Zhong Ren's attitude when he spoke could be described as extremely indifferent towards them, but he was extremely respectful towards Gu Lan!
This kind of respect comes from the heart. Only those who completely surrender to him can be respectful to him.
As for one of the words, of course he is right. Although there are not many heroes in the world, there are several people in the small courtyard of Gu Mansion who can match his talent as the young pavilion master!
Zhong Ren continued to sit down at a table below Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan, and continued to eat and drink as if no one was around.
For a while.
Everyone's eyes were not only looking at Zhongren, but also at Gu Lan.
Shock, suspicion, awe...
It's just that the latter still looked calm and indifferent, as if he didn't pay attention to anything.
He just enjoyed Mu Yuyan feeding him wine and picking up vegetables, ignoring everyone's looking at him.
The concubine also noticed Zhong Ren. The aura of this young man was so strong that it would have been impossible to cultivate him without the power of a big family. She also vaguely guessed that it might be true that the ministers had suggested that Zhongren was a disciple of Tianji Pavilion.
But for some reason, he himself didn't admit it.
Even so, the concubine still gave Zhong Ren a high look and raised his attention.
Gu Lan, who was called her eldest brother by Zhong Ren, was naturally also valued by her. Although the concubine originally valued Gu Lan, she used to think that Gu Lan was just a pretty boy, but now she doesn't dare to think so. Got it!
Is it easy to gain the following of young people like this?
She looked at Gu Lan in confusion, becoming unsure of Gu Lan's cultivation level. Logically speaking, Gu Lan should have no cultivation level, but now it seems that such a talented young man is willing to call Gu Lan his eldest brother. If Gu Lan was really just a pretty boy, it would be impossible.
"Perhaps all of us have overlooked the husband that little girl Mu Yuyan has found. I'm afraid this Gu Lan is more than just a pretty boy..." The concubine's thoughts were spinning, but on the surface she didn't seem to care at all. Revealed.
Her status is quite high in the harem. Even Mu Yuyan has to show respect to her elders when he sees her. Therefore, she secretly looked at Gu Lan and Zhongren on the court. Mu Yuyan noticed it but only slightly. I'm unhappy, but I won't do anything because of it.
"What is this old woman looking at my husband-in-law?"
"Do you still have that kind of thoughts about your husband?"
Mu Yuyan felt alert.
Although the concubine is no longer young, her charm is still there. Coupled with her status, she is still very attractive to men. No matter how confident the empress is in her charm, she will inevitably have more temptations when it comes to the husband she cares about most. Think of something...
At the banquet.
Both Gu Lan and Zhong Ren were in the limelight, especially Zhong Ren. I don’t know how many people took notice of him, and it was impossible to despise him.
The same goes for Gu Lan. Not only is he valued by His Majesty, but he is also talented in poetry. In addition, Zhong Ren also calls him eldest brother. All these things combined make it impossible for people to ignore Gu Lan!
certainly.
At this point, knowing that the entire Dajing world belongs to his wife, Gu Lan no longer needs to be coddled by ordinary people.
...
The banquet ended quickly and the officials dispersed. However, after the concubine returned to the harem, she secretly summoned Luo Chen.
"The Concubine!" After Luo Chen arrived, although there was a close relationship between the two of them, he still kept the Concubine's instructions in mind and would not reveal their relationship on the surface, so as not to give someone a thumbs up.
The concubine nodded: "At today's banquet, what do you think of Gu Lan?"
Although Luo Chen was dismissed from his original official position, he was still qualified to participate in the banquet. However, he could only sit at the bottom of the banquet and had no chance to express himself in front of His Majesty, so he did not seem to have a high sense of presence.
even so.
Luo Chen also discovered the performance of Gu Lan and Zhong Ren, and was even shocked for a time. He did not expect that Gu Lan could write such excellent poems, which shocked him greatly.
Hearing the concubine's question, Luo Chen frowned and replied, "Although Gu Lan is a bit of a poet, he is just a pretty boy in the end and not worth mentioning."
The concubine looked at him with a hint of sneer: "Do you really think so? If he is just a pretty boy with a little talent for poetry, then why does that young man consider him his eldest brother?"
"Do you think such a powerful genius would casually recognize a pretty boy as his elder brother? This Gu Lan must have a side that we don't know about, otherwise he wouldn't be able to convince that Zhong Ren."
"Is this Gu Lan's little brother really that powerful?"
Luo Chen was far away during the day and didn't see clearly. He frowned and asked.
He prides himself as one of the few rivals among the younger generation, but no one has ever valued him as much as they do Zhongren now.
This made Luo Chen a bit shocked, and naturally he felt unhappy with Zhong Ren.
He felt that the latter was probably just lucky enough to have such an opportunity to express himself in front of His Majesty and all the officials.
If it were him, he would also be able to show superb martial arts in front of hundreds of officials and win His Majesty's favor... Of course, it is impossible to have such an opportunity now, all because of that damn Jingyang king!
"Hmph! You should put away your petty thoughts. This Zhongren is by no means simple. I am sure that this Zhongren should be related to Tianji Pavilion."
There was a gloomy look on the concubine's face.
"A disciple of Tianji Pavilion? How is it possible? If he is a disciple of Tianji Pavilion, how could he recognize this pretty boy Gu Lan as his elder brother?"
Luo Chen said in disbelief.
The concubine then continued: "That's why I said that this pretty boy is definitely not simple. I think your previous plan may need to be changed. Don't come forward when the time comes. Let Wu Fan test the depth of this Gu Lan first. "
Luo Chen nodded, still a little disapproving in his heart. It was true that the impression Gu Lan left on him for the first time was too bad. He simply didn't believe that he could become the eldest brother of a disciple of Tianji Pavilion... Even if he was, He must be a low-level guy, he used a few tricks to embroider his legs.
However, he did not dare to disobey the concubine's order, and nodded quickly and said: "Okay, I won't take action in the spring. Anyway, I have General Wu Fan's private army, and let him be the pathfinder. I shouldn't be able to deal with this pretty boy Gu Lan." what is the problem."
"Although Zhong Ren next to him is powerful, he is too young after all. Under the siege of so many armies, even Zhong Ren cannot get a good deal. If he does not understand current affairs by then, even if he is a disciple of Tianji Pavilion, The worst that can happen is that he will be killed and silenced, his body destroyed and no trace left. No one knows how he died."
"Yes." The concubine also nodded: "No matter what, you must remember not to act rashly. You must let Wu Fan take the lead and don't expose yourself, otherwise you will be completely defeated and never be able to turn around again."
"Anyway, Wu Fan has been confiscated by His Majesty. He is already a rootless man. If we hadn't taken him in, he would have been a lost dog long ago and would be in constant fear all day long."
"yes!"
Luo Chen nodded in agreement, with a hint of sternness in his eyes, and then slowly left.
After going back.
As expected, Luo Chen didn't mention today's events to Wu Fan. After all, Wu Fan had already fallen out of power. As long as he didn't tell Wu Fan, it would be difficult for the latter to have access to the latest happenings in the palace. It would not be easy to control... ..
