It would be a good match for the princess to marry a young and promising general.
But in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to give Wu Yong real power, otherwise one of them will make money and the other will control the army, and sooner or later the capital will be in chaos.
For a moment, the scene became quiet.
After a moment, Chu Yue reacted and quickly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, He Yue's fiancé is not General Wu."
At the same time, Wu Yong also clasped his fists.
"Your Majesty, please take back your order. I and Princess Heyue only have a brother-sister relationship, and there is no relationship between a man and a woman."
Seeing the reactions of the two people, Gu Jinghe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"So, I have misunderstood you."
Lu Xinghe, who was standing far away, clenched his fists. Because of Gu Jingning's presence, in order not to attract his attention, he did not want to make their relationship public at this juncture.
At this moment, Prince Su Gu Jinghuan came in from outside Haitang Garden, clasped his fists towards Gu Jinghe and said, "Brother, the banquet is ready, can we start it?"
"open it."
"Yes." Gu Jinghuan made a gesture of invitation, "Brother, please come this way."
Next, because of Gu Jinghe's presence, everyone became a little more restrained.
However, at today's banquet, a strange phenomenon occurred. Miss Yuan Xueer of the Yuan Mansion, who had always been on good terms with each other, actually couldn't see eye to eye with Princess Nanying.
Every time they met, the tense atmosphere between the two made many people sweat.
Chu Yue did not pay attention to the two of them, but while eating the food on the table, her eyes occasionally glanced at Lu Xinghe, who was sitting opposite and slightly behind.
It happened that every time she looked over, Lu Xinghe was looking at her.
Looking at the faint smile on his lips, Chu Yue pursed her lips slightly.
This action was extremely subtle. There were many people present, so no one else saw it, but Wu Yong saw the interaction between the two.
He didn't say anything, just poured wine into his mouth.
Liao Meng kept a low profile. Although he had been appointed as the second-grade military commander, he was sitting in the corner.
It's just that he is so tall that even if he is sitting in a corner, it is difficult for others to ignore his presence.
He raised his glass to Chu Yue, and Chu Yue also raised his glass and smiled in return.
Lu Xinghe's attention was always on Chu Yue, so he naturally noticed the interaction between her and Liao Meng.
His brows were furrowed, and he had an air of keeping strangers away from him. Yuan Xueer, who was about to toast him, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Brother Xinghe, what's wrong with you?" she asked softly.
Lu Xinghe looked straight ahead. Although he was not willing to talk to her, he still responded in a tone without any emotion, "Nothing."
Princess Nanying, who was sitting nearby, kept her attention on Yuan Xueer. When she saw her talking to Lu Xinghe, she couldn't help but sneer coldly.
"Miss Yuan, you are really thick-skinned. I heard that Mr. Lu is engaged, and seeing how worthless you look, I am ashamed for you."
Yuan Xueer rolled her eyes and also lowered her voice to reply.
"Some people should not think that they are worth too much. Aren't you still pestering Concubine Shu to ask Your Majesty to grant you a marriage? Let me tell you, don't laugh at the second brother."
Her father was the prime minister of the dynasty, with a very high status and prestige in the dynasty. He had many famous disciples all over the Nanyuan Kingdom. She had always been arrogant and domineering, so she had nothing to fear.
Even if the other party is the princess of Nanyuan.
After all, Concubine Shu's mother-in-law's family was far less powerful than their Yuan family.
"You!" Princess Nanying was furious, "After all, I am also a serious princess of Nanyuan Kingdom. I have a noble status and bloodline. Who are you? How dare you go against me!"
"So what about the princess? So what about your noble status and bloodline?" Yuan Xueer smiled, "In terms of contribution to Nanyuan Kingdom, you are not as good as Princess Heyue who was born in a peasant family. You are only worth a little money because of your status and bloodline. .”
Princess Nanying was very angry when she heard this.
But since the emperor and empress were both present, she could only try to hold her chest to calm down her anger.
"Yuan Xue'er, you have always been sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. Today, my father is here and I will not argue with you. We will have a long time ahead."
Yuan Xueer didn't care.
"My lady is here for you at any time."
…
Next, many acquaintances toasted to Chu Yue. Out of politeness, Chu Yue responded one by one while holding the wine glass.
But she didn't dare to drink too much, and would usually just take a small sip and then give up.
When it was Gu Jingning's turn, he drank all the wine in the cup first and turned the cup upside down to signal that he had finished the wine.
The prince toasted her and she drank it all, so naturally Chu Yue couldn't deal with it anymore.
After drinking a glass of wine, it burned from my throat to my stomach.
She hurriedly ate a few sips of fruit with plenty of water before she felt better in her stomach, but she didn't dare to drink more.
Ningdong on the side understood this and quickly replaced the wine on Chu Yue's table with tea.
Gu Jingning looked in Chu Yue's direction with a dangerous light in her eyes.
Chu Yue did not dare to look in his direction again. If the previous disaster relief in Nanping Town was really related to him, she would have ruined his plan.
According to King Jing's desire to retaliate, I'm afraid he won't be able to reap the rewards.
…
After the banquet was over, Gu Jinghe and Qin Feilan, as the monarchs and masters of the middle palace, naturally could not stay in Prince Su's palace for a long time, so they said goodbye to Gu Jinghuan and left.
Chu Yue also quickly found an excuse to leave with the two of them.
Gu Jinghe learned from Li Dezheng that Chu Yue was following, so she and Qin Feilan slowed down.
He glanced in the direction of Qin Feilan, with a smile on his face that made it difficult to see his true emotions at this time.
"Queen, guess what Princess Heyue wants to do after catching up with her?"
Qin Feilan followed him forward calmly.
"Princess Heyue is not only talented in medical skills, she is also very good at business. Moreover, this child never does anything meaningless. If she catches up with her like this openly, I am afraid that she has something good to discuss with your majesty."
"I think so too."
When the two of them arrived at the gate of Prince Su's Mansion, Chu Yue managed to catch up with them.
"Your Majesty, Queen, please stay."
The two looked at each other and stopped.
"Princess Heyue, what's important?"
Heimu had already seen Chu Yue running out, and now he saw that she had arrived at the door, holding two boxes and striding towards her direction.
Chu Yue let out a long breath, took the box from Heimu's hand and passed it in the direction of the two of them.
"These two gifts are specially prepared by He Yue for His Majesty and the Queen. I hope you two won't dislike them."
Li Dezheng looked at the gift box in Chu Yue's hand, then looked in the direction of the two masters beside him, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the gift box from Chu Yue's hand and unfolded it.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Gu Jinghe looked into the box, a slight surprise flashing across his face.
"Is this Liuli?"
Chu Yue shook her head and replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is not colored glaze, but glass. This kind of thing was originally produced in the Western Regions. A few days ago, General Wu brought a small mirror back to He Yue from the Western Regions. He Yue looked at it with joy. , I inquired in many places, and finally prepared the recipe for glass firing in the past two days."
