Everyone's eyes fell on Yun Musheng. She was wearing a smoky blue long skirt with wide sleeves and a straight train. The waist was tied with a green belt, which outlined her slender figure.
The black hair is like a waterfall, falling smoothly, combed into a bun with clouds, and decorated with silver tassels, which sway gently by the ears as she moves, making her more dignified and beautiful.
The gait is light, like green smoke blowing in the wind, and the fairy spirit is overflowing.
Everyone at the banquet stared intently, their eyes following her steps, as if she were a fairy walking on the clouds. As they looked, they were filled with brilliance, elegance and refinement.
Gu Wanyi felt the envious eyes of people around her and felt proud to have a daughter like Yun Mu Sheng.
The mother and daughter walked towards Mrs. Gu.
The old lady took Yun Mu Sheng's hand with loving eyes: "Our Mu Sheng is so beautifully dressed today. I don't know which brat I will take advantage of in the future."
Yun Musheng blushed, gently shook Mrs. Gu's hand and said coquettishly, "Grandma~"
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Mrs. Gu did not continue teasing her.
At this moment, all the family members of the ministers in the palace have gathered, but the position of the first queen is vacant.
The surrounding female relatives were stunned by Yun Musheng for a moment, and then started chatting in twos and threes.
Sitting next to Mrs. Gu is Gu Wangshu's grandmother, Mrs. Lu.
This was not the first time Mrs. Lu saw Yun Musheng, but every time she saw her, she would sigh in her heart at her beauty.
"In-laws, if I remember correctly, Mu Sheng must be a hairpin-age child, right?"
Mrs. Gu smiled and replied: "Yes, Mu Sheng got her haircut a year earlier than Xiao Shu, and she had already done the ceremony the year before."
"Then is she betrothed to someone else?"
"That's not true. Does my mother-in-law recommend anyone?" Madam Gu asked.
"From your point of view, it is really difficult for an ordinary young man from an aristocratic family to take notice."
This is true. Yun Musheng is top-notch in the entire Yong'an regardless of his status or knowledge. Only Gu Wangshu can compare with him.
Regarding the standards for choosing a husband for her own granddaughter and granddaughter, Mrs. Gu's requirements cannot be said to be high, but very high.
So far, she has not met a satisfactory one.
Seeing her grandmother talking about herself with Mrs. Lu, Yun Musheng clenched her hands.
Many other people were married at the age of 17, but she was still in a boudoir. It wasn't that no one proposed marriage, but she had no idea about those people at all.
Yun Musheng once thought that there was something wrong with herself, but since she met Chen Zui, she knew that there was nothing wrong with her.
Yun Musheng lowered her eyes and listened quietly to the conversation between her grandmother and Mrs. Lu.
Only Mrs. Lu said: "There was no suitable person before, but now a young and promising person has appeared."
Mrs. Gu was a smart person and immediately understood what she meant.
"My mother-in-law means..."
Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows: "The new champion."
Suddenly hearing these four words, Yun Musheng's heart beat violently.
Her hands were clenched tightly, and she didn't know what she was nervous about.
Gu Wanyi, who was next to her, also heard it and whispered into Yun Musheng's ear with a smile:
"I heard from your father that Chen Zui is not only extremely resourceful and brave, but also very handsome."
Yun Musheng's face turned redder when she thought of Chen's appearance.
They were in harmony, but the young ladies around who had not left the cabinet were not very happy when they heard this.
Coldness surged in their eyes, and they rolled their eyes disdainfully at Yun Musheng.
Why do you really think that Yun Musheng is a princess when you take advantage of all the good things?
Humph, all men in the world are fascinated by sex, but a talented man with great ambitions like Mr. Chen will definitely not be obsessed with Yun Musheng's appearance.
What Mr. Chen needs is a good match who is gentle, virtuous, and can take care of him both internally and externally so that he can have no worries.
Yun Musheng felt the jealous eyes on her back, and she tried to avoid their glare to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Gu Wanyi noticed the hostility of those people towards her daughter and comforted her: "Don't pay attention to them."
Yun Musheng nodded but still said nothing.
After a while, the queen came and the banquet officially began.
It was said to be a banquet, but it was actually no different from just now.
The only difference was that there was an extra queen, and the ladies at the banquet began to express themselves eagerly, and their desire to compete for beauty was very obvious.
Yun Musheng minimized his presence and did not take the initiative to express himself.
But the Queen's eyes frequently fell on her, looking at her carefully, and seemed to be very satisfied with her calm and restrained character.
Although Yun Musheng did not look at the queen, he felt her scrutinizing gaze, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
No one in the royal family is kind.
The queen would not keep looking at her for no reason unless she had a purpose.
As a female, the only thing she can use is to consolidate the imperial power.
Half a year after His Majesty took the throne, the harem was empty.
Yun Mu Sheng suddenly realized that the Queen's intention was not to take over the imperial examination, but to seize the opportunity to enrich the harem for His Majesty the Emperor.
Thinking of this, Yun Musheng felt quite irritable.
This kind of glory was not what she wanted.
She lost interest in the palace banquet and just wanted to escape immediately.
He endured it again and again, until one person left the banquet on the grounds of "out of respect". Yun Musheng also took this opportunity to bow and leave his seat.
She took some fresh air outside and had no intention of returning to the banquet hall. She just wanted to wait until the palace banquet was over.
Using the palace lantern, Yun Musheng walked aimlessly around the palace.
I couldn't help but feel regret in my heart. I came here to find Chen Zui, but I didn't even get a glimpse of him.
Yun Musheng walked along the stone path and came to the prosperous and beautiful Imperial Garden.
She took a deep breath, and her mouth was filled with the sweet floral fragrance, and her originally dull mood was relieved.
She planned to continue walking forward, but suddenly she heard a coquettish voice.
This voice sounded familiar. Yun Musheng thought for a while and realized that this was the young lady who left the banquet hall on the pretext of "out of honor".
Did she also come to the Imperial Garden for some fresh air?
Yun Musheng thought to himself, then turned to leave.
She didn't want to have too much contact with irrelevant people, and besides, those ladies didn't have a good impression of her.
But before she could leave, another man's voice sounded.
His cold voice immediately made Yun Musheng freeze in place.
She could tell that this was Chen Zui's voice.
Is Chen Zui here too?
What were he and that young lady doing in the imperial garden late at night, alone and alone?
By some strange coincidence, Yun Musheng quietly took a few steps forward and hid behind a tree.
As the distance got closer, the conversation between the two people could be heard more clearly.
The woman said softly: "Sir, this is the purse I embroidered with my own hands. Please accept it."
Yun Musheng: "..."
Purse?
In ancient times, women would embroider purses and give them to men to express their love.
If a man accepts it, it means accepting the woman's affection.
Yun Musheng grabbed the tree trunk with both hands and couldn't help but feel nervous.
Will he accept it?
Probably not. How could a man like him have a private relationship with a woman?
The moonlight shone on Chen Zui's face, and his already expressionless face looked even more indifferent.
"Sorry." He took a step back and distanced himself from the other party.
The woman was injured by Chen's most suspicious move.
It takes a lot of courage for a lady to take the initiative to express her feelings to a man.
But her courage ran into Chen Zui's coldness.
"Why?" Her voice was obviously confused and unacceptable.
"Do you have someone you like?"
When she saw Chen Zui rejecting her, Yun Musheng felt happy in her heart, but when she heard the words "Do you have someone you like?", her heart clenched again and she held her breath and continued to listen.
"Yes."
This word was like a heavy hammer hitting the woman, and it also made Yun Musheng suffocate.
"Who?" the woman asked.
"You don't need to know." Chen Zui left these words.
But the woman refused to give up.
"If you don't tell me, I can guess."
"..." Chen was silent and kept walking.
"It's Yun Musheng, right?"
"..."
When Chen Shi didn't answer, she became more and more excited.
"Haha, I thought Mr. Chen was not someone who only values appearance. I didn't expect you to be as superficial as other men."
"Apart from Yun Musheng's face, what else is good about her? She is just a vixen who can only seduce men."
The eldest lady was obviously aroused and began to speak eloquently.
Chen Zui stood still and turned to face her.
"I am willing to be seduced by her. In what capacity are you meddling in her own affairs?"
