Chapter 58 The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet (2)
"Second brother, just stand beside him and let me see which one it is?"

Su Ming glanced at Gu Yu who bowed his head in silence, and then realized that Yiyi wanted to see Gu Yu's fiancé. "Why is it so difficult? Just wait. I'll go right away."

After finishing speaking, he went to the men's seat.Jingyi gently pulled Gu Yu, "Cousin, don't be shy, just look up. Anyway, there are so many people here, how can he notice us?"

Gu Yu raised her head slightly, her cheeks were as red as flames.At this time, Su Ming had already stood beside a young prince wearing a blue brocade robe and a jade crown, with a face like Pan'an.

Gu Yu only took a sneak peek, then lowered his head, Ren Jingyi refused to raise his head no matter how much he persuaded him.

But Jingyi was a child after all, and looked at Yang Haipeng without any consideration.The main hall was brightly lit, and the man's appearance could be seen without any effort.He was tall and slender, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a high nose bridge. He was talking to Su Ming, and he would chuckle from time to time.

Jingyi tiptoed to Gu Yu and said, "Cousin, he's so handsome!"

It's okay if you don't say it, when she said this, Gu Yu blushed immediately, even his neck turned red.Seeing her like this, Jingyi smiled secretly in her heart, seeing that there were many people in the hall, so she stopped teasing her.

As soon as Yang Haipeng entered the palace, he noticed Gu Yu. At this moment, Su Ming, who usually doesn't talk much, came to him to talk to him, so there was nothing he didn't understand.

"The emperor is here! The empress is here!" With a servant singing loudly, everyone knelt down and said: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! The queen is a thousand years old!"

After Emperor Kangzheng took his seat, he raised his right hand lightly and said, "Everyone's family is flat! Sit down!"

Everyone thanked them, and then they went back to their seats and sat down.

The emperor held up the wine glass and said: "Today, on the day of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will hold a special banquet to comfort you all! You don't have to be restrained, just drink freely!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone raised their wine glasses and bowed their heads in the direction of the Emperor in unison, thanking them.The banquet has officially begun.

With the sound of various musical instruments, more than [-] young beauties in pale pink dance clothes were seen slowly approaching the hall.

"Have you heard? That Concubine Lan has been thrown into limbo." A thin voice came.

"I heard about it a long time ago. I thought that Concubine Lan would have to be favored by the emperor for two or three years. Unexpectedly, she was thrown into the cold palace in less than half a year." When a noble lady mentioned Concubine Lan, it was actually His face was full of disdain.

"I heard that I didn't pay attention to diet and daily life, which caused the miscarriage, and instead climbed to the empress. The emperor was wise, but after investigation, it turned out that there was something wrong with the spices she used. The emperor was furious, and then relegated her to the cold palace. "

"Really? I've heard that this person's family background is not high. Presumably, he thought that he was favored and would not take others seriously when he had a dragon heir. That's why he recruited people to assassinate him."

Although these words were not spoken loudly, Jing Yi and Gu Shi could still hear them clearly.Gu looked at the singing and dancing calmly, but there was a little displeasure in her eyes.

Jingyi drank the fruit juice in front of her table, but secretly sighed in her heart, she knew that Concubine Lan's child would not be born safely, but unexpectedly, it would be gone so soon, and she fell out of favor completely!
Jingyi looked towards the center of the hall, these young beauties were carefully selected by the Shangyi Palace, and after many times of training, they had the opportunity to perform in front of the imperial court.Jingyi saw that they were beautiful in both face and figure, and their dancing postures were even more extraordinary. The smiles on the faces of these beauties were just right. Any more would be too contrived, and any less would be too indifferent. Without dancing It can be seen that a lot of painstaking effort has been spent on the charm of the author.

After a dance, everyone clapped their hands and applauded!

Many ministers began to toast to the emperor, and Mrs. Gu, together with several other ladies, also toasted to the queen.

After drinking, the queen asked with a smile: "Mrs. Su, I have heard for a long time that you teach your son well. Your son went out to kill the enemy at the age of 12. He is really a brave, courageous and unparalleled hero!"

Mrs. Gu hurriedly bowed her body and said: "The Empress is absurd. It's not that he is brave, it's just a fluke, he's still too young, a little frivolous and uninhibited!"

The queen smiled and put down the wine glass, "Mrs. Ping Nanhou is too modest. Come to think of it, the person who proposes marriage to your son is about to break through the threshold of the house?"

Gu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "The dog is young, and he doesn't plan to get engaged yet."

Jingyi narrowed her eyes slightly, she was trying to trick her elder brother!He failed to win over his father positively, so he started thinking about getting married.This is the safest alliance!

Jingyi looked in the direction of the queen.I saw the empress's noble and dignified demeanor and beautiful appearance, and the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head was shining brightly against the candlelight.She was dressed in a gorgeous golden phoenix robe, making her even more graceful and luxurious!The phoenix embroidered with red thread on the phoenix robe seems to be singing loudly, and it seems to be leading all living beings to worship the queen!
Because of what happened last time, Jingyi quickly looked away this time, but the queen still noticed Jingyi.

"It's just that I haven't seen her for more than a month, and Qianyuan seems to have grown taller." The queen said with a smile: "Come on, come closer, let me take a closer look."

Jingyi glanced at Gu Shi, and seeing Gu Shi nodding, she lowered her head and leaned over cautiously.

The queen grabbed Jingyi's hand, lifted Jingyi's chin lightly with her right hand, sized her up carefully and said: "Tsk tsk, what a handsome girl, but she is only seven years old, and she is so beautiful. It is even more overwhelming!"

Jingyi lowered her eyes and said softly: "Thank you for your praise. Your daughter's body is as beautiful as a peony. Standing next to your mother, your servant is like a star and a moon. It is naturally dim." Humph!What is the allure of the country?It's almost like saying that I'm a witch who is a disaster for the country!Seeing that there is no hope for my brother, do you want to hit me?
Although Jingyi's voice was not loud, it was heard clearly by the emperor sitting beside the queen.A smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he turned to Jingyi and said, "That's right! Well said! The queen is the mother of the world, and Peony is known as the king of flowers! You girl can talk!"

The queen was originally annoyed by Jingyi's words, why is she so beautiful?How can anyone praise the queen like this?She is obviously very unfavorable in the harem, if it weren't for the influence of her natal family, I am afraid that the position of queen would have changed hands long ago!
The queen was angry, but the emperor praised her for being able to speak, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't blame her on the spot, otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing to the emperor!
The smile on the queen's face remained undiminished, she just held Jingyi's hand tightly, "Good boy, you are indeed the daughter of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion! You know, your mother was a well-known talented woman in Beijing before she left the cabinet. I don't know how your child compares to your mother's back then?"
