Oh my god, can you play like this?

Gu Shurui looked at Gu Lanzhi with eyes full of gratitude, but Gu Lanzhi's next words made Gu Shurui roll his eyes to the sky again.

If this wasn't his brother, he would have wanted to hit this man who ruined the atmosphere!

"Wow, come on, big brother, how can you cry like that when you're an adult? Your tears are too worthless, aren't they?" Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Shurui and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Gu Shurui looked at the man in front of him with a look of despair, and even Gu Jingcheng started to laugh secretly.

"Having you, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster for me!" Gu Shurui really didn't know how to evaluate his brother.

"That must be a blessing! I am such an excellent and good-looking person that I can be your brother. What else can you expect?"

Gu Lanzhi is very confident in his appearance and intelligence, and of course he is also very thick-skinned and confident.

Gu Shurui looked at Gu Jingcheng, who was also in a daze, with dead fish eyes, "Little brother, have you ever seen such a shameless person?"

Gu Jingcheng shook his head cooperatively, then ran to his seat without saying anything else.

Gu Shurui also sat up straight and ignored Gu Lanzhi.

Gu Lanzhi looked at his two younger brothers and sighed twice. Neither of his two younger brothers looked at him again.

"Lanzhi, why did you come so early? When I went to your house to pick you up, the servants said that you had already entered the palace. I made a wasted trip."

Gu Lanzhi's mood, which was originally filled with laughter from his two younger brothers, was immediately dampened by the sound.

"The third prince."

He is the third prince of Xilin Kingdom after all. Gu Lanzhi couldn't ignore Di Meng in front of so many people, so he could only respond indifferently, but he complained in his heart, "If you really want to pick me up, you would have told someone to tell me a long time ago. Why are you asking for credit now?"

"Lanzhi, don't be so cold to me all the time. After all, we are old acquaintances."

Gu Lanzhi smiled coldly, "Old acquaintance? A defeated general is more like a defeat."

Gu Lanzhi really couldn't hold it in any longer and was about to start arguing.

He really didn't have a good impression of the Third Prince. He came under the banner of asking for Gu Lanzhi's hand in marriage, but after arriving in Dongshun Kingdom, he kept hanging out in brothels and having a lot of fun. He even acted as if he was so affectionate, which made Gu Lanzhi feel sick.

Gu Lanzhi also understood that the fireworks place was a good place to inquire about information, but you should at least cover it up. Going there in a swagger and saying that you would not marry anyone but Gu Lanzhi would only make people think that Di Meng was very annoying.

Gu Lanzhi spoke in a loud voice, and the people around him could hear it clearly.

Gu Lanzhi originally thought that Di Meng would feel ashamed and angry, but he underestimated how thick-skinned Di Meng was. Not only did Di Meng not feel anything wrong, but he was laughing happily.

"That's right, I am your defeated opponent, Lanzhi. I am willing to be defeated by you for the rest of my life, as long as you are willing to look at me one more time."

Gu Lanzhi picked up the tea on the table in front of him and took a sip. "Why would a defeated general be worth another look from me?"

If Di Meng hadn't come to disgust him, Gu Lanzhi wouldn't have given him no face at all. But this man has no self-awareness and insists on jumping around in front of Gu Lanzhi. As a marquis of a hostile country, it's acceptable for Gu Lanzhi not to give Di Meng face.

"Third Prince, the Marquis's attitude has been made very clear, so don't ask for trouble.

With such beauty and ability, all the men in Dongshun are flocking to you. How come it is your turn in Xilin?"

The second prince sat in his seat, drinking tea and talking, his posture was very leisurely.

Di Meng turned and looked in the direction of the second prince, with a cold light in his eyes.

"Second Prince, it is said that the people of Dongshun are sensible and reasonable. I was talking to Lanzhi, why did the Second Prince interrupt me for no reason?"

The second prince smiled and put down the teacup, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and he said in a gentle voice: "Third Prince, the Marquis does not want to talk to you more, can't you see it?

The Marquis is the Marquis of Dongshun. You disregarded the newly established diplomatic relations between the two countries and openly provoked my Dongshun Kingdom in the hall, saying that you wanted to marry my Marquis. I, the second prince, can't stand it. Why can't I say a few words?"

Di Meng looked at the second prince with amusement, "My request to marry Lan Zhi means I am disregarding diplomatic relations?"

"Of course! Let's not talk about whether the Marquis thinks highly of you or not, and let's not talk about the fact that all the men of the Gu family are buried on the border. Let's just say that the Marquis has fought with your Xilin Kingdom for so many years. If the Marquis really went to Xilin with you, would you Xilin people tolerate Marquis Gu?

You are so arrogant that you say the sky is high and birds can fly freely. I am afraid that if Marquis Gu goes to your Xilin territory, he will be besieged by you Xilin people!"

Hearing this, Dimon narrowed his eyes dangerously.

“Second Prince, you are wrong. If I ask to marry Lan Zhi, I will naturally protect Lan Zhi and make him worry-free for the rest of his life. Then you don’t have to worry about that.

Second Prince, I remember that you and Lan Zhi didn't have any friendship before. It's strange today. Why didn't the Fifth Prince, who was engaged to Lan Zhi, speak up to protect Lan Zhi, but you, the Second Prince, did it instead?"

After Di Meng finished speaking, he looked at Gu Lanzhi.

There was no expression on Gu Lanzhi's face. He just continued to drink his tea calmly. However, he had a new understanding of Di Meng in his heart.

He didn't expect that Di Meng's brain was still quite useful!

The people who were closer to Gu Lanzhi and the others were listening attentively to the noise here, and naturally heard what Di Meng said. Many of them secretly glanced at the Second Prince, and were secretly calculating in their hearts.

When the Second Prince heard what Di Meng said, he felt a little upset, but it did not show on his face at all.

"I am the prince of Dongshun State, how can I watch my own Lord being embarrassed?

No matter who the Marquis is engaged to, this prince will not stand by and watch others bully the Marquis."

Hearing the second prince's words, Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

This Second Prince is indeed much stronger than the Fifth Prince. Look at what he said. Not only does he demonstrate his duty as a prince, but he also expresses his loyalty to Gu Lanzhi in disguise.

With the words "No matter who the Marquis is engaged to, this prince will not stand by and watch others bully the Marquis", he revealed his feelings to Gu Lanzhi.

"Oh? The Second Prince really cares about his subjects!" Having said this, Di Meng turned his head and looked at Gu Lanzhi, "Lanzhi, do you believe what the Second Prince said?"

"Of course I believe it." Gu Lanzhi answered very confidently.

Are you kidding? Di Meng is a prince of another country. How could Gu Lanzhi not support the second prince of his country? No matter what the second prince says, Gu Lanzhi has to respond at this time!

“Hehehe… just believe Lan Zhi’s letter.” Di Meng lowered his brows, hiding the sharpness in his eyes.

The sound of the wheelchair rolling broke the turbulent undercurrent in the hall, and everyone looked towards the direction of the hall entrance.

Ancient wheelchairs were all made of pure wood, without any shock absorbers or rubber, so the noise from the wheels rolling was quite loud.

After seeing the person sitting in the wheelchair, Gu Lanzhi's originally low mood instantly dissipated.

Li Beichen was pushed slowly into the hall, accompanied by intermittent coughing.

The news that Li Beichen returned to Kyoto has spread these days. Everyone knows that the Ninth Prince has returned to Kyoto, and they also know that the Ninth Prince was seriously ill, so His Majesty allowed him to return to the capital to recuperate.

No one expected that the Ninth Prince would show up at today's banquet. However, looking at his pale face and weak appearance, many people felt that this might be the last time they would see the Ninth Prince.

The next time I see the Ninth Prince, it will probably be at his funeral.

Gu Lanzhi looked at Li Beichen like this, the corners of his mouth curled up quietly, and he complained in his heart, "He really pretends to be like that."

If the two of them hadn't been flirting in Li Beichen's room last night, just looking at Li Beichen's current appearance, Gu Lanzhi might have actually believed it!
