Contract Prince

Under Lu Zhong's jealous gaze, Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue sat down gracefully.

At the banquet, there were not only beautiful girls singing and dancing, but also delicious food and wine. For a while, all the guests were happy and talking and laughing.Gu Yunjing has no intention of admiring Meiji, because in his eyes, Xiao Muxue is the most beautiful woman in the world, no matter how beautiful other women are, they are all paled in comparison to Xiao Muxue with the ice and snow posture.

Gu Yunjing is not good at drinking, but on such a grand occasion, he can't keep a drop of alcohol. There are always many princes and marquises who drink to him.This was a return banquet held for her and the princess, and she couldn't refuse other people's toast due to emotion and reason.

Gu Yunjing frowned slightly, raised his wine glass, raised his head slightly, took a few sips, sniffed and drank, his face was flushed, tears almost didn't come out.

"My son-in-law, this is not the way to drink alcohol. Today is a festive day. What's the matter, you have to drink a few more glasses, so that you can enjoy yourself. Come, let me offer you a few glasses, congratulations on marrying the most honorable princess of Xiao Kingdom .” Lu Zhong saw that Gu Yunjing was overwhelmed with alcohol, and deliberately made things difficult for her.

Gu Yunjing was expressionless, looking at Lu Zhong leisurely.She had heard from Tao Ce that the queen had chosen the princess' son-in-law, so she was not surprised by Lu Zhong's embarrassment.

"Is the son-in-law unwilling to drink with me?" Lu Zhong sneered, "If you don't drink, don't you look down on me, Lu Zhong?"

Gu Yunjing really looked down on him, a narrow-minded and aggressive young master, what is there to show off?However, in front of a full house of guests, she couldn't embarrass Lu Zhong directly. After all, Lu Zhong's father was the emperor's teacher, and his qualifications were higher than his own father's, and he was deeply respected by the emperor.

Back then, Xiao Guan was able to ascend to the throne smoothly, and Lu Lin made many suggestions, which can be said to be indisputable.Xiao Guan was suspicious of many people, but he respected this teacher quite a lot.In comparison, his father was far less favored by Xiao Guan than Lu Lin.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan holds a heavy army, but at the same time, he is also deeply suspected by the emperor.If it wasn't for Gu Wei's ability to fight well, if it wasn't for the undecided border, Xiao Guan would definitely have taken over his military power.

Gu Yunjing felt that in this situation, there was no need to offend the Lu family.Therefore, in the face of Lu Zhong's provocation, while maintaining the principle, within the allowable tolerance range, how many steps can be taken back.

Gu Yunjing forced a smile, and replied coldly: "I heard that Duke Ning's eyes are very high, and no one can fall into your eyes. Thanks to your high opinion, I am really flattered."

Gu Yunjing would never call herself her son-in-law, and often called herself by her first name in front of people to show her humility.Of course, this score differs from person to person. In front of the arrogant and domineering Lu Zhong at this moment, not only can calling himself a name taboo not show humility, but it will make his identity more humble.

Gu Yunjing focused her eyes, raised her eyebrows lightly, and added: "Although I don't like drinking alcohol, I have to drink the wine you toasted today no matter what. Because I am Xiao Guo's son-in-law and the husband of the sixth princess."

Although she had a kind face when she said this, her tone was very strong, especially when she said the last sentence, her voice was a little bit aggravated.Gu Yunjing deliberately emphasized the fact that she is the princess's husband, as if reminding Lu Zhong not to have unreasonable thoughts about the princess.

For Lu Zhong who admired Xiao Muxue, Gu Yunjing's words were like stabbing the pain in his heart.He snorted coldly in his heart, and the eyes he looked at Gu Yunjing became colder and sharper, like a cold sharp arrow, ready to go, ready to poke Gu Yunjing's heart at any time.

"My son-in-law is so brave. Since you have said so, I will naturally toast you a few glasses, otherwise I will be sorry for your title of husband of the sixth princess."

Lu Zhong asked someone to change a large wine glass, the capacity was four times that of the previous one. He looked at Gu Yunjing while pouring wine into the glass.He didn't stop until the wine covered the entire glass.He poured himself a full glass, and poured another glass for Gu Yunjing.

"This wine is really fragrant, please, my son-in-law." Lu Zhong handed the wine glass to Gu Yunjing's table, and said in a strange way.

All of this was seen by all the guests, all with expressions on their faces.Ordinary princes and grandchildren and ministers of civil and military affairs have an attitude that they have nothing to do with themselves. On one side is the son of Ningguo, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, and on the other side is the emperor's beloved son-in-law. Neither side can be offended. It's better to be a spectator.

The expressions of the several princes are naturally different from theirs, among which King Zhao and King An have the most vivid expressions.Xiao Cong's face was full of smiles, Gu Yunjing had sabotaged his plan earlier and made him fail to blame Xiao Zhan and his wife, Xiao Cong was worried that there was nowhere to vent his anger.This time, Lu Zhong helped him out, the joy in his heart was self-evident, and he was very happy to see Lu Zhong make things difficult for Gu Yunjing.

Xiao Cong is happy, but Xiao Zhan has no time to be happy.He has received a lot of favors from Gu Yunjing, and the other party is Xiao Muxue's husband, both public and private, he and Gu Yunjing have long established a close relationship.

Xiao Zhan has always been righteous and does not see people being bullied.Not to mention Gu Yunjing, even if an ordinary courtier is made things difficult for, he will stand up and uphold justice for the palace staff.

Seeing Gu Yunjing being made things difficult by Lu Zhong now, Xiao Zhan's heart of justice was blazing, as if it was about to burst out.He couldn't hold back a few times and wanted to stand up to rescue Gu Yunjing.If the son-in-law hadn't shaken his head and winked at him, King An Xiao Zhan would have been impulsive again.

Xiao Guan was aware of the fights among the courtiers.He sat in the middle seat, taking all this into his eyes.It's not that Xiao Guan didn't want to help Gu Yunjing out of the siege, but considering the deeper factors, the emperor still gave up the idea of ​​caring for his son-in-law.

The factor Xiao Guan considered was that Gu Yunjing married the princess after all, if the majestic son-in-law of the Xiao Kingdom dared not even drink other people's toasts, it would be a loss to the royal family's face to spread the word.The overjoyed Xiao Guan didn't want others to discuss that his son-in-law, whom he had chosen out of thousands, was a coward.

Xiao Guan hoped that Gu Yunjing could make Lu Zhong completely defeated by his own ability.Therefore, he just quietly stroked the dragon's beard, quietly observing the changes in the atmosphere in the field.

These people can hold back their emotional fluctuations, but Tao Ce can't.On the surface, he looks like a fun-loving young man, but deep down he is extremely affectionate and righteous.He regards Gu Yunjing as a close friend, knowing that Zhenyuan Hou's son is not in good health, he usually takes care of him as much as possible.

With Tao Ce's temperament, if his friend is being bullied, how can he not help him?Just as Tao Ce was about to stand up, Gu Yunjing shook his head slightly at him.The emperor didn't even open his mouth. It was a breach of etiquette for Tao Ce to help him so hastily.Marquis Wu'an and Marquis Zhenyuan got very close, and the upright and upright appearance of these two Marquis offended many clans and dignitaries.

The caring people present are eager to see Tao Ce overstepping the rules, so that he can take this opportunity to participate in the book of Marquis of Wu'an.

Tao Ceyi was impulsive, he just wanted to help Gu Yunjing out of the siege, he never thought that this was behind the complexity.Gu Yunjing thought deeper and farther than him, so he was using his eyes and gestures to stop Tao Ce's impulse.

Good wine is usually strong, and the wine used to entertain guests at this grand banquet is even better and stronger.Gu Yunjing's body is weak, and he has been taking herbal medicines to take care of his body all the year round, and strong alcohol has entered his intestines, which has caused great damage to his body.

Xiao Muxue looked at all this quietly, she knew that Gu Yunjing's physique was not suitable for drinking strong alcohol.On the wedding night in the last bridal chamber, the son-in-law only drank a small glass of mild wine when he was bored, and he had a headache for several days, and took several days of herbal medicine to recuperate his body.

If you drink strong wine at this banquet, I am afraid that your body will suffer a lot of crimes.Xiao Muxue has always remembered Gu Yunjing's kindness to her, and she will definitely not let the son-in-law suffer this crime.

Xiao Muxue got up slowly, looked at the full wine glass, and took another look at Lu Zhong, who was gloating at other people's misfortune, and said in a frosty tone, "The son-in-law is too strong to drink, I will drink this glass of wine on behalf of my husband!"

When Lu Zhong heard it, his eyes froze, his whole body trembled, he quickly made a stop gesture, and said in a panic: "No, Your Highness, don't drink!"

Xiao Muxue raised her eyebrows lightly, her tone was still cold: "Oh, why not?"
