In order to divert his attention, Lu Liangwei said to Chu Qi who was sitting alone in a corner: "Xiao Qi, you haven't come back for so many years. The emperor misses you so much. He talks about you in front of me several times every day. Please come and sit in front of me." .”
Long Yang: “…”
He had chanted it before, but why did he have to chant it several times a day when it came to her mouth
Chu Qi looked at him, then shook his head and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, I can just sit here."
Looking at the former boy, Long Yang was filled with emotion, and finally calmed down and said gently: "You and Yiner, please sit together. You two haven't seen each other for many years, and I think you have a lot to say."
Chu Qi glanced at the table where the Long Yin brothers and sisters were sitting next to each other, and his expression paused slightly, but the emperor had already spoken in person, so he couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to stand up and respond respectfully.
Seeing this, Yaoyao rolled her eyes, quickly stood up and quickly grabbed the seat next to Long Yin, and then said apologetically towards Chu Qi who was walking over: "Brother Xiao Qi, I have something important to do with the prince and the emperor." Things need to be discussed, so please sit in my seat first."
Chu Qi paused slightly and glanced at the location she pointed to.
She sat at the same table with the two sisters, Jill. If he wanted to sit in her seat, he would naturally sit with Jill.
Thinking of Jill's repulsive attitude outside the palace just now, he hesitated for a moment, curled his fingers slightly, then loosened them, and finally walked towards Jill calmly.
When Yaoyao said those words, Ji'er's body froze for a moment. When she saw Chu Qi coming over, her little face became even colder, but the tightly held hands under the table revealed that A hint of nervousness in her.
When she noticed the man sitting down next to her, she immediately tensed up. The man's scent, as cold as snow lotus, swayed in the air, then penetrated into her breath, and she suddenly felt dizzy.
She didn't know whether it was because of the heat or some other reason. She felt that her face was very hot. She knew it must be very red without even looking.
She lowered her head, not daring to look away.
The person she had been thinking about for five years was now back, but she suddenly felt timid about him.
She resisted the urge to take a good look at him and sat upright.
Soon, the banquet began, and the palace people filed in with delicious food. Then, the sound of silk and bamboo was played, and the dancers also danced in the center of the venue, adding to the festive joy of this New Year's Eve.
"Tong'er, pour the wine." Jill suddenly ordered.
"Yes, princess." Tong'er, the personal maid, responded respectfully, picked up the wine bottle, and poured her a glass.
Just as Jill was about to reach out to pick it up, a big bony hand snatched the wine glass away first.
"What do children drink?" Chu Qi frowned and looked at the girl next to him, his face full of disapproval.
I don’t understand how she can imitate drinking at such a young age.
Jill was stunned for a moment, then glared at him angrily, "Do you want to take care of me? Who are you to me?"
Chu Qi frowned even more tightly, "In short, children are not allowed to drink." As he said that, he took the wine bottle and wanted to pour the wine back.
At this time, a jade-white little hand quickly covered the wine bottle, and his voice was stubborn, revealing a hint of coquettishness, "I want to drink."
Seeing the girl's stubborn look, Chu Qi's handsome eyebrows knitted, "Jier, be obedient, it's not good for girls to drink." He lowered his voice to advise.
Jill curled her lips and wanted to retort, but looking at his serious and solemn face, she rolled her eyes and suddenly changed her words: "It's okay if I don't drink, unless you drink this glass of wine."
Chu Qi looked at her with a frown and squeezed the cup in her hand.
Jill said a little coquettishly: "Why, don't you dare to drink it? Are you afraid that I will poison it?"
His words were full of provocation.
Chu Qi looked at her strangely.
How did the well-behaved and obedient little girl in the past become so unreasonable now
He never drank alcohol, and the only time he drank, he was so drunk that he almost fell off the roof.
From then on, no matter how lonely he was, he never touched wine again.
He stared at the wine in the glass, hesitating.
