Chapter 174: Tell the Truth
Today's palace is especially lively, with red lanterns hanging all over the palace gates, and the red carpet is spread directly from the palace gate to the main hall of the palace.
The guests who entered the palace today to attend the New Year's banquet were all people with a certain status in Daning Kingdom, so everyone was dressed up to attend.
As soon as Luo Lan got out of the carriage, Leng Yu greeted her, and he took her hand directly, as gentle as an eagle protecting his baby.
Luo Lan always felt that this was a little inappropriate, and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but he pulled it tighter.
He strode forward, her clinging to him.
When entering the palace gate, Yu Qiaoqiao, who was walking behind them, caught up and greeted her.
"Princess Yu..."
She raised her eyes and saw this amiable Miss Yu, and immediately squinted and chuckled,
"Miss Yu is here too..."
Yu Qiaoqiao nodded with a smile, the moment she raised her eyes to see Leng Yu, she suddenly blushed for no reason, and when she saw him, she instantly felt like she couldn't take her eyes off.
Luo Lan saw that her eyes were fixed on Leng Yu's face, and Leng Yu frowned a little embarrassed, she hurriedly spoke to resolve it,
"Miss Yu, this is my father-in-law Leng Yu, Lord Yu, I don't know if you knew each other before."
Yu Qiaoqiao came back to her senses, shook her head hurriedly, and smiled bitterly.
How could they not recognize it? When she first entered the palace and saw Leng Yu, he lived in his heart, and his father Yu Shiming also intended to marry Leng Yu as his wife, and had already asked the emperor for marriage, if he hadn't suddenly had an accident, presumably his wife standing beside him at this time should be himself!
Thinking of this, Yu Qiaoqiao sighed secretly, after she exchanged a few words with Luo Lan, she left in a hurry with the girl, she felt that she didn't have the courage to look at Leng Yu, his eyes made her unable to extricate herself when she saw it.
Today's annual banquet was held in the Bohol Palace, where the royal family held large banquets.
When Leng Yu and Luo Lan came in, the table was already in a rectangle, and the table covered with a gold silk soft cloth was full, Luo Lan glanced around, she really wanted to find a quiet corner to sit down, but when she came in, Chang Guifei didn't know whether it was kind or deliberate, and directly beckoned to her and motioned for her to sit down.
Although Luo Lan didn't like her, seeing that the place where she was sitting was full of female dependents, she could only whisper to Leng Yu:
"Xianggong, I'll go over there..."
Leng Yu frowned, and glanced at Chang Guifei's side with a gloomy expression, there was only a position in the corner behind Chang Guifei, and that position looked like the girl's position.
He held her hand and never let go, his handsome eyes were lightly raised, he looked at her sideways, and whispered in her ear in a gentle voice,
"The lady doesn't have to cater to anyone, just follow me."
As he spoke, he took her hand and sat down next to him, and when he saw this scene, Concubine Chang's face suddenly turned cold.
The seating order of the royal annual banquet is exquisite, and the seats are generally arranged according to the status of these people, next to the position of the head of the golden dragon table, and the right is sitting the king of Zhennan, Leng Yun was grounded, and Leng Yu's position next to Leng Zi'an was seated, and it should have been Leng Yu's position, and now it is Luo Lan to sit, and then Leng Xi, Leng Ming, and then Wu Taishi, Wu Hong, Yu Shiming and the more important ministers in the court.
On the left, sitting next to the golden dragon table are Chang Guifei, Li Guifei, Liu Dechang, Huang Shixiong, and important ministers in the palace.
The rest of the concubines and the family members of the ministers sat in the back position, including Yu Qiaoqiao, whose beautiful eyes looked at Leng Yu from time to time, although Leng Yu's eyes never looked at her, the rosy of her cheeks was still clearly visible.
At this time, Liu Xi's voice sounded like a male duck's voice,
"The emperor has arrived!"
Hearing this, everyone got up one after another and saluted the emperor in unison.
"Your Majesty is auspicious..."
The emperor came in a golden dragon robe, with a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.
He came to the position of the golden dragon table at the head, sat down with his clothes on his hand, looked at everyone, and said with a gentle face:
"Today is the New Year, so you don't have to be formal, just sit down!"
When everyone heard this, they sat back in their places.
At this time, the emperor glanced at the person sitting at the bottom of the head, and said loudly with a serious face:
"Today is the annual annual banquet of the Daning Kingdom, and I am very happy that all the vassal kings have come from thousands of miles away."
Speaking of this, he glanced at King Zhennan, a brother he hadn't seen in twenty years, and he looked much older.
King Zhennan also noticed his gaze, his eyes were horizontal, and his eyes were cold:
"I haven't seen it for many years, the emperor's heroic spirit is still undiminished, the courtiers are deeply relieved, and the courtiers wish the emperor a new year and a new atmosphere, the body is as tough as an iron ox, and I wish Daning the country and the people peace and prosperity."
"Hahaha!"
The emperor looked up to the sky and roared, this laughter did not come from the heart, but it seemed to be able to shake the sky.
After laughing, he looked at King Zhennan, his face was serious and a little gentle,
"Listening to the emperor's words, I haven't seen you for twenty years, and your body is becoming more and more tough and strong, I am deeply pleased, but I heard that the emperor's brother still has no heirs? This really makes me feel sad! ”
As soon as the emperor said this, Leng Zi'an's face turned blue, and he said this sentence in public, obviously mocking himself for having no children under his knees.
If it had been before, he would have been furious and walked away.
But not anymore, because he has little ambition.
He knew that the emperor would talk about it, so in the morning, he wanted to bring Xiao Zhi here.
Thinking of this, he looked up and laughed proudly,
"Hahaha..."
Hearing his unprovoked laughter, the emperor was a little confused about what was going on.
After the laughter stopped, Leng Zi'an raised his head proudly, looked at the emperor with burning eyes, and said loudly with a ruddy face:
"Thank you for worrying about the emperor's brother, but the younger brother not only has an heir under his knees, but also a son, smart, cute and clever, looks the same as his brother, brave and martial, and will definitely be a general in the future."
"Oh?"
Hearing him say this, the emperor's brows tightened for no reason, and there was a hint of mockery and disdain on his face.
Leng Zi'an has no children under his knees, this is something that everyone knows, but now he says that he has a son, which can be heard by anyone with a discerning eye, this is him talking nonsense.
So, the emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at him with curiosity, and said with disdain:
"Since my brother has a son, why don't you bring it for me and everyone to see? Let him get to know Yu'er, Xi'er and Ming'er? Is there something inconvenient? ”
The emperor said with a little suspicion, Leng Zi'an pulled the corners of his mouth, cleared his throat, and said proudly:
"My son is in the Yuwang Mansion, but he is still young and doesn't like such occasions, so his brother didn't bring him with him..."
