Chapter 298-299 Consort Banquet

He didn't know each other at all, but fortunately, Chu Zheng on the side bowed to say hello, "The old minister has seen Concubine Xue."

"Mr. Chu, there is no need to be too polite." Concubine Xue had a smile on her lips, and then looked at Yu Gan, "Wen An is the one I grew up with, and now that he is about to marry, I am very reluctant.

I want to have a chat with Concubine Yu, can I? "

"Naturally." Yu Gan bowed respectfully, "It's the blessing of my humble minister."

Concubine Xue Gui nodded, then turned and left, "Come with me."

Yu Gan asked Gu Qingyuan in a low voice, "What's the situation with Mr. Gu? What should I say?"

"You can answer whatever Concubine Xue asks, there is nothing to worry about, just go." Gu Qingyuan said calmly.

Yu Gan was also relieved, he didn't think too much for the time being, and followed him up.Gongsun Yan behind him silently put her eyes on Yu Gan.Be aware of the situation at all times.

Concubine Xue Gui directly brought Yu Gan to the railing on the right side of the main hall, and then stopped.

The outside is full of lamp sockets, and it is a small garden, with bursts of fragrance coming in through the hall.

Yu Gan kept a decent distance from Concubine Xue, and looked at each other respectfully.There was a murmur in my heart at the same time.

Seeing Wen An grow up, how could Yu Gan believe such nonsense.

In the palace, one's own flesh and blood does not necessarily have feelings, let alone such a person with a relationship of interests and hostility?

Concubine Wei is a noble concubine, and Concubine Xue is also a noble concubine, and there is only one vacant queen position above.

It can be seen at a glance that it is a hostile relationship of interests.Yu Gan was thinking about why the other party was looking for him at this time, and at the same time, he was phrasing in his mind, intending to pretend to be stupid, and he would just ask three questions.Just don't say the wrong thing.

The two stood opposite each other for quite a while, and finally Concubine Xue Gui spoke slowly.

"Wen An really found a good son-in-law."

"Your Majesty's praise is ridiculous, and I'm terrified." Yu Gan said modestly.

"Although Wen An has been doted on since he was a child, he has a gentle temperament and may be a little self-willed at times. Please take care of me." Concubine Xue Gui continued.

Yu Gan assured, "Thank you for your teaching, my minister will definitely take care of Wen'an."

Next, Concubine Xue Gui continued to speak kind words and full of reluctance to Li Nianxiang, which made Yu Gan a little confused.

Does this girl really just like Li Nianxiang?

In the next second, Yu Gan directly denied this point.

Concubine Xue Gui squinted her seductive eyes, and asked softly, "Have you ever thought about why you received the imperial decree to become a son-in-law?"

Yu Gan was stunned, and said without any expression other than respect, "Your Majesty's imperial decree naturally has His Majesty's deep meaning, and I, as a subject, obey it."

Without waiting for Concubine Xue to pick out something, Yu Gan directly continued to add, "Speaking of old, this minister is grateful for His Majesty's will. This minister has loved Princess Wen'an for a long time.

But this imperial decree came down to the heart of the humble minister. "

Concubine Xue looked at Yu Gan who was bending over with great interest, and when she was about to ask another question, from the corner of her eye, she saw Concubine Wei and Li Nianxiang walking towards this side together.

She said directly and softly, "Your decree for the marriage was requested on behalf of the king and Concubine Wei. I just want to tell you that you know what you know, but you don't know your heart."

Yu Gan buried his head deeply and did not respond.

Concubine Xue Gui smiled lightly, rolled up her sleeves lightly, and remained silent.

"I don't know why my sister is looking for a son-in-law." Wei Guifei who came over directly asked with a smile.Li Nianxiang beside him saluted and greeted Concubine Xue Gui.

"It's nothing, I want to warn the son-in-law to treat us Wen'an better. After all, I watched Wen'an grow up," Concubine Xue gently covered her mouth and smiled, full of femininity.

"I see." Concubine Wei also smiled, then looked at Yu Gan and said, "My son-in-law, why don't you thank Concubine Xue for your teaching?"

"My minister thanked Concubine Xue Gui for her teaching, what Concubine Xue said, I will always remember it in my heart." Yu Qian bowed deeply again.

"That's very good. Then I won't bother you any more." After speaking, Concubine Xue left quietly.

Concubine Wei Gui looked at the back of the other party thoughtfully.

She was called by Li Nianxiang.Li Nianxiang, who was chatting with other princesses just now, has been paying attention to Yu Gan, seeing that he was called away by Concubine Xue alone, so he is not in a hurry.

Her mother and Concubine Xue were the most difficult to deal with. In her previous marriage, Concubine Xue stepped in and suggested many options for the consort.

Only then did Concubine Wei take the initiative to suggest Yu Gan to His Majesty.

How could Li Nianxiang have a good impression of this woman who almost ruined her life's marriage.

But her identity was not suitable for her to come out, so she hurriedly called her mother over to suppress the scene.

"My son-in-law, what did Concubine Xue Gui say to you just now?" Concubine Wei smiled softly and asked Yu Gan.

Yu Gan replied truthfully, "Just now Concubine Xue Guifei detailed Wen'an's goodness, let me treat Wen'an well."

"Oh? What does the son-in-law think?" Wei Guifei raised her eyebrows and asked.

"My son-in-law thinks it is very true." Yu Gan replied seriously and firmly, "It is my son-in-law's duty in his life to treat Wen'an well."

Li Nianxiang on the side lowered her head shyly when she heard Yu Gan's undisguised words, but the old concubine Wei Gui was unmoved at all, and just continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"

Yu Gan replied without hesitation, "There are some things that I would presume to say out loud. But I am the empress' son-in-law, and I should not lie to my empress.

Just now at the end, Concubine Wei suddenly asked her son-in-law if she knew why His Majesty wanted to give the marriage.Then he gave the answer that it was the suggestion of the empress and the king. "

Concubine Wei Gui was not moved at all by Yu Gan's disrespectful words, but instead agreed with the other party's frankness, because she had also brought up this matter with Yu Gan before,

Concubine Wei Gui asked in a calm tone, with a smile on her face.

"What does the son-in-law think?"

Yu Gan raised his head, looked directly at Concubine Wei, and said as usual, "My son-in-law is stupid, but he only knows one thing. I am married to Wen An. That is the family of the empress and Dai Wang.

I don't agree with anything that Concubine Xue Gui said.I just want to accompany Wen An to go on well, and then do what I can. "

Regarding this answer, Concubine Wei remained silent, and finally showed her face and said, "My son-in-law is interested, I still have someone to say hello to, so I will leave first.

You and Wen An tidy up your situation, Your Majesty will be here later. "

"Yes, empress, go slowly." Yu Gan bowed respectfully, watching the other party's back.

After Concubine Wei left, Li Nianxiang stayed here with Yu Gan, this is a quiet place, just the two of them.

"Nianxiang, it's your wit to move our mother and concubine here." Yu Gan looked at Li Nianxiang very relieved.

For Yu Gan's inconspicuous title, Li Nianxiang had long been helpless, and was too lazy to bother about it.He just said, "Stay away from Concubine Xue Gui from now on, she is not a good person."

Yu Gan became interested, "What is the origin of Concubine Xue Gui?"

Li Nianxiang replied, "It doesn't matter what her background is. She belongs to the Xue family, and the family power is quite powerful. Her father is now in an important position."

"Why is she so bad?" Yu Gan asked.

Li Nianxiang said angrily, "Before you played me a matchmaker, it almost drove me to death."

"There is such a thing?" Yu Gan's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "That's really disastrous. I have to stay away from her in the future. I really have no shame."

"Speak carefully." Li Nianxiang hurriedly stretched out her hands to cover Yu Gan's mouth nervously.

Yu Gan looked at the other party teasingly, held the other party's wrist with his backhand, and gently kissed his palm.

Feeling the warmth and numbness coming from the palm, Li Nianxiang suddenly blushed, his body became weak and at the same time felt extremely helpless at Yu Gan's audacity.

How could he do this!

Dare to do such a bold thing every time.

But at the same time, Li Nianxiang really liked such an unscrupulous Yu Gan.

Perhaps it is precisely because of Yu Gan's unscrupulousness that she fell in love so quickly.

"It's a big audience, how decent is it!" Li Nianxiang withdrew his right hand with the last of his strength, and said with a straight face.

"It's boring." Yu Gan curled his lips, "No one looks at this side, don't worry."

"It's better to be more dignified on this kind of occasion, it's not good for people to get caught." Li Nianxiang said again.

"Got it. Xiangxiang." Yu Gan smiled.

Li Nianxiang began to twitch again, extremely uncomfortable with the address, she glared at Yu Gan angrily to eliminate this discomfort, finally paused, and asked.

"Yu Gan, what did Concubine Xue say just now... what do you think?"

"Are you asking about your mother and acting king persuading His Majesty to give you a marriage?" Yu Gan asked.

"Yeah." Li Nianxiang nodded.

Yu Gan didn't answer this question immediately, but grabbed Li Nianxiang's wrist, and then sat down on the horizontal wooden board beside the railing.

Then he said slowly, "Actually, this matter is of course very happy to me. Because I can marry you. I have earned blood, and I have no loss at all."

Li Nianxiang, who was in the mood to listen to Yu Gan's serious answer, was both funny and moved when he heard the answer.

She shook Yu Gan's hand, "Speak seriously."

"That's very serious."

"Don't make trouble."

"Okay, let's be serious," Yu Gan said, holding back his teasing smile, "Actually, this matter is really nothing. When something happens, just look forward.

Of course, it is undeniable that your mother and acting king must have considered me when they chose me as consort.But no matter what the consideration is, it is not important at the moment I get married with you.

I can't avoid this kind of fetters, no matter what the future king or your mother does, I can't avoid it.

But what I want to tell you is that there are some things we have to avoid.

It's not that you should avoid it, you should think more about it.

What we build is our own family, and when we have our own children in the future, we think more about our own little family than everyone else.

Do you understand what I mean? "

This answer was expected by Li Nianxiang, but when she heard this, she still got a little complicated.

In the end, she directly held Yu Gan's hand tightly, "Yeah, I understand. I know how to do it."

Yu Gan smiled lightly, stretched out his left hand, and gently pinched Li Nianxiang's little cheek.

Feeling Yu Gan's love, Li Nianxiang was in a daze, and she suddenly asked, "Yu Gan, tell me, after we get married, how will we live our days?"

"You'll know when the time comes. It's meaningless for me to explain anything to you now." Yu Gan continued to pinch the other person's face, "Life is seen with the eyes."

"Cut. It sounds like you have a lot of experience."

Yu Gan smiled, no longer entangled in this topic, just sat quietly with Li Nianxiang.

The tip of the nose smells the fragrance of flowers and plants, and the heartbeat feels each other.The excitement around them has nothing to do with them, there is only each other in the world.

A kind of peace of mind.

Li Nianxiang liked this feeling very much, looking down at the hand he was holding tightly with Yu Gan, his heart was extremely peaceful.

Even when Yu Gan was going to continue teasing Li Nianxiang, an old monk with big eyebrows and big ears walked towards them.

It is the emptiness of the White Horse Temple.

Yu Gan quickly stood up, clasped his hands together and said hello, "Boy, I have met Master. Why are you here, Master?"

"I have met Master." Li Nianxiang also stood up and said hello.

Kong Ru lightly smiled and said, "The poor monk has known Princess Wen'an for many years, and he is also acquainted with the little friend. Naturally, the poor monk wanted to bless you two at the dinner party."

"Thank you, Master." Li Nianxiang clasped his hands together and nodded reverently.

She has copied so many scriptures in the White Horse Temple, but Kong Ru is basically responsible for receiving them. Looking at the entire White Horse Temple, Li Nianxiang is most familiar with Kong Ru.

"Boy, thank you, Master, for your blessing." Yu Gan smiled brightly, "I wonder what good gift Master has prepared for us as husband and wife?"

Li Nianxiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately became anxious.

It doesn't matter if you ask others for congratulatory gifts, it's too much to ask a poor monk.

She said directly to Yu Gan, "What are you talking about, the master is a monk, so there are so many rules."

Yu Gan was startled, and hastily patted his head, "Master, don't get me wrong. I thought it was a custom. Just now everyone gave it away, so I just said it by the way. I'm sorry, Master."

Kong Ru's expression was also stunned at first, he did come empty-handed, he didn't expect to need to give gifts at the banquet.

But Li Nianxiang reminded, and Yu Gan explained that he had to care about this.

Are these two couples singing oboe here?

Although he is a monk who sees through the red dust, he still wants face.Everyone shouted one mouthful at a time, and it was really unreasonable not to give something.

Kong Ru touched his simple monk robe up and down, and said apologetically, "The poor monk forgot to bring a congratulatory gift."

"How about it." Saying that, Kong Ru took off a string of black prayer beads on his wrist and handed them over, "Although these prayer beads are only made of ordinary spiritual wood.

But he has also followed the poor monk for many years, so he has some spirituality.There is no guarantee of great effect, but if you carry it with you, you will be immune to evil.Ordinary ghosts are even more difficult to get close to. "

Yu Gan was actually a little disappointed in his heart, he was the one who was least afraid of ordinary ghosts.

But naturally it wouldn't show on his face, he took the beads with a smile, "Thank you Master for the congratulatory gift. I have thanked Master for Wen An."

Yu Gan put the bracelet directly into Li Nianxiang's hand, and said, "Keep it close to your body."

"You take it with you. You usually have more guarantees when dealing with those ghost cases." Li Nianxiang shook his head and refused.

Yu Gan said solemnly and affectionately, "You are safe and sound is the greatest guarantee for me. Take care!"

There was no room for Li Nianxiang to refuse, so Yu Gan let the former accept with a straight face.

Yu Gan has not done this kind of thing like borrowing flowers to offer Buddha once or twice, and he is very familiar with it.Besides, he really wanted to give it to Li Nianxiang.

Li Nianxiang's face was full of emotion, he only thought of Yu Gan's kindness to him, and he didn't want to send Buddha strings at all.

Kong Ru always looked at the couple with a peaceful smile on his face.

"Master, I didn't see you at the palace gate just now, when did you come?" Yu Gan asked curiously.

"I'm in the palace." Kong Ru replied.

Yu Gan was taken aback, "Could it be that Master has been in the palace since the last time we met?"

"That's right." Kong Ru nodded.

Yu Gan didn't dare to continue to ask what happened to the empty cat in the palace all the time.But he could probably guess that it was related to that Yuehua layman.

That second-rank ghost cultivator has always been thinking about that forbidden place in the imperial city.Kong Ru is probably here to hold the line.

Where does Yu Gan dare to ask what kind of planes people want to build these days, he must hide as far away as possible, and he can't meddle indiscriminately.

At this moment, there was commotion at the door.It's the beginning of the morning.It was almost time for the party to start.

Yu Ganxun looked over, and it was the emperor Li Xun who walked in.

Li Xun, who was dressed in a light yellow dragon robe, still had a warm smile on his face, followed by Concubine Wei on the right.Tonight is the two of them hosting the dinner.

Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang stopped chatting with Kong Ru and walked towards the Son of Heaven.

"My minister has seen His Majesty."

"Wen An has met the emperor."

Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang saluted Li Xun respectfully and said hello.

Li Xun first helped Li Nianxiang up, and patted the back of her hand lightly, then looked at Yu Gan, and hummed lightly.

Only then did Yu Gan raise his head, and stood sideways behind the emperor.

Li Xun slowly turned his gaze to other people, and said loudly, "Tonight's banquet is a consort banquet hosted by me for Princess Wen'an and Concubine Yu.

You don't have to be polite, just take a seat. "

"Master, congratulations to the princess and the son-in-law for their wedding." A group of princes and nobles stood up and shouted before taking their seats in front of their respective seats.

Li Xun walked towards the main seat with big strides, and his long table was placed on the table a section above the ground.Concubine Wei sat down on her right side.

A little further down are two separate small tables separated on both sides.

Yu Gan sat on Li Xun's side, and Li Nianxiang sat on Wei Guifei's side.

Under the table, there are many small tables arranged according to the position.This Daqi implements a meal sharing system, which is still very good.

Yu Gan sat upright, without squinting, he was still a little nervous.

There are all bosses below, and most of their eyes are lingering on themselves.It's no wonder that the bosses are not nervous.

After everyone at the scene was seated clearly, Gong Tingzhi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up, holding a scroll of silk books in his hand.He first bowed his head to the emperor Li Xun, and then recited aloud.

"Today, His Majesty is setting up a consort banquet for Princess Wen'an and her consort Yu..."

The voice of the court was clear and clear, and spread throughout the main hall, it was nothing more than some eulogizing essays.That's what the people in the Ministry of Rites do on such occasions.

It was long and tedious, and I read it for a full half an hour.

It has to be said that the patience of the ancients was enough, and none of the ministers in the hall seemed bored, and they all listened attentively to the servant of the palace blowing the rainbow fart of Tianjia.

Finally, after the palace reading and sitting down, Li Xun raised his glass and said with a faint smile, "Wen An is the eldest princess of Da Qi, and she has been by my side since she was a child.

Now that I can decide on a lifelong event, I am very pleased.

Let's all have a drink with me to celebrate this happy event. "

"My congratulations to Princess Wen'an and Yu's son-in-law for their wedding." The repeater action began again below.

Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang quickly stood up, raised their glasses and smiled to welcome the blessings of these people.

After the two parties finished their courtesies, the formal dinner began. The banquet was like flowing water, and one after another exquisite dishes were brought up one by one.

Singing and dancing began in the middle of the huge main hall.The atmosphere soon became lively, with civil servants and generals chatting in twos and threes.

Yu Gan sat on it with a stiff posture like a fool, his face was so stiff with laughter.

For him, what annoys him the most is this kind of super useless social place, especially when he is the protagonist.

But there is no way, this kind of banquet is really impossible without it, so it can only be done slowly.

Fortunately, tonight is just a feast for the son-in-law in the name of the emperor, so Yu Gan doesn't need to toast in circles.

A banquet thus ended perfectly at the right time.Those ministers left one after another, while Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang stood at the door and nodded their heads one by one, sending them off.

After almost everyone left, only the emperor and concubine Wei remained in the huge main hall.

Yu Gan stood obediently with his hands tied, but the emperor's lecture he imagined did not happen.

Li Xun just walked to his side and paused for a while, then only said one sentence: Go back earlier.

After that, he took Wei Guifei and left first.

Yu Gan was a little puzzled, he looked at Li Nianxiang in surprise, but didn't ask any questions.

Li Nianxiang obviously saw Yu Gan's doubts, just shook his head and said, "Many times, I don't understand Father's actions. He didn't say anything just now, so don't take it to heart."

"Okay." Yu Gan smiled.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Nianxiang was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Let's go too."

"Okay." Yu Gan didn't get excited, and Eunuch Lin was waiting not far away.

The two also walked away, and Eunuch Lin took two young eunuchs to help carry the congratulatory gift that Yu Gan had just received and went out of the palace together.

After leaving the palace, Li Nianxiang got into the carriage and left surrounded by the bustling guard of honor.The next time we meet, we can only wait until the wedding day.

"Eunuch Lin, thank you for helping me read things." Yu Gan clasped his fists to thank Eunuch Lin.

"The son-in-law is being polite, this is what a servant girl should do." Eunuch Lin said with a smile, "Do you want your servant girl to help the son-in-law deliver things to the house?"

Yu Gan said, "No, I'll just take it back with me. Eunuch Lin will go back first, and everything will be done."

"Okay, the servant girl will leave first." Eunuch Lin asked the box to be put down, and then turned back to the palace.

Although the box was heavy, it was nothing to Yu Gan, and he picked it up lightly with one hand.If I knew it earlier, I would bring the storage bracelet.

The rest of the people in Dali Temple also left separately, only Gu Qingyuan was left waiting for Yu Gan by the carriage.

When he saw a box as big as Yu Gan walking into the carriage, Gu Qingyuan's head was covered with black lines.

Just now, he saw Li Nianxiang's behavior of forcibly accepting black congratulatory gifts, and he was helpless and angry. He didn't know what kind of environment could cultivate such a young man.

Obviously only 19 years old, the means of making money are superb.

"Boy, I advise you to restrain yourself and take as little ill-gotten gains as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Gu." Yu Gan promised obediently, "This is just everyone's enthusiasm, and I really can't push it away. It won't happen in the future."

The corner of Gu Qingyuan's mouth twitched twice. He knew that Yu Gan didn't take his words seriously at all, so he had no choice but to let someone drive him back home.
