Chapter 55: The Reception Banquet
Concubine Xi was keenly aware of the slightest hint of embarrassment, and added fuel to the fire on the side: "Your Majesty, you see that Prince Jialan is a talent, and he and Suyue are simply a match made in heaven. ”
The emperor glanced at Concubine Xi, "Didn't you say last time that Su Yue and Ye Qin were quite compatible?" The tone was full of doubt.
"Oops, we are good-looking, and we look good with each other." Concubine Xi hurriedly said with a smile.
The emperor felt that Concubine Xi said that Yue Li was beautiful, and the daughter she had carefully raised was the most beautiful, and these men who were interested in seeing it must have taken a fancy to Yue Li's beauty and identity.
The emperor will not agree to this matter, compared to this prince of Jialan, Ye Qin doesn't know how many times better, at least he knows the roots, the country of Jialan is thousands of miles away, if Yue Li goes there in the future, if he is wronged, he will not be able to protect Yue Li.
Before these eight characters were skimmed, the emperor began to brainstorm, frantically thinking about the future.
Toshner looked at Yue Li with a smile again, and the aggression in his eyes was self-evident: "Your Highness, I wonder if you can promise me?" ”
If Yue Li promised him, he would have a ghost, and when he was about to say something, Lord Wang, who had reacted, spoke: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the matter of Her Royal Highness the Princess will be talked about later, you can enter the table first." ”
At this time, the emperor also ended his thoughts, came back to his senses, and said with a smile to Toshner, "The prince will be seated first." ”
Yue Li breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what time it was, if you talk about it later, it means that this matter is out of order. It seems that the father will not marry this Toshner himself.
Toshner was a little disappointed, but the emperor had spoken, and he could no longer stand here. The ministers also breathed a sigh of relief, this prince was really delusional.
When Toshner sat back in his seat, he heard a ding, crisp sound like droplets of water. A group of dancing girls slowly entered, as light and beautiful as birds.
With the sound of silk and bamboo behind them, the dancers began to dance the Garan dance, Toshna looked at the dancers, and then looked at the emperor, his face was full of pride and pride: "Your Majesty, this is the best dancing girl in our Garan, this time I specially brought them over, just I don't want Your Majesty to miss it." ”
The Emperor nodded, satisfied.
The dancing girls are all beautiful women with deep facial features, honey-colored skin, and dazzling dances, which make Yue Li have to admire. Different from the delicate and graceful appearance of the women in the Central Plains, these dancing girls were like a ball of flame that burned the eyes of everyone present.
Ye Qin didn't look at it at all, and Toshner's words just now were like a foreign body blocking her throat, making him feel panicked. Ye Qin found that since Yue Li woke up, the whole person has changed, but she can't say what is the difference, and now Yue Li is like a magnet, firmly attracting everyone.
Yue Li watched Ye Qin's face getting darker and darker, and it seemed that he was very angry with Toshner, and he had to find an opportunity to give him Shun Mao.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, Yue Li was also a little drunk. The people of the mission just now toasted glass after glass of wine, and her face was flushed like a peach blossom, which made the two men present look sideways.
Yue Li was dizzy for fear that he would lose his temper, so he looked at the emperor and whispered, "Father, I want to go to the imperial garden for a walk." ”
When the emperor saw Yue Li's appearance, he knew that she was a little drunk, and it was still a long time before the banquet ended, and it was not impossible to go out for a walk.
Seeing that the emperor agreed, Yue Li got up, gave Ye Qin a glance and walked towards the imperial garden. Of course, Ye Qin could understand Yue Li's meaning, and followed closely after she went out.
Yue Li walked towards the lake, and his originally chaotic brain was awakened by the cool breeze.
"Whew." Yue Li let out a breath, and felt a little missing the food made by Panxiang, although he said that he also ate a little something, but he was annoyed by Toshna's affairs, where did he have any appetite? Now that I came out, I was a little hungry.
"Well done, this time." Ye Qin's voice came from behind, and Yue Li turned around and looked at him proudly.
Ye Qin's eyes were full of approval: "Your Highness really impressed me this time." But his face changed again: "Prince Garan is all fascinated by you. ”
Ye Qin was jealous again, Yue Li sniffed the sour smell in the air, and said in his heart. She smiled: "Why is Lord Ye so small-bellied." ”
Ye Qin looked at her and said unconvinced: "I don't know what Weichen did to make His Highness feel that Weichen has a small belly." That tone seemed to say: Lord Ye is a vinegar vat.
"Your face is about to have to compete with the clothes on your body." Yue Li pursed her lips and expressed disdain for Ye Qin's dead duck's hard mouth.
Ye Qin looked embarrassed, and said confidently: "Is the princess mistaken?" ”
"Well, maybe I'm wrong." Yue Li nodded, "Lord Ye's face is originally green. ”
Seeing that Yue Li was not in shape, Ye Qin rolled his eyes at Yue Li: "Your Highness, you are yin and yang, don't make fun of Wei Chen." ”
Yue Li approached Ye Qin with a smile, and sighed like an orchid: "Isn't Lord Ye also a yin and yang weirdness?" ”
Ye Qin clearly felt Yue Li's breath brushing against his skin, with a fleeting heat, which made him intoxicated. The chrysanthemums in the garden are blooming just right, with the last insect chirping of autumn and the heartbeat of each other, making the atmosphere ambiguous.
Originally, the atmosphere was just right, but the gurgling sound made the two of them react, Ye Qin looked at Yue Li, and his eyes were helpless: "Didn't Your Highness eat?" ”
Yue Li was a little embarrassed, blushing and said, "I haven't eaten much, so I'm a little hungry now." ”
"Would Your Highness like to have some supper?" Ye Qin smiled and stretched out his hand to Yue Li, as if inviting her.
Yue Li has been busy all day, and he hasn't eaten much, and now it is most appropriate to describe it with a gold star in his eyes: "Eat, of course this princess wants to eat." ”
"Let's go, then." Yue Li took Yue Li's hand and walked towards the main hall.
Yue Li thought that he was going to pull himself back, and his face was a little reluctant: "I don't want to go back now." ”
"Not going back." Ye Qin smiled mysteriously, he held Yue Li's hand tightly, and he didn't know what he was looking for.
When he was about to arrive at the gate of the main hall, he happened to meet the eunuch on duty, and Ye Qin pulled him over, "This father-in-law, please go to the main hall to spread a word, just say that Ye Qin and Her Royal Highness the princess are not strong enough to drink, so they will retire first." ”
The eunuch was startled when he was dragged over by Ye Qin, but when he saw Yue Li hurriedly kneeling down, he was about to salute: "See Your Highness." ”
Yue Li was a little weak-hearted: "No courtesy, no courtesy, you just bring the words." ”
"Yes." Where did the eunuch dare to say more, he hurriedly walked to the main hall.
Yue Li was a little curious, how could there be ready-made food in this palace, "Where is Lord Ye taking me for this?" God mysterious. ”
Ye Qin blinked, as if he wanted to share some secret with Yue Li, "Let's leave the palace." ”
