Chapter 5 Thorn in the Back

The carriage drove slowly towards the palace, and as I approached the palace gate, I gently lifted the curtains, and the magnificent palace gate was close in front of me, and it was extremely majestic. Somehow, my heart suddenly tugged again, and there was a fine pain, as if this palace was inexplicably involved with me.

I was thinking about it, Li Xuan had already stepped out of the carriage first, and seeing that I didn't go down, he lifted the curtain with his hand and said gently: "Don't come down yet." "The way he looked at me was no longer cold and detached, but gentle and distant.

I looked like the second monk was confused, and looked at Li Xuan in a daze, this sudden gentleness made my heart beat a drum, I was secretly vigilant, for fear that he would suddenly change his face and get angry, and then I thought about it, after all, this is the palace, no matter how bold Li Xuan is, he doesn't dare to do anything to me in the palace.

Thinking about it this way, I'm less worried. I lifted the skirt of the palace dress and walked out of the carriage, but I saw Li Xuanlang standing and stretching out a hand towards me, the slender fingers were distinctly jointed, and there were slight calluses in the depths of the palms, which I knew was only available to those who practiced martial arts. But it's a pity that I've never seen Li Xuan's martial arts with my own eyes, and I don't know if he's a master.

Seeing that I was still hesitating, Li Xuan's face was gentle, and he smiled lightly: "If you don't come down again, this king can go first." ”

His words worked, and I hurriedly put my hand on his big palm and he helped him out of the carriage. The feeling of solidity on the ground came from the soles of my feet, and I smiled easily, and inadvertently met Li Xuan's dark eyes that were as deep as the night, and the smile immediately froze on my face.

I tried to break free of Li Xuan's grip on me, but Li Xuan's strength was very strong, and there were many guards around me watching, so I couldn't hold on any longer, and let him lead me to the depths of the palace.

The strange thing is that we have never met Li Xuan's colleagues in the court all the way, usually these people are desperate to tie up Li Xuan, for fear of falling behind other officials, but this time they are not waiting for Li Xuan at the gate of the palace and go to the banquet first, which is too abnormal. Then I had a flash of inspiration, could it be that the emperor only entertained the two of us?

Thinking of this, I subconsciously bit my lip, if it was just me and Li Xuan at the banquet, then I would definitely be sitting on pins and needles, super uncomfortable. Oops, what to do? It's really a headache, and this Emperor Qi is really good.

I forgot for a moment how sharp Li Xuan's eyes were, and he could see all my emotions clearly, as if he knew what I was worried about, and his voice was soft and pleasant: "This time the emperor has set up a banquet, and he has invited several royal families from neighboring countries and close ministers of the court, you just need to sit obediently." ”

The big stone in my heart is half gone, at best I am just a foil, then I just eat and drink well and talk less, and everything will be fine.

Just when I was happy, Li Xuan's next sentence pulled me directly back to reality from the dream: "You are the princess of this king, the emperor will not ignore you in love, he will definitely ask you a few words, don't embarrass this king at that time." ”

"Oh-" I bowed my head in response, my voice as small as a mosquito. It's not that I hate to go to the palace for banquets, I can see a lot of novelty at the palace dinner, taste the delicacies of the mountains and seas all over the world, and I can also narcissistically taste a sense of superiority. To put it bluntly, I am stained with Li Xuan's light, and I have everything I have today by relying on the identity of Princess Xuan, otherwise I am just an orphan girl who doesn't even know who she is.

What I am afraid of is Emperor Qi Long Xiao, the king who dominates the world and kills people, I glanced at him from a distance half a year ago, and I intuitively felt that he was handsome and extraordinary, and his posture was magnificent. Li Xuan, the first beautiful man in Daqi, praised him even more for his majesty and strategy, and he can be called a strong man in the world.

Whether Emperor Qi is strong or not is not my concern, I am afraid that he is because of his cold eyes that make me more frightened than Li Xuan, cold and profound, as if to penetrate everyone's mind in the heart, every time his gaze falls on me unintentionally, I always feel that the stab is in the back, and I don't have the courage to look at each other.

What makes me even more frightened and aggrieved is that Emperor Qi will send the old and senior teachers in the palace to come to the Xuan Palace, to teach me the royal etiquette and many rules in the palace.

I'm just a princess, and I'm not the master of the palace, can I learn so many royal and noble manners? Dare to love Emperor Qi is worried that my orphan girl will lose face to the dignified King Xuan? Every time at this time, I viciously scolded Li Xuan from head to toe in my heart before I got rid of my hatred.

The dinner is set in the Luoyu Pavilion built near the water, with pavilions and pavilions, exquisite and gorgeous. In the late autumn, the laurel tree is fragrant, refreshing, I saw the eaves and green tiles of the palace, and there was a little eunuch with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes who came up to greet Li Xuan, I couldn't help but sigh again Emperor Qi's favoritism and favor for Li Xuan, what kind of charm did Li Xuan have to make Emperor Qi, who was known as the strongest man in the world, treat him so politely?

Li Xuan took my hand and walked into the hall elegantly and calmly, not surprisingly, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of me, I was inevitably a little panicked, at this time Li Xuan took my hand and held it tighter, trying to transmit my strength to reassure me. I found that Li Xuan still has advantages.
