Everyone's eyes were focused on the two imperial concubines. Most of them had a playful look in their eyes. They were all here to watch the show.
Qing Ying looked at Xiao Wei and Xiao Wei nodded slightly. At the same time, she stood up and bowed to the Emperor. There was no panic on her face as she replied in unison,"Qing Ying (Wei Er) offers a small gift to congratulate Father. I hope Father will live forever!”He was calm and composed, but in the Emperor's eyes, he was a bright light.
At the same time, two waitresses came in from outside the hall with trays in their hands and presented the items.
The servant next to the Emperor took it and handed it to the Emperor. That huge scroll required two people to lift. The emperor had someone open the painting, and suddenly, Emperor Xi's eyes shone with a golden light. She looked at Qing Ying with a complicated gaze, and there was even admiration in her eyes. She was instantly overjoyed.
The people below looked at Emperor Xi's face, unable to hide their excitement. They were very interested in the painting. Some bold officials craned their necks to see what was going on, but they did not dare to be too impudent. They all quietly waited for the Emperor's explanation.
"Is Imperial Father satisfied with this small gift?”Qing Ying asked this question, which was obviously unnecessary. However, his tone was serious, and his eyes were filled with a turbulent feeling that only the two of them knew.
The Emperor returned a knowing look." I like Ying 'er and Wei' er's gifts very much! Haha! What a good daughter-in-law!" As he spoke, he stroked his already small beard. Everyone in the hall looked at the Emperor in confusion, but they could not see anything. They then turned their eyes to the Long brothers and the royal consort's family, hoping to see something, but they were equally curious. The First Prince continued to drink lightly. Only he himself knew that the thing that had just risen in his heart was called worry. Although it was fleeting, hmph, he, Long Sheng, disdained this kind of thing.
Qing Ying took in everyone's expressions. Yu Luo looked at her with deep meaning in his eyes. The Emperor's excitement, Ye Wen's unfettered release, Lin Nanfei's eating turtle. Her lips parted slightly, and the mockery in her eyes flashed. How many people in the world could truly care for her? Besides, they've already left
"Good things should be treasured!" The Emperor waved his sleeve and ordered someone to put the painting into the royal study. His eyes, which were as bright as Long Sheng's, were filled with excitement for a long time. He was in high spirits.
The Emperor kept his mouth shut and did not talk about the things he had just received. Everyone also tactfully left. The banquet continued, but the pair of narrow lights in the corner became gloomier.
Long Ye pulled Xiao Wei, who had returned to her seat, to inquire about some secrets. However, Xiao Wei smiled at him. She was so beautiful that she could topple a country. He was stunned and forgot his original intention. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had fallen into a honey trap. The more mysterious he was, the more interested he became. In the end, he brushed past that person.
The night was already deep, and there was only a little orange light in the darkness. It was a side room, and a sharp female voice came from inside." Are you all good-for-nothings? I failed again."
"Miss, this subordinate deserves to die. There's really something strange about that Qinyue Palace!”A low male voice trembled.
"Oh? What was strange? If you can't even get rid of a woman, what's the use of raising you?”
"Miss, it seems that other than the main entrance, there is no other way to enter the Qinyue Palace. The previous two times, his subordinates had climbed in from the side, but they were trapped by the bamboo forest and could not get out no matter what. This time, when she entered the back hall, she suddenly lost consciousness. When she woke up, she found herself in the imperial garden. Fortunately, no one found her.”
"Oh…! I didn't expect that ugly freak to have a trick up her sleeve!”
"Miss, there seems to be another group of people besides us!”
"Is that so? He really knew how to cause trouble? Wasn't it? Haha!" A shrill voice rose high up in the air, and he laughed proudly.
"Then we just have to wait and reap the benefits! Alright, you may leave!" He deliberately suppressed his joy from his words, and the bleak wind blew from time to time outside, making the night extremely strange.
"Yes, sir."
There was only silence, and the last light had gone out.
