On New Year's Eve, in the morning, there are too many people in Kyoto, and now there is no one to see except for patrolling soldiers. The night banquet in the palace started at this time, Tao Ran followed Xuanyuan Yan into the carriage, and then went to the palace.
The prince's carriage is naturally not an ordinary carriage. Four horses of the same color are driving the carriage with a lot of space on the road. The inside is covered with snow-white wolf fur mats, and the table, stove, fruit plate, and snacks are all available. Tao Ran ate an orange, but felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was very strange.
Xuanyuan Yan sat opposite him with a blank face, this kind of situation is rare. Based on Tao Ran's understanding of Xuanyuan Yan, if she can keep silent like this, either she can't speak, or she is possessed by an evil spirit. In the current situation, Tao Ran feels that the second situation is more likely.
There was the clatter of horseshoes outside, and Tao Ran couldn't stand the atmosphere and said, "Well... where should I sit in the palace?"
Hum, can't you bear it? Are you finally going to beg for mercy and apologize to the king? Xuanyuan Yan almost couldn't hold back her smile, she coughed lightly, and then said solemnly: "Do you want to sit with me? If you beg me, I will..."
Before he finished speaking, Tao Ran's eyes lit up and he said, "So I can't sit with you?"
Xuanyuan Yan: "..."
The anticipation in Tao Ran's eyes was too obvious, Xuanyuan Yan couldn't deceive himself that he was deliberately angry with himself. She stared at Tao Ran angrily for a while, and then said: "You have to be with me, want to go somewhere else? Just dream."
Tao Ran frowned speechlessly, wondering what kind of evil the Xuanyuan inkstone was.
When we arrived at the palace, a court lady immediately greeted me and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Yue."
Xuanyuan Yan was in a bad mood, so he nodded casually, and the maid said: "Master Lianfei is waiting for Mr. Yetan to pass, and this servant will take Mr. Yetan away?"
Xuanyuan Yan originally didn't want to agree, but when she thought of Tao Ran saying that he didn't want to sit with her, she panicked. So regardless of Tao Ran, he walked inside on his own. Regarding the ignorance of the prince, the maid naturally did not dare to have any opinions, so she took Tao Ran to find Gu Yinglian.
Xuanyuan Yan walked inside alone, there were not all the people attending the banquet, only a few queens and sisters. As soon as Xuanyuan Yan entered, a young aunt Huang smiled and said, "Look, who is here?"
"Isn't this the flirtatious old seventh?"
"Why did Lao Qi come here by himself?"
"Can you still not know about this?" The fourth son of the royal family smiled and said, "Our seventh son is still a bachelor."
"Ahahahaha..."
The corners of Xuanyuan Yan's eyes twitched, sat down in his seat, and looked at them with a cold face.
She looked so embarrassing to make jokes anymore, and the sixth child who was as old as her said, "Why is the seventh child so stern, what's wrong with the sisters joking around?"
Xuanyuan Yan suddenly said: "How can a wild man become tender?"
Everyone was silent for a while, and then an aunt Huang said: "Old Qi, have you met a feral man?"
"What's so difficult about it?" The youngest who thought he was very experienced said, "It doesn't matter how wild a man is, tie him to the bed and pamper him once. If it doesn't work once, then pamper him a few more times. Wait until he pampers him." After being pampered and comfortable, how can he not be tender?"
The sisters looked at each other, and then let out a burst of tacit laughter: "Ahahahaha..."
The sorrow on Xuanyuan Yan's face didn't diminish at all, and he said in his heart that he was still doting on him? If you really want to do it on the bed, you can only be convinced by yourself.
Xuanyuan Yan sighed in loneliness and helplessness, and then took a sip of wine to relieve his worries. Everyone has heard about Xuanyuan Yan's situation, and Lao Liu, who was sitting beside her, whispered: "Lao Qi, you are too much, Gu Yinglian is now His Majesty's man, no matter how much you like him, you can't do it." You have to keep it in your heart, our Majesty is not a nice person."
Xuanyuan Yan rolled his eyes and said, "What eyes do you have? Do you look at Gu Yinglian and think he is a wild man?"
"Uh." Lao Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "Did you find a new co-author?"
Xuanyuan Yan drank sadly, and didn't intend to tell the matter of being angry with Tao Ran. It's already embarrassing for a prince to be angry and upset about a male concubine. If everyone finds out, he won't be ashamed to go out to meet people. If there is pain in the heart that cannot be said, a woman should bear it silently.
Xuanyuan Yan drank wine in a vicissitudes of life, and saw a man he didn't know sitting opposite Aunt Yuhuang. The man was wearing the imperial concubine's court dress, and sat beside Aunt Yu Huang with a pale face.
Xuanyuan Yan leaned against Lao Liu with the wine glass and said, "Is that Yuhuanggu's concubine? Why are you so timid?"
"Cowardly? Seventh, you are still too naive." Old Sixth smiled and talked about his aunt's gossip, "Don't look at his cute and pitiful appearance now, but he is actually fierce. He married the emperor's aunt In less than a year, I have tossed the concubines and concubines in the queen's backyard a lot, and now they are pretending to be so pitiful for anyone to see."
"No wonder Aunt Yuhuang has such an attitude towards him." Xuanyuan Yan thought for a while and said strangely: "Aunt Yuhuang just doesn't care about things like this? It took me a lot of trouble to understand what he did?"
"Hey, which wife and concubine doesn't deal with the backyard?" The sixth son shook his head and said, "Aunt Yuhuang was willing to give him face, as long as it didn't go too far, she would let him go. Who knew that he extended his hand to Huanggu's favorite place not long ago?" On the little concubine. Taking advantage of the emperor's aunt going out to do something, I broke the little concubine's leg and threw it on the mountain.
Xuanyuan Yan was a little shocked. He used to think that men were weak and pitiful and needed to be cared for carefully. He didn't expect that they could be so cruel when they were ruthless. She couldn't help but think, Ye Tan is a person who won't be subdued. If the king hadn't spoiled him a bit, he wouldn't know how pitiful he is now. In case she marries the princess in the future, and the princess doesn't like him, she won't never go out, and when she comes back and sees the little goblin Ye Tan, she will be left with a skeleton...
Alas, I don't want to, I can't think about it.
Xuanyuan Yan said: "Why do you have to marry the concubine? If you have a whole yard of concubines like me, don't you still have a good life?"
"Hahahaha..." Lao Liu laughed so hard that he leaned back and said, "Your words are reasonable, but who knows? If you haven't been married before, you can't imagine the horror of a big marriage."
Xuanyuan Yan made up her mind, she has no lofty ambitions as an idle prince, and it doesn't matter whether she marries a concubine or not. It's better to just live like this, life is pretty good now.
After talking for a while, it was almost time for people to come. Xuanyuan Mo's harem also came over, and Xuanyuan Yan saw Gu Yinglian holding Tao Ran's hand and asked him to sit with the male relatives.
The salute sounded, and the empress appeared. As soon as Xuanyuan Mo appeared, everyone stood up and saluted her.
Xuanyuan Mo said with a smile: "All the people who come here today are family members, so there is no need to be too polite, everyone can sit down."
After sitting down, he asked the waiter to bring a soup in front of him to Gu Yinglian. Everyone felt that the emperor loved Concubine Lian too much. Gu Yinglian didn't have the slightest sense of being envied and hated by others. He said happily, "Your Majesty still understands what courtiers and concubines like."
Xuanyuan Mo smiled softly and said, "You are pregnant, you should eat more."
The two showed their love openly and aboveboard, and the queen who was sitting beside her was so angry that smoke was coming from her head.
Tao Ran couldn't help but sigh as he watched, Xuanyuan Mo showed such affection, did he really have such confidence in protecting Gu Yinglian comprehensively
In fact, a large part of the reason why Xuanyuan Mo did this was that Xuanyuan Yan was also here. Whenever there was an occasion where Gu Yinglian and Xuanyuan Yan were both present, she couldn't help but want to show affection with Gu Yinglian. This feeling is so elusive, but people can't bear it at all.
Xuanyuan Yan was still looking at Tao Ran, that unconscionable thing really wasn't with him anymore, he hasn't even looked at him since he came in. I really raised a white-eyed wolf, so mad...
Tao Ran felt Xuanyuan Yan's gaze, and saw Xuanyuan Yan looking at this side with a gloomy face. Tao Ran and Gu Yinglian were sitting together, he thought that Xuanyuan Yan really couldn't let go of Gu Yinglian, and after being so stimulated by Xuanyuan Mo, his face changed like this.
This scene was obviously seen by Xuanyuan Mo, Xuanyuan Mo remained calm, and gently waved his left hand behind him. The grand lady understood and left quietly. After a while, someone circulated, "Prince Tana of the Jewel Country presented a pair of rubies, and wish my emperor long live long live long live long live."
There is even a country called gems? How rich is that gemstone? Tao Ran complained in his heart, Xuanyuan Mo said happily: "Since the prince is interested, please invite the prince to come in and celebrate the new year together."
Then I saw a maid leading a young man in a foreign costume to come in. As soon as Prince Tana came in, he knelt on the ground and paid New Year greetings to Xuanyuan Mo.
Xuanyuan Mo smiled and said: "According to the customs of our country, if you pay me New Year's greetings, I will give you a red envelope. What do you want? Just ask."
Prince Tana smiled shyly: "I don't want anything, I just want to follow my father's order and fulfill my wish of making peace with your country."
"The prince is so beautiful, but he is not worthy of the prince." Xuanyuan Mo suddenly pointed to Xuanyuan Yan and said, "It just so happens that my seventh sister is getting older and has not been married yet. I think you are very suitable."
Tao Ranxin said that's fine, it's better that Prince Tana has a lot to do. In this case, Xuanyuan Yan could bother her with a headache in her own backyard, so she didn't even have the heart to think about Gu Yinglian.
Just when he was thinking about the beauty, Xuanyuan Yan's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly came out and knelt on the ground and said, "Sister Huang, no, sister-in-law cannot marry Prince Tana."
Xuanyuan Mo's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Why?"
"Just because my younger sister has already vowed not to marry the main concubine in this life, and please ask the imperial sister to fulfill it."
Xuanyuan Mo's eyes were unpredictable, but what he was thinking was that Xuanyuan Yan was still thinking about Gu Yinglian, so he would rather resist the order than get married. She said, "You don't want to get married even if you die?"
As soon as this remark came out, all the princes present felt chills, did they have murderous intentions
But Xuanyuan Yan knew that Xuanyuan Mo would not kill herself because of this matter, otherwise the image she had managed for many years would be ruined, so Xuanyuan Yan said loudly: "My sister would rather die than get married."
