On the second day, all those who have a certain status in the court are ordered to enter the palace to participate in the celebration banquet, and the emperor is in a good mood and allows everyone to bring their families with them to show the emperor's grace.

As a prince and meritorious hero, Jiang Yichen was of course invited, early in the morning, Mama Wang was ordered to come to Lingshuang Courtyard and sent Cheng Qingyue a set of exquisite and luxurious new clothes to participate in today's palace banquet, although Cheng Qingyue felt that the clothes were more expensive, but she understood that today's occasion should not be sloppy, so she obediently changed on.

After she changed her clothes and came out, Xuan'er opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, "Miss, you are so beautiful today, like a fairy descending to earth!"

Cheng Qingyue smiled: "It's sweet for you."

Mama Wang looked Cheng Qingyue up and down, nodded and praised: "Miss Yue is naturally beautiful, but she doesn't like to dress up on weekdays, she always wears some simple and light clothes, although her temperament is elegant and noble, but she always feels that there is less fireworks.

Cheng Qingyue has never worn this kind of cumbersome and complicated brocade clothes, she felt unaccustomed to it, and she was praised by the two of them, and she suddenly felt embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Mama praised, Qingyue grew up in the mountains and wilderness, and she has never understood etiquette, even if she has gorgeous clothes, it is difficult to hide the habits of the rivers and lakes on her body, how can she be compared with the golden branches and jade leaves, and go to the banquet today, just to not lose the etiquette and shame Brother Chen."

Mama Wang shook her head and said: "Miss Yue is not modest, I entered the palace at the age of fourteen, and I stayed in the palace for twenty years, and there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and I have seen all kinds of beauties, so ordinary people can't get into my eyes.

After speaking, she looked at Cheng Qingyue carefully, took a white jade plum blossom tassel from the dressing table, and pinned it to her head, Cheng Qingyue glanced in the mirror, and instantly felt that there was a trace of elegance and agility in the luxury.

Xuan'er exclaimed again: "Oh, Mama, you are so powerful, Miss is even more beautiful with this step, if this prince sees it, he doesn't know what he will be fascinated into!"

Cheng Qingyue pretended to be disgusted and said: You little girl, what are you talking about? ”

Mama Wang looked at the master and servant with a smile and smiled.

"Yue'er."

Jiang Yichen didn't know when he came to the room, he saw that Cheng Qingyue had changed into new clothes, and his back was graceful, and he didn't feel his heart fluttering.

When she turned around and smiled back at him, Jiang Yichen only felt that everything in the room had become bleak, and only Cheng Qingyue was left as dazzling as the morning glow, and for a while, she was stunned.

"Brother Chen."

Hearing Cheng Qingyue call him, he withdrew his obsessive eyes and looked at her with a smile.

After Xuan'er saluted, she whispered to Cheng Qingyue: "Miss, what I said is right, look at the way the prince looks at you."

Cheng Qingyue whispered to Xuan'er, while glancing at Jiang Yichen, seeing that his eyes were still strong when he looked at her, he blushed.

"Yue'er, your outfit today is to compare all the women in this world."

"Brother Chen, how can there be a reason for your own people to praise your own people, and you said this, I feel even more frightened, today's celebration banquet, we are not the protagonists, if it is too public, noisy and dominant, wouldn't it be rude."

Mama Wang smiled and said: "Miss Yue, relax, today is a celebration banquet, the emperor is happy, the concubines must do everything possible to dress themselves up, in order to win the emperor's favor, not to mention that there are many women present, they will definitely wear brocade clothes." This outfit was chosen by me personally, and I have my own thoughts in my heart, and it will not be too ostentatious or too rude, so Miss Yue can rest assured. ”

Jiang Yichen agreed: "Mama has been in the palace for many years and has participated in many such banquets, knowing the severity, Yue'er should not worry."

"It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, so Qingyue can wear it with confidence."

At this time, the next person came to report that the carriage was ready, so the two went out of the palace side by side, got into the carriage, and went straight to the imperial city.

The moon viewing platform is located in the southwest of the Imperial Garden, it is a high platform that has been built, because of the wide field of vision, the scenery is excellent, and it is a good place to enjoy the moon at night, as the name of the moon viewing platform.

After entering the imperial city from the palace gate, the two walked through the long palace wall, walked through the corridor, and turned around before coming to the viewing platform.

When they arrived, the ministers and their families had come one after another, and everyone sat in their places one after another, and because the emperor had not yet come, they gathered together and whispered. After a while, King Kang also came over, he ignored the noise of others, closed his eyes and got up.

When Cheng Qingyue and Jiang Yichen came over, everyone stopped talking, and looked at them with their eyes brushed, their eyes were full of admiration.

When Jiang Yicheng saw the sixth brother coming, he waved his hand to greet him from afar, Jiang Yichen smiled at him in response, and took Cheng Qingyue to sit down next to Jiang Yicheng.

After he sat down, he saw Yang Jingye sitting opposite, Yang Chengzhi and Yang Jinghe sitting behind his father, and after the eyes of the four of them casually met, they naturally slid away.

Jiang Yicheng naturally noticed the difference between Cheng Qingyue today, and he sincerely appreciated: "Sister Qingyue, you look so good today, when you came just now, everyone was looking at you!" ”

Cheng Qingyue was not very accustomed to this kind of clothes, nor was she used to this kind of occasion, she was watched by everyone just now, and she was praised by Jiang Yicheng again, and she was a little unnatural in her heart, and when she was thinking about how to be polite, she only heard everyone say loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, King Anyang."

When she looked up, it turned out to be the crown prince and the king of Anyang.

As soon as the prince came over, he noticed Cheng Qingyue beside Jiang Yichen, his eyes lit up, and he came over with his head held high and said: "I have long heard that the sixth brother is suave, hiding in the golden house of Cangzhou, and spoiling a beauty in the mansion.

King Anyang also came over and smirked: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, they all say that there are many beautiful people in the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, but compared to this girl, they are all a lot more discolored."

The prince was salivating when he saw Cheng Qingyue, listening to Jiang Yihuan talking cool words on the side, and then thinking about those concubines in his palace, he suddenly felt that they were all rouge vulgar fans, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Jiang Yichen was about to say something, Cheng Qingyue had already stepped forward and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, what kind of woman in the world has never seen it, the little girl was born in the countryside, her words and deeds are vulgar, how dare she compare with the beauty in your palace, it is just His Royal Highness the Prince's love."

Jiang Yichen looked at Cheng Qingyue, his eyes full of approval.

The prince was originally embarrassed by what King Anyang said just now, and after hearing Cheng Qingyue's words, his heart was a lot more comfortable, he saw Cheng Qingyue's eyes firm, and her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, so he knew that she was not an ordinary woman, and she should not be easily blasphemed, so he dispelled the idea of non-division and walked towards his position.

After the prince left, the king of Anyang pretended to be polite and said: "The sixth brother is back, and the younger brother will have time to visit in the future, and he will ask the sixth brother to atone for his sins."

Jiang Yichen lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Ninth brother is polite, you are deeply favored by your father and emperor, and your future is immeasurable, how can I let you visit me with my sick and weak body."

King Anyang smiled: "Having said that, you and I are brothers, and we still have to have more contacts, so don't have to be separated."

Jiang Yichen's face did not change, but his heart was extremely indifferent, it was this brother who prevented him from returning to Beijing and was bent on killing him.

After a few more polite words, the two returned to their respective positions.

After a while, Concubine Hui, Concubine Jin, Concubine Qian and other concubines and beautiful princesses also came over one after another, Concubine Hui has always been low-key, so the dress is also simple and generous, and it looks stable and polite.

Other beauties can see that they have been carefully dressed up, wanting to win the favor, and for a while, all the flowers gathered, quite a momentum of competition.

Everyone was talking, only to hear the eunuch's sharp voice shouting: "The emperor has arrived!"

I saw King Jiang in a black gold silk dragon robe in front, parallel to the Queen Mother, the queen, Chen Guifei, and Princess Anping behind, and the five of them ascended to the center of the high platform in turn.

Everyone hurriedly got up and shouted in unison: "See the emperor."

"Zhongqing is flat." Jiang Wang was in a very happy mood today, and said with a smile: "Today is a celebration for Yang Aiqing, the whole world celebrates, all the secretaries don't have to be formal, just have fun."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone thanked him and sat down, with the sound of silk and bamboo musical instruments, a line of singers came in a beautiful way, singing and dancing lightly, wonderful, and everyone was drunk while enjoying the dance.

In the interval between enjoying the music, Cheng Qingyue glanced at the queen and Chen Guifei on the high platform, and saw that the queen was wearing a red gold and silver silk Luan Bird Chaofeng dress, showing grace and nobility in her gestures. Chen Guifei was dressed in a purple flowing cloud brocade palace suit, and she was properly maintained, so she looked bright and abnormal, and the two of them had their own characteristics, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

At this time, Cheng Qingyue really believed what Mama said, and sure enough, with the comparison, she was not so conspicuous, thinking of this, she was not only relieved.

Jiang Yichen seemed to be able to perceive her thoughts, and saw Cheng Qingyue relax her body and looked at her with a smile.

"Brother Chen, who is the girl next to the queen, she looks very kind?"

Jiang Yichen replied: "That's the queen's concubine, our imperial sister, Princess Anping."

Cheng Qingyue exclaimed: "I saw the princess today, and I saw what golden branches and jade leaves are, and sure enough, everyone's demeanor and bearing are extraordinary."

Jiang Yicheng said: "What Sister Qingyue said is that the imperial sister is the favorite princess of her father, and she has been carefully raised by the queen since she was a child.

"Well, no wonder."

"Sister Qingyue, look," Jiang Yicheng gestured to Cheng Qingyue to look at Concubine Qian, "The one next to Concubine Qian's mother is our imperial sister Princess Jingshu, and her temperament is much worse than that of the imperial sister." ”

Cheng Qingyue looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, although Princess Jingshu looked quiet and modest, she didn't have the atmosphere of Princess Anping.

At this time, Jiang Yichen said: "The children's words and deeds, demeanor and demeanor are mostly influenced by their parents and family upbringing, the royal sister is the queen's mother, and she is deeply favored by her father, and she is naturally atmospheric, and Princess Jingshu is influenced by her mother, so her personality is naturally quieter."

Jiang Yicheng nodded in agreement.

After the dance, in the stands, Chen Guifei suddenly held her forehead and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine suddenly felt a little headache."

King Jiang waved his hand and motioned for her to step back.

Chen Guifei got up and blessed the emperor, and retreated with the support of the maid Jinxin.

The queen on the side looked at her, her face was cold, this slut was so impatient, but it was a pity that as the mother of the country, she couldn't be rude to quit the table, and she was the first.

The Queen Mother is also in a very good mood today, and her already good face is even more energetic under the sun. She lovingly called Princess Anping: "Anping, come, sit next to the imperial grandmother."

Princess Anping smiled gently at the imperial grandmother and sat down beside her obediently.

"Anping, the imperial grandmother looks at you, it seems that she has lost some weight again, everything is relaxed, when you are free, come to the imperial grandmother's palace more often, and our ancestors and grandchildren can talk about themselves."

Princess Anping knew that the imperial grandmother was worried about her, afraid that she would indulge in the past, so she comforted her with a smile and said: "Anping is not filial, so that the imperial grandmother is worried, and now Anping can accompany his father and queen mother every day, and fulfill his filial piety for them, and Anping is already satisfied." In the past, Anping was relieved, and asked the imperial grandmother to take care of her health, so as not to hurt her body for Anping. ”

Hearing her say this, the Queen Mother was very pleased: "If you can think like this, the imperial grandmother will be relieved."

Seeing that their grandparents and grandchildren had a good relationship, the queen was in a very comfortable mood and said with a smile: "It is her blessing that Anping can be loved by His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

"Among all my daughters, Anping understands my heart the most and is the most caring, so how can I not love my daughter?" King Jiang saw that the three of them were talking happily with each other, and he was in a better mood, so he couldn't help but praise this daughter.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but joke: "As a father, he always thinks that his children are the best, and the emperor is probably the same kind of psychology at the moment."

King Jiang couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, what the queen mother said."

The queen also smiled and echoed: "Isn't it the same for the queen mother to Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother looked at King Jiang lovingly and said, "Yes, the emperor is filial, and the mourning family can live with peace of mind."

In the stands, everyone was happy and enjoying their families, under the stands, after Chen Guifei went down, she signaled to Jinxin's eyes, Jinxin understood, and after the concubine left, she quietly came to Yang Jinghe's side, bowed her head and whispered, Yang Jinghe hesitated slightly, and then went with her.

Jiang Yicheng motioned to the sixth brother to look at the other side: "The concubine has already started to act."

Jiang Yichen naturally saw it, this was expected, he was not shocked, and said to Cheng Qingyue: "Yue'er, it's spring now, the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, and the scenery is very good, why don't we go for a walk."

"Hmm!" Cheng Qingyue originally felt that this kind of occasion was very boring, and Jiang Yichen's proposal was exactly what she wanted, so the two got up and left the table.

When I arrived at the Imperial Garden, Cheng Qingyue knew what the Royal Garden was, and sure enough, whether it was the size of the garden or the layout structure, it was incomparable to the ordinary official garden, and the garden was full of strange flowers and plants.

When the two walked to a gazebo, they found that there was a woman in brocade clothes in the pavilion who was crying with her head down, and when she saw Cheng Qingyue and the two coming, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and got up to salute.

Cheng Qingyue saw that her eyes were already a little red and swollen from crying, and her already delicate face looked pitiful at this time, very cute, she felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that she had just seen it on the viewing platform, which adult's family should be.

Jiang Yichen asked, "Who are you?" Why are you crying here? ”

Seeing Jiang Yichen asking, the woman was a little cramped and uneasy, "The prince atoned for his sins, the courtier is Zhang Biyun, the daughter of Zhang Huaiqing, who entered the palace with her father to attend the banquet today, not intentionally ruining the fun on this happy day, but in fact, the courtiers remembered some sad past, and couldn't help themselves, and asked the prince to atone for her sins." ”

Jiang Yichen nodded knowingly, "It turned out to be Lord Zhang's daughter, since you understand the importance of today's banquet, you shouldn't cry here, it's good to be seen by this king, if you are seen by others and report to the emperor, I'm afraid Lord Zhang will be implicated because of this." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Biyun hurriedly said: "Thank you for reminding the prince, the courtiers almost made a big mistake and affected their father."

"Well, you know, just step down."

After Zhang Biyun retreated, the two continued to enjoy the flowers, Cheng Qingyue was affected by what happened just now, and Zhang Biyun's crying pear blossom with rain face kept appearing along the way.

Jiang Yichen saw that she was a little absent-minded, and understood that she must be thinking about Zhang Biyun, so he said: "Zhang Huaiqing is Zhang Huaiyan's brother of the same clan, he has several children, I haven't seen that Zhang Biyun just now."

Cheng Qingyue saw that Jiang Yichen didn't know the reason, so she put down the matter and concentrated on accompanying him to enjoy the flowers.
