A bright laugh broke the silence in the hall.

Everyone was distracted and looked at the master of the voice.

It was a handsome man in a big red bullfighting suit. In the middle of November, he was holding a folding fan in his hand, which was unrestrained and unruly. It was Kang Hongda.

"The prince is late, I thought the prince is unhappy." Kang Hongda gave the emperor a step forward as if nothing had happened and changed the subject, "The prince is late, so he will have to punish himself three cups."

He said, and poured three glasses of wine on the three white wine glasses on the table with a smile, as if he and Gu Jue were friends.

The emperor's face was slightly calmer, and he felt that Kang Hongda was sympathetic to the holy will.

The others continued to watch. After all, no matter which emperor, Gu Jue or Kang Hongda, the court would be shocked. They could not afford to offend them. They would still be able to watch on the wall. They didn't even dare to say more if they didn't see him.

Chu Qianchen stared at Kang Hongda secretly, without blinking, Gu Jue almost saw that the cat's tail behind her was already furious.

"It's true that I'm not very happy." Gu Jue smiled faintly.

He fisted his right hand and put it on his lips, coughing twice in a serious manner.

“…”

“…”

“…”

No one expected Gu Jue to react like this, and they were all stunned and stunned.

The hall calmed down again.

Gu Jue didn't care about the reactions of the emperor and others, and pulled Chu Qianchen to sit down on the seats between Prince Li and Prince Rui.

After sitting down, Gu Jue raised his hand and gently pinched Chu Qianchen's left hand under the table. Once, and then again, it was like a meat pad that squeezed the cat's claws, comforting his little girl.

The little girl had already spoken, he was taking medicine and could not drink alcohol.

He really wants to drink wine today, and his little wild cat will definitely scratch those who dare to persuade him to drink.

Although she looks very cute with a fierce look, a little girl like Kang Hongda is not worthy of his cunt for him.

Gu Jue's eyelashes flashed, and he was in a surprisingly good mood.

Chu Qianchen, who was touched by Gu Jue, suddenly felt relieved all over, and his eyes looked at Gu Jue sweetened.

The prince is so obedient! Chu Qianchen silently praised him with his eyes and personally peeled an orange for him as a reward.

He has a petal, she has a petal.

The couple didn't care about everyone's examination and ate an orange in just a few seconds.

Some people were watching Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen, and some were quietly looking at Kang Hongda's face, wanting to see if he would be angry and embarrassed by Gu Jue's ignorance. However, how could Kang Hongda be so easy to lose his composure? He drank wine one cup after another, chatting and laughing calmly.

Gu Nanjin also sat down at the table, and couldn't help but look at the emperor in front again. The emperor barely went down the steps because of Kang Hongda's interruption. After he was stuffed with a glass of wine, his face became a little better.

The eunuch Ni, who was beside him, asked the emperor whether to play music at the right time, and the emperor nodded.

So, a melodious and pleasant sound of silk and bamboo sounds sounded, and a row of maki wearing a pink embroidered hibiscus flower gauze skirt walked in with the music. They all looked beautiful and had a slim figure. Even in this winter, they were only wearing thin gauze skirts.

When dancing gracefully, the hem of the skirt is like a flower blooming, and the dancing sleeves are like butterflies, like rain and fog, graceful and gentle, neat and uniform. The body of the Wuji is incredibly soft, as if walking and wandering on the lake, like poetry and painting.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the song and dance in front of them, and the palace people were well-trained to serve the guests with rich wine and dishes, shuttled back and forth, neatly and neatly.

The sky outside became darker and darker, and night fell, and there were so many cups and laughter in the hall.

Some ministers began to toast the emperor one after another, and compliments came one after another. When the emperor heard these words, he finally had a smile on his face. He gave wine and delicacies, and the guests and hosts were happy.

There are also some generals toasting Gu Jue, but Gu Jue uses tea instead of wine. He has just said, "He is not very happy." Naturally, no one dares to persuade Gu Jue to drink without eyes.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the confrontation between the emperor and Gu Jue just now, where there was no smoke.

After the song, the dance music retreated in an orderly manner.

There was a lot of warm applause in the hall, and most of the guests just applauded two or three times, but one of them plucked his palms, which attracted all the guests around to look at the person with a subtle expression.

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" The applauding person calmly let others see it, or rather, he was deliberately using it to attract other people's attention.

Prince Andaman stood up from his seat, gave a tribute to the emperor on the Golden Throne, and praised:

"The songs and dances of Daqi are very different from those of our country, and each has its own merits. I am so eye-opening to ask Your Majesty for blessings today." Andaman laughed loudly, "I respect Your Majesty for a cup."

Andaman held up a glass of wine with both hands, drank it all in one go, and turned the glass upside down to indicate that there was no drop of wine left.

The emperor was very pleased with Andaman's enthusiasm and compliments. He drank half a glass of wine with sensibility and said reservedly: "Don't be polite, prince, enjoy singing, dancing and drinking."

Andaman responded with a smile, then looked in the direction of Gu Jue, with a little scrutiny, a little suspicious, and a little speculation in his eyes.

"Your Highness," Andaman also gave Gu Jue a tribute, and his smile became deeper. "Last time, the King of Chen came to Hao Kingdom, and my emperor was deeply regretful. After I came to the capital this time, I must say hello to Your Highness, and invite Your Highness to visit Hao Kingdom again in the future if you have the chance in the future, and have a chat with you."

"I was fortunate to meet Your Highness in Hao Kingdom. Today, I can meet Your Highness again in Daqi, thousands of miles away. This is also a rare fate. I wish you a cup."

Andaman raised another glass of refilled wine and drank it all over again.

Andaman's face was full of spring breeze, looking anxious to reminisce with Gu Jue. In comparison, Gu Jue's expression was faint and cold as water.

Gu Jue didn't get up, and picked up the teacup in front of him and touched his lips, even if he was giving a gift.

He behaves gracefully, like a humble gentleman, and at the same time he is extremely contemptuous, with a kind of frivolity that looks down on the world, just say that he doesn't take Andaman seriously.

Andaman's face changed slightly, even the Emperor of Great Qi was not so contemptuous to him.

If he hadn't witnessed the confrontation between Gu Jue and the emperor with his own eyes, and knew that Gu Jue would not even give the emperor's face, Andaman might have asked the emperor to suppress Gu Jue at this moment.

Andaman looked at Gu Jue, remembering the instructions of Emperor Hao Uhaduluo, and suppressing his displeasure.

He smiled again and said with a joking tone: "This time I came to the capital, I heard that His Highness Chen has married the princess, it's a pity."

"The fourth princess of our country has been fond of martial arts since childhood. She knows His Highness the deeds of His Highness Chen. This time she pestered me and said that she wanted to come to Daqi to meet His Highness Chen for a while. My emperor originally agreed, but unfortunately, the queen happened to be unwell before leaving, so the fourth princess couldn't come."

Finally, he also emphasized that "What a pity" again, and this tone was meaningful.

Anyone who is not stupid can hear that the fourth princess of Hao Kingdom admires Gu Jue, and Emperor Hao intends to be in the Qin and Jin dynasties.

The originally lively atmosphere in the hall became cold again, and the expressions of the guests became very stiff.

The emperor subconsciously pinched the wine glass, his fingers stretched tightly, almost crushing the wine glass.

Eunuch Ni was sweating coldly on his forehead, and he was really afraid that the emperor would smash the wine glass out in anger. Over the past few days, the emperor's temper has become worse and worse, and he will lose control at any time.

The emperor's face was as deep as water, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line. He felt that these Hao people were really greedy. On the one hand, they wanted to win over him, the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, and let the princess of Hao Kingdom, marry him, and on the other hand, they wanted to marry their Hao Kingdom's princess to Gu Jue.

The Hao people wanted to bet on both sides, because they were afraid that if Gu Jue learned to rebel against Uhaduluo, would their Hao Kingdom still have a good relationship with Daqi?!

The emperor was so angry that he gritted his teeth for Uhaduluo, and was more worried, afraid that Gu Jue would agree.

This is a test by Nan Hao people and a tactful show of kindness.

If he were Gu Jue, he would of course agree that this princess of Nan Hao, the daughter of Uhaduluo, is much better than a mere concubine!

Most of the other guests in the hall were looking at Gu Jue, speculating whether Gu Jue would accept the kindness expressed by Emperor Hao.

Someone also glanced at Chu Qianchen beside Gu Jue, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

After all, Princess Chen's identity is too low, so the envoy of Nanhao dared to say such words in such a noble manner.

If King Chen really intends to divorce his wife and remarry, Princess Chen can only bear it. She suddenly died suddenly, which means she died in an unknown way. How could such a desolate residence in the Yongding Marquis' Mansion go to King Chen for justice for a mere concubine daughter?

Therefore, it is inevitable that this marriage is of equal status. The status of the two parties is too different. One of them is an ant that allows the other party to step on, and you can abandon it at will.

Chu Qianchen seemed to have suddenly realized it, and slowly peeled the oranges.

In the eyes of some people who are interested, I just think that she is worthy of King Chen to peel oranges and become a maid.

The surroundings are quieter.

"Fourth Princess?" Gu Jue raised his sword eyebrows, "As far as I know, Emperor Hao has only one big princess, where did the fourth princess come from?"

“…”

“…”

“…”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly took a sharp turn because of this sentence.

Most people don’t know how many princesses there are in Hao Kingdom, but there are also a few people, such as officials of the Ministry of Rites, who have passed away, only three sons and one daughter.

Obviously, the Emperor Hao in Gu Jue's mouth was not referring to Uhaduluo.

This means that he does not recognize Uhaduluo as the new emperor of Hao Kingdom.

"..." Andaman certainly knew that the person Gu Jue was talking about was the late emperor, and his face suddenly became gloomy, like ink.

Gu Jue had just been to Hao Kingdom, and he could not have known that the king on the throne is Uhaduluo.

So, Gu Jue said this on purpose.

Gu Jue actually gave them the shameless country of Hao!

Andaman stood there like a stone sculpture.

But Gu Nanjin felt that Gu Jue's response was so happy. He looked in the direction of the emperor without any trace, his eyes flashing.

The father asked the second emperor's brother Gu Nanzhao to entertain the envoy of Nanhao to make his mother very unhappy, but Gu Nanjin actually thought it was good.

Hao was in chaos and Uhaduluo forced the palace to rebel. Even if he ascended the throne, he could only be regarded as a pseudo-emperor. Only when he firmly sat in the Nanhao country could he be recognized by the surrounding countries and be recorded in history as the name of Emperor Hao.
