Chapter 118 There is no good banquet
"That's beautiful!" The smile was very strong, and he turned around by the way.
The light veil is diffused, as beautiful as a fairy. The smile in his eyes is as eye-catching as Zhuo Yao's gems.
"Beautiful, very beautiful." Ling Chen stared straight at her. She was really beautiful. She felt very uncomfortable just because her beauty would be peeped by many people. He didn't forget that many people were interested in her. This woman is still very good at making trouble for herself.
"Let's go!" Ling Chen took her hand and said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Sikongwu's face turned a little red. He looked at him holding his hand, but did not say anything to let him leave under the public eye.
As soon as he got on the carriage, he was held in his arms, "Hey! You..." are about to leave.
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while!" He patted her back with a sigh.
This warm moment is always very short, and it will be in front of the palace in a short time.
The red wall is rich but unfathomable. Many people dream of going into the place, but she doesn't have a good impression on it. For her, this is a cage. Looking at the man around her, because he is willing to stay here, the persistence in the past seems to be insignificant.
"I've met King Chen, Princess Chen." The guards guarded the door and looked changed when they came.
"Wing up!" Ling Chen said coldly without any other expression on his face. What exudes from him is the arrogant temperament of the world, and a look can make people look suddenly change and frightened.
The two hands are always held tightly, one is as beautiful as a fairy, the other is handsome and detached, and it is a good match to walk together.
Today's banquet is by the lotus pool in the imperial garden, looking at the blooming flowers along the way, red, green, yellow, all kinds of beauty, not inferior.
Looking from afar, the lights were dim, and the bright red lanterns illuminated the night like day.
In addition to the royal members, those officials above the second grade and their families are among the invited. By this time, they have almost arrived. Everyone is dressed brightly, especially the women who are dressed up to attend, which is a bit like a modern banquet. Attending banquets has the meaning of comparing and showing off each other. The jewels are a little eye-catching. It seems that people in any period have such behavior to show themselves!
The coming of King Chen and Princess Chen have focused all their attention on them. What is the hottest topic recently? Of course, does King Chen like men or women? Princess Chen was pitifully made into a fog. What is the ultimate purpose of taking a concubine?
In a word, everyone's expression is very different, but he has sympathy for his boss Kongwu, which makes Sikongwu very stunned. Shouldn't he despise himself or some other expression? How could it be such a sympathetic expression!
Gossip returns to gossip, and many officials come to flatter and worship.
Ling Chen was not surprised and didn't say much about this. He nodded politely but was still cold and arrogant, and the faint smile on his face was also distant.
"Have you noticed that everyone's expressions are strange, and it's even more strange to look at my expression." Finally, I couldn't stand someone secretly looking at her eyes and pushed Ling Chen beside him to ask him if he had the same feeling.
In fact, he doesn't have this feeling. Many people secretly look at him, which is a very abnormal phenomenon. In the past, they would never look at him so presumptuously, and the awkward feeling in their eyes was very wrong, but they couldn't tell where something was wrong. He looked up and glanced at them, full of warnings.
As soon as Ling Chen looked up, those people quickly lowered their heads. Although they were curious that King Chen liked men and couldn't help looking at this outstanding and seemingly loving couple. In the past, everyone would definitely feel that they were very affectionate. Since someone met King Chen in Huamanlou and took care of a man gently, they didn't feel so. Love is just a cover for everyone, and its real purpose is to cover up your unknown gender orientation. However, the most pitiful thing is Sikong Dance as a princess. The beauty with such a logo also looks very suitable for King Chen. Unexpectedly, it is just a fog that misleads everyone. It's a pity...
Next, Mr. and Mrs. Yu and the single Ling Qi also came over. They sat down in their own position. Coincidentally, one was opposite her and the other was diagonally opposite. I don't know which genius arranged the seat.
I felt a strong sense of gaze Sikongwu turned his head to look at the watery eyes. It was her - Qi Yan. Seeing her over, she nodded. I don't know why Si Kongwu always felt that today's Qi Yan was different from what she saw last time. Just now, she seemed to see jealousy in her eyes. Although she quickly covered it up, she still saw it by her. Why? And another person Ling Yan waved her little hand to say hello. She was still so lively. I really hope she can always stay so happy.
Looking back and happened to look at Ling Qi, Si Kongwu nodded to him with a smile, but he looked at her with worry and looked at Ling Chen beside her with dissatisfaction and anger. Why was it so strange? Sikongwu's eyes changed and he felt the pain of his hand and turned his head to look at her coldly.
"Looking at other men next to me, looking for you to death." Such a sentence came out in a low voice.
It turned out to be jealous.
Sikongwu smiled and said, "It turns out that the prince is jealous!"
"I'm just jealous. Don't look at him." He admitted generously and threatened to squeeze her hand.
"Wow! I'm so scared!" Sikongwu pretended to be scared. Why is this man so possessive? Isn't it just a glance at other men? What's so great.
Ling Chen raised his eyebrows, but smiled.
Others looked at their interaction but couldn't hear what they said. They just imagined it with their expressions. It is estimated that King Chen warned the princess that the princess was afraid. In addition to the previous rumors, everyone confirmed the authenticity of the rumors.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi has arrived." The eunuch's announcement suddenly sounded.
Everyone quickly kowtowed: "See the emperor, see concubine Qi."
"Cough! Let's get up! Well..." The emperor sat on the dragon chair with the help of Concubine Qi.
I had heard that the emperor's dragon body was not safe for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so serious in just a few days. Sikongwu looked over it. The emperor's face was pale and unnatural. I couldn't help but wonder that he was obviously very energetic last time. Moreover, this kind of banquet is normally accompanied by the emperor by the queen, but today it is Concubine Qi. It seems that Concubine Qi is now being favored!
"Where is Princess Chen?" The emperor looked down with a sick look and said.
I came for her from the beginning, and it was really a good banquet! Sikongwu sneered, then got up and saluted respectfully, "My concubine is here."
"Well, a few days ago, the king of Chen gave up his concubine, which was really disappointing. Since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines, and ordinary people are so much less the prince! It is said that the princess is jealous of other women, but I don't believe it. How can Princess Chen be so small?" He paused and looked at Sikongwu and then said, "But I won't pursue the concubine after the matter has been dealt with, but how can the prince have only one concubine! The sister of Concubine Qi is dignified and beautiful, gentle and charming. She is a good wife. No matter her background or character, she matches the emperor's son. Therefore, I gave Qi Yan, the sister of Concubine Qi to King Chen as a side concubine. I don't think the princess will object!" The emperor said something else.
The smile on Sikongwu's face was even colder. If she objected, it meant that Ling Chen's concubine was caused by her jealousy. At the beginning, he said that he believed that she was not a jealous woman to wear a high hat for her. If she objected Qi Yan's entry at this time, it would be equivalent to slap on the emperor. What a smart trick! It turns out that Qi Yan hasn't married yet because it has been decided a long time ago! Today is really for her!
"Oh! Yan'er hasn't come out yet. Si Kongwu was busy shouting before Qi Fei answered.
No wonder Qi Yan had such a look at herself just now. It turned out that her heart secretly promised Ling Chen, which is no wonder.
When Qi Yan was getting up to thank her, she heard the familiar voice say, "I don't agree." Her heart tightened, and it was very painful. Looking at the familiar back, she knelt beside the woman and held the woman's hand firmly and said to the emperor: I don't want to. Why, why... Qi Yan's tears flowed, and the man she loved did not want to marry her. On such an occasion, she embarrassed herself. The hatred in her eyes was both for the man and the woman. How can she wait so hard, why can't she get what she wants? It's all Sikongwu. Without her appearance, I wouldn't have such an embarrassing time. I looked at my sister and nodded. Then he stepped forward and knelt down at an unstable pace. This weak look is really lovely!
"Thank you for giving me the marriage, but if the King of Chen doesn't want to marry me, I don't want to force it." As she spoke, she burst into tears, which made everyone sympathize with her.
Sikongwu sneered and really couldn't underestimate her.
Ling Chen's eyes flashed quickly, but he still said firmly to the emperor, "Father, I think I have told you everything I want to say. Don't ask Wuer. I don't want to marry a side concubine."
"You..." If it hadn't been for the rumors that he liked men and the request of Concubine Qi, he would not have been willing to care about this matter, but since he was in charge, he would not suddenly repent. How could the emperor easily take back what he said?
"Princess, say that." Seeing that Ling Chen did not let go, the biggest problem was still asked Sikongwu.
How could Sikong Dance not know? She had a frightened expression: "Your Majesty, how can the prince's affairs be decided by the concubine? The prince is in charge of a woman." In reply, she was weak, as if she were really a little woman who kept her own place.
Who can't pretend to be weak!
