Chapter 1119 The Dangerous Palace Banquet

The first thousand and 110 nine chapters of the perilous palace banquet

"He avoided me on purpose again, and didn't let me know that he was back, and didn't let me see him!" Wang Chuchu twisted the veil in her hand sadly and angrily.

Ever since she found out that Gu Liuyun and He Lanshan were really engaged, she couldn't sleep peacefully almost every night, angry and hated, anxious and anxious, but helpless.

What's even more unacceptable to her is that she heard that Gu Liuyun was already looking for someone suitable to take care of her for her.

Wang Chuchu wanted to see him several times, but refused because Gu Liuyun was either not at the house or found other excuses.

Just like what she thought at the beginning, it seemed that once He Lanshan appeared and established a relationship with Gu Liuyun, she would be ruthlessly abandoned by Gu Liuyun.

Thinking of this, Wang Chuchu's eyes filled with tears, looking like she was about to cry.

Seeing that she had been looking at the direction Gu Liuyun was leaving, Ziying knew what she was thinking, but just pretended she didn't see it, and passed her expressionlessly.

"Miss, it's windy, let's go back!" The maid beside Wang Chuchu was caring at this time, looking at her with worry in her eyes.

She thought that her young lady had been pregnant for several months, and she hadn't seen her sleep well at night these days, even if she took a nap during the day, it was only a moment.

In addition, because she heard the news of Gu Liuyun and He Lanshan's engagement, she was heartbroken and worried too much. Wang Chuchu's health was not very good at first, and the servant girl was really worried that after a long time, she might be able to bear it. Can't live.

Wang Chuchu's face was full of grief, and her eyes seemed to have no light. She lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief as she walked back.

"What should I do? To attract his attention?" Wang Chuchu bit the corner of her mouth, asking herself silently over and over again in her heart.

Since these days, she has been counting the days. She knows nothing about the affairs of the court and the capital, nor does she have any keen sense of smell.

Therefore, she didn't realize that there was another reason behind Gu Liuyun's busy schedule these days. In her heart, only her sweetheart would marry another woman, and then abandon herself as a matter of course.

At this time, Gu Liuyun had already seen the gate of the palace from a distance. Today is the queen's birthday, and the palace held a palace banquet. Civil and military officials entered the palace to celebrate, and several palace gates were blocked.

Gu Liuyun's eyes quickly swept everywhere, the guards at the gates of each palace were stricter than before, and more people were deployed, which is nothing unusual.

Because the routine inspection for entering the palace today was more stringent, Gu Liuyun simply got out of the carriage early and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Today should have been a happy day, but it was really hard for Gu Liuyun to be happy. He was always very vigilant, and his eyes even swept over the faces of the ministers one by one, trying to tell if someone had a ulterior motive.

Gu Liuyun squinted his eyes slightly and was watching. Some officials came up to greet him warmly, and he responded to them one by one. There were also those who came to flatter and flatter him to get closer, so he smiled and gave up.

The scene of many officials passing through the palace gate and rushing to the palace hall to participate in the palace banquet is really spectacular. Apart from the hustle and bustle, most people don't know that tonight's palace banquet is full of dangers, and each of them will be involved in it.

When all the ministers passed through the gate of the palace, the third prince arrived at the gate of the palace in a gorgeous carriage.

Even if it is the prince, it needs to be checked routinely. The imperial guards saw that he brought two jars of wine and exchanged glances with each other, but they did not open the wine jars, but simply asked a few words, and gave three The prince let go.

The third prince was enjoying the privileges brought by his noble status, and he told the person who was moving the wine jar back to be careful with his face.

"This is the fine wine from the Western Regions that I managed to get. I only received two jars in total. If it breaks, you won't be able to afford it even if you lose your life."

The imperial guards were a little unhappy when they heard the third prince's words, but they just glanced at each other, didn't say anything, didn't show it on their faces, and continued to keep their heads down and busy with the things in hand.

After the third prince entered, the Imperial Guard saw that no one was coming, so several people hurriedly pushed the heavy palace gate together, and closed it tightly.

It doesn't take long from dusk to complete darkness in autumn.

The palace banquet had just begun, and the sky outside had already darkened.

After a few songs and dances, all the princes and ministers who gave gifts came forward to offer gifts and toasted the emperor and queen.

Queen's birthday, today in this hall, apart from the emperor, the most beautiful one is naturally the empress. Concubine Gao, who is sitting under the empress, has been smiling at her and everyone in the hall.

In the past, she might have envied the empress's status as the lord of the harem, and envied the jade noble concubine who was loved by thousands of people.

But today, even though they are so beautiful and flattered by everyone, I don't feel envious or jealous at all, and even want to sneer.

Above this hall, no one knows better than her that the sky will soon change.

She knew deeply in her heart that from now on, soon she would no longer be the woman who desperately longed to have the phoenix seal of the harem and the emperor's favor.

She will become the most powerful and status woman in the world, and everyone in the hall tonight will witness this moment with their own eyes, and have an unforgettable and thrilling night.

Her friendliness was hidden in her calm smile, and she watched with satisfaction as the emperor picked up the dishes in front of him and ate the black gemstone grapes tribute from the Western Regions on the silver plate.

At this moment, a minister retreated to his seat, and the third prince came out to toast.

The third prince first presented a congratulatory gift to the empress, and then ordered someone to bring out the two jars of wine, saying that they were fine wines from the Western Regions that had been collected with great difficulty, and were specially brought in to present to the emperor.

Today, before the palace banquet started, Gu Liuyun had actually seen the emperor in secret long ago, and also specially reminded the emperor to be careful in everything during the palace banquet today, and he must not be careless.

It is precisely because of Gu Liuyun's entrustment that the emperor has always been very careful, especially when the fourth prince was giving gifts and toasting just now, they were all extra cautious and nervous.

Now it was the third prince's turn, and the third prince made a special toast. The emperor also kept a wait-and-see attitude and did not move for a long time.

It wasn't until the third prince poured out the wine he had presented himself, and drank a glass first, the emperor saw that there was nothing wrong, so he drank a glass with peace of mind, and asked the eunuchs around him to reward the wine to other courtiers at the palace banquet to taste.
