Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Before Emperor Yu uttered a word, all the ministers knelt down following Zuo Fuhong.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Empress Zou at the side also hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, Your Majesty, since Concubine De has done a great job in praying for blessings, why not give her a Buddhist name and offer her a tablet for longevity?"

But now Emperor Yu’s mind is filled with that lingering smile, so how could he be willing to listen to her?

Defei obviously felt it, and the hand that was holding her tightened slightly, obviously showing some reluctance.

She quickly winked at Gao Han who was not far away.

Gao Han thought for a moment and did not rush to oppose the advice of the ministers. Instead, he humbly said to Emperor Yu: "Your Majesty's pardon of the Gao family is a great favor. I do not want to cause any more trouble because of my sister. As long as my sister can successfully receive the blessing of the auspicious omen, it doesn't matter where she is."

Concubine De understood what he meant, and then said, "I don't want to embarrass Your Majesty, so I would like to borrow the name of Yunsheng Temple and go to the palace to perform a ritual to remove the evil and usher in good fortune."

As long as she could step into the palace, her purpose of returning to the palace would be half achieved, and it was not impossible to slowly consider the rest.

Emperor Yu naturally understood that Concubine De's concession was only to silence the gossips. How long the ritual would last was up to him, and this was exactly the result he wanted.

If you don't have to worry about being criticized and you can get what you want, why not do it?

He nodded approvingly: "Well, the Yongning Marquis brother and sister are very pleasing to me. In this case, do the Queen and Zuo Qing have any objections?"

Using this method to silence them, no matter how much Empress Zou and Zuo Fuhong could talk about, it was useless. The two could only swallow their anger unwillingly.

Zuo Fuhong also knew in his heart that he would not be able to touch the Gao family again in the short term.

Not long after, the news of Concubine De's return spread from the palace, and Yongning Hou Gao Han became a celebrity in the court because of his diligent and pragmatic image.

Soon, Marquis Yongning moved his family back to the capital. To celebrate the move, Marquis Yongning held a banquet to entertain the dignitaries of the capital. Naturally, the Left Prime Minister and his family were also invited.

Zuo Fuhong was the prime minister, so naturally he looked down on the banquet of a small marquis, but he was known for his friendliness and benevolence, so he always had to do some face-saving work.

So he claimed to be ill and sent several of his children and Feng Zhanye to go and congratulate them.

The carriage stopped outside the Marquis' Mansion. Gu Qingzhi helped Feng Zhanye get off the carriage and then raised her head to look at the facade of the Marquis' Mansion.

As expected of a wealthy family with a mine, although the scale of the Marquis' Mansion looks smaller than that of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the decoration is in no way inferior. The ingenuity of the craftsmen can be seen from the details.

Although Gu Qingzhi didn't understand much, just entering the mansion, with its green bricks, black tiles, and lush vegetation, made her feel at ease.

As she was looking at it, she felt someone touching her fingertips. She looked up and saw Feng Zhanye looking back at her seriously.

"Azhi, does it hurt? Are you okay?"

Gu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she was still injured.

Feng Zhanye treated her with extreme care these days. Not only did he always rush to help her with the heavy work, but sometimes he even brought meals to her bedside. If you didn't know better, you would think she was the master.

After the wound scabbed over, Gu Qingzhi also said that she could do it herself and he didn't need to worry so much. However, he turned around and forgot about it, and continued to do what he was supposed to do.

Afraid that he would do something strange in public, she quickly shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, don't worry."

Feng Zhanye then retracted his gaze and said, "That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me and we will go back early."

"Know it."

Gu Qingzhi replied and quickly lowered her head.

The three members of the Zuo family who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today were Zuo Chengyu, Zuo Chengran, and Zuo Lanxin. As soon as the two of them followed the three siblings of the Zuo family and sat at the table, discussions arose from all directions.

"Why is this evil spirit here too?"

"It's an unlucky thing. Stay away from it. Be careful not to get infected by the evil spirit."

"Lord Zuo Xiang is taking him too seriously, isn't he? He even asked him to come to such a big banquet."

"The Gao family actually let someone in. Aren't they afraid that this house will become a haunted house in a few days?"

Zuo Chengyu turned a deaf ear to all this and completely ignored it. He sat down at the table with a warm smile on his face.

Zuo Chengran turned around and gave Feng Zhanye a teasing smile, then sat down next to Zuo Chengyu.

Zuo Lanxin was not here because she had already gone to the women's table.

Feng Zhanye had expected this to happen, so he just followed the servant who led the way to an empty seat. Just as he was about to sit down, a young man in a white shirt sitting next to him grabbed the cushion in front of him.

He raised his head and looked at the boy with disgust.

"Who asked you to sit next to me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes were drawn to the table. The guests at the table were all young gentlemen, and each of them was eager to see the show.

"Go away and don't disturb me from drinking!"

Hearing what the young man in white said, the people around him started laughing quietly.

The servant from Gao's mansion who was leading Feng Zhanye hurriedly reminded him, "Master Liu, this is His Royal Highness Prince Duan. Please raise your hand."

However, Mr. Liu picked up the wine glass and drank it all, sneering, not taking the servant's words to heart at all.

"What's wrong with Prince Duan? He is just a discarded child. How can he really think he is so noble? If he has the ability, why doesn't he go to the table of dukes and princes?"

Young Master Liu had no intention of giving Feng Zhanye any face at all. Everyone was eager to see Feng Zhanye's reaction, but they only saw him staring at him expressionlessly.

"I think you should stop being so arrogant. You should know your own situation. You shouldn't have come to this place. Go back to where you came from."

The young man in purple beside Young Master Liu joined in. Although his attitude was not as arrogant as Young Master Liu's, every word he said was touching.

The young man in green clothes beside him also echoed: "That's right, hurry up and leave, you are not welcome here."

When these people were talking, the brothers Zuo Chengyu and Zuo Chengran did not say a word to support them, and it was obvious that they were going to play deaf and dumb.

Gu Qingzhi didn't expect that even after the rumor that Zuo Xiangdu attached importance to Feng Zhanye had spread to every corner of Kyoto, there would still be people who were eager to cause trouble.

She walked forward slowly and kicked over the wine jug that Master Liu had placed beside him.

The wine gushed out and soon soaked the hem of Mr. Liu's clothes. He jumped up suddenly and shook his clothes quickly.

"Where did you come from, you little servant? How dare you throw wine at me? Are you looking for death?"

Gu Qingzhi replied calmly, "I didn't do it on purpose. Your wine jug was placed in the wrong place, and I just happened to kick it over by accident."

"'Coincidentally'? 'Accidentally'? Do you think I'm blind?"

Young Master Liu was so angry that his nose almost became crooked. He pointed at Gu Qingzhi and shouted with gritted teeth: "Someone, drag this ungrateful dog slave away and beat him to death with sticks!"
