Chapter 26: The Banquet
Guo Zhong invited Ji Yanran to sit down, the three of them are very much more sexual, Ji Yanran herself is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Guo Zhong Lao Jianghu will not say, although Guo Xing does not have many occasions, but it is also full of witty words, the three of them drank until the middle of the moon before it ended, and finally Guo Zhong gave the reward Ji Yanran did not accept it, saying that it was enough to say that it was a poem by the prince of Youxing, Guo Zhong arranged for someone to send Ji Yanran away, and Guo Xing also left.
The first thing to do is to find the best framing master in the capital to frame Guo Xing's poem, and smirk at the words every day, how shrewd the old bustard is, at a glance, I know that the girl is Sichun, and it is not serious now, but the more it goes on, the more serious it is, the old bustard himself has seen more, every time such a girl appears, it does not end well in the end, and he can't persuade him, so he can only report to the big boss behind the scenes.
Wang Tao was deeply incomprehensible after hearing this, but he also really felt sorry for Ji Yanran, knowing that it was impossible for Ji Yanran to be with Guo Xing, so he took time to rush to the Moon Cover Courtyard to visit Ji Yanran.
On this day, after Ji Yanran came back from the performance, she saw Wang Tao, and she was happy and said, "Godfather, why are you here."
Wang Tao looked at Ji Yanran, Ji Yanran was a little thin these days, and said, "I'm free today, my godfather will come to see you" Ji Yanran served fragrant tea to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao thought about it and decided to say directly, "Yanran, do you like the prince of Shangxing" Ji Yanran was shocked when she heard it, and said in her heart How could her godfather know, so she lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Wang Tao took a look, is this a tacit acquiescence, his head hurts for a while, what's so good about that evil star, how can you be obsessed with him, and said, "Godfather is for your good, while there is nothing yet, you have to snuff out the thoughts in your heart, it is impossible for you to talk to him" Ji Yanran was shocked, she knew that her godfather's energy, even the princes had to salute three points, why did she say it so decisively now.
shouted coquettishly "godfather" Wang Tao also couldn't bear Ji Yanran's sadness, but there was no way, the sooner he killed Ji Yanran's thoughts, the better, otherwise some of them would suffer later.
Wang Tao said directly, "Yanran, if what you like is an ordinary person, then godfather I will fulfill you, but Guo Xing can't, he is not an ordinary prince, and now you still like him, does he like you, have you thought about it" After finishing speaking, he looked at Ji Yanran.
Ji Yanran was bitter in her heart, to say that it was impossible to say that she hadn't thought about it, but after so many days after that day, I didn't see him come to find him, it seems that he regarded himself as a passerby, and his heart was miserable.
Ji Yanran thought about it and burst into tears, Wang Tao was also distressed for a while, he had no heirs, he had been waiting for the emperor all his life, if it was someone else, he would still have a way to move, find a background, and let the other party be married to Ji Yanran.
But Guo Xing can't, he knows the weight of Guo Xing in the emperor's heart, although he is young now and has no errands, but the degree of attention is not under the prince and the prince Jun, you look at his treatment, the one in the prince can be compared.
Wang Tao then persuaded him, "Besides, your age is not suitable, you are older than him, this is even more impossible, listen to your godfather, forget him."
Wang Tao hated Guo Xing in his heart, why did he see him once, and he was fascinated by his daughter like this, and he couldn't understand it. In the end, after persuading for a long time, it can be regarded as comforting Ji Yanran, Wang Tao couldn't stay outside for a long time, and told the old bustard to let Ji Yanran rest for a few days, and left after explaining.
Guo Xing has been very comfortable in the house these days, and he has found a good jade with fast mutton fat and sealed a vitality array inside, which can automatically absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, and wear it regularly, which can bring infinite benefits to the person who wears it, delay longevity, resist aging, regulate the body, and so on.
After completion, he entered the palace and gave it to Concubine De, telling her to wear it at all times, not to take it off, because it is a piece of his son's mind, Concubine De is wearing it, and she is very happy, or Xing'er wants me to be stronger than his brother, this is the third child does not know, if you know, I am afraid that I will really be sad to die, Guo Xing saw that Concubine De Niangniang wore it, and she was also very happy, with the adjustment of this jade pendant, the body of the mother concubine is not to worry.
In fact, since the first day Guo Zhong invited him, the banquets of the other brothers have been held every day, and they are dizzy every day, but they are all feasted in the palace, and they don't want the third Guo Zhong to be the boss in the mansion, and the princess can't interfere more. The other princes don't have the courage of the third child, and the princesses in the family are not soft characters.
Although Guo Xing has been drunk and smoked every day in the past few days, his cultivation of internal strength has not been relaxed, and he has to practice internal strength every day when he returns home. Guo Xing knows that his martial arts are his foundation, and he has no idea about Ji Yanran, it's nonsense, mainly because he is too young, the past few years have been the moment when he has made rapid progress, and he doesn't want to be distracted.
In the past three years of penance, with the medicinal diet, the cost of the medicinal diet alone is not less than 200,000 taels, and he also has his own Juyuan Array, with the cooperation of each other, he has reached the intermediate martial artist level, and it is not far from the opening of all the twelve canons of the senior martial artist.
Of course, with its own strength, it is still very easy to kill a few high-level martial artists, the more powerful the [Shangqing Yuanyang Sutra] is, the stronger it is, and now Guo Xing's strong internal force can be compared with Zhou Quan.
In a blink of an eye, it was the time of the New Year, on this day Guo Xing received the order to participate in the year-end banquet held by the emperor, the banquet is held every year, the princes and nobles will participate, and there is a competition between the prince and the sons and heirs of the ministers, etc., it is a more celebratory banquet.
Guo Xing received the will in the morning, and the third child came in the afternoon, and as soon as they met, he asked Guo Xing, "Seventeenth brother, have you received the will of the year-end banquet?"
"Got it, what's wrong" Guo Xing didn't take it seriously, he didn't want to participate in this banquet at all, and wondered how to push it off.
Guo Zhong said directly: "It's going to be your performance this year," Guo Xing knew that there was something going on when he heard it.
"Third brother, is there anything else hidden here?" asked Guo Xing.
Guo Zhong didn't talk nonsense and said" In the past few years, you didn't participate, and the competition between the princes and ministers was also better-looking, but it was not good for the princes of the dynasty, the prince didn't say anything, the second brother was not there, and the rest did not reach the level of martial artists”。
Guo Xing's heart moved when he heard this, he thought about it and said, "Third brother, if the younger brother takes this as a condition and wins the first place, do you say that my father will let me go out to travel."
Guo Zhong was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Little Seventeen, you won the first place, are you joking or dizzy?"
Guo Xing smiled bitterly and said, "What do you think, my third brother" Guo Zhong was really stunned, Nima, if you really want to take the first place, it is equivalent to suppressing all the martial artists below, and my brother has not reached the martial arts.
Guo Zhong thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say, after all, there are some things that my brother doesn't know, so I can't give you advice, but you can go to the eldest brother for this matter, isn't it better to negotiate with him than his father, and besides, the eldest brother is the crown prince, he agreed, and the father can't say anything."
After listening to Guo Zhong's words, Guo Xing's eyes lit up, yes, looking for the prince, why did he forget him, "Go, third brother, go now" Guo Zhong wanted to slap himself when he heard it, it's okay, what kind of mouth do you have.
Guo Zhong said squirmingly, "No one else can get along with this, I can't go, do you want to go, if I go with you, can the prince agree at that time" Guo Xing looked at Guo Zhong, the two of them are brothers, and they know what is going on at a glance.
Guo Xing said directly, "That's okay, I'll go to the prince brother and say it" is resolute and resolute, and he doesn't drag it out at all.
The third Guo Zhong didn't go, Guo Xing rode a horse and took Zhou Quan to the prince's mansion, not to mention, the prince was really in the mansion today and didn't go out. Guo Xing went to the prince's mansion for the first time, and the porter didn't recognize him, but he didn't dare to offend when he saw that the costume was the prince's dress, and he didn't dare to offend, Liu Yu, the housekeeper of the prince's mansion, came out to see it, and he didn't recognize Guo Xing, but he knew Zhou Quan, who Zhou Quan was with, and I don't know.
Liu Yu hurriedly came over and saluted and said, "Say hello to the prince"
Guo Xing asked directly, "Is the prince brother in the mansion, I have something to ask to see?"
Liu Yu heard it and said, "The prince please go to the living room to drink tea, and the little one will report" Guo Xing nodded and followed Liu Yu into the prince's mansion, and came to the living room to serve tea, Liu Yu went straight to the backyard to meet the prince, and the prince frowned when he heard that Guo Xing was coming, his little brother was too good to toss, either not moving, or it was a big event, got, go and see it, anyway, it was his younger brother.
As soon as the prince entered the living room, he said, "What kind of wind is it today, let the seventeenth brother, you come to my mansion, and you will eat here at my brother's place in a while," the prince was very enthusiastic.
Guo Xing saw that the prince was coming, the etiquette could not be abolished, the prince was the prince, and saluted and said, "Brother meets the prince" The prince saw that Xiao Seventeen was really polite to him, and his mood was a lot better, so Guo Xing was exempt from courtesy.
The two sat down, "You must have something, let's say, something, it's definitely not a trivial matter for you to come here in person" The prince said directly.
Guo Xing smiled and said, "Big brother, the younger brother has something to ask for, I hope the eldest brother can fulfill it" The prince really has something to do, but he still looks at what he will do.
"What do you say first, I can help you, the eldest brother doesn't say anything," the prince said directly.
Guo Xing said, "Big brother, the little brother wants to go out for a trip, I hope the big brother can help" As soon as the prince heard it, he knew that he couldn't do it.
"Seventeenth brother, the princes can only go out of Beijing with their father's will, the eldest brother can't help you in this matter, you should go directly to your father" The prince directly refused, for Guo Xing to go out of Beijing, the prince is really not at ease.
