When Gu Qiqing passed by Zhu Chengxuan, the eyes of the two met for a moment.

Zhu Chengxuan looked down at her.

Although it was cold winter, his eyes were as gentle as the spring breeze.

With just this glance, Gu Qiqing's heart thumped again. Although the wind blew a little cold snow foam on her face, her cheeks were inexplicably hot and hot, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

Follow Gu Tingqiu into Chengqian Palace.

Looking at her back, Zhu Chengxuan still had a gentle smile on his face and his eyes were even gentle, so he followed him in.

As soon as I entered Chengqian Palace, I saw the lights inside.

In the center of the main hall, there is a large round table, with some simple dishes on it, just cold dishes, so hot dishes and wine will naturally have to wait until people come.

Gu Tingqiu counted the chairs beside the round table.

A little moved in my heart.

He turned his head and said to Zhu Chengxuan: "Your Highness, I wonder when the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine will come?"

Zhu Chengxuan's eyes were originally still on Gu Qiqing. When he heard him ask him, he immediately took his eyes back and said in a regular manner: "The father is still in the Wuying Palace, as if he is going to see someone. The imperial concubine has already sent news and will arrive soon."

As he was talking, a sound of footsteps came from outside.

There is also the happy voice of Princess Xinping.

"Miss! Miss!"

When he turned around, he saw the imperial concubine with Princess Xinping, followed by several palace maids, walking in slowly. When Princess Xinping saw Gu Qiqing, she immediately spread her arms happily and ran over.

Gu Qiqing was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly walked down the steps and squatted down to catch her.

The two hugged each other and laughed happily.

"Miss, I miss you so much!"

Gu Qiqing hugged her and said with a smile: "The young lady misses His Highness the Princess."

Gu Tingqiu hurriedly took Gu Yiyou and the others out, and even Gu Qiqing hurriedly got up and saluted Nan Yan: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."

Nan Yan smiled and raised his hand: "Let's just flat."

Then, looking at Xinping holding Gu Qiqing and refusing to let go, she smiled and said, "I've finally waited for your young lady, I'm afraid I'll be looking forward to it."

As he said that, he glanced at Zhu Chengxuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhu Chengxuan's eyes were also fixed on Gu Qiqing. Hearing this, he blushed and lowered his head.

Xinping opened her eyes wide: "What is 'looking through autumn water'?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Go back and ask your master."

"oh."

Xinping is now starting to learn, and if there is anything I don’t understand, everyone just perfunctorily asked her to ask her master, but it made Liu Yueze miserable. In addition to the normal class content, he also had to answer so many strange questions on her daily life, and everyone was happy.

Although Gu Tingqiu didn't like her joke, she was the concubine after all, so she couldn't say anything.

He only covered his mouth and coughed twice.

Nan Yan looked at him with a smile and said, "Is it cold all the way here?"

"fine."

"The emperor's descendant entered the palace and was talking there, and he was coming soon."

“It’s okay,”

Gu Tingqiu nodded and said seriously: "If you are a minister, you should wait for the emperor first."

“…”

"I just don't know, it's so late, who is the emperor still meeting."

Nan Yan was about to say something when he heard footsteps coming from outside, as if several people were walking here.

She looked up and smiled and said, "They are here."

Everyone also looked up quickly, but saw Zhu Feng walking in from outside the gate of Chengqian Palace, and the one who followed him was General Xu Shifeng.

And Xu Xiaoxiao, the eldest daughter of the Xu family.

As soon as he saw them, Gu Tingqiu's face changed.

However, out of the courtesy of the ministers, he immediately took his children forward and bowed to Zhu Feng and bowed to him: "I pay homage to the emperor."

Zhu Feng immediately raised his hand and smiled, "Sir Gu, you are no longer in the court, so there is no need to be so polite. Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When he stood up, Xu Shifeng came forward with a smile and greeted him.

The two of them often meet in the cabinet and are old acquaintances.

Gu Tingqiu smiled and said, "It turns out that the emperor is discussing affairs with the general."

Xu Shifeng smiled and said, "It's not important. Originally, my brother should have entered the palace, but he suffered some cold today and was not suitable to walk around. My sister-in-law had to take care of him and could not come with him. So, I was the only one who brought my niece to the palace."

Gu Tingqiu turned his head and took a look.

Xu Xiaoxiao was still a little guilty when she saw him.

He greeted him with a smile: "Meet Uncle Gu."

The big thing happened before was because she passed the news between King Wei and Gu Qiqing. Because of that incident, Gu Tingqiu was somewhat unhappy with her, but as an elder, it was not easy to show any emotions.

He just smiled and nodded.

Xu Shifeng said: "What happened before was that she was wrong. I hope Lord Gu will not be surprised."

Gu Tingqiu said lightly: "The things have passed, so there is no need to mention them anymore. After all, it's just a child."

After everyone talked for a few words, Zhu Feng led everyone into Chengqian Palace. He naturally sat directly above with Nan Yan. Everyone gave in to each other and all sat down one after another.

Gu Tingqiu sat beside Nanyan, next to him was Gu Qiqing, and then Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian.

On the other side, the one sitting next to Zhu Feng was King Wei.

Next were Xu Shifeng and Xu Xiaoxiao.

Sitting down like this makes the two families look relatively clear, and Gu Tingqiu's mood is getting heavier.

Zhu Feng looked gentle and said to everyone: "Today's party is a family dinner. There is no need to be a difference between the king and the minister. Just be happy and enjoy it."

After saying that, he said to Zhu Chengxuan: "Let me let me cook."

"yes."

Zhu Chengxuan immediately stood up and waved to the palace maid Yun Jian standing at the door. After a while, the people from the imperial kitchen brought steaming wine and food.

The dishes are naturally exquisite and delicious.

Even the wine was warmed in advance. When it was delivered, the wine was filled with fragrance. Before we could drink it, everyone was about to indulge in the rich wine fragrance.

Xu Shifeng heard it and said, "The best daughter Hong for twenty years."

Zhu Feng laughed and said, "Not bad."

“…”

"I wonder, do you know why this wine is called Daughter-red?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Although everyone knows it, now the emperor is not really a reply, so everyone doesn't speak.

Zhu Feng laughed and said, "This daughter Hong originally came from a place in Shaoxing. If someone in Shaoxing adds a thousand gold coins, he will get a jar of freshly brewed wine and buried it underground. When his daughter gets married, he will take it out to entertain guests. The name is 'Daughter Hong'."

After saying that, he raised the wine glass in his hand and looked at Gu Tingqiu with a smile.
