Chapter 158 Birthday Banquet
When night fell, the whole palace was decorated with lanterns and festive. Lian Yue followed her sister into the hall and felt a cool air coming, dispelling the summer heat.
The whole hall is magnificent and can accommodate hundreds of people in it. At this time, the hall is covered with thick red and gold-rimmed carpets, and the beams are hung with various colors of colored silk. The twelve round pillars are carved with dragons and tigers. The blue bird flying cloud pattern is lifelike and vivid. In the middle of the hall, there are two dragon chairs sitting by the emperor. There are two men in yellow robes sitting in one middle school, and there are two slightly smaller red chairs next to them. They sit the empress dowager and the queen respectively. There are three empty seats on the queen's side, and then the concubines are arranged according to their respective concubine positions.
On the side of the empress dowager, Qiao Ke still snarled beside the empress dowager and waved his little hand at himself. Lian Yue also waved to him, and then his eyes were attracted by a man in black. He sat with his eldest brother, second brother, Yuwen Lingxi (Xiao) and Qiao Zhi. Coupled with his familiar eyes and cold temperament, even if Lian Yue's reaction was slow, she knew who he was. Sitting among several good-looking people, it is a little inconspicuous at first glance, but if you look at it again, you will be attracted to him.
This person is Yuwen Lingxi, who has a dark identity. The appearance shown at this time is naturally the appearance after taking Yan Dan. Although this appearance is not as handsome as before, it is very in line with Yuwen Lingxi's current identity. He is still very satisfied.
Especially the surprise blooming in Lian Yue's eyes made him feel much better, and the corners of his mouth bent without scruples.
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of many people. Only a few people who knew knew that Lian Yue was looking at the dark, while others may just think that Lian Yue was greeting those people.
Qiao Zhi saw that Lian Yue's eyes did not notice him at all. At the same time, he was a little hostile to look at the dark, and then turned to Yuwen Lingxi (Xiao), who seemed not to see the interaction between Lian Yue and the dark. The idea of retreating and waiting silently for a while also wavered a little.
Then he quickly put it away and looked up at his father. Sure enough, he found him.
Sitting on the dragon chair on the upper seat, the elder is naturally the emperor Qiao Run of the Nishang Empire, the protagonist of today's birthday banquet. Compared with the empress dowager on his side, he is obviously more like an old man who is nearly 60 years old, with trenches on his face and a pair of already drooping eyes.
But no one questioned the wisdom and shrewdness under these turbid eyes. Lian Yue withdrew her eyes and leaned behind the elder sister at the reminder of the elder sister.
A slightly old voice sounded in the hall, "Who is the little moon of the Yue family? Come to me."
Lian Yue was a little puzzled. She looked up at the eldest sister. She didn't miss the surprise that flashed in her eldest sister's eyes. After being surprised, she nodded to herself.
Lian Yue had to take a few steps and stop at the same place.
I thought such a distance was enough, but the old voice obviously didn't want to let her go, "Come to me."
And the empress dowager also waved to Lianyue and said kindly, "Wen'er, come to Ai's house."
Lian Yue felt the dense eyes gathered on her body in the hall. There were so many people in the hall. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager only had blue eyes on themselves. It seemed that many people were going to taste it again.
For these, Lian Yue didn't pay much attention to this. She stood in front of the empress dowager and the emperor generously, and asked neither humble nor arrogant, "Is this distance enough?"
"She doesn't look like her, but her temperament is really similar!"
Only then did Lian Yue realize that the intersection between the Yue family and the Empress Dowager is probably his grandmother, so he naturally refers to his grandmother in the mouth of the Empress Dowager.
Lian Yue raised her eyebrows without hesitation and said crisply, "Since Yue'er was a child, Xiao's mother."
George's moist eyes had a moment of clarity. He looked at the woman standing in front of him with a wrinkled face and said lukewarmly, "Jier, you can talk about you in front of me. Now at first sight, he is really skillful and refuses to brag about losses.
"Thank you for your praise." After saying that, in the clouds, the jump is too fast. Lian Yue almost can't keep up with his rhythm. Maybe it's the same for those who are old. If it's normal, she will be very obedient to echo a few words, but now hundreds of pairs of eyes are looking at it. She is really not used to this. She just wants to do it as soon as possible. The end of this conversation.
And Lian Yue's thoughts can't be hidden from Qiao Run, who is sitting in the throne of the emperor. His turbid eyes glanced at the stage and said lightly, "What do you think of the sixth prince Qiao Zhi?"
Lian Yue was a little stunned after listening to his question. Which one is this? Can it be more outrageous? It was not just Lian Yue who was stunned. Qiao Zhi under the stage was stunned for a moment and panicked. He was about to get up but was directly stopped by his father's eyes.
Lian Yue looked at the action between the two suspiciously and guessed that Qiao Zhi must have said something to the old man. If you are not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.
Lian Yue said with a serious face, "Do you really want me to say it?"
"Yes," Qiao Run didn't expect that Lian Yue would ask back.
"Do you really want me to say it in front of so many people?" The bedding must be done well.
This question aroused Qiao Run's curiosity. His son's thoughts were very clear this afternoon. He really wanted to know his excellent son's evaluation in Lian Yue's heart, and said firmly, "Yes, just say it here?"
Lian Yue looked ugly to Qiao Zhi, "This is what the emperor asked me to say."
Qiao Zhi suddenly had a bad hunch. He instinctived to stop it, but it was obviously too late. Lian Yue's crisp voice had sounded in the hall.
"The six princes are beautiful and beautiful," Qiao Zhi's face turned green after this sentence alone, and some people in the hall were stunned, while some people forced to hold back their smiles.
"No, those two words should be romantic, unrestrained and handsome, and warm-hearted and loyal," Qiao Zhi's face is slightly better. Yes, this evaluation is more realistic.
"However, it's just a little bit smart, a little narcissistic, and a little bit shameless." Lianyue was very satisfied with the change in Qiao Zhi's face. At the same time, she also saw the smile in her dark eyes. Suddenly, she felt that it was a little difficult to praise another man or belittle a man in front of the man she liked. There were a lot of words. After saying it, there was only the last sentence left, "That's it."
Then he looked at the emperor with a smile and a beard and said, "You asked me to say it."
"That's right. It seems that you two already know each other very well."
"Let's be careless." Lian Yue saw that Qiao Run was still endless, and her tone began to be perfunctory. "If nothing happens, Yue'er will go back and sit down."
After saying that, without waiting for Qiao Run's words, he was reincarnate and walked in the direction of the eldest sister Lianyu.
"How about marrying my son?" A word of thunder on the ground not only stopped the steps under Lianyue's feet, but also made a moment of silence in the hall.
Only then did Lian Yue understand what was going on. After turning around, she stared at Qiao Zhi, who was also stunned, and said to the man on the dragon chair word by word: "Is the emperor old? Everyone in the world knows that Lian Yue has a marriage contract. If you put it up like this, I don't know whether you look down on my Yue family or look down on me. The Yuwen family with a marriage contract.
At this moment, Lian Yue can only temporarily move out this marriage contract that she doesn't like. Uncle Zhou said such a thing. Lian Yue respects him as an elder and can laugh it off. After all, everyone will only take it as a joke.
But when this man said it, Lian Yue was only annoyed, especially in front of so many people. Does he really think that I, Yue Lianyue, will marry whoever he wants me to marry?
Qiao Yi, who has always been worried, will naturally not support his father's proposal. Compared with his half-brother, he prefers Qiao Ke to take his place. There is no silence now.
"Father is joking with you. Miss Yue, don't take it seriously."
