Chapter 33
The regent was so angry that he almost lifted the roof of the flower hall.

Xu Shilang lowered his eyes and looked left and right to see that he was indecisive. He wanted to kneel but didn't dare to kneel, and he was afraid of being punished if he didn't kneel.

Chi Ruoxing felt bitter, I came to eat, but now it's good, I have to sing bad faces with you even if I'm hungry.

When will this wait go on?

do not care.

Chi Ruoxing picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

The chefs of the Xu family are really skilled, and there is such a delicious steamed fish on the impromptu table.

This elbow is also a good dish. It is glutinous but not greasy and has a fruity fragrance. It is very satisfying to take a big bite.

Xu Zhu'er must have inherited her father's eyesight, and began to serve Chi Ruoxing without saying a word.

Two slices of crispy bamboo shoots are sandwiched, which complements the elbow, which is an extraordinary enjoyment in the world.

Chi Ruoxing tilted his face and nodded at her, casting an approving look.

Then I saw Xu Zhu'er's eyes brighten up, and her cheeks became a little rosy.

Xu Zhu'er got up slightly and served Chi Ruoxing a bowl of soup.

Chi Ruoxing was a little disgusted at first, that bowl of sticky things looked weird.

However, it was Xu Zhu'er's recommendation now.

Chi Ruoxing still decided to take a sip, not to refute his face.

Hiss, it is really salty, fragrant and smooth, three mouthfuls and two bowls are eaten.

Putting down the bowl, Chi Ruoxing felt something was wrong, turned around and found that Gu Jingchen was staring at him.

Chi Ruoxing was a little embarrassed, so he also served Gu Jingchen a bowl of soup, "My lord, let's put some cushion first."

Gu Jingchen looked at the steamed fish and roasted elbow that Chi Ruoxing ate just now.

Xu Shilang has such good eyesight, he quickly picked up the chopsticks, but was swept away by Gu Jingchen's cold stare, so he had to put them down again.

When Chi Ruoxing saw it, he smiled and served Gu Jingchen with vegetables.

Gu Jingchen threw the clay doll into Xu Shilang's arms and began to eat.

Xu Shilang threw the clay puppet to the servant beside him.

Mrs. Zhang kept looking at the clay puppet with complicated expressions.

When Chi Ruoxing saw it, he sighed, "Miss Zhang, what did you think at that time? The southern barbarians are good at using poison, and the clay statues they gave you said they could keep you safe, so you took it. You really are not afraid of poison!"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Chi Ruoxing, then at the clay puppet, and finally just shook her head.

Gu Jingchen put down his chopsticks, took out a list from his pocket, and handed it to Xu Shilang, "This is the list given by Pu Ram. These officials have enshrined the clay sculpture just like your family."

Lord Xu took it with both hands: "My lord, are the officials on this list going to be dealt with?"

Gu Jingchen shook his head: "I haven't made up my mind yet. This Priam is the best at demagoguery. If people believe him, even if I say not to believe him, they may not listen to me."

After all, he took a look at Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang quickly lowered her head.

Gu Jingchen said again: "Even if you are afraid of the power in my hands or my reputation outside and destroy the statue, you still beat me into a jackal in your heart."

Mrs. Zhang lowered her head even more.

Chi Ruoxing nodded after listening: "The best way is to let the believers know the true face of Priam."

"This is one aspect." Gu Jingchen picked up his chopsticks again, and said with a sincere tone, "Actually, what the common people want is nothing more than peace and prosperity. Whoever can bless him, he will worship."

After hearing Gu Jingchen's words, Xu Shilang nodded and sighed, first looked at his wife, then at the dishes on the table, his eyes gradually became hollow, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly Xu Shilang looked at Chi Ruoxing.

Gu Jingchen also stared at Chi Ruoxing when he saw it.

The Xu family members at the table also watched over together.

Chi Ruoxing touched his face and the corners of his mouth hesitantly: "What are you all looking at me like that for?"

"Princess princess, can't you keep us safe?" Xu Shilang's eyes were full of expectation.

Chi Ruoxing put down his chopsticks and moved back: "What is this for?"

Gu Jingchen said, "I'm afraid you can't help it."

Chi Ruoxing frowned: "Why?"

Xu Shilang answered: "My family's affairs have been raging in the capital these days. Now that the matter is settled, some gossipers will come and ask about it."

"Even if I don't say it, the servants in the family will discuss it anyway, and I can't hide the fact that I spent a thousand taels of silver to ask the princess for help."

Xu Shilang picked up the list in his hand and shook it again, "This clay puppet is the source of the disaster, and it should be announced to the world. The common people know the ins and outs, and they will certainly worship the princess very much."

Chi Ruoxing smiled, but didn't answer.

She doesn't covet fame and interests, but if things really come to this point, there is nothing to back down.

Gu Jingchen took Chi Ruoxing's hand, shook it, then turned to Xu Shilang and said, "Master Xu, our marriage is just around the corner. All the adults in the Ministry of Rites have worked hard."

Xu Shilang hurriedly bowed and replied: "Don't dare to act, dare not act! This is what a minister should do."

"My colleagues in the Ministry of Rites are indeed busy these days, but I also hope that the prince and the future concubine can live in harmony and success for the rest of their lives."

"The family affairs of the prince and the concubine are also the affairs of the state and the world. How can we not do our best and put our heart and soul into it."

This touching speech made Chi Ruoxing's lips twitch.

Such an extravagant adjective is too presumptuous.

Quietly glanced at Gu Jingchen's face, and found that he was calm and composed.

Xu Shilang bowed and said, "The princess does not know something."

"Ah?" Chi Ruoxing twitched again.

"Jun, the Princess Mistress doesn't know something." Xu Shilang secretly glanced at Gu Jingchen's expression while speaking.

Seeing that his face remained unchanged, he continued: "It is not presumptuous to marry with the ceremony of the emperor, and it is what everyone expects when the prince ascended to the great treasure a year ago."

Chi Ruoxing imitated Gu Jingchen's tone when he first met Gu Jingchen and said to Xu Shilang, "Do you know that what you just said is disrespectful?"

"Your Majesty, don't scare me. You can hear me saying this no matter if you go out to the vegetable market or to the palace." Xu Shilang's face was full of the expression of not being afraid of boiling water,
"It is the prince who regards himself as a Taoist disciple and promises to supervise and regent the country for ten years and train him to be a qualified emperor."

Chi Ruoxing nodded: "Senior brother, you've done a good job. Don't let ordinary things in the world affect your heart."

Xu Shilang was shocked: "The prince and concubine must not abandon Dayong!"

Chi Ruoxing waved his hand: "Master Xu, don't listen to the fact that the wind is the rain, we also practice in the secular world."

"It's practice," Xu Shilang smiled brightly, "blessing the people of Dayong is also the supreme practice."

Chi Ruoxing blinked, thinking his words were strange.

Gu Jingchen interrupted the conversation: "Let's not talk about this, the wedding in a few days, I feel that there are still a few things that are not at ease, I hope Master Xu will urge the next to do it."

"My lord, please speak."

"In the streets and alleys of the capital, hang more lanterns and ribbons to decorate it. It will be more lively and festive. Be sure to prepare more firecrackers and fireworks."

"On the day of the wedding, I want to invite all the people in the capital to celebrate with me. All restaurants, inns and restaurants must prepare my wedding wine!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Jingchen returned to his gloomy and cold look when he just sat down.

 Ask for collections, ask for recommended tickets.
