Chapter 15 Palace Banquet to Confer the Concubine
Li Jinxuan looked puzzled, not knowing why Li Jinchen suddenly asked him this question.
But he still waved his hand and let the two men behind him retreat.
"Of course I like her, what's the matter? Are you going to give her to me?"
"He has already had a relationship with me." Li Jinchen said with a complicated expression.
"Huh!?" Li Jinxuan looked at Li Jinchen in shock.
"Don't you dislike him? How did you do it?"
Can you have a relationship with someone you don't like?
"He drugged me." Li Jinchen simply told Li Jinxuan about the matter.
"Wow, he really deserves to be the Regent King." Li Jinxuan covered her chest. What should she do if this made her like him more?
"But why did you tell me this?" Li Jinxuan said that she didn't want to know about it.
"It's nothing, I just have no one to talk to, so I can only tell you."
Li Jinxuan: "..."
"Let's go, the palace banquet is about to begin." Li Jinchen straightened his clothes and extended his hand to Li Jinxuan.
Li Jinxuan supported him, and the two walked towards Rende Hall together.
When the two arrived at Rende Hall, Xie Anci had already sat next to the main seat.
Everyone saw Li Jinchen and Li Jinxuan and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Long live the emperor."
"Long live the princess."
"Stand up." Li Jinchen sat in the middle with a smile on his face.
Xie Anci sat on Li Jinchen's right, and Li Jinxuan sat on Li Jinchen's left.
Li Jinchen looked at the seats below. Gu Lingyu did not attend the palace banquet today.
He still had to stay in the capital, so naturally he had no time to come.
Li Jinchen was a little disappointed. Gu Lingyu came back once after so many years, but he couldn't attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet this year.
The banquet began, with singing and dancing, and endless wine and delicacies.
Lu Yunzheng and Nangong Boyu sat on the right and left of the first row below respectively.
After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere began to warm up.
Nangong Boyu stood up and said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the atmosphere is hot. Why don't we let my daughter dance for the emperor and everyone?"
Xie Anci glanced at Nangong Boyu, and Nangong Boyu's neck stiffened.
With so many people here, Nangong Boyu didn't believe that Xie Anci would reject him directly.
Xie Anci sneered. This old guy wanted to put his daughter into the harem again.
Li Jinchen obviously knew what Nangong Boyu meant, and subconsciously looked at Xie Anci.
Xie Anci took a sip of the wine and said nothing.
Seeing that Li Jinchen did not refuse, Nangong Boyu clapped his hands and let his daughter Nangong Ya come in. Nangong
Ya was dressed in red, with a graceful figure, and her eyes were fixed on Li Jinchen who was in the upper position.
Xie Anci looked at her with a smile. He
is so brave, aren't you afraid that he will do something?
The beautiful sound of the piano rang out, and Nangong Ya danced to the sound of the piano.
The sleeves danced lightly, and the elegant face attracted people to look at her frequently.
Everyone was attracted by her dancing and watched intently.
Li Jinchen clenched his fists, feeling very nervous.
Li Jinxuan had a look of watching a show.
This year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is interesting and worth coming here for.
After the dance, Nangong Ya bowed and looked at Li Jinchen affectionately: "Your Majesty."
Li Jinchen looked serious and nodded slightly: "Stand up."
Nangong Boyu took the opportunity to say: "What does the emperor think of my daughter?"
Li Jinchen frowned.
What?
Do you want to die?
In this situation, isn't he trying to force him to take Nangong Ya into the harem?
Does he think Xie Anci is a vegetarian?
Li Jinchen glanced at Xie Anci, who lowered his eyes and couldn't see the expression on his face.
Seeing that Li Jinchen didn't speak for a long time, Nangong Ya couldn't help but said:
"Your Majesty, I have heard that Your Majesty is wise and brave. Today, I am even more attracted to you. I am willing to serve Your Majesty."
As soon as Nangong Ya finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the palace.
This Nangong Ya is really bold. She is not ashamed in front of so many people.
Isn't she afraid that the emperor will directly refuse?
But Nangong Boyu is on the side of the emperor now. If the emperor does not agree and does not give the left prime minister this face, then the emperor will lose an arm in the future?
Sure enough, Li Jinchen was embarrassed.
Xie Anci, who usually jumped out first, was as quiet as a chicken at this time.
The atmosphere became weird.
Nangong Ya looked at Li Jinchen with burning eyes, and Li Jinchen cast a look for help to Xie Anci.
After a long time, Nangong Boyu couldn't help but break the awkward atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, my daughter is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After entering the harem, she will definitely be able to relieve your worries and boredom."
Li Jinchen coughed lightly, "What does the Regent think?"
Seeing this, some people sighed and some laughed.
The emperor can't even decide his own lifelong affairs? He still has to ask the Regent?
It is said that the emperor's power is weak now, and it seems to be true.
Xie Anci put down the wine glass after hearing this, and looked at Nangong Ya with a smile.
A flash of disgust flashed in Nangong Ya's eyes.
Xie Anci is really shameless. A man must occupy the emperor. If
she enters the palace, she will definitely be able to give birth to children for the emperor and manage the harem.
"Since Miss Nangong wants to enter the palace to serve the emperor so much, then the emperor should fulfill her wish."
Xie Anci said nonchalantly, holding his chin.
His words shocked everyone present.
Has the Regent King changed his personality?
Li Jinchen's face darkened, wondering what happened to Xie Anci today.
In the past, Xie Anci would never allow anyone to mention such a thing, but now he said it so generously.
Nangong Boyu and Nangong Ya did not expect Xie Anci to give in, and they stood out with joy on their faces.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Nangong Boyu quickly seized the opportunity, he did not believe that the emperor would still refuse.
"In this case, Miss Nangong will be appointed as the noble concubine and enter the Yade Palace." Li Jinchen announced directly as if he was being angry.
I don't know what Xie Anci is up to, since Xie Anci did not help him refuse, he would just accept it.
Li Jinxuan thought it was funny and didn't think Nangong Ya would gain anything by entering the palace.
Once you enter this vortex of power, it will be difficult to get out.
Nangong Ya didn't care and immediately responded happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The other ministers looked regretful when they saw this. If they had known earlier, they would have brought their daughters here to be married to the emperor.
No one expected that the Regent King would give in.
Li Jinchen waved his hand and let the people leave.
After that, he was sulking and didn't care about Xie Anci anymore.
Xie Anci didn't know why he always had a bad premonition and always felt that something would happen today.
Today was clearly the day that Li Jinchen promised him to go to the festival together, and he should be happy.
But after meeting Gu Lingyu, he calmed down, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger.
The palace banquet, which made some people happy and some worried, ended like this. Li Jinchen went back to the bedroom first with a gloomy face.
Xie Anci followed slowly.
Li Jinxuan wanted to watch the excitement, but when she thought of the handsome men in her mansion waiting for her alone, she decided to go back and accompany them.
