Chapter 47: The Beauty Trap (1)

After the state banquet, there were several days of banquets, and the palace was still very lively.

Ling Botao didn't have time to attend this kind of banquet every day, but he just let his sons accompany everyone in Nanning.

After the defeat of Nanning, the king of Nanning sent Wen Ziran and several ministers to sue for peace, and also sent a princess and relatives.

This should have been a gesture of bowing their heads and apologizing, but the shelves of Nanning Guo's party were still very high, and they did not take the initiative to discuss the matter of seeking peace and apology with Dongyun's side in detail.

At this time, Ling Botao had already regretted the move of recalling the commander of the Fenyang army, that is, Ruan Qiguang, to Jinling in advance, and now the Fenyang army was leaderless and failed to suppress the Nanning army, which caused the Nanning country to be a little impatient.

When Nanning Guo clashed with the Fenyang army before, he had suffered several defeats, and was beaten to the point that his muscles and bones were broken.

At that time, the Fenyang army had already occupied several cities on the border of Nanning, and there was a tendency to march to Nanning, so the king of Nanning hurriedly sent people to Jinling to apologize for peace.

But he didn't expect Dongyun to order the Fenyang army to retreat, and also recalled the commander of the army to Jinling, resulting in Nanning taking back the city very smoothly without spending a single soldier.

Now the commander of the Fenyang Army, Ruan Qiguang, is still in Jinling, and if he wants to return to the southern border, it will take ten days and a half months even if he is fast.

At this time, the Nanning army was still guarding the border city, and it was far away from the Fenyang army.

If it weren't for Nanning's fear of the reputation of the Fenyang Army, coupled with the heavy casualties of the army, it was not suitable for a short-term resumption of war, and I don't know what move would be made.

Therefore, although Nanning and his party did not have much bowing their heads in awe at the state banquet before, Ling Botao also endured it, treated him politely, and only thought about waiting for the end of the peace talks and withdrawing the troops as soon as possible.

The Jinling banquet is popular, and there are many patterns, and the content of the banquet has not been repeated in these days.

The ladies and ladies of various families and the sons of various families rarely had the opportunity to enter and leave the palace freely, even if they were only able to walk around the palace outside the palace, but they were still very active in participating in the banquet for a few days.

What's more, the outstanding temperament and appearance of Wen Ziran, the envoy of Nanning, attracted all the young ladies to look forward to it every day, and they couldn't wait to stick around Wen Ziran.

In the garden, there were all kinds of refreshments and fruits, wooden tables and soft cushions, and there were many young ladies and sons of the family sitting scattered, while Zhong Liyun and Wen Ziran and others sat in the pavilion, sitting with several princes of Dongyun.

"These grapes are sweet." Ruan Tingge was absentmindedly looking at the scenery in the garden, and suddenly a grape was stuffed in his mouth.

Lin Yunxi was wearing a pink narcissus skirt today, wearing the lotus hosta on his head, and with a smile on his pink face, he sat next to Ruan Tingge.

She kept peeling the grapes in her hands, and the one she had just stuffed into Ruan Tingge's mouth was the one she had stuffed into her mouth.

Ruan Tingge swallowed the grapes in his mouth, it was the season of grapes, this green jade grape was sweet and juicy, and the entrance was very refreshing.

Seeing that Lin Yunxi peeled another grape to feed himself, Ruan Qingge hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You can eat it yourself." ”

Lin Yunxi stuffed one into his mouth and talked to Ruan Tingge while eating, "Although this banquet is quite boring, the taste of these dim sum melons and fruits is still very good." ”

"As long as there is something delicious, our Miss Lin will be satisfied, right?" Ruan Tingge laughed at her.

"The people take food as the sky," Lin Yunxi didn't feel embarrassed at all, said confidently, took a sip of tea, and continued to pinch a piece of dim sum and eat it, his eyes crooked with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Ruan Tingge shook his head a little amusedly, and teased her, "You can be careful, don't eat into a big fat man." ”

"No, no, I've been eating like this since I was a child, and I won't get fat." Lin Yunxi's cheeks were agitating there, and he said nonchalantly.

Ruan Qinge couldn't help but stretch out his finger and poke her cheek, seeing her innocent eyes looking at her, she couldn't help laughing and turned her head to look at the other side.

"Qinge, don't you usually like to participate in this kind of banquet, why are you pulling me over every day these days." Lin Yunxi took a sip of tea, swallowed the snack in his mouth and asked.

"I suddenly thought it was interesting, so I came over to have fun." Ruan Tingge casually pulled out a reason.

Lin Yunxi didn't believe it, his eyes rolled, and he leaned closer to Ruan Tingge and laughed softly, "Are you also here to see that Wen Gongzi." ”

Ruan Qingge glanced at her, didn't speak, just looked at the gazebo.

Most of the ladies in the garden chatted and laughed or enjoyed the flowers, but from time to time they would turn their eyes to the gazebo.

Wen Ziran is still dressed in white today, with a belt of the same color simply tied around his waist, his black hair is tied casually with a silver ribbon, there is no vertical crown or hairpin, and there are a few strands of hair scattered on his forehead.

Although it is a very simple dress, it looks more elegant and handsome among the many well-dressed young ladies and young women.

"Pouring song, why do you say this Wen Gongzi is so good-looking." Lin Yunxi saw Ruan Tingge looking at the pavilion, and also looked over, and sighed again when he saw Wen Ziran.

She didn't have an obsessive look in her eyes like other young ladies, but if she didn't look at Wen Ziran, she would still be amazed there.

She's said this several times today.

Although Ruan Tingge also felt that Wen Ziran had an outstanding appearance, he had already been amazed once in his previous life, and he was a little immune at this time.

What she mainly looked at was not Wen Ziran, but Ling Chengsi on the side.

In his previous life, something happened at the banquet in the past few days that was unfavorable to Ling Chenghe.

She had heard about it, but she didn't care about it at the time, and she didn't know exactly what day it happened. But tonight is different from the past, Ling Chengsi can be regarded as her key object of care, so she has come to the banquet every day in the past few days, wanting to find some clues and prevent that incident from happening in advance.

Ling Chengsi was wearing a dark robe today, without patterns, and Jun still had no expression on his face, sitting in the pavilion very coldly. And the sixth prince next to him, Ling Chengxi, was smiling, chatting with Wen Ziran and Zhong Lixuan from time to time.

Ling Chengyu, who disgusted Ruan Tingge the most, did not appear at the banquet today.

Zhong Liyun was still wearing a veil, his face could not be seen clearly, and he sat in the gazebo with a slender posture, his expression delicate.

Ling Chengsi seemed to feel Ruan Tingge's gaze, and raised his eyes to look in Ruan Tingge's direction.

Seeing Ruan Qinge smiling at him, Ling Chenghe's dark eyes couldn't help but have a little brilliance, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

It stands to reason that a cold hardwood like the third prince would not be able to do such a romantic thing.

After Ruan Qinge smiled at Ling Chenghe, he thought about it, and according to his skills, it was impossible for him to be unable to deal with a weak woman like Zhong Lixuan.

Since there is a high probability that someone is setting up a situation for Ling Chenghe, what can be done to avoid that incident?

She frowned, could it be that she was going to follow him all the time?
