royal palace

Drinking and drinking, singing and dancing.

As the man in bright yellow dragon robe appeared, everyone stood up and saluted.

Emperor Hui was not angry and was proud of himself. He sat down on the main seat and exempted himself from the courtesy of everyone.

The music of silk and bamboo orchestra continues.

Queen Chi sat next to him, and beside him was Prince Zhou Huan, who had not been seen for a long time.

Maybe he knew it was embarrassing, but he was very honest at the moment.

Zhou Yuan looked at all the men of suitable age nearby, except for the unattainable Gu Huaizhi. Indeed, Mu Hansheng was the best candidate.

Although she did not meet the requirements of her husband, she still barely qualified.

Zhou Yuan thought, Mu Hansheng was born with good luck, and with this luck, he got a big advantage.

Mu Hansheng was always vigilant, and his face turned dark when he noticed the unobtrusive gaze.

The people on the side were immediately concerned and asked softly: "General Mu, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Hansheng suppressed his annoyance and came up with the words at his fingertips: "When I saw Gu Huaizhi, I became angry. Who can show me that lofty virtue?"

Everyone: Oh, that’s it.

Eunuch Zhao was waiting at Emperor Hui's side, raising his voice in a high-pitched voice.

"Xuan, the envoys of the foreign countries are here to see you."

Ruan Zhen sat with Sheng Wan in his arms.

Hearing this, I held my breath for a moment, and seven or eight rugged men in strange clothes entered, performing rituals that did not belong to the celestial dynasty.

"Long live my king."

Emperor Hui was in great spirits. He greeted the Emperor of Fan Kingdom and said with a smile, "Envoy of Fan Kingdom, please take a seat."

It was Ruan Zhen's first appearance on an important occasion, and since the Duke's palace was so prominent, all the female family members present were watching.

Some of the family members were sitting far away and chatting quietly.

"What the Chinese say is really awkward."

"It's also awkwardly long."

"Hey, sitting next to the Madam of the Duke's Mansion is Ruan Zhen? Why is she dressed so shabbily? She really is a petty person, dressing up like this for such an occasion!"

"Isn't it just that she is more beautiful, what else can she do?"

Someone with sharp eyes and cautious eyes immediately interrupted: "Shh! Don't die. How dare you say such things! When she walked over here just now, I took a serious look. Just the hairpin on her head is bigger than yours.

It’s still expensive! Not to mention the piece of jade around your waist.”

"..." The person who spoke in front choked.

Emperor Hui was chatting with his envoys.

This way

The general's wife had pink eye since she saw Ruan Zhen next to Sheng Wan.

She also wants a girl with such looks as her daughter-in-law!!!

She sighed.

When Mu Hansheng heard this, he asked helplessly.

"What's going on?"

The general's wife said quietly: "It's okay, I just thought that when I get married, I will be as charming and charming as I am."

Mu Hansheng:...This can't prompt marriage, can only boast?

"Ruan Zhen!" Mu Jiu's eyes lit up when she saw Ruan Zhen, and she immediately covered her mouth and shouted.

It seems that it was a special arrangement made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs after getting Emperor Hui's wishes. There were only a few seats between the two offices.

Ruan Zhen looked towards the source of the sound and smiled.

Just as she was about to say hello, Gu Huaizhi turned her head back.

Gu Huaizhi's voice was not low: "No one in the General's Mansion is a good person, so please stay away from me."

Over there, Mu Hansheng held a folding fan and slapped the back of Mu Jiu's hand hard.

"What are you looking at? Those gangsters from the Gu family, what do you want to see?"

As he spoke, he stood up.

Dressed in a purple brocade robe, his back as straight as a pine tree, he held a glass of wine and strode closer with a cold face, stopping in front of Gu Huaizhi.

Gu Huaizhi was sitting, while he was standing, but his momentum was no less impressive.

Mu Hansheng looked at him condescendingly.

"Gu Huaizhi, I see you have been unhappy for a long time."

Everyone looked over.

With these words, the situation became tense and out of control.

Gu Huaizhi smiled when he heard this and raised his eyes slightly casually.

His tone was neither salty nor bland, and he obviously didn't take Mu Hansheng seriously.

"Then why are you leaning in front of me? Why, are you eager to propose a toast?"

Mu Han was so angry that he was about to throw wine on him.

"Hansheng! Come back." At this moment, Mu Youde stopped him in a deep voice.

Emperor Hui was happy to see this, and he would never have stopped him if the envoys hadn't been watching.

"Boy from the Mu family, sit back for me!"

Mu Hansheng seemed to have taken it into consideration, so he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

He said harshly, "Gu Huaizhi, what's going on between you and me is not over yet."

Gu Huaizhi breathed out slowly.

"Oh, got it."

After saying that, he paused: "You can get out."

Ruan Zhen:...Awesome.

No famous actor in Lin'an can compare with these two people.

Ruan Zhen thought the drama ended here.

Little did she know that everything had just begun.

As soon as Sheng Wan entered the palace, he set his sights. Naturally, it was not for Ruan Zhen.

Ruan Zhen ate snacks and looked at the people around her to say hello to Sheng Wan.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and the lady of the Duke's mansion is getting better and better."

Sheng Wan held his position and glanced at the smiling lady.

Gao Leng: "Yeah."

"I wonder which shop bought the hairpin in Madam's hair?"

The flattery of the other party is obvious.

It was just for the sake of getting along, definitely not really asking about the hairpin, Sheng Wan was not interested in it.

"Don't ask, you won't be able to afford it even if you ask."

With that said, he turned to Ruan Zhen and said.

"We don't know when the banquet will end, and it will take some time before the dishes are passed around. Don't hold back. Eat some fruits and snacks first. Don't starve yourself."

"yes."

Ruan Zhen held back her laughter.

The dim sum in the palace is well-deserved.

She took a fancy to the rose cake on the table and was about to reach out to take it.

But someone was one step ahead of her.

It's Gu Huaizhi.

The man pursed his lips and performed familiar movements, slowly and rhythmically putting one piece of snack after another into his purse.

After loading one pile, I moved on to another plate.

Ruan Zhen looked sideways at him.
