This time the prince welcomed his concubine, and the emperor gave the Fang family enough face to put aside a lot of memorials and come here specifically to join in the fun.
A smile appeared on the queen's face. The emperor gave face to the Fang family, which also gave face to the East Palace, letting these people know that the prince's position as heir apparent was stable and unshakable.
Under the control of the Ministry of Etiquette, Fang Xinyan served tea to the emperor, queen, and princess, and the ceremony was considered complete.
The concubine was sent into the new house, fine wine and delicacies were served like water, and everyone took their seats one by one according to their status.
Yunchu and Lin sat together.
When Mrs. Lin heard about the Queen's intention, she looked a little unhappy and said, "I didn't expect the Queen to have such thoughts."
Gongsun Ning is not a good match, and the queen's behavior is really disgusting.
She didn't want her daughter to just come out of the wolf's den in the Xie family and then turn around and enter a tiger's den.
The mother and daughter ate quietly.
As they drank and drank, the banquet gradually came to an end.
Yun Chu got up and went to Gong's room.
Qiu Tong followed her. Halfway there, Qiu Tong's voice condensed: "Miss, there is someone following us."
Yun Chu frowned.
This is the East Palace, and the emperor and queen are all here. Who is so bold as to dare to cause trouble here?
She walked around a flower stand, then suddenly stopped and turned around, and saw the eldest son of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Ning, who was dressed luxuriously.
Being discovered, Gongsun Ning didn't feel embarrassed at all, waving his folding fan and approaching: "It's really fate to meet Miss Yun here."
He finally asked the queen's aunt to be a matchmaker for him, but her aunt actually told him that Yun Chu refused to marry into Gongsun's family.
His father is the current uncle of the country, his aunt is the mother of a country, and his cousin is the future emperor. With his status, many women are flocking to him, but this woman in front of him actually refused.
However, it is understandable that she refuses. After all, she is the most beautiful woman in the capital and the eldest daughter of the Yun family, so she is naturally proud.
"Miss Yun, you lost your husband and I lost my wife. You and I are a perfect match." Gongsun Ning took a step forward, "When you become the eldest wife of Gongsun, I will ask the Queen's aunt to come forward and ask the Emperor to return your Yun The family is clean."
Yun Chu lowered his head and said: "The pure will become clear from themselves, and the turbid will become turbid. Sooner or later, the matter of the Yun family will come to light, so I won't trouble Lord Gongsun."
Gongsun Ning's face turned cold: "Ms. Yun, you are toasting me instead of eating the fine wine. You have to know that there are many women who want to be my wife, but I only fall in love with you. You have been married before, and you can still be Gongsun. Madam of the family, this is your honor. If you refuse, I cannot guarantee that the position of head wife will be reserved for you."
As he said this, he closed the paper fan and slowly approached Yun Chu's chin, trying to provoke her face.
He really wanted to take a closer look at how stunning this face was.
However.
Just when his paper fan was just a few feet away from his chin.
A strong wind came.
Gongsun Ning only felt pain in his wrist, and then he was kicked in the chest, and his whole body fell to the ground.
He looked up and saw King Pingxi standing there, his tall body completely blocking Yunchu's figure.
"You!" Gongsun Ning was furious, "King Pingxi, you and I have always been in harmony with each other, but you actually attacked me. I want to tell my aunt!"
Chu Yi said quietly: "Please."
His calm look made Gongsun Ning even angrier. He got up from the ground, turned around and walked forward.
Chu Yi turned around: "Are you okay?"
Yun Chu shook his head. Before anything could happen, this man appeared.
Like a big mountain, it stood in front of her and blocked all the wind and rain for her... although she was no longer afraid of the wind and rain.
She said: "Be careful, the evildoer will complain first. Your Majesty, let's go there quickly."
Chu Yi took a step slower, walked side by side with her, walked to an open place, and then distanced herself.
Neither of them noticed that there was a figure sitting quietly in the flower forest, wearing light green clothes, almost blending in with the flowers and plants.
The man looked sickly pale and stood up holding on to a branch, as if he would fall over if he was blown away.
It was Chu Rui who requested the order to revoke his title.
"Master, I finally found you. It's windy here, so I'm going to catch a cold..."
The little eunuch helped Chu Rui out of the flower forest.
Chu Rui's eyes were still looking in the direction where Yun Chu disappeared.
He was wondering why the eldest daughter of the Yun family, Heli, and Chu Yi were so familiar with each other?
The wedding banquet is almost over.
The emperor chatted with several ministers for a while, then stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, Gongsun's eldest son rushed in, clutching his chest with an indignant look, and knelt down in front of the emperor and empress with a plop: "Your Majesty, Aunt Empress, please make the decision for me."
The queen always loved her nephew, so she immediately walked down the steps and helped Gongsun Ning up: "What happened?"
Gongsun Ning covered his chest where he was kicked and coughed violently for a few times before complaining: "Aunt, it's..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
There was a woman's cry.
Gongsun Ning was interrupted and turned around to see Yun Chu crying and kneeling beside him.
For such a great beauty, if she cries casually, it will be like pear blossoms and rain. It can be said that the loving peonies contain spring tears, and the powerless roses lie on the branches of dawn, which arouses pity.
Gongsun Ning completely forgot what he was going to say.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, the Yun family has been loyal and loyal for generations, protecting the family and the country. Now my daughter's father has just disappeared and has not been convicted. Why do some people bully the Yun family girls like this..." Yun Chu knelt on the ground, choking and crying. , "Master Gongsun failed to get married, so he became angry and teased his daughter. If King Pingxi hadn't happened to pass by, my daughter would have been humiliated and committed suicide to prove her innocence!"
Tears fell one by one as she spoke.
Gongsun Ning was stunned and wished he could hold the beauty in his arms and coax her.
But he was kicked hard by the queen. He raised his head to meet the queen's cold eyes, and he woke up with a jolt.
He immediately said: "Yes, it was she who seduced Wei Chen, but Wei Chen was unmoved, so she became angry and framed him. King Pingxi was deceived by her and kicked Wei Chen!"
Mrs. Lin stood up anxiously: "Impossible, Chu'er can't do such a thing!"
The queen said coldly: "It is absolutely impossible for the descendants of my Gongsun family to humiliate a woman. There must be a misunderstanding about this matter."
"I can see it with my own eyes." Chu Yi said in a low voice, "According to the law of this dynasty, anyone who molests a woman will be punished with thirty rods. If a woman commits suicide in shame and anger, she will be hanged."
Gongsun Ning's eyes darkened. He hadn't even touched a single hair of Yun Chu's hair. How could he be considered a tease?
The queen said calmly: "Yier, what you see alone may not be true."
"Reporting to the Queen, I also saw it." Chu Rui helped the young eunuch and stepped forward, "It is indeed Lord Gongsun who intended to humiliate Miss Yun, but he was stopped by King Pingxi before he could do anything wrong."
Although he no longer has the title of Prince Zhuang, he is still a member of the royal family. He rarely appears on such occasions, and he does not participate in such right and wrong. His words still have some weight.
First, King Pingxi said that he could see it with his own eyes.
Then Chu Rui said that he also saw it.
Two people with unusual identities came forward as witnesses.
The queen's expression finally changed a bit.
