She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.

The eunuch had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Fu Rudi and Fu Jiao, he quickly led the way.

Along the way, Fu Rudi met many colleagues, and those officials greeted him warmly.Fu Rudi nodded slightly, his attitude was neither flattering nor cold, just right.

He has been transferred to the capital for so long, and he is in a high position at a young age, and there are many people who want to curry favor with him.But these days, the more friends the better, the more important thing is to do your job well.Just like King Chengnan, when the Dongchuang Incident happened, the saint also liquidated his party members. Not to mention Yunzhou, there were seven or eight officials implicated in the capital alone.Exile after exile, demote after demote, it can be said that the tree fell and the hozen scattered.

Fu Jiao silently observed Fu Rudi's colleagues.

They also brought their families.

But all of them brought their wives, and no one brought their younger brothers and sisters.

Fu Jiao looked at the tall palace gate and felt uneasy for the first time. She quietly asked Fu Rudi: "Brother, is it really okay for you to bring me here for a feast?"

"What could be wrong?"

Fu Rudi was amused by her tone.

"Everyone else takes care of their wives. Wouldn't it be bad if you take me?"

Fu Jiao's unintentional words made Fu Rudi's smile freeze.His heartbeat skipped half a beat, but fortunately the night was too dark, covering up his fleeting panic.

Fu Rudi said seriously: "There's nothing wrong with it. Just eat more food and talk less."

"it is good."

With these words, Fu Jiao was completely relieved and prepared to enjoy the royal palace banquet.

The palace banquet was held in Junhua Palace.

A bright moon passed over the turret carved with dragons and phoenixes, casting a hazy yellow light into the high wall.

Hundreds of candles lit up the palace as bright as day.The ground paved with white marble glows warmly, and the bronze furnace is filled with fragrance. I wonder if it is the legendary and precious ambergris.On the golden lacquered dragon throne in the palace, the current master of the world, Emperor Jianming, sat.

On his right hand sat King Guangping, Zhao Hao and other royal relatives, and on his upper left sat a woman in palace attire with a tall bun and Zhao Yuyi.

It was the first time that Fu Jiao met that woman, but she left a deep impression on her.Gai Yin is a woman with outstanding temperament. She is wearing a dark purple palace dress, luxurious and elegant. She looks to be about the same age as Emperor Jianming, but there is not a trace of wrinkles on her eyebrows and eyes.Fu Jiao took a distant look and saw that this man was surrounded by nobility. Like Emperor Jianming, he was born with a good destiny of being rich, powerful and powerful.

But what...

No matter how good your destiny is, it can't be as good as the one next to her.

Fu Jiao turned her head and glanced at Fu Rudi with a smile.Fu Rudi thought she was greedy, so he silently handed her one of the nut cakes on the table.

Emperor Jianming said some kind words at the beginning, saying that this palace banquet was to welcome Princess Jianing back to the palace and to celebrate the purge of the court.Finally, he clapped his hands to signal the banquet to begin.

A group of beautiful young singers filed in.

After a while, there was the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, and the ministers and emperors drank and talked happily.

Fu Rudi chatted with the colleague next to him for a while. He was afraid that Fu Jiao would be bored, so he even asked her if she was tired from kneeling next to the shorter ones.Fu Jiao shook her head and stuffed a piece of glutinous rice and gold-threaded meat roll into her mouth, indicating that she was not tired at all, even if she knelt for a few more hours, it wouldn't be a problem.

This palace banquet is indeed more delicious than the ones outside!

At this moment, Fu Jiao saw Zhao Yuyi talking to the woman in purple clothes next to her. She rolled her eyes and asked Fu Rudi: "Brother, is that Princess Jianing?"

"Ah."

Fu Rudi said, "Princess Jianing usually lives in Qingyun Temple and rarely returns to the palace."

The eldest princess is eight years older than Emperor Jianming. Emperor Jianming's foundation was unstable when he ascended the throne. It was the eldest princess who helped him clear the obstacles and taught him the talents of governing the country.Therefore, Emperor Jianming had little affection for his brothers, but he had an unusually deep friendship for the eldest princess.

"I see."

Fu Jiao nodded.

She looked up subconsciously, and was about to continue to show Princess Jianing's face, but unexpectedly, the other party also looked directly at her.

Across the crowd, their eyes met.Fu Jiao was stunned, and Princess Jianing was also stunned.

Fu Jiao was puzzled.

She lowered her head, picked up a braised duck leg, and was eating happily. Suddenly Zhou Hai walked up to her and said politely: "Is this Mr. Fu's sister?" Fu Rudi was stunned, "Yes. I should have met Eunuch Zhou before. Pass."

"No, no, this is my first time meeting you. Mr. Fu has outstanding talents, and the girl is also very beautiful."

Fu Jiao was holding the duck leg in her mouth, her mouth was shiny, and she couldn't help but laugh when she heard the compliment.

Zhou Hai praised the two brothers and sisters for their extravagance, and then got to the point: "Just now, the eldest princess saw that Miss Fu is cute, and wanted to invite Miss Fu to come over and talk."

This surprised both Fu Rudi and Fu Jiao.

The eldest princess and Zhao Yuyi both looked at them.

Fu Rudi frowned.

He knew that Zhao Yuyi and Fu Jiao refused to deal with them, so could he file a complaint with the eldest princess?The eldest princess is ready to raise an army to investigate the crime.

Just as he was hesitating whether to shirk or not, Fu Jiao smiled and said, "Okay."

Fu Jiao gave Fu Rudi a reassuring look.

They couldn't refuse the eldest princess's invitation, so they might as well agree readily.With so many people, they wouldn't be willing to chop off Zhao Yuyi's head just because they had a little disagreement with her!
With this mentality, Fu Jiao followed Zhou Hai to the imperial court.

She slowly greeted the eldest princess and Zhao Yuyi, folding her hands, looking well-behaved, polite, humble and gentle.

"Head up."

Princess Jianing's voice is as elegant and gentle as her person.

Fu Jiao did as she was told.

She was wearing rich makeup today, with almond-shaped eyes and beautiful eyebrows, and her skin was as white as jade.Princess Jianing's gaze fell on her cheek for a long time, as if she was thinking about something through her face.After a long time, Zhao Yuyi gently pulled off her sleeves, and then she came back to her senses and nodded with a smile: "She has cheeks full of fresh lychees and a nose greasy with goose fat. She is a rare beauty."

"The eldest princess is so complimentary."

Fu Jiao lowered her eyebrows and looked down upon her eyes.

But she was muttering in her heart, what's going on today, why are so many people coming to praise her?Her brother praised her for her beauty, the eunuch praised her for her beauty, and even the eldest princess, who was used to seeing beauties, also praised her.

After the eldest princess praised Fu Jiao and then Fu Rudi for his reliable work, Fu Jiao answered sweetly and humbly.

This attitude made the eldest princess feel friendly.

Zhao Yuyi had seen her true face, until Fu Jiao was a smiling tiger and she rolled her eyes silently, but when the eldest princess asked, she even said good things to Fu Jiao.

"Yes, aunt, Miss Fu is not only beautiful, but also very kind-hearted. Even though she is a boudoir girl, she is no less knowledgeable than a boy."

The eldest princess nodded: "Well, who says women are inferior to men."

The two of them sang in harmony, and Fu Jiao could only laugh dryly. Her mouth froze after laughing until the eldest princess patted the back of her hand and let her sit back down: "I heard Zhao Fu say that she only has a friend like you outside the palace. She is usually bored in the palace alone, so when you have time, you can go to the palace to spend time with her."

"……Yes."

friend?

Fu Jiao looked at Zhao Yuyi.

It would have been better if the two of them didn't tear each other apart.

She got up and excused herself.

Fu Jiao came to Fu Rudi's side and winked with a smile. When Fu Rudi saw this, he knew it was not a big deal.

The eldest princess looked at the two people whispering intimately and said, "It seems that she has a good relationship with her brother."

"It's more than good."

Zhao Yuyi responded casually, "Fu Rudi loves her very much. The baby must be as beautiful as his eyes."

The eldest princess smiled with a hint of relief, "That's good."
