As soon as Jing Wangfu took his seat, he raised his eyes and saw Princess Ding Qin Gentiana. At that moment, he felt a pain somewhere, and instinctively clamped his legs.
Gentiana Qin sensitively sensed a wave of malice from the other side. She looked up, but only saw a thin man who was talking with someone.
She stared at the man for a moment, maybe she was looking too seriously, but Gu Jiuxiao couldn't bear it and stretched out her hand to pull her face back.
He suppressed the jealousy in his heart, and said lightly, "King Jing is old enough to be your father, and he is only so tall, what's so good about it."
"King Jing?"
Qin Gentiana was stunned, "Why have you never heard of it before?"
"That is a king with a different surname entrusted by the ancestors. He has been guarding the border between Dongyao and Nanyue for the ancestors. This time, the emperor's grandfather is celebrating his birthday, so he was summoned back to Beijing."
Gu Jiuxiao explained to her in a low voice, endured it, and said, "Why are you paying so much attention to King Jing? Is it possible that you don't like a handsome, young and strong man like me, so you must like old men like King Jing."
Those words were so sour that Qin Gentiana almost lost his teeth.
She gave him a helpless look, pulled his collar closer to her, put her thin lips next to his ear, and gritted her teeth, "Shut up, you."
The two are very close at this moment, their necks intersect, and they breathe each other.
Gu Jiuxiao coughed softly, the roots of his ears were stained with blood, and he really shut up.
When Gentiana Qin let go of him, he pretended to pour some fruit wine for Gentiana Qin, and refused to comment on the whispers around him that his wife was strict.
Liu Yaona never expected that Prince Ding was so naive in private, and he was quite jealous. She was so surprised by the contrast that she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Inevitably being noticed by King Ding, she had no choice but to stay away from Gentiana Qin, and still further away.
Unexpectedly, the one sitting on the other side was Kang Wang, who was alone. Seeing her approaching him, he immediately looked over with bright eyes.
Liu Yaona paused, then sat back beside Qin Geng without any trace.
The look in Kang Wang's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head and stared at the table in a daze.
At the banquet, many officials who were about to marry their daughters had already set their sights on the backyards of several princes. Now that Prince Ding is a strict wife, King Kang still cares about the divorced former Princess Kang.
Many adults and wives had no choice but to cover their hearts, that's all, it is more reliable to catch a son-in-law at the time of the imperial examination.
"The envoy of Kitazawa is here..."
The eunuch sang a promise, Lu Yuanchong, the fifteenth prince of Beize, and Lu Yuanyuan, the princess, came to the scene.
Lu Yuanchong was gentle and elegant, and greeted with a smile all the way. When he passed by the Dingguo mansion, he glanced at Zhang Lihua as if there was nothing in his eyes, smiled again, and led Lu Yuanyuan to the seat all the way to sit down.
He already knew at this moment that the one extra person in Prince Ding's Mansion that day was Zhang Lihua from Duke Ding's Mansion.
Zhang Qingfeng also swaggered among Beize's envoys, he had betrayed his family for decades, many people no longer remembered what he looked like, only some elderly people still remembered.
But when they saw Duke Ding sitting with a big horse and a golden sword, they regarded Zhang Qingfeng as nothing, obviously they didn't intend to recognize this son, everyone made no promises, naturally they didn't dare to say anything more.
"Concubine Shu is here, Princess Eldest is here..."
Suddenly, he sang a promise, which attracted everyone's attention.
The eldest princess, who hadn't appeared in front of people all the year round, actually went to the banquet.
Where everyone looked, they saw the Eldest Princess dressed in a moon-white brocade dress and wearing a gauze cap galloping towards her. He was beside Concubine Shu. He was two and a half heads taller than Concubine Shu. He was also thin and tall. Concubine Shu could only be considered petite by his side.
Concubine Shu led Gu Yan to sit down on the seat, her gaze wandered over King Jing's place, and seeing that his gaze fell on King Ding's table for a while, and then swept over to King Kang's table for a while, her heart suddenly became anxious, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab the palm of her hand.
"Yan'er." Her eyes fell on the wine glass in front of her, and she said with a smile, "Go and sit at the table of the Ninth Prince. Once your father... once King Jing makes any changes, you will offer a glass of wine to King Jing and stop him."
With a thought in Gu Yan's heart, the seat of the Ninth Prince Gu Jiuzhen was under King Jing, facing him, King Kang. His gaze turned to King Ding, who was diligently preparing vegetables for Qin, and his eyes darkened.
There was a sudden pain in his arm, but it was Concubine Shu who saw that he didn't respond, and pinched his arm in a hurry.
Gu Yan was in pain, and hurriedly said in a low voice, "Yes, Yan'er knows."
As he spoke, he got up and walked down slowly. When his body passed King Ding's table, he couldn't move a step. He simply stopped, bent over and stood in front of the two of them, holding a chopsticks to pick up a dish and brought it to her. He said softly, "Little Jiao, this lotus jade mushroom tastes refreshing. I guess it suits your taste. Would you like to try it?"
Gu Jiuxiao's eyes darkened, and he almost couldn't control his strength and broke the chair under him.
