The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Mingjin and Gu Mingheng didn't know what Yuan Yu was thinking.

They were used to doing this on a daily basis and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Wait until you enter the house.

Mingjin invited Gu Mingheng to sit at the table outside the screen.

"There are many guests at home today. I will entertain the female guests inside, and my second brother will entertain the guests outside. If Your Majesty needs anything, please tell my second brother."

Gu Mingheng naturally said, "Just do your thing and don't worry about me."

Mingjin actually still felt that it was inappropriate.

That day, I said that after the Princess's Mansion opened, I would treat Gu Mingheng to a good meal, but in the end, because of my thoughts, so many people came together...

But at this point, there was no other way but to say to Gu Mingheng, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality."

But I was thinking in my heart.

Before the Qianqiu Banquet, if there is a chance, I will treat Gu Mingheng to a good meal again.

Just the two of them.

Just like when we were in the palace.

I believe that by then, her mood should be completely calm, and she will no longer feel uncomfortable about being alone.

Think so.

Mingjin breathed a sigh of relief again.

"this is for you."

Before Mingjin went in, Gu Mingheng handed the brocade box in his hand to him.

Maybe the gift he gave me before was too precious.

Seeing Mingjin looking at the brocade box and pursing his lips slightly, as if hesitating, Gu Mingheng quickly added: "It's not a valuable thing."

I’m afraid Mingjin won’t believe it.

He even added, “Really.”

Ming Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this.

She didn't want to receive another box of treasures.

She still has the box of red beads aside, not knowing what to do with it.

If I order another box, I really won’t be able to pay it back.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mingjin took it with a smile.

The others also came in at this time. Yuan Yu was the most relaxed one among them. Others were in awe of Gu Mingheng and didn't know what to say.

He had no reverence for it.

Seeing Ming Jin taking the gift, he smiled and said, "I just wanted to take a look, but he wouldn't let me. Why don't you open it and let me see what good things he gave me this time."

Gu Mingheng didn't care.

The things he gave were never things that could not be seen by others.

But Ming Jin just smiled, holding the brocade box and said, "It's time for lunch. Second Master, why don't you sit down first? It won't be too late to enjoy it later after you've had enough food and wine."

This is naturally a polite remark.

Yuan Yu did not insist and smiled: "Okay, I'm really a little hungry."

Ming Jin smiled and told Aunt Pei to serve the dishes, and then said to Ming Jingting: "Second brother, I'll trouble you here."

Ming Jingting nodded: "I don't need to, you go ahead."

He was nervous too.

After all, the person he was facing today was the King of Chang'an, whom even his father feared.

Just ask the civil and military officials in the court, who does not respect him?

What's more, he is a student of the Imperial Academy.

But today he must support Seventh Sister. No matter how much he respects her, he cannot humiliate her.

Ming Jin felt relieved and led the others inside.

After entering.

She asked Hua Sui to keep the brocade box carefully.

"Then your Majesty, Ji Qing, let's sit down too."

After Ming Jin and the others entered, Ming Jingting took the initiative to assume the responsibility of the host, and greeted Gu Mingheng and Yuan Yu. He also said to Zhou Que, who had not spoken to him the whole time and seemed to be invisible beside him, "Cousin, you sit down too."

Zhou nodded lightly and sat down with Ming Jingting.

"Who is this?"

Yuan Yu didn't know Zhou Que.

After sitting down, he asked Ming Jingting a question.

Ming Jingting smiled and introduced them: "This is my cousin, the third young master of the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion. He used to be in poor health and rarely showed up in public."

"Third Young Master?"

Yuan Yu thought for a while before remembering Zhou Que's identity.

As far as I can remember, I did hear that the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion had a bastard son, who was born to the deceased concubine of the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion.

After all, the absurdity of the Earl of Qingyuan was well-known. In the past, he even favored his concubine and killed his wife. Those things in his family were once spread very widely in the city.

However, Yuan Yu had never met Zhou Que, he only knew that the Zhou family disliked this bastard very much.

Whenever the Zhou family's legitimate son appeared, he would clamor to kill his illegitimate son.

Although Yuan Yu despised Zhou Xun.

But it has nothing to do with him after all.

Over the years, he had never heard of the Third Young Master. He thought that the Third Young Master had long passed away, but he didn't expect...

He saw that Zhou still had his eyes downcast and had no intention of speaking, but seemed very dull.

He was somewhat surprised that he would come here today, but Zhou Xun was not there.

But if Zhou Xun were here, I guess I wouldn't be able to enjoy the meal today. He is a drunkard with a foul mouth. Calling him a dandy is too high a call.

"Drink."

Gu Mingheng spoke.

Ming Jingting also hurriedly said, "Drink first, drink first."

Because Gu Mingheng was there, everyone was a little afraid of his identity at first. They felt uncomfortable speaking and didn't dare to speak too loudly.

But Gu Mingheng did not rely on his status or the position of an elder to preach.

What's more, there were two free-spirited people, Yuan Yu and Ming Jingting, in the room, chatting and laughing outside to improve the atmosphere.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the room became much more natural, and even Ming Sheng and Zhou Shuangyue, the two most timid ones, dared to speak in a low voice.

There was a square table outside where four people sat.

Inside was a small round table. In addition to Ming Jin and several female relatives, A Bao and Ming Jinghuai were also there.

Ming Jin saw that the two children were halfway through their meal and became restless, looking outside from time to time, but because of the rules, he did not dare to suggest leaving.

She smiled and said, "When you're full, go out and play. If you're hungry later, the kitchen is still steaming red date cakes. If you want to eat some, ask the maid to get them for you."

A Bao's eyes lit up and he immediately moved his butt off the chair.

Then he pulled Ming Jinghuai's sleeve and said to him, "Young Master, I'll take you out to play." He had lived in the Princess's Mansion for a while and was already very familiar with the place.

He also has his own house here.

He had seen the young master's house and wanted to take the young master to see his place.

The elder sister and the princess bought him a lot of things, and he wanted to share them with the young master.

Ming Jinghuai was very moved when he heard this, but he was used to following the rules in his daily life. When he was in the Marquis' Mansion, he could not move his chair even after dinner. He had to wait until the elders left before he could leave with the maids and concubines.

now……

He glanced at Mingjin.

Ming Jin still looked at him with a smile, and said to him gently: "Go ahead, there are not so many rules here."

Ming Jinghuai then smiled with relief.

Watching the two children leave holding hands, Ming Jin took another sip of fruit wine.

Hearing Zhou Shuangyue and Ming Sheng saying "Don't drink anymore, it will be bad if you get drunk", she smiled and was about to tell them "It's okay to get drunk" because she had already cleaned up the guest rooms for them, so even if they got drunk, they would have a place to rest.

But before he could finish his words, he heard the voices of Yuan Yu and the others coming from outside the screen.

"Don't just congratulate me. Our King Chang'an will also have good things coming soon."

Mingjin guessed what this good news was almost immediately.

Although it was not the first time he had heard it, but hearing it so closely at this moment, with Gu Mingheng still present, Mingjin couldn't help but let the smile falter on his face.

She lowered her eyes and pretended not to hear.

But for a moment, I didn’t know what to say.

Just as he was about to pick up the wine cup and take another sip, he heard Gu Mingheng's voice coming from outside: "Yuan Yu."

It was a dissatisfied and obstructive voice.

Mingjin didn't know why.

But thinking about Gu Mingheng's personality, he probably doesn't like being talked about.

She continued to drink.

"What? I'm not wrong. Your aunt and uncle can't wait to see you get married and have children." Although Yuan Yu was not drunk, he was indeed a little tipsy.

Otherwise, he would definitely be able to sense Gu Mingheng's unhappiness.

Gu Mingheng looked at him and said, "You are drunk."

He felt a little annoyed.

Gu Mingheng didn't know what he was worried about.

What Yuan Yu said was true. This was indeed the case. His brother and sister-in-law mentioned it to him when he entered the palace some time ago.

Besides, at his age, he should be getting married.

Postponed until now.

When he came back, he had promised his brother that he would settle down this year.

That's why the royal brother was so happy and enthusiastic about planning and arranging things for him.

In the past, it was because I was worried about Mingjin.

But now, Mingjin has left home. She now has good friends, relatives, status, and a place that can shelter her from the wind and rain.

Everything he could do has been done.

He didn't know how else he could help her.

A powerful husband who loves her? But he sees that she has no intention of marrying anyone.

She is living a good life now.

But why couldn't his heart settle down?

Instead, it's becoming more and more annoying.

This shouldn't be the case.

Obviously, when he heard Yuan Yu talking about this on the way here, he wasn't that annoyed.

Why now...

He was so annoying.

"What? How could I get drunk with just this little bit of wine?" Yuan Yu muttered in dissatisfaction.

Ming Jingting could see that the Prince of Chang'an didn't want to talk about this matter any more, so he laughed it off and said, "I do want something good to happen, but unfortunately no girl likes me."

"Brother Ji Qing, if you find a suitable candidate, please think of me."

"You guy-"

Yuan Yu was a little drunk at this time, and didn't think too much. He just pointed at Ming Jingting and laughed.

Soon the matter was over.

But except for Yuan Yu who was already a little drunk, everyone could more or less feel that Gu Mingheng did not say as much as before.

It would be better if there was a screen inside.

Ming Jingting outside was in agony. There were four people at the table. Yuan Yu was a little drunk and spoke incoherently, while Zhou Que was a silent person who didn't say a word during the whole meal.

He alone had to put a lot of thought into it, fearing that he would not entertain him well and make the King of Chang'an unhappy.

I can only be more careful and dare not say a wrong word.

Gu Mingheng also noticed it.

After a long silence, he suddenly put down the wine cup in his hand and said to Ming Jingting, "I remembered that I have some things to do in the palace, so I will go back first."

His words were so abrupt that no one could react.

Gu Mingheng caught a glimpse of the group of people behind the screen and they all paused. He wanted to say something to Mingjin, but he was a little annoyed that he had ruined such a good banquet.

perhaps……

He shouldn't have come.

It would have made people feel uncomfortable in the first place, and now it has ruined their mood.

It would be better not to come in the first place.

He pursed his lips and looked away.

Seeing Ming Jingting react, he was terrified and wanted to stand up to see him off. Gu Mingheng said, "No need to see you off. I can go out by myself."

After Gu Mingheng finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Yu again.

"Take good care of him." He reminded Ming Jingting.

Ming Jingting naturally responded in a stammering voice.

Gu Mingheng looked at the group of people who had stood up behind the screen, and walked out without saying anything more.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Ming Sheng Na Na.

Ming Jin looked at Gu Mingheng's departing figure through the screen. Without hesitation, he said, "I'll go see the prince off," and chased after him.
