Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Because of Qin Lu's coquettish manipulation just now, the emperor still had an anger in his heart that he couldn't vent.

After entering the banquet hall, his complexion was naturally not good.

Although the officials didn't know why the emperor was so angry, they thought of the emperor's moody temper recently, so they didn't think too much about it.

But the emperor was not happy, and the officials who were laughing just now naturally didn't dare to go too far. For a while, the atmosphere in the banquet hall, which was not lively enough before, became a little dignified again.

To put it bluntly, the Qionglin Banquet is a celebration banquet for Xinke Jinshi. The main purpose is to give the emperor a chance to get to know Xinke Jinshi.

There are only a few kinds of events at the Tianqi banquet, either singing and dancing performances, drinking orders, or impromptu poems.

Reluctantly, Gu Yanshu was really not good at drinking orders and poetry, and after a while, he felt a little boring, so he blatantly touched the fish.

Gu Yanshu's bored appearance was noticed by many people.

However, due to Qin Lu's reputation, Gu Yanshu is not a person to be provoked, but there is no one who does not have a long-term eye to forcefully come forward to make trouble.

However, the eldest prince, who had always taken it as his duty to find fault with Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu, did not come because he was feeling unwell today.

The emperor also saw Gu Yanshu's reaction in his eyes, but when he thought of his unlucky son's "marriage" remarks just now, he finally swallowed back the scolding that came to his lips.

Who knows if his unlucky son will say something annoying if he fires him.

This is also convenient for Gu Yanshu, who can sit in his own seat, eat, drink and drink, and can observe this year's new subjects by the way.

Maybe it's because of the "Kyoto Daily", or maybe it's because Tianqi's best colleges gather in Kyoto, and many of this year's Shinke Scholars are from Kyoto.

Gu Yanshu even discovered an acquaintance from it, that is, Fan Zhiyuan who once spoke for him at Shi Ri Zui, and later won the bid for the qualification of laying cement roads in a city at the bidding meeting held by the Ministry of Households.

Gu Yanshu even learned from the discussion of the people sitting on the side that Fan Zhiyuan was the candidate for the imperial examination.

When he heard about this, surprise flashed in Gu Yanshu's eyes:

Apart from the ten day drunk and the bidding, Gu Yanshu also heard about other things about Fan Zhiyuan.

Among them, what impressed Gu Yanshu the most was Fan Zhiyuan's keen business sense.

Since the opening of Gu Yanshu's beverage shop, department store, and private custom clothing store, it has inevitably caused a certain blow to those in the same industry.

And because of Gu Yanshu's endless new ideas, many people even closed their doors before they realized it.

But Fan Zhiyuan was different.

Fan Zhiyuan realized almost immediately that he could not fight against Gu Yanshu, and at the same time kept up with Gu Yanshu's pace at the fastest speed.

The idea of ​​"you can't beat it and join it" is a bit of a rogue, but at certain times, it works well.

Fan Zhiyuan directly applied this point to the extreme. He does not have Gu Yanshu's flexible mind and cannot come up with endless new ideas, but he can still follow Gu Yanshu's footsteps and drink soup.

Later, Fan Zhiyuan even came to talk to Gu Yanshu once or twice about cooperation,

If Gu Yanshu occupies half of the cake in the current Kyoto market, Fan Zhiyuan will occupy a quarter of it, and the remaining quarter will be shared equally by other retail investors.

Originally, Gu Yanshu thought that Fan Zhiyuan was so keen on shopping malls that he might be slightly inferior in terms of talent and learning.

Who knew that Gu Yanshu was wrong.

Although there was not much competition in this year's general examination, being able to win the Tanhua position in one fell swoop is enough to show that Fan Zhiyuan is a talented student.

Because of this, Gu Yanshu inevitably took a few extra glances at Fan Zhiyuan.

Perhaps it was because Gu Yanshu's eyes were too obvious, which attracted Fan Zhiyuan's attention. When Gu Yanshu cast his gaze on Fan Zhiyuan again, Fan Zhiyuan also looked back at Gu Yanshu.

Then, facing Gu Yanshu, he raised his hand and raised the wine glass in his hand.

Gu Yanshu didn't feel embarrassed when he was discovered by peeking, and also raised his wine glass to Fan Zhiyuan.

The two exchanged a tacit smile, and at the same time they were lifted up and took a sip.

If it wasn't for worrying that the Qionglin Banquet was not a place to talk, Gu Yanshu even wanted to hand over Fan Zhiyuan to share his thoughts and experiences.

But now, Gu Yanshu can only put down the wine glass in his hand and start to focus on the food in front of him.

Needless to say, although Gu Yanshu doesn't like to come to the palace, he has to admit that the chef's skills in the palace are really good.

The color, fragrance and taste are all good, and the presentation is pretty good. If it wasn't for seeing the emperor's expression not quite right, Gu Yanshu even wanted to find a chance to abduct the two royal chefs from the emperor's hands and bring them back to the palace.

Finally, after drinking for three rounds, Gu Yanshu also felt that he had eaten enough, and was about to turn his head and whisper something to pass the time with his little deer.

Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she found that her little deer had left the banquet hall at some point.

When he discovered this, Gu Yanshu was stunned for a moment:

What about his deer?

A fawn the size of his family.

The little deer who was helping him to pick out the bones and shells of the shrimp just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?

When Xingren who was standing behind said in a low voice, "The eldest prince is here, the lord went to greet him outside the palace", he reacted belatedly:

Oh, the main purpose of my Xiaolu coming to the palace today is to solve the eldest prince.

Forgive the emperor for calling him over and talking too much about it just now, so that Gu Yanshu directly forgot about it. At this time, after Xingren's reminder, he only thought of this incident.

Subconsciously, he raised his head and glanced at the main seat, and happened to see the scene where the prince leaned into the emperor's ear and spoke.

When the prince got up, the emperor happened to glance at the direction where Gu Yanshu was sitting.

With just such a look, Gu Yanshu knew what Wang Gonggong said in the emperor's ear just now:

I'm afraid he is also telling the emperor about something related to the First Prince.

Then, Gu Yanshu saw a complicated look on the emperor's face.

Although the emperor concealed it quickly, Gu Yanshu still saw a trace of bitterness and loneliness from it.

Thinking about the emperor's various reactions since he knew about the eldest prince's ulterior motives, as well as his behavior of giving the eldest prince a chance again and again, Gu Yanshu seemed to understand why the emperor had such an expression.

However, the relationship between Gu Yanshu and the emperor was normal, and there was even a dispute just now, so Gu Yanshu naturally didn't have the intention to comfort the emperor.

He simply turned his gaze back and placed it in the hall, above the singing and dancing being performed.

As a result, after looking at it, Gu Yanshu found something wrong:

Although Gu Yanshu didn't know much about Tianqi's singing and dancing programs, he came from a famous family anyway, so he still had the appreciation that he should have.

Almost at a glance, Gu Yanshu found that there seemed to be some problems with the positions of these dancers.

Especially standing in the c position, no matter how you look at the movements in your hands, it makes people feel a sense of disobedience.

Before Gu Yanshu took a closer look, he felt a flash of silver light in front of his eyes.

Gu Yanshu also experienced many assassinations in the last days, almost instantly, Gu Yanshu realized what this dancer wanted to do.

"Father, be careful!"

Between lightning and flint, the movements of the hands are even faster than the brain.

When Gu Yanshu realized it, he had already let out a low voice, and even picked up the porcelain plate in front of him and threw it out.

Following Gu Yanshu's actions, other people also noticed the strangeness of these dancers.

Looking up and seeing the short blade in Wu Ji's hand, she was instantly horrified, and hurriedly exclaimed:

"There are assassins, escort!"

This sound was like a thunder on the ground, and it directly caused the banquet hall to explode.

Although the original atmosphere of the banquet hall was a bit sluggish, it was considered orderly, but now when something happened, it became a little chaotic.

However, before the officials could react, they discovered that at some point in the banquet hall, a few people in black costumes appeared in the banquet hall, and in the blink of an eye, they controlled the dancers in the hall stand up.

The emperor sitting on the throne spoke at the right time:

"In a panic, what's the style?"

Although it was a scolding, it has to be said that the emperor's voice penetrated into the hearts of those present like a booster.

The person who was a little flustered just now calmed down instantly.

Those who can sit at the Qionglin Banquet are not fools, even this year's Shinke Jinshi is also the best among Tianqi students.

It was just an instant effort, and everyone had already figured out the situation at this time:

Although I don't know why these dancers suddenly wanted to assassinate the emperor, but obviously the emperor was well prepared, otherwise these guards would not have come so fast.

Realizing this, many people subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Apart from……

Gu Yanshu picked up the wine glass in front of him, and calmly glanced at everyone in the banquet hall.

Except for a few officials who stood firmly on the side of the eldest prince, their complexions were a little pale at this time, and even their eyes showed a hint of despair, the reactions of the others could be regarded as normal.

After the calm in the banquet hall returned, some people couldn't sit still, and they got up and wanted to express their opinions.

However, before the man opened his mouth to speak, there was a loud noise from outside the banquet hall.

Listening carefully, it seems that from the noisy sound, the shouts of soldiers and the sound of the collision of weapons can be heard.

Among them, the sound of the handover of weapons is particularly prominent.

Even though judging from the volume, the sound was not too close to the banquet hall, but the people in the banquet hall felt that these sounds were extremely harsh.

There had just been an attempted assassination incident in the banquet hall, and now hearing these unusual sounds, everyone had an answer in their hearts almost instantly.

Some of them were timid, and their feet even felt a little weak after they came to their senses. If it wasn't for the help of the colleagues next to them, they might not even be able to stand up.

There were also those who were more clear-headed, and looked around the banquet hall as quickly as possible, trying to find some clues.

It's just that this group of people, after seeing the empty seat next to Gu Yanshu, where Qin Lu should be sitting, turned ugly.

Such an obvious change in expression did not escape Gu Yanshu's eyes at all.

Gu Yanshu guessed the thoughts of these people almost instantly, and subconsciously sneered:

If my Xiaolu really wanted to do something, how could he give these people a chance to think wildly?

Just as Gu Yanshu was observing the state of beings in the banquet hall, the emperor sitting on the main seat spoke again:

"What are you panicking about? Sit down. Who did the Fei Hua Ling get just now? Continue!"
