After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 257: Rewarding Your Majesty with Some Beauties

These ministers came to pay their compliments, but it seemed that many of them were just greeting Jiang Xiyu.

Xu Rui stood aside and watched Jiang Xiyu interact with officials naturally, exuding confidence. This was the first time he had seen this.

He knew that Jiang Xiyu had been making medicinal food before, but he didn't expect that this medicinal food would be so popular in Kyoto City now?

It seems that most of the royal relatives and civil and military officials present have eaten their medicinal food?

So many noble people have tasted her medicinal food, so their restaurant's business must be very good.

Xu Rui had no idea that the circle of dignitaries nowadays were all proud to be able to drink the medicinal food made by Jiang Xiyu herself.

However, there are only twenty servings of the recovery soup and lotus porridge that Jiang Xiyu makes every day, and they cannot be reserved in advance, so you have to fight for them to order them every day.

Just when Xu Rui was confused that his celebration banquet had suddenly turned into a banquet praising medicinal food, many royal relatives came in.

Seeing them enter the hall, everyone immediately saluted.

Everyone was praising her.

Suddenly, the voice of a palace attendant rang out from outside the door, "The King of Qin has arrived."

When Xu Rui looked up, he saw Gulin, wearing a green peacock feather cloak and a green crown of the same color, stepping into the main hall.

As soon as Gulin entered the hall, he attracted the attention of all the women.

Even Xu Rui had to admit that this guy was extremely good-looking, but just like a real peacock, spreading his tail feathers everywhere was very annoying.

As soon as Gulin entered the hall, he glanced at Jiang Xiyu, causing Xu Rui's face to darken. Jiang Xiyu was also frightened and immediately lowered her brows and eyes.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Everyone came to their senses and saluted Gulin. Jiang Xiyu also bowed with lowered brows and eyes.

Xu Rui acted as if he didn't see Gulin and was too lazy to greet him.

Gulin didn't care about Xu Rui's attitude at all, and walked towards Jiang Xiyu.

Xu Rui clenched his fists, and Jiang Xiyu was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

Even Gu Yunling was frightened by him. Without waiting for Gu Lin to walk towards Jiang Xiyu, she immediately pulled Jiang Xiyu to sit in the front seat, as if she had something to tell her in secret.

"That guy is sick, don't bother with him." Not to mention Jiang Xiyu, Gu Yunling was also scared to death by Gulin just now.

Especially since he has always been unruly. You can use propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame to restrain other people, but propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are completely useless to this person.

She was really afraid that he would walk up to this girl and say something outrageous. By then, nothing would happen between him and Xu Rui, but this girl would be killed by them.

Jiang Xiyu's face flushed red, and she looked frightened.

Although she didn't think he would harm her like this in public, she didn't know him well enough, so it was better for her to stay away from him. Especially now that Xu Rui knew what that person was thinking, she should avoid suspicion even more.

Seeing Jiang Xiyu being pulled away by Gu Yunling, Gulin felt a little disappointed for a moment, and had no choice but to walk towards Xu Rui, "I haven't congratulated the Marquis for his great achievement yet."

Xu Rui glared at him and whispered through gritted teeth, "Your Highness doesn't know how to avoid suspicion at all."

This damn guy, what was he trying to do just now?

He wanted to embarrass him in front of so many royal relatives and civil and military officials in the court.

Gulin didn't think he had done anything wrong at all, and acted frankly, "I just received the kindness of the madam's medicinal food, and wanted to thank her. I have no guilt in my heart, so why should I avoid suspicion?"

Gulin's expression, as if to say "you are a mean person judging others by your own standards", once again irritated Xu Rui to death. "You'd better always have a clear conscience."

Xu Rui said this and walked towards Jiang Xiyu.

Gulin was a little envious of Xu Rui for being able to sit next to her so openly.

She said she wanted to divorce him, I wonder how that went?

Gulin went straight to his seat and sat down.

The main reason is that apart from Jiang Xiyu, he is not interested in anyone or anything, so he is too lazy to deal with other people.

If he hadn't known that she would come to the celebration party today, he would never have come to celebrate with Xu Rui for no reason.

As luck would have it, Gulin's seat was right opposite Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu's.

When the two raised their eyes, another burst of fire splashed.

Those who were not in the know knew nothing, but Gu Yunling, who knew the truth, was shocked and had a headache.

Suddenly, outside, the palace servants announced the arrival of Gu Wei, and everyone knelt down to greet her.

As soon as Gu Wei sat down, his eyes fell on Xu Rui. "Marquis Yonglin has wiped out the bandits that have plagued the northern border for years. This is a major event for the court. I want to reward you handsomely. What reward does Marquis Yonglin want?"

Xu Rui quickly stood up and bowed to Gulin, saying, "It is my honor to be able to share your majesty's worries. This is my reward."

Gu Wei's eyes were filled with joy as he smiled and said, "I am very happy that you are so considerate of the court, but I have already decided on the rewards. The Yonglin Marquisate has few descendants, so this time I will give you a few beauties to help expand the Yonglin Marquisate."

Xu Rui glanced at Jiang Xiyu tenderly, then looked up at the ancient curtain on the throne. "Your Majesty, I promised my wife that I would be with her forever. I hope Your Majesty can take back your promise."

Jiang Xiyu was stunned for a few seconds, as if Xu Rui had never said this. She immediately understood that he was using her as a shield.

Gu Wei's smile disappeared, and he looked at Jiang Xiyu. "Since ancient times, the mansion has been proud of expanding its branches and leaves. Now that the Yonglin Marquis is in his twenties, he doesn't have any offspring. I wonder what the Yonglin Marquis's wife thinks."

Jiang Xiyu lowered her head in fear. "It's my fault. I hope Your Majesty can give my husband a few more beauties so that they can give him children."

Gu Wei was very satisfied with Jiang Xiyu's understanding.

Xu Rui looked at Jiang Xiyu angrily, but Jiang Xiyu just smiled at him sarcastically.

He slapped her and wanted to use her as a shield. No way.

"Since the wife of Marquis Yonglin has said so, I have decided to reward Marquis Yonglin with a few more beauties." Gu Wei gave the order directly.

Xu Rui didn't dare to say much and could only pretend to be very happy to accept it.

After sitting down, Xu Rui no longer had the heart to eat. He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Jiang Xiyu's porcelain bowl. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Why did you agree to this?"

Jiang Xiyu has always been known for her light tastes. Seeing that the man who had been married to her for so many years and didn't even know her tastes now had the nerve to question her, she felt extremely disgusted, but she kept a calm expression on her face, "I do all this for you."

"How do you say this?"

"His Majesty is determined that you accept those beauties. If you refuse, what will His Majesty think? Not only will it offend His Majesty, but he will also suspect that you are too successful to obey the Lord."

Xu Rui's anger dissipated a lot.

He really hadn't thought about this. He refused only because he didn't want outsiders around him, which would make it difficult for him to act. Besides, it was sent by Gu Wei, and it seemed like a gift to him. However, those women were not as simple as they seemed. He was afraid that they were sent to monitor him, so he refused without hesitation.
