"That's right. It's getting late." Gu Yunzhen looked at the sky and said seriously.

Gu Yanfei was a little confused. Isn’t this just now? Why is it too late?

The great palace maid pushed Anle's wheelchair into the palace. Gu Yunzhen walked quickly with Gu Yanfei's arm, almost half-pushing.

Everyone's face was filled with an overly bright smile.

Gu Yanfei looked back and forth at everyone, and always felt something that she didn't know had happened. She subconsciously pinched her fingers and started a divination.

A great hexagram.

Then since you come, let's have peace.

Gu Yanfei followed them through several door curtains and arrived at an elegant dormitory, dressing tables, screens, clothes hangers, tables and chairs, etc. On the Huanghuali wood coat hanger on the east wall, there were silver red clothes embroidered with phoenixes.

"Sister, sit down quickly." Anle urged happily, and then ordered the palace maid to press Gu Yanfei to the dressing table.

On the dressing table, there are all kinds of exquisite and complex head and face jewelry, ranging from hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, gold collars, earrings, jade pendants, gold rings, etc. The big rubies embedded in the jewelry shine brightly.

Gu Yanfei looked at Anle reflected in the mercury mirror and asked in confusion: "Is the Hundred Flowers Banquet about to begin?"

"It's not a Hundred Flowers Banquet." Gu Yunzhen covered her mouth and chuckled.

Anle smiled so happily, and with a bit of mystery, he interjected: "Today is my sister's banquet. My father said that he would personally hold a wedding ceremony for my sister."

"..." Gu Yanfei was stunned again, his little face a little confused.

It has been two hundred years since Gu Yanfei was a little confused about his birthday in this life.

However, she vaguely remembers that it was not on National Day.

Gu Yunzhen saw Gu Yanfei's confusion and took the initiative to solve her doubts: "Yan Fei, today is your birthday."

Today? Gu Yanfei was even more confused. Isn’t her birthday on the second day of March?

Gu Yunzhen hurriedly explained again: "It was the eldest brother who asked about it from Su Niang."

The second day of March is actually Gu Yun's birthday, and Gu Yanfei will be a few days older than Gu Yun's.

"So my birthday is February 27th." Gu Yanfei said almost to himself, his expression a little strange.

So, she is fifteen years old today, and she is in the hairpin.

Gu Yunzhen looked at Gu Yanfei in the mirror and said, "Yanfei, I originally wanted to hold a wedding ceremony for you in the mansion, but my brother told me not to prepare..."

Anle said happily, "Sister Yan Fei, you have been preparing for your hairpin for more than a month."

"I have helped, too. I helped to decorate the Qinghui Palace today."

Anle took out a silver pocket watch from her sleeve, looked at the time, and hurriedly urged: "The time is almost over, hurry up, Sister Yan Fei, you have to dress up quickly."

An Le Fei directed the palace maids to dress up Gu Yanfei.

It's almost time? When he heard this familiar sentence, Gu Yanfei was stunned and looked at the pocket watch in Anle's hand. This silver-colored grass-patterned pocket watch was exactly the same as Chu Yi's one.

Is this what he said just now?

Gentle ripples rippled in Gu Yanfei's eyes, and the corners of his lips also bent.

The palace maid skillfully combed Gu Yanfei's crescent moon bun, and cleverly braided some small braids into her hair bun, and wrapped a colorful tassel on the bun.

Gu Yanfei combs his hair here, and Gu Yunzhen walked over to the clothes hanger and carefully looked at the new clothes hanging on the Huanghuali wooden clothes hanger.

The silver-red large-sleeved dress was neatly hung on it, with no wrinkles on the new material. A large number of beautiful hibiscus flowers were embroidered on the hem of the skirt, bright red, pink, peach red, and water red. The hundreds of hibiscus flowers bloomed in full swing on the long skirt, with some golden threads on the material, radiating a dreamlike and colorful brilliance.

After looking at it for a while, Gu Yunzhen asked affirmatively: "Is this Phoenix Brocade?"

"Sister, you really have vision!" An Le ordered the palace maid to push the wheelchair over and stop beside Gu Yunzhen.

Gu Yanfei, who had just combed his hair, also came over and asked casually: "What Phoenix Brocade?"

Gu Yunzhen picked up the corner of his skirt with one hand and put the material in the sun and looked at it. "I heard that Phoenix Brocade is a new material from Yue Kingdom. Only when peacock feathers are weaved into the material will it have this beautiful luster."

Anle nodded repeatedly.

This material was ordered by the emperor to take it back to Beijing from Yue State, so he almost couldn't catch up.

Anle pursed her mouth, swallowed this little secret temporarily back into her stomach, and introduced the dress with a smile:

"Sister Yunzhen, Sister Yan Fei, look, the embroidery on it is the best embroidered by the Needle Palace Bureau. The hibiscus flowers on it are drawn by the emperor's brother himself. Isn't it very beautiful?"

"And look at this ropa, which is embroidered on both sides, embroidered with a parrot on one side and a cat on the other."

“…”

Anle and Gu Yun had a great time talking about the truth, and kept talking until the palace maid coughed twice, reminding her that it was almost time.

Anle hurriedly went to check the time on the pocket watch again, and hurriedly urged Gu Yanfei to change his clothes.

Today is the first time that her father and brother have asked her to do such an important thing, and she can't mess it up.

The palace maids pushed Gu Yanfei to the screen and dressed her.

Anle also ordered the palace maids to go to the Qinghui Palace next door to see the situation. Qinghui Palace is only separated from the Qinglian Pavilion where they are located, a small stone bridge, just on the east side of the stone bridge.

At this moment, the Qinghui Palace was filled with people, with fragrant clothes and beautiful hair, and pearls and treasures.

The beautifully dressed ladies and girls had already sat in the hall. Most of them were familiar with each other, chatting and laughing about family matters, talking about clothes and jewelry, talking about which one had a family member, and talking about which one was going to marry, and accidentally talked about the Lu family and the Hua family almost got married. So many strange eyes glanced at the female relatives of Chang'an Bo Mansion.

Mrs. Chang Anbo and Mrs. Lu Er both felt their faces were hot and a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Lu Er also thought about not coming today, but the posts from the palace were sent to Chang'an Bo Mansion. This was a grand event in the country, so Bo Mansion naturally could not be absent.

Mrs. Lu Er pretended to drink a sip of tea, lowered her voice and said to Mrs. Chang Anbo: "Sister-in-law, isn't today's banquet a little early?"

In previous years, after they arrived at Tianhe Garden, they would play in the garden first, such as running horses, playing polo, squeezing the balls, cuju, traveling to the lake, etc. The palace banquet began in the afternoon.

But this year is different. As soon as they arrived here today, the women were brought to this Qinghui Hall.

Mrs. Chang Anbo looked at the sun outside and nodded, "Yes, it's just now."

It's still early to the banquet.

Mrs. Chang Anbo was about to withdraw her gaze when she saw an eunuch leading other female relatives to this side. It was Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei's prince.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion had a high status in the court, so many female relatives stood up to salute and greet the Duke of Wei's wife and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, including Mrs. Chang'anbo's sister-in-law.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more lively.

After the wife of Duke Wei and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat down, Mrs. Chang Anbo quietly asked Duke Wei and said, "Will the palace banquet be hosted by the Grand Princess later?"

Mrs. Chang Anbo deliberately lowered her voice a little, but several female relatives around her also heard it, and curiously raised their ears to listen.

According to the rules, the palace banquet on National Day was hosted by the queen, but the queen who was present died early and Empress Dowager Yuan did not come to Tianheyuan today, so the only possible candidate is the Grand Princess.

Many female relatives in the hall whispered in groups of three or three, whispering.

Not only Mrs. Chang Anbo, but most other female relatives also thought so, guessing whether it was because the eldest princess hosted the palace banquet for the first time and did not have the queen's guidance, so the arrangement was a bit messy. Before the time came, they were asked to wait here in advance.

No matter how much I think about it, no matter how much I guess, the women all clicked until they were not saying too much, after all, it involved the royal family.

"no."

Unexpectedly, the Duke of Wei shook his head and gave a negative answer.

She didn't lower her voice, and the other women also heard the reputation, with a look of surprise on her face: If it was not presided over by the eldest princess, who else would there be?

The Duke of Wei continued: "It will not be a palace banquet later, but a wedding ceremony for Miss Gu Er."

Her voice was neither high nor low, and she resounded clearly throughout the palace.

The whole audience was silent.

Everyone was stunned, as if they were mute, and some even took off the round fan in their hands.

This news was really unexpected. It was never before that it had ever been held and held for a daughter in Tianheyuan.

The initial shock soon passed, and after thinking about it, everyone's expression became more complicated.

Even if the Duke of Wei didn't say it just now, no one knew that it was definitely not because the Gu family came here so boldly to hold a wedding ceremony. There is no doubt that this is what the emperor meant.

Not far away, a wife in her forties leaned over and whispered to another old lady in her fifties: "Mrs. Xiao, I heard that the eldest prince once asked the emperor for marriage in public. Is it true?"

This old lady Xiao is the wife of Shoufu Xiao.

That night, when the eldest prince was asking the emperor to give his marriage outside the Nanshu Room in public, Shoufu Xiao was also in the palace, so Mrs. Xiao naturally knew about it.

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded, her eyes flashed slightly.

That night, the emperor did not make any statement, but now the emperor actually wanted to preside over the wedding ceremony for Gu Yanfei, which means that the emperor agreed.

"This..." The middle-aged woman wanted to speak but stopped, grabbed the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and pursed her lips disapprovingly.

This Gu family is worse than an ordinary family with innocent family background.

This second girl Gu was removed from her home. Her grandmother and uncle committed a crime. Her father's crime has not been cleared yet. A girl like this actually wants to become the eldest prince's concubine, and is even very likely to be the future queen!

If the emperor had not only the only son of the eldest prince, everyone would have thought that the eldest prince was rejected by the emperor, so the emperor would have chosen such an unbearable marriage for him.

Many female family members of aristocratic families felt mixed feelings.

A gorgeous lady in her thirties thought for a while and said tactfully: "Lady Xiao, is the emperor going to personally preside over the wedding ceremony for Miss Gu Er? Is this right?"

The lady said it quite implicitly. On the surface, she was talking about whether the wedding ceremony was appropriate today and whether it was appropriate. In fact, what she really wanted to say was that the marriage between Gu Yanfei and the eldest prince was inappropriate.
