Leng Haoyu grabbed Han Mingxi and laughed dryly at Mo Xiuyao, "Although we haven't known each other for long, we feel like old friends at first sight. Brother Han Mingxi, let's discuss how you want to celebrate your birthday first. "Ignoring Han Mingxi's objection, he grabbed him and dragged him out. Han Mingxi, who had first-rate lightness skills and third-rate martial arts, couldn't even struggle before he was dragged out by Leng Haoyu, who looked third-rate but was actually first-rate.
At the banquet in the palace, some people were happy while others were sad.
In the elegantly decorated palace, Noble Consort Liu was wearing a snow-white brocade dress with a silver phoenix pattern. The maid behind her carefully avoided the snow-white dress on the ground and inserted a silver butterfly tassel hairpin into her soft black hair. Noble Concubine Liu looked at the reflection of her family members in the bronze mirror with an indifferent expression.
"Noble Consort, the princess is here." The maid beside her reported softly.
A touch of warmth flashed in Noble Consort Liu's cold eyes, "Let her in." After a while, a young girl in a light yellow dress came in. She stood at the door and looked at Noble Consort Liu timidly. Then she walked forward and called softly, "Mother …" Noble Consort Liu turned around and pulled the girl in front of her. Looking at the face that was somewhat similar to hers, Noble Consort Liu lowered her eyes and suppressed the complicated expression in her eyes. She asked softly, "Ning 'er, why did you come to my place at this time?" The girl looked up at Noble Consort Liu and whispered, "Sister Changle said that she would attend the banquet with mother. I also want to go with mother." Noble Consort Liu was stunned and frowned, "You are still young. Tonight's banquet is to welcome the Prince of the Northern Tribes. You don't have to attend."
Tears of grievance appeared in the girl's eyes. Sister Changle was only one year older than her. However, Imperial Mother would often bring her to the palace banquets to play together. However, Imperial Mother had never been willing to bring her along, nor was she willing to play with her. She knew that mother didn't like her … Noble Consort Liu's expression softened when she saw the shock on the girl's tender face. But she soon calmed down and said coldly, "Ning 'er, don't you listen to mother? Go back! " Looking at her daughter's aggrieved and sad appearance, she finally paused and said in a low voice, "Go back to your own palace. In a while, let Mama bring you to the palace banquet." The girl raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and sobbed, "Wuwu … Mother, don't be angry. Ning 'er won't go. Ning 'er is going to play with my brothers … "After saying that, she turned around and stumbled out.
It was quiet in the hall. The chief maid beside Noble Consort Liu frowned and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, aren't you being too …"
Noble Consort Liu turned around and said blandly, "No need to say more. Help me dress up."
Seeing her like this, the palace maid did not dare to persuade her again. She looked back at the door and sighed slightly in her heart. Compared to how the Empress treated the Eldest Princess, the Empress treated the Second Princess and even the two Princes too coldly. This way, when the princes and princesses grew up in the future, their feelings for the Imperial Concubine would also be affected. It was a pity that the Imperial Concubine would not listen to their advice. They could only nimbly dress up for their mistress. Noble Consort Liu stood up and looked at herself in the mirror before turning around and saying, "Let's go."
The banquet was still the same as usual, with songs and dances celebrating peace and prosperity. Ye Li sat next to Mo Xiuyao. She could clearly feel that from the moment she entered the hall, someone's gaze had not left her. Looking up, the person sitting opposite her was the key figure of tonight's banquet, the Seventh Prince of the Northern Militant Kingdom, Yelu Ye. Seeing Ye Li looking at him, Yelu Ye raised his eyebrows and raised his wine cup in her direction. That undisguised impudent gaze made Ye Li's heart sink. She was very unhappy. Ever since she married Mo Xiuyao, no … it should be said that since she could remember, no one dared to look at her with such an impudent gaze. Seeming to sense Ye Li's anger, Yelu Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled. He turned his head and talked to the person sitting next to him.
Ye Li indifferently lowered her eyes and looked down at her hands. Did Yelu Ye think that she would explode on the spot?
A slightly cold hand grasped her hand. Ye Li raised her head and saw Mo Xiuyao's gentle and caring eyes. Mo Xiuyao laughed softly and said, "Wife, don't be angry. Later, I will dig out his eyeballs for you." Ye Li rolled her eyes at him and muttered, "He is the King of the Northern Militant Kingdom's most favored son. If you dig out his eyeballs, won't the Northern Militant Kingdom and the Da Chu State fight?" Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and laughed lightly, "Who said that I can only do it in the Da Chu State? When we go to the Northern Militant Kingdom, I also have a way to dig out his eyeballs as an apology to wife. " Ye Li shook her head, "It's nothing. It's fine as long as you come back safely from the Northern Militant Kingdom. It's better if you don't cause any more trouble." Mo Xiuyao looked deeply at her happy expression. "Wife, are you worried about me? Your husband is really happy." Ye Li couldn't help but pinch him. Ever since that night at the Lantern Festival, this person had become more and more pretentious. All day long, his wife and husband wouldn't stop talking about each other.
Mo Jingqi, who was sitting above, naturally saw the interaction below clearly. His originally handsome face twisted slightly. Mo Jingqi turned back and smiled at Noble Consort Liu and the Empress, saying, "Prince Ding and the Princess have been married for more than a year, but they are still as loving as ever." The Empress took a sip of the wine in her cup and smiled lightly, saying, "Your Majesty is right. Prince Ding and Princess Ding are deeply in love. It must be another story in the capital." Mo Jingqi nodded and smiled, saying, "The Empress is right. My dear wife, what do you think?" Noble Consort Liu's face was as white as snow and her expression was cold. "Your Majesty is right." Wang Zhaorong, who was sitting below Noble Consort Liu, looked at Noble Consort Liu and then at Prince Ding and his wife below. She covered her mouth and smiled foolishly, saying, "I heard that Sister Liu and Prince Ding were childhood sweethearts …" Before she finished speaking, Mo Jingqi's gaze shot to her like a sharp arrow. Wang Zhaorong's heart jumped. She knew that she had said something wrong, but she was so scared that she didn't know what to do. The Empress frowned and said lightly, "Wang Zhaorong, you can't drink much. What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Zhaorong's face was a little ugly, but she knew in her heart that the Empress had helped her out. She hurriedly agreed and lowered her head, not daring to say more.
"Your Majesty." His Highness, Yelu Ye suddenly stood up and spoke to Mo Jingqi in a clear voice, "My country's Crown Princess passed away at the beginning of the year. In consideration of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Father promised to welcome the Princess of Da Chu State to the Northern Tribes as the Crown Princess. This Prince doesn't know if I would have the honor of meeting my future sister-in-law. "
Yelu Ye's words caused an uproar in the hall. The difference between becoming the Crown Princess of the Northern Tribes and becoming the Crown Princess of the Northern Tribes and becoming the Crown Princess of the Northern Tribes was like the difference between clouds and mud. Not to mention those who couldn't see through it, even those who had already seen through this marriage couldn't help but be moved. What was the use of a daughter in a family? Marriage in exchange for short-term benefits or relationships. After all, no one could rely on a woman to maintain a relationship for a long time, right? Even if they knew that the woman who married into the Northern Tribes wouldn't have a good life, if there were enough benefits, sacrificing a daughter was completely worth it. Ye Li was a little surprised. She tilted her head to look at Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "The difference between becoming the Crown Princess and officially becoming the Crown Princess is not just a little bit. Who said that the Northern Tribes people are straightforward and courageous, not scheming and crafty? "
