Concubine Ceylon's words made everyone gasp, because there were thorns in them.
If the marshal stationed at the border has an inside story with the enemy country, what is it? That is treason! The last thing the emperor could tolerate was treason, even if it was a joke.
Sure enough, the emperor's complexion turned livid.
Gu Shangshu was in a hurry, "Your Majesty, please be careful. Marshal Zhao is loyal to the country, and he is even more loyal to the emperor. You are making lies without any basis. I am afraid that you will hurt the hearts of loyal ministers."
"False talk?" Concubine Xilan was holding back her anger, and when she saw the emperor was lost in thought, she became rampant, "Zhao Ruolan's appearance is here, as long as everyone here has no eye problems, they can tell his blood relationship, so I need my concubine's nonsense ?"
With a confused face, Mrs. Zhao stretched out her hand to pull the corner of Gu Shangshu's clothes, "Master, what are you talking about? What kind of blood relationship?"
Gu Qianxue snorted coldly, "But Madam Ceylon, don't forget, it's not just my mother who has the appearance here, but also Madam yourself. If marrying a woman from Chuyan Kingdom is treason, Lord Ceylon will first Treason, isn't it?"
Concubine Xilan was taken aback, but she didn't expect to draw the fire on herself, "Nonsense, my concubine's father has always been loyal to the emperor!"
Gu Qianxue didn't give her a chance to continue, and continued directly, "It's as if the whole world is worried about Master Ceylon's loyalty, and everyone else is not."
"You..." Concubine Xilan never thought that Gu Qianxue would dare to interrupt her, "Bold, where is this place, and what is your identity, is there room for you to intervene?"
Gu Qianxue said calmly, "Concubine Ceylon misunderstood. Qianxue didn't interrupt, but just explained. Interrupting is not a good habit, but if you don't interrupt, I'm afraid you will be splashed with dirty water."
Seeing the two quarreling, the queen was very happy.
"Splash dirty water? Are you talking about my concubine?" Concubine Xilan said angrily.
Gu Qianxue smiled slightly, "Now we are the only ones talking, so why don't we need to speak when we splash dirty water?" She taunted her bluntly.
"Presumptuous!" Concubine Xilan was completely furious, and rushed over immediately, "Your Majesty..."
Before Concubine Xilan finished her complaint, Concubine Qin on the side smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's a family feast. It's so lively. Don't be afraid, Qianxue. Sister Ceylon always likes to joke. It should be a joke just now." Let's play with you."
Immediately, many sensible courtiers agreed.
The emperor gave Concubine Xilan a sneaky look, but he was no longer indulging in Zhao's beauty, "Pass the meal." Order to go on.
Eunuch Kang immediately arranged for it, and after a while, the court ladies holding delicious delicacies poured in like a fish, serving exquisite food.
The empress was still unsatisfied with the quarrel just now, and she still wanted to hear the dog bite the dog, so she smiled and said, "Although the sage says, don't eat or sleep, but this is a family banquet. Since it is a family banquet, it should be more casual, and everyone can talk freely."
Even so, no one spoke.
Immediately afterwards, the stage of toasting began.
The prince made a toast, the second prince toasted, and everyone made a toast, but King Li remained calm, as if the banquet had nothing to do with him.
The second prince secretly squinted in the crowd, lowered his head and ate fiercely, without looking up.
The queen still wanted to ignite the flames of war. She raised the cup and said, "I want to toast some people today. Guess who I want to toast to?"
There are different opinions, some say it is a respect to the emperor, and some say it is actually a gift to the concubine Qin.
The Queen said, "You all guessed wrong," and then said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, will the Emperor be angry if the concubine wants to toast to Sister Xilan and Mrs. Gu instead of to the Emperor?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Of course not, in the eyes of the empress, I am just so stingy."
The couple actually showed their affection in front of everyone.
The queen raised the wine glass, "I would like to respect Concubine Ceylon and Mrs. Gu, because it is because of your stunning beauty that this banquet is even more brilliant. The entire Qianqing Palace seems to be filled with the beauty of Ruixia, which shines brightly."
Mrs. Zhao is eating chicken with her head down.
Gu Shangshu said softly, "Ru Lan, the Empress is toasting you, you have to bring it up in return, how can I teach you as a husband at home, have you forgotten?"
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly dropped the half-eaten chicken leg, and grabbed the wine glass with her oily hands. "Many women, thank you, Empress Dowager." As she spoke, she raised her head and drank it.
"..." Everyone was speechless, because the toasted queen hadn't drunk yet.
Seeing this, the queen just smiled, "Mrs. Gu is happy." She watched and drank the wine boldly.
Concubine Ceylon was extremely embarrassed holding the wine, saying that it was a respect to her, but both of them had finished drinking, and she seemed to be superfluous.
Suddenly there was another fire.
Gu Qianxue hated Concubine Xilan to death, to mention the blood of Chu Yan Kingdom, and even other people couldn't mention it to Concubine Xilan.
Thinking about it, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
The prince smiled and said, "Why is Qianxue drinking so much wine?" Her voice was always gentle, her eyes were as clear as water and as soft as wind.
Gu Qianxue didn't know how to face the prince. Although King Li's strategy had nothing to do with her before, she still felt guilty in her heart, "Back to His Royal Highness, Qianxue is thirsty, not because she was bored."
The prince smiled and said, "Since you are thirsty, let me respect you, so that you can take the opportunity to drink a few more glasses." After speaking, he took the wine glass.
Gu Qianxue also hastily poured wine and toasted, "The crown prince really upset Qianxue. It should be Qianxue who came to pay respects to His Royal Highness. It is Qianxue who has lost her eyesight. Let's do it first." As she spoke, she raised her head and drank it all without waiting for the other party to speak. .
The prince smiled and drank slowly, but his eyes remained glued to Gu Qianxue's body, not letting go.
Qiu Anran became anxious and wanted to attack, but was stared at by Master Qiu's threatening eyes.
Qiu Anran also knew that the emperor had a very bad impression of her now, so in the end she could only swallow her resentment fiercely, and transferred the hatred to Gu Qianxue again. She swore that as long as she became the princess, she would kill Gu Qianxue. No, if you want to make life worse than death, letting her take advantage of her.
After drinking for three rounds, the warm family banquet came to an end.
After removing the dining table, everyone moved to another larger hall to drink tea.
The emperor finally spoke out the purpose of this trip slowly, "It's not just about hosting a family banquet, chatting with everyone, and reminiscing about the past, but there is actually another important thing to come here this time."
Everyone has a clear mirror in their hearts, and now they hear the emperor say this, and they are all cheered up.
The emperor turned his head and said to Concubine Qin, who was not far away from him, "Concubine Qin, there is one thing I am sorry for you and Fian'er, this year Fian'er is twenty-two and has not yet married, it is my negligence and my fault. "
Concubine Qin hurriedly said, "Your Majesty don't want to say that, the emperor is busy with everything, such a small matter of children's love should not be bothered by the emperor, but it is the fault of the concubine. If the concubine is in good health, she can't... hey."
The queen felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, talking about it, but it seemed that she, being a queen, delayed the marriage of the princes.
The conscience of heaven and earth, even if she doesn't consider King Li, she also considers her own son, the crown prince. She mentioned it to the emperor repeatedly, but was dismissed, so what can she do
