Shen Zhuo, who was originally pretending to be a quail in Gu Jue's arms, froze in Gu Jue's arms when he heard the deep and loud voice.

Even when he was put on the chair, he still didn't react and looked confused.

"Please sit down. Today is the winter solstice. Brothers, eat and drink as much as you want. The main thing today is to have fun." Gu Jue said and sat down.

It was not until Gu Jue picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into Shen Zhuo's bowl that Shen Zhuo came to his senses and looked at Gu Jue in confusion.

Seeing Shen Zhuo's doubtful and slightly confused eyes, Gu Jue smiled softly, the satisfaction and possession in his eyes had not yet disappeared, and his voice was soft.

"Today is the winter solstice, so save some room for dumplings later."

After hearing Gu Jue's words, Shen Zhuo realized that today was the winter solstice.

Looking up at the scene in front of him, Shen Zhuo felt it was incredible. He had stayed in the mansion for so long. He didn't know what happened to his father and mother.

Looking at the people in front of him wearing different clothes, Shen Zhuo felt depressed.

There were nearly ten tables in front of me, more than half of them were dressed in black, all of them were burly, they should be Gu Jue's men. The other small half were dressed in black, some in other clothes, but it was undeniable that everyone looked strong.

No wonder he was able to hide until now without anyone noticing. Shen Zhuo ate the food in his bowl numbly while laughing at himself.

As soon as he turned his eyes away, he met the eyes of a tall and burly man. There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, which was not hidden at all and was presented directly.

Shen Zhuo looked away and lowered his head to eat the food in the bowl.

The person who met his gaze was Lanxing.

He didn't hate Shen Zhuo, he just had a premonition that Shen Zhuo would harm Linglong.

Seeing people lowering their heads to eat, Lan Xing withdrew his gaze, looked at Gu Jue who was being toasted, and sighed softly. Forget it, let's talk about it after we finish eating. It's still a festival now, and we should still be happy during the festival.

The banquet was very lively, with people always coming to toast Gu Jue and Lan Xing, and Gu Jue never refused them. He would only occasionally add more food to Shen Zhuo's empty bowl.

Shen Zhuo was very well behaved and ate whatever he was given.

The banquet lasted a long time, and at the end, people basically stopped eating and focused on drinking. There were also people who wanted to toast Shen Zhuo, but they were often pulled away as soon as they got to Shen Zhuo.

The banquet was lively, but Shen Zhuo gradually became dazed.

The banquet hall was very lively, and the sound could be faintly heard in the backyard.

Gu Yuanhou guessed that Gu Jue might be entertaining guests, so he narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and made a decision.

He has been forced to stay here, he has had enough, now is a good time, so what if she is his daughter, as long as she threatens him, she can be sacrificed appropriately, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have this daughter.

Dark night,

Just when Gu Jue and his friends were drinking and eating meat, a group of people sneaked out of Gu Yuanhou's yard.

What he didn't know was that the group of people were dealt with as soon as they left the yard. Gu Yuanhou was still waiting for news expectantly.

Not only was there noise in Marquis Gu Yuan's courtyard, but the old marquis' courtyard, which was closer to the banquet hall, was also brightly lit.

Mr. Gu had already finished his dinner, but he was still sitting at the table listening to something.

Hearing the sounds coming from the banquet hall, Lord Gu was a little surprised.

He had always thought that Gu Jue only had those people who surrounded the Marquis' Mansion that day, but now, listening to the vague voice in his ears, the old Marquis Gu completely broke his previous perception of Gu Jue.

When Mr. Zhou came, he had tried to test the waters, thinking that there would be news coming out later.

But until now, no one from Zhou's family has come to the mansion, not even to deliver any message.

Today is even more unusual. The banquet hall is so lively, unlike today when there are so few people.

There were so many people who submitted to her and served her, and each of them was extraordinary.

Old Marquis Gu was thoughtful. If the Marquis's Mansion was destined to be without descendants, if the Gu Family had an excellent and powerful ruler, would the Gu Family find another way out?

Old Lord Gu's eyes changed, and he looked towards the banquet hall with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Prince Xiang's Mansion,

After finishing their meal, the prince and princess were sitting in the study playing chess.

"Today is the winter solstice. Chang'an is not around, so it's not lively at all." The princess sighed as she went down.

"Yes, I have already written a letter to Chang'an, but I don't know if Chang'an has received it." King Xiang had just made a move when he heard a sound of "eat".

"Ah? I got eaten again?"

Princess Xiang was in a better mood and reminded: "Send another letter tomorrow to urge them. Don't delay the palace banquet for the New Year."

As soon as the voice fell, an anxious voice came from the other side, "Wait a minute, I won't leave here anymore."

Princess Xiang looked at Prince Xiang speechlessly as he regretted his move.

Prince Xiang chuckled, "I know, Chang'an knows his limits and will definitely not miss the palace banquet. The Little New Year is almost here, and Chang'an is probably preparing to come back."

"It's good to know you're coming back. This time I'm back, I have to prepare for the Spring Examination, and then I have to go to court. I won't have time to go out of Chang'an for a long time to study."

Princess Xiang was very confident in her son. She never worried whether Shen Zhuo would not make the list, nor did she worry that Shen Zhuo would lose his composure.

No matter who loses their sense of proportion, Shen Zhuo will not lose it. This is the confidence Shen Zhuo gives them.

No one in the younger generation of Dayan could compare to Shen Zhuo. Shen Zhuo was recognized by the aristocratic family as the strongest of his generation. He was born to be in the court for his whole life and was a true child of destiny.
