C75

At this time, Gu Shiyi was specifically picking out strange music bullets to play with. She just did not expect that Situ Jing was actually able to keep up with all of them, and she was the one who lost first.

It was only when the huge firework sounded in the sky that Gu Shiyi realized that the New Year's Eve guard had already passed.

Under Situ Jing's urging, Gu Shiyi had no choice but to take a short rest with him, because early in the morning, they had to go to the palace to pay respects to the new year and attend the family banquet.

Because of Situ Jing's relationship and the fact that Gu Shiyi earned enough face for her Great Xia Kingdom during the competition with Shangguan Xianyue, it eliminated the huge threat in Situ Ming's heart. As a result, after Gu Shiyi and Situ Jing separated from her Imperial Palace, they went to pay respects to Murong Yan and did not meet with any difficulties.

Although Murong Yan did not make things difficult for her, she did not keep Gu Shiyi for the Yi Ning Palace for lunch. She only exchanged courteous words with her and told her to leave.

"Eleven!"

Not long after Gu Shiyi left the Yi Ning Palace, a deep voice filled with deep emotions called out to her. She turned around to see that Crown Prince Situ Xun was standing ten meters behind her, looking like he wanted to speak, but was hesitating to do so.

"Your Highness, it's probably unreasonable to call this wangfei by her maiden name!"

Seeing Situ Xun's actions, Gu Shiyi frowned, and took a few steps back again, widening the distance between him and Situ Xun.

"Eleven, I was wrong to treat you like I did before."

"Your Highness Crown Prince, this wangfei is now your fourteenth aunt, why do you mention that again?"

Gu Shiyi interrupted Situ Xun's words with a face full of annoyance. If not for her consideration for the crown prince's identity and Situ Jing's extremely low status, she really wanted to turn around and leave.

"Eleven, are you willing to give me one more chance? I guarantee that I will treat you well and make you the most respected woman in the world! "

The more Situ Xun spoke, the more excited he became. He completely ignored Gu Shiyi's warning, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. If anyone listens to your words, I'm afraid that Your Highness's position will be slightly affected as well. This wangfei has heard that the Sixth Prince has gained His Majesty's favor in recent months!"

Gu Shiyi's face was filled with black lines. This Situ Xun, she actually did not know the shame of it, and only felt that if she continued to speak like this, she would not be able to wash away the shame even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

When Situ Xun heard the two words "Sixth Prince", his complexion greatly changed.

"Aunt Fourteenth is right. I was alone and rude. Please do not take offense, Fourteenth Aunt. Another day, I will definitely pay you a visit and pay my respects!"

Situ Xun's face was solemn and serious. After saying a few grand words to Gu Shiyi, she left as if she was escaping.

Seeing this, Gu Shiyi's face was full of ridicule. If Situ Xun were to continue like this, his position as the crown prince would sooner or later be lost.

She suddenly thought back to when she heard Situ Ming and Situ Jing mentioning the Sixth Prince from the Imperial Palace. Gu Shiyi could not believe what she saw.

On the road to Yi Ning Palace, Gu Shiyi had heard Lv Zhu say that the Sixth Prince had always been at peace with himself, indulging himself in the pleasures of the world, and had never been doted upon by Situ Ming.

Looks like, as the son of the Emperor, no matter how much peace he put in, he would eventually be annihilated by the river of power. I wonder if Situ Jing was also like that?

When she thought of this, Gu Shiyi felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment and disappointment. She had always longed for the ordinary and ordinary life of an ordinary person, but in her previous life, because of her profession, she could not live it in front of everyone. In this life, because of her identity, she could only be confined in the backyard of the Duke Palace.

Right at this moment, because Situ Jing was worried, the person who was sent to fetch her just happened to be beside her. Gu Shiyi calmed himself down, and revealed a very proper and appropriate smile, and walked towards the direction of the banquet hall, because the family banquet was about to start.

It wasn't until she was seated at her seat in the banquet hall that Gu Shiyi realized that Situ Ming really had many sons and wives.

Just looking at the black mass of concubines on the right side, Gu Shiyi felt a dark cloud over her head. There were only so many concubines, then the following concubines, to be precise, had the qualifications to participate in this feast.

Opposite the concubine were the sixteen seats for the emperor's sons. Apart from the sixth empty seat in the middle, all of them had been prepared.

In the front, Emperor Situ Ming and Murong Yan were seated upright on the stage, Situ Ming's smile never stopped from start to finish. On the other hand, Murong Yan had an unnatural expression on her face, with a straight face from start to finish. Only when Situ Ming turned his head to look at her, did she squeeze out a smile that was even uglier than crying, causing Situ Ming to be dissatisfied.

Situ Xun's position was only a little lower than Situ Ming's. It showed the nobility of his identity as the crown prince, but also highlighted the fact that Situ Ming had a higher level of authority than him.

and Situ Jing, on the other hand, were sitting opposite of the emperor and queen. Gu Shiyi could not help but think, since Situ Jing was ranked fourteenth, why was Situ Jing the only brother that came to participate in the feast?

When he looked at Situ Jing's legs on the wheelchair and the mask that covered most of his face, Gu Shiyi's chest started to feel uncomfortable, and he understood in his heart.

Situ Ming, he's really ruthless!

It truly wasn't easy for Situ Jing to live.

"Father, the feast is about to begin, but Sixth Brother actually hasn't arrived yet. He really doesn't put Father's face in his eyes!"

A tall and handsome man with a small moustache was the first to walk out from the prince's seat. He knelt towards Situ Ming with one knee, his face filled with dissatisfaction.

Gu Shiyi hurriedly looked towards Situ Jing in confusion. She saw that Situ Jing had extended a finger towards her, and it turned out to be his First Prince.

"Boss, step down!"

After Situ Ming heard the First Prince's words, his expression became slightly serious, and did not mention the Sixth Prince in the slightest.

The First Prince's face was full of astonishment. Just as he was about to speak further, he saw Situ Xun, who was sitting at a corner, shake his head slightly. Then, he shut his mouth and bitterly retreated back to his own seat.

At this moment, Situ Xun's expression did not look any better. The First Prince had just come out, and it was only under his orders to probe his father's attitude towards the Sixth Prince.

However, in the absence of the Sixth Prince at such an important occasion, royal father actually didn't feel the slightest bit of blame. Even people like them, who were also his sons, couldn't bring up even the slightest bit of blame.

This was the first time in Situ Xun's life that he felt the existence of a threat!
