Chapter 40: The Family Feast
"Haha, brother Huang, you are finally willing to take the princess out of the palace, and you think you want to hide it for the rest of your life." Seeing that the two of them were finally late, the emperor laughed.
Shangguan Ye hugged the person in his arms tightly and said seriously, "If you can, my brother really wants to hide him forever for the rest of his life." β
That serious tone made Murong Qiufeng slightly stunned, and his eyebrows wrinkled subconsciously.
But the others don't know what happened between them, so naturally they don't feel weird.
"Hehe, it seems that Yun'er is living happily, then I, as an aunt, can rest assured, Yun'er, come, talk to my aunt." The queen looked relieved next to her and said kindly.
Shangguan Ye was unmoved, and said without a smile, "Imperial sister-in-law, the princess's voice is a little uncomfortable, it is not appropriate to talk more, let's talk about the old days another day." β
"Haha, it seems that the emperor's brother has been really short in the past three days, but it should be appropriate, know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, don't be tired of the princess, I see that the princess is not in good spirits, but the royal brother should take care of it." The emperor raised his eyebrows ambiguously, and looked at Murong Qiufeng, who had been lowering his eyes and not speaking, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and it seemed that he did look a little weak.
He has also seen Murong Qiuyun many times, but none of them have been so tempting as seeing him today, calm and peaceful, pale face, tired look, elegant dress, it looks more delicate and beautiful, elegant and natural seductive style, and the lively and willful appearance before is really a little different, as if he has grown up a lot overnight.
This couldn't help but make the emperor feel a little itchy and regretful, but at this moment, Murong Qiufeng, who had not had a chance to watch it seriously at the palace banquet that day, suddenly appeared in his mind, and felt that the two were surprisingly similar, not only in appearance, but also in temperament.
As soon as he thought of Murong Qiufeng, the emperor's mood couldn't help but have a little more gloom, remembering Shangguan Ye's share of the twists and turns, and putting Murong Qiufeng under his command, Murong Qiuyun was occupied, and Murong Qiufeng was also occupied, which inevitably made him feel a little unbalanced, but for Shangguan Ye, he still needed to rely on him at this moment, but he couldn't refuse his request.
Murong Qiufeng naturally knew the meaning of their conversation, and couldn't help but turn red on his fair neck, and a touch of shame rose in his eyes, but he could only grit his teeth and say nothing, since Shangguan Ye had made an excuse for him, he simply went willful once and didn't plan to speak.
However, they didn't stay long, chatted a few words, and Shangguan Ye once again excused the princess to rest and left with Murong Qiufeng.
It's just that he really wanted Murong Qiufeng to go back to the palace to rest, and the tossing during the day was enough to make him tired, not to mention that he had to have a family banquet at night.
Maybe it was because of what Shangguan Ye said before, Murong Qiufeng seemed to be deliberately avoiding him and letting him rest, and he also closed his eyes to rest obediently.
Shangguan Ye sighed, walked outside the hall, turned his head to look inside the hall, and suddenly took out the black jade Xiao, put it to his lips, and played it gently, and a gentle and soothing song sounded.
Murong Qiufeng inside heard Xiao Sheng, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't open them, but his lips tightened a little, his eyebrows wrinkled, and his eyelashes continued to tremble until he really fell asleep peacefully.
At the end of the song, Shangguan Ye turned around, slightly distracted, his eyes narrowed slightly, full of emotions, thinking back to the bits and pieces of getting along with Murong Qiufeng and the structure of the future, unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes were so soft that he could drown, and he didn't realize that his expression at the moment was so gentle and ...... Silly.
A plop sounded.
Shangguan Ye frowned slightly, his expression changed instantly, if it was said that it was the spring flowers blooming in March just now, then now it is cold.
"Poison."
"Master forgiveness." Yuxiang hurriedly knelt down, she was really frightened by the expression on her master's face just now, so she lost her mind for a moment and did such a rude thing. But compared to this, she still didn't forget the shocking scene, it was even more terrifying than killing her, incredible, was that really their pavilion master, that kind of expression would appear on the face of the ruthless Shura's Heavenly Killing Pavilion Master.
After following the pavilion master for ten years, she never thought that her master was also a person with feelings.
Originally, I thought that the pavilion master was interested in that man, but it was the same as before, at most it was more fun than those people before, but now it seems that it may not be, what I see today has completely subverted her seriousness.
The careful escort, the look of pity, and the care and care for him with his own hands, the movements are so careful, and the expression is so soft, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.
"Poison, today's matter will be revealed, but only this time, take care of yourself, if you make another claim, you should know the consequences." Shangguan Ye's voice was a little low, but it was different from the usual low, but with a hint of murderous aura.
Youxiang's body trembled slightly, feeling a chill in her neck, and her expression was serious, "Yes." β
Proper rest still has a certain effect, at least at night, Murong Qiufeng was woken up, his spirit looked much better than before, and his face was a little more bloody.
Shangguan Ye was stuck and told him to get up, so when the two of them arrived, the people inside had been waiting for a long time.
The so-called family banquet is actually just a banquet for the people of the royal family, in addition to the emperor and Shangguan Ye, there are some princes, princesses and concubines, as well as the concubines' own family members.
Three women in one play, so the banquet hall was very lively, so that Shangguan Ye and they did not come coldly, but even more lively, especially those concubines, many of them showed their best to pull the relationship.
Some are for themselves, some are for their children, some are for their families, most of those who bring their own relatives are women, the princess is occupied, but there is also the position of the side concubine, even if it can't be a concubine, being the concubine of King Ye is also a big climb.
Murong Qiufeng has always had a faint expression, and she is no longer active as usual, which makes some women think that she and King Ye have something wrong or are left out in the cold, and they are even more hardworking.
Shangguan Ye really didn't stick to Murong Qiufeng like a conjoined baby like he did during the day, it wasn't that he was playing any tricks, it was just that it was rare that Murong Qiufeng was in better spirits, and he didn't want to make him feel bad for the time being.
In his spare time, he also kept seriously dealing with those warblers and Yanyan, mainly to see Murong Qiufeng's reaction, although he knew that this was a bit naΓ―ve, but he just couldn't help but want to see it, but it made him regret that Murong Qiufeng was faint from beginning to end, with a detached and seemingly friendly smile hooked at the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't care about anything, and he was only watching everything.
But how did he know how bad Murong Qiufeng's mood was at the moment, how bored he was, Shangguan Ye's sudden cold attitude made him feel very depressed all the time, and now, it made him feel even more bored and irritable.
