"Go back to the palace!" Yan Yuning gave Xuan Yanyu a look, left him and strode forward.
She didn't understand why no matter what she said, he didn't believe that she would not leave.
Xuan Yanyu: “?”
——
The sky at dusk seemed to be covered by rice paper stained with ink and gradually darkened.
Inside the palace, the rosewood table was filled with dishes, the musicians were plucking the strings of their instruments, and the dancers with bells tied around their waists were dancing gracefully in the hall, twisting their slender waists.
The ministers and their wives admired the dance steps with smiles and whispers. Pei Shutong stared at the man in the bright yellow dragon robe sitting on the high seat while watching the dancers.
He held the wine glass with his delicate bony fingers and took a sip, his Adam's apple rolling slightly as he swallowed.
Lazy and seductive, it was extremely attractive to her. Pei Shutong swallowed unconsciously, staring at the man in the high position without moving her eyes away.
At this moment, a sly smile appeared on Xuan Yanyu's dazzling face. Pei Shutong watched him hand the wine glass, which he had taken a sip of, to Yan Yuning's lips. Yan Yuning frowned and patted his hand.
He was not annoyed. He smiled and moved closer to Yan Yuning, whispering something in her ear. Yan Yuning's expression changed again and again.
The dancers in the hall were clearly dressed beautifully and dancing sexy steps, and many ministers couldn't take their eyes off them. Why, why didn't he even look at them, and his eyes were only on Yan Yuning?
Pei Shutong turned his gaze to Yan Yuning again. The woman was wearing a red phoenix robe, with an exquisite hairpin swaying slightly in her hair, revealing a fair neck, long eyelashes, a pair of bright and beautiful eyes, and a beautiful face without a single flaw.
There was a smile on her lips and her eyes were curved, making it hard for people to look away.
There is no doubt that Yan Yuning is indeed very good-looking.
Pei Shutong's gaze swept towards Xuan Yuncheng again. The little guy looked just like Xuan Yanyu, dressed in bright yellow clothes. His little face was slightly different from Xuan Yanyu's, with red lips, beautiful teeth, delicate eyebrows and eyes. He was half leaning on a rosewood chair, turning a pastry in his little hands. He was so cute that people couldn't help but want to hug him.
Noticing the dancer leaving the hall, Pei Shutong panicked and looked away.
"Today's banquet is held, everyone please don't be too reserved, dear ministers and ladies, please enjoy yourselves. The smooth progress of the court and the well-being of the people are inseparable from every minister present. I, myself, also cannot do without the ladies who take good care of the inner house. I respectfully wish you all that Xuan Zhao's kingdom will be forever stable and prosperous forever."
Yan Yuning took the remaining half glass of wine from Xuan Yanyu and drank it all in one gulp.
The spicy wine filled her throat and Yan Yu Ning tried hard to hold back a cough, maintaining a dignified look on her face. Her embroidered shoes under the table stepped hard on Xuan Yanyu's boots.
Are these the words she should say!!!
She pursed her lips, the tip of her tongue was numbed by the alcohol, and her head was a little dizzy.
The ministers and their wives stood up and toasted, "We wish His Majesty the King of Xuan good health and His Majesty the Queen of Xuan good health. We will do our duty faithfully."
"We, your servants, wish His Majesty the King Xuan and His Majesty the Queen Xuan good health and happiness, and may Xuan Zhao prosper forever."
They were standing below, and the silk brocade on the high imperial table did not hang down to the ground at all. They could clearly see Yan Yuning's brocade phoenix embroidered shoes stepping on Xuan Yanyu's black satin boots embroidered with golden grass patterns.
"It's a family dinner, everyone please feel free to eat." Yan Yu Ning smiled appropriately.
"Yes, Queen Xuan is right." The ladies replied with a smile, their laughter was so soft and piercing.
As the music started, another wave of dancers lifted the imperial curtain and walked into the hall with light steps. The faint scent of rouge also spread in the hall.
Xuan Yanyu looked at Yan Yuning, who had just drunk some wine and whose cheeks were flushed, and said with a burning gaze, "It looks good."
Yan Yuning glanced at a group of dancers in green skirts, and locked her sight on a woman who was surrounded by a group of dancers. She was spinning and jumping with a waist as soft as a willow branch and sparkling eyes. She smiled leisurely, "Yes, she is beautiful. She is so beautiful!!"
The man stared at Yan Yuning's red lips with burning eyes. The words "I want to kiss you" flashed through his mind. His Adam's apple moved and he said it without hesitation.
