Chapter 1000 The Hongmen Banquet I Laid Out
According to the usual customs, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Yue Wangfu is to hold a banquet to invite hundreds of officials and their families.
But this year, King Yue was not there, and Gu Yanqi was not in the mood to hold this kind of banquet.
However, there are still officials who come to the Yue Palace's palace with their families to pay New Year's greetings.
Speaking of which, Gu Yanqi also has the means, although she is not the justifiable Princess Yue, but she is stunned to rely on her own means and abilities to make the courtiers obey.
Therefore, even if Gu Yanqi did not prepare a banquet, there were still many people who came uninvited.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the guards naturally won't be too tough to stop it.
After Gu Yanqi found out that there were a lot of people who came to pay New Year's greetings, she directly ordered the guards, "Those below the fourth grade can accept the New Year's gift, and after the registration of the fourth grade and above, only one master is allowed to bring one subordinate into the door." ”
At the same time, she reluctantly asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes, just in case.
There were a lot of people coming to pay New Year's greetings today, and she had to prepare in advance.
If they all stay for lunch, it will be fun.
Gu Yanqi's worries were not wrong, when it was time for the meal, no one left, they all pretended to be deaf and dumb and stayed, not to mention the meal, just stayed.
Gu Yanqi knew it in his heart, but he didn't know who came up with the idea and what it was for.
Fortunately, she ordered the kitchen in advance to prepare the kitchen, and Gu Yanqi specially instructed the kitchen to limit the number of meat dishes, almost only one meat dish on each table, and the rest were vegetarian dishes, and they were very light.
After the meal was served, the young lady who was already looking at Yan Qi's displeasure began to sneer, "Is this what people eat?" ”
"Is the Yue Wangfu already so poor? There is no meat at a poor banquet? ”
"Marrying a wife should be a virtuous man, but His Royal Highness King Yue's face was ...... Lost all. ”
“……”
Gu Yanqi listened to the gossip below, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his wine glass, "Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, the war is continuous, and the people are not living, in order to reduce the burden on the treasury, I have restrictions on food in the Yue Palace, you adults must not feel that the Yue Wangfu has treated you badly, it is all for the people." ”
After speaking, Gu Yanqi raised his head and left.
It's quite heroic.
Hearing Gu Yanqi's words, the whispers below suddenly stopped, and if they continued to dislike it at this time, it would only make people feel that they were not thinking about the people.
They and Gu Yanqi made judgments high and low.
One only knows how to compare, and the other wrongs himself for the sake of the people.
Resentment flashed in their eyes, and they all felt that Gu Yanqi had a good life, if he was the princess, he would definitely do better than Gu Yanqi!
But Princess Yue is Gu Yanqi. Although it's just the princess of Zhun Yue.
One by one, the girls looked at the graceful and noble Gu Yanqi, and jealousy flashed in their eyes from time to time, but they didn't dare to provoke openly.
Before coming, the girls of each family had been warned by their fathers and brothers, and they must not provoke Gu Yanqi, otherwise it would not only be them who were unlucky, but they were more likely to implicate their families.
Gu Yanqi naturally saw the unwillingness and fear in the eyes of those girls, the corners of her lips were crooked, she liked to see this kind of look where the other party obviously hated her and wanted to make her ugly, but she couldn't help it.
Gu Yanqi admitted that she had become bad, but she still followed that principle - if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone.
From the beginning to the end, she just wanted to protect herself.
Including the big things she is planning now, she just wants to protect herself.
It's that simple.
But Gu Yanqi missed someone.
Looking at Mrs. Li who suddenly stood up, Gu Yanqi felt bad.
"Miss Gu, where has His Royal Highness King Yue gone? Why is it delayed? Mrs. Li asked directly.
But it is also the answer that the ministers want to know.
They did things under Gu Yanqi's acceptance, and they still looked at the face of King Yue.
They want to know where His Royal Highness King Yue is now, and it is really understandable.
But Mrs. Li has bad intentions, and Gu Yanqi knows this.
So she didn't answer Mrs. Li's question directly, she didn't want Mrs. Li to lead her nose, she looked at Mrs. Li coldly, and was so stunned that Mrs. Li took a step back, and then gave up.
"Is there no man in Zhennanhou Mansion? Do you still need a female relative to ask about the important affairs of the court? Gu Yanqi asked with a cold face.
It seems that if Mrs. Li does not give her a satisfactory answer, she will do something to Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li's heart jumped, she didn't expect Gu Yanqi to actually rebel against her, but ......
"The men of Zhennan Hou Mansion are all stationed on the frontier, Miss Gu insulted my Zhennan Hou Mansion like this, is she trying to unload the mill and kill the donkey?" The corners of Mrs. Li's lips hooked up with a sneer, "But isn't this mill unloaded a little fast?" ”
Gu Yanqi didn't laugh angrily, "Unload the mill and kill the donkey? Are you also worthy of representing the Hou Mansion in Zhennan? ”
Mrs. Li's face changed suddenly, "What do you mean?" ”
"What does the county lord mean, isn't Mrs. Li very clear?" Gu Yanqi paused deliberately, and saw an anxious look on Mrs. Li's face with satisfaction, and then said, "Do you really want the county lord to say it in public?" ”
Looking at Gu Yanqi, who seemed to be smiling, Mrs. Li was suddenly a little scared.
Did she know about herself?
No, probably not!
But Mrs. Li didn't dare to take any more risks, looking at Gu Yanqi's smug smile, she didn't dare to say any more.
The cost was too great for her to try.
Looking at Mrs. Li who was cowering, the corners of Gu Yanqi's mouth hooked up a sneer of disdain, which seemed to be a mockery of Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li's heart was furious, but she could only endure it.
Who made Gu Yanqi so evil?
She really didn't dare to take any chances.
But it's a pity to give up like this, there are really not many opportunities like this today.
Gu Yanqi didn't care what Mrs. Li said, seeing that Mrs. Li was much more honest, she picked up her wine glass and planned to toast the second glass of wine.
But it was also at this time that I heard someone shouting, "King Yue is all fake, who is she Princess Yue?" Why do you command us? ”
Is that what we are really doing today?
Today's banquet is a real Hongmen banquet!
It's just ridiculous that this Hongmen banquet was forced to be put on by himself.
A hint of sneer flashed in Gu Yanqi's eyes, and he scolded sharply in the direction where the voice came from, "Presumptuous! Someone, take down this deceitful person and send it to the dungeon! ”
"Gu Yanqi, are you afraid? I'm afraid I'll tell the truth! The man was stunned at first, but he didn't expect Gu Yanqi to be so decisive, and he wanted to arrest someone without asking anything.
Think about it, if Gu Yanqi is not powerful, how can she convince the minister?
"Demagoguery, bewitching people, who are you?" Gu Yanqi said sharply, "What is the truth?" Is it the truth that you framed His Royal Highness King Yue for your own dirty thoughts? ”
Gu Yanqi didn't care about 37 and 21, and directly convicted that person, and he couldn't get out of the charge of framing His Royal Highness King Yue and bewitching the public with evil words.
