On Chinese New Year's Eve, a palace banquet was held in the palace, which coincided with the arrival of foreign envoys from Fanbang, and the ministers were invited to participate, and Lu Youqing took the opportunity to intercede for Wangshu, and she was able to lift the ban.

Xiao Lingheng did not give Wangshu a good face because of the joy of the festival, but as if out of sight, he sent a chariot to Wangshu alone.

Without the support of her father and aunt, the people in the palace are not as enthusiastic about her as before. Indifference also has the benefit of being indifferent, and the flattery that falls into the ears is pure, and tends to be inflammatory.

Xiao Sirou is now married to Gu Huaiyu, but she loves to be in the limelight. During the banquet, he recommended himself to perform a water sleeve dance.

People are like this, once they get what they dream of, they always have to squander it and show it off, especially since she has lacked such attention since she was a child.

After Xiao Sirou finished dancing, she smiled and looked in the direction where Wangshu was, "Sister's dancing skills are far above me, so don't you take advantage of today's celebration to give you a review?" ”

Everyone looked at it with great interest.

Wangshu's face was slightly condensed, she was really not good at dancing, and naturally knew that Xiao Sirou wanted her to make a fool of herself.

Just as she was about to speak, someone had already answered for her, "Miss Wangshu is a famous girl, and she is naturally proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but this dance music inevitably carries some wind and dust in the Goulan Washer, and the ladies of Chang'an have always disdained to learn, and my sister is fond of these." ”

It was Gu Huaiyu's side concubine Kong Yueyao who helped her answer. Her mind is much deeper, Xiao Sirou is naturally not her opponent, and Kong Qingyun has been quite reused by Xiao Shuli recently, Xiao Shuli is afraid that she has also told Xiao Sirou to let her have a few points. So although Xiao Sirou was so angry that she blushed, she didn't dare to attack.

Kong Yueyao picked up the wine cup and looked at Wangshu from afar.

Wangshu also smiled in return, but there was no wave in his heart. How could Kong Yueyao not know about the affairs of Xiao Mansion, and now seeing that Wangshu was losing power, she stepped forward to relieve her, but she thought that Wangshu also hated Xiao Sirou, so she came to show her goodwill. She knows that the enemy of her enemy is her friend.

As soon as he put down the wine glass, the palace people loudly announced: "The foreign envoys are here." ”

I saw two teams of people walking in, and there was a woman in the middle. The woman has a deep silhouette, bewitching makeup, exotic costumes, her shoulders and arms are exposed, the gems on her forehead and wrists are ornate and rare, and the embroidery on her skirt is different from that of her own dynasty.

She put her arms on her chest and bowed her head, "See Your Majesty Nanxi." ”

"No courtesy." Gu Chengye introduced to the courtiers on both sides, "This is Princess Bai Xue." ”

The ministers stepped down from their seats and bowed in return, "The princess is extremely happy." ”

Bai Xue bowed slightly, but her eyes were looking straight ahead, "Your Majesty, I look at the mirror every day, and I always feel that my face is flying away, and they all say that there are many strange people in the Central Plains, which of you has a way to make this princess stay young forever?" ”

As soon as she came, she made difficult remarks, thinking that she had been prepared for a long time.

Seeing that no one responded, she asked, "Who is Gu Huaijin?" ”

Gu Huaijin stood up, "I am." ”

Bai Xue looked at him, her eyes were arrogant, "You are the man His Majesty wants me to marry, what can you do?" ”

This question is full of provocations, and if it can't be answered, it will seem that Nanxi is incompetent.

But Gu Huaijin doesn't like to be in the limelight, and he doesn't want to marry such a woman, so he shook his head slightly, "The most important thing is that the world can't keep it. The king can't make the princess evergreen. ”

Sure enough, Bai Xue snorted coldly, "You Central Plains are nothing more than that." ”

This is a big disrespectful offense, just because she is from another country and has different customs, Gu Chengye is not to blame.

He looked around the courtiers, but no one answered. Gu Chengye's face sank.

Gu Huaixin saw that everyone was silent, so he walked out of his seat, "The feelings gradually became late, and the face of the mirror was shocked. Thinking that the princess is used to galloping on the grassland, now that she has entered the palace, she is naturally unhappy when she is imprisoned like a bird. The bird looked in the mirror and screamed to the sky. If the princess can meet her soulmate in this palace, she will naturally become happy. Those who rejoice are hard to grow old. ”

His words made Bai Xue a little surprised, and her eyes lit up instantly, "It makes sense, this princess likes to hear this, but I didn't expect you to know the legends of our country, so tell me, how can I find a soulmate?" ”

Looking at Bai Xue's sincere appearance, Gu Chengye's face softened slightly, and he was even more happy with this little son in his heart.

"In the huge Central Plains, there are naturally many princesses. This king is also one of them. This king also likes to throw pots, and I heard that the princess is also interested in this, so why don't we try it today? ”

The robbers are strong and belligerent, and naturally they will not miss any opportunity to compete. Bai Xue said confidently: "Okay, this princess is very good at throwing pots, if you can be equal to me, I will recognize you as a bosom friend." ”

Gu Huaixin saw that she was hooked so quickly, and smiled slightly, "The usual pitcher is not interesting, let's have a fresher game." Put the treasures of Nanxi and the robbers in the pot, and whoever shoots it will belong to whom, how? ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The palace man quickly brought the pitcher utensils. Gu Huaixin and Bai Xue each took twelve arrows. If they don't put in one, the palace people will take out the treasure in the pot.

Bai Xue is indeed very good at throwing pots, no matter how small the spout is, she can also throw it into it without any difference. Surprisingly, Gu Huaixin is not inferior to her, it is rare that he is not good at riding and shooting, but he is so good at throwing pots.

In the end, the two really became a tie.

When the palace man took out the treasure in the last pot, Bai Xue covered her mouth in surprise, "This is our bi exile from the robbery, and I usually use it to eat tea." ”

Gu Huaixin took Bi Liuli from the palace people, and handed it to her with a smile, "This is what this king found and gave to the princess." ”

Bai Xue looked at the gem in her hand, she couldn't put it down, and at the same time she was a little curious, "This bi is scarce, and it is only available to our royal family, how did you find it?" ”

"If you have a heart, you can find it. Princess Nengbo smiled and it was worth it. Gu Huaixin saw that she was happy, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, quite a bit of a suave appearance, "The princess should smile from time to time, and when she laughs, her face is more than ten years younger." ”

"You're really good at talking." Bai Xue was amused by him, she turned around and made a bold request to Gu Chengye, "Your Majesty, can I change my husband?" I want him. ”

"Him?" Gu Chengye was a little surprised, "He has a concubine." ”

Bai Xue didn't mind, she just identified him, and he was the only one in this palace who looked pleasing to the eye.

"Our robbers have always been informal, as long as I like him, it doesn't hurt to be a side concubine."

Gu Chengye hesitated slightly, his eyes swept over Gu Huaixin, and Gu Huaixin hurriedly said, "It's good that my father decides, I can't refuse a beauty like a princess." ”

Gu Chengye glared at him, turned his head and said to Bai Xue kindly: "Well, since the princess is willing, I have no opinion." ”

Concubine Xie over there gently skimmed a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, and the light in her eyes flew by, and it was difficult to hide her joy.

Xiao Shuli was unhappy in her heart, this prodigal son did not forget to be beautiful on any occasion, but this time he let him pick up a bargain.

Gu Huaijin looked at Gu Huaixin, and a trace of vigilance and suspicion flashed in his eyes.

And Wangshu's attention was on Ye Miaoyi on the other side. Her face turned pale and her brows furrowed. Watching her husband flirt with other women in public, I should feel very uncomfortable.

is also a woman, Wangshu is inevitably worthless for her, how can such a heart-wrenching Gu Huaixin afford her love.

Wangshu was bored, so he drank a few more sips of wine, but when the wine came up, he was a little drunk. She left the feast and went out into the garden to blow the wind.

Just as she was about to go back, a figure stopped her.

Wangshu frowned, "What are you doing here?" ”

Is she a dog? She has to follow wherever she goes.

"Do what?" Xiao Sirou raised her eyebrows and sneered, her eyes unabashedly revealing hatred for Wangshu, "If it weren't for Kong Yueyao helping you and letting you get away with it, I'm afraid you would have lost face by now." ”

Wangshu doesn't want to be like a mad dog, and now that he has lost power, more is better than less.

She turned to leave, but was dragged back by Xiao Sirou again.

Wangshu took a deep breath, "Why are you holding on to me?" ”

"I'm glad to do it! I'm a princess now, so I naturally have the ability to hold on to you. Xiao Sirou pursed her lips quite proudly, she circled around Wangshu, and poked her fingers at her heart, "Confident as you, I'm afraid I didn't expect the people of the Green Gang to be so easy to buy, right?" I easily let my father down in you. Sad? You're afraid you'll have to go through this feeling for a long time. ”

"I'm afraid it won't be too long."

Gu Huaijin walked out from the depths of the forest, and he listened to it for a long time. Because it was dark, Xiao Sirou didn't notice him.

Xiao Sirou put down her hand in a hurry, and bowed respectfully to Gu Huaijin, "Your Highness is extremely happy." ”

Gu Huaijin didn't pay attention to her, but turned his head and asked the palace people on the side, "Did you all hear what the princess just said?" ”

The palace people replied one after another: "The slaves and maids have heard. ”

Gu Huaijin nodded with satisfaction, "Repeat it to this king." ”

"In order to let Lord Xiao be disappointed in Miss Wangshu, the princess bribed the people of the Green Gang to blame Miss Wangshu."

Wangshu listened to everyone's unified voice, slightly surprised, she knew that this was specially told by Gu Huaijin, and she couldn't help but be a little moved. When I turned my head, I saw Xiao Sirou's angry appearance, and I felt a little funny.

In the end, she is an idiot, Xiao Shuli and Zhang Yixian worked hard to lay out the game for her that day, but now she easily broke it with a few words.

"You talk nonsense! Hugh has to spew blood here! Xiao Sirou didn't dare to get angry at Gu Huaijin, so she could only aim at the palace people behind him.

It's a pity that it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and the palace people just listen to Gu Huaijin's words and act, so naturally they won't be afraid of her.

Gu Huaijin said to the Zi Shu beside him: "The banquet is also dispersed, you go and invite Lord Yushi over, and let the palace people repeat the princess's words in front of him in person." ”

"You dare!" Xiao Sirou stopped him angrily, but Zixu had a lot of skill and easily pushed her away.

She reluctantly returned to Gu Huaijin, "Your Highness, the concubine thinks that she has not offended you, why do you want to kill the concubine?" ”

Gu Huaijin smiled coldly, "Then I have to ask yourself, why did you want to kill your eldest sister." ”

"So you're here to defend her?" Xiao Sirou snorted coldly, her eyes wandered back and forth between Gu Huaijin and Wangshu, and said with bad intentions: "You also said that there is no adultery between you?" ”

Gu Huaijin's face suddenly turned cold, and before he could have a seizure, Xiao Lingheng rushed over with Lu Youqing and Zhang Yixian. On the other side, Kong Yueyao somehow got the news and pulled Gu Huaiyu over.

Xiao Lingheng looked at the unkind faces of several people, and already had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"Not really." Gu Huaijin smiled lazily: "This king only knows that there is a female son-in-law in Xiao Mansion, but he doesn't know that Lord Yushi also has a second female son-in-law. ”

I've met so many times, how can I really not know.

Knowing that he was pretending, Xiao Lingheng was not easy to debunk, so he had to reply: "Sirou is from the minister's concubine's room." ”

Gu Huaijin bowed her head thoughtfully, "It was originally raised by a little lady, no wonder." ”

Xiao Lingheng was embarrassed, Kong Yueyao couldn't help laughing, Gu Huaiyu glanced at her, she coughed lightly and smiled.

Gu Huaijin asked the palace people to repeat Xiao Sirou's words, and after Xiao Lingheng heard it, he was so angry that he beat his chest, and his eyes swept over Lu Youqing and Zhang Yixian viciously.

"It's really a miracle, how did I give birth to these two things with bad intentions."

He walked up to Xiao Sirou and pointed at her angrily: "If you are not married, I will punish you severely today, but now that you have a husband's family, then let His Royal Highness King Yong take care of you!" ”

He threw the problem to Gu Huaiyu and wanted him to come out to solve the siege. Gu Huaiyu was just about to speak out for maintenance, but Kong Yueyao pulled his sleeve, "Your Highness is not worth making a big deal about for your sister?" Let my sister apologize. ”

Kong Yueyao's voice was not loud, but Xiao Sirou accurately grasped this sentence, and she was worried that she couldn't vent the anger in her heart.

"What do you mean I'm not worthy? Little, you wish I was making a fool of myself, did you? ”

Xiao Sirou was so angry that she trembled all over, rushed over and grabbed Kong Yueyao's arm.

Kong Yueyao's little face turned pale with fright, and she retreated again and again.

She pulled Gu Huaiyu's sleeve and said aggrievedly: "I'm just afraid that my sister will make a fool of myself if things get bigger, so I want my sister to apologize and reconcile." Besides, so many palace people have heard what my sister said, so they can't hide it even if they want to. My sister didn't take care of her mouth and caused such a big trouble to His Highness, why is it still to blame me. ”

Men are naturally disgusted with shrews, just as they can't see women being coquettish and beautiful women being wronged. It's a shame that Xiao Sirou was raised by Zhang Yixian to such a big age, and she really didn't even learn the essence of one ten-thousandth of Zhang Yixian.

Xiao Sirou and Kong Yueyao scuffled together, Gu Huaiyu gradually lost patience, and seeing that they couldn't be separated, he was so angry that he slapped Xiao Sirou.

Xiao Sirou stopped her movements and looked at Gu Huaiyu in disbelief, tears rolling down like pearls with broken threads. She looked back at Xiao Lingheng and Zhang Yixian, but no one dared to speak for her, and in the end she could only grit her teeth and run away crying.

Wang Shu was amazed to see it on the side.

It's really a foot high, a foot high, one thing descends one thing, Xiao Sirou is now an opponent in the palace.

Gu Huaiyu straightened his robe in embarrassment. No matter how stupid he is, he can see the situation clearly. Raising his eyes and glaring at the initiator of the chaos, "Cousin, Imperial Brother, you are really good! ”

Gu Huaijin didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in his words, and smiled shamelessly: "The third brother has won the award." ”

Gu Huaiyu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.

Xiao Lingheng shook his head and sighed and walked away.

Wangshu followed behind Lu Youqing, glanced back at Gu Huaijin as he left, and smiled softly.

The smile bloomed in the moonlight, like the first thaw of winter snow, which was the perfect color between the moonlight and the snow.
