White Hedge Dream

Chapter 221 Going to the Banquet

The emperor is going to hold a hundred-day banquet for the new prince, which makes the capital lively, but also makes people a little annoyed.

Should I dress more modestly or be more festive?

It's been a hundred days since the little prince was born, and it's only been four months since the queen's death.

However, these words soon led to a reprimand, and His Majesty ordered a banquet to be held, but he was not allowed to cry in despair.

Also, the queen's funeral ceremony has long been out of character. She only has the name of queen, but is actually the same as a commoner.

Moreover, His Majesty will resume her status as White Concubine during this banquet, so please do not cause any trouble for the Concubine.

The love between the emperor and the empress was deep. Concubine Bai was originally inconspicuous, but she was seen by everyone because it was found out that her father was a member of the Chiang Kai-shek Party, who had suppressed three clans and was thrown into the cold palace.

Unexpectedly, this concubine who had only one way to die would suddenly have great luck. First she was favored in the cold palace, then she became pregnant, and then gave birth to the only prince. Now the queen is also dead, and she is the only one in the harem. respect.

This time she is restoring her status as a noble concubine, and she will definitely become a concubine in the future.

Therefore, this is a 100-day banquet held for the prince, and it is also the first banquet for Concubine Bai to restore her status. It cannot be neglected.

The clothes and decorations should be exquisite, and the gifts should be solemn. For a while, every family was in a hurry.

Mother Xu took the maids to look for clothes and accessories, asking from time to time, "Madam, how about this?" Mother Huang showed her the gift list.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou lowered her eyes and drank tea: "Anything is fine." "As long as it doesn't exceed the rules." "Bring the gift list to the Marquis."

Xu's mother saw that Mrs. Dongyang Hou was listless and quickly advised her: "Madam, you can't do this after entering the palace, so as not to be misunderstood that you are not happy for the prince and the white concubine."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou said angrily: "I don't want to enter the palace."

The last time he entered the palace, Ali died.

She didn't want to step into a sad place again, especially to congratulate Concubine Bai.

The two sisters really have different fates.

Moreover, the meaning behind Zhou Jingyun's words seemed that Concubine Bai knew about this sister, but she didn't stop Zhou Jingyun from killing someone? So is Concubine Bai helpless or is she happy to see the result?

When it comes to the safety of Dongyang Hou Mansion, she can't ask or go into details, but she doesn't want to face these people anymore.

"Tell the palace that I'm sick and I won't go, so as not to make the prince sick." Mrs. Dongyang Hou said simply.

Xu's mother also wanted to persuade: "This is a happy day. If someone provokes you, Your Majesty will be jealous. The prince is now in the limelight..."

It was okay not to mention this, but Mrs. Dongyang Hou was even more angry when she mentioned this: "He doesn't care about his reputation himself, why should I care about it for him." He shouted and asked, "What is he doing? Was he having fun on the boat again last night? Or again? Going out to meet his sweetheart? "

Mother Xu hurriedly signaled to Mrs. Hou to keep her voice low, and drove the maids out of the room.

"Madam, the Crown Prince is not there. The Crown Prince was at home last night and did not go out today." She said, "Just when Hongxing went over to deliver snacks, I saw the Crown Prince asking Chunyue and the others to choose clothes for the 100-day banquet."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Try me to explain it differently, when did he choose clothes?"

Her son has been as beautiful as a fairy since he was born, even in rags. He has never been particular about dressing up.

I'm afraid he didn't even see clearly what he was wearing.

Everything he wears looks the same to him.

Chunyue held up a vermilion round-neck robe for Zhou Jingyun to see.

Zhou Jingyun studied it for a moment and shook his head: "It's so festive."

Chunhong hurriedly took out a set of lake blue t-shirt: "The prince still has this."

Zhou Jingyun shook his head: "It's a bit dim."

Although the banquet started in the afternoon, it would definitely not end until the evening. Under the bright lights, this color was a bit inconspicuous.

"Your Majesty, try this." Chunxiang said, running from the room, holding up a set of silver-white round-neck robes with woven gold cloud patterns, elegant and noble.

Zhou Jingyun looked at this robe. His skin color is also fair, so he should look good in it.

It doesn't matter whether he looks good or not. He didn't go to the banquet just to look good. Zhou Jingyun shook his head and shook off this weird thought.

Bai Li asked Po Xu to take advantage of the boat purchase opportunity yesterday to tell him that she would accompany Li Yu to the Hundred Days Banquet.

She definitely wouldn't accompany him for no reason, there must be some need.

So um, he was also more careful, such as choosing clothes that were suitable so that she could see him like this at a glance.

Seeing Zhou Jingyun shaking his head, Chunyue and the other maids were a little anxious: "Go get it again—"

Zhou Jingyun came to his senses and hurriedly stopped him: "No, just leave it alone."

He pointed at the silver round-neck robe and ignored the belt, shoes, socks and accessories.

"I'm going to the study."

The maids watched Zhou Jingyun walk out and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, although the prince doesn't pick out clothes every day, he has prepared a lot of new clothes at home, otherwise..." Chunhong whispered, "I was really caught off guard."

Yes, who would have thought that the prince would suddenly pick out clothes. At other times, the maids would prepare whatever they wanted to wear.

Of course, the maids in charge of costumes are also carefully selected, but the prince has never cared about it.

Because there is a banquet tomorrow, the maid in charge of clothing brought clothes today. In the past, Chunyue just put them away, but the prince who was originally reading in the east room suddenly asked him to bring them over to take a look.

Then he looked dissatisfied and said he wanted to change it.

Everyone got busy for a while, picking and choosing for a while, and finally made their choice.

"The prince attaches great importance to tomorrow's banquet." Chunhong murmured, "I wonder who will be at the banquet..."

Chunyue scolded in a low voice: "What are you talking about? It is a royal feast. Of course, the prince must prepare it carefully."

Chunhong and Chunxiang looked at her, and Chunyue herself felt a little guilty.

Prince, indeed, it has never happened like this before...

Chunhong's lips moved, and she seemed to endure it again and again, and finally couldn't help it: "Will the person outside the prince also go..."

Chun Yue raised her eyebrows: "Shut up!"

Chunhong immediately stopped talking, and Chunxiang also lowered her head.

Ever since the prince frequently stayed away from home at night, he first said that he was nostalgic for building a boat, and later it was rumored that he had raised someone outside. Although the housekeepers and wives punished him, no one dared to mention it.

However, as the maids who accompany him, they are most aware of the difference between the Crown Prince and the previous one. Apart from other things, the Crown Prince loves to laugh, and he can even burst into laughter when he is sitting reading a book and eating...

I thought it was scary at first, but when I thought about those rumors, women who were already delicate minds naturally guessed something.

A woman likes her appearance, so why not a man.

Chunyue sighed softly in her heart.

Is the third young lady about to be welcomed?

…

...On the day of the Hundred Days Banquet, Li Yu stood outside Princess Jinyu early in the morning.

It was already daylight when Princess Jinyu was called up, and she looked satisfied when she saw Li Yu standing obediently outside the palace.

"You have your own palace, why do you still stay with me every day?" she said angrily.

Li Yu sat over, took the tea from the maids' hands and gave it to her, saying, "I'm going to the banquet today. I want to go with my aunt."

"What? Don't you dare to go to His Majesty by yourself?" Princess Jinyu said with a smile, "He is your uncle, you should get closer to him."

Li Yu shook his head: "The emperor's uncle has his own son, so I don't need to get close to him."

Princess Jinyu sighed: "You mean I don't have a son of my own, so you come to get close to me?"

Li Yu chuckled: "Even if my aunt has a biological son, my nephew dares to come and get close to her, because my aunt gave me my nephew's life."

Princess Jinyu smiled, it was good to know. If he really went to get close to the emperor privately, she would naturally let him know whose hands held his life.

"Stop being so glib." She said, sizing him up and calling someone, "Let His Royal Highness, King Chu, bathe and change clothes, and dress up properly." After saying that, she smiled and said, "I have a better life for you."

But he refused to say a word.

Li Yu didn't ask any more questions and just let Princess Jinyu dress up as she was told.

Although he was waiting to go out with Princess Jinyu, Li Yu returned to his car after leaving the house.

No matter what, he is an upright King of Chu.

After sitting in the car, Li Yu smiled before he could speak.

"The makeup she wears today is even more beautiful than that of Miss Li back then."

Li Yu's originally sullen face suddenly softened, and he looked at Bai Li, who was sitting in the carriage and dressed as a palace maid.

"Does it look good?" he said, his smile widening, "As long as it looks good, it's not in vain that I've been tossing it for so long."

No matter who Princess Jinyu wanted to see him, Bai Li saw it and praised him, that was enough.

"Your Highness, please have tea." Bai Li smiled and held up the tea and handed it over.

Li Yu took it with a smile, thought of something else, and said apologetically: "For my sake, you leave the ship. Are you okay, Nannan?"

Bai Li said that she set up a barrier to prevent people on the boat from discovering the child, Mrs. Zhuang and others.

Because he had no other choice, he asked her for help. Who would take care of the child? Because of his current status, more people are watching Lou Chuan. If it is discovered that Lou Chuan has raised a child, he is afraid that it will cause trouble.

Will she move to another place to live?

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to watch." Bai Li said with a smile, looking at Li Yu, "He does his best for you."

Li Yusong said calmly, but he was a little confused. Did he say something wrong? Why did he work so hard for him? Not hers?

…

…

On the boat in the afternoon, perhaps it was too quiet. The guard on duty leaned against the railing and couldn't help but yawn, feeling sleepy.

"It's shift change." A guard came over and said, "Go to sleep."

The guard happily responded, threw the knife in his hand to his companion, walked into the cabin, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

On the third floor, Huang Ru poked her head and watched the guard leaning on the railing, throwing away the knife in his hand, and fell into a deep sleep with a relaxed look on his face.

Huang Ru entered the room and took the child from the nanny's arms: "That's enough." She said and handed the child to someone standing in the room, "Shen Langjun, you can carry your daughter and walk around in the cabin. Can you not let anyone notice?" , although it’s still indoors, but the place is bigger, so she has more fun.”

Shen Qing's face was stiff as he hugged the child who was tucked in. He had never hugged a child before, so it felt different from holding Qin...

The child in her arms made an oohing sound and seemed about to cry.

"Go quickly." Huang Ru urged, "She likes to walk around now, otherwise she will cry."

Shen Qing subconsciously walked forward, looking helpless and a little annoyed.

Bai Li said that Li Yu needed help in a crisis, and he immediately came over as ordered.

Of course nothing could happen to Li Yu, and she was still counting on him to be a springboard for the empress to return to the imperial city, return to her position as queen, and pursue a great career.

He thought he would be asked to accompany him to the palace, but he did not expect that he would be asked to come and see the child.

He is a dignified Mr. Shen Dalang, who can kill people invisible. He is really overqualified and underused!

…

…

There were cars and horses in front of the palace gate in the afternoon, and everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes and jewels. Even so, when Zhou Jingyun arrived on horseback, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Should I say it or not, Crown Prince Zhou is becoming more and more handsome now."

"It's more romantic..."

"This romantic aura in him is more moving than the immortal aura."

Zhou Jingyun dismounted and his identity was verified by the guards. However, he did not walk straight into the imperial city. Instead, he looked around, as if he was looking for someone.

"Let's go and say hello to Prince Zhou."

"It's better not to go. Haven't you heard? He is very close to the King of Chu and intends to cling to him..."

"I don't believe it. What's there to be attached to in the King of Chu..."

"The King of Chu is here."

Following the discussion, two gorgeous carriages drove slowly over. They were the carriages driven by Princess Jinyu and King Chu.

Before the car stopped, the young man from the car behind jumped out and ran towards Princess Jinyu's car in front, followed closely by a maid.

"Look..." Someone poked his companion.

Are you looking at King Chu? The King of Chu was very good-looking, but with Prince Zhou here... the man still looked at Zhou Jingyun first, and couldn't help but be startled.

Zhou Jingyun looked in one direction, then smiled slightly, his dark eyes shining like stars.

The man was stunned and subconsciously followed Zhou Jingyun's gaze, and his gaze fell on King Chu.

King Chu also looked here, as if his eyes had collided with Zhou Jingyun's. The next moment he also smiled, his smile like ripples of spring water.

These two people…

A poem suddenly appeared in the man's mind, "Yin and Han are far away in darkness, gold, wind and jade meet each other." The thought flashed across his mind and made him shiver.

No, it can't be...
