On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Zhen left the casino and headed straight for the palace.

There were crowds of people at the palace gate today, and many local officials came to the capital in person to give gifts to Murong Yan.

Officials below the fourth rank were not even qualified to enter the palace. They only delivered the gifts to a carriage managed by the Hundred Cavalry Division, said a few flattering words, and left.

When the carriage was full, they would be sent to the palace one by one, and Huanhuan would be responsible for receiving them.

Even though the officials couldn't get in, Murong Yan remembered all the gifts they sent because the tongueless eunuch was responsible for announcing them.

When Lin Zhen followed Lin Zhenxian in, he heard him shouting while standing on the dragon platform.

"Qinghe Governor Meng Da is here to celebrate Your Majesty's birthday, bringing two coral trees as a gift!"

"Wu Xian, the chief steward of Jianglong Road, is here to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, bringing with him twenty bear paws as a gift!"

"Liaodong Governor Jiang Heng is here to celebrate Your Majesty's birthday, bringing a gift of ten thousand-year-old ginseng roots from Changbai Mountain!"

Lin Zhen was dumbfounded when he heard these things.

The local people are rich, any one of these things would be priced sky-high!

"Regent King Lin Zhenxian is here to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, bringing a gift of military manuals!"

“Pfft…Hehehe…”

"Ah? Your Highness is really generous today!"

"Yes, the military book written by the prince is worth a fortune!"

"I'm so envious!"

Except for the officials from the Lin family faction, the officials from the Gu family faction could not help but hold back their laughter.

He is a poor guy after all. The birthday gift he gave to His Majesty was a book on military strategy!

What? You expect His Majesty to personally go to the battlefield?

Even Murong Yan herself curled her lips in displeasure and continued to listen to the rest.

Lin Zhenxian didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In his opinion, the military book he wrote was a thousand times better than these conventional rituals.

He took Lin Zhen to the front seat and sat down. Then he heard Wushe shout, "Princess Qingqiu of Chu State is here to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday. She has brought gifts... gifts..."

Wushe didn't dare to pronounce the rest of the sentence.

Murong Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, and a bad premonition came to her mind.

Just as he was about to ask, he saw Chu Xiling leading the Chu delegation into the hall and shouting, "The Chu State offers a half-penny gift to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty the Great Qian State!"

"Um!?"

"You bold lunatic! Are you mocking His Majesty as being worthless?!"

"Someone, get out!"

"Hahahaha, how dare you!"

Lin Zhen looked at Chu Xiling and felt that this woman was truly a stunning beauty, especially her oval face, which was very similar to the fairy sister in later generations!

Oh my god, what a peerless beauty!

No wonder Gu Beichen would rather make Murong Yan angry than take her into his harem.

Not only that, her voice was also melodious and pleasant, with a lingering sound. It was a pity that the words she uttered were too provocative, losing the beauty.

But she said, "The Chu State is weak and cannot afford a birthday gift. I beg His Majesty the Emperor Daqian to forgive me."

"Your Chu State is still poor? Are you kidding me?"

"I think you are deliberately provoking me!"

"Do you want to start a war?"

Chu Xiling stood in the hall, ready to debate with the scholars: "No, although our Chu State is poor, we are not afraid of war. How about we sign the declaration of war right now?"

She is fearless.

It is worthy of being the strongest country in China, as it has this courage and determination.

Murong Yan was already shaking with anger before the banquet even started, and it was immediately clear who was better than the confident and arrogant Chu Xiling.

She almost subconsciously looked towards the Gu family's location and found that Gu Yunting and Gu Beichen were late for some reason. She had no choice but to retort to Chu Xiling herself.

"Princess Chu, if you want to start a war, Daqian is not afraid of you!"

"Alright! This princess has been waiting for your Majesty to say this. I'll go back and prepare now. Let's start the war in three days!"

After saying this, Chu Xiling was about to leave.

What's going on?

Lin Zhen was a little confused. Could it be that ancient people used to fight wars so lightly? Could they start a war with just a few words?

This shouldn't be the case. Is this acting?

Sure enough, Chu Xiling wanted to leave and no one wanted to keep her.

She stopped at the palace gate, turned around and said with a giggle: "Haha, I almost forgot, I came here to celebrate His Majesty's birthday today. How can I leave before I have even had the birthday wine?"

Maybe this is called eating and vomiting.

After saying that, she returned to her seat and continued to glance at everyone fearlessly.

In the end, he only fixed his gaze on Lin Zhenxian, who was resting with his eyes closed, and looked very fearful.

Having said that, it is true that no one in any country in China dares to underestimate this old marshal.

What surprised Lin Zhen was that in addition to the State of Chu, envoys from other countries also came, and the gifts were neither too expensive nor too light, and were considered appropriate.

From this we can also see that the State of Chu had sufficient covetousness for Daqian.

Murong Yan was so angry that her teeth were itching. If she was underestimated by the Chu State today, then these countries would treat Daqian like a piece of dirt in the future.

Damn it, why hasn’t that damn Gu Yunting come yet!

......

Half an hour ago.

Gu Beichen had already changed into his most formal attire, a light blue robe, a purple gold crown draped over his shoulders, and a Shu brocade jade belt with hundreds of flowers around his waist.

This outfit is not inferior to Lin Zhen's.

He is of course handsome, but Lin Zhen thinks there is still a certain gap between him and himself. After all, no male netizen would admit that he is uglier than Eddie Peng.

I made an appointment with Gu Yunting to go out at the same time, and coincidentally, a maid came in from outside.

This maid was Yinglian, the girl he had just met a few days ago. She had a red mole on her eyebrow, and she looked very cute and playful.

Gu Beichen liked her the most because she was really obedient and did things properly, especially in bed, where she almost always obeyed him.

"Master! There's a girl outside who says she needs to see you urgently."

Gu Beichen asked curiously: "Girl? Where did the girl come from?"

"She claims to be from the palace."

"The palace... bring it in."

Qingwen was standing outside the door. After hearing the sound inside, she took a few steps forward and smiled a smirk that was even more evil than Lin Zhen's.

That’s right, Huanbi sent her to inform Gu Beichen.

This girl is pretty, good at speaking, and efficient. She is arguably Gu Beichen's favorite type.

When a man sees a girl who meets his own ideas about choosing a partner, he will naturally let down his guard. It can be said that Huanbi handles this point very well.

When Qingwen walked in and saw Gu Beichen, a tear rolled down her cheek before she could say anything.

"Clap."

Tears fell to the ground, and Qingwen finally said: "Mr. Gu... Madam she...she..."

Qingwen looked as if someone in her family had died, which scared Gu Beichen.

"What happened to her? Tell me!"

"She ran away secretly and insisted on seeing you!"

"Where is she? When did she run away?"

"The young lady sent me a servant to tell you that she's waiting for you at the restaurant in the East Market!" At this point, Qingwen's face was filled with tears, like a pear blossom in the rain. "Master Gu... wuwuwu, please, you must go see her. She really took a huge risk to escape."

"But..."

Gu Beichen had not lost his mind yet, because he thought of someone.

Lin Zhen.

You never know when this Beyond will suddenly appear.

"Mr. Gu, the young lady has given up her life for you. Don't you want to go see her? She's in the restaurant's private room."

"Where's Lin Zhen?"

"Lin Zhen has already gone with the prince to attend His Majesty's birthday banquet and will not be back!"
