Chapter 450 Who are you looking at? You are all fascinated
The purpose of this Spring Banquet has always been to select a concubine for the Crown Prince, and to serve as a matchmaker for unmarried men and women in the capital, so men and women are not completely separated.
Everyone can gather in groups of three or five to say a few words or write a few poems. The bolder ones can even pick flowers from the garden and give them to the girl they like.
However, these are mostly little tricks played between unmarried men and women, and most married people just come for fun.
Even if Xiao Qingyuan likes Liu Nanshi, there is no way he can get her. With Liu Nanshi's identity, she won't be allowed to be his concubine!
Yuan Zheng sneered in his heart, but his face showed a friendly look. He waved his hand at Xiao Qingyuan and said, "Qingyuan, what are you talking about? Why would I touch Miss Liu? I didn't mean to punish Gu Qianhan. I just thought that you didn't like him, so I was going to teach him a lesson for you."
"However, since you are so generous and let Gu Qianhan go, I will naturally not worry about it! Let's all be harmonious, be harmonious, haha!"
"I'm going to go drink with Gu Qianhan. He's so pitiful, sitting there alone, and no one talks to him! I'm kind-hearted, so I'll keep him company."
After he finished speaking, regardless of how ugly Xiao Qingyuan's expression was, he held the wine glass and went towards Gu Qianhan, leaving Xiao Qingyuan there alone.
"Qianhan."
Yuan Zheng acted in a friendly manner: "Why didn't you come to see me and Qing Yuan when you came? We are best brothers, why are we so distant now?"
Gu Qianhan glanced at him indifferently, drank his tea and ignored him.
Yuan Zheng seemed to have long been accustomed to his indifference. He sat down beside him nonchalantly, poured himself a cup of tea, and then picked up the teapot to pour tea for Gu Qianhan.
Gu Qianhan stretched out his hand to cover the teacup: "Why didn't I see you take the initiative to pour tea for me before? Did the sun rise from the west today?"
Yuan Zheng smiled harmlessly: "It's because I haven't poured it before that I have to pour it now. You are covering the teacup and not letting me pour it. Aren't you being too disrespectful to me?"
"To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief!"
"Hey, don't always think so badly of people. I'm just being polite. If you don't want to drink, then I won't pour it. Really, your kindness is taken for granted. I don't know when you will change your bad temper."
"Yuan Zheng, I'm not a fool like Xiao Qingyuan. What on earth do you want to do by getting close to me? If you have something to say, say it. If not, get lost."
"Look at you, you are so suspicious. You guard against me like a thief. We have known each other for so many years, how could I harm you? I just want to care about you and ask when you are going to get married!"
Gu Qianhan knew that he had no good intentions, so he said coldly, "Get lost!"
"Qianhan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're not a child anymore, it's time for you to get married! Look, Qingyuan and I have both married and settled down, and now you're the only one left. As your brother, I'm worried about you!"
Yuan Zheng didn't take Gu Qianhan's expression seriously at all. He even leaned in close and whispered, "Are you suffering from some hidden illness? When we went to Wanhua Tower before, you didn't have any reaction to those beauties. Is that reasonable? If you are sick, you should treat it. You can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor!"
"You are the one who is sick! Do you think I am like you, with a brain as big as a fingernail?"
"Oh, if you're not sick, then get married quickly! There are so many girls at the Spring Festival Banquet today, there won't be any that you don't like, right?"
Gu Qianhan looked at Yuan Zheng with cold eyes: "So you want to pair me up with someone today? Who did you choose?"
Yuan Zheng was shocked. He had laid such a long groundwork and spoke so vaguely, but Gu Qianhan was still able to discover his conspiracy?
If Gu Qianhan finds out that he is trying to harm him, he will be dead!
Yuan Zheng swallowed nervously. He held the teacup and looked at the crowd in a relaxed manner. "How could I choose anyone? I don't know what you like. I just think that any girl is good and more than enough for you."
Gu Qianhan's cold voice sounded: "You picked Liu Nanshi?"
Yuan Zheng was so shocked that he almost dropped his teacup: "Ah? I didn't! How did you know this?"
"It looks like it's Liu Nanshi."
Gu Qianhan sneered: "Did she offend you? You are so eager to give her to me so that she can suffer? Since you care about her so much, why not, I will fulfill your wish and let you have another wife in your family!"
Yuan Zheng's forehead was covered with sweat. Damn Gu Qianhan, didn't he just glance at Liu Nanshi a few more times? And he was discovered? He was so sharp that it was outrageous!
He laughed dryly and said, "Qianhan, please stop joking. I can't even handle one wife at home. If there is another one, wouldn't that be the end of me? Besides, I already have one wife, which is enough. I am devoted to my wife now. Please don't talk nonsense!"
"Whether I will say something wrong or not depends on whether you will mess with me. If you don't have any bad intentions, I will naturally not deal with you."
"I won't, I absolutely won't! I am the most upright person, I don't have any evil intentions! Hey, Qianhan, look, is that your sister coming? And the prince, and the queen! Come on, we should get up and greet them!"
Gu Qianhan looked up and saw that the Queen and the Crown Prince were indeed walking towards this side with their men.
Gu Qianning was some distance away from them. It was obvious that she came from somewhere else and just happened to meet the prince.
However, Gu Qianhan didn't look at these people. His eyes fell on Shen Wantang beside Gu Qianning.
She was dressed conservatively today, probably because she didn't want to steal the limelight from others, so even her hairpin was an ordinary sapphire and gold hairpin.
But Gu Qianhan felt that she was the most dazzling one in the entire imperial garden. The sapphire matched with her azure moonlit dress, making her look cool and elegant.
She probably saw him, but her eyes passed over him and fell on Xiao Qingyuan who was not far from him.
Gu Qianhan frowned slightly. She paid so much attention to Xiao Qingyuan? Could it be that she had fallen in love with him?
He felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything. They were husband and wife, and he was not in the right position.
The Queen had already begun to say some polite words as usual and announced the official start of the Spring Banquet, but Gu Qianhan didn't hear a word. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Qingyuan.
Then he discovered that Xiao Qingyuan was not looking at Shen Wantang at all. The person he was looking at was Liu Nanshi.
Gu Qianhan showed a hint of sarcasm at the corners of his lips. He walked straight to Xiao Qingyuan and said, "Who are you looking at, Master Xiao? You are so fascinated by her. Why do you want to bring a girl back to your palace today? You just released a concubine, and now you can't wait to add another one?"
