Chapter 143: Celebration Banquet

Regarding what Ye Shuyun said about what happened on the way to Nanyang City, Fang Yingqiao listened to it with relish.

Although she was pampered, fate destined her to be trapped in the capital for the rest of her life, and sometimes, she would yearn for the sky outside.

The two chatted for a while, and the palace people came to Chu Xuanting. As soon as he finished speaking, heavy footsteps were heard outside.

Ye Shuyun raised his eyes and saw a handsome and tall figure walking outside, it was Chu Xuanting.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." Chu Xuanting bowed.

The moment she saw Chu Xuanting, the smile on the corners of Fang Yingqiao's eyebrows and eyes was about to overflow, and she hurriedly said, "Ting'er, get up quickly." ”

Chu Xuanting got up, his eyes unintentionally swept over Ye Shuyun next to him, and the eyes of the two were staggered in mid-air, but they quickly staggered with a tacit understanding.

After Chu Xuanting sat down, Fang Yingqiao asked with concern, "Ting'er, how are things going in Nanyang City?" ”

Chu Xuanting replied: "Nanyang City has settled down, and the corpses have also been suppressed, and they will all be eliminated after a while, and then things will be almost the same." ”

He had already reported these situations yesterday when he was in the main hall, but yesterday the time was in a hurry, and Chu Xuanting hadn't had time to visit Fang Yingqiao in the harem.

Speaking of which, after Chu Xuanting left for Nanyang City, Fang Yingqiao saw him for the first time today.

"That's good." Fang Yingqiao breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "It's just the poor people who have become corpses. ”

Although she is in the deep palace, as a child of Nanchu and the queen of Nanchu now, she naturally cares about the people.

The matter of corpses is in an uproar, and the people's families are ruined and they can't be at peace, and it is so sad to see their relatives become monsters.

Chu Xuanting and Ye Shuyun didn't speak, they had seen the corpses with their own eyes, and those corpses themselves were innocent, and it was Ji Rufei and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect that were at fault, the initiators of this rebellion.

It's just that now, Ji Rufei is dead, and although the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has been destroyed, Nanqiong and the goddess have fled. Although there were some regrets, Chu Xuanting was still quite satisfied with this result, and the imperial court was even more satisfied.

I cared about Chu Xuanting for a while, talked to the two of them for a while, and after noon, Fang Yingqiao let the husband and wife leave.

In front of Fang Yingqiao, Ye Shuyun tried his best to pretend to be in love with Chu Xuanting. After walking out of Kunning Palace, the hand that was originally hooking Chu Xuanting's arm quietly let go.

Chu Xuanting felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but for the sake of face, he didn't say anything.

On the way out of the palace, Ye Shuyun refused the step arranged by Fang Yingqiao and walked towards the palace gate on foot. Chu Xuanting followed behind Ye Shuyun, and the two were speechless all the way.

There are still corpses in solving the Nanyang Rebellion, Chu Xuanting has made a great contribution, and the emperor will definitely reward him for his victory this time.

From Fang Yingqiao, Ye Shuyun knew that three days later, a celebration banquet would be held in the palace to clean up the dust for Chu Xuanting.

Since returning to the capital, Ye Shuyun has rarely gone out, and Chu Xuanting has always been busy and can't see it, and Ye Shuyun doesn't care.

On the afternoon of the third day, Ye Shuyun was dressed neatly, and under Zhuxiu's skillful dress, although his appearance was not beautiful, it was amazing enough.

"Today is the prince's celebration banquet, the prince and the princess must be the focus of everyone's attention, but we can't let those daughters compare." Xiao Qiu said with a smile on his hand holding a jewelry plate.

Ye Shuyun said lightly: "People are people, I am me, what do I do with them." ”

Xiao Qiu understood what she said, and continued: "That's right, the princess's status is noble, and it must not be comparable to them. ”

Ye Shuyun frowned slightly, although she didn't mean that, she didn't open her mouth to explain anything.

Ye Shuyun had just dressed up when he heard a report from the maid outside that the subordinates in Chu Xuan's courtyard asked to see him.

Ye Shuyun said lightly: "Let him come in." ”

Soon, a small servant walked into the room, and Ye Shuyun recognized him as serving by Chu Xuanting's side.

"Back to the princess, the princess has already entered the palace in the afternoon, let the little one tell the princess that the princess will be invited to go alone for the celebration banquet in the evening." The little guy lowered his head and said, not daring to look at Ye Shuyun.

Zhu Xiu, who was behind Ye Shuyun, heard this, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. There was silence in the room for a few seconds before Ye Shuyun said slowly: "I know, go down." ”

Ye Shuyun's voice was faint, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger inside.

"Yes." The little guy breathed a sigh of relief and nodded away.

After the little servant left, Zhuxiu said angrily: "Why is the prince like this, today's celebration banquet was originally supposed to be for the prince and the princess to enter the palace together, if other ministers saw it, what would they think." ”

Ye Shuyun didn't think so, shouldn't this be Chu Xuanting's style of doing things? When she found out that she didn't care so much about Chu Xuanting anymore, Ye Shuyun didn't care so much about this.

"He's already in the palace, can I still go and pull him back? He is the prince, he can do whatever he wants. Ye Shuyun didn't care.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Zhuxiu looked at Ye Shuyun in some surprise.

If it was Ye Shuyun before, he would definitely be very angry, and then scold Chu Xuanting. Although this sounds incredible, this is what Ye Shuyun can do, so if Ye Shuyun really does this, Zhuxiu will not have the slightest suspicion.

But now, Ye Shuyun seems to have become indifferent to anything, and his mood swings are getting smaller and smaller.

If he didn't know Ye Shuyun too well, Zhuxiu would definitely think that this was not Ye Shuyun at all, but someone pretended to be him.

But the fact is that Ye Shuyun is still the same Ye Shuyun, but he is no longer the Ye Shuyun he used to be.

Zhuxiu didn't know what happened during that time in Nanyang City that made her family have such a big change.

Ye Shuyun shook his head and took off a hairpin on his head, "It's nothing, take this off, it's too heavy." ”

Zhuxiu knew that Ye Shuyun didn't like complicated things very much, but today was Chu Xuanting's celebration banquet, so Zhuxiu dressed Ye Shuyun more beautifully.

According to Ye Shuyun's request, Zhuxiu removed the extra hairpin on Ye Shuyun's head. After a few other hairpins, Ye Shuyun was a little less bright, but a little more solemn, without losing the identity of the princess.

The carriage was already waiting outside the palace, and Xiaoqiu and Zhuxiu followed behind Ye Shuyun and got into the carriage together.

Xiaoqiu was coming to the capital for the first time, and it was also the first time to enter the palace, and she looked a little nervous, but she was a little excited.

When Ye Shuyun's carriage arrived outside the palace, it was neither early nor late, and many carriages had already stopped outside the palace.

The carriage of the Prince's Mansion was given by the emperor, and it was particularly conspicuous among the carriages, so when Ye Shuyun arrived, many people's eyes were cast.

Especially some young ladies, when they set their eyes on the carriage again, their eyes revealed a touch of their daughter's shyness, and they immediately turned their eyes away, as if they were intentionally or unintentionally revealing their best side.

When Ye Shuyun got off the carriage, he felt the gaze cast around him, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The people around were slightly stunned when they saw that it was Ye Shuyun who got down from the carriage first.

After Ye Shuyun came down, two more maids came down from the carriage, and then the curtain of the carriage stopped moving.

What's going on? What about Prince Chu?

Everyone was puzzled, especially the young ladies who were scratching their heads and making gestures, and when they saw that there was no Chu Xuanting in the carriage at all, they were all deflated.

It's just that everyone turned to Ye Shuyun with a little exploration and disdain in their eyes. Ye Shuyun and Chu Xuanting were not worthy in the first place, and it was rumored that the relationship between the husband and wife was not very good.

Now it seems that the rumors are true, the relationship between Prince Chu and the princess is indeed not very good, otherwise Princess Chu would not enter the palace alone.

The gaze cast around made Zhuxiu indignant, "Princess, what kind of eyes do you look at these people." ”

That look was as if Ye Shuyun was an abandoned woman.

"No matter what they do, we do our part."

As early as when she knew that Chu Xuanting had entered the palace in advance, she had already guessed the current situation, and there was nothing to be angry about.

Ye Shuyun walked straight towards the palace gate, ignoring the strange eyes around him.

Outside the palace gate, several familiar ladies gathered together.

One of them asked curiously: "In this celebration banquet, the emperor asked all the adults above the fourth rank to bring their families to participate, what do you mean?" ”

This time, the emperor issued a holy decree, and all the adults above the fourth rank can bring their families to participate in the celebration banquet.

"What else could it mean?" The lady of the household servant next to her had a gleam in her eyes and said, "Prince Chu returned triumphantly this time and made such a great contribution. Among the remaining princes and princes, only Prince Chu is qualified to sit in that seat. ”

"The merit is there, the prestige is there, if there is another heir, then isn't the position of the crown prince justified?"

Mrs. Qin, the head of the household department, said, and sighed again: "But now, Prince Chu and the princess have been married for so long, and the princess has not had a happy event so far, and the emperor and queen should be in a hurry." ”

"I heard that the emperor intends to choose a concubine for Prince Chu at this celebration banquet."

There were many noble ladies gathered around, and after hearing Mrs. Qin's words, their eyes burst out with strange looks, and they asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing?" ”

Mrs. Qin said: "This is still the news that my lord got from the father-in-law in the palace, and I don't know if it's accurate, but I guess it's eighty percent true." ”

When the other ladies and ladies heard this, their hearts jumped.

Among the several princes today, Prince Chu has the highest reputation and the strongest ability, and his mother is still the queen of the lord of the harem. Prince Chu becoming the Prince of Chu is already an ironclad thing.

If they can marry Prince Chu, even if it is just a side concubine, after King Chu Qing ascends the throne, if any of them can't be queens, how can they also be the fourth concubines, it will be much better than ordinary official wives.

What's more, Chu Xuanting itself is extremely charming.
