The rebirth of the prince and his wife

In the evening of the next day, the court clothes were brought to the Summer Resort. Chu Yu and Gu Youning changed their clothes and prepared to go to the palace.

As soon as the carriage of Prince Wen's Mansion arrived at the gate of the palace, Gui Xi, the eunuch who came to pick him up, hurried forward and saw Chu Yu get off the carriage, and hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to the lord."

Chu Yu glanced at him, nodded slightly to signal him to be excused, then turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage, and helped Gu Youning down from inside. Gui Xi lowered his head, but looking at the corner of the red court clothes, he knew that it must be Concubine Wen is gone, if not, who can make King Wen so caring.

"The servant greets the princess."

Gu Youning was really not used to wearing complicated court clothes, she shook her head impatiently and tugged at the neckline, and even the delicate red headband on her hair fluttered with the breeze, but as soon as she got off the station, she saw a bright little girl The eunuch stepped forward to salute, so he had no choice but to straighten his face and said in a gentle voice, "Eunuch, you don't need to be too polite."

Guixi quickly apologized, and said: "The prince and concubine come with the slaves, all the princes have arrived, and the prince is missing."

Chu Yu nodded, took You Ning's hand, and the two of them followed Gui Xi to the palace, Chu Yu was puzzled as they walked, and asked, "What's the matter, don't all palace banquets be held in Qionglin Garden? Why not today?"

"As for the prince, today's banquet will be held at Shuiyue Terrace." Guixi replied.

Gu Youning didn't quite understand the affairs in the palace, so she turned to look at Chu Yu: "What's wrong?"

Chu Yu shook his head, and continued to ask Guixi: "Today, the emperor is hosting a banquet, do you know why?"

"Yo, Prince Dare doesn't know yet!" Gui Xi said with a smile all over his face, "Today is Madam Zhaoyi's birthday, and the emperor specially held a big banquet to celebrate her birthday."

"Ms. Zhaoyi?" Chu Yu frowned and asked, "But Ding Zhaoyi?"

Yesterday, I heard from Chu Heng that Emperor Desheng sent off Concubine Li because of Ding Zhaoyi, and today I saw Emperor Desheng celebrate her birthday extravagantly, which shows that this Ding Zhaoyi is indeed favored.

In fact, as an emperor or even a member of the royal family, the most taboo thing is to be particularly obsessed with someone or something, especially the most important thing for an emperor is which concubine he prefers, so let alone the restlessness in the harem, even the former officials will discuss it Yes, but now Emperor Desheng has passed middle age, the empress of the middle palace is sitting firmly, the crown prince of the east palace has been established, all the princes have grown up, and even the grandsons are about to get married. Doting on a woman is justifiable as long as it is not excessive, and The officials of the court may also have thought that the emperor is very troubled by the problems between the prince and King Wen, and it is better to have a lively concubine to accompany him, so as not to make the emperor too angry.

Just as they were talking, the group of people had already arrived at the Water Moon Platform.

The water moon platform is located in the center of the blue pool, surrounded by water, and only a water promenade can pass through, because the water in the blue pool is crystal clear, especially at night, when the moon is bright and the stars are few, the moon reflected on the lake is no better than the bright moon in the sky. It is inferior, so it is called Water Moon Terrace.

Emperor De Sheng sat in the upper seat, on the right side of the bright yellow dragon chair sat a queen in a fine attire, and on the left sat a woman in a water pink brocade dress, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features, with a smell that did not belong The innocence and loveliness of a woman in the deep palace must be Ding Zhaoyi.

Because the last time there was a disturbance in the Dehui Palace, Chu Yu had some lingering fears, and when he came to the palace, Chu Yu held Gu Youning's ear and taught him, saying that being in the palace is no better than other places, no talking nonsense, no running around , not to mention staring at girls, those who can come to the palace to attend the dinner party are either palace concubines or wives.

Gu Youning followed the teachings of King Wen, never talking nonsense, never running around, but this man couldn't control his eyes, and he started looking around after a while, and when he saw Ding Zhaoyi on the left of the emperor, he suddenly stared Eyes, staring straight for a while, gasped, Ding Zhaoyi seemed to sense his gaze, and turned to look at him, seeing his dumbfounded look, pursed his lips and smiled.

Seeing that he was short of breath, Chu Yu stretched out his hand and secretly pinched Gu Youning's leg. The pain made Gu Youning startled, and he immediately glared at him and wanted to rush over to fight him desperately, but Chu Yu clasped him tightly in his arms, gritted his teeth and said intimidatingly : "If you dare to look around, try again."

It seemed that he was not relieved, and his big hand wandered on Gu Youning's slender waist, and pinched him fiercely again.

"Oh, it hurts, your uncle." Gu Youning struggled too much, and could only be forced to scold him in a low voice in his arms.

Chu Yu was amused by him, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Prince Ming who was sitting opposite, and said, "My uncle? Well, isn't that opposite, I will take you to greet him."

Gu Youning ignored him, and just kept pushing hard, trying to pull his head out of Chu Yu's arms. Chu Yu smiled, carefully controlling his strength, neither hurting him nor letting him struggle out.

When De Shengdi saw Ding Zhaoyi looking away, he followed her gaze and saw the two people who were still competing, and couldn't help but smile.

Looking at the pretty concubine beside her, she asked, "Is it that pretty?"

Ding Zhaoyi was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at the emperor, and smiled innocently: "Your Majesty, are those two King Wen and Princess Wen?"

De Shengdi nodded: "Yes, how? Do you find it interesting?"

"En." Ding Zhaoyi nodded her head heavily, then pulled the corner of the emperor's clothes delicately, and said, "I have heard people say that Princess Wen is a man. Both the king and the princess are men, but they are more affectionate than ordinary couples!"

Emperor De Sheng drank a little too much. After hearing her words, he turned his head to look at Chu Yu who was still teasing the princess, and nodded in satisfaction: "Indeed, King Wen has always made me feel at ease."

Gu Youning frolicked with Chu Yu for a while, and then sang and danced slowly on the water moon platform. All kinds of dancers entered the arena in tulle, holding fine wine, and the whole atmosphere became lively. Floating on the tranquil lake of Bichi.

The third prince sat opposite Chu Yu and the others, and the third concubine sat in the back because she was a female relative. There were two dancers beside him who toasted him in turn. Gu Youning, who was wearing a red dress, had an inexplicably sinister look on her face.

Gu Youning drank two glasses of wine, originally thinking that there would be no strong alcohol in the palace, but who knows that the wine has a strong aftertaste, he drank a little too much, and it was also late at night and he was a little sleepy, so he yawned and looked at the upper seat again Ding Zhaoyi frowned.

Knowing that Gu Youning can't hold alcohol, Chu Yu ordered the maid to bring a bowl of hangover soup, seeing him staring at others again, she was a little displeased, reached out and pinched his chin, and turned that small face away fiercely.

"Look again!! Why is it so beautiful!!"

While talking, Chu Yu put the hangover soup in his mouth, regardless of the insistence of feeding it to him, regardless of the full house of royal relatives, Gu Youning had no choice but to hold his hand, took two sips, then frowned and found it embarrassing Drink, don't drink any more, Chu Yu didn't force him, just took a few sips by himself.

Gu Youning swallowed the hangover soup in his mouth, then wiped his mouth, leaned against Chu Yu's ear, and whispered, "I know that Ding Zhaoyi."

"How is it possible?" Chu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "I'm wrong, Ding Zhaoyi is the daughter of the governor of Shandong, how could you know her?"

"It's true." Gu Youning looked at Ding Zhaoyi who was joking with the emperor again, and then said with more certainty: "She is someone I know, and..."

He suddenly paused, looked around, and then said in a very low voice: "Besides, she is not the daughter of the governor of Shandong!"

Chu Yu was surprised: "Really?"

Gu Youning nodded inscrutablely: "I know her even when she turns into ashes."

"This matter is related to the lives of her and the governor of Shandong. There are too many people here, so let's talk about it when we go back." Chu Yu stretched out his hand and tightened Gu Youning's coat. The night wind on the lake in May evening was still very cool. At the same time, he was vigilant. After looking around for a while, making sure no one was eavesdropping on them, I was relieved.

Chu Cheng drank a little too much, and his eyes always fell on the red figure on the opposite side unconsciously, especially when he watched the intimate behavior of the two people on the opposite side, he frowned. He has always been a strict and self-disciplined person, let alone drinking too much No, it's just that he seldom drinks. Today is the second time he saw Gu Youning, and all the thoughts in his heart burst out after a long time, and he drank one cup after another.

Seeing that her husband, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, is drinking too much now, the third concubine quickly stepped forward, drank the dancer who was still persuading her to drink, and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness can't drink any more."

Chu Cheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, stared at her for a while, finally closed his eyes, waved his hands, and got up a little shaky: "It's okay, I'll go out to sober up."

The imperial concubine supported him anxiously, and wanted to follow him out, but was pushed away: "No one is allowed to follow."
