The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 274
Crown Prince Gu Jinyuan accompanied Emperor Changde and the Empress Dowager to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to the heavens, and invited the tablet of the former Empress back to the Royal Ancestral Hall, and then came to the palace to accept the congratulations of many courtiers.

The scorching sun is like fire, and the golden light shines on the nine-fold palace. Several dragons on the corners of the cornices, with golden scales and armor, are vivid and seem to be going away with the wind.

The palace people came to the Taiji Hall to serve in an orderly manner, holding the glazed cups and bowing their heads.

Outside the hall, on a bronze incense burner with two people hugging each other, there are curls of cigarettes wafting out, which is refreshing.

In the hall, Emperor Changde and the Empress Dowager came slowly and sat down on the main seat.

After Feng Xihe saluted with Feng Junyi, he sat down in his seat and sat quietly like everyone else.

After Gu Jinyuan entered, it seemed that in an instant, the radiance radiated. He saluted Emperor Changde and the Queen Mother, and all the people present stood up and shouted: "Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince on his return to court."

Gu Jinyuan nodded slightly, smiled at everyone, and then went to sit on the seat of Emperor Changde.

Afterwards, Emperor Changde announced the opening of the banquet with a big wave of his hand.

The silk and bamboo orchestral music is in the ears, and the dancers are graceful and graceful, and the lotus is born on the steps.

Many courtiers present have already started to get close to Gu Jinyuan, congratulating him one after another.

The third prince, Gu Jinnian, and Concubine Zhang De were filled with anger. Gu Jinnian was still puzzled. He thought he had recruited a counselor, but how could he become his elder brother overnight?
Moreover, Gu Jinyuan is in the limelight, and now, the officials are afraid that he, the third prince, has long been ignored.

Why did the woman he loves betray him, and the counselors around him also betray him?Gu Jinnian was so depressed that he couldn't understand it, so he drank a few glasses of wine.

Seeing this, Concubine Zhang De frowned, and told the maid beside her: "You used to persuade Jin Nian to take it easy, if you can't bear it, you will make a big mess."

"Yes." The maid walked to Gu Jinnian's side and repeated what Concubine Zhang De had said. Gu Jinnian turned his head and looked at Concubine Zhang De, realizing that he was indeed too impulsive.

After thinking for a while, Gu Jinnian finally held up the wine bottle, put on a smile, and gestured to Gu Jinyuan: "Brother Prince, you have been by my side for so long, but my brother failed to recognize you earlier. For my mistake, Emperor Brother should punish himself with a cup today."

Concubine Zhang De nodded in satisfaction. Gu Jinnian was telling everyone that when Gu Jinyuan was still Ji Shiliu, she had been a counselor by his side.

May I ask a person who knows his identity but doesn't tell his younger brother, but lurks beside his younger brother, shouldn't he have ulterior motives and premeditated plans?

Looking at the faces of the ministers, they really changed.

After hearing this, Gu Jinyuan was not annoyed at all, but smiled back at Gu Jinnian with a cup, "Brother Sanhuang is serious. At that time, Brother Huang was still wearing a sinful body. If I told you directly, you would protect me wholeheartedly. If you don’t report it, won’t it implicate you?”

"Furthermore, Brother Huang knows that you have always been upright, Brother Sanhuang, and that you are sincerely thinking about my state, so Brother Huang will come to you with peace of mind."

Gu Jinnian's face darkened, he poured another glass of wine in embarrassment, and drank it down.

"I heard that the prince's brother has contracted some incurable hidden disease for many years in the folk. There are many rare medicinal materials in the mansion of the emperor. I will send someone to send it to the emperor. I hope it can help the illness of the emperor."

Gu Jinyuan's expression did not change, and he thanked him politely: "It's just a small problem, brother, my body is not precious, and I can bear it, so there is no need for the third brother to waste precious medicinal materials."

Gu Jinnian choked and was almost speechless. He lowered his eyes, saw his face reflected in the drink, and sneered in his heart, "I'm afraid you will die long enough for Ben Gong to deliver you the medicinal ingredients!"
During the back and forth between the two, Concubine Zhang De's expression also changed, and the nails dyed with Kodan almost seemed to dig into her palms.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jinyuan's mouth is so sharp, and the city is so deep. If he can't cut through the mess quickly, Gu Jinnian will be in a complete defeat soon.

Concubine Zhang De's eyes were ruthless, and then, her eyes turned to Feng Xihe as if poisoned, and the resentment in her heart intensified a bit.

Feng Xi and this bitch, it was a waste of trusting her so much, she actually helped Gu Jinyuan and beat him up.

At this time, Feng Xihe seemed to be concentrating on enjoying the singing and dancing, with a slight smile on her lips, turning her head from time to time, chatting with Feng Junyi about how the singing and dancing were.

After a while, she heard a gentle and elegant woman's voice ringing in her ears.

"Princess Yu, Empress Defei has been watching you, be careful."

Feng Xihe turned his face sideways and saw Zhou Xinyan who was not far away from her, with a hint of worry on his brows.

"Thank you Miss Zhou, I will be more careful." Feng Xihe said sincerely.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Zhou Xinyan was relieved.

However, when she thought about the recent events related to Duke Feng's mansion, she still felt a little uneasy when she saw that no one else from Duke Feng's mansion except Feng Junyi and Feng Xihe had appeared today.

Quietly reminded: "Princess Yu, I overheard my father yesterday saying that at the gate of the city that day, someone saw Mrs. Yu throwing a sachet out of the carriage, which distracted Young Master Feng. so that Madam Yu slipped out of the city."

"I don't know the origin of that Madam Yu, but she may have set her sights on Mr. Feng's mansion when she targeted Young Master Feng. You should be careful in everything these days."

"Sachet?" Feng Xihe asked in confusion.

Zhou Xinyan nodded, and then, she took out a purple satin sachet embroidered with orchids from her sleeve, and secretly handed it to Feng Xihe.

"At that time, one of my father's disciples happened to pass by the gate of the city. After he saw Madam Yu's carriage fleeing, Young Master Feng led his men to chase it out. The sachet fell on the ground, so he picked it up. brought it back."

Feng Xihe sniffed the faint orchid-like fragrance in the empty valley, and suddenly understood it.

Madam Yu probably used Mulanyou's whereabouts to distract Feng Junyao so that he could be charged with dereliction of duty and imprisoned, unable to return to command the Imperial Guards in a short time.

However, Madam Yu deliberately wanted to squeeze Feng Junyao and the imperial guards away, and her purpose naturally couldn't be to help Concubine Zhang De and Gu Jinnian.

After thinking for a long time, Feng Xihe's eyes suddenly lit up, and at the same time, her eyes met with Gu Jinyuan's, as if thinking of the same thing.

"Miss Zhou, I'm very glad to meet you." After a while, Feng Xihe said sincerely to Zhou Xinyan.

Zhou Xinyan shyly cast a glance at where Yu Wenhao was, and said softly, "I'm glad to meet you, too."

Feng Xihe looked away, and when he saw Concubine Zhang De, he couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy in his eyes.

Concubine Zhang De became angrier when she saw her looking at her so contemptuously.

Gu Jinnian seemed to have smelled the smell of gunpowder, and then, he stared at Feng Junyi at the right time, and suggested with a smile: "Today is a good day for the prince and brother, why is Young Master Feng here at Duke Feng's mansion?"

"Forget it, it must be that Young Master Feng is still detained in the Ministry of Punishment. Young Master Feng has replaced Mr. Feng's mansion and Ruan Shangshu by himself. If that's the case, what kind of congratulatory gift will Mr. Feng's mansion prepare for the Crown Prince?"

"Congratulatory gift?" Feng Junyi rolled his eyes and said in surprise, "Didn't you give it away?"

Gu Jinnian shook his head and said: "The gift is only one copy. You have replaced Feng Laogong and Ruan Shangshu by yourself, so you have to make up two more copies."

As he said that, he looked at Feng Junyi's extremely embarrassed face, and added: "I see that Young Master Feng, you didn't bring anything else, so I don't want to embarrass you."

"Forget it, I heard that you are very good at dancing with a long tassel spear. Why don't you just choose a few people and let your prince and brother dance a set of spear skills. How about it as a complementary gift?"

Hearing this, Feng Xihe's expression turned cold, and he thought, except for Gu Shiyin, the guards of the palace, and the guards of the palace, no one is allowed to bring sharp weapons such as swords into the palace.Let Feng Junyi dance the gun in public, the possibility of accident is too great.

"Sorry, Your Highness, Third Prince, Jun Yi cannot dance with a spear." Feng Xihe refused on behalf of Feng Junyi, "As for the other two congratulatory gifts, after returning, this concubine will send them along with Jun Yi, and give them to His Royal Highness apologize."

She brushed Gu Jinnian's face in public, causing a sullen look to appear on Gu Jinnian's brows.

Just as Gu Jinnian was about to speak, Feng Junyi already showed his hand that was tucked into his sleeve, "I'm sorry, Cao Min injured his hand while dancing a spear in the mansion a few days ago, I'm afraid I can't hold the long tassel spear..."

I saw Feng Junyi's hands were wrapped in circles of white bandages, and a pair of clear eyes were blinking, looking very wronged.

"Such a coincidence?" Of course Gu Jinnian didn't believe it, "Since Young Master Feng is injured, he should let the imperial doctor come and take a look."

Gu Jinyuan frowned and said, "Third Brother, it's just a congratulatory gift, why be so serious, Young Master Feng is just a child."

After hearing Gu Jinyuan's words, Emperor Changde thought of Feng Junyi's talent as a young man, but now he hurt his hand. He couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and waved his hand: "Forget it, Jinnian, Jinyuan doesn't want to watch the spear dance, and I don't want to watch it either."

After saying those words, Gu Jinnian shut up in disgrace, and Concubine Zhang De almost gritted her silver teeth to pieces.

She suppressed the anger in her heart, lowered her slender eyelashes, and her fingers were trembling.

Not long after, Concubine Zhang De picked up her warm smile, lightly twisted the silver carved jug, and personally poured a glass of wine for Emperor Changde.

Emperor Changde originally wanted to brush it away, but seeing her enthusiasm, he took it and drank it in one gulp.

In the main hall, it seemed that the happy atmosphere had returned, and the singing and dancing remained the same.

And Emperor Changde seemed to feel dizzy for a while, and couldn't help stroking his forehead with his hand.

He insisted on staying in the hall, but his headache got worse and worse. When he looked at the dancer, he could only see a vague figure shaking.

"Your Majesty, why don't the concubines send you back to Longyin Palace to rest first?" Concubine Zhang De said empathetically.

Emperor Changde seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, so he left the Tai Chi Hall first with the help of others.

Concubine Zhang Defei's fancy dress dragged on the floor, followed closely behind, the corners of her lips curled up in an arc.
