The appearance of the two people was so shocking that Shangguan Lei, the concubine of Prince Rui, known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, was overshadowed when she appeared.
Shangguan Lei was also very beautiful, and she had dressed up carefully today, so her face was even more radiant.
However, as soon as she stepped into the palace gate, not one of the expectant and stunning eyes fell on her, and not a single word of praise was heard.
There is no warm praise in the past, only deserted silence.
At this moment, she saw Lu Liangwei.
The alluring woman who caught everyone's attention.
She instantly understood the problem.
Looking at a woman who was more beautiful than herself, Shangguan Lei's expression turned ugly. The way she dressed today seemed like a joke.
It was more like she had been slapped in the face, her face was burning.
Her face stiffened, and her eyes looked at Lu Liangwei full of hostility.
Lu Liangwei noticed the unkind gaze, turned around and saw Yuan Xin next to Shangguan Lei.
Seeing her, Lu Liangwei automatically ignored Shangguan Lei and waved to Yuan Xin.
Yuan Xin was very happy to see Shangguan Lei's ugly face. When she saw Lu Liangwei, she waved to her in a good mood and followed Bei Tangrui to her seat.
Shangguan Lei glared at Lu Liangwei bitterly before taking a seat.
"Those are the family members of Lord Lin, the envoy of the Great Shang Dynasty?"
"probably."
"She is so beautiful, even the most beautiful Shangguan Lei can't compare to her."
"I heard that Mr. Lin dotes on her very much."
"She's so beautiful. It's me, and I'll love her too."
A slightly frivolous voice suddenly broke into the low-pitched discussion.
Everyone looked around, and when they saw it was the eighth son of the emperor, King He, the voices in the palace fell silent, and they were a little afraid.
This King He's mother-in-law, Concubine Sun Guifei, was deeply favored by the emperor. King He had always acted domineeringly and without scruples.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have taken a liking to the envoy's family.
Just as everyone was thinking this, they saw him suddenly get up from his seat and walk straight towards Lu Liangwei.
"Madam, you have come a long way, and I would like to propose a toast to you." As he spoke, he looked directly at Lu Liangwei, his eyes were frivolous and direct, without any hesitation.
Long Yang narrowed his eyes, and before he moved his fingers, they were held down by the woman's soft hands.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. We are guests from afar, so we should respect you." Lu Liangwei seemed not to notice Bei Tanghe's frivolity, and calmly poured a glass of wine and served it to Bei Tanghe.
Beitang He didn't expect the beauty to be so generous and show no signs of timidity, so he couldn't help but be startled.
Only then did he react when he saw the wine cup being handed to him, with a tacit smile on his lips.
He who knows practical things is a hero, and this beauty is quite pragmatic.
Although the man next to her looks good, he is just an official. How can he have such a noble status
Anyone who is not blind knows how to choose.
No, he showed his interest in her, and she came to toast him enthusiastically.
Beitang He was very satisfied with the beauty's actions.
Looking at the jade-white slender hand holding the wine cup, he suddenly became distraught.
He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to touch the little hand while receiving the wine glass. Unexpectedly, he just touched the wine cup, and the beauty let go of her hand.
If he hadn't reacted in time, the wine cup would have fallen to the ground.
Beitang He was stunned, and just as he was about to frown, the beauty smiled at him.
He suddenly felt dizzy and raised his glass to drink.
Lu Liangwei saw him drink the wine, and the smile on his face deepened, "Your Majesty, please!"
Beitang He, who was still immersed in her smile, heard this and returned to his seat.
