"Forget it, how can I bear to blame you?" Nangong Yu turned his head to look at the woman beside his. His acting skills were quite realistic.
Qi He couldn't help but feel envious of the loving couple. He walked over to Nangong Yu's side and smiled sweetly, "I knew that Imperial Uncle would say in the imperial court that you like Imperial Aunt very much."
Shangguan Wan quietly snuggled up to Nangong Yu, not saying a word. Did she really like her? Mhmm, I like it so much that I want to kill her and feed her to the wolves.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan wished she could quickly find the Aral Dawn Wood and leave this troublesome place. More importantly, she wished she could leave this man with a human's face and a beast's heart.
Nangong Yu's brows slightly creased, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, "Wei He, what is it that you're talking about?"
Without hesitation, Qi He replied, "What else could it be? It's the grand ceremony."
Nangong Yu unconsciously cast a glance at the woman beside her, only to see that she didn't seem to care at all.
What was she thinking? For such a huge matter, she acted as if nothing had happened when she heard about it. Was she really so indifferent to fame and fortune? He didn't understand her.
Qi He continued to speak, "I've heard that you've saved a lot of time and money by ordering the Ministry of Rites and Rites. Qi He thought you were joking. The more grand and magnificent I've sealed it, the better, so that other countries can see my grandeur!"
Qi He had always been straightforward in front of Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu also liked how direct she was, but today, she had gone a little too far.
"How could he not know that Jun Wu Yi was lying? Since I have opened my mouth, how can I take it back?" Nangong Yu shook his sleeves, his expression solemn.
Qi He knew that his royal uncle had been angered, so he lowered his head and did not make a sound. He stood on the spot, twisting his fingers.
Seeing that the atmosphere wasn't right, Shangguan Wan hastily tried to smooth things over. She turned to Nangong Yu and said, "Qi He is still just a child, don't blame her, Your Majesty."
Since she had already said so, the Emperor should have acted a bit more magnanimously. With a slightly angered expression, he spoke in a softer voice, "The matters in the imperial court are not something that a little girl like you can handle. I should really advise my royal brother to teach you well."
Qi He nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, and smiled apologetically.
Shangguan Wan helped Nangong Yu to sit down and served him a cup of tea. With a sweet and clear voice, she said, "Your Majesty, please enjoy your meal."
This was only in front of outsiders. If the two of them were to get along in private, it was likely that they would have already begun.
Nangong Yu received it and removed the porcelain cover to confirm that there was no mistake. Only then did he relax and drink.
Look, he was wary of her.
At this moment, Qiao Xin came in with a plate of lychee and reported, "Your Majesty, Empress, Princess, this was sent over by the Internal Affairs Bureau."
Nangong Yu put down his teacup and smiled, "I remember Qi He loves eating lychee, so let's eat a little more now."
Wei He was a bit depressed at first, but now that he had something to eat, his worries were cleared. He put the lychee one by one into his mouth. That greedy look of his was really pleasing.
Nangong Yu shot a look at Shangguan Wan. She immediately understood and personally peeled the lychee, then put the fruit into his mouth, smiling all the way.
Very good, really very good. The scene was very harmonious and there was nothing wrong with it, so much so that Qi He's heart was about to be melted by this scene.
"Seeing royal uncle and aunt like this, I can't help but think of Emperor Tang Ming and Imperial Concubine Yang." Vi tilted her head as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Shangguan Wan held back her laughter. Tang Ming Huang and the imperial concubine were different, they were the emperors who fed Litchi to their concubines, how could they be like this? They served him instead.
Nangong Yu was mumbling, his voice was frivolous as he said, "The Empress and I need to love each other for a hundred years, how can the Imperial Concubine Ming compare?"
These words were spoken very tyrannically and with boundless tenderness. If Shangguan Wan didn't know that he was pretending, perhaps she would really be moved from the bottom of her heart.
When Nangong Yu saw her expressionless face, he calmly asked in a probing tone, "Empress, what do you think?"
Shangguan Wan avoided his burning eyes, lowered her eyes and peeled off the lychee in her hands. "Your majesty is right."
After Litchi was done eating, Qi He had a face full of satisfaction.
"Imperial Aunt, I won't disturb your love. Leave with the fastest speed possible." Before anyone could recover, Qi He ran off with Rice Ball in his arms.
Seeing that the opportunity had arrived, Nangong Yu waved his hand, gesturing for the servant to leave.
In this way, only a man and a woman remained in the enormous main hall.
"Shangguan Wan, how dare you! Speak!" What did you do to me last night? " Nangong Yu slammed the table, his expression dark.
He hated being kept secret. Last night, for some reason, he fell asleep for some reason, allowing this woman to take advantage of him.
Shangguan Wan crossed her arms in front of her chest, straightened her neck and replied faintly, "Nothing, I'm not interested in the Emperor's dragon body at all."
When Nangong Yu heard this, he became even angrier, but he still suppressed it.
She had no interest in him? He didn't know if he should be happy or worried.
"Then what was that scream last night?" Nangong Yu's pupils shrank, his face was as cold as jade.
Little Lin didn't have the guts to lie to him.
Shangguan Wan didn't understand what she meant, but she asked with slight anger, "What's that?"
Nangong Yu thought that he had broken through everything. He suddenly stood up and slowly approached her. He resentfully said, "That ecstatic scream, it can't be a ghost, can it?"
