Gu Linjiang's invitation was sent over after a day's interval, and Court Lady Gu looked at the invitation in the person's hand and felt a bit ridiculous, and Gu Linjiang really didn't have anything else to do, so he came up with this plan, using this winter banquet as an excuse to invite Shen Zhongbai to the prime minister's mansion, and at the same time, banqueting all the ministers in the court, and he must have wanted to take the opportunity to send Gu Zhiying back to the palace.

Gu Qiang held the invitation in her hand and waved it in front of Shen Qianshan, "See? Gu Linjiang, this old fox, even without your approval, has the same way to make that Shen Zhongbai honestly take Gu Zhiying home, you can't be unconvinced of that, can you?"

Gu Qiang actually did not want to irony Shen Qianshan's intention, just, in fact, her heart is more or less some imbalance, they have suffered so much aggression for no reason, and Gu ZhiPu is only a few days of confinement, Gu Linjiang also used such a big row, just to let her can go back to the palace. If it wasn't for the fact that Court Lady Gu understood in her heart that Gu Linjiang was only treating his daughters as pawns to consolidate his position, she was afraid that her heart would really be a little unbalanced.

"How about it, do you want to go?" Court Lady Gu sighed helplessly, she obviously already knew that this trip must be a Hongmen Banquet, but the invitation had already been sent to her doorstep, so she couldn't not go.

Shen Qianshan frowned, "No go no go." Shen Qianshan had always disliked that kind of socializing scene, not to mention that this time he had miscalculated and that's why it had turned into such a situation, wouldn't he be breaking his face if he went over now?

"I won't go, you don't have to go either." Shen Qianshan felt uninterested, he had already discussed with Gu Huai'an and the two of them about how exactly to make Ye reveal his footsteps as soon as possible, but he didn't want to see that Gu Linjiang had already come up with the method of letting Gu Zhiying rejoin the palace so quickly, which had really caught the two of them off guard.

"That won't do, it's already written here that the Emperor will also go, and this invitation clearly answers to my name, even if you don't go, the Nine Kings' House must send out someone to go over there, or else it will inevitably fall into disrepute."

Since everyone is in the situation, Gu Qiang is naturally not afraid that someone will dare to do something to herself in plain sight, since Gu Linjiang has already put down his stature to invite himself to go over, he is also so much more preoccupied, "Why don't you do it this way, I'll go over there, and let Qibai follow me around, he'll still be able to protect me next to me, and you'll be able to rest assured of some of that as well. "

Shen Qianshan hesitated a little, but still agreed, "Then fine, let him follow you over there if there is anything, don't stay there much, there is always nothing wrong to come back earlier." Shen Qianshan did not have so many thoughts, recently this period of time, the things in his hands are indeed not ordinary, earlier to deal with these things, he can also be at ease.

Court Lady Gu didn't have any other ideas, but simply wanted to go and see how Gu Zhiying, who had been sent out of the palace, had been taken back by Shen Zhongbai.

Gu court ladies came to the prime minister's residence, only to find that today's Gu Linjiang, really is under some thought, the whole Gu family is now up and down was taken care of a new look, they came in a moment there is an illusion, is this place is not at all their own oppressed by so many years of place.

"Heh, that's ridiculous."

Since Shen Zhongbai had already received the invitation, there was no way she wouldn't show up, but she had always hated this state of being led by the nose, Gu Linjiang was always a smart ass, and this time he had directly written on the invitation that the emperor would be there in person. This was the ministers all watching themselves, if she really didn't show up, it wasn't just Gu Linjiang who would be disgraced.

"His Majesty arrives--" this kind of sharp dragging long tone, Gu Qiang court officials are more than familiar with, he put down the hands of the small pastries, stood in place, Shen Zhongbai in a reddish-violet color clothes, but it is very obvious temperament appearance, the expression on the face seems to be even more indifferent than before, the Maybe it is a long time in a high position, always have to board a face to people, so even the previous kind of fake smile are too lazy to keep it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister greets the Holy Driver." Gu Linjiang instead piled on a fake smile, the folds on his face practically overflowing, "Your Majesty's great presence, there is a loss to welcome."

"What to say there is a loss of far welcome hi is not out of the ordinary? Prime Minister Gu has not already written on the invitation, I will personally come?" Shen Zhongbai also simply do not and Gu Linjiang have what to hide, directly expressed his dissatisfaction. "Prime Minister Gu is more and more will guess the holy intention, even even my thoughts. Have gotten it all clear."

Gu Linjiang was now sort of pretending to be confused, in short, in order for Gu Zhiying to be able to return to the palace faster, what was it worth for him to do these things?

"Your majesty is joking, guessing the holy will, how can this kind of thing be done by these subjects of mine?" Gu Linjiang didn't dare to have any more licentiousness, this time I'm afraid that even if he had any more means, he would definitely be written down by Shen Zhongbai for this one.

Court lady Gu did not care too much about Shen Zhongbai over there, now he and he has no relationship between the half, they really do not care about him at all, but just want to see a hilarious, Gu Linjiang this time is also considered to be the blood of the child, let his men those martial arts better guards, one by one on the stage to fight, they put a thousand taels of silver as a bet, but attracted a lot of the imperial court The minister's attention.

Court lady Gu then watched the fight in the ring with interest, it is really strange to say, a prime minister, with a thousand taels of silver, just to have fun, is it not corrupt enough? Shen Zhongbai who is the emperor could even look on, it is hard to believe that he is really prepared to give Gu Linjiang a big account, when the time comes to have a good reckoning with him?

Originally was looking at the side of the Gu court ladies, but suddenly for no reason feel a cold back, do not know exactly how it is, funds today Ming Ming brotherin out ah's not less, the meal in the house, but also has been feeling people, how now suddenly feel as if behind the back of the people have always been staring at their own as she subconsciously turned back to look at the back of the room, but found that behind the back of the majority of the people who are watching as much as they are watching the people, today Gu Linjiang is also to pick up a head to send Gu Zhiying back to the palace, so will do such a thing, is not to let Shen Zhongbai notice this place, they are also happy to be at ease, is nothing more than to sell a person's love, appear at this banquet, show a face.

Court Lady Gu scanned the week, the only one who was looking at her side was a very inconspicuous looking little servant, think about it, an ordinary servant, how would he dare to keep staring at himself? It must be that she thought too much, perhaps because of this period of time pregnant, female court lady Gu has always felt that she is suspicious, will always suspect their side will not suddenly poison themselves, think about it is also really ridiculous.

Shen Zhongbai was standing not far behind himself at this time, looking at his cold face, Gu Qiang suddenly felt that she was a bit ridiculous and humble, if she could not see her own final end, I am afraid that up to now, she is still dead set on following Shen Zhongbai's side, she has always been living for Shen Zhongbai, but she did not realize that, from the beginning to the end, she was just a pawn in his hands.

Since he had been able to change his fate, it was impossible for him to continue to get close to Shen Zhongbai, and today's matter was just then his last act of kindness to help Gu Zhiying, and since he was genuinely fond of Shen Zhongbai's words, helping her was just as good as helping her, and he only hoped that she wouldn't be so nosy in the future, and wouldn't go through all the trouble of framing himself again. Ah?

Watching the people on the stage lose one by one, the guests gradually lost interest, after all, today Gu Linjiang banquet are mostly ministers of the dynasty, military generals are still relatively few, so in fact, very few people are interested in this kind of martial arts program.

"Since there's no one else willing to come up and try for the martial arts portion anymore, we're going to start the civil combat portion now."

Gu Linjiang is really a master who can seize the moment, seeing the lack of interest of the guests present, he hurriedly moved out of his own treasure of the town box, no one in seven or eight years can neatly pair of pairs.

Court Lady Gu knew that every time a banquet was held in the Prime Minister's residence, Gu Linjiang would bring out this treasure of his town, and she had to admit that Gu Linjiang did have a literary talent, so his pairs, indeed, very few people were able to pair them up, but this time she was considered to be planting herself in her own hands because of the pairs, and even he himself was not able to think of a neat pair.

Gu Linjiang mouth said what let everyone free play, say neat pair, in fact, there are times, Gu Linjiang may also just want to know, exactly how to put this pair of public neat, right?

Court Lady Gu had long since lost interest in banquets, and such scenes of officialdom mingling and responding to each other's cities were really not suitable for her.

Court Lady Gu turned to look at the two old courtiers playing chess on the other side, these two old men were considered to be two of the more pedantic people in the court. So they really couldn't play with others, so they had to sit in the small pavilion next to them and fiddle with their own chess games. To be honest, in such cold weather, the two old men just came up with such a way to pass the time because they had to stay outside.

"This is bad, it seems like it's really into a deadlock." One of the old men seemed to be frowning, as if the game of chess between the two was in a stalemate, and there was no way for either of the two to be able to come up with any countermeasures anymore, which was a bit bad.
