Gu Mingzhu and everyone bowed to the ground, and they couldn't see the people who came in, they could only hear the brisk footsteps falling on the Persian carpet of weaving flowers, and the skirt passing by.

It wasn't until the crystal bead curtain sounded a crisp collision sound that the eunuch's loud command came: "Get up." The guests got up and returned to their seats.

Guo Yuxiu couldn't wait to look up at the upper seat, the crystal bead curtain was lowered in the upper seat, and a noble lady dressed in a bright yellow phoenix pattern was faintly seen sitting in the middle, but there were several young Langjun sitting on the seat next to him.

Her gaze moved to the side, but her face changed, and she hurriedly lowered her head, and Guo Yulan on the side opened her mouth in surprise: "It's His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The ladies and ladies at the banquet couldn't help but be taken aback, and their faces were different and their hearts were in their hearts.

Gu Mingzhu slowly raised his eyes and glanced at the upper seat, the crown prince Li Hong's face was sluggish, his eyes were vain, half leaning on the table, his eyes were on the female guest seat, and finally landed on a beautiful palace maid who was waiting on the side, with an interesting smile on his face.

His face, which was originally considered handsome, was distorted by that smile, and people couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Looking at a group of ladies and ladies whose faces changed abruptly, Gu Mingzhu smiled lightly, no wonder they were surprised, everyone knew that the prince had been engaged to the eldest lady of the Xuguo Mansion, and there would be a big wedding in October, so no one expected that the prince would come to Qujiang for a banquet, and they would inevitably be suspicious, speculating whether the queen of heaven was planning to choose a side concubine for the East Palace.

Sitting on the table next to the prince were the virtuous king Li Yu and the xian king Li Mi, and the one next to them was dressed in a plain satin robe with a round neck and a silver crown and jade belt, with a slight smile on his fair and delicate face, looking like an ordinary weak Langjun, who was slowly drinking the tea soup in the ou with his head down.

is such an inconspicuous Langjun, but the people sitting at the table can't help but look at him tightly, he is Li Nian, the king of Chen Liu, the former prince who was deposed.

Li Nian was still sitting beside a young Lang Jun, with a wide robe, the high crown on his head was already crooked, and the scattered messy hair could not hide his handsome appearance, there was a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, he patted the case, and laughed loudly: "Such a beautiful thing, how to only drink such tasteless things, it is really boring!" ”

The uninhibited attitude made many people frown, and looked at him with guessing, could it be that this one is Boling Cui Jialangjun? But he is so indulgent in front of the queen mother!

But his handsome and delicate appearance made the young ladies look a little distracted, and the ease in his demeanor not only did not make people think that he was out of shape, but felt that it was his true temperament.

Gu Mingzhu clearly heard a lady behind him and said in a low voice: "This Cui family Langjun is really good-looking, and everyone complains that the Guan Long Cui family is full of dragons and phoenixes." ”

For a while, the people at the banquet were happy and worried, and the joy was that there was actually a Cui family descendant Langjun coming to the Qujiang banquet, and maybe he could also make friends with the scholars, what a glorious thing, but what a glorious thing is that the people are worried that this banquet is not only the two royal highnesses of King Xian and King Xian, but also the prince and King Chen Liu, it is really impossible to guess the thoughts of the queen of heaven, is it difficult to choose relatives for these two?

The prince's identity is precious, he is the prince of the East Palace, but he is lazy in wine, his temperament is rigid and self-serving, he has been canonized as the crown prince since he was a child, and he has not been liked by the saints.

And to marry the king of Chen Liu, it is even more chilling, that is the son of the abolished Chen family, the previous abolished prince, the queen of heaven and the Chen family have long been mortal enemies, I heard that when the Chen family died in prison, it was a curse, swearing that the next life is a cat, the queen of heaven is a mouse, the world is born to eat its meat, since then there will be no cats in the Taiji Palace.

If you marry your own lady to King Chen Liuwang as the princess, I am afraid that it will not be long before you will be convicted with King Chen Liu, and the whole family will be implicated, who would dare to take the risk of exterminating the clan to get married?

The ladies and ladies sitting on the table were sitting on pins and needles for a while, bowing their heads uncertainly, thinking about countermeasures.

"Since it's a spring exploration banquet, there is no need to be so restrained," behind the crystal bead curtain, a soft and calm voice came out, "Choose two of the new science and technology scholars to be flower explorers, and go to explore the spring for us." ”

The eunuch respectfully responded, and when he arrived at the new branch jinshi seat, he gave a few orders, and two of the more than ten new branch jinshi officials came out to be the flower explorer, and Zheng Yu was also inside.

He is the youngest and most handsome Jinshilang official, and he has been a flower explorer, so he is naturally the focus of attention, many young ladies frequently pay attention, looking at him with a hint of shyness, and Guo Yulan also keeps looking at him.

Gu Mingzhu sat on the side and saw clearly, smiled lightly, lowered his head and drank himself. Although Guo Taishi is highly respected and is an important minister of the first emperor, he is old after all, and there are no outstanding people among the children of the Guo family, so it is inevitable that the successor will be weak, so the marriage of these concubines should be carefully planned.

Guo Yuxiu is the same as Gu Mingzhu at the beginning, and she belongs to the virtuous king Li Yu, so she will target Gu Mingzhu everywhere, just to get rid of an opponent, and Guo Yulan is only afraid that Zheng Yu's handsome appearance will be meaningful.

It's a pity that everything may not be as you wish. The smile on Gu Mingzhu's lips slowly faded.

"Looking at these ladies, I remembered that when I was still in Qingzhou Mansion, I was the same age as them," the voice of the queen of heaven after the bead curtain was low and tactful, with a slight smile, "It's been decades in the blink of an eye, and even Anping is the same age as them." ”

There was a bit of exclamation in her tone, like an ordinary woman who had reached some age lamenting that time flies, not at all like the noble lady who stood tall and stood side by side with a saint.

Second Mrs. Guo often entered the palace to meet Guo Guifei in the past, and saw the queen of heaven a lot of times, at this time she was full of laughter and catered to her: "Niangniang is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, even if there are three highnesses and Princess Anping, it is still like a flower." ”

Such superficial and straightforward flattery made the queen mother behind the bead curtain laugh: "I know you are making me happy." Her eyes looked through the beaded curtain, as if she asked casually, "I heard that Xuanyang's daughter is also here?" ”
