The Poison Emperor is originally a daughter

Five days later, it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday.The palace has prepared for this night banquet for many days, and it will be a grand event for civil and military officials and their families.

Thanks to the trouble last time, the Queen Mother never troubled her again.But Chu Yunjiao guessed that based on her current understanding of the Queen Mother, she must be even more dissatisfied with herself.It was just because he was bumped into by the emperor that day.

Speaking of which, even Chu Yunjiao was surprised.On the surface, the emperor and the empress dowager were kind and filial, but it was only such a small conflict that forced the emperor to embarrass the empress dowager in public.

The rumors are not credible, it seems that she is too naive.

She carefully picked out the jewelry in the dressing box, the emperor paid more and more attention to her, and he continued to reward her from the Lotus Heart Palace. Today is different from the past, what she wears is no longer comparable to the past.

Huan'er combed her hair, and was hesitating about which hairpin to choose. Chu Yunjiao took a white jade hairpin from the dressing box and handed it to her, saying, "Use this."

Huan'er hesitated, "Princess, is it too plain?"

Chu Yunjiao looked at herself in the mirror, and said: "Today is the birthday of the imperial grandmother, she will not wish others to be more dazzling than herself."

What Chu Yunjiao said was true.

At sunset, Chu Yunjiao and Chu Yu went to the banquet together.

Many civil and military officials have already taken their seats. Seeing the two of them coming, it is necessary to exchange greetings.Chu Yunjiao took her seat first and began to observe the crowd.Most of the female family members who came today were the official wives and daughters-in-law. Because it was rare to come to the palace, and the crown prince and second prince were at the right age for marriage, many of them tried their best to dress up.Just thinking about pleasing others is too much force.

After looking around hastily, his eyes suddenly fell on a familiar figure.

Chu Yunjiao suddenly clenched the hand holding the cup, and a look of hatred clearly flashed in her eyes.

The one obediently following behind his father in front, smiling sweetly, isn't it the daughter of the Xia family, Xia Mengze?

It took Chu Yunjiao some strength to suppress her anger, lowered her eyes, and sipped water as if nothing had happened, as if she hadn't seen anything.Xia Mengze followed Xia Maotian and exchanged greetings with Chu Han. She turned her eyes and saw another familiar figure not far away.

Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi was also sitting at this time, looking over inadvertently, and happened to meet Chu Yunjiao's eyes, so he clearly saw the deep-seated hatred in her eyes.

He frowned suspiciously, but then, the princess turned her face away and spoke to the family members of the officials beside her.

That look just now seemed to be just his own illusion.

Xiao Zhi thought again and again, and he was sure that he had never seen this girl before, so he couldn't help but asked others.

"That one? That's the only princess of our Great Chu."

Xiao Zhi looked over in surprise again.

He knew this princess, but he had never had the chance to see it.But since he had never seen it before, why did he provoke her to look at her like this?

It was as if he hated him to the bone, and wished he could be hacked into pieces right now.

Unlimited doubts arose in his heart, but unfortunately, the princess never looked at him again.

At the same time, Xia Mengze also noticed Chu Yunjiao.

The two of them were distant relatives, but because Chu Yunjiao was not favored in the past, the Xia family seldom interacted with her.In Xia Mengze's impression, Chu Yunjiao has always been cowardly. Although she is a princess, her attire is not even that of a courtier's daughter, which shows that she is in an embarrassing situation.

Recently, she heard that Chu Yunjiao was valued by the emperor, so she looked at her a few times.

Upon closer inspection, Chu Yunjiao seemed to be different everywhere.She wore a lotus-colored long dress today, with exquisite patterns embroidered on the skirt corners, her long hair was scattered behind her back like ink, and a white jade hairpin on her head, matched with her figure, elegant and not too overdone Sober, dignified and not old-fashioned.

Such Chu Yunjiao, in Xia Mengze's eyes, was almost reborn.She frowned subconsciously, and suddenly saw Chu Yunjiao also turned around, and looked at her precisely.

Xia Mengze was about to burst into a smile, but Chu Yunjiao turned her gaze away.

It was as if he didn't see her just now, or didn't put her in his eyes at all.

Xia Mengze frowned even tighter.

Everyone took their seats one after another, and the Queen Mother came.

She is wearing purple today, which is a very solemn color, but there are large peonies embroidered on the corner of the skirt.Such a color scheme is obviously trying to look rich, but it seems to be self-defeating. Instead of achieving the original purpose, it looks a little more absurd.

As Chu Yunjiao expected, the queen mother is not yet old, she is still in love with beauty.It's just that it's beyond her expectation to show disobedience to the old so vividly.

All of a sudden everyone stood up and saluted, and there were a few courtiers standing beside the Queen Mother, and they accepted all the gifts presented by everyone.

Chu Yunjiao Shi ran forward and said, "I wish the emperor's grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

A few days ago, the queen mother was bumped into by the emperor because she made things difficult for Chu Yunjiao, so it is hard to say anything more today.She raised her eyes to see that Chu Yunjiao was dressed neatly today, keeping a low profile. Since the emperor was by her side, she asked with a half-smile, "How are you?"

Chu Yunjiao nodded and said, "Thank you, Grandmother, for your concern, it's all over now."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Well, let's take a seat."

"Yes."

Chu Yunjiao responded, and then heard the emperor say: "Yunjiao, come and sit beside the emperor."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked sideways.

Rumors in the palace always spread quickly. The princess, who had been neglected since she was a child, suddenly gained the emperor's attention recently. Everyone just heard about it, but the emperor's attitude at the banquet today is enough to explain everything.

The emperor clearly used today's banquet to let everyone know Chu Yunjiao's current status.

The Empress Dowager's complexion was not very good-looking, but she couldn't say anything more.

Everyone at the banquet had different thoughts.Xia Mengze and Xiao Zhi looked at each other at the same time, Xia Mengze winked and found an excuse to leave the table temporarily.After a while, Xiao Zhi also got up quietly.

The night banquet is getting better and better, no one cares about such details.After Chu Yunjiao drank some thin wine, she excused herself on the grounds that she was unwell.The Emperor was worried about her health, and the Empress Dowager wished that she would leave earlier, so she also left the banquet smoothly.
