Nangong Nan arrived late on purpose. He glanced at everyone and saw that Nangong Yuanyi, like everyone else, was respectful and attentive to him.
But his eyes were not looking in the direction of him, the emperor.
Just listen to the emperor saying: "No courtesy, today is a family banquet, no need to be more polite, just sit down."
At this time, everyone sat down one after another.
However, King Yu, King Nan, and the Emperor had different thoughts at this time.
Nangong Nan looked at Nangong Yuanyi with mixed feelings in his heart. Just because Nangong Yuanyi was so popular and loved by everyone, some people even deified King Nan and Princess Nan.
Compared to his true destiny, Nangong Yuanyi's voice was indeed too high.
He also admitted that Nangong Yuanyi had done many practical things for the people in the past two years for the Northern Dynasty, and being recognized by the people only showed that he had outstanding abilities.
But the problem is that Nangong Yuanyi should not establish the Nanda Camp in southern Xinjiang. The emperor probably also forgot that Nangong Yuanyi had already reported the establishment of the Nanda Camp a long time ago and submitted a memorial to the court to request funding and troops. Guard the southern border.
The soldiers went, but the rations were kept being delayed.
Nangong Yu naturally knew what the two of them were arguing about. The emperor sent troops to southern Xinjiang because he did not trust Nangong Yuanyi. This was one of them.
The emperor listened to the slanderous words and wanted to punish the soldiers of the southern camp. This was the second fault.
Prince Yu also shook his head impatiently and sighed: "If I want that boy Yuan Yi to bow his head and submit, I'm afraid it will be harder than climbing to the sky."
Nangong Yuanyi naturally knew that the emperor was sizing him up. After so many years, he had already figured out the emperor's temper.
The emperor's temperament was wavering, and the decisions he made were not entirely his intentions. It is not difficult to guess how much of them were the prince's intentions.
The family banquet was slowly advanced, and soon the maids began to serve the dishes, all of which were exquisite dishes. Judging from these arrangements, the prince was indeed serious about it...
At this time, Nangong Yuanyi was completely transformed into a little puppy, and his whole mind was on his princess. It was a family dinner, and the people sitting next to her were naturally very familiar relatives.
For example, the King of Chu and his wife, Shangguan Wei and his wife, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, as well as other elders, and even Princess Yu and others who had been sitting with the eldest princess, all looked at them...
Suddenly, An Xiyue's face was red with embarrassment, and she thought to herself: "Is it because she looks too ugly when eating? But she is really hungry and can't control the temptation of delicious food."
Nangong Yuanyi wiped the corners of her mouth again, glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "Isn't this a family dinner? Aren't you all hungry? Are you looking at what we husband and wife are doing?"
Guan Yunqiao was the first to react and smooth things over: "When I was pregnant with Yan, I complained of hunger. Besides... Aunt Wang is still pregnant with twins, so she needs nutrition even more."
An Xiyue was really hungry, and then she realized that they were all staring at her because she looked ugly when eating.
An Xiyue blushed even more. When she was in southern Xinjiang, she was used to having Nangong Yuanyi take care of her, and she forgot her sense of propriety for a while.
So, as if nothing had happened, An Xiyue served Nangong Yuanyi's meal very naturally, first serving him a bowl of soup, then serving him dishes, and deliberately keeping a distance from him.
Tonight's banquet is very strange. It is different from the usual banquets in the palace. It is arranged like an ordinary family having a reunion dinner.
In fact, Nangong Rui specially ordered the palace people to arrange this in this way, just because the family banquets in An's house were like this. Nangong Rui and An Xiyue had dinner at such a banquet several times.
Who would have thought that throughout the entire dinner, Nangong Yuanyi would not shy away from serving An Xiyue in every possible way, and there was no way he looked like a prince.
Nangong Rui actually watched them show off their affection, and felt even more sad.
