The thin wine entered his throat, but it added three points of coldness. The thin snow fell lightly, and his dancing posture lingered.
At this moment, the lights were bright and the voices of the people were loud. There were acrobatics and opera troupes. It was very lively. The emperor had arrived with his empress, and the banquet was even more noisy.
Not long after the empress sat down, an envoy came to offer his birthday congratulations. The banquet instantly fell silent as everyone looked at the envoy from the neighboring country in the hall.
Qing Ying also looked in that direction. The leader of the two men was wearing a luxurious black robe with slightly curled black silk. He had a gentle temperament and a smile on his lips. He was polite but not humble, but he could not hide the aura of a king around him.
It was him! Although he was not as cold and unrestrained as before, Qing Ying recognized him with just one glance. He was the Prince of Yu Nation. She looked at him indifferently, her eyes turning even darker.
After the birthday celebration, the envoy and the courtiers enjoyed themselves together. The envoy, the prince of Yu Country, Yu Luo, was arranged to sit diagonally across from Qing Ying's table, and was well received by the Second Prince.
"Hey!" He had already tried his best to ignore it, but the scorching gaze from the other side finally disturbed Qing Ying so much that she could not drink tea in peace. She put down her cup and looked at the person. A trace of light flashed in Yu Luo's eyes. Long Sheng also seemed to have noticed the existence of that gaze. He glanced coldly at Yu Luo, and the surrounding coldness gradually subsided. He turned around and asked," You know him."”His tone wasn't questioning, but rather certain.
"Hmm? I don't know him." His reply was cold and in this noisy atmosphere, there was no trace of enthusiasm.
" Mm." He looked at her for a long time, which proved that she was not hiding anything. His attention returned to the palace hall, but his eyes would occasionally glance in her direction.
Suddenly, Yu Luo stood up and faced the main seat. He politely said," Your Majesty, I heard that the royal family is going to accept two new people this year. Moreover, they are both talented and beautiful.”
"Haha, Ying 'er and Wei' er are both Zhen's favorite wives!”
Hearing this, the Emperor was quite pleased, as if he had forgotten that one of them was the saltless woman of Xi Country. However, all the ministers started discussing how this person without any salt could enter the royal family. Instead, most people were indignant about their daughters not being married.
"Hehe, actually, this little king has heard of the reputation of the two imperial concubines in this country. Can you use this lively occasion to add to the conversation?”
"Oh? What good ideas does the prince have?" The fox's eyes were filled with interest.
"Today is Emperor Xi's birthday, and the entire world should be celebrating. I believe that Your Majesty should have felt the feelings of the people, so would Your Majesty like to see the feelings of your two virtuous daughters-in-law?”
"En, just what I want. Ying 'er, Wei' er, what have you prepared to celebrate my birthday?”As he spoke, he had already asked this question, but his eyes were looking at Qing Ying. His golden eyes sparkled, and he did not understand what he meant. Qing Ying's heart tightened. He knew that the Prince of Yu Nation was trying to make things difficult for her, but the Emperor still came to interfere. It must be that the world said that she had no talent, no virtue, no appearance, and did not even understand human etiquette. He must be here to see her make a fool of herself!
"Emperor, my daughter…" Among the ministers, Ye Wen stood up and bowed to apologize. He didn't expect that the Prime Minister would not have to do this. I have my own decision on this matter.”
" Yes." After saying that, he retreated back to the table, but his eyes were filled with anxiety.
The minister beside him teased," Minister Ye, you don't have to worry too much. In fact, the First Prince's wife is also beautiful! Ah! Haha!"
This person was the Minister of Personnel, Lin Nanfei, Lin Zi's father. Lin Zi had been secretly fond of the Eldest Prince since she was young. Moreover, with the status of the Lin family, it would definitely not be a problem for her to become the Crown Prince's wife. He did not want Qingying to snatch Lin Zi's position. Lin Zi had been causing trouble at home every day. Now that he finally had a chance to vent his anger, how could he let it go?
Ye Wen glanced at him and ignored him. Usually, the two of them were in opposition in the Imperial Court. On this matter, he didn't want to be entangled with him and paid attention to the situation in the palace. Although their relationship was very stiff, his daughter couldn't be bullied by others.
