The Xiao Kingdom has been fighting continuously in recent years, and its national strength has been damaged a lot.However, Princess Zhao's birthday was still arranged extremely extravagantly and luxuriously, and the scale of the birthday banquet was comparable to that of a princess on her wedding day.

Prince Zhao's Mansion is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital.At noon that day, there was a lot of traffic and a sea of ​​people in front of the palace gate.After the former prince Xiao Zhan was abolished, King Zhao Xiao Cong was the most popular candidate to take over the heir apparent, and now the ministers of the court and the central government are clinging to King Zhao's sect.At the birthday banquet of Concubine Zhao, all civil and military officials from the Manchu dynasty came to congratulate her.

Xiao Cong was dressed in a fine attire, standing at the door with a spring breeze, welcoming the birthday guests.Seeing the endless stream of guests, he became more and more joyful.The more people celebrating his birthday, the more powerful he is.

Xiao Cong's brows darkened slightly when he saw the son-in-law who came in a hurry.After all, today is a festive day, no matter how much he hates Gu Yunjing, he can't show face to face to the son-in-law, he has to pretend to be welcome no matter what.

"Master Consort, long time no see. Why didn't you see sister Xue'er?" Xiao Cong laughed.Of course, this smile is not a sincere one, it belongs to the kind of superficial smile.

Gu Yunjing moved her lips and smiled faintly: "Yes, it's been a long time. Her Royal Highness has not recovered from her injuries and is recuperating, so it's inconvenient to come to congratulate her."

As soon as Gu Yunjing finished speaking, Lu Lin's laughter came from behind.Xiao Cong was busy welcoming Lu Lin, leaving Gu Yunjing aside like air.

"Today is Princess Zhao's birthday, and the old minister came here with his dog to congratulate her." Lu Lin respectfully handed over an exquisite box, "A night pearl, a small gift, I hope His Highness Zhao Wang will not dislike it."

"Old Duke, you are being polite. This gift is so expensive, how can I dislike it? Duke, please come inside quickly." Lu Lin is a powerful figure, and many important officials look up to him.

Xiao Cong had long wanted to draw Lu Lin into his camp, but the Duke of the State had always stood on a neutral point of view.Taking advantage of this opportunity today, Xiao Cong is bound to win over Lu Lin.

Lu Lin said again: "In addition to Ye Mingzhu, Quanzi also has gifts to congratulate. Zhong'er, hurry up and present the congratulations."

"Yes." Lu Zhong presented the gift, and said respectfully to Xiao Cong: "My minister Lu Zhong presents an emerald and pearl pendant."

The gift from the Lu family father and son was extremely heavy, and Xiao Cong showed a satisfied smile: "I have a heart, and I invite you two."

Lu Zhong glanced viciously at the son-in-law standing aside, he snorted coldly, and said in a strange voice: "Hey, isn't this the son-in-law? Why are you standing aside dryly?"

He glanced at the gift in Gu Yunjing's hand, and said mockingly: "Today is Princess Zhao's birthday banquet. I wonder what precious gift the son-in-law has prepared? We, the courtiers, even offer generous gifts. The son-in-law is a relative of the emperor. It must be a grand gift."

"Young Master Lu thinks highly of me. The gift I prepared is very ordinary. The Zhenyuan Hou Mansion has always been poor, how can it compare to the Duke's Mansion in terms of financial resources?" Gu Yunjing said coldly.

The two faced each other tit for tat, and their words were full of pinching each other.Xiao Cong was too lazy to come out to smooth things over, he had been looking at Gu Yunjing disliked, and if someone scolded his son-in-law, it could be regarded as helping him to vent his anger.

As for Lu Lin, his son was worried about not marrying Her Highness the Princess, and he held his breath in his heart. If burying Gu Yunjing could make Lu Zhong feel at ease, Lu Lin would naturally follow his son.

Just as the two were pinching each other, the eunuch's male voice sounded from behind.

"Your Majesty is here! The empress is here! The imperial concubine is here!" Chen Huaisheng called out.

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to salute, Xiao Guan was in a good mood, so he avoided everyone's salute, walked quickly towards the palace with Concubine Li on his arm, and the queen slowly followed behind them.

The emperor was already at the table, Lu Lin gave Lu Zhong a wink, and he didn't want to hate Gu Yunjing anymore.Suddenly flicking his sleeves, he followed Lu Lin and walked to the seat.

Xiao Guan sat on the top seat, civil and military officials sat on the side seats, and the monarchs and ministers talked and laughed at Yan Yan's festive appearance.Gu Yunjing chose the most partial seat to take a seat. She played with her fingers calmly, expecting a wonderful performance in her heart.

Caiyue has been secretly observing every move outside the inn. After Lu Zhong left, Caiyue had already tried to lure away the people from the Lu family and rescued Suqiu.Therefore, Gu Yunjing already knew that Lu Zhongfu had taken Chun. Xin. Moved, and she was waiting to see Lu Zhong's fate today!

The wine in the purple pot is warm and mellow.Princess Zhao wore a golden hairpin and dragged a long red skirt, appearing in front of everyone with a smiling face.Although Qian's appearance is not considered to be overpowering, it is not uncommon, and this attire makes her even more glamorous.Thousands of eyes are focused on Concubine Zhao, she is really in the limelight today.

According to the customs of the Xiao Kingdom, on today's birthday, Princess Zhao needs to toast to all the ministers.Mrs. Qian walked in front, followed by a few maidservants holding wine jugs.

"I respect my father, my mother and my concubine." Mrs. Qian bowed slightly, toasted Xiao Guan and Concubine Li respectively.After paying homage to the two, she offered a symbolic toast to the queen.It can be said that the queen's dignity was completely crushed by Concubine Li Gui.

"My lord, please."

"Master Jiang, please."

"Master Li, please."

…………

Xiao Zhan and Gu Yunjing, one is the county king and the other is the son-in-law. No matter how they can't get into the eyes of Zhao Wang and his wife, they are relatives of the emperor after all, and their status is higher than those ministers.According to the order, after Princess Zhao finished toasting the emperor, queen and noble concubine, she should toast to the son-in-law and King An next.But Princess Zhao is fine, she cleverly bypassed these two.

Gu Yunjing gave Xiao Zhan a wink, and smiled meaningfully. Of course Xiao Zhan understood why she was smiling.Since Princess Zhao did not come to toast, Xiao Zhan lightly shrugged his shoulders, picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Gu Yunjing's.

Gu Yunjing took a sip of the wine, put down the cup, and slowly stroked the palm of his hand.She counted the numbers silently in her heart: one, two, three... nine, ten...

After counting ten numbers, Princess Zhao happened to be toasting Lu Zhong, and Gu Yunjing's cold smile swept over the two of them.

Princess Zhao came to toast in person, and Lu Zhong was naturally very happy.He stood up and saluted, and after saying some words of congratulations, he wriggled his Adam's apple and drank it down in one gulp.

Princess Zhao smiled with satisfaction, and just as she was about to toast to the next person, Lu Zhong's claws stretched out towards her at this very moment.She was unprepared, Lu Zhong's hand just happened to land on her twin peaks impartially.

"Ah! You!" Princess Zhao trembled, staring at Lu Zhong, her whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and she was as dull as a piece of wood.At this moment, apart from trembling, she had no thoughts at all.

It wasn't just Princess Zhao who was shocked, Lu Zhong's absurd behavior almost caused an uproar in the audience, and everyone present felt incredible.

Lu Zhong was born in a famous family, he was a good-looking talent, he was a bit arrogant in the past.But no one expected that the majestic prince of the country would be so dirty, dirty, unbearable, and sanctimonious.

"Little beauty, here I come!" Lu Zhong looked at Qian sensually, twisting his buttocks, shaking his body, with saliva dripping from his mouth from time to time.This disgusting face makes people want to vomit.

Ordinary people will have hallucinations after eating spring.It is conceivable how shameless and obscene Lu Zhong usually is.

Hallucinations appeared in Lu Zhong's mind, he took the Princess Zhao in front of him as Su Qiu, and wished he could immediately throw himself on Qian Shi to vent his anger.

Gu Yunjing raised her eyebrows, folded her hands in her sleeves, and smiled. While watching this good show with great interest, she nodded from time to time.Obviously, Lu Zhong's performance was better and more exciting than she imagined.

"Beast! This king will not spare you!" Xiao Cong immediately jumped out of the mat and kicked Lu Zhong's crotch hard.Lu Lin wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Zhao Wang learned martial arts from his uncle Qin She since he was a child, and he is the best husband among the princes.Lu Zhong was just a playboy whose body had been hollowed out, but he couldn't stand Xiao Cong's forceful kick, especially when it was aimed at the very root of his life.

Lu Zhong covered his lower body and screamed fiercely. The sound was definitely no less than the sound of killing a pig.He rolled on the ground in pain, and beads of sweat rolled down.Sometimes his face is pale, sometimes his face is blue.

Xiao Cong didn't feel relieved yet, so he was going to mend a few more times.Seeing this, Lu Lin stretched out his body and hurriedly stood in front of Lu Zhong.Kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed and said: "His Royal Highness Zhao calm down, no matter how ignorant my son is, he will not offend Princess Zhao in public. I beg your highness to forgive me, there must be something wrong with this matter, after the old minister finds out what happened , Lv Zhong let His Highness dispose of him, and the veteran has no complaints."

Seeing that Xiao Cong was unmoved, Lu Lin kowtowed to Xiao Guan again, weeping: "I beg Your Majesty to be merciful, the old minister begs Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty."

Xiao Guan frowned, his expression was terrifyingly dignified.Lu Lin was his teacher, who had taught him earnestly for decades. He was able to become emperor at the beginning, thanks to Lu Lin's scheme.Seeing his former mentor kneeling on the ground, Xiao Guan felt very complicated.

The emperor supported his forehead with his hands, and he couldn't help but recall the way Lu Lin taught him back then.After the contemplation meeting, Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice: "Cong'er, don't take it out on Lu Zhong. I also think that Lu Zhong is not such a shameless person. This matter is indeed a bit strange."

Gu Yunjing shook her head lightly, can this be protected?It seems that the emperor's heart is really out of bounds.

"Father..." Xiao Cong refused to accept, he tried his best to say, "Father, Lv Zhong, in front of all civil and military officials, blasphemed Princess Zhao, if you just let him go like this, what face will you have? Where is the royal face?"

"Father, my son, I beg you to grant Lu Zhong a death!" Xiao Cong knelt on the ground and pleaded earnestly.

When it comes to the face of the royal family, Xiao Guan and Lu Lin's father and son's heart was shaken. He looked at the tearful Lu Lin, and looked at the aggrieved King Zhao, and couldn't make a decision for a while.

At this time, Tao Shen, Marquis of Wu'an, stood up.

"Your Majesty, Lu Zhong blatantly offended Princess Zhao and trampled on the face of the royal family. If this can be forgiven, then I am afraid that the face of the royal family will be trampled on in the future."

Xiao Guan was furious and slammed the table hard, causing the wine to fall over the glass.

"Bold, the majesty of the royal family is sacred and inviolable. I want to see who has the courage to dare to despise the majesty of the Tian family!"
