Chapter 44: The Old Man

As soon as the peace talks with the Western Yuan were discussed, the emperor ordered a banquet in the imperial garden to entertain the Western Yuan envoys.

At this banquet, all the heads and faces of the Northern Yuan Kingdom were on the invitation list, and the important female dependents sat on the side, and Wang Yan, as a popular official now, naturally had to attend.

Gu Rong let Xiaocui clean up, and when she finished painting her makeup, picking out hair accessories, and choosing clothes for Gu Rong to put on, it was already sunset.

Gu Rong's admiration for Xiao Cui in her heart has gone to the next level, just by dressing up, Xiao Cui took nearly two hours.

Gu Rong changed into her dress and stood in front of the bronze mirror to see what Xiaocui had tossed her for a long time.

I saw that the person in the mirror was dressed in a pale pink dress, with curved willow eyebrows, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and the pupils in the eyes were pitch black.

Gu Rong was stunned, this is probably the highest level of people relying on clothes and horses to rely on saddles.

Xiao Cui was also very happy to see it, and when she was about to leave, she slapped her head, "Oh no, I forgot something!" ”

Gu Rong and Qiu Yi both looked at her suspiciously.

Xiao Cui hurriedly rummaged through the jewelry box, and soon found something, and said happily, "Found it." ”

The two looked at each other, and it turned out to be a step shake.

Xiao Cui hurriedly put the step shake on for her, and said, "Miss is the first time she has seen someone, and she must not be compared to other young ladies. ”

After she put on the peacock step to make sure that nothing went wrong, she said, "Okay, Miss can go." ”

At the beginning of Hua Deng's hand, Gu Rong followed Wang Yan into the palace.

Tonight's court lit a hundred lamps to guide the way, shining on the bluestone steps as bright as day, and the qin music and the pianist's graceful singing voice came from afar.

This peace talk is intended for the people on both sides, so the banquet is naturally extraordinarily grand.

Dollar.

Gu Rong shook her head for some reason, Xu is eldest brother was worried about it today, and there were many thoughts in her eyes, which made her feel as if something was going to happen tonight.

There is still a while before the banquet begins, Wang Yan, as a new official and the chief judge of the Yandu case, is naturally indispensable to intersect with major families, and Gu Rong will inevitably have to get to know the people of various families with him.

Gu Rong followed aside, her face stiffened with a smile, and the eldest brother was talking to Shangguan Wenqi of the Ministry of Rites, she quietly stepped aside and moved away.

A gentle and surprised cry came from behind him, "Miss Wang!"

His voice was really not small, and some people around him had already cast puzzled glances.

Gu Rong turned her head, and the man behind her was dressed in a crescent-white brocade robe, with a face like a jade crown, handsome and chic, elegant and self-contained.

Gu Rong was a little puzzled, but she still gave a polite smile.

The man saw her smile and responded, walked to the front in three or two steps, and saw that she was dressed more beautiful and dazzling than before, and said in surprise, "I heard Yuxuan goodbye last time, and I saw the girl again today, it seems that Yang Fan is very lucky." ”

Only then did Gu Rong remember that the person in front of her was Yang Fan, the son of the Yang family who was kicked into the water by her aunt last time, and she had to smile politely, "Young Master Yang." ”

Yang Fan was already standing beside her and said, "I wonder if Miss Wang would mind going along?"

Wang Yan was talking to people not far away, there were strangers in this garden, and she didn't know a few people, and just as she was about to agree, she saw a commotion from the crowd not far away, and there were exclamations in all directions.

The young official was talking to someone, and through the curling lamp, he smiled faintly, and the man's face was as handsome as a fairy.

Gu Rong was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had seen it wrong, and when she blinked and looked again, the mermaid rushed in, and she had already passed through the flower corridor and walked towards the banquet.

On the side, Yang Fan said, "This Xiyuan Kingdom is indeed full of sincerity, and sent this one over." ”

She probably also understands the abnormality of her eldest brother today.

Gu Rong moved away, leaving Yang Fan alone.

Bypassing the pavilion, I saw them again in the distance.

Wang Yan is still wearing a dark red official uniform today, talking and laughing freely, as if he doesn't know the people next to him, he turned his head to see her, and laughed loudly, "Sister." ”

Gu Rong walked over slowly at this call.

As if she didn't know about that burning gaze, Gu Rong was polite, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and when she walked to the front, there were many officials, she didn't want to call them one by one, so she made a greeting salute, and smiled at Wang Yan, "Brother." ”

Wang Yan said to her, "This is the King of Qi of the Western Yuan. ”

Gu Rong saluted again, and in her gestures, she was all in the demeanor of everyone's ladies, and said, "The little girl has seen King Qi." ”

Ding Xiuyan looked at her with an uncertain expression, and said with a smile, "The younger sister is born with a beautiful appearance, and the Wang family is afraid that the threshold for proposing marriage will be broken." ”

Wang Yan laughed and said, "King Qi has praised it, my sister's family affairs have been decided, and she will be married soon." ”

As they walked, they said, "Oh? I don't know which son's son has this blessing to be this beauty?"

Gu Rong lowered her eyes and followed Wang Yan's side.

She never thought that she would see Ding Xiuyan again, when she said goodbye to Kangcheng, the two were destined to be strangers in the future, and now Fang Zhong is no longer Fang Zhong, Gu Rong, and not the original Gu Rong.

Thinking like this, everyone was already sitting at the table, and Gu Rong sat next to the table, not knowing what she was thinking, her eyebrows lowered, and she occasionally drank a cup of her own.

The third time he bottomed out in the cup, Wang Yan couldn't help but whisper, "Sister, don't be greedy for the cup." Gu Rong is not strong enough to drink, he knows that the wine in the palace is extremely mellow and has great stamina, according to her way of drinking, it is estimated that she should be unconscious after a while.

Gu Rong's fourth cup was falling into her stomach, she only felt that her throat was slightly spicy, she raised her eyes and glanced at the man in the upper right, and asked Youyou, "Big brother, don't you hate?" ”

She is still depressed about this?

Wang Yan brushed her back and comforted her gently, "Sister, it's all over, didn't you teach me, do you want to look forward?" ”

She looked at Wang Yan, the latter nodded at her, Gu Rong's brain was slightly hot, and she also nodded slowly.

The sound of the piano is melodious, and the dancing girl enters.

In fact, it is still a little difficult to let go, but there are too many things to pile up, and the past is not so important.

In the year she left Cannes, she expanded the restaurant, dark spots, murder, trading houses, and wealth-collecting businesses were everywhere, and even the Spring Building, which was the most able to inquire about news, was also spread all over the place.

In the most difficult year, she and Wang Yan depended on each other. She didn't dare to contact Aunt Gu, afraid that one day she would die in that year, for fear that she would be sad and sad.

After three rounds of drinking, Gu Rong excused herself to sit and was depressed, and wanted to go out for a walk, Wang Yan saw that her cheeks were slightly red, thinking that she was a little drunk, and was about to tell her, the official of the Ministry of Rites suddenly shouted, "Lord Wang......"

Gu Rong took the opportunity to leave her position.

Speaking of walking, that is, looking for a place with few people to sit, it is impossible to run around, the deep palace is high, guarded by guards, and if you are not careful, you will be interrogated and seized.
