Qi Chuchu and Qian Yu were collecting dried rose petals when Jinxiu suddenly arrived beside the queen.

"My servant has met Mr. Xi. He is in a good mood today." Jinxiu said with a smile.

"I'm in good spirits today, but I don't know what brought Aunt Jinxiu here." Qi Chuchu also smiled politely.

Then Jinxiu also talked about her real reason for coming. Today is the reception banquet for His Royal Highness Duan Wang to welcome the Buddha's bones back and bring them to Baohua Temple. Everyone in the harem will attend, and the noble Xi will also go.

Qi Chuchu had only finished speaking half of her evasive words when Jinxiu said, "My lord Xi, the emperor personally told the empress that welcoming back the Buddha's bones is a major event. It's time for everyone to celebrate together. Your noble body is weak, so you should go and walk around to soak up the blessings."

.”

Haha, Qi Chuchu sneered in his heart, but said softly on his face, "I know, Qiujiang, send Aunt Jinxiu to you quickly."

After seeing off Jinxiu, Qi Chuchu went to take a bath, dress up, and prepare for the palace banquet in the evening.

She always felt that something would happen at the banquet.

When they arrived at the main hall where the palace banquet was held, Qi Chuchu had just sat down when Zhaoruo and her mother concubine Qin Taifei arrived. Zhaoruo was happily meeting Qi Chuchu, but Qin Taifei pulled Zhaoruo away with a cold face.

Qi Chuchu smiled helplessly, that's it, that's an elder.

"Hey, isn't that Xi Guiren? She came out today?" Yun Feiran said deliberately.

"Sister Yun, it is an auspicious event for His Royal Highness Duan Wang to welcome back the Buddha's bones. Xigui is very sick, so he naturally wants to take advantage of the blessings. But this person should be more self-aware sometimes, and he makes others feel uncomfortable for no reason.

She doesn't know yet." Shen Zhaoyi, who was sitting on one side, answered.

"If I were her, I wouldn't come out and embarrass myself."

"That's right, shameless."

The shrill voices of a few people made the others hide their faces and laugh.

Qi Chuchu sat upright, pretending that she didn't hear those bullshit, since her position was biased anyway.

Zhaoruo was very angry when he heard this. He wanted to speak but was glared at by his mother and concubine. It happened that the empress and the empress dowager arrived at this time, and everyone stood up and saluted to greet them.

The Empress Dowager is in good health and well-loved. As for the Empress Dowager, she devotes herself to praying for the late Emperor, worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist hall all day long, and never leaving the world.

The Empress Dowager sat on the left side of the emperor's seat, and the Queen on the right. The first thing the Empress Dowager said was to ask if Mr. Xi was there.

Qi Chuchu had no choice but to stand up and said, "I'm here, I've met the Empress Dowager."

"Well, it's true that she is beautiful, but I heard that she is weak and has been sick?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, my concubine is fine now. Thank you very much for your concern."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled and asked Qi Chuchu to sit down without saying anything else.

After a while, Mu Chenjing and Mu Chenduan arrived at the main hall one after the other.

At first, Qi Chuchu could only see the profile of Mu Chenduan's face from where she was sitting, and she just thought it looked familiar. But when Mu Chenduan sat down and their eyes met briefly, Qi Chuchu almost knocked over the tea bowl in his hand.

"How could it be him? Is he His Royal Highness Duan Wang?" Qi Chuchu said silently, hurriedly putting away the panic of that moment.

She also suddenly understood why after rescuing her from the cottage that day, the two of them had to wait a day before leaving her at the inn, just to humiliate the emperor!

It seems that there is a complicated relationship between King Duan and the current emperor? But why am I the one who is injured?

Just thinking about this level made Qi Chuchu feel like breathing fire.

"It's all these songs and dances all the time, and I'm tired of watching them. I heard that Xigui's dancing skills are the best in Xixia, why don't the emperor order Xigui to perform a dance?" King Qingyang said, with a frivolous expression.

A few more people responded, but Mu Chenjing was busy drinking and had not spoken yet.

After he put down the glass cup in his hand, everyone saw that the emperor waved his hand, and all the dancers went down.

"Uncle Emperor, Mr. Xi is still ill and has not recovered yet. He probably won't be able to perform the dance. However, I have another matter concerning Mr. Xi and my fifth brother."

"Emperor, what's the matter?" asked the Empress Dowager.

The eyes of everyone else were also attracted to Mu Chenjing, wanting to hear the gossip firsthand.

"Two days ago, the Imperial Master observed the celestial phenomena at night and concluded that the return of the fifth brother to welcome the Buddha's bones may be accompanied by misfortune and misfortune, and there will be signs of yin and yang being out of harmony. If not reconciled in time, there will be danger for life within a year."

"However, the appearance of the Lou star next to the main star will lead to a turning point in the situation. According to the inference of the national master, the person who made the turning point coincides with the birth date of Xigui. In my opinion, Xigui must be given to the fifth brother to solve the crisis.

ah."

As soon as the words fell, the hall fell into a dead silence, and all the concubines were in an uproar.

Yun Feiran was even more dumbfounded. Prince Duan had not yet married, how could he marry such a woman? Even if he did marry, it would be to a noble girl like her sister Yun Luoran! The most important thing is that her sister has been in love with Prince Duan for many years.

!

"Your Majesty, my dear Xi is already your concubine, how can I remarry His Highness Prince Duan?" Yun Feiran said.

"It is about the life of my fifth brother, so naturally I will not stand idly by. I cherish you! I will resume my status as Princess Qingcheng and enter the palace as Princess Duan in three days!"

"What do you think, Princess Qingcheng?" Mu Chenjing turned to Qi Chuchudao, with a proud smile on his lips.

Qi Chuchu looked expressionless, but only she knew that her nails had long been dug into her flesh.

But now, she has no capital to resist the will of the superior. She is like a lifeless tool and can only endure the humiliation and bear the burden.

Everyone saw a cool and stunning figure standing up calmly in the corner of the banquet, smiling and saying, "It is Qingcheng's blessing to be able to relieve the worries of the Emperor and His Highness Duan Wang."

"Okay! It's settled then!"

In this way, the matter was confirmed. The Queen Mother had restored her original calmness and smile, and congratulated Mu Chenduan with a smile.

Although he was shocked, Mu Chenduan quickly accepted the fact. However, when he accidentally saw Qi Chuchu in the corner, he still felt a sense of compassion.

After the palace banquet ended, everyone slowly left the table.

"Hey, Mr. Xi is so drunk? Could it be that you are too happy today?" Shen Zhaoyi said sarcastically.

"How can you not be happy? You are still a little noble person. After today, you will become Princess Duan. Princess Qingcheng is really lucky to be the one who breaks the situation." Zuo Shuyi followed.
