So in this life, Han Yan was wary of those beautiful things in advance. So much so that He Lianyu's stunning appearance, in her eyes, became dull after the first time she saw it.
Thinking of this, Han Yan glanced over there lightly, calmed down and lowered his head, looking obedient and submissive.
He Lianyu was staring straight at this side. When the little girl caught his gaze, she was stunned and lowered her head. Why did the last look at him look a bit mocking
He must have been overthinking it. He Lianyu thought for a while, and when he saw Han Yan no longer raised his head, he was relieved and started chatting with his brother.
The atmosphere of the palace banquet was not very warm because of the emperor and empress. Although the courtiers tried their best to appear happy, they still behaved with some rules. The emperor and empress only had a faint expression, not necessarily very happy.
Han Yan was wondering why there was no happy atmosphere in this palace banquet. It was strange.
Still suspicious, he saw a young eunuch announcing loudly: "King Xuanqing, General Cheng has arrived..."
A smile immediately appeared on the emperor's face: "Pass!"
But I saw two tall and straight figures striding forward, carrying the chill of snowflakes, as they walked to the main hall and bowed and saluted: "I will join you, Your Majesty!"
Different from the clear and generous sound of this voice, the voice that followed was cold and mellow, but it sounded like a thunder in Han Yan's ears, and she couldn't recover for a long time: "Wei Chen joins the emperor!"
"My dear, there is no need to be so polite. Just stay on your side."
Han Yan suddenly raised his head and saw that slender figure standing in the hall, with graceful bones and green pine, cold and luxurious. The dark cloud leopard cloak on his shoulders was familiar and dazzling, carrying the slightly humid water vapor in winter, blowing towards his face. Come.
The mysterious man in the Merlin is actually Prince Xuanqing Fu Yunxi!
Han Yan stared at his back, clenching his fists tightly in his sleeves. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse to actually be related to someone of such status!
Deng Chan noticed something was wrong with Han Yan. Seeing that she was only staring at King Xuanqing in the palace, she immediately leaned into Han Yan's ear and whispered: "You are still talking about me. It seems you are the one who is thinking about it now. Why are you just looking at it?" Look at him. Just be careful and don't let your aunt see you and cause some trouble."
Han Yan blushed and was about to retort, but knew that Deng Chan was sincerely doing her best. Zhou had been paying attention to her every move, eager to catch her mistakes and magnify them. She was distracted for a moment. If she was seen, she would That's bad. Then he lowered his head and just stared at the green tea leaves floating in the teacup in front of him.
Deng Chan laughed and pushed Han Yan: "Idiot, you believe anything you say. It's okay for you to just take a few glances. All the ladies here are staring over there. You're the one missing. It’s out of the way.”
Han Yan was stunned and looked up. Sure enough, the rich ladies around him all looked at King Xuanqing with red faces, while poor General Cheng was ignored. Those girls' eyes were no less obsessed than when they looked at He Lian Yu just now. Even when they looked at He Lian Yu just now, they were not so bold!
Han Yan couldn't help but think of what Deng Chan said: The wind is the most popular in Beijing. Although King Xuanqing couldn't compare to He Lian Yu in appearance, he couldn't compare to Wei Rufeng in gentleness, he couldn't compare to Jiang Yulou in free and easy manner, and he couldn't compare to Cheng Lei in bravery. But there is a kind of elegance of its own, and the posture is natural and does not need to be modified. If I can only use one word to describe it, it is unparalleled.
But even if he is so good, his cold eyes are scary enough. How come so many women are attracted to him? After thinking about it, Han Yan stared at his back, filled with doubts.
But at this moment, the man tilted his head slightly, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his black eyes, and his eyes fell on Han Yan vaguely.
Han Yan stiffened, and immediately lowered her head, praying in her heart that King Xuanqing didn't recognize her, it was just his own eyesight.
The emperor's smiling voice came to his ears: "General Cheng, now that you have successfully defeated the enemy, severely damaged Xirong, and promoted our great national prestige, you really deserve a heavy reward. I will give you ten thousand taels of gold, three thousand acres of fertile land, and hundreds of shops. Fifty high houses. If you want any reward, just tell me and I will make the decision for you!"
Everyone was indeed a little surprised when they heard this reward. Cheng Lei was granted the title of General when he was only a young man. At this time, he received many rewards, which was really enviable.
However, the emperor felt that General Cheng and Fu Yunxi were good friends and were very loyal. Although he was younger, he was still a rare and fierce general and would become an extraordinary person in the future. It's just that he is still young now and cannot increase his official position, otherwise the power in the DPRK and China will be unbalanced. As an emperor, you must make plans when doing things. Although the reward just now sounds good, it is only some money. As a military attaché who has been away at war for many years, money is the most useless thing. In order to compensate, he took advantage of the situation and suggested that Cheng Lei had other things he wanted.
Cheng Lei bowed his luggage respectfully and said in a sonorous voice: "I will thank the Emperor for your kindness. I dare not think of him again."
The emperor smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you and Yun Xi can go sit at the banquet. The dinner is about to begin. My dear friends, please drink a few more drinks today."
The two ministers then retreated to the side of the table and sat in the first place below the emperor. On the right of General Cheng was the king of Wei, Wei Jing. His face was very ugly at this moment. Seeing Cheng Lei sitting next to him with a proud look, he let out a cold snort from his nose.
Also with ugly faces were the courtiers who supported King Wei's faction. Zhuang Shiyang was one of them. His face was cold and he was even more unhappy. That Cheng Lei was just a child with a yellow mouth, but now he has become a popular person in front of the emperor. From now on, King Xuanqing's faction will be even more proud, and his career may not be smooth.
Zhuang Hanming looked at his father's gloomy face and seemed to understand something in his heart. However, he was not close to his father. Instead, he had infinite admiration and yearning for the general Shi Lei. Now his father lets him study in the Imperial College all day long, but who knows that this is not what he really cares about. A man should make contributions on the battlefield, and then he can be called a real hero. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but look at General Cheng. Seeing his upright and upright features, and the freedom and righteousness of a military man in his actions, I couldn't help but admire him even more.
Han Yan has not dared to raise his head since just now, feeling very conflicted in his heart. Before, she thought that the person in the Merlin was of noble status, so she guessed which prince he was. But she never expected that it was King Xuanqing. This was great. Who didn’t know that King Xuanqing had a deep brotherly relationship with the emperor, so she went into a place she shouldn’t have entered and saw something she shouldn’t have done. It was related to the royal family. The secret is that King Xuanqing is naturally on the side of the emperor, and he is afraid that he is in danger!
I also thought that I was lucky before. If I really couldn't escape, I would beg for it, or the other party would be soft-hearted because I was a young girl. But now, King Xuanqing is a broken sleeve, I'm afraid. Misogynistic. He also made such a disrespectful move towards him. Han Yan now only felt as big as one head and two heads. He felt at a loss for the first time after his rebirth.
