Hanxin didn't stay long, and after changing back into his clothes, he returned to the antechamber quietly, without attracting anyone's attention.

The front hall was still very lively, and the eighth princess Ling Long had just gasped a little because she was dancing too the field, and her delicate little face was flushed, which added a bit of coquettishness. A pair of beautiful eyes never left Situ Lie from beginning to end.

Seeing Situ Lie's reaction, the emperor was slightly dissatisfied, so he asked loudly to the envoys, "How is the princess's dancing?" ”

The ministers sitting below all gave a thumbs up, constantly nodding and praising each other, and all kinds of beautiful words were endless, hearing the Eastern Jin Dynasty Emperor Long Yan Dayue, and then looking at Situ Lie, there was still no reaction. So the emperor deliberately asked: "Regent, is the show just now still eye-catching?" ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Situ Lie finally raised his eyes, looked directly at the emperor and said, "It's not bad, it seems that the dancing girls have outstanding dancing skills!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the voices of the ministers, who were still praising them, stuck in their throats, and stared at the person above who said this sentence with wide eyes.

The emperor's face turned dark, and this Situ Lie actually called the eight dignified princesses of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as a dancing queen, which really brushed the emperor's face and the face of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. originally wanted to marry the princess to him, but now he is so ignorant.

Situ Lie didn't seem to see the emperor's face, didn't see the reaction of the ministers, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.

Princess Ling Long was sitting on the side at this time, and layers of mist had already risen in her eyes, if she hadn't endured it, she would have already brought rain to the pear blossoms.

The crown prince Ling Yan on the side saw that the atmosphere was cold, hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and said loudly: "What kind of drunken words did the regent say, my eighth princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty not only danced outstandingly, but also wrote poetry and songs, how can it be compared to a mere dancing girl." ”

As soon as these words came out, he earned a few more faces for the emperor, and the atmosphere rose a little more. Princess Ling Long was a little more grateful to this brother who she usually didn't like at this time, if it wasn't for the prince saying this, she would really have become a joke today. But looking at Situ Lie again, that god-like man, even though he had just said something like that, he still liked him and couldn't extricate himself.

Hearing the words of the crown prince Ling Yan, the emperor's face softened a lot, and the ministers became lively again. At this time, the emperor looked at Situ Lie again, but he suddenly lost his original liking, a hairy boy was a little smart, so he dared to be so arrogant, he really had to give him a few colors to see. So he turned his head to look at Dongfang Sheng on the side, and saw that Dongfang Sheng was still leaning to the side, with a good look of watching a show.

The emperor suddenly asked Dongfang Sheng: "Sheng Shizi, it's been a few days since I came to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, can you still get used to everything?" ”

Dongfang Sheng smiled evilly, attracting some from the young lady of the family, and said: "There is Emperor Lao's concern, everything is used to it!" ”

The emperor was very satisfied with this answer, and finally smiled, and then said: "I heard that Sheng Shizi is almost in the year of hair binding, and there is no concubine in the mansion. ”

As soon as these words came out, many ladies of the family pricked up their ears, hoping that they were the lucky one. Dongfang Sheng didn't speak, but raised his eyes and swept over the young ladies present, deliberately looking in the direction where Hanxin was. This move provoked many people present to whisper eagerly, and it confirmed the habit of breaking sleeves of this Shengtian Shengshizi.

The emperor thought that Dongfang Sheng was looking for a woman he liked, so he smiled and said: "My eight daughters are the meat of my heart, and I also want to choose a colt for her, and she must not be a dragon among men!" As he spoke, he glanced at Dongfang Sheng a few times.

Princess Ling Long originally wanted to stop the emperor, but after thinking about it, if she was asked for by the prince, even if she didn't agree, she could let Situ Lie see that she was not unwanted, and maybe she would look at herself differently. So he didn't say anything, everything seemed to be arranged by the emperor.

The emperor was full of joy and thought that Dongfang Sheng could understand his meaning and would definitely follow the emperor's words to ask to marry the eighth princess.

Hanxin sat in the corner, looking at Dongfang Sheng curiously, waiting for his answer, because she didn't think it would be a good thing.

After waiting for a while, Dongfang Sheng finally spoke: "My prince of Shengtian is only five years old, if the eighth princess does not dislike it, this prince can repair a book, and quickly ask what my emperor means!" Before the words fell, a few uninteresting people in the crowd couldn't help but chuckle, the angry emperor's face was comparable to pig's liver, and the beard at the corner of his mouth was up.

Princess Linglong, who had just swallowed her tears, was now sitting on pins and needles, and she had to find a hole to drill down, but she didn't expect that her dignified princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be disgusted so much.

The queen who was sitting quietly on the side finally spoke up: "Sheng Shizi laughed, Princess Linglong is the emperor's sweetheart, even if you want to choose a good son-in-law, you must be cautious, how can ordinary people match." ”

Hearing this, Han Xin looked up to the queen a little higher. These words brought Dongfang Sheng's meaning just now as a joke, and also belittled Shengtian, the prince became an ordinary person, and raised the identity of Princess Ling Long. No wonder this Ling Yan has been able to occupy the position of the East Palace for many years, with such a mother planning for herself, what else is she worried about?

The emperor had long lost interest because of the succession, and it didn't take long for the queen to return to the palace.

Without the emperor, the reception banquet will be even more lively. Many ministers have long since let go of their daytime righteousness and indulged in joyful songs and wine.

Ling Yan knew that the time had come, and a group of beauties who had already been arranged entered in response, attracting the attention of the people. I saw three top-class stunning beauty Ji walking towards the three envoys respectively, scratching their heads and making gestures, wanting to capture these proud sons of heaven by consistent means.

Dongfang Sheng Yuguang saw Mei Ji who walked in slowly, and after a slight gesture, he saw Xue Er behind him blocking in front of the woman, and said expressionlessly: "My son-in-law doesn't like people to approach!" ”

Seeing Xue Er's tough posture, the woman had to turn around and glance at Ling Yan very aggrievedly.

But at this moment, I saw Situ Lie's side, the incomparably beautiful woman who had just been lying in a pool of blood, her hair was messy, everyone took a closer look, only to find that the woman's palm had already been cut to the ground by a knife, and she fell to the ground in pain and fainted.

The prince hurriedly walked in and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Sheng only said casually: "If you touch something that shouldn't be touched, you will naturally cut it down!" These words were short and cruel, and the ministers who were still laughing had already been stunned, but they didn't expect that this Xuanwu regent was really as ruthless as rumored.

Prince Ling Yan immediately agreed with Situ Lie's words, and said to the group of guards: "I don't know what to do, pull her down for me and drive her out of the prince's mansion." Before the words fell, several guards hurriedly dragged the woman out mercilessly in a pool of blood.

Only Murong Yu, who was sitting on the side, looked at all this with cold eyes, staying out of the matter, as if everything today had nothing to do with him.
