Gu Yufei didn't want to talk to Fu Xiuqi about Xia Yu, so she directed her anger towards him and Du Shuting.
"My Ting'er is different from you. She is very understanding and generous. She won't care about such trivial matters. Moreover, she knows that everything I do is for our future."
"Really?" Gu Yufei deliberately stretched out her tone. "I saw that she was quite unhappy when she closed the window just now."
"You're wrong, she's not unhappy," Fu Xiuqi said stubbornly.
The two exchanged a few words and then lost interest in continuing the conversation.
Fu Xiuqi added: "Don't forget what you promised me."
"I understand. After it's recognized, I will go back home and talk to my father." Gu Yufei said casually.
After hearing what Gu Yufei said, Fu Xiuqi didn't know what to say, and the two of them went to the palace in silence.
The palace banquet is one of the grandest events of the year.
This is how Gu Yufei understood it: today was the day the emperor would invite all his relatives and friends to a dinner. Everyone would watch the performance, chat, and then adjourn.
What she was most looking forward to was the menu for the palace banquet, which was said to have 49 dishes, each meticulously prepared and unique in its own way.
Gu Yufei and Fu Xiuqi got out of the sedan chair, said hello to some of Fu Xiuqi's friends, and then went their separate ways.
Women in ancient times lived a simple life, taking care of their husbands and children, practicing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework... Gu Yufei chatted with them for a while, but then found it boring.
The palace was filled with flowers brought in from all over, so Gu Yufei went to appreciate the flowers.
As she walked, she moved away from the crowd and came to a small pavilion.
There is still some time before the palace banquet, so Gu Yufei plans to sit here for a while.
"Who is this lady? She is so pretty." A shrill voice came from behind, pinching her throat.
Gu Yufei's hair immediately stood on end. She was usually most afraid of hearing such androgynous voices. Gu Yufei looked at the flowers beside her and tried to pretend she didn't hear anything.
"Empress, are you pretending not to hear the voice from our family?" the voice said as it walked to Gu Yufei's side.
Who else except Eunuch Zhang could enter and leave the palace so boldly?
"Your humble servant greets Lord Zhang." Gu Yufei bowed.
Gu Yufei lowered her head, her peripheral vision catching sight of the black robe embroidered with a golden python net, which gave off a sharp and serious vibe. Even before the man in front of her spoke, she could sense his overwhelming presence.
"Greetings, Madam Crown Prince. I thought it was some lady from the palace coming here to admire the flowers. The palace banquet is about to begin, so don't delay." His tone was gentle, as if it was a kind reminder.
Gu Yufei looked up and saw a charming face. If Duan Yu was the most beautiful person in the world, then this face was undoubtedly the second best. However, this beautiful face was covered in white powder and rouge. Gu Yufei felt uncomfortable looking at it.
"Is there something on our face?" Lord Zhang's words interrupted Gu Yufei's thoughts.
Perhaps it was because his gaze was too sharp, Gu Yufei felt as if her heart was seen through, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Sorry, Mr. Zhang." Gu Yufei quickly took her leave.
Zhang Ling: “………………”
It wasn't until the lavender color completely disappeared from his sight that a smile appeared on Zhang Ling's lips. This Fu Shizi Consort was so adorable. Her panic and instant blush just now hit the tip of his heart.
