285 The Eldest Princess (46)
Nan Xuange always seemed to bow his head respectfully, his face was calm, and even if he was praised by the emperor, he did not show the slightest trace of pride.
Seeing this, the emperor nodded appreciatively, laughed and patted his broad shoulder, and said, "Good boy! Between the words, it seems that the mustard that arose from the past has vanished.
With that, he waved his hand, strode up the steps, and sat down in the highest and most conspicuous position in the audience, "So, let the feast begin!" ”
As soon as he gave the order, suddenly, the sound of silk and bamboo slowly sounded, the clothes were light, the fragrant veil covered the face, and the slender woman slowly danced with the music. The banquet was staggered. At the end of the round, many ministers stepped forward one by one with gifts in their hands, and said auspicious words to offer gifts. The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, hooked his lips and nodded, and casually gave the royal family exclusive imperial wine for everyone to drink.
Everyone seemed to be radiant on the surface, smiling and nodding and chatting with the person next to them, and the words were cheerful. However, they both know very well, everything is just a deliberately disguised illusion of harmony.
Face and heart do not match, in this ancient world where there is competition everywhere, it is a compulsory course for high-ranking officials and nobles.
Su Kui was noisy and had a headache, in this kind of scene, it was the sound of nature, and it also became an appendage of power and money, which was inevitably tainted with vulgarity.
The musicians played the beautiful sound, and the dancers twisted their waists and rotated with the music, the ethereal music, and the beautiful dancing posture. If it were in a quiet small courtyard, then Su Kui would definitely appreciate it, but when these were contaminated with the smell of smoked wine, it was not so enjoyable.
But she couldn't leave, so she had to hang her eyelashes and look at the rising white gas in the cup, and she was determined.
Suddenly, Honglian whispered in her ear, "Princess, let's eat something." ”
"Huh?" Su Kui was startled, raised his slightly sleepy eyes and glanced at the small plate on the table in front of him, and saw the complete hairy crab in the dish not far away, and was stunned, "Where did it come from?" ”
I saw that the small plate in front of me contained the delicious crab meat and golden crab paste that had been carefully selected, and at this time it was exuding an attractive fragrance and attracting people to taste.
Honglian chuckled when she heard this, pointed slightly in the direction where Nan Xuange was, and said, "It's still His Royal Highness Jiu who loves you, knowing that you love to eat these things the most, and you can't bear to fiddle with them, so I personally opened the crab meat and crab paste and ordered someone to send it to you!" It's just that His Royal Highness Nine said, you are not in good health, you can only eat these, and no more! ”
The words couldn't help but carry a little envy, the two obviously have no blood relationship, but they are as close as if they are one person, especially His Royal Highness Jiu's love for the princess, no matter who it is, they will hope to get such a strong feeling.
Su Kui shook his head with a smile, nodded the red lotus and said, "You will help him speak now!" Then I picked up the chopsticks and picked up a little crab paste and put it in my mouth, and it was really fragrant and delicious.
She slowly looked towards the position of Nan Xuange in the men's seat out of the corner of her eye, and at a glance she crashed into the eyes that were like an abyss with no end in sight, where the fog was floating, and it was easy to get lost in it.
Su Kui's eyes flashed, and suddenly an unpredictable sense of familiarity rose in his heart. The feeling came so quickly that she was caught off guard and unprepared.
