Gu Mingzhu got up from the seat and went to the hall to bow down: "I've seen the queen of heaven." "The demeanor is down-to-earth and uninhibited.

The eyes of everyone at the banquet couldn't help but fall on her, just because the reputation of the eldest princess of Xuanyang is too great, even if she has been immortal for many years, people still mention it from time to time.

Behind the crystal curtain gave a low command, the eunuch stepped forward and opened the crystal bead curtain, and the middle-aged glamorous lady dressed in a bright yellow tuanfeng Zhai dress and combed a high bun on the golden silk jade mat behind the curtain looked at Gu Mingzhu.

I saw that the young lady who fell down in the hall was dressed in an ordinary dress, her thick covered hair covered most of her face, her sallow face had no luster at all, her facial features were still beautiful, only the eyes were extraordinarily transparent and luster, black and white were clearly looking at people's hearts.

She raised her eyebrows for a moment, a little surprised: "Are you ...... Gu's pearl? "Xuanyang's daughter is like this? It's hard to believe it.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the queen calmly: "The courtier is the Gu family's Mingzhu." ”

Originally, I heard that it was the daughter of the eldest princess of Xuanyang, the prince sat up straight, and his eyes fell on Gu Mingzhu who was out of the seat in an instant, and he couldn't help but glance up and down, wanting to take a closer look at her appearance, but after seeing Gu Mingzhu's appearance clearly, the prince suddenly stretched his face and leaned back in disappointment.

Although he couldn't remember the appearance of the eldest princess of Xuanyang, he had already heard that she was the first beauty in Chang'an, and even her mother couldn't compare to her appearance, but why her daughter was so ordinary, it really disappointed him.

He looked away with interest, and glanced at the brightly dressed and delicate ladies on the table.

The queen of heaven showed a faint smile and nodded: "In the past, your mother, Princess Xuanyang, and I were also old acquaintances, and we often talked in one place in the palace, and I haven't seen you for all these years since she left, so I asked." ”

She said and nodded towards Gu Mingzhu: "Go back to the table, I still have some old things that your mother liked back then, and I will send them to you later." The tone was kind, just like an ordinary elder.

Gu Mingzhu's heart was light, and she forcibly suppressed the joy on her face, raised her hand and bowed down: "The courtiers thank the queen of heaven for her kindness." After getting up, he slowly retreated to his seat and sat down.

Her face was calm and calm, but she clearly heard the heartbeat in her chest, and a thin layer of sweat appeared in her palms. Finally, this time, it was not the queen of heaven who asked her about her birthday, and she didn't teach the female official behind her to write down her year.

She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the prince on the table, and sure enough, his gaze was not on herself, but on the two Guo family sisters who were outstandingly dressed on the side.

It's just that she didn't notice that Li Yu, the virtuous king sitting on the couch next to the prince, was looking at her intently, he was very curious, this little lady was clearly not this look, why did she dress herself up like this at the Qujiang banquet, was she unwilling to be married? Obviously, the queen mother deliberately asked about her, just to see if she was suitable, but she seemed to know it for a long time, which was really strange.

Gu Mingzhu didn't notice Li Yu's scrutiny, she lowered her head and exhaled softly, finally avoiding it for a while, although she also knew that because of the Hussar General's Mansion, the Queen of Heaven might not be willing to give up so easily, she had to be careful.

The queen of heaven had already asked about the arrival of the ladies of Beppu, and one by one the ladies came forward with a red face and a worried and secretly expectant curtsy.

The two sisters of the Guo family also stepped forward to salute, and the queen of heaven asked a few words with a smile, and then asked them to retreat, but Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingyu asked a few more words when they stepped forward, and even praised Gu Mingyue for knowing books and etiquette, and asked her what her preferences were in the house on weekdays, Gu Mingyue replied generously with a slightly red face.

Luo looked at it and suddenly rejoiced, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were smiles that could not be hidden.

Such a love for the Gu family taught Second Mrs. Guo's face to be much more ugly, she sat on the table with a calm face and looked at the Gu family's mother and daughter coldly, without hiding her anger. She knew in her heart that the Queen of Heaven Niangniang was so partial to the Gu family, it was nothing more than because of the hussar general Gu Qing, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses in the northwest in his hands, if they could marry the Gu family's lady, they would naturally get a big boost.

Although the Guo family now seems to be on par with the Gu family, and Guo Taishi and General Gu are also evenly matched in the court, but Guo Taishi is old after all, and his body is not as good as before.

But she can't just watch the Gu family get married and marry into the royal family again, the Guo family must think of a royal marriage to have hope to support it.

Second Mrs. Guo's face was gloomy, and she turned her head to look at the little maid who was waiting behind her, the little maid bent her knees and retreated silently, but she walked behind Guo Yuxiu and stood still.

The young ladies saluted one by one according to the call, and everyone's eyes fell on them, either looking or guessing, all of them were speculating on the thoughts of the queen of heaven, guessing who she would choose for the two highnesses.

Only two of them didn't seem to have any interest in this matter, and they didn't look at this group of restless little ladies.

Cui Yi was half lying down and half sitting on the couch, leaning on the desk with his head in one hand, pinching the wine cup in the other hand, taking a sip of wine, frowning and saying to Li Nian, the king of Chen Liu, who was sitting uprightly: "Is it difficult for you to return to Chang'an to set a family business?" ”

Li Nianqing's face smiled warmly: "It's to offer a birthday gift to the saint." ”

Cui Yi smiled slightly mockingly: "Chen Liu is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, you haven't come back for your birthday all these years, but this year you have to offer a birthday gift." He glanced at the queen who was asking gently, and then looked at Li Nian, "She summoned you back to Chang'an?" ”

Li Nian's smile remained unchanged: "It's my filial piety, and I want to go back to Chang'an to celebrate the birthday of the saint and the queen of heaven." ”

Cui Yi brushed away the strands of hair hanging down on his forehead, frowned and took another sip of wine: "I knew you would say that, it's really boring!" He raised the dried wine cup, filled it with the palace maid, and complained: "You should let the fifth brother come to Chang'an with you, you and him are in a contract, they are all so boring." ”

When Li Nian heard this, the smile on his face spread: "Is Wulang okay?" I haven't seen him for a long time, why hasn't he come to Chang'an this time? ”

Cui Yi scratched his head and said in a rough voice: "How do I know where he went, he has always been the only one who has restrained me, this time those old guys have to let me come with you, if it weren't for the fact that Chang'an was a little lively, who would be impatient to be your guy's follower." His manner of speaking was very different from his handsome appearance.

Li Nian smiled and toasted him with a glass of wine, and thanked him in a low voice.

Gu Mingzhu didn't look at the queen of heaven over there, but looked at these two people from a distance, frowned, and remembered a rumor she had heard in her memory, the Chen family, the mother family of Queen Chen, was a branch of the Longxi Chen clan of the Guanlong Shi clan, so Li Nian can be regarded as a scholar clan, and the Cui family's descendant Langjun came to Chang'an with Li Nian, does it mean that the Guan Long Shi clan will interfere in the affairs of the court again?

Her mind raced to figure out the connection.

"Lady," Abi approached her and whispered in some panic, "that purse is missing......
