunxiao breathed a long sigh of relief.

After finally finishing the skirt before the banquet began, the first junior returned to the queen's side to participate in the dance rehearsal, and Li Chuxia was relieved to go back to the kitchen to continue tinkering with the things to be made tomorrow.

Everything went according to plan, except for Concubine Jing's side who still lost her temper indiscriminately, because she was unwilling, so even if the banquet was about to start now, she was still very unhappy in her heart.

Fortunately, after being comforted by the palace maid for a while, the temper in her heart was finally endured.

Concubine Jing decided that although she gave up the banquet of the Golden Autumn Festival to the queen this time, there would always be a chance to move back to this floor in the future.

On the second day, when the Golden Autumn Banquet officially began, all the invited ministers and eunuchs and their families were all placed in the main hall, and everyone waited for the emperor to officially start the banquet.

After waiting for the emperor for a long time, everyone was whispering, this yellow was almost half an hour late, but everyone didn't dare to complain, so they began to chat in their own positions as they liked.

Baili Qiao'er was placed in the first row as the spirit concubine, and Li Chuxia was in the same position in the second row at this time.

Because she had waited long enough, the queen couldn't hold the face on her face at this time, so she asked the palace maid around her to invite the emperor over, and as soon as she walked out of the palace, the emperor came over with Concubine Jing.

"The emperor has arrived."

With the shout of the personal eunuch, all the people in the entire hall stood up and greeted the emperor at the door, and by the way, Concubine Jing was with him.

After waiting for the emperor to finally come over, he said slowly, the banquet was held, and Concubine Jing snuggled up to the emperor very shyly.

Although this is very unruly, after all, as a concubine, you can't sit with the emperor at the banquet.

However, because the emperor favored the queen, he couldn't say anything, so he also sat next to him, but his face was not so ugly.

Because after the banquet officially began, all the palace maids came up to dance, followed by the dances prepared by the minister's family members and the young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet, as well as a talent show.

Li Chuxia has also been very busy recently, and finally has a time to rest, but at this time, she is concentrating on watching the dances of those palace maids, looking at those soft dances, but she feels that she would rather be the emperor, after all, there are so many beauties to watch, and those dances are really soft to the extreme, she can watch them with relish.

Although his eyes were above those palace maids, he always felt that there were several lines of sight looking at him, not only Baili Yunzheng, but also the second prince, and even the eyes of the crown prince and the third prince.

Because his current position is in the harem, there are still many ministers' families who are also cautiously looking at their existence.

Li Chuxia held his forehead with his hand a little helplessly, trying to block some of those things, after all, he was sitting here quietly watching the dance.

Then, after those dances were over, it was the turn of Chu Yunxiao to prepare a hundred birds and a phoenix.

The dance is also extremely soft, but it comes, in a few words, it is like a frightening dragon.

This dance naturally attracted everyone's attention, and even the emperor didn't care about Concubine Jing in his hand, and his eyes fell on Chu Yunxiao who was standing under the stage.

"This song is very good, but the audience is Chu Yunxiao, the daughter of the prime minister?"

After the emperor watched the dance, of course, he wanted to praise it at this time.

Chu Yunxiao had just finished dancing, her face was a little red, and she was even more endearing, and she also bowed her head to answer the emperor's question at this time.

"Yes, it's the courtier." Chu Yunxiao gasped slightly when he answered.

The Emperor nodded appreciatively, "Not bad! The daughter of the first phase family is naturally good! ”

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment." Chu Yunxiao accepted it very generously, and then slowly retreated.

Because Su Yuelan arranged a guzheng song, she originally chose the song of high mountains and flowing water, thinking that she would definitely shine at the banquet tonight, but she didn't expect that Chu Yunxiao in front of her had her skirt intact, not to mention, this dance also won everyone's praise.

However, the tune chosen now is not suitable for this banquet at all, and it is too late to change it, and the chasing guzheng is also mediocre and fearless, but not many people applaud, and after the conversation, he had to leave in disgrace.

Su Yuelan hated Chu Yunxiao who had finished dancing very much, and many people were praising the prime minister's daughter for being so soft and outstanding, etc., no one was praising herself.

Even when he sat down to rest, he heard the officials and relatives around him discussing that this pastry was very good, and even Li Chuxia had to praise a few more words.

Su Yuelan sat in her place, her hand hidden under the long sleeves had already been clenched into a fist, and she gritted her teeth and looked at Chu Yunxiao, who was sitting not far away, very dazzling.

Concubine Jing sat beside the emperor, naturally she was favored, and now she was sitting on the high platform, her vision was very broad, and naturally she also fell on Chu Yunxiao, who had just finished dancing a very amazing song, looking at the daughter of the prime minister, who looked good-looking, and her dancing posture was so soft, whether it was her demeanor or all aspects, she was equivalent to the young lady of the big family, and she was generous.

Now that the crown prince does not have a concubine, if Chu Yunxiao and the prince are married, it will be a great help for the prince to ascend to the throne in the future!

Concubine Jing's eyes flashed with calculation, and her eyes looked at Chu Yunxiao, who was sitting under the stage, with a burning gaze.

Chu Yunxiao naturally felt it, many people in this banquet hall were looking at themselves, silently bearing these gazes, not panicking but eating the pastries on their plates generously, thinking about the one in front of them, but Li Chuxia specially prepared it for himself, and he was also happy in his heart.

After Concubine Jing, who had an excuse to go out to breathe, left the banquet hall, she naturally noticed that the prince also came out with herself.

"Now there is still a lack of a crown princess in your mansion, although you have a side concubine, but there are some things that should not be talked about, and there are still some things that need to be reined in, you know it in your own heart."

Concubine Jing stood alone on the edge of the pool and looked at the prince who walked behind her, and then slowly spoke.

"Mother, the sons know."

Although the prince has a gloomy personality and likes men, he is still extremely obedient, and some things are also very secretive, and no one else notices it.

Concubine Jing looked at the obedient appearance of the prince beside her, and then continued to speak: "Since you know, then you should have more contact with Chu Yunxiao, the daughter of the first prime minister, no matter what method you use, you have to let her marry you with all her heart." ”

"Erchen understands." The prince nodded.

However, all this was heard by Li Chuxia, who happened to be passing by and was about to go to the toilet.
