Oh my god, can you play like this?

This was the first time for Xiao Yan'er to come to the palace. She found everything new and interesting, and her big eyes kept looking around.

But Xiao Yan'er was sensible. Even though she was curious about everything, she never let go of the eldest lady's hand, and she was not like other children who kept asking questions.

This is also what the eldest lady repeatedly emphasized to Xiao Yan'er before entering the palace. After entering the palace, you must not talk nonsense and you must not leave the eldest lady's side.

But Xiao Yan'er is only four years old! How can a four-year-old child listen to whatever the adults say? She can still be naughty.

But Xiao Yan'er was different. After getting off her own carriage, she became extremely obedient. She held the eldest lady's hand tightly and would not let go. She looked and listened with her big eyes blinking, and she would not speak unless someone spoke to her.

In the past, it was because Xiao Yan'er was too young and it was not suitable to bring her to the palace banquets. Besides, there was no one to support the eldest lady at that time. The eldest lady was afraid of making mistakes if she went out alone, and she did not dare to bring Xiao Yan'er into the palace.

It’s different now. The backbone of their family has returned and has been conferred the title of Marquis Dingguo. Looking at all the civil and military officials in the court, is there anyone with a higher position than theirs?

You can tell from how many women from different families came to curry favor with the eldest lady starting from the moment they got off the carriage at the palace gate.

In the past, women from various families would come and talk to the eldest lady, but that was only because the Gu family's influence was still there, and everyone was polite to the eldest lady.

But all the women the eldest lady met today were definitely trying to fawn on her.

Everyone has vanity, and the eldest lady is no exception. Today, the eldest lady's face is really rosy, and her vanity is greatly satisfied.

Even little Yan'er, who was being held by the eldest lady's hand, didn't know how many compliments she had received.

Xiao Yan'er was of course happy to hear someone praising her, but she always remembered the eldest lady's instructions and did not lose her manners because of her happiness.

After Gu Lanzhi finished gossiping with the eldest lady, he looked at Xiao Yan'er, reached out and held Xiao Yan'er on his lap.

"Don't do that. Take care of your injury." The eldest lady said anxiously.

The eldest lady never dared to let Xiao Yan'er get too close to Gu Lanzhi, for fear that the child might hurt Gu Lanzhi without any care.

"It's okay, our Yan'er is well behaved!" Gu Lanzhi held Yan'er in his arms and sat her down, and said to the eldest lady with a smile.

Gu Lanzhi had wanted to hold Xiao Yan'er in his arms for a long time, but before it was because his body really didn't allow it. But now that he can fly so far with his Qinggong skills, it's no big deal to hold the child in his lap.

"Yan'er, is it fun in the palace?"

Xiao Yan'er nodded with sparkling eyes, but she didn't dare to move too much for fear of touching Gu Lanzhi's wound.

When Gu Lanzhi just returned to Beijing, Xiao Yan'er sneaked to the outside of her brother's room one day and happened to meet the doctor changing her brother's bandages. Xiao Yan'er saw the horrifying wound on Gu Lanzhi's body.

This is also the reason why the eldest lady doesn't let Yan'er get too close to her brother, and why Yan'er obediently doesn't get close to her brother.

"Are there any children who want to play with Yan'er?"

Gu Lanzhi is now absorbing all kinds of news from the court, and sometimes he can get unexpected surprises from children.

Yan'er shook her head and said, "I saw a few young ladies, but we didn't play together."

"I held Yan'er's hand the whole time and didn't dare let her walk around freely," said the eldest lady.

Gu Lanzhi didn't seem disappointed at all and nodded with a smile.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived, and the Empress Dowager has arrived." The eunuch at the entrance of the hall shouted loudly.

The eldest lady quickly took Yan'er off Gu Lanzhi's legs, took Yan'er to their place and knelt down quickly.

After the emperor, empress and queen mother took their seats, everyone in the hall stood up and sat back in their seats.

"Today's palace banquet is to welcome the envoys from Xilin and to celebrate Marquis Gu's title of Marquis Dingguo. Everyone please don't be restrained."

It was a palace banquet! The emperor had to make the opening remarks first.

After the emperor finished speaking, the court officials said some polite words to congratulate Lord Gu, and the atmosphere became much more lively. Only then did the banquet truly begin.

Beautifully presented dishes were served on the table, but no one touched their food, waiting for the emperor to start eating first.

Gu Lanzhi did not hear what the emperor said next, as all his attention was on the food in front of him.

It's not that he is so greedy, but he wants to open a villa and a restaurant, so it is necessary for him to see what the dishes prepared by the imperial chefs in the palace are like.

As for research, everyone knows it.

Only after the emperor took a bite of the food did the people below dare to pick up their chopsticks and start eating. At the same time, the sound of stringed instruments rang out in the hall and dancers came on stage to dance.

Gu Lanzhi first tasted the dishes in front of him in small bites, and then he looked up at the dance in front of him after he had an idea of ​​what was going on.

I have to say that the ancients knew how to enjoy themselves. How could they be in a bad mood while eating, drinking and watching?

The audience in the live broadcast room were also sighing about the life of the ancients, but Gu Lanzhi was a little unable to appreciate ancient music, and he didn't like that kind of tune very much.

While watching the dance, Gu Lanzhi was thinking about the business he was about to start.

Gu Lanzhi has almost arranged all the shops granted to him by the emperor.

The first is wine. Gu Lanzhi feels that ancient wine is very ordinary. It tastes ordinary and has no alcoholic strength. The alcohol content is relatively low and not strong enough.

Moreover, the taste of this wine is sour and sticky, which Gu Lanzhi doesn't like.

This wine business can definitely be done, and as long as Gu Lanzhi’s winery produces it, it will definitely be in short supply. Gu Lanzhi has this confidence.

Gu Lanzhi was so absorbed in his thoughts that his gaze was fixed on the dancers in front of him, but his eyes were empty.

But to outsiders, it seemed that Gu Lanzhi was just staring at the dancer with a straight gaze, until Gu Lanzhi felt a cold gaze fixed on him.

Gu Lanzhi looked in the direction of the gaze he felt and saw Li Beichen's face, which was as cold as ice.

Gu Lanzhi tilted his head in confusion, and then saw Li Beichen glaring at him and then looking away.

This made Gu Lanzhi even more confused! He didn't seem to have done anything, right?

And... Li Beichen actually glared at him? He really glared at him! What was going on?

Gu Lanzhi could understand that Li Beichen kept a distance from her in order to prevent others from discovering their relationship, but... but why was he glaring at her?

Gu Lanzhi looked at Li Beichen blankly for several times, and Li Beichen did not make eye contact with Gu Lanzhi.

Finally, Gu Lanzhi found the answer to why Li Beichen was glaring at him in the comments in the live broadcast room.
