Completely different from the expression in Lu Chen's eyes, the emperor's expression when he looked at Leng Yiyao made it difficult for everyone to see clearly the happiness and anger.
He sat on the throne, looking down at everyone, including Leng Yiyao. It seemed that he did not take in all her charming appearance, but seemed to take in everything.
The entire banquet hall, except for the music played by the orchestra, was eerily quiet without the bustle of people.
Even Lu Chen's fingertips clenched slightly.
No one knows his father's attitude towards Leng Yiyao better than him.
As a member of the royal family, he has to fulfill his royal responsibilities. This is what his father has taught him for so many years. In the early years, he had heard about it and forgotten it. Now, his grandfather's death made him understand that no matter how noble he was born, without the power to suppress everything, the seat behind him would only be a floating cloud in the sky and would disappear in an instant. .
For the royal masquerade, all the women standing here have been carefully selected. Only Leng Yiyao, only she, was the invitation hand-delivered by him.
The selection of the prince's concubine is far from a fairy tale between two people. On the contrary, this involves the exchange of conditions and mutual support between the royal family and the woman's family. Just like when the father married the princess, she was obviously the princess of a neighboring country who fought to the death. For the benefit of the two countries, the marriage was just another one. trade.
His father's cold-bloodedness and sophistication were his biggest variables tonight.
The emperor looked at a young woman in silence, but his face showed no emotion at all. Gradually, even the sound from the orchestra became smaller and smaller, and gradually became almost inaudible...
"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is not very satisfied with this Miss Leng." Someone whispered softly, with a lot of gloating in his voice. Anyone would be unhappy if their light was obscured, let alone a group of proud women like them.
"The eldest prince's greatest advantage is His Majesty's favor. Now, I'm afraid there will be something good to watch." Some people said one thing, and naturally others followed suit. That rose-colored dress is said to be the masterpiece of the royal chief designer ALEX. If she were to wear it on herself, she would definitely be stunning. She, Leng Yiyao, is just the daughter of a businessman, so what should she be proud of!
In the midst of the noise, His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting at the top, suddenly waved to Leng Yiyao: "Come, come closer."
When he spoke, his gaze fell straight on Leng Yiyao's soul-eating face, as if he was looking for something.
Look for the qualities that make Frey, Hemmer's most valued bodyguard, worth his salt.
Beauty, of course, is beautiful, but there are so many beauties in this world.
Under the crystal chandelier, the light was bright, casting a lustrous glow on her body, as if she had stepped out of the glass light.
Leng Yiyao turned her head and smiled softly when she heard the emperor's voice.
At that moment, the shadow of the begonia flower reflected the light, and the subtle fragrance floated, looming...
The emperor's eyes were suddenly startled, fixed on her eyes, and became stiff and motionless.
Such a pair of eyes are clearly in the brightest and brightest position, slanted, like a curtain hidden in the depths of the water shadow, unable to shine through or see through...
Like a fog, it is born a mystery.
She walked towards the throne step by step. All the sounds around her stopped unconsciously, and the whole place fell silent.
Men have always been superior to women in the empire. Even at large-scale dinners like the royal family, the concubines and princesses are not seen accompanying the emperor. Instead, they sit behind cleverly designed curtains with masks on, so that they can observe the whole audience without having to "show their faces" .
Therefore, when Leng Yiyao walked to the emperor's side and stopped, everyone suddenly realized that the guards around his majesty did not take precautions in advance or keep a warning distance.
From this point of view, the emperor was not wary of her at all.
After seeing this, the silence on Lu Chen's face wavered slightly, like ripples cut by water waves, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sure enough, it's really stunning." The emperor looked at Leng Yiyao intently, his eyes following her eyes and falling on his son. Finally, he sighed slightly and with only five words, the atmosphere was instantly changed.
Then, all the guests were shocked to find that His Majesty the Emperor actually smiled at Leng Yiyao.
For a person who had always remained calm, this was the greatest expression of satisfaction. Not to mention the noble ladies who were gloating just now, even the princess and the eldest princess sitting in the back row showed a look of astonishment.
Only Leng Yiyao, who was standing closest, lowered his head and smiled erratically.
She clearly saw the king's helplessness in being "obsessed" with his son.
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall instantly returned to liveliness, the orchestra started playing again, and a group of people sang and danced. The women looked blankly at the throne, only to see His Majesty the Emperor waving to Leng Yiyao again.
The distance between the two was very close, so close that she could hear every word of His Majesty's words by bending down slightly.
His voice was steady and his eyes were calm. His eyes were clearly focused on Lu Chen in the distance, but the words on his lips were only for her: "Thank you for bringing him back to the imperial capital safely."
Leng Yiyao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. According to legend, His Majesty, the emperor with unique skills, would actually say this to her
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said to Lu Chen: "Come on, why don't you invite me to the opening dance?"
His eyes were soft, as if he was just an ordinary father, talking softly to his son.
Unfortunately, the reaction of everyone in the audience was dumbfounded!
His Majesty the Emperor actually agreed to the eldest prince inviting Leng Yiyao to perform the opening dance!
