Chapter 321: King Xiang Dances the Sword
"Girl, girl? It's almost time for us to go to the front hall, the time that the prince ordered has arrived, and I'm afraid it will be delayed if we don't go again. ”
It wasn't until the nurse's voice pulled Su Mian back to reality that Su Mian realized that she was actually distracted, but now she really shouldn't think about it so much, as long as Gu Zhixing accepts Xingsheng as a righteous son, the rumors in the market before will subside, and everyone will gradually forget those things in the past.
Although there was some inexplicable feeling of loss in her heart, Su Mian still adjusted her mood as quickly as possible, showed a bright smile to the nurse, stretched out her hand and gently took Xingsheng over, and held it in her arms.
"You're right, let's go to the front hall quickly, I accidentally wandered my mind just now, who made Xingsheng so well-behaved today, I thought a lot when I looked at him, and in the future, the prince will definitely teach him to be a man who stands up to the sky."
Su Mian's tone was full of longing, as if the child was really related to him, and the nurse was also happy in her eyes, although she had not been in the palace for a long time, and she did not dare to inquire about the origin of the child easily, but seeing that the prince and Su Mian were very good to the child, she was also happy for the child in her heart.
Anyway, no matter what the origin of this child is, as long as this day passes, he will be the regent's righteous son. This child will live in this palace, and he will be much more righteous.
Su Mian hugged Xingsheng out of the door, but she didn't see Gu Zhixing at the door as expected. However, she didn't think there was anything strange, thinking that maybe Gu Zhixing would go to the front hall to entertain guests now, after all, she had heard that Gu Zhao was also coming before, and it was impossible for Gu Zhixing not to take over in person.
Letting go of the doubts in her heart, Su Mian hugged the little doll in her arms tightly and walked quickly towards the front hall. Only then did he get out of the corridor, and along the way, he met many ministers who were close to him, and they probably had already finished greeting Gu Zhixing, so Su Mian, who had just seen it now, hurried forward.
"Now the child that Miss Su is holding in her arms is the righteous son that the prince wants to accept today, right? Although this child is young, he looks good at everything, even if he is not related by blood, he is also a little similar to the prince, and the prince's vision is really good! ”
These people were sycophants as soon as they came up, why didn't Su Mian see the similarities between Xingsheng and Gu Zhixing before? The other party blew such a fancy blow, Su Mian didn't know whether to scold him or thank him, so he could only smile and nod with a slight embarrassment.
"No, this is the only child in the world who can be favored by the regent and intends to adopt as a righteous son. Don't look at the little young master is only a hundred days now, I look at this smart appearance, I'm afraid it's many times more powerful than ordinary children. ”
Seeing that there are more and more people surrounding now, and they are all boasting about their luck so hypocritically, Su Mian can only nod politely at them, and then take the nurse to speed up her steps, which can be regarded as "killing" out of the encirclement.
Su Mian is a little confused now, if it is left in normal times, Gu Zhixing will definitely find that he has appeared with Xingsheng, these people keep closing their eyes around him, Su Mian is the most annoying, how could Gu Zhixing not know?
After inspecting around with a little blame, Su Mian naturally found Gu Zhixing very quickly. But what's even more strange is that Gu Zhixing didn't notice Su Mian's slightly unhappy eyes at this time, as if he was talking to someone, and what he said was quite fascinating.
"Auntie, take Xingsheng to sit down first, if there are other people to greet each other, you will block them one by one, don't say much, I'll go to the prince first."
Although Su Mian had a little temper in her heart, it was impossible for Hu Lai to return Xingsheng to the nurse regardless of the occasion, Su Mian gave such an order, and then walked towards Gu Zhi.
Because he was only thinking about Gu Zhixing in his heart, and he didn't know what he was talking about so distractedly, Su Mian was going to scare him mischievously, but just put his hand on Gu Zhixing's street, Su Mian also saw clearly who Gu Zhixing was talking to at this time, and was suddenly stunned in surprise.
"Liu, Lord Liu?"
The reason why Su Mian was stunned was because the person in front of him was something he didn't expect at all.
There were too many people before, and Gu Zhixing had his back to him, and he happened to block the few people who were talking to him, Su Mian couldn't see it clearly, and he didn't think much about it. Now that he was able to get close, Su Mian could clearly see that Gu Zhixing was actually talking to Liu Ce and Qin Xiang!
For today's banquet, how could Su Mian not know that Gu Zhixing actually invited Liu Ce and others? She knew that if Gu Zhixing was unwilling, even if he was the prime minister, he would definitely not be able to enter the door of the Regent's Mansion today.
After all, the emperor is also coming today, if Liu Ce wants to break through, he will not look at the face of the monk but also look at the face of the Buddha, not to mention that aside from the emperor, Liu Ce will not dare to go down to the court and have a hard time with Gu Zhixing after going down.
Although Gu Zhixing didn't expect Su Mian to pack up and appear at the banquet so quickly, he didn't show too much surprise, and held the back of Su Mian's hand with his backhand, only showing an indifferent smile.
Su Mian frowned unhappily, but in the end she didn't say anything, and calmly faced a few nasty faces such as Liu Ce and Qin Xiang, and the etiquette was still enough.
"Say hello to Lord Liu and Lord Qin, since you are here now, let's sit down first, the banquet is about to start, and the emperor must be coming soon."
Su Mian's face was silent, as if he was smiling, and he couldn't find anything wrong with his speech. She didn't directly ask Gu Zhixing, what she had just said to Liu Ce and the others, she didn't want to know now.
Maybe Gu Zhixing had already had his plan, but Su Mian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Gu Zhixing shouldn't hide it from himself.
In fact, the person who is even stranger in his heart now should not be Su Mian, but Liu Ce, he only knew after receiving the invitation before that Qin Xiang also received the invitation, and after discussion, they still planned to go to the appointment.
Who made the emperor here today? If it spreads and says that he doesn't even give the emperor face because he is afraid of the regent, he will be lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.
It's just that after Gu Zhixing saw them coming, he actually took the initiative to talk to them, Liu Ce and others love to do superficial work, so they are naturally very positive about Gu Zhixing. The two chatted and looked at each other in the eyes of others, and if they didn't know, they thought that their relationship was already good.
Although they were all insignificant greetings, Gu Zhixing's attitude changed too quickly, there must be a ghost, Liu Ce was full of vigilance in his heart, so now when he heard what Su Mian said, he naturally nodded and imprinted.
"Ah Mian, let's go to the table first, I didn't make it clear to you before today's incident, it's really me who is not good, don't be angry with me. When the feast is over, I'll explain it to you, okay? ”
Gu Zhixing lowered his voice and said it in a volume that only he and Su Mian couldn't hear, and his tone was naturally very gentle, even with a little temptation. Su Mian raised his head to meet his sincere expression, naturally it was impossible to lose his temper, but he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"The prince is not like this, the prince is naturally doing this now, there is a reason for the prince, how can I not understand? Let's take a seat first, don't keep the other adults waiting. ”
Although Su Mian said this in his mouth, Gu Zhixing had a bad premonition in his heart, and he always felt that the more polite Su Mian spoke now, the more it seemed that he was expressing his displeasure. In this way, Gu Zhixing's heart was even more bottomless, so he could only use a little more strength, held Su Mian's hand and led her into the table together.
And during the banquet, Gu Zhixing and the others naturally said a lot of polite words, Su Mian didn't listen to them much, although a lot of ministers were invited today, but in the end, it was a family banquet, so everyone would relax a little, and most of them would go out with their families, after all, the Regent's Mansion would not lose one or two seats for them.
And when Su Mian was in a somewhat depressed daze, he not only saw Lin Qingqing, but also saw Qin Yu for a long time, and was suddenly a little surprised, his expression eased a little, and he looked back at Gu Zhixing in surprise.
"Ah Mian found out? I have something I want Lord Qin to bring Ling Ai to attend, I know that you are good sisters, and now you must be worried about her situation. Don't worry, if you can't rest assured, you can leave her for a few days after the banquet is dispersed. ”
Gu Zhixing smiled and added a few words of explanation, Su Mian didn't know that Gu Zhixing had planned so much, although the strange feeling in his heart was still not completely eliminated, but seeing that Qin Xuan's expression was now relatively relaxed towards him, Su Mian was naturally in a much better mood.
"Is it really okay to keep her for a few days? Lord Qin shouldn't agree, or is it that the prince has already thought of a way to help Qin Yu break the siege, is there something new on his brother's side? ”
Now when she mentions Qin Yu, Su Mian can't help but think of her younger brother who is far away in the sky, although Gu Zhixing has sent someone to install and protect it, but Gu Zhixing suddenly did this, Su Mian always felt a little unsteady in her heart.
Gu Zhixing didn't know why his girl had changed from being stupid at the beginning, to now her mind was becoming more and more delicate, she chuckled and shook her head, and before Gu Zhao came, she had already moved the fruit on the table, peeled a red grape and fed it to Su Mian.
"What will happen there? It's just that today I want Liu Ce and Qin Xiang to take a look, this king is not easy to mess with, so let's take this matter by the way. I'm afraid that Qin Xiang, the old fox, will find a way to shirk it later, as you know, they are more treacherous and cunning than the other. ”
Gu Zhixing still agreed to describe Su Mian like this, and when he nodded, he suddenly heard the voice of Father-in-law Zhang, it turned out that Gu Zhao was finally late from the palace, but now he had set up a shelf, and everyone shouted long live for his luggage.
In fact, Gu Zhao was not as Su Mian thought, deliberately wanting to be late for the finale, but he had been thinking about what gift to prepare for the child Xingsheng, and when he was about to leave the palace, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and ordered the supervisors to add a few pieces, so he hurried over.
