At the foot of the high platform in the great hall, all the beautiful women were dancing elegantly, as if they were dancing in the wind or dancing in the snow. The musician's exquisite music, slender and shallow, captivates the heart.
This act of Wu Mengzi's < Spring Banquet Diagram > had truly been seamlessly arranged by the Prince Jin. It was more than enough to surpass His Majesty's Pear Garden musicians and singers.
"Empress Dowager, look ~" Leng Yuxin raised her orchid like fingers, and gracefully covered half of the smiling face with a slender fingernail. She approached the noble Jinghe beside her, and looked at the beauties on the stage.
Jinghe's benevolent face had a kind smile the entire time.
The singers were dancing on their long sleeves in a seductive manner that was enough to attract everyone present.
The man in the host's seat glanced at the empty seat beside him, and a cold light flashed through his indifferent eyes.
— —
Luo Shang could only hear sadness in everyone's eyes. She put her hands in front of her and walked around the side of the jungle, unconsciously returning to her seat while everyone else was around her.
Just as she sat down, she heard Leng Shaoyu's mild voice asking.
"Where did he go?"
He did not look at Luo Shang, his gaze was the same as everyone else, focused on the area beneath the stage.
Luo Shang thought, this man, Leng Shaoyu, was extremely tyrannical. When they were having the feast just now, Prince Han's words had already made him unhappy. She absolutely could not let him feel any dissatisfaction. Otherwise, what he would do was far beyond what she could imagine.
Luo Shang tried her best to prevent herself from revealing any emotions that would make him suspicious. She pretended to be cheerful, her eyes shining brightly without a single trace of trembling.
"I was feeling a bit uncomfortable, so I just went out for a walk."
Her slender fingers slowly slid across the cup of tea on the table. Suddenly, a large hand gently grabbed her.
"The tea's cold, go brew another cup for the wangfei." Leng Shaoyu instructed the servant beside him.
Luo Shang looked at him in shock, she did not know what kind of medicine he was hiding, but she had just ridiculed her, and now she was being nice to her again. Or could it be that just because she was used to his torture, the tiniest thing would be sufficient to comfort her?
The man still didn't look at her. His indifferent gaze, along with every perfect outline of his face, were all matched by endless handsomeness and charm.
The wind was light and the clouds were light. At some point, the noon sun had turned and slanted to the side. The breeze blew the peonies around the fence wall, and the fragrance filled the whole garden.
The pink and tender petals of the tree floated without order in the wind. Wherever they blew, they sank.
"Your Highness." Nanny Ma walked to the stage, her eyes filled with contempt and complacency. She glanced at Luo Shang, then walked to the side of the main man.
Luo Shang didn't know what she had said to Leng Shaoyu, but the man's pupils had darkened, and his originally expressionless face had become somewhat cold.
The moment he looked at herself, Luo Shang hurriedly turned her gaze.
"The empress dowager is returning to the palace, you can go prepare first." he said flatly.
"Yes, this servant will go now." Nanny Ma responded as she respectfully left. Before leaving, she did not forget to look at Luo Shang, as if telling her that the king would not forgive her.
The red sun dyed the west side of the sky red. The smooth top of the corrugated roof was imprinted with a dazzling fiery red light. The entire palace was shining with a dazzling golden light.
The sounds of dancing music and dancing gradually faded away. The carriage outside the palace and the journey had long been prepared, so she only waited for the empress dowager to return to the capital. Only then did the Maidservant servants by her side stand up respectfully. Following the shout of the still older eunuch, "Everyone kneel down and kowtow, the empress dowager will return to the capital — —"
"We servants respectfully send you off, Esteemed Empress Dowager. May the Empress live a thousand years!"
"We servants respectfully send you off, Esteemed Empress Dowager, the Empress!"
"Childrens and others respectfully send mother." Leng Shaoyu and the others bowed, and everyone kneeled on the ground respectfully, until Jinghe, supported by the mama, got into the palanquin.
"Royal Grandmother, don't worry. I will obediently follow your orders and quickly return to your side." Young Lord shouted towards the window of the palanquin. It was with great difficulty that he begged Grandma Huang for so long, that she decided to bring him to the Prince Jin Palace. He did not want to leave so soon, an elder brother whom he had not seen for a year. Furthermore, now that there was a beautiful sister-in-law who was as beautiful as a flower, he was even more reluctant to leave.
The old wet nurse leaned her ear against the window of the sedan chair and walked over to the people standing on the stairs with a smile on her face. The empress dowager spoke out. Prince Jin and Princess Jin loved each other dearly. She felt extremely gratified. Prince Han has to change his past bad habits and quickly establish himself to serve his country. "
"The old mama looked at the two women, her eyes narrowing into slits." This was entrusted to her by the empress dowager to be handed over to the princess and princess consort. "The empress dowager hopes that the princess will calm her heart as soon as possible, and the empress dowager also specifically requested that the imperial concubine must bear the heavy burden of being the Palace Mistress, serve the prince well, and protect our Wu Zhou."
With that, she handed the two exquisite jade bracelets over to Luo Shang and Leng Yuxin.
Luo Shang wanted to reject it. This kind of jade bracelet was priceless, how could she receive such a great gift, not to mention the relationship between her and Leng Shaoyu … But Leng Yuxin stopped her hand, only to see Leng Yuxin shaking her head.
Only then did Luo Shang retract her hand, and replied with a smile: "I'll have to trouble Aunt to help me pass on my message to Esteemed Empress Dowager, thank you for her kindness, this subject will definitely … "Serve your highness well."
"With an imperial concubine's words, the empress dowager will definitely feel at ease." Mammy nodded.
A large group of people left until the martial gate disappeared. Only then, everyone got up.
Leng Yuxin's body had not completely recovered so she drank a few cups of wine in the afternoon. Now that she was dizzy and her brain was hot, she had no choice but to return to the South River Academy to rest with the support of her servant girl.
Young Lord heard Mo Yun say that there was a white horse that could travel thousands of miles in a day, galloping like the clouds in the sky. Belo naturally loved horses as much as Prince Jin and viewed them as treasures.
The lively and spectacular scenery before had turned silent in the blink of an eye.
"Prince Han!" A servant of the Han Residence rushed over and whispered something into Leng Mufei's ears. He only heard that Leng Mufei's tone had changed. Is that true? "
He had originally planned to have a good fight with Prince Jin since he had lost so miserably last time. He had wanted to take advantage of today's disgrace to reject him, but he did not want to encounter some troublesome matters that he needed to personally take care of.
"Truly unfortunate. Today, I was unable to see my elder brother submit. Another day, I will definitely have a showdown with him." I have some things to take care of, so I won't disturb my brother … "I'm with sister-in-law now." He smiled, raised his long, thin eyebrows, and turned away.
Besides the few servants guarding outside the manor, only the two of them were left. There were a few leaves floating down the steps, carrying the feeling of the wind as they slowly moved.
Since the empress dowager had already left, this scene was also over.
Luo Shang turned around.
He grabbed his arm and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"
"The show is over, what more does Prince Jin want?" Luo Shang raised her eyes and looked at him, her proud and lovable face facing the man.
Leng Shaoyu's eyes instantly narrowed. How much did he hate her kind of expression and proud face? Every time she looked at him with such dignity that had long since disappeared, Leng Shaoyu would always want to tear her to shreds and torture her to the end.
He pulled forcefully, pulling Luo Shang into her embrace.
Leng Shaoyu's deep and magnetic male voice softly sounded out in her ear: "Since this is a play, we'll have to complete it."
His voice, that curvy lips, and that pair of eyes of the man who stared at him filled with lust caused Luo Shang to have no choice but to struggle.
But knowing that struggling was useless, Luo Shang sneered. She raised his eyes and looked at him, who was standing above him, and said with a tone full of ridicule: "Leng Shaoyu, you will only force me. You will never be able to get everything you want!"
The man raised his long and narrow eyes, revealing a meaningful smile. Within those black starry eyes, there was a color that no one was able to guess what it meant. His messy hair recklessly flew in the air. His eyebrows that were slightly raised looked as if they had been dyed with thick ink, causing his black eyes to look even deeper and deeper.
Luo Shang's quivering eyes did not avoid his gaze in the slightest as she stared at him.
However, Leng Shaoyu released her with his hands behind his back, turned around, and was about to leave. However, before he left, he said with a casual smile. This King asks you to come over right now, but of course, you can refuse. "
His words were like a formless blade, fiercely stabbing the incomparably sharp blade point into Luo Shang's heart. Threatening, was he going to use Luo Family to threaten her again? What was it this time?
Luo Shang did not dare to reject, and could only let him take the lead. Hearing his words, she followed him into the side room.
With a "bang", he kicked the door shut. Then, Leng Shaoyu stood by the side of the tent and extended his arms out.
"What are you waiting for, hurry up and come over here," His voice was filled with the iciness of an order. From top to bottom, other than the cold, there was nothing else that Luo Shang could think of to describe her malicious intent.
She strode over.
Without looking at him, he reached out and untied the gold belt around the man's waist, then took off his sleek satin gown.
Her movements were delicate and light. Her abominable and arrogant face was so beautiful. A pair of clean and clear eyes emitted her original proud, aloof, and captivating charm.
The dress revealed a large area of snow-white skin at the nape of her neck, all the way to her pale, fragrant shoulders. If the chest was not covered by the exquisite jade, that seductive and alluring charm could easily steal a person's soul.
Leng Shaoyu squinted his eyes and stared at her, raising his eyebrows, he extended his hand out and grabbed the girl's chin, then asked: "Tell me, who have you seen?"
He was tall and slender with his neat and elegant silk clothing, and his every move exuded the aura of a king.
Being forced by the power of his hand, Luo Shang's lower jaw was already imprinted with a red mark.
"Don't say it?" Leng Shaoyu squinted his eyes and frowned.
"I didn't see anyone."
Hearing her reply, the man sneered. He pursed his lips and dragged her to the side of the table.
With a palm, Leng Shaoyu threw the teacup on the table to the ground, and there was the sound of something shattering. He pressed her down on the table and played with her hair, calmly saying to her, "Who gave you the courage to lie in front of this king? "Hmm?"
