"Everyone get up!"

After the emperor sat down, he began to look for Yan Yuanhao among the seats below.

"Yuan Hao, come and sit next to me!"

"I am terrified."

"What are you so scared of! Come here quickly!"

Yan Yuanhao had no choice but to take Xing Xuan with him and sit down beside the imperial desk.

I had only heard before that the emperor was particularly fond of this cousin.

Now this grace is materialized directly before the minister.

Even if I had doted on the Second Prince in the past, it wouldn't be like this now.

The ladies smiled with satisfaction as if they had seen their future sons-in-law.

Many young ladies of marriageable age, seeing such a handsome young man, lowered their heads shyly and whispered to their mothers.

I plan to wait until after the palace banquet to find out the identity of this young man.

Luo Shumin had never seen such a handsome young man with a tall and handsome face.

Her face was slightly red, and she approached Xiao Xu and asked, "Aunt, whose son is this?"

Xiao Xu had inquired about the Prince of Huainan before. Since he was so favored by the emperor and was called Yuan Hao, he could only be their target.

She replied in a low voice: "The one I was talking about before was him."

Thinking of their plan, Luo Shumin's face turned redder and she said coquettishly, "Cousin Aunt!"

Xiao Xu squeezed her hand and signaled her to calm down.

Gu Yanning had no intention of looking up, but when she heard the whispers of two people beside her, she couldn't help but look towards the emperor.

Just in time to meet a pair of indifferent dark eyes, she couldn't help but lower her head, and her red ears showed the unrest in her heart.

Yan Yuanhao had a smile on his face. Yan Ning was indeed as fond of laughing as she was when she first married into the Prince's Mansion.

But when did it change?

Perhaps it was because she knew that Yan Yuanhao had been poisoned and would never have children, Gu Yanning withered quickly like a delicate flower that had lost its moisture.

In this life, he will never fall into that man's trap again!

The banquet officially began, and dozens of gorgeously dressed dancers filed in.

But the court officials present had no interest in watching the singing and dancing, and were all secretly paying attention to the emperor's movements.

Luo Shumin also looked over there from time to time, and the more he looked, the more unfair he felt.

Why can Gu Yanning get engaged to such a good man!

If she had not been brought to the capital by her aunt, she would have been sent to the prefect's bed by her father in a few months.

Thinking of this, the look he gave Gu Yanning became more displeased, yet faintly smug.

So what if she had a good family background? She will still be matched with a playboy!

Little Xu is trying to strike up a conversation with the person on the left, the current Princess of the Prince of Jin.

Unfortunately, Princess Wu of Prince Jin had already heard about what little Xu had done from her close friend and was very cold to her.

Xiao Xu was embarrassed and accidentally caught a glimpse of the expression on Luo Shumin's face, and suddenly became a little annoyed.

She pinched Luo Shumin's wrist and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Put away the resentment on your face.

Do you think everyone here is blind and can't see your expression?"

She smiled and looked around to make sure no one was looking at her before she said, "Keep smiling and wait for my arrangements!"

Xiao Xu couldn't help but feel regretful in her heart.

This palace banquet was announced too hastily, otherwise she would have planned it carefully and found a suitable girl in the Luo family.

This Luo Shumin is really superficial. Except for her age, she is inferior to Gu Yanning in every other aspect.

"Yan Ning, a little girl should be more lively.

I see many young ladies have gone to play in the garden, you don't have to stay with me, go and play too!"

Gu Yanning looked panic-stricken and flattered.

"Aunt, this is my first time in the palace, and I'm worried I'll get lost, so I'd better stay with you."

When Princess Jin heard the commotion here, she looked over and fell in love with this gentle and quiet girl at first sight.

"This is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, right? How old is she this year? Do you like her?"

Gu Yanning thought of Yan Yuanhao's handsome face and couldn't help but feel a little shy: "To answer your question, Princess, Yanning is thirteen this year.

I once heard my mother say that she had arranged a marriage for me, but I didn't know which family.

On weekdays, the dealings with the Zhennan Palace are all decided by my aunt..."

"My sister has indeed arranged a marriage for Yan Ning." Xiao Xu tried to gloss over the matter while eating dates.

Anyway, he will be hanging out with that famous playboy in the capital soon, so there is no need to make things complicated and involve Yan Yuanhao.

Xiao Xu has already inquired around, and found out that the young master of Chen's family, Marquis Xuanwei, has not yet found a husband, which has made the wife of Marquis Xuanwei very worried.

If she sent Gu Yanning to him, it would be considered as a favor to Marquis Xuanwei.

Marquis Xuanwei worked in the Ministry of Revenue. He later got his cousin from his maternal grandfather's family to the Ministry of Revenue and donated him a fifth-rank position as a Yuanwailang, which was considered a promotion.

The more Xiao Xu thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. She looked at Gu Yanning as if she was looking at the God of Wealth.

Even if she doesn't go out, Xiao Xu has plenty of ways to get her out.

Gu Yanning thought she had been very careful, but she didn't expect that she still fell into the trap.

When the palace maid approached, she carefully protected her dress and did not let the palace maid succeed.

But I didn't expect that someone had smeared vegetable oil on the dishes.

Gu Yanning didn't hold it firmly, and the small bowl of Tremella and lotus seed soup spilled all over her light red skirt, soaking a large area of it in deep red, which was extremely obvious.

Originally, Gu Yanning was planning to quietly leave the main hall to change clothes, but little Xu let out a loud exclamation.

The officials and women around all looked over.

After being yelled at by her, Gu Yanning stood up calmly and apologized to the masters and ladies around him.

Princess Jin had a good impression of Gu Yanning and said to the maid beside her, "Lanxiang, this is Miss Gu's first time entering the palace, so she is bound to be unfamiliar with the way. You can take her to the back room to change clothes.

Just one thing, don’t go to the wrong place and get bumped into.”

How could Xiao Xu dare to let Princess Jin intervene? She refused again and again: "How dare I trouble the Princess? I will let Cui'e take her there."

"That's fine, let them all go, so they can have some company."

Princess Jin's tone was righteous and stern, and she would not tolerate any refusal at all.

Xiao Xu was anxious, but she had no choice but to agree.

Yan Yuanhao, who had been secretly paying attention to this side, knew that the show had already begun and he should be in position.

He also apologized to the emperor in a low voice, stood up and walked out.

Many people's eyes were fixed on Yan Yuanhao.

This also includes Luo Shumin.

She said timidly, "Aunt, I want to change my clothes."

Xiao Xu patted her hands and said meaningfully, "Go, don't run around."

Princess Jin heard their conversation and frowned, but said nothing.

If someone is offering money to her, why should she be a bad person and block other people's path to wealth?

After all, her thoughts were similar to those of most people of that era, who felt that it was no big deal for a man to have one or two concubines.

Anyway, these two people’s target is not her son.

Princess Jin was thinking about something, but Luo Shumin had already walked out of the main hall quickly, and she didn't look like she was going to change her clothes.

Lu Jiao watched the movements on both sides and left the side hall.
