In the end, Shen Wanqing still plucked the flower herself.
Seeing the smile on the youth's lips, Shen Wanqing clicked her tongue dangerously and stuffed the little flower into Gu Jinyan's hand.
"Protect it well. I want to bring it back and raise it."
Gu Jinyan glanced at the little purple flower that was about to wilt in his hand, then looked up calmly and said in a gentle voice, "Okay."
The two of them acted intimately as if there was no one else around, making the bystanders envious.
The Emperor stroked his beard and looked at Shen Wanqing with eyes full of admiration.
This Prime Minister's wife was really capable to be able to tame the Prime Minister to this extent!
The Emperor was about to announce the start of the banquet when Baili Chen suddenly stood up.
"Prime Minister, who is this woman beside you? Why didn't you introduce her to us?" Baili Chen stared at Shen Wanqing and asked.
Gu Jinyan paused in the act of passing grapes to Shen Wanqing and looked up coldly, "This is a banquet. Why should this subject specially introduce Madam? Moreover, didn't Fu gonggong already introduce Madam's identity when he made the announcement? "
When he spoke, he frowned slightly and his cold eyes contained some mockery and indifference.
Baili Chen froze and seemed to sense the stifling laughter of the surrounding officials.
He was a bit embarrassed and angry, but he suppressed his anger, "Is that so? This consort didn't notice at the time."
"But is this woman really the Prime Minister's wife?" Baili Chen looked towards Shen Wanqing as he spoke.
Shen Wanqing nibbled on the grape that Gu Jinyan was passing to her lips. When she sensed Baili Chen's gaze, she even nonchalantly raised her brows at him.
Baili Chen paused and his eagle-like eyes looked at Shen Wanqing inquisitively.
Hearing this, Gu Jinyan nodded calmly and said in a cold and distant voice, "Yes."
"That's strange. This consort seems to have seen the Prime Minister's wife somewhere before." Hearing Gu Jinyan's reply, Baili Chen pretended to be confused.
"There are countless people who look alike in this world. It's not strange that the Crown Prince has seen her before." Gu Jinyan answered calmly as he peeled the grape and carefully fed it to Shen Wanqing.
With that, Gu Jinyan wiped the corners of Shen Wanqing's mouth with his finger and poured her a cup of tea.
Under Shen Wanqing's dissatisfied gaze, he patted her hand and comforted her.
He gestured to her that Vang Tsai milk could only be drunk at home.
When Baili Chen heard this, he shook his head and explained, "No, no, no. What I meant by 'familiar' is that I remember that the Master of the Martial Stockade Village and the Prime Minister's wife looked exactly the same."
As he spoke, Baili Chen clicked his tongue and guessed in disbelief, "This consort remembers that Prime Minister went to Nanfu Town to exterminate bandits some time ago. Could it be that you fell in love with this bandit because you failed to exterminate him? "
Everyone could tell that Baili Chen was targeting Gu Jinyan, but none of the officials dared to say anything.
At the same time, they were also curious about Baili Chen's words.
Could it be that the Prime Minister's wife was really a bandit?
Gu Jinyan, who originally thought that he would refuse to answer, nodded calmly. He looked up coldly and said calmly, "So what if I am?"
Instantly, everyone at the banquet, including the Emperor and Shen Wanfeng, was stunned.
He didn't deny it, but admitted it instead?!
Hearing this, Baili Chen laughed complacently and questioned Gu Jinyan, "Gu Jinyan, you're really something. The imperial court sent you to exterminate the bandits. Not only did you not exterminate them, you even colluded with the bandits to form an alliance!"
He laughed coldly, "It seems that when the Prime Minister said that the bandits were innocent, it was also a lie to protect them!"
"Has the Crown Prince concluded his investigation of the corruption of the Nanfu Town officials?" Gu Jinyan suddenly asked.
