"Excuse yourself and sit down." Emperor Dong Zhou raised his hand and said lightly.

After thanking His Majesty, the people below got up and sat down.

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Ange glanced at the Eastern Zhou Emperor above, and saw that although he was still sharp-eyed, he had lost a lot of weight, and his face was not as ruddy as when they met for the first time, and the yellow dragon pattern on his body made him a little rickety. Her gaze swept around the princes present, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile of unknown meaning.

"Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Shu and the Empress salute the people." The Eastern Zhou Emperor and the Blue Empress picked up the wine glasses on the table together and saluted the people below.

The people below hurriedly picked up the wine glasses, and after saluting back, the two sides drank it all.

This glass of wine represents the official start of this Chinese New Year's Eve feast.

A group of dancing girls in colorful clothes ran in from the entrance of the hall with streamers, and a bunch of musicians also began to play.

Although it was hindered by the emperor and queen sitting above, the people below did not dare to be too presumptuous, but just followed the people sitting next to them to drink and chat, and then enjoyed the song and dance.

After Gu Ange drank a glass of wine, he took the wine glass in his hand and played with it, and did not let the palace maid standing behind him add wine.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk, with the strength of the wine, everyone's courage was a lot bigger, a bunch of generals you pushed me, I pushed you, and finally pushed up a simple man with a wine pot and a wine glass. "Hey, Lord Wang... Will I give you a drink? The general's honest smile was obviously pushed up to be the first warrior to eat crabs.

Mo Wuxian smiled helplessly, understanding that this group of guys was planning to pour themselves, but even so, he could only pick up the wine glass, touch it with the general, and then drink it all, and it was impossible to use any spirits for the night banquet in the palace.

The remaining generals who were peeking at all this around saw that the prince had drunk, so they gathered around one after another, one person had a cup, and Gu Ange's scalp was numb when they saw it, and they couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Mo Wuxian. However, Mo Wuxian seemed to be used to it, and he did not refuse to come.

The generals who watched him at this move erupted into cheers from time to time. It's so lively here, but it attracts a lot of people's attention.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also attracted by the atmosphere of this group of people.

This group of generals has always had a good impression of His Royal Highness the Prince, and when they saw him coming, they made way for him one after another.

"A-Yuan, have a drink?" Zhou Qiye raised his glass and asked.

"If you're not well, don't drink it." Mo Wuxian said this, picked up his wine glass and drank it.

Zhou Qiye smiled faintly and drank it, "It's okay, it's just a cup." After toasting this glass of wine, Zhou Qiye glanced at the generals around him who were staring at Mo Wuxian like wolves, chuckled, handed over the battlefield back to this group of people, and went back to accompany his own princess.

Gu Ange on the side stared at this group of people interestingly, with a smile in his eyes. No matter how embarrassed this group of big men was to bully such a weak woman as Gu Ange, it made her watch a lot of good shows.

However, just as she was in a good mood to watch the play, a deep male voice came, followed by a wine glass, "Is this the princess side by side?" General Li Pengyu, can you invite the princess to have a drink? ”

Gu Ange glanced at Li Pengyu with a light smile, and did not take the wine glass he handed over.

The surrounding crowd quieted down the moment he came, and they all looked at Li Pengyu vigilantly, seeing that he came up and directly found the princess, everyone knew in their hearts that this guy was probably in love with the princess. In an instant, these people all quietly moved their wrists, and when they saw that Li Pengyu did something they shouldn't do, they rushed up and beat him to death. Even if the princess is no longer favored, it is the princess who is marrying side by side with the Ming Media of the palace, and it is not his turn to covet it.

"Why, the princess refuses to give General Ben this face?" Li Pengyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that Gu Ange didn't take the wine glass, and said coldly.

"Phew! Where did you get the face of a little four-rank general to let the princess give you face? One of the generals unceremoniously scolded back, Li Pengyu and the palace are rivals, and the people on the road to the palace will naturally not save face for him.

Li Pengyu's face was slightly gloomy, but he didn't pay attention to the general, and handed out a wine glass to Gu Ange with his own care.

What happened to His Royal Highness naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the Eastern Zhou Emperor sitting above. "What happened to you, King Side by Side?"

The Eastern Zhou Emperor stared down and asked in a low voice. As soon as the Eastern Zhou Emperor asked, all the eyes of the audience focused on the table of Mo Wuxian and Gu Ange.

Everyone naturally noticed Li Pengyu's toast to Gu Ange, and couldn't help but start gossiping in their hearts, what's the matter, this General Pengyu has just returned to Beijing and is going to have trouble with the king side by side, or at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, tsk, it is really courageous.

"Back to the emperor, the last general just wants to toast the princess side by side with a glass of wine, but now it seems that the princess side by side doesn't want to give the last general this face." Li Pengyu glanced at Mo Wuxian, who was sitting next to Gu Ange and didn't say anything, and then replied respectfully to the Eastern Zhou Emperor.

Emperor Dong Zhou smiled heartily, "It's just a glass of wine, and it won't be good if the princess side by side will give Peng Yu a face." ”

Is this a matter of a glass of drink? This is obviously a matter of face related to the side of the palace, a mere four-rank military general dares to force the side by side princess to drink, this is clearly a slap in the face of the side side of the palace, okay? Gu Ange didn't believe that the Eastern Zhou Emperor above really didn't know.

However, even if the Eastern Zhou Emperor's move was to slap the face of the palace side by side, he opened his mouth in front of so many people, Gu Ange couldn't help but do it, so she raised her hand and motioned for Luan Ge to pour her a glass of wine, just as she was about to drink, Mo Wuxian, who had not spoken, spoke, "General Pengyu toasts us side by side in the palace, don't you dare to be a toast, or this king and his wife toast you, and ask the general to say hello to the prince on behalf of this king, by the way." Saying this, he laughed in a low voice, "By the way, congratulations to the general for no longer having to guard the frontier and returning to Beijing to retire." ”

Although Li Pengyu said that he was begging the Eastern Zhou Emperor to transfer him back to avoid the limelight temporarily, he was only thirty-six years old now, and he had no plans to stay in Beijing in the future, otherwise it would really be a shame to go to his grandmother's house.

Sure enough, when Li Pengyu heard this, his original smile immediately froze on his face, and he couldn't drink the glass of wine in his hand.

Mo Wuxian didn't care what his reaction was now, he directly drank the wine in his hand with Gu Ange, and then showed the empty wine glass to Li Pengyu, signaling him to drink it quickly.

Even if Li Pengyu, who steals chickens and rice, doesn't want to drink this glass of wine, he can only grit his teeth and drink it, after all, this is something he provoked himself, and everyone in the audience is staring at him, even if he is thick-skinned, he will be embarrassed.
