When Su Li arrived at the scene, besides the main emperor and empress, there were also four concubines, a prince and two princes, as well as concubine Jing, Beitang Jin, mother and daughter.
When she came, other people's eyes fell on her, full of scrutiny.
After Su Li saluted respectfully, she was given a seat by Beitang Shang. And her place was actually at the second table from the lower right, and Beitang Jin was sitting opposite her.
"Yan'er just came back from Master Xiao's house?" the queen asked with a smile.
"Yes, Yan'er is practicing martial arts seriously every day, and I will definitely not disappoint my father." Su Li's tone was calm, with a hint of free and easy.
Beitang laughed, "I am very pleased that Yan'er has worked so hard. However, there are still two months left, so you have to keep working hard."
"Father, Master said that I have good talent, and I am a good material for martial arts." Su Li said with a hint of pride in her tone, holding her head high.
Bei Tangshang laughed, looked at her with rare loving eyes, and rewarded her with two desserts, "Don't you like this pumpkin soup, eat more."
"Thank you, father." Su Li was indeed trembling. Martial arts practice is very exhausting. She was called over as soon as she came back, and she hadn't had time to eat.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yan is a daughter of gold, why bother to practice martial arts?" Concubine Ning, who has been enjoying herself recently, asked with a smile.
"I don't understand what this girl is thinking, but if she wants to try, I will give her a chance." Bei Tangshang is in a good mood, and recently he thinks Concubine Ning is pleasing to the eye, and his attitude towards her is very gentle, even with intimacy.
Concubine Jing lowered her eyes to hide the resentment in her eyes.
Probably because of the marriage some time ago, she still made Beitang a little dissatisfied. Recently, the number of bedtime service has decreased a lot, and she was so angry that she dropped several sets of vases and plates because of being caught up by other concubines.
Su Li was only here for a meal, so she was asked a few words when she first came, and the rest of the time she began to eat quietly, or listen to those concubines asking for favor and causing trouble for each other. The chef's craftsmanship is naturally good, especially the two pastries, which she likes very much. It's just that there are only three pieces of pastries in each dish, and she's gone before she's had enough of it.
"Yan'er, here you are." A low voice came from the side, and immediately, a plate with pastries was placed in Su Li's hand.
Su Li looked up, and saw that it was given to her by the fourth prince Bei Tangheng on her left. Seeing her turn to look at him, she blinked quietly.
In her memory, although the fourth prince was quite favored by Beitang Shang, he didn't like reading and writing, and he didn't like riding and shooting. He just liked to play around with cats and dogs. Just relying on his "playboy" and "not motivated", he has firmly reserved a place in Bei Tangshang's heart, which shows that he still has some skills.
Without revealing her thoughts, Su Li whispered a big thank you, then lowered her head and happily ate the pastry.
Bei Tangheng's sitting posture was unrestrained and unrestrained, even if the emperor was sitting on top of him, he didn't restrain himself, holding a glass of clear wine in his hand, he drank every sip, and glanced at Su Li who was seriously eating pastries from time to time.
He was sitting on her left, so when he looked at her face like this, he just saw a scarred face, but he felt that even if there was a scar, this sister looked very pretty.
Seeing that Su Li was nibbling on the last piece of pastry, Bei Tangheng looked around and saw that the one on his table was gone, so he directly took the pastry from the Seventh Prince from the table next to him and put it on Su Li's table.
Su Li looked at the extra cakes in confusion, then looked at Beitang Heng, and whispered, "Fourth brother, I'm full."
"I'm full. How about calling fourth brother to listen?"
