The Phoenix Arises

Chapter 29: The reception dinner kicked off

Views:

The dinner party officially started.

Duanmuxue and Huangfuche are sitting on the lower left, Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo, and Duanmuxian, Situ Rui; on the lower right are Duanmu Shuang, Duanmu Feihe Mixiu, and Duanmu Qingsi Yunhan.

There were pairs of people on the steps, which made Duanmu Shuang stand out, sitting alone.

Duanmu Shuang's main prince, Qin Zhuo, died young. There were only a few servants in the house, not even a side prince. It was not that she loved Qin Zhuo, but that she was obsessed with Huangfu Che and was not interested in other men, so tonight She only brought Duanmu Qing and Si Yunhan to the banquet.

Duanmuqing raised her eyes and looked at Duanmuxi opposite with a half-smile.

Even if he can come back like this, this good-for-nothing has a long life, but it's a pity that she won't let her live for long.

Si Yunhan, who was sitting next to Duan Muqing, also kept looking at Duan Muxi secretly.

After not seeing her for more than a year, she became more and more stunning in appearance, her purple eyes became more and more captivating, and her aura made people dare not look directly at her.

But she didn't like him as much as before. It had been so long since the dinner started, and she hadn't even glanced at him. All her thoughts were on the stunning man next to her.

"Axue, eat this, this is good."

Duan Muxi arranged dishes for Xuanyuan Mo from time to time. The two of them sometimes looked at each other and smiled, sometimes lowered their heads and whispered, making the boys and girls below look envious.

The civil and military officials also looked at the two of them blankly.

Judging from Her Royal Highness's attitude towards the young master, it seems that the position of the queen should belong to that young master.

Thinking of this, all the ministers looked disappointed.

They originally thought that the eldest son of Si would marry Qingshi's daughter, and they finally had a glimmer of hope that they could marry the princess, but who knew that their joy was in vain.

Looking at the loving two people across from each other, a flash of jealousy and envy flashed in Si Yunhan's eyes.

Seeing Si Yunhan staring at the opposite side, Duanmu Qing raised his eyes with a sneer on his lips.

The moment she saw Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Qing was stunned.

There are such stunning men in this world

No wonder Duan Muxi didn't even look at Si Yunhan all night. Compared with that stunning man, Si Yunhan had nothing to see. If it were her, she wouldn't even look at Si Yunhan.

Here, Duan Muxi, who was serving dishes to Xuanyuan Mo, suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing Duanmu Xi's strange behavior, Xuanyuan Mo asked softly.

Duanmu Xi shook his head slightly, and his cold eyes stared directly at Duanmu Qing opposite him.

This woman is really hateful, she hates the way she looks at Ashue.

Xuanyuan Mo, who was confused, also followed Duan Muxi's eyes and looked to the opposite side.

Seeing Duanmu Qing drooling at him like a vicious dog seeing bones, Xuanyuan Mo suddenly felt sick.

When Duanmu Qing saw Xuanyuan Mo looking towards her, she quickly glanced at him thinking she was handsome.

Xuanyuan Mo's goosebumps instantly fell all over the floor, and he almost vomited.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his waist and turned his head to look.

Duan Muxi, who was beside him, was looking coldly at the woman opposite, while a pair of small white jade hands pinched his waist fiercely.

Is Xi'er jealous

Xuanyuan Mo finally reacted, and in an angry and funny manner, he stretched out his hand to hold the small white jade hand squeezing his waist.

This was the first time he held her hand. Her hand was really small, only a little bigger than his palm. He gently opened her palm and wrote three words on her palm very seriously.

I love you.

Those three words made Duanmu Xi's heart melt instantly.

Duan Muxi's face turned red and she held Xuanyuan Mo's big hand tightly, feeling extremely sweet in her heart.

After writing those three words, Xuanyuan Mo also blushed slightly.

He had wanted to say these three words to her for a long time, but he never had the chance. Today he finally "said" them.

Duanmu Qing saw Xuanyuan Mo blushing, thinking that he had received her flirtatious look, and secretly rejoiced.

It seemed that the stunningly beautiful man also liked her. There were a few men in the world who liked losers. She must snatch him away from that loser.

Duanmu Qing thought about it, and frequently fired electricity towards Xuanyuan Mo.

Those nymphomaniac eyes successfully destroyed the ambiguous atmosphere here.

Duan Muxi was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, his deep purple eyes filled with murderous intent.

Damn woman, how dare you taint her Axue with that disgusting look, she's just looking for death. If she didn't want to expose her strength so early, she would definitely kill her instantly.

Situ Lan and the others here were not aware of the undercurrent of the few people at all, and took his younger brother Situ Jue to toast Duan Muxi.

"Cousin Xi'er, congratulations on your safe return."

"Thanks."

Duan Muxi still had a good impression of Situ Lan and Situ Jue. When she saw them coming to toast, she raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp.

With Situ Lan and Situ Jue at the beginning, everyone toasted one by one to express their congratulations. Duanmu Xi also accepted them one by one patiently.

Gradually, Duanmu Xi's fair little face was stained with a faint blush, and the original coldness now gained a hint of charm.

Seeing Duan Muxi drinking one cup after another, Xuanyuan Mo's eyes flashed with worry.

"Xi'er, stop drinking."

Knowing that Xuanyuan Mo cared about her, Duan Muxi felt warm in her heart and raised the corners of her lips, "Okay."

"Your Highness Xi, Yunhan also congratulates you on your safe return."

Si Yunhan suddenly stood up and raised his glass to Duanmu Xi.

When he looked up and saw an unfamiliar handsome face, the smile on Duanmu Xi's lips dropped instantly.

"Thanks."

Duanmu Xi thanked her softly, but did not touch the wine glass.

Looking at Duan Muxi's unfamiliar eyes, a flash of panic flashed in Si Yunhan's eyes.

Is she blaming him? Or is it punishing him

"Why doesn't His Highness Xi drink Yun Hanjing's wine?"

The voice was extremely resentful.

As soon as Si Yunhan said these words, everyone present frowned, especially Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo, and Duanmu Qing.

Duanmu's clear eyes were dark, his face was ashen, and the veins on his forehead popped out.

Damn man, how dare you embarrass her in public.

Xuanyuan Mo's eyes were deep and he looked at Si Yunhan opposite him coldly.

Like Xi'er

But he is not qualified to be his enemy.

Duanmuxi narrowed her eyes slightly, with a cold look on her face.

Duanmuqing’s true lord? Had she known him before

But no matter what happened to them before, now that he has chosen Duanmu Qing, he shouldn't have any extravagant hopes.

"I promised Ashue not to drink anymore."

Hearing this, Si Yunhan swayed and fell directly to his seat.

Does she care about that young master that much

But what about him

Does she really not remember the good times they had before

He doesn't seek to be her rightful king. Whether he is a side prince or a minister, he is satisfied if he has a place by her side. Isn't this also okay

He was wrong, really wrong, but why couldn't we give him another chance
