The next day, Gu Mingnuan accompanied Empress Zhao to stand on the Jinluan Hall to read the will of the reward, and when Xiao Yang received the holy decree, he quietly looked at Gu Mingnuan, and the girl in the county lord's makeup looked solemn and noble, which attracted him deeply.

Did she know that many people present were secretly watching her?

Standing beside Queen Zhao, not only was she not deprived of her brilliance, but she reflected with Queen Zhao, which made people dare not despise women anymore.

"With his military exploits, Gu Yan was awarded the title of the king of the county, and in the name of Ping, the king of Wangping lived up to the emperor's favor and served the country loyally."

"Thank you."

Gu Yan stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, raising her hands high, Empress Zhao glanced at the man in front of her condescendingly, and she couldn't see anything unusual on her face, no one would know what she was thinking at this time, Gu Yan, the king of Pingjun?

As early as more than ten years ago, who would have believed that the brave and ruthless Gu Yan would have today?

Empress Zhao slowly put the holy decree in Gu Yan's hand, and held the perfect smile of the queen mother, "Pingjun Wangfu is flat." ”

"Xie Niangniang."

Gu Yan accepted the holy decree and returned to his place, not seeing any joy in sealing the king.

Gu Mingnuan took a bright yellow will from the tray held by Gonggong Li, handed it to Empress Zhao, and said softly: "Shi Zhan." ”

The titles were canonized one by one from high to low, and almost everyone who got the title was full of pride, and those who did not receive the reward watched with jealousy and envy gnawing their hearts.

Gu Mingnuan secretly sighed, almost everyone under Xiao Yang's command has been canonized, and Emperor Chu is very generous this time, and the reward is worthy of their military exploits that they have sacrificed their lives and deaths.

She glanced at Xiao Yue, who also received a little reward, Xiao Yue's command was almost isolated from this war by Xiao Yang, and naturally after the victory, few of these people got benefits.

However, seeing that their relationship is still very stable, although it is inevitable that they are a little envious occasionally, they still surround Xiao Yue and faintly compete with Xiao Yang and others.

Xiao Yue's ability to lead is still good.

After the reward, Queen Zhao held a banquet in the palace to entertain those who were crowned knights, and after hastily saluting everyone with a glass of water and wine, Queen Zhao led Gu Mingnuan to retire.

"Mother is too careful."

Shi Zhan raised his wine glass and toasted to Gu Yan, and said in a low voice: "Take the county lord away, His Royal Highness King Yan must be very disappointed." ”

After not hearing Gu Yan's words for a long time, Shi Zhan pushed Gu Yan, who was stunned, looked around and didn't find anything worthy of his attention, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Yanmo rubbed his chin, shook his head and said, "Come, drink with me." ”

"Don't drink too much, tomorrow will be the county lord's salute." Shi Zhan reminded Gu Yan, "If there is a little mistake, you must not regret it for the rest of your life?" ”

He knew too well how much Gu Yan valued his daughter.

Gu Yan smiled and pointed to the people who were almost lining up to toast to him, "They don't dare to make trouble with King Yan, they all come to trouble me, today is a good day, I can't learn King Yan's cold arrogance, drink two glasses with them, you don't know how much I drink?" ”

That being said, Shi Zhan got up and blocked most of the toast for Gu Yan.

Xiao Yue, who was sitting not far away, frowned, picked up his wine glass and walked towards Xiao Yang, smiling before saying a word, "Congratulations to Uncle Xi, Congratulations to Uncle Xi." ”

His tall figure stood out at the banquet, drawing the eyes of almost everyone in the hall to himself.

Even Gu Yan couldn't help but look at it, it was a person who understood the embarrassment of Xiao Yue, the Marquis of Jingbei, Xiao Yang was named the King of Yan, and the strength he showed in the process of sealing the king shocked everyone, which was not just a happy event for the Xiao family.

Xiao Yue, as the ruler of the Xiao family, is not the person with the highest rank in the Xiao family, can he endure it and become the little uncle of King Yan?

Xiao Yang had no one in his eyes as always," he said, sitting down. ”

The attitude was very kind, casually pointing to the chair next to him, Xiao Yue's smile was even thicker, and he sat down as ordered, "Father and grandfather would be so good if they could see my uncle as king with their own eyes." ”

I couldn't see any jealousy and resentment on Xiao Yue's face, only happy for Xiao Yang, happy for the Xiao family's strength, he seemed to be so happy, and frequently toasted Xiao Yang, even if Xiao Yang tasted it, Xiao Yue was not annoyed, and drank every glass of liquor to show his sincerity.

Drunkenness gradually stained his eyes, and he became more talkative, pulling Xiao Yang's arm, and talking about the past with a slightly hard tongue, "...... I've always admired Uncle Guy the most......"

Xiao Yang listened with a smile, and sometimes gently took a sip of the wine in the glass.

Their uncle and nephew seem to have abandoned their old suspicions, regained closeness, and trusted each other.

Gu Yan pouted secretly, he could really pretend, he couldn't see this kind of hypocrisy, Gu Yan got up and said, "Tomorrow is my daughter's gift, I'll go back first." ”

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang."

A group of people gathered around and said, "Don't, where are you drinking in the palace?" I prepared a separate wine in the annex to congratulate the prince. ”

"It's not completely dark yet, how can the prince accompany me and wait to leave? It's also too unpleasant. ”

"The county lord's ceremony should have been prepared properly, you can't help when you go back at this time, the prince doesn't understand the rules and arrangements, there is Mrs. Jiang in your house to preside, what are you afraid of? A few more banquets, we will also be lively, I promise that we will not delay the county lord's ceremony. ”

Gu Yan was helplessly dragged out of the palace by everyone.

Shi Zhan wanted to go with him, but someone toasted him, after all, his status is not what it used to be, he is already the Duke of Dingguo, and people who despised his background in the past have stepped forward to toast.

Life must be full of joy...... If you don't let those people who look down on people admire him, he, the Duke of Dingguo, is like a brocade robe walking at night, Shi Zhan is still at a high-spirited age after all, and his spirit is flying.

Xiao Yue didn't seem to see that there were fewer people in the hall, and pestered Xiao Yang to speak.

The corners of Xiao Yang's mouth twitched, and he sighed: "I prefer you who just inherited the title, and you still remember your father's legacy at that time." ”

Don't look like he's much older than himself.

When he took the title, his uncle was still a little kid.

It's just that Xiao Yang is naturally smart, and no one can ignore him.

"It's not that I've changed, it's that I want more."

Xiao Yue was rarely honest, and looked at the past with burning eyes, "Isn't Uncle ambitious?" Qin lost the elk, the world is chased, His Majesty's talent is limited, and there is no virtue of Yingzong, it is time for my Xiao family to replace him, whoever stands in the way of the Xiao family's promotion will have to be eradicated. ”

"I'm afraid it's not in the way of the Xiao family."

Xiao Yang's index finger tapped Xiao Yue's wrist, and his cold gaze extinguished the flame of Xiao Yue's gaze, "Everyone has ambitions, and they use all the means to harm and evil, that is, to let you sit in that position, you can't sit steadily, the world will not obey you, Xiao Yue, Chu is not exhausted!" ”

*****

Gu Mingnuan thoughtfully followed Empress Zhao into the dormitory, a strange aroma went straight into her nose, Empress Zhao pushed Gu Mingnuan out of the door, and commanded in a loud voice: "Protect the county lord of Jianing." ”

Out of nowhere, several nimble people couldn't help but say and dragged Gu Mingnuan away. (To be continued.) )
