Chapter 370 Entering the Palace to Attend the Dinner
Just then, You Er walked in with hot water. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned.
The eldest young master stared at the crying Qian Duoduo motionlessly, and You Er was full of confusion: What was going on?
Lan Shenye came back to his senses and looked at You Er: "Put it down and get out."
You Er responded, put the basin aside, walked out with a puzzled look in his eyes, and closed the door.
Only Lan Shenye and Qian Duoduo were left in the room.
"Duoduo, I won't drink so much in the future."
Qian Duoduo felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She actually started crying in front of Brother Lan. However, seeing how Brother Lan drank just now, she felt really uncomfortable and distressed. She sullenly said "hmm" as a response.
Seeing this, Lan Shenye reached out and pulled gently. Qian Duoduo lost his balance and fell forward, instantly falling onto the small couch with Lan Shenye.
At that moment, their lips accidentally touched.
Qian Duoduo blushed instantly, and she climbed up from Lan Shenye in a hurry, stammering, "I, I, I didn't mean it, it was you..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became almost the sound of a mosquito.
Lan Shenye chuckled softly. Qian Duoduo turned around and glared at him, scolding him, "Are you still laughing?"
Lan Shenye said gently, "Duoduo is very cute." After he finished speaking, he stood up and swayed slightly.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo quickly reached out to support him and said, "You have a good rest. I'm leaving now."
However, Lan Shenye was unwilling to let go.
He gently pulled, and Qian Duoduo fell into his firm arms. He lowered his head and said in a voice that only she could hear: "Duoduo, you want to leave after you just kissed me?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's face turned even redder than a ripe apple. She argued, "Well, I didn't mean to do that. If you hadn't pulled me, I wouldn't have pounced on you..."
A playful smile appeared on Lan Shenye's lips, "I don't care, I'll kiss you back." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Qian Duoduo lightly on the lips like a dragonfly touching the water, and then quickly left.
Qian Duoduo's face showed both shyness and anger: "Hmph! I see you are not drunk, so I won't pay attention to you." After saying that, she broke free from Lan Shenye's arms, ran to the door, opened it suddenly, and ran out.
Lan Shenye stood there in a daze for a long time. He slowly turned around and walked to the shelf beside him. He picked up a white handkerchief, dipped it in the clean water in the basin, and wiped his face to make himself more awake.
The handkerchief was put back in its place, and Lan Shenye walked towards the desk with slightly heavy steps.
He sat down slowly, looking at every corner of the room with empty eyes, and Xiao Muzi's muttering could be heard in his ears.
Meanwhile, Qian Duoduo was breathing heavily, her hands clenched into fists, her heart pounding like a drum. Her cheeks flushed red, and Xiaohong stared at her mistress curiously, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red?"
Qian Duoduo hurriedly covered her cheeks with her hands, "Is it very red?"
Xiaohong nodded vigorously, "That's right, it's as red as a sunset."
Qian Duoduo hurriedly fanned himself with his hands, "Well, I'm hot."
Xiaohong curled her lips and said, "No one would believe that."
"Let's go, let's go find Yueyue to play." Qian Duoduo took two steps but suddenly stopped. She shook her head and said softly: "Forget it, let's not go find Yueyue today, let's go back." Before she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door.
Xiaohong shook her head helplessly and followed.
Elsewhere, Chuchun was holding an invitation. "Miss, a eunuch just came and said it was an invitation from the Queen, asking you to come to the palace tonight for a banquet. He said all the ladies and wives of the emperor's family will be attending the banquet. The eunuch gave me the invitation and left."
Lan Xiyue took the invitation and unfolded it. A playful smile appeared on her lips, and then she casually threw the invitation aside: "What the hell? Why did you invite me? I have severed ties with the Marquis' Mansion and am now an ordinary citizen, not a daughter of an official."
Chuchun stood aside, her face filled with joy: "My lady, in three days, it will be the day for your wedding to the Regent. You are not an ordinary citizen. Not only will you be the granddaughter of the Protectorate, you will also be the Regent Princess."
Lan Xiyue's lips curled up into a faint smile. "The Imperial Palace is beautiful, but it's crowded with people, full of intrigue. I don't know if this dinner is just a simple dinner or a Hongmen Feast."
Chu Xia scratched her head in confusion: "Miss, if you say that, I'm afraid that attending a dinner party will cause any trouble. Otherwise, Miss, don't go."
"There's nothing to do anyway, let's go have some fun!"
Chuchun hurried to the cabinet and began to search: "Miss, what clothes are you going to wear to the palace tonight?"
Lan Xiyue glanced casually, her eyes landing on the blue dress in Chuchun's hand: "The blue one in your hand!"
Chuchun looked at the dress in her hand and gently hung it on the rack.
At this time, Chu Xia suddenly interrupted and said, "Miss, Xiao Denglong said that not long ago, the eldest young master was a little drunk, and it was Miss Qian who helped the eldest young master back." There was a bit of curiosity and gossip in her tone.
Lan Xiyue sighed softly upon hearing this. "That's what I told you. My brother must have gone out to drink with Lu Jingzhou. He must be feeling unhappy, so drinking a little might help him calm down."
Chu Xia added, "But Miss Qian's face was red when she left."
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "Oh? Really?"
Chu Xia nodded, "Yeah."
Lan Xiyue smiled and didn't say anything. Duoduo would be a good sister-in-law to her. Her brother and Duoduo are a good match!
By the time it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Lan Xiyue had already changed her clothes, finished her makeup, and was ready to go out to the palace.
At this time, Mo Liyuan came, "Yuer, I'm here to pick you up."
Lan Xiyue smiled and turned to look at Chuchun and Chuxia: "Don't follow me."
After she finished speaking, she followed Mo Liyuan out and got on the carriage.
Tianyi drove the carriage towards the palace.
