Chapter 544: Hold a feast
The palace was preparing to hold a feast to entertain the foreign envoys led by the Tuoba brothers and sisters, and the concubine learned about it and carefully choreographed a dance to please the emperor.
"Your Majesty, today I have specially choreographed a dance for this feast, please enjoy it." The concubine spoke respectfully to the emperor, but the emperor ignored the concubine.
"Well, you jump." The emperor was very perfunctory to the concubine, and the concubine didn't dare to say anything.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The concubine happily went to dance for everyone.
The emperor has only cared about giving Lin Yu food.
"Come, eat a little more, I specially ordered someone to make it for you today." The emperor persuaded Lin Yu to eat the dish he had just sandwiched.
"I don't want it, you want to eat it yourself, don't clip it for me." Lin Yu refused to accept the emperor's kindness and let the emperor eat it himself.
"What's wrong? Is there something unhappy about it? Isn't that your favorite food? The emperor asked Lin Yu if he was unwell or in a bad mood.
"No, Your Majesty, look, there are so many people, you are the emperor, you should pay more attention." Lin Yu asked the emperor to pay more attention to his image, and the emperor could manage so much, but his eyes were full of Lin Yu, and he was not interested in watching the concubine dance.
"Then why don't you eat the food I gave you? Are these dishes unappetizing? I'm going to have them remade right away. With that, the emperor prepared to ask the people to prepare the food again.
"No, Your Majesty, it's not that these dishes are unappetizing, it's that you keep clipping me, and I can't finish it." Lin Yu stopped the emperor from changing the dishes and explained to the emperor why he didn't eat it.
"I see, if only you had told me earlier, it's no wonder I didn't notice this." The emperor blamed himself a little.
"Don't say that, the emperor, this is also the fault of the concubine, it is the concubine who can't keep up with the emperor's speed." Lin Yu and the emperor joked above, and Fu Yinxiao below also wanted to follow the emperor's example and feed Tao Kite after seeing it.
"What are you doing?" Tao Yuan turned his head and asked Fu Yinxiao.
"Of course I fed you, what's wrong?" Fu Yinxiao responded to Tao Kite with a smile.
"Feed me? It's not like I can't eat it myself. Tao Kite was a little disgusted with Fu Yinxiao.
"Oh, kite, you can just take a bite." Fu Yinxiao kept coaxing Tao Kite to eat with the vegetables.
"Okay, okay, I really can't help you, then I'll reluctantly eat it." Tao Kite pretended to be reluctant to eat Fu Yinxiao's vegetables.
The four of them showed their affection to each other like this, and the concubine was still dancing for everyone. The dancing concubine was favored by the envoys of the foreign land, and proposed in public that she wanted to marry the concubine.
"It's a good dance, and it's a good person, so why don't you just follow me." Hahahaha. The envoy's words made the concubine ashamed and annoyed.
"I'm the emperor's concubine, how can you say such a thing?" The concubine scolded the envoy for not understanding etiquette.
"You're so good-looking, and people don't want to marry you?" The envoy defended that he only said what he said just now because the concubine was good-looking.
"But no matter how good-looking I look, I am also the emperor's concubine, and you should be more restrained in your speech." The concubine kept accusing the envoy, and the envoy was also very unhappy.
"You woman, you actually accused me, I fell in love with you to give you face." The envoy stood up in exasperation.
Tuoba Sheng saw that such a thing would definitely bring a lot of trouble to himself, so he also got up and planned to stop the envoy's behavior.
"You sit down first, how can you do such a shameful thing? Everyone said that it was the emperor's concubine, so you shouldn't act so recklessly, even if it's not, then you shouldn't show this appearance in front of the emperor, it's really a shame for us. Tuoba Sheng rebuked and accused the envoys of not following the rules.
"Prince? I... What am I doing wrong? The envoy felt that he had been wronged and had not yet realized his mistake.
"Being so presumptuous in front of the emperor, how do I teach you on weekdays?" Tuoba Sheng has always been harsh on the envoys, so that the envoys also lose face.
"The prince doesn't have to worry, it's not in the way, today's feast is also a happy thing, it is inevitable that some unpleasant things will happen, and the prince doesn't have to blame the envoys anymore." It was the emperor's sudden speech that made Tuoba Sheng stop scolding the envoys.
"It is still the emperor who has magnanimously forgiven us for our rudeness, and we should thank the emperor for it." Tuoba Sheng politely thanked the emperor for his forgiveness.
Xie Yingying had a good impression after seeing Tuoba Sheng at the banquet, but she was reluctant to give up the prince.
"This foreign prince is really extraordinary, and he is not surprised in the face of such a thing, it would be good if I followed him, but what about His Royal Highness the Prince?" Xie Yingying sat alone and muttered.
"Hey, no, I can't leave His Royal Highness the Prince, but this prince is also really good, although some places are not as good as His Royal Highness the Prince, but it is really charming." Xie Yingying was deeply attracted by Tuoba Sheng, and the look on her face made her face look extraordinarily red.
"But how can I get him to notice me?" Xie Yingying wanted to take the initiative to find an opportunity to get close to Tuoba Sheng to get Tuoba Sheng's attention.
"Prince, I salute you for this glass of wine, you came to us and didn't have a good time, it's really ashamed." Xie Yingying's initiative made Tuoba Jie alert.
"It turned out to be Miss Xie, don't say that, girl, we've been here for a while, and we know a lot of folk art." Tuoba Sheng casually made up an excuse to perfunctory Xie Yingying.
"Huh? It turned out that the prince had already learned about folk art, and he was really ashamed. Xie Yingying didn't know that Tuoba Sheng had actually learned about folk art and felt a little ashamed.
"You woman came here, you probably want to seduce my brother, right?" Tuoba Jie saw through Xie Yingying's intention to deliberately mock.
"I ...... I'm not, princess, not what you think. Xie Yingying hurriedly explained.
"Not? So what are you? My brother is so good, naturally there are many women who are close to him, and I have seen a lot of people like you, but as far as you are concerned, you are also worthy? Tuoba Jie's words were thorny, so that Xie Yingying couldn't fight back.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's not what you think, I just want to learn about your culture and art with you, I didn't think about it that much." Xie Yingying pretended to be aggrieved and innocent and wanted to escape.
"You don't have to pretend anymore, I said, I've seen a lot of you like this, so you don't need to pretend like this." Tuoba Jie advised Xie Yingying not to continue pretending.
"I saw that Her Royal Highness the princess is very smart, nothing can escape your eyes, since this is the case, then I can't help it." Xie Yingying saw that her disguise was not working, so she prepared to leave.
"I advise you to stop beating my brother's crooked ideas, otherwise be careful that I will teach you a lesson." Tuoba Jie warned Xie Yingying not to approach Tuoba Sheng.
