Drunk Bamboo

After everyone had left, Hongmei asked softly, "Mr. Gu, aren't you afraid of missing out on a good marriage?"

He stood up slowly, his face showing none of the humility and remorse from before, instead he looked relaxed.

As if he had finally completed his mission, he smiled happily: "Alas... it's a pity that I made such a passionate confession. Miss Xun didn't like me, and I couldn't do anything about it. A forced melon is not sweet, and I never force anyone to do anything."

Han Xin, who had been watching the fun in vain, was just about to leave when Gu Suiyi took a quick step and somehow appeared in front of Han Xin in the blink of an eye.

As his long legs stretched out, Han Xin was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

"Bang——"

A heavy blow caused a muffled groan.

Han Xin had a mouthful of dust in his mouth. He climbed up and pointed angrily, "Gu Suiyi, you tripped me!"

Gu Suiyi took a step back, fanning himself with a fan, and said with a look of disdain, "Mr. Han, you have to be careful when you walk. If you always look up, you'll fall. Look, you didn't look at the road carefully, and you fell."

"Wait, I..."

Han Xin looked around for someone to take action, but was stopped by Han Jian with a stern voice.

Han Jian looked at his disheveled appearance and then saw Gu Suiyi walking leisurely. He guessed that his son was bullied, but he didn't have the time to care about it at the moment.

What kind of occasion is this? How dare you act rashly?

"What are you doing? You look disheveled! His Majesty is already at the door, follow me to greet him!"

Han Xin could only hold back his anger for now, and before leaving, he said viciously: "Gu Suiyi, just wait! We cannot coexist!"

Gu Suiyi shrugged, looking like he was ready to go and fearless.

Han Xin was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he had no choice but to welcome his father, who was right in front of him.

Not far away, Xie Yuzhu watched this scene happen with a smile on his face.

After this scene, her opinion of Gu Suiyi changed. He was not just a simple playboy, but someone who was pretending to be a pig but was actually a tiger.

She smiled and said to Hua Qinfeng: "King Wen's wedding banquet is not only lively, but also a place to watch a good show. This trip is worth it."

Hua Qinfeng was puzzled: "Is Gu Suiyi mentally ill? Does he want the marriage with the Xun family, or does he not want it?"

Xie Yuzhu said: "Who knows? Anyway, he acted very well."

There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Zhongdu City, and there are so many monsters and demons.

Chaoyang expressed his own opinion: "He dodged me easily just now, so his skills may not be inferior to mine."

Hua Qinfeng was surprised and said, "How can such a scoundrel and playful person have such good skills?"

Chaoyang: "The ancestors of the Gu family also fought bravely on the battlefield, but the military spirit has gradually faded in the past two generations. Many people have forgotten how the Gu family obtained the title of marquis."

Hua Qinfeng was not familiar with most of the officials and nobles in Zhongdu City. The only ones he knew were the faces of those who had liked to report him in the past, all of whom held high positions.

And they know nothing about the past of their ancestors.

He really couldn't have imagined that Gu Suiyi had such an ancestor.

Xie Yuzhu sighed: "You can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the ocean. This Gu Suiyi is no simple person."

At this time someone shouted:

"Your Majesty has arrived——"

Everyone knelt and bowed.

The emperor appeared with the empress and imperial concubine on his left and right, smiling widely.

"No need to be so polite. I'm here to attend a wedding banquet today. Everyone, please don't be shy!"

Then he was surrounded by people, entered the main hall, and sat in the highest seat.

Soon, the auspicious time arrived, and the groom Hua Qinming, like the emperor, held the two brides on his left and right.

This was also specially approved by the emperor, breaking previous conventions, which shows how much respect he had for this concubine.

After the formalities and worship, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, the groom took his seat, and toasts began from all sides.

The first glass of wine was of course toast to the emperor. The emperor was happy, knowing that everyone would be nervous in his presence, so he drank a few glasses of wine and left the palace with the empress and the imperial concubine.

Before leaving, he specifically reminded everyone to have a good time.

Everyone sent the largest Buddha statue away with great respect, and then began to toast each other, exchange pleasantries, and try to get close to each other.

Xie Yuzhu's eyes flickered, as if he saw something.

Hua Qinfeng noticed her surprised look and asked, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

She looked in the direction she was just in, searching: "I think I saw someone familiar."

"Who?"

He looked around but couldn't find anything. He shook his head and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong. He can't be here."

Hua Qinfeng didn't care. Seeing that the food on the table was untouched, he said, "You have never liked the food at the banquet. Anyway, Father, Mother and Queen are gone, and we will leave early after the Crown Princess leaves. Chang'an has hired a new chef who is good at cooking northern dishes. Let's go and try it."

Nodded: "Yeah, okay."

Xie Yuzhu couldn't help but look in the previous direction again, but still saw nothing.

I sighed in my heart, thinking that I must have been dazzled.

King Wen Hua Qinming was weak and no one dared to force him to drink. He just went through the motions and walked around with the wine glass in his hand. Then he was exhausted and was sent to a room to rest.

Those invited to the banquet were all those left behind by the Imperial Concubine and those from Prince Wen's Mansion. They were not of high status, but they represented the master, and no one dared to disrespect them.

The officials were flattering each other. The most eye-catching one was the Minister of Revenue Liu Shancai. He was short, fat and round, but he moved flexibly between the seats with ease.

His two small mustaches jumped up and down as he spoke, which looked quite funny.

"Lord Han is highly valued by His Majesty, and his face is radiant!"

"You and I are both Shangshu. Lord Liu is in charge of the entire Rao Kingdom's money. How can the Ministry of Works compare to him?"

Liu Shancai looked envious: "Master Han, you don't know how much pressure I am under. I am not as lucky as Master Han, who has a capable son to help. I envy him so much..."

Han Jian smiled triumphantly and raised his glass: "On this happy day, I toast to Master Liu!"

Han Jian was drunk and didn't notice that his son Han Xin had sneaked out.

"Master, the master has warned you not to run around. Let's go back to the banquet. If the master can't find you later, I will be scolded again!"

"I get angry when I see Gu Suiyi's face, and Hua Qinfeng, how can I be in the mood to toast! Come out and get some fresh air!"

The followers followed closely behind Han Xin, feeling anxious and afraid.

He didn't even dare to offend Han Xin who was angry, so he could only follow silently.

When I came to the garden nearby, I suddenly saw a tall and thin man standing under a pear tree in the corner, staring straight at the pear blossoms in front of him.

He was watching so intently, as if nothing around him could disturb him.

"Hey! Isn't this the idiot from the Liu family?"

Han Xin was startled, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on his angry face.

Someone came to be his punching bag.
