Traveling through the worlds, my husband comes here to smell the scent

"Today is my beloved concubine's banquet, everyone please don't be restrained..."

After Chu Yi's speech, he could not hide his high emotions today, and the people below echoed him.

"Master, why are there only some snacks at this banquet?" Luying whispered in Shen Youan's ear.

"This is the beginning. Later, we will serve the formal dishes while offering the gift."

"Oh oh" Luying nodded

It was her fault for being ignorant, because Shen Youan had been in Fuqing Palace for two hours. She thought that her master had not eaten anything this morning and must be hungry now. When she saw the cakes, she was afraid that her master would be hungry.

Soon it was time to present gifts. The emperor rewarded Su Ran with precious cloth and a large amount of jewels, which was a great honor for Su Ran.

The concubines beside him were all jealous. Now that the emperor was in poor health, it was difficult for him to even see her, let alone treat her equally.

Moreover, Chu Yi is not like the emperor in the book, who always goes to the imperial garden to appreciate flowers. In addition to the imperial study and his own palace, he also goes to court and goes to Su Ran's place.

Occasionally, she would look for Consort Xian, Li Jingshu, and it was impossible for anyone else to have the chance to meet her.

Seeing the people below envying Su Ran, Chu Yi took her hand and said, "My dear, your eyes are becoming more and more beautiful."

Su Ran's expression froze, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Before she could laugh for long, the palace maid presented the gift brought by Shen Youan. The palace maid said it was a peony gold hairpin.

Everyone agreed. Everyone knew that when the Prince's Mansion was first built and the Prince moved in, the Emperor awarded him this gold and silver jewelry. Apart from its exquisiteness and preciousness, this gold hairpin was left by the Empress Dowager.

Another important point is that Su Ran asked the emperor for it, but was rejected and given something else.

Hearing the peony hairpin, Su Ran looked towards Shen Youan's position, only to see Shen Youan still saying his blessing words with a gentle expression.

Su Ran only thought that he was mocking her, but she didn't know that Shen Youan didn't know about this at all.

Su Ran's eyes flashed with a bit of viciousness, damn it, both the husband and wife deserve to die

But she concealed it very well and was not noticed by others. She also smiled and thanked the Crown Princess for the gift, saying that she had liked it very much but had not asked for it before, and now she had it again, saying that she liked it very much and was very satisfied.

Chu Yi heard her say that and smiled at Shen Youan who looked well-behaved. He did not think much about it. After all, he never speculated on other people's psychology. It was others who speculated on him.

Shen Youan was stunned for half a second after hearing Su Ran's words. He said, why is there a hint of hatred in the eyes of the imperial concubine? It turned out that he had accidentally touched someone's sore spot.

The concubines in the audience also understood that they were praising the Crown Princess for her thoughtfulness and that the gifts she gave were beyond their reach.

Although it is praising Shen Youan, it is actually taking the opportunity to mock Su Ran.

Su Ran smiled. She could tolerate Shen Youan on the surface, but that didn't mean she would tolerate other concubines with lower status than her.

"Sister, don't be envious. Although this golden hairpin may be something you will never get your hands on in your entire life, it is not impossible for you to get it if you work hard."

Su Ran was telling the truth and gave a word of encouragement. At this moment, the concubine also realized that she had no status and mocked Su Ran like this. I am afraid that she had had enough of her good life.

The concubine was so frightened that her face turned pale

When Li Jingshu saw the virtuous concubine, she thought she was really stupid.

This little episode passed quickly, and everyone presented the gifts they brought in turn. After the gifts, they watched the opera troupe that Su Ran specially invited from outside the palace perform.

The women were very happy to see this. After all, their families were very strict and they could not go to such places. Only at large banquets would the host invite them.

Shen Youan watched it for a while and thought it was really good. After looking around, he realized that it was no wonder that he felt something was wrong. It turned out that Wuten Natila was not there.

Logically speaking, Uten Natila should appear. That arrogant girl will definitely be eager to present her gift.

But he thought about it and decided to forget it. It was irrelevant, so why bother worrying about it?

The emperor also noticed that Uten Natila seemed to be absent.

"My dear, why didn't Natila come today?"

Normally, this child loves her aunt the most and always praises her whenever she has something to say. But if it were someone else, Chu Yi would even suspect that the person was sent here.

But the other person was Natila, and when he looked into her sincere eyes, he found that she was really praising him.

"I heard from the palace maids that he was not feeling well and was resting in his room." Su Ran was stunned. If Chu Yi hadn't said it, she wouldn't have noticed.

She never thought that Wuten Natila would not attend her banquet. After all, she was the one she respected the most.

Now he doesn't come, is it because the medicine hasn't been taken yet? Su Ran was very angry when he thought of this. Good, very good, useless things should be abandoned.

"Ahem...Is that so?"

Chu Yi coughed a few times and nodded. No wonder, he said, if there was nothing wrong, why wouldn't this child come?

"Your Majesty, have you taken your medicine on time?" Su Ran saw him coughing, patted his back distressedly, and asked with concern.

"I ate it. It's an old problem. My beloved, don't worry."

Chu Yi smiled and said that he was fine, and continued to watch the actors on the stage. This was an old troupe, and the singing was still the same.

Chu Yi thought about it, his eyes rippled, and he felt a little nostalgic.

Overland

After some questioning, Si Jin was able to confirm that the county magistrate was one of the officials who provided cover for this group of bandits.

"Xue Pian has seen that bandit leader before."

The blush on Zhang Xuepian's face faded, and a hint of disgust rose in her eyes.

"I've seen it, it's awfully vulgar. Speaking of which, Daddy even thought about marrying Xue Pian to that bandit."

Tears welled up in Zhang Xuepian's eyes, making her look so pitiful.

"I will definitely talk to your father about this." Si Jin's eyes darkened and he soothed her.

"Really?" Zhang Xuepian smiled and wiped her tears. Master Lin was really interested in her.

"real"

Si Jin nodded. Knowing that this bandit leader was lustful, that would be easy to deal with.

"Will he come to your house again?"

Chu Yuxiao, who had been silent the whole time, asked

"I don't know, but the news of the two young masters' presence has probably reached his ears. Knowing about Xue Pian and the young masters, he will surely come over soon."

Zhang Xuepian then remembered that this bandit leader was not a good person, and she couldn't help but worry.

"Sir, are you afraid of the bandits?"

Zhang Xuepian asked tentatively, the elegant Si Jin

If he is afraid, then let him go. Otherwise, what will happen if he loses his life in this remote place? I think she is also angry with her father, and she can't change her fate.

Even if Master Lin is rich and my father has his eye on him, how can he defeat the local tyrant?

"Don't be afraid" Si Jin shook his head

"Sir, why don't you leave before he comes?"

Zhang Xuepian suggested while enduring the discomfort in her heart. The ripples in her heart had all disappeared. After all, Master Lin was the first person she had a crush on. She couldn't let him die for her.

Si Jin was stunned. He didn't expect her to say that. From the beginning, he thought she was a superficial woman who only looked at appearance.
