The spring nights are short and the days are high. From now on, the king will not go to court early.
That is absolutely impossible. How could the wise and powerful His Highness Qin do such a stupid thing, right? Right?
Ahem... It's not that His Highness Qin doesn't want to, but that Gu Qiancheng has no interest in being a beauty and a troublemaker and won't cooperate at all. Even if His Highness Qin wants to be king from now on, it won't work!
In order to make up for his injured little heart, Qin Jiyan hugged Gu Qiancheng and didn't let go until the last moment.
"There is still a quarter of an hour, enough for you to change clothes." Qin Jiyan really squeezed the time to the last second, and Gu Qiancheng looked helpless, "Do you have to make me rush in such a hurry?"
"You can be late, I'm sure." Qin Jiyan said with a solemn face and full of majesty, but at this time, he showed the majesty of an emperor, which is really funny no matter how you look at it.
"Thank you, Lord." Gu Qiancheng saluted in unison, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Okay, I won't say any more to you, I'm going to change clothes. I... really don't want to be late today." Don't say that.
She is not a queen yet. Even if she is a queen now, she cannot be so willful.
She is not the emperor, and she is not qualified to be willful yet.
"Go, go." His Highness Qin also knew the importance of tonight, so... he let Gu Qiancheng go.
Qin Jiyan lightly slapped his hand and signaled the maid waiting outside to come in and serve Gu Qiancheng. As for the eunuch?
In Qin Jiyan's eyes, eunuchs are also men, and those who serve Gu Qiancheng closely must use palace maids.
The maids arranged by Qin Jiyan for Gu Qiancheng were all his confidants. Half of them were transferred from Prince Qin's palace. They had all met Gu Qiancheng and knew about Gu Qiancheng's position in Qin Jiyan's heart and his respect for Gu Qiancheng.
Cheng was very respectful: "Girl, please come this way..."
Normally, to host the palace banquet, Gu Qiancheng would have to take a shower and dress up in the afternoon, but...
Although Gu Qiancheng entered the palace in the afternoon, he was always with Qin Jiyan and had no time to bathe and dress up.
Naturally, the palace maid did not dare to say anything wrong with Gu Qiancheng, so she could only pretend to know nothing and dutifully changed Gu Qiancheng's clothes, combed his hair, and put on makeup.
Fortunately, Gu Qiancheng is not the queen yet, so she doesn't need to wear too complicated hair styles. She just needs to be generous and not rude. Similarly, Gu Qiancheng doesn't have to wear the queen's dozens of layers of formal clothes and dozens of kilograms of middle-aged clothes.
phoenix crown
Qin Jiyan had prepared the clothes and jewelry Gu Qiancheng would use tonight early in the morning. Gu Qiancheng was not a queen and could not wear bright yellow or embroider phoenixes on his clothes, so Qin Jiyan prepared a golden dress for Gu Qiancheng.
In palace attire, she did not wear a phoenix crown on her head, but she wore a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin.
Since ancient times, only queens can wear the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin. As for the golden palace clothes?
Qin Jiyan would never admit that he was amazed by Gu Qiancheng's golden dress last time, so he ordered this golden palace dress to be specially made.
The clothes Gu Qiancheng was wearing, except that there were no dragons and phoenixes embroidered on the clothes, were all prepared according to the queen's specifications. They were grand yet elegant. After putting on the clothes and putting on the hair accessories, Gu Qiancheng felt like a queen.
He changed into a different person, becoming dignified and graceful in an instant...
She put away the smile on her face and put on a cold and arrogant expression, and she really had the aura of a queen who would dominate the world.
"The girl is so beautiful, the emperor will definitely like her." When the palace maid saw this, she was also secretly surprised.
Gu Qiancheng's aura is very strong, so there is no need to worry about not being able to hold it down with this dress. When worn on Gu Qiancheng, this dress not only did not take away Gu Qiancheng's style, but actually made her awe-inspiring.
Gu Qiancheng smiled softly and said nothing.
Her clothes were too imposing and she needed time to get used to them.
"Girl, finger gloves." Gu Qiancheng has already dressed up, all he needs to do is put on the finger gloves.
Gu Qiancheng had never brought finger cots before, otherwise... wearing them would hinder his work, but when attending palace banquets, many women would bring them, so Gu Qiancheng had no choice but to bring them.
It has to be said that after wearing finger gloves, not only the hands look better, but also the momentum is stronger. Just standing like this, with a slight movement of the fingers, there is a compelling aura, and the maid serving Gu Qiancheng does not know when.
Kneel down.
"Get up." Seeing this, Gu Qiancheng made no exception.
She had experienced the pressure of superiors from the Supreme Emperor. It was obviously an intangible thing, but it was like substance and could make people breathless.
"Yes, miss." The palace maid stood up. Although she did not call her empress, she treated Gu Qiancheng as the empress.
Surrounded by sixteen maids, Gu Qiancheng walked out. As soon as she came out, she saw Qin Jiyan standing in the palace waiting for her.
From ancient times to the present, women have taken more time to dress up than men.
As soon as the door opened, Qin Jiyan knew it was Gu Qiancheng coming out. He turned around and saw Gu Qiancheng, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walking out slowly. Qin Jiyan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but stepped forward, "It's exactly what I imagined."
Same, very nice.”
"It's because the emperor has good taste." Gu Qiancheng replied with a smile, with joy and happiness in his eyes.
From this outfit, it can be seen that Qin Jiyan is dedicated.
"That's right, if I hadn't had good taste, how could I have chosen you." Qin Jiyan agreed without humility, holding Gu Qiancheng's hand and walking out.
At this time, the ministers and their wives attending the New Year's Eve banquet had already arrived. Seeing that the time to leave the banquet was getting closer and closer, these people became increasingly unable to sit still.
"I don't understand. Why would the Holy One allow an unknown woman like Gu Qiancheng to host a palace banquet? Isn't this an unfair reputation?"
"What qualifications does a woman with a bad reputation who has not yet left the imperial court have the qualifications to host a palace banquet? The emperor is really messing around."
"The emperor overcame all opinions and insisted on letting Gu Qiancheng host the palace banquet. Could it be that he wants to make Gu Qiancheng the queen?"
"The emperor wants to appoint such a woman as his queen, and I am the first to object. Such a woman is not even qualified to be selected as a concubine. If the emperor really likes her, it is enough to accept her as a concubine. How can she be qualified to be a concubine?"
…
Although the matter of Gu Qiancheng hosting the palace banquet has been fixed and cannot be changed, it does not affect these adults from expressing their dissatisfaction when Qin Jiyan is not here.
Of course, it wasn't just the adults who were dissatisfied, the ladies were even more dissatisfied.
"When I think of tonight's palace banquet being hosted by a woman whose engagement has been annulled, I feel uncomfortable all over. If it weren't for the emperor's face, I really don't want to come."
"There are so many noble ladies in the capital, why did the Emperor choose such a woman who wants to be born but not born, and who wants fame but not fame?"
"I must let her understand today that this palace banquet is not easy to host."
…
Qin Jiyan took it step by step, just to let the courtiers slowly accept and adapt to the importance he places on Gu Qiancheng. Tonight is the first step, but...
Qin Jiyan really underestimated the jealousy of women. In the eyes of these women, Gu Qiancheng's hosting of the palace banquet tonight is just taking away the work of their daughters or nieces. Which girl in their family is not better than Gu Qiancheng? Just pull out any one.
, and is more qualified than Gu Qiancheng to host a palace banquet. Why should Gu Qiancheng host a palace banquet?
Therefore, before Gu Qiancheng's people arrived, these ladies were discussing how to give her power...
