Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

This voice was slightly familiar to Gu Yanshu, as if he had heard it before, but it was more unfamiliar.

Turning his head subconsciously, he saw a person standing aside, slightly saluting him.

It is not difficult to see from the clothing on this person that this should be a fourth-rank civil servant in the court.

Four products.

It doesn't sound like much.

After all, in Beijing, there is never a shortage of first- and second-rank officials.

Even for today's palace banquet, the fifth rank is qualified to enter.

But if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that the fourth-rank civil servant standing in front of several people at this time is not very old.

At most, it will not exceed Erli.

However, at this age, most people may pass the examination and enter the officialdom, but the person in front of him has already sat at the fourth rank.

It is enough to see his outstanding degree and talent.

Just when Gu Yanshu was sizing up the person in front of him, Qin Lu slightly raised his hand:

"Lord Wen, no courtesy."

temperature?

Hearing this surname, Gu Yanshu subconsciously thought of Wen Qingxiao.

At this time, Gu Yanshu finally saw clearly the face of Mr. Wen, who was personable and handsome.

The most important thing is that the eyebrows are indeed three or four points similar to Wen Qingxiao's, and even the demeanor on his body also faintly reveals the smell of being out of the world on Wen Qingxiao's body.

Then, Gu Yanshu finally understood why he felt this person's voice was familiar just now.

Wen Qingxiao's voice is also ethereal with a hint of desertedness.

With a guess in mind, Gu Yanshu simply asked directly:

"This Mr. Wen belongs to Mr. Sixth Wen..."

"Master Wen is the elder brother of the Sixth Young Master Wen, with a very different name, and he is currently serving in the Imperial Academy."

Gu Yanshu made friends with Wen Qingxiao, and handed over the affairs of the newspaper to Wen Qingxiao, so Qin Lu naturally investigated the Wen family.

While Qin Lu was answering Gu Yanshu, Wen Qingshu also slightly bowed to Gu Yanshu:

"Your Majesty, Wen Qingshu, has met His Royal Highness Princess Li."

Seeing Wen Qingshu's actions, Gu Yanshu understood that he was probably looking for him:

"Master Wen is not polite, I don't know what's the matter with Mr. Wen?"

"Your Majesty came here to thank His Highness specifically for Qing Xiao's affairs. He should have come to thank him, but his father told Qing Xiao that His Highness was busy with business, and it was not good to interrupt rashly. It happened that I saw His Highness today, and I was rude. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Wen Qingshu smiled slightly and directly explained his intention.

Gu Yanshu and Wen

The only intersection of family is with Wen Qingxiao.

When he heard that Wen Qingshu was Wen Qingxiao's elder brother, Gu Yanshu already had a guess in his mind.

But when he actually heard it from Wen Qingshu, Gu Yanshu was still a little surprised:

After all, for Wen Qingxiao's matter, Mr. Wen had already thanked him face to face, and even saluted him.

Now that Wen Qingshu thanked him so solemnly, it seemed that Wen Qingxiao was extremely favored in the Wen family.

At this time, Gu Yanshu heard Wen Qingshu's voice again:

"The other brothers in Xiaguan's family also want to thank His Highness in person, but they are afraid of offending His Highness. I wonder if His Highness can agree?"

While speaking, Wen Qingshu looked behind him.

Following Wen Qingshu's gaze, Gu Yanshu saw four men with similar styles but each with his own merits not far away looking at him.

From the more or less similar appearances of the four people, Gu Yanshu knew the identities of these people almost without thinking:

It has always been the other sons of the Wen family, Wen Qingxiao's elder brother.

From the clothes worn by the other sons of the Wen family at this time, it is not difficult to see that the sons of the Wen family are probably not ordinary people.

Even the one who looks the youngest among them is not wearing clothes that ordinary aristocratic families can wear.

Although Gu Yanshu is good at dancing and has no flaws in his conduct, but seriously, he doesn't like socializing very much.

In a situation like the present, in the past, Gu Yanshu would have refused without even thinking about it.

But when he touched the eyes of the young masters of the Wen family, Gu Yanshu couldn't help but think of the eldest brother of the Gu family. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly and agreed to Wen Qingshu's request.

The moment Gu Yanshu nodded his head, there was a hint of joy visible to the naked eye on the faces of the young masters of the Wen family.

Even Wen Qingshu didn't need to speak, several people had already walked up and thanked Gu Yanshu together.

Gu Yanshu thought that the things he had done could not afford the Wen family's gratitude.

But soon, Gu Yanshu understood from the words of the young masters of the Wen family how excited they were.

Wen Qingxiao is Mr. Wen's old son, correspondingly, the age gap with the other five sons of the Wen family is slightly larger than that of ordinary brothers.

Even the five young masters of the Wen family, who are the closest in age to Wen Qingxiao, are nearly six years older than Wen Qingxiao.

When Wen Qingxiao was born, all the juniors in the Wen family had reached the age of enlightenment.

It can be said that Wen Qingxiao is owned by the Wen family.

People watched and grew up together.

Wen Qingxiao was extremely intelligent when she was young. Not only did she walk and talk earlier than ordinary people, she even learned things much faster than others.

That's why Wen Qingxiao has been extremely sensible since he was a child.

Just ask, who wouldn’t like the well-educated, sensible and good-looking cub milk dumpling?

Naturally, the young masters of the Wen family were not exempt.

When Wen Qingxiao was young, the five of them argued endlessly over who the sixth younger brother slept with at night.

In the end, it was the elders in the family who couldn't see it anymore, and decided to let Wen Qingxiao take turns to rest in the rooms of several brothers, and only then did the brother-in-law incident that almost made outsiders laugh at him calm down.

From this incident alone, it is enough to show how much the young masters of the Wen family love Wen Qingxiao.

When Wen Qingxiao had an accident, the elder brothers also couldn't accept it, and they were even more painful than Wen Qingxiao at one point.

In the end, it was because of Wen Qingxiao's persuasion that he walked out slowly.

When Wen Qingxiao's engagement was divorced, if it wasn't for the fact that there were still people in Wen's residence who were still sane and stopped them, there would be no question of whether Wen Qingxiao's ex-fiancee could walk out of the Wen family's gate after the divorce.

Later, Wen Qingxiao became depressed because of this, and the brothers of the Wen family also saw it and felt anxious.

I don't know how many ways I tried, trying to make Wen Qingxiao let go of his worries, but in the end, nothing came of it.

Later Wen Qingxiao moved out of the Wen residence. Although the elder brothers could not bear it, when they saw the appearance of the younger brother at that time, they could only do as they said.

Although everyone in the Wen family firmly believed in their hearts, according to Wen Qingxiao's character, he would definitely be able to overcome this hurdle in the future.

But after seeing that Wen Qingxiao didn't have the slightest intention of coming out of the small courtyard as time went by, one year or two years passed, everyone was inevitably a little anxious and afraid.

God knows how happy the young masters of the Wen family were when they saw their younger brother returning home with their father a few days ago.

Knowing that Gu Yanshu contributed a lot to this, several people had a great affection for Gu Yanshu.

Later, I learned that Gu Yanshu not only let Wen Qingxiao walk out of the small courtyard, but even let Wen Qingxiao take charge of the newspaper office.

Although the sons of the Wen family were not high-ranking officials in the court, they were able to learn some important things from their father.

For example, in this newspaper office, although the young masters of the Wen family don't know what it is, they also know that the emperor attaches great importance to it.

Take ten thousand steps back, even if the emperor doesn't pay attention to this matter.

Just Wen Qingxiao's eloquent appearance when talking about the newspaper office was enough to move several elder brothers.

after all since

After retiring two years ago, the elder brothers have never seen the younger brother with the light in his eyes like this.

The younger brother who is now in charge of the newspaper seems to have regained his original confidence and vigor.

Seeing the younger brother's expression as when nothing happened three years ago, Wen Qingshu and the others already regarded Gu Yanshu as their benefactor in their hearts.

Knowing the deep feelings between the brothers of the Wen family, Gu Yanshu also roughly understood the mood of Wen Qingshu and others at this time.

I understand it, but there are some things that Gu Yanshu feels needs to be clarified with the brothers of the Wen family.

For example, when he saw Wen Qingxiao, Wen Qingxiao had already walked out of the haze on his own, and his mental state was already very good, but he didn't actually do anything.

Regarding the newspaper office, he and Wen Qingxiao are more mutually beneficial.

Maybe he did help Wen Qingxiao, but Wen Qingxiao also helped him a lot in this matter.

Gu Yanshu didn't know at all that what he said was just telling the truth, but in the eyes of the brothers of the Wen family, it was Gu Yanshu's unwillingness to take credit and seek repayment.

For a while, everyone in the Wen family's favorability towards Gu Yanshu increased several steps.

The Wen family's ability to cultivate a character like Wen Qingxiao is enough to show the background of his family's education.

During the conversation, Gu Yanshu discovered that although the other sons of the Wen family were not as famous as Wen Qingxiao, they were not bad at all in terms of talent and learning.

Although they can't understand each other's thoughts with just a few words like Wen Qingxiao's, but it can also be said that they have a happy conversation.

When Gu Yanshu communicated with Wen Qingshu and others, he immediately relaxed a lot.

However, the scene where Wen Qingshu and others had a happy conversation with Gu Yanshu, in the eyes of others, looked different:

Who doesn't know that Mr. Wen, a Hanlin scholar, has a strict family tradition, and all the young masters are dragons and phoenixes?

Don't look at the fact that the young masters of the Wen family don't have a prominent status in the court, but you must know that the eldest of these young masters is just barely standing this year.

In the year of Lizhi, he had already been worshiped as a fourth-rank official. If he was given a few more years, perhaps the Wen family would be able to occupy a small part of the Tianqi court.

Besides, the sons of the Wen family are so close to Princess Li, are there any instructions from Mr. Wen?

But in just a short time, despite the people in the palace still smiling and smiling, the thoughts in their hearts have already turned many corners.

Of course, the interaction between Gu Yanshu and the members of the Wen family was also noticed by the first prince who was in the palace at this time.

Listening to the ears as if nothing

The sound of discussion, and feel the slightly probing eyes of others from time to time.

The eldest prince's face is getting darker and darker, looking at Gu Yanshu who is chatting happily with everyone in the Wen family in the palace, his eyes are also getting more and more gloomy:

Anyone with eyes can see the potential of the Wen family.

Before that, the First Prince had tried many ways to win him over, but all of them ended in failure.

Originally, the eldest prince thought that although the Wen family was not used by him, it was not used by King Li either, so it's okay if he can't win him over.

How long did it take?

The Wen family actually got involved with Prince Li's mansion quietly?

At this time, the eunuch's singing suddenly came from outside the hall:

"The emperor is here, the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine is here—"

It has to be said that the emperor came at the right time.

Many people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, with the appearance of the eldest prince just now, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is on the verge of eruption.

It is said that when gods fight, mortals suffer.

If the First Prince and His Highness Li Wang really had a conflict, the other people in the palace would inevitably follow suit.

Soon, everyone put away these messy thoughts in their minds, and bowed down to salute the newly arrived emperor and several empresses.

All the ministers in the palace are good at whitewashing the peace. The emperor came in from outside the palace, but he didn't notice anything unusual:

"My dearest friends, it's the New Year's Eve. Today's dearest friends don't have to be cautious, just pretend that I don't exist."

There was a very obvious smile in the tone, and it could be heard that the emperor was in a pretty good mood at this time.

Naturally, it was impossible for everyone to treat him as if he didn't exist as the emperor said, but because of what the emperor said, they relaxed a lot.

After a while, everyone took their seats one by one.

According to the usual practice, the host of this palace banquet, that is, the emperor, first made a scene in his own place.

Gu Yanshu was not very used to hearing those words that were full of words that were full of words.

But I also understood a general idea.

Generally speaking, it is the holidays, everyone can be happy and relaxed.

In the past year, Tianqi did not have any major incidents. Even if there were occasional disturbances, they were resolved with the concerted efforts of all the lords.

The ministers have worked hard this year, and after today's palace banquet is the annual vacation, all ministers can take a good rest after returning today.

In the coming year, I will try my best to serve Tianqi and other scenes.

Ministers heard the words

Naturally, they also quickly answered some things that they should do, and naturally they will do their best to assist the emperor in the next year.

Both parties took the time to make a cup of tea in such a polite way, and the palace banquet entered the whole.

In ancient banquets, the fun programs were probably singing and dancing.

As the emperor announced the start of the palace banquet, musicians and dancers from the band entered slowly.

Although Gu Yanshu also participated in many banquets in later generations, the Gu family also held many banquets.

But it was also the first time for Gu Yanshu to participate in a palace banquet, and Gu Yanshu had never seen a song and dance troupe cultivated in the palace.

It was the first time to "see the world", Gu Yanshu was inevitably a little curious.

I looked up and admired for a moment, and found that these musicians and dancers were indeed cultivated in the palace.

Not to mention their pretty faces, their musical attainments and dancing skills are not bad even for a layman like Gu Yanshu.

Especially those few dancers who are dancing in the hall at this time, they are slender and unique, their waists are not full, and when they raise their hands and feet, they rise up gracefully with their sleeves in their hands, which is full of fairy spirit.

After seeing the leader of the dancer throwing the water sleeve in his hand, it was a difficult movement, and finally twisted into a shape that Gu Yanshu thought was quite incredible, he couldn't help but be surprised that his waist was slender and full of toughness.

At the same time, I secretly sighed in my heart:

Sometimes there are some things, I really can't blame King Zhou!

Gu Yanshu thought that he had already turned into a mosquito coil, and now when he saw this dance, he couldn't help admiring it.

While Gu Yanshu was admiring the dance of the dancer in the palace, he didn't notice at all that the face of the person sitting beside him was getting more and more gloomy.

Seeing that Gu Yanshu's eyeballs were almost attached to the dancing girl, Qin Lu finally couldn't help it, and said softly:

"Princess, is the dancer pretty?"

"It's pretty nice."

Gu Yanshu gave the answer without even thinking about it.

From Gu Yanshu's point of view, the dancing postures of these dancers are indeed very graceful.

If it is placed in later generations, it will even be comparable to those great dancers in the eyes of everyone.

From Gu Yanshu's point of view, these dancers are not inferior to those later generations known as the world's top dancers.

After blurting out the answer in his heart, Gu Yanshu finally realized something was wrong.

Looking back at the questioner, he saw Qin Lu's gloomy and pitch-black face.

Seeing that Gu Yanshu was finally willing to look away, and thinking of the answer he had just received, Qin Lu smiled angrily:

"Quite good looking?"

Qin Lu did not forget Gu Yanshu's reaction when he and Gu Yanshu first met.

Even later, Gu Yanshu admitted frankly that on the day of the wedding, the reason why he insisted on being a real husband and wife with him was also because he liked his face.

Originally, Qin Lu didn't think there was anything wrong.

He even felt that whatever Gu Yanshu liked, he had and didn't lack for it.

But after seeing Gu Yanshu's reaction today, Qin Lu finally realized something was wrong:

Gu Yanshu was able to fall in love with him because of his face at the beginning, will he fall in love with others because they have a better face in the future?

Thinking of this, Qin Lu's already ugly face became even uglier.

How could Gu Yanshu fail to see that Qin Lu was blowing his hair?

Hastily stretched out his hand to smooth the hair of his little deer:

"Not half as good-looking as the prince."

Who knew that the smooth hair, which was very useful in the past, was not easy to use. I saw the deer's hooves pouted and eyes slanting:

"Is it?"

These two simple words can be said to be extremely yin and yang, and Gu Yanshu can smell the sour smell even if he is [-] streets away, let alone sitting beside Qin Lu now.

Who is Gu Yanshu?

If there is no ability, how can it be possible to stand out from the group of outstanding people in the Gu family and obtain the right to be in charge of the Gu family?And how to fight a bloody path among the wolves, tigers and leopards of the last days, and fight for a place for yourself?

It was just a little recollection and thinking for a moment, and then carefully figured out Qin Lu's expression and his question just now, and the office directly found the key to the problem.

Immediately smiled slightly, moved closer to Qin Lu's side, and replied in a low voice:

"Of course it is. The prince is the most beautiful in my heart. Didn't the prince know it when we met him for the first time?"

The little deer, whose whole body was blown up into a big furball, seemed to be comforted and turned into a little furball:

"Didn't the concubine watch it very attentively just now? Did you like it very much?"

Gu Yanshu knew that if he didn't explain this clearly, he might have trouble getting through, so he quickly explained:

"I just appreciate it, just like when the prince sees the glass cup, he thinks it looks good. It's the same if he wants to appreciate it. It's not like he likes it at all. If the prince doesn't like it, I won't watch it anymore."

I have to say that Gu Yanshu's analogy is quite accurate.

At least Qin Lu did understand Gu Yanshu's mood when he saw the dancer just now.

In fact, even if you don't understand, when you see Gu who has always been calm and reserved,

When Yanshu was flustered because of his words, Qin Lu could already feel that the princess cared about him.

His Royal Highness Li Wang is an extremely generous person. Since the princess has realized her mistake and made a promise, he will naturally not hold on to it:

"Well, the king knows."

Gu Yanshu had originally planned to fight for a long time to explain, who knew that this little deer who was poking at him just now was so easy to coax?

It only took a long time, and the hair has been smoothed.

Looking at the fawn who was so fierce to the outside world, but only knew how to be coquettish and roll around with his belly exposed, Gu Yanshu's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but say:

"My lord, is there a sentence that I have never said to you?"

Gu Yanshu's tone at this time was extremely gentle, Qin Lu's ears moved slightly, and he couldn't help asking:

"What?"

"My lord is the prettiest person I've ever seen in this world. Even if others are as good as they are, they're still not as good as my lord."

Gu Yanshu leaned close to Qin Lu's ear and answered softly.

Even Qin Lu didn't expect Gu Yanshu to be so bold, to say such Meng Lang's words to him in public.

Just as he was about to yell, he heard Gu Yanshu's next words:

"What's more, in Yanshu's heart, between the moonlight and the snow, the prince is the third kind of beauty."

"Om-"

As soon as Gu Yanshu said these words, Qin Lu only felt a buzzing in his mind, as if everything around him was far away from him.Only the sentence of Gu Yanshu remained in my mind——

"Between the moonlight and the snow, the prince is the third stunning color."

Qin Lu knew that he should be angry.

The word stunning, no matter how you look at it, lacks masculinity, it should not be used on a man of eight feet tall.

But now, not only could Qin Lu not be angry, his hands were shaking because of Gu Yanshu's words, and he almost couldn't hold his wine glass.

In the end, relying on his muscle memory over the years, he was able to put the wine glass on the table so that his clothes would not be stained because of a momentary mistake at the beginning of the banquet.

After finally being relieved, Qin Lu reprimanded him in a low voice without even thinking about it:

"Wh... what nonsense are you talking about?"

It's just that the lack of confidence and slightly paused tone, as well as the slightly red ears, no matter how you look at it, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that the words are not right.

But Gu Yanshu, who just said the provocative love words, seemed to be unaware:

"My lord knows, I never talk nonsense to my lord

. "

That's right, Gu Yanshu has fooled many people.

Even Gu Yanli was often fooled by Gu Yanshu.

But when Gu Yanshu faced Qin Lu, he always said what was in his mind and said what he said, never mixed with a trace of moisture.

Because Gu Yanshu once said that the most important thing in a husband and wife is honesty, and he does not hope that one day in the future, he and Qin Lu will be separated because of mutual dishonesty.

Qin Lu obviously also thought of Gu Yanshu's words, and the auricles that had been slightly feverish were filled with blood again.

Raising his hand, he directly picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it down, finally calming down a little.

In the blink of an eye, I saw Gu Yanshu's slightly smiling eyes, how could I not know that he did it on purpose?

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and lowered his voice:

"Princess, let's rely on the palace banquet to make waves, and wait until I return to the palace..."

Qin Lu didn't say the following words, but the meaning contained in them was obvious.

Now it was Gu Yanshu's turn to be embarrassed, and quickly begged for mercy in a low voice:

"My lord, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare in the future."

But is it useful?

Tell Gu Yanshu about Qin Lu's current expression.

Obviously useless.

Immediately, Gu Yanshu began to calculate in his mind:

Why don't you pour some more wine into the deer to turn him into a little drunk deer?

This New Year's Eve greeting is no better than the second day of the wedding. If you can't get up tomorrow, you don't know what outsiders will say!

Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu whispered to each other, but they didn't know that their intimate interaction just now was noticed by many people at the banquet.

Some thoughts that everyone had just suppressed because of the palace banquet suddenly began to emerge again.

There were even quite a few people who sneaked a look or two towards the main seat, wanting to see how the emperor would react when he saw such a scene.

Who knew that the emperor's gaze was always on the dancing girl in the palace, and the expression on his face didn't change at all, as if he didn't notice the small movements between King Li and Princess Li at all.
