Absolutely love the prosperous princess

Chapter 23 Prelude to the Palace Banquet
After dinner with my grandmother, when I returned to Youruo Pavilion, I saw Yuchun guarding the door with a woman, apparently waiting for me. The woman had already changed into a green dress, with a simple bun, With a delicate face and a slender figure, she is a clean and refreshing woman.

The woman was about to kneel down when she saw Lin Yiyue, but was stopped by Lin Yiyue and walked towards the room: "Go back to the room and talk."

Went to the room, sat down on the rug, stared at the woman and said softly, "Speak, what I want to hear is the truth."

The woman knelt down with a bit of pain: "My name is Chu Qingyin. I was originally the daughter of the castle master of the Chu family. It was because my uncle wanted to occupy my father's position as the castle master and killed my parents and brothers. Only I was killed by my mother." I escaped only by hiding under the bed, and I escaped from the castle overnight, and have been wandering here and there by myself for a year now."

After hearing this, Lin Yiyue said calmly: "You want revenge? It's impossible to do it on your own."

Chu Qingyin didn't know that these were the facts: "I will wait, now I just ask Miss to take me in, I won't cause trouble for Miss!" she looked anxious.

Lin Yiyue looked at the woman in front of her, she was a smart person, and said softly, "If you have anything to ask Yuchun, you can stay!"

Chu Qingyin wept with joy, smiled and nodded at Lin Yiyue.

In the study room of Prince Yu's Mansion, Che Chongyu, who was dressed in light purple, was sitting behind the desk writing, with a serious expression, and his obsidian-like pupils were a little restless.

Mo Yan pushed away from the door and walked in, looking at Che Chongyu who was sitting calmly and indifferently behind the desk, he said anxiously: "My lord, the palace banquet is about to start, the emperor has already sent someone to urge you."

I didn't get any words from Cha Chongyu, only the rustle of his writing.

Ever since he came back from a serious internal injury that day, he refused to take a good rest. These days Che Chongyu has kept himself very busy, or just kept silent. Mo Yan and the others were very anxious, and suddenly their hearts lit up: "My lord, Miss Lin has already set off."

Che Chongyu finally stopped holding the pen and raised his head, his voice was a little hoarse: "Get ready, I'm leaving now."

Lin Yiyue was specially invited by Eunuch Li. Originally, she was not going to attend the palace banquet.Lin Yiyue was dressed in a light blue dress, fresh and natural. As soon as her aunt got off the carriage when she arrived at the palace, she saw countless carriages from various prefectures parked in front of the palace gate. Getting off the carriage, he saw Lin Yiyue at a glance. Qin Haowen took a deep look at Lin Yiyue and nodded to her.

Everyone at the gate of the palace looked at the woman in plain clothes and plain face, and felt like a fairy in the forest floating here.

The palace banquet was arranged in the imperial garden. At this time, the lanterns were first lit. As soon as you walked in, you could see the beautiful glass lanterns swaying with the wind. On the huge green lake, all kinds of lanterns were shining, which was beautiful.

Qin Lian pulled Lin Yiyue and walked in, only to see twos and threes chatting happily together, only to hear the gentle voice of Princess Jingwen: "Lian'er, here."

Qin Lian heard someone calling her to hold Lin Yiyue's hand and walked over. Lin Yiyue looked up and saw He Yuying, Lin Qinglian, and a woman in a peony-colored gauze dress standing there, with an expression of Proud, full of self-confidence, a noble woman covered in red hairpins, surrounded by other women who looked at her enviously.

Qin Lian walked over and tugged at Lin Yiyue's hand, winked at her, and bowed to the woman: "My daughter, see Princess Xuefeng."

An arrogant and bright voice: "Ms. Qin, who is this lady next to you? I have never seen it before."

Lin Yiyue knew that she was talking about, so she also bent slightly: "Lin Yiyue has seen the princess."

"Oh, I know who you are." He glanced at Lin Yiyue arrogantly and disdainfully.

Seeing that the princess was about to make trouble, Princess Jingwen smiled lightly and said to the princess: "The princess's dress today is really more beautiful than the peonies in the imperial garden, and she will definitely overwhelm the crowd at the palace banquet!"

Princess Xuefeng's proud face was filled with brilliance in an instant, she was charming and smiling, her pink face was full of spring, her eyes were full of admiration, her expression was far away, she must have thought of something.

"Princess, is the empress looking for you?" A green-clothed palace lady walked towards this side.

"I'm going right now." The shyness on her face still glared at Lin Yiyue before turning around.

The other noble girls also dispersed when the princess left. Princess Jingwen turned to look at Lin Yiyue and said softly, "I will call you Yiyue just like Lian'er. Princess Xuefeng is the queen's favorite daughter. So proud that even the emperor dotes on her."

Lin Yiyue knew in her heart that the Queen's faction would target her, but she was curious about Princess Jingwen's attitude towards her, and she was trying to explain her doubts.

Looking up at her with a faint smile: "Thank you!"

In a corner not far away, Xu Ruyun was staring at Lin Yiyue with a calm expression. She never expected that the little girl back then would grow up to be as attractive as she is now. She must not be allowed to steal Lian Er's limelight. Appointing King Xiang as a side concubine, and then climbing up to the other three lords for Lian Er, she will be rich and prosperous in her life, even if the lowly girl comes back alive, she will never get anything.

After a while, a eunuch father-in-law came and said loudly that the palace banquet had begun, and everyone was invited to sit down.

Lin Yiyue had already returned to her aunt, and saw a big golden dragon chair on the high platform of the jade steps, with an empty seat on the right, and several seats on the second jade step, obviously reserved for the prince and other countries. The envoys, King Xiang, King Yun, and King Feng had already taken their seats, but Che Chongyu was still missing, and behind them were the officials and family members of the court.

Everyone took their seats according to their identities. Lin Yiyue just sat down beside her aunt when she heard her father-in-law shout: "The emperor is here, the queen is here!"

The majestic and magnetic voice of Emperor Yongsheng came: "Stay flat, go, and see if the envoys from various countries have arrived." He asked Eunuch Li beside him.

"Prince Daling Guochen and Princess Yunhua have arrived"

Everyone looked outside, only to see Jun Tianchen dressed in blue clothes like water, with a noble and handsome face full of smiles walking in front, followed by Princess Yunhua, who was dressed in a formal yellow dress and noble Tsinghua, approaching the jade steps, Jun Tianchen bowed slightly to the Emperor Yong to salute: "Tianchen and his sister pay respects to the Emperor Yongsheng"

A smile appeared on Yongsheng Emperor's majestic face: "Prince Chen is excused, please take your seat." Princess Yunhua also bowed and took her seat.

Lin Yiyue looked up and happened to see Princess Xuefeng, only to see that her face was infinitely shy, and she was mad at Jun Tianchen, a red heart was about to jump out of her body, obviously the heart belonged to him.

"King Hua of Tianqi Kingdom and Princess Qionglin have arrived"

When everyone heard about Tianqi Kingdom, they thought of Lord Yu. The battle five years ago caused heavy losses to both countries. Lord Tianqi Ren Xiongyang was the emperor's younger brother, and he personally commanded the battle. In the end, he was defeated by Che Chongyu. Cheng was seriously injured. Thinking of this, I saw a girl in pink followed by Ren Haohua and bowed to Emperor Yongsheng one by one: "Haohua brings his sister to see Emperor Yongsheng"

Emperor Yongsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him: "Why didn't you see King Yang this time?"

Ren Haohua's eyes flickered slightly and he smiled: "Before coming, Uncle Yang's old injury suddenly relapsed, so my father sent Haohua here, please forgive me!"

"Oh, the old injury has recurred, then King Yang has to take care of himself, take a seat." Emperor Yongsheng's voice was a little low, and the ministers below were sweating a little when they heard his emperor's words.

Ren Haohua bent slightly before walking towards his seat.

"Prince Zhao and Princess Ruying of Xiyue Kingdom have arrived"

Xiyue Kingdom is the smallest country among the four countries. It belongs to the sea and is also the richest country.

Lin Yiyue raised her eyes and saw Zhao Jianfeng, who was dressed in brocade clothes, and Princess Ruying, who was petite and exquisite in light gauze and soft skirt, walked slowly to the jade steps and saluted: "Jianfeng and Ruying pay homage to Emperor Yongsheng."

Emperor Yongsheng responded with a smile, lowered his head to Eunuch Li and asked, "Li Zi, is everyone here?"

The smile on Eunuch Li's face froze a bit: "Everyone has arrived, except King Yu."

The smile on Yongsheng Emperor's face gradually receded, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a voice from a distance: "King Yu is here!"

I saw a light purple brocade dress, a tall figure, a poetic and picturesque handsome face, obsidian-like pupils like deep pools, as eye-catching as the clouds in the sky, and all the women present immediately blushed; The dark clouds on the emperor's face finally dissipated, and he smiled again, looking at his son walking towards him with a happy expression, and said in a relaxed tone, "Yu'er, you are the only one missing, sit down quickly!"

Che Chongyu nodded slightly, and looked at Jun Tianchen, sparks flew everywhere.

Hearing Emperor Yongsheng's words, the queen almost changed her face and tried to suppress it. King Xiang wanted to vomit blood even more. He dared to appear after his father and still go unpunished. His father is so eccentric, it is really hateful!An Ruoxian, Princess Xiang, who was sitting beside her, looked deeply at Che Chongyu, as if she wanted to keep him firmly in her heart, her eyes were like water.

Che Chongyu followed Mo Yan and walked slowly towards the only vacant seat, watching the slowly approaching, princesses and ladies all brushing their clothes and hair, fearing that there would be some disrespect, Lin Yiyue Raising her head and scanning around, Princess Yunhua of Da Ling Kingdom looked at that man with infatuated eyes, sighing in her heart, what a monster, what a crime to seduce!

Princess Jingwen also looked there, but she was looking at Mo Yan who was smiling happily. Does she like Mo Yan!It's really inconceivable that a woman as gentle and polite as her would actually like Mo Yan who thinks she is chic and romantic.

Lin Yiyue finally stopped her eyes on Che Chongyu, but he didn't even look over the corner of his eyes, so he could only look down at the food in front of him. There were chicken drumsticks, barbecue meat, and broth, but there was nothing suitable for her to eat. Turning her gaze into the distance, she pretended not to see Jun Tianchen's gaze that always came over her.

After a while, I saw a father-in-law leading two maids coming, removed all the dishes in front of Lin Yiyue's table, and replaced them with fresh vegetarian food, and they were all the ones Lin Yiyue often ate. Che Chongyu, but only saw his profile.

There are a thousand people in the entire imperial garden, and at a glance, the black and dense area is full of human heads. Everyone is well-dressed, happy, and full of gold and jade.

Next to each table, there are well-dressed court ladies waiting, and the eunuchs and eunuchs shuttle back and forth, creating a prosperous scene.The imperial garden is bustling with people, so lively!

At this time, Emperor Yongsheng waved his hand in a happy mood: "Since everyone is here, let's start the banquet!"

As soon as the table was opened, Eunuch Li waved his hand, and several dancers, dressed in light gauze and with slender waists and lotus steps, rushed out in unison, and in an instant there was the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing gracefully.

The maids hurriedly added wine to the noblemen's dishes, and the entire imperial garden suddenly swept away the silence just now, and became lively.

In a short while, it will rise to a scene of singing and dancing, peace and prosperity.

Envoys from various countries competed to toast and speak to Emperor Yongsheng.

I saw the Queen happily talking to Yongsheng Emperor beside him: "Your Majesty, today the princesses and ladies from all the prefectures have prepared their talents, why not start now."

Emperor Yongsheng drank a few glasses of wine, the smile on his face became stronger, and he waved his hand: "Okay, let's start!"

The daughters of the various prefectures below also immediately started to prepare, and everyone was both excited and nervous.

"Father, my son wants to perform a dance for father." Princess Xuefeng immediately stood up, and glanced at Jun Tianchen's position. The look was still half-finished, and the queen looked at her daughter's beautiful face. Smile even more.

Emperor Yongsheng was obviously in a great mood and laughed and said, "Okay, sure."

Apparently, Princess Xuefeng put a lot of effort into her dance. She has a slender waist and small steps, with twists and turns, and her dancing posture is graceful. The little girl is full of style. Rotating, turning faster and faster, dancing like a butterfly with wings spread.

After the dance, Princess Xuefeng was a little out of breath and raised her eyes to look at Jun Tianchen, but the man was drinking his drink and didn't look at her, feeling a little disappointed.

At this moment, Princess Yunhua stood up and bowed to Emperor Yongsheng with a light smile and said, "Your Majesty, Yunhua is willing to present a song for His Majesty to cheer everyone up."

After Princess Yunhua finished speaking, the Queen put her head in her head and nodded: "I heard that Princess Yunhua is the most talented woman in the Daling Kingdom, and her piano skills must be extraordinary!"

Princess Yunhua moved lightly with lotus steps, and the maid behind her hugged the qin and placed it gently on the table. Princess Yunhua walked slowly to the front of the table, sitting gracefully and dignifiedly. Qianqian’s ten fingers touched the strings, and a song of mountains and rivers came out slowly. , the beautiful melody slowly flowed from his fingertips, he raised his eyes and looked at Che Chongyu quietly, but saw that the man was just holding the wine glass in his hand, drinking one mouthful at a time, as if thousands of things could not enter his eyes, and his heart was full of embarrassment The pain is hidden, the song is born from the heart, the beautiful tune has a touch of melancholy and sadness, but the victory is melodious and gorgeous because of its proficiency, many people nodded their praises.

Next, Princess Qionglin drew a landscape painting, which was skillful and beautiful.

Princess Ruying of Xiyue played a piece of Guangling San.

He Yuying, the prime minister's daughter-in-law, considers herself a talented woman, and she makes people spread paper and ink to create a poem and painting.

Then came Lin Qinglian from Shangshufu to perform singing and dancing. Meimou walked onto the stage shyly, singing and dancing at the same time. It must have been practiced for a long time, but it was also pleasing to the eye.

After Lin Qinglian withdrew, Eunuch Li called the ladies from all the houses to come on stage in turn according to the roster, but there were only those poems, songs, zithers, songs and dances, nothing new!
A series of ladies came on stage to perform and went down again. Suddenly, Lin Yiyue seemed to hear her name being called. She raised her head a little bit later, and found that everyone was looking at her.

She looked up at Eunuch Li, but heard Eunuch Li's voice again: "Lin Yiyue, the third lady of the Shangshu Mansion, performs a dance in neon clothes and feathers!"

　The palace banquet is about to begin, and tomorrow will be even more exciting!Look at Yue'er's neon clothes and feather dance!

　　Ask for collection, encouragement, and reward!
