Gu Feiyan was originally just an accident, but when she heard that the Eighth Prince's birthday banquet was organized by Concubine Yun, she was shocked.
She remembered that Jun Hanyin was born a few months earlier than His Royal Highness Prince Jing, and he is also 20 years old this year, which is the year of the weak crown!
Not only the Jun's royal family, but also the major families in the Xuankong Continent have strict distinctions between the descendants and concubines.
If it is the son of the first line, the ceremony of the weak crown must be very grand, and the ceremony of crowning must be held in the ancestral temple. The crowning ceremony is presided over by the father himself, and the person who crowns it must be a distinguished and distinguished guest. After the ceremony is over, there will be a big banquet to entertain all the guests inside and outside.
If it is the son of a concubine, the treatment will be very different. Although the ceremony of the weak crown is also performed in the ancestral temple, it is a simple ceremony, not grand, and no distinguished guests will be invited, and there will be no big banquet after the ceremony. Usually in the evening of the same day, the mother organizes a small banquet for it to celebrate.
The eighth prince is a concubine, and his biological mother was extremely humble and died young, so naturally the birthday banquet had to be organized by Concubine Yun. After all, the empress has passed away, Concubine Yun has been in charge of the Sixth Palace for many years, and the underage princesses and princes are all under her discipline.
Gu Feiyan took a serious look at the invitation letter, only to see that the person who signed it was the name of the Eighth Prince.
She was very suspicious. Since the birthday banquet was organized by Concubine Yun, Concubine Yun knew who the Eighth Prince would invite. Concubine Yun hates her to the bone, can she allow Jun Hanyin to invite her into the palace as a VIP? This is not right! This invitation letter may not have been written by Jun Hanyin, but it might have been written by Concubine Yun in the name of Jun Hanyin, right
Gu Feiyan thought about coming and going, and thought, this banquet is most likely a Hongmen banquet, so she can't go!
But, if she doesn't go, what will Jun Hanyin think? Her play is almost over, and she can't stop at this juncture. Furthermore, the banquet was hosted by Concubine Yun, if she didn't go to show her face, she didn't know what crime Concubine Yun would accuse her of!
You know, the invitations in the palace are said to be invitations, but they are actually no different from orders. If the status is not as high as the banquet host, it is impossible to refuse.
Gu Feiyan was thinking about it, but Xia Xiaoman became annoyed again, "Huh, little girl, we just say that you are very capable! Among the slaves in the city, you are the only one who is lucky enough to receive the invitation letter for the palace banquet. You Ah, it's General Cheng's blessing, cherish the blessing! His Highness the Eighth Highness is a formidable person, it's not that you can miss it to the end. Be careful not to see the watermelon, and you even dropped the sesame seeds."
Obviously, Xia Xiaoman also listened to those rumors.
Gu Feiyan looked at him for a long time without saying a word, and then said, "Jealousy makes people stupid!"
Xia Xiaoman became angry from embarrassment, "You! Say it again if you have the ability!"
Gu Feiyan didn't argue with him, and asked seriously, "Does Your Highness know? He will go, right?"
Naturally, His Highness Prince Jing would be invited to this kind of banquet.
She could only pin her hopes on His Highness Prince Jing. When the time comes, she will go back together with His Royal Highness Prince Jing, who can make a move on her
Gu Feiyan hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Is Your Highness not at the residence these days?"
When she was kidnapped last time, she had hoped that His Royal Highness Prince Jing would care about her, but this time she was kidnapped in Huayue Manor, and after she came back, she did not dare to expect extravagantly.
She didn't know whether His Highness Prince Jing was at the residence or if he hadn't come back. Ever since she annoyed him at Guiyun Pavilion that day, she didn't dare to take the initiative to find him.
In fact, Xia Xiaoman didn't even know Mang Zhong's actions, so how could he know the whereabouts of His Highness Prince Jing. He coughed a few times, and replied solemnly, "Lonely drug girl, our family has said many times, the whereabouts of His Highness, not our current people can..."
Before Xia Xiaoman finished speaking, Gu Feiyan left. Yes, Xia Xiaoman has indeed said it many times, she is tired of it.
Although guilty, it is a matter of my own safety. For the next few days, Gu Feiyan went to guard the gate of Jun Jiuchen's bedroom, wondering if he was at the house and if he would go to the banquet.
Unfortunately, she was disappointed.
Until the evening of the birthday party, Jun Jiuchen did not show up.
Gu Feiyan was sad, and she felt more and more that her fate with His Royal Highness King Jing, a lucky star, was coming to an end.
However, sad to be sad, she still cheered up very quickly.
Even if it was a Hongmen banquet tonight, she would not be afraid of Gu Feiyan. No matter what good intentions Concubine Yun has, she is always blocked by soldiers, covered by water and earth, killing gods when meeting gods, and killing Buddhas when meeting Buddhas!
Gu Feiyan made careful preparations, not just tidying up her clothes and makeup, but pills and poison, and a dagger for self-defense.
She went out half an hour earlier, not only avoiding the nagging Xia Xiaoman, but also avoiding Cheng Yifei who wanted to pick her up.
After dusk, the willow twigs are on the moon.
The Tai Chi Hall in the imperial palace is brightly lit, people come in and out, and it is very lively.
Today is also a birthday banquet. Although there are not many people at the banquet, the ostentation is still not small. Emperor Tianwu loves the Eighth Prince, and Concubine Yun understands it. No matter what she thinks of Jun Hanyin in her heart, the things on the table have never been treated badly.
Gu Feiyan came over on time, and as soon as she was replaced by the eunuch into the hall, she saw that the guests had already taken their seats, and the banquet was about to begin.
The main seat has two positions on the left and right, with Concubine Yun on the left and His Royal Highness Junhan on the right. Below Concubine Yun are the princes and princesses. The eldest prince is here, and Princess Huaining, who was demoted to a commoner, is also here. As for Jun Hanyin, the leader is Cheng Yifei, after Cheng Yifei are some noble children, descendants of aristocratic families.
Gu Feiyan looked at the eldest prince and Princess Huaining, and became more and more sure that it was Concubine Yun who invited her.
"Prince Jing's Mansion, the lone drug girl has arrived!"
As soon as the eunuch informed, everyone who was chatting and laughing suddenly stopped and turned around in unison. Most of the people were stunned. They obviously didn't expect that Gu Feiyan would be invited! As for Princess Huaining's eyes, it was beyond description of viciousness, it was like a knife blade, capable of killing people.
Gu Feiyan saw everyone's eyes. She is embarrassed, not nervous, and even less afraid, she is calm when she comes!
She deliberately took out the invitation letter and handed it to the eunuch who notified her, and then she walked in with a smile on her face.
The room was silent, and everyone was watching her. She straightened her back, walked gracefully, and walked to the main seat step by step, blessing herself neither humble nor overbearing, "Gu Feiyan, the medicine girl, pays her respects to the imperial concubine."
A flash of hatred flashed in Concubine Yun's eyes, and a smile soon bloomed on her still charming face. She pretended she had never seen Gu Feiyan, and asked with a smile, "So, you are the Gu Yao girl! Raise your head and let Ben Gong take a good look."
Gu Feiyan was not very happy about being invited here, but after hearing this, she was even more upset.
She came to Jun Hanyin's birthday party, not a special trip to meet her, so she wants to take a good look at what she means
Gu Feiyan raised her head and said with a smile, "The noble concubine really forgets things, the servants have seen the noble concubine in the imperial study, have the noble concubine forgotten?"
