Today's banquet was originally requested by Pei Jinting and the emperor.
The purpose was to allow the emperor to grant a marriage between him and Gu Qingyuan.
Unexpectedly, the port queen passed out.
Fortunately, the emperor has already granted the marriage, and the marriage has been completed. All we have to do is wait for Qin Tian to detect a good time and welcome Najib.
The queen's face was as pale as paper and her chest was so bruised that she definitely didn't seem to be pretending to be sick.
For a while, it was impossible to hold a good banquet.
The emperor immediately called the imperial physician to diagnose the queen's pulse and sent her back to Fengyi Palace.
Before leaving, he glanced at Pei Jinting and said in a low voice, "Go back first. It's none of your business."
Before Pei Jinting could say anything, the emperor had already left.
There were many ministers attending the banquet, and they gathered around Gu Shao and Duke Cheng'en to congratulate them.
Some people can't help but murmur that the third son of the Pei family has always been unruly and dissolute. I heard that he rejected many marriage proposals in the past.
However, he seemed to have come into conflict with the adopted daughter of the Zhenguo Palace whose origins were unknown.
First they kidnapped the bride, and after they reconciled, they asked the emperor again to grant them a marriage.
I don’t know what kind of poison the adopted daughter cast on the Third Young Master Pei, but it happened to her again and again.
Some families who have no daughters are even thinking about adopting some girls and raising them to be more dignified. Maybe they can bring back some wealth and glory to their families in the future.
No matter what others thought, Pei Jinting and Gu Qingyuan, newly married couples, were walking side by side on the palace road.
The palace city, with its glazed tiles and vermilion walls, was so gorgeous and majestic that it was the supreme place in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
"What are you thinking about?"
Pei Jinting led Gu Qingyuan as she walked down the Zhuhonggong Lane. Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, she couldn't help but ask softly.
Gu Qingyuan said after a while, "Is this how you solemnly promised to marry me in a beautiful way?"
In the beginning, the marriage-robbing incident happened because of their alliance.
It's not a very honorable way to tie them together. No matter how good they are, they are still criticized by the world.
This time, Pei Jinting used the best way to reconnect their marriage.
"You don't like this?" Pei Jinting asked her uncertainly.
In order to prepare for today's marriage, he had been as busy as a spinning top in the past few days, sorting out the evidence brought back from outside and submitting it to the imperial court.
Gu Qingyuan shook her head and looked up at the dead branches covered with snow, "Thank you. I like it very much."
Pei Jinting's brilliant eyes curled up, as if they had been soaked in the light of the stars.
In the Zhuhong Palace Alley, palace people and chamberlains carrying lanterns passed by from time to time.
After they bowed to the noble man, someone quietly raised their eyes and saw that the mighty Lord Pei was actually carrying a girl in a complicated dress on his back.
"Gu Yuanyuan. You can never divorce your husband again."
It is rare for a royal marriage to lead to reconciliation.
"When we go back, we must set some rules. We will not allow divorce for the third time."
"Otherwise..." Pei Jinting's voice turned from lazy to hoarse. "I will punish you very severely."
Gu Qingyuan lay on his shoulder, "I wonder how Mr. Pei will punish the little girl?"
Her voice was soft and full of twists.
Pei Jinting stopped talking.
In the long palace corridor, the young girl was lying on the young man's shoulder, and the lights on both sides fell on the two of them, making them look a bit dazzling.
"You will know what my punishment will be then."
Pei Jinting turned his face sideways and spoke of his punishment in a sinister tone.
Gu Qingyuan was stunned for a while, thinking about how he grabbed her ankle that night and refused to let go.
Her face turned red and red, and she clenched her fist and hit his shoulder a few times. It did not hurt Pei Jinting, but instead made her fall into a more violent fantasy.
"Mr. Pei, wait a minute..." Unexpectedly, at the next moment, a voice intervened with something Gu Qingyuan didn't like.
Pei Jinting turned around and saw the person who stopped them.
It turned out to be Prime Minister Ming and his entourage.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky again, and Pei Jinting put the cloak that had been casually placed on her arm on Gu Qingyuan.
"Mr. Pei, congratulations, Madam Gu..." Prime Minister Ming glanced at Gu Qingyuan hesitantly, and finally said her name.
Prime Minister Ming saw Gu Qingyuan's face clearly, and there was excitement in his eyes.
Gu Qingyuan did not expect to meet Prime Minister Ming here.
She smiled before saying anything, her smile was very friendly, "Prime Minister Ming."
"May I ask Madam Gu, what would you do if your biological parents suddenly appeared?"
When Prime Minister Ming appeared, Gu Qingyuan jumped off Pei Jinting's back.
When I heard Prime Minister Ming's question, I immediately knew what he meant.
If you can't get any benefits from others, why don't you just come to your door?
Gu Qingyuan smiled and looked at Prime Minister Ming with her clear eyes.
"My home is in the Zhenguo Palace, and in the future I will be in the Pei family. I have grown up, and I don't need to go back to my mother's arms to nurse, nor do I need my father to teach me strict family rules."
"Therefore, please forgive me for not being able to answer your question."
She blocked all the paths for Prime Minister Ming.
In the palace corridor, thin snowflakes fell, and the whole atmosphere became a bit tense.
After a long time, Prime Minister Ming took two steps, got closer to Gu Qingyuan, and looked at the dark night sky in the distance with his hands behind his hands.
"But what if they want to welcome you home and make up for everything?"
Gu Qingyuan let out a laugh and laughed.
She tilted her head and looked at Pei Jinting, pointed at him and said, "The Prime Minister is really good at telling jokes. How can he make up for everything? What can he make up for?"
"Besides, I have a home. I don't need another home to welcome me."
"Isn't the Prime Minister at the banquet just now? There will be a new home waiting for us soon."
It can be said that he rejected Prime Minister Ming's question very directly.
Prime Minister Ming's face changed slightly, and he said quietly, "Young girl is so smart, how can she not understand it?"
Pei Jinting looked over impatiently and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Gu Qingyuan.
She looked at Prime Minister Ming with a smile.
"It's precisely because I think clearly that I don't care about things that don't belong to me."
"Every gain must come with a loss. Maybe you gain some sesame seeds, but lose a life. Who knows?"
She seemed not to understand, looking at Prime Minister Ming,
"What do you want to say, Prime Minister? How about a famous quote?"
