Chapter 43
At this time in the palace, the queen had just received the letter from Princess Rong Le, she opened it for a few glances, and then looked at the nurse beside her.

"You went to find the imperial physician, and you said that Ben Gong was not feeling well, and asked the imperial physician to treat me."

On weekdays, the queen would not dare to get sick easily, because as long as she gets sick, she will be divided by Emperor Ye.

But this time Princess Rong Le wanted the right to hold a lotus feast, so she had no choice but to pretend to be sick.

When the imperial doctor came, he said that the queen had suffered from a cold and needed some experience.

The queen specially asked someone to call Ye Di.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has been suffering from the wind and cold for the past few days. I'm afraid I won't have time to hold the lotus feast."

"Rong Le is grown up now, why not let her help the concubines hold the Lotus Appreciation Banquet."

Ye Di was obviously unwilling, frowned and said, "She is being grounded, how can I help you hold a lotus appreciation feast?"

For her daughter's plan, the queen chose to face the difficulties.

She coughed and said weakly, "Your Majesty, Rong Le already knew she was wrong, she is our daughter."

"This matter is Rong Le's fault, but Rong Le is a princess, His Majesty still has to think about her face."

Yedi said angrily, "You know she's a princess too? It's embarrassing for her to do such a scandal. She raised her face before finding a son-in-law."

Seeing that Emperor Ye was really angry, the queen choked with tears and said, "Your Majesty, please let Rong Le hold a lotus reward banquet, otherwise people will think that Your Majesty has rejected her."

Hearing the queen's crying, Ye Di gradually became impatient, but Princess Rong Le was his biological daughter after all, and finally agreed to let Princess Rong Le lift the confinement for a few days.

Soon Princess Rong Le entered the palace and began to prepare for the lotus banquet, because the queen was behind her to help, and everything went smoothly.

Finally, the lotus feast began.

As the princess of the night, Gu Xiyue was naturally among those invited.

On the day of the lotus banquet, there was an endless stream of carriages entering the palace. These carriages were either the daughters of ministers or some dignified wives.

Gu Xiyue got a lot of attention as Princess Ye.

The Lotus Appreciation Banquet is a palace banquet, and men and women sit in separate seats, so Gu Xiyue naturally sits with other female relatives.

Gu Xiyue sat down according to her position, and then stared at the lotus in Taiye Pond in a daze.

Although the scenery of Taiye Pool is very good, the breeze blows slowly, and the lotus in the pool moves against the wind, like a dancing girl.

Although the scenery is beautiful, there are the rustling sounds of women beside them, they found their handkerchiefs for each other.

Then they began to chat about skirts and jewelry. Princess Rong Le came in from Gu Xiyue, and looked at her from time to time.

Didn't expect this Gu Xiyue to be so calm, isn't she guilty at all?

Seeing Princess Rong Le staring at Gu Xiyue, Gu Qingshuang couldn't help fanning the flames beside her.

"Why is the princess staring at her? It's really unlucky."

Princess Rong Le withdrew her gaze and looked at Gu Qingshuang, "This princess is very curious, she did something wrong and offended this princess, isn't she guilty at all?"

"Humph."

Gu Qingshuang sarcastically said, "She is like this. She looks cute on the surface, but she is actually a slut. If there is no princess here, she might have her tail up in the sky."

Hearing what Gu Qingshuang said, Princess Rong Le raised her eyebrows and sneered, "As long as this princess is here, she won't be allowed to be presumptuous."

At this time, Gu Xiyue noticed Princess Rong Le's gaze, and when she followed her gaze, she saw that her eyes were ice-cold, as if she was about to eat herself.

Gu Xiyue was a little puzzled, how did she offend Princess Rongle.

Then she caught a glimpse of Gu Qingshuang beside Princess Rong Le, and suddenly realized that there was Gu Qingshuang, the shit-stirring stick for a long time.

Finally all the invited people came, Princess Rong Le winked at the eunuch at the side.

The eunuch took a step forward and said loudly, "Today we are enjoying the lotus banquet, in order to show off your talents and learning, Princess Rong Le asked a question."

"Use the lotus flower as the quotation, whoever has the best sentence will get a golden lotus prepared by Princess Rong Le."

After he finished speaking, a servant girl held out a lotus flower made of gold. Looking at the weight, it seemed to be solid.

Princess Rong Le smiled slightly at the people present, "Next is your preparation time."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Xiyue.

"Concubine Ye must be well prepared."

How could Gu Xiyue not feel such obvious targeting?

The original owner had never been to a private school before, so Gu Qingshuang must be very clear about it, how could Princess Rong Le befriend Gu Qingshuang without knowing it?

Princess Rong Le asked her to prepare by name. Isn't this just to ask her to write a poem later?

Hearing Princess Rong Le nod Princess Ye, a lady next to her spoke.

"Is this Princess Ye? I heard that Princess Ye is the adopted daughter of General Gu You, so I think her literary talents will not be inferior to others."

"That's right, how can you become the Princess of the Night if you don't know anything about it?"

"We want to have a good look at the literary talents of the princess."

These women lick each other, and they want to blow Gu Xiyue out.

Gu Xiyue knew very well that they were just talking, and both of them had disdain in their eyes.

Although she knew that these people were falsely flattering her, Gu Qingshuang still felt very uncomfortable.

She sarcastically said, "She's just my father's adopted daughter, how many drops of ink are there in her stomach? You people, don't expect too much."

Regarding Gu Qingshuang's dismantling, Gu Xiyue was not angry, her face was calm and composed.

It seems that the flattery of these ladies and the ridicule of Gu Qingshuang have nothing to do with her.

Seeing that what they said was useless, Gu Xiyue was very calm, and these people shut their mouths in disappointment.

Whatever you say, it's not my saliva that was wasted.

Gu Xiyue calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Finally, Princess Rongle ordered Gu Xiyue and the daughter of the chief minister of the cabinet, and asked them to compose poems together to compete.

Liu Ruyuan, the daughter of the chief minister of the cabinet, has a beautiful appearance and a bookish temperament. She is a well-known talented woman in the capital.

As for composing a poem with Gu Xiyue, she just gave her a contemptuous look, and then wrote a poem on the spot by herself.

The people present immediately applauded and praised.

Princess Rong Le even said with a look of hope in her eyes, "As expected of the lady who is the chief assistant of the cabinet, this literary talent is really extraordinary."

She looked at Gu Xiyue and said, "Let's ask Princess Ye to write a poem next."

These people decided to let themselves write poems out of self-care, and Gu Xiyue felt slightly displeased.

She frowned and shied away, "This princess is illiterate, so I won't make a fool of myself."

Seeing Gu Xiyue's refusal, these ladies were not happy, and one or two insisted that Gu Xiyue write a poem.

"alright."

Gu Xiyue stood up and came to the Taiye Pond, and then recited Su Chen's "Lotus".

"Lotus palace-like beauty makeup, lotus leaves facing the wind and emerald green clothes. Last night was as cool as water, and the Xianqu was in the middle of the water."

poetry?She can't, but she has a thick skin and can recite poems.

"This poem is wonderful."

"Excellent."

Liu Ruyuan leaned towards Gu Xiyue, "My daughter admires the concubine's literary talent."

Seeing that Gu Xiyue was not troubled by writing poems, Princess Rong Le's face turned ugly, and in the end it was Gu Xiyue who won Jin He.

Just when Gu Xiyue thought it was over, Princess Rong Le made people serve drinks again.

"This year's Lotus Appreciation Banquet is different from the past. The princess thinks that something new can be brought, so we let this year's newcomers come to the bar."
