C100

Gu Danyan had never seen anyone in the bronze mirror before.

Her peach blossom eyes were even more beautiful than before, and her lips were dyed in a bewitching red. Under her black and gold clothes, there was a white crane flapping its wings, and it was even more steady and beautiful. Not to mention that the red tip of the crane was embedded into her chest, and the golden edge at the collar was even marked with a cloud pattern.

However, Gu Liuyan only stood up leisurely. She only glanced at the person in the mirror and then looked away. There were too many decorations on her head and it was a bit heavy, so it was inconvenient for her to lower her head and read the book. She could only sit at the side and stroke her head: "It's actually this heavy."

"Don't break it." Qi Rou quickly slapped her hand down.

Gu Danyan bitterly received his hand and softly said: "This palace banquet is the birthday of the empress, why am I still dressed up like this? Don't tell me the empress doesn't think I'm the host?"

"You are Crown Princess Jing, so it doesn't matter if you suppress all the others." Although Qi Rou had yet to enter the palace, she spoke in a deep voice, "The palace is not like the outside; all the people inside have their own identities. Even if it's for Prince Jing and yourself, you can't be arrogant and tyrannical anymore."

"You know quite a lot." Gu Liuyan harrumphed and rubbed his neck.

"That's only natural. How much makeup do you think Misty Rain Pavilion sends to the Imperial Palace every year?" Qi Rou covered her mouth and chuckled. She hurriedly helped her up and personally sent her to the entrance of the manor.

Duan Cheng Xuan was similarly dressed in a dark colored robe, as usual. Only her eyes lit up when she saw Gu Danyan.

This was the first time Gu Danyan had dressed up from beginning to end. From the jade hairpin to gold shoes, to the face that was smeared with rouge and cosmetic powder, it was much better than the face of a lady.

Even talking about Qingcheng was a waste.

But in the next moment, the person who was preoccupied with his or her thoughts tripped on the threshold. Duan Chengxuan only raised his hand to support him, but he heard Gu Liuyan patting his chest and said with lingering fear in his heart, "If I were to fall down like a dog and eat sh * t, then what will happen?"

"We can't make any mistakes when we go to the Imperial Palace." Duan Chengxuan reminded him in a light voice.

"Yes, Your Highness." Gu Danyan nodded seriously and followed Duan Chengxuan's movements to get her into the carriage.

However, when they arrived at the entrance of the palace, the two of them still had to walk. The servants in the palace all had their own rules, and not only were they respectful, they acted in unison and had their own rules as they walked.

Gu Danyan almost fell down not long after she entered the palace. Luckily, Duan Chengxuan held her and allowed her to support him. He even slowed down his pace as he was afraid that she would fall down again after wearing her new shoes.

"This shoe is a bit tight, did you intentionally wear this for me?" Gu Liuyan was almost ground to death by these shoes.

"It was your own fault that the tailor went that day." Duan Cheng Xuan naturally didn't want to support her into the palace, but she was even more afraid that she would fall down in front of the Emperor Queen.

If she had known that something would have gone wrong, she definitely wouldn't have done it so carelessly.

They were speechless, but they quietly made their way to the location of the palace banquet. Everyone sat down and waited for the Emperor Queen to arrive. As royalty, they naturally sat in the hall, while ministers and family members sat outside.

As the Emperor's only remaining younger brother, Duan Cheng Xuan naturally sat on the right side.

The Crown Prince, whom Gu Ruoyun had never seen before, was currently sitting with his consort. Gu Daiyan looked at him carefully. The Crown Prince looked rather thick, but the Crown Princess seemed to have a bad intention in her eyes.

The Second Prince sat beside the Crown Prince. In other words, the Third Prince was sitting at the table beside Duan Chengxuan.

Chang Yiqin was also properly dressed up today, and she sat by Duan Chengrui's side. When she saw Gu Danyan glaring fiercely at her, she let out a helpless smile and only took a sip of green tea.

"Bring me a bowl of pear and wolfberry porridge." Duan Chengxuan instructed the people beside him.

Gu Liuyan's eyes immediately lit up, she liked anything related to Sydney honey.

After a while, a eunuch brought not only porridge but also a small plate of food. He laughed and said, "There's still a long time until the palace feast. The empress ordered this servant to deliver these."

"Thank you very much." Gu Daiyan welcomed him with a smile and immediately took out a spoon to eat. However, Duan Chengxuan grabbed her hand and said, "Eat slowly, this is the Imperial Palace."

"Don't you usually eat very quickly?" Gu Daiyan was dissatisfied, but he still slowed down.

Sydney is sweet, and the taste is good.

Duan Chengxuan could only let his personality take its course. He didn't expect that the Crown Prince had already opened his mouth and said, "Imperial Uncle should really congratulate me for marrying this year."

Duan Chengxuan only raised his wine cup and indifferently accepted the blessings.

Gu Daiyan ate a mouthful of snacks on her own accord. Seeing that the crown prince's consort was staring at him unwaveringly, she simply picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Duan Chengxuan's mouth. As she did so, she smiled and said in a low voice, "Does this crown prince's consort have a grudge with me?"

"The crown prince and I have a grudge." Duan Chengxuan replied in a low voice, then explained in detail, "The reason the Emperor delayed making a Crown Prince that time was because of me. In the future, it was me who quarreled with the Emperor before making him a Crown Prince."

Gu Liuyan understood, but her other hand habitually helped him catch the leftovers from the pastries, and casually placed it on the corner of Zhuo's mouth. Duan Chengxuan only looked at the powder in her hand and slightly frowned: "Do you usually do this to others as well?"

"Otherwise? This piece of debris will attract mice if it falls to the ground. " Gu Danyan did not understand. She was used to this, but she didn't know where she went wrong.

Many people were already looking at them. The Crown Princess even chuckled and said, "Earlier, there were rumors that Crown Prince Jing and his wife were at odds. Now that we have met, it seems like they are a match made in heaven, and love each other very dearly."

When the woman spoke, the woman naturally answered. Gu Pingyan immediately answered: "Oh? "Where did you hear about the Crown Princess?"

"It's just a rumor in the city, but it's even more so that Princess Consort Jing often has a petty attitude towards the prince, as if she was still in front of the many soldiers in the water stronghold …" The Crown Princess didn't continue to talk, but she made it clear.

Wasn't it to tell the others that this princess was arrogant and despotic?

"Don't listen to the rumors, the princess consort. The matter of the water stronghold was planned by me and the prince." Gu Danyan bluntly turned the bowl of porridge in her hand and placed it into Duan Chengxuan's mouth, "I was the one acting out that scene for others to see, but only Your Highness knows if my small personality is real or not."

She didn't say it clearly. The Crown Princess was quivering. The others were talking about it too.

"With your sharp teeth and sharp tongue, you won't even be able to stuff your mouth with food." With a cold expression, Duan Cheng Xuan fixed her back to her original position, but her words were severe. The way she ordered her subordinates to collect all the scraps at the corner of the table was extremely considerate.

The two of them looked at each other. Their acting skills were on par with each other.
