Before the banquet started, Chu Aotian hadn’t arrived yet, and the officials were almost seated. The concubines who were invited to the banquet were arranged in order around the dragon seat according to their grades, followed by the princes and daughters, from top to bottom according to their seniority. bit.

There are palace lanterns in the octagonal corner of the hall, and the lights are already flickering before it is late at night, illuminating the hall brightly, with noisy voices, greetings, discussions, talking and laughing, which can be heard endlessly.

Before the banquet started, the palace music in the corner of the palace had already sounded, the melodious music and human voices were mixed together, it was very lively, and this excitement would last until nightfall.

Chu Rui arrived a bit late, and many people recognized him as soon as he came, and pulled him to talk to him. He didn't want to pay attention to these people, but because there are so many people, it's not easy to save people's face , I had no choice but to look at Chu Yu while dealing with it.

The one who was talking to him was a minister of the third grade. He noticed that he was absent-minded, followed his gaze, and suddenly remembered the rumor that the second prince was very close to the sixth prince. I swallowed what I wanted to say. Li, changed his mouth and said, "That one is His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, he really looks like a heavenly man in the rumors, and he is a good-looking talent."

Speaking of Chu Yu, Chu Rui was finally willing to look at him, but his tone was always light, "My emperor is naturally very good."

This third-rank minister even faintly heard a hint of showing off from the tone that could not be heard, and he always felt that what he wanted to say was that my people are of course excellent.

He quickly shook his head to shake off the strange feeling.

But now that the conversation has come to this point, he can only bite the bullet and take the conversation, "What His Highness the Second Prince said is true."

Chu Rui hooked the corner of his mouth, and frowned quickly and impatiently, as if he himself realized that such a conversation was meaningless, "Is there anything else?"

The minister shook his head knowingly, "Your Highness, please."

Chu Rui nodded, turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and strode towards Chu Yu.

The minister was amazed when he saw it, and he shook his head while talking to himself, "It is said that the rumors in the palace are half true and half false, and you can only listen to half. It seems that it is not the same today. The second prince and the sixth prince are It's really a good relationship."

Chu Yu has not noticed that the danger is approaching, he is tired of dealing with the people who keep coming to strike up a conversation.

The youngest of the royal brothers and sisters is only six years old, and he usually grows up beside his mother and concubine. Where has he seen this sixth brother who came out of nowhere.

It was unreasonable for children to like Chu Yu just because they saw Chu Yu's good looks. These little ancestors had long forgotten what their mother and concubine told them, and they just thought about how to get into his arms.

The little ancestor, who was often mischievous in the palace and made troubles, caused headaches for many palace maids and eunuchs, was beside Chu Yu at this time, pulling at the corner of his clothes and looking at him eagerly, "Brother Emperor, I also To hug."

Little Eleven sat on Chu Yu's lap, hugged his neck, and proudly made a face at Twelve, "Fool, big fool! Brother Huang is mine."

In an instant, Twelve's tears welled up in his eyes, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

Chu Yu quickly freed up a hand, touched his fleshy little face, and said softly, "Don't cry, don't cry, you can't cry here."

He hasn't fully recognized the person yet. Apart from being scrutinized by all the eyes when he first came here, he was occupied by these small groups not long after. Let's talk.

His gentle voice is very soothing, and the children of the royal family have been taught a lot of etiquette since they were young. Waiting for him to coax himself.

Eleven's hands were tightly clutching Chu Yu's skirt, fearing that someone would snatch the position he took with great difficulty. He looked at Chu Yu with bright eyes, and asked in a crisp voice, "What are you doing?" Is it really my sixth brother?"

Chu Yu smiled and nodded.

Eleven let out a "wow" and said loudly, "Brother Huang, you are so pretty, you are prettier than Elder Sister Shihuang, and even more beautiful than my concubine mother."

This is already the highest praise for a child, but Chu Yu was not very happy after hearing it. Instead, he felt a headache and nodded his head with one hand, "Don't talk nonsense."

The child speaks without restraint and without restraint, and he speaks loudly, which soon attracted a lot of attention.

When the concubines who were close to them heard this, they seemed to have found a reason to finally be able to look at Chu Yu openly. They stared at him for a long time, feeling very entangled in their hearts, and couldn't help but compare their appearance with a man. Comparing, and at the same time ashamed to admit that he is indeed outstanding in appearance, which made them all sway in their hearts.

Chu Jiao sat on the side, trying to pretend to be disdainful.

He was almost at the age of tying his hair, so he definitely couldn't bear to compete with these ignorant brothers and sisters for the position next to Chu Yu, and at the same time secretly envied them that they could rely on Chu Yu's side without fear.

He was entangled in his heart, but Chu Yu was unable to take care of his emotions. He held his breath secretly by himself, and did not wait for Chu Yu's attention. He was so angry that he was dying.

Compared with him, Chu Qiong was much more straightforward. When she arrived, she just gave Eleven a glance. Eleven was a little scared of her. He obediently climbed off Chu Yu and stood aside in a daze.

Before Chu Yu realized why the child who had been in his arms just now suddenly went down again, she saw Chu Qiong raised her head with a smile, and shouted loudly, "Brother Six."

Chu Yu has not seen Chu Qiong for a long time, she recuperated and reflected in Changle Palace alone for a long time, some time ago Chu Aotian went to Changle Palace to see her and then relieved her confinement.

After being imprisoned in Changle Palace for so long, she didn't make trouble, it seemed that she had become much more obedient since that incident.

Chu Yu saw that she had dressed up for this palace banquet, with a few bangles stuck in her hair, embellished with pearls, jade and agate, which made her look more immature and weak.

Although her temper has changed a lot, her red phoenix eyes still can't help but look up when she meets people, which makes people feel frightened. When she meets Chu Yu, she looks down at Chu Yu like an innocent kitten.

Seeing her, Chu Yu felt a little guilty when she remembered the good things she had done before. She smiled awkwardly and patted her head, "Qioner, long time no see, she is more beautiful than before."

Immediately afterwards, a group of children stared at Chu Qiong with envy, jealousy and anger, but Chu Qiong didn't take it seriously at all, and raised her head high.

When she met Brother Huang, they didn't know where to dig out bird eggs.

She shook her head, and made a crisp voice with the beads on her head, "Brother Huang, you look good today. Just now, Qiong'er just took a look from a distance and thought it was some fairy who came down to earth, so she didn't dare to approach her." , for fear of disturbing the immortals."

Chu Yu was stunned for a while, then laughed after a long time.

Chu Jiao, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, twitched his eyes.

Good intentions!

Miscalculated!It's still possible!

Chu Rui, who just approached and heard Chu Qiong's words, twitched his temples, and wanted to throw this sweet-talking little girl out of Qianqing Palace.

Chu Qiong also saw Chu Rui. Maybe it was because the psychological shadow left on her last time hadn't recovered. She saw that Chu Rui was a little timid, and her voice was much lower. She shouted, "Second Brother .”

Chu Rui gave a faint "um" and asked, "Have you studied your homework recently? Have you read all the books I asked you to read?"

Chu Qiong hurriedly nodded cautiously, and looked at Chu Yu for help.

Chu Yu hurried out to smooth things over, "Second Brother, why are you here now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Chu Qiong, and coaxed softly, "Don't be afraid of your second brother, he was in a bad mood last time, so he punished that maid. He has regretted it now, and said he will never do it again. Scared Joan."

Chu Rui, "..."

He was speechless for a moment, and under the hint of Chu Yu's eyes, he reluctantly said "um", "It won't happen in the future."

When the banquet was about to start, everyone returned to their seats, and Chu Yu's side was finally cleared up a lot. Chu Rui Shi Shiran sat down at the nearest position on Chu Yu's left hand side.

Chu Yu couldn't help reminding, "Brother Huang, this is the position of Brother Wu Huang."

"Oh?" Chu Rui raised his eyes and glanced at the fifth prince who was standing not far away, wondering whether he should come or not.

The fifth prince was frightened out of his wits when he gave him such a look, and quickly rolled away mellowly, huddling with the seventh prince in an aggrieved way, with resentful eyes.

Chu Rui retracted his gaze with satisfaction, "It's my place now."

"......"

Chu Yu sighed.

Chu Rui ignored his sigh, looked him up and down for a long time, and asked extremely dissatisfied, "What are you dressed up today?"

Chu Yu felt aggrieved when Chu Rui said this, "Brother Huang, didn't you let me listen to Lan'er?"

Lan'er held chicken feathers as arrows, and didn't care about Chu Yu's opinions at all, so she forced him to change into a red water robe. The thin skirt of the skirt fluttered in the wind, and the silver and gold threads were hidden in the orchids embroidered on it. , intertwined together, golden tree and silver flower, very extravagant.

This robe is not bad, but the color is too bright, it makes his skin whiter than snow, like snow on a high mountain that has not melted for many years, not stained with a speck of dust, he really is an immortal who wants to drift away.

What's more amazing is that Lan'er found an ivory white belt inlaid with jade from nowhere and clasped it around his waist. The young man's figure like a willow tree by the lake is even more eye-catching.

Who knows why Lan'er likes these bright colors so much, probably because little girls like bright colors.

At first Chu Yu was still a little unaccustomed to being stared at by others, but it got better after a while, but now that Chu Rui mentioned it again, he felt that uncomfortable feeling returned.

This was indeed said by Chu Rui, and he couldn't refute it. He pursed his lips, and couldn't say anything bad, so he could only snort coldly and say, "It's all fancy."

Now he can't wait to find a piece of black cloth to wrap his emperor's brother from top to bottom, or blindfold the eyes of all the people present so that they can't see a little.

Chu Yu shrugged helplessly, indicating that he had nothing to do.

With a sharp sound of notification, Chu Aotian arrived with Empress Zhen Yuan in no hurry. Sitting on the dragon chair, the officials got up to pay respects. .

After serving the tea, the audience was silent, Chu Aotian laughed heartily a few times, and waved his hands.

The sound of silk and bamboo in a corner of the hall caught the eunuch's attention. After exchanging glances with each other, the music suddenly sounded again, and the hall finally became more lively.

Chu Yu raised his head, looked at Chu Aotian who was sitting on the dragon chair, and the beautiful and beautiful woman sitting beside him, the two were like a pair of affectionate couple who raised their eyebrows, they were perfectly matched.

Chu Yu lowered his eyes, thinking of his mother and concubine, his expression was gloomy.

If it wasn't for him, her mother and concubine would not have spent several years in that cold cold palace, and finally died of illness.

His mother and concubine were so beautiful, there is no concubine here who can compare to her, if she is still alive, she must be the most beautiful flower in the hundred gardens.

Chu Rui noticed that he was in a bad mood, and patted the back of his hand expressionlessly, telling him not to be distracted.

Chu Yu hurriedly pulled back to God, and continued to listen to Chu Aotian's words.

Chu Aotian said a few words on the scene, before someone secretly yawned, he quickly got to the point, "Today's banquet is not only to reward you dear ladies, but also to celebrate the three top-ranked talents in this autumn's exam."

After all, he cast a glance at the little eunuch beside him.

The eunuch stood up straight, and shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Xuan!"

Hearing that this year's No. [-] and No. [-] Scholar will be announced, Chu Yu quickly cheered up and looked outside the hall curiously. He still hadn't forgotten what Chu Rui told him last time, that No. [-] was Li Jingming.

Three talents who had just passed the rank came in, and for a moment, all eyes were on them.

The three of them were dressed differently, and their temperaments were also worlds apart.

This Tanhua is also a child from a poor family, he is a bit older, he has been in the exam for three years, and finally passed the exam, and he still has such a good result.

This is the first time to face the saint, and under the gaze of so many people, I am so nervous that I don't know whether to step with the left foot or the right foot first.

And the one who walked in front of him was the second place, and it was Li Jingming who I saw on the Marriage Pagoda that day. He was calm, but if you look carefully, you can see that he is a little distracted, and he looks like he is out of his mind.

Chu Yu couldn't laugh or cry for a while, he was exactly the same as when he saw him on the Marriage Pagoda that day, could this person really be so out of tune?

The one who walked in the front was Prime Minister Meng's youngest son, Meng Zhenzhi. Many people in the court had personal relationships with Meng Cheng, so naturally they knew him, but they felt that this boy had grown up a lot after not seeing him for so many years.

Meng Zhenzhi is also dressed in red, but it's different from Chu Yu's. Chu Yu is like a god who does not eat fireworks in the world, but on him, he is extraordinarily young and romantic.

It's just that Chu Yu couldn't care less about flirting with him.

Chu Yu was speechless for a moment, blinked, confirmed repeatedly, and finally had to admit.

This is really Meng Zhenzhi, this is really the number one scholar Meng Zhenzhi, and he is really the person he met twice.

The figures of the two overlapped and finally merged into one. Chu Yu wished he could close his eyes so that he could pretend not to see that person.

It's a pity that that person won't disappear even if he closes his eyes. On the contrary, Meng Zhenzhi seemed to feel Chu Yu's strong gaze, turned his head slightly, and met his gaze.

Meng Zhenzhi wasn't surprised at all, instead he curled the corners of his mouth and blinked at him as if no one else could see.

Chu Yu,"......."

Chu Rui, who can see clearly from the side, "..."

Before he had time to figure out why his best friend knew his imperial brother, the first reaction in his mind was that they were dressed so strangely.

Both are dressed in red.

It seemed as if they could be sent to worship and get married in the next moment.
