While many guests were talking among themselves, Xiao Hongchen had already walked up to Gu Jian.
"Gu Jian, you are finally here."
Xiao Hongchen smiled charmingly, and there was even a hint of shyness in his eyes.
She had a slight liking for Gu Jian because he refined the elixir for her and her sister.
In addition, during these days, she heard many stories about Gu Jian from Gu Hongye's mouth.
She became more and more convinced that Gu Jian was a good brother and a responsible man.
Such an outstanding young man is also a genius alchemist and a genius swordsman. What woman wouldn't like him?
Although Xiao Hongchen's vision was high, no matter how high she was, she didn't believe she could meet someone more to her liking than Gu Jian.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the house was shocked.
Most of them are locals from the royal capital, and they know the temperament of the little princess Xiao Hongchen quite well.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Hongchen is the epitome of the little devil in the eyes of outsiders.
But they never expected that Xiao Hongchen actually had such a girlish side?
She was actually shy!
For a moment, many male guests looked at Gu Jian with envy.
But there was a look in his eyes that was particularly sinister. It was Li Ping who had an unpleasant encounter with Gu Jian at the gate of Hongchen Palace.
"If I had known that you were the murderer of my brother, I should have killed you on horseback!"
Li Ping said bitterly in his heart.
At the same time, he had already decided in his heart that he would wash away the shame of the Li family in public!
"Happy birthday, Your Highness Princess."
While Li Ping was gritting his teeth, Gu Jian had already smiled slightly and gave Xiao Hongchen a beautifully wrapped gift box.
"This is something I made myself. I think you will like it."
"Thanks."
Xiao Hongchen smiled knowingly.
Seeing Gu Jian pretending to be mysterious, she wanted to open the gift box now, but the guests were looking at her, which made her very embarrassed, so she had to put the gift box into the ring.
"Gu Jian, come with me."
Xiao Hongchen smiled shyly, pulled up Gu Jian's sleeves, and led him to the guest pavilion.
"Brother, you are finally here!"
At this moment, Gu Hongye, who was dressed in red like Xiao Hongchen, jumped out to greet him.
"Red leaves."
As soon as Gu Jian saw Gu Hongye, a doting light appeared in his eyes and he rubbed her head.
There were a lot of people here and it was noisy. Gu Hongye was not very tall, so I might not have seen him right away.
Soon, Gu Jian was brought into the guest pavilion, and Xiao Hongchen introduced him to the two people sitting above.
"Gu Jian, these two are my eldest brother and second brother." Xiao Hongchen pointed at the two of them.
Gu Jian heard the sound and cast his gaze, and saw that the eldest prince among them was wearing a purple gold jade crown and a black and red python robe. He was majestic and heroic. The second prince was wearing a purple costume and waving a pure white feather fan in his hand, giving people a
A feeling of resourcefulness.
"Gu Jian, a common man, I have met your two highnesses!" Gu Jian bowed his hands slightly and saluted.
"So you are Gu Jian. My little sister often mentions you in front of me. When I saw you today, you turned out to be very handsome and elegant." The eldest prince Xiao Heng stood up and returned the greeting with a gentle smile without any pretense.
"No courtesy, since you are my dear guest, please feel free to sit down."
The second prince, Xiao Chen, acted more indifferently and just nodded casually.
After greetings, Gu Jian was placed below the second prince. Although he was of low origin, his alchemy skills that defeated Pang Shun were enough to sit in this position.
After sitting down, Gu Jian found that the two princes were looking at him, but their eyes were different.
The eyes of the eldest prince Xiao Heng were full of curiosity and scrutiny, as if he wanted to see through Gu Jian.
The second prince Xiao Chen's eyes looked darker, as if Gu Jian had a grudge against him.
In fact, that's exactly what happened.
The eldest prince and the second prince came to attend Xiao Hongchen's birthday because they wanted to establish a good relationship with her and ask her to speak kindly to their father.
After all, although Xiao Hongchen is a princess, she possesses a special spiritual body and has extraordinary talents. She is the most favored among the many children. Therefore, if the two of them want to compete for the position of crown prince, Xiao Hongchen is extremely important.
The eldest prince Xiao Heng examined Gu Jian to see if Gu Jian was really good or if he could be won over. If he could be won over, such a talented alchemist would definitely be a great help.
On the other hand, the second prince Xiao Chen looked at Gu Jian with a gloomy look because he was unhappy with Gu Jian and even wanted to kill the latter.
Because both Mo Chen Wujun and the Li family are the supporters behind Xiao Chen.
Gu Jian had a grudge against them, and it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Chen to give up Lord Mo Chen and the Li family because of him.
After all, let alone Lord Mo Chen, the Li family is more powerful than Gu Jian.
Xiao Chen has even decided in his heart that if he can't be used by him and still has a grudge against his supporters, then he should die!
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen quietly winked at Li Ping, who was sitting below.
Li Ping originally wanted to kill the sword on the spot, but this was the birthday party for Her Royal Highness the little princess, so he didn't dare to act rashly. But after looking at the second prince Xiao Chen, he knew that he had someone to back him up, so he could take action.
"Mr. Gu, I heard that you are not getting along with the Li family. Is this true or false?"
At this time, Xiao Chen asked.
Hearing this, Gu Jian frowned slightly, wondering why the second prince asked this.
"There is such a thing."
Gu Jian answered truthfully. After all, many people knew about this matter and there was no need to hide it.
However, he vaguely guessed that the second prince might be hiding some bad tricks behind his words.
"Mr. Gu, there are members of the Li family present today. Why don't I act as a peacemaker for you and make the big things as small as possible?" The second prince asked again.
Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen frowned slightly and realized something was wrong.
Her second brother is extremely wealthy and has a close relationship with the Li family and Lord Mo Chen, so he cannot really want to reconcile.
The eldest prince Xiao Heng also pinched his chin lightly, looking like he was ready to watch a good show.
The more the second prince targets Gu Jian, the greater the chance that he will draw Gu Jian under his command.
What's more, he also wanted to see how Gu Jian would deal with the upcoming trouble.
Sure enough, as soon as the second prince finished speaking, Li Ping stood up abruptly.
"Second Prince, thank you for your kindness, but the grudge between my Li family and this country bumpkin cannot be reconciled!"
Li Ping first held up his hands, then pointed at Gu Jian who was sitting in his seat, and cursed through gritted teeth.
"Li Ping!"
Seeing this person, Xiao Hongchen felt bad. She didn't expect that the person sent by the Li family to attend her birthday was actually him.
This is not a kind person!
On the other side, when he saw that the person who tried to hit him with his horse at the door was from the Li family, Gu Jian also became serious.
"Second Prince, this guy is right, the Li family and I will fight until death!"
"Gu Jian, you personally killed my brother and killed more than thirty servants of my Li family. Today I will make you pay for it with blood!"
Li Ping took a step forward, and his strong spiritual power turned into a mighty pressure, sweeping towards Gu Jian!
