Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 193 Banquet in the Palace
"Mama, can you stop learning? It's really not suitable for me." In this quiet courtyard, Zhao Min's pleading can be heard from time to time.

The wound on Zhao Min's back has healed, so Nanny Gu taught her how to be a female celebrity, no, today she is learning to embroider a flower.

Zhao Min was very worried, if she wanted to do some flower planting, cooking and so on, if she really wanted to sit here all day, only embroidering a square scarf on her hand, it would be a real headache.

"what!"

"what happened?"

Only Zhao Min exclaimed, and the one who exited was Gu Lingqing who had just walked in from outside the house.

Nanny Gu stood up and bowed to Gu Lingqing, but Gu Lingqing had no time to take care of her at the moment, and walked directly to Zhao Min's side.

I saw that Zhao Min accidentally pricked his finger when he was embroidering. At this moment, the finger is bleeding out.

Seeing this alone, Gu Lingqing frowned, picked up her finger and put it in her mouth to help her suck the blood,

This made Zhao Min blush, and she was about to struggle to pull it out immediately, but Gu Lingqing didn't go her way, and only took her finger out of his mouth when he felt that there was no bloody smell in his mouth. come out.

Gu Lingqing looked at the needle hole on Zhao Min's finger, walked in with a serious face, took out the wound medicine from the medicine box, carefully wiped it on Zhao Min's wound, and then wrapped it with gauze.

Zhao Min looked at his slender fingers, which were tangled up into a big swollen bag, and couldn't help feeling dumbfounded.

Just now, when Gu Lingqing put Zhao Min's finger into her mouth, Nanny Gu led Qinlan and Qinmei out of the room.

When Qinmei left the room, her eyes darkened, she lowered her head to look at the two of them, and then followed Nanny Gu to leave.

There was no one around at the moment, Zhao Min hit Gu Lingqing on the chest with his uninjured right hand: "There were people around just now, how could you do that?"

Gu Lingqing touched the back of her head, and smiled honestly: "Didn't you just forget it in a hurry?"

Zhao Min snorted coldly, turned her head away, she was not angry, but more ashamed.

Seeing this, Gu Lingqing leaned forward, hugged her shoulders, and shook her gently, with a rare coquettish expression on her face: "Okay, it's my fault, I won't do it next time, we Min'er Are you shy?"

Zhao Min glared at Gu Lingqing coquettishly, glanced at the embroidery she had put on the table just now, and couldn't help sighing deeply: "Oh, I really can't do this embroidery."

After Gu Lingqing heard her complain, she waved her hand and said dotingly: "If you don't want to learn, then don't learn. I'll go to Mother Gu and tell you that you won't be allowed to learn this."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Min's eyes flashed with joy.

Gu Lingqing nodded lightly: "Of course it's true, when have I lied to you?" After speaking, she stretched out her finger and gently scratched her nose.

"You're so kind." Zhao Min smiled from the bottom of his heart, leaning his head gently on Gu Lingqing's shoulder, embracing her waist, and Gu Lingqing was very grateful for Zhao Min's praise, the smile on his face Have not returned.

The two enjoyed the warmth of the room for a moment, then Gu Lingqing pushed Zhao Min away from her arms, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said: "The princess is happy, so today the emperor set Had a family dinner and said that we would celebrate this event."

"You also need to go, don't you?" Zhao Min couldn't help but feel worried.

Although she is not very clear about the relationship between the prince and Gu Lingqing in the imperial city, she also knows that the prince is not against him.

Sensing the worry in Zhao Min's eyes about herself, Gu Lingqing smiled and gave her a comforting look: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary family banquet."

Having said that, after saying this, Gu Lingqing's expression darkened a bit.

In Gu Lingqing's view, holding a banquet in the palace is an extremely boring thing.

It's nothing more than listening to the maid dancer singing the previous song, and the emperor talking about the scene, it's really boring.

The concubine is happy, and since she and the prince entered the banquet, there has been an endless stream of people coming forward to wait for her.

It can be seen that the prince is also very happy. What this first son-in-law means to the prince is naturally indescribable.

Everyone surrounded Gu Zixing and waited respectfully. Gu Lingqing sat in the corner, sipping wine.

"Brother."

Hearing the voice from behind, Gu Lingqing paused while drinking, then turned around, looked at Gu Qi in front of her, and smiled heartily: "You're here." It seemed that she didn't let go of the quarrel of the previous few days. on heart.

Seeing Gu Lingqing greet him so gracefully, Gu Qi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his narrow-mindedness in the past two days, and immediately sat beside him: "Brother, that day, I..."

"Don't mention it again." Gu Lingqing stopped Gu Qi's words, helped him pour a glass of wine, and handed it to him, "I know you are worried about Zhao Min, and what you said that day was not wrong."

Gu Qi took the wine, clinked glasses with Gu Lingqing, and then the two drank it down in one gulp, smiling away their grievances.

"Look at the smug look on Gu Zixing's face." Gu Qi looked at Gu Zixing in the distance, with a somewhat disdainful tone.

"You have to be mentally prepared." Gu Lingqing looked at Gu Zixing and said such a sentence abruptly.

"Huh? What preparation?" Gu Qi was puzzled, not understanding what Gu Lingqing said.

Gu Lingqing didn't answer, just smiled, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and drank it all.

"The Emperor is here!"

Seeing that Gu Lingqing hadn't spoken, Gu Qi was about to ask more questions when he heard the eunuch's sharp voice. He immediately stopped talking, stood up, and looked at the dragon chair on the stage.

I saw the emperor, empress, and concubine Xian coming from the side, took their seats, and everyone saluted the emperor.

"Everyone loves to be flat."

Everyone sat down one after another, and saw the eunuch Li next to him pour a glass of wine for the emperor, and the emperor raised the wine.

"Today is just an ordinary family banquet, just to congratulate the crown princess, she is pregnant, please don't be restrained."

Seeing him pick up the wine glass, everyone got up one after another, picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses in the air, and drank one after another.

Gu Lingqing carefully observed the expressions of everyone in the hall, and saw that the smile on the queen's face never faded. Although the concubine Xian next to her was also smiling, the smile didn't reach her eyes. Seeing this, Gu Lingqing slightly raised her eyebrows. Mouth, lowered his head.

Gu Qi is not young anymore, he has already reached the crown, but there is not even a concubine room in the mansion, let alone spreading leaves for the royal family. After learning that the crown princess is pregnant, some people are afraid that they will not be able to sit still up.
