After the rebirth, the concubine, she went crazy

Chapter 80 Preparing for the Palace Banquet
There are still five days to prepare for the palace banquet, which was handed over to Concubine Xiao to show her honor.

But for this palace banquet, the emperor handed it over to the empress to prepare, but it was also expected by everyone.

The strange thing is that Concubine Xiao Gui didn't move at all, if it was in the past, it would definitely cause trouble to heaven.

Today is different from the past. The emperor's attention to the crown prince and empress has been noticed by others. Naturally, no one is rushing to find trouble at this juncture.

However, preparations for the palace banquet were busy, and the queen was too busy alone. The other concubines more or less wanted to see the queen make jokes, so no one was willing to help.

Xie Chen stayed in the harem in his previous life and knew that people's hearts are scary, so he took the initiative to do something for the queen.

"Chen'er has helped me a lot in the past few days, and I have worked hard." The queen said to Xie Chen who was still looking at the details of the palace banquet.

It would definitely be a little difficult for her to organize the palace banquet by herself, but Xie Chen quickly got started as soon as she came over, as if she had experience before.

But the queen didn't think much about it, thinking that Xie Chen was talented and intelligent, besides, she also heard that Xie Chen was in charge of the family in Xie's mansion, so she knew something about it.

Xie Chen raised his head from the list written by the palace man in front of him, and smiled softly at the queen: "It's nothing, I'll be very happy if I can help Aunt Chen'er."

She and the queen didn't become estranged because of the matter of Ye Tingdian, but they were more willing to treat her sincerely.

When Yan Yichen sat on the throne in the previous life, he didn't dare to take action against her. Xie Chen still had some real power in his hands, and he had also arranged for big events such as the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Although he was a little unfamiliar now, he was always quicker than others.

Seeing Xie Chen's cute and smart appearance, the queen cherished her, "If I have a daughter, I really hope she is as smart and sensible as you." Her words were filled with liking.

Xie Chen heard the Queen's love for him, with a charming smile on his face, "Auntie is like a mother to Chen'er."

Hearing this, the smile on the Queen's face grew even stronger.

Since Xie Chen entered the palace, her mood has become better, and she has helped herself and the prince a lot. To her, Xie Chen is like her own daughter. She wants to make up for her lack of maternal love.

It is the last day before the palace banquet starts, Xie Chen has dealt with matters in the Queen's Palace as in the past few days, and is waiting for the palace banquet to start tomorrow.

When he reached the gate of Shifang Palace, Gao Kun came to her and told her, "Miss is back, Master Gu has been waiting in the palace for a while."

Because he was helping in the Queen's Palace, for the sake of convenience, Xie Chen would come back after dinner every time, and it was already slightly dark at this time.

Xie Chen was a little confused about what Gu Hengyu was looking for him for, he nodded to Gao Kun to indicate that he knew, and walked in.

Gu Hengyu wore a black dress embroidered with gold thread, and the sleeves were lined with red, which made him look extravagant and unrestrained. Seeing Xie Chen come in, there was a slight smile on his bland face.

"Aren't you afraid of what the palace people will say when Master Gu visits late at night?" Xie Chen didn't directly ask Gu Hengyu why he came, but asked while looking at his face.

Men and women are alone in the middle of the night and will be gossiped, not to mention this majestic imperial city, where there are many people and people in the palace, everything that is not there must be passed on.

Gu Hengyu gestured for Xie Chen to sit down with his eyes, and poured her a cup of tea with the teapot, which complemented the atmosphere in this hall, as if he was in his own place.

"People in the palace are busy with tomorrow's palace banquet, so they don't have time to notice that I'm here." Gu Hengyu knew that Xie Chen also understood, but he still followed her words and replied.

If Gu Hengyu went to the emperor's place late at night, maybe someone would still be staring at him, but when he came to Shifang Palace, even if he was noticed, others would not dare to say anything.

Xie Chen nodded, and took a sip of the tea Gu Hengyu poured for her, with satisfaction on his face.

"But what you said is wrong. How can such an attractive face of Lord Gu Xiaohou not be noticed?" Because he was getting along with Gu Hengyu, Xie Chen relaxed.

Gu Hengyu smiled, knowing that Xie Chen was joking, she was not angry.

Looking at Gu Hengyu's handsome face with a smile and a pair of peach blossom eyes staring at him, Xie Chen's heart beat uncontrollably.

Gu Hengyu's face is really attractive, Xie Chen thought to himself, and couldn't help but blush because of his heartbeat.

"Don't talk about that, are you looking for me today just to chat?" Xie Chen asked.

She hadn't seen Gu Hengyu since the day the queen was trapped in the Ye Ting Palace last time. Even if Gu Hengyu entered the palace these days, he stayed in the imperial study for an afternoon before leaving.

There are many cases in Dali Temple, and under the constraints of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Gu Hengyu knows that Xie Chen is not as fragile as he imagined, not to mention that Xie Chen is so busy helping the queen prepare the palace banquet these days, so he didn't bother him.

Hurriedly finishing the affairs of Dali Temple, Gu Hengyu counted the time to come to Shifang Hall, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to be so busy, so he came in and waited for half an hour.

"What? I haven't seen you for a few days. Don't you want to chat with me?" Gu Hengyu also teased Xie Chen in the same tone that Xie Chen had just teased him.

Xie Chen's ears were slightly red when he heard this, and he glared at him.

Gu Hengyu clicked to the end, afraid of making Xie Chen angry if he continued, he said, "Of course there is something to do, and it's not a small matter."

Hearing that what Gu Hengyu said didn't look like a joke, Xie Chen was a little puzzled, he had only been busy for three or four days, did something happen in the palace in this gap?
"What?" Xie Chen asked.

Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen, "Do you know what the fifth prince did first thing after he lifted the restraint?"

This matter has been spread in the palace, Xie Chen naturally knows, "Didn't you go to Concubine Xiao's palace to make a fuss and make Concubine Xiao angry?"

Because Concubine Xiao Gui had a lot of troubles recently, although Xie Chen didn't have time to think about it, he could vaguely guess it, but he didn't know what it had to do with her.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen answered Gu Hengyu's question: "The fifth prince went to Concubine Xiao's place and everyone in the palace knows." The implication is that she also knows.

Gu Hengyu seemed a little helpless when he heard it: "My people got some news that the fifth prince is going to attack you."

Xie Chen's first reaction was that Yan Yiran wanted to harm him, but then he immediately understood that what Gu Hengyu meant was that Yan Yiran, like Yan Yichen, might have turned his mind on himself.

It seems that she guessed right, it really has something to do with the throne, after the crown prince and queen gained power, they couldn't sit still.

Xie Chen nodded, not knowing how to react, although this matter was beyond his expectation, it was also reasonable.

Gu Hengyu didn't ask what Xie Chen was thinking, and continued: "I guess he might ask the emperor for a marriage at the tomorrow palace banquet."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Chen finally had some waves on his face.

She forgot that Yan Yiran was not full of scheming like Yan Yichen, he was looking for the fastest and most effective method.

Besides, Yan Yiran's status was more than a little higher than Yan Yichen's. Yan Yichen didn't dare to ask for a marriage order, but he did, and it was very likely that the emperor would agree to this matter.

If she rejects Yan Yiran, not only him but also the Xiao family behind him will be offended.
