Concubine Rong's life should not be easy. Gu Wanyin knows this. However, for Concubine Rong, she really didn't have much of a good impression.

Seeing that the time for the banquet has arrived, there are also many empty seats, but it is normal, and this is the case at this time in previous years. Those who don't want to enter the palace, or those who are sick, will not come on leave. But this year, it seems that there are a lot of people?

Princess Qin and Concubine Qin were the last to come. The three of them entered the door together, the concubine of King Qin walked in the front, Zhou Yuyan was half a step behind, and the other was holding Princess Qin with low eyebrows.

Gu Wanyin glanced at Zhou Yuyan's waist. The clothes were a little loose, so I couldn't see anything—and the days were short, and I didn't show my feelings yet. However, it can also be seen that Zhou Yuyan's walking posture is not quite the same as others.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Gu Wanyin only felt that Zhou Yuyan seemed to have lost a lot of weight, did she have a ...... After applying the fat powder, I can't see it. However, after taking a look at her face, Gu Wanyin was sure that she had indeed lost weight - her face was a little smaller, and her chin was pointed.

Zhou Yuyan naturally saw Gu Wanyin, and even the eyes of the two were still in the same place, but Zhou Yuyan directly staggered her gaze as if she hadn't seen it, and only saluted Duan Guifei, and sat down with Princess Qin.

After Princess Qin sat down, Concubine Duan announced the start of the banquet. It's still the same as usual.

It's just that before the dishes were ready, a eunuch rushed in from outside with a scroll of holy decrees, and at the same time shouted in a long voice: "The holy decree has arrived." ”

Including Duan Guifei among them, everyone got up and knelt down slowly. Duan Guifei knelt at the front, her skirt spread out behind her, like a gorgeous phoenix tail, and like a blooming peony, bright and dazzling, with a gorgeous crown. And Princess Qin and Zhou Yufei knelt behind Duan Guifei. One left and one right, one step behind. But it is obviously different, Princess Jin is closer to Duan Guifei, and it looks a little more close. And Princess Qin......

Seeing the bright yellow holy decree in the eunuch's hand slowly opened, Gu Wanyin couldn't help but clench her fingers. Not only her, but many of those present, too. Approximately, even Duan Guifei is afraid that she is also nervous at this time, right? This volume of the Divine Decree. How many people's lives and net worth are involved? How many people are looking forward to it? How many hearts can be calmed down?

Gu Wanyin thought chaotically, her mind was messy like a silk thread that had just been disturbed, and she didn't know what was right.

But these emotions were in the eunuch's beginning to read the decree. But it was inexplicably calmed down. Not only the thoughts, but also the state of mind, and even the breath seemed to be still; In the huge hall, there was not even a sound to be heard, not even the sound of breathing. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of the eunuch reading the decree and the sound of the wind outside blowing through the treetops and rooftops.

The decree is very long, and many of the obscure words in it are too ornate to be written. Gu Wanyin didn't remember any of them. I only remembered two sentences - the first sentence was, the noble concubine Duan, canonized as the queen. The second sentence is that the sixth son of the emperor is the king of Jin and established as the crown prince.

When she heard these two words, Gu Wanyin only felt that her heart suddenly slipped back into her stomach. A piece of tranquility.

Duan Guifei bowed down, but there was not much joy in her voice. It sounds like a normal day, but if you really discern it carefully, it is not difficult to hear a slight tremor in it. "The concubine is the order, thank you Lord Longen." On the one hand, he thanked him, but on the other hand, he held his hands high, just holding the holy decree handed over by the eunuch. Then Duan Guifei got up, and when she looked at it again, it seemed that Duan Guifei was completely different from before. It seems that Duan Guifei has completed the transformation between the concubine and the queen all of a sudden. The concubine and the queen are different. Chaise. She was the emperor's favorite concubine. But the queen is different, the queen wants to be the mother of the world, and she is the mother of the subjects of the world. He is the only person who can stand side by side with the emperor. can also be in charge of the harem justifiably, and even, intervene in the government - naturally this is not allowed if it is not a special circumstance.

So Gu Wanyin followed everyone. knelt on the ground and didn't get up, and bowed directly to Duan Guifei - no, Queen Duan: "The queen is auspicious." ”

Empress Duan turned around and looked at the people prostrate on the ground, the corners of her lips curled into a smile, dignified and kind, but with a hint of majesty that could not be offended: "Flat." ”

Gu Wanyin was a little distracted, did Queen Duan secretly practice this scene? It's just two words, but it really sounds very different from ordinary days. That indescribable feeling makes people feel a little trance. It's like you're in a dream.

Then Queen Duan stretched out her hand, helped Zhou Yufei up, and called with a light smile; "The crown princess."

Gu Wanyin woke up suddenly, surprised and happy, and there was an indescribable sadness - yes, Zhou Yufei will be the crown princess in the future. If nothing else, it will be the future queen. And at that time, Empress Duan will become Empress Dowager Duan. This kind of situation is not far off, right? The current situation in the Holy Heavens is not optimistic.

Everyone prostrated again: "The crown princess is auspicious." ”

"No courtesy." Zhou Yufei's voice came from above his head, with a crisp tone, not as majestic and dignified as Queen Duan, but also warm.

Gu Wanyin knelt not far behind Zhou Yufei, lowered her head and saw Zhou Yushou walking in front of her, and then felt that she was being helped, and she was really helped. Gu Wanyin's heart softened, raised her head, looked at Zhou Yushou's face and expression as usual, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Zhou Yufei also smiled.

Then Gu Wanyin subconsciously glanced sideways at Princess Qin. Princess Qin slowly stood up from the ground, the expression on her face was very calm, a little calm and almost indifferent. So at this moment, Princess Qin's whole person looked mechanical and sluggish, not like a living person, she was like a marionette in gorgeous clothes, indescribably weird.

I don't know what is in Princess Qin's mind at this moment? Is it incredulous, or is it desperate? Or did you just not come back to your senses?

Gu Wanyin couldn't guess, but slowly exhaled a breath. Such a thing is destined to make some people happy and some sad. She didn't sympathize with Princess Qin. In other words, if it is King Jin today, it shouldn't be that the crown prince is defeated, she is about the same as Princess Qin at this time, right?

Queen Duan spoke up again: "Everyone sit down, today is the Lantern Festival, you should have a good time;." ”

So everyone sat down again.

Zhou Yufei picked up a glass of wine, raised it towards Queen Duan, and said with a smile: "A glass of respect for the mother." ”

So everyone picked up their wine glasses and said to Queen Duan in unison: "The concubine respects the queen's mother." ”

Empress Duan smiled and picked up the wine glass, toasted a glass below, and then drank all the wine in the cup.

Queen Duan drank it all, and the others were naturally no exception. Gu Wanyin covered her lips with a handkerchief, and then drank the wine dry. The wine is made of fine osmanthus, and the liquor is a light crimson color, like the color of osmanthus, and like a ...... Soaked in blood. Osmanthus is very sweet, with a hint of wine aroma. The wine was already cold, and after entering the throat, it slowly fell from the throat into the stomach like a thread of ice. People can't help but be excited.

Wine is fine, but eating Gu Wanyin does not dare to move. So before entering the palace, she and Zhou Ruijing both ate some snacks to cushion their stomachs.

The banquet didn't last long and was dispersed in a hurry. Now the situation in the palace is really not suitable for too long. And the body of the saint is probably not going to last long, right? It's just that the reason why the banquet was broken up was not because of this. After Zhou Yufei drank the glass of wine, she suddenly felt unwell, and then Princess Qin took her down to the side hall to change her clothes. Not long after, someone from the palace came to report that they had seen red. I've already asked the Imperial Doctor to come over.

This news was shocking. Gu Wanyin never thought that such a thing would happen. Isn't Zhou Yuyan okay? Although I look a little thinner and haggard, I still have no big problem looking at my body, why is it all of a sudden?

Or did someone do something after entering the palace? Gu Wanyin shuddered slightly. I only felt a trace of coolness slowly rising from behind, enveloping her whole person. She even felt that the glass of wine she had just drunk seemed to burn in her stomach, and she was indescribably uncomfortable. You must know that from the time Zhou Yuyan came in to the time she went out, she only drank a glass of wine. That glass of wine was given to Queen Duan together.

Gu Wanyin glanced up at Queen Duan. Empress Duan raised her brows slightly, and she had already stood up, as if she had a sense of anger: "What's the matter?" ”

Will it be Queen Duan? Gu Wanyin couldn't help but think. But it's uncertain. Today is a good day for Queen Duan, and she shouldn't choose this day. Moreover, I won't choose to do it in the palace. Otherwise, wouldn't she be able to clear her name at all?

However, who is it if it's not Queen Duan? Gu Wanyin looked over one by one, and gradually became a little dazed in her heart. Not only did I feel dazed, but I also felt tired and cold. She didn't like the palace, not at all.

Gu Wanyin bowed her head with a sigh of relief.

Then Queen Duan left, and as soon as Queen Duan left, the banquet naturally dispersed. Gu Wanyin followed the female officer out, but she thought in her heart - is Zhou Ruijing's side also scattered? Do you know what to expect over there? Do you know that Zhou Yuyan is popular, and the child may ...... Zhou Yuyan is still young, and when she sees red at this time, she can't keep it.

Gu Wanyin felt that she urgently needed someone to talk to, or even if she didn't say anything, let her lean on and slow down.

Sure enough, when she left the palace, Zhou Ruijing was already waiting for her at the palace gate. Gu Wanyin stepped forward, unable to restrain herself, and held Zhou Ruijing's hand tightly. When I felt the warmth of Zhou Ruijing's palm, my heart really soothed, and people slowly let go of Songxià from tension.
