The Favored Concubine: The Doting Prince

Recently, Fan Qiu is no longer overly nervous about performing dances at palace banquets.

As a result, the dance teacher is always late.

Gu Fanyue took advantage of these few days to take Cuitao out for a trip.

It can be said that I have truly experienced the customs of Chenliang.

The capital of Chenliang is not very prosperous, but it can be seen that the people live and work in peace and contentment.

At this moment, Cuitao and Fanyue had just slipped out of the house and ran to the old Su's stall and sat down.

Just waiting for the milky cakes in the oven.

The freshly baked scones are very crispy.

The crispy peaches burned my fingertips red, but I couldn’t wait to put them in my mouth.

Just as the two were enjoying their meal, they saw a group of soldiers escorting a vehicle or something passing through the street. The people were talking about it.

"Is this the seeds of the Xixiang flower? Every year at this time, they are all sent to the palace. I heard that they are more valuable than gold."

"That's right. All these truckloads of good things were sent to the prince's palace."

"I don't know what the use of this prince is. Isn't it a waste of money?" A woman holding a basket of vegetables said with a look of contempt on her face.

"Hey, please keep your voice down." Another old man raised his hand to suppress the woman's voice.

"Our Majesty is a kind man. Besides, the prince won't live for many years. The huge Chenliang Kingdom can't afford to support him."

"Why should we support him? The Seventh Prince was injured in the war. What did he do?"

"What you said is true. So many princes didn't go out to fight."

"But he is the prince." The woman pursed her lips and said no more. There seemed to be anger in her eyes, but also a little loneliness.

The crown prince of a country is the hope of that country, and the people will still have expectations and anxieties in their hearts.

For some reason, Gu Fanyue was a little curious about the prince. How would he deal with such an awkward situation?

I ate scones and drank the Su family's homemade milk tea and spent the afternoon leisurely.

Music sounded from the street corner. A few people in cloth clothes were seen playing hand drums, and the people who gradually gathered around them also jumped up and down.

They were very happy, with light steps and beaming faces.

"Hey, they are dancing."

Fan Yue and Cui Tao were also watching in the crowd.

Just listening to the melody is very good, sometimes cheerful, sometimes tight, sometimes dull, very passionate and infectious.

If this was released in Wang Yueran's era, it would have been a popular song on the Internet.

The old man selling fans nearby said, "This song was brought back with the Seventh Prince. His soldiers, some outside the city and some back inside, said they often heard this song on the border. It makes people happy just by listening to it, and it's much better than those played in music halls."

When Fan Yue went out today, she could hear Qi Wang Yuanye everywhere.

I couldn't help but wonder if Chen Liang was the same as me. For Yuan Ye, it was already in his pocket, within his reach.

But he suddenly thought of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It must be unpleasant to have people expecting your death every day.

A few days before the Seventh Prince's Celebration Banquet, Cui Tao and Gu Fanyue were detained in the mansion again.

Fan Qiu reviewed everything and confirmed that everything was fine.

Gu Fanyuebei's dance is called "Koi Playing with Lotus".

It was tailor-made for Gu Fanyue by a dance teacher.

It expresses the ease and comfort of being like a fish in water.

The movements are not difficult, but they show off her graceful figure and also highlight Fan Yue's agility and cuteness.

But every time Gu Fanyue jumped, he felt like he was a fish not in the water, but on a chopping board.

Staggering left and right waiting to be slaughtered.

Especially the dance costume, which was made of orange and pink silk threads with gold and silver threads, and it sparkled in the sun.

When I put it on, I really look like a carp spirit.

At that time, because the dance costumes were expensive, the housekeeper was very distressed and went to find the Third Prince. As a result, Yuan Mo asked, "It's really beautiful, why don't you make one more for the princess?"

Thinking of spending more money, the butler shut up.

The celebration banquet was a dinner party, and it was not until dusk that day that the carriages and horses were prepared to enter the palace.

Gu Fanqiu coaxed Yuan Mo for a long time before he agreed to choose a dark red coat.

A very ordinary and elegant embroidery pattern, Ruyi cloud pattern.

But this red makes Yuan Mo look a little soft?

She stood there shyly, letting Fanqiu play with her.

The red color that Gu Fanqiu chose today is also dark red, the same as Yuan Mo.

Fan Yue took a quick look and thought, isn’t this secretly a couple’s outfit?

This time, Yinggui did not let Cuitao match her clothes randomly. She picked out a light orange dress with nice material for her, which was clean and cute.

As soon as he entered the palace, Yuan Mo walked in a hurry, and Fan Qiu and Fan Yue also quickened their pace, for fear of greeting everyone they saw.

Just as he was about to enter the Linrui Palace, he was stopped by the wife of the Left Prime Minister who had come up later.

"I heard Yue'er is going to perform. I'm really looking forward to it."

Fan Yue smiled slightly, but roared in his heart, "Don't expect it, don't expect it!"

When Gu Fanyue came, she was only wearing a snow-white dress, which made her look cooler than usual.

This was also what Fan Qiu had calculated. He had to keep a low profile at first, and when the music started, the koi spirit would jump out, which would be dazzling.

Fan Qiu and Zuo Cheng's wife were still chatting, while Fan Yue, who was standing beside them, looked around with some boredom.

When I turned around, I found someone looking at me. It was Bai Lingyu.

Compared to her flamboyance last time, she was much more obedient this time. She just peeked at herself in the dark, with uncontrollable pride and mockery in her eyes.

As soon as I found my seat in the Linrui Palace, a palace servant called out, "Your Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine are here."

My god, I’m finally going to see the emperor. Fan Yue still stood up a little nervously.

Before he could stand firmly, he looked up and saw the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor approaching.

His Majesty the Emperor really has a kind face.

Just like the amiable old man next door.

He kept smiling as he walked from the temple gate to the throne above.

The imperial concubine next to him was also dressed up today, looking very elegant and graceful.

When the imperial concubine passed by Fanyue, she deliberately glanced at her with a smile.

Because Yuan Mo basically jogged all the way here, many seats were not occupied yet. The emperor and the imperial concubine were really approachable, coming so early.

This made Fan Yue breathe a sigh of relief. She felt that the two people above were the kind of people who would not punish her even if she made a mistake in the dance.

What's left is just ridicule. Who is afraid of ridicule?

"His Highness the Seventh Prince Yuan Ye has arrived."

Gu Fanyue was still there secretly glancing at the emperor and the imperial concubine.

Heard this sound again.

I saw Yuan Ye coming slowly. Today he was wearing a red robe with a golden dragon pattern on it.

There were several people following behind him, all of them were tall and strong.

This is what a real strong man looks like.

When he arrived in front of Fan Yue, Yuan Ye looked at her with sympathy and a smile on his face, but he also walked past her quickly. He stood in front of the emperor and the concubine, bowed, and then sat down in his seat.

Gu Fanyue was very grateful that he restrained himself today.

"Are those the soldiers who fought with His Highness the Seventh Prince through thick and thin?"

"Yes, I heard that there was another one who saved Lao Qi's life."

Listening to the young couple whispering, Gu Fanyue suddenly felt his palms sweating. No matter how nervous he was, he was still nervous with so many people around.

Gu Fanyue was still going over the actions over and over in his mind.

Until the little girl started serving the dishes, the dishes and pastries were all very exquisite.

Fan Yue couldn't eat a single bite of the food, but the pastries were okay. She took a sip and it tasted sweet.

Who said eating sweets can relieve mood? It’s not true.

Gu Fanyue began to try the deep breathing method again.

While taking a deep breath, he scanned the entire room and found that there was an empty seat to the emperor's right.

Who is this? Why hasn't he come yet when the food is served?
