Make You Happy

  Chapter 214 The Drunkard Doesn’t Care About Drinking

  After Li Ange finished speaking, Ruan Youqing realized that the reason why she accompanied the sixth prince and seventh princess of Yuhuan Kingdom was all because of the queen's arrangement.

  But Li Ange didn't like the flirtatious style of these two.

  Receiving Li Ange's call for help, Ruan Youqing frowned in embarrassment. At this time, she really had no good way to help Li Ange, especially on this occasion.

  Just as the two were frowning together, the brother and sister Nangong Liuhan and Nangong Liuyun unexpectedly came towards them.

  「Princess Puyang, this beautiful lady is...」

   Nangong Liuhan just stood in front of Ruan Youqing, his eyes were attracted by Ruan Youqing and couldn't move away.

   After all, he rarely sees such a soft and delicate girl.

  And Nangong Liuyun looked at Ruan Youqing with scrutiny in his eyes.

Seeing that she had accidentally caused trouble for Ruan Youqing, Li Ange felt a burst of remorse, and quickly stood in front of Ruan Youqing, with a stiff smile, "This is the young lady of General Ruan's residence, and I have a pretty good relationship with you." It's just that...she has been ill for a long time and is extremely weak, and she rarely leaves the house on weekdays! No, I finally saw her, so I came over to say hello to her."

Hearing Li Ange covering himself, Ruan Youqing immediately picked up the handkerchief he hadn't used for a long time and covered his mouth, coughed a few times, and then said softly: "Youqing has met the sixth prince of Yuhuan Kingdom, and the sixth prince of Yuhuan Kingdom. Seventh Princess."

  After hearing that she had been ill for a long time, Nangong Liuhan was not as interested as before, and only said a few polite words in a perfunctory manner.

  Li Si also came over at this time, and after greeting everyone in the Ruan family, he blushed and said to the Nangong brothers and sisters: "The banquet is about to begin, you two go and take your seats first."

  After speaking, the Nangong brothers and sisters followed Li Si and left.

   However, Nangong Liuyun looked back at Ruan Youqing with a smile, with deep meaning in his eyes.

   Seeing this, Ruan Youqing frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

  This Nangong Liuyun does not seem to be a simple one.

  Because Li Ange couldn't sit around at will, he could only follow behind them with a sullen expression.

   After everyone was seated, the **** outside shouted into the hall with a majestic voice: "The emperor is here!"

   After the words fell, everyone stood up and bowed towards the door.

  Even the prince of Nanting Kingdom and the six princes and seven princesses of Yuhuan Kingdom were not exempt from this etiquette.

  After all, as juniors, it is common for them to salute their elders.

  At this time, the emperor strode in with a serious face. Apart from a few attendants and the queen who had been waiting for him outside for a long time, beside him was a person whose aura was not inferior to his.

   It was Ning Guo's chief assistant, Gu Chang'an.

  When Ruan Youqing looked up, he was in a trance for a moment.

  At this time, Gu Changan was wearing a black court dress, with a hint of unruliness between his brows and eyes, as if looking down on all sentient beings.

  Ruan Youqing only felt that the emperor had spoiled him too much by allowing him to behave like this regardless of other people's opinions.

  After the emperor also took his seat, the graceful dancers entered one after another. When the music started, they danced with smiles on their faces.

  Following their dancing postures, the maids each carried dishes and placed them on the table in front of everyone.

  The two of them used the same desk, so Ruan Youqing naturally sat with Ruan Youning.

  After the food was served, the dancer got the order to put on the final ending posture, and the emperor cleared his throat and began to speak some very official words.

  Until he finished speaking, with a big wave of his hand, the dancer swayed again, and the banquet officially began, and everyone could use the dishes in front of them.

  Because everyone was not allowed to bring their own servants with them at the palace banquet, therefore, there was a maid waiting on both sides of each table.

  However, although the dishes placed in front of them looked exquisite and delicious, how could everyone really focus on eating them at this time.

  Although the food was silent, everyone still listened to the movement of the emperor.

  If the emperor speaks, everyone must put down their chopsticks and listen attentively.

   "I am very happy that all the envoys have come from afar. I welcome you with a glass of sake."

   Sure enough, after a few mouthfuls, the emperor raised his wine glass.

  After hearing this, everyone stood up and had a drink with the emperor.

   After several turnovers like this, after two or three glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

  Several respected veterans also toasted in turn.

  After Xiao Taifu toasted the wine, Nangong Liuhan, the sixth prince of Yuhuan Kingdom, suddenly stood up with a smile, and said loudly to the emperor:

   "Excuse me for being cold, the seventh princess of Yuhuan Kingdom would like to toast you a glass of wine to the emperor."

  After the words fell, Nangong Liuyun also stood up, raised his wine glass with both hands and left the table, then walked to the center of the hall, and saluted the emperor.

  The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and said slowly: "Princess, you don't have to be so polite."

Nangong Liuyun raised a smile, and said: "Liuyun has long heard that you are wise and powerful, and you are admired by all people. When I saw you today, Liuyun only felt that what I said was a little lacking. I just saw you from a distance. With just one glance, Liu Yun couldn't stop feeling reverence in his heart. As a junior, it's only natural for Liu Yun to toast the elders he admires, right?"

  These words naturally coaxed the emperor to laugh loudly.

  Ruan Youqing still lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Ruan Youning on the side couldn't bear to watch it, and couldn't help but moved to Ruan Youqing's side, lowering her voice and said, "Is this princess of Yuhuan Kingdom covered with honey? This praise of the emperor of another country is so sincere, when she It’s almost as if it’s real.”

  Ruan Youqing then moved, and raised his finger to his lips: "Sister, don't talk too much on this occasion. Even if you lower your voice, be careful."

   Seeing her little sister's serious expression, Ruan Youning hurriedly closed her mouth obediently.

  At this time, Nangong Liuyun saw that the emperor's eyes on her gradually softened, so she continued to speak boldly: "Liuyun came to your country with the emperor this time, actually... has selfish intentions."

   "Oh? Selfishness? Let's hear it." The emperor was taken aback for a moment, and then he was a little surprised at the princess's boldness.

   Nangong Liuyun pursed his lips and smiled, and then looked at Gu Changan, who was sitting on the left hand of the emperor, drinking alone, with eyes full of spring.

   It so happened that Ruan Youqing raised her eyes in surprise when she heard the sound. From her angle, she saw Nangong Liuyun looking at Gu Changan affectionately.

  Heart suddenly sank, Ruan Youqing's expression darkened instantly.

  This woman has her eyes on Gu Changan!

   What a ulterior motive!

   There were also many young masters and young ladies who came with their elders. But among these young masters, almost none can compare to Gu Changan.

  Although Ruan Lingjun, who bowed his head and restrained himself, is also very outstanding, it's just that he is as repulsive as Ruan Youning on this occasion. In order to avoid attracting attention, he restrained his edge and lowered his sense of existence from the moment he came in.

   Therefore, Gu Changan, who is fully exposed, is naturally more likely to attract the attention of some people than him.

   Nangong Liuyun, who had obtained the emperor's permission, smiled softly, and spoke in a delicate voice:

   "Your Majesty, Liu Yun came to Ningguo with his brother this time, in fact, he also wanted to find a good husband. Now, Liu Yun really has his eyes on one."

  「I don’t know who has such an honor?」

   "Liuyun... I have taken a fancy to the Chief Assistant of your country, I wonder if the emperor can make it happen?"
