Dong Gong Mei

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." All bowed together, and it was as if a mountain was overwhelming, and the noisy inner court suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Chengyan looked up and saw that the sun was shining in front of the court. Li Xuanye was wearing a black court dress with a white jade pendant around his waist. s eyes.

Zhao Chengyan's legs gave way suddenly, almost knocking over the dishes on the table.

Zhao Xiwei dodged back subconsciously, turned his gaze, and saw He Man's branch hanging lower, she bent her knees slightly, but her body was trembling, and she almost fell into the table mat.

He didn't see the affection, but he was afraid nine out of ten. This embarrassment and timidity made Gu Yuci more charming and confident.

Zhao Xiwei was still thinking about it, but Gu Yuci had already greeted him generously: "Why is Your Highness here?"

While personally introducing the superior seat, he chatted with a smile: "There are many things in court, so is this the only time your Highness will come down?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept across He Manzhi's head, and he flicked his sleeves calmly, barely covering half of He Manzhi's body, and then blinked at the princess: "Your Highness has to get out of his way to go to the palace in his busy schedule." Banquet, this kind of courtesy is not just given. I heard that the palace has good wine from Jiang Xia, but now that the distinguished guests are here, why don’t you bring it out?”

"Don't you dare!" Wang Hao is a person with a good face, and immediately caught her words: "Your Highness is so kind, the prince and I are very grateful, I'm afraid His Highness thinks our wine is not good enough!"

In just two or three sentences, a clever servant woman quietly stepped forward, removed the copper basin and cotton towel, and served the food and wine again, and the chaos just now was swept away.

Except for He Manzhi, who was covered with bloodstains, who dared not look up while sitting in the chair, even Mrs. He shrank—after all, she scratched her daughter's face herself. Despise the East Palace.

No matter how vulgar and ignorant Mrs. He was, she knew how big a mistake she had made, and suddenly she was dripping with cold sweat, and her hand holding the chopsticks was trembling unceasingly.

Zhao Xiwei watched from the side, sighing secretly, Gu Yuci really had a good plan.

Angering Madam He and scratching He Manzhi's face is tantamount to ruining He Manzhi's future completely - the disfigured face has no possibility of being favored, and can only be reduced to a display from now on.

He Manzhi was timid as a mouse, and knew that he had no right to speak at this time, so he could only swallow his teeth.

Li Xuanye took his seat and took the wine brought by the princess, but he was not in a hurry to taste it, he just glanced down at the seat.

Everyone in the audience was shocked, and when he turned his gaze, he saw that it was on He Manzhi, and his heart jumped again, but he just paused for a moment, and then looked at the people at the table.

Everyone shrank their necks and hurriedly covered their sleeves and pretended to drink.

Gu Yuci didn't know what he was going to do, and followed him closely.

This man, they have fought many times, she has been hurt and hated, but she has never been afraid.But she never relaxed.

He's too smart and too ruthless.

To be his woman, you need to be vigilant all the time, otherwise you will be in the abyss if you don't pay attention.

"This wine is Jiangxia's fine wine, known as lotus fragrance dew." The princess and the prince looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out what His Royal Highness meant. Seeing that he was silent, he asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Li Xuanye held the wine cup, turned it casually, and said, "Not bad."

The prince finally opened his mouth. Although it was only two words, it made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The princess's smile was also much brighter: "This wine is not expensive. It is brewed with fresh lotus pistils and honey. It is fragrant and sweet in the mouth. The prince and I both like it." Seeing that he hadn't drank it for a long time, he said again, " This wine is a little weak, but not intoxicating..."

Li Xuanye smiled slightly, and suddenly said "Oh": "When Gu Fang just came over, it seemed that there was a noise?"

Everyone whispered a bad word.

Gu Yuci squeezed his palms hard - he actually came to stand up for Zhao Xiwei!
The concubine hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "It's nothing, it's just that the big guys got together and laughed happily for a while." She gave everyone a wink, "I tell you to restrain yourself, it's a joke, you should be punished! "

"Wangfei is right." Mrs. Zhao hurriedly echoed, "Sure enough, you should be punished!" She raised her glass first, and drank respectfully.

The eldest princess also stood up with a smile: "I am greedy for drinking, so I will punish you with three cups."

With these two people taking the lead, everyone raised their glasses and toasted congratulations. The group was enjoying themselves, but three people remained motionless.

The one who huddled on the seat and didn't dare to lift his head was naturally He Manzhi who had scratched his face and hadn't had time to clean it in the future.

The other two are Gu Yuci and Zhao Xiwei.

Gu Yuci didn't drink, and everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with it - the prospective princess selected by the emperor was naturally of high status.

But Zhao Xiwei, a disused princess, how could she put on airs like this?Is this a blow to the Crown Princess-to-be?

Gu Yuci narrowed his eyes, a little coldness came out quietly.

Competing with her for a man, maybe she can bear it.

But she absolutely can't bear to compete with her for power!
Just trying to hold back his anger, he suddenly heard Li Xuanye ask again: "Gu Fang was just outside, and it seems that he heard something about melon fields and plums, who are sour and jealous?"

There was silence everywhere, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to answer.

The concubine and the prince looked at each other, after a moment of deliberation, they decided that King Jiang Xia would come forward.

"His Royal Highness—"

Since King Jiangxia returned to the capital, he has never been involved in power or state affairs, in order to avoid getting involved in the right and wrong of the royal family. Seeing that the crown prince has the intention of questioning the crime, the most important thing is to get rid of his own ties.

Therefore, he stroked his beard and murmured respectfully, "The minister is not too clear about this matter. I have to ask Miss Gu for the specifics." He arched his hands again and said goodbye to Gu Yu, "Miss Gu, please .”

Immediately, all eyes turned to Gu Yuci.

This old slick!
Gu Yuci secretly gritted his teeth in anger.

"His Royal Highness..." Mrs. Gu became nervous, and was about to explain a few words for her daughter when someone pulled her sleeve suddenly.

Gu Yuci stood up: "Your Highness!"

She thought she was a proud person, but her dignity was trampled upon by the prince again and again.She endured everything else, but now, he wants to protect other women in front of her!

This is simply to announce to the world that she, the prospective princess, is just a display!
Since you don't give her face, then don't blame her for not giving her face!

"Your Highness heard me right." Gu Yuci hooked his red lips, and looked at Li Xuanye, "It was just a quarrel, melon fields and plums, and jealousy..." He smiled slightly, provocatively, "Not only that, Miss He also This is out of character, since His Highness intervened, he must make decisions for her!"

Zhao Xi frowned slightly, looked up and saw Gu Yuci's face was half a smile but not a smile.

She went to see Li Xuanye again.

Li Xuanye glanced at He Manzhi, but he didn't show any expression, he just asked lightly, "What's going on."
