famous eldest daughter

Chapter 461 Banquet
The brightly lit hall was decorated with splendor but warmth and elegance. The concubines and concubines, who were always fighting to the death, and the princes and princesses, were enjoying themselves at this table, whispering to each other, and constantly joking.

Only at the farthest corner of the banquet, there was that stone blue color that seemed to be in another world, which made Gu Yuqing's eyes sore.

Xiao Ke, the emperor's ninth son, seemed to be excluded from everyone. All around him, there was only desolation and loneliness.

But this person, who was ignored by everyone and turned into dust, in his previous life, single-handedly drove away foreign enemies and was invincible, becoming another living myth on the battlefield after the Gusu family in Qibei.

It's a pity... She suffered a tragic death in her last life, and she couldn't see Xiao Ke's ending, but she was really curious about how those people who ignored him back then felt in the face of such a radiant Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke's adoptive mother, Concubine Xian, has disliked Xiao Ke in every possible way since he was a child. How will she face Xiao Ke at that time?
In the last life, she had almost no interaction with Xiao Ke, but in this life, after several contacts, Gu Yuqing found that every time she came into contact with Xiao Ke, there was always a reassuring aura permeating her body. The sense of security that Xiao Yu brought her was completely different.

If Xiao Yu felt like a fierce waterfall to her, Xiao Ke felt like a slowly flowing stream.

Thoughts about the past and present life were turbulent. Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Ke and couldn't help but squint slightly. His thoughts were racing. In fact, it was just a blink of an eye.

"Why are you here alone, where is the Queen?" After Gu Yuqing sat down, the Queen Mother turned to Gu Yuqing's direction and asked with a smile.

After gathering her thoughts, Gu Yuqing replied with a smile: "There is something going on in the palace, please let me come over first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Hui smiled, "The Queen is in charge of the Sixth Palace and is busy with everything. Why are the two children, Yu'er and Yi'er, missing?" As she spoke, she sighed softly, with a mother's affection for her son. Concerned, she looked at Gu Yuqing, "Did Yu'er accompany you to the Empress's place?"

Meeting Concubine Hui's gaze, Gu Yuqing pursed her lips and said shyly, "I'm going." A blush flew over her face, she paused for a moment, and then said, "I just walked to the Queen's chamber and was summoned by Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Queen Mother calmly, and continued to answer the most important part of what Concubine Hui said just now, "I came out of the Queen's place, and happened to meet Her Highness the Third. I think the Queen summoned him for something. , so it was delayed."

As Gu Yuqing finished speaking, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, "When you came out, Yi'er went in?"

Gu Yuqing opened her big black and white eyes and nodded firmly. Her eyes were as clear as water and spotless. "Yes..." But her tone made her hesitate to speak, and her eyes flickered.

Who is the queen mother, what a shrewd person, Gu Yuqing's strange expression was naturally seen by her, "What's wrong?"

The Queen and Concubine Hui have never dealt with each other. Now that Gu Yuqing has become Concubine Hui's prospective daughter-in-law, it is impossible for the Queen to remain indifferent.

What's more, there is the matter of Chenxiang Pavilion.

Gu Yuqing pursed her lips and smiled, with a sincere look on her face. She shook her head and said, "Nothing." After saying this, her eyelashes drooped slightly and trembled slightly, with an indescribable meaning that silence was better than sound at this time.

The look in the Queen Mother's eyes became complicated. She turned her head and whispered to the nanny behind her. After receiving the order, the nanny turned and left.

There is still a stick of incense left before the banquet begins.

The Queen Mother held a banquet originally for Gu Yuqing, but now that she, the rightful owner, had arrived, naturally the dancers entered and silk music played.

The atmosphere in the palace was indescribably harmonious and warm.

There was a constant flow of laughter, cups and cups, and congratulations. Whether it was true or false, Gu Yuqing accepted them all with a smile.

At that time, the news about the iron certificate given by the emperor had already spread, and some people even expressed admiration for it. When Gu Yuqing heard this, he just smiled and passed it by. His smile contained proper respect, which was a sign of respect for His Majesty's kindness.

After the song and dance ended, a chamberlain announced in a high-pitched voice, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

As his Qingyi singing voice sounded faintly, the uproar and excitement in the banquet hall suddenly stopped.

Except for the Queen Mother, everyone got up and stood up.

With the sound of clothes being rubbed and rings jingling, Xiao Yu followed the emperor and passed through the crowd.

The Emperor sat down beside the Queen Mother, and the concubines, princes and princesses who were standing sat down. Xiao Yu did not wait for the maid to guide him and sat directly next to Gu Yuqing.

He didn't care who this position was originally prepared for. Now that the imperial edict granting marriage had been issued and Gu Yuqing also entered the palace to kowtow, he could sit side by side with her openly.

"Your Highness, this is the position of the legitimate princess." As soon as Xiao Yu sat down, the guiding maid behind him glanced at the Queen Mother uneasily and reminded her in a low voice.

She spoke in a very low voice, almost no one could hear her except Gu Yuqing and Xiao Yu.

But Xiao Yu said in a loud voice: "Let her sit in my seat, it's fine!" The tone of the words was full of casualness.

The emperor, who had just sat down, couldn't help but frown and look at him, giving him a scolding look with words written all over his eyes: Can you be a good boy?
Xiao Yu responded silently with an innocent look on his face: Sitting next to his wife, that's right, what does it have to do with someone who is not promising!Father, don't exaggerate!

With a tacit understanding, the emperor instantly understood the meaning in Xiao Yu's eyes and was immediately speechless!
But he raised his hand and said to the maid behind Xiao Yu: "Let him sit there."

Ever since the incident in Chenxiang Pavilion, Jingyu had nightmares every night, was frightened every day, could not get a day's peace, and was afraid that she had no intention of attending the palace banquet.

It would be nice to let Xiao Yu sit in Jing Yu's seat.

Otherwise, everyone would be here soon, but she would be missing, and the empty seat would be particularly conspicuous, causing another trouble for nothing.

Thinking of the evil spirits in the harem, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little heavy. He turned his head and glanced at the queen's position, with suspicion in his eyes, "Why hasn't the queen come yet?"

As he spoke, the emperor glanced at the crowd below, and said, "Yi'er isn't there either?"

In recent days, the Queen and Xiao Yi moved around frequently, and the Emperor was already unhappy.

As an emperor, he was particularly taboo about the disconnection between the harem and the previous dynasty.

Xiao Yi is the prince who wants to compete for the throne, and the queen has no children, not to mention the high status, and her natal family is even more powerful. If Xiao Yi gets her help... With this in mind, the emperor couldn't help but look at Xiao Yu, and his heart ached. With a heavy sigh, it's a pity, it's a pity that there is no one in the Dong family!

　Little cuties, let's add more tomorrow!
