Chapter 1354 - Sitting on pins and needles
After thinking about it, Lin Wancai looked at Ximen Yuqing seriously and explained in a low voice: "Brother Ximen, maybe there is something wrong with me in this matter, I shouldn't let this all develop so quickly." But, believe me, I won't make Yun'er sad, and neither will he. ”
Ximen Yuqing glanced at Lin Wan deeply, nodded slowly, and said softly: "I believe that you will help me take care of her." Although I haven't had much time to spend with her over the years, in my heart, I have always regarded her as my most important relative. ”
Lin Wanyan smiled and said, "Brother Ximen, Yun'er has found a lover who is happy with each other, we should be happy for her." Do you regret it?"
When Ximen Yuqing heard this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, leaned into Lin Wan's ear, and whispered playfully: "If he is really that person, would you still be so happy?"
Lin Wan pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her voice, and said firmly: "He won't." ”
Ximen Yuqing laughed, touched his smooth chin, nodded, and said lightly: "Maybe, I should send him one." ”
Lin Wan smiled and frowned, glared at Ximen Yuqing, and spit out two words arrogantly: "You dare!"
Ximen Yuqing glanced at Lin Wan and did not continue the topic, his gaze turned to the people in the main hall.
Ximen Longao has not yet arrived, and almost all the civil and military officials have arrived. The venue was very lively, with officials chatting and young people behind them laughing and joking.
The palace maids and eunuchs shuttled between the banquets, adding tea and pouring wine, sending pastries and fruits, everything was in order.
Lin Wan ate the grapes on the table while casually observing the surrounding situation. She found that there were a lot of eyes on her, and her every move was under the attention of those people.
Although Lin Wan didn't care about other people's eyes, since he had found out, being stared at like this still made Lin Wan feel a little uncomfortable.
Ximen Yuqing also noticed Lin Wan's abnormality, turned his head to meet someone's gaze, and warned the other party with his eyes.
However, Ximen Yumin on the opposite side did not show weakness, raised his chin, looked back at Ximen Yuqing coldly, picked up the wine glass on the table, raised it to Ximen Yuqing, and then drank it all.
Ximen Yuqing also picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, but his eyes kept staring coldly at Ximen Yumin, and the expression on his face did not loosen at all.
Under the deterrence of Ximen Yuqing's momentum, Ximen Yumin finally turned his head angrily, with a dark face, and drank alone.
Lin Wan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, smiled at Ximen Yuqing, approached Ximen Yuqing again, and asked in a low voice, "Who is the woman in yellow behind General Yumin, and why does she keep secretly looking at me?"
Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, and asked in a low voice: "It should be a very normal thing to sit next to Prince Ben and be looked at and peeped at by other women, right?"
Lin Wan smiled as if he suddenly realized, smoothed the broken hair next to his ear, nodded and agreed: "That is, I don't have enough self-confidence, sitting next to Brother Ximen, it's really like sitting on pins and needles." Not to mention, there are so many beautiful women in the field, even Brother Simon's appearance is not comparable to ordinary women. ”
Ximen Yuqing frowned and looked at Lin Wan, always feeling that Lin Wan didn't seem to be praising himself, but there was some sarcasm in his words. However, Lin Wan said this sincerely, his eyes were clear, and Ximen Yuqing couldn't find anything wrong.
Outside the hall, the voice of Gonggong Hua came: "The emperor has arrived! His Royal Highness the King of Qi has arrived! General Yuling has arrived!"
The hall suddenly fell silent, and all the officials stood up one after another, walked to both sides of the open space in the middle, knelt down respectfully, and shouted in unison: "The ministers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" See His Royal Highness the King of Qi and General Yuling!"
Ximen Yuqing, Zhou Chengkuan, Lan Ziheng, Lin Wan, Shangguan Yun, and Lu Manting also stood up and stood on both sides of the seat and bowed to greet each other.
Ximen Longao was dressed in a dragon robe, smiling, and walked slowly. A heroic atmosphere, giving people a feeling of benevolence and elegance, like a spring breeze.
And Ximen Hucheng behind him is just the opposite, tall and mighty, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, expressionless face, and every step is mighty.
Walking beside Ximen Hucheng is the handsome Ximen Yuling, although he looks as elegant and friendly as Ximen Longao, but there is also an innate majesty. No wonder, Ximen Yumin and Ximen Yuqi are so convinced of him, and even Ximen Yuqing has always respected him as a big brother.
Lin Wan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ximen Yuqing, only to see that although there was no expression on his face, the gloom in his eyes revealed his somewhat complicated feelings.
Ximen Longao walked up to the high platform, sat down on the dragon chair in the middle, and beckoned Ximen Hucheng to sit on the seat on his left.
"Zhong Aiqing, be flat!" Ximen Longao raised his hand slightly, and said very kindly to everyone in the audience with a smile.
"Thank you for your grace!" everyone in the audience bowed respectfully again and slowly got up.
Ximen Longao picked up the golden cup in front of him, stood up, and said loudly: "Today is a dust-washing banquet prepared for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Nanyue Kingdom and Princess Heshuo of the Great Feudal Kingdom, as well as His Royal Highness King Ping and Princess Wan of the Great Feudal Kingdom. Everyone drank and had fun without formality. Tonight, there are no kings and ministers, only close brothers, so they make friends; there is no government affairs, only wine and food, singing and dancing. I won't say much, let's have a drink with all Aiqing first. ”
All the officials raised their wine glasses, respectfully faced the stage, and said loudly: "Ministers respect the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
Ximen Long laughed proudly, raised a glass to Ximen Hucheng, Ximen Yuling, Lan Ziheng, and Zhou Chengkuan beside him, and then drank it all.
Ximen Hucheng, Ximen Yuling, Lan Ziheng, Lu Manting, Zhou Chengkuan, Shangguan Yun, Ximen Yuqing, and Lin Wan also raised their glasses to Ximen Longao politely, said a few polite words, and each raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.
Then, each of them sat down, and Ximen Longao nodded to Gonggong Hua beside him.
Father-in-law Hua bowed down to receive the order, shook off the dust, and raised his chin to the little Hu father-in-law behind him, and the little Hu father-in-law immediately went down to give the order.
After a while, the music began to roar, and from outside the hall came a group of dancing girls dressed in white light veils, their water sleeves swirling in the air, and they flew into the arena like fairies, dancing.
The seats of Ximen Yuqing and Lin Wan were on the right of Ximen Longao, and on the other side of Lin Wan were the seats of Zhou Chengkuan and Shangguan Yun.
The five tables on the stage are arranged in an arc, Ximen Longao is in the center, Ximen Hucheng and Ximen Yuling father and son are sitting together, and on the other side of them are Lan Ziheng and Lu Manting.
From Lu Manting's point of view, as soon as she turned her head, she could see Zhou Chengkuan and Shangguan Yun on the opposite side. And Lin Wan was a little further back, hiding behind Ximen Yuqing, so that he could avoid Lu Manting's sight.
