"Little Li, go find out about Madam Fu's affairs. The more details the better."
"Yes." Little Leo responded respectfully.
He thought to himself, Master Zhang usually lives alone, and officials from the court often send beauties to him, but he always declines and sends them back. Aside from Miss Shaoyao from Wanhua Tower, he's never even glanced at anyone else. It's truly remarkable that this wife of Prince Fu has caught his eye.
But the Crown Prince's wife is still a married woman. Even if the Lord likes her, what can he do? Is he going to snatch her away?
Only guards and palace maids stood along the way.
The surroundings fell silent, with only laughter and cheers echoing in the distance. Gu Yufei ignored the gazes of others and ran away, her skirt lifted. Finally, she arrived at her seat before the emperor took his seat.
The other people around were chatting and greeting each other. Except for Fu Xiuqi, no one noticed that Gu Yufei had not arrived yet.
Because of running all the way, her little face was flushed, with beads of sweat on the tip of her nose. The hair on her face was clearly visible, and she looked pink and tender.
Seeing that the hairpin on her head was a little crooked, Fu Xiuqi helped her fix it.
Gu Yufei was drinking water from a cup. When she saw Fu Xiuqi's hand, she couldn't help but dodge to the side, and the water in the cup spilled onto her skirt.
Fu Xiuqi's hand stopped in mid-air, with a look of embarrassment clearly visible on her face: "Your hairpin is crooked, fix it quickly, don't embarrass yourself."
Gu Yufei: “……………………”
Little Li stood at the back and heard the conversation clearly. Why did Prince Fu and his wife seem so unfamiliar? They didn't look like a couple, not even as good as friends.
Gu Yufei looked around and saw that the prince was sitting on the right side of the emperor. Because the distance was quite far, Gu Yufei could only see his vague outline. Even so, she could tell that he was an extremely handsome man.
Just like attending the company's annual meeting, there is a segment where leaders will speak.
The Emperor spoke majestically, and then the Empress's speech. Gu Yufei wasn't interested in any of this, but she listened carefully to the Crown Prince's speech.
The prince's speech was full of high-sounding content, but his body movements were a bit strange. Every few words he turned his head slightly to look to the right.
The new crown prince had only just secured his position and seemed somewhat immature. His speech seemed restrained, unable to flow freely.
Gu Yufei followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at Mr. Zhang.
It seems that the new prince has a deep connection with Lord Zhang.
As Gu Yufei was thinking about it, her stomach started to growl.
The hall was very quiet, and the rumbling of her stomach was clearly audible. The emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Well, since everyone is hungry, let's start the banquet now."
Gu Yufei lowered her head in shame, and her face turned red again.
The other women sat with their backs straight and their postures elegant, but her stomach growled uncontrollably.
Etiquette dictated that they could only eat after the emperor had picked up his chopsticks. Gu Yufei could only watch the emperor eat and then take a few bites.
"Eat slowly, everyone is watching us." Fu Xiuqi complained. He was worried that Gu Yufei would lose face.
Gu Yufei pursed her lips and put down her chopsticks, waiting for the emperor to finish his next dish.
………………
The banquet had a mix of meat and vegetables, and a bowl of peach gum and bird's nest soup was served. Gu Yufei loved peach gum so much that she finished the whole bowl in just a few bites.
