As the prince of Xilin, even if he meets Emperor Renxiao in Daqi Palace, he is not required to kneel down and salute. He only needs to bow and salute.
Emperor Renxiao smiled heartily and said, "Everyone, please stand up. Several princes and princesses have come from afar. Please sit down and talk quickly. Don't be polite."
The second prince smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
It can be said that this time Xilin went to Daqi to give Daqi a lot of face and dispatched all the queen's sons. At least in the eyes of the courtiers, Xilin was also showing goodwill to Daqi.
The six princes and princesses were arranged to take their seats, and their positions were relatively forward.
"The princes have come all the way to experience the local customs and customs of Daqi, as well as the delicious meals and pastries. Come, pick up your wine glasses, and let us all have a drink with me and the princes.
"Emperor Renxiao said with a smile.
The second prince glanced at his younger brothers and asked them to raise their glasses and drink.
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere became more lively.
Gradually, Emperor Renxiao also started chatting with the princes. It could be seen that he was in a good mood today and did not look too tired on his face.
Gu Hanzhang sat silently, circling the edge of the tea cup with his right index finger, and his eyes fell on the princes without any trace. His eyes were so deep that it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
At this moment, the seventh prince suddenly stood up with a wine glass in his hand and walked to the middle.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the prince of Daqi Zhenbeihou Mansion made great achievements in the military camp at a young age, and defeated the invading vassal states in the future. Moreover, I heard that the prince has an outstanding appearance and a good literary talent. He is a man with both civil and military skills. I wonder if the prince is here today.
, I want to have a drink with the Crown Prince, but I don’t know if it’s possible?” The seventh prince looked at Emperor Renxiao and said.
Emperor Renxiao laughed heartily when he heard this, "Hahaha, I didn't expect the seventh prince to know about Hanzhang, and Hanzhang is here today. Hanzhang, please get to know the seventh prince. The seventh prince is so kind, and you deserve it."
Just have a drink with him."
Gu Hanzhang came back to his senses and said, "What the emperor said is true."
With that said, Gu Hanzhang stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and walked towards the Seventh Prince.
The seventh prince's eyes fell on Gu Hanzhang, and he sighed in his heart. This prince was really unparalleled in his world. His demeanor was extraordinary. He was indeed an outstanding man.
It's a pity that the current seventh prince admires Gu Hanzhang, but after a while, he can't see anything.
"The prince is really extraordinary." The seventh prince made no secret of his admiration for Gu Hanzhang.
It was rare for Gu Hanzhang to show such a smile to someone other than Chaoli, "I'm so ashamed of myself. The seventh prince has promoted Hanzhang."
"No, the prince deserves such praise." The seventh prince said with a smile on his face.
The two of them clinked a glass and drank the wine in their hands.
At the same time, the seventh prince felt something strange in his heart.
I have always heard that the eldest son of the Gu family is unparalleled in the world, but his temperament is unpredictable. He doesn't treat his eldest daughter well. He is a cold and indifferent person who doesn't like to talk.
Now it seems that is not the case. He is clearly gentle and polite, so the rumors must be wrong.
The seventh prince returned to his seat, but Gu Hanzhang did not go back and sit down. Instead, he returned to his position, picked up the wine glass, and walked towards the princes. He lowered his body and paid tribute to the princes one by one.
Gu Hanzhang's performance surprised the courtiers of Da Qi. They did not expect that he would have such a gentle side. After all, he usually did not look good on other envoys when they visited.
The only one who knew clearly was Chaoli. She knew very well that the face Gu Hanzhang gave to the envoys in Xilin was not because he valued Xilin country more, but because these envoys were her uncles.
Even if Fang Huimin wanted to confirm Fang Yaohui's story, Gu Hanzhang had actually found out.
In other words, he knew in his heart that Fang Huimin would definitely go to Xilin.
Therefore, Chaoli will also go to Xilin.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Hanzhang would behave like this today. When Hanzhang's wife goes back, please don't blame Hanzhang for drinking too much. He is very happy today." Emperor Renxiao was also drunk and said it directly. Halfway through, he realized
Something is wrong, "However, these princes seem to be somewhat similar to Hanzhang's wife. Oh, I said the opposite, hahaha. It is Hanzhang's wife who is somewhat similar to them."
Everyone's eyes fell on Chaoli, making Chaoli feel uncomfortable all over.
The six princes in Xilin all looked at Chao Li, their eyes widened unconsciously, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes. If Chao Li's age had not matched, they would all have thought that this special Crown Princess was their eldest sister.
The second prince curled up his left hand at his side, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty is right, there are indeed some similarities."
Chao Lu's face suddenly became a little ugly. Why did his words sound so weird, as if Fang Huimin had cuckolded him.
"The world is big, and it is normal for people to have similarities."
Although Chao Lu's voice was not loud, it was relatively quiet in the banquet hall, so he could still be heard clearly.
The eyes of several princes also fell on Chao Lu. At this moment, Chao Lu was on pins and needles. It was the first time that he encountered so many frightening looks, not to mention that each of them had unusual identities.
However, it was hard for the princes to say anything to Chao Lu.
Gu Hanzhang returned to his seat silently, seemingly unaffected by the actions of the princes just now.
In fact, only he knew in his heart that he still didn't want to do this.
Shen Lianyi also came to today's banquet, but she didn't bother Gu Hanzhang at all. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she had other things on her mind.
Unexpectedly, his father would want to marry her to Lu Xiuyuan. Why should he?
That's all. What's even more annoying is that Lu Xiuyuan actually refused!
He was just a student from a poor family, and he was lucky enough to be admitted to the first prize. He was not even qualified to come to a banquet like today, but he dared to refuse to marry her!
Another point is that Shen Lianyi has already sent someone to inquire, and also learned from Chaozhen that Lu Xiuyuan's sweetheart turned out to be Chaoli.
Just thinking about this made Shen Lianyi's face look very bad.
Everyone is attracted to Chaoli, what is so good about her?
From the beginning of the banquet to now, Shen Lianyi's eyes were fixed on Chaoli, wishing to poke a hole in her.
No, Chaoli will not have an easy time today.
Or she could change the direction and attack Gu Hanzhang.
After thinking about this, Shen Lianyi calmly cast his eyes on Gu Hanzhang.
Chaoli naturally felt her gaze, but didn't take it to heart at all.
The only person who can hurt her is Gu Hanzhang. As long as Gu Hanzhang doesn't like Shen Lianyi, she doesn't care about Shen Lianyi's existence and doesn't take him seriously.
Oh, does Shen Lianyi think that she has forgotten everything?
