"Take it and play with it." Lin Yinan seemed not to feel the worries in Lu Zhiyao's words. He threw the dagger into Lu Zhiyao's hand with a playful smile and said, "It's a good self-defense weapon."
Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan, wondering what he was planning. He lowered his head and glanced at the things in his hands. When someone got married, they gave him a short knife. Apart from the Nangong family, no one else could do such a thing.
Lin Yinan never revealed to Lu Zhiyao what he planned to do with the sword. He just told Lu Zhiyao not to throw it away now as it would be useful in the future. Lu Zhiyao put the things away and never mentioned it again. Soon,
They received the news that it was time to enter the palace for the dinner.
Lin Yinan entered the room and saw Lu Zhiyao sitting in front of the dressing table reluctantly, letting Yudie and Wanyue comb her hair. Without moving forward, he crossed his arms and leaned on the door frame.
, after the two maids had finished, Lin Yinan walked over slowly.
Wanyue and Yudie looked at Lin Yinan's gesture and walked out of the room one after another. Lu Zhiyao looked up at Lin Yinan, frowned and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"Laughing at your unwilling expression." Lin Yinan raised his hand to smooth the wrinkles between Lu Zhiyao's eyebrows, "How many people want to enter the palace to join in the fun, but they don't have this opportunity. You have to be content."
"Stop teasing me." Lu Zhiyao knocked off Lin Yinan's hand and retorted with an evil smile: "If you like going to the palace so much, then just go to the emperor and tell us to move back to the palace."
"With you here, I can live anywhere. If you want to enter the palace, how about I go and tell you?" Lin Yinan said nonchalantly, as if Lu Zhiyao would really go and see Lin Yunlong if he nodded.
Lu Zhiyao did not dare to anger Lin Yinan, so he could only snort and turn his head to ignore him.
Lu Zhiyao picked up Rouge and looked at Lin Yinan in the bronze mirror, who was not planning to leave. He was a little confused as to how to proceed. "Go out and wait?" Lu Zhiyao suggested softly.
"I thought you would want me to stand here." Lin Yinan smiled lazily and said jokingly: "Since you don't need me to help you draw your eyebrows, then forget it."
Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Yinan's retreating back, quite dissatisfied with his obviously flirtatious behavior. Wanting him to draw his eyebrows? Lu Zhiyao felt thrilling just thinking about that kind of scene. Besides, she
It shouldn't be that good with him, right?
Lu Zhiyao casually put on light makeup, changed his clothes and left the room. After finding Lin Yinan's location, he walked over.
Lin Yinan and Ling Yi were whispering something, and noticed that Ling Yi's gaze changed. Lin Yinan also followed his gaze and looked at the person who was gradually approaching. The gaze in his eyes gradually became a little burning.
Seeing that it was already evening, Lu Zhiyao followed Lin Yinan into the palace. When he appeared in front of everyone, he was not surprised to be stared at by all kinds of eyes. Lu Zhiyao stood beside Lin Yinan with a slight smile.
Behind him, he stared straight ahead. After taking his seat, Lin Yixiang and Lu Zhiqing came slowly. Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lin Yinan beside him and asked in a low voice: "When do you think Nangong Nuo'er will be here?"
arrive?"
Lin Yinan also noticed Lin Yixiang's appearance. He lowered his head and whispered to Lu Zhiyao. The harmonious look of the two of them was noticed by many interested people, who started to think about it.
The emperor hadn't come yet, and neither had the Nangong family. So as soon as Lin Yixiang, who had just been crowned prince, appeared, he was surrounded by many ministers to congratulate him. Lin Yixiang absentmindedly said polite words and looked around the palace.
He finally fixed his gaze on Lin Yinan, who was talking to Lu Zhiyao with a slight smile.
The eyes of the two people intersected in the air, and then slowly drifted apart. Lin Yixiang led Lu Zhiqing to his seat with an expressionless face, just opposite Lin Yinan and the other two. I don't know whether this situation was caused intentionally or unintentionally. Many ministers saw this.
In his eyes, no one dared to say a word.
Nangong Nuoer appeared with the prince and the queen, her chin was raised slightly, she looked at the people in the venue coldly, and then followed Lin Yichen to sit closest to the queen.
Next to Nangong Nuo'er were Lin Yixiang and Lu Zhiqing. Lu Zhiyao watched her glance at Lu Zhiqing from time to time, and couldn't help but feel pity for his sister. Lu Zhiqing's small thoughts may not be enough in front of Nangong Nuo'er.
Nangong Nuoer was speechless. Lu Yuanzheng could not support Lu Zhiqing's reckless behavior. Even if the Ye family wanted to help Lu Zhiqing, they no longer have the strength and opportunity. If Nangong Nuoer came back for Lin Yixiang this time, then Lu Zhiqing's good will
The days are really coming to an end.
The emperor did not appear at this banquet. After all, Nangong Nuo'er was just a junior member of the Nangong family. Even if the emperor reused the Nangong family, he would not show it so obviously. Moreover, the appearance of Queen Nangong Liu Xi was enough to satisfy Nangong.
Family face.
"This girl Nuo'er hasn't returned to Beijing for a year. Not only I miss her, but also the emperor misses her. Today all the ministers can come to greet her, which makes this girl extremely happy. I see, this girl is so excited
I won’t be able to leave for a while. If you ministers have a suitable young master in your family, why not come to me and talk to me about it, or marry this girl from our family, except for the knot in my heart."
As soon as Nangong Liu Xi opened her mouth, she showed her love for Nangong Liu Xi. She mentioned Nangong Nuo'er's marriage in a surprising way, which made all the ministers chuckle and made Nangong Nuo'er blush in embarrassment.
She made a face and called her "Queen" coquettishly.
After Nangong Liuxi finished speaking, the reception banquet began. Lu Zhiyao's stomach was a little empty, and he looked straight at the food on the table, swallowed silently, and glanced at the other people next to him.
The man didn't move his chopsticks immediately.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, enjoying the song and dance performance in the center of the palace. After a while, the tense atmosphere when the Queen first arrived was gone.
The hall slowly became lively, and Nangong Nuo'er, as the protagonist, attracted everyone's attention with every move she made. She slowly ate the food in front of her, then suddenly turned her head and looked at Lin Yixiang beside her.
Lin Yixiang felt her gaze, looked at her suspiciously, and met Nangong Nuo'er's eyes.
Nangong Nuoer smiled brightly at Lin Yixiang, then looked at Lu Zhiqing who was wearing a veil over there, and whispered: "I thought you would choose what kind of woman after Xia Yao, but I didn't expect to marry such an ugly person.
.I think she’s not as good looking as the Eighth Prince’s Lu Zhiyao. What did you think at the beginning? Can you tell me?”
Nangong Nuo'er's voice was not loud, but Lin Yixiang heard every word she said clearly. Nangong Nuo'er asked directly, not expecting Lin Yixiang to tell the truth to her on this occasion. She looked past Lin Yixiang's body.
, looked at Lu Zhiqing. When Nangong Nuoer saw the panic in Lu Zhiqing's eyes, she couldn't help but sneered. This kind of woman couldn't afford to provoke the woman she wanted to do.
"It seems that after Xia Yao's death, you have become more and more hungry." Nangong Nuo'er sighed lightly and said to Lin Yixiang with an unclear smile.
Lin Yixiang knew Nangong Nuo'er and knew that her tongue had always been so vicious. In addition, he was not very interested in Lu Zhiqing now, so he didn't say anything to refute. He drank in silence, trying to get through this boring moment.
Time, go back early.
Lin Yixiang didn't speak, and Nangong Nuo'er didn't push him again and again. He turned his head honestly and started eating calmly. But when everyone was a little drunk, Nangong Nuo'er suddenly stood up and walked away.
When he arrived in front of Nangong Liu Xi, he spoke.
"Queen, Nuo'er has something to ask of me. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
"Oh? Tell me what it is." Nangong Liuxi looked at Nangong Nuoer curiously, not knowing what she wanted to do.
"Nuo'er wants to ask the Queen to grant a marriage." Nangong Nuo'er said clearly every word, "Promise me to the seventh prince. I want to marry him."
As soon as Nangong Nuoer finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. Lu Zhiyao had already expected the purpose of her return this time, so he was not too surprised. He just admired the change in Lu Zhiqing's expression. Unfortunately, the veil on Lu Zhiqing's face was not
Before taking it off, you could only see the waves in her eyes.
Nangong Liuxi did not expect that Nangong Nuoer would suddenly say such words. She looked at the firm expression on Nangong Nuoer's face, then looked at Lin Yixiang's confused eyes over there, smiled awkwardly, and asked:
"Nuo'er, have you thought about it?"
"Think about it, Nuo'er came back this time just for this matter. And my father also knew about it and agreed to it." Nangong Nuo'er's bold answer made everyone take a breath. They couldn't help but look at Lin Yixiang's face.
His expression, and Lu Zhiqing beside him.
Lu Zhiqing never imagined that her situation today would be so embarrassing. Fortunately, the veil covered her face, so her distorted expression could not be fully displayed in front of everyone.
Nangong Nuo'er's words also secretly showed everyone which side the Nangong family is on. As we all know, Lin Yixiang belongs to the prince's faction. If Nangong Nuo'er really marries Lin Yixiang, it will make Lin Yixiang even more unable to escape.
Thinking of going to the Eighth Prince who is getting stronger day by day, there is nothing he can do.
Nangong Liu Xi did not immediately respond to Nangong Nuo'er. Nangong Nuo'er stood there quietly, waiting for Nangong Liu Xi to nod. Lin Yixiang frowned, wondering what kind of medicine Nangong Nuo'er was selling in the gourd. Lu Zhiyao and
Lin Yinan enjoyed the hard-won peace and began to eat leisurely, occasionally looking at each other and smiling, watching the excitement.
Dare to say so blatantly which man he wants to marry, this is definitely Nangong Nuoer's style. Lu Zhiyao had a faint smile on his face, and his heart was slightly complicated. If he had known this, why would he have gone around such a detour in the first place?
Daquan, wouldn’t she just give this man to her? I just don’t know, when Lin Yixiang really marries Nangong Nuoer, who of the two will have the upper hand? Nangong Nuoer will definitely not be wronged, but
Her arrogant temper is not something someone like Lin Yixiang can endure for long.
