"Empress"

"His Royal Highness is here!"

There were three shouts outside the hall, and the shrill and loud voices drowned out the two screams in the flower hall.

The imperial carriage stopped outside the flower hall.

The ladies knelt down to greet him.

"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

The flower hall was silent. Chu Yizhao was kneeling on the ground, and Dong Yanwan was kneeling on her left side. In this small space, the sound of their hurried and rapid breathing was extremely clear.

Chu Yizhao knew that she was afraid that the Queen would hear what she had just said. Although there were reasons for it, it was also a fact that she spoke without thinking.

While no one was paying attention, Chu Yizhao quietly hooked Dong Yanwan's hand with his little finger. The latter paused and her tense back relaxed.

The Shu brocade and gold-woven robe stopped in front of him, and Chu Yizhao quickly lowered his head. The robe did not stay there for long and gradually moved forward.

After a while, a low and gentle voice came from the seat: "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Queen, and Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The women took their seats and there was no more noise as before. They all sat quietly.

Chu Yizhao looked up and found that the prince had stood beside Zuo Suiyan at some point, with surprise and tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.

Wei Yu is dressed in formal attire today, and his face is extremely handsome.

He wore a dark purple dragon robe, a jade belt across his waist, and had the elegance and dignity nurtured by gold, silver and jade, as well as the solemn majesty fostered by the emperor's policies.

Such a man does not need power to make many girls lose their hearts.

Before the Hundred Flowers Banquet in his previous life, this man accidentally ate yellow nuts and his face was covered with red rashes. She happened to meet him and helped him.

As a reward, Wei Yu agreed to her request to ask for the prince to be her brother.

But at that time she was verbally insulted by Concubine Wu and others, so she fled to the Empress Dowager's palace early.

Somehow, after the banquet, this favor fell on Chu Yingxue.

This time, she reminded Wei Yu in advance to avoid the yellow nuts. It was just a casual remark, but Wei Yu gave her two boxes of jewelry as a thank you gift.

Sensible and generous.

The queen had smiling eyes and looked very kind.

In the past, Chu Yizhao always went straight to Shoukang Palace when he entered the palace, and he had only seen the other masters in the palace a few times.

Queen Shen Ni was stunningly beautiful when she was young, and was once praised as the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhou by the world's number one swordsman.

She wore a high bun with golden hairpins, her head was covered with pearls and jade, and was accessorized with oriental pearls as big as fists. She also wore a gold necklace with eight treasures and stones, and a yellow robe with emerald silk and a phoenix holding a hundred birds. It was intricate, exquisite, grand and gorgeous.

The dream smiles with sweet satisfaction, unique and independent.

As soon as one sees her, one feels that she was born to be raised in luxury and not to be subjected to any dust.

Such a proud and noble woman, in her previous life, she broke her body due to kneeling and died in misery.

I heard that when Shen Ni died, his hair was all white and his face was withered, like a dried corpse that had been drained of all its blood.

...

The flower hall gradually became lively.

Shen Ni took off the golden phoenix feather bracelet on her wrist and gave it to Zuo Suiyan.

"When I first saw you, I felt close to you and loved you. This golden phoenix feather bracelet was given to me by the Queen Mother. Now I am giving it to you."

Chu Yizhao watched this scene from afar. The phoenix feather bracelet was shining with golden light and was worn on Zuo Suiyan's delicate wrist.

She stood on the platform in her best dress, beside her future husband, welcoming one beautiful woman after another for him.

How deep is the courtyard? Beauty remains eternal.

Wei Yu wore a dragon playing with a peony pendant around his waist and leaned closely against Zuo Suiyan. The ultimate favor and love were shown at the concubine banquet.

The most noble person in the world cannot do whatever he wants, let alone other people under the imperial power.

The faint fragrance of osmanthus floats in the air, refreshing the heart.

That hint of youthful throbbing had disappeared silently in the dust before it could even be noticed.

In addition to the three concubines who had already been selected, Shen Ni also praised a few others one by one.

Her gaze drifted past Chu Yizhao and finally landed on Chu Yingxue. She frowned as if in confusion, then returned to her gentle look after a moment.

"Okay, it's getting late, everyone please follow me to the banquet."

"Yes"

At the Qushui Liushang banquet, men and women sat at separate tables, each on one side.

Emperor Yuan'an and the other princes had already taken their seats. As Chu Yizhao was walking, someone pinched her wrist. A sharp pain came over her. She slapped the person backhandedly, and the sound was lost in the shouts of "Long live the emperor!"

After Chu Yizhao sat down, a dark red pinhole appeared on his right wrist, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Someone wants to harm her...

There was a lot of people at the entrance just now, and she didn't notice who was approaching her. Such a vulgar medicine is really disgusting...

The men's seat cast a glance over, Chu Yizhao looked up, Qi Heng looked at her with a smile, his face was full of spring breeze and some deep meaning that Chu Yizhao couldn't understand...

Chu Yizhao pinched her fingers. In the past, when Qi Heng saw her, he would say a few mean words, which was at least polite. But today, Qi Heng...

Indescribably weird.

Sitting on the high seat, Shen Ni smiled and said, "Today is a happy day, and all flowers are in full bloom. I have brought some small prizes to add some fun to the banquet."

Men wear twin pendants, while women wear a Ruyi red jewel step-shake.

Chu Yizhao looked at the pendant with twin wild geese, a symbol of loyalty, carved on black jade, and split into two halves.

Black jade is rare, there is only one pair in the world

It really suited the occasion.

In the previous life, the prince was in trouble and there were only a few people at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. It was said that Shen Ni left after sitting for a while, and Mo Yu never appeared in the world.

"Good," Emperor Yuan An said loudly, "The Queen is generous, so I cannot be stingy. The winner of today's talent show will be rewarded!"

Once the emperor spoke, the reward would be a huge one.

Many people were eager to make a move. Chen Yingyue stood up, walked to the center, bowed,

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, today is a good day. I am a humble subject, but I am willing to sing a song to cheer you up."

The palace maid brought a pipa, and Chen Yingyue played a song called Qiu Yue with her slender fingers. Chu Yizhao didn't understand music, but judging from the expressions of the people, he thought it must be quite good.

The talented man recited poems and the beautiful woman danced, Chu Yizhao was dazzled.

I wonder if Chu Yingxue’s off-shoulder dance in her previous life was as pretty as these people’s.

But it doesn’t matter whether it looks good or not, what matters is that the emperor likes it.

Chu Yizhao curled his lips.

My dear sister, you have to fight for your dignity.

Halfway through the banquet, the princes and nobles had decided the winner. Except for Qi Heng who had a unhappy expression, everyone else had an expression of common sense.

The young man wrote a poem, chanting the orchid.

Chu Yizhao recognized him, the one who almost made her fall into the water...

He was wearing green clothes and a jade crown, with clear and elegant eyebrows and eyes. When he saw her looking at him, he slightly closed his head and looked away.

Gentle and dignified like a piece of warm jade.

Quan Yanshu.

As the name suggests, he is a gentleman surrounded by books.

Chu Yingxue is not here at the moment. If she were here and saw Quan Yanshu, would she still be interested in Qi Heng?

Chu Yizhao didn’t know that love was something hard to explain.

Quan Yanshu took the black jade and returned to his original position.

Emperor Yuan An became interested and said, "Yanshu, you have received the jade pendant, why don't you give it to the girl quickly? What are you hiding behind it?"

Quan Yanshu glanced at Chu Yizhao subconsciously, his cheeks reddened, "We haven't been engaged yet, it's not right."

"Hahahaha," Emperor Yuan An laughed, "You are asking for grace from me."

Everyone laughed. Dong Yanwan sat on Chu Yizhao's right and complained to him in a way that was hard to describe.

"Is this an arranged marriage? What a waste of talent."

Chu Yizhao just smiled and said nothing.

After Yuan An finished laughing, he did not forget the important matter.

"Okay, then I will give you this grace."

"Where is the cousin who is so famous in the capital these days?"

No one responded in the hall. Quan Yanshu looked at the woman holding the teacup in confusion. She lowered her head and frowned, looking calm and had no intention of getting up.

For some reason, Quan Yanshu felt a little nervous.

No one responded. Emperor Yuan An frowned and asked again, "Is Chu Yingxue in Quyang Marquis's Mansion?"

"Your servant is..."
