The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Gu Jingzhi had already explained to her all the interpersonal relationships in the capital on the way to the capital. What he wanted to talk to her about today were some matters related to the banquet.

They are not married yet, so men and women will have to sit at separate tables. He will definitely be worried when he is not with her.

“In two days, His Majesty will hold a banquet to celebrate the great victory at the border. In addition to the concubines and princes in the palace, all civil and military officials will also be present.

The Zhenbei Army has attracted too much attention in recent days, so I'm afraid this banquet won't go smoothly. You are my fiancée now, and you are also a breakthrough point in their eyes, so you should be more careful that day."

Li Xi nodded. Before she decided to come to the capital, she had already thought about it. Throughout history, those who hold military power have always been envied by others. It can be said that they are surrounded by wolves.

It is said that when a whale dies, all things come to life.

There are probably many people in the court who want to move to the Gu family and redistribute power.

Similarly, there are countless such things throughout history, and whether they can be successful is often influenced by the wishes of the emperor of the time.

It seems that they are now in the upper hand, after all, Emperor Jian'an is on their side no matter how you look at it. However, despite this, she is not careless.

As the old saying goes, the imperial family is the most ruthless.

The friendship between emperors is the most ethereal, and it is not impossible for one to be in heaven one moment and in hell the next.

"Tell me what I'm going to do."

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Having said that, Li Xi was not actually too worried. After all, Emperor Jian'an knew his true identity, and as long as he was not stupid, he would not allow others to bully him.

"We will definitely not be able to sit together at that time. I asked Madam Weiyuan to ask her to look after you. Madam Weiyuan Li Mingshu is a close friend of my mother's. Besides, with her status, others will have concerns in their hearts."

Although men and women sat at separate tables at the Dayan banquet, they were still together, with the men on the left and the women on the right.

"I see." Li Xi knew that he was doing this for her own good. "This banquet is held to celebrate the great victory at the border. No one would be so ignorant as to cause a scene at the banquet, right?"

Anyone with a little common sense would know what kind of day it was and would be sure that someone would have the guts to cause trouble in such an occasion.

Gu Jingzhi smiled, "Nothing is absolute. Sometimes you don't have to do it yourself."

The first ones to make trouble are often just the pawns who are pushed out.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one. I understand." Li Xi fell back with lifeless eyes and leaned back on the recliner. It was really troublesome. It felt like she needed to grow a brain.

These days she has been eating and drinking to her heart's content and has been idle all day long. Her mind has been away from home for several days. Now it seems that new ones are about to grow. Are you sure she can handle the palace fighting, house fighting, and political fighting?

But the development of things will never be diverted by personal will, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the banquet arrived.

Li Xi was woken up from bed by Hong Tao early in the morning. She put on the prepared clothes with sleepy eyes. After a simple wash, she sat in front of the dressing table, closed her eyes and let her dress her face and hair.

When Li Xi was almost awake, Hong Tao skillfully put on makeup for her and did her hair.

What she saw when she opened her eyes was a very delicate self in the mirror. She blinked, and the person in the mirror blinked as well. Hong Tao's makeup skills were too good. It couldn't be said to be a complete transformation, but it was definitely a magnifying glass of her strengths.

"Hongtao, your craftsmanship is really good. You can even open a shop." Li Xi said with a smile.

"Open a store?" Hong Tao was a little confused. How could she open a store after putting on makeup and tying her hair?

"Well, it's nothing, I was just saying it casually." Li Xi said to make amends. Although you have been in this world for a long time, she still says a few inappropriate words from time to time.

But if you think about it, opening a styling design shop is not a good idea. After all, the best way to make money is to earn money from women and children.

For the former, as long as the conditions permit, it is impossible not to pursue better enjoyment and higher quality of life.

But this was too troublesome to do, and she would not stay in the capital for long, so this idea just flashed through Li Xi's mind.

Li Xi stood up and Hong Tao straightened her clothes and skirt. "Miss, the young general is waiting outside."

"Yeah." Li Xi lifted her skirt slightly. This dress was good in every way except that it was a little long.

Hong Tao pushed open the door connecting the inner and outer rooms, and Li Xi stepped out. Gu Jingzhi, who was sitting on a stool in the outer room, heard the voice, turned around to look at the opened door, and naturally saw Li Xi, who was dressed up.

Although Li Xi dressed up when she entered the palace last time, her clothes and jewelry were all prepared temporarily. Although they were very good overall, they were naturally not as good as the gorgeous clothes and jewelry she bought later in Jinxiu Pavilion and Zhenbao Pavilion.

Li Xi noticed the amazement in Gu Jingzhi's eyes and walked towards him, "What? Are you stunned?"

Gu Jingzhi took her hand and sat down, "It is indeed beautiful."

Li Xi accepted Gu Jingzhi's straightforward praise, "You have good vision."

She held her neck with her hand and shook her head slightly, "But it is indeed a bit heavy to wear so many things on your head."

It was just this time. If it keeps happening, she will definitely suffer from cervical spondylitis at a young age. It turns out that beauty comes at a price.

The banquet started at noon, but they had to go in the morning. Men and women in the palace attended the banquet together. Generally, the female relatives would visit the queen first, and then go to the palace where the banquet was held when the time was almost right.

But the former queen died young, and now the harem was without a master. All matters in the harem were temporarily handled by Concubine Wang, and this temporary position lasted for more than ten years.

So when Li Xi entered the palace today, she was going to visit Concubine Wang first, and then go with them to the place where the banquet was held.

Li Xi glanced at Gu Jingzhi, who seemed a little confused by her gaze. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, forget it."

She actually wanted to ask about Concubine Wang. According to what she had told her before, Concubine Wang was the mother of the second prince Xiao Su. He didn't give Xiao Su any face at the city gate that day. Concubine Wang would not make things difficult for her, right?

But Gu Jingzhi seemed to have guessed what she wanted to ask.

"No, Concubine Wang is a reasonable person and she is fair in her actions."

"Oh, so that's good." She hoped that what he said was true, but Li Xi always felt that the way boys looked at girls and the way girls looked at boys were different.

Thinking about the questions she was asked in the imperial study before, to be honest, she was still a little dissatisfied and angry. Even though Emperor Jian'an was asking questions when he spoke, the questions were also a bit condescending. But there was nothing she could do about it. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

In order to avoid wasting time, Gu Jingzhi and Li Xi simply had breakfast and got on the carriage to the palace.
