Chapter 203 Palace Annual Banquet
Chapter 203 Palace Annual Banquet
Luo Chen and Wu Fan finally calmed down. With Gu Lan's current status and the degree of protection of the empress, they thought it would be difficult to threaten them.
Only rely on the sword to walk the slant, and when waiting for Chun Wei, give him a fatal blow!
Ah!
He's just a little white-faced scholar, but Wu Fan doesn't believe that he can escape from his own army!
The rumors circulating in the capital quickly dissipated without a trace due to the lack of a pusher behind them, coupled with Mu Yuyan's timely suppression, without causing any disturbances.
certainly.
For the deeds of Gu Lan announced by the imperial court, the common people have a negative effect in their hearts. They always think that it is whitewashing, and many people are skeptical.
…
Soon it was the day of the Spring Festival, Gu Lan yawned, woke up from the warm and fragrant nephrite, looked at the sleeping lady beside him, and couldn't help showing a doting smile.
Since becoming pregnant, the lady seems to be getting more and more lethargic.
But this is not a bad thing. The more lethargic you are during pregnancy, the better it is for your baby's growth and development.
"My lady, wake up, today is the Spring Festival." Mu Yuyan murmured for a while, but finally couldn't resist Gu Lan's teasing, and opened her eyes a little embarrassed.
"Can't you let me sleep a little longer!"
Only in front of Gu Lan could Mu Yuyan show this kind of charming attitude. In the eyes of outsiders, she was the domineering and unparalleled empress.
"Who said last night that the officials are going to be entertained today? Don't let the officials come by then, and His Majesty is still lying on the bed."
Gu Lan showed a trace of teasing, Mu Yuyan blushed, and couldn't help but glared at him.
"Hmph, why don't you wait for me to change clothes!"
"The minister obeys the order."
The smile on Gu Lan's face grew wider, and he bowed his head to serve him.
"Hey, wait... the ministers will have a banquet later, don't tear up my dragon robe this time..."
...
The Spring Festival is like this once a year.
The emperors of all dynasties still attached great importance to this kind of festival, so the empress had to issue an imperial edict early this year, and enjoy the Spring Festival with all officials and celebrate the festival in the palace.
After the officials received the news, they naturally did not dare to neglect at all, and soon came to the palace just like the early court.
But it doesn't have to be so early, after all, the banquet is at noon and evening.
When the officials arrived in the palace, they were all old acquaintances, and they all exchanged greetings and flattered each other for a while, and the time passed quickly.
Gu Lan didn't play tricks on Mu Yuyan for too long, fearing that she would become angry from embarrassment, soon Mu Yuyan appeared in the magnificent golden palace wearing an imperial robe, with a beautiful face and a faint fragrance.
And Gu Lan is wearing a white python robe, which symbolizes his status as a first-class prince...of course, and his status as a bed attendant last night.
"All dear friends, please sit down." Mu Yuyan had a luxurious posture, and the majesty of the emperor was born spontaneously, and no one could be slack.
Gu Lan watched from behind her, with a trace of infatuation in her eyes, she is worthy of being my wife, she is domineering!
He followed Mu Yuyan and sat on the dragon chair.
All the officials showed envy, and most of the young officials couldn't help being jealous and envious!
The actions of the two of them are a clear sign!
In the eyes of Dajing's younger generation, Her Majesty the Empress always regards her as a dream lover, but she just sits on Gu Lan, how can these young officials not be jealous?
On the contrary, Mu Yuyan showed a look of complacency. I don't know who is spreading rumors behind the scenes, saying that Gu Lan is bewitching the king, so she just doesn't pretend, and directly shows her cards. She just favors Gu Lan, so what?
Is it wrong to be a lady who spoils her husband? of course not!
What, say I'm a fool?
Pull it out and chop it!
The Empress snuggled into King Jingyang's arms, humming comfortably, but only Gu Lan who was close at hand could see this expression clearly.
Even if many officials couldn't see it, they knew what kind of character their majesty treated them. It's okay to be envious, but no one dares to stand up and talk about it without opening their eyes!
Grand Tutor Su Hua, Sima Xiangguo and others looked at each other with clear expressions.
It seems that His Majesty wants to take advantage of this Spring Festival banquet to make an official announcement directly!
...
The banquet began quickly, and exquisite dishes and wines were presented in the hands of the maids. As the empress, Mu Yuyan announced the opening of the banquet after speaking a few words.
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while, Gu Lan basically never participated in the court meeting, and only saw it in the previous life, and now it is quite novel to be on the scene.
He looked around, and suddenly saw a middle-aged beautiful woman who looked equally graceful and luxurious, which caught his attention.
Of course it wasn't that he noticed the beauty of this beautiful woman, but because when he looked at the beautiful woman, he noticed the flash of darkness in her eyes.
"This is... Toffee?"
Gu Lan thought for a while, and after seeing the clothes on her body, he quickly figured out the identity of the beautiful woman.
He recalled reading the content of the original book in his previous life, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
If one had to describe the concubine in one sentence, it would be that being a queen is worse than being a prostitute!
She is not clear with the Emperor of the previous generation, and I heard that she is a person from Chiyang, and in the original book, she seems to have something to do with the Emperor of Chiyang from the previous generation...
but.
Gu Lan, who has read the original book, knows that although the concubine is beautiful, she is actually an ordinary person without a Cultivation Base and no combat effectiveness, so he doesn't take it too seriously.
Although Luo Chen, the leader of the forbidden army who was brought down before, seems to have something to do with the concubine, but he doesn't care.
In his eyes, these two people are no different from jumping beam clowns, if they don't provoke him, it's fine, if they really provoke him, it's just a matter of solving it!
For the empress, it is also a matter of one sword!
Not threatening at all!
Gu Lan was thinking in his mind, but his gaze didn't change at all. A trace of sullenness flashed across the princess's face, and she could feel that Gu Lan was staring at her!
As the empress' new favorite, a generation of princes stared at her titular elder all the time, how could she bear it?
Although the concubine served two generations of emperors, she couldn't accept Gu Lan's stare so straightforwardly. Of course she didn't know that Gu Lan had already lost his mind.
Immediately, the concubine stared back, and feeling the change in her gaze, Gu Lan also came back to his senses, and gave the concubine a faint look.
Toffee suddenly felt a palpitation!
Feeling extremely uncomfortable!
Although Gu Lan's gaze was calm, she could faintly detect the look of disdain under that gaze.
"This little boy doesn't seem to be worthless as Luo Chen said. Could it be that he is very extraordinary in talent and is a young genius cultivator?"
The concubine can deal with two generations of emperors. Although she doesn't have a Cultivation Base, her ability to judge people is superb.
Unlike Luo Chen's short-sightedness, she could tell at a glance that Gu Lan was by no means an ordinary person.
Just looking at each other for a moment, she felt her hairs stand on end, as if she was being targeted by some terrifying existence...
That kind of feeling is extremely uncomfortable, but I want the concubine to get rid of Gu Lan more quickly.
She lowered her head and stopped looking at each other, concealing the chill and murderous intent in her heart.
Thinking of what Luo Chen had told her about the plan for going to Chunwei, the concubine felt a little more at ease.
A smile was drawn on the corner of Gu Lan's mouth, his Divine Sense was extremely powerful, and he clearly sensed the flash of killing intent on Toffee's body.
Although he is not afraid, if a person with murderous intentions towards him is noticed, he will not remain indifferent...
"Toffee..."
Gu Lan tapped with his fingertips, but no one heard him.
