Xia Ming will arrive soon, he looks exactly like what Queen Xia said,
There is a three point similarity between the eyebrows and Sheng Cen, but if you look closely at their eyes, you can see that they are completely different.
Sheng Cen's eyes are always sharp and sharp, while Xia Ming's eyes are very gentle, looking pure and simple, and people can tell the difference between them at a glance.
Empress Xia brought Xia Ming to Tang Qiyuan, and introduced with a smile, "This is my nephew Xia Ming, and this is Xiao Qi, just like my own son, very cute and cute.
Xia Ming showed Tang Qiyuan a benevolent smile, and reached out to say hello to Tang Qiyuan, "Hello."
"Hello." Tang Qiyuan smiled, shook his hand back, and let go after a while. Xia Ming was fine, but he didn't have any desire to get to know him better.
Empress Xia smiled even more happily. She asked Xia Ming and Tang Qiyuan to sit down on the sofa, and said, "I'll go to work first. You young people talk to each other and get to know each other. I believe you will hit it off."
Xia Ming didn't know what Empress Xia wanted to hold the red line, and thought that Empress Xia just wanted them to be friends, so she nodded immediately and agreed, "Okay, aunt."
Empress Xia smiled, gave Tang Qiyuan an encouraging look, and then turned around contentedly to receive other guests, but her eyes could not help but pay attention to them frequently.
Xia Ming handed Tang Qiyuan the coffee on the table, and smiled a little cautiously, "I often hear my aunt mention you."
"Thank you..." Tang Qiyuan took a sip of the coffee, "I heard Auntie mentioned you too."
The two chatted a few words, but Tang Qiyuan didn't get up to leave because of Empress Xia's kindness, but just lowered her head and pretended to be drinking coffee all the time.
Standing on the stairs on the second floor, Sheng Cen frowned at them for a while, then suddenly called out: "Xia Ming, come up."
Xia Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked up, and saw Sheng Cen looking at him coldly.
The emperor wanted to talk to him about something, so he naturally couldn't refuse, he quickly nodded, turned around and smiled at Tang Qiyuan apologetically, got up and went upstairs.
After he left, Tang Qiyuan put down his coffee and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He really didn't know what to say to Xia Ming, he wasn't used to talking to strangers like this.
He went out and stood under the big tree in the yard. People gradually came, and the surroundings were full of laughter. Since it was a family feast today, the people who came were naturally Sheng Cen's relatives. Now that Sheng Cen has power, they Naturally, he was happy, but Xia Chenglang and his fifth brother had something to do today, so they didn't show up.
Sheng Cen and Xia Ming didn't know what they were busy upstairs, and they didn't come down for a long time. They didn't come down until it was time to eat.
Sheng Xi looked at Xia Ming who came down first, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing? Why have you stayed upstairs for so long?"
Xia Ming smiled awkwardly and scratched his hair innocently. He also wanted to know why he had to stay upstairs for so long.
Just now, after he went upstairs, Sheng Cen has been sitting on the chair and staring at him darkly, his eyes full of menace, just when he was dripping with cold sweat and couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead, Sheng Cen Then he suddenly opened his mouth, looked at him and asked, "Do you look like me?"
"...Not like, not at all." Although Xia Ming felt that this question was a bit inexplicable, he quickly denied it. Even if he was given a hundred courage, he would not dare to say that he looked like the emperor of the empire.
Hearing his words, Sheng Cen's ugly face finally eased a little. Sheng Cen glanced at him expressionlessly, found a newspaper from somewhere, threw it to him casually, and said, "Look."
… Then he was upstairs reading the newspaper until now.
He originally thought that there was something special about that newspaper, so he carefully read it from the beginning to the end, not letting go of every word, and it turned out to be an ordinary newspaper.
And Sheng Cen didn't look at him the whole time, just lowered his head and went about his own business, but he didn't tell him to leave. It wasn't until it was time for dinner that Sheng Cen finally let him go downstairs.
Before Xia Ming had time to speak, Sheng Cen came down. Xia Ming immediately stopped talking, not daring to say more, and his intuition told him that it would be better not to provoke Sheng Cen today.
Empress Xia stood by the table, glanced at Sheng Cen, waved to Xia Ming, and said, "Xiao Ming, come here and sit next to Xiao Qi."
Sheng Cen lowered his eyebrows, glanced at Tang Qiyuan, "Xiao Qi sit next to me."
There were quite a few people who came to the Lan Palace family banquet today, and they were all somewhat related to him. Everyone sat in order according to the distance of blood relationship, but Tang Qiyuan ran to the corner automatically and consciously by himself. He couldn't help twisting in displeasure. eyebrow.
Empress Xia looked at him, her smile remained the same, and her voice was even gentler, she pretended to be casual and said: "Cen Cen, Xiao Qi is not your queen, how can she sit next to you? This is against the rules .”
Sheng Cen frowned tightly, "You can't sit there either."
It was too far away from him, he couldn't even talk to Tang Qiyuan.
"Xiao Qi likes to be quiet, it's good to sit there." Empress Xia said indifferently.
In the final analysis, who they treat well is not for others to see. There is no difference between Tang Qiyuan's distance and height. Only those who are eager to get involved with them or want to make a profit will want to sit close to them. One point, Tang Qiyuan has long been their own person to them, even if they sit on the horizon, they will always protect him, and there is no need to prove this to others.
After she finished speaking, she ignored Sheng Cen, but pushed Xia Ming to sit beside Tang Qiyuan.
Xia Ming didn't understand why, so he looked up at Tang Qiyuan and smiled in a daze.
Tang Qiyuan pursed the corners of her lips, and smiled back politely.
Seeing Tang Qiyuan's gentle look with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, Sheng Cen's face darkened a few degrees, but he didn't refute Empress Xia again.
He sat down on the seat of the main table with a sullen face, and his body was filled with cold low air pressure. He was already imposing at ordinary times, and his face was so cold that it gave people a sense of urgency in vain.
He was silent, and he seldom talked even when he was eating. Seeing that he didn't dare to make mistakes, others were so frightened that they took back all the compliments they had thought about long ago, and just kept their heads down while eating.
For a while, the banquet was extremely quiet, only Empress Xia was smiling all the time, and she and Sheng Xi received the guests with a smile, whispering a few words from time to time, or taking the initiative to raise the wine glass to clink glasses with everyone.
Tang Qiyuan sat in the corner, obediently lowered his head to eat, and occasionally looked up at everyone. He found that the atmosphere of Sheng Xi and Yan Fei looked a little weird today. Looking into Yan Fei's eyes, once Yan Fei accidentally touched the back of his hand, he almost lost his grip on the chopsticks.
Yan Fei's eyes looked disappointed, implying a deep sense of unwillingness.
Tang Qiyuan secretly speculated that Yan Fei might have confessed his love, or that Sheng Xi knew his intentions by accident, so Sheng Xi didn't know what to do, and secretly dodged Yan Fei like this.
This meal was full of thoughts. Although Xia Ming hid in a corner with Tang Qiyuan and could eat quietly, he was not as at ease as Tang Qiyuan was eating. Instead, he felt cold behind him and couldn't swallow. .
He always felt that Sheng Cen's eyes were cold every time he looked at him, especially when he was talking to Tang Qiyuan, Sheng Cen's eyes were always extraordinarily cold, piercing him coldly like ice and snow.
After eating, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time. Xia Ming fidgeted and stayed in the Lan Palace for a while, and when everyone finally finished, he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
Empress Xia looked at him and smiled and said, "Xiao Ming, you happened to be on the way and helped Auntie Xiao Qi to take her home. The two of you live close to each other, and you can still chat on the way. Young people need to communicate more."
"Okay, aunt." Xia Ming nodded with a smile, turned to look at Tang Qiyuan, and asked his opinion in a gentle voice, "Shall we go now?"
Tang Qiyuan froze for a moment, then stood up, "Okay."
He looked up at Sheng Cen, who was standing not far away, with his back turned to him, talking to someone.
He lowered his head, he didn't have time to say a word to Sheng Cen today.
He pursed his lips and said to Empress Xia: "Auntie, then I'll go back first, you can help me tell Sheng Cen that I'm leaving later, and... Please help me congratulate him for finally fulfilling his wish."
Empress Xia nodded lightly, "Don't worry, I will tell him."
"Thank you, Auntie." Tang Qiyuan smiled, bid farewell to Empress Xia with Xia Ming and walked out.
Empress Xia looked at the backs of them leaving together, both happy and a little bit disappointed.
She sighed, looked back at her son who was still unaware, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Tang Qiyuan followed Xia Ming to the parking lot. As Queen Xia said, Xia Ming is indeed a gentleman. Along the way, he kept looking for topics to chat with Tang Qiyuan. These topics were neither too intimate nor too intimate. Embarrassing Tang Qiyuan.
It's just that Tang Qiyuan was not interested all the time, and just echoed in a low voice, without any desire or desire to speak actively.
When Tang Qiyuan opened the car door and was about to get in, Sheng Cen suddenly chased after her.
He walked hurriedly, with slight sweat on his forehead, without even looking at Xia Ming, he grabbed Tang Qiyuan's wrist and walked back, saying in a very low voice: "I have something to talk to you, you will wait later Let's go."
Sheng Cen's strength was so great that Tang Qiyuan's wrist turned red instantly, he couldn't help frowning, and pushed Sheng Cen's hand, "Let me go first, I'll go by myself."
Sheng Cen turned a deaf ear to his words, and still held his wrist tightly, but with a little less strength.
The pain in her wrist was gone, so Tang Qiyuan let him go without struggling.
Xia Ming watched them walk away, unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the back of his neck in fear, and hurriedly got into the car and drove away.
He suspected that if he stayed in Lan Palace like this, he would be assassinated by someone sent by Sheng Cen. The way Sheng Cen looked at him today was so terrifying that he wanted to shudder just thinking about it.
The guests had all left, and Empress Xia was sitting on the sofa resting. When she saw Sheng Cen coming back holding Tang Qiyuan's wrist, she froze for a moment, put down the water glass in her hand, and stepped forward to remove Tang Qiyuan's wrist from Sheng Cen's. rescued from his hands.
"You are an Alpha, and Xiao Qi is an Omega. From now on, you should be careful with your words and deeds. Don't touch anything if you have nothing to do. It doesn't matter if you are misunderstood by others. What if Xiao Qi is misunderstood?"
After she finished speaking, she rubbed Tang Qiyuan's wrist distressedly, and said softly: "Alphas have thick hands and feet, and they don't know how to love others at all."
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Tang Qiyuan pursed her lips and smiled. Every time Empress Xia reprimanded Sheng Cen, she was very feisty. Like ordinary mothers, even if Sheng Cen became the emperor, nothing would change. Sheng Cen may be high on the outside, but in the Lan Palace, he is only the son of Empress Xia.
Empress Xia patted Tang Qiyuan's head with a smile, raised her head and asked Sheng Cen angrily, "Why did you bring Xiao Qi back? If you hadn't been delaying them all this time, Xiao Qi and Xia Ming should have already exchanged cell phone numbers." .”
Tang Qiyuan's cheeks turned red, and she was anxious to explain that he didn't have that kind of thought for Xia Ming.
Sheng Cen looked at his flushed cheeks, his face turned ugly involuntarily, and he said with tight lips, "I checked just now, and Xia Ming already has a girlfriend. Mom, you don't need to waste your time thinking about it."
Empress Xia looked at him in astonishment, "When I asked him before, he didn't have a girlfriend yet. How could he have one so soon? When did it happen?"
"Only dated last week."
Empress Xia frowned slightly, looked at Tang Qiyuan annoyed and said, "Auntie didn't ask clearly this time, but it doesn't matter, wait until Auntie finds you someone better than him."
"No." Sheng Cen said with a cold face.
"Why not? Why does His Majesty the Emperor still want to take care of the marriage?" Empress Xia shot Sheng Cen a glance.
"No..." Sheng Cen frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Mom, you can introduce someone to Xiao Qi, but only with my consent. After I have screened and found the right person, you can introduce him to Xiao Qi. Don't be like today. Just bring those messy people to Xiao Qi without asking clearly."
Empress Xia frowned, "You want to check on Xiao Qi, does Xiao Qi agree?"
Tang Qiyuan glanced at Sheng Cen, and Sheng Cen looked down at him with sharp eyebrows and deep eyes.
Under the pressure of Sheng Cen's dangerous eyes, he nodded hastily, and said very spinelessly: "I agree."
Empress Xia was helpless. After thinking about it, she also felt that she had done a bit badly this time. It would be great if Sheng Cen could help her to investigate clearly, so she reluctantly nodded and agreed, "Okay then."
