Chapter 82: Strange Transformation
Nangong Yueyao and Liu Haoxuan arrived at three o'clock that night! When they arrived, the Hundred Beasts Banquet was going on, and the entire Western Suburbs Palace was brightly lit and lively, and the fiery atmosphere was in full swing!
Yuan Bao, the chief of the inner chamberlain beside the emperor, had sharp eyes, and saw the handsome man in a purple robe walking towards this side, and he was walking with a man in white who was shengxue, these two people were not the crown prince Nangong Yueyao and Liu Haoxuan, who else would they be. Yuanbao's eyes lit up, and he whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, but when he saw that the emperor frowned slightly, he didn't say anything.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that the emperor did not express his position for a long time, Yuan Bao took two steps back, stood respectfully behind the emperor, devoted himself to his duties, lowered his eyebrows, looked at his nose, looked at his heart, pursed his lips and stopped speaking. secretly said in his heart: The emperor is afraid that he is angry with His Royal Highness the Prince......
At this time, it is better for him not to speak, so as not to provoke him.
Liu Fengxi sat beside Mu Juechen, from the beginning of the banquet to the present, except for politely greeting the emperor and queen at the beginning, he has been silent throughout the whole process. Her eyes were cold, and she was bored listening to the emperor and the three sages of Dongling Kingdom and the king of Li, saying some kind words on the scene.
Mu Jiechen would only say one or two inconsequential words when the emperor called him by name, and his whole mind and body were placed on Liu Fengxi.
Liwang seemed to be talking to the emperor, but his eyes kept looking at Liu Fengxi, looking at the beautiful and elegant woman opposite, and there was occasional shallow sadness in her ice-blue eyes.
The first time he was tempted, the woman who made him tempted was already married to him**, even so, knowing the news, he still couldn't suppress the love he had for her in his heart.
Liu Fengxi moved her body almost invisibly, for some reason recently, she was always very easy to get tired, and after sitting for an hour, she felt tired and sleepy. As soon as I wanted to get up, I confessed to the emperor and the queen, and went back to the room to rest first. Unintentionally raised her eyes, and two handsome figures, one white and one purple, walked towards this side, her eyes flashed slightly, and she sat down again, temporarily suppressing the plan to leave first.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" For a while, the voices of the ministers asking for peace came and went.
Nangong Yueyao waved her hand indifferently, signaling them to excuse herself, and walked straight to the emperor and queen, and said in a crystal-like elegant and charming voice: "Erchen has seen the father and the queen!" ”
“……!” The emperor just raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, and didn't say anything.
Nangong Yueyao was not annoyed, just stood there like that, motionless. Seeing this, the queen tried her best to look at the emperor, but the emperor turned a blind eye, the queen was extremely angry, and gave him a fierce look, and when she turned to the prince, there was still a trace of annoyance on her beautiful face, only a gentle and gentle smile like a mother.
The queen said softly: "Yao'er is here, come and sit next to the queen mother!" Patting the empty space on her right hand as she spoke, Nangong Yueyao obediently sat beside her. Yao'er is afraid that she hasn't eaten yet, so she is hungry, so she should eat something to fill her stomach first. As he spoke, he took the clean dishes and chopsticks handed over by the palace maid, scooped a bowl of deer paw soup and handed it to Nangong Yueyao.
"This deer paw soup tastes extremely delicious, and Yao'er is quick to repay it. After drinking the soup later, I will pay for these three fresh deer paws, and the taste is also very good......"
"Thank you!" Nangong Yueyao listened to the queen's gentle and concerned voice, a burst of warmth surged in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a warm smile, took the soup bowl in the queen's hand, and thanked softly in a crystal-like charming voice.
The queen mother's love for him is no less than any biological mother's love for her own children. In my impression, his biological mother's love for him is no different, and even his mother's love and concern for him is greater than that of his biological mother.
Liu Fengxi looked at this scene, a faint light flashed in her eyes, and her heart was slightly moved.
For some reason, looking at the queen's love for the prince and the love from the heart, she couldn't help but think of her mother, the weak but kind woman, the woman who regarded her and her brother as life......! I wonder how she's doing now?
The astringent feeling overflowed in her chest, Liu Fengxi raised her head and took a deep breath, and then spit it out gently, she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and calmed her emotions. Raising his eyes to look at the man in white who was still standing there, he pulled the corners of his lips and said softly: "Brother, I'm tired from a day's journey, let's sit down and eat something." ”
At this time, she didn't endure it because the emperor and queen didn't speak, she was just an ordinary woman who cared about her brother!
Liu Haoxuan's body was shocked, and he raised his eyes to look at the woman who was as elegant as a fairy. Everyone didn't notice him, or deliberately ignored him, only her, who cared about whether he was tired or not, and whether he was hungry.
"Haoxuan, you can sit down and eat! You see, this palace only cares about Yao'er, but forgets you......" The queen seemed to have only discovered Liu Haoxuan's existence now, she raised her head, looked at the handsome man in white, and said apologetically.
"Queen Xie cares!" Liu Haoxuan replied politely and picked an empty seat to sit down.
Nangong Yueyao nodded and smiled at him, and the two made eye contact, the meaning of which was self-evident. When the Three Sages saw this scene, something flashed through their minds, but it was so fast that he couldn't catch anything.
After Liu Haoxuan sat down, the emperor opened the golden mouth. "Why are you two here at this time?" The emperor's words are not light or serious, but the majesty in that tone is impossible to ignore.
Especially the crown prince, how can he be so nonsense? Just because of a woman, I was angry with him like this. No matter what he had done wrong, he could not be angry with him at this time, and let the envoys of the neighboring countries see the joke.
Nangong Yueyao drank the soup elegantly, as if she hadn't heard the emperor's question.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been delayed due to temporary matters, and I ask the emperor not to blame the prince for ......!" Liu Haoxuan's warm voice said, his voice was like a mountain stream with a strange soothing power.
The emperor looked at him inquiringly, and after a long time, he said: "Even you have spoken for him......!" That's it! I won't pursue it this time, but you can hear it clearly if there is no such thing in the future! ”
Liu Haoxuan and Nangong Yueyao responded together.
The corners of Liu Fengxi's lips hooked up a trace of almost invisible ridicule, which flashed and disappeared. After all, the emperor only has one prince, the crown prince, how can he really be angry with him, just because the envoy of Dongling Kingdom is here, he can't get over his face, so he just finds a step down. And his brother's words just gave him a suitable step.
Mu Jiechen generally saw this scene in his eyes, glanced at Nangong Yueyao and Liu Haoxuan lightly, and then turned to Liu Fengxi beside him, his voice was soft, and his eyes were affectionate. "Xi'er, if you're tired, I'll help you go back to rest."
"Hmm......" Before Liu Fengxi's words fell, she suddenly frowned, only to see her face suddenly change in shock, and she got up in a hurry and rushed towards the Three Sages King!
