Counterattack on the palace: the daughter is very happy

Chapter 87

Maybe she wasn't ready, Xia Yunran didn't know it herself, but her heart sank suddenly. If Song Mutian really expressed his interest in her in public, and even asked to decide on the marriage on the spot, she had the right to refuse and position?

She looked at the dress on her body, and suddenly had the urge to tear it into pieces.

"The fifth princess, the sixth princess is here—"

"The fourth prince arrived—"

"The third prince arrived—"

"The emperor is here, the imperial concubine is here—"

A series of singing promises attracted everyone's attention, and there were many people walking towards the side with the brightest lights. The first ones were undoubtedly the emperor and Concubine Lan, both of whom were smiling, and the emperor held Concubine Lan's hand , the appearance of a deeply affectionate husband and wife.

The emperor is in his 40s this year, although he looks good, but he looks a little old. At this age, his hair is already gray. I think he is busy with state affairs, too tired, so he will age quickly.

As for Concubine Lan, the women in the harem are all well-maintained, especially those who are so powerful. I heard that they should be around forty, but she looks like a beautiful woman in her early thirties, with a dignified and generous temperament. , a begonia red palace dress wraps her figure, but her figure can be seen to be graceful, not at all like someone who has given birth to a child.

Under everyone's greetings and focused eyes, the emperor and Concubine Lan took the chair, and the people who were wandering around just now also took their seats one by one.

"...You don't need to be formal, it's just an ordinary family banquet for our royal family." The emperor said the opening remarks, his voice was loud and full of air, which didn't match his old appearance, and his words were concise and to the point , "Just have fun."

As the protagonist of this family banquet, Concubine Lan Gui didn't even speak, she just smiled and remained silent, looking very friendly.

As a result, the banquet kicked off in a peaceful and joyful atmosphere. At the beginning of the stage, a group of Hu women performed a Hu dance. The dishes were served one by one. He answered with no answer.

"In a while, you will go up with me to toast with the imperial concubine. This is the rule. Everyone has to toast. Dongpo meat is so greasy, how do you eat it?" Song Yuerong said while watching Xia Yunran gorging on the meat He said, "Father also said that he wanted to meet you."

"Your majesty? See me?" Xia Yunran felt surprised. How did she attract the emperor's attention?
"Well, last time in Penglaiju, you spoke for the elder brother, didn't I tell the father?" Song Yuerong said happily, "And, if the third brother really chooses you... you should show your face first Alright, don't refuse, toast to Concubine Lan, it's a rule."

Since it is a rule, Xia Yunran naturally has no room to contend. He wiped his mouth and nodded without saying anything else. The things that should be faced will be faced sooner or later. Anyway, now that people are here, soldiers will come to block the water. Cover it up.

While thinking, he raised his eyes to look at Song Mutian, who was a little beside the chairman, and happened to meet his gaze.

The four eyes met, Song Mutian raised a faint smile, raised the wine glass in his hand, paused slightly, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Xia Yunran spent a moment hesitating whether to avoid his eyes or confront him, and then chose the latter in an instant, thinking not to show weakness, and the last time he played with all his heart in the grove of Jieyuan Temple Play, can't just be wasted like this.

So, Xia Yunran didn't bow her head or blink, but smiled, then raised the cup in her hand, signaled to Song Mutian, gritted her teeth and drank it down.

Oh, this wine is really bad.

"Yunran, why did you drink so much wine? This wine...has a lot of stamina." Song Yuerong said in a surprised voice, "This cup...do you know how to drink?"

"Ah? Really?" Xia Yunran held his burning throat, "But, I've already drank it, you have to protect me later."

"Of course, protecting weak women is my favorite thing to do, don't worry." Song Yuerong said energetically, and quickly changed the subject, "Come on, let's toast now, use this kind of wine that is relatively light That's it."

Fortunately, apart from a bad throat, there is nothing abnormal. Xia Yunran nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Song Yuerong to the chairman.

In terms of mood, I'm actually a little nervous. After all, it's the emperor, the supreme authority over so many common people. Although it is said that all people are equal, the aura of those in power is different from others. Can hold the place.Anyway, Xia Yunran only felt that when he was in front of the emperor, he seemed to shrink a lot.

At this time, there were quite a few people queuing up to toast, but Song Yuerong had never taken the usual path, and she was probably very used to jumping in the queue, and no one dared to say anything when she jumped in the queue, and she had to make way for her with a smile, so Xia Yunran and her He went straight through the crowd and squeezed to the front.

"Father, Concubine Lanmu, Xiaoqi is here to toast." Song Yuerong was as lively and cute as ever, with a smile on her face. After a few simple words of blessing, she pulled Xia Yunran over, "This is Xia Yunran, the eldest daughter of Prince Jing. .”

"Yunran has met the emperor and the imperial concubine." Xia Yunran tried his best to maintain his position, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "The imperial concubine is as blessed as the East China Sea, and her life is longer than that of Nanshan."

"Miss Jing Jing's mansion, yes, she is very cute." The emperor smiled slightly, and said lightly, "I heard that you have a lot of insight into the canal issue?"

"What did the emperor say? It's just that there was some misunderstanding that day. Yunran is just a little girl in a deep boudoir. How could she understand this?" Xia Yunran said lightly, "The emperor is kind and didn't blame Yunran for talking nonsense. Yunran is already very grateful It's all over."

"Well, very good at talking." The emperor nodded and did not continue.

"It's quite appropriate." After the emperor's words fell, Concubine Lan Gui, who was sitting next to the emperor, suddenly said these words softly. Through the sense, Xia Yunran instantly entered a state of alert.

"Yunran is dull, I don't know what the empress said is very appropriate...?" Xia Yunran asked softly, looking at Concubine Lan Gui from such a close distance, it is different from just thinking that she is dignified and generous, she will also give people a sense of distance Feelings are not so easy to get close to.

"This dress." Concubine Lan Gui still had the same gentle tone and a gentle smile, "I heard that Tian'er specially made it for you."

Xia Yunran was immediately embarrassed. Song Yuerong looked at Xia Yunran with novel eyes, and there was a faint excitement in it. Even the emperor who had turned his eyes away and was talking to other people looked over, let alone Talk about other people around.

Dear friends, I am not a rare beast or a gorilla, please don't "watch" me like this, okay?I will be very stressed.

"Sure enough, it's very suitable for Miss Xia." Someone in the crowd said, the envious tone was self-evident, "The third prince is really caring."

"It seems that soon, there will be a big happy event for my royal family."

"Not only the clothes are suitable, but the person is also suitable."

The chattering voices surrounded me, if it was in the modern age, Xia Yunran would have yelled, shut up all of them, it's the right size!
