The foolish king's contract princess

Chapter 107 The Palace Banquet (1)
After Nan Mengjie arrived at the palace banquet, she didn't go in immediately, but stood outside and simply tidied up her appearance, then walked in slowly with a dagger in one hand.

"My lady, where have you been? It's been so long," Ye Yuchen asked after Nan Mengjie was seated.

Ye Yuchen smelled the bloody smell on Nan Mengjie's body, scanned around, and found no injury to Nan Mengjie, so he was relieved a lot.

"It's okay, I just thought the banquet was boring, so I hid outside to cool off for a while," Nan Mengjie slightly distanced the distance between the two of them while speaking.

"My lady, why is your face so red?" Ye Yuchen noticed that Nan Mengjie was breathing heavily, probably because she was not feeling well.

"It's okay, I just left in a hurry," Nan Mengjie didn't want to worry Ye Yuchen, so she didn't tell the truth.

Ye Yuchen guessed that Nan Mengjie might have taken the love potion, but he couldn't be sure, and besides, he hadn't finished his work yet, so he couldn't leave the meeting so early.

Ever since Nan Mengjie took her seat, the queen has been observing Nan Mengjie. Just now she and the emperor learned the news of Ye Yudie's assassination, and the emperor ordered a quiet search.She thought that Nan Mengjie would not come back again, but she never expected that Nan Mengjie would boldly return to the banquet again.

After Gong Yanhao returned to the banquet, he told Ye Yuchen to leave the palace quickly with his eyes, but Ye Yuchen didn't act, maybe he didn't understand what Gong Yanhao meant, or he didn't want to leave.

The singing and dancing continued when Nan Mengjie was extremely unwell, and the queen started another plan of hers.

"Your majesty, the concubine thinks that Princess Mingyue is knowledgeable and reasonable, how about letting her be Heng'er's concubine?" The queen asked the emperor with a smile.

"That's a good idea. I wonder what the prince thinks?" The emperor naturally hoped that the two countries would marry.

"The concubine will ask Heng'er soon," the queen said virtuously.

The empress must be an intelligent woman to be able to sit firmly in the middle palace. She knew that no matter what decision she made, she had to ask the emperor to agree first.

After the dance, the queen smiled and said to Ye Yuheng: "Heng'er, the Ai family thinks that Princess Mingyue is well educated, what do you think?"

"After returning to my mother, I also thought so, so I was planning to ask Princess Mingyue to marry me as my concubine," the crown prince and queen put on a good show.

"This is really a good idea. I wonder what Prince An thinks of the prince's proposal?" The queen asked Prince An with a smile.

Prince An was about to speak after hearing the Queen's words, but Nan Mengjie spoke first: "Empress, this concubine thinks this proposal is not good? The concubine's younger sister has just been divorced by the prince, and you are now accepting concubine for the prince, is it right?" It's not too much."

After Nan Mengjie entered the arena, she felt the queen's observing eyes, so she concluded that the queen must be involved in this incident. The queen didn't want her to be safe, so she wouldn't make the queen happy.Thinking about blindly giving in and making things worse, she is very angry now, so she directly confronted the queen.

"The fifth imperial concubine really has a deep sisterhood, but your sister Nanmengxi was dismissed because of a mistake. The prince's status is precious, so naturally he can't be idle for too long for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji's concubine," the queen said at this time. She laughed, but her eyes were full of viciousness when she looked at Nan Mengjie.

"The concubine's younger sister did make a mistake, and the concubine has no words to explain, but she chose a concubine for the prince in such a short period of time. Those who know it will say that the empress and the prince are for the sake of the country, and those who don't know think that the prince is looking for a better one. The partner of the company intends to suspend Nanmengxi, and then everyone will think that the prince is too cold-blooded, which will damage the reputation of the prince."

Nan Mengjie tried her best to suppress the disordered breath in her body while speaking, so that her breath sounded like a normal person, but just these few short sentences, it was really difficult for her to speak in her current state.
