Chapter 159: Enthronement Banquet
Gu Muzhi knew that she was definitely going to attend the banquet, so she paid for it and bought a beautiful dress, Qin Boyong had already prepared it for her, and when she saw that she went to buy another one, the expression on her face was a little dark, but she didn't say anything.
"Then I'll give this dress to Miss Ah Zhi too?"
"Give you something."
Gu Muzhi saw Qin Boyong's dark expression, and didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth quietly hooked.
On the second day, the enthronement ceremony of the little emperor ended, and hundreds of civil and military officials were invited to the banquet.
Inside the house, Xiaolan carefully cleaned up for Gu Muzhi, there were many celebrities and nobles and court officials at this banquet, so there was no shame for this.
The banquet began grandly, everyone was accompanied by beautiful women, and some young women were dressed up and cute, looking petite.
Gu Muzhi saw that the little emperor was wearing a well-fitting dragon robe, and behind him was surrounded by some eunuchs and palace maids, and the group walked forward with Ji Zhao.
The expression on the little emperor's face was serious, and he sat at the top, speaking majestically. Gu Muzhi observed that although the expressions of the officials below were very in place, there was still some disdain for Xiao Wang's in their eyes after all.
Soon the little emperor finished speaking, and at this moment, a person Gu Muzhi didn't know stood up, saluted the little emperor respectfully, and pointed at Gu Muzhi and said loudly: "This mother clan doesn't seem to have any indication to Your Majesty, the people of the mother clan followed King Yong into the capital, did King Yong have instructions to the mother family?" He was so disrespectful to His Majesty. ”
Qin Boyong's expression instantly froze, and he was about to stand up and speak immediately, but was stopped by Gu Muzhi, Gu Muzhi smiled and said to the man: "Since I came to attend His Majesty's banquet, I have shown the respect of my mother family for Your Majesty, and I and the prince have sent special gifts to Your Majesty, I don't know how to say disrespect?" ”
The man sneered coldly, and looked at Gu Muzhi privately: "You are wearing such cheap clothes to attend the banquet, you are disrespecting the royal family, besides, a small gift can show respect?" It just doesn't make sense! ”
Gu Muzhi's eyes widened, and he smiled at the man and said, "Oh, is it? Since ancient times, we have paid attention to courtesy and affection, not to mention that the gift I gave to Your Majesty is exactly what I wanted, how can I say that I am disrespectful, and you, as an official, do you respect Your Majesty if you do not wear official clothes when you attend banquets? ”
The man choked violently, and finally flicked his sleeves and pointed at Gu Muzhi, and said loudly: "You are a strong word, you shrew." ”
Qin Boyong couldn't help it, so he immediately stood up and said leisurely, "Oh, in what capacity are you suspicious of me?" To question the mother? Do you use your identity as a third-grade squire? A little squire, who does not wear official clothes, still makes a fuss at His Majesty's enthronement banquet, and commits the following crimes, not to mention how much respect you have for this king, how much respect do you have for Your Majesty? ”
The little emperor's expression was a little embarrassed, and he chuckled and said to Qin Boyong: "Uncle Huang, don't be angry, Shen Shilang is also a little kind, but he is too arrogant, Shen Shilang will punish Yu Lu for a month!" ”
That Shen Shilang was still a little angry when he saw the little emperor say that, and wanted to continue to say that he was stopped by the official next to him, and the official advised him to say less.
The little emperor opened his mouth and stopped the scene in time: "Okay, today is the day I ascended the throne, I should celebrate, whoever comes forward to show off his talent and show his light, I will be rewarded." ”
A woman twisted her waist and walked out proudly, saluted to His Majesty, and said with a delicate smile: "See Your Majesty, the little girl is Bai Wanruo, the daughter of Prime Minister Bai, Your Majesty ascended the throne today, and I especially want to present a song of the phoenix and the phoenix, and I hope that Your Majesty will raise her love." ”
Bai seemed to smile shyly, there seemed to be stars twinkling between his eyebrows and eyes, dressed in a slightly purple dress, and his hands were lightly placed on the guqin to pluck the strings.
The little emperor was very satisfied, and happily rewarded the girl with a set of jewelry, and the pearls on it were full of jadeite and were also exceptionally beautiful.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, however, I saw Miss Gu today that she was low-key, I heard that the girl had been rehearsing for a long time in her mother's family, so she wanted to present a song for Your Majesty, and I happened to have time at this time, so I would like to try it."
As soon as he said this, Qin Boyong's face changed slightly, he hurriedly looked at Gu Muzhi, saw Gu Muzhi's subtle expression, and saw Gu Muzhi laugh again in the next second, a little puzzled.
The little emperor looked at Qin Boyong, and finally nodded with a smile and said, "I didn't expect Miss Gu to have such a heart, so why don't you step forward and play a song for me?" ”
Gu Muzhi was stunned for a moment, didn't speak, and thought to herself that she didn't know this woman, why did she make herself ugly? Suddenly thought of something, smiled slightly, raised his head, pulled Qin Boyong's arm with his hand underneath, and stared at the woman named Bai Wanruo, and found that her face suddenly darkened, and knew what was going on.
Gu Muzhi scolded secretly in his heart, blaming Qin Boyong for causing trouble for himself again.
"Miss Gu, can you play a song?"
The little emperor asked questions again and again, which made Qin Boyong a little impatient, and he stood up directly and said respectfully: "What is Your Majesty doing?" Who doesn't know that Gu Muzhi has just recovered from a serious illness and has no chance to practice, and I don't know where the white girl learned about practicing every day? Even I don't know, how did you know, not to mention that Gu Muzhi and you are meeting for the first time, what are your intentions in framing you like this? ”
That Bai seemed to have an incredible face, and tears fell down in a flash, seeing Qin Boyong so ruthless, he was embarrassed to hide his face.
"Lord, why do you say that? I didn't mean to, I just heard about it. And the prince has seen me before, I am Bai Wanruo. ”
When Gu Muzhi heard this, he knew that his conjecture was correct, and he was already a little impatient, but he really couldn't help it.
"This girl, I don't know you, are you targeting me so much just to get the attention of the prince? Even if you want to marry into the palace, you don't have to frame me like this, if you want the prince to marry you, you can tell the prince directly, it's not impossible, but this needs to be the prince's willingness. ”
After finishing speaking, the scene was embarrassing for a while, and just like that, the little emperor ended the enthronement banquet in a few days.
Gu Muzhi and Qin Boyong returned to the palace together, Gu Muzhi saw that he was defending himself today, and his heart was slightly sweet, and now their relationship has quietly eased.
Back in the yard, Xiaolan cleaned up her makeup, waited for her to wash, and when everything was fine, Gu Muzhi turned over lazily and began to sleep without asking about the world.
Here, Qin Boyong returned to his study and was about to start working, but after entering, he was startled.
"Who are you?"
It turned out that there was a girl lying on the bed in the study, gently covering her body with a thin quilt, and she was already ** at this time.
"Lord, I'm ......"
