Chapter 321: Palace Banquet II

The moonlight is bright and bright, reflecting the palace lights, casting an ethereal halo on the entire palace.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on the Prince of Chu and the Ninth Princess.

Only in the sight of the two and everyone, they secretly poked and looked at each other.

Gu Nanzhi looked at Xie Yi.

Xie Yi also looked at her.

At this moment, the two only had each other in their eyes.

The two glanced at each other, and then looked away and looked at Prince Chu and the Ninth Princess.

"Meet Your Majesty!" The prince of Chu and the nine princesses, as well as the envoys of the state of Chu, saluted Emperor Zhaoming one after another.

Prince Chu wore an apricot yellow brocade robe that showed his identity, embroidered with a four-clawed dragon pattern, and as rumored, he wore a golden mask on his face, which not only did not damage his image, but made him more and more handsome and extraordinary.

At present, many noble ladies have straight eyes.

The crown prince is the future king of a country, as long as he marries the prince, he will be the queen of Chu in the future.

Even the two princesses, Zhaohe and Zhaoyang, are quite satisfied with the crown prince of Chu.

Only Nanzhi was alone, frowning slightly, for some reason she always felt that the figure of this Prince Chu looked a little familiar, as if she had seen it before.

But it was obviously the first time she had seen the prince of Chu.

Look at the ninth princess of Chu again, she is dressed in a fairy rainbow yarn, more ethereal than the moonlight, her figure is graceful, curling and tingting, she has a light veil, only revealing a pair of eyes that are looking forward to the brilliance, and her red lips can be faintly glimpsed down.

First of all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought to him, although he already had a concubine, but he still lacked a side concubine, and in the coming day, he ascended to that position and named her a concubine, which was not considered to have wronged her.

On an occasion like today, His Majesty naturally does not want to detain the three princes anymore, and the eyes of the three princes are a little hotter than the eyes of the prince.

Compared with the princess of Chu State, Mu Ci is nothing, even if she is not worthy of lifting shoes.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have a concubine yet.

If he can marry the ninth princess of Chu State, it will be equivalent to getting the support of Chu State, so why worry that he can't do it.

Seeing that they were all calculating, Emperor Zhaoming raised his right hand slightly, "Everyone has come from afar, please hurry up." ”

The queen was quite scheming, she smiled at the ninth princess with a charitable look, in her opinion, it didn't matter what she looked like, what mattered was her identity.

The Prince of Chu and the Ninth Princess soon entered the table.

Gu Nanzhi was a little stunned.

The eyes of the ninth princess were really familiar, and she looked at her eyes carefully.

It was a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes, the tails of the eyes were slightly raised, with a natural charm, one more point would look vulgar, and one less point would look bland.

She thought about it carefully, and no one she knew had such eyes.

If there is, it will not be forgotten.

And yesterday's hostility was her delusion?

Looking at these nine princesses today, there is nothing wrong with it.

Seeing that she was looking intently, Xie Yi couldn't help but glance at the ninth princess more, could it be that Zhizhi found something?

Shen Chai also came tonight, with his identity, he was not qualified to participate in this palace banquet, but he couldn't stand the fact that there was a favored sister, and Concubine Yu begged His Majesty to allow him to come to see the world tonight.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, the aroma of wine overflowed, and the banquet soon became lively.

Prince Chu also raised his glass frequently and talked happily with everyone.

After everyone drank a few glasses.

Then comes the highlight of the night.

Since it was a marriage, the queen specially arranged for the two princesses to perform.

Princess Showa stroked the piano, the sound of the piano was melodious and pleasant, and it was obvious that she had worked hard.

Emperor Zhaoming quietly took in the reaction of Prince Chu, but he was afraid that Showa would be out of play, but there was still Zhaoyang, and there were only two princesses of the right age, if the prince of Chu didn't like it, he could only choose a woman of the right age from the royal family.

As for the nine princesses......

Emperor Zhaoming's eyes narrowed slightly, he had his own plans.

Gu Nanzhi observed the Prince of Chu and the Ninth Princess for a while, but she didn't find anything abnormal, she couldn't help but feel a little lacking in interest, what she didn't like the most was such an occasion, everyone was playing on the spot.

Thankfully, she was sitting in an unobtrusive position, so she covered her mouth with her hand and yawned widely.

The murderer who shot and injured her father and brother didn't find out for a day, so she didn't dare to take it lightly, and she kept tense, in order to prevent Xie Yi from worrying, she didn't dare to let him find out.

This will inevitably make her a little difficult.

Xie Yi watched all her small movements, his fingers holding the wine glass slowly tightened, and a trace of distress flashed in his eyes.

In the past few days, the Gu family has relied on her alone, and the murderer's matter has made no progress, even if she doesn't say it, he knows that she is getting more and more anxious day by day.

Who knows when those people will do it again.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked her life yesterday.

His eyes were sharp, and he looked at Prince Chu and the Ninth Princess, what is the connection between these two things?

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, it is inevitable that people will think about it, but the suspicion of this matter is that whether it is Zhizhi, as well as the Gu family's father and son, they have no grievances with them.

They couldn't afford to put in such a big effort to deal with the Gu family.

After Princess Showa, Princess Zhaoyang got up to dance, accompanied by silk and bamboo, she danced, her posture was smart and light, and with specially designed dance clothes, the whole person was like a fairy dancing under the moon.

Emperor Zhaoming nodded with satisfaction, he raised his eyes to look at Prince Chu, and saw that he looked indifferent and lacking in interest, and knew that Zhaoyang was not at all, this was not at all the eyes that a man should have when looking at a woman, he was more like looking at an object, or an object that was not interesting.

Not only did he see it, but even the queen saw it.

But there are only two princesses of the right age.

If it didn't work, the two of them looked at the county lord of Anding, who was eating.

Gu Nanzhi was dozing off, when suddenly a maidservant girl beside the queen stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the county lord of Anding.

"Smack!" Settle your hand shook, and the chopsticks fell to the ground.

Gu Nanzhi suddenly came to her senses, she turned her head to look at the county lord Anding, who deliberately changed places with others, and it was at the table next to her.

As soon as the maidservant beside the queen left, the county lord of Anding immediately put on a bitter gourd face, looked at Gu Nanzhi and cried quietly: "Sister Gu, the queen mother asked me to perform next, does she want me to marry into the Chu State to marry?" No, I don't want to go to Chu State, and I don't look down on the Prince of Chu who hides his head and shrinks his tail, he doesn't even dare to show his face, how ugly he must be, I'm afraid it's not a pockmarked face, Sister Gu, help me think of a way! ”

Naturally, there is a way, Gu Nanzhi gave her a reassuring look, avoided people's eyes and took the hand of the county lord of Anding, and wrote down a word in her palm.

The face of the county lord of Anding, who was still crying, immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, Sister Gu's method is good.

Didn't the queen let her perform?

Good!

Later, she will definitely surprise everyone, and make sure that they will not forget it and remember it vividly.
