Following the report from the palace servant, everyone looked in one direction.
The man who came in was tall and tall, dressed in white robes, with eyes as cold as stars, and his face was not as rough and elegant as imagined by the general guarding the gate. Instead, he was elegant, gentle, and had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His facial features were extremely handsome. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
When Chu Yao came in, he glanced around, and finally landed on the prince. He stepped forward and held his hands: "See the prince!"
His fingers are slender and white, and the blue veins are very bright. It can be seen that they were once noble hands, but now they have many purple and blue scars and are weathered.
"Fifth brother is late, so you have to punish yourself with three cups of wine." The prince joked, showing off his skills well.
Chu Yao responded with a "yes", sat down in his seat, and let the palace servants pour wine, one after another.
The prince shouted: "Fifth brother is a good drinker!"
After Chu Yao finished drinking three glasses of wine, he put down his glass. He didn't know anyone on the scene very well, which saved him from trouble. However, there were always a few eyes looking over here out of curiosity.
The ladies also heard about King Yu's demeanor and kept telling Lin Jinyue about it, joking with each other.
Yun Zixiang didn't care about this, he just squinted and took a rest.
At some point, Cheng Shuyi walked towards this side, and the seat next to Yun Zixiang became vacant, so she sat down obediently.
"Sorry to disturb the princess."
"It's okay. If you have anything to say, princess." Yun Zixiang looked at her hesitant expression and knew she had something to say.
"I...the princess knows what the purpose of this banquet is?"
"Know!"
"Princess! I am dissatisfied with what you said. If I, Cheng Shuyi, want to marry, I will marry an upright man. I don't want to be attached to others, let alone be influenced by others."
Cheng Shuyi remained firm, and his eyes gradually became brighter.
This is the Cheng Shuyi she knows, not Princess An Ding
"If there was such a person now, would you be willing to marry him?"
"Ah?" Cheng Shuyi was stunned.
Then Yun Zixiang pointed her in a direction and followed the direction. It was a person.
Cheng Shuyi looked at it, feeling somewhat familiar, but he couldn't pronounce the name.
"He is Jin Yiwei Zhen Fu Shi, Gu Yu, a retainer of Zhen Guo Gong."
After what she said, Cheng Shuyi remembered that there was such a powerful figure in the mansion, but she didn't go to the outer courtyard all year round, so it was normal that she didn't know him.
But she couldn't think of anything he could do to help her, so she asked, "Princess, please clarify!"
"If you agree to him, you don't have to marry Su An."
Yun Zixiang's words were understandable. First, the Duke of Zhen had originally intended to make Gu Yu his son-in-law, and Gu Yu had a promising future and was upright and reliable.
Cheng Shuyi didn't recover for a long time, and it wasn't until the Queen Mother came that she brought her thoughts back. She didn't want to talk too much with Yun Zixiang, so she stood next to the Queen Mother. At this time, the curtain between the men's seat and the women's seat was just Pulled apart
Everyone salutes and greets the Queen Mother
"Is there anyone you like today?" the Queen Mother asked, holding her hand beside her.
This sentence was neither big nor small, and it naturally reached the ears of everyone present.
"I haven't seen it clearly yet."
"So, Su An, come and see Princess Anding!" the Queen Mother ordered.
Then she saw Su An walking up to her, slightly cupping her hands: "My lord Su An has met the princess, and the princess is safe!"
"This is the nephew of the Ai family. You can see that his appearance, talents and knowledge are all excellent." The Queen Mother said from the side, observing Cheng Shuyi's reaction from time to time.
Cheng Shuyi lowered his eyes. She didn't want to see him, but with the Queen Mother talking beside her, she replied: "Shuyi is still young, so the marriage should wait."
The Queen Mother's face immediately turned bad, and the aunt next to her reminded her: "Princess Princess! You are the Princess Princess now. In the future, in front of the Queen Mother, you have to call yourself a son-in-law or An Ding!"
The aunt used this to give her a blow and did not save her face. The Queen Mother did not say anything, obviously she did not care.
But the Queen Mother was obviously more concerned about the second half of the sentence, her face darkened slightly.
"Queen Mother, I think this looks like a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match for each other. Aunt An Ding is just shy of being a girl!" The prince came out to smooth things over, and the people who followed the prince also came to agree.
The Queen Mother's face looked better. She immediately stopped asking about Cheng Shuyi's intentions and directly planned to grant the marriage, but was interrupted by a voice.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The Holy Emperor's summons had arrived. Emperor Chu Wen bowed his hands respectfully to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother!"
"Meet the Emperor!"
"No gifts! Today is the princess's banquet. I'm here to take a look. You can do whatever you want."
"Your Majesty! Why are you here?" the Queen Mother asked, then waved her hand and told Cheng Shuyi and Su An to leave.
"I heard that my mother's place is very lively, so I came to take a look."
"The Holy Lord came at the right time. The Ai family sees that An Ding has reached the age of marriage. The Ai family's nephew is also a talented person. Besides, the princess is worthy of the number one scholar, which is a good story." The Queen Mother explained.
"Mother! I understand everything, but the Duke of Zhen submitted a letter yesterday to report that the love letter from Jin Yiwei Gu Yu and the princess's childhood sweetheart is still there this morning. Mother, please take a look."
There was no emotion or anger in Emperor Chu Wen's tone, but the Queen Mother was panicked at this moment and didn't know what to say.
"The queen feels sorry for her nephew, I understand, so I think the girl from Taishi Zhao's family is good, but the girl from Zhao's family got cold a few days ago."
Taishi? He is not a high-ranking official, and the Queen Mother obviously looks down upon him. Since the Holy Lord is here, it is not easy for her to comfort him.
The Queen Mother turned her attention to Cheng Shuyi again, called her over, and asked, "Do you know Gu Yu?"
"I know you, I've seen you in my house before!"
But only Cheng Shuyi knew that neither of them had looked at each other, only a quick glance at each other.
Then, the Holy Sage called Gu Yu over again, and Cheng Shuyi could see his appearance clearly. He was quite passable! This reminds me of the young man mentioned by the storyteller.
The Queen Mother asked a few questions, but couldn't find any flaws, so she had to give up, became unhappy, found an excuse, and left.
The Holy Emperor did not stay long and left one after another with the Queen Mother.
This good show is just over
