Chapter 1633: Threat

Yuwen did not answer her cousin. There was someone guarding outside the door. Soon, as the two brothers Gu Sheng opened the door of the private room, Yuwen and Linxi came out.

Gu Sheng was extremely surprised, "County Lord Anhe?"

Yuwen nodded, "Master Gu."

Now he is no longer Mr. Gu, but Lord Gu, and Gu Sheng pricked his ears.

Lin Xi frowned, "Ahem."

Yu Wen introduced: "This is my cousin Princess Linxi."

County Lord Gu Sheng didn't even dare to dream of marrying the King of Qin's legitimate daughter, so he said in a very respectful tone, "Hello, Princess."

Linxi blinked her eyes. It was just as her cousin said. This person knew his own identity very well and smiled.

Yu Wen asked in confusion, "Today is not a day off for the Imperial Academy, why is Lord Gu in the teahouse?"

Gu Yan, who had been in the background, blushed. He couldn't help but shook his head and looked at his brother. He didn't know how to answer.

Gu Sheng said cheerfully, today he had resolved the most important matter in his mind, "My eldest brother is going to get married."

Nothing else was said. Yu Wen knew it and didn't ask any more questions. They went downstairs while talking.

The carriage of the Marquis' Mansion was waiting outside the door. Yuwen was about to get on the carriage when she heard someone calling her, "Zhou Yuwen."

Yu Wen raised her eyebrows, "Are you lifting the house arrest?"

Wen Ling choked. She had lifted the house arrest a long time ago, but she was upset. She thought Zhuo Guyu was a good man, but Zhou Houfu discarded him like a worn-out shoe. How could she still miss Zhuo Guyu? She looked down on Zhou Yuwen, "I invited you twice, why didn't you come?"

Yuwen pointed at herself and said, "I have been rude since you called me."

Wen Ling, "...I have met the Lord of Anhe County."

The tone is gnashing of teeth, so angry!

Yu Wen didn't care, as long as Wen Ling was fine. She felt a little sad in her heart, the eldest daughter of the Wen family was arrogant, and she had the capital to be arrogant.

Wen Ling was furious as he watched Zhou Yuwen get on the carriage and leave. He gritted his teeth, glared at her, and left.

Gu Sheng looked at the carriage of the marquis' mansion going away and couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu Yan asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Sheng did not answer. He could not talk about the county lord An He. He said to his elder brother, "Let's go see the small courtyard."

Gu Yan's ears turned red, "Okay."

In the Hanlin Academy, Chang Zhi was in a bad mood the whole day. He regretted telling the lady the news, and even more regretted agreeing to let her be a spy. Feeling irritated, he went out for tea, and saw Zhuo Guyu and the number one scholar drinking tea together.

Chang Zhi ignored Zhuo Guyu. Ever since his father caused a big disturbance in the Yong'an Duke's Mansion, the two families had never had any contact with each other. Even though Zhuo Guyu was smooth-talking, the Duke's Mansion was still arrogant, so Zhuo Guyu did not say a word.

Changzhi is not mistreating himself, he still has to drink the tea.

Zhuo Guyu waited until Zhou Changzhi walked away, then sipped the tea in the cup. Even though he thought that Anhe County Lady was suitable to be his wife, his grandfather became seriously ill first, and then the emperor himself came to completely end his thoughts.

The top scholar was from the south. He had not returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors because he was too far away from the capital. He had seen a lot of excitement in the capital and knew the feud between the Duke's Mansion and the Zhou Marquis' Mansion. "Master Zhuo, have you decided on her?"

Zhuo Guyu, "It's not decided yet."

None of the families he met were satisfied. Those who were satisfied were smart and did not want to marry into the Duke's Mansion, even if the Emperor wanted to use him!

Chang Zhi heard this right after he came out from making tea. He was also a little curious about which family the Duke's Mansion would marry into.

Zhuo Guyu watched Zhou Changzhi leave, thinking in his heart that he wanted to see who the Anhe County Head would marry. Then he felt depressed because Anhe had no trouble finding a wife and many wealthy families were seeking her hand in marriage, but he was neither high nor low.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the banquet in the palace. Zhou Shuren and Zhulan entered the palace together. Because there were female relatives from various countries, the queen finally showed up and summoned the ladies to enter the palace.

Zhulan said excitedly, "I thought I couldn't enter the palace."

Zhou Shuren, "It's a pity that we can't sit together."

Zhulan didn't care, "I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at the beauty."

The procedures for holding a banquet in the palace need to be planned in advance. She has already learned from Xue Han that there will be beautiful women dancing. It is a rare opportunity to watch it up close today.

When they arrived at the palace gate, there were guards and ladies-in-waiting standing at the door. The palace banquets were strict, so it was really difficult to assassinate someone inside the palace. After entering the palace smoothly, the couple separated and Zhulan went to pay her respects to the empress first.

When Zhulan arrived, quite a few people had already arrived.

The Queen asked with a smile, "Why don't you see An He?"

Zhulan responded, yes, granddaughters also have titles, "It's my fault, I didn't bring her into the palace."

The Queen asked and gestured, "Old Madam, please sit down first, we will go together later."

Zhulan, "Yes."

Time passed quickly, the lady-in-waiting came to report the news, and the queen stood up, "Let's go."

Xue Han fell behind a few steps and supported her mother personally, "Mom, you rarely wear imperial robes. Are you tired?"

Zhulan smiled, "It's okay."

Xue Han lowered her voice and said, "There are quite a few programs today."

My own mother doesn’t understand yet, but today’s songs and dances were choreographed early in the morning. They are all newly choreographed dances and will definitely be a feast for her eyes.

Zhu Lan said repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

When they arrived at the hall, Zhulan and others took their seats one after another. Xuehan wanted to sit next to Rongchuan, as she was the Princess of Qin.

Zhulan and other female relatives sat on the other side, diagonally opposite were the female relatives of envoys from various countries. Zhulan glanced at Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren sat very close to the emperor, which was a sign of trust and favor.

The Emperor helped the Empress to take her seat. Today they would only have a banquet and not discuss state affairs. The Emperor did not say much and the banquet started quickly.

Zhulan was eating and couldn't help but glance at Jiang An. Jiang An was sitting upright and seemed to feel her gaze. He was stunned for a moment and then continued to watch the dance.

There were quite a few shows, and soon foreign dancers came in. The girl in the middle was very beautiful. Zhulan had seen many beauties, but she still thought the girl in front of her was beautiful.

Zhulan turned her head to look at the emperor, but the emperor did not look at her straight. Instead, he said something to the empress. The empress, who had a good complexion, blushed, so the beautiful eyes and eyebrows were left to the blind man!

Then there were several more dances, all solo dances. Zhulan was feasting her eyes and enjoying every smile of the beauty.

Zhou Shuren was keeping an eye on the prince. The emperor didn't care about women, but what about the prince? The prince was young, would he be able to use beauty traps?

It was obvious that the prince had been well taught by the emperor. There was only admiration in his eyes, and no other emotions. The beautiful woman who came for the prince had miscalculated.

During the banquet, some people left the table one after another, some were in a hurry to eat, and Zhulan had eaten a little too much. She followed the palace maid to the back and heard the woman's excited voice, which was not Chinese, and her voice was faintly tearful.

Zhulan glanced at the palace maid, who was also confused and not paying attention for a moment. Finally, the palace maid coughed, and the noise at the corner became quiet.

After Zhulan had taken care of her three urgent needs and came out, she saw Jiang An not far away. There was a woman beside him. Zhulan recognized at a glance that this was the princess beside Jiang An.

Jiang An and his grandmother looked at each other, his eyes drifting a little. Zhulan looked at Jiang An, then at the princess who was jealous even though she was trying to hide it. It seemed like the flower had feelings but the water was unfeeling. Her heart was pounding!
