Chapter 336 Banquet
"I'm old and useless, so that's why the villain kidnapped Gu Jinxi."
As she spoke, her usually majestic eyes turned slightly red.
"It's all right, it's all right."
The Queen Mother said it several times in a row.
"Fortunately, it was a false alarm."
"I heard that it was thanks to the monarch of Da Qi who happened to catch the villain that Jinxi was successfully rescued."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"Yes, it's all thanks to him."
"Did you thank him?"
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"Thanks already."
The Queen Mother then said, "Tell Hechuan to hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow to express our gratitude to the monarch of Da Qi."
"Since he saved the future crown prince of our Great Qi, we must not lose our great character."
Gu Jingchun understood, so she waited until the empress dowager fell asleep before she got up and told Shen Hechuan about the empress dowager's decision.
Even though Chen Hechuan really disliked Mo Junxing.
But this time it was indeed Mo Junxing who saved Gu Jinxi, and it was reasonable for him to express his gratitude.
However, he did not think that Mo Junxing would be so kind, nor did he believe that it would be such a coincidence that he happened to see Gu Jinxi being taken away.
Not only that, he also felt that this was related to Mo Junxing.
Maybe the other party is Mo Junxing's man, and all this is just his own directing and acting.
A large part of what Mo Junxing did was because he wanted to gain Gu Jingchun's trust.
That's why Chen Hechuan always had a cold face and was very unhappy.
Soon, the day of the banquet arrived.
Except Mo Junxing was present.
Chen Hechuan also invited many noble families and ministers from the court to join him.
However, it was not as grand as the first time.
At the banquet.
Shen Hechuan sat high on the dragon throne.
Because of his current status, Gu Jingchun could only sit below him at most.
Also because of his status, Mo Junxing sat opposite Gu Jingchun.
Below them are the ministers of Dacheng and Daqi.
There was nothing wrong with the seating arrangement, but when Chen Hechuan saw that Mo Junxing and Gu Jingchun were sitting opposite each other, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Especially when he saw Mo Jun motionless, he turned his eyes to Gu Jingchun.
Whether he was drinking tea, wine, or even eating some food, he would raise his head and signal Gu Jingchun with his eyes.
And Gu Jingchun would actually nod to him from time to time.
This made Shen Hechuan even more angry.
He simply raised his head and stopped looking, but gave orders and began the performance.
The dancers this time were all stunningly beautiful, and their dances were extremely wonderful.
Chen Hechuan actually hoped that Mo Junxing could take his eyes off Gu Jingchun.
But he didn't.
Finally, Shen Hechuan couldn't bear it anymore and raised his glass.
"Lord, today's banquet is to thank you for saving me... Dacheng's son. What do you think?"
Mo Junxing's cooperation is rare.
He also raised his glass high, "Today's banquet..."
As he spoke, he glanced in Gu Jingchun's direction and continued, "I am very satisfied and would like to thank Your Majesty for the hospitality."
He hinted at something, causing Shen Hechuan's eyes to turn cold in an instant.
Mo Junxing had already drunk the wine in his hand, and turned the glass upside down, looking at Chen Hechuan provocatively.
"readily!"
Chen Hechuan narrowed his eyes, raised his head and drank the wine in his hand, also hanging the glass upside down, then narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The two of them started drinking non-stop as if they were competing with each other.
After finishing one cup, he drank the second cup, and then the third cup.
Chen Hechuan and Mo Junxing drank one cup after another under the gaze of all the ministers.
Just when both of them had almost finished drinking.
Mo Junxing spoke with drunken eyes.
"Your Majesty, you have a good alcohol tolerance."
Mo Junxing praised, and then changed the subject.
"Your Majesty, I have been bothering you in Dacheng for many days. Today, I specially present you with some gifts. I hope you enjoy them."
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan raised his eyebrows.
"oh?"
"Your Majesty is very polite. I am very curious about what kind of gift your Majesty will give me."
After Shen Hechuan finished speaking, Mo Junxing immediately clapped his hands.
Soon, several women walked into the hall one after another.
Several very beautiful women.
Moreover, they all wore cool clothes and had charming figures.
He walked slowly to the front of the hall and saluted Shen Hechuan.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Her charming voice, beautiful face, delicate fair skin, and well-proportioned figure instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
Several ministers had been drinking, and when they saw such a beauty, they couldn't help but speak.
"They say that Daqi produces beautiful women, and now it seems to be true."
“Look at their figures, they are really beautiful.
I heard that the beauties of Da Qi are extremely good at the water snake dance. Their slender waists twist like water snakes, which is very enchanting.
After the ministers finished speaking, one of the women slowly raised her head.
When the minister saw the woman's face clearly, he was so shocked that he hiccuped.
"This...this woman's face...why does it look so much like Gu Jingchun!"
This one sentence made Gu Jingchun look up suddenly.
It also made Shen Hechuan, who had been motionless, look up.
The two men looked at the woman and then looked at each other.
Shen Hechuan felt his heart beat faster when he saw Gu Jingchun's sharp eyes.
Scared!
He quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to even look at those women.
"Your Majesty is too polite. I am currently in mourning. As for these beauties, please excuse me."
As he spoke, he looked at Mo Junxing again.
"I remember that your beloved ran away. You should keep these beauties to serve yourself."
After glaring at Chen Hechuan, Gu Jingchun also glared at Mo Junxing fiercely.
This guy clearly did it on purpose. He deliberately found a woman who looked like her and gave her to Shen Hechuan.
This wasn't a gift at all; it was clearly an attempt to annoy her.
Moreover, if Chen Hechuan did not accept the beauty sent by Mo Junxing, it would probably cause some unnecessary suspicion.
Sure enough, after Shen Hechuan finished speaking, Mo Junxing immediately chuckled.
"Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with the gift from our Great Qi?"
As he spoke, there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"I just don't know whether His Majesty dislikes these gifts from my Great Qi, or dislikes my peaceful coexistence with my Great Qi."
He said this and sighed.
"I came here this time with the intention of promoting peaceful coexistence between the two countries. Since Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and your harem is empty, I have specially sent these beauties as a token of my sincerity."
“I didn’t expect that His Majesty would want to send the person back without even looking at him.
It seems that Your Majesty has no intention of making peace with my Great Qi."
