Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 211
There were already eunuchs waiting at the gate, and they led the two of them directly to the Yuhua Palace. They didn't want to be stopped by the "two teams" who came out halfway when they reached the Imperial Garden.

"Participate in the prince and princess." The person who came was a woman in her early twenties, with a high bun and exquisite makeup. Ladies are different. "On the day of the prince's wedding, the empress did not go because of her health. Today, I heard that the prince and concubine entered the palace. I specially invite the two of you to the Fengluan Palace to have a talk."

After Qu You listened, she smiled faintly but did not speak, but turned her head slightly to look at Chu Yu, the Empress Empress—should be the mother of the third princess Chu Qingge!Is this showing affection to Chu Yu?

Before Chu Yu could answer, another father-in-law hurriedly came over here, saying that he was ordered by Concubine Lian to invite Prince Rui and Princess Wang to go to Yuehua Hall to enjoy the plum blossoms.Concubine Lotus? !Is it the mother and concubine of the fourth prince Chu Xian?Qu You looked at the people on both sides, and felt that this palace banquet was really a worthwhile trip.She had heard long ago that Concubine Lotus in the palace was not fading, and she had been fighting against the queen of the palace all the time, it seemed that it was true, she came to "rob people" so blatantly, and she was not afraid that the queen would hate her at all!The little eunuch who started to lead the way at the gate of the palace couldn't help but panic when he saw this situation. One was the lord of the harem, and the other was His Majesty's favorite concubine.The "aunt" who came first saw that Chu Yu's face was somber, and she didn't dare to argue rashly with the person sent by Concubine Lian, so she could only secretly stare at that person, hating that Concubine Lian would really disrupt the situation in her heart, and she had to follow her in everything. kick!
The atmosphere was rather awkward, everyone was waiting for Chu Yu to express his opinion, but no matter which side he said to go to, he was destined to offend the other side, and this was not just to reminisce about the old days.

"It's your first time entering the palace, this king will show you around the imperial garden." After speaking, he ignored those people and walked away with Qu You.Behind him, no matter if it was the queen's person or the lotus concubine's person, there was a feeling that was expected but not reasonable.If Chu Yu was so easy to be led by the nose by them, I am afraid that so many people would not be afraid of him!Qu You was pulled by Chu Yu and walked all the way to the octagonal pavilion in the imperial garden before stopping.It was summer time, and the imperial garden was full of flowers. The fuchsia in the distance and Guerlain nearby attracted her attention everywhere.

"I've been looking for you everywhere, but you're here." Qu You looked back after hearing the sound, and saw a father-in-law dressed as a chief eunuch coming from a distance with "a smile on his face". "This old slave greets the prince and princess."

"Get up!" Chu Yu said in a cold voice.

Looking at his attire, he must be the servant of Emperor Ming Hui, Qu You thought for a while, coming to find Chu Yu at this time, he must know what happened in the Imperial Garden just now!

"Your Majesty ordered this old slave to ask the prince to go to the imperial study, saying that he has something to discuss."

When thinking about what Chu Yu told her, Qu You looked at him, and seeing him frowning, she couldn't help but smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'm just wandering around in the imperial garden. I will go to the Yuhua Palace." Minghui Emperor Xuan Chuyu went to the Imperial Study to discuss matters, so she naturally couldn't go with her, since it was her first time entering the palace, it would be good to hang around here.

"Lingyou, Feng Ling, take care of the princess." Chu Yu ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." The two of Lingyou blessed themselves.

Seeing that the two agreed, Chu Yu seemed uneasy, and looked at Qu You for a while, until Huang Tu's urging came from his ear, then turned and followed him.

Qu You walked slowly with the two of them, and walked into the gazebo unconsciously.Sitting in the pavilion and looking far away, she saw the white jade paved ground in front of her shining with warm light. In the distance, there seemed to be an unreal palace shrouded in mist, and the phoenix spread its wings on the cornice carved from sandalwood.The cloud-white and clean hall reflects crystal pearls as clear as tears, ethereal and illusory, and the beautiful scenery is like flowers separated by clouds, making it hard to tell which is the real scene and which is the reflection.

"Yuhua, I have met Mrs. Nine Emperors." A soft female voice rang in my ears.

Qu You turned around and saw Princess Yuhua Chu Luan walking slowly surrounded by the crowd.

"Is this the Princess Rui?" In the crowd, a girl with a round face nodded to Qu You with a smile on her lips.

"This is..." Qu You looked at Chu Luan suspiciously.

Chu Luan smiled faintly, as if just remembering it, and patted his forehead lightly, "Oh, look at Luan'er's memory, sister-in-law Jiu just got married to brother Jiu yesterday, and I think she is not very familiar with this palace."

Hearing this, Qu You frowned slightly, a little confused.Just as he was about to ask, Chu Luan's voice sounded again, "This is the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites, Qian Zitong."

"Qian Zitong, I have met Princess Rui." The round-faced girl Qian Zitong has a well-behaved body.

Qu You nodded in return, and stretched out her hand to help, "Miss Qian, don't be too polite, get up."

"Thank you, princess."

"This is Tong Yanran, the prostitute's daughter-in-law."

"This is the niece of the Minister of Rites, Qin Zimei."

Chu Luan smiled and introduced the girls around her. After everyone saluted, she raised her head and looked at Qu You carefully.

It has long been heard that Prince Rui's concubine's appearance is not surprising, but seeing her today, it is indeed so.I saw her wearing a concubine's long dress with golden begonia flowers and luan tails. On her slender waist, she was tied with multicolored silk knotted with long tassels, and she was wearing a delicate bun with clouds. On her head, she was wearing emerald clouds inlaid with gold beads. The phoenix-tailed hairpin, the half-loose blue silk hanging from the neck, so that the skin is white and flawless.

"Ah, it's actually silk brocade from Jinxiufang." Tong Yanran covered her mouth in surprise.

"What are you talking about, this dress..." Everyone surrounded him in surprise, even Chu Luan, who didn't care at first, had a gleam in his eyes.

Chu Luan smiled lightly, stepped forward and pulled Qu You's hand affectionately, "Sister-in-law, Brother Nine Emperors is very kind to you, and the silk brocade in Jinxiufang would not be exchanged for a thousand dollars." After finishing speaking, the rare Touched the fabric.

Hearing this, Lingyou and Fengling's eyes flashed with disdain.Their Qu family has plenty of this kind of broken material, and they don't want to exchange it for a thousand dollars, it's just the young lady's whim.

"It's so good, it's just a piece of common material." Qu You pulled the hem of the skirt pretending to be shy, and successfully rescued the skirt from everyone's hands.She lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was out of place in this bustling palace.

Sure enough, she was a country girl, and she was too petty to be put on the table.Chu Luan lowered his eyes indiscriminately, and a contemptuous smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively." Chu Yuan's voice came from outside the pavilion.

Qu You suddenly clenched his hands tightly, sighing silently in his heart.Just when he was about to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, something broke the situation.How can this play go on.

Chu Luan turned her head, with a flowery smile on her pretty face, she pointed at Qu You, and beckoned to Chu Yuan, "Come on, Yuan'er, Nine Emperor Sisters are here."

Chu Yuan was overjoyed, and ran over with her skirt up.

"I have met Princess Qinghua." Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Chu Yuan waved her hand indifferently.

Qu You looked at her with a smile, and seeing her sweating profusely as she ran, distressed eyes flashed involuntarily.She waved and called her to come over.

"Sister-in-law Jiu, when did you come here, why don't you come to play with me." After finishing speaking, Chu Yuan leaned close to Qu You, and called master in a low voice.

Qu You smiled and nodded her forehead, "You, don't play all day long, you must not miss your homework."

Seeing the interaction between the two, jealousy spread in Chu Luan's heart like weeds, she smiled faintly, turned her head in doubt, her clear eyes were full of inquiry.

"What are the sisters-in-law talking about with Yuan'er, what homework?"

"It's nothing, what are you talking about." Chu Yuan changed the subject with a smile.

Tong Yanran got up, and gave everyone a small blessing, "Returning to Princess Qinghua's words, the servant girl is talking about Princess Rui's wrapped skirt."

Say wrap skirt.Why?Chu Yuan couldn't help but glance at Qu You, and her hands quickly grabbed the hem of the skirt.This, this is... the silk brocade from Jinyifang.

"Sister-in-law Jiu, this..."

"What is this, it's just an ordinary piece of clothing, it's not worth all the fuss." Qu You smiled calmly, and patted her hairy hands off.

Chu Yuan pouted, seemingly reluctant, she approached Qu You coquettishly, shaking her hands vigorously, "Sister-in-law, I want it too."

That's the silk brocade from Jinyifang, you think it's junk from outside, you can get it if you want it.Everyone looked at each other and curled their lips in different thoughts.

Qu You was dizzy from being shaken by Chu Yuan, she put her arms on the stone table, and supported her forehead weakly, "Okay, I have a new aqua blue horse, if you like, go and get it yourself. "

"Thank you, sister-in-law, you are the best for Yuan'er." Chu Yuan jumped up excitedly, she jumped in front of Qu You, and kissed her tender cheek deeply.

Chu Luan let out a long sigh of relief, she turned her head to look in the direction of the main hall, and suddenly laughed.

"The dinner party has already started, Nine Emperor Sisters please..."

"Sister-in-law, let's go." Chu Yuan nodded, took Qu You's hand and walked out of the pavilion.

At this moment, the Yuhua Palace is brightly lit, as bright as day.In the center of the main hall is a golden lacquered and carved dragon throne, behind which is a carved dragon screen, and on both sides of the hall are "standing" six tall golden pillars with dragons, each of which is carved with a vigorous golden dragon; the white marble floor reflects the There is a huge carved dragon on the top of the dragon, and a radiant night pearl hangs from the mouth of the dragon, surrounded by six small beads. The dragon head and the orb are facing the golden throne below. All show royal nobility.When Qu You and the others were walking to the Yuhua Palace, they happened to meet Chu Yu's brothers. Chu Yuan and Chu Luan blessed the body with smiles, calling 'Ninth Brother' over and over again.

"Why, you two girls, you only have the ninth brother in your eyes, but you don't have the fifth brother like me." Chu Xu stepped forward and said jokingly.

"Look at what Fifth Brother said, it really made our sisters feel ashamed." Chu Luan smiled slightly, and called out "Fifth Brother" again.

At this time, the hall was full of singing and dancing, with the sound of silk and bamboo, and suddenly heard "Prince Rui, Princess Rui is here!" For a moment, the drum music in the hall stopped suddenly, and everyone looked outside the hall, only to see two figures, one red and one black appearing At the door, when they got closer, everyone stopped their movements in amazement.However, this amazing person is limited to Chu Yu.

I saw him wearing a dark gold silk purple python brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and his figure was tall and straight, noble and unparalleled.Many officials' ladies in the hall blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to look any further.This appearance instantly became the most eye-catching "scenery" in the palace. Chu Yu's eyes were cold, as cold as ice. It stands to reason that no matter what kind of woman is around him with such a temperament, he should be overwhelmed by his elegance, but However, Qu You's gaze was calm, and his gentle smile matched his aura inexplicably.

Feeling the gazes from all directions in the hall, Qu You remained calm as before, followed Chu Yu to his seat and sat down.But as soon as she sat down, she felt that there were two unusually hot eyes fixed on her body and never moved away.She looked up slowly, and saw a young man in purple and brocade robes staring at her with burning eyes. When she saw her looking over, not only did he not dodge, but he raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, with a pair of charming eyes, unable to say anything. romantic posture.Qu You calmly withdrew her gaze, but unexpectedly, she ran into a pair of venomous eyes!
It was a young girl about her age, with a cross bun and a pair of big almond eyes. She was originally indescribably playful and cute, but the "hate" in her eyes completely destroyed this beauty.Qu You's mind was running fast, recalling every image in detail, but he didn't have the slightest memory of this girl.She wondered for a while, then turned her head to look at the charming Chu Yu beside her, could it be that she was coming for him.

Feeling that the people around her were looking at her, Chu Yu turned to look at her, and said, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay, it's just like—someone provoked a 'peach blossom debt', and somehow it's on my head!" Qu You smiled slightly, and when she spoke, her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were like autumn water, so charming.

Hearing this, Chu Yu frowned slightly, a little confused.Just as he was about to ask again, he heard a shout, "The emperor is here, and the empress is here!"

Emperor Huiming, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked steadily to the throne and sat down. He looked at the crowd with a smile, and his eyes were full of joy.Qu You looked at the emperor on the Dragon Throne, and quietly concealed the surprise in his eyes. That elegant air was not like that of an emperor who has been in a high position for a long time.And what surprised her the most was Emperor Ming Hui's white hair at the temples. His face was still in his forties, but why did his gray hair grow early? What happened?
The woman next to Emperor Ming Hui who was also dressed in an apricot-yellow palace attire was the Empress Empress of the Central Palace. She wore a peony bun, a phoenix spreading its wings, six sides inlaid with jade inlaid with seven treasures, Ming Jin Buyao, gold earrings inlaid with diamonds and hanging rubies. Wearing hollow carved emerald gold armor with enamel inlay, it looks graceful and noble.Perhaps it was because of her physical discomfort that she looked a little tired, and there seemed to be inexhaustible sorrow in her brows and eyes.On the other hand, Concubine Lian, who is the first concubine in the audience, is radiant and has exquisite makeup. She is gorgeous in a golden and red palace skirt with tassels and drapes. A pair of charming red phoenix eyes, no wonder they are able to win the holy favor alone, this beauty alone is not comparable to the empress.Qu You looked at the beauties in the harem indifferently, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She didn't know how much unknown sadness and bitterness was paid behind this scenery, and how many innocent lives and youth were ruined.

"Today's palace banquet is to celebrate Prince Rui's wedding. You don't have to be restrained, you can do whatever you want." Emperor Ming Hui raised the golden cup in his hand and said to the people below.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Ming Hui looked at the woman beside Chu Yu, and secretly frowned. He had heard that Princess Rui had an ordinary appearance, barely considered pretty.Although the appearance is not amazing when I saw it today, it is better than the temperament.He nodded, he was somewhat satisfied with the marriage he personally bestowed.

"I have heard for a long time that the princess is very imposing. Today, I know that what I said is true. I have heard rumors that you are elegant and good at melody, and your piano skills are unparalleled. I don't know if you can open our eyes today." The person who spoke was just " The girl staring at Qu You, the daughter of the Prime Minister, Situ Yan.

Damn it, who said it, stand up and promise not to beat you to death.Qu You gritted her teeth with hatred, she gave Situ Yan a sneaky look, bowed her head and refused to answer.

"Yan'er, don't be rude." Situ Min scolded.

Situ Yan turned her head and smiled tactfully at her father, "Father, don't worry, my daughter is just inviting the concubine to compete, no matter whether she wins or loses, it's a daughter's joy."

Is this girl a little too restless? !
Qu You felt a little funny in his heart, on this kind of palace banquet, if he played such a trick, wouldn't he be afraid that if he was careless, he would harm himself?
