Nangong Ling was about to speak when a commotion came from the front. An older eunuch walked out, cleared his throat, and shouted at His Highness and the others,""The emperor has arrived, the empress has arrived.”
Following that, the Emperor, who was dressed in a golden dragon robe, walked out with a dignified expression. Behind him was Empress Zhao, who was dressed in a red phoenix robe with golden threads.
Everyone got up and knelt down, shouting," Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress!”
Mu Qingyi knelt down with the others, but Nangong Mo sat on his seat with a confused look on his face and did not move at all.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyi could not help but tug at Nangong Mo's sleeve and said softly,""Your Highness, quickly kneel down."
"Fifth Brother, quickly kneel down and salute." Nangong Ling also looked at Nangong Mo and said. At this moment, Nangong Ling looked a little anxious.
Previously, he had brought his fifth brother to meet his father alone. Naturally, he did not have to follow these etiquette with his father's permission. However, now that he was in front of the princes and officials, these etiquette had to be followed.
"Why should I kneel?" Nangong Mo looked at Mu Qingyi in confusion, then at Nangong Ling. He rubbed his belly and said to Emperor Nangong Qi,""Father, I'm hungry."
Originally, it was already eye-catching for Nangong Mo to not kneel down. However, after Nangong Mo shouted like a child asking for food from his parents, the entire celebration hall instantly fell silent.
Following that, the shoulders of many of the people who were still kneeling in the hall began to tremble. It was likely that they were having a hard time holding back their laughter.
A trace of awkwardness flashed across Emperor Nangong Qi's face, but there was also a trace of pity and sadness in his eyes. If not for the accident five years ago, this son would be his greatest hope.
But now, sigh!
" Please forgive me, Imperial Father. Fifth Brother doesn't understand." Nangong Ling did not expect Nangong Mo to say such a thing. He could not help but quickly raise his head to beg for forgiveness from Nangong Qi.
However, Nangong Qi only raised his hand to signal Nangong Ling to stop talking. He then sighed and frowned at the officials who were trying to hold back their laughter. He said in a dignified manner,""Everyone, please rise."
"Thank you, my emperor."
The kneeling people stood up one after another after thanking the Emperor. Then, with the Emperor's approval, they sat back in their seats. But now that they raised their heads, everyone had an even harder time holding back their laughter.
At this moment, no one noticed that the Crown Prince, who was dressed in a python robe, was currently exchanging a glance with the Empress, who was sitting in a high position. There was also a trace of disdain and pride in their eyes.
Then, the Emperor gave the order, and the palace banquet began. Singing and dancing were peaceful, and a group of beautiful palace maids in pink palace clothes carried wine and dishes into the palace.
Seeing that there was food, Nangong Mo didn't start eating immediately. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and gave Mu Qingyi a chicken drumstick. He smiled foolishly and said,""Qing Yi, hurry up and eat. The drumsticks are delicious.”
"Thank you!" Mu Qingyi smiled and thanked Nangong Mo. She was slightly moved by Nangong Mo's actions.
"Qing Yi, hurry up and eat." Nangong Mo urged as he stared at Mu Qingyi.
At this time, the few princes who were closer to them cast their eyes on Mu Qingyi, thinking that even a fool knew how to curry favor with a beauty.
Mu Qingyi could feel everyone's gazes, but she did not want to pay attention to them. She only opened her mouth and bit the drumstick in the bowl according to Nangong Mo's wishes.
Nangong Mo smiled foolishly when he saw Mu Qingyi eating. He then started to eat the food on the table. He did not care if others would look at him strangely. He just did not know anything about it.
At this moment, Mu Qingyi felt a different gaze on her. She frowned slightly and looked in that direction. She saw Xuan Prince Nangong Ye and Crown Prince Nangong Jin sitting there.
Nangong Ye was drinking quietly in his seat. He seemed to have sensed Mu Qingyi's gaze, so he raised his head and looked in her direction. Their eyes met, but in the next moment, Nangong Ye lowered his head and drank alone. It was as if everything around him had nothing to do with him except for the wine in his hand.
Mu Qingyi frowned and looked at the Crown Prince, Nangong Jin. However, the Crown Prince was talking to the prince beside him and did not seem to notice them.
Retracting her gaze, Mu Qingyi slowly ate the food in front of her as she pondered.
Her clear feeling just now could not be wrong. Then who was it just now?# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:39PM
