"Long live the emperor (Emperor Yue)!" All the ministers knelt on the ground, A Luo and Leng Yichen saluted, while Nan Han just bowed lightly. Anyway, there were so many people kneeling that no one noticed her.
"Stand up!" A clear voice escaped from the man's thin and sexy lips. His eyes turned and Yue Nanxuan anxiously focused his gaze on Prince A Luo. He had more important things to do today, so naturally he would settle the marriage of A Luo and Nan Han first.
"Prince A'luo, I wonder how you're getting used to living in Yuecheng?" With a smile on his face, Yue Nanxuan behaved properly, completely unlike his usual unruly appearance.
Prince A Luo slowly stood up, bowed slightly and smiled elegantly, "Yue City is a place of outstanding people and talents. A Luo likes it very much. I have learned a lot in recent times and benefited a lot!"
Yue Nanxuan nodded, turned around and glanced at "Nanhan" with a pointed look, "What about the marriage..."
"Nan Han" just curled her lips lightly and said nothing. Instead, A Luo straightened up gracefully and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, there is no hurry. A Luo and the princess have just met and are just getting to know each other. A Luo is willing to give the princess some time!"
Yue Nanxuan was stunned. Why is the situation reversed today? Last time, it was Nanhan who was clamoring and refusing to marry, but now she is silent. It is Prince A Luo who is refusing.
"Your Majesty, since the prince and the princess are not in a hurry, Your Majesty should not be in a hurry at this moment. It would be good to let the two young people have more contact!" The person who spoke was Lan Mu. He had received so much money from Leng Yichen, so he naturally understood something and made suggestions at the right time.
Jiang Yan snorted in displeasure, "Your Majesty, this marriage is a matter of national importance. Why is Prince A Luo shirking his responsibility?"
When Lan Mu heard this, he knew that Jiang Yan was coming for him, so he refused to accept it.
He said angrily: "Prime Minister Zuo, you may have forgotten that last time it was the princess..."
"Alright, alright!" Yue Nanxuan waved his hands in annoyance. He had wanted to quickly resolve this marriage so that he could play the role of the royal guard and wait for the beauty to take the bait. How could he be in the mood to watch these two old guys quarreling with each other?
"Let's leave it at that for now. Prince A Luo is in no hurry to leave anyway, so there's plenty of time!" He waved his hand, "The Lantern Festival has officially begun. Come on, bring out the treasures I've carefully prepared!"
As soon as Yue Nanxuan finished speaking, Yue Nanchen was seen walking in front with a high spirit. The guards behind him each held a tray in their hands and placed it on a slightly higher table in the middle of the two rows of low coffee tables.
Yue Nanchen waved his hand, and all the guards unrolled the red cloth in unison. In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the Qizhan Linglong at the front, followed by a burst of admiring sounds.
Shui Yao's position was right opposite Qizhan Linglong, and the shape of the precious lantern could be seen clearly under the bright candlelight.
The lamp has seven sides, and each side is engraved with intricate patterns without any repetition. Especially the wick, which is actually a goose egg-sized luminous pearl, and the light it emits instantly drowns out all the candlelight.
However, the lamp emitted a cold glow, and its heavy color made people feel heavy in their hearts.
Shui Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, knowing that this was indeed a rare treasure, but it had fallen into the hands of people who did not understand it, and its charm was drowned.
It seemed that everyone present only noticed the light emitted by the night pearl, but did not pay any attention to the patterns on the lamp.
Shuiyao had been to Tibet and studied Tibetan culture. The patterns on the Seven-flowered Linglong were more like the mantras of Tibetan Buddhism. It was a pity that she was only going to smuggle
There is no detailed study of the cultural relics.
"Nanhan..." Yue Nanxuan called Nanhan's name several times, but "Nanhan" seemed to be staring at Qizhan Linglong in a daze.
Yue Nanchen turned to look at "Nanhan". There was indeed something strange about "Nanhan" tonight.
He naturally knew the relationship between Nan Han and Leng Yichen. Every time Leng Yichen was present, Nan Han would always secretly glance at him and then smile foolishly, but tonight, she seemed to be more interested in the treasure!
"Princess, the emperor is calling you!" Xiaoyu reminded Shuiyao softly from behind.
Shui Yao was stunned, surprised that she had been distracted. She felt that the intricate patterns seemed to have some magic that sucked her in. She had actually been distracted!
She had received professional training and her willpower was unmatched by ordinary people, but she didn't expect that she would be almost confused by a lamp. When Yue Nanxuan talked to her, she was still upset.
"Just accompany Prince A Luo around. Although this villa is not as grand as the imperial palace, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is full of rare flowers and plants. It also has a unique charm.
The natural charm refers to the fact that this place is very suitable for romance, but it is true that this villa is decorated like a garden, it is simple and elegant, it is a good place.
Shuiyao nodded, and before leaving, she looked back at the treasure lamp, and made up her mind to steal it. There were very few things that Lan Shuiyao liked!
The banquet soon ended, and the ministers were enjoying themselves while appreciating the treasures. Gradually, they gathered in groups of three or five, shouting and chatting, and those treasures were neglected.
Shui Yao and A Luo walked along the way. A Luo did not speak, but just lowered his eyelids. His eyes were melancholy and calm, like a gust of wind, unpredictable.
"I'm not leaving!" Shui Yao said lazily, sitting down in the flower hall in front of her, facing the exquisite Qizhan
Direction, and start to lay out a strategic map in your mind.
When Luo heard Shui Yao's voice, a strange look of joy appeared on his face. He sat in front of Shui Yao, looked at him carefully, but his eyes became darker and darker.
It was so strange that he actually heard Shui'er's voice. Was it an illusion or was it because he missed her so much?
"Meow!" Two cat meows were heard in the distance. Luo's eyes darkened, knowing that it was a secret signal. He saw that "Nanhan" seemed to be in deep thought about something, so he quietly stood up and walked away.
No matter how light A' Luo's movements were, Shui Yao still felt them. But now she wished A' Luo would leave quickly so that she could take action.
So she pretended that she saw nothing, but... when the man in the silver robe approached, Shui Yao knew that she wanted to take action and get rid of this man!
"Nanhan!" Leng Yichen smiled charmingly. He sat in front of her and gently grabbed her hand. "Are you angry with me? Why did you ignore all the information I sent you?"
Shui Yao didn't say anything, afraid that her voice would arouse Leng Yichen's suspicion. She stood up coldly, turned around and wanted to go back.
Leng Yichen was stunned. He had no idea what had made Nan Han angry. However, he couldn't let something he had carefully prepared for so long go to waste.
He stepped forward and held Nanhan's arm, "Princess, we don't have many chances left. If we miss today, I'm afraid..."
Shui Yao was held by him and could not leave by force, so she lowered her voice and imitated Nan Han's voice and tone and said: "Do you really love me?"
Her question stumped Leng Yichen. He seemed to realize something and whispered, "Who told you something or...Princess, don't you believe me?"
Shui Yao curled her lips and smiled, with a cold and hard look in her eyes.
Leng Yichen was stunned. He stared at the woman's figure gradually going away, and hope was gradually peeling away from his heart.
"Prince..." Liu Xiu, who had been waiting quietly on the side, stepped forward, only to see Leng Yichen waving his hand, "Liu Xiu, I won't give up like this, no!"
Liu Xiu sighed softly, but saw that his master's eyes were already red.
Because they wanted Nan Han to talk to A Luo alone, Xiao Yu and other maids waited together. When they saw "Nan Han" come out, Xiao Yu immediately went to greet her, "Princess..."
"I'm tired and want to rest. Please prepare a room for me!" Shui Yao waved her hand and deliberately lowered her voice.
Xiaoyu didn't hear any flaws and immediately took the order and went forward.
Shui Yao sat in the hall not far from Qizhan Linglong, and someone brought up fruits and various delicacies and waited on her side.
Because tonight was a trap set up by Yue Nanxuan, there were soon no people around Qizhan Linglong, leaving only a bunch of treasures glowing lonely in the moonlight.
Shui Yao sneered, thinking that this was a trap set by Yue Nanchen to lure her out, but it was so obvious... Did he really think she was a fool?
Xiaoyu came back soon. Shuiyao stood up, with Nanhan's face, and went to the room with Xiaoyu to rest proudly.
Yue Nanxuan quickly changed his clothes, wearing a dark brocade robe and a jade-colored hair crown. With an impolite smile on his face, he hid in the room, waiting for Red Rose to appear.
Yue Nanchen looked at the seven roses from afar, his handsome face expressionless. The only reason he agreed to Yue Nanxuan's nonsense was that he wanted to see the true face of this red rose!
"Your Highness!" A little palace maid ran over and handed a handkerchief to Yue Nanchen. "Someone asked me to give this to Your Highness, saying that Your Highness would understand after seeing it!"
