Chapter 203: The Palace Annual Banquet
Luo Chen and Wu Fan finally quieted down, with Gu Lan's current status and the degree of protection of the empress, they thought that it was difficult to threaten.
Only by relying on the sword to go sideways, when looking forward to the spring season, give him a fatal blow!
Scold!
It's just a little white-faced student, Wu Fan doesn't believe that he can escape in front of his army!
The rumors circulating in the capital, because of the lack of the driving force behind it, coupled with Mu Yuyan's timely suppression, quickly dissipated without a trace, and did not stir up any waves.
Of course.
Regarding the deeds of Gu Lan publicized by the imperial court, the rebellious effect in the hearts of the people played a role, and they always thought that it was whitewashing, and many people were skeptical.
......
Soon it was the day of the Spring Festival, Gu Lan yawned, woke up from the warm fragrant nephrite, looked at the lady who was still sleeping beside him, and couldn't help but show a doting smile.
Since she became pregnant, the lady seems to be getting more and more sleepy.
However, this is not a bad thing, the more sleepy you are during pregnancy, the better it is for the baby's growth and development.
"Lady, get up, today is the Spring Festival." Mu Yuyan muttered for a while, but finally couldn't resist Gu Lan's teasing, and opened his eyes with some shame.
"Can't you let me sleep a little longer!"
Only in front of Gu Lan, Mu Yuyan will show this kind of coquettish posture, in the eyes of outsiders, she is the domineering empress.
"Who said last night that you were going to have a banquet for hundreds of officials today? Don't wait for the hundred officials to come, Your Majesty is still lying on the bed. ”
Gu Lan showed a hint of banter, seeing Mu Yuyan's face blushing, he couldn't help glaring at him.
"Hmph, then you don't want to wait for me to change my clothes!"
"Obey."
The smile on Gu Lan's face was even thicker, and he bowed his head and waited for him.
"Eh, wait... Later, the ministers will have a banquet, don't tear my dragon robe this time......"
……
The Spring Festival is like this once a year.
The emperors of the past dynasties still attached great importance to this kind of festival, so the empress had to issue a holy decree early, and this year's Spring Festival was happy with hundreds of officials and celebrated the festival in the palace.
After receiving this news, Baiguan naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and soon came to the palace just like the early dynasty.
But it doesn't have to be so early, after all, the feast is at noon and evening.
When the officials arrived in the palace, they were all old acquaintances, and they all greeted each other for a while, and time passed quickly.
Gu Lan didn't tease Mu Yuyan for too long, for fear that she would be annoyed and angry, and soon Mu Yuyan was wearing a royal robe, and her bright face with the fragrance of the country and the fragrance appeared in the magnificent golden palace.
And Gu Lan is dressed in a white python robe, symbolizing his status as a first-class prince... And, of course, last night's bedtime.
"Ladies and gentlemen, take a seat." Mu Yuyanyong has a luxurious posture, and the majesty of the emperor arises spontaneously, and there is no room for slackness.
Gu Lan watched behind her, with a hint of infatuation in her eyes, she is worthy of being my lady, she is domineering!
He followed Mu Yuyan and sat on the dragon chair.
All the officials showed envy, and in the eyes of most of the young officials, they couldn't help but be jealous and envious!
The move of the two of them is a bright card!
In the eyes of the younger generation of Dajing, Her Majesty the Empress regards her as the lover of her dreams, but she just sits on Gu Lan, how can these young officials not be jealous?
Mu Yuyan showed a smug look, I don't know who is spreading rumors behind the scenes, saying that Gu Lan is bewitching the king, then she simply doesn't pretend, and has a direct showdown, she just spoils Gu Lan, what's wrong?
Is it wrong to be a lady and be lucky? Of course not!
What, say I'm fainting?
Pull it out and cut it!
The empress snuggled in King Jingyang's arms and hummed comfortably, but this expression was only clear to Gu Lan, who was close at hand.
Even if many officials can't see it, they know what kind of character their majesty treats them, and it's okay to be envious and jealous, but absolutely no one dares to stand up and talk about it without opening their eyes!
Taifu Suhua, Sima Xiangguo and the others glanced at each other, revealing a clear look.
It seems that His Majesty wants to take advantage of this Spring Festival banquet to directly make an official announcement!
...
The banquet began soon, and the exquisite dishes and wines were presented in the hands of the palace maids, and Mu Yuyan, as the empress, directly announced the opening of the banquet after speaking a few words.
For a while, the guests and hosts were happy, Gu Lan basically did not participate in the court meeting, he had only read it in the novels of his previous life, and now that he was there, he felt quite novel.
His eyes looked everywhere, and suddenly he saw a middle-aged beautiful woman, who looked equally graceful and luxurious, which caught his attention.
Of course, it was not because he noticed the beauty of this beautiful woman, but because when he looked at this beautiful woman, he noticed the vagueness that flashed in the eyes of the beautiful woman.
"It's ...... Toffee? ”
Gu Lan thought slightly in his heart, and after seeing the clothes on her body, he quickly figured out the identity of the beautiful woman.
He recalled that he had read the content of the original book in his previous life, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
If you want to use one sentence to describe the concubine, it is better to be a prostitute than a queen!
It is not clear to the previous generation of Emperors, and I heard that she is a Blazing Yang person, and it seems that she has something to do with the Blazing Sun Emperor of the previous generation in the original book......
But.
Gu Lan, who had read the original book, knew that although the concubine was beautiful, she was actually an ordinary person who had not cultivated and had no combat effectiveness, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Although Luo Chen, the leader of the forbidden army who was taken down before, seemed to have something to do with the concubine, he didn't care.
In his eyes, these two people are no different from the clowns who jump off the beam, if they don't provoke themselves, it's just that, if they really provoke it, it's a matter to solve casually!
For the empress, it is also a matter of a sword!
There is no threat at all!
Gu Lan thought in her mind, but her eyes did not change in the slightest, a trace of anger flashed on the concubine's face, she could feel that Gu Lan was staring at herself!
As the new favorite of the empress, a generation of princes, but staring at her nominal elder all the time, how can she stand it?
Although the concubine has been dressed as an emperor for two generations, she can't accept Gu Lan's such a straightforward gaze, of course she doesn't know that Gu Lan has actually been out of the world for a long time.
Suddenly, the concubine glared back, and feeling the change in her gaze, Gu Lan also came back to his senses and glanced at the concubine lightly.
The concubine suddenly felt a palpitation!
An extremely uncomfortable feeling emerges!
Although Gu Lan's gaze was calm, she could faintly detect the squint under that gaze.
"This little white face doesn't seem to be useless as Luo Chen said, could it be that his talent is very extraordinary, and he is a young genius cultivator?"
The concubine can maneuver between two generations of emperors, although she has not cultivated, but her ability to see people is superb.
Unlike Luo Chen's rat eyes, she could see at a glance that Gu Lan was by no means an ordinary person.
Just looking at each other for a moment, she felt her hairs stand on end, as if she was being targeted by some terrifying existence......
That feeling was extremely uncomfortable, but I wanted the concubine to get rid of Gu Lan faster.
She lowered her head and stopped looking at each other, hiding the chill and murderous intent in her heart.
Thinking of Luo Chen's plan to tell her about the Spring Festival, the concubine settled down a little in her heart.
The corners of Gu Lan's mouth also outlined a smile, his divine sense was extremely powerful, and he clearly detected the flash of killing intent on the concubine's body.
Although he is not afraid, a person with murderous intent against him will not be indifferent if he is detected...
"The ...... of the Princess"
Gu Lan's fingertips tapped lightly, and no one heard it.
