Empress has purpose

Chapter 21 First Meeting
Not long after continuing to chat with the eldest princess, a court lady reported that the banquet was about to start, and the queen empress sent someone to inform.

The eldest princess stood up with a smile, and Gu Yunxi also stood up, and went to the palace where the banquet was held in a sedan chair.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, a eunuch reported loudly: "His Royal Highness the Princess has arrived, and County Lord Ronghua has arrived."

At the same time, the two have stepped into the main hall one after another. When they reached the hall, almost everyone has arrived, but the emperor and the prince have not yet arrived. Only the queen and a few concubines are sitting in the first few seats. After saluting , the eldest princess sat down on the first seat, and Gu Yunxi walked back to her seat and sat down quietly.

The hall is resplendent and magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings. There is no partition, and it is only supported by eight giant red pillars that can be embraced by a few people. The walls and pillars are engraved with complicated patterns, which are colorful, colorful and magnificent. This is the Dali calendar. The palace commonly used for holding banquets can accommodate 400 people for drinking at night. It is called Yiyuan Hall.

As soon as Gu Yunxi sat down on her seat, she felt two or three eyes staring at her all the time. She lowered her head, pursed her lips lightly, and looked up at the place where her eyes were located.

The folk customs in Dali are quite enlightened, so there is no need to separate the male and female seats. Gu Yunxi sat in the female seat on the left, and the male seat was opposite. She felt that there were three eyes looking at her, but she could only judge two places, and the other was not. I don't know.

She looked up and met the gaze of the last person, who was sitting on the desk with a idly expression, holding a fruit in his hand, and was tossing it up and down boredly. Dodging, he only hooked the corner of his lips, and looked at her with a half-smile.

Gu Yunxi's cheeks turned red unnaturally, she quickly turned her eyes away, and looked at another place, where a man in a purple and gold robe was sitting, who was the protagonist of this banquet, the emperor's new Prince Yu, Fengzi Yu .

He held an exquisite white jade bottle in his hand, and seeing Gu Yunxi looking at him, he lightly raised the wine glass.

He is the fourth son of the current emperor Feng Wenhe. Feng Ziyu's mother was born as a court lady with a low status. Feng Ziyu was conferred the title of Concubine Yun only after giving birth to Feng Ziyu. Feng Ziyu died of illness when he was eight years old. Ziyu has never been favored by the emperor. Three years ago when the south of the Yangtze River was flooded, he asked for an order to go, and the emperor approved. After he came back, he was named Prince Yu because of it.

But Gu Yunxi knew that some things changed from here.

Gu Yunxi lowered her head so that people could not see her expression clearly at this time. When she raised her head again, the smile on the corner of her mouth became a bit stronger. She smiled at that person, then turned her eyes away, and searched around. Apart from noticing that his father and elder brother were not there, he found nothing unusual, so he lowered his head again and sat quietly.

It didn't take long before she felt that the corner of her skirt was being gently pulled. She turned her head and looked, only to find that there was a little girl sitting beside her, about seven or eight years old, very cute, with a round apple face , there are two symmetrical dimples on her cheeks, her skin is fair, and she looks very cute. At this moment, her chubby little hands are still holding the corner of her skirt. Gu Yunxi lowered her head and motioned her to take a look. open.

Who is this guy?How come I've never seen it before? Gu Yunxi stared at her in surprise, and the little girl also stared at her with a sweet smile.

After a while, Gu Yunxi came back to her senses, turned her head and sat quietly again, the little girl stared at Gu Yunxi in disbelief, isn't she curious about herself?

Thinking like this, he blurted out unconsciously: "Sister, don't you ask me who I am?"

Gu Yunxi turned her head to look at her, with crooked smiles: "If I ask you, will you tell me?"

The little girl curled her lips, lowered her head in frustration, rubbed the corner of her skirt, and muttered, "Then you should ask, and I'll tell you."

Gu Yunxi looked at her helplessly, and said with a smile, "Then tell me who you are?"

The little girl immediately rolled her eyes with a smile, and said excitedly, "I'm Feng Linger, and the one sitting opposite is my brother."

When Gu Yunxi heard that her surname was Feng, her face became a little weird, and her eyes became more puzzled. She looked in the direction her chubby little hand pointed, but her eyes widened in surprise, because she pointed The direction of her was the person she looked at first, the son of Prince Yan—Feng Changhao.

She is Feng Changhao's younger sister?

At this moment, Gu Yunxi was really shocked, why did her sister come here?This is something that has never happened in the previous life. You must know that Feng Changhao's identity is very special.

The Feng family is the royal surname of Dali, and the King Yan family is also the royal family. Feng Changhao is still Feng Ziyu's cousin, but his status is not as good as that of the prince born to Feng Ziyu, a court lady.

The ancestor emperor of Dali sealed off his army and horses all his life, and established the Dali Dynasty. His wife, who fought side by side with him to open up the prosperous age of Dali, is the legendary figure of Dali. Empress Xiao, that is a magnificent woman. She was sought after by all the people, but God was unfair to her. In the spring of the second year after the founding of the country, the ancestor emperor fell ill and passed away quietly, leaving only a child who had just turned five years old. Chang Hao's great-grandfather, the first King of Yan named Nan Xiao.

Empress Xiao died young, and the powerful family of the Empress Dowager also gave birth to a boy. Under pressure, Feng Jue made him the crown prince, who is the grandfather of the current emperor.

However, Feng Nanxiao, the son of the former empress, was excluded everywhere. In order to keep this child, the ancestor emperor named him King Yan when he was seriously ill, and gave the largest and most fertile piece of land in Dali to him. Feng Nanxiao was made a fief, and an imperial decree was issued to prevent him from returning to the capital forever. This also included a gold medal that could protect the lives of the royal family of Yanjing from death.

Many years have passed in this way, the current emperor ascended the throne, the new emperor was very worried about the hidden danger of King Yan, and issued three imperial decrees in succession, asking Feng Changhao's father to Feng Rong, and bringing his son Feng Changhao back to Shunjing, the capital of the country, and then took the opportunity to Feng Changhao was detained as a hostage, and only King Yan was released to go back. Feng Changhao was only seven years old at the time, and now it is his tenth year in Shunjing.

Gu Yunxi still remembers the first time she met Feng Changhao, she was only five years old at that time, Feng Changhao was eight years old, and he had been in Shunjing for a year. At that time, he was very indifferent to others and almost never talked to others When people talk, at the beginning, I really hated him, because he ignored me and always had a cold face, but since when did he become a little different?
Gu Yunxi couldn't help thinking about it, but she couldn't remember it anymore. She only remembered that in the next few days, Feng Changhao started to like to tease him, and he always had a playful smile on his face, but in this way, he hated him even more.

If it wasn't for those things that happened later, maybe she would always hate Feng Changhao.

Gu Yunxi came back to her senses, glanced at Feng Changhao thoughtfully, then turned her head to look at the little girl beside her, as far as she knew, King Yan had only one daughter, and that was the sister of Feng Changhao's compatriot .

The emperor has detained Feng Changhao as a proton, don't you feel relieved?
