"Good luck to Zhizhou. You must have been very lucky in your previous life to marry such a beautiful woman who is skilled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. What else can you ask for with such a wife?" Chen Zhizhou sat in the men's seat with a constant smile on his face. When greeting the people around him, he did not hesitate to praise Gu Qing.
The distance was far, but Gu Qing could still make out something from his mouth shape...
She inadvertently met Chen Zhizhou's deep and narrow phoenix eyes, which were filled with deep affection and love, and his fiery gaze made her cheeks flush with shame.
Gu Qing frowned slightly, made an angry expression, and scolded Chen Zhizhou to restrain himself.
After all, this is above the imperial palace!
She had already upset many people by outshining the Northern Frontier Princess today...
If you don't restrain yourself, you will make more enemies.
By then, the couple would have made countless enemies and would be killed without a burial place. By then, her husband would no longer be able to show off!
"Eat quickly. I sent someone to get these. They are the candied pastries that you like to eat every day!" Mu Xin had a smile on his face.
The eunuch in charge of the emperor's affairs brought a carved mahogany tray, on which a handkerchief made of extremely precious golden silk was placed as a backdrop. A pair of gold medals of pardon were also displayed under the flickering candlelight...
The gold medal shone brightly, sparkling with a strange brilliance.
In private, Gu Qing took the reward with both hands with a smile, and took the opportunity to hand over the wedding money that had been prepared in his sleeve to the old eunuch under the tray.
A flower blossomed on the eunuch's face, and he couldn't stop smiling.
It seems that he has done this kind of thing many times. He skillfully rolled up his sleeves and put the wedding money into them.
This scene was quite secret and no one else saw it.
Even Mu Xin, who was sitting next to Gu Qing, didn't notice anything unusual.
"Young Madam is a role model among the women of Tianxuan. It seems that this phoenix hairpin will fall into her hands today. Let me congratulate her first." The eunuch smiled shrewdly, bowed and retreated.
Actually…
Gu Qing still has a clear understanding of his piano skills. At most, he can only be considered not as good as the best, but better than the worst.
She did not lie in front of so many people today. Everything she said was true. The music played today was not just any random piece of music.
These were just a few syllables she picked randomly when she was practicing her piano skills as a child.
Her mother had teased her at first, saying that this didn't make sense.
In fact, as long as you try hard and practice a lot, even if you don't have a routine, you will become proficient in it.
This can also become a bargaining chip to outshine and win the first place.
To her surprise, the performance skills of the noble ladies in Beijing were truly appalling.
Halfway through the banquet, the Queen claimed to be feeling unwell...
With Gu Qing as a comparison, it would be fine if someone could outshine her, but the next one is even worse than the previous one.
Originally, this was something that could help him save some face in front of the envoys from the Northern Frontier, but in the end it became a laughing stock for everyone. Why not end it early?
"It's only natural for the wife of the Third Young Master of the Chen family to take this phoenix hairpin. The women in the court should take you as a role model in the future. I also have high hopes for you. Although you are already a wife, you still remember to reflect on yourself. It's really rare!" The Queen smiled and waved the handkerchief in her hand, signaling for someone to take the phoenix hairpin away.
There is the golden medal of immunity and the phoenix hairpin.
Tonight, Gu Qing stole the show...
The more this happened, the more uneasy she felt.
Gu Qing bowed with a calm expression on her face. After taking the phoenix hairpin, she subconsciously glanced at Gu Yunzhao who was sitting in the men's seat.
The Queen's attitude towards the Gu family can be seen from this.
She was just doing what the king wanted. Today, Gu Qing stole the limelight, but she didn't mention a word about the Gu family.
It was as if Gu Qing popped out from a crack in the stone...
Many ministers in the hall pointed and talked at Gu Yunzhao.
The banquet was over and the farce finally came to an abrupt end.
Gu Yunzhao stood in front of his seat, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
"If there is nothing else, I will take Qing'er and go ahead. It's getting late." Chen Zhizhou walked straight to Gu Yunzhao and said in a low voice.
Before leaving, Chen Zhizhou seemed to have remembered something and said, "Then don't let Qing'er come over to greet father-in-law."
"Okay." Gu Yunzhao's face was as dark as iron, but he still had to respond.
Outside the palace gate, Gu Qing had been waiting here for a long time. She turned around and glanced...
Gu Yunzhao was being chatted with by several ministers, and the greetings were nothing more than the most common polite words in official circles.
No matter what, Gu Yunzhao is her biological father, and the Gu family and she share the same fate.
She was in the spotlight today, so it was normal for someone to approach Gu Yunzhao privately to chat and make friends with him.
"I'll go say hello to my father, let's go home." Gu Qing frowned and said in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhizhou gently pushed her arm, motioning her to move forward, and said slowly and quietly, "No need. I've already informed my father-in-law. It's late at night, and we still have a long way to go home from the palace gate. Staying up late is tiring, so it's more important to go home and rest early."
"The love between the man and the woman is so sweet, I'm so envious!" Mu Xin said, sighing.
Gu Qing gently patted her arm with a handkerchief: "Princess, please keep your voice down. It will be bad if others hear you!"
There are so many people outside the palace gate.
Mu Xin is, after all, a princess.
At this moment, each of them is taking every step carefully...
If you are not careful, you will get into trouble!
Gu Qing gave Mu Xin a meaningful look when she left. It was precisely because of their difficult situation that Mu Xin had a good relationship with her.
It’s better to have less contact with each other in the future.
If anything were to happen to the Chen family, she didn't want to implicate Mu Xin...
After getting on the carriage, Gu Qing was finally able to let down his guard and leaned to the side on the soft couch with a tired look on his face.
After tonight's banquet, her face was almost frozen with laughter!
"Young Madam, you have brought honor to us Tianxuan women today. This golden medal of immunity is an honor that can be enjoyed by those who have made great contributions to the founding of a country!" Cuiru's innocent face was filled with a smile as bright as a flower.
"And those few rolls of tribute satin are said to be the finest tribute from the Northern Frontier this year. Even the Empress only has two in her palace, yet His Majesty gifted our wife three!"
"Such a large box of jewels, all made by the Shang Gong Bureau!"
Cui Ru burst into laughter again and again...
Her noisy voice made Gu Qing unable to rest.
Just as Gu Qing was about to say something, the man sitting beside her interrupted her and said, "You're so noisy, be quiet!"
Cuiru was scolded and quickly covered her mouth with her hands and dared not speak anymore.
Who would have thought——
Gu Qing burst out laughing, "You are noisy too."
