Chapter 105: The Little New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, Lord Gu's Plan

Before the palace found Shen Zhuo, the New Year's Eve arrived.

The palace banquet on New Year's Eve is a custom passed down from generation to generation.

After the palace banquet, court officials began to take a holiday and did not return to court until the tenth day.

Therefore, the Little New Year's Eve is the most important festival for the emperor and his court officials in the imperial city of Dayan.

A year's hard work ends on this day, and all official duties are completed today.

More importantly, rewards will be given today to those officials who have made contributions this year.

Not only court officials could not be absent, but even the emperor could not be absent. The emperor could be absent from any festival, but ancestor worship and the Little New Year's Eve were the only two festivals that he could not be absent from.

Even if Prince Xiang and his wife no longer have the heart to attend the New Year's Eve palace banquet, they must adjust their state of mind and complete this process.

Not only the Prince Xiang's Mansion, but also the Marquis' Mansion.

However, the person who went to the Marquis' Mansion was not Marquis Gu Yuan, but the white-haired old Marquis Gu.

That wasn’t what Gu Jue thought.

Originally, Gu Jue planned to let Gu Yuanhou go, and she would go with him and would not let Gu Qi do anything abnormal.

But unexpectedly, news came from Lord Gu’s courtyard early in the morning.

"He suddenly said he wanted to see me today. What is he planning?" Gu Jue walked into the courtyard of Old Marquis Gu with a playful look.

There was no old lady Gu, only old Marquis Gu. When he saw Gu Jue, there was a gleam in his eyes.

Today, Gu Jue is still wearing men's clothes.

He had just come down from the martial arts training ground, and with his breath still fresh on his body, he walked into the courtyard of Lord Gu with a satisfied look on his face.

After entering the yard, Gu Jue was invited to the study by the old Marquis Gu.

Looking at the chessboard in front of her, Gu Jue raised her eyebrows slightly, and Old Marquis Gu just smiled at her. Okay, she is in a good mood now, so she can play a game of chess with him.

Sitting on the couch, the two began to fight back and forth.

Gu Jue picked up the cup beside him and took a sip. Hmm, Biluochun, not bad.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Old Marquis Gu smiled and said, "Can't I just ask you to play chess? Grandpa is old and needs his grandson's company."

Hearing this, Gu Jue sneered, without giving any face, and spoke directly and ruthlessly.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't say it now, you won't have to say it later."

Old Marquis Gu tapped the chessboard with his fingers, "I have a poor patience."

Gu Jue was speechless. He didn't really think I was willing to play chess with him, did he? Did she look easy to talk to? Did she look like someone who would easily be soft-hearted?

“I have always had a bad temper.”

This was an ultimatum, and Lord Gu understood it.

Looking at the situation where he was lagging behind on the chessboard, Old Lord Gu commented in his mind: He has a poor patience, only attacks and does not defend, and it is easy to lose the whole game.

However, Lord Gu smiled with satisfaction: his overall view was acceptable. Although he only attacked and did not defend, his offensive was strong enough and his speed was fast enough, and he could keep up with the follow-up. In the end, he could only retreat step by step.

After Gu Jue made his last move, his eyes were full of playfulness, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Old man, you lose."

Looking at the person in front of him, Gu Jue, whose expression and tone were so angry, Old Marquis Gu laughed out of anger.

Very impatient, mean, cold-blooded... After Old Marquis Gu cursed Gu Jue in his heart, he felt a little relieved.

Gu Jue was even more relaxed. After playing chess, he watched the old Marquis Gu's expression change several times, and he enjoyed the show contentedly while drinking tea.

After Old Lord Gu felt better, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before standing up and getting something from the side.

Gu Jue didn't pay attention to the actions of Old Marquis Gu, but looked at the chessboard. What he thought in his heart was: I can't play like this next time. I will try to trick him next time. I thought there was hope, but I was met with despair step by step. My expression must be better at that time.

While he was still happily thinking about how to play chess next time, something was handed to him. Gu Jue looked at the cloth in front of him and it was obviously a piece of clothing.

Gu Jue didn't say anything or ask anything, but looked at Old Marquis Gu and drank his tea slowly.

Old Lord Gu did not intend that Gu Jue would take it, and just put the clothes next to Gu Jue.

Sitting opposite, watching Gu Jue drinking tea slowly, he spoke seriously, "This dress was personally awarded to me by His Majesty after I made great contributions on the battlefield. It was also on that day that I took over the position of Marquis Gu Yuan."

Seeing that Gu Jue didn't react at all, Old Lord Gu didn't get angry.

"A few days ago, your grandmother specially altered this dress. I hope you can wear it to the palace banquet today."

Hearing this, Gu Jue smiled. He did not agree directly, nor did he refuse. Instead, he said something meaningful.

"Your son is not like you."

In one sentence, Lord Gu understood instantly. Gu Jue understood what he meant, so he asked him how to deal with Gu Qi.

Gu Jue wasn't actually asking him, she was just simply sighing.

She did understand what old Marquis Gu said, but she would never inherit the title of Marquis, and she could not inherit it.

Not to mention the Marquis' Mansion, just talking about the emperor, even if the emperor really agrees, he will change his mind after repeated consideration because of the court officials.

The censors will definitely not agree. Those censors are die-hards. Not only the censors, but also the officials in the court will not agree, and the people of the world will not agree either.

Rules that have been passed down for thousands of years and deeply rooted ideas will not be easily changed.

"Gu Qi's health has not improved yet. To avoid being disrespectful in front of the palace, I will attend in Gu Qi's place. Your Majesty will not blame me."

Looking at the serious face of Old Marquis Gu, Gu Jue clicked her tongue. She really didn't expect that the old man could do this.

It seems that he has given up on Gu Qi.

As expected, there is no family affection in the Marquis' Mansion. For the sake of the Marquis' Mansion, the old man could actually abandon the three sons he had carefully raised and instead support her, his granddaughter who had changed her ways.

However, she didn't really want to refuse. She actually wanted to see the censors trying their best to criticize him.

As for the position of Marquis, sorry, she is not interested.

"Okay." Gu Jue couldn't be casual.

Hearing Gu Jue's casual tone, Old Lord Gu thought he had heard it wrong.

"Please prepare your own clothes. You will need everything. I will have someone notify you when the time comes." After saying that, Gu Jue stood up, patted his clothes, and prepared to leave.

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Lord Gu did not have time to be surprised and quickly reminded, "Clothes."

It was as if he was afraid that Gu Jue would forget or not take it.

Gu Jue picked up his clothes casually, turned around and walked out of the room.

She actually already knew the real purpose of old man Gu. Most likely, it was not to ask the emperor to allow her to inherit the title of Marquis, but...
