Chapter 115 Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion, even the royal family is no exception.And this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor was in a good mood, so he announced all the members of the royal family into the palace.Even the elderly Princess Wuyi came to the palace to join in the fun.

In the early morning there was a slight noise nearby, Shen Changle opened his eyes.The sun is shining outside, even through the gauze curtain.

Ji Yu was sitting on the edge of the bed, and the gauze curtain was only opened at the other end.He was wearing a white jacket, and his long black hair hung down his shoulders.He was raising his hand to call the servant girl over, but before he raised his head, he felt his skirt being pulled down.

Before he turned his head, a smile was already on his face, "Are you awake?"

After he turned his head, Shen Changle put his hands on his eyes, and snorted delicately with his nose, his voice was soft and waxy, "It's dazzling."

She was just acting like a baby, but now she is going to enter the palace, so it is inevitable that she has to get up early.One must know that since she got married, except for the first three days because she was going to enter the palace and go back to her mother's house, the rest of the time she slept until she was full before getting up.After all, she is the master of the house, even if she sleeps until the sun is high, no one will speak.

So it was a bit uncomfortable for her to wake up so early.

"Since you don't think about it, just sleep for a while," Ji Yu leaned over her and whispered in her ear.

Shen Changle pouted immediately, and said helplessly: "How can that be done, I will go to the palace to see my mother and concubine later."

Ji Yu knew that she was afraid of concubine De's censure, so she couldn't help feeling sorry for this poor little girl, and scratched the tip of her nose with her fingers.He said softly, "Do you want me to pick you up?"

"Okay," Shen Changle was just being coquettish, holding his neck with both hands, smiling a little happily.

But how would you know, the man who was leaning over at first immediately hugged her up, and the brocade quilt slipped down, she was only wearing a thin undershirt, and she couldn't help shrinking back into his arms.When she looked to the side, she realized that the servant girl was already standing in the room.

Ji Yu has always disliked people disturbing the two of them, so at night, the maids are always on duty in the second room outside.Shen Changle originally thought that there were only the two of them in the room, that's why she acted like a baby with him.This will be watched by the maids, she couldn't help her face dry, she patted his chest lightly, and said angrily: "If you don't let me down, let people see, it's not a joke."

"It was you who asked me to lift you up just now, and now you're blaming me again," Ji Yu hugged her with both hands, with a slight smile on his face, the originally peaceful person suddenly became a little flirtatious.

Shen Changle felt that there must be something hidden in this room that she didn't know, otherwise He Ji Yu seemed to be a different person when he came in.The person who has always been cold, did all kinds of tricks to make her shame almost explode.Every smile has a romantic and freehand taste.

But when he was outside, he still looked cold and serious.Going out, who doesn't secretly give a compliment, as worthy of being Prince Zhao, his demeanor is extraordinary.

"It's all your fault anyway," she said coquettishly, stretching out her slender hand to his chest.

Ji Yu had no choice but to twitch the corner of his mouth, "What the lady says, that's what it is."

The maid at the side naturally listened to the conversation between the husband and wife, Lu Wu couldn't help lowering her head long ago, and the maid beside Ji Yu had already changed from being shocked and unbelievable to being surprised now. Strange.Since the prince had the concubine, he has really refreshed their cognition time and time again.

The two quarreled for a while, and then Ji Yu put her down gently.Ji Yu called the servant girl over to help him change his clothes.And when he was washing up, Shen Changle chose the clothes.Because today is a festival, she also wears brightly colored clothes, even the embroidery on her clothes is made of butterflies wearing flowers. If you look carefully, you can see butterflies with different expressions on the clothes, and the butterflies are also dotted with gold thread and silver. Wire.

"Why don't you wait for me to go down to court before entering the palace?" Ji Yu thought for a while and said.

Shen Changle was sitting in front of the vanity mirror at this time, she looked back at him, blinked her eyes playfully, "I know the prince loves me the most."

How could she not know, Ji Yu said that, just because she was afraid that Concubine De would embarrass her.But other people enter the palace early, if she really passes by that time, I'm afraid that the face of the concubine mother will not be able to look at it.

"I happened to go over to talk with Concubine Mu, Concubine Mu really likes to talk with me now," Shen Changle said with a shy face.In fact, most of the relationship between her and Concubine De was that she flattered Concubine De, and when Concubine De congratulated her, she just replied, and when Concubine De did not honor her, she was the only one talking stupidly.

Although she didn't get any good looks from Concubine De, Concubine De would not punish her casually, let alone make her kneel for an hour like in her previous life.Even Shen Changle sighed in his heart, being a daughter-in-law is still different from being a concubine.Although she had a high status in her previous life, she was just a concubine of her son in front of the Queen Mother.

But in this life, she is the wife Ji Yuming is marrying, Princess Zhao.So even if Concubine De didn't like her from the bottom of her heart, in order to maintain the relationship between mother and child, she still wouldn't make things difficult for Shen Changle.

After the husband and wife had a little breakfast, they went out hand in hand.It's just that this time Ji Yu rode a horse into the palace, while Shen Changle rode there in a carriage.

When she was about to board the car, Ji Yu couldn't help whispering comforting words in her ear: "As soon as I go to court, I'll go over to find you right away."

Although he knew what he meant, he still couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, my concubine won't eat me."

Ji Yu glared at her lightly, obviously feeling that she didn't know good people.Shen Changle saw that his stinginess was coming up again, and said quickly: "Go to court quickly, it's not good if it's too late."

The two pushed each other again, and finally Shen Changle watched him ride away.

After she entered the palace, when she arrived at Defei's Palace, there was a maid leading her in.After entering the inner hall, she saw Concubine De with her back to the door, standing in front of the glass fish tank, sprinkled fish food into the fish tank.

Shen Changle looked at the koi swimming in the clear water, and knew that Ji Ting caught De Fei himself.Although Concubine De was still afraid that he would be in danger, she reprimanded him a lot.But after all, it was the heart of the precious son, so she didn't know how precious she was to this tank of koi.

"Greetings to Concubine Mother," Shen Changle walked behind her, leaning over to pay his respects.

Concubine De threw away the last bit of fish food in her hand, then turned around unhurriedly, looked down at her, and said calmly: "Get up."

The maid next to her hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped her palms.Concubine De walked to Shen Changle's side, without slowing down, she went straight to the Arhat bed in front.Naturally, Shen Changle would not wait for her to call him, and automatically and consciously followed.

"I don't know what kind of blessings that koi gained in the previous life, but now it is taken care of so well by the concubine mother," Shen Changle said with a smile on his face, knowing that he had nothing to say, but he still had to show a calm look.

She didn't know the attitude of Concubine Dao towards her before, when she came to her palace, she was afraid that talking too much would offend her.But after coming down two times, she understood that if she didn't find something to say, she should never expect Concubine De to take the initiative to talk to her.

Although occasionally chatting with other concubines, she was really in an indescribable mood when she heard them call each other intimate.

Now she is actually looking forward to Ji Ting's quick marriage, if it is his princess, I am afraid that Concubine De will not be willing to be left out in the cold.

Concubine De just glanced at her indifferently as she had imagined, but did not speak to her.But she didn't speak, but Shen Changle had to speak, so she said something else.Fortunately, Concubine De was in a good mood today, and she even talked to her later.

Because the palace banquet was at night, Shen Changle had to stay in Concubine De's palace all day long.

At noon, Ji Yu brought Ji Ting over.Concubine De saw the two brothers, with their indifferent and beautiful faces, she would also smile like a flower.Especially when Ji Ting was talking, her eyes were full of warmth, and her deep licking was affectionate, even if she didn't speak, the air would circulate.

So Shen Changle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Concubine De kept Ji Yu and Ji Ting to eat in her palace, Shen Changle wanted to avoid Ji Ting because of Ji Ting.Unexpectedly, Concubine De said flatly: "They are all from my own family, there are no such big rules, let's all sit down."

So Shen Changle obediently sat down beside Ji Yu.

After lunch, Ji Ting accompanied Concubine De to walk outside for a while, then she went to rest.

No one cared about Shen Changle, but Ji Ting insisted on dragging Ji Yu to the archery competition, so she looked at Ji Yu eagerly.

"Sister-in-law Qi, you rest here first, we'll be back when we go," Ji Ting saw Brother Seven and was glanced at by his sister-in-law, he didn't want to leave, and immediately became anxious.

Shen Changle naturally knows the necessity of uniting with his brother-in-law, besides this brother-in-law is still De Fei's heart.So she had no choice but to say firmly: "My lord, let's go with the ninth brother to relax. Don't worry about me, I am at home in the palace of my mother and concubine."

When she said this, she had a smile on her face, which was called a generous and decent person.

Ji Yu looked at her small appearance, secretly smiled in his heart, and said, "Then I will go with my ninth brother?"

"Go, go, play for a while, anyway, the palace banquet is still early today," Shen Changle waved his hands, with a considerate look watching them leave.

Ji Ting was also afraid that Ji Yu would regret it, so he hurriedly pulled him, and said anxiously: "Seventh brother, not only let's go to play this time, but I heard that fourth brother and fifth brother are here."

"I'll ask someone to take you to the back hall for a rest. Don't you always have the habit of taking a lunch break at home?" Unexpectedly, the more anxious Ji Ting was, the less anxious Ji Yu was, and he wanted someone to serve Shen Changle to take a nap things.

When Ji Ting heard that he even asked about such a small matter, he was shocked, but forgot to continue urging him.

After Ji Yu called Yue Xin, the maid next to Concubine De, to come over, and asked her to lead Shen Changle to the back hall to rest.Yue Xin hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty just told the servants about this, so the prince thought of this. The servants will wait for the princess to rest in the back hall."

Ji Yu didn't follow them to the apse, but just stood there, watching Shen Changle leave.After her figure disappeared completely, Ji Ting asked angrily: "Brother Seven, can we go now?"

Ji Yu smiled, turned and walked out.

Ji Ting took two steps quickly, and beside him, he said with some doubts: "Seventh brother, I always feel that you have changed now."

"What changed?" Ji Yu was in a good mood, it was rare to chat with him like this.

As soon as Ji Ting heard him talk, he immediately regained his energy and talked eloquently: "I think Seventh Brother, you have become more talkative now, and it's a little, a little..."

He glanced at Ji Yu carefully, obviously he didn't dare to say it out, but what he wanted to say was that he felt that Ji Yu had become popular now, he used to be deserted, although he looked expensive He is gracious, but he is not that close to people.But now, his whole person seems to be different.

As a result, before he finished speaking, Ji Yu glanced at him indifferently, and that glance made Ji Ting look down on him, and the whole person was shocked.

Sure enough, Seventh Brother is still Seventh Brother, but he will become a different person in front of Seventh Sister-in-law.

"When you get married in the future, you will know," Ji Yu didn't want to teach him.

Ji Ting walked beside him, thoughtful, getting married?

Shen Changle was a light sleeper in the palace, so when there was a little noise outside, she opened her eyes.After she got up, she called out, and saw a little maid came in through the door. Seeing that she had woken up, she hurriedly said: "Princess, sister Yuexin sent a servant to serve you."

"Can you comb your hair?" Shen Changle sat on the couch and asked her with a smile.

The little maid nodded and walked over.After she combed it, she found a target mirror from nowhere, Shen Changle took a look at it in her hand, and said with a smile: "Your hand is really good, you are worthy of being a person in the palace, you comb your hair really well. .”

What Shen Changle said was not against her will, this little palace maid combed her hair really well, but she completely restored her hair style in the morning, and Shen Changle also felt that she combed her hair better than he did in the morning.

So she asked again: "Who did you learn the skill of combing your hair from? It's really good."

The little maid said a name, but Shen Changle turned her head to look at her in surprise, the person she said was the nanny who is helping Concubine De comb her hair now.Unexpectedly, this little maid was actually her apprentice, no wonder she was so ingenious, it turned out that a famous teacher gave birth to an excellent apprentice.

It's just that she was careful, wondering why Yuexin sent her here.So when she was in front of Concubine De, she didn't take the initiative to mention the little maid who combed her hair.

On the contrary, Concubine De stared at her hair several times, as if she had something to say to her.Shen Changle's heart trembled, and he simply pretended not to see her eyes.If she asked a question, I'm afraid that the concubine mother would reward her with this little maid.Although she didn't know what her purpose was, Shen Changle still didn't want to take this trip.

So until the time when she went out to the palace banquet, Concubine De was a little bit depressed.

Fortunately, when we arrived at the place where the palace banquet was held, the female relatives were all sitting and talking in the next room because no one had arrived.The eldest princess of Wuyi came early this time, but Concubine Rong came early and was talking with the eldest princess.

But when Concubine De led Shen Changle in, the people in the room looked over one after another.

Shen Changle looked at the two clearly separated sides of the room. Concubine Rong was sitting on the left, while Concubine Shu, the second prince's biological mother, was sitting on the other side.Since she married in, this was the first time she saw Concubine Shu. As for why she knew each other, it was also because the second concubine was standing behind her.

Concubine Shu is a delicate beauty, even though she is old, she still has charming eyes.As for the concubine De beside Shen Changle, she has a cold and noble air on her body, and she has always felt that the coldness on Ji Yu's body is just like a concubine De.

Every time Concubine De didn't speak, her heart would tremble.

"Sister De Concubine is here," Concubine Shu called her, but her body didn't move, obviously she didn't intend to get up.

Meanwhile, Concubine Rong chuckled lightly, and said unwillingly: "My sister is late for the meeting, we have been talking for a while."

Concubine De came in, and after she sat down, she said calmly: "There are two elder sisters in charge of the overall situation, so it doesn't matter if I come or not."

What the three of them said was polite, and they all had warm smiles on their faces, but in their hearts, they were all smiling.Fortunately, after a while, the atmosphere in the room became harmonious again. Everyone was talking and laughing, which was a harmonious scene.

But the third princess who was sitting on the other side ran over and took the initiative to talk to Shen Changle.

Shen Changle naturally did not neglect the little princess, and without knowing what to say, the third princess mentioned the Double Ninth Festival.She was stunned for a moment, it was only the Dragon Boat Festival, and Her Royal Highness was already thinking about the Double Ninth Festival.

The third princess smiled and asked: "Sister-in-law Seven, I heard that the students of the women's school will climb high and look far away during the Double Ninth Festival. What was it like when you were in the academy?"

Before the princess is married, she rarely has the opportunity to leave the palace.So she is curious about the outside world, Shen Changle is not surprised.What puzzled her was that the serious sister-in-law of the third princess, the fifth prince concubine, was also a girl who graduated from a girls' school, and compared to her, a dropout, the fifth prince concubine graduated only after finishing her education.Why didn't she ask the fifth prince and concubine, instead she asked herself?
It's not to blame for Shen Changle's thinking like this, but it's just that everyone in this palace is a genius, if she is a little stupid, she might be tricked in some way.

So she said truthfully: "I don't know either. If Third Sister really wants to know, I'm afraid she will have to ask other sister-in-laws."

As she said that, she showed an embarrassed expression, "Third sister doesn't know, I haven't even completed a year in the girls' school."

"How could this be?" The third princess covered her mouth, as if she was extremely surprised, and looked at her with innocent and dewy eyes.

Only then did Shen Changle realize that she was trying to make herself look bad.

She couldn't help but the last time she came into the palace, the third princess was still holding her hand, making out with the third sister-in-law one by one, and even said that she would be a guest at Prince Zhao's mansion.How did this change its face again?
How can this boat of friendship turn over at any time?
