Chapter 114

The time soon came to the day of the state banquet. On this day, Gu Yu went home early to start preparations.

After all, a state banquet is not an ordinary banquet, and it cannot be handled casually.

Especially this time I have to introduce Lu Man, so I can't be sloppy at all.

In order to prepare for this banquet, Lu Man had no choice but to get up early again.

The robes for the banquet were custom-made by someone, and they looked very heavy, and it made Lu feel tired enough to wear them.

The young man sat on the chair tiredly, pulling He You's sleeve to act coquettishly, his voice was distressed and aggrieved.

"Why are you wearing these?"

He couldn't help it, she touched Lu Man's little face distressedly, and could only coax him.

"Just wear it this time, bear with it, okay?"

Lu Man nodded obediently.

Well, let’s say bear with it again.

After all, it was at the feet of the emperor, and Gu Yu gave a few words of reassurance before leaving.

He didn't intend to show any limelight at the banquet, so Lu Man didn't need to care about etiquette issues. The royal family had already given their generation the grace of not needing to salute.

Just to avoid any unexpected situation, you still have to be careful.

Of course, these instructions were not hidden from Lu, after all, he only listened to what He You said, so Gu Yu simply told He You directly.

The general meaning is to make He You optimistic about Lu Man, and it is best to stay close at every step.

……

The carriage gradually drove into the palace wall, with blue bricks and red tiles, glazed lamps, and a scene of prosperity.

He You had told Lu Man a long time ago that he could not hold hands or walk together in such a place. Lu Man had to walk in front of He You.

She promised again and again that she would follow behind him every step of the way, and then Lu Man agreed, but when he left, he couldn't help but look back to make sure she was still there.

The banquet has not yet started, and the family members of the ministers are all sitting in the imperial garden.

Lu Man also sat down under Mrs. Gu's arrangement, and He You stood beside him.

And Mrs. Gu couldn't get out for a while because she met an acquaintance.

Taking advantage of his free time, He slowly peeled the skins of the grapes. On the surface, he wanted to give them to Lu Man to eat, but in fact most of them went into his stomach when others were not paying attention.

Lu Man sat obediently, waiting for He You to be fed in twos and threes.

Suddenly there was a girl's cry and a domineering voice in front of her.

"Compensation? Can you afford to pay for this princess's things?"

Zhao Jie glanced at the girl in front of her with disdain, her tone mocking.

"If it weren't for the state banquet today, how could you, a little concubine, have the opportunity to enter the palace? If you don't cherish it, let it be, and cause trouble everywhere."

The concubine was left speechless by Zhao Jie's words, and she didn't dare to talk back to the most favored little princess in the palace, so she had to endure silently, hoping that this matter would pass quickly.

Zhao Jie is used to being arrogant, and she has never restrained herself. It's just that the other party's non-resistance made her less fun, and it was inevitable that she lacked interest.

She still wanted to say something, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Lu Man sitting not far away.

The young man was extremely good-looking, with fair eyebrows and graceful eyes, and a dignified temperament, which immediately attracted her attention.

As soon as her eyes lit up, she walked towards Lu Man.

She had never seen such a good-looking boy.Zhao Jie stood in front of Lu Man, raised her chin slightly, and could see her arrogance at a glance.

"Which family are you from?"

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be the first time she saw a boy with such an outstanding appearance and temperament.

Lu Man lowered his eyes and did not reply to Zhao Jie's words.

Zhao Jie has been arrogant and domineering for so many years, and no one has ever dared to refute her face.

She frowned, her face turned ugly.

"I asked you something!"
