"See Zhou Guifei." Gu Xiqian walked towards Zhou Guifei, her face full of expectation.

Zhou Guifei walked into the room, her eyes met Gu Xiqian's expectant eyes, "The tribute brought by the envoy of the Nanyue Kingdom is very fond of it. ”

In this way, she is expected to enter the palace? Gu Xiqian was excited.

"So, did the emperor ever order a banquet to entertain everyone?" Gu Xiqian asked as she asked someone to bring the tea.

Zhou Guifei pursed her lips and smiled, "The county lord naturally doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore." Your entry into the palace has been completed. Just ......"

Hearing her words, and looking at her hesitant appearance, Gu Xiqian was really a little worried.

"Just what?" So, Gu Xiqian couldn't help but continue to ask.

"If the queen appears at the banquet, it will be very disadvantageous for me." Obviously, Zhou Guifei suddenly showed a preoccupied appearance.

I heard a lot of rumors in the palace, and Gu Xiqian naturally understood the contradiction between Concubine Zhou and the queen.

"The emperor's banquet has such a great influence, and the queen is the lord of the first palace, how can she not come?" Gu Xiqian felt that her analysis was quite reasonable.

"This banquet was set up by me for the emperor, if I don't allow it, she naturally won't have the face to attend." Suddenly, Zhou Guifei looked jealous and hateful.

It seems that the contradiction between her and the queen is not as simple as she imagined.

"So, is there any way for the county lord to keep the queen from appearing at the banquet?" After thinking about it, Zhou Guifei looked at Gu Xiqian thoughtfully.

Although the open and secret battles between these harem women can be participated in as little as possible, but their top priority, their own entry into the palace is bound to win, if they don't help Zhou Guifei solve this matter, they may really fall short.

"The concubine just said that this banquet was organized by you for the emperor, and this banquet is very grand and formal." After Gu Xiqian pondered for a while, he slowly spoke.

"Exactly." Zhou Guifei took a sip of the teacup and continued to listen to Gu Xiqian's next words.

Gu Xiqian's eyes were a little hazy, and she continued to speak: "Since this is the case, is it not possible for people who have not received invitations to attend the banquet?" ”

"That's true. It's just that if I don't send an invitation to the queen, I'm afraid that I will be accused of a crime and ridiculed by everyone. The queen has more handles......" Zhou Guifei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but squint.

"Niangniang, county lord, can you allow the slave to say a few words?" Zhou Guifei's personal maid seemed to have thought of something, and she looked confident.

Zhou Guifei and Gu Xiqian looked at the maidservant in unison, and Zhou Guifei spoke: "You say." ”

"The maidservant heard that the queen held a banquet for the emperor, and on the day she would go to a temple fair as scheduled to repay her vows." The maidservant whispered.

It can be said that a word wakes up the person in the dream.

"However, the queen attaches great importance to the emperor's banquet, so she may rush back early." Gu Xiqian looked at Zhou Guifei and blurted out. Zhou Guifei nodded, and instantly fell into deep thought.

"When the time comes, the maid will send the invitation to the queen." The maidservant suddenly volunteered, "The maidservant thought of a good excuse and postponed the delivery." ”

"This must not be, if the queen is to blame, how can you be a little slave?" Gu Xiqian thought it was incredible.

"Wonderful, wonderful. It's possible, but it's up to me to decide who sends the invitation. Zhou Guifei suddenly hooked her lips and smiled, put down the teacup, picked up the silk cloth and wiped it around her mouth.

After sending Zhou Guifei away, Gu Xiqian packed her things at home alone.

"County Lord, the slave maid has seen Concubine Zhou......" Liuyun walked in with a basin of cold water and hot water, and said tentatively.

Based on the fact that the incident was inexplicably discovered by Mo Xuanyin last time, Gu Xiqian felt that she had to keep her mouth shut about everyone now. "She just came over to chat with me and gave me some gifts." Gu Xiqian pursed her lips and smiled, took the hot towel handed over by Liuyun, and wiped it on her face.

When Liuyun left, he didn't forget to look back into the house, and his eyes fell on the door for a long time, and he didn't leave for a long time. "It's weird." She felt that Gu Xiqian seemed to be hiding something from her, and since she refused to say it, then she had to cautiously wait and see what happened.

The next morning, Liuyun saw that Gu Xiqian got up early and carefully sat in front of the dressing mirror to dress up, and the doubts in his heart began to rise again.

"Where is the county lord going today? Why do you wake up so early? After walking in the door, Liuyun asked while wringing out the towel and handing it to Gu Xiqian.

Gu Xiqian took the comb and combed her somewhat messy hair, and there was a little impatience in her eyes.

This Liuyun really asks everything, wants to know everything, and she now seriously suspects that Mo Xuanyin knows whether it was her secret that time.

"Liuyun, you help me take these clothes down and wash them, and then quickly take them to dry." Gu Xiqian raised her hand and pointed to the pile of clothes on the bed.

Liuyun had no choice but to comply.

After a while, the clouds sent the morning up. Seeing that Gu Xiqian had already dressed up, she hurriedly walked into the house.

"The county lord is going to attend the emperor's banquet?" Liuyun stared at the invitation on the table, and seemed to understand everything. "I have a deep friendship with Zhou Guifei, and this time she personally sent an invitation, how can I not give face." Gu Xiqian bit her lip and smiled.

Hearing her say this, Liuyun's eyes drooped down, and he looked thoughtful.

"Now I have to go, you go with me, remember, you can't leave my sight from now on. After all, the palace is now heavily guarded. Since she had suspicions, Gu Xiqian felt that she couldn't be given a chance to tell the truth no matter what.

After drinking the porridge, Gu Xiqian got up and walked to the door.

There was a sedan chair parked there, and Gu Xiqian opened the sedan curtain and sat in.

Not long after, Gu Xiqian and his party came to the palace.

"This time, the emperor really opened the palace." Gu Xiqian lifted the curtain. This crowd was full of people, and it was simply the atmosphere that a banquet should have.

In a blink of an eye, she actually saw Gu Miaoxuan's figure.

It was past noon, and all those who had been invited to the banquet entered the main hall where the banquet was set up.

"Miss." After being called by the servant girl beside her, as soon as Gu Miaoxuan raised her eyes, Gu Xiqian's figure came into view.

Suddenly, Gu Miaoxuan couldn't help but squint her eyes, and her face became a little ugly.

"His eyes were blank, he was dressed in white, and his pace was sluggish. Tut-tut, today is the emperor's banquet, and the county lord doesn't know how to dress up for different occasions. Looking at Gu Xiqian who was walking towards her, Gu Miaoxuan sneered and smiled at her maidservant.

Unexpectedly, with such a lively and festive banquet, he was actually arranged to sit with Gu Miaoxuan? Gu Xiqian couldn't help but sneer, her eyes were full of disgust.

"Miss Gu, didn't you sleep well last night, and your eyes are not good at seeing things? The clothes worn by my county lord are obviously only a little white, why are they all white in your eyes? Liuyun scoffed and glared at her.

Gu Miaoxuan was so angry that she raised her hand and was about to hit Liuyun in the face, "Which turn is your slave here?" ”

Unexpectedly, she was held hard by Liuyun and pinched her wrist fiercely.

"Miss Gu, if I hadn't trained Liuyun so well, you would definitely have lost your temper in public." Gu Xiqian sneered, and there was no fear in her eyes when she looked at Gu Miaoxuan.

Hearing this, Gu Miaoxuan glared angrily at Gu Xiqian, "Sure enough, what kind of slave and maid is taught by what master." ”

As she said word by word, the more force Liuyun used, which made her face turn blue with pain.

"Let's see, the county lord's slaves and maids do things to people in public." Gu Miaoxuan's maid took the opportunity to shout loudly.

Liuyun quickly let go of Gu Miaoxuan's hand.

"Gu Xiqian, I owe the county lord on the left and the county lord on the right, I don't know where I offended you, bullied me a weak woman and beat me like this?" Obviously, Gu Miaoxuan was unwilling and continued to make a lot of noise.

The people next to them cast strange glances at them one after another.

While Gu Xiqian was not paying attention, Gu Miaoxuan picked up the wine glass on the table and threw it on Gu Xiqian.

"Be careful." Liuyun quickly blocked in front of Gu Xiqian.

The wine flowed down the clouds and clothes, drop by drop. "Miss Gu has any dissatisfaction and comes directly at me, why do you want to attack one of my subordinates?" Gu Xiqian was really a little angry, but fought back sensibly.

"This Miss Gu is really true."

"The county lord is magnanimous enough."

"What kind of system."

The people next to him couldn't stand it anymore and talked about it.

In an instant, Gu Miaoxuan felt very shameless. Looking at her hateful, angry and helpless look at Gu Xiqian, Gu Xiqian felt extremely ridiculous.

"What's so exciting? Attract Del and other onlookers? The emperor suddenly appeared. As soon as these words came out, everyone was frightened and returned to their positions.

"Your Majesty, the county lord bullied me with her identity." A hint of cunning flashed in Gu Miaoxuan's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said.

"As the county lord, why are you still so ignorant? Okay, I won't count you as a big mistake this time, and I'll punish you when the banquet is over. The emperor clearly gave Gu Xiqian a chance to explain.

Gu Xiqian bit her lip, looking at Gu Miaoxuan's arrogant appearance, she didn't care about it at all.

"The emperor ......" Gu Xiqian didn't want to suffer this dumb loss.

"That's it. The banquet will begin soon, and the county lord, don't keep giving me a whole bunch of moths. Otherwise, Hugh blames me, you're welcome. The emperor's reprimand, it is not difficult for anyone with a discerning eye to see that he is supporting Gu Miaoxuan again.

In this case, Gu Xiqian could only endure the calm for a while.

"Long live the emperor." When the emperor walked towards the dragon chair, Gu Miaoxuan raised her chin defiantly to Gu Xiqian.

At the beginning of the banquet, the emperor just politely toasted with a few courtiers, and then left after a few words of greeting.

Gu Xiqian noticed the change in the emperor's eyes and saw a hint of panic in his eyes.
