Chapter 34: Isolated by Everyone
This life is so big, Gu Xiyan is the first time to enter the palace, but it does not mean that she is unfamiliar with the palace.
To be precise, in her previous life, she accompanied Zhou Du to every corner of the palace.
This time she walked into this majestic palace building, and she was at a loss for a moment, and had the illusion that she didn't know where she was.
The chrysanthemum feast was set up in the imperial garden, with palace people leading the way in front, and all the women and noblewomen following behind.
Everyone was cautious and didn't dare to look around, for fear of colliding with the nobles in the palace.
Entering the Imperial Garden, everyone was attracted by the classical magnificence of the garden architecture.
The pavilions in the park are stored, the pavilions are extended, the pine, cypress and bamboo forests are verdant, decorated with mountain stones, even if it is autumn, it is also full of greenery, and the landscape is magnificent.
After passing the floating pavilion on the north side that straddles the pool, you will go to the chrysanthemum area.
Gu Xiyan and his entourage were the earliest, only to see all kinds of precious and rare chrysanthemums competing to open, red, yellow, and white chrysanthemums were printed into their eyes, competing for beauty and dazzling.
There were many noble ladies who couldn't help but quietly look at the rare treasures of famous chrysanthemums, but Gu Xiyan looked in all directions and quietly looked at the few concubines who were surrounded by everyone not far ahead.
The leader is Zhou Xing's biological mother, Concubine Xian. I saw that she was dressed in gorgeous and cumbersome palace clothes, combed a flying cloud bun, wore a golden flower tree and swayed steps, her face was dignified and elegant, her temperament was noble, and the coercion of the superior was obvious.
The other concubine beside Concubine Xian is Concubine Wan, who is the biological mother of King Zhao.
King Zhao is seventeen this year, one year younger than Zhou Xing, he is usually an idle person, he likes to pick flowers and grass, whether it is appearance or intelligence is very ordinary, Emperor Chengde does not value King Zhao.
In addition, there is an eye-catching concubine who is Wu Zhaoyi, the biological mother of Princess Baohe, who was born with a beautiful appearance and is in her thirties.
Gu Xiyan thought of Princess Baohe, and saw Princess Baohe coming over surrounded by palace people and chamberlains.
Because Gu Xiyan was standing in the most inconspicuous position, Princess Baohe was a rough and big leaf, and she walked with the wind, so she directly bumped into Gu Xiyan.
"Why are you so short-sighted, and dare to stand in the way of this princess?" The arrogant Po and the princess glared at him.
Gu Xiyan replied without humility or arrogance: "It's the people's daughter's fault, please forgive your Highness." β
Princess Baohe couldn't see Gu Xiyan's face clearly, but when she saw Gu Xiyan going up, she didn't pursue it anymore, although it was not Gu Xiyan's fault in the first place.
But after this small conflict, Concubine Xian finally saw that there was still Gu Xiyan.
Concubine Xian didn't look down on Gu Xiyan in the first place, and felt that Gu Xiyan had no backer behind her, but because she had been engaged to Zhou Xing since she was a child, she could only reluctantly accept this fact.
In the past, there was any wedding banquet in the palace, and she never let Gu Xiyan enter the palace, because she didn't want to recognize Gu Xiyan as a prospective daughter-in-law.
Zhou Xing didn't want to quit his family at first. If it weren't for her repeated persuasion, Zhou Xing would not have made up his mind and quit Gu Xiyan's family business.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival chrysanthemum banquet, she specially invited Gu Xiyan into the palace, just to prove to the world that she was generous.
At this moment, comparing the cowering Gu Xiyan with the smiling Liu Chaoyan, she felt that Gu Xiyan was even more unacceptable, so she loved Liu Chaoyan, the quasi-Qin princess, even more.
The noble girl also has a circle, and everyone saw that Liu Chaoyan was taken by the virtuous concubine, and knew that Liu Chaoyan was the future princess of Qin, and they all showed favor to Liu Chaoyan.
As for Gu Xiyan, Zhong Shu also had a tacit understanding of excluding her.
There are also some people who feel that Gu Xiyan is pitiful, she was dismissed from her family, and she has to be humiliated like this by Concubine Xian.
Gu Xiyan himself thinks that this is very good, quiet!
It's just that this kind of tranquility didn't last long, because King Zhou Xing of Qin and King Zhou Yuan of Zhao also came to the Imperial Garden, and there were several young talents with them.
One of them, Gu Xiyan, recognized that he was Xu Yanqing, who had a meal for her in Jixianglou yesterday.
Gu Xiyan was even more conspicuous because she was isolated by the nobles.
Not only did Zhou Xing see Gu Xiyan at a glance, but Xu Yanqing saw Gu Xiyan with outstanding appearance and temperament.
Gu Xiyan applied a thin powder on his face today, smeared a touch of rouge, and lined his face like a peach blossom. Her clear apricot eyes are as clear as water, her small red lips are delicate, and the willow waist that can be held in one palm is amazingly thin.
In terms of beauty and figure, Gu Xiyan is undoubtedly the most outstanding among the nobles on the scene. Even her dress is the simplest, her makeup is the most ordinary, and even the jewelry she wears is the most unpretentious.
Not only Zhou Xing and Xu Yanqing's eyes were glued to Gu Xiyan's body, but several other young people were also fascinated by Gu Xiyan's good color.
Concubine Xian was very unhappy when she saw Zhou Xing's burning gaze fixed on Gu Xiyan, she said in a deep voice: "Ah Xing, Chaoyan is here!" β
Only then did Zhou Xing remember that his fiancΓ©e was Liu Chaoyan. At this moment, Liu Chaoyan was looking at him with anger and anger, nothing more than because his attention was taken away by Gu Xiyan before.
He walked up to Concubine Xian casually and held Liu Chaoyan's soft.
In fact, he had to admit that although Liu Chaoyan was also very beautiful, he was still slightly inferior to Gu Xiyan's alluring appearance.
Otherwise, he would not have delayed until this year before proposing to withdraw from Gu Xiyan.
Every time he saw Gu Xiyan after the divorce, his desire to get Gu Xiyan became even stronger.
He will not forget that for a whole decade, he regarded Gu Xiyan as his quasi-princess, but he regretted his marriage in the year when he was about to get married.
Liu Chaoyan looked at Zhou Xing shyly and timidly, but found that Zhou Xing was obviously looking at her, but the corner of his eye was looking at Gu Xiyan's location.
Zhou Xing has Liu Chaoyan by his side, and Concubine Xian is supervising by the side, so he can't pay any attention to Gu Xiyan, but Xu Yanqing is different.
He didn't like to participate in such activities, but because Gu Xiyan was there, he came.
He also ignored the gaze of many noble ladies to glance at him, and went straight to Gu Xiyan to talk: "Miss Gu, meet again." β
Gu Xiyan didn't want to deal with Xu Yanqing, just because many people were watching her. To be precise, it is because Xu Yanqing has a bad man's face, especially a pair of Ruifeng eyes that are amorous, and when he looks at people, he seems to be flirting, Xu Yanqing is Qi Anbo's sister-in-law, and he is a high-quality man that many noble women from the family want to marry.
Xu Yanqing stood beside her, making many people notice her existence, and she didn't like to be paid attention to like this.
"There are a lot of people here, shall I take the girl to the Fubi Pavilion for a walk?" Xu Yanqing looked respectful and polite, and looked at Gu Xiyan with a pair of affectionate eyes.
His fiery and straightforward eyes made no secret of his interest in Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan didn't like to be watched by so many people, plus Xu Yanqing was one of her objects, but she didn't twist, "Childe, please!" β
