In order to celebrate the army's return from victory, the palace specially held a palace banquet on this day. The eldest princess, who had not been out for a long time, brought Guo Chan and Ren Suyi to attend.

Although Xuan Pinghou intercepted the news that day, it was only delayed for an hour.When the eldest princess learned that many courtiers asked for an order to abolish Zhang Liguo, she angrily smashed a good set of blue and white porcelain in the mansion.

Originally, she didn't intend to come to the palace banquet today, but in the end she personally brought Guo Chan and Ren Suyi to the palace banquet together.She wants to take a good look at who dares to bully her favorite girl.

First the Turkic prince, then the emperor, she hadn't even intervened in Guo Chan's marriage, and those insignificant people dared to speak up.

The eldest princess has not conceived for many years, and the appearance of her second pregnancy has attracted a lot of attention. In addition to the Turkic prince's courtship and various rumors in recent days, Guo Chan standing behind the eldest princess has also attracted much attention, especially many The imperial concubine looked at Guo Chan with some hostility, but Ren Suyi standing next to the eldest princess seemed ordinary.

It is rare for the queen mother to come out to join in the fun today, and when she saw the eldest princess, she ordered someone to call her to come with her.

The eldest princess wanted to refuse, but the person sent by the queen mother said: "The empress dowager said that your highness, the eldest princess, is pregnant, and the dishes below may not be suitable for you."

Having said that, the eldest princess couldn't refuse anymore, so she ordered a few words and left.

Guo Chan and Ren Suyi found an inconspicuous place to sit down. Ren Suyi looked around, most of them were faces she had seen before, and when she saw her mother, He Shi, she just nodded lightly, which was regarded as a hit. call.

"Why don't you see Empress Zhang?"

Although Empress Zhang has no real power in her hands now, she still has the title of empress, and she never appeared on such a grand occasion.

Guo Chan leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Empress Zhang has been raising her baby in the palace now, and hardly ever takes a step out of the palace gate."

Ren Suyi said: "Isn't that confinement in disguise?"

After hearing this, Guo Chan said: "As far as I know, my cousin didn't really imprison her, but she has been unwell since she was pregnant, so she didn't go out to protect her pregnancy."

What she didn't say was that Empress Zhang was not suitable to leave the palace due to the many rumors in the court recently.

Hearing this, Ren Suyi nodded seriously, the eldest princess also attaches great importance to this pregnancy, and will not go out unless necessary.Thinking of this, Concubine Xiao skipped her gaze, her face was rosy due to pregnancy, and her figure was a little fatter, especially her belly was raised high.

"Concubine Xiao has been pregnant for six months, right? She looks really big." In her memory, Ren Suyi only saw He's pregnant, but she couldn't remember it clearly because it was too long ago.

Hearing this, Guo Chan also looked in Concubine Xiao's direction, meeting her gaze, and saw Concubine Xiao covering her stomach with her hands, looking at Guo Chan with a complicated expression.

Guo Chan is not surprised by this, after all, many concubines looked at her like this today, she silently looked away, and said lightly: "It seems to be almost seven months, the cousin and the queen mother are very concerned about Concubine Xiao's stomach. children take it very seriously.”

Sima Yi's heirs are weak, so he will protect the child in Concubine Xiao's belly even for the sake of the country.

Ren Suyi suddenly said: "It's really strange, no matter how you look at it, Concubine Xiao, who is now seven months pregnant, should be the best candidate for empress. How could those ministers target you?"

Guo Chan snorted, "Since I entered the court, I have focused on rooting my own power. It is inevitable that I will break the balance in the court. Naturally, some people will see me as a thorn in my side and a thorn in my flesh."

Ren Suyi thought for a while and then understood, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

Guo Chan nodded, "So they have a good plan."

Just after Seru made the proposal, he wrote a letter to ask for an order. Those who didn't know thought they were kind enough to help her out.

At this time, Ren Suyi felt a gaze on her. It turned out to be Ren Suyao. The two sisters hadn't seen each other for several months.

Goodbye today, the figure is so bright, but for some reason, Ren Suyao has a little bit of peace that she has never had before, which makes Ren Suyi a little strange.

Seeing Ren Suyi looking over, Ren Suyao nodded with a smile, and Ren Suyi responded with a smile. At this time, Ren Suyi found that the person sitting next to Ren Suyao was also an acquaintance, and that was Ling Baolin who had met once before. , but looking at her headdress, she should be Ling Jieyu now.

The two also smiled and signaled, and then Ren Suyi turned around to talk to Guo Chan, but found that Guo Chan was greeting the same person.

Ren Suyi moved closer to Guo Chan and said, "Is it Mrs. Zhao Zhaoyi?"

Guo Chan just looked away and nodded.

Ren Suyi looked upwards, but the other party was still watching here, her eyes were cold, a strange flash flashed in her heart, and she asked Guo Chan, "A-chan seems to be somewhat familiar with Mrs. Zhao Zhaoyi?"

Guo Chan was taken aback, and for some reason remembered the black-bone chicken ginkgo soup that Zhao Laiyi gave her before going to Xuzhou.

Seeing Guo Chan lost his mind, Ren Suyi became even more aware that something was wrong, and looking over there, the other party had already looked away.

"Ok?"

Guo Chan put aside this thought, secretly thought to herself, but just said lightly, "I'm not familiar with it."

Ren Suyi nodded and didn't think about this question again.

Halfway through the palace banquet, the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess left first on the grounds that they were tired.

As soon as the queen mother left, the atmosphere of the concubines and the family's wives were visibly more active.

At this time, a glamorous woman in a red dress walked up to Guo Chan and Ren Suyi. At first glance, Ren Suyi thought he saw little Guo Chan, but after a second look, he found that the two were completely alike.

Because this person looked at Guo Chan eagerly, not in admiration but in complete admiration.

Ren Suyi cast a teasing look at Guo Chan.

Guo Chan had no choice but to ask, "Who is the girl?"

The visitor said with a smile: "I am Jin Fangfei, and I have met the two princesses."

Jin's surname is rare in Chaozhong. Coupled with this person's attire, the two immediately thought of her identity.

"It turned out to be the daughter of General Jin."

Guo Chan remembered what Jin Lu had said, and finally understood why Jin Fangfei looked at her with enthusiasm.

Seeing that Guo Chan knew her, Jin Fangfei smiled even more, "So the princess knows me."

"I heard General Jin mention it by chance."

Guo Chan's slightly indifferent attitude did not disappoint Jin Fangfei. After she briefly expressed her admiration for Guo Chan, she was called away by Mrs. Jin on the other side.

"Princess Danyang is so charming, even ordinary girls adore you."

Facing Ren Suyi's weird tone, Guo Chan was not fooled, and said calmly: "This Jin Fangfei who practiced martial arts since childhood is not an ordinary girl."

Ren Suyi thought to herself, no wonder that Jin Fangfei looks tall and compact, and Guo Chan is also like this, a woman practicing martial arts really looks more powerful.

At this time, a court lady came to Ren Suyi's side, it turned out that Ren Suyao wanted to catch up with her sister.

Ren Suyi thought for a while and agreed.

Guo Chan said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Ren Suyi shook her head, "It just so happens that I have something to do."

The two sisters left the hall and strolled in the garden. In memory, the two sisters had never been together so peacefully.

"Second sister, I can see that you are living happily now."

Ren Suyi hooked the corners of her lips, she did not deny this, "How about you, how are you doing in the palace?"

When Ren Suyao heard this question, his expression was calm, and he said, "Life in the palace is pretty good."

The rich clothes and fine food, the prosperity and wealth, are exactly the same as I thought at the beginning.

Ren Suyi sighed in her heart, the impulsive and selfish fourth younger sister finally put away her minions and became a canary in this gorgeous palace.

"That's good. If you're having a bad time, your mother will probably have trouble sleeping and eating too."

Speaking of the mother of the two, Ren Suyao frowned. In recent days, Mrs. He said the same thing every time she entered the palace. Now that Concubine Xiao is pregnant and conceived a dragon fetus as soon as possible, it means that she has a better temper now and can Don't bother with Ho.

Sensing her expression, she is her biological sister after all, Ren Suyi couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong?"

Ren Suyao didn't seem to have thought that Ren Suyi would ask her, and hesitated after being surprised: "Mother, she always hoped that I could conceive a dragon heir, but... I can conceive this matter if I want to."

Hearing this, Ren Suyi knew in her heart that the He family respected rights and naturally hoped that Ren Suyao could soar into the sky and get pregnant as soon as possible.Now that Concubine Xiao is pregnant and there is no newcomer in the palace, it just so happens that Ren Suyao is still favored, it is a good time.

Thinking of this, Ren Suyi couldn't help looking at her belly.

Ren Suyao blushed, but the next moment he sighed: "It's not that easy, the emperor doesn't come to the harem very often, and now that Concubine Xiao is pregnant, he also goes there when he comes."

It was strange for Ren Suyi to hear these words, a concubine who is pregnant cannot stay at bedtime, so the emperor usually would not stay overnight in the palace of a pregnant concubine.

Ren Suyao knew her doubts, and the distress on his face deepened.

However, Ren Suyi understood that this was Sima Yi's favor towards Concubine Xiao, maybe Concubine Xiao would be crowned Crown Prince in one fell swoop after giving birth to a prince.

This matter is a family matter as well as a state matter, Ren Suyi can't say much, so she can only persuade Ren Suyao to think about it.

"I understand." Ren Suyao responded with a smile, then changed his mind and said, "Second Sister hasn't been home for several months, right?"

Ren Suyao was startled, it has indeed been several months since he arrived in Xuzhou and returned to the capital.

Seeing this, Ren Suyao quickly explained: "Second sister, don't get me wrong, I didn't ask second sister to go home, in fact, I think it's very good."

Ren Suyi was puzzled, but Ren Suyao just smiled and didn't mention it.

His father only wanted her to be a qualified concubine to bring him benefits in the officialdom. Whenever he received a letter from his father, he always told her what she should do and what she could not do, but he never asked her if she had done it. have fun.

As for mother... He didn't even mention it, although she was sincerely looking out for her own good, Ren Suyao now knew that the inside and outside of the palace were two completely different worlds.

After a while, the two came to a relatively secluded palace, Ren Suyao said: "This is it, just wait here, the emperor should be arriving soon."

After Ren Suyao finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, Ren Suyi stopped her, "Aren't you going to ask me what I want to do with the Emperor?"

The day before attending the palace banquet, Ren Suyi specially ordered someone to deliver a letter into the palace to Ren Suyao asking her to meet Sima Yi for her on the day of the palace banquet.

Ren Suyao turned back and smiled and said, "Second Sister, I know you have your reasons for doing this, I believe you."

Ren Suyi was stunned when she heard this, and it took a while before she said "Thank you".

At this moment, it seemed that the gap between the two sisters gradually disappeared, Ren Suyi suddenly smiled, maybe nothing is impossible in this world.

When Sima Yi came, he saw the unique lotus hairpin on the man's head and the glazed bracelet on the wrist that had just been delivered to the Princess' Palace a few days ago, and immediately understood that the person who came to look for him was Ren Suyi.

"I didn't expect you to meet me in this way."

The slightly hoarse voice revealed the aura of a superior person, Ren Suyi was slightly startled, turned around and saluted, and said slowly: "Ren Suyi has seen His Majesty, so she really has no choice but to choose this way to meet His Majesty."

Sima Yi glanced around, with a smile in his eyes, Ren Suyi also realized that this place didn't seem to be a good place for an audience, and felt a little embarrassed on his face.

Looking up again, I saw Sima Yi staring at her intently, with probing and curious eyes, which made Ren Suyi suddenly feel uncomfortable being scrutinized, but the other party was the emperor, so she had no choice but to pretend nothing happened.

So this is the person Ah Chan likes?

Sima Yi asked himself in his heart, but he was not as beautiful as Guo Chan, and his temperament was elegant, but most of the women from aristocratic families were like this.

He really didn't understand what was so special about her.

Sima Yi's silence made Ren Suyi deepen a certain idea in her heart, and she calmed down and said the reason for her visit today.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Sima Yi stared at her in surprise, thinking what she said was fantasy.

Ren Suyi nodded, "Although it is very selfish to do so, I will feel at ease."

Sima Yi laughed instead, "You don't hide your thoughts, you are indeed very selfish. Have you considered whether she is willing, and also considered Aunt Huang's thoughts? She will never agree."

Ren Suyi bit the bullet and said: "I just need Your Majesty to fulfill me, and I will convince the Eldest Princess."

Although Sima Yi was angry, he remained rational, "I really don't understand how a little girl like you has the courage to ask me to do this, let alone how sure you are that she will agree. "

"Because I know she will."

Sima Yi was like a thunderbolt, his heart trembled with his words.

That day in the imperial study room, he said: "Since the officials need a queen, then give them one. If you marry me as a fake marriage, the harem will have no chance to take advantage of it. At the same time, the emperor's aunt will not force you to marry."

When he put forward this suggestion, he was [-]% sure in his heart, but he did not expect to be opposed by Guo Chan, and it was an opposition that could not be reversed.

But at this moment, this person stood in front of him and told him swearingly, because he was sure that she would, so he made a decision without hesitation.
