2103. Chapter 2102 Mo Lian Chapter: Weaving Dreams [31]
"Princess Beiyue? Is that the good-for-nothing Sick Yangzi?" Honglian glanced at Huang Beiyue with undisguised contempt and ridicule.
"Presumptuous!" The emperor slapped the chair heavily. How could his Beiyue allow someone to say that to her?
Honglian was shocked. In the past, even if her father didn't like her, he would never speak to her so harshly.
She bit her lip and glared at Huang Beiyue even more viciously: "Huh! Why is my father so cruel? I'm not the only one who said this about her. Who in the entire Linhuai City doesn't know that she is..."
"Honglian!" the queen said hurriedly and winked at her, "Okay, now that you are here, please sit down."
She knew very well that the Emperor's feelings for Huang Beiyue were beyond anything and could not be insulted by anyone.
If Honglian said something wrong today, I'm afraid the emperor would not be lenient.
Honglian pouted, snorted, and walked among a group of princesses. The princesses quickly stood up and offered their seats to her. Apparently no one dared to offend her.
The emperor's face brightened slightly, he held Huang Beiyue's hand and patted it gently before saying: "Let the banquet begin!"
Singers and dancers immediately came up to perform their skills, with silk and bamboo orchestral music, graceful dances, colorful hair, and cheers, which immediately filled the entire Xiaguang Hall.
Many nobles went to toast Liu Che, but Zi Yan loyally stopped them.
"The prince is young and cannot drink. Please forgive me."
"Hahaha, of course, of course!" The nobles drank three glasses of wine by themselves. With Wang Ziche's strength and status, even if he was just a child, he still wanted to curry favor with him.
The banquet was very lively. Huang Beiyue was eating grapes and looking down coldly as waves of people walked towards Liu Che, but he didn't even change his expression from the beginning to the end.
His godless eyes didn't know where he was looking. He was silent, trapped in his own world, and incompatible with the lively and extravagant surroundings.
King Xiaoyao also walked over with a wine glass in hand, an elegant smile on his face, bent down in front of Liu Che, and asked with a smile: "Che'er, do you still remember me?"
Zi Yan raised his head and smiled friendly at King Xiaoyao, obviously he knew him.
Only then did Liu Che's silent expression change slightly. He nodded slightly and said, "King Xiaoyao."
"I haven't seen you for many years." King Xiaoyao smiled, picked up the teacup and handed it to him, "How about having a drink with me instead of tea?"
Liu Che nodded, put the teacup to his lips, and took a sip. King Xiaoyao also drank the wine in one gulp and laughed.
"I thought Prince Che ignored everyone. Since he drank the wine offered by King Xiaoyao, why should he drink from this princess too."
Honglian came over at some point, and after King Xiaoyao had finished drinking, he pushed him away unceremoniously.
"Princess..." Zi Yan raised his head and wanted to speak, but was glared at by Hong Lian, "I didn't talk to you, princess. Who told you to speak?"
Zi Yan blushed, but this was in Nanyi Country, and he still knew not to be too arrogant.
Hong Lian also picked up the teacup, but calmly poured the tea inside, replaced it with wine, and handed it to Liu Che.
"Prince Che won't fail to give face to this princess, right?"
"Princess Honglian, Prince Che is young, so don't force others to do anything." King Xiaoyao said from the side.
"So this is how the Song Dynasty behaves?" Hong Lian snorted, "It's nothing more than that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Che picked up the teacup. He didn't know there was wine in it, so he drank it as soon as he raised his head. As a result, he choked and coughed all the time, and a little blush appeared on his pale face.
