Prince Pingnan Hou's words were frivolous and full of provocation.
His father, Marquis Ping Nan, was a military general, and he admired King Ding very much. In the past, he always praised King Ding in a fancy way at home. Every day when he saw his own son, he would sigh that he was not as good as King Ding, or look at him with eyes that hated iron.
After many years, Prince Pingnan Hou had already heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, now that he is peeking at this opportunity, how can he let it go.
"However, I heard that King Ding has a lot of crimes, and people hate ghosts. It's still a question whether the white tiger can be raised or not. The son asked King Ding to lead the tiger out for a competition. Isn't it difficult for someone to do so?"
Gu Jiuxiao sat lazily beside Qin Gentiana. Although they brought Longya, they were not as enthusiastic about the competition as these young boys. He was unmoved by the words of these young boys.
In addition, he has a very good relationship with the parents of these boys, so he doesn't care about their provocation.
King Ding ignored their gestures so much, and Prince Pingnanhou was quite unwilling to see it. He glanced at Pingnanhou who was pleased to see King Ding, and felt that the anger in his heart was rising, "Your Highness refuses to fight, can't you afford to lose!"
In his rage, he didn't control the volume, so that everyone in the room looked over.
Even Emperor Sheng Yuan on the stage cast his gaze over, but what he looked at was not King Ding, but Gentiana Qin.
He wanted to see what would happen to Gentiana Qin even if King Ding was so cowardly that he didn't dare to compete.
But Qin Gentiana showed no displeasure or embarrassment on his face, he seemed to be smiling and whispered something in Gu Jiuxiao's ear, which drew Ding Wang's soft and helpless look.
A trace of disappointment and resentment could not help flashing in Emperor Shengyuan's heart, and he said in a deep voice, "Since it is Bei Ze Jinxian, King Ding, you let someone bring the white tiger, even if it's not a match, it's good to let them have feelings everywhere."
Lu Yuanchong said with a smile, "The emperor is absolutely right!"
Pingnan Hou Shizi couldn't help but glanced at King Ding proudly.
The smile on Gu Jiuxiao's face faded, he lowered his eyes and sneered, but in public, he couldn't disobey his father, so he stood up and said, "I obey."
Long Ya's temperament is extremely loose and weird, fearing that the palace people might not be able to handle it, Gu Jiuxiao had no choice but to go there in person.
He wanted to pull Qin Gentian together, but he was really worried about leaving her alone beside Emperor Shengyuan, but before he could say anything, he saw the eldest princess had already sat down beside Qin Gentian.
Seeing that the two chatted as if no one was around, Gu Jiuxiao's eyes flickered, so he had no choice but to stop thinking about taking people away, and led a few people to the animal garden.
Many female relatives were extremely curious about the legendary white tiger, and they followed behind to watch.
"Isn't the eldest princess going to see the white tiger?" Looking at the group of rambunctious women, Qin Geng turned his head to look at Gu Yan who was sitting beside him, and inadvertently collided with the hot gaze from the queen, both of them were startled.
The queen turned her eyes away first, and the gentle but difficult eyes were fixed on the eldest princess, which seemed like an accident by coincidence.
Qin Gentian looked away suspiciously, and casually twirled the cup in his hand with his fingertips.
Gu Yan was startled when he heard the words, and smiled bitterly, "I want to see the white tiger, but what I want to see more is its owner... But she... is no longer here..."
His voice was low and full of pain, which made Qin Geng feel uncomfortable for some reason.
"The dead are gone, and the living are always more important than the dead."
"Also please take care of your health, the eldest princess."
Gu Yan lowered his eyes and smiled wryly, when someone bumped his shoulder lightly, he was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and when he saw the person coming, his pupils could not help shrinking, before his expression changed, the person had already smiled and took down the two bowls of lotus seed soup on the tray, and put a bowl in front of one of them, respectfully, "The lotus seed soup offered by the empress, the eldest princess and Princess Ding can chat while drinking."
As the man spoke, he respectfully stood by Gu Yan's side.
Gu Yan stared at his face, his heart couldn't help beating wildly, he turned around stiffly, looked down at the lotus seed soup in front of him, with a complicated expression.
He will never admit his mistake, this is a Ke Qing beside King Jing who is very good at medicine and knows how to disguise, how could he sneak into the hunting ground
