Ping Guogong sat on the seat of Zhongyonghouhou, and looked at Gu Laohouye like a joke, "What's wrong with Brother Gu, the New Year's Eve is not happy, could it be that he quarreled with Mrs.-in-law?"

   Although Old Marquis Gu's title is lower than Duke Ping's, he is really not afraid of him. Hearing that, he just glanced at him lightly and said nothing.

   Duke Ping is completely a legacy, but his title is accumulated through the accumulation of military merits. With the power of his body, Duke Ping's face froze.

Duke Ping was annoyed in his heart. What he hated the most in his life was the Hou Zhongyong. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the four people who had entered the arena with him, and he immediately said with a smile: "Brother Gu's grandson is here, although I don't often do it, brother. In the capital, but I have heard the name of the waiter for a long time, and he won the championship at a young age, but he was also recorded as a fourth-rank waiter by the late emperor, and he became the teacher of the prince, so he has a bright future."

Ping Guogong looked at him with an expression of envy, "I just returned to the capital and heard people say that the emperor wants to reuse him. Today, he will be rewarded continuously. Brother Gu, our two families are friends from time to time. Don't forget to support and support the Gu family in the future. Look at your nephews and nephews, our Zhu family's children and grandchildren are unworthy, and you can't compare to your having a good grandson..."

  The people around them all looked at the two of them with strange eyes, and looked at Lord Gu with sympathy and schadenfreude in their eyes.

   No matter how well-mannered Gu Houye was, he couldn't help clenching his fists at this time.

  Ping Guogong continued to talk to Lord Gu in a hilarious manner, only bragging about Gu Jingyun's efforts, and poking him wherever he hurts.

   Even the people next to him felt sorry for Lord Gu. Who didn't know that Gu Jingyun and the Marquis of Zhongyong had become enemies, and now there's only face-saving left.

After watching Gu Jingyun come in behind Qin Xinfang, he has been serving by his side and knows who he is closest to. Many people present felt that the Houfu of Zhongyong was self-inflicted, but on today's special festival, no one will stir up trouble. , at most watching jokes generally onlookers.

Gu Jingyun noticed the difference in the eyes that bet on him, he respectfully followed behind his uncle, greeted the elders, and calmly glanced at the audience. Understand.

   He paused, sent Qin Xinfang to his seat, and saluted, "Uncle, nephew went to see Duke Ding, Duke Ping, Hou Zhongyong and other world friends."

   Qin Xinfang glanced at him and nodded, "Go ahead."

  Gu Jingyun turned around and nodded slightly to Li Baolu, and said with a smile, "Let's go."

   Those who came to the palace banquet, except for a few people, brought some family members.

  For example, Duke Ping brought his daughter-in-law, son and daughter-in-law with him, but there were exceptions, such as Hou Zhongyong, Mrs. Gu, who had a stroke until now, although her body has recovered a little, but she is still unsteady, so of course it is impossible to come.

   He could have brought his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, but thinking of the temptations and provocations of those people a few days ago, Lord Gu dismissed the idea.

   What the Gu family needs at this time is to lighten their sight. If he hadn't been able to shirk, he wouldn't even want to appear at the palace banquet.

Seeing Gu Jingyun walking towards them, Lord Gu clenched the teacup in his hand slightly, but Duke Ping got excited, and before anyone approached him, he waved to Gu Jingyun vigorously, "Grandnephew, you are here to see you. Grandfather's? Come, come, your grandfather has been waiting for you."

   Gu Jingyun gave him a slight smile, and first bowed to Duke Dingguo, who was above him, "My little nephew has seen Duke Wanguo."

Ding Guogong nodded slightly, smiled and stretched out his hand: "No gift, as expected, Yingjie young man, your ten thousand brothers are not as many as you, it seems that when you go back, let them communicate with you more, even if you only learn a little from you. I am relieved."

   "Wang Guogong praised him badly. Jing Yun did not make any progress in the way of writing, but his elder brothers were heroes who defended the family and the country in the future. It should be Jing Yun, a weak scholar, and his brothers to learn."

  I am even more delighted to see Duke Wanguo. It seems that the comments of my younger brother and sons are not too correct. This young man is obviously humble and polite, how can he be arrogant?

   Gu Jingyun then turned around and went to pay his respects to Duke Ping, "Jingyun has seen Duke Ping, and since Gu returned to the capital, he has not come to visit Duke Ping, and I still look at Haihan for the rudeness."

   "You can't see me even if you come, you just need to see your uncle." After that, Duke Ping pulled his son Zhu Ting out from behind and asked with a smile, "Have you seen your uncle?"

   Gu Jingyun raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhu Ting, who was dodging his eyes with a half-smile, and bowed his hands, "I have seen Zhu Shizi."

  Ping Guogong laughed loudly, glanced at Gu Hou Ye, who was sitting quietly beside him, and said, "Good child, come here, I have seen your grandfather."

  Gu Jingyun's smile did not change, he bowed to Lord Gu Hou to the end, "Grandfather."

   Duke Ping's laughter suddenly stopped, and he stared at Gu Jingyun slightly.

   Lord Gu nodded at him with a solemn face, and said, "The palace banquet is about to start, take your wife to the table."

"Yes."

   After Gu Jingyun said that, he stretched out his hand to hold Li Baolu's hand and was about to go up.

"Hey, wait," Ping Guogong stopped in front of him, his eyes wandered between Gu Jingyun and Gu Houye, and asked with a smile, "Jingyun, I heard that you and Zhongyonghou's mansion have split up, and you are able to tolerate people. You have won a lot of money from this branch. You are probably the richest in your generation, and you have become the youngest suzerain. This is rare, but as a suzerain, the most important thing is to inherit the line... "

  Li Baolu raised her eyes slightly to look at Duke Ping, finally knowing why Gu Jingyun was willing to take care of Lord Gu's face, because the person in front of him was really annoying.

Li Baolu was unhappy in her heart, her face was expressionless, her dark eyes clearly conveyed her emotions, Gu Jingyun still looked at Duke Ping with a smile, and thanked him until he finished speaking: "Thank you, Duke Ping. teach."

   Looking at Gu Jingyun, who was neither happy nor angry, Duke Ping felt as if his fist had hit cotton wool, blocking his chest in one breath. He was about to make persistent efforts when the sound of the whip came from far away.

  The banquet hall was silent for a while, and everyone went back to their seats and sat down.

  Gu Jingyun also nodded slightly to Duke Ping and pulled Li Baolu to his place.

  Ping Guojing wanted to turn around and sit down, but when he saw Gu Jingyun walking up past him, he immediately turned his head to look, and his eyes widened slightly when he saw that he was sitting in the second position with his left hand down.

   He pulled his son and asked in a low voice, "Isn't that the second prince's seat?"

  Zhu Shizi pretended that he didn't exist from the beginning, looked at his father with tears in his eyes and said, "Father, Gu Jingyun is the teacher of the prince. His Majesty personally asked for a seat next to the prince."

   Duke Ping let go of his son's collar, looked up and sighed, "The emperor values ​​Gu Jingyun more than we expected."

  Zhu Shizi didn't care, that is, when the late emperor was there, Gu Jingyun's position was also next to the late emperor. The position was important enough, but it was of no use. Gu Jingyun's future was limited.

   Now, no matter how high his position is and the more rewards he receives, it is useless as long as his will does not come down. How can he know that the emperor is not compensating him?

   But there is no one who thinks the same as Zhu Shizi, everyone just saw the emperor's importance to Gu Jingyun, and they all guessed in their hearts where the emperor wanted to use Gu Jingyun.

   "The Emperor is coming—"

   All thoughts were put away after hearing this announcement, and everyone knelt down to salute.

  The emperor joined hands with the queen, followed by the crown prince, the crown prince, and the second and third princes. When the queen was seated, Director Su, under the emperor's signal, said loudly, "No!"

   Everyone got up and stood up.

  The crown prince, the princess and the second and third princes also came to their positions one after another.

  The emperor pressed his palm and said, "Give a seat."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

  The ministers waited for the first person to be seated before they dared to sit down, but the prince and the second and third princes turned to face Gu Jingyun and took a half-salutation before taking their seats.

  When they sat down, the ministers on both sides took their seats in order, but their hearts were like a storm.

  Gu Jingyun is the prince's teacher, so it's okay for the prince to give Gu Jingyun a half salute. Why did the second prince and the third prince join in the fun?

   Gu Jingyun is planning to wipe out all the princes?

The emperor didn't know what they were thinking. Today is New Year's Eve. The emperor first made a speech on the achievements of the year, focusing on praising a few old officials who have made outstanding contributions, and condolences to all the officials, and then officially entered the song and dance appreciation. and food tasting sessions.

  The singing and dancing are really good, but the food...

Li Baolu looked at the dish that was brought in front of her, and when the lid was opened, there was no heat at all, and she could still see the oil lumps on the meat. She slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand, even if she was mentally prepared, she I didn't even think that I couldn't eat a single bite.

   It seems that it is correct to eat and drink before the palace.

Gu Jingyun knew his wife's attributes, he reached out and took the tangerine on the plate, peeled it and gave it to her, "This tangerine was sent from Lingnan, I don't know how they planted it, but it can still be harvested at this season, you eat it. Some."

  Li Baolu took it, but turned his eyes to the opposite side, "Those two little girls have been looking at me, they are the two princesses sent by Tartar?"

  Gu Jingyun glanced at the opposite side and nodded slightly, "Yes, they will go to school next year, but I don't know whether to come to Qingxi Academy or Songshan Academy."

   "Why do they keep looking at me?"

   Gu Jingyun smiled slightly, "Maybe it's because you once captured their warriors?"

  Li Baolu silently broke off a piece of tangerine and stuffed it into his mouth, still looking at the opposite side.

The two princesses on the opposite side saw that Li Baolu was different from the other noble ladies of Chu, so they looked at them without evasion, and couldn't help but get together and muttered in Tatar: "She's not different at all, she's being generous. Look around at us."

   "Her eyes are so disgusting that I want to dig them out."

   "Naren!" Qimuge said angrily, "Have you forgotten what you promised me and my cousin? If you say this again, I will ask my brother to send you back."

  Naren pursed her lips and said nothing.
