The King Jin Residence was not close to the Marquis Anfeng Residence, as the King Jin was a happy person, he would never be too close to the root of the Imperial City, and the people living in the power center were all strongholds of politicians, so he felt that he should not give in to them, and that it would affect his mood, so he left behind the huge mansion that the His Majesty had bestowed upon him, singing the empty song of the city, and moved to some of the more remote residential areas.

When Gu Yun came, it was unknown what kind of feast was being held in the King Jin Palace, but both the inside and the outside were brightly lit. Actually, the King Jin Palace had been like this for twenty days every month, and it was unknown where these roguish friends of the King Jin came from.

"Oh, isn't this the young master of the Gu family? I haven't seen you for a while, but I heard that you've married a pretty girl, so I'm reluctant to go out."

The moment Gu Yun entered the door, he was pulled by a white-haired man. Gu Yun recognized him to be the leader of the Phoenix Nest Restaurant, and was extremely skilled in singing, only that he did not sell his skills at all. Even in his dreams, many rich and powerful people wanted to grab onto his small hands.

"Brother Feng Li, you have to be careful. If you pull me like this once, I will be able to call a carriage full of your eyes."

Feng Li laughed, and then said with a voice as sharp as a hoop, "Young Master Gu is still so funny and touching, but unfortunately I am not a woman, otherwise I would have to marry you."

"That's great. I probably won't be able to enter the main gate of the King Jin's Palace in my lifetime."

"What are you farting about!" King Jin said as he crooked his tongue, "I am extremely loyal to my princess. Stop slandering this king and believe that I won't sell you out tomorrow and tell you to go home and kneel on the washboard as well."

He couldn't even straighten his tongue, and it was obvious that he had drunk a lot. Gu Yun chuckled, "Then I'll have to borrow a washboard from Princess Wang Fei, and I'll accept it even if I have to kneel together with King Jin."

"Fuck you, you cunning bastard!" King Jin threw over a wine jug, and was dodged by Gu Yun, "Aren't you the one who's making a ruckus after drinking so much? I've been waiting for an entire afternoon for you, and they still haven't seen you leave yet, and they all came over to feed me. I said that Gu Xuanchen that bastard is now a wife fanatic, and had already thrown you all the way to some corner a long time ago, so there's no need to be envious.

That was something that no one dared to do, a big group of people saw that King Jin was drunk and knew how powerful he was, if this continued, they might not even be able to get in the door, and would leave after bidding farewell to Gu Yun.

"You said that you weren't taking it easy either. You purposely drank so much back, right?" Gu Yun went over to support King Jin, and said in a small voice, looking like a thief.

"Can't you just pretend that you don't know when you're going to die?"

The King Jin only drank wine at this time, he could not be talked down to, but he would definitely not give him any face either. He had already closed the door a long time ago, as if not to enter the room for the entire night.

"Is the princess resting?"

Walking to the backyard, King Jin did not need anyone to support his anymore, it did not look like he was drunk at all. The little girl in front of Prince Jin's Wife replied: "Not yet, I have already arranged a bed for you in the study.

"Look at how virtuous and virtuous wangfei is. She even knows how to make up a bed for me. About that, tell wangfei not to sleep so early, it won't do her any good at all, ah."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Gu Yun covered his mouth and laughed, then pulled a King Jin who was reluctant to part to the study room.

"So what if it was me? Just you watch. In a few years, you will be the same as me. Both of them are lives."

King Jin sat down on a chair, and rubbed his forehead tiredly, "Sheng Luan is coming back."

King Jin stopped joking around and started talking about important matters. Gu Yun's expression turned serious, "I'm guessing it's this matter as well. Why, what's the situation?"

"The crown prince wants to do something to him. The Ministry of Justice have already listed his crimes, and once he returns to the capital, there will be people impeaching him."

knew that the situation was not good, but he never thought that it would be so urgent. The crown prince himself did not only use such fair and square methods, if they were to make a move halfway, Sheng Luan would not even be able to think of entering the capital alive.

"I know."

The King Jin knew of his methods and had always been at ease with him, "You should also be careful, your actions are different from the past, don't ignore everything that you do."

I apologise to Gu Yun's wife for saying these words, but King Jin was unable to say them.

By the time Gu Yun returned from King Jin's place, it was already close to midnight, so Xie Jingxi had already gone to bed. Xie Jingxi had been tired the whole day, so she was able to sleep more easily than usual. Gu Yun kissed her lightly, and didn't have the heart to wake her up.

"You're back. Have you eaten?"

Xie Jingxi's sleep was light, but she was still woken up by him. Gu Yun simply hugged him tighter, "I only want to eat you now, I don't really want to eat anything else."

"Nope."

"Good girl, hurry up and sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow, you won't be able to sleep again." Gu Yun caressed her hair like a toddler, afraid that she would think about it again and not be able to sleep, no matter how difficult it was outside, his Xi was the most important.

With such great difficulty, Gu Yun managed to coax Xie Jingxi to sleep, and he himself no longer had any sleep, until he had to take a nap in the middle of the night.

When Xie Jingxi, who was rarely sleeping, heard his departure, her eyelids immediately twitched, and she shouted towards Ming Yu: "What time did it? When did Eldest Young Master leave?"

"There's no hurry. It's just about time. Young Master has just left, are you going to pay respects in the front yard?"

Her Marquis Mansion did not require daily greetings, and so she could not leave her place during her first fifteen years. Xie Jingxi hurriedly put on her clothes, and without bothering to eat breakfast, she went to Lady Zeng's house.

Coincidentally, Gu Heng was also present, so when he heard the voice, he came over with Eldest Miss in his arms. When Xie Jingxi went in, she saw that Lady Zeng was hugging onto Eldest Miss happily, but after Big Brother disappeared, Eldest Miss became the sole son of the family, receiving treatment that he did not have in the beginning, even Lady Zeng looked at her as if she was a treasure.

Xie Jingxi remembered that Eldest Miss was almost a year old, time passed really quickly.

"In the end, she's the Sect Leader's young mistress. She has a big front. It's been a while since she arrived, and even our Eldest Miss has been up for a long time."

Xie Jingqi coldly spoke, making Xie Jingxi feel embarrassed, the Lady Zeng hugged Big Sis and looked at her, "You will be late, if Big Sis wants to take up the position, she has to wait on someone before she can come."

"I've kept mother waiting." Xie Jingxi did not continue to speak with Xie Jingqi, she also sat in front of Lady Zeng and teased his elder sister, "You look so fast, I think you're about to be a year old."

"Exactly, yesterday Marquis told me that he wanted to give Eldest Miss a Zhou Duel. He invited some people to come and join in the commotion, is our Eldest Miss going to grow up soon, hmm?" Lady Zeng played with the Eldest Miss, her small hands grabbing onto the jade bracelet on Lady Zeng's wrist, babbling.

"Our Eldest Miss is really smart. Previously, when I hugged her, she never let go of the jade bracelet on my hand. It seems like in the future, she will be a rich person and can easily pick good things to grab on to."

No matter how ignorant Xie Jingqi was, she still had the common ailment of a normal mother, and could feel that her own child was good, but Gu Heng said: "How can you tell from being young, don't be too pampered, I think we should take care of the Zhou banquet a little bit more, and invite our close relatives and friends to have a meal with us."

There were also some rumors that a child could not be too rich, they might not be able to suppress them. Originally, with a big brother gone, everyone would be on tenterhooks, but Xie Jingqi did not like hearing these words.

"What are you talking about? We're not those families that can't afford it, aren't we? If there's anything good, we'll just keep the kids busy. Besides, which sisters don't need to be pampered? How can we save money on something as big as the feast? Mother, what do you say?"

What Heng`er said is not unreasonable, but there is no need to reduce it too much. As for how to deal with it, I will have to ask Eldest Brother's wife. I have nothing to worry about, so I don't have to worry about that.

"Since father said he would do it, then we will do it. As for the specific requirements, it will depend on Second Miss's intentions, and as long as you speak of it, I will do my best to do it, I can't let Eldest Miss down."

Xie Jingxi brought out Marquis as a shield, so no one could say anything. It was rare that Xie Jingqi was satisfied with her words, but she did not say any sarcastic words, "Then I will have to trouble Third Sister, if you're working hard, I will remember you in my heart."

Gu Heng followed up from behind: "Sister-in-law's family has not been in charge for long, and the banquet is very complicated, I'm afraid there's something different about it, please do not hesitate to send someone to look for me, if there's anything you need, we have beef and lamb meat, and I will send someone to deliver them to you in advance, it must not be short, the cooks have things that are already prepared, if there's anything you need a master to cook for you, you have to make it in advance."

Gu Heng's words were detailed, as though she was afraid that she was not familiar with them, but the words were unavoidably filled with a little bit of concern and confusion. Xie Jingqi could not hear anything clearly, but Lady Zeng only frowned, as if she had sensed that something was amiss.

Xie Jingxi hurriedly continued, "My uncle only said that he wanted to reduce the price, it seems like he wasn't speaking from the bottom of his heart. I can see that it was my sister who wanted to give me the best, afraid that someone like me who was born in this world wouldn't be able to do it well and make us Eldest Miss feel wronged, so based on my uncle's feelings for Eldest Miss, I have to properly handle this matter."

thought to himself, he was really almost tricked to death by Gu Heng.
