Chapter 337 A powerful official dressed as a man 1
The two of them soon arrived at the palace. At this time, many officials had already arrived with their families. The hall was bustling with activity.
After Yuyan entered the hall, she quickly found her seat and sat down, taking the opportunity to distance herself from Gu Heng.
Seeing that she had already sat down, Gu Heng went to his seat as well.
This banquet was originally held for socializing and building relationships. Everyone was very impressed by Yuyan, the newly appointed censor who was young and talented.
Therefore, they all raised their glasses to toast to her beautiful face, praising and complimenting her continuously.
"Master Yu is really young and promising!"
"Who says it's not true? He was ranked second in the imperial examination at the age of only sixteen, and he has made remarkable achievements in just half a year. Now he is a third-rank official. Sir Yu has a bright future!"
"Master Yu is so outstanding, how enviable! If my son could have half of Master Yu's ability, I would wake up laughing in my sleep."
Faced with everyone's talkative mouths, Yuyan had no choice but to drink up all the cups one by one.
After drinking five or six cups, Yuyan was about to continue drinking, but the glass in her hand was stopped by Nangong Chen who had just arrived.
Nangong Chen glanced at everyone, frowned slightly and spoke to the adults who were still holding up their glasses.
"Lord Yu is not a good drinker. I am afraid that I will be disrespectful in front of the palace later. I will not drink any more. I hope you will forgive me."
"Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right. It is our humble servants who have not thought it through. I will take my leave now."
When the ministers heard what the prince said, they hurried down the slope and dispersed with their wine glasses.
Nangong Chen then sat down next to Yuyan, watching her munching on snacks and drinking wine, and reminded her with a worried look on his face.
"You can only hold that much alcohol, why don't you take it easy? Have you forgotten the ridiculous incident you caused when you were drunk last time?"
"........."
Yuyan's body stiffened, the dessert was still in her throat, and she could hardly drink the wine in her hand that she was about to drink.
She subconsciously looked towards Gu Heng, and saw Gu Heng raising his glass to her from a distance with a smile in his eyes.
Although she had blacked out at that time, she still felt that the memory of the death suddenly attacked her.
Nangong Chen saw her dazed look as she couldn't even swallow the snacks and thought she was adorable, so he couldn't help but comfort her.
"Forget it, just drink it! I'll be watching you from the side and won't let you make a fool of yourself again."
After saying that, he helped her to pour the wine glass that had been placed next to her mouth into her mouth.
After that, he patted her head, stood up and left to go to his seat.
Gu Heng, who was far away, watched their intimate behavior, stroking the wine glass in his hand with deep eyes.
Soon, the emperor and the queen arrived, and the banquet officially began.
To celebrate the opening of national customs, singing and dancing programs were arranged during the banquet, and even the families of officials performed on stage.
At this time, Xia Yujiao, the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, was performing the Green Waist Dance. Her dancing was light and graceful, winning the applause of the whole room.
After the dance, Xia Yujiao smiled triumphantly and challenged another woman in the audience.
"I heard that the daughter of the Grand Marshal is very talented. I wonder if we can let Yujiao and everyone see her."
As Xia Yujiao finished her words, the system beeped at an inopportune moment.
"Host, abnormal air flow has been detected. A tasker has been detected entering the world."
Yuyan, who was enjoying the show, glanced around. When she saw the tasker, she felt sick and sighed, stroking her forehead with her hand.
"What an injustice!"
When the system saw Yuyan's appearance, it had a very bad feeling in its heart.
"...What? It can't be another..."
Sure enough, before it even asked the question, the host had already given it a definite answer.
"Yes, that's right. It's that psychopath again. How unlucky am I to run into her again? Has she linked her location to mine? Why does she go wherever I go?"
"How do I know?"
“…It’s really unlucky.”
Being alone in charge was extremely helpless, but now the mission was not completed yet, so he could only take it one step at a time.
Yun Nishang, who had just entered the world, did not show any sign of being nervous when faced with Xia Yujiao's provocation. Instead, she responded loudly.
"Why don't you dare."
Then she quickly went on stage, borrowed a sword from a guard beside her, and then performed a sword dance with great ease. Her dancing was so heroic and graceful that it drew cheers from the audience.
Xia Yujiao was extremely angry when she saw this, and glared at Yun Nishang hatefully, as if she had done something unforgivable.
Yun Nishang ignored her and after bowing and thanking everyone, she looked towards Yu Yan and changed the subject, throwing out the words again.
"I heard that Master Yu is very talented and eloquent. I wonder if you could open my eyes to him."
Yu Yan maintained a decent smile on her face, but she had already started cursing in her heart.
"...You bastard, that's enough. How did she target me as soon as she got here?"
"Didn't you say she was a psychopath? Maybe that's how those people think! Besides, when you see your enemy, you'll also be jealous and want to kill her in a hurry! Stop calling her a tortoise and playing double standards."
"...I see you've been living a bit too well lately, so you want me to help you lose some fat."
Yu Yan, who was already being targeted, became even angrier when she heard such heartbreaking words from the system.
"...Please don't, host. Look, everyone is waiting for you."
"I..." Yu Yan was just about to get up and go to the stage to deal with it casually, when she suddenly heard Gu Heng speak slowly.
"Since everyone is in such a good mood, why don't I play a song to liven up the atmosphere for you all?"
After saying that, he stood up gracefully and walked towards the stage with an upright posture.
The whole place was silent at this moment. Looking at Gu Heng's different painting style, they almost suspected that they were dreaming.
Gu Heng is a proud and conceited person with a cold and taciturn personality, which always gives people the feeling that he is difficult to approach.
But I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to play the piano to entertain everyone today. It was simply unbelievable.
You know, Gu Heng's piano playing is world-famous.
Now that they had the opportunity to listen to his piano music, everyone felt that it was a great honor. Everyone sat upright and listened attentively.
As expected, as soon as Gu Heng started playing, those who knew the piano and those who didn't fell silent. Everyone was immersed in the wonderful sound of the piano, looking intoxicated and intoxicated.
As they listened, everyone could sense that something was wrong.
The sound of the piano is like resentment, longing, crying and complaining, delicate and gentle, reaching straight to the heart, giving people a very lingering and sad feeling.
Hearing that the music was from "Feng Qiu Huang", everyone felt somewhat surprised and doubtful.
Why did Gu Heng play this piece? Was it accidental or intentional?
Nangong Rao, who was sitting below the emperor, also recognized that this was the famous proposal song "Feng Qiu Huang". Her face instantly lit up with joy, and the excitement in her heart was beyond words.
He even ignored the presence of everyone else and stood up with a happy look on his face and stood not far from Gu Heng, looking at Gu Heng with an obsessed gaze under the breeze and bright moon.
