Chapter 1029 1031 Envy Jealousy
It seemed that after serious thought, Gu Liangzhe opened his mouth slowly, looked at Su Li and said, "Jin State and Chu State have been at war for many years, and the people have been wasting money and money, making their lives difficult. The emperor originally intended to cease the war and negotiate a peace, but now the State of Chu has offered to marry as a condition." The emperor was naturally happy to negotiate a peace agreement. And the marriage candidate was hand-picked by the emperor of Chu. If General Xiao insisted on refusing to accept it, he might arouse the emperor's wrath and suspicion. From General Xiao's point of view, Accepting marriage is the best choice, not only can you become a great contributor to the peace between the two countries, but also have the help of the princess of Chu's natal family, and then you can be crowned king, and you will have the same limelight in the court."

Su Li was silent for a while after listening to Gu Liangzhe's words. Of course, she understood that accepting marriage would be the most beneficial for Xiao Zetian.But she couldn't tell Gu Liangzhe that Xiao Zetian was secretly fighting against the emperor's decision.

So Su Li sighed silently, and continued to drink, but his heart had already drifted to the capital, within the deep palace walls.

At this time, the imperial palace in the capital city of the Jin Dynasty was brightly lit, with beautiful red lanterns hanging everywhere, and even the trees in the imperial garden were covered with countless fake flowers made of brocade. The flowers are blooming like a piece of brocade.

And the annual banquet of the grandest officials in the palace is going on bustlingly.

Emperor Xuan of Jin was in a particularly high spirits today, and drank a few more glasses. The empress looked dignified and virtuous. Although she was old and her face was old, it could be seen that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.

"Your majesty, this drink is quite strong. You should drink two glasses less, and you will get a headache after a hangover." The empress softly said.

Emperor Xuan of Jin laughed loudly, looked at Xiao Zetian who was sitting next to him, and said: "General Xiao is back from a full recovery, I am very happy!"

Holding the wine glass in his hand, Xiao Zetian stood up. Today he is wearing a black robe with dark red gold thread embroidery on the edge, looking elegant and luxurious.

Seeing Xiao Zetian's heroic appearance, Princess Mingyu of Chu State, who was sitting at the head of the empress, blushed suddenly, and stared straight at Xiao Zetian involuntarily.

The fiery eyes of Princess Mingyu were seen by the officials, and everyone whispered under their heads, saying that General Xiao Zetian is really lucky. Princess Mingyu, such a noble and beautiful beauty, seems to have a deep-rooted affection for him Woolen cloth!
A young waiter sat at the end, looking at Princess Mingyu's beautiful face, he was full of covetousness, but looking at Xiao Zetian, his eyes were full of jealousy and envy.

"Hey, why didn't any princess take a fancy to me and want to recruit me as a consort." The little servant said dejectedly to the friend next to him.

Friends teased him and said: "If you are as young and promising as General Xiao, and handsome, there will be princesses who will like you! But then again, ordinary officials like us think that it is good to be a son-in-law. You can take the position of General Xiao. I don’t think much of Chu’s son-in-law.”

The little servant nodded and said: "It's true, people like us think that being a son-in-law is a blessing in eight lifetimes. But General Xiao has a great military exploits, and he is a first-rank general. Even if he is not a son-in-law, he still wants to be a prince. There is a prince. Of course, I don't care about any consorts."

The little servant glanced at Xiao Zetian, Xiao Zetian had just finished toasting with the emperor, and he had never looked directly at Princess Mingyu at all.

So the little servant felt very uncomfortable!

"Look at Princess Mingyu, whom we all want to marry in our dreams. General Xiao doesn't even look at her, alas!"

The two chatted, shook their heads, and finally came to a conclusion: who made themselves not as awesome as General Xiao!

It's really maddening to compare people!
