Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 56

Chu Li frowned.

He just clearly smelled the smell of amaranth on her body.

He asked her what she had, but she shook her head.

So, did she know but concealed it from him?Still really ignorant?

In either case, that person must know everything.After five years, is he finally going to act?
Rubbing his forehead with his hand, Chu Li exhaled, Xiao Qiao, what are you thinking?What exactly do you want?

The sedan chair stopped at Xihua Gate, Chu Li got off the sedan chair with a slight bow, raised his head, and met a pair of phoenix eyes looking over. There is a heroic look between her brows, which is completely different from the usual delicate daughters.

The first female general of the Great Chu Kingdom, the granddaughter of Gu Xiang, Gu Yanyan.

Chu Li's purple eyes looked over lightly and frowned slightly.

Gu Yanyan stepped forward and saluted him respectfully. This time, it was not a military salute, but just a Wanfu salute for ordinary women.The meaning of it may only be understood by herself.

"His Royal Highness Li, do you mind if Miyan goes with you?" she asked.

Chu Li smiled: "Please, General Gu."

"I don't dare, Your Highness should go first." Gu Yan leaned forward.

Chu Li also stopped perfunctory with her, raised his legs and walked towards the palace gate, Gu Yanyan followed behind him, staring at his stalwart body for a long time unable to suppress the throbbing in his heart.The person who has been thinking about him for five years is now so close to her that she can touch him with one hand. It is not in vain that she spent five years getting closer to him step by step.Even today's banquet, she came early just to wait for him to accompany him.Perhaps in Chu Li's eyes, they just met by chance, but only Gu Yanyan knows how long she has been planning for this.

The two walked one after the other without saying anything, and soon arrived at Fengzao Palace where the banquet was held today.

It was a bit early, and in the huge hall, only some officials from Gyeonggi had arrived ahead of time, and he, the young prince of Qingyi Palace, Chu Mu——he was sitting alone at the corner of the hall, drinking one cup after another, Hearing the eunuch's announcement, all the officials stood up and saluted Chu Li, but Chu Mu didn't even lift his eyelids.

However, Chu Li felt inexplicably happy in his heart, and walked slowly to his own position, accepting the courtesy and compliments from all the officials.

Gu Yanyan also saw Chu Mu, but she just took a quick glance and looked away. He was sitting too far away and didn't intend to talk to everyone, so she simply stopped saying hello to him.She has lived in Chudu for so many years, so she is naturally aware of the name and bad deeds of the young prince of Qingyi Palace. She has always been proud and arrogant, and only Chuli can look up to men in the world.After a little hesitation, she turned around and sat down on Chu Li's lower head.

Today's palace banquet is for her, she chooses to sit here, neither breaking the rules nor being rude, why not?

After a while, Ling and others also came. Originally, the queen's invitation was for the three ladies from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Ling Wanshu was the only one who came. If she was with Ling Er and Ling San in the morning Well, after all the little fox's tossing, I'm afraid he won't be ashamed to face anyone now.

As soon as Ling Wanshu entered the door, she was so angry that she almost jumped. She only heard that Gu Yanyan had returned the day before yesterday. Why is she sitting next to Chu Qi today?This is absolutely intolerable!She almost rushed up in a disfigured manner, but was secretly held back by her mother, Gu Ruoxi.

"Mother, look..." Ling Wanshu was anxious.

Gu Daqian Gu Ruoxi is Gu Xiang's youngest daughter and Gu Yanyan's little aunt. Back then, she was known as a savage lady in Chudu. His arrogant temper caused Ling Xiang to have a reputation of being henpecked.She naturally knew that her daughter was in love with Chuli, so she chuckled in Ling Wanshu's ear: "Shu'er, your cousin likes to dance with knives and guns, is skilled in martial arts, and has a masculinity, how can you compare with her? However, His Royal Highness Li Wang does not necessarily like girls who wield knives and guns, no matter what you say, they are all the most talented girls in Chudu, just remember this, and don’t lose your identity. Do you understand?"

Ling Wanshu frowned, calmed down a little, and said coquettishly: "Mother, how can I get close to him? My cousin has already taken the lead, she is so close to him."

"Is it useful to sit close?" Gu Daqianjin said with a smile: "Look, has His Royal Highness Li Wang not even turned his head yet? Today is the Queen's banquet to celebrate your cousin and let her show some limelight It's nothing. Be good, sit with your mother."

Ling Wanshu could only sit in the back seat.

Before the banquet started, the officials chatted with each other, saying nothing more than compliments and flattery, or recent gossip and trivia in the city. Sometimes they raised their heads and laughed, and sometimes nodded in agreement. The atmosphere was lively.

Chu Li sat as firmly as a mountain, let the charming court ladies or ministers who were stalking by his side pass by, and occasionally responded to a sentence or two of greetings from Ling Xiang and Gu Xiang, feeling peaceful and at ease.If he didn't think about the amaranth, he would still be in a happy mood.

In the corner, Chu Mu was still drinking by himself, without any intention of stopping, and looked coldly at Chu Li who was sitting in the center of the hall——

Why does he hate him?Can't tell.Chu Mu only remembered that when he first saw him, he didn't like him.

When did you meet for the first time?

15 years ago.

He is five years old.It was the first time to attend a banquet in the palace.He remembered that he was lost, and walking on the long corridor, there were big red-painted pillars of the same type everywhere, and he couldn't tell the direction.He was a little tired from walking, so he simply leaned on the red pillar and waited for someone to come to him.

A burst of laughter came from among the flowers, and he looked over curiously. It was a beautiful woman in snow-white clothes, holding a pair of small hands in her hands, and she was a boy about his age.The two of them, one big and one small, chased around the flying butterflies. The butterflies flew high, and when they were tired from running, they stopped and laughed.There is sunshine surrounding them, so warm feeling.

At that time, he was still young, and he didn't know what beauty was, but the woman's eyes and the boy's eyes were very strange, one was green and the other was lavender, which was the same as his own amber, which was not common. black, brown.

He looked down at the black clothes on his body. Driven by his childish nature, he wanted to go up to them and ask the two of them, why you can wear white clothes, but I can only wear this color?Why can you laugh so happily, but I can't laugh?Why is no one holding my hand?Why... I am the only one in the world without a mother?
How childish he was at that time, he thought so, and actually leaned on the railing to turn over there, but he was really too small, too short, and not strong enough, and he was tired when he supported it with his little hands, and his calves were too tight. It was so short that he couldn't reach the high handrails. Finally, he fell to the ground with a "plop", and his forehead hit the pillar hard, breaking it.

He didn't cry, and got up immediately. However, when he looked over again, there was no one in the flowers.

He just stared and stood there without moving, until the servant found him and took him away.

That's how I remembered Chu Li because of his purple eyes.And so loathed him because he had something he never had.

For the next ten years, he never entered the palace again, nor did he return to Chudu, and lived in Yuncheng, the only fiefdom.Five years ago, he came back from Yuncheng. Within a month, he visited all the places where he could play, made friends with countless dudes, and caused one disaster after another. Once became a household name in Chudu.

At that time, he was 15 years old and Chu Li was 16 years old.

Seeing Chu Li again, he had just come out of the Nanfeng Hall, and he was holding another man in his arms.Chu Li sat on the steed, looking straight ahead, he could clearly see the pride in his purple pupils and the coldness on his face.

Purple pupils, purple pupils, he recognized those eyes, eyes that he had hated for ten years, how could he fall in love with them when we meet again?
Chu Mu shook his head and smiled wryly, holding a cold wine bottle in his hand, but he couldn't drink any more.He hates Chu Li, even more now.But why did she...

Life is an illusion and you are my only light.Now, what else could he say?

"Your Majesty is here! The Empress is here! The Concubine Ling is here!" The voice of the eunuch and spy sounded in front of the palace gate. Chu Mu raised his head slightly, stood up symbolically, and saluted the three of them together with all the civil and military officials.

The Emperor of Chu still smiled as usual, holding the hands of the Empress and Concubine Ling on the left and the right, and sat on the main seat, never showing favoritism.His eyes swept across the people in the hall, and he frowned suddenly: "Where's Mu'er? Why are you sitting there today? Quick, come and sit in front, and let me see you."

Chu Mu regained his proud smile, obediently walked to the front of the hall, and sat on Chu Xiao's lower head, facing Gu Yanyan.Emperor Chu's face was five points similar to King Qingyi's, but his eyes were completely different. King Qingyi was sharp and ruthless, but Emperor Chu was always smiling. Although there was majesty in his eyes, there was no murderous look.

"Queen, today is a banquet at Fengzao Palace, and you will host it. I just happen to be free." Emperor Chu said to Empress Fu.

"Yes, it's an honor for my concubine." Empress Fu smiled, and raised her jade hand lightly: "The banquet has begun, all the gentlemen can do whatever they want."

play music.song and dance.Much joy.

When the wine was half full, Empress Fu looked at Gu Yanyan, and said with a smile, "Today's banquet is for the first female general of Great Chu. Since ancient times, women have not joined the army. What a wonderful woman, how can all the noble families not congratulate each other? Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The Emperor Chu laughed loudly, and raised his glass first: "Come, respect me, the number one female general of Great Chu!"

Everyone echoed in unison, and raised their glasses towards Gu Mi to smoke.

Gu Yuyan took it steadily, without showing any signs of twitching, but when Chu Li looked over, her hands trembled slightly.
