Chapter 292: Shangyuan Festival Night Banquet
Since she was a child, this princess has been a troublemaker, and now she is making trouble with her, but she has caused trouble in Xichu.
There is no protection from her father here, so unrestrained, why is it so difficult for her to go back alive?
The envoy was shocked and full of anger, no one dared to express his anger, and he gave a letter of guarantee to the emperor aggrievedly, and left with Princess Qingluan, who was so angry that her eyes were red.
Previously, Princess Qingluan saw that the emperor was angry, but she didn't dare to speak. But when she got out of the temple gate, she raised her hand and slapped the envoy.
"It's all your uselessness, causing Princess Ben to be humiliated!"
Seeing her temper explode, the envoy didn't dare to attack, and made a note to Princess Qingluan in his heart, and he had to coax her out of the palace on his face.
Just kidding, making a fuss here, does that sound like a word?
It's at stake, so I have to go back and tell Princess Qingluan!
......
The people in the room left in a mess, but the emperor's doubts could not be dispelled.
After the hall was quiet, the emperor asked, "Duke Dingguo, why did King Anling go to your restaurant?"
In his opinion, husband and wife are one, and the restaurant of the Duchess of Dingguo, the biggest proprietor behind it, is not ashamed of the Duke of Dingguo.
Hearing this, Dingguo Gong knew that he couldn't hide, but fortunately, he had already understood the matter clearly, so he heard the emperor's inquiry at this time, but he didn't hide it, and told the matter in detail, and finally said: "This matter is also a disaster for King Anling." β
After hearing this, the emperor was noncommittal, and only waved his hand to let Dingguo Gong go.
It's just that after that, he asked people to investigate again.
He didn't believe that a person could get out of bed and walk back and forth when he was sober, and he actually went to a restaurant? Could it be that Gu Qingchi was lying to himself?
However, the news from the iron guard made him feel a little relieved.
It is said that King Anling woke up that night, and his body was not very good, but he couldn't stand the princess's obsession, so the two went out. And after King Anling went back, due to the cold outside, he was still lying in bed, and his sickness seemed to be a little heavier.
Not only did these news reach the emperor, but the movements in the palace naturally also reached Gu Qingchi.
After he learned about it, he didn't do anything, just released some true and false news, coupled with the temptation of the imperial doctor, which finally made the emperor gradually put his mind at ease.
Because he was afraid that Shi Miaoyu would be worried, Gu Qingchi didn't tell her these things.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the ink color shrouded the small room, making Gu Qingchi's face a little more condensed.
After that day, he asked people to keep an eye on Princess Qingluan and not let her make any more trouble. However, according to the news from the spies, the princess sent a few splashes, but it didn't work, and then she was a little more safe.
Therefore, the banquet the day after tomorrow should be fine.
But he has lived so long that he has to think twice about everything, and although everything is normal now, it is difficult to guarantee that Princess Qingluan will go crazy. Regarding entering the palace the day after tomorrow, he was still a little worried about Shi Miaoyu.
In this regard, Shi Miaoyu was undecided, she glanced at the dark sky outside, and said, "Is the prince hungry? β
Hearing this, Gu Qingchi came back to his senses and nodded, "It's okay." β
That's it, no matter what, he will protect Shi Miaoyu and not let others bully her.
Your own woman is protected by herself.
And she just needs to stay carefree now.
He resisted the wind and rain, and she appreciated the scenery.
......
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a lantern festival at night, which is very lively.
Originally, Shi Miaoyu was going to go out with Gu Qingchi to see the lanterns, after all, last year's guessing lantern riddles, Shi Miaoyu had a very clear understanding of Gu Qingchi's talent, and naturally wanted to go with him openly this year.
However, the plan was disrupted.
The palace was going to hold a banquet, and the envoys of the Northern Desert were still invited. It stands to reason that it will not be his turn to go, but this time, because it is the Shangyuan Festival, the queen also wants to join in the fun together, so she asked the ladies to come to the palace together.
Shi Miaoyu had no reason to refuse, so she could only give up the Lantern Festival and enter the palace with Gu Qingchi.
Although he had gotten the news a long time ago, on this day, seeing the lively appearance that had already begun on the street, Shi Miaoyu couldn't help but sigh.
It was only afternoon, and the street vendors were setting up, and only a prototype could be seen.
However, it is very vivid when you look at it, and you can imagine how lively it is at night.
Missing such a beautiful scenery and socializing with a group of people you don't like is simply the most annoying thing in life.
But no matter how annoying she is, she can't help it.
Even if it was for Gu Qingchi, she had to go.
Hearing her sigh, Gu Qingchi touched her head lovingly, and said softly: "If you don't want to go, then you won't go." β
In previous years, it was not without such a thing, but he was not afraid of offending the emperor.
After all, the emperor's favorite thing is to maintain his image as a good brother, and constantly refresh the courtiers' favor of him by his own affairs.
At the same time, it also raises the degree to which it is annoying.
In this regard, Gu Qingchi has long been used to it, so he doesn't feel anything, but Shi Miaoyu shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay to just be at home, it's okay for us to go lively." β
Seeing Shi Miaoyu's insistence, Gu Qingchi actually vaguely knew why in his heart, and his distress for her was even more painful, and he said softly: "If you are embarrassed, tell this king." β
Tonight's banquet was held in two places, the ladies were on the queen's side, and the courtiers were on the emperor's side.
However, it is not far away, one is in Lin Chunyuan, the other is in Shenghui Palace, through a corridor, and then turn a corner.
Seeing Gu Qingchi's nervous appearance, Shi Miaoyu was in a relaxed mood, and her previous emotions also dissipated a little, because she said solemnly: "Okay, the concubine has written it down." β
When she said this, she was a little worried: "But you, Lord Wang, you must not take my words as a deaf ear." Those medicines can be taken before eating, and they can detoxify all kinds of poisons. β
It was a medicine she had specially configured, in case the emperor wanted to use any means. It's just that the effect of the medicine is short, and it can only last for half an hour. So Shi Miaoyu made a few more pills for Gu Qingchi and asked him to take them before eating.
This maximizes the efficacy of the drug and ensures that the dosage is sufficient.
Seeing Shi Miaoyu's worried face, he hated to follow his appearance of being personally identified in the past, Gu Qingchi spontaneously felt a joy of being protected.
He nodded and smiled: "Okay, this king has also written it down." β
As he spoke, Gu Qingchi stretched out his hand again, hugged Shi Miaoyu in his arms, lowered his head and kissed him.
He thought that it must be heaven that saw that he was lonely for half his life, so he sent Shi Miaoyu to his side.
......
Because it was still early, Shi Miaoyu and Gu Qingchi went to the queen's Fengyi Palace first after they were separated from each other in the palace.
As for Lin Chunyuan, he didn't go until before the dinner began.
Xue Lingyao and Jiang Yuyan are still following her, according to the rules of the palace, neither of them is qualified to bring people, only Shi Miaoyu brought Chu Xue alone.
It's not because Shi Miaoyu prefers her, it's just because Chu Xue knows martial arts and is also alert.
Her identity is different from what she used to be, and she is no longer the little transparent who is not noticed. When there are more people who want to murder, the danger of the people around them will increase, and at the same time, they will also become the handle of others against themselves.
So Shi Miaoyu can't bet.
This point, Green Branch and Caihe are both clear, not only did the two have no complaints, but also actively instructed Chu Xue, hating to give Chu Xue everything she knew, so that she could better serve the good lady in the palace.
Seeing their appearance, Shi Miaoyu was still a little funny at the time, and it was mixed with emotion.
She knew that these two people were used to serving her, for fear that she would be wronged a little.
At this time, Chu Xue, who was following Shi Miaoyu, was even more cautious. She has a heavy burden on her, for fear that she will make a mistake and bring trouble to the princess.
On the contrary, when Shi Miaoyu saw her like this, she patted her hand without a trace, and calmed her nervousness with her eyes.
Chu Xue took a deep breath and smiled at Shi Miaoyu.
Xue Lingyao saw it inadvertently, and said with a smile as she walked: "This maid is loyal, speaking of which, the princess will be the best person, look at the maid next to you, not only is she alive, but she is also quick to do things, no wonder she is favored." β
Don't think she doesn't know, this Shi Miaoyu's scheming is extraordinarily deep. What is this maid for, the marrying maid is the maid in the room. And the maids Shi Miaoyu is looking for, although their hands and feet are nimble, they are all the kind of ones that are not very good-looking, to put it bluntly, don't you just don't want them to sleep.
Such a jealous woman, thanks to the prince's love for her so much!
As soon as she thought of this, Xue Lingyao was a little panicked.
Since she last went back to the palace, her perception of herself has been skewed. Those glory and wealth made her heart itch, and for Gu Qingchi, she rekindled her interest.
In fact, Xue Lingyao thought very simply, men, after all, it is a faΓ§ade for themselves to earn wealth. What's wrong with a bad temper? Her father still beats people!
At least this King Anling looked at the scolding fiercely, and he didn't move a finger of himself, right?
Isn't it just to coax a man, she just thinks it's a pile of silver, what's there to bear?
At that time, when she understands the temper of King Anling, has a son, and has a firm foothold in the house, what do you still want?
Xue Lingyao figured these things out, so she made up her mind to coax Shi Miaoyu first.
It's best to coax Shi Miaoyu to be defenseless against herself, so that she can deal with her at that time!
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu only smiled faintly and said, "The side concubine is not far behind." β
Xue Lingyao thought that anyone would say something nice about it in the face of praise.
After all, don't reach out and hit the smiling person.
But when it came to Shi Miaoyu, how did it change?
She tried hard to praise for a long time, but for her words, Shi Miaoyu replied with these words!
Xue Lingyao was a little uncomfortable at the moment, and wanted to speak again, but she heard Jiang Yuyan next to her sneer.
"What are you laughing at?"
Xue Lingyao suddenly turned her head and glared back at Jiang Yuyan.
"Fengyi Palace has arrived. β
Regarding Xue Lingyao's questioning, Jiang Yuyan only said this, then bowed down and stood aside, waiting for Shi Miaoyu to go in first.
This idiot was still thinking about how to seduce Gu Qingchi, but Jiang Yuyan already disdained it.
She thinks clearly and does things decisively. If you don't compete with Shi Miaoyu for a man, then Shi Miaoyu will not be your opponent. However, it will be beneficial for her to win over Shi Miaoyu's favor appropriately in the future.
At least, before boarding the prince's ship, she still needs to be in the Anling Mansion for a long time.
But it doesn't matter, what she has is patience.
Seeing Jiang Yuyan's appearance, Xue Lingyao gritted her teeth more and more angrily, but Shi Miaoyu didn't bother to pay attention to the eye relationship between the two, and walked in.
Anyway, these two people also pinch from time to time when they are in the house, as long as they don't fight Gu Qingchi's idea and don't make too much trouble, then they can be regarded as not seeing.
It's just that this is obviously impossible, not to mention others, Xue Lingyao has been plotting from time to time to get close to Gu Qingchi in the past few days.
Although, she never succeeded once.
