Chapter 12

It's not that he didn't know what happened in Zhenbao Pavilion, he had already been notified by his subordinates when it just happened.

He has always attached great importance to Liu Chanyi's matter.

But he also understood Liu Chanyi's character, if he bought the hairpin as a gift to her, she would definitely not be willing, and for Miss Qi's family, he had already sent someone to teach her a lesson.

It's just that this cannot be known to others, otherwise his reputation as the prince may be stained.

Also can't let Liu Chanyi know that she loves face, if she finds out that she knows about Zhenbao Pavilion, she might burst into tears.

Originally, he was supposed to come a few days ago, but who knew that the emperor's uncle gave Liu Chanyi a hairpin, which made people angry, and he had to come back a few days later.

For other people, Gu Rui definitely wouldn't think so much, but who made this person Liu Chanyi?
He is so cute that he is afraid of falling when he holds it in the palm of his hand.

A few days passed quickly, and the day for the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet arrived soon.

When autumn comes, whether it is the royal family or the common people, they will always find some days to celebrate in this long period of time.

Some time ago it was the grand autumn ceremony, from top to bottom, from civil and military officials to farmers and hawkers, all participated in it.

During those days, Liu Chanyi was still pestering Gu Zhang, so she didn't care much about these things.

Now that I think about it, I feel a little pity.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet is held every year, and this is not the first time Liu Chanyi has participated.

At the beginning, I felt a little fresh, but after a few years, the rewards were the same every year, and the freshness disappeared.

Miss Bie's family went to the banquet to socialize with other people and connect with each other.

Every time Liu Chanyi went there, it was a veritable chrysanthemum appreciation.

She went to the palace as if she was going to her own home, how could she have so many thoughts?

Early in the morning, I had a good time dressing up, and I specially used the golden bird hairpin that the prince's brother gave me that day.

After looking at the bronze mirror for a while, seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, Liu Chanyi nodded in satisfaction.

Mrs. Liu had been waiting outside for quite a while, but she wasn't impatient at all. On the contrary, she felt that her daughter should dress up like this.

"Mom, I'm fine, let's go."

Jumping in her heart, Liu Chanyi had no scruples when she walked, she was really like a little bird, jumping around.

Only Mrs. Liu looked at her with a smile on her face, and kept saying, "Slow down, don't fall later."

"No." The answer to Mrs. Liu was the echo of Liu Chanyi who had already run a long way.

After getting into the carriage, Liu Chanyi restrained a lot, she would ignore it when she was happy.

But she still knew what to do on what occasion.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet is hosted by the empress, so ladies and wives will naturally pay attention to it.

The last concubine selection banquet, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not there, ended up being nothing.

That is to say, the candidate for the crown princess has not been decided yet, so as long as it is an opportunity to perform well in front of the empress, they will not let it go.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, many ladies had already arrived, and they were relatively late.

"Why are you here so early?" Liu Chanyi muttered in confusion as she looked at the situation.

Mrs. Liu just smiled and didn't speak.

Liu Chanyi is still young, she has never experienced these things, but her heart is like a bright mirror.

I came so early, didn't I just hope that I could pay more attention in front of the empress?
But why is the empress so easy to be pleased by these trivial things?
I'm afraid the empress has a steelyard in her heart to measure how the ladies of each family are.

The venue of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet was set in the Imperial Garden. Since it was a Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, the focus of this banquet must be on the chrysanthemums.

Now this season is the time when chrysanthemums are in full bloom. There are all kinds of flowers in the imperial garden, and some of them are specially enshrined from rare and small countries. The empress also likes them very much.

Many young ladies in the imperial garden stood together, they didn't know what they were talking about, they had obvious smiles on their faces, and they looked very happy.

Liu Chanyi didn't want to get together with them, she had nothing to say to those young ladies, she might as well stay alone and be quiet.

Mrs. Liu had already started talking with a few wives, she gave Liu Chanyi a few words, and asked someone to stay aside.

The queen empress and His Royal Highness the prince have not arrived yet, and they will probably wait until the end.

Liu Chanyi was sitting in a remote gazebo, looking down at the occasional ripples on the water.

It's not summer anymore, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers have withered, the water surface is clean, not a single dead branch or leaf can be seen, probably someone cleaned it up.

"Why is Ms. Liu sitting here? She's all alone, but it's easy for the rest of us to find." Liu Chanyi couldn't help frowning at the sudden voice behind her.

This was the reason why Liu Chanyi didn't want to come to the banquet, if she was bored alone, she would be troubled by others.

"What do you need from me?" Liu Chanyi was very cold.

"It's nothing, our sisters just want to make friends with Ms. Liu. I wonder if Ms. Liu can give me a chance?" The person who spoke first was smiling, as if she really came to make friends.

"No need, I still have some things to do, so I'm leaving first." Liu Chanyi turned her head and left.

Those people hurriedly called Liu Chanyi from behind and wanted to follow, but unfortunately Liu Chanyi walked too fast, they couldn't keep up at all.

"What can we do? Miss Qi will definitely scold us for such a trivial matter."

Seeing that they couldn't catch up, someone was obviously downcast and looked sullen.

"It doesn't matter, the banquet is still long, there is always a chance." The leader was not worried at all, looked at Liu Chanyi's back and smiled lightly, but he restrained himself very quickly.

Those people chased too closely, Liu Chanyi had no choice but to keep walking forward, she didn't know where she had gone.

There are quite a few people who come to this imperial palace, but most of them stay in the Queen's Palace or the Eastern Palace.

She really rarely came to the imperial garden.

So when she came to an unfamiliar place, Liu Chanyi was a little stunned.

There are solitary branches and leaves everywhere, although there are not many, but they should not appear in other places.

The leaves in the yard have long since withered and turned yellow, hanging on the branches and crumbling, as if they are about to fall from the tree in the next second and fall into a pile of dead leaves, never to be found again.

Liu Chanyi turned her head and glanced at the place she came from, but she no longer remembered the way.

Really unable to go back, Liu Chanyi could only bite the bullet and stepped over these dead branches with some care, but the crunching sound of the dead leaves being stepped on still made people feel a little scalp numb.
