In the afternoon of the next day, a eunuch came to convey the emperor's oral instructions, asking Concubine Chu to go to the palace at You hour.
Chu Concubine asked the eunuch what the emperor wanted her to do in the palace. The eunuch did not answer her. He only said that there was a banquet in the palace and asked the prince and his concubine to attend the banquet together.
Banquets are usually announced a few days in advance. It is rarely as sudden as today, leaving no time to prepare.
Chu Yan had a vague feeling of bad premonition.
Qi Zhan's expression didn't change much. After the eunuch left, he ordered Nanny Liu beside him: "Bring me the satin embroidered butterfly skirt that I made a few days ago."
Chu Yan was startled. She remembered that the skirt was red.
Last time, I kept it covered and refused to let her wear it, but this time I took the initiative to let her wear red, but Chu Yan didn¡¯t want to wear that one today.
She said to Nanny Liu: "I want to wear the light blue one."
Just as she was about to enter the room, Grandma Liu paused, looked at Chu Yan, and then at Qi Zhan, looking very embarrassed.
Qi Zhan raised his eyes to look at Chu Yu, and their eyes met in the air.
He could see the timidity flashing through those bright black eyes, and her little hands holding the hem of her clothes also tightened slightly.
The snow-white fingertips trembled, and the gold embroidered patterns on the skirt also flashed.
He could tell she was a little nervous.
But even so, she still raised her chin slightly, with a look of no fear on her face.
Since that banquet, although the two of them have reconciled as before, she is not as well-behaved as before.
As if she had found his weakness, she would disagree with him on trivial matters almost every day.
Sometimes the moisturizer penetrates slowly and silently, and sometimes like now, it comes out of the blue and tests his bottom line over and over again.
Qi Zhan had to admit the fact that she was not as afraid of him as before.
He couldn¡¯t tell whether this was good or bad.
He stared into Chu Yu¡¯s eyes and suddenly laughed with a very soft voice.
It's like the breeze blowing against your face in winter. It's not strong, but it makes people feel cold inexplicably.
The little hands shrank again, the white cheeks bulged, and the red lips pursed into a straight line.
She doesn¡¯t like his strong desire to control.
Qi Zhan moved his eyes slightly and looked at Grandma Liu: "Mammy, what color do you think looks good on me?"
Mother Liu didn¡¯t expect Qi Zhan to ask her, so she hesitated and didn¡¯t know how to answer.
" Chu Yu does look better in red, but if she answered like this, wouldn't she be ashamed of Chu Yu?
She thought for a long time, then she decided not to help anyone. She closed her eyes and said, "I think the Crown Princess looks better in snow-blue."
?? ??Xueqing is lavender.
When red and blue blend together, it just happens to be purple.
It actually combined their thoughts into one.
Qi Zhan looked at Chu Yu again, but he didn¡¯t have any objections.
Chu Yu also thinks this is good.
She said: "Then wear a snow-blue skirt."
Aunt Liu went to the house and brought out the snow-green fairy skirt. The cloudy silk material was looming, and it was embroidered with a begonia butterfly with five-color silk thread. When she moved around a little, the butterfly seemed to be alive, and it appeared on the lavender skirt. Spread your wings and fly in the clouds.
Although not as bright as fiery red, it is as soft as the bright moonlight, adding a touch of gentle color to the agility.
??Mama Liu combed Chu Chu's hair, and found matching jewelry to decorate it carefully. At three o'clock in the morning, the two of them went out.
Before getting into the car, a servant who looked like a palace man suddenly came over. This time, he was not looking for Chu Yu, but handed an envelope sealed with beeswax to Qi Zhan.
" is Zhao Yunqing's handwriting.
Qi Zhan tore open the envelope and took a cursory look at it. Although his expression did not change much, Chu Yu could clearly feel that the aura around him was a bit colder.
Chu Yan frowned and asked, "What is written in the letter?"
Qi Zhan folded the letter and put it away, and said calmly: "Ding Zhengwen is going back to Dajing. Concubine Hui has hosted a banquet and wants you to see Ding Zhengwen off."
"Hui Concubine?" Chu Concubine was very surprised: "What does this have to do with Hui Concubine?"
Qi Zhan did not answer her words, but took her hand and got into the carriage.
Although there was a small heater burning in the car, Chu Yan still felt a little cold.
She remembered that Hui concubine seemed to be the second daughter of Zhuang Guogong, and Qi Zhan once had a relationship with Zhuang Guogong.bsp; There were three people sitting around a round table in the palace. Ding Zhengwen was on Chu's left, and Hui was on her right. The two of them sandwiched her in the middle. They were talking to each other, making Chu's head confused.
Ding Zhengwen drank a little wine, as if he had gained courage, and since there were no outsiders in the palace, he kept mentioning past events to Concubine Chu intentionally or unintentionally, but Concubine Chu ignored them all.
But Hui Concubine on the other side is not so easy to fool.
While holding dishes for Chu Concubine, she smiled and said: "At the last banquet, I wanted to say a few words to the Crown Princess, but there were too many people at that time, and the Crown Princess left in a hurry, so I had to give up. Okay. This time, thanks to Minister Ding's favor, I have the opportunity to have a few words with the Crown Princess."
Chu concubine couldn't figure out the purpose of Hui concubine's visit, so she didn't say anything and just responded with a smile.
Such back and forth made Hui Bin feel a little depressed.
She originally wanted to support Chu Yu first so that Chu Yu could relax her vigilance, but she didn't expect Chu Yu to have such a restless temper. She felt a little tired after saying too many polite words, so she simply changed her strategy. .
"It's not without reason that I see the Crown Princess being so affectionate. When the Crown Prince and my sister were engaged, they often got married like you do now. Outsiders said they were a golden boy and a beautiful girl, a perfect match. It's a pity that my sister was so unlucky that she passed away before she could marry the prince"
Hui Bin's voice was choked with sobs, and she continued: "I have often thought of my sister over the years, especially when I saw the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince attending a banquet that day. I was thinking, if my sister was still here, would she be like this? The Crown Princess is always protecting the Crown Prince"
When she said this, Chu Yan happened to put a piece of steamed cake into her mouth. The steamed cake was made of glutinous rice, and it became a sticky ball in her mouth. It was hard to chew and swallow, and it was really nauseating.
However, Hui Bin specifically mentioned Tong Lan, which made Chu Yu's previous worries faintly resurface.
Could it be that Hui Bin already knew that Qi Zhan killed her sister?
Chu¡¯s heart tightened.
If Duke Zhuang also knew about it, wouldn't Qi Zhan be in danger? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
