Chapter 82 The Eloquent Li Xiaozhu
Gu Jingcheng waved his hand, as if he didn't care.

"Zhu'er was lucky enough to enter the palace. When I saw her today, the emperor's uncle did exactly what my father said!" Li Xiaozhu suddenly said.

"Zhu'er, don't be rude!" Qiu Yeli reprimanded softly, but Gu Jingcheng, who was above the high position, slightly raised his voice, and said with interest, "Oh? What did your father say about me?"

The emperor is coercive and not angry, but Li Xiaozhu is not afraid at all, looking straight into Gu Jingcheng's eyes, and talking with ease, "Daddy said, the emperor is brave and wise but very easy-going, especially loves us juniors!"

"Hahahaha, what your dad said is right! You are the Lord Qingfeng County, right? You are so young, so courageous!" Gu Jingcheng praised with a smile.

Both Gu Jingyao and Qiu Yeli lowered their heads in silence, but Li Xiaozhu looked at Gu Jingcheng with burning eyes.

"Your Majesty, the palace banquet is ready." Jin Bao approached Gu Jingcheng and said in a low voice.

"Okay! Jing Yao, shall we sit at the table together?" Gu Jingcheng said as he stood up and walked down.

"Please, Your Majesty." Gu Jingyao lowered his head slightly and stretched out his hand to signal.

Qiu Yeli walked behind with the two little sisters, but Li Xiaozhu wanted to go forward, but was grabbed by Qiu Yeli, and warned in a low voice, "This is the palace, don't mess around!"

Only then did Li Xiaozhu reluctantly follow behind, raising his chin arrogantly, with a proud look on his face.

Soon, several people arrived at Qingming Palace. Since it was a palace banquet, the people present were naturally members of the royal family.

Standing beside Gu Jingyao, Qiu Yeli glanced up, and saw that there were all of them.

Above the seat is the queen.

Below the first place is Concubine Liu Gui, Liu Xiangxiang is also there, followed by Princess Jing'an, and several unknown princesses and princesses.

The seat for male guests on the opposite side is naturally headed by Gu Jingyao, followed by King Li, King Yue, and several clan relatives.

"Your Majesty is here!" Jin Bao's shrill voice sounded.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Free from etiquette, even if it's a palace banquet or a family banquet, there's no need to be so formal!" Gu Jingcheng waved his hand.Signaled Gu Jingyao and Qiu Yeli to take the seat.

The two leaned over to salute, Qiu Yeli took the two little girls to sit under Princess Jing'an, Li Xiaozhu looked around curiously.

"Today is to celebrate His Royal Highness Luo's death and prosperity. The day of his triumphant return is really a blessing for the Li Dynasty. This glass of wine, I respect His Royal Highness Luo, the heroic general of the Li Dynasty!"

After Gu Jingcheng finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Gu Jingyao got up, "Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, I was able to escape from death, so I should respect you for this glass of wine!"

Who doesn't know how to say beautiful words, Gu Jingyao raised his head and drank it after speaking neither humble nor overbearing.

"Third brother's words are far-fetched. If you say that you are blessed, it should be the blessing of the late emperor. After all, third brother is his favorite prince!" Li Wang rubbed his wine glass and said with a smile. As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent. Who doesn't know that the current sage, King Yinluo, even has a lot of opinions on the late emperor.

"Hehe, what are you all so serious about? I'm just joking, brother Huang, won't you mind?" Li Wang looked at Gu Jingcheng with a smile, and Qiu Yeli squinted his eyes. He is also a person who hides his secrets, and a single sentence can easily cause Gu Jingcheng's discord with Gu Jingyao.

"Of course not. We are all brothers. Each of the five fingers has different lengths. Not everyone can have the favor of the emperor. Are you right, third brother?"

Gu Jingcheng said with a smile, that King Li was not favored, and everyone in the royal family knew about it. As soon as the words came out, King Li snorted coldly, had a drink on his own, and ignored it.

Gu Jingyao smiled and said, "My brother lost his biological mother since he was a child, and the late emperor took pity on him, but that's all. The emperor bears a heavy responsibility, so he should take it seriously."

"Hahahaha, what the third brother said is, come on, let's have a toast together!" Gu Jingcheng smiled and looked down.

Qiu Yeli picked up the wine glass and secretly looked at the dignified woman who was smiling beside Gu Jingcheng. She was indifferent and aloof from the world, but she was completely different from Concubine Liu Gui. The mother is in the world.

"Wouldn't it be a disappointment to have good wine without singing and dancing? Anyway, none of you here are outsiders, why don't you use your own skills to open the eyes of us?"

King Yue, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth with a smile, Qiu Yeli glanced at him, this person has always been the emperor's faction, even if he spoke, it would not be easy.

Sure enough, Liu Xiangxiang volunteered to stand up, looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Xiangxiang has recently learned a piece of Guangling San. Although the sound of the piano is soft but firm, I am willing to help everyone have fun!"

"Okay, as it is." Gu Jingcheng nodded, and was about to agree, but was interrupted by Concubine Liu Gui.

"Xiangxiang, why are you so unruly!" Concubine Liu Gui's voice was not loud, but her tone was full of seriousness, "Although it is a family banquet, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority. Maid please come first?"

Concubine Liu Gui's tone was frivolous, although she said it was casual, who would dare to let the empress of a country show off her head and dance for fun?

Empress Shen paused, and said softly, "I'm not good at singing and dancing, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you all. The concubine's slender figure will definitely surprise you!"

Liu Yingying looked at the queen with a half-smile, obviously not planning to let her go just like that, "Wang Luo has made great contributions to Xianbei, and as a queen, he should also show something. Why, do you want everyone to know that I, a queen of the Li Dynasty, actually So petty, can't you show it?"

Liu Yingying always put the pain of bereavement on Empress Shen, even though Empress Shen backed down repeatedly, and even stayed behind closed doors in the palace, she still couldn't escape her pervasive embarrassing torment.

Qiu Yeli raised her eyebrows, and looked at Gu Jingcheng who was on the throne mockingly, making him want to make things difficult for Gu Jingyao at the palace banquet. Now that the backyard is on fire, let's see how he calms it down.

"Yingying, don't be presumptuous!" Gu Jingcheng had a headache, but he still stopped him.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is just to let the empress get closer to everyone, how can she be presumptuous?" Liu Yingying looked at Gu Jingcheng with a half-smile, but the latter was not easy to meet the woman's eyes.

"His Majesty!"

The scene became embarrassing for a while, and a crisp child's voice rang out. Gu Jingcheng followed the voice and looked over. When Qiu Yeli was also a little dazed, Li Xiaozhu got up and walked out, knelt in the center, and looked at Gu Jingcheng.

"Xiao Zhu'er, what do you want to say?" Gu Jingcheng's expression relaxed, as if he had grasped at straws.

"Zhu'er thinks that the imperial concubine is right!"

The voice of the little milk was so crisp that it hit everyone's hearts. Qiu Yeli wanted to go forward and catch her back. Before she left, she clearly told her thousands of times that this child was disobedient, and Gu Jingyao's brows also frowned. All eyes were on her.
