While pushing the cups and changing the cups, Gu Hanzhao also became a little drunk. With Uncle Zhao's example, more and more people came to toast to him.

Gu Hanzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw that the person toasting in front of him had changed, and it was actually Zhao Chong.Seeing the other party's attentive smile, Gu Hanzhao felt inexplicably happy. The other party still treated him like an elder a few days ago, but it has completely changed in the past few days.

Gu Hanzhao lowered his eyes and drank the strong wine in his glass with a smile. If he had not had a pair of good sons and daughters, with Zhao Chong's vision, he would not be able to climb the high branch of the fifth prince in this life, but it is unknown how long this high branch can be climbed .

"What are you doing?" The fifth prince's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhao Chong hurriedly gave up the seat he was standing on to the Fifth Prince, and stood on one side with his bow. The Fifth Prince glanced at him, appreciating his knowledge.

"The prince hasn't attended the palace banquet for a long time, and we are drinking with him." Uncle Zhao Guo was one of the few people here who could speak, and he replied immediately, implying that the fifth prince was close to Gu Hanzhao.

"Oh? That's right. Speaking of which, I also met the prince a few days ago. Come here, bring me a cup." The fifth prince played with the jade cup handed over by the maid and said with a smile: "Can the prince drink with me?" A cup?"

Gu Hanzhao pretended to be sincere and fearful, and said, "Thank you for your love, Your Highness."

After the fifth prince drank the wine in his glass, he didn't say much, and returned to his seat directly, and everyone also took their seats after seeing this.Now that the fifth prince has taken his seat, the other princes and the emperor and queen will arrive soon.

The Fifth Prince sat cross-legged on the seat, but he couldn't help looking at Gu Hanzhao. He was too hasty when he saw him before, and he only saw his appearance clearly today.The moonlight shone on Gu Hanzhao's face, softening the edges and corners and blurring the contours. Even the Fifth Prince had to praise his good looks.

The main reason why Empress Zhao can spoil the harem is because she has a good appearance. The fifth prince looks very much like his mother, with slightly gorgeous features, which wears down his masculinity. Sometimes it looks very gloomy.

While the fifth prince was in a trance, the other princes also took their seats one after another.Gu Hanzhao's eyes seemed to be casual, but in fact he kept on looking at the Eleventh Prince. His figure was much thinner than his brothers around him, but in a few years, he would be the emperor who most resembled Emperor Longwu.

At this time, the Eleventh Prince was still a small one, sitting on the table without any sense of presence, Gu Hanzhao took a sip of the spirits in his glass, hiding his scrutinizing eyes, but he was thinking about the timing of making friends with the Eleventh Prince.

"The emperor is here." The chief eunuch's voice interrupted everyone's conversation, and the surroundings were suddenly silent, and everyone lifted up their robes and knelt down to welcome their king.

"Let's make peace." Emperor Xuande sat down and asked all the officials to make peace, "Today is the Feng Dynasty Festival, and I can be regarded as having fun with all the officials."

After thanking you for your grace, everyone stood up and sat back in their original positions.

After Emperor Xuande took his seat, he encouraged everyone, and then ordered the chief eunuch on the side to start the palace banquet.

A row of maids carrying palace lanterns walked out slowly, leading the food serving team.Then the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the actors in dance clothes came out lightly, their every frown and smile were extremely beautiful.

Emperor Xuande looked at the dancing beauties in front of him, and the smile in his eyes was even bigger. Seeing this, Empress Zhao, who was sitting beside him, put a piece of crispy fish on his plate with her own hands, and laughed at Yanyan.

Halfway through the banquet, the fifth prince stepped forward while the actors were retreating, and said respectfully: "Father, besides your wise leadership, there is another person who made great contributions to my Nanze singing and dancing."

The Fifth Prince didn't dare to raise his eyes to see the emperor's expression now, and couldn't help but think of what Wei Lin, the think tank in the mansion, had said to him before the banquet.If Gu Hanzhao can't use it for himself, he absolutely can't stay!

A gleam flashed in Emperor Xuande's eyes, but he didn't speak immediately.Emperor Xuande's facial features were upright, exuding a sense of nobility, but he lacked the domineering aura that an emperor should have.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Xuande said slowly: "It's very true, if it wasn't for Zhenyuanhou to kill the enemy bravely this time, how could the loves have such a peaceful feast."

Hearing this, Gu Hanzhao hurried forward, knelt beside the fifth prince, and said earnestly, "It's His Majesty who loves you. If it weren't for your wise decision, the Gu family would never be able to repel Beiyuan."

The fifth prince was also stunned, and took a peek at his mother, not understanding why his father, who had praised him for his ability a few days ago, would embarrass him in front of all the officials today.

Empress Zhao narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, sighed in her heart, and told the Fifth Emperor countless times that these were the things his father tabooed the most.As the so-called emperor's mind, Gu Hanzhao's high achievements have already aroused Emperor Xuande's fear.The fifth prince seemed to be asking for credit for Gu Hanzhao in front of the officials, but actually pushed him into a more dangerous situation.

Seeing Gu Hanzhao's flattering look, Emperor Xuande laughed and said, "What the emperor said is true. The son has made great achievements in repelling Beiyuan this time, and I will reward him well." After a pause, he continued: "I see what the emperor's idea was before. That's right. The son has also reached the age of the crown ceremony, and Zhenyuan Hou died for the country, so I will personally perform the crown ceremony for the son. The day will be determined by Si Tianjian. As for the regulations, the Ministry of Rites will make a regulation in the next few days and submit it. .”

"Minister, obey the order." The Minister of Rites knelt down immediately.

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Gu Hanzhao lay on the ground, but he sneered in his heart. Now the Holy Majesty personally crowned him. Behind this seemingly infinite honor, there was a murderous intent hidden.The emperor is planning to flatter and kill himself. If you give him unlimited favor today, you should take away his military power tomorrow. The emperor's art, but the word balance, how can one family be allowed to dominate.

In this regard, the current emperor really wants to do better than the previous emperors. The Zhao family is favored and trusted, and they are in the limelight. In order to prevent the Zhao family from monopolizing power, he painstakingly supports the Xie family who are pure ministers.If half of his mind is devoted to governing the country, why is Nan Ze so weak? Could it be that he grew up in the hands of women in the deep palace and only learned these things about fighting for favor.

After Gu Hanzhao thanked him, he was waved back, and the sound of silk and bamboo played again. Everyone seemed to have not seen what happened just now, and continued to immerse themselves in the banquet. Gu Hanzhao looked at them talking and laughing coldly like an outsider.

The palace banquet was eaten in a cautious manner, and Gu Hanzhao was three-pointed drunk when the banquet was over, and most of the courtiers were helped out by the little eunuchs in the palace.Gu Hanzhao walked steadily, and waved away the young eunuch who was approaching eagerly.

"My son, let's support you." Gu Hanzhao frowned, not liking his slightly soft voice, and ordered: "Bring my horse here." Immediately, someone graciously brought Ta Shuang over.

Gu Hanzhao jumped up while holding the rein, and easily got on the horse's back.With a flick of the whip, he galloped away.The little eunuchs who were following behind him gritted their teeth secretly. They had limited knowledge. Seeing that Gu Hanzhao was in the limelight today, they wanted to show courtesy, but they didn't expect him to leave so soon.

After dismounting from his horse, Gu Hanzhao hurriedly walked towards his yard. As soon as he entered the gate of the yard, he saw the only light in the darkness.Xu Shi noticed that Gu Hanzhao had returned, and Zhao Jianyu was waiting for him outside the door, wearing a robe and holding an oil lamp.

The hair was blown up by the night wind, Gu Hanzhao stepped forward and brushed away the hair that covered his eyes, and covered his cool eyelids with fiery hands.

Zhao Zhanyu froze for a moment, then felt his lips warm up, the wine-smelling lips domineeringly occupied all his mind, the oil lamp in his hand fell down due to fright, and the only light in the night was also extinguished.

"Hide Yu, hide Yu." His lips parted slightly, Gu Hanzhao didn't know why he was so impulsive today.No longer satisfied with simply relying on each other.Gu Hanzhao parted the opponent's lips with an irresistible force, until his mouth was also stained with alcohol.

Zhao Zheyu felt that he must be drunk, the kiss with the smell of wine was like a dream, a dream he carefully wove, perfectly reappearing his most humble wish hidden in the depths.Otherwise, how could he hear Gu Hanzhao whispering in his ear, how could he hear... He said to himself: "Ji Yu, I like you."

Like a drowning man grasping the last piece of driftwood, Zhao Zheyu tightly grasped Gu Hanzhao's sleeve, did not answer directly, just closed his eyes, brushed his long eyelashes against the other's palm, approached recklessly, and then kissed back .

Zhao Zheyu was not a good student, his kiss was too eager, it was more like chewing than kissing.It wasn't until the oxygen in their mouths was exhausted that the two separated panting.Even though Zhao Jianyu's actions have expressed everything, Zhao Jianyu still dare not let go of his hand, fearing that if he lets go, he will see resistance or disgust in the eyes of the other party.

Zhao Zheyu held his hands with slightly cool fingertips, and was surprised to find that the other's hands seemed to be shaking. The original dream seemed to come back to reality all of a sudden, and his feet finally stepped on the ground.

"Me too." Zhao Zhanyu heard herself say, "Xinyue, you are the first time you appear in front of me."

These are the most beautiful words Gu Hanzhao has ever heard in his life. In his past years, he has never felt such a feeling that a person can easily impress himself with a word or a look.

Gu Hanzhao put down his hand that covered the opponent's eyes, and the moon that had been covered in the sky appeared again. With the help of the moonlight, Gu Hanzhao looked at the opponent's eyes. His eyes were slightly rippling, full of affection for himself .

"Wait for me for another three years." Gu Hanzhao spoke with difficulty, but with rare firmness: "After three years, I will marry you as my wife."

"Okay." Without asking why, Zhao Zhanyu agreed simply and neatly. His feelings have always been like this. Once he made up his mind, even if it was a long wait, he would be happy.

Gu Hanzhao's heart moved slightly, he remembered the willingness that the other party had said to him, and thanked God again, how lucky he was to meet Zhao Jianyu!

Gu Hanzhao groped around for a while before handing the bamboo plaque worn at the Fengchao Festival to Zhao Jianyu.One of the customs of the Fengchao Festival is that if you accept the bamboo plaque, you have agreed to the marriage. Zhao Jianyu did not accept it immediately, but stared at the bamboo plaque in a daze.

Gu Hanzhao was not in a hurry, he just stretched out his hand and waited quietly. The cold wind made Zhao Jianyu shiver, and he came to his senses, took the bamboo card in a hurry, touched the lines on it with his fingertips, all the lovesickness and waiting seemed to be worth it up.

"Can you call me Han Zhao?" Gu Hanzhao couldn't remember exactly when Zhao Jianyu called his name, but only vaguely remembered that except for that time, he never heard his name from the other party.

Gu Hanzhao looked at him stubbornly as he grabbed the hand that was holding the bamboo card and was about to withdraw it.

Zhao Zheyu's hands and feet were cold, but his cheeks were hot. The original embarrassment suddenly disappeared, and he raised his head and showed a bright smile to Gu Hanzhao, "Han Zhao."

Gu Hanzhao felt that this whole life was worth it.
