Midnight looked at the undried ink.
He asked: "Master, do you want to bring this painting with you? Most of the courtiers will present gifts to the concubine at the palace banquet. How about we wait a little longer and the ink will dry soon."
Zhou Gu waved his hand, "No need, I'll take her to see her after the palace banquet is over."
Midnight nodded.
The three of them left the study.
There weren't many people on the road anymore. They must have all gone to the palace banquet in advance.
The three of them were walking halfway when they met several young men running towards the palace banquet. Zhou Gu's sharp eyes saw Cui Yanjin among them at a glance. He immediately said to Ziye: "Go and catch him."
Midnight persuaded in a low voice: "Sir, the palace banquet will be held soon. Wouldn't it be better if you beat Mr. Xiao Cui now? You still have to wait."
Zhou Gu couldn't wait any longer and ordered, "Go and catch him."
Seeing that the young master insisted on venting his anger at this time, Ziye could only agree and go immediately.
He quickly intercepted several teenagers, and then without saying a word, grabbed Cui Yanjin by the collar and picked him up.
Cui Yanjin was startled, "Brother Ziye, why are you arresting me?"
Ziye kindly reminded him of this, "Master Xiao Cui, you have offended my young master, don't you know?"
Cui Yanjin's face changed, and he suddenly shouted, "Cousin! Cousin! Cousin! Save..."
His voice was very loud, as if he was shouting at the top of his lungs. It was deafening, extremely penetrating, and he was not afraid of startling people.
Midnight was shocked by him at first. After reacting, she immediately covered his mouth. She regretted being too soft-hearted to him and immediately carried him to Zhou Gu.
Cui Yanjin's mouth was covered, but he stared wide-eyed at Zhou Gu, who was looking at him with a dark face. His eyes were full of "How good of you, cousin, how dare you cause trouble on my cousin's birthday."
Zhou Gu took out a jade bottle from his arms and waved it in front of Cui Yanjin's eyes. At this moment, he didn't look like a cousin, but like a bad guy who did evil. "Tell me, if I poison you and make you mute, you can still call me Will my cousin come to save you?"
Cui Yanjin stared at him harder, with an expression on his face that said, "I don't believe you dare to poison me. I have my cousin-in-law to protect me."
Zhou Gu sneered and ordered Ziye, "Let him go."
Ziye let go of Cui Yanjin's mouth, but didn't let go.
Zhou Gu poured out a pill and stuffed it directly into Cui Yanjin's mouth, "See if I dare."
Cui Yanjin was given medicine and wanted to vomit it out, but Zhou Gu pulled his chin and choked his throat, so he swallowed it uncontrollably.
"Okay, let him go!" Zhou Gu ordered.
Midnight let go of Cui Yanjin.
Cui Yanjin couldn't spit it out, so he asked Zhou Gu loudly, but his words were mute and no sound came out. This medicine took effect very quickly.
Cui Yanjin was shocked. He hugged Zhou Gu and pulled him to prevent him from leaving. He continued to accuse him loudly without making a sound, "Cousin, are you a human? Are you blaming me for giving my cousin her favorite gift?" ? How can you blame me? If your etiquette is not better than mine, then you are useless. Why are you bullying me? "
He fluttered his claws, but Zhou Gu only glanced at him and shook him off, "Don't think I don't know that you went to my grandfather to file a complaint against me. Since your mouth is disobedient, there is no need to speak."
Cui Yanjin felt guilty for a moment but still said with a stiff neck, "It's not my fault. Who made you have such a bad temper? Look at you now. Instead of reflecting on yourself, you blame me for giving too good a gift. It doesn't make sense." ."
Zhou Gu sneered, "So what if I don't make sense? If you offend me, you have to endure it."
Cui Yanjin was immediately furious.
Zhou Gu ignored him and continued walking forward.
Cui Yanjin stood there, staring, stamping his feet, feeling very angry.
Several of Cui's teenagers who were playing with him didn't dare to come forward. It wasn't until Zhou Gu left that they all gathered around Cui Yanjin.
You speak carefully to each other, "Little cousin, why did you offend your cousin?"
"Yeah? Why did you offend your cousin?"
"I have never seen my cousin's face so dark."
"What did he feed you?"
"..."
Cui Yanjin was speechless, so naturally he couldn't answer them. No matter what he said, he could only read the shape of his mouth and could not make any sound.
He simply stopped talking, waved his hands to a few people, and walked towards the palace banquet with his face bulging out like a bun with anger.
When Zhou Gu arrived at the palace banquet, almost everyone was there. King Nan Chu and Su Rong were already sitting there. The King of Southern Chu is not like other emperors, who only come late when everyone has arrived. Now that he has a daughter, everything is ready, so he came early.
The seat next to Su Rong had been reserved for a long time. When a waiter saw Zhou Gu coming, he quickly asked the concubine to take a seat.
Zhou Gu had already put away his sullen expression and walked to Su Rong and sat down. Su Rong turned to him and asked, "Have you been testing Chu Duan for so long?"
"No, there are other things." Zhou Gu said.
"Why do you look so lethargic?" Su Rong asked.
After Zhou Gu finished painting a painting, he felt as if his whole body had been hollowed out. Even though he tried to hold it back as much as possible, Su Rong still saw it keenly. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Cui Yanjin is so angry."
Su Rong was funny, "Why is he angry with you again?"
Zhou Gu took a look at the fan in her hand. She still fanned it, which showed how much she liked it. The gold bracelet on her wrist was indeed beautiful. His painting took an hour and a half to draw, but she couldn't take it with her.
Zhou Gu stared at these two things without saying anything.
Su Rong suddenly realized, "You wouldn't give me these two things because of him, would you?"
Zhou Gu snorted, "Broken stuff."
"Oh, this is not broken. This is the fourth aunt's collection. It ranks among the top ten in Jianghu's weapons list. I don't know much about Jianghu. If Fengling hadn't seen it and told me, I wouldn't have known about it. It's too precious." Su Rong smiled and handed the fan to him, "Look carefully to see if you know the product."
Zhou Gu reached out to pick it up.
Su Rong thought of something and immediately took it back, "I won't show it to you. I'm afraid you'll be too stingy and I'll confiscate it."
Zhou Gu became even more angry, "Am I that kind of person?"
"Who are you."
Zhou Gu didn't hold back and his face turned dark.
Su Rong came closer to him and said, "Don't be so shameless. Today is my birthday. Don't be angry with me. I don't want to be scolded by Uncle Xie on my birthday."
Zhou Gu gritted his teeth, "If you don't want to be scolded by Uncle Xie, just put this piece of shit away and don't let me look at it."
Su Rong indulged him, "Okay, okay, just put it away."
She simply stuffed it into her sleeves.
Zhou Gu was still unhappy, "Do you like it that much?"
"Yes, who loves martial arts, who wouldn't like these two things?" Su Rong looked at him, "If I give it to you, you will also like it."
"The fan is okay, but the bracelet is too girly." Zhou Gu said.
Su Rong wanted to laugh, "My little cousin only gave it to me and not to you. On the day of your second birthday, my little cousin found out. I remember, he just took something and gave it to you, right? Give me this There are two, but I chose them with all my heart.”
Darlings, there will be an update today and tomorrow.
