Chapter 16: First Sight

The banquet had been held for half a pillar of incense, and many military generals learned from the mouths of the ministers of the government and the opposition that His Majesty had recruited a young minister, who was said to be the young man who used ingenious methods to drive away locusts and save the famine.

A song and dance ended, and the dancing girls retreated one after another.

Probably because he drank too much wine, people became bolder. A military general slowly got up from his seat and walked out.

His face was slightly red, and after saluting Emperor Chen, he asked in a deep voice: "I heard that Your Majesty has recruited a young counselor, who is amazingly talented, why haven't you seen anyone today?" ”

Emperor Chen nodded lightly and said slowly: "Mo Shen has always disliked participating in banquets, so I can't force him. ”

But he suddenly changed his words, and then smiled heartily: "But since my heroes want to see it, it's okay, Li Sheng, you go and invite Mo Shen over!" ”

Manager Li answered, and hurriedly retreated.

When Luo Qi heard the name Mo Shen, he was a little familiar, but he didn't remember where he had heard it for a while.

Emperor Chen watched the ministers below talking to each other and drinking happily, but Luo Qi on the side was quiet, drinking alone, and couldn't help but pay more attention.

He looked at Luo Qi's face, remembered Luo Fengji, and sighed softly.

Luo Qi was closer to him, and although there was a commotion, she still heard His Majesty's sigh.

Although she didn't know why, because of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, she couldn't look up, so she continued to keep her head down and eat the fruit quietly.

"Luo Qi is twenty-eight years old this year?"

Suddenly hearing Emperor Chen's question about age, Luo Qi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, probably guessing His Majesty's intentions.

She looked up at the bright yellow figure and answered, "Exactly." ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chen showed a fatherly smile and sighed, "I still remember that my Zixuan and you were born on the same day!" I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you have all grown up! ”

He remembered the past, and his eyes were full of nostalgia.

"Luo Qi is now of marriageable age, can he have a man he likes?"

A helpless and bitter smile appeared on her face, and she said: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing, the minister has been on the expedition for five years, and he only returned today, how can he come from a pleasing man." ”

The ministers at the banquet probably guessed that His Majesty was going to find a good man for General Luo Qi.

Many of them are starting to have their own ideas.

Who wouldn't want to have the power of the Locke family? Marrying Luo Qi is equivalent to having some military power. Who can resist the rights?

As soon as their thoughts started, they heard Luo Qi's voice come again with obvious sadness.

"In addition, the minister's brother is now sick and weak, and it is the time to need someone to take care of him. The minister has no intention of marrying, and His Majesty Xie cares. ”

She clearly stated her thoughts in front of everyone, and also eliminated the bad intentions of some people.

At this moment, the sharp voice of Manager Li came from outside, "Master Mo Shen has arrived!" Congratulations to the son of the world! ”

Everyone looked at the comer.

Two people came to meet them, one of them was dressed in a red robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, and walked in with a smile, and he didn't forget to greet everyone on the way, looking like a gentleman.

The other person is diametrically opposed, dressed in a dark purple robe, with a carved face with distinct features, an angular face that is handsome and abnormal, and at the moment with a vague smile, looking at everyone is neither humble nor arrogant, giving people an inexplicable sense of alienation.

At a glance, the ministers knew that the red-robed man must be the son of He Wenshi.

He Wen is the only son of He Aonan, the king of the opposite sex, because his father and Chen Huang are brothers, Chen Huang said in private that he likes his "lawless" appearance very much, and he is also extremely doted on him on weekdays.

Later, after a long time, He Wen also developed this style of gentlemen, and there were his confidants and friends everywhere in the imperial capital.

And the dark purple robe man on the other side is naturally Mo Shen Gongzi.

Looking at Mo Shen's excellent appearance and unique temperament, everyone sighed secretly in their hearts.

is worthy of Gongzi Mo, fifteen-year-old only used one plan to get rid of locusts and save the people. Even though he was accepted by His Majesty as a counselor at the age of seventeen, he still has the same style.

Others don't know, but those close to Emperor Chen know, and the difficult problems submitted by the minister in the past three years can be easily solved in the hands of Gongzimo.

The world only says that His Majesty favors a minister, but they don't know that this is because he is capable, because he is worthy.

Luo Qi followed everyone's gaze, and when he saw the red-robed man's appearance, he was about to withdraw his gaze, and then he saw the purple-robed man behind him.

Her eyes were visibly stunned, and then she quickly reacted, quickly retracting her gaze, and her face continued to remain expressionless.

Because everyone focused on the two people who came in, no one noticed that Luo Qi was abnormal.

"Huh? Why did He Wen come with Mo Shen? Chen Huang looked at the "gentlemanly man" standing below suspiciously.

But without waiting for him to answer, he immediately turned his head to look at the other man, and said gently, "Mo Shen, sit on the lower right." ”

Mo Shen slowly sat down, and He Wen also sat down beside him. At this moment, the person sitting opposite them was Luo Qi.

Luo Qi kept her head down, as long as no one mentioned her, she could keep a low profile. It's not that I'm afraid of things, I'm just too lazy to deal with trouble.

Soon after Mo Shen arrived, Emperor Chen left first when he was tired, and without Emperor Chen, everyone seemed more comfortable.

He Wen knew that the person around him had never liked to come to this kind of occasion, but he was an unstable master, and he finally discovered something interesting.

He secretly reached out and pulled his friend's clothes, and said softly: "Did you see it, the woman opposite is wearing the same color clothes as you, and she looks good." ”

Mo Shen glanced at it, then looked at He Wen on the side and said seriously: "It's different, she is light-colored, and I am dark-colored." ”

As soon as the words fell, the woman opposite also seemed to notice that the two were wearing the same color, and she looked up slightly, just in time to see the side face of the man opposite.

Well! It's beautiful!

Before she could withdraw her gaze, she heard an exclamation.

"Ahh It's General Luo! He Wen looked surprised, and then picked up the wine glass.

"Luo Nu God of War, come, this son of the world will give you a drink."

It was a banquet, and it was common to toast, but the object was Luo Qi, which attracted the attention of some people.

Luo Qi was not hypocritical, he returned the salute generously, raised his head and drank it, and saw the bottom of a glass.

At this time, he felt that a sight was looking at him, and Luo Qi looked back, it was Mo Shen.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time looked away nonchalantly.

At first, no one dared to toast Luo Qi, but now He Wenshizi took the lead, and then more and more people came to toast her.

Most of them are generals who are good at going out with Luo Qi, and Luo Qi is naturally familiar with them.

In just a while, Luo Qi had already drunk no less than twenty glasses of wine. She felt a little dizzy, and knew that she might have drunk too much, so she quickly refused the toast from the visitor.

Mo Shen looked over inadvertently, and the woman's cheeks were slightly red, but her eyes were still clear.

If he hadn't noticed that she had just reached for the fruit on the table, he wouldn't have known that she was drunk.

Mo Shen chuckled and lowered his eyes to look at the fruit on his table.

It's so cute!
