Third Master Lu looked at Lu Jun for a long while. When it was their turn to enter the carriage, he instructed Lu Jun, â âHow about this, Iâll ask your second brotherâs opinion during the new year. Weâll talk about this after the new year.â
Lu Jun heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he didnât refuse.
Each familyâs carriage stopped in order, and the people in the carriage got off and followed the palace maids to Baohe Palace.
The palace of Baohe was the place where the Emperor of the great Zhou hosted banquets for his subjects. It would be held in the palace of Baohe on every Festival or the birthday of the Empress.
The Baohe Palace Hall was very large, and only the family members of officials above the second rank were invited, so it was not enough to sit.
After all the officials had arrived, the Emperor and Empress Xue supported the Grand Empress Dowager over. The little crown Prince was already two years old, so he followed by the Empress âside, holding onto the corner of her clothes as they walked.
âThe Emperor Wanwan, Grand Empress Dowager Wanwan, Empress Dowager Wanwan, His Highness the Crown Prince Wanwanâ n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Everyone knelt down and paid their respects.
âRise!â
After helping the Grand Empress Dowager to sit down, the Emperor returned to his seat. After seeing Empress Xue and the little crown Prince sit down, he called for everyone to get up.
Usually, the Emperor would be very serious at such a time. With the princes and princesses of the Western Region around, he had to maintain His Majesty at all times.
After everyone had taken their seats, the eunuch ordered the dishes to be served.
The Emperor raised his wine cup and said a few auspicious words. After everyone raised their cups and drank, they began to eat.
Not only were there delicacies, but there were also songs and dances.
The music was melodious, and the dance was graceful. Many people were watching while eating, especially he lianyi, who couldnât take his eyes off the beautiful girls. He was enjoying the wine while admiring the beautiful women.
Gu Xin was already immune to pretty girls, so she started to eat.
Gu Xin and Gu si ate with great relish. Gu Ren and Gu yingxue sat together, enjoying the dance as they ate.
âDopey Gu, call me big sister!â Gu yingxue was so angry that she smacked him and said, â I canât make any decisions for you now. You have to ask second uncle about this. However, I donât think second uncle will agree to it. â
âWhy?â Gu yingxue wasnât angry and didnât feel ashamed to ask.
Gu Nian and dopey Gu were smarter than her while she was dumber.
âWhy? Because I have an older brother above me and a group of younger brothers below me. I donât need to occupy an important position in the Imperial court. The Emperor and the ministers could only be at ease with their benefactors. I canât be too outstanding. If Iâm too outstanding, others will worry. His younger brothers had not grown up yet, so it was not too late to train his younger brothers after his son entered officialdom. So, I canât be too outstanding, or Iâll cause trouble for the family.â Gu Ren analyzed the situation for Gu yingxue.
âThatâs impossible, right? Youâve been tortured by second uncle to study all day, and youâre telling me that he doesnât want you to take the Imperial examinations? I donât believe it. â Gu yingxue shook her head.
âWhy is it impossible?â Gu Ren rolled his eyes and laughed. you donât believe me? Why donât we make a bet? In the first month of the lunar year, I asked second uncle if he would be willing to send me to the Royal Academy when I reached the age. He would definitely be willing.â
