Qu Wenxin did not expect that Gu Qingxuan would reject her request so directly. She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Qingxuan, but there was no emotion on his indifferent face.

"But -" Qu Wenxin still wanted to fight for herself.

"No but." Gu Qingxuan refused again.

Qu Wenxin never expected that her cousin would be so cold, and her little face could not bear it at that time. Her red eyes were filled with tears. She stamped her feet, turned around, picked up the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, and staggered away.

Gu Qingxuan looked at Qu Wenxin's leaving figure and said helplessly: "Trouble."

In fact, Qu Wen's entry into the palace was a matter of his own words. However, the palace was not a good place and the reason why she was not allowed to attend the banquet was to protect her. Sometimes things don't make sense.

"Your Majesty, what should I do with my cousin?" Rufeng walked into the study and looked at Gu Qingxuan and asked.

"Don't worry, let her stay in the house today and don't go out." Gu Qingxuan said.

"Yes." Rufeng responded.

At this time, Ye Ying walked in from outside, and Gu Qingxuan asked: "How is the princess? When will she enter the palace?"

"Princess is almost ready, Chenshi will set off on time." Rufenghui reported.

"Okay, you go make arrangements!" Gu Qingxuan ordered.

Ru Feng and Ye Ying walked out of the study, and Ye Ying asked, "What did I miss just now?"

Rufeng glanced around and said in a low voice: "The prince has rejected the cousin's request to enter the palace."

Yeying frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but shake his head, feeling worried for his prince, but the first priority was to escort the princess into the palace for the banquet.

This time when she entered the palace, Chu Yunyan still brought Ningyue with her.

When Chu Yunyan entered, many married women had already arrived. Many of them were accompanied by a young woman, dressed very solemnly. This phenomenon made Chu Yunyan smell something abnormal in her heart.

When Chu Yunyan appeared at the banquet, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Watching the sudden appearance of a young woman in gorgeous clothes and unrivaled elegance, the married women felt alarm bells ringing in their hearts, fearing that their daughters would be outcompeted. Therefore, the gaze cast on Chu Yunyan couldn't help but be a bit repulsive and hostile.

Chu Yunyan didn't know where the hostility came from. She walked calmly through the crowd and found a shady place to sit down. Several of the ladies who knew her nodded and greeted her in a somewhat unfamiliar manner.

The ladies from aristocratic families who were present also gathered together, looking at Chu Yunyan from time to time, and whispering about her.

Chu Yunyan didn't care about the eyes around her, she just looked at the elegant banquet casually. The banquet venue was placed next to the Jade Lake in the Imperial Garden. Flower arrangements and fresh fruits were placed on the flower table under the garden gallery. The garden is full of fragrant clothes, and the luxurious jewelry and brocade clothes of the family members of various high-ranking mansions are dazzling under the spring sunshine.

Women's chatter and laughter could be heard from time to time in the garden. Chu Yunyan looked up and saw an arched door not far away. Through the holes in the carved bricks, she could see several young women chatting and laughing happily. It was blown by the wind from there.

Soon, a sharp announcement came: "The Queen has arrived!"

Everyone bowed down and saluted: "Join the Queen, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

The queen waved her hand casually and said: "Get up! Today I want everyone to have some fun together. You don't need to be so serious. Please sit down!"

Everyone then slowly stood up and took their seats.

I saw the empress wearing a bright red dress embroidered with gold dragons, a nine-phoenix hairpin embellished on her upturned bun, and a gold-threaded dress. Although she was nearly forty years old, her charm still remained, especially those eyes that looked towards When in the crowd, he showed a majestic look that showed no anger and dignity.

Concubine Ning followed the queen, wearing a lavender dress and a thin veil of green water. She wore a pearl-jasper-studded budgie in her low-hanging hair. She looked at everyone with a smile on her face.

There were two unfamiliar concubines at the back. They looked younger than Concubine Ning. Seeing that the beaded hairpins on her hair were the new models of Linlang Pavilion, Chu Yunyan knew that they were favored by Emperor Hui. concubine.

"It's the Flower Festival again, and in accordance with the rules of previous years, I have called everyone here today to have a lively, look at the colorful scenery, and chat about daily life." The Empress glanced at everyone and said slowly.

"Thanks to the Queen, we can enjoy all kinds of precious flowers every year, which is an eye-opener!" A lady spoke first, livening up the atmosphere.

"Yes, there are so many more flowers this year that I can't even name them!" A slightly plump lady agreed with a smile on her face.

Everyone spoke words of gratitude.

The Queen Mother listened to everyone's compliments and kept a decent smile on her face. Seeing that the atmosphere began to liven up, the Queen said: "Why don't you all follow the Ai family for a walk to see if any of this year's flowers can catch your eye?" of?"

Everyone naturally followed in unison.

As the Queen spoke, she walked forward and said: "You young girls, you don't have to follow us elders. You can enjoy the flowers and play in the garden by yourself. When the banquet is about to begin, I will Someone will be sent to inform everyone.”

When the young women heard this, they naturally went into groups in twos and threes to look for their favorite flowers.

Chu Yunyan had no desire to appreciate the flowers. She still went back to sit under the pavilion and passed the time looking at the nearby scenery. Around the pavilion, there are peonies and begonias clustered in clusters. The breeze blows, and the flowers are really more beautiful than the flowers.

I thought that staying away from the crowd would keep me away from trouble. Unexpectedly, less than a quarter of an hour later, an annoying voice came: "Hey, isn't this Princess Zhan?"

Chu Yunyan turned around and saw a somewhat familiar woman appearing in front of her. She soon remembered that the person was Mrs. Xu who had been whipped by her at the flower market, and she was accompanied by a woman who was about fifteen years old. The woman is probably her daughter.

Chu Yunyan glanced at Mrs. Xu, not caring about her provocative tone, and replied: "You did not admit the wrong person."

"Hmph! Seeing that you are here alone without anyone else, you can tell that you are too arrogant on weekdays." Mrs. Xu said with disdain.

"So what?" Chu Yunyan replied indifferently.

Mrs. Xu was choked and stunned. Mrs. Xu's daughter looked at Chu Yunyan with unkind eyes and wanted to say something, but Mrs. Xu took her hand and patted her to comfort her.

Mrs. Xu turned to Chu Yunyan and said: "I would like to advise Princess Zhan to restrain herself and stop looking like a coquettish person all day long to provoke people."

When Chu Yunyan heard this, she was unhappy. She immediately stood up and took a step forward, looking at Mrs. Xu steadily.

Mrs. Xu was frightened by Chu Yunyan's posture. She took a step back and said, "What are you going to do? This is the palace. If you want to take action, you must think about it."

Seeing Mrs. Xu's cowardice, Chu Yunyan sneered and said: "If I want to beat you up, I never look at the time and place, only my mood. Also, you can say that I am good-looking, but you can say that I am everywhere It’s inappropriate to provoke others.”

Mrs. Xu's daughter saw Chu Yunyan's bright temperament and arrogant expression from the side, and took a step forward and said: "Don't be too arrogant! If you hadn't been indiscreet, no one would have criticized you!"

After hearing this, Chu Yunyan took another step forward, looked at Mrs. Xu and her daughter, her cold eyes were like sharp blades, and asked: "Who said this? What is the basis? If you can't say something today, One or two, this princess will never give up!"
