Except for those who participated in the anti-bandit operation today and are qualified to sit here, it seems that many ministers have also brought their daughters with their families, which is somewhat unreasonable in normal times.

What's more, among these female dependents now, there are not only the named ladies and wives, but also those young ladies who look very young and beautiful. Some of them are probably raised in the deep boudoir, and even Su Mian has not seen them a few times, which is really fresh.

"Lord Wang, is there anything else important to today's banquet besides the celebration banquet for the success of this bandit?"

Su Mian noticed such a change in the banquet, so she couldn't help but ask Gu Zhixing like this. Gu Zhixing glanced back at Su Mian with a smile at this time, and then picked up the most exquisite osmanthus cake on the table and stuffed it into Su Mian's mouth, laughing and saying nothing for a while.

If Gu Zhixing didn't do this, Su Mian wouldn't think much about it, and when the osmanthus cake in his mouth slowly melted, it seemed that Su Mian suddenly reacted to something?

Today's celebration banquet, I heard it before that Gu Zhixing ordered people to prepare, whether it is a singing and dancing program, or the wine and food on the table now, there is no fault, so who can be invited, it is impossible to be arbitrary.

Now there is only one possibility, these ladies are all deliberately invited by Gu Zhixing! Now that many young and beautiful women at the banquet are throwing admiring and shy glances upwards from time to time, Su Mian looked at their appearance of the beginning of love, and knew what Gu Zhixing meant.

"Lord Wang, have you ever asked the emperor what he means by doing this? If he noticed something, he wouldn't be happy...... After all, isn't this the equivalent of a parent gathering in disguise, but secretly preparing for a blind date meeting? ”

Su Mian chewed the pastry in his mouth, and complained in a vague voice. Gu Zhixing sighed lightly, just took a sip of tea and didn't speak. He did this today, naturally he took a lot of thought into account, even if Gu Zhao would be a little unhappy, there were some things he had to face.

Seeing Gu Zhixing's pretending to be profound, but not answering his own question, Su Mian didn't plan to break the casserole now and ask to the end.

Anyway, there were so many delicacies during the banquet, and he was already very busy taking care of eating, but now that he found such a strangeness, Su Mian just paid more attention to the change in Lu Zhe's expression.

And Gu Zhi didn't actually notice anything wrong with the time at first, he was indeed a little tired. To his own surprise, he originally thought that after the success of the bandits, he would be very excited.

And now that he has returned to the palace, in addition to the feeling of exhaustion, other joyful emotions in his heart are not as strong as he imagined.

It wasn't until a few old ministers in the court who didn't talk much at all, but today they talked a lot, and after toasting themselves again and again, Gu Zhao realized that something was wrong.

After all, the common point of these old ministers is really obvious, the reason why they are so active is probably because of the few female dependents who look similar to their own age sitting behind them, I am afraid that they are their youngest daughters, or some nieces and granddaughters, right?

"This king doesn't mean to persecute the emperor today, he just wants him to be mentally prepared, and it's really time to look for it. Since you want to stabilize that position, the harem can't be empty forever. ”

As if sensing a change in Gu Zhao's expression, Gu Zhixing finally answered Su Mian's question. Su Mian was stunned for a moment when she heard the other party suddenly speak, and then carefully observed Lu Zhe's expression, and sure enough, she saw that he seemed to be a little more impatient.

I didn't expect that I finally made the relationship between Lu Zhe and Gu Zhixing better, and today Gu Zhixing would suddenly do this, without even discussing it with himself.

Su Mian still felt that something was wrong, but he also hoped that Gu Zhao would not suspect that his imperial uncle had ulterior motives, and it would be bad for the two of them to dislike each other when the time came.

But he also found that Gu Zhao's expression was wrong, in addition to Gu Zhixing and Su Mian, naturally there were almost no moments. Liu Ce, who was all observing Gu Zhao's expression.

After all, except for Gu Zhao, who was completely kept in the dark today, the other courtiers probably already understood what it meant that the prince had specially explained that he could bring his female dependents into the palace.

Liu Ce naturally got the news a long time ago, although he didn't bring other female dependents today, as long as the emperor was unhappy, he could pierce this layer of window paper for the emperor and warn the regent not to have ulterior motives!

"Your Majesty, the song and dance programs prepared before have been performed, and now there are so many official ladies, and there are many talented and ingenious people among them. According to what the old slave saw, if the emperor wants to relieve his boredom, why don't he pick a few that look pleasing to the eye and let them show their talents? ”

Father-in-law Zhang came to Gu Zhao's side at the right time, chuckled and whispered, but Gu Zhao's expression was even worse.

Sure enough, even Father-in-law Zhang knew about this matter, Uncle Huang still treated himself like a child, when would he change his opinion, and he would be ready to even say nothing about such a big thing!

"It's okay, I'm already tired today, although everyone is happy, there is no need to play for too long, since these official ladies are entering the palace for a banquet, there is no need to make them tired."

Gu Zhao had a calm face, and said it like this deliberately, his voice was not big or small, and now those who want to show it should be able to hear it clearly.

But everyone didn't seem to take Lu Zhe's displeasure in their eyes, and there were already a few women who were fully prepared today, and even volunteered to stand up and want to show their talents to relieve everyone's boredom.

I don't know if it's Su Mian's illusion, but I always feel that there are a few women who look so lively and generous, as if they are deliberately imitating something. After all, it stands to reason that they are kept in the boudoir on weekdays, and I am afraid that they are all knowledgeable and reasonable, and they dare not easily surpass it.

After these official ladies performed, Su Mian listened to Gu Zhixing beside him snort coldly, and then added a few fresh pastries to Su Mian that had just been served.

"Dong Shi Xiao Feng! Today, the king's meaning is already very obvious, but there are still some people who want to deliberately pretend to be stupid, since they don't take advantage of this opportunity, then they really don't need this opportunity. ”

I don't know why Gu Zhi's behavior suddenly got angry, Su Mian looked up a little sluggishly, but found that the two women who had just sat down had some unnatural flushes on their faces, obviously because they were too nervous and shy. But their shy eyes inadvertently glanced at themselves.

was immediately choked by the pastry, but fortunately, Gu Zhixing hurriedly handed over the tea, and Su Mian eased up a little, and looked up at Gu Zhixing with some embarrassment.

"Lord, I'll just say that the emperor is still young, and now I'm afraid there are not many people who really want to enter the harem, but there are a lot of people who look down on the prince, right?"

Gu Zhixing was already a little unhappy, but when he heard Su Mian teasing him like this, he pretended to be angry and stuffed another piece of peach blossom cake into Su Mian's mouth, and then snorted arrogantly.

Others don't know their minds, can Su Mian still not know? No matter what housekeeping skills these warblers and Yanyan can come up with, as long as they have Su Mian in their hearts, whether she is by their side or not, these people will never be able to enter their eyes.

"Where can they compare to you? On weekdays, I'm afraid it's not a character like Ah Mian, but today I'm deliberately imitating your smile and smile, which is extremely stupid. ”

Is that so? The reason why Su Mian felt strange was because the two women just now were deliberately imitating themselves, or were they deliberately lively? Su Mian was a little confused, but now the atmosphere is getting more and more embarrassing, and it is better for her to eat more and talk less.

After everyone had drunk for three rounds and a few more women were about to perform, Gu Zhao's expression was already extremely bad, and Su Mian was a little worried about whether Gu Zhao would start a fire. But at this moment, Liu Ce, who had not achieved enough and had more than enough to lose, suddenly got up and said some weird words.

"The old minister heard that today's celebration banquet was organized by the regent, and it was really like the regent's style, extremely luxurious and lively! However, today's crackdown on bandits is successful, and everyone should indeed be lively and happy. ”

This Liu Ce ostensibly wanted to toast Gu Zhixing, but what he said was a little unpolite. Gu Zhixing just had a cold face, and he didn't even want to get up to echo him, he just raised his wine glass on the seat and raised his hand casually, and finally took a sip of wine without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, and then chose to ignore him.

Everyone saw the regent's disregard for the prime minister, and they also had their own thoughts, but Liu Ce was not in a hurry to say anything, with a helpless chuckle on his face, obviously his yin and yang strange words had not yet been finished.

But the old man didn't know if he would mistake the prince's intentions, but he still thought about it a little too much, and hoped that the prince wouldn't blame him, the old man was just joking. Now that the prince has specially allowed everyone to bring their daughters into the palace, could it be that the regent has to handle the matter of filling the harem for the emperor? ”

Sure enough, when Liu Ce said this, it was equivalent to suddenly stabbing the things that everyone knew before to the table.

In addition, Gu Zhao was already a little unhappy, and now that Liu Ce asked, Gu Zhao had no intention of helping Gu Zhixing speak, and still looked at Gu Zhixing with a puzzled expression.

Gu Zhixing didn't want to deal with Liu Ce, the old fox, but he was kicked by himself a few days ago, and he was locked up in the prime minister's mansion for a few days, as if he still hadn't reflected on the reason. Now that he dares to say this, Gu Zhixing dares to take his words, and there is no need for him to be weird here.

"What is Lord Liu's opinion? This king just thinks that the emperor is not too young, and now the harem is messy, and there are many people who don't follow the rules. The emperor lives alone in this huge harem, with many servants and few masters, and if it goes on for a long time, something will inevitably happen. ”

Gu Zhixing naturally knew that many important ministers in the court had already planted eyeliner in the harem, so he deliberately said that there were more slaves and fewer masters. Everyone has different expressions on their faces now, but they are more nervous because they are listening to the prime minister choking with the prince again.
