Unexpectedly, Liu Mingxi came suddenly, Luo Yao was pleasantly surprised, hurriedly packed up the official business in his hand, and got up to greet Liu Mingxi.

"Mingxi, why did you come over like this, and you didn't say a word to your subordinates?" Seeing Liu Mingxi at the door, Luo Yao showed an obvious smile on his face, hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Liu Mingxi's wrist, and took her to the house to sit down.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I'm not here to see you......" Liu Mingxi bit his lower lip and made a look of wanting to say goodbye, trying to seduce the curiosity in Luo Yao's heart.

Sure enough, Luo Yao leaned forward, stared hard at Liu Mingxi's eyes, and sincerely declared his curiosity: "Mingxi, what happened to you?" If you need my help, just say it, and I won't sit idly by. ”

Seeing Liu Mingxi coming in a hurry, combined with the content of the female secret guard's report just now, Luo Yao probably understood what Liu Mingxi was going to say.

Sure enough, after a pause, Liu Mingxi's words were the same as Luo Yao thought: "Your Majesty, Andi...... Come to me. ”

Although he already knew about it, Luo Yao still cooperated with Liu Mingxi and made a surprised expression: "You said Andi? Is it the one in the portrait? ”

"That's right." Liu Mingxi lowered his gaze, and moved his eyes from side to side with some trepidation, drifting a little excessively.

"Not only did he come to me to ask about the portrait, but he also asked me to be careful, he would retaliate against me."

After that, Liu Mingxi directly reached out and grabbed Luo Yao's arm, and then seemed to suddenly remember Luo Yao's identity, and threw away his hand in a little panic: "Your Majesty, An Di knows martial arts, and his mind is unfathomable, I really can't deal with him...... I sat in my room and finally thought of Your Majesty, and came to ask for His Majesty's protection. ”

Regarding Liu Mingxi's request, Luo Yao didn't think much about it at all, so he nodded heavily and responded without hesitation: "No problem, you just move directly to the room next to me, and I will let the dark guards protect you together." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Mingxi nodded with some joy.

Since it was said that it was done, Luo Yao directly ordered his subordinates to pack up Liu Mingxi's salute and move it to the side.

Although Luo Yao wanted to be closer to Liu Mingxi, he preferred to chat with beauties rather than explore further.

Therefore, he and Liu Mingxi became neighbors, but did not act beyond the distance, but chatted with Liu Mingxi until late at night every day, and then ignored Liu Mingxi's eyes and calmly returned to his room to rest.

"Mingxi, I cherish you." He spoke.

Regarding Luo Yao's behavior, although Liu Mingxi couldn't help but spit in his heart, feeling that he was really pretending to be affectionate, he was still faintly moved.

On this day, Liu Mingxi watched Luo Yao leave his room, then stood up expressionlessly, walked to the window and opened the room, and stared sideways at Luo Yao's departure.

Luo Yao seemed to be aware of it, turned around when Liu Mingxi looked at him, looked at her with a smile, and then opened the door with one hand, and raised the other hand and waved it twice.

"It's late, go to sleep." Luo Yao said.

Liu Mingxi also nodded: "Okay, I'll sleep right away." ”

After speaking, Luo Yao flashed into the room, while Liu Mingxi moved his gaze outward, planning to look at it a few more times before going to sleep.

But she suddenly saw a somewhat familiar existence.

She frowned, looked intently at the gray figure, and found that it was a place without disguise.

He stood in the distance, smiling at her in the shadows, his smile as sunny and handsome as ever.

If it was before, seeing his smile, Liu Mingxi would definitely blush and heartbeat, and feel that this young man was the ideal type in her heart.

But now, a line of cold sweat appeared on Liu Mingxi's back.

"Good evening." Anji smiled at her and gestured with his lips.

Liu Mingxi, on the other hand, frowned as a matter of course, his eyebrows full of disdain and disgust.

Seeing Liu Mingxi's expression, An Di gritted his teeth, stepped forward directly, and made a posture to rush forward, wanting to scare Liu Mingxi.

However, as soon as he got closer, a secret guard who was guarding nearby appeared, suddenly appeared at Liu Mingxi's window, and asked her warmly: "Girl, what have you discovered?" ”

After his voice fell, Liu Mingxi subconsciously cast his gaze to the place where An Di was.

Seeing Liu Mingxi turn around, An Di thought that she was going to point out her position, so she took a step back without hesitation and disappeared directly in front of Liu Mingxi's eyes.

Liu Mingxi's eyes widened suddenly, but after seeing An Di completely disappear from view, he swallowed the words in his mouth, and shook his head with a light smile: "No, I just think the moonlight tonight is very beautiful." ”

It seems that Andi really can't do anything but threaten her from a distance.

Liu Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down for the time being, turned around and went back to the room directly, and lay on the bed to rest.

The next day, Luo Yao ushered in a small festival.

Although this festival is not significant, the emperor is now in Jincheng, so he naturally has to make a big deal.

All the officials in Jincheng made preparations a few days in advance, and even invited a few of the best restaurants and good chefs in Jincheng, and everyone studied the dishes together, vowing to prepare a table of dishes full of color and fragrance for Luo Yao.

Therefore, as soon as Luo Yao got up the next day, he was told about it.

"Your Majesty, everyone in Jincheng has prepared today's banquet for you, please go to the banquet after a little preparation." An official came and politely invited Luo Yao.

At that time, Luo Yao was sitting with Liu Mingxi, discussing what to eat in the morning.

Normally, they didn't need to think, because the Liu family's small kitchen had already prepared most of the breakfast, and they didn't need to make a choice at all, and they could eat whatever they wanted.

Today, they got up a little earlier, and they discussed what to eat for breakfast, so that the small kitchen could cook it directly.

But now that they heard about the noon plan, they could eat two bites of breakfast at will, mainly at noon.

After deciding to eat the banquet at noon, Luo Yao and Liu Mingxi discussed it, and ordered a few light side dishes and porridge for breakfast.

Around noon, the officials of Jincheng came again to invite the two of them.

Liu Mingxi put on the gorgeous clothes that Luo Yao had prepared for her, took Luo Yao's arm, and walked into the banquet place together.

From this kind of behavior, it is easy to see Luo Yao's evaluation of these female companions he met in Jincheng.

Like those women who were still staying at the post station, Luo Yao probably didn't care much at all.

And Liu Mingxi, who has been accompanied all the time, and finally went to the banquet as a female companion - must be the most favored.

Luo Yelin and An Juan stood side by side among the guests, and they were a little surprised to see Liu Mingxi and Luo Yao walking in together.

Unexpectedly, Liu Mingxi really won Luo Yao's love and was able to follow him to such a large-scale banquet as a female companion.

Luo Yelin glanced down at An Juan, and seeing that An Juan didn't have any panic and fear expression, he patted her on the shoulder soothingly, and pulled her to Luo Yao together: "I've seen the imperial brother." ”

An Juan also saluted: "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

Luo Yao hurriedly helped the two of them up, and his gaze paused on An Xuan's face for a moment.

In the end, he retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary banquet, everyone doesn't have to be restrained, they should eat and drink, they can say whatever they want, and they don't have to care about my existence." ”

It's just that although he said so, everyone still stood upright, and no one dared to move at will.

The emperor said that there was no need to be nervous, and it was impossible for them to really offend Tianyan.

After standing up, Luo Yelin and An Juan glanced at Liu Mingxi casually, then looked away and introduced the dishes and guests at the banquet seriously.

It's just that in this process, Luo Yao's eyes are always unconsciously attracted by An Juan, and from time to time he will look sideways at An Juan.

He thought he was just glancing at random, but in the eyes of others, his every move was extremely obvious, showing his interest and concern for An Xuan openly.

Liu Mingxi also clearly understands this.

Her face turned a little pale, but then she calmed down again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's sit down and eat," she said, making a weak appearance, and coughing lightly twice: "The little girl is also a little tired." ”

Although Luo Yao has always liked An Xuan's appearance, since he has made a choice, he forced himself to withdraw his gaze and fall on Liu Mingxi beside him instead.

"Mingxi didn't eat much for breakfast...... he said to Luo Yelin a little apologetically: "Let's sit down first, eat some food and then talk about anything else." ”

Regarding Luo Yao's request, no one present dared to refute it.

So they deleted all the politeness and speeches before the banquet, Luo Yao said a few words casually, and everyone sat down on the seats, and raised a glass together to wish His Majesty good health and a long life.

Then, it was time to eat.

Luo Yelin, as the prince of Ye, sat with Luo Yao as a matter of course.

And An Juan and Liu Mingxi are also the female companions of the two, sitting obediently on the side.

After all, today is a relatively important day, no matter how simple and casual An Juan dresses on weekdays, she has to wear the long skirt specially selected for her by Luo Yelin at this banquet, and appear in front of everyone in a posture that will not be revealed in the past.

Fortunately, although An Juan was busy cooking and cleaning up the table, her skin was actually still tender, and her posture was elegant enough to fully support the aura of her skirt.

Liu Mingxi stretched out his hand to hold the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks, eating absentmindedly, but his eyes unconsciously drifted in the direction of An Juan.

The skirt she wore was specially purchased for her by Luo Yao, and it looked much better than An Juan's, but when she really wore it, everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on An Juan.

It is said that people rely on clothes, but if the person himself is too good-looking, then the clothes are just an embellishment.
