He kept staring at Duan Qingxi with a half-smile on his face, as if he found her very interesting.
Duan Qingxi met his gaze and then silently looked away.
She thought to herself that her senior brother seemed a little abnormal!
While everyone was eating and drinking, the national master did not touch the food in front of him and kept staring at Duan Qingxi.
Only when the emperor toasted him would he occasionally move the wine glass in front of him.
She didn't know if it was Duan Qingxi's illusion, but she always felt that this great imperial teacher didn't seem to need to eat.
After three rounds of drinking, the Queen suggested that the young ladies from each family perform.
It seems to be a random idea, but in fact it has been planned long ago, and the purpose is just to attract the attention of single men for these ladies.
Duan Qingxi glanced at Duan Sijin. The handsome young man naturally attracted a lot of attention. He and Su Yuecheng opposite him became the targets of all the single ladies.
Naturally, there were also people who had the courage to look at Helian Wushuang.
Unfortunately, the eyes of these three handsome men from Shengyuan Kingdom showed no emotion.
There are so many beauties at the scene, but they seem to not be able to take a liking to any of them.
Among the women who performed, Duan Qingxi only admired three.
One is Su Ziling who plays the pipa. It is said that she is Su Yuecheng's sister. She keeps staring at Duan Sijin.
One is Leng Pianran who is dancing with a sword. It is said that she is the legitimate daughter of a certain Shangshu. She has been staring at Su Yuecheng.
One was the dancing Qin Ruo, rumored to be the Prime Minister's daughter, who couldn't stop staring at... Helian Sheng?!
Duan Qingxi looked again and again, somewhat unsure whether she was looking at Helian Sheng or Helian Wushuang.
After the performance, the emperor praised them a few more words and then began to arrange marriages for all of them.
After matching a few couples, it turns out that almost all of them are attracted to each other, or it doesn’t matter.
What follows is the highlight, and also the most embarrassing one.
The emperor arranged a marriage between Su Ziling and Duan Sijin, Leng Pianran and Su Yuecheng, and Qin Ruo and Helian Wushuang...
Just as he finished speaking, Su Yuecheng suddenly stood up and said boldly: "Your Majesty, I already have someone else in my heart. I am afraid that I will disappoint Your Majesty and Miss Leng."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Su was so angry that he was almost possessed by the Black and White Impermanence on the spot!
The emperor's expression was naturally very ugly, and the ministers followed suit and started talking. Lord Leng's expression was naturally very unhappy, and Leng Pianran... that look in his eyes was enough to break anyone's heart.
At this time, Duan Qingxi also stood up and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, my brother cannot marry Miss Su either. Please revoke your order."
At this moment, the emperor's expression was indescribable.
Su Ziling had finally been granted a marriage, but when she heard what Duan Qingxi said, she immediately became anxious.
But as a girl, she couldn't say anything, otherwise it would seem like she was really eager to get married, and if that got out, she would be laughed to death.
The emperor dared to punish Su Yuecheng, but he might not dare to punish Duan Qingxi, so he asked in a deep voice: "Why can't I marry her?"
Duan Sijin was actually not satisfied with this arranged marriage. He already had someone in his heart, so naturally he didn't want to marry someone else.
But this was a marriage arranged by the emperor. Even if he was unwilling, he did not want to disobey the order in public. He just wanted to go back and ask his master for help to postpone the marriage.
So when he saw Duan Qingxi actually standing up for him, he quickly stood up and said, "Xi'er, don't be rude!"
Unexpectedly, Duan Qingxi was even tougher than him. He glanced at him coldly and said, "Sit down!"
