The bright moonlight reflected the palace lanterns, casting a misty halo over the entire palace.

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

Only the two of them and everyone looked at each other secretly.

Gu Nazhi looked at Xie Ni.

Xie Ni also looked at her.

At this moment, the two of them only had eyes for each other.

The two looked at each other before looking away and towards Prince Chu and Ninth Princess.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The Prince of Chu, the Ninth Princess, and all the envoys from Chu State 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. As rumored, he wore a golden mask on his face. Not only did it not detract from his image, but it made him even more handsome. extraordinary.

At this moment, many noble ladies looked at him with eyes straight.

The prince is the future king of a country. As long as you marry the prince, you will be the queen of Chu in the future.

Even the two princesses Zhaohe and Zhaoyang were quite satisfied with the prince of Chu.

Looking only at Nanzhi, she frowned slightly. For some reason, she always felt that the figure of Prince Chu looked a bit familiar, as if she had seen him before.

But it was obviously her first time meeting the prince of Chu.

Look at the ninth princess of the Chu Kingdom again. She is dressed in fairy-like silk gauze, which is more ethereal than the moonlight. Her figure is graceful and graceful, and she comes in a graceful way. She has a veil on her face, only revealing her eyes that are full of hope, and she is looking towards her. Her bright red lips could be faintly glimpsed below.

First, His Highness the Crown Prince had a thought in his mind. Although he already had a main concubine, he still lacked a concubine. If he ascended to that position and made her a noble concubine in the future, it would not be considered as wronging her.

On an occasion like today, His Majesty would naturally not be able to restrain the Third Prince. The Third Prince's eyes were a bit hotter than the Prince's.

Compared with the Princess of Chu, Mu Ci was nothing. He was not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

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

If he could marry the ninth princess of Chu State, it would be equivalent to getting the support of Chu State, so why worry about him not being able to succeed.

Seeing that each of them had a plan, Emperor Zhaoming raised his right hand slightly and said, "Everyone has come from afar, please get up quickly."

The Queen was very scheming. She smiled at the Ninth Princess with a charitable look. In her opinion, her appearance was not important, what was important was her identity.

Prince Chu and Ninth Princess quickly took their seats.

Gu Nanzhi was a little stunned.

The eyes of Princess Ninth were really familiar. She looked at her eyes carefully.

They are a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes, with the ends of the eyes raised slightly, and they have a natural charm. If they are more, they will appear gaudy, if they are less, they will appear dull.

She recalled carefully that no one she knew had such eyes.

If anything, I will definitely have a photographic memory.

Was yesterday's hostility her imagination?
Looking at these nine princesses today, there is nothing wrong with them at all.

Seeing her concentration, Xie Ni couldn't help but take another look at the Ninth Princess. Did Zhizhi discover something?

Shen Zhui is also here tonight. He is not qualified to participate in this palace banquet due to his status, but she can't stand the fact that she has a favored sister, so Concubine Yu begs your majesty to allow him to come and see the world tonight.

The sound of silk and bamboo was played, the aroma of wine overflowed, and the banquet soon became lively.Prince Chu also frequently raised his glasses and chatted happily with everyone.

After everyone had had a few drinks.

Next is the highlight of the night.

Since the married queen specially arranged for the two princesses to perform.

Princess Showa played a piece of music on the harp. The sound was melodious and sweet, and you could tell that she had put in a lot of effort into it.

Emperor Zhaoming calmly took in the reaction of Prince Chu. He was afraid that Zhaohe would be gone, but there was still Zhaoyang, and there were only two princesses of the right age. If Prince Chu didn't like it, he could only come from the royal family. Choose a woman of the right age.

As for the ninth princess...

Emperor Zhaoming narrowed his eyes slightly, he had his own plan.

Gu Nanzhi observed the Prince Chu and the Ninth Princess without any trace for a while, but found nothing unusual. She couldn't help but feel a little uninterested. What she disliked the most was such an occasion, where everyone was just playing along.

Fortunately, she was sitting in an inconspicuous position, so she covered her mouth with her hands and yawned widely.

The murderer who shot her father and brother was not found out in a day, so she did not dare to take it lightly. She kept tight, fearing Xie Ni and not letting him notice.

She was a little confused at this moment.

Xie Ni saw all her little movements in his eyes. His fingers slowly tightened on the wine glass, and a trace of distress flashed in his eyes.

In the past few days, the Gu family had been supported by her alone, and there was no progress in the murder case. Even if she didn't say it, he knew that she was getting more and more anxious day by day.

Who knows when those people will take action again.

Otherwise, she would not have put herself in danger yesterday.

He looked at Prince Chu and Ninth Princess with sharp eyes. Is there any connection between these two things?
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? It would inevitably make people think too much, but the doubtful point about this matter is that neither Zhi Zhi nor the Gu family father and son have any enmity with them.

They don't need to make such a big effort to deal with the Gu family.

After Princess Zhaohe, Princess Zhaoyang stood up to dance. Accompanied by silk and bamboo, she danced gracefully. Her figure was agile and light. With her specially designed dance clothes, she looked like a fairy dancing under the moon.

Emperor Zhaoming nodded with satisfaction. He raised his eyes to look at Prince Chu. When he saw his expression of calmness and lack of interest, he knew that Zhaoyang was not good either. This was not the way a man should look at a woman. It was more like he was looking at an object, an object that was not interesting at all.

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

But there are only two princesses of the right age.

If that didn't work, both of them looked at Princess An Ding who was eating.

Gu Nazhi was dozing off when suddenly a maid next to the queen came forward and whispered a few words in Princess Anding's ear.

"Pah!" An Ding shook his hand and his chopsticks fell to the ground.

Gu Nanzhi suddenly woke up. She turned to look at Princess Anding. Anding specially changed places with others and was at the table next to hers.

As soon as the maid beside the queen left, Princess Anding immediately looked at Gu Nanzhi with a bitter look on her face and cried softly: "Sister Gu, the queen asked me to perform next. She wants me to marry into the Chu Kingdom. Really? No, I don’t want to go to Chu State, and I don’t look down on that Prince Chu who hides his head and shrinks his tail. He doesn’t even dare to show his face. He must be so ugly. I’m afraid he has a pockmarked face. Sister Gu, help me quickly. Think of a way!"

Of course there was a way. Gu Nanzhi gave her a comforting look, took Princess Anding's hand out of sight, and wrote each word on her palm.

Princess Anding's face, which was still mournful, immediately turned from gloomy to clear. Sister Gu's approach was a good one.

Didn't the queen ask her to perform?
it is good!
She will give everyone a surprise later to ensure that they will never forget it and remember it fresh. (End of chapter)
