Chapter 279: Winter Banquet

Gu Linjiang's invitation was sent after a day, Gu Yan looked at the invitation in the hand and felt a little ridiculous, Gu Linjiang really had no other way, so he made this decision, taking advantage of the reason for this winter banquet, invited Shen Zhongbai to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and at the same time, he also invited the ministers of the court, he must have taken this opportunity to send Gu Zhihua back to the palace.

Gu Yan took the invitation card in her hand and shook it in front of Shen Qianshan, "Did you see it?" Gu Linjiang, an old fox, even if he doesn't need your approval, there is still a way to make that Shen Zhongbai honestly take Gu Zhihua home, you can't be unconvinced, right? ”

Gu Yan didn't actually want to sarcastically mock Shen Qianshan, but in fact, she was more or less unbalanced in her heart, she had suffered so much grievance for no reason, and Gu Zhihua was just locked up for a few days, and Gu Linjiang also used such a big pomp and circumstance just to allow her to return to the palace. If not, Gu Yan knew in her heart that Gu Linjiang just regarded their daughters as pawns to consolidate her position, and she was afraid that there would really be some imbalance in her heart.

"How's that, do you want to go?" Gu Yan sighed helplessly, she already knew that this must be a Hongmen banquet, but the invitations had already been delivered to the door, and she couldn't help but go.

Shen Qianshan frowned, "No, no, no." "Shen Qianshan has always disliked that kind of entertainment scene, not to mention that this time he miscalculated, so it became like this, if he goes over now, wouldn't he lose his face?

"I'm not going, and you don't want to go." Shen Qianshan felt bored, he had already discussed with Gu Huai'an and the two of them, how to make the Ye family show his feet as soon as possible, but he didn't want to, Gu Linjiang had already come up with a way to let Gu Zhihua return to the palace so quickly, which really caught the two of them off guard.

"That's not good, it's already written above, the emperor will also go, and this invitation clearly responds to my name, even if you don't go, there must be someone from the Nine Kings' Mansion, otherwise, it will inevitably fall behind."

Since everyone is in the situation, Gu Yan is naturally not afraid, someone will dare to do something to himself in front of everyone, since Gu Linjiang has already put down his body and invited himself over, he is so exquisite, "Otherwise, I'll go over and let Qi Bai follow me, he can still protect my safety next to me, you can rest assured." ”

Shen Qianshan hesitated slightly, but still agreed, "Okay, let him follow you over If there is anything, don't stay there for long, it's always right to come back early." Shen Qianshan didn't have so many ideas, in the recent period, the things in his hands were indeed not ordinary, and he could feel at ease after dealing with these things earlier.

Gu Yan didn't have any other thoughts, she just wanted to see how the Gu Zhihua that was sent out of the palace was taken back by Shen Zhongbai?

After Gu Yan came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she realized that today's Gu Linjiang had indeed put some thought into it, and the entire Gu family was now being taken care of up and down, and the moment she came in, she had an illusion that this place was not a place where she had been oppressed for so many years.

"Oh, that's ridiculous."

Since Shen Zhongbai had already received the invitation, it was impossible not to show up, but she had always hated this state of being led by the nose, Gu Linjiang was always smart, and this time she directly wrote on the invitation that the emperor would come in person. This is the ministers are all looking at themselves, if they really don't show up, it's not just Gu Linjiang who is ashamed.

"The emperor has arrived-" This kind of sharp prolonged sound, Gu Yan is very familiar, he put down the small pastry in his hand, and stood in place, Shen Zhongbai was dressed in purple clothes, but he looked very temperamental, and the expression on his face seemed to be even more indifferent than before, maybe it was because he had been in a high position for a long time, and he always had to keep a straight face on people, so he didn't even bother to keep the previous smirk.

"Your Majesty, the old ministers greet the holy driver." Gu Linjiang put on a smirk, and the folds on his face were almost overflowing, "The emperor is here, and he is not welcome." ”

"Isn't it out of sight to say that you are far away? Didn't Prime Minister Gu already write on the invitation, will I come in person? "Shen Zhongbai didn't have anything to hide with Gu Linjiang at all, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction." Prime Minister Gu Cheng is more and more able to figure out the holy will, and even Lian Zhen's thoughts. It's all clear. ”

Gu Linjiang is now pretending to be confused, in short, in order to let Gu Zhihua go back to the palace faster, what is it to do these things by himself?

"The emperor laughed and figured out the holy will, how can this kind of thing be done by my courtiers?" Gu Linjiang didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, this time I'm afraid that even if he has the means, he will definitely be written down by Shen Zhongbai.

Gu Yan didn't care too much about Shen Zhongbai over there, and now he has no relationship with him, and he really doesn't care about his affairs at all, but he just wants to see a lively scene, Gu Linjiang can be regarded as having a bloody investment this time, and let his guards with better martial arts go to the stage one by one to fight in the ring, and he put a thousand taels of silver in the ring as a bet, which has attracted the attention of many ministers of the DPRK and China.

Gu Yan then looked at the fight in the ring with interest, it was really strange to say, a dignified prime minister, with a thousand taels of silver, just for fun, isn't it corrupt enough? Shen Zhongbai, who is the emperor, can even watch it, is it really going to make a big account for Gu Linjiang, and when the time comes, will he make a good calculation with him?

was watching the lively Gu Yan on the side, but suddenly felt a cold back for no reason, I don't know what happened, the funds are obviously out of the house today, and when the food is in the house, I still feel like people, why do I suddenly feel like someone is staring at her all the time, she subconsciously looked back, but found that most of the people behind her were watching the excitement like herself, today Gu Linjiang is just to take over and send Gu Zhihua back to the palace, so he will do such a thing, It's not to let Shen Zhongbai notice this place, he is also happy, it's just a personal favor, appearing at this banquet, and showing up.

Gu Yan glanced around, and the only thing that looked at her side was a very inconspicuous little family, thinking about it, how could an ordinary family dare to keep staring at herself? It must be that she thinks too much, maybe because she is pregnant during this time, Gu Yan has always felt that she is suspicious, and she always doubts that the people around her will suddenly poison her, it is really ridiculous to think about it.

Shen Zhongbai was standing not far behind him at this time, looking at his indifferent face, Gu Yan suddenly felt a little ridiculous and a little humble, if she hadn't been able to see her final ending, I'm afraid that by now, she would still be dead set on following Shen Zhongbai's side, she has always lived for Shen Zhongbai, but she didn't realize that from beginning to end, she was just a chess piece in his hand.

Since he has been able to change his fate, it is impossible to continue to get close to Shen Zhongbai, today's matter is the last time he will be kind and help Gu Zhihua, since he really likes Shen Zhongbai, help her and help her, I just hope that she will not do so much in the future, and she will not go to great lengths to frame herself. Yes?

Watching the people on this stage fall one by one, the guests present gradually lost interest, after all, most of the people invited by Gu Linjiang to the banquet today are ministers of the court, and there are still relatively few military generals, so in fact, few people are interested in this kind of martial arts competition.

"Since no one is willing to come up and try the martial arts part anymore, then we are going to start the part of the civil fighting now."

Gu Linjiang is indeed a master who will grasp the opportunity, seeing the lack of interest of the guests present, he quickly moved out of his own treasure box, and no one has been able to work neatly for seven or eight years.

Gu Yan knew that every time a banquet was held in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Linjiang would move out of his treasure, and I had to admit that Gu Linjiang was indeed literate, so his pair was indeed very few people could match, but this time she was planted in her own hands, because of this pair, even he himself failed to come up with a neat pair.

Gu Linjiang said that what is it to let everyone play freely and say the neat way, in fact, sometimes, Gu Linjiang may just want to know, how can this pair be made public, right?

Gu Yan has long lost interest in banquets, and such a scene of officialdom staggering and responding to each other is really not suitable for him.

Gu Yan turned around to look at the two old ministers playing chess on the other side, these two old men were two more pedantic people above the court. So I really can't play with others, so I have to sit in the small pavilion next to me and play with my own chess game, to be honest, in such a cold weather, the two old people have to stay outside, so they came up with such a way to pass the time.

"It's terrible, it looks like it's really a dead end." One of the old men seemed to frown, as if the chess game of the two men was in an impasse, and neither of them could come up with any countermeasures, which was a bit bad.
