Chapter 104: Goodbye to the Night Banquet
() Before Gui Yi decided whether to go to Bai Jin in private, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet began.
This night banquet was even grander than the last Queen's birthday banquet, after all, it was a day of celebration. It's just that the banquet was attended only by the officials and nobles of the dynasty, and no princes were present.
On this cold winter night, Gui Yi sat in his place, looking at the fresh fruits sent in by the palace attendants of the royal court, as well as the luxurious decoration of the palace, and couldn't help but shake his head. That's it!
Gui Yi thought, if the previous life did not seize the throne, this dynasty would fall apart in the end! I just don't know how long Bai Yuan has maintained the situation of this dynasty after he ascended the throne!
After all, from Guiyi's point of view, although the princes of various countries are still defending the royal court on the surface, the control and prestige of the royal court over them are already very weak. Otherwise, Baiyin would not have tried every means to balance the forces of all parties and let them restrain each other! This method is not wrong, but what makes Guiyi look down on it is that Baiyin's most common use is marriage!
"Why is Shaoshen drinking here alone? Looks sullen! A soft voice rang in my ears.
Gui Yi looked at the person who was leaning towards him on the left, a young woman, who seemed to be not much older than herself. She was dressed in a red brocade robe, and her head was also adorned with gold and silver beads, and she looked very good.
But no matter how good-looking she looks, it's just an ordinary dress, not a formal dress that represents her status, and Gui Yi knows that she is just an ordinary aristocratic girl. Tonight, although the dress worn by Gui Yi has been modified by Gui Wu, it is a formal dress of the few gods that has not crossed the rules of the dynasty. Speaking of the position of Shaoshen, when she was just three years old, Gui Zi asked the dynasty for a title!
Although the person who came was an ordinary aristocratic girl and seemed to be very gentle, what she said made people not so happy. Gui Yi nodded slightly and didn't talk to her.
The girl paused, her face flashing with embarrassment, and for a moment it was completely disguised. She casually took the wine glass, sat down in a position below Guiyi's right hand, and said with a smile: "Shaoshen has never attended such an event in previous years, and he rarely participates in some activities of the nobles of the dynasty on weekdays, so he doesn't know me!" I am the third princess of the Ruan Kingdom, Ruan Dynasty, this time I was invited by the queen's aunt to come to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, I didn't expect to meet Gui Ying Shaoshen here! ”
She looked at Guiyi's body, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and said gently: "The young god is really outstanding, it's better to meet than to be famous!" ”
Gui Yi didn't expect her to be the princess of Ruan Guo, that is, Ruan Zhen's sister? She took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a bit of similarity with Ruan Zhen between her eyebrows and eyes. It's just that this Ruan Dynasty's character is really far from Ruan Zhen!
Ruan Zhen may have been raised by the queen's side, even when facing Bai Jin, he has a sense of superiority, and he also has a faint sense of superiority in front of others, so he seems a little cold. But the one in front of her was not, she seemed enthusiastic, although the enthusiasm seemed fake.
However, Gui Yi was thinking that if she didn't open her mouth all the time, the third princess of Ruan Guo was afraid that she would always be able to praise her "enthusiastically".
"It turned out to be the third princess of Ruan Guo, disrespectful!" Guiyi raised his glass to her and took a shallow sip.
Ruan Zhen's sister, don't you run to sit with Ruan Zhen, what are you doing here? Gui Yi watched silently, she wanted to see what this third princess of Ruan Guo wanted to do?
Ruan Chao looked around and asked Guiyi, "I heard that Shaoshen has an extra sister, it is Liuxi of the Guliu clan, why didn't you see her today?" ”
"She's back to Mozambique!" Returning to the quiet Tao.
Ruan Chao nodded knowingly, "Yes, I just recognized my father, so naturally I want to accompany him more." Naturally, my father is more important than my fiancé! ”
"But speaking of this Liuxi, as soon as she came back, she took away the marriage contract of the young god, and now she is in the name of His Royal Highness's fiancée, but she always hooks the Second Highness, causing rumors, so that the lower part of the Great Hall is not good-looking." When Ruan Chao said this, he quietly looked at Guiyi's face.
Gui Yi knew in his heart, it seemed that this person was here for Liuxi.
However, Ruan Chao changed his words and said: "Obviously, at that time, the young god and the lady of His Royal Highness were born as a natural pair, and the marriage contract was also set in front of the princes of the world, so she wanted to intervene." That's it, I got it but didn't know how to cherish it! It's really incomprehensible! ”
Ruan Chao did not come over voluntarily to talk to Guiyi, she was sent by Ruan Zhen.
The queen has no time to take care of Liuxi now, and thinks that Liuxi can clean up whenever she wants. But Ruan Zhen couldn't see Liu Xi and Bai Yuan being together all day, and the two behaved intimately, so she couldn't sit still anymore, so she brought her sister.
Ruan Zhen knew that because of her previous targeting of Bai Jin, Gui Yi would definitely not listen to what she said. But this sister of her own is different, she is gentle, she seems to be very close, and she is also the most likable in the family, and it is best for her to blow the wind in Guiyi's ears.
Regarding the divorce, although Gui Yi was very generous and indifferent on the surface, Ruan Zhen did not believe that Gui Yi really did not resent or hate. She could see that Guiyi's feelings for Baijin before were true, and she didn't believe that Guiyi didn't have a little jealousy in her heart when she saw Baijin and Liuxi?
If this jealousy is harnessed, it will be of immeasurable value!
Ruan Chao didn't want to come, but Ruan Zhen was the most favored in front of the queen's aunt, and she was the best daughter-in-law candidate in her aunt's heart, and Ruan Chao had also reached the marriageable age, so she didn't dare to go against Ruan Zhen at this time, so she had to agree.
It's just that she imagined that it wasn't difficult, but she didn't expect this Gui Shaoshen to be so difficult to approach. No matter what she said, her expression didn't seem to change, as if her words didn't affect her at all. This made her heart beat a drum too, and she wondered if it was useful for her to say this?
Just when Ruan Chao was anxiously thinking of other ways, Gui Yi answered her words.
"The third princess doesn't seem to have seen Liuxi! I haven't seen it, so why does it sound so dissatisfied with her? Gui Yi said slowly.
Ruan Chao's eyes lit up when he heard her words, and he thought that what his sister said was really right, and this young god was also very dissatisfied with Liu Xi. Otherwise, she wouldn't be facing her, an outsider, and calling her by her name instead of calling her sister.
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Liuxi, but ...... Some rumors have already spread out of Chuanfang City, and now I am afraid that most of the vassal states know about it. Ruan Chao explained in a low voice: "I am not a person who believes in rumors, and I specially asked the eldest sister, and the eldest sister said that this is not a rumor, and many people in the royal court know it!" ”
This made Guiyi unable to take it, after all, she said the truth.
Ruan Chao looked at her face and said, "But fortunately, she was just recognized by Mo Jun, and she didn't grow up with Shaoshen since she was a child, otherwise."
