The atmosphere froze in an instant!
All the concubines in the palace looked at Princess Yuzhen and Yu Jieyu who was hiding behind Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian could sense Yu Jieyu's fear and nervousness. She looked at Gao Cairen and secretly cursed Concubine Shu for being such a coquettish fox who was always making trouble.
After all, Yu Jieyu came from Yuzhen Temple, so it would be inappropriate for her to bump into Princess Yuzhen at a palace banquet and not come out to meet her.
If Yu Jieyu had to be dragged out, she would be mentally ill and would act abnormally if she was stimulated.
Concubine Xian now treats Li Sixu as her own daughter, how can she bear to see Yu Jieyu become the laughing stock of today's palace banquet?
When she and Gao Cairen were thinking about how to deal with it, Li Sixu, who was standing next to Princess Yuzhen, suddenly spoke in a childish voice.
"Mother, look, what is this?"
Hearing Li Sixu's voice, Yu Jieyu poked her head out from behind Concubine Xian.
When she saw Princess Yuzhen, she was so shocked that she wanted to hide again, but when she saw the little white fox in Li Sixu's arms, her eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted excitedly.
"Little Fox!"
"Yes, a good and docile little white fox."
Li Sixu smiled brightly: "Do you like it, concubine?"
"like!"
Yu Jieyu's eyes shone brightly. First she leaned out half of her body from behind Concubine Xian and fixed her eyes on the little white fox. Then she couldn't control the temptation brought by the small animal and moved step by step in the direction of Li Sixu and Princess Yuzhen. Move over.
When she stood in front of Li Sixu and Princess Yuzhen, Yu Jieyu asked softly: "Can you hug it?"
"This is the little fox raised by Aunt Yuzhen. If the concubine wants to hold it, she must first ask Aunt Yuzhen."
Yu Jieyu then opened her pitiful almond eyes and looked at Princess Yuzhen.
Princess Yuzhen felt complicated when she saw Yu Jieyu who was as silly as a child in front of her.
He is just a poor person who never looks back until he hits the wall!
She finally sighed: "Xiaobai doesn't like to be close to strangers, so be careful when you hold him."
"Xiaobai will like fish."
Yu Jieyu took the little fox from Li Sixu. The little fox was really well-behaved and docile.
She was very happy and grinned at Princess Yuzhen: "Look, Xiaobai really likes fish."
Is it difficult for her with such a confused temperament to survive to this day in the palace?
Princess Yuzhen looked helpless: "Yes, you have always been liked by little animals."
Then naturally, Yu Jieyu followed Li Sixu and Princess Yuzhen and crowded in front of the table filled with food. Concubine Shu was dumbfounded for a moment as she watched a fox resolve the entanglement and hatred between two old friends.
Concubine Liu Xian was a little worried about Yu Jieyu, so she quietly took the talented person to sit down at the table next to Princess Yuzhen.
Seeing Yu Jieyu's innocent look, she pestered Princess Yuzhen to ask about the little fox. Princess Yuzhen answered patiently and even stuffed Xiaoshi with some food from time to time.
Concubine Liu Xian's heart settled in her throat, and she glanced at the disgraced Concubine Shu without any trace.
The last ray of light on the horizon dissipated, and the bright moon rose from the distant shore of Taiye Lake. Xuanzong and the empress stepped into the waterside pavilion where the dinner was held.
Li Sixu followed her aunt Yuzhen and her mother-in-law and stood up to greet them. Xuanzong made a move to stand flat, looked around and found Li Sixu and Yu Jieyu who were with Princess Yuzhen, and his eyes lit up. .
Because the long table for the palace banquet was laid out, Li Sixu and the others were sitting a little far away from Xuanzong and the empress who were standing above them. When Xuanzong glanced at them, Li Sixu just wanted to give her father, the emperor and the empress a bright smile. , and saw Xuanzong's eyes fixed on the desk not far away, staying for a long time.
Li Sixu looked away from Xuanzong's gaze and saw a beauty wearing a fairy skirt and a ponytail. She had a soft temperament and stood out among the beauties with fragrant hair.
Even with the bright and graceful Concubine Shu and Princess Yuzhen with a fairy-like temperament, this beauty is not inferior.
It's as bright as the moon covered by blue clouds, and it's as fluttering as the drifting snow in the returning wind. This is probably the kind of beauty I'm talking about.
The beauty nodded slightly towards Xuanzong, and Xuanzong was reluctant to look away from her.
Seeing that Li Sixu was fascinated, Princess Yuzhen glanced at Yu Jieyu, who was focusing her attention on the little fox, and sighed.
"That is Wu Jieyu, the biological mother of Prince Qing."
Princess Yuzhen stroked Li Sixu's little head: "Sentiment is the sharpest blade, which can stab people all over. It's okay that your mother and concubine are like this."
"Remember what my aunt said, protect your mother and concubine and stay away from this woman!"
It turned out that this was Wu Jieyu who had caused a dispute between her father and the queen over the issue of the title of Jin. After getting some advice from Princess Yuzhen, Li Sixu nodded obediently and looked at her gratefully.
"I know you are a transparent child!"
Princess Yuzhen looked at the fish beauty and hugged Li Sixu's shoulders: "Tonight's palace banquet, there will be a lantern riddle guessing activity on the verandah."
Li Sixu understands!
Aunt Yuzhen has something to say to her mother and concubine.
Facing the fragrant figures in the palace, in which she and her mother-in-law were submerged, Li Sixu, who had filled her belly, had long felt that the palace banquet was actually a bit boring.
"Aunt Lao Yuzhen is taking care of the mother-in-law, and Sisi invites Sister Yue and Brother Xuanhuang to guess lantern riddles!"
At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, there were songs and dances arranged by Tai Lecheng on the water pavilion, but they could also be enjoyed on the verandah outside the palace banquet. Outside the verandah, one could eat moon cakes, admire the bright moon, and guess lantern riddles.
Yue'er had already felt that the palace banquet was boring, so she sat next to Yang Guibin and quietly made faces at Li Sixu.
When Li Sixu was led by Prince Xuan and slipped out, Yue'er was already waiting in the corridor.
"Sisi, let's go watch Third Brother guess lantern riddles."
Yue'er pulled Li Sixu affectionately: "There is a beautiful rabbit lantern of Chang'e flying to the moon. It looks exactly like the pair of rabbits that third brother sent to Linglongju for you. Third brother said he wanted to win that beautiful rabbit lantern. .”
"When third brother wins the rabbit lantern for Yue'er, can Yue'er give it to sister Sisi?"
"Okay, thank you Sister Yue."
Li Sixu was very curious: "Is that rabbit lantern really the same as the rabbit that third brother sent to Linglongju?"
"Well, in order to make the shape of the rabbit realistic, the craftsman who painted the rabbit painted the rabbit fur on the lantern very finely, making it look exactly like a real little rabbit!"
The rabbit lantern her imperial sister wanted was naturally given to him by winning it from lantern riddles.
Prince Xuan was eager to try: "Where is the rabbit lantern?"
"Over there! Over there!"
The bright moon in the night sky echoed the lanterns hanging on the verandah. The royal relatives who came to the palace for the banquet also brought their families to the palace. There were many children about the same age as Li Sixu and Yue'er on the verandah in groups. Guessing lantern riddles.
